I have to carry around a helmet- yes I find this burdensome. Real estate is hard to come by in NYC- and my commute requires a partial subway commute. When I rode a motorcycle to my job and had a cube I was annoyed by the MC helmet, but felt the risk tradeoff was worth it and could at least tuck it away. Now I am subject to the hideous open office trend, it would be a PITA. Its not the weight, its the volume, and the fact that I would have to redo my hair once I went anywhere, all to prevent an event that seems about as likely to me as winning the jackpot on a scratch off ticket. Seatbelts don't bother me at all, they are built in to the car.

Still my point about a drinking helmet stands- drinking is a dangerous activity- 60% of all hospital admissions for head injuries involve alcohol. Clearly we could reduce the severity and incidence of these injuries with helmets. It would be interesting to see how many "drinking years" it would take on average to get a head injury worthy of a hospital admission.

Driving is dangerous too- and in virtually any accident it seems likely your head is going to come into contact with something- even if it is an airbag, and the mv^2 is much higher- we could reduce the severity and incidence of head injuries if everyone wore a helmet, especially an NFL style helmet with a faceguard...

And you accept that wearing gloves is ok, but you don't wear a jacket- so you know you may fall, and possibly scrape along the ground a bit, but you don't wear a jacket that most motorcyclists consider to be basic standard gear.

Do you understand where I am going here? You assess risk a certain way and make tradeoffs in what you are willing to do to protect yourself, as do I. However, what your risk assessment has determined wearing a helmet as necessary and foolish not to, I see as just another unnecessary burden, choosing instead to wear armored gloves in winter, and accepting other risks. You may feel not wearing a helmet is something a fool does, but my years of riding have given me intuition (in other words, my developed common sense) that the head is highly unlikely to be injured, and statistics back me up on this.

If I did a lot of high speed road cycling, it would probably change things, but my rides around town where I top out cruising around 15mph and if I go down a hill hit 30 for a brief minute or two, its just not necessary or reasonably useful.

So wear your helmet, but I feel denigrating those that don't because your "common sense" tells you its necessary is misguided and somewhat ignorant.
Their point is that thats not 'legalization' on the sell side though.

So if thats it we have no real data on how that would work.

Perhaps the same reason toasters aren't.
It is very likely that one will have two hands on the toaster when one is shocked. You have two choices: ground it, in which case the current races up one arm, through the torso, and down the other arm (frying your heart in the process). Or, keep it ungrounded and let the current race down your leg to the floor (sparing your torso and hopefully taking advantage of the fact that your shoes will provide a little more insulation that your two bare hands on metal in the first scenario.)

The world population is "only" 7 billion so also doubt there's "literally billions" of Android phones out there once you discount iPhone users, non-smart phone users (eg many elderly), young kids, and people too poor to own a phone (homeless, people in developing countries, etc).

You might get more favourable figures if you also count old and unused Android handsets but then you'd have to do the same for Linux servers as well -- and Linux servers have been around a lot longer than Android phones have.

AWS alone had 1.3 million active servers in 2016 alone - most of which would have ran Linux. AWS has grown massively since then (averaging at around 40% year on year) so that figure has certainly raised significantly since then. Plus AWS might be the largest player in town but it's not the only one, so you'd have to include GCP, Azure, Oracle, OVH, Digital Ocean, etc. Not to mention all the literally thousands of other hosting providers out there. Then you have on-prem gear in schools, offices, shops, home labs, etc....and we've no way of estimating all the deprecated instances over the last 2 decades (longer to be frank, but lets round down for simplicities sake).

Where as Android is 11 years old and took a little while to gain momentum...?

Even if you only talk about tech in active use, people only need 1 phone (or maybe 2 if you have a separate work and personal phone). That one phone isn't automatically an Android and, as mentioned in my opening paragraph, a great many people don't even have phones to begin with. But lets just focus on those who do...each of those people will interact with more than one service. You'd interact with point of sale systems which would need a server backend. You'd interact either hundreds of online endpoints a day just browsing the web; and many of those endpoints would have a multitude of servers backing them. Not to mention online endpoints for games, mobile apps, etc. People's daily lives revolve around 1 or 2 phones but require so many more servers for all of that connectivity to work.

So I just don't see how Linux phones outnumber Linux servers by an order of magnitude. I think your estimations there are way off.

Also, being someone who "works for a server manufacturer" doesn't give your opinion here any more credibility. More than 90% of the people on here (myself included) could make similar arguments for authority. In fact I'd be more surprised if I was chatting someone who hadn't any professional experience in either servers nor mobile phones.
We're only really just beginning to use the full power of the browser... JS frameworks were often too fragile to scale up in size. Much like Vue's changes in v3, these frameworks are now solving these growing pains that come with truely large frontends. ...stuff that goes far beyond just the odd select2 widgets and autocomplete to be a core part of the whole app.
People like advertisements and used to read whole magazines made of them, but web advertising is a hated, privacy-violating, battery-draining, performance-crushing, pop-up and autoplay-infested, malware-tainted monstrosity. Advertisements used to engage and attract magazine readers, but web advertising detracts from web sites so much that ad blockers are immensely popular if not essential for a pleasant browsing experience.

I think that means we're doing it wrong, but nobody wants to admit it.
Good question.

Are we talking about sex workers globally or in countries where it is legalized and centralized?

I'm comparing specifically to places like Hong Kong and Amsterdam that have this work legalized, which is the topic at hand. OP wants the red light district either moved or removed.

Prostitution is going to exist in some form. I think we agree there, so do you think moving it outside of the city center is going to improve the situation for these women? I feel like it would do the opposite.
Hi Dan! Thanks for the great work. I wanted to discuss a few use-cases where React's new runtime model makes things less predictable:

* Suppose you want a :hover CSS selector to be applied at the same instant as a state change triggered by that hover. It's no longer reliable. Hence you're stuck with having to change the DOM in response to the state change to match a different selector.

* The browser may often set component state via its own behavior. (Small contrived ex: setting the scrollTop position of an inner element based on tabbing to a link.) Pretending that virtual DOM represents DOM, especially at X time, can get you in a lot of trouble.

How would you deal with these contrived (yet realistic) examples?

It sound like two entirely different product lines, and just by hearing the names I know they would have problems playing together nicely.
This seems a very appropriate observations, but the way it applies here is that it implies that feedback needs to be significantly contextualized with how users use your product. A criticism of telemetry would be that there is no reason to believe that you will know more about the meaning of the numbers you are collecting than about the user experience through feedback.

A typical story relevant here is that of a news site boasting about a rise in daily reads, where they define a read with being on a page for 3 seconds... that is clearly a meaningless number that maybe just means users are skimming through all your articles in hope that not all you have is terrible (could happen if you had some good content or a loyal audience)

In the Bitcoin project we found and reported several bugs in OpenSSL based on similar harsnesses that compared our code with similar functions in OpenSSL (where they exist).

It's a pretty powerful technique at least in problem domains where fully specified behavior is a realistic expectation.

Mutation testing-- where you break the code and confirm that your tests fail-- is also pretty powerful in those same domains.

Wishful thinking. The most important component is genetic ability, which must be enabled by an environment allowing you to put in the required effort (i.e. developed or developing country, food and housing, minimal education). Interest and discipline is a tertiary concern.

It's way easier to be interested in something if you have natural aptitude.

Here's an unexpected gem, from John Francis Davis: “The Chinese: A General Description of the Empire of China and Its Inhabitants” (1836):

The Chinese have lived so much in peace, that they have acquired by habit and education a more than common horror of political disorder. “Better be a dog in peace than a man in anarchy,” is a common maxim. “It is a general rule,” they say, “that the worst of men are fondest of change and commotion, hoping that they may thereby benefit themselves; but by adherence to a steady, quiet system, affairs proceed without confusion, and bad men have nothing to gain.”

Kind of says something about our beloved "disruption."

EDIT: Awww, boo hoo!
The point is that lax enforcement doesn't matter to lawyers when questioning the legal basis for something. If you are going to start encouraging every lawyer to start contemplating adding passwords to wills and trusts, they start to ask a lot of questions if that is something that can even legally be put in a will or entrusted to an estate.

We don't have good legal protections for that at all. Consider that some Terms of Service agreements, sharing a password at all, no matter the reason, is itself a breach of Terms of Service. That most services may not enforce such ToS clauses today doesn't imply that they won't start enforcing them tomorrow.

(Multi-factor is another land mine mess in digital asset rights. We barely understand how biometric locks should affect things like privacy laws, let alone has anyone really started talking about how you deal with a dead relative's thumbprint or "face ID" in their absence. Passwords are at least physically transferable, a lot of MFA, especially biometrics, is not.)

I wonder if by moving to digital communications we won't paradoxically be leaving a black hole for future historians when it comes to such records.

I.e. now what would previously have been letters from the front might be sent as a text, phone call or E-Mail. Dead people don't pay for advertising revenue, so that data's likely being deleted soon after they're gone, or when their phone dies.

Yes some of these services allow salvaging the data of relatives, but most people aren't going to be paying whatever's the future Google extra money monthly to preserve grandma's multi-gigabyte E-Mail account. What would previously be letters from the front stored in a box somewhere will be stored alongside swaths of commercial E-Mail and spam.

This is what I don't get with regards to calorie labels.

As far as I can tell they either burn stuff to see how much energy gets released or count up macro nutrients and multiply by x calories.

But if you pay attention it should be obvious that you don't digest all foods equally well and I would say the variance can be on the order of 20-30%. Do they account for this when labeling food ?

I don't agree. The problem of least 'harm' will come up continually. Moralistic decisions must be made by the car. And even if those incidents do not occur, the software will have to be programmed for these types of decisions.
Travel through any US city not named "New York" or "Washington", pick up a newspaper, and ask yourself the same question.

The claim that the average person in the US is better served by reading a newspaper than by even modestly earnest online news reporting simply is not true, though the floor is likely higher for print.

I've spent a few weeks in several of the country's largest metro areas. The leading newspaper is invariably aememic, has frequently long been a punch line among late-night comedians, has outsourced virtually all its news (and editorial) coverage, frequently runs agency filings as front-page and major news briefings. The front page itself rarely carries actual news, being instead dominated by sport, weather, culture, and occasional leads to large stories. Business reporting is all but nonexistent (though the degree to which this reflects reality is an open question). The most rigorously investigated reporting is in the obituary section.

What's clear is that the newspapers have lost any concept of what useful purpose they might serve.

The name of the city doesn't matter -- you could pick virtually any in the country and see the same situation.
As others have pointed out, that doesn't quite work because you have not specified that you know where the prize is and make sure to not open that door when opening your 999 998 doors.

You can sidestep this by playing a slightly different but equivalent game.

The player chooses a door. The host then gives the player the choice of sticking with that door, or instead taking all of the other doors.

This is gimmicky. Everyone knows they can be the best in the world at some random and obscure task nobody cares about. This sort of thing is a complete waste of your time. Better to focus on improving at one or the other.
Thanks for expanding on your initial thoughts and for relating those expansions to my response. (First rate engagement. A+++ would read again.)

I agree engagement and relational context are orthogonal, and I think your elaboration captures very clearly what I mean by using

> judgement to know when looking up a piece of information is germane to the interpersonal context or whether doing so is incidental

Professor Y clearly cares and that care is expressed by looking up information. My main point to your first comment was that sometimes the nature of a relationship and a meeting will make most citations of fact irrelevant. For sure, sometimes meetings between close relations will benefit from citations of fact.

Reading above, I don't think we're in disagreement, though we may be focusing more tightly on different scenarios.

Thanks for engaging!

He was the #2 in the FBI Counterintelligence Division, which isn't exactly second in command of the entire bureau.

Also, the article you linked said that the texts "may show potential attempts by the FBI to conduct surveillance of President-elect Trump's transition team". And that is according to one senator from Iowa. That's a big difference from what you're saying actually happened.

"humanity" covers a lot of ground. It would be interesting to decompose that term and expand our understanding of "extinction" to encompass what we might now call genocide or population replacement.

I think this is in the spirit of Feynman's lectures inasmuch as it's not going to bring you to expert-level understanding, but it is going to do a good job giving you some intuitive understanding, which you might then be able to apply to re-studying the material in more detail.

And Gandhi did not say "Be the change you want to see in the world."

Instead, he apparently said:

“We but mirror the world. All the tendencies present in the outer world are to be found in the world of our body. If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. This is the divine mystery supreme. A wonderful thing it is and the source of our happiness. We need not wait to see what others do.” – Mahatma Gandhi

But did he say it in English? I don't know.
