> Building more capacity usually induces demand

Viewed from a different perspective: we have so little capacity that most journeys are never taken.

I agree that in general mass transit is much better than cars. But tunnels do remove many of the arguments against cars: pollution (both CO2 and tire abrasion) can be easily filtered, noise is blocked by solid rock, tunnels can be crossed without knowing they are there, they don't interfere with pedestrians, don't reduce building density, don't create artificial barriers. Cars are still incredibly dangerous, but Elon's sledges would solve even that. Cars still take up a lot or room both in transit and when parked, but most other disadvantages are reduced or eliminated by putting them in tunnels.
> just as Byzantine (i.e. E. Roman Empire) finally fell to the Ottomans

The Fall of Constantinople was in 1453, the Empire of Trebizond fell in 1461, and the Principality of Theodoro in 1475, which marked the final end of any state claiming to have been the "true" successor to the Byzantine Empire after its defeat in 1204 in the Fourth Crusade. All of these dates markedly predates Columbus's contact voyage in 1492.
Despite all the points the author tries to make, he forgets to mention the most important one: license proliferation is not a positive thing for people who care about software freedom. He's responsible for proliferating, and I hope it stops. Lack of innovation in licensing isn't the problem. Corporate greed is.
> I also this is a good time to remember that not every citizen has to have the same values on this

It's also important to remember that not every nation will have the same set of values on this and that as the world becomes more international you're relationship with other world governments becomes more M * N.

Imagine a world without encryption where the Saudi government had our access logs and decided to share what porn we were looking up. Or for something closer to the real world, imagine the CCP leveraging their influence to cut off services to anyone sharing Winnie the Pooh pictures.
> Freeloaders exist only because they are being subsidized by those who actually pay

Freeloaders exist because someone wanted to give something for free.

If someone put something online to be viewed freely and then expects some kind of return on it is hypocritical in my opinion. Just trying to make freeloaders look bad for their own lack of action to put it behind a paywall.

> China has a similar geography to the US, and similar sizes and run lengths of their high speed space.

China has extreme restrictions on domestic flights, and a great deal more population; and on top of that, so much is different about the way things are done in China, the state will just bulldoze things for looking too "towny".

> What? You mean, except for literally every other developed country has well developed rail lines that transport billions of people

Britain is a developed country with well developed rail lines, but probably few there would tell you that it's great right now. Some of the failure there can be attributed to their poorly-designed pseudo-privatization of the trains and crews themselves (but not the rails or facilities, which remain national), but a big part of the reason that was politically viable was that the rail services weren't all that great when they were national either. France's TGV is really cool, when the operators aren't on strike.

Up here in Ontario, we have one relatively useful rail corridor, but the further you get from Toronto, the less the passenger load. On my morning train from Hamilton, there are (charitably) a couple dozen passengers on the whole train for several stations. As for national rail in Canada, it is rare to hear that anyone has used Via. I've used it once in my life, but I found out later that a bus on the same route would have been faster and dramatically cheaper.

Long-haul rail networks are attractive to politicians because of what they represent, but to transport consumers, the reality of long haul passenger rail is that it is rarely the best option. When passengers bear the cost, long-haul passenger rail is, by natural means, rarely the best option in the U.S.

> with levels of unmatched efficiency?

"unmatched" by what? High speed rail is extremely capital intensive, and expensive at the point of sale, and that's when you don't have any trouble clearing land for it. In the U.S, most of the viable places for passenger rail already have rail lines, but they are not appropriate for high speed rail. Conventional passenger rail is too slow to attract fares, and is still very expensive.

Dude it's alright to like trains, trains are cool; but none of what you said justifies the subsidies that would be required in order to make a comprehensive U.S. long-haul passenger rail network that's worth using, and no policy would make it worth the cost.

If you have some brilliant business practice, policy, or idea that will change this, I implore you to develop it! :- )

The boiling point of limestone is around 825°C or 1515°F. Heating up a tube of multiple meters diameter and multiple kilometer length to that temperature would require insane amounts of energy. A laser makes it possible to efficiently heat a small spot to that temperature which helps reduce waste heat, but you still have to heat every spot at some point.

Yep. Paypal messed up a lot of businesses without giving any reason or recourse. This is what (some) banks do.
So, those 1000 people have to:

- somehow find other people "with similar destinations"

- somehow synchronise the time they leave work

- figure out who calls and pays for the robo-taxi

How is that effecient?

And, once again, that's just one office on a street of a dozen or so office buildings. Across is a building that houses 10 or so different companies. So I guess those people should also somehow group themselves across companies?

If we're going to throw out anything and everything to win that unwinnable battle, first goes encryption, then cameras, then computers, and then finally all humans after puberty.

Obviously there must be some reasonable limit, and making all encryption illegal (or just for civilians, and then shady stuff will start happening under govt and corporate encryption) is truly throwing the baby out with the bathwater, in that digital society can no longer function.

We don't stop selling knives because some people get stabbed with them, they still sell AR-15s in America despite ridiculously frequent mass shootings, so I can't see where the logic is coming from for making encryption illegal.

Or as Frank Vertosick pointed out in his book, mother nature wants life in general to continue, but doesn't give a shit whether any one individual lives or not.

Man-made structures do have some redundancy, but in general we don't build like that. When we install brackets like the one in the picture, we don't install a few extra ones with the expectation that some will fail. We make them much stronger than necessary ("safety factor") so we're sure none will ever fail.

Mother nature can't afford to put all her eggs in one basket. Humans often can't afford not to.

"You only get one chance to make a first impression."

That used to make me really mad when I heard it. I thought that everyone should have someone take the time to get to know them before judging them.

I'm a bit older now and I realize a couple of things:

* people are darn busy and likely to do what is most convenient for them. This makes the statement true.

* a good first impression can come of just caring about the person you are meeting as a person. This makes the statement less relevant, because you don't have to 'impress' the person, you have to connect to them.

Based on the content, it seems to be primarily a clever title. I don't think the author is trying to refute a hypothetical group of engineers who are trying to apply Marie Kondo's philosophy to software. (Not that there aren't devs who are doing that, but that doesn't seem to be the author's goal.)
No, I mean the function (e.g. a C function) assumes a particular type of parameter. So it's bound to that type of parameter (by accessing its fields) in the same way a method is bound to its object. It's the same problem.

Not exactly my field as I’m mainly on the backend/infrastructure side of these projects but I see a lot of recent progress in consumer devices/wearables inching their way into the medical space and replacing expensive medical equipment for detection and prevention of certain ailments.

One recent example is using PPG on smartwatches like Fitbit and Apple Watch to detect atrial fibrillation.

In 3-5 years I see some more use cases like this being released.
> navigating the web remembering to click “dislike” on every video I don’t want recommendations from is hard, so I’m using this post to beg for someone at Alphabet/YouTube to give us viewers (prosumers?) a quick and easy way to undo what videos recommendations are base on, as shown in this little video I made:

I think the word "prosumer" encapsulates why she's wrong. Wikipedia defines it as

> This increase in participation has flourished following the increasing popularity of Web 2.0 technologies, such as Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and Flickr. This rise in user participation blurs the line between production and consumption activities, with the consumer becoming a prosumer.

This is wrong. Youtube is producing a product which she uses. The fact that she decides to give YouTube videos for internet points doesn't make her some special new category of economic actor that deserves special "pro" rights if she'll watch YouTube ads and give them videos irregardless.
No worries. Just keep up the good work.

I'd also suggest, asking some of your users to leave you a review on SH.
Since the sun isn't turning around the earth, I believe the sun is still where you point at.
are you assuming that the author is suggesting the former while I am suggesting the latter? I even explicitly used the word trespassing!
I’m listening to Carlo Rovelli’s book, “Reality is not what it seems”, and I’m still hung up on the concept of the “extended now”. The way he describes it, everything being relativistic, there’s no such thing as an “objective” point of view. So, if I understand his take on your example, we’re not seeing the sun as it was 8 minutes ago. It simply takes 8 minutes for the sun’s “now” to reach us.

That is a shame. But Fallout 2 had ... zero dynamic content? It was absolutely the same scripted events and environments every time, with the exception of random encounters, which I never prioritized "farming".

New Vegas was a special beast, with its myraid choices and great writing. I will have to replay that. But FO4 on survival mode is a great experience, with plenty of danger and tradeoffs, and so much that I literally cannot do everything (I fail quests just due to lack of fast travel sometimes). And for that, I can thank Bethesda for a new kind of "more real" fallout experience.
Formal foundations of serverless computing
The GP is talking about the sun’s apparent speed in Earth’s sky, which is dominated by Earth’s rotation. Another way of stating it:

The sun is 1 AU distant and appears to revolve around Earth once a day from our perspective so it has apparent speed of 6.28 AU / day or 2.4 million mph.

Their point is that unless this star was very close to us it wouldn’t appear to move quickly across the sky, because the sun has similar apparent velocity and looks stationary to our eyes.
I would like to test it! It would be great to have an East Asia instance for this.

Huge touchscreens are a cheap way to avoid the expense of designing an ergonomic dashboard. Manufacturers don't care that they're a UX nightmare, ruin night vision, or take the driver's attention away from the road. They just care that they're cheap, and give salespeople a "feature" to point out.
