every month a new site that lift content off stack overflow and somehow manages to top it in Google results is born, and that's an extremely niche audience with laser focused searches. I can't fathom what the web looks like to the untechnicals that don't know how to filter by domain or add keywords to remove the most egregious spam

Yes, that the name may be misleading is a fair point. Even though it was (I think) called the Alaska Highway from the beginning, I changed the text to say "military roadway" -- hopefully this helps to clarify. Thanks for pointing this out!
The pain point with CIDER for me has been, the complexity of setting it up and keeping it current (so many components to it Clojure, leiningen, cider, nrepl, etc), and the fact that it can't drop to a live REPL at the point of exception.
Not sure if I'm speaking just for myself, but it just comes across as kind of sleazy, but I guess that's the nature of this game. I'm not even sure what it is about it. I think it might be that it's accomplishing something that feels like it ought to be based purely on knowledge/expertise/competency and achieving based on a very robot/formulaic approach. I dunno. Feels like in the same vein as all that growth hackery stuff.
Even if it the “consistency checker” was completely unbiased people wouldn’t care. Most people are just looking for validation and will deliberately ignore facts or find a way to rationalize them away.
In RTS we’d call it a ‘build order’. Which is a strategic template used to guide the order in which you build or create things to support your overall strategy.

In the same way, this is a strategic template for what to build, when and in what order to support your overall marketing or customer acquisition strategy. Choosing this template yo deploy would depend on other criteria that would push you to choose this over other possible strategic approaches.

I think all that is missing from the above article is some discussion of when it’s not appropriate to deploy such a strategic approach.
As I said it’s not a difference in net costs of 170B.

It may cost 20$ to eat out at lunch, but the alternative is not skipping eating. So the net cost for eating out is the delta between my options.

Random study: Results Smoking was associated with a greater mean annual healthcare cost of €1600 per living individual during follow-up. However, due to a shorter lifespan of 8.6 years, smokers’ mean total healthcare costs during the entire study period were actually €4700 lower than for non-smokers. For the same reason, each smoker missed 7.3 years (€126 850) of pension. https://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/2/6/e001678.

Yes, I think how Forth and PostScript does that is good, compared to the other ways (there are other good things about Forth, too). And then, in assembly language, it may depend what instruction set is used and how call frames are organized; Glulx allows only one return value, and same with Z-machine code.
A lot of the recipe quantities are unreasonable. This is a common outcome of taking base recipes and scaling them without thinking. For steamed potatoes I got:

* 1 5/8 medium potato

* 5/8 tbsp butter

* 5/8 tsp dill

* 3/8 tsp garlic

* 1/16 dash salt

These aren't real measurements, nor do many of them matter. Only the butter and potatoes matter here and since "medium potato" means basically anything the specific amount is largely worthless. Yes, there are gram amounts below but you are better off rounding to something reasonable (just round the butter down and don't even include measurements for things like dill).

More generally, this feels very much like the HN approach to cooking (there have been many similar tools) rather than a general product with a wide audience. What led you to believe that this is a product that serves a serious need? In my experience, people who know how to cook don't need this and people who don't know how to cook are going to see a lot of these recipes and panic. BlueApron seems to have hit a similar problem, where once their customers learned how to cook they just do it themselves.
> I'm not sure any human system is self consistent

I think you're right, with the possible exception of math. The entire discipline is about finding a large, self consistent set of rules, and a lot of progress has been made towards that end.

I think a system that checks for consistency with regards to observations about the real world would be useful as a roadmap even if the ultimate goal of finding a set of rules that was entirely self consistent and described pretty much everything we observed would be too large/complicated to figure out.

If there were a way of testing the effectiveness of our information and our assumptions by testing our information and assumptions against all other information, I think it would help identify how "good" our information and assumptions were.

Such a system could theoretically help identify bad actors. If an actor is putting out information that is inconsistent with other information, that could mean a) that actor's information is "bad" b) the other information is "bad". To determine which person is "right", you could look at whether the axioms they put forward are consistent with things you accept as true, how many things those axioms can explain accurately, and then compare that to the axioms and information put forward by other people.

I realize this is essentially what people do now when they generate their own little web of trust (although there are lots of charisma/confidence/rhetorical angles to human trust that this is unrelated to), but I think if you could some how automate those consistency checks, you'd be able to more easily test your own ideas without worrying about someone with an opposing ideological bent messing with you/being turned of by personality types of presentation of people with a different worldview/etc.

This is all extremely theoretical, and again, if the kind of system I was describing were somehow possible, there's a fair chance it could backfire/be used as a sort of "ultimate truth authority" that ideologues could use to stifle ideas they don't like. But I do think the current situation is such that people are going to try to make a "truth engine" regardless of whether it's possible or a good idea, so trying to figure out how to steer that ship in the best direction possible seems prudent (and imo that direction is to try to make it free/open and dependent on consistency/webs of trust rather than anything authoritative).
You do need to change the font color though lol. It is seriously hard to read..ultra thin sans font with a shade of grey that is like baaarely legible. It hurts to read.
I find it a little ironic that for an article about unintuitive and broken electronic navigation system, the UX on mobile of this article breaks navigation in weird and unintuitive ways.

There is a fun poem about that:

As a professing Christian, I would say your reading is correct, but this verse (like the rest of the ceremonial and judicial laws) is a command given specifically to Israel, not to all readers. Capital punishment is very common in this code of law, as it was in other civilizations from this time period. There are many laws that have to do with keeping sin and impurity/health risks out of the camp, and this is, by biblical standards, both of those. By modern standards it's a terrible law, but it was never intended for modern use.

Personal take: I value open source software, and while you do note that some of your suggestions can be implemented in open source while hoping that bad actors don't take the time to remove them you also suggest (especially in the other article that elaborates on when to release code) that some code simply shouldn't be shared with the public. I hope you lose the culture war, and we find other ways to deal with this issue. The people I trust least are the ones most capable of forging evidence, and I hope that proliferation of this technology you fear will cause us to rethink our standards of trust and evidence altogether; signature or it didn't happen.

>>San Francisco proposed a new bus lane on Van Ness in 2001. Its opening was recently delayed to 2021, yielding a project duration of around 7,300 days. “The project has been delayed due to an increase of wet weather since the project started,” said Paul Rose, a San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency spokesperson. The project will cost $310 million, i.e. $100,000 per meter. The Alaska Highway, mentioned above, constructed across remote tundra, cost $793 per meter in 2019 dollars.

I think the file is more fundamental. One must know where the file is, where it starts and ends, and how to read it before one can parse the contents (e.g. a table) within.

Only problem with Redux is it can be misused quite easily. The codebase at work has performance issues because of Redux, rerender issues because of reselect (not confirmed yet) and imo very very hard to read code because of Redux-Thunk. The state management was implemented by one person and everyone else is terrified of touching that part of the codebase.

Im not blaming redux for this, this is clearly a problem with how we implemented redux. But our team of 3 devs would be much much better off by having used Mobx.

I've seen better implementations of Redux and https://github.com/isubasinghe/advanced-redux-patterns is one of them (this is code by Nir Kaufman for his advanced redux patterns talk)
The new Berlin airport is a classic example, and one that really undermines the stereotype of German efficiency and competence when it comes to infrastructure projects.
reselect has been magnificent to us (along with moving most fetching logic to thunks)

API shapes change and evolve, and mapping raw API shapes to components (through Redux) became a major PITA, real fast.

reselect solved all of that; we transform almost all data to a “view layer friendly” format before passing it into the components, keeping them as dumb as possible. We also moved most “view business logic” to the selector level: The check might involve user permissions, subscription plan, etc, etc, but the component only receives ‘shouldThisThingBeDisplayed‘. API shape/changes very rarely impact the components.

This approach makes it much easier to test in our experience. Business logic is tested without any concern for the components themselves. Visuals are covered by Storybook and ChromaticQA.
To add to your point about how satellite internet connected smartphones negate the problems with building physical networks in the US, this could also have major effects for how US software services can reach foreign markets.

In developing areas without stable cellular backbone like parts of Africa, South America, Central Asia etc anyone with a smartphone can get access to Google, Facebook, or Twitter as long as they're within line of sight of a satellite. More people using US software, more data to mine and more profits.

But even more interesting is that now US software services can't be censored in places like China, Iran, Vietnam, Cuba, etc. Anyone with a smartphone can access US internet satellites without going through the firewalled cellular backbone of their home country. The CIA and NSA would have a field day with the data they could mine and media they could push. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a lot of government money being funneled towards development of a uncensorable satellite network to defray R&D costs or keep it running even if it never makes a profit.

The key to making this work though would be to have an internet satellite network where the satellites can do all the beamforming and signal processing well enough that smartphone antennas don't have to be significantly more powerful than they are today.

This was a good article. Bits of entropy are not lost as the CSPRNG spits out bits 1:1. Nobody thinks that a 64 bit key is compromised after a CSPRNG outputs 64 bits.

However RDRAND should not be trusted because we know for certain that motherboard BIOSes have the capability to force the output of RDRAND to -1 every time it is called. Hardware vendors have demonstrated this to us as a "bug" multiple times, but I consider it a "wink". They have fixed it with BIOS patches. The fact that this is patchable at all indicates RDRAND is not secure. The BIOS can control this behavior; therefore it is IMHO very highly suspect and not worthy of trust. There is no legitimate reason why a ring oscilator circuit with it's whitening/etc should ever output a predictable sequence of any kind.

> Older how?
> S3 was invented in 2006.

Because looking back at that, it feels odd that it's only 13 years ago, and how much the industry has changed in that time.

Back then S3 was this weird thing that Amazon came out with. A file hosting service that didn't let you do anything except store or fetch files.

Sure, it's low cost... but I can't process them without downloading them again and paying for the data access (twice!). Why the hell would I want that?

SmugMug's use case was the first I saw that actually made sense.

Back then, if you weren't able to afford buying a server and putting it in a colo facility, you'd go rent a server on a monthly/yearly basis from the likes of ThePlanet, and host those files yourself on your server. If you needed redundancy, you'd have to figure out syncing between the servers yourself.

Now?
Spin up an AWS instance or trigger a function, serve a link to the file in S3 or via a cloudfront distribution. Even if you need to process the data before serving it - stream it straight out of S3, through your application and to the user.
1) regulators don't lock people up for marijuana use.
2) We would save Lawyers the risk of not getting paid if they didn't have the chance of getting paid. Expressed with less sarcasm, there is no shortage of lawyers coming out of the woodwork to start class action suits when something happens. Every time anything big happens there is a half dozen class actions that get filed straight away, then there is lots of overhead figuring out who's class action is the correct one and combining lawsuits, and all this "work" is only to the benefit of the attorneys filing the lawsuits not to the actual people they are claiming to represent. Anyway, it's rotten to the core.
But the book straight up says that, right? Like regardless of what was actually done, it literally says it right there:

'If a man lies with a man as with a woman, they have both committed an abomination. They must surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.'
Because it’s much more difficult.

The mean can be calculated from the total: just divide by the population. That’s what the commenter to whom you replied did. The total was probably easy to estimate, as the largest healthcare providers’ revenues are in their public filings.

Calculating the median requires individual data. That is much harder to get because, in many cases, no one except the patient has the data.
The same way that switching to a channel does it. But instead of waiting for next one to arrive you first scan your 0.5s buffer.
Because medians don't let you extrapolate total costs or how population-wide changes will affect total costs. The tails of the distribution matter when we're talking about public health.
It’s an THC product additive, that’s not used in non-THC vape juices. The title is perfectly accurate, even if it could be a little more verbose.

Low earth orbit peer-to-peer low cost internet is very different from what the old guard in this "space" is up to. And it is in that sense that they are copying Elon. (edit: I thought Facebook was first to announce this, but apparently it was indeed first inspired by SpaceX).
This could be a game changer:

1) No more carriers. They get a consistent, high margin monthly revenue stream, can have one worldwide SKU and can let illegal imports take care of situations where there has been the potential for bans e.g. patents or Russia.

2) No more dealing with Qualcomm and 5/6G standards bodies and having them dictate where the industry goes.

3) Further ties customers to Apple in a world where its getting harder to differentiate on hardware features alone. Instead they can differentiate on the network e.g. no more roaming charges and offer unique bundles e.g. ATV+ with Apple Internet. And good luck with smaller players being able to launch their own satellite.

4) No more dealing with foreign governments blocking websites, demanding apps be installed, intercepting traffic and by extension far less jailing and killing of dissidents, minorities, journalists etc.

5) Apple owns the total experience. It's just you and Apple.
It seems more like holography.

I looked it up, and I do like it. Thanks for the reference. But, there's one big thing missing and that is the DB needs to be open sourced. Do that and I'll move my projects to your hosted service and promote it everywhere I possibly can.

But, it needs to be open source. Otherwise I'd rather stick with AWS Cognito + Dynamo/AppSync, because primarily that I can depend that it'll be around in five years. Even if I believe FaunaDB cloud will around, I know I won't be able to convince my other stakeholders. But, if it's open source, I can always argue that if FaunaDB-as-a-service disapears, I can host it myself (as a last resort).
