I am a long-term customer (Colocation and dedicated servers) of M247.ro (I am from Germany) and I am more than happy with their service. They are super reliable, reputable, flexible and their support is fast, friendly and gets the job done.

I can vouch for them and don't think they have anything to do with what you accuse them of. They are just a big company with a lot of locations, which makes it fairly easy for VPN companies to get started.

Regarding the IP addresses... They announce IPs for free, which is a very nice service (some providers charge absurd amounts for it). They also do it for my company, so my IPs show up under their ASN, but this is nothing shady and just regular business.
And those unexpected situations are not edge cases either. Virtually every time you drive you’ll encounter a novel case that has never been seen before. Your human brain is good at improvising. Computers? Not so much...
>Tesla should just build another factory in China.

Yeah, maybe they can build one in Xianjiang for cheaper labour. Why bother with laws?
Or you don't monocrop. Plant legumes along with your cereal crops and shift focus from extracting value from the soil to cultivating soil health/wealth.

Your framing of the issues seems so far removed from the rest of the discussion that I can only assume I’m misunderstanding your point. Could you elaborate?
this might be true for the US, but in many parts of europe, roads are far more crowded. not to mention this doesn't solve the last mile problem.
Why spend so much money and resources to make monocropping feasible? Just accept that it’s an unsustainable way to produce food for a growing human population.

If a fraction of that money went towards research of alternative agricultural practices, we wouldn’t have to worry about how to produce more nitrogen while simultaneously dealing with the detrimental effects of nitrogen pollution, as we are currently
I think the point most guides overlook consists of the internal semantics of using a Zettelkasten, Luhmann essentially used it to create a paragraph (Zettel) & subchapter (Zettel Sequence, but note they of course sometimes he'd not manage to fit an entire paragraph on one Zettel due to margin limitations) branching & branchable, recursively self-referential choose your own adventure hypertextbook, from which he'd then generate regular textbooks. Hence why he said that his books basically wrote themselves — to write a book, he'd 'just' enter the Zettelkasten, and copy out everything he'd already written there on the topic, picking between branches & branchings as he went back, forth & side-to-side within it. Hence why if one looks close, one can find Luhmann seemingly self-plagiarising paragraphs from books he'd previously written. I suspect a similar mechanic sits behind the (in this sense very ignorant) accusations of self-plagiarism against Slavoj Zizek.

As such, one might wish to instead consider using Hypertext Fiction tools for creating a Zettelkasten, such these two (proprietary software, Mac OS X only, unfortunately):

Note that there exists an EXTREMELY useful plugin for Tinderbox which implements Stretchtext:

Now gimme a combination of what roamresearch.com does with the above, but using the data structure of Hode:

https://github.com/JeffreyBenjaminBrown/hode

But with support for zzstructure like hyperthogonality:

https://github.com/JeffreyBenjaminBrown/digraphs-with-text/i...

And secretly use the patching patches feature of pijul.org in the background so version control actually becomes sanely doable, throw in elastic tab stop support, and maybe an entire kitchensink in which someone let a mixture of ChrysaLisp, SmallTalk, Hazel, Scala 3, /r/nosyntax, Inferno, RINA, GNUnet, & every single proof assistant and theorem prover sit for a tad bit long, and then MAYBE we can stop living in the dark ages of computing.

While I agree that using AI to rank the candidates based on their responses to pre-recorded videos is dystopian, I would like to point out that it only works in the environments where:

a) The supply of candidates greatly outweighs demand.

b) There is no clear way to assess the individual candidate's impact on the business' ability to make money, and the employees are essentially commoditized.

These environments have been known to be toxic for a while: filtering people based on bullshit 20-page personality questionnaires, managers hiring the most desperate ones who would tolerate the most humiliation from them, while every part of the process trying to a wink-wink nudge-nudge to others in order to land their nephew on a cushy position.

While AI definitely starts another round in the battle, I would advise anyone who's sick of this bullshit to focus on the economic output of their prospective position. If a company is looking for an AI engineer that can halve the size of their inference model without losing more than 1% of accuracy, they won't waste time scoring your story about your weak sides. They will look at your thesis and hire you if you already did something similar. The problem is that most of the jobs these days are about sitting quiet in a friendly team and smiling when the CEO shows off the team to the next round of potential investors. But those jobs won't give you much growth, and will end your career once you don't look young and cool anymore.
Put the cars on rails, focus on the safety and switching systems. We don't need full AI, we just need to not have an individual human be solely responsible for the operation of the vehicle at all times.
Why? (Legitimately asking)
We may actually discover it’s cheaper or smarter to limit the scope of what self driving cars have to do by limiting their infrastructure. If cities become more pedestrian (cyclist, public transport) centric then some of the issues disappear. It would be a hell of a lot easier if you eliminate the complexities of navigating city traffic if most of it is gone or car traffic is completely separated from the rest. Either via a reduced number of tunnels, suspended roadway, or simply by reducing the number of places where cars and pedestrians cross paths.

Between vastly reducing car traffic and separating it from pedestrians the problem of fully self driving is greatly simplified (probably not eliminated).
Is self-driving the same as fully-automated? I think not.

Self-driving implies intelligence, and fully-automated trains simply follow rote rules, and apply the emergency brakes if something unexpected happens. Not intelligent.

Put another way, self-driving has unbounded complexity, while a fixed number of vehicles on a protected, grade-separated railway is not very complex at all.
No it's like renting a car for a daily rate to be returned any day by midnight, coming back to return the car at 11:45pm and having to wait till after midnight to pay and being expected to pay for another day. ( yes not perfect analogy, but same idea. You were ready to return it, and they were not )
Is the US building a pipeline to Mexico? Is Mexico a corrupt, authoritarian dictatorship that routinely interferes in Western politics? If my aunt had balls, would she be my uncle?
That is one of the problems if you have to hold share for example Enron because you track the index you have to hold it all the way down.

For a personal example from the UK one of my actively managed investment trusts sold out of banks before most of the share price crash happened a few years ago.
In a way they did. in the 1980s, Logo was popularly taught in elementary schools, and while lacking sexps, it was clearly inspired by Lisp in the way it was a functional language in the way the other popular teaching language BASIC clearly wasn't.
It's interesting to consider what would have happened had the US invested the money it spent on the interstate system on intercity rail instead.
> What's it build exactly?

For libraries, it builds an output with a concatenated FASL for all inputs (which reference the sources by their exact hash in the Nix store, which means that they will be distributed alongside).

For programs, it dumps an executable image (save-lisp-and-die with `:executable t`).

For `buildLisp.sbclWith` it creates an SBCL that loads an image pre-loaded with all the dependencies.

> Why would I use this over, say, Quicklisp?

Quicklisp is one small bit of the puzzle (the distribution of packages using ASDF).

Using Nix for the task replaces Quicklisp, ASDF, your distribution package manager used to install your Lisp, your distribution package manager used to install native dependencies of your Lisp code (e.g. cl+ssl with openssl[0]), your deployment tooling and generally your entire software packaging and distribution stack which leaves you with one homogeneous system that is easily composed across language boundaries.

> why do you need to specify all the .lisp files in the build(?) file?

I modeled this after the way Bazel rules are normally written, where specifying each source file is common. In fact, ASDF does this too.

Also, a stake in the ground on the edge of the road that says, I'm 15 feet to the right of the center lane will probably pay for itself in a couple years of stripping. You put two in the ground that say, I'm 15 feet to the right of the centerline and 35 feet from the next beacon and you never have to paint a centerline there again.
Use "checkinstall" instead of "make install". It builds and installs packages automatically.
This just reminds me of how many times I've been told things like "you can't use that java code that is open source and working and does exactly what we want - we're a python shop!" and other such nonsenses.

I'm always amazed at how people have strong feelings for the tools/languages, rather than what they do and how they can help you. Even in this example, the Google person didn't even ask what they wanted to use Lisp for.

People I guess just really like rewriting software in different languages?

US opposition to a pipeline to Russia is confined to a small group of people who are strangely very friendly to Russia on all other matters. There is no widespread or popular opposition to Germany building a pipeline to Russia in the United States.

This doesn't really treat with the dollar-denominated world economy but I wanted to point this out to differentiate the current irrational foreign policy of the US government from the subject at hand.
It can work with Nginx Ingress actually, to the point you can even run cert-manager in minikube and live traffic. This is ideal if you're running locally, at home, at work, in a hotel room at a conference, at a customer site. You'll get a public and stable IP. A NodePort is good if you are hosting on public cloud already.
This is still a solved problem in many European cities. Train stations are often in the city centre, or on the edge of it. They almost always connect with either metro or bus networks, typically with frequent services.
... iTunes became a bucket of too many features, so apple split it up into multiple applications. Apple music is pretty much exactly the same as iTunes was without a bunch of non-music related features. It's silly to say ~"iTunes died" it just changed names.

>It's in Tesla's best interests to be a good corporate citizen, and they (in my opinion) walk the walk.

In which way are Tesla considered "good corporate citizens"? They are anti-union, not paying taxes in Nevada, being sued for racist environment in their factories, not fulfilling their obligations in Buffalo. I don't even feel like looking up other ones.

They'd be lucky to be called "average" corporate citizens. Can you give examples of how they are "good"?
Again, that's a personal preference.

Next, Previous, Pause, Play, Mute - I personally want them to be physical controls. On steering wheel ideally, on the dashboard otherwise. I use them multiple times a drive, and I don't want to take my eyes off the road to do them.

Same with seat heat, lights, wipers - anything I may want to do while driving, I want a button.

Setting up the exact shade of my dashboard light - that can be buried in a menu :D

Basically... when you say "Crazy how many buttons my normal car has" :

- You say that as a bad thing

- I see that as a brilliant thing... IFF done well:

Of course, physical buttons/levers/knobs can still be done well, or poorly.

Having many identical buttons in a confusing layout is just as bad as touchscreen - I have to look at them to use them.

Having buttons in a good, intuitive layout; especially buttons which are distinct from each other, as opposed to row of 6 buttons all the same, is brilliant. Even better if it's a distinct combination of buttons, knobs, switches, levers, etc - anything to help haptic feedback and intuitive access. Sometimes I think people who are against buttons may simply never had a car with good physical UI:/

(simple thing - my old 2004 WRX has a next / previous knob-like-thing, rather than two identical buttons next to each other [1]. It felt ridiculous when I first saw it - but then I realized its quality of purpose vs sexiness - I never ever ever have to think or be distracted even a millisecond to know exactly how to skip a song :). Compare to cars which have several identical square buttons for next, previous, pause, play; or temp up, temp down, fan up, fan down, A/C -- that's just horrible UI by clueless people for customers who don't know / haven't experienced better :-/ ]

It was quite clear to many of us that autonomous driving at a certain level is a very hard goal to reach, but it may happen in the long run. However what is incredible is that actually a form of AD, that is public transportation, is available for centuries yet in many places in the world this option is ignored. Guess why? The key is in the "public" part.
Insurance would be a nightmare for a manufacturer. Every accident will initially be pegged to the auto maker (as it should be.. it’s their code!). The auto maker will always try to weasel out and blame the passenger-owners of the car (they didn’t maintain it, the paint was dirty and messed with the sensors, the tire pressure was 2 PSI lower than average).

And if you go with the “nobody will own cars, you’ll just summon one” model... well the fleet owner will just sue the manufacturer instead.
This doesn't answer your question about money, but with (mostly) human drivers on the road there isn't much incentive to keep the lines visible, because humans are excellent at inferring where the lines should be, even if they're not there.
Trains kind of suck though. I used them a lot in the UK because I didn't have a car. The UK has an OK train network.

The problem with trains is that they are very, very inconvenient for most journeys. Sunday evening? forget it. After 11pm? Nope. Journey that runs perpendicular to the local line to London? Lol, enjoy a 5 hour journey to go 100 miles. Want to take cargo like a new washing machine? Lol. Want to go somewhere that's not near a station by bus? Enjoy Journey times that are 4, 5 or 10 times slower than a car.

Trains are good for busy commuter lines and nothing else.
"Paint is a wear item, the example of beacons would not be a wear item"

I am extremely skeptical that beacons, sitting out in the heat, and the sun, and the cold, and the rain, and exposed to whatever we use to maintain roads at that juncture, will not be "a wear item".
The Middle East Isn’t Worth It Anymore
This kind of thing has been proposed but you can easily end up in a situation where the device uses 2c of electricity to mine 1c and then you'd be better off preloading the device with, say, ten years worth of currency instead of mining.
Much better example. Thanks.
> For a human its trivial to know the box is empty and its ok to hit it....does "AI" know that?

This is a great anecdote that definitely needs a source to back it up.

Primarily, there are a significant number of single vehicle accidents caused by drivers jerking the wheel instead of acting in a calm manner.

Secondly, there are many cases where a box is not safe to ignore; that could mean it damaging a fog light, a large staple in it hitting a tire, or it getting stuck somewhere, temporary loss of traction or visibility.

In conclusion; anything on the road should be treated as something to avoid, but definitely something to avoid a high speed collision with.

Other Anecdotes to consider: The first model S firs was caused by a trailer hitch in the road. Hammer hit a model 3. Asphalt coming loose in slabs and hitting a driver. Mattresses and ice from the roof in front of you. Tldr; There are many accidents that do happen with human drivers.
Assuming all those devices have means to communicate state and receive commands, that would be easy enough to do with Home Assistant.
The funding for this research is minuscule fraction compared to the agriculture industry. Exploring this part of the potential solution space is worthwhile, even if it doesn’t end up being the best way forward. We need to look into all the options to have a chance at finding out what works best. This article is actually about research of an an alternative agricultural process so it’s odd to naysay it in the same comment.
If it's mandatory then make it a tax, like every other thing. This is kind of in limbo between tax and "you're not really obligated to pay, it's not illegal not to pay, but if you don't pay the state allow it to be processed by debt collectors".

It's like if you received a letter asking you 10 euros a month for building schools, another 15 euros for building new public buses, another 15 for a new train line. All these things are taken from your salary before it even reaches your bank account so why is this tv/radio thing any other way? We're already paying insane amount of tax in gerrmany, asking for 17 euros per months for thing like this on the side is an insult.

Most plants don't contain much protein. The exceptions are legumes (which I believe are also the nitrogen fixers) and nuts -- but even then, the high-protein content is the seeds, not the plant.

Where animals are made of protein, plants are made of carbohydrates. They're a different form of life.

Don't be fooled by the Whole Foods post claiming "yes, plants have protein". ( https://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/blog/whole-story/yes-plants... ) They proudly tell you that broccoli has more protein per calorie than steak. That's true. Broccoli also has about 10% the protein content of steak by mass. Steak is an efficient food with a lot of calories. Broccoli is a plant.
On the subject of education, pg links to a great story on Scheme (a Lisp 1) in education [1] from his essay "Beating the Averages" [2]. The story references a book, "A Schemer's Guide" that is a good Scheme/Lisp or programming learning reference [3].

If you know folks learning programming for the first time and maybe struggling with Java or whatever they're using, these references may help. Sometimes you just need to see things like recursion or currying in a different way for it to click.

>>But there is some evidence that I’m not alone.

Oh, absolutely - as I said, I'm in a minority.

But I feel a lot of it is:
Sexiness of how it looks
vs
Practicality of usage

The problem is, sexiness is immediately obvious & attractive. Practicality takes a long time and active observation to notice and appreciate. I fear that touchscreens with bad UI will win; though I hope eventually there may be some backlash from consumers - or at least thought and compromise from manufacturers. :-/
Back when I was younger all the UK Dairies used electric milk floats for deliveries direct to the consumer.

The healthcare costs for insurance in the US don't include the costs of actually visiting the doctor or getting medicine. You still have to pay for those, amount dependent on the terms of your plan.

For example, a routine doctor's office visit can cost hundreds in addition to the monthly fee you pay.

Last year I paid $300/month for my medicine, in addition to other costs.
> All of this discussion on smart infrastructure is moot, imho, because it won't be guaranteed to be there on all roads and cars will have to be designed to work even when the smart infrastructure breaks down.

Also, a vast majority of the world doesn't even have proper roads like many western countries do.

In many parts of the world a road is not even paved or asphalted, and let's not forget what is actually making use of that road.

Seeing animals on roads might be a rare sight in a western country, but in much of the world, the road is shared by more then just passenger cars and trucks.

In terms of articles, I'm using inoreader.com with feeds related to News, both US + World. Inoreader lets me download articles via JSON, then I search through them and decide which one to publish. Sometimes I alter headlines, but not to drive an agenda, but rather to feed the narrative, like if first article is about Trump, second one doesn't need to have his name in the title anymore; you can simply follow without mentioning his name.

Example re: National Archives:

- National Archives exhibit blurs images critical of President Trump...

- Forced to apologize for blurring anti-Trump rally signs...

So second article doesn't need the National Archives being mentioned.

Here is a simple admin panel screenshot: https://ibb.co/yPQ0XZz

It's also worth noting, if you look at that article, that Tokyo has managed to build sufficiently. Up works as well as out.

But up vs out is a needless confrontation. Up and out should be allowed. Up in lots of places requires rezoning or relaxation of zoning rules.
