Human stupidity finally catches up, and it's not pretty:

* The 2020 election in the USA is extremely hard on the nation's moral, as Trump appears to win in a landslide, but is quickly uncovered as a massive hack of the popular vote, well as the electoral college, as well as a coordinated deep fake news with Anderson Cooper and other network anchors faked and reporting a Trump landslide.

* Anti-vaxers have their ultimate success by triggering epidemics that wipe out large portions of the 60+ population in the US.

* The rapid death rate of older US citizens triggers a real estate collapse as the younger generations have no economic capacity to absorb the monumental number of luxury boomer homes entering the market.

* The US real estate collapse cascades and trillions of dollars of wealth evaporate over night.

* The US Federal Reserve tries drastic measures, but the international community has had enough of the USA's predatory policies and the poor choice of the Yuan becomes the new international currency of business.

* Attempting a return to relevancy, the US Dollar is converted into a cryptocurrency, but a poor technical implementation leaves an exploit exposed, and the entirety of the US's liquid currency is stolen in a single day's coordinated attack.

* The unreal aspect of all of the USA's poor decisions cascading into such a terrible situation, suicide rates in the US skyrocket. Those that choose life tell themselves "at least its not as bad here as in the UK."

* The UK has the same problems as the US, only their volume is 11 where in the US the terror volume is 10. The UK formally adopts "The Purge" as a means of resolving their differences.
For those who don't recognize the reference, it's the chorus of a song made famous by Chuck Berry:

> For every one of them there’s 15 people working two jobs and eating at a fast food joint with disposable cutlery because there is no other option that fits their schedule or budget

Very US-centric though, people in most european countries eat at home.
Indeed, his own argument implies the opposite in that only people that can afford a car in the first place can benefit from this higher standard of living. Most people not needing a car is a far higher goal for a country to attain.
> birds will fly away and come back

Ever seen a bird fly away from your location only to see the fire move faster than the bird?

> Some reptiles, like lizards, would perhaps go underground

How long's the ground on fire? What's the ambient temperature just half a meter below ground during a fire? How much oxygen is preserved and for how long? Those lizards are being cooked alive. Those that aren't will suffocate.
Hierarchies don't have to be vicious. A group of friends will develop the funny guy, the guy who leads the discussions, someone who figures out where to meet up next.

The biggest question philosophy should be answering is how can we ensure that everyone wins after we've self-sorted into our natural hierarchies.
Most years in my life, new year's has been significant -- a time to change, reset, refocus, set goals, etc. This year, I don't know why, but I am not into that at all. I am still trying to do all of those things but I am taking things a day at a time, and striving for daily consistency and "path-finding" instead of setting up plans for a whole year. For me, I think it's partly about incorporating learning -- e.g. I might know something in two weeks that would change my entire rest of the year. That doesn't mean don't try to set goals for the year, I guess, but just set them regardless of time frame. All in all, years are pretty arbitrary measuring sticks.
Some people I know bought a 40k EUR (45k USD) Model 3 in Norway earlier this year, and received it a few weeks after ordering. Don't know if that anecdote answers part of your question.
BuzzFeed Edges Closer to Profitability After Tough Year
Well a couple things. First as another commenter pointed out i believe correctly, this tweet was sent before that aggreement was finalized so your point is moot technically. But let's assume for the sake of market integrity CEOs shouldn't lie. (doesn't stop politicians from getting elected or prosecuted but i'll leave that aside :). This was not as you seem to claim a lie. This was a forecast which cannot be proven before hand to be false or not. The exact tweet was: TESLA made 0 cars in 2011, but will make around 500k in 2019. Followed by a clarification that same day that he meant an annualized rate of around 500k. You can't factually prove this was wrong the day it was made. As it turns out it seems to me he got damn close and it was totally a legit forecast and not excessively bold but obviously you're welcome to have a different view.
I mean, I just bring some bags to the store and fill them up! And bottles for laundry detergent, oils, etc. Several of these zero waste shops opened in my city (an eastern European capital) the past couple of years.
"Unless you're after fashion accessories"

Having a crack in the display is an enormous functional detriment on the device. Holding it as a fashion element is absolutely ludicrous.
Have you blogged on this/on your favorite recipes? Would read.
I believe this is mainly because of the growth of income. In the early 90s which I was born, most Chinese think of meat as an expensive ingredient, whereas in the early 2000s, most people can actually buy meat for dinner without a second thought.
> try to imitate the sound of rattles or household sounds nearly as much as speech

Well surely that's a case of the range of the vocal chords? Parrots are another intelligent creature that has better range and they imitate all sorts of sounds.

> Related to the second, the rate at which we learn, and the very specific order we learn things in, points very strongly in the direction that there is some built-in model that we train inside of.

Or that an action like walking requires one to put one foot ahead of the other, all other strategies in attempting to walk end in failure, which is why we don't see them.

I'd like to point out that all humans perceive intonation and its perceivable outside of language, that's why its easy to pick up, you don't need language to realise that someone is cross, or happy or sad. However considering autistic children cannot then maybe there are some genetic markers at play there at least.

I put a case and a screen protector on my current iPhone 7 at the time of purchase. Dropped it on the driveway the next morning. The screen cracked. Shit happens (and I did fix it immediately).

I do agree that failure to use a case is insane for a device that's as expensive as a smartphone. But, I see lots of people will to risk a $100+ screen over buying/installing a $30 case. My son does this. He probably breaks one screen/year. Whatever, he's 25 and it's his money.
I think it is clear that we live in a corporate state. Great interview. I think I will buy the book Goliath because what the interviewee said resonated with me.

Unfortunately, most of my friends who are Democrats think that the corporation loving candidates are OK.

Interesting footnote at the asterisk, that the Linux Foundation "didn't bother to respond". I thought of all entities, LF would appreciate something like curl.
That's because they stopped giving them for free: ~10 years ago we still had plastic bags everywhere in France.

Make people pay for their waste, usually it helps reducing them.
> If they were helping Apple, then I doubt Apple would be suing them.

They're helping their security but damaging their reputation. (Corellium makes finding bugs and developing jailbreaks easier. People exposing bugs will make other clueless people think iOS's security is bad, therefore damaging Apple's reputation). Apple chose to keep their reputation because who cares about security when everyone thinks security is good?
I just did some statistic and "four" is correct answer to 8% of questions.
The moral hazard isn’t in paying for it, it’s in how the profit motive multiplied across dozens of middlemen is corrosive to the quality of the system. We’re paying for it regardless, but we pay a lot more under the current system because we have to support perpetual growth of every company in the value chain.
Where's "here"? In Switzerland you also see lots of burger replacements, imported like beyond or "homegrown" like the green mountain burger.
I would use GMAFIA instead of Netflix. I don't see them at the level of Apple, Google ... and the likes.
> I'm an immigrant from the UK and I much prefer the US system to the NHS

Interestingly, my wife -- who moved from the US to the UK a decade ago, and has had quite a bit of interaction with the healthcare system since she's been here -- feels exactly the opposite.
That would make them "formerly open source" projects.
Been giving this some thought too. Because my plastic output on food is completely unreasonable. Basically every meal equals 2-3 plastic containers because its all single portions salad etc

I could hit the local market. But that would mean sacrificing lunch hour to go shopping (market hours =biz hours)

Gonna try and make an effort this year anyway
I’ve seen Pixel phones sold on Amazon UK and shipped to EU countries where Google doesn’t officially sell them at almost 2x markup.
Plus it's not thaaat bad. (Eg. any big enterprise where IT is just a cost-center will be much worse.) Simply other FAANG places are more feely-goody.
It’s mostly for fast food and take-out places in the US, too.
Ag Degree here: Yours is totally fake news bogus. All crop diseases have everything to do with animal farming because these diseases of crops influence the prices of the crop grains being fed to the animals to produce them . . .

Something has to be added but it could just be an empty comma, which IIRC parallels initialization: use `auto& [a, , c]` to match the first and third elements of a tuple.
I think it's more like learned helplessness.

People don't have alternatives to using the internet, to their smartphones, and to electronic money, that let them still participate in interesting modern society.

I think deep down, anyone who thinks about it knows everything they do with their devices may be tracked, is probably being tracked and analysed, but the tools are too essential to life, so they can't afford to worry.

That said, I mentioned to someone recently that web servers keep a log of every request and the person was shocked! (Imagine if they could see the details kept by modern analytics and observability tracing!)

Your comment made me think of a very important data point: what percentage of people who get an electric car (or just make it Tesla specific) would ever consider owning an ICE car again? I'm hoping it would be very low.

I own a Chevy Volt, and I know I'll never own a non-electric car again. Yes, I know my car has a gas engine, but I almost never use it (it is still very handy to keep me from having "range anxiety"), and honestly when it does switch on it just reminds me how I never want to own a pure-ICE car again.
It's the user that chooses if they want Android or iOS and which versions of them. Corellium downloads the firmwares from the official sources, in this case apple.com. Modifications are applied dynamically. Jailbreaks modify iOS, they don't distribute a modified iOS. Same thing with Corellium. It modifies iOS after downloading it from apple.com.
hi i just want to use submit option of this site but there is an error i.e you are too new to submit this website why i get this error
I bought a pixelbook last year as I was excited to play with the early native Linux integration. The technology that has been built is an amazing amount of work (crosvm, Wayland support, etc) but at the end of the day it's really only useful for simple use cases. This is a common theme for everything in ChromeOS.

I've given up on ChromeOS for the time being as been capable of any serious work I do. The more frustrating part is my kids have Chromebooks and as they've gotten older they've become a real detriment. They can't accomplish anything on them beyond school work. My kids are showing a lot of interest in graphic design and programming and both tasks are too hard or almost impossible on a Chromebook.
The auto industry is really going to go through some changes in the next decade. It wouldn't surprise me if a few majors like GM, Ford, BMW, Mercedes, Chrysler, Nissan. etc are still around or on their way out. At this point Tesla seems to be doing better every month while other manufacturers just can't mount a serious challenge when it comes to EV's. The more time that passes, the stronger Tesla seems to get.
By not caring about who can look at my front lawn, I am implying if that camera footage gets hacked I do not care. I own my lawn and can do whatever I want with the footage.

As for people walking or driving by, they are in public and have zero expectation of privacy. I live in a school zone with a high school of 3500 kids across the street, most walk home. No one would never believe in a million years the crap they do to my lawn and the neighbors. They throw trash in my lawn, leave soda cans and bottles at the end of my driveway so I literally have to either stop in the street and move them or run them over getting into the driveway. They throw things in the back of a pickup truck in my driveway. They do this to all 12 houses on my street. It is nice to have footage in case ANY of this results in criminal damages. And it is legal.

So if that is selfish, then I am cool with that.
They should just update the curl license for all newer versions going forward to require any US based company to pay 1 million dollars to his account per binary distribution of curl.

The "What could possibly go wrong?" list would be quite long, but not being able to travel to the US is probably costing them money.

Can you explain how this is so much different in terms of performance? Since users doesn't have direct access to the prototypes, they're not doing arbitrary manipulation or creating long chains of them.
> That’s not exactly a solution to the dives and street food joints that couldn’t operate without some form of disposable containers or cutlery. And more importantly, that’s not a solution to the customers of those dives that can’t afford anything more expensive.

Street vendors could dispense into your container or charge you for a disposable one.
They are though. The US are among the top countries in the world in $/capita from public (tax) funding towards healthcare. And then they add a stack of about the same size of private funding.

Americans pay about twice as much as all other western nations for the opportunity to turn people away. It's not about contributing for the health of losers, it's about being ok with paying double so that losers don't get anything.

This belief that it's about not wanting to pay needs to end. They are paying just as much as everyone else from taxes, and then paying another just as big amount out of their own pockets.
On a separate note, I've been wondering how Tesla's relationship with China will affect Starlink. When I first learned about Musk's satellite internet plans, I was optimistic that it could bring unfettered internet access to the billion+ people subject to aggressive internet censorship. Now I doubt Musk will go against a country that is providing over a 1/5th of his car sales.

This reminds me of my first pc, an Amstrad with a whooping 20Mb drive and 5.25 diskette bay. I had so much software on that machine, 20 megabites seemed more than enough at the time. I was a kid at the time and was getting all kinda of shareware games and eventually a virus completely distroyed the harddrive. Some expert did a low level formatting that took overnight and some but to no avail, the virus’s damage couldn’t be undone.

Fun fact: that amstard pc had a pair of AA batteries to keep the cmos powered up and they fit right on top of the box, right where the monitor fit snugly.
Why derail the conversation? This could easily go down a deep rabbit hole of nasty comments...

I wonder why there aren't more shotgun style donations for these small ulities. Ie say 100k split over 100 most popular ulitities for security bounties etc

That would probably make a tangible impact on overall Internet security

> I'm saying that spam like this is a consequence of cheap domains.

Technically correct, but the thing is, spam like this is a consequence of a lot of things. Why draw attention to that specific cause out of everything else?

You could just as accurately say that spam like this is a consequence of human-readable domains. If humans weren't visually validating URLs, it would be impossible for a scammer to use unicode tricks to make a URL look legitimate.

A lack of gatekeepers means we'll have more scammers, yes. But, gatekeepers almost universally don't scale well in any system as large as the Internet, and they come with so many additional problems that they're not worth paying special attention to or prioritizing as a solution to any problem on this scale.
> If our goal is to reduce the number of animal lives taken for meat

The problem is that this shouldn't be our goal. Is neither a realistic goal, neither would be necessarily a desired outcome.

Big animals have parasites also. You kill a cow and also millions of simbionts in the cow's gut but nobody cares. You make a modern soy field and kill everything. All green and all hairy and all winged things. All is killed except soy.

Is the typical new age religious nonsense that ends in a dead end. Is not possible to do anything in this planet without stepping over some creature. Is full of life and life fills the gaps all the time. Is the quality and diversity what counts, not the amount of new rats that we can fit in the same space.

Some species evolved to fix that and other not. Some are keys, sustainers or big modificators of the ecosystem, and other not.
What we need to do is figure out how civilization can survive in a 6 degree warmer world. I'd take it if I could get it, but I've given up hope of achieving anything lower.
I am sure the other knots people are posting work well, but most people will never remember them. I suggest a surgeon's knot. It does the job well enough and is simple enough that anyone can use it.

> The equivalent here in the US would be if everyone was asked to show a passport by border agents after having gone through the TSA, when flying from say NYC to Miami - not acceptable.

That has happened in the US before: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/07/no-more-id...

Real ID is also basically that, since you have to be legal to get an id in the US and the TSA check is linked to fed databases.
