In addition to "essential" apps, like the early versions of Pokémon Go(?) that bizarrely needed to be sideloaded IIRC, and running your own (unpublished) apps - there are the numerous vendor-provided apps and app stores that avoid the play store gatekeeping.

Then there's f-Droid, the people that run without Google apps (alternate roms).

People probably said the same when building the car infrastructure in the early 20th century.
Someone else posted a picture already, but The Netherlands has a nationwide network of municipal-run charging stations. In Amsterdam they're placed in the middle of two parking spaces and have two sockets that service those two spaces, which are reserved for EV charging.

If you buy an EV you can ask the municipality to install more of these parking spots, and depending on existing saturation they will.

You get an RFID card that you hold up to the charging station to activate it, and you're then charged for its use.

> why would I need to own a car if public transit served my every need and I could take a zipcar/car2go/taxi for those rare, rare cases when I needed my own vehicle?

Many kids growing up in NYC rarely get to leave the city. They don't get to go upstate, see real nature and open spaces, go camping, hike a big mountain, swim in a natural lake, or experience the things that a large city cannot offer. Many never get a drivers license, rendering them immobile outside a major city, locking them in place.

For families in NYC that do not own a car, the only way to access these experiences is by renting a vehicle. Yet, New York charges a 20% tax on rental cars, and another 20% tax on paid parking spots, driving up the cost of renting a car to over $120/day, out of reach for many families that want to escape the city for a day or experience nature.

If NYC really cared about reducing inequality, and providing families access to experiences that everyone should be able to enjoy, they would eliminate these taxes and make car rentals/shares easier and far less expensive.
Germany is a net electricity exporter. So there is no large scale import of electricity of any kind into Germany. Of course, based on supply and demand, it might temporarily import electricity from other countires. Most overlooked though is, that like with car traffic, Germany is rather central in Europe. So a lot of electricity crosses Germany. A lot of the French nuclear energy is exported to Germany at the same time Germany is exporting the same amount (or more) to Austria or Belgium.

I would add that the elitist signaling that is rampant in functional programming in general and the Haskell community in particular is also not helpful.
The thing that kicked off this week's controversy about NYC in particular is a geniune attempt to improve transit by focusing on how to move the most people as fast as possible. What is angering drivers is that the city turned much of 14th St into bus-only lanes, and removed some street parking in the process as well.

And, it seems to have worked, at least from early indications! Buses now move much faster! If that holds up, it would ideally allow for even more improvements, like running more buses, speeding up official bus schedules to account for the lowered congestion, which hopefully will in turn result in more ridership, etc. https://www.wsj.com/articles/buses-cruise-through-manhattan-...
Cars work because they solve for the first and last mile (50yards) problem. Public transport is great - but it is coarser than private cars. Even timetabled buses cannot drive down every road

The "right" solution is presumably "sharing" car stack (no not Uber style sharing).

> adding a captcha to a site does nothing to prevent bots, it just alters the economics of any business that relies on the data

Definitely agreed. Recently I have been working on a side-project that makes use of bypassing/placating reCaptcha and it has been trivial and not so costly.

If it is accounts you're creating, it simply puts a "reasonable" price on account creation. If it is about scraped content, once again, does the same. However these costs already existed in terms of compute resources and time anyway. Captchas hardly made it any harder.

Representing an arbitrary sequence of bits, digits, etc. using a real number is the basis for arithmetic coding. As such, it's an approach that has been productive historically, and arithmetic coding continues to be widely used. So the basic idea of encoding whatever you want to encode in a single real number (obviously represented to just enough precision) isn't fruitless and boring. In this case it is a number that is easy to calculate using the formula given, which doesn't at first glance resemble a prime sieve.

How do you say VPN⁰ out loud? Would be good to clarify that in the opening paragraph.
That may well be so, but my conviction is that we need to substantially reduce carbon emissions across the board, and if that's true I don't think replacing gasoline cars with coal powered electricity plants makes a lot of sense, unless maybe the CO2 is captured and stored, but at that point you might as well go nuclear (which I am a proponent of, as the only realistic alternative at this point).
Typically, in my experience, WiFi portals will hijack HTTP traffic, but not DNS requests.

DNS will either be blocked until you're signed in, or actually resolve correctly even prior to login.

Otherwise, the incorrect DNS record could still be cached even after signing in.

At 40% coal provided electricity, electric cars are already way less poluting than combustion engines. Actually even just being powered by an efficient diesel generator would put them on a roughly equal level. So only 40% coal is already a benefit. But of course, we should get rid of our coal plants as quickly as possible. That is the one rather low hanging fruit in reducing the carbon footprint. And I think the 2038 number won't stand, the ramp-down will be far quicker now that climate change has finally gotten more awareness.

So, while not reaching the optimal numbers right now, any electric car bought today will still drive when the coal usage for the grid will be greatly reduced if not completely stopped. Any combustion engined car bought today isn't only worse in emissions already, it won't change, while the electric car gets "cleaner". Also, one should not underestimate the positive effect have on the rollout of reneweables as they can be charged at different times of the day, depending in the supply of reneweable energy.
I guess it's a bit different for two reasons:

1) Here users are using the bandwidth and it's not resold to companies like Hola does is with https://luminati.io. At least for now.

2) They whitelist domains, so they could only whitelist example.com and you know it's not like Tor where everything goes or Hola where someone is web scraping things through your IP.

See this bullshit from ISPs is what something like DNS over HTTPs would help with.

DNS isn't security. It's just an address book.
Even with the current mix in the electric grid, electric cars produce quite a bit less CO2 than any combustion engined car and get cleaner as more coal power plants are decommissioned. It is happening perhaps to slow, but it is happening. In 2019 electricity generation from coal was quite a bit down compared to 2018 due to CO2 certificates finally having an effect.

That's an opinion and that's fine, but I was wondering if it was the case, i.e., they are dependent on software.

By `this' you mean "basic steering and braking functionality depending on upgradable software", right?
In Germany - as well as in some other countries - the problem is not only generation of electricity, but the capacity to transfer it. There may be lots of renewables, but not way to transfer it to consumers because of not enough capacity in the grid. There is lots of public resistance to expanding the grid (mostly along the lines of "not in my backyard").

The speed of buses is not the appropriate metric by which we should be evaluating policy. Speedy empty buses are not exactly a win. Instead, we should be asking how much time and money does it take to get from point A to B.

Where the carbon is emitted is important for city residents. Electric cars are better for the local environment.
I agree, though weighted by actual people moved, not per-vehicle.

A guess: I'd be very surprised if speeding up the buses doesn't end up a net win here, given the density. In fact I believe that was evaluated in the proposal to make this change, but I haven't read it. I have been reading some preliminary proposals for new bus lanes in Washington, DC, and on the 16th St corridor there (which is less dense than Manhattan by a large margin), buses already, without dedicated bus lanes, account for 50% of passenger throughput during rushhour, despite being only about 3% of vehicles. At those kinds of ratios, it becomes fairly easy to come up with bus-prioritization schemes that end up as a net-win for commuting hours saved, even if you completely discount environmental impacts.

Internal combustion engines pollute the air where I'm living. Moving pollution away from residential areas is a worthwhile task in itself. That makes a lot of sense to me.

I live in a densely populated country. Even a relatively minor accident at a nuclear facility would trigger a huge evacuation (I've seen the disaster control plans), causing major economic harm. Also my country does not have any viable means to store nuclear waste responsibly. Nuclear does not look like the sane option here.
> IT process frameworks. Make a new one up! We have Scrum, ITIL, TOGAF etc. for some inspiration.

Totally agree. As unregulated as these are, they do have a chicken-and-egg problem. I can come up with a totally new framework/certification but getting people to accept it is going to be very difficult.
I was burnt out as a programmer a long time ago. Using my IT knowledge I moved into the field of business analysis and then on to project management. After a while I got tired of the politics so I switched to working as a network / operations engineer. More recently I went back to university to do post-grad research in model based software engineering and now freelancing as a consultant / project manager.

I have never felt that I had to stay stuck doing something that I no longer enjoyed. For me learning new material (and enterprise scale networks was a big challenge) and facing new challenges has always been more inspiring than merely picking up a fat wage. The biggest problem being that, for most people, their spending increases faster than their income. Exercising a small bit of restraint and having some savings opens up so many great opportunities and adventures.

I can understand the fear of starting from zero. But that doesn't need to be the case. What I have always done is to focus more on domain knowledge and then segueing from one area to a adjoining one. Technical knowledge, alone, quickly becomes outdated. But domain knowledge continues across multiple generations of technology.

Some aspects of sex are definitely regulated, at least in some places. Look at laws making sodomy illegal, or laws defining penalties for adultery. Also laws about prostitution.

A decent balance would be facilitating an interrupt/rollback of the update at any time.

If you need the car now, and it's updating, it should be trivial to halt the update and operate the car on its previous software version.

Storage is cheap nowadays, there's no reason to not have versioned copies of every operational software version across the vehicle.
>>Electric vehicules are usually better than thermal ones, but they're still a big carbon emitter

My argument here is always that even if all electricity was produced from coal power plants(it isn't) surely it's much better to have one big carbon emitter far outside of the city, than thousands of smaller carbon emitters in the middle of the city. Yes, it is just externalising the emissions, but I think it's important to improve the air quality where people actually live, no?

I guess that's the main problem.

And look, defining a problem functionally works great on 10% of the cases, but it complicates some 40% of other cases (very imprecise numbers).

Short answer: Because of the features you mentioned, You will be able to write code which is correct, self documenting, and achievable in fewer lines of code[.].

Your life won't be easier if you solve problems, because solving problems is hard. But you get a lot of benefits from using any language which has features similar to Haskell because of the above reasons. If you are into programming language research, compilers, theorem provers etc, Haskell comes with a lot of idioms, features and tools that it is a viable language for the tasks at hand.

[.] a lot of languages rightly claim it like lisps and modern lisp derivatives, but Haskell brings with it a top of the line type system, (imo) a clearer syntax and tooling than OCaml, and a decent support from the industry and the academia..
