It is still an entirely asymmetric situation. If a pedestrian is inattentive, the consequences fall on the pedestrian. If a driver is inattentive, the consequences fall on the pedestrian.

(This is not to imply that severe injury and death are appropriate "punishments" for walking inattentively, merely that the pedestrians have large incentive to modulate their behavior, while drivers do not.)
There are a lot of assertions there about poor quality, "everyone" failing, and concepts being completely flawed.

Could you explain the rationale for those assertions, and expand on why rolling your own avoids those pitfalls?
> And RISC-V exposes its internals

But your example shows no internal states exposure, it's just arithmetic to detect overflow. What are you trying to show ?
I recently watched (and highly recommend) Ken Burns’ fantastic documentary series on prohibition.

I learned so much about that era that wasn’t really covered much in school (i.e. prohibition gave rise to the first federal income tax, women’s suffrage was very closely tied to the prohibition movement, bootleggers were delivering shipments to congressmen at their offices in the capitol, etc.)

It was an incredible look into America’s failed attempt to govern morality. It reminded a lot of how we see cannabis today.
Can't wait to see what happens when systemd-homed becomes entrenched across all distros. What's left after that? Systemd-gccd?
Saw this study that pertains to road safty for Oslo published a few years back and some interesting aspects, like seasonal patterns and what works and what does not. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S000145751...

Clearly an achievement that has been worked for and not statistical anomaly low.
Hah yes I've had this from NatWest. I always insist that they provide me with a number to phone them back, then check it against their website before dialing.
Good point.

What if the scammer plot "do not call your kids" into their scheme?
You sound a lot like my current manager:) I am sure your team really appreciates it and that it creates a much better work environment.
> None of these clowns deserve to be billionaires and nothing bad will happen to them or us if a small chunk of their money is used to pay for things like single payer healthcare.

A rather large chunk of billionaire's money is used to pay for a huge portion of the government (directly). Not to mention the amount of extra wealth in the world that (some of them) have created, which also turns into tax revenue.
I haven't had them ask for personal info, but I've had NatWest 'advisors' ring from random mobile numbers to confirm I was attending an appointment.

Its quite disconcerting, especially as most corporate VOIP extends to mobiles.
Not only banks.

My pension provider, Scottish Widows, did this to me a few weeks back, from a private number to boot.

I told them I'd call them back and they were fine. Not sure if it was a scam or not but suspect not as they were pretty ok about the whole thing.
way back in the day, it use to be a thing to hang out at payphones. your friends could call you there.

Not so much in Cobargo. They were somewhat less than enthusiastic over the Prime Bureaucrat's recent visit.

Second lottery ticket doubles your win chance. Very true mathematically, just the probability is terribly small in general.

While I am working on my (hardware) idea, I see, that this is a marathon, not sprint. And with amount of development job done potential clients or partners take me more seriously I reach every milestone. So increasing win chance is also possible.
^ This.

My parents ring me if they get an odd popup on a webpage to double check if they should ignore it or not. If someone calls them telling them there's something wrong they politely tell the person they will ask me to look at it and politely end the call. And if they purchase stuff off a new website they check with me before they make any purchase so they don't pass their credit card to a dodgy site.

It's better they call and ask me than take a risk, last thing I want to happen is my parents to fall victim to a scam.
Predictions for the 2020s
What is your point exactly?

That it is possible that there a few individuals for whom driving is more advantageous than public transport? Of course, it is possible.

Is it likely that if everyone drove instead of taking public transport driving would become unbearable for everyone, you included? Of course again.

So what are you arguing for exactly? That everyone should drive? Are you looking for absolution for liking to drive? Are you looking for an arrangment where it is ok if you drive but not others?
What is your position here exactly? That everyone should be guaranteed an audience, even on private platforms?

That seems a radical change: newspapers and other broadcasters have always been able to refuse publication.
I think you're on to something. I get worn out if someone calls me all the time for support. But if I got an email asking me to approve a security action, like downloading a lesser known URL or installing an app, that'd be pretty fine.

And it can be async too (at the cost of convenience): "You will be notified when your download is complete and the security administrator has reviewed it for safety"
The original argument was comparing centralized vs decentralized services. We aren't talking about closed vs open, the point remains even if you substitute WhatsApp with Signal.
Not even close to the noise made here: Macron (and Hollywood artists) lying about "world lung", Europeans threatening us with economic sanctions, fake news everywhere (old pictures, fake pictures (from other places), animals that don't even exist in Amazon...
That would be hate crimes, not hate speech, which are different legally speaking (though in common parlance we use them interchangeably).

Hate speech from my own understanding legally is relatively narrowly defined (in the US) for direct calls of violence that can reasonably be interpreted to incite action. Eg "Kill Hitler!" isn't hate speech, but inducing someone to assassinate a particular person would be.

The issue is that platforms and some countries often use an expansive definition which is frequently weaponized against "the other side" (whomever that might be). The case which got JK Rowling on twitter's angry side, the Maya Forstater case, is an example of non-citing speech which had legal consequences.

> The civil rights movement had organized leadership that used the protests to mobilize voters, to gain public interest and recognition, etc., all with the ultimate aim of changing politicians/parties

I was trying to say more or less the same, but maybe a bit too terse. [edit: with the qualification that I believe that protests and civil disobedience are essential means in "changing politicians/parties"]

What I was trying to say is that passive voting for the currently available options is not enough. People need to get off their couches and get actively involved in a climate movement and shift the overton window.

> Conversely, consider all sorts of modern disorganized protests, no matter the size.

Which ones do you have in mind specifically?
Looks sleek! What does the backend look like? Does it cost a lot to host the app?
This is a great idea. All about not making it seem patronising.

As I said before you wrote this comment, i meant to use sizable here not sizable majority.
It's disappointing that US telecoms are so far behind in shaken/stirred, reputation based call blocking, etc. Email spam is not the problem for me that it was 10+ years ago. Telephone spam and scam, on the other hand, is worse than ever, and rising.

Maybe NLP will get to the point that an automated answering service would pass for human, and screen callers effectively and cheaply.
and for drunks to beat on. There use to be a handful in an art/music neighborhood here in Dallas (Deep Ellum) and they were always bent and beat to hell.
But while all propaganda is advertising, not all advertising is propoganda so it would not work as you describe.
>An ideal solution to this would have been to just go talk to the stakeholders - product/sales team - ask them if the delay could be potentially customer losing. And if it is, by all means put in the extra hours, work those weekends.

Strongly disagree, it's not on the shoulders of developers to ensure faulty promises can be kept. I will for sure not sacrifice weekends, this is far from ideal
Maybe you can try letting her getting scammed on small things, so that she can train her ability to discern scams. Before she get scammed on something huge. The best would probably be a game, game doesn't have a huge consequence, this is good for training.
Maybe some game like Resistance or The Werewolves of Millers Hollow.
Maybe she is in deny, that someone would think of taking advantage of someone else thrust. Would be curious to know if making her take advantage of someone else thrust trought a game (like one cited above), would help her evolve.
This is a beautiful write-up. And I don't wish to detract from the author's work. Nature's result side-by-side with that of the Machine. Makes one feel as though we've taken a step backwards from Alan Turing's "The Chemical Basis of Morphogenesis".

Consider the "morphogenetic puzzle" of a bi-valved seashell that shuts with perfect water-tight seal. There is a constraint to this design: survival!

What does it mean to "impose" their views?

Do you mean that car ownership is disincentivized by making people bear more of the cost of their car ownership?
Unrelated fun fact: Flushing was named after the Dutch city of Vlissingen, which was the European base of the Dutch West India company.
I predict the vast majority of people will never again understand that new decades, centuries, and millenia begin on January 1st of years ending in '1' and not '0' because there never was a Year 0. Everyone knew that 50 years ago, which is why Kubrick didn't call it '2000: A Space Odyssey.'
Two of the worst human rights disasters of the last 100 years are happening now: the conflict in Syria and displacement 20 million, and the Uyghur genocide.

I've thought about it a lot, and I don't know how anyone can ever topple the CCP when they control information so tightly. You could never create a large enough revolution with no organizing power.

The really scary thing is that control of information also means you can hide the murder of millions of people. We'll never know how many people the Nazis, the Ottomans, or the CCP kill, and our estimates might be off by millions.
Sure, but is continuing on the same thing a second lottery ticket? Or is it a new lottery althogether?
The EPA rating of electric vehicle range more accurately represents highway driving range than the WLTP rating which is geared toward stop and go city driving. Hence if you are doing long distance trips on the highway the EPA rating will more accurately represent your real life experience. For those used to gas mileage being worse in cities and better on highways with gas cars electric cars are largely opposite. Lower speeds use less energy in general.

Document the truth.

If you are employed and a product owner is required to give you your workload, you are kinda of stuck. The best you can do is illustrate (over time) that you are unable to get things done because of changing priorities.

Put together a collaborative document where you write what you understand to be your tasks. When a task changes or a new one is added, add a new entry with a date/time. Invite him to see it and ask him to bookmark it because you want to be clear on what you should be working on.

This is a good thing to have around review time as well, because you may be confronted with 'It doesn't seem like you are very productive'.

Also if it is possible that your priorities are not changing as much as you thought, this is a good exercise for yourself as well.
Well I was thinking of ifcvt when I mentioned a few special cases. Particularly things like minmax and abs are very specific.
> As a web developer, sending an 8 KB JSON response is no problem. That's nice and light. In a networked action game, that's absurd.

It depends on what that 8 KB is doing. If that 8 KB is a chat message, that's way too big. On the other hand, I've never seen an 8 KB game patch.

I'd like to stress that Italy is quite diverse throughout and not all us Italians resemble the stereotype. Happy new year.

The rainforest doesn't naturally burn down (clue is in the name "rain" forest) - it's being destroyed tree by tree by human action.

The Australian forest is much thinner and does experience some natural burning, but this one is much bigger due to climate change.

Also, both of these are bad.
So now you’re offering to put spam in spam?
Generally, the "reduced instruction set" in RISC refers to how many instructions are available to the programmer, i.e. not many, rather than the larger number of instructions it then takes to accomplish anything.

And the difficulty isn't really about exposing the internals, this isn't like a branch delay slot for instance. It's about making the relationship between instructions conceptually simple where there's always up to 2 inputs and up to one output. That doesn't help much in cases where the processor is doing something close to what the instructions are saying but it makes the simplest possible out of order processor, where the internals diverge wildly from the ISA, much easier to create.

EDIT: Also, the using C and compiling rather than doing assembly by hand is really a fundamental part of the whole RISC philosophy and RISC-V is just a more extreme form of that.
Yes, snapcast is really designed for audio streaming. For video it's not going to work (but surely for video cases you want something to stream both audio and video?).

Unfortunately my mother trained herself mostly (I do block a bunch of stuff at a DNS level though on her PC), she lives with me and umpteen times a week:

"Can you come here the computer/phone/ipad is saying something, have I been hacked"

- no, it's telling you that you have an email, no it's telling you that you are getting a call, no that's your other son asking you a question...

"How do I save something again"

- you've been working with computers longer than I've been alive... click the save button "where" the disk "where" or go to file save "where is file" points "I don't see it" my finger is touching it!!!

- Are you ^(!@#$@ kidding me

- Look at your paper, you've written this down three times

"How do I save something to my zip disk"

- You don't have a zip disk, you have a usb drive or a thumb drive, you've never had a zip disk, I've never had a zip disk, zip disks were stupid and still are and I don't understand why Amazon has them for sale for so much!

"can you print this for me at work"

- no, I've told you this 37 times, go to FedEx office with your usb drive, I'm not printing 173 pages of whatever that is and risk getting fired

I promise you, it's all a con. There's no way she doesn't know exactly what she's doing and just likes messing with me. I've showed her how to turn the volume up and down on her iPhone at least 100 times. You've got 3 buttons, figure it out mom! I swear I'm going to have a stroke or a heart attack one of these days while showing her how to do something for the 97th time.

My brother on the other hand... when he still lived close it felt like every other week I was reinstalling windows for him. He'd torrent everything, click any link, open ever attachment... eventually I just blocked obscene numbers of domains and ran him through a 'family safe' DNS filter. I don't know what he does now, I guess his teenage step son has to suffer through helping him.
if they call you, it's them who want something from you, right? So they can just bugger off.
My bank in Russia used to call me all the time to offer stuff, usually credits. I've ended up just blacklisting them. If there's anything wrong with my account they never call, they block the card and wait for me to call them

If you somehow don't think there will be accountability for an individual employee who misuses PII, we are living in two very different worlds.

You must understand that even a single employee doing this is such a breech of brand trust that Google would deal with it swiftly.

OTOH, it is quite clear to me that Google executives are allowed to make virtually unchecked and wide-reaching decisions that impact many and have negative consequences. A simple, unambiguous example is "the YouTube recommendation algorithm is bad for kids and seems to cause their exploitation" [1]

To be very clear: executives have the power to change the recommendation engine. To demonetize children's YouTube videos. They choose to be wreckless specifically out of greed.

That always baffles me with HSBC when they call and ask for personal information like DOB or other to confirm the identity. (The calls were legitimate.) I always tell them I won't provide the information, and then they ask me to call back. But why do they ask for it, when on the other hand they also recommend not to disclose any personal information to unknown parties (the phone number is not good enough verification), escapes me.

Thankfully they throw them into the truck. But the same heavy thing problem applies with bags too. A bag of wet restaurant trash can weigh upward of 50 lbs or 22.6 kg. And of course do you think all business owners buy strong quality trash bags? Half of them are ripped before they even make it to the curb and the rest are torn up by rats. Trash workers can't help these things. I worked with a small trash compactor company and owners skimping on bag quality was an issue.
I tell this to my in-laws as well, but they don't seem to understand the difference between hackers and privacy invaders. Yes, Apple and Google want to know you, but, in general they know they security stuff and won't try to fool you with it. But they think it's about the same as giving data to hackers that want to scam them. He thinks for example that using a Gmail address as an apple account makes it magically so that both companies now know everything about you. I have a hard time explaining the difference between security/data-protection and hacking.

In a way I understand them. Google wanting to track you is nefarious but still, the security from viruses/hackers/cryptolocking viruses is unmatched for a Chromebook or an iPad.

My own father wants privacy, has has Apple products, he doesn't want (i/any)Cloud, I buy him a Synology NAS saying the data is his, then Photos libraries go corrupt because the NAS does not have APFS attributes (damn thing works for months until it doesn't). What a nightmare. And I'm explaining all this to a man that doesn't really understand where his Browser ends and the internet starts. So he will wonder if his data is on his Macbook because he can see it in the browser logged into the Synolgy. And then he won't close the browser because the Synology is backing up... It's pretty complex if you think about it. I can understand all the distrust.
Then it's an obvious red flag if the parents know to always call, no matter what!
It is rarely possible to rule out that "something else" is the cause of a phenomenum. But the connection between rising temperatures and an exceptional dryness is quite obvious. So absent a very strong different explanation for the current dryness, climate change sounds like an important contributor if not the single cause.
Sort of. I go on the next project, but we let some contractors go at the end of the project. Ultimately I'm putting a computer on machines that were common in 1890:
there isn't much innovation to add that previous engineers couldn't think of. We can get larger than past generations, a little more accurate and reliable: but in the end the designs from 1890 weren't that much worse that today's.

"Fracking also allows america to place economic pressure to some countries like Russian (by lowering the price of their primary export)."

I read about a different Russian interpretation: The increased gas consumption and gas infrastructure is good since it increases the dependence on gas. Fracking won't last and in the end Russian Gas companies will be the last man standing.
It is (almost) the same for every city, if you compare driving times from suburbs to city centre. The reason is that city train/metro/tram needs to stop on 15+ stations before reaching the inner city.

Still, to me, train is superior - I can just sit and relax. Driving is much more tiring. 15 minutes or so difference is not worth it.
This actually sounds a lot like Kanban.
