Indeed. Even the relatively harmless example of going up to a hotel floor to look at the view out of (I assume) the lift lobby is something that only works if you’re the only one doing it.

If a bunch of people start doing it then all of a sudden guests start noticing crowds of people outside their rooms, the hotel is obliged to post security guards to stop it happening, and bingo, suddenly life is slightly worse for everyone.

If you find yourself saying “it’s okay that I break the rules” with a full awareness that if everyone broke the same rules it would be terrible, then you are exactly the kind of selfish asshole that is the usual answer to the question of “why we can’t have nice things”.

If you mean running the VM locally, then that has a risk of any exploits being able to escape the VM, and attack your machine directly.

That seems less secure than facing the risk of any exploits being able to escape the hypervisor in the cloud, someohow come through the text protocol connection to your computer, and exploit you there.

The extra layer of security provided by the remote cloud is important.

If, on the other hand, you mean using Guacamole to connect to a desktop running headless in the cloud, I'd say that's a similar level of security to BrowserGap.

You seem to be presenting a straw man argument about restriction of access for reasons of conservation and trying to generalise that to imply 'disrespecting boundaries' of any kind is therefore bad without justification. What about denying access to a hotel's top floor or a private beach is about conservation? There are far more many examples of denying the right to roam that are about preserving privilege or sheer arbitrariness than about conservation.

This is missing a key element of why most people don't ironman most games: avoiding repetition. An game of FTL is relatively short and heavily randomized. Xcom is fairly randomized, but I still think most people would be annoyed to crash and burn near the end, just to have to play the whole campaign again to see what happens. To play something like an rpg on ironman seems like pure misery though: you'll spend the majority of your time killing the same slimes over and over.

Bill Gates was in the right place at the right time, enabled by the platform of an upper class education from a young age. His reign at Microsoft monopolized the tech industry, stunting development and growth for years to come.

Whether its Bill's attempts to privatize public education with under preforming charter schools, or proselytize procedures like circumcision in Africa as a cure all to AIDS (despite a lack of scientific data to support this position), he has done significant damage to the world

Which are? Having ridden on buses and Amtrak, buses go to the same places and more, cheaper, faster, with more available times, and keeping on schedule (the NE corridor may be faster and on schedule, I'm not in that part of the country-- but that would be the exception). There may be a small pollution difference but its probably negligible.
You talk as though the concept of public property doesn't exist.

It's also possible eliminate land rents from private property ownership, by charging 100% tax on the land portion (as opposed to the facilities on it).

Genuinely curious: who’s your customer base?

I mean, in theory the web is a cesspool of malware, but with reasonably good content blocking (I’m not even in the completely-disable-JS crowd) and conscious avoidance of shady sites, I managed to pretty easily stay clear of all attacks so far, at least over the past decade.

Those way more paranoid than me still have the option of using local VMs/containers without too much compromise. Then the attacker really needs an exceptional exploit chain to escape all the way; it’s hard to imagine any group blowing such a valuable chain on a drive-by.

So, why would anyone sacrifice the ability to interact with text, resolution, color accuracy, frame rate, etc. to reduce the minuscule chance of drive-by attacks (assuming otherwise reasonable opsec)? Extremely high value targets?

But then, why would extremely high value targets trust a MITM? (Self-hosting apparently changes that to some extent.) Also, even if you run your browser in the cloud, that browser could still be hacked and leak sensitive information or actively modify traffic, no? So this isn’t even bulletproof for high value targets.

Meshroom, as suggested by others. If you do this, I think you'd do well to spend a little time setting up a little "studio" for it. A rotating plate, e.g. a vinyl player to place the items on, plus even lighting, would help a lot. If possible, two cameras on tripod at different heights would be good.

You can do it handheld for sure, just make sure to have plenty of light and put the items on a small pedestal so you can get low angles of them without a table getting in the way. But for several hundred objects, it's going to take a while.
The ground breaking part is not the tunnel but the vehicles. Its extremely dangerous to use ICE vehicles in long tunnels without complex ventilation schemes. Electric vehicles solve this issue.

For me, the biggest problem seems to be that if there's a break in between (work/travel etc - need not be long - something as short as a couple of weeks is enough) and then I find it hard to pick up the project again where I left off :-(

Still haven't found a way to come back to projects once there's any sort of interruption.

> The actor model, and Elixir w/ OTP subtly encourage coupling of technical, distributed systems problems in the same application scope as the business problem. This is where that thorny state comes into play, and I believe it's a fundamentally wrong instinct.

I disagree that Elixir encourages coupling those systems. While erlang comes with no such help, in Elixir, you should be decoupling your distribution problems from your business logic by putting them into different applications within the same umbrella. Sure, there will be a coupling in the sense that they will live in the same VM, but that is abstractly similar to "our microservices all live in {AWS/GCP/K8s}", especially given the level of process isolation that the BEAM affords you.

But for all intents and purposes (program design, testing, heck you can even pick and choose components for deployment) they are decoupleable.
Maybe certain nice things should be part of the commons anyway, or not exist at all. A luxury hotel by its existence occupies space and resource that could be put to some other use. Some people accessing it for free can be seen as a way of rebalancing that.

I don't think the author would agree it would be terrible if everyone broke these rules. He is opposing rules he does not agree with. Rules made those who have accumulated land over a long period. There is clearly some nuance in how you might apply judgement on the justness of restriction of land, but it seems to me there are many cases it is largely unjustified and would not in practice cause harm to anyone to relax them. See for example the right to roam in Scotland.
Pigments are chemically designed to reflect particular wavelengths and combinations of wavelengths. But they are designed for the color gamut visible by trichromats. You can misx colors, but you cannot create primary colors by mixing other colors. Presumably tetrachromats would need a fourth primary color which might not be available.

Just imagine if the pigment selection were designed by a color-blind person.

I agree that message-passing should be asynchronous by default, but I disagree that message-passing "maps nicely" onto procedure calls in general. Only a particular subset of procedure calls can be naturally interpreted as message-passing: those with a distinguished receiver. Many mathematical functions lack such a distinguished argument, and Smalltalk and other OOP languages are unnecessarily awkward by forcing them to have one. IMO Erlang got it right by keeping a separate notion of function that doesn't involve message-passing.
Someone else already mentioned being hit by Google captchas and the developer of this service said that he switched to DDG as the default search provider. Nevertheless I tried Google and kept working through 15 (yes, fifteen) captchas in a row and Google still wouldn't let me through, and then I gave up. What the hell? Surely even after 1 captcha, Google should be amply convinced that I'm not a robot and let me did a single search.

Can anyone explain the purpose of Google putting up an apparently impossible barrier like that? Is it because my searches are comingled with dozens of other people attempting Google searches at the same time from the same IP address? Or Google decided to blacklist his IP address?
Not sure if the boring company approach is a bad solution.

For 30 years, I have heard from environmentalists that electric cars will need to have short range and shitty performance, but we have to outlaw ICE cars anyway for the greater good.

There comes Tesla and builds a car that is just objectively better in every metric than an ICE car. Now my next car when my 13 year old Prius gives up the ghost will be a Model 3.

For public transport it is similar. Offer me something that is better in every way than a car (on demand, point to point, with privacy), and I will happily use it instead of a car. A self-driving taxi fleet with dedicated right of way, as envisioned by the boring company, would fit the bill.

If the boring company plans don't work out, a high frequency electric bus system with dedicated rights of way would fit the bill, with something like trackless trams (http://theconversation.com/why-trackless-trams-are-ready-to-...) for the very high demand parts.

But don't try to sell me a tram as the best 21st century solution for transit and then try to outlaw all the alternatives...

I'm not sure how useful a 5-10 metre accuracy is going to be for indoor photogrammetry. 10 metres cubed is probably larger than the majority of indoor photo sets.

Now, for a military drone, I think they get better accuracy than 5 metres, but also the distances involved in an outdoor dataset mean that inaccuracies in the initial position estimate are much less significant.
What plants are effective at absorbing CO2?
An industrial logging operation fells and transports about 4 trees an hour. Let's assume about 5 productive hours in a day which is on the conservative side. So 20 trees per day. 100 per week. 1200 every 3 months.

Taking a reasonably dense plantation size (which we can assume is close to optimal these days) we get 620 trees per acre (https://www.forest2market.com/blog/how-many-tons-of-wood-are...).

So a single commercial logging operation is going to be able to clear cut 2 acres of dense forest every 3 months - which will then be just gone and not coming back with any type of biodiversity or wild life for at least 10 years probably longer if ever since we're not talking plantation growth here.

You don't have as many trees as you think.

While more infrastructure will indeed just create new wardrop equilibriums (and potentially sometimes make things worse - see Braess' paradox), banning cars is also a bad idea.

Frankly, cars are the most efficient means for individuals to travel - they may result in poor traffic flow on some single links, but otherwise they have huge benefits.

It is also worth noting that banning cars will affect the poor the most negatively. While poor people use cars less as a percentage of their population (about 9/10 the percentage of the amount that the rich use them), there are far more of them. Poor people are often the ones who have to manage multiple cases - a family and a job, a few jobs etc and often are unable to love near their workplace, or to find a (decent) job near their suburban homes. All of this means that the value of a car is much higher for them, as it can be the means for them to manage their more complex life scenarios efficiently (see "Disrupting Mobility" for more details - it's a great book)
Just to take one example: The UK records violent crimes that are not violent crimes in the US. So yes, violent crimes are higher in the UK. But they’d soar in the US if they’d use the same definition.
I know, let’s solve the problem by strangling the urban economy and driving the inhabitants crazy. So annoying, these busy demanding _people_ everywhere, messing up our nice clean cities.

Alright, a little unfair, but Musk’s vehicle tubes can be used for mass transit too with electric mini-buses shuttling people around. Buses and taxis are traffic too.
Or maybe it’s not inducing demand but fulfilling demand. I don’t get this odd position often taken to attack cars. People like fast private point to point transport.

It’s reasonable to suggest that your driving is creating personal gain at the expense of others (pollution, congestion etc), and thus should be treated like many other things that fall into this category (theft, speeding) and be outlawed.

Of course it’s also totally reasonable to suggest that the harm to others is so small that it doesn’t justify the erosion of personal liberty.

Point being, the question warrants reasonable consideration rather than immediate dismissal.

--Verity Stob

I am at this point entirely unsure if the author is knowingly self-deprecating or unknowingly proving Ms Stob correct.
You could replace highways with a magical teleporter and you'd still have traffic and congestion. Most traffic happens at the interface between the highway and the rest of the road network, as cars can only join the flow of traffic at whatever rate its capacity frees up - and cars entering the city compete for that capacity with cars leaving parking spots. Cities are already crammed full of street capacity, so the only way to increase capacity is to increase the number of people per car. And that solution, taken to its logical conclusion, is a train.

Subways face similar problems to highway interchanges - passengers have to rejoin the flow of (foot) traffic. This is easier than with cars, since people are smaller and most of them can use stairs, but the cost of stations ends up being the larger portion of cost, not the cost of tunnels (which can be built more cheaply using cut & cover than they can with boring machines anyway). I'd like to see Musk throw his resources behind cheaper ways to make stations, instead of a problem that's better solved by digging a ditch.

Any time these topics around weakening privacy or removing encryption comes up, it's nearly always presented with a save the children type of argument. I mean, who doesn't want to protect children from child abuse and predators? The problem however, is that most children that are abused are done so by family members or people already close to them (like maybe their priests), so with that in mind I don't really understand how weakening encryption will help protect children from predators.
If the innovation is changes in the society why can't every other tunnel company just copy him and do it better?

it is ridiculously labour intensive.

First, all utilities have to be mapped out, then any basements shored up.

Then once the cut and cover is in progress, all utilities have to be re-routed, during, then replaced after the tunnel is cut.

Then, the disruption of having major transit ways shut for n weeks.

Lastly, there isnt a machine to do it. The TBM is pretty efficient labour wise.
It looks like Nissan is using the CHAdeMO port's DC pins in reverse, to power an external inverter. That's less fun than generating AC from a motor controller, but I guess it's sensible to keep the car's job as simple as possible.
The issue here is that you can't stop people from using encryption; they'll just start using a combination of encryption and steganography for example.

In Singapore, most people (80%) live in public housing. Some even have great views and allow the public to view as well, they just enforce quotas [1]. Thus, it seems to work as long as it was properly designed and intended to work that way - also helps that crime is virtually non-existent.
