A: Anyone, minimal, not at all.

Motor carrier regulation and safety is a really complex topic with overlapping regulatory domains, which are exploited by irresponsible operators. The US Motor Carrier Safety administration actually has a lot of public information available on carriers.

The safest assumption is that a known, legit bus, truck, van, etc is pretty safe.

Anything that is long term rental, surplus/debrandded, shady looking or too cheap is a dangerous shitshow. Stretch limos are usually dangerous. Unlicensed or not appropriately licensed drivers are a big issue too.
I can't believe it! I wanted this for me and my software development team for so long! These are the mind maps Tony Buzan talked about in theory but this is a really practical way to apply them. Thanks.
> I can see how they would not explicitly ban participants from including it in art. New rules can take a while to be formed and it is only if there is a real need.

Banning it in art would also make art that is explicitly about facial recongnition pretty much impossible.
Thats almost better...
Whats the incentive for government to get food, water, energy, education and shelter right?

If we're missing any one of the five, we have insecurity and chaos usually ensues.

That environment appears to be the soup du jour that allows lobbyist and others to do their bidding and force/sneak in their agendas.

I think it was mentioned, but cycling thru calamity (the business cycle) with F,W,E,E and S until they hit their metrics is becoming a predictable sh!t show.
I don't know how this code base does it, but I've seen another random dungeon generator that did a first pass generating symmetrical features and a second pass adding asymmetries to get a symmetrical-but-not-too-symmetrical look.
I'm sure a lot of PHP 7.0 installations are still in production and will not receive a patch...

This is ultimately what goes in the d term in the next paragraph, yes. I agree that in hindsight people getting tripped up in the initial model before the criticisms elaborated on it were ignoring something that is obvious to everyone who isn't a game theory dweeb. My point in introducing the paradox was to introduce the solution to my comment's parent.
You’re dismissing the possibility that the first-generation immigrants who listen to these radio stations were admitted legally.
Breaking up documents into arbitrary (but specified) fixed size increments is a useful way to refer to parts of a large document. Sure, it'd be better if everything was hyperlinked with semantic anchors, but until the trends identified in the article are reversed, that's not going to happen. Pagination is a good fallback option that everyone understands intuitively.
> rich people were excluded from the political process entirely.

That's incorrect. If anything, there were modest property qualifications for some offices (according to Aristotle). The most influential people in Athenian politics tended to be wealthy.
SQL is already a pretty functional language. It's a nice low statefulness, transactional layer around a very stateful core of data. Fully exploiting this gives you many benefits. This is the reason noSQL databases tend to be subpar.

Also, huge are the performance benefits of not always pulling data across multiple layers of cache, across the network, back into multiple layers of cash of another computer to be processed by some script running far away from the original data. Processing and aggregating as much as you can as you are retrieving the data is often multiple orders of magnitude faster and more efficient than sending everything elsewhere to be processed.
Currently, on my 2nd read of the book and I interpret this as a struggle to find purpose. Recognizing who asked is like asking yourself "Who am I?" which leads to purpose and with purpose comes endurance. This may be superficial as I gain more insight the more I read it.
Probably something to do with making a living off the fruits of your genuis/labor?
They could tax them, sure. The customers would ultimately bear the cost of those taxes, but that might lead to a self-correction and cause them to order fewer deliveries, perhaps by bundling their orders together into larger deliveries.
Yup. And it leads to an interesting issue. The angular momentum of the rotating barrel causes weird handling issues for the truck driver. If they try to take a turn too quickly, the truck will tip over due to the gyroscope effect.
I live in Manhattan, so I at least don't have anything close to the space required for this (not would my adjacent neighbors appreciate the sound setup). I expect this is true of most tech workers on here who've been drawn to cities like SF or NYC by top salaries.

Fortunately there is a theater near me in the East Village that sometimes shows older stuff, and I saw 2001 in 70mm there and it was awesome.
The One Where Apple Tried to Buy Its Way into Hollywood
Known terrorists shouldn’t be free in the first place, least of all in an Western country. And if they are free I suppose that are actively on the run (hence the “known” part) so I don’t think they’re in the mood for a concert or a Ligue 1 match. As such whenever the powers that be use the terrorists line for stuff like this I call them bullshitters, because that’s what they are.
Deliver using bikes?

Or if it's large, send someone out on a bike, wait for a parking spot, bring in the truck.

Reserve spaces for delivery trucks, set up a system so they don't arrive at the same time.

These are all options that the city can encourage/legislate/enforce.
Well based on media discussion of a current major UK story - that 39 immigrants died in a refrigerated lorry, it's spawned a lot of stories into illegal immigration and why 39 people were trying to get to the UK. Police are currently investigating the lorry having been one of a convoy of three - so potentially around 100. One of the reports, that I can't find again, I think someone at Rotterdam port discussing that some unbelievably low percentage of trucks are checked properly in the major EU ports, and few even have capability to check for presence of people. Just a check that seals are intact, papers are right, and a camera to see passing vehicles.

So it's probable that many Europeans could have encountered illegal immigrants without realising.

The common point is there a selection of low pay service jobs that attract illegal immigrants, who then become trapped. Some by debt and threats to family, and other more direct slavery. Anti-trafficking and similar groups have been warning of issues for years, and mostly ignored.

It remains a truth that the vast majority of immigration in Europe is legal, but there is a significant level of illegal migration. Thanks to the free movement of peoples within the EU, it is far harder to detect than before those border checks were pulled down.

Here is just one of a selection of pieces that have come up this week across all the press:

If I were a famous artist I’d definitely be signing my works with a public key!
I think I'd understand the concern if a regulatory body within Massachusetts were directly penalizing Exxon without judicial oversight. But since they're taking Exxon to court for the legal system to determine if the case is valid, isn't this just what the rule-of-law looks like?
Every once in a while I encounter somebody who heavily promotes that way of working. There are a couple of arguments I've heard in favor of it. Often it's a mix of performance, ultimate data integrity, and "simplicity". I just don't buy it.

If performance is so critical, whatever you gain by moving everything to the database is lost by the fact that databases are harder to scale. You may be able to get by with a single instance a little longer, but when eventually you don't anymore, you've now worked yourself in a corner. It's an 80/20 game anyway, so just use an occasional stored procedure when it's really worth it.

For data integrity, I've always found databases not expressive enough. Sanity checks, okay, but you can't capture a non-trivial domain in some custom data types, check constraints and foreign keys. Even if you introduce stored procedures that will be responsible for keeping everything proper, you need to go crazy with permissions to block circumventing those. Might as well build your own API then. (I do find it difficult where to draw the line when it comes to what to enforce in the database still.)

"But you don't need another API! Just use the database as one!" Then I ask how they do testing, and the answer basically is: "We don't make mistakes or we find out about them (in production) soon enough." That pretty much ends the discussion for me. Surely there must be ways to devise a basic testing framework for stored procedures, but why bother? I don't want to spin up a database just to test some logic. Never mind testing, what about refactoring?

From a theoretical point of view, I can see the potential, but practically...? The tooling isn't there, and perhaps that's for a reason. Maybe databases are just not supposed to be used that way. Despite the extra functionality they offer, I treat them mostly as a data store.

What am I missing? I would love to be proven wrong.

Exxon may be prepared to settle the suit in return for not engaging in this kind of behaviour in the future, possibly with court oversight.
How is that not how databases are typically used?
We would love to hear your feedback ;)

It's scapegoating, grandstanding and extortion - that's all it is. And you're abrogating your responsibility for your part in this when you use hundreds of petroleum-based products in your day-to-day life.

The oil companies had nothing to do with climate change action or inaction. They are providing a critical product that we can't do without even today, and we certainly could not do without when science started to come up with non-speculative evidence of human-caused climate change. US economy grounded to halt when Arab nations instituted oil embargo - with the outcome pushing Western governments to push oil companies to look for alternatives oil sources for national security reasons. You want to blame Exxon for that? As recent as this year, France experienced violent riots when gas prices rose. That's how important oil was and continues to be to the global economy. There was no need for Exxon to lie about anything.

>but it would have made alternatives more economically viable sooner.

LIKE WHAT? We have been looking for alternatives for decades. Chemistry and thermodynamics are a hard mistress. We have nothing, even today, with the energy density and portability of petroleum.

So I have no idea what you're talking about when you're creating a hypothetical world with your alternatives to oil or mitigations like 'carbon sinks' (which will never work) or whatever other mythical solution you come up with. There was no alternative to oil. There are no alternatives to oil today for the tens of thousands of products that require petroleum for manufacture. There is no alternative to oil today for global trade (airplanes, cargo ships, trucking).

By far (and it isn't even close) the biggest climate-change disaster was Western abandonment of nuclear energy in the 70s due to the FUD put out by environmental groups.

By the way, I don't see wind and solar companies proclaiming what a disaster those technologies are to the environment (from requirement of rare earth materials, to land-use and environment destruction after deployment, to lack of recyclability). Do you want to sue them to too?
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, extremist leader of Islamic State, dies at 48
Because of the tax dollars (or euros or whatever) which the residents pay and the immigrants don't? Ok so you are saying the right to be anywhere should be given to anyone. Is the right to spend my tax money (which was used up to build infrastructure, institutions, healthcare, etc. etc.) also something that should be given to anyone else in the entire world? How can you possibly think this is just? That every random person should be able to use publicly paid infrastructure that they haven't paid for?
Is it just me or is everyone hitting a 502 (Bad Gateway) error?
> How long would it take to build out nuclear "with no sacrifice necessary"?

Less time than it will take to finish this lawsuit.

In the 1970s, Sweden built reactors in 5-7 years. In current decade, China has built reactors in 5-7 years.

There are explicit legal provisions for "puffery" to cover the Samsung case as being just marketing fluff and not a claim of objective truth. But if you won a contract based on tricking your customer i to thinking your software was easier to use than the competition when it wasn't, yes, I personally would worry about the FTC.

More generally, preventing deceptive trade practices without preventing ordinary marketing is a well-established and well-explored field, it's not like Massachusetts invented it for this case. (And if anything threatens the rule of law, it's saying, "I don't know what the relevant statutes and regulations and caselaw is in this field so I think we shouldn't enforce laws in this field at all.")
Not really, last serious revision was in 2008, or so.

Exactly, there is talk of it having significant impact even if it never flies a mile.
According to the article, much of the negative impact is being felt in poorer neighborhoods where the trucks concentrate around the storage facilities.

They will receive a patch if they're using it on a Linux distro that is still supported (e.g. Ubuntu 16.04 LTS). How many people actually bother to run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade on their cloud servers or docker images is a different question, though.
Is there the source code of this available somewhere?
>Why are people trying to classify certain matrices as illegal?

Certain encryption algorithms, which are at their core applied math, are still illegal to export to this day to certain countries such as Iran. They are regulated and banned under the same treaties that apply to nuclear weapons.

If you publish an app to Apple's App Store, for example, you have to sign a waiver explaining if your app uses encryption (such as for SSL/TLS) before being allowed to publish in international markets.

Not saying it is right, but there is definitely legal precedent to ban mathematical knowledge at the international level.

Saying that people should go to prison because they happen to illegally be in a country that’s not theirs is in the same realm of bad things as what the mainland Chinese are trying to do now in HK.
Terrorists attend these events to, you know, commit acts of terrorism, not enjoy the music.
Imagine yourself in their shoes. You have been trying to bring to attention the adverse effects of fossil fuels to the planet. And you are doing this using scientific methods and getting them peer reviewed. And you have built models that, in hindsight, are as accurate as possible.

And what reception you get for this? A large apparatus is deployed to label your work as pseudo-science. Your credibility is questioned.

In that light, those 4 words, "We are excellent scientists!" is profound. It contains within it the struggle, suffering, pain, integrity and pride of the experience they have gone through for many decades.

This reminded me of Clair Cameron Patterson [0] and his struggle to bring to light the effect of lead in gasoline. Cosmos' "The Clean Room" [1] is an accessible view on this subject.

Own your data on the web – the 3 startups that are working on this
This weekend I read in the WSJ that three startups are working on ways to empower consumers to own their data on the web. I found this pretty remarkable and decided to share it here.
1. Inrupt: developing a protocol called Solid that is founded on POD (personal online data). Your photos and other information can be shared and seen on a site of your choice, but will not be stored on that site's servers.
2. Blockstack: working with blockchain, this startup is developing an overarching platform that would exist only as software on users' devices, and information produced by users would only remain on their devices.
3. Elixxir: disassembling all the data underneath your data, such as a text message, so that only your message is communicated, not all the personal information that comes along with it. The aim of this technology is to prevent data-collection by big web companies.

FYI: this is the link to the WSJ article: https://www.wsj.com/articles/tech-giants-have-hijacked-the-web-its-time-for-a-reboot-11572062420?mod=searchresults&page=1&pos=1
Sure, I’ll give that it’s a very hard problem to enforce (not impossible, but very hard with virtually all current language implementations). That doesn’t negate the benefits of having a social contract (what semantic versioning is) that says you strive to do the right thing, even if you sometimes fail.
Wouldn't we have starvation of the majority of the world's population without oil? I was under the impression that our industrial scale farming needed lots of energy and fuel.
The people mentioning deportation probably believe that the rules determining who is or is not allowed in a country are unfair and should be circumvented in at least some cases.

You might disagree, but perhaps you can think of some other law that you wouldn't want festivals to assist in enforcing. If you can't, do you trust that the government will never pass such a law? If not, you might not want to normalize having facial recognition tech everywhere.
It's implausible that if Exxon published its research, customers would have filled up at Chevron instead, yes.

It is totally plausible that the global oil / fossil fuel market would have not been as big as it is now, that efforts (from government or from private entities) to find less-polluting alternatives would have been more popular, etc.
I wonder what Intel's response to this will be. I haven't heard any news about them getting in the 3nm game within the next 2 years.
Ohh, I actually believed Vint Cerf had played The Archited on The Matrix... It was actually Helmut Bakaitis.
> Should cigarette companies have been punished for knowing their products kill and then misleading the public?

I think the answer to that seems like "yes", do you have a different opinion?
it has now been made clear that the phone will have to use proprietary firmware blobs for a variety of onboard devices.

They worked with the FSF to make it certified. To my understanding, it's basically an impossible tasking to write open source firmware, not if you want to throw additional million of dollars(this is just a guess).

The compromise is that you basically cannot update those binary blobs.
Interesting, this is also my experience. I would add that in addition to marketing teams what also worked for us is selling directly to innovation/digital teams, or even core business ones, because like you said young folks are used to buy SaaS online. The key is bypassing IT, because as soon as it goes through them you are in for that big sale process greatly described by the GP post.

Thanks! And good to hear, I wish more people started to blog (again).
I wouldn’t say “easily” avoided. You can’t ignore the billions of web pages that would have already existed in a format that was non-compliant with XML at the time. With so much “prior art”, there is simply no way that any browser will ever be able to throw out its fuzzy/imprecise parser, which means that support for well-formed XML requires them to maintain two readers: precise and imprecise.

As far as XML “tools”, I am shocked at how even now I encounter real XML parsers that don’t necessarily reject malformed data files but do atrocious things with them (like silently pretend that certain tags were not even in the file). Thus, I end up using extra steps like a linter as a front-end sanity check. And while this example is a pure-data application, a linter is also a sensible front-end sanity check for HTML. XML isn’t going to win over HTML if it requires the same steps to clean up imperfections in the process.
My recommendations are not exactly what you ask but what I suspect you'll enjoy if you're asking this.

(1) "Understanding Computation" by Tom Stuart.
Not "fundamental" as a deep textbook, but very approachable for programmers intro into a big chunk of CS, explaining deep ideas about languages using rigorous working clean code (in Ruby, no prior knowledge needed).
I especially loved the first few chapters about what it means to define a programming languange and various kinds of formal semantics.

(2) Designing Data-Intensive Applications, Martin Kleppmann. This gives you a phenomenally good survey of concepts and practice of distributed systems. This is more software engineering than pure CS, but in my view you can't approach the field of distributed systems without blending both anyway.

(3) POODR — Practical Object-Oriented Design, in Ruby, by Sandi Metz. This is 100% software engineering, where there is no single definition of "foundational", but many people who read this swear by it. It's remarkably thin but lucid distillation of ideas that were "in the air" but Sandi nailed them down. An important thesis is that good code is not an aesthetic judgement of how it _now_ looks, but objective question how easy it will be to _change in the future_. Not Ruby-specific at all, but it teaches the original Smalltalk "message-passing" view of OOP, that for people that only learnt statically-typed Java, C++ etc view of OOP is a fundamental idea they're missing on.

Finally, not a book, but "the morning paper" https://blog.acolyer.org/ is excellent "return on your time" if you want to sample academic papers, both classic foundational ones, as well as cutting edge.
I'm sure someone will try to spin this positively for drone delivery: "See? We can't let those poor people suffer. We must think out of the box. I know: let's use unmanned aerial delivery. By the way, did you know my company happens to be in this business?"
That is good context but it's not quite satisfying. It would be better if exxon was honest about the science and didnt try to obfuscate it with a coordinated campaign.
