> Just as in many other parts of the world, expanding electrical consumption through electric vehicles does not make sense if we also don't actively decrease our dependency on fossil fuel.

Of course, but it's kind of a chicken and egg problem. The sooner we switch to electric cars, the earlier the right incentives and levels of demand are in place to upgrade our electricity generation and grid.
It indicates they’re not using it for work.
I studied Latin and to me it’s the syntax that’s interesting and useful for this career. Subject-object-verb structure, and the words change depending on their usage (declension/conjugation). Picking apart a sentence in a foreign language and making sense of the structure is a lot like programming so it’s a transferable skill
Operating systems are suppose to assist the user. In this and most cases the law is a system of oppression. 16 years is a travesty. Economics and science are the true operating systems of society.

You go to law school to learn security exploits.
That's not the argument I'm making. I'm saying that it's better to have a pollution-spewing plant outside of the city than drive thousands(millions?) Of vehicles right next to the areas where people walk and live and work and eat. A taxi driver idling their shitty diesel outside of my window at 2am wouldn't be an issue if their vehicle was electric. A major throughway next to a kindergarten wouldn't be an issue if those vehicles were electric. At least not due to pollution, there are still other problems regardless of the fuel used.
I use digitalocean.

Not because they are cheap but because they are great. It just so happens they have a $5 / month plan for a 1 CPU core / 1GB of memory / 25GB SSD server.
I'd guess it's similar to using a lot of English words to make compound nouns, except it is slightly worse to read, so if the word is new you'd usually slow down a bit to properly parse it.

On the upside, you don't have to guess where the compound noun ends end the rest of the sentence starts, which can also cost time or cost confusion.
Nope, those who liked to piss in the corners still do so. When you're that kind of guy and you're drunk (and there's lot of drunks and drunk tourists) you're not looking for a decent place to do it, you don't care.

A more intelligent solution, there used to be metal instalments in Amsterdam that redirected the stream right on your pants ... it least the net value isn't negative as offenders were forced to carry some of those liquids home.
I had the same problem after an update _ I found that on my 2017 mpb system they’ve either reverted the change or allow you to change the last few values of your address.
I traveled extensively across most of Europe and also a bit of US. In the northern half of Europe pedestrians are crossing the streets in a very orderly manner, the entire summer I lived in Vienna I haven't seen a single pedestrian crossing a red light, not even on streets with almost no traffic. In the southern part things are different, but on average in Europe people pay more attention to crossing the streets than in US. That explains the lower fatalities.

Also in Europe people text less; I never understood the US preference for texting, in Europe we simply talk (many countries have affordable or unlimited voice plans). When I drive a car (10-20% of the time) I have a headset in my ear, when I ride the motorcycle I have a helmet headset turned on on auto-answer. I don't talk too often while driving, but it is less distracting than texting, I never have to touch the phone while driving (on the bike it is not even possible).
I carry a GL.iNet GL-MT300N-V2 (Mango) with my own build of openWRT on it. Allows for all sorts of network hackery. Powers right from the usb port on my laptop. I never connect "bare" to a public network without it.

I'd give up a considerable amount of battery capacity to have it built in to the laptop.
Hi!
Joining the party late, but why did you guys opt for the two propellers up/two propellers down design?
That is a vox article. It's fun to read and gets a lot of shares on social media. But it wildly exaggerates reality and wildly downplays that massive demand and growth in car ownership during that period.

The idea that everyone hated cars and the evil car lobby came in and forced it upon them is flat out incorrect.
I like it, it's clean, simple and puts content first.
MAC addresses only have to be unique to your local network, they aren't used for wider inter-network routing.
I am still having a really hard time finding a reason to upgrade my late-2013 MBP (which I am currently typing this on) to any of their newer hardware. Every generation that came out was "meh, 5% more perf, 10% more bullshit compromise".

At this point, I am looking forward to October 22nd. I will be checking out the new surface laptops as a replacement. I think I was already sold when the presenter removed the top cover on stage. I really enjoy the UX that macOS affords, but Apple is simultaneously so abusive to developers and tinkerers. It's hard to reason with and I just feel like I am done with them at this point. I'll get a new battery installed on this machine and keep it around as an emergency iOS app build agent (for as long as latest Xcode->macOS->my hardware are supported, that is).

Ideally, we move all of our client's B2B apps onto UWP/Android/PWA so I don't even have to maintain a build path to the hellhole that is iOS applications. My life as a developer could just consist of a Microsoft/Android stack and that would be so wonderful. I'd never have to leave visual studio again.
There's not that much work done to be able to comment something about this language; maybe it would be interesting after about a year or two.

It is entirely possible to create a statically-typed language with C-like performance and scripting-language-like interactivity (the most similar is Julia, which also uses LLVM under the hood), but the details would be pretty complex enough to make this quite a big project.

Still, it's good to see there are languages other than Jai trying to compete in the rather niche gamedev programming space.
No.. You wouldn't need a ZKP for that.

From the paper:

> Note that such a proof is not straightforward. We firstly
prove that a ciphertext, CS N I , is the result of an encryption
without disclosing the public key nor the plaintext. This
causes the highest overhead in our construction. We use
the construction presented in [7] for this purpose.

> Then we
need to link the public key encrypted in clause two, with
the one used in clause one. For this we use a proof that two
commitments hide the same secret [5].

> Finally the third clause
can be openly computed by A given that it received the public
key from R.

> Using this, S can convince A that the tunnel created is to
a domain that the latter considers valid, without disclosing
which one.
I've come to believe that "excessive abstraction" is practically a synonym for "object oriented programming". It takes an incredible amount of discipline to not abstract unnecessarily in an OO shop.
I don't think they are. They are saying that if you are connecting to an Ethernet network which is only being used for a /24 IPv4 Network, then that Ethernet has plenty of MAC addresses available.
That has to be one of the most entertaining, bizarre and depressing accounts of local politics I have ever read. Thanks.

There was no suggestion of 'blame', just an observation of a correlation; it was unfair of you to reframe introspection that way. Our behavior is not "entirely under our control" - indeed, there isn't even a well defined 'I' for behaviour to be under the control of.

Concepts like 'blame' and 'resposibility' are useful in the context of individual behavior, but misguided when trying to improve systems. That is why the NTSB avoids assigning blame - it would undermine the purpose of what they do.

And it's OK that this move is making the Mayor more than a few enemies.

This is basically a PR piece. The mayor has enemies because of the attrocities she inflict on parisian citizens ie: http://belairsud.blogspirit.com/archive/2016/04/03/du-style-...

All of this while tripling the deficit and turning some districts into crackheads theme parks (you can google "la colline du crack").

Several other miscelanous issues:

- rat problem

- bad planing in street renovation projects causing huge jams (and thus polution spikes...)

So she now plays the victim cards saying her vocal opponnents are nasty car addicts. And some people believe it.

> I spent a week in Paris last Christmas, and made use of many of those public toilets, especially because I have a toddler. The ones I used didn't spell outside. I'm sure I only have a small sample of maybe a dozen, but I have no reason to think they're an exceptional sample?

I think parent is complaining about the ones that are just for men to urinate into (hrmmm, seems like those were never brought back).

Now I'm confused. The public toilets shouldn't smell from outside.

You're talking about the (finally free to use) public toilets. They're great, but just not enough imo: 400 in total with 75% closing late in the night.
If your TLD will be used for email addresses, I'd recommend sticking to .com, .org, or .net.

A lot of spammers are sending a lot of spam using addresses in the newer TLDs. There is so little legitimate mail from them compared to the spam that it can make sense to treat the whole TLD as a spam source and whitelist any legitimate correspondents you have there.

As far as I know, the new TLDs are fine for websites. Maybe do something like able.bio for your site, but also get something like able-bio.com [1], and use that for mail from the site.

[1] I am just assuming that able.{com,net,org} are already taken.
I don't think what you say contradicts anything in the article ...
Compare the last 18 years with, say, the period from 1955 to 1973. There are still people who write poems in Latin as well. They don't cost much, nor do they channel large populations of intelligent people away from real problems.
Using security exploits is non-coercive. Law is coercive.

Because you can’t change the MAC you are going to completely abandon Apple? This seems a bit ridiculous. I refuse to run Windows and Linux from a GUI/workstation/productivity standpoint doesn’t work for me.
Long-distance, high-speed inter-city transport should be by railways.

Inter-city should be either low-speed (max 25Km/h) electric golf-buggies, trams, buses, light-rail or cycling or walking.

Cars are a temporary aberration that relied upon apparently cheap energy and resulted in a selfish, aggressive privatization of public space.

Time for their misuse to be curtailed. (Leave them to the emergency services).
Given that IP address, user agent, fonts, screen dimensions, and a few other data points easily found via JavaScript can create a fingerprint [0], isn't a bit disingenuous to suggest any browser can truly block tracking, especially if JavaScript is enabled?

I could use cURL to perform all web browsing, but my IP Address + User Agent could still be tracked by the website I visit.

With time, what seems to be occurring is a game of cat-and-mouse where trackers develop more powerful heuristics for creating fingerprints.

Good content finds its readers itself.
BTW, how is Visual Studio for Android? I've only ever used IntelliJ/Android Studio, and it seems like this is the best supported environment since it is the "official" one, but I'm curious about the other side.
Very cool project! Do you have any plans for a Zupiter API? I'd love to build a utility module or two, maybe even a filter.
I know, but it does take my attention when I didn’t ask for it. I wouldn’t complain about notifications as an additional feature, but I don’t see the benefits outwheigh the downsides when it should become a default — especially from a community perspective.
Yup. Nassim Taleb's skin-in-the-game definitely comes into play when we are considering collisions.
Life is nicely done, kudos.

If you want automatic sorting, deduping, and a fun & performant web UI, I'd love to have you try out PhotoStructure (which uses exiftool under the hood, via https://github.com/photostructure/exiftool-vendored.js). For more information, see https://blog.photostructure.com/introducing-photostructure/
Slow, buggy, and brittle. What is a good replacement for a small team that needs to share logins, passwords, and other secrets?

Violin is definitely much harder to pick up than piano though, regardless of experience with other instruments. Obviously mastery is hard for both, but getting a basic pleasant melody out of a piano is far easier than doing the same with a violin.

Haskell is rather similar to a violin in that respect.
Lots of tunnels a la The Boring Company and electric vehicles. The tech seems to work, but the politics doesn't support it. People in government want mass transit they control, not personalized transit.

Someone who lives in the Netlerhands here:

This probably has something to do with the fact the discounted additional tax liability for leased Teslas will go away soon and everybody planning to lease a Tesla from that moment will need to pay more taxes.

So everybody who wants a Tesla is signing leasing contracts for them like crazy right now.
The link was not to the article, as the post you replied to clearly stated.
> The environmental results are ambiguous at best. There were around five days with elevated ozone levels, for instance, in 2014, the year Ms. Hidalgo took over; in 2018 there were from 15 to 22, depending on which part of the city you were in.

>“There are fewer cars, but there is more congestion, and that can affect pollution levels,” said Paul Lecroart, an urban planning expert at the Paris regional planning agency.

I think this is what makes people angry. There is no evidence that this actually reduced pollution, in fact, it seems like it increased pollution. In addition, it has greatly inconvenienced a lot of people. So, unless you are a die-hard bike fan, this mayor’s program seems like a net negative to you.
I did as well. Made a much more cautious person, seeing how (my only) life is fragile. That and fights. Seeing people get killed by a single punch, or pounced upon by murderous madmen, cleared any temptation to be a tough guy. Now if there's ever a situation, in a bar or whatever, I just walk away. Not worth it to die or be maimed for whatever bullshit.
Not sure I really need 8+ cores and 32G of RAM on a personal computer. I think there's some sort of max complexity ratio between the human mind and your equipment that, if you exceed it, means you'll never really know what's going on in there. I'd argue that 4 cores and 16G RAM already exceeds that threshold, by a lot.
From some of the comments here, it seems like it could be correlated with aphantasia. I wonder if it might be also correlated with alexithymia: https://www.alexithymia.us/

I think it's great that we're finally discovering how people's minds are measurably different internally, even when we've all learned to present similarly, and when we all expect each other to have the same inner experience.
I didnt think about how hard Haskell is because I never forced myself to learn it. It just didnt interest me. With Java or C# I can make so many things with minimal friction. The other language that people talk about being hard is Rust. I am going to assume theres blog posts about it not being hard.

I like that with Go or Erlang everything I learned 5 or more years ago has still stuck to me. With D I can be effective quickly. With Rust I struggle a bit. Rust is probably great for building a web browser but doing backend web development feels way more work than Go or even Python (CherryPy). Haskell I dont even remember a darn thing anymore.
The job of elected officials is to represent the people, no more, no less. "Improve stuff" is extremely subjective I don't think I want one guy to decide what it is.
Not gonna happen, Poland barely has enough power to sustain itself, with so little energy investment that we are going to experience serious deficits in the next decade during electricity consumption peaks (mainly hot summer days with AC systems at full capacity).
There are some plans to build new coal units, but these obviously meet with a lot of justified protest. There are also plans to build nuclear units, but only in some undefined distant future and they could meet with protest too. And renewables are gaining ground too slowly to replace coal (which will be shutting down over time due to brown coal depletion, environmental impact and aging technology). Not that wind and solar can completely replace fossil fuels, nuclear and hydro – the variance in output is too great and beyond our control at the moment.
Personally, I think major investment in nuclear would be best. It would cost a lot though, there's no way around that. But environmental impact would be greatly limited and a Europe–wide effort could significantly reduce costs. Unfortunately it seems that it's not gonna happen, with Germany for example irrationally shutting down plants after Fukushima was hit with a tsunami (as if there was any risk of a natural disaster in Germany).
I don't see the article claiming people hated cars.

What the auto industry accomplished was to push the government to favor cars to the eventual exclusion of almost every other form of transit.

Even if people didn't hate cars, this still wasn't a fair fight in an open market. It was an industry co-opting consumer and voter power.

You're right. Even a tax break to encourage the Japanese mini cars, in the same bracket as the European Smart car would be a step in the right direction for EVs. The old 60s-90s mini is about half the size and weight of the new one that would be better called a 'Huge'. We shouldn't keep hauling around 1-2 tonnes.

Considering the number of vehicles that are single occupant, it's an incredible waste, and mostly needless. That's quite apart from what could be saved by appropriate public transport.
It's probably more of a 'last straw on the camel's back', not the specific situation.
Yeah, they don't need to evangelize it, they just have the critical mass to use it everywhere and the rest of us have to deal with their garbage.
MACs don't need to be unique outside of a given bridge domain and in the modern world there is almost always 1 bridge domain per subnet. It's actually fairly common to have "duplicate" MACs in enterprise networking, well known MACs are reused for first hop redundancy protocols like VRRP.

I think the relevance is that because the ISP is incentivized to offer their ad page instead of the correct setting they're monkeying with the proper operation of DNS + caching. Or, even more likely the service the ISP is using to do ad serving on "missing" domains is doing this on their behalf.
I’m unsure of what you’re trying to say here. The issues that Kalai poses as to the validity of the experiments done by Google’s Quantum AI Lab is that the difference between the ideal distribution D and sampled distribution D’ is meaningfully different enough from each other, that significant results cannot be obtained from the experiment in comparing performance to classical simulations.

The excerpt I posted above from the actual paper directly addresses the points made by Kalai, and provides reasoning and analysis for determining the 5 sigma confidence of their results.

This is again, why in my original post, I said I believed Kalai to be nitpicking, primarily because the additional statistical testing he proposed should be done, while surely never a bad thing wouldn’t do anything to change the ultimate confidence determinations and results. Kalai of course believes that the testing was insufficient. The easiest thing to do resolve such an issue is to perform the additional work that Kalai asks for in order to appease his suspicions. I have personally no problem with that. It’s never a bad thing to do more tests.

I wish to go back there someday, especially if it gets greener.

Already, it is pretty easy to commute around Paris without a car in most cases. I actually had to buy a last mile vehicle only when I arrived in the USA.

If a large city gets serious about banning/severely restricting car presence, I would immediately consider moving there.

A single consistent notation will be helpful for new polyglots.
