And this makes it better how? That's one of the reason a blink quasi-monopoly is not a good thing. We risk them becoming the standard to which the web must conform.

On the other hand, an independent standard organization (which, of course, the w3c isn't) would not have to follow a browser's vendor agenda. They'll ideally want to do what's right for the web.

To sum it up, I don't think having browser vendors set the standard is in the best interest of the web platform, especially when they are so unequally represented in actual usage (and we can debate about how we got ourselves in this situation).
There isn't any consensus on what aspects of our classical ontology are the right ones to get rid of. You can preserve local realism if you have superdeterminism, for instance.
One might argue that a 3km runway is harder to obtain than a single launch pad.

Also, I wonder if the traditional safety requirement of an East coast is still necessary: that's an additional constraint on location. Plus the need to be closeish to the equator won't change.
I strongly disagree with this. In fact, what this criticism boils down to is akin to whining about the younger generation. What is happening at Google is actually the opposite of your first paragraph, the employees aren't looking to Google to give them moral structure, their using their own moral code to judge whether google is behaving morally and holding Google to account for it.

The fact that the employees are speaking out and in many cases actually taking direct action that will effect their career prospects is the antithesis of

>They've got nothing to give them self confidence

People with 0 confidence aren't conducting walk-outs, they aren't whistleblowing on Google's questionable military deals. The problem Google has is exactly the opposite- they market themselves as a morally good company and so they end up with a high number of people who view that as important working for them. When they fail to live up to those actual standards, the employees protest. I think trying to ascribe the protests to a lack of courage is a very strange conclusion.

Hi Mike, I'm building Box CI (boxci.dev)

Section: devops (developers page)

It's a CI service that lets you run builds on your own hardware. Aimed at engineers who want full control of their CI builds, to make them faster, cheaper and more secure.

Apple products would be considered inexpensive compared to what NeXT charged. IIRC, a WebObjects license at the time was $50,000. There were good reasons for this, but when you hear 'NeXT was expensive' you really shouldn't be thinking Apple-level expensive... they were at another level.
The first IPCC report was released in 1990 and I don't think it left many ambiguity about the existence of a greenhouse effect and its cause.

They are preparing for their Disney+ streaming launch, so that they can sell their assets over that platform, to punish commercial screenings. Or better, to enhance their value there.
Normally it would be a stupid idea, because their Fox archive which is worth several billions is suddenly worth nothing,. It's about a fifth of the worlds films disappearing. But they are betting big on streaming, to kill Netflix. Which will not happen, it just hurts users.

I'm no expert in economics but it seems whenever the idea of capitalism without growth is mentioned, most people prefer to stick their heads in the sand. If, in my naive view, we have cyclic crises because of growth, shouldn't it be natural to focus on an alternative? Is this alternative too hard to implement?
Um, they did exactly that via HTML canvas. Replacing the main use cases for both Flash and Java applets.
From the first IPCC reports in 1990, to today, the IPCC's prognostications about the future became more and more clairvoyant. Yes, it wasn't till the early 2000s that there was enough observed multiple sources of information about man-made climate change that they could say that with 90% (later 99%) certainty, but they made clear the future risk. If you look at the early IPCC reports, they made it clear that CO2 was a greenhouse gas, but at least in the United States, the fossil fuel industry fought tooth and nail and spent huge amounts of money to fight a regulatory classification of it as such. It wasn't until 2009 that was.

More of them followed to confirm the findings. Satellites were launched, degrees issued to thousands of new scientists to confirm this. Would you have trusted Exxon in the 1980s?
> I get my best work done in the evenings, and so do lots of other people.

Have you ever tried shifting to mornings? I used to think as you and started getting up early (and going to bed earlier), and was much more productive. My focus in particular was much higher because there so much fewer distractions.

Not saying this is you, but I had an old boss who thought he did his best work at night. Except, I had to come in every morning and fix all the bugs he introduced during his late night coding sessions. Being tired made him think he was making better decisions than he was which is inline with the adage that driving tired is like driving under the influence.

Changes being "hard work" is a matter of a tool not being well adapted to the job, which is a problem with the tool, not the process. If I am playing with a floor plan, then certain changes, like moving walls and openings should be as easy to do as possible. If they aren't, it's the wrong tool for the job ... which is exactly what I mentioned in the first post - that the architects routinely use heavy-lifting ArchiCAD to do design phase sketching.

Your information on is out of date. None of the models predicted the big lag in temperature increase in the oughts but since 2015 air temperatures have jumped up to right where the consensus predictions said they would be.

Yes, scientists have been busy trying to refine their models and understanding of temperatures. But my understanding is that, quantitatively, the inaccuracies in the old temperature data was pretty small compared year to year variation. No prediction is ever perfect, even in QED you have one part in a trillion error, but instead you look at whether the result is in the error bars and whether the error bars are narrow enough to be useful.
They're evil. Nothing they do is convincing. Many people would think the reality is opposite of what Exxon claims. Do you believe Exxon now?
If you base your safety stuff off of a standard that must be met then you need to do your regulation as a sort of policing. I used to run into this sort of thing when attempting to design stuff to European standards. The North American way is to ensure safety by inspection by an agency. The European way was to leave it to the manufacturers and then penalize deviations from that standard when they came to light. So this could be seen as a move toward the European model. That seems to be the general trend these days. Which can perhaps be seen as a good thing as the various inspection agencies are being privatized.

The big difference here seems to be on the policing side. European regulators have the power to impose billion dollar fines and generate criminal charges against even executive level management. It does not sound like that is the case here. The companies will be considered innocent until proven guilty which really should be the other way around for safety related stuff.

The 5.25" disks were much more reliable than the 3.5". I had plenty of bad 3.5" after I used it a lot, but almost no bad 5.25" disk. Not sure if it was related to the areal density, rotational speed, head distance - I've seen scratched 3.5" disks quite often.

I still have a 8" disk in my desk's drawer, but I have no reader to check it. It is probably still good more than 25 years after the last time it was written (I have it since ~ 1992).

Isn't it also a bit self-fulfilling? You imagine what's next, and you steer your company in that direction in order to be ready for it. Doing so (and speaking about it, etc.) contributes heavily to it even happening. If you were wrong, and your company disappears as a result, that contributes to us not analyzing it later.
Back when I played MMOs (DAoC and WoW) I thought I was a night person. When I finally quit those games, I realized I wasn't a night person at all. I had just been forcing myself awake. Not only did I start going to be earlier, but sleep came much easier.

Recursi, a Fractal Memory Puzzle
I'm surprised they still had any trust at all. I thought it was pretty obvious - especially after dragonfly - that the company is only going through the motions of caring to pacify their employees concerns.

The moral questions that face google's rank and file are so poorly discussed in the tech sector or by society at large I'm not surprised that they only get rankled when the company does something that can be blogged about with a hot take. I guess it's good that things like "military contracts" and "former Trump staffer" can penetrate thick skulls, but they're many many years past nip-it-in-the-bud phase. They have no intention of establishing an overarching moral philosophy and have set themselves up to just rationalize questions away as come up.
The Tor Browser enables JavaScript by default -- it would be impossible to use for most web browsing otherwise. In fact there is an argument to be made that you should not disable JavaScript because it makes your fingerprint more unique to the sites you visit (you're a Tor user with JavaScript disabled). It depends on whether you value your anonymity more than the risk of potentially being attacked by bad JavaScript.

Tor Browser is based on Firefox, and has a bunch of anti-fingerprinting measures built in to it which have been slowly upstreamed to Firefox (as well as ensuring the Firefox doesn't send anything without going through Tor -- something which historically has been hard to do as a Firefox user).

The last two pages of the complaint [1] list its specific requests in "VIII. REQUEST FOR RELIEF".

This includes a request for $5,000 each violation of a consumer-protection-act, recovery of legal fees, and a request for "comprehensive injunctive relief". However, I suspect that the main thing may be an attempt to get the court to declare that there're on-going "deceptive practices" (first item in that section).

I'd guess that, if they can establish wrong-doing, then they'd have a basis for later follow-up actions.

The problem of these companies isn't size, it's their make up. Google only has an advertising business because they're dominant in search. The point of these businesses isn't to make the total size of the companies smaller, it's to increase competition. The advertising side of Google might be as big as it was before the split, but once it actually has to compete with other companies for ad space on Google's search engine there's suddenly a competitive market for advertising on search that previously there wasn't. Without the monopoly on search result ads Google's ad business suddenly won't be able to leverage that into being dominant selling adverts through their Adsense.

It's about the fact that there is an entire market that has been closed because Google has a monopolistic power to bundle.
Strongly disagree. Many Americans have understood for 50 years that the only way to stop fossil fuels use would be through government regulations. But, companies like Exxon have continually used their lobbying muscle to stop it.
I agree with you. Move start time to 10 and people will stay up until 3-4. The underlying point is people are trying to find extra time in their day to do with as they please.
Web development today is loads better than it was.

Then: if I wrote to the spec I would find the major browsers would all handle my page differently. Writing complex cross-browser pages was a constant pain involving IE-specific hacks (special CSS comments that only IE understood). The browsers were not interested in implementing the spec because it meant a ton of work for no benefit and existing pages would break, and the W3C had moved on to XHTML-only approaches.

Now: I can write to the spec and the major browsers (based on WebKit, Blink, EdgeHTML, and Gecko) will all do the same thing with my page. Spec violations are bugs, and are taken seriously by the browser vendors.

> So should Apple have kept the silicon required to support 32 bit apps in their ARM chips forever?

Yeah, I think so. One would think that Apple would have learned from DEC's mistake in this regard, but such history lessons have been lost with the age discrimination. They should not have made the decision to virtually force consumers that are busy paying rent/mortgages, car payments and putting their kids through school to update software and buy upgraded hardware that breaks apps that they, as consumers, rely upon for home appliances, automotive and online services, especially when those users have gone into debt for upwards of a thousand dollars per device. Someday there will be a transition to radically different devices (projector/visor/voice or whatever) and that would be the time to not support 32-bit. Anyway, they made the decision and there will be all kinds of consequences (with a one trillion market cap, I'm sure they can handle it but what a horrible drain on all of creation for everyone to deal with).

> How long should they keep backwards compatibility in watchOS - which is very resource constrained?

That's an esoteric cosmetic platform with almost no relevant third-party apps (just second screen notifications) yet, so no need to worry about compatibility.

> Going back further - should they never have dropped 68K support? PPC support from MacOS?

Of course they should never have dropped support for 68K or PPC, even if it just meant shipping a System 7/macOS 9.04 in an emulator in every new Mac sold, forever. If they wanted to release a computer not called Mac, then that's another story but they clearly wanted to kill off the embarrassment Jobs created back when he was still learning what happens when you consider formal-training/experience to be a handicap.

> Even Microsoft dropped

Windows' success had almost nothing to do with such technical decisions so it's not real relevant though the compatibility between releases of Windows and Office was remarkable because Microsoft did learn from the lessons of DEC (because it actually had hired much of DEC's team heh).
> The models used today have all predicted more warming than actually happened

Source? Although all of this depends on what you mean by "more", as in what you assume the error bars on the models are.

> temperature data for the past itself has been continuously adjusted

Source?

> Also note it's impossible for models in the 80's to have been accurate

It's not actually. Models don't depend on the temperature. The models could have been (and in fact, were) accurate despite the alleged wrong inputs.

> Either the old models are wrong or the old temperature records are wrong, but they can't both be true simultaneously.

It doesn't really matter in the context of the legal argument about what Exxon thought to be true in 1982.
A good game to practice on a rainy Sunday :)
> but to call it gender biased is ridiculous

Unlikely.

> women and minorities are just as capable of playing board games

Quite beside the point. Even leaving aside the implicit claims here that

(1) the board-game filter measures capability of playing board games rather than fluency with the social scripts involved in board-game playing, and

(2) that it does so without introducing any behavioral artifacts such that this measure would be a reliable predictor of on-the-job behavior,

the question is: What are the outcomes generated by the board-game filter? (reeeee equality of outcome)

If an assessment produces an adverse impact on groups already underrepresented in tech, at a minimum it ought to generate scrutiny.

In the case of leetcode-type hiring filters, I can suspend judgment or reach some kind of nuanced position.

In the case of using Settlers of Catan as a hiring filter, all I can do is chuckle.

That said, heterogeneity in hiring practices is a good thing. Presumably in the long run people sort themselves out and some kind of equilibrium is reached.

I look forward to experimenting with feats of strength and athletic prowess as a hiring filter in order to gauge tenacity, equanimity in the face of adversity, and general team-spiritedness.

Burying AC power lines causes them to incur higher losses than aerial, as the alternating current interacts with the surrounding earth. This generates heat in the insulation and eventually the insulation will fail. Our neighborhood recently had the lines dug up and replace due to this - they were 35 years old. The aerial lines to the neighborhood are much older and have never been replaced.

To get around this, you can go HVDC, but that really only makes sense when you have a long distance line. Pretty pricey.

Varmints like gophers will dig down, encounter a power line, and then attempt to dig through it. Those are fun to repair.

Also, varmints with backhoes have been known to take them out.

You would have to be more careful with that statement. It is a bit of a misnomer that quantum mechanics is inherently discrete and classical is not. There are plenty of examples of continuous descriptions in quantum mechanics (e.g. an oscillator in the coherent state basis, which is an extremely commonly used model). And plenty of examples of discrete behavior in classical mechanics (modes of oscillation, standing waves, etc).

In the case of light, most of the "discreteness" of the quantum description is already present in the classical case. More importantly, there is plenty of the continuous description left in the quantum model.
People have figured out carbon capture; people haven't figured out economical carbon capture at scale yet (except for reforestation, which only partially helps), and it feels like we're a long way off. If you want to incentivize the creation of CCS while still penalizing the externality (cost to society of a carbon intensive economy), you'd probably want to ratchet up something like a carbon tax, and then give a rebate for performing something like carbon capture. That might create the economies of scale needed.
