One point of clarification - I as a motorcyclist love rural roads. They make for fantastic, low stress rides. As a bonus in my area, they tend to include a lot of curves, which are lots of fun on a motorcycle.
People use it because it works and they can trust it, and it's easier to make that happen when you have simpler things.

While generally you are of course correct, this is not always the case. Some facets of reality have been willed/believed into existence. Nations and social orders are real, but only exist as long as people believe in them. For example, when in 1991 people stopped believing in the existence of the USSR, it was erased from the objective reality in a very brief span of time.

It can be similarly argued that the modern income/opportunity distribution owes its continues existence to the fact that enough people believe that it exists and is lawful.

People as in the average citizens. Higher regard being that the business has less control over the benefits of your life in Europe compare to the US.

Good affordable healthcare is standard many European countries. In the US it depends on your employer.

Minimum holiday entitlement in Europe is far more generous that in the US where again it is down to the business.

Maternity and paternity leave is better in Europe. In the US it depends on the business and your position in the comapny whether you get reasonable leave.

Unemployment benefits are more humane in many European countries. I have heard that in the US they will contact your last employer and whether you get unemployment benefits depends on what the employer says. While there are some limits in this regard in Europe your Ex employer's word doesn't hold as much weight.

I'm sure there are more examples I could come up with as well.

A small minority live fantastic lives in the US because the US has taken the idea of meritocracy and dialled it up to 11. The floor of the have-nots is much lower in the US in comparison to Europe because businesses have a wider degree of discretion in how they treat and reward employees. The person on the shop floor gets 1 week a year holiday while the regional manager gets 5 weeks a year.

Of course businesses in Europe have some discretion in the upper limits to the benefits they offer their employees but they are still restraint in the lower limits.

These differences I suspect are exactly why the GDP per capita is lower in European countries than in the US. Take Germany for example, an economic powerhouse and the 3rd largest global exporter. Impressive for a nation of just 83 million.

The US has a PPP GDP per capita about $10,000 higher than Germany I find it very difficult to believe the US is $10,000 more productive than Germany. The US just puts more value in wealth creation (business) at the expense of the people.

Europe has it's flaws in some of these things as well (e.g zero hour contracts) however it does better by the people more so than the US.

Does your hearing one country talk about this topic, and you not hearing another country talk about it matter or mean something in some way?
From my (brief) reading, it's pretty clear much depends on the participants to eagerly and honestly participate in such a dialog. My guess is that if you had to have "strong enforcement" of those principles, then the whole system would break down and a Bohm Dialogue would be impossible. If you had the right participants, the group could be self-correcting in those cases where the principles were violated unintentionally. I also think if you had the wrong participants, and such self-correction failed, the group would falter pretty quickly.

I think the approach has real value, but really isn't a technique for, say, moving "public discourse" forward: too many people with too much emotional zeal for their preexisting positions to have such a willing participation in such a dialog.
Shoshana Zuboff: ‘Surveillance capitalism is an assault on human autonomy’
With respect to the high price, it seems pretty simple really. Some people have a fair bit of money that they're willing to spend on their enthusiasms. This wouldn't even be a notable question if, instead of mechanical keyboards, we were talking "designer" handbags, shoes, custom-made suits, etc.

The auction question is more interesting. Auctions are well accepted when there's clear scarcity or uniqueness in what's being sold. With manufactured good, we at least harbor illusions that there's some relationship with cost. But for niche items, that's not really true of course.
You may be on to something here - I know that I was taught by the MSF, and their comments did stick with me.
The endgame is a hierarchical structure, where leaders who have overall moderation and organization control abilities for "their system" - within a decentralized system that allows full mobility of users to switch to someone else's system as a failsafe - are highlighted and essentially ranked by the number of users "following" - trusting - their moderation guidelines, and trusting they are making sure they're enforcing them adequately, efficiently, and in an acceptable, timely manner.

E.g. The system of users you're part of - who their "leader" is or who is at the lead - acts as a filter setting creating a safe space of users, community, that will be, is being moderated in a way that aligns with you - that you agree with; do you want to be in a good, healthy parental environment or a bad parenting environment?

There could also be a Board of Directors or Advisory layer - so perhaps known people who take a stand for freedom of speech like Jordan Peterson would be on advisory boards, or even perhaps taking a lead role himself if he cared to take on that role - whatever that ends up entailing.

I just feel this deserves repeating. I've had times where drivers who didn't know where they were going cut me off repeatedly.

8 year olds can accomplish pretty much any classification task. 20W * 3.154E7 seconds in a year * 8 years / 3600 seconds per hour gives about 70 kilowatt-hours, which would cost about $14 from the grid at $0.20/kwh. Our AI is nowhere near the intelligence of an 8 year old, who can presumably also do more things than just decide if a photo depicts a bus or an avocado.
It's disappointing how so much money is being poured into "mechanical keyboard kits" that simply re-create the old ANSI/ISO layouts that are rooted in old limitations from the days of the typewriter. Alternate layouts & ortholinear/ergonomic designs should be the forefront of the movement. All this focus on outdated designs makes the community "accessible" but also holds people back.

The emergence of row-staggered 40% boards is a particular disappointing anachronism. Don't think ortholinear boards can compete? OLKB boards usually sell several thousand every time a group buy runs, and the OLKB main store has a several-month long wait list. People who buy keycaps for these can end up spending $140 for 140 keycaps, 48 of which they'll ever even use... $200 minimum if they don't want Qwerty. The demand is there.

People dream about that old GITS typing scene, but we'll never achieve it when our instagram influencers are always hyping this kind of stuff. Japan at least has the right focus - Corne, Helidox, Lily58, Biacco42, and NumAtreus were all created in the past couple of years, with countless more coming.
While this is not completely incorrect, it should be pointed out that they would have dumped e. g. python just as well, since the primary complaint is about speed.

Also, "dumped" is the wrong word, because you insinuate here that they stopped using ruby altogether. That is not the case; the percentage usage declined in relative terms, but I do not know of any of these companies to have gone down to zero percent in regards to ruby. Which is typical - big companies use all sorts of different languages.

When it comes to speed, they have a point - there is just no contest between C and C++, when comparing it to ruby or python.

In my opinion, though, most of these who critisized ruby and python, are actually also people who are VERY very bad in either of these two languages. Some of them are still stuck with C and perl, too old to learn anything new. And no, the "I'm gonna learn a new language every week" crowd does not count - I have seen too much atrocious coding pattern by these people.

JavaScript is also a partial reason simply because of how important the www became - look at PHP's decline, which is a LOT due to JavaScript.

Machine vision is okay for ex post detection (e.g. https://blog.mapillary.com/tutorials/2017/08/21/mapping-traf... ), but realtime decision making? Nope. Never mind detecting people (RIP EH), even detecting a standardized set of basic shapes is harder in practice than in theory.

As for built in sat nav - I have three (3). Their notion of current max speed matches about 80% of the time...and that doesn't always match the actual max speed in meatspace.
Couldn't agree with this more. In the last company where I worked, there was (unfortunately) a very high turnover rate. As someone who sat in the office and saw these new people come and go, you could definitely tell the ones getting too excited/charged to fix things on day 1 burned out much sooner because they couldn't really grasp the whole picture.
I think it's about power.

If you have one guy calling all the shots, then he will necessarily have a very abstract and simplified view and use simple patterns like straight lines and rectangles. There just isn't time for complexity.

If everyone has their own little piece to design and evolve as they see fit, then they will take into account the local factors and nuances.

In the US, the person who takes your pupil distance (PD) usually isn't the person who writes your prescription. One is a doctor and the other a technician.

When you go to an optician, the doctor takes you in the back and determines your prescription. Then you go out front to the showroom and pick out your frames. There is usually a technician out there who will take the PD measurement and combine it with the prescription, and frame and lens selection to make your order. The technician is also the person who fits you with the new glasses when they arrive.
Yes, there is definitely no single through-line from "i know nothing" to "I can now program a microcontroller in Haskell" or whatever. It's a language which grew out of academia and still has a whiff of self-learning about it.

Not sure I follow about the environment variables.

As for 'exec this or send me an email' -- I would also much prefer to see this be done by systemd itself. Fortunately bash's 'pipefail' feature plus bsd-mailx's '-s' flag make this reasonably quick and sane; I wouldn't even bother to attempt it if I were stuck with POSIX sh or if the mail command lacked the logic to not send the mail if stdin is empty.
ARCHITECT: Arbitrary-precision Constant-hardware Iterative Compute
It can be very very hard to spot someone in all black clothing walking in the same direction at traffic beside the road. That's what causes these cases to go from criminal acts to be classified as an accident.

>Blaming pedestrian choices instead of examining root causes just excuses and justifies the unacceptable status quo.

It of course varies wildly by case if the pedestrian can be faulted at all. In my examples, I would argue yes. If crossing at a crosswalk, with the light, and someone making a right turn hits them? It'd be different.

Of course that's true with lots of things. Cameras, audio equipment, video gear. Whenever I go into B&H Photo in NYC I'm always struck by how quickly the prices go up as you transition from pretty serviceable amateur gear to the pro stuff.

I've done both for years and driving is definitely not more complex than cycling. The number of motorists who spend 90% of their drive time staring at their phones (and usually not causing an accident) attests to that. Cyclists on the other hand have to pay attention to the road to avoid hazards, other road users to avoid death, as well as balance their own weight the whole time (how many cyclists do you see putting on makeup on their way to work?).

Motorists should need to pay attention to their surroundings more since they've chosen a means of conveyance that can quite easily maim or kill due to a moment of inattention, but is that reality? No, because the risk is mostly externalized.

That's a question that has no single answer. Spark is a giant omnibus project with all sorts of bells and whistles, and the viable alternatives are going to vary wildly, depending on which subset of them you actually need/use.

Yes, but as I was saying logging, errors and so on can all be handled directly inside of IO. Given that you can't do any of these things in a pure function anyway, the only loss of dropping into the wider context of IO is type safety.
Where can I read without access ?
In the case of Warp, we add the connecting IP information as a header to the HTTP request for sites on Cloudflare. This will typically be inside TLS to the origin server, and so the source IP information will be encrypted and only visible to the web site being visited.

In the case of DNS information about the subnet, the query etc. is sent around unencrypted.

Privacy is a basic right; it is even constitutionally protected in the United States by the Fourth Amendment. However, it has always been accepted that gross invasions of privacy can be authorised in appropriate cases – for example, warrants to search houses, or warrantless searches of immigrants and prisoners. Why must the right to use end-to-end encryption, unlike the right to privacy in your home or at the border, be accepted without proof as inviolable?
I think you;ll probably need to post some links to these streams so that we can assess them.
it's funny because as kids the first thing they teach us is to look around before crossing the streets and make sure that vehicles on the streets saw us and stopped.

Adults are so pendatic about it that we develop muscle memory for it.

The reason is simple: don't assume other people won't make mistakes just because they were supposed to be careful and protect the weakest.

The safer option is to actually be proactive about safety, at the point that we would never think about crossing streets without looking first.

It is considered a severe distraction.

I noticed that bikers (not only them, but especially them) reasoning is kinda reversed.

I'm not a biker myself, I used to ride when I was younger, but I prefer to walk now.

As a walker I've had arguments with biker friends about the unsafety that their behaviour sometimes poses on pedestrians like going at high speed where there are other people around, arriving from behind when in a noisy city it's almost impossible to hear them and making simply suddenly dodging a puddle a life threatening hazard, riding on sidewalks, disobeying traffic laws etc. etc.

There is of course a majority of responsible bikers who are very careful, but what really baffles me is that talking about their own safety is a kind of taboo for a majority of them. Most of our arguments end up with them justifying with "cars are more dangerous, they should be more careful" and when I take them seriously and reply "so if cars are dangerous, why you never wear an helmet or other kind of protections except maybe a flashing light when on the streets?", the answer I get is usually "because it's their responsibility to not kill us".

It's really nonsense to me. I really don't understand the position.
Good list. I haven't been riding for a few years, but I had boiled all of this down into one golden rule: Assume every car IS out to kill you. This is basically your rule #8, but a little more succinct.

Adding to your list, I'd also suggest rule #11: When riding on a multi-lane street or highway, never ride adjacent to another vehicle. Speed up to get ahead or slow down to fall behind. This helps to avoid the other vehicle making a lane change into your path. Keep out of the other vehicle's blind spot.
Interesting. Thanks! Seems to validate and speak to the point: that these places are scarce (and so overcrowded) and valuable (as wealth has moved in and captured it as showpiece with low utility).
What, really, are the benefits? I used a friend's mechanical keyboard and it felt nice. Is that it? Is it necessary to spend 100s to get a good one? The whole thing seems insane to me. No judgement, I spend money on other stuff, it just doesn't make sense to me personally.

I typed this on a mac keyboard people seem to hate, so maybe it's Stockholm syndrome.

Essential GNU Binutils Tools
> held to the higher standard

This I disagree with. For better or worse, we are typically the ones who are riding on roads designed and built for them. We need to be held to the same standards, if not higher standards as motorcyclists and bicyclists, as we're intentionally playing in their turf, without their safety equipment.

If a bicyclist is careless, they are both stupid and negligent. If a car driver is careless, they are both stupid and negligent. The difference is that being careless on a bike of any type is more dangerous to you than being careless in a car, meaning that a biker can't afford to be careless if they want to go home at night.

Why is that?
Not sure how the DMCA prevents people in boats from hijacking ships, but your view isn't of any relevance, what's of relevance in France is France's view.

The DMCA allows people in non-US countries, working for companies in non-US countries, who have broken no law in those countries, to fall under arrest if they accidentally get into U.S. jurisdiction.

So when complaining that people in the U.S. who don't break U.S. law, may be prevented from doing business in France if they've broken French law, think back to what you sewed 20 years ago when the FBI decided that U.S. courts had global jurisdiction and arrested foreign citizens for not obeying.
