Imagine something like a dangerous situation -- there is an oncoming fire or flood, and you need to get out of there, but your self-driving car decides to do a precautionary stop because one of the sensors stopped working. People are totally underestimating the intelligence required to make these types of decisions. Surrendering your mobility to a program is a much bigger hurdle than people think, and the bar is much higher than being able to successfully avoid collisions.
I think Ghaddafi's soldiers defected because he ordered them to shoot up a non-violent protest in Benghazi, killing at least 500 unarmed civillians. That's when the protests turned into an armed insurgency, and Ghaddafi's supporters began leaving to join said insurgency.
Thanks, I understand your point.

Without a doubt short term, it is good to be able to inflate the currency when there is a 2007/2008 event. But the counter argument is that making many ‘best for the short term decisions’ can cause more damage in the long run. Do we want the best world for our lifetime, or plan for something that is sustainable so our grandchildren’s children will have a great life.

Native American Indians believe that major decisions should be made for what is best for the seventh generation after them.
I was disappointed to see that the authors have decided to keep it closed source for now. Has anyone done a security audit of it?
One really nice thing about older manuals is that they describe the entire system since releasing it was a hassle. I wish more web framework has as good of manuals instead of half the api being 'will document'.
You didn't make a counter argument. You said the people were nice. I agreed, but said that doesn't matter, because plenty of nice people are part of terrible systems.

A tuple is the generic term for a pair, triple, etc. It's a collection of data of heterogeneous types, unlike an array which is homogeneous. When the members are unnamed, the data is indexed by its position like an array.

E.g. a method could return an unnamed tuple ("foo", 7) which might have type (String, int).

In some languages like ML, having tuples is such a fundamental part of the language that things like functions always act on a single argument which is actually just a tuple. So max(5, 5) is a function that takes a tuple of two ints as its parameter.

When you have tuples as a first-class concept, you can start to do some interesting shortcuts like:

(b, a) = (a, b); // swap two variables with no intermediate

or

String (first, last) = name;

This is called deconstruction, where you extract a tuple into variables representing its members. This is common in a ton of languages (Typescript, C#, ML, Scala, Python, etc). It also forms a cornerstone of pattern matching expressions in some languages (Scala, Haskell) where you can create a condition and simultaneously assign the data you care about to variables that can then be used in that branch. Scala pseudocode:

sum(list: ConsList<int>) {
return list match {
Empty(): 0;
Node(first, rest): first + sum(rest);
}
}
This presumes a car with logical abilities that would negate the need for infrastructure to "meet it halfway."
>Image if it was Germany that used sanctions to prevent the US from building a pipeline to Mexico. Would you be ok with that?

On the other hand, imagine that you're Canada and the US decides to build a pipeline to China/North Korea. Would you want Germany to back you up against the US? Because that's what's happening with Nord Stream 2. The US got into the whole thing quite late. Other European countries, such as Poland, Denmark, Estonia and others, were already against the pipeline, but Germany pushed it through anyway. Germany and Russia cooperated on dividing up Europe before.

This is correct.

However, most people will not be able to trade at the XE quoted rates. Just try to go to your back and exchange. The price reported on CMP are what any random person can get, for real, using the crypto exchanges - without complicated paperwork. Without delay. With a separate bid and ask, instead of reporting a theoretical midpoint.

Also, the API is fully free. Anytime. Any volume of request. Commercial purposes included. No questions asked.

So yeah, that's currently smaller, but I think it is closer to what people and especially developers really care or need - the big fiat pairs, and true rates, without Terms-Of-Service.
I wish people wouldn't invoke useful idiot that often. It degrades the message to "everyone with a different point of view is an idiot, who doesn't realise they're being used". That's not a great message on a discussion board and rarely will lead to something constructive. And if you really hold that opinion and can put some irrefutable reasoning behind it... why not do that instead?
A DLR train has a trained operator, they just aren't (usually) driving. A few places have trains with nobody trained onboard at all. In the event of an emergency remote operators can talk to the passengers e.g. to explain that somebody will come to help or that it has been made safe for them to evacuate (automated trains are invariably electric so it may not be safe to just wander off the train outside a station).
I don’t have Rikard’s book in front of me, but from memory I think he was saying that the price of gold would adjust to $10K/ounce if currency were 20% backed by gold, but the price of gold would have to be much higher than $10K/ounce if currencies were 100% backed by gold.

I don’t invest in gold, I have always thought that income property is the best investment for common people like myself. Rikard has a different opinion and thinks people should own gold in their portfolio (like 5% gold). I don’t understand the gold market, while income property is easier to understand.
It won't likely trigger a nuclear war. It would trigger a conventional war that would see NATO forces directly confront the Russian military and attempt to push it back out of the Baltics (and try to inflict severe damage if Russia refuses).

Neither side with nukes would be fighting for survival and would not jump to nuclear threats or exchange until or unless their own existing territory was at risk of annexation / loss.

Russia would shift to a nuclear warning posture if pushed back to their borders. If NATO pursued and threatened territory taking, Russia would threaten nuclear response at that point, especially if it was in a particularly weakened condition or believed it couldn't hold its ground.

On the NATO side, there's practically no threat of the US, France or the UK losing territory to Russia in a Baltic-focused conflict (or in Eastern Europe for that matter). To draw a nuclear threat from NATO would similarly require the nuclear powers to be under threat of losing their own territory (and they'd probably have to believe they can't hold their ground). The UK isn't killing ten plus million of its people in a nuclear exchange with Russia for the sake of Estonia, Latvia or Lithuania's territorial integrity as nation-states.

I think the only way that gets nuclear is if Russia plays the crazy card and proclaims that it now regards the annexed Baltic territory as its own and puts up the nuclear warning then and there (move in, take territory, immediately raise the crazy nuclear flag, test the resolve & risk aversion of the other side to respond militarily once the nuclear flag is out of the box). Then NATO has to decide if it believes Russia will actually act crazy.
If the Astros were using the standard public TV camera view, why can't there be some real time image analysis that blurs the signs? If we can instantly recognize millions of faces, it seems pretty simple to blur a catcher's hands when making a sign.

Whats your next step? Perhaps put a version of snake in there. That will provoke input/output etc... I'd suggest text mode first but then aim for VGA and beyond.

If you want a bigger challenge, implement serial port I/O so you could hook it via virtualbox etc to another running machine and network your snake game etc.

Then from there dig into ethernet and use raw ethernet or even UDP. Now you have a full working network client from the ground up.
> Not only will the tech get as good as humans

[citation needed]

It's possible, sure. But it only seems likely to me because I grew up in an age of rapid progress in information technology. History, though, has plenty of examples of technological plateaus and regressions. To people in the 1970s, it seemed obvious that by 2000 they could vacation on the moon. But the rapid progress of the space race quickly dwindled; the problems were harder than we thought and the rewards smaller.

The notion that we can make a computer as smart as a human is one of those things that seems like it will be just around the corner. But it seemed that way 50 years ago, too. E.g. HAL from 2001. It's perfectly possible that humans aren't able to make anything smarter than themselves. Judging by most of the software I use, we're barely able to make things much dumber than ourselves.
The subtitle gives away the issue. They make biology easier to scale. The one and only one way to do that is to reduce complexity. They have some method that works in a restricted case. That is the benefit and deficit of using the platform. From working on flow cytometry software for >3 years I can say that has to be the case.

Oh yes, it says "Wedgehead" right now. That's the name of a real location. Sometimes we cycle out that placeholder to say a different name of a cool new venue.

FYI: Wedgehead is a venue in Portland, Oregon. The business's name is a reference to a specific style of electro-mechanical pinball machine that was around in the '60s and '70s. The shape of the backbox was sort of a wedge. Wedgeheads were always (as far as I know) single player machines, and were generally made by Gottlieb and Chicago Coin. See the machine that is second to the right here: https://i1.pinside.com/5/c2/5c2420372fb8beda178cbbef6e605a0b...

Anyway, we're changing "Location" to say "Venue", and will push the change soon. It is a wise suggestion!
In discussing this with others I’ve found the same sentiment about moving if they can keep the same salary. But then I ask do they expect the inevitable next job after the current one to also offer the same salary? Unlikely. There are tons of great reasons to leave CA for jobs elsewhere, money shouldn’t be the reason.

These have always impressed me. Was surprised the first time when I learned it's actually really simply machinery that solved an important problem. (Albeit a problem I had never even considered. Gotta be able to aim at what you can see!)
More then solving problems, common sense involves identifying a problem as a problem. Unknown unknowns.

Just kidding around really, but I have to imagine that pockets of circular water currents like this, are more common than we would think.

We just can’t easily observe the dynamics of water flow until something like this happens, where a bunch of ice builds up and makes it obvious.

> If something appears “impossible” to you... there’s no information there about whether it is possible.

I agree that an argument from personal incredulity is generally not a good one. But that doesn't mean we can't demonstrate that things are very unlikely to happen. E.g., there's good reason to think that perpetual motion machines are impossible.

It's also important to realize that "possible" in a colloquial sense often doesn't mean "having an non-zero chance of happening before the heat death of the universe". When people are asking whether self-driving cars are possible, they clearly are asking with implicit constraints on where, when, and how.

In that context, we can have quite a lot of information about how possible something is. E.g., Elon Musk predicted that Tesla would have one million robotaxis on the road by the end of 2020. Rodney Brooks, AI expert and iRobot founder, thinks that's impossible, and I agree. https://rodneybrooks.com/predictions-scorecard-2020-january-...
There are robo advisors who will buy the individual securities in indices for you, as long as you have enough invested with them (50k? I forget). But the only advantage over simply buying the fund AFAIK is being able to tax loss harvest from the higher volatility of individual securities. Eg, if your two-security index has stock A go down 5% and stock B go up 6%,an index fund would simoly go up 1% while the actual basket would allow harvesting the losses from stock A.

As far as I can tell, this is a fairly minor advantage, and if I wasn't using a robo-advisor, i certainly wouldn't be managing the basket directly just for this ability.

the euro has other issues, including dismal growth rates of the Euro area, an ineffective ECB, multiple diverging national financial strategies, and very long term, the massive ageing and shrinking of the european population. i don't see the Euro as anything but a very short term panacea. it needs to solve its structural issues before it can become more than it is.

>This sort of speculation harms the argument for climate change more than it helps it.

What? Do you get mad at people for saying "it looks like rain"?
That's obviously not what the parent comment is talking about, since they're holding it in contrast to index funds. They're talking about directly holding the securities involved.

Roboadvisors do actually offer this if you have enough money. The only advantage AFAIK is being able to tax loss harvest the greater volatility from individual securities.
No, but an admission that they haven’t taken time to think about how to make money = absence of business plan.
Yup. Outrage and emotion coupled with ignorance seems to be the modern formula to get votes. Add to that the weaponization of social media and we have awesome election-winning technology.
100% agree. I always get the best rate by picking up the phone and talking to my relationship manager at my bank.
I ad-block everything I possibly can, or pay for non-ad versions of media, and I don't think I'm missing out on anything.

Obviously I can't block everything, but I'm having trouble coming up with some kind of improvement to my life that not ad-blocking would bring me.
> It objectively the case that salaries vary with profits.

Salaries are a function of the perceived value of the particular employee to the company. If the salary is too low, he'll be poached by another company. If it's too high, he's likely to be laid off or otherwise pushed out.

For example, if an employee contributes $100 in value to the company, his ideal compensation would be $100 minus the opportunity cost of the money, which is about $15.

This has nothing to do with the profit of the company as a whole.

It is true that companies often have a lot of difficulty computing what the actual dollar value of a particular employee is, but there is no doubt that the company will do badly if it gets it too far wrong too many times.

Companies falling on hard times that try to cut salaries across the board (or limit raises, same thing) do so at great peril - the underpaid (relative to their contribution) employees leave and the overpaid stay. I.e. this can result in a vicious death spiral. A much harder, but far more effective strategy is to identify the overpaid ones and get rid of them.

The medium article keeps jumping around explaining global vs local, blight and health risks. What exactly is it saying again?

My summary is that there are "economical" (farming failing due to blight, etc) and "health" (whatever the hell they talk about proteins in chemical pathways).

I'm not particularly worried about the economical effects, in part because I am reasonably confident that we don't have to "solve gravity" because we can't grow wheat.

Health concerns, of course, are legitimate. It's getting more and more clear that glyphosate is a carcinogen, and all deliberate efforts by big botany to suppress this research should be condemned. But to say the "proteins" in your diet are harmful to you is a stretch. There might be some effects, but that's not a given.

Ingested proteins typically do not directly participate in any chemical pathways that don't involve their degradation (exceptions exist like prions). We are gaining more insight into how our immune systems can indeed be reprogrammed by some proteins in our diet but that's still a stretch that one new modification in one of ten thousand proteins in a plant you eat is gonna screw your body.

Also remember mad cow disease? That was caused purely by shitty factory farming, no GMO needed. Most (not all) worries about GMO is just misplaced fear mongering, and it only serves to squash any legitimate conversation about it lest a sane individual gets grouped with insane posse. What do you think of this argument?

Yes I get this too! Not so much with podcasts, but with concepts and things I’ve learnt. For example, when I think of the Python framework Flask or the iOS autolayout framework, I get vivid visuals of where I was when I was first trying them out or debugging some issue.

> Members only but anyone can become member.

We only list publicly-accessible locations, but "public" can be very very tricky to define. This place seems to count because anyone can become a member (so it's basically equivalent to paying an entrance fee). There are also some members-only places that open up to the public once a month. I consider those to be barely public.
