This has been the basis of my Elon Musk-as-supervillian plot. First, Tesla Roadsters and the batteries needed to power them, then SolarCity solar panels, and finally rockets? What is his plan?

Tesla means a gigafactory’s worth of battery production, and the solar panels charge the batteries, but what are the rockets for? As discussed - a planet sized solar shade, casting the planet into darkness. Or at least into the shady side. Solar panels are mounted on the bright side of the solar shade, charging batteries on the shade. Those batteries get shuttled back to Earth on a rocket, and are replaced when the next rocket ship arrives. Musk becomes the primary provider of energy on Earth, selling energy where previously the Sun just gave the stuff away for free.

Selling energy to all the nations of Earth, just to run LEDs in order to grow plants, proves to be very lucrative, but at that point, Musk has no need for money. All that’s left is for him to use this power to open a rift to the next dimension over to get power over life and death itself, and the SOE’s agents can’t stop him. Or are they? (Last part stolen from parent poster and isn’t the book I’d write. Big fan though!)
I would put greater emphasis on not locking yourself out, since that's the most likely threat for many people. Losing your phone (or having it die on you) is common and you should assume you'll do it sooner or later. Print out backup codes and store them somewhere safe that you won't forget before enabling two-factor authentication that depends on you having your phone or other device that can break.

No, it would mirror the European experience. Essentially just capping the cost of tuition, fees and room/board and subsidizing the schools to an extent to make up the difference.

Something else. i for interactive.

Do you mean git commit -p? (Or is it git add -p? I can't check right now, and I can't even predict which one git would pick.) Anyway, yes, it's exactly that.

> An index is much easier to use.

Why? I don't miss it in hg. I use it in git, but it mostly feels like it's an extra thing to remember. Yet most git users agree with you, so I'd like to understand why.

> `git add -e` is simply amazing.

I wonder what you'd think of `hg absorb`.

I think postmodernism leads straight to linguistics, not apathy. Much of politics is based around words like “democracy”, “freedom”, “the middle class”, “big government”. There is no truth around these things because they mean whatever is politically convenient in the moment. I mean sure you can define a pretty good general purpose term for your own use, but that’s not going to be how politicians use it. These should be seen as rhetorical terms, not inherently meaningful outside of the context of, say, a speech or and ongoing public discussion. It is far easier and cheaper to redefine yourself out of commitments than it is to actually stand for concrete values. The fix is to stand for concrete values that everyone can easily identify and discuss in concrete terms. It should be easy, then, to determine the difference between “waffling” and adjusting to a new situation because everyone can adjust together around a value consensus.

Note, PR takes literally the exact opposite tact to communication. We’re barreling deep into a post-truth world with an incredible amount of money fueling this. See also: non linear warfare, hypernormalization, Edward Bernays, why to buy a newspaper when it never makes money.

> people spending the entirety of their visit to some tourist spot trying to get the perfect selfie, to the exclusion of nearly everything else.

There is a sweet spot, since I'm at the far extreme other end of the spectrum, and have my own regrets.

I don't take pictures. I just looked, and there's probably between 10 and 20 a month in my phone over the last few months, but the vast majority of those are for stuff I got or sent in an message from my wife or a family member, and a few I took to document my MPOE after new equipment was installed.

I used to just say to people that I don't really see the point of pictures to remember something. Then I got a little older and realized that I have a crap memory for events, but unfortunately my ways are mostly set, and I'm just not the kind of person that thinks to take a picture (and I'll never post it on social media, that's for sure).

The downside is that unless someone else is around to document it for me, there's not much visual evidence to remind my of past events or help me reminisce. I've missed it at times.
Maybe the old internet is still there but hidden behind the 100th search result page. I often times wish search result were ranked by how genuine the page seems to be, measured by the ratio of content over ads. Indeed, the less advertisement on a page and the more likely it is written by an actual human being with something to say.
Sadly, I suspect ranking to works exactly the opposite.

> Or the owners will fire the executives, or shareholder groups might vote for takeovers that offer greater returns.

It's worth emphasizing this point because it's a common misconception. Companies don't have a legal obligation to grow - they have a legal obligation to do what their investors want. But being publicly traded virtually gaurentees that your company is owned by people who want it grow or will be owned by people who want it to grow.

I imagine you can extract passwords out of security keys in some form without being on the correct domain, too.

There is a third option here. Instead of a blanket ban, or selective enforcement of "fact checking," we could neuter the utility of online political ads by simply requiring similar disclosures to what you see on television and by limiting the ability of advertisers to target individuals. If advertisers could only target certain demographics (e.g. 18-35, 35-50, 50+) in larger regions (multiple zip codes, or even entire states), then the ads would be essentially equivalent to TV ads, which I would assume most people just completely ignore.

Otherwise you wind up in this super nebulous area where you have to either be an arbiter of the "truth" or what qualifies as a "political" advertisement.

Also, I would be in favor of an outright ban on all advertising until X days within the election, where X is < 60 days.

I went and read _Men and Women and Marriage_. It didn't strike me as a hate piece. It's the kind of thing that I could see some version of myself writing as an angsty teenager with a Mormon upbringing that was extremely focused on gender roles.

Multiple comments on this sub-thread have gone as far as accusing the author of "hate". The parent comment stops at "this sort of trash". I don't think that the authors of these comments would use those words if they heard this piece in person from the author, in an environment where they could question its more extreme assertions. Perhaps this person has themselves been through (or had a close friend go through) a bad divorce, and is simply venting under the guise of philosophical ramblings. It's totally natural to project your personal experience on the rest of the world in this way. It's something people have to be trained not to do.

We seem to be in the habit of turning our ire all the way up as soon as somebody barely crosses some invisible threshold of harmful opinion. That habit makes us a lot less effective at communicating. If it weren't for the article title and excerpt, I would assume from some of the commentors that this person had written a piece calling for wives-as-property or genocide or something. There's just no way to tell if it's all "trash" and "hate". Isn't there such a thing as a poorly-written post with vaguely sexist undertones that _isn't_ an atrocity?
While I agree fundamentally with your premise, I would have to point out that MS Access was always software-as-a-service for developers. Ultimately, while it was accessible, the idea was to give powerful tools to developers to refine an interface/toolset for users.

SalesForce, on the other hand, seems to be more a platform-as-a-service targeted at the user with aspects such as SOQL instead feeling like a bolt-on to give developers access to the data.

So while they fill the same business case, they approach it from a completely opposite perspective.

> then paradoxical situations could be constructed--e.g. going back in time and killing yourself (the earlier you) before you entered the machine, or killing your grandfather before your father was born

Can't the paradox be resolved by considering it as a fork/branching of a new reality/timeline where the grandfather is killed, kind of similar to many world interpretation in QM. I'd speculate that using model of lazy fork it may be possible to get some ballpark estimates on energy requirements/etc. below the typical "all the energy in the Universe". Such forks/perturbations possibly also dissipate, like a small wave in the pond, and the forked reality gets naturally merged into the mainline ( i think this is how QM's many world while possibly true is still compatible with "realistic" situation of limited number, may be even just 1, Universe mainlines)

We built it ourselves.

* We have migrations written in SQL files named like 45_add_column_x_to_view_y.sql

* We track the migrations in git and we do merge requests and reviews

* We include a comment in each migration containing the original DDL of the object (1. it makes it easier for the reviewer to see what's changing, 2. it gives us a way to rollback, though it never happened so far)

* We track the applied migrations in a table migrations looking like "2019-10-30T10:49:00" ! "45_add_column_x_to_view_y.sql"

* We have a CLI in the same repo that allow us to apply the migrations. It's 50 LOC of python that basically 1. gets the DB host/user/pwd from an .env, 2. checks the last applied migration in the table migrations, 3. finds the new migrations to apply, 4. applies them following the order of the ids e.g. 45 before 46, 5. updates the table migrations

* We have 3 DBs (dev / staging / prod) in AWS RDS and I have an .env for each one of them

* We have a CI pipeline on the repo to automatically apply the merged migrations in staging and check if nothing goes wrong

* When the staging or dev is trashed, I delete it and recreate it from a snapshot of the prod (it takes 5 min) https://stackoverflow.com/a/49878477/652669

> Physics, as currently understood from available experimental evidence, 100% allows time travel to the past, paradoxes included.

General Relativity, which is where the term "closed timelike curve" is used, does not allow paradoxes. A spacetime with closed timelike curves in it (for example, the Godel universe) still has only one thing happening at each event.

The real problem conceptually with such solutions is that they appear to contradict free will: since only one thing can happen at each event, if you experience visiting that event multiple times, you cannot freely choose what to do at that event.
> And doesn’t resolve the issue of allowing students the ability to earn an income if they need to or desire to.

I don't understand what you're arguing here. This is exactly what this was meant to do, allow athletes to earn money on the side by themselves by getting endorsements, running camps, give private lessons, etc.

> you’re telling me they can’t wait a few years and simply focus on their degree and supporting their school’s program?

A decent number of them will flame out in the pros after making basically no money, even relatively high round draft picks. So no, they can't wait because their income is artificially being stunted by the NCAA and by extension the schools. College athletics is a $10 Billion industry, god forbid the athletes everyone watches on TV get a piece of the pie.
That would be Quora! But I agree, Reddit has pretty poor quality discussions, sometimes with as little depth as most Facebook comments.
> I routinely `git rebase -i origin/master`. Sometimes from detached-HEAD mode.

Which would both use `hg rebase`, so I'm not sure what you mean. Histedit is for reordering commits, or dropping some from the middle of a stack, and/or folding adjacent commits together. All in one go, if you so choose. All of which you could do with multiple rebase invocations, but histedit is an easier declarative interface to multiple rebase operations. On the flip side, it's limited to operating on linear chunks of the dag.

Regarding the time paradoxes, the second part of your comment reminded me of a very interesting (and good) 1977 Czech film called "Tomorrow I'll Wake Up and Scald Myself with Tea"[0], in which some Nazis survive WWII. They get ahold of some anti-aging pills, and after centuries, hijack a time machine back to World War II in order to give Hitler the bomb, reversing the course of the war. However, their efforts are repeatedly stymied by comical time paradoxes.

Python is too dynamic to do a source-to-source compilation that works 100% of the time. Yes, you can get 80% there or maybe even 90% there, but the last 10% is a killer. For a small program, you can stop all development, certify the program under Py3 and then go on.

Dropbox's server code base is literally millions of lines of Python 2. The "stop all development" approach simply won't work there. The only thing that works is to port the whole code base to "straddling code" that works on both interpreters, then switch interpreters. Automated tooling to prevent regressions is essential.
Oh the story behind that is a wild ride from start to finish.
