Well, users who have perfect knowledge of their domain, of what they do and why, can't get arsed to learn to code and do it themselves when any monkey can do that.

It is almost like people have different domains of expertise because getting those skills takes time an effort, and specialists will always run circles around generalists in any non-trivial domain.
Please explain, how is the total energy capacity of the whole battery in any way relevant to this discussion?
OK, that's useful... how's your experience in the real world? I'm eager to check it out :)

Intro to Smart Plugs
Yes, with the added bonus of tax money going into advertiser’s pockets!
No one is really arguing that it is. What people object to is the proposition that it is a tenable state of affairs to allow finances to act as a proxy for outreach via disparity in the accessibility of cash.

Get your message out by all means, however, our government is too important to be left to the whims of the free market in terms of deciding who amongst us is going to be running it.

There cannot be an equal opportunity platform when everything degenerates to "the richest guy wins the contest for mindshare". If everyone were working out of the same pool, and using the same avenues for outreach, you'd have a much easier time of it regulating the current wild west of mass media outreach for political purposes, and purportedly a much more effective one-stop shop where people could actually go to become informed on what can auditable be sourced to a campaign.

Least that's the drift I'm picking up.
You could put it in a pocket.
I've used Hangouts since it was Google talk and used xmpp. I used several different multi protocol programs to connect to Google talk, Microsoft messenger, ICQ at the same time. Things where different back then.

Now I try to get as many as possible to get away from at least Google and Facebook services.
If price goes up or down is complex. In an area that has a small amount of demand stopping building ensures that those who want to live there have to keep bidding higher. If those who want to live there have a lot of money only a few people who want to live there but don't can push prices up greatly. It may well be that the area only needs to build a small number of units to fill demand, and additional units will need to lower prices to get a buyer. Supply is limited of course, but so is demand - I wouldn't take a free house in the Bay Area as my job is several time zones away and so the free house is still a net cost to me (if only to replace the roof ever 30 years)
An Introduction to Report-URI
I'm a commandline person and often prefer to use something from Homebrew instead of the graphical equivalent. I've got a dozen or so packages (besides whatever is installed via brew cask) and it's going well for me. If you reply with the output of "brew list", I have no problem with installing and testing packages you require.
Yeah, but I feel like any removal or reduction of prop 13 should be used to help reduce California income taxes, which is abnormally high due to prop 13, not spend more money on stuff.
I think what's most telling is the twin study of WSJ and Fox. They both feed up into News Corp, so the top-down institutional biases are the same, and yet one is respected and the other is not.
worthless article ... if you believe the title.

this has almost nothing to do with bootstrapping per se. i don't know if the author is confused about it or just trying to draw clicks. decidedly untrue statements like 'For the first time in 40 years, the tide is starting to change' and 'when starting an enterprise' don't help. the fact that the specific business being discussed is almost certainly not one that could attract VC money anyway also doesn't help the author.

a title that would make this article more reasonable is 'from side hustle to a viable one-man business in 6 years'.

well, it's not specifically about side hustles either but it is reasonable albeit generic advice for one-man shops (possibly with some replaceable helper employees), for niche services such as skylight installer, gutter installer, ikea assembler, or as in this case, a subscription based marketplace for very tiny yet viable markets that can't be serviced adequately by large platforms.
That is the case in California. If you own property zoned residential and apply for a fully compliant building permit then it will almost always be approved (although fees may be high). Developers and property owners generally only run into long delays and battles with neighbors when they request variances or zoning changes.
There are some good common sense recommendations on the general development and then there are basically linter rules. The rules may be more restrictive than others but makes sense for a language such as C and the application is being used. But all this rules can be implemented by a linter and a short checklist. http://caxapa.ru/thumbs/468328/misra-c-2004.pdf
You're right that I do not share your vision, but I disagree with your diagnosis as to why.

Given that I find what you propose to be so anathema, I feel compelled to clarify what your position is, in case our disagreement is resulting from a misunderstanding rather than a conflict of visions.

What I hear you as saying is that given the wealth available in our society, those who do not wish to work (even if they could) should not have to. The minority who do wish to continue working shall hopefully be productive enough to continue to provide this wealth (and indeed, increase the wealth available) and gladly share it with everyone. If the productive minority are less than willing to share the bulk of the fruits of their labor, It is acceptable to take it by force and without offering them something of value in exchange.

Such a system not merely immoral but nonsense. It assumes our great wealth as a given, when it should be obvious that such is not the case. History has shown many other times of great wealth and surplus, only to be followed by collapse. There is no magic line of societal wealth that, once surpassed, renders us immune from disaster. In such a case, those in who lived in a state of dependence will only hasten the collapse by trying ever harder to extract from those they depended on.

Now, if you were a Marxist concerned about workers not being compensated fairly for their labor, or a Christian concerned for those who could not care for themselves (the elderly, the infirm, orphans, etc.) then I would at least understand. But neither Marx nor the Apostles envisioned a society that supported people who were merely indolent.

Furthermore, that you would equate the use of force to steal another's property with the force used to defend said property is dishonest and abhorrent. And let's be clear: if you appropriate someone else's property when you have the choice not to (i.e. if you could work to provide it for yourself or offer something of value in exchange) then it is theft.
It is like voting, maybe with more steps, but with way more normalizing power because you can be very flexible in how you vote. As opposed to voting where you have to have the ability to actually exercise that right in a very narrow time constraint. And on top of that you're diminishing* the influence of people with much more money, since you're playing the game with the same tools.

*and I do mean diminish, not eliminate.

> How do you program around humans changing their behaviour to take advantage of there being no driver in your car?

I have another angle: Every "self driving" car becomes a rolling collection of evidence. Some jackass does a massively risky move to cut you off? Your camera captures it and you can send it to the police. Maybe even make a feature to detect it - "DANGEROUS/ASSHOLE DRIVER DETECTED" - and fire off the video complete with the license plate to the cops.

I fucking hate drivers who put others at risk. My feeling is less than one half of the population has an attention span necessary to drive. The other half are functionally retarded, behind the seat of a 3500lbs rolling weapon.
I'm also pretty sure it will increase commutes and this applies even if self-driving isn't fully door to door. There are probably a lot of people who would hesitate to do an hour car commute today who would be a lot more open to a 60 or even 90 minute commute of something else is doing the driving.
How much do you think rents would have gone up without more housing supply.
This message is not accurate IMO.

Basically, if the addon wants to interact with any kind of urls, this message is unavoidable. Which means that even if the addon doesn't require to access any data of the websites, as long as it wants to be triggered for any websites, this message is not going to be avoidable.

The tough thing is of course you are right. It's obviously in your best interest to vote against new housing if you own a house. But it's not in society's best interest.
> How are these numbers reconciled with other statements like 99% of the human genome is shared with Bonobos [1]

99% of any hominid genome - whether Neanderthal, Denisovan, or the "archaic" ancestor refererenced - is also shared with bonobos. The branching point with bonobos is at a much earlier stage of evolution, so all descendant branches have roughly the same affinity to them.

It's hard to fully understand the challenges of SDCs, because most of these players are extremely secretive about their approaches. The fact that we rely on disengagement data from California as some proxy, that's just not great data when so many of the players are doing 1000's of miles in other states. It's sad, I wish we knew more about the inner-workings of these systems, and I would love to see them collaborate for the benefit of society.
>All that stuff is critical to know as part of analysis.

Exactly. I wonder if the frustration to get started as soon as possible ultimately results in data models that aren't ready yet and therefore brittle (IOW: insufficient analysis and logical testing of the data models before UI and other process logic commenced).
It should be possible in most backends to get size information from the image at the time of uploading. A pair of integers shouldn't be a lot of data to store as metadata for your HTML rendering process.

That's perhaps the difference between me and others. I like getting prompted if software attempts to read my Documents folder. I've got about a dozen packages installed via brew cask, plus a handful from the Mac App Store. The first day, most of them prompted me once or twice, but that was about the extent of it.

It's basically like the prompts you get on iOS. I don't have a problem with these either.
I've thought for a while that The Boring Company is a hedge by Elon in case self-driving turns out to be unsolvable in a timely manner...

They are very similar architecturally and in terms of language features, to the point where someone with Object Pascal background would feel right at home. Also it was the first Microsoft visual UI design framework backed by a _real_ programming language.
People have been concerned for a while. Even before social media, there was a shift from what was widely perceived as a roughly balanced TV news media, to major news channels run by party donors and being quite clear that they were skewing the news for their benefit. These, along with even more obviously ideological web sites and social media bubbles, were causing "epistemic closure" that helped people believe even the most obvious falsehoods.

It's true that this ratcheted up to 11 in the last major election, and was co-opted by somebody outside of the establishment. In the end, the establishment pivoted, and are getting nearly all of their goals met. More, in fact, than under their own plans. So they're pretty happy about it, and see it more as an innovation for their benefit than as a violation.

I don't mean to be picking sides here. In theory, the same tools are available to their opponents, and I'm sure they're trying to. In practice, I suspect that they will not fare as well using the same techniques. They'll continue to develop others, just as they had used social media innovatively in the past two.
Upwork, fiverr, freelancer also have jobs posted which are for fake reviews, even though the job description is cleverly disguised as a a blog post or some other innocent thing.
Abstract at: https://www.amazon.science/publications/millions-of-tiny-dat...

> ...Physalia is a transactional key-value store, optimized for use in large-scale cloud control planes, which takes advantage of knowledge of transaction patterns and infrastructure design to offer both high availability and strong consistency to millions of clients. Physalia uses its knowledge of data center topology to place data where it is most likely to be available. Instead of being highly available for all keys to all clients, Physalia focuses on being extremely available for only the keys it knows each client needs, from the perspective of that client.

> ...We believe that the same patterns, and approach to design, are widely applicable to distributed systems problems like control planes,configuration management, and service discovery.

It'd be interesting to constrast this approach with Route53's or IAM's datastore which need to be globally-replicated with time-bounded eventually-consistent reads, and transactional but verifiable writes.

I hope AWS begins publishing about S3, now. One can look at the patents AWS engineers author to get a feel for some of the internals, but they are (intentionally?) hard to read.

For instance, patents filed by two of the many S3 founding-engineers: https://patents.google.com/?inventor=James+Christopher+Soren...

Or the city an decide that the cost of upgrading are more than the future values of the additional units and not upgrade. Some upgrades in capacity have significantly higher costs than others. If the current system is the largest that can physically fit on the land the city owns they need to buy more land first. If they won't get a lot of new development it is better to stay just below capacity.

The above doesn't apply to the cities in CA we are talking about: there is plenty of demand. It does apply to some semi-rural small towns.
There are many brand TLDs but few companies seem to actually be using them.

Golden Tips – Before you start Startup to escape the queue of failed
Ah. Flowcharts were all you mentioned, so I assumed (bad move) that they were all you did.

Depending on what exactly you are doing, parts of UML might be better. It lets you describe different aspects with different diagrams, so that, if one kind of diagram is sub-optimal for showing some aspect of what's going on, another kind might be better.
The juicy bits:

"From all of these benchmarks, the geometric mean does show that the Windows 10 Enterprise does perform better than Windows 10 Professional on this HEDT processor particularly at 32 cores and above. Going from 16 to 128 threads on Clear Linux was 3.3x the performance with the tested software to Windows 10 Enterprise at 2.7x. At 16 cores, Linux was just 7% faster than Windows 10 Enterprise with these benchmarks but when taking full advantage of the chip at 64 cores + SMT, Linux was 29% faster. Going from 64 to 128 threads with SMT on Linux led to a 15% boost while Windows 10 Enterprise saw just a 7% boost overall. So, yes, for those wishing to take full advantage of the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3990X, so far Linux is offering much better performance assuming your software is natively supported outside of Windows."
You seem to be misinterpreting what they meant by "old white people" to show this forum (and yourself?) how virtuous you are.
Use your body and mind creatively.

1. Bring in your other senses with music, sound, lyrics, take some cognitive load off the rational and put it into the physical.

2. Take naps, doze off...allow your mind to rest into a dissociative state. I make all kinds of technical realizations about my SQL code in the bathtub.
Because they are useful to do the "dirty" work. I realised that when I started running my company. There are good employees and bad ones. It's emotionally hard to fire the bad ones, but if we are separated by a few managers, it's easy to make the cold rational decision and let those managers do the rest.
>ut you'll need some hard code to describe how to react to either

My understanding is that's largely how it's done. The ML part is mostly about recognizing objects. But the car doesn't "learn" how to drive. It's told how to drive depending on what's happening in its field of view.

Which is why there's probably misperceptions about the importance of miles on the road. It uncovers un-programmed situations but it's not like the car runs over someone and reinforcement learning leads to it not doing that next time.
Yep, this project was basically worth it just for the fun of it.

Summary of a Wiki
So, my imagination is lacking, so let me make sure I've got this right: The main gravitational perturbation you're thinking of isn't interaction with other small satellites or Earth's varying density; a bigger effect is going to be because the Moon, which is also moving relative to everything else is also a part of the equation.

Out of curiosity, wouldn't atmospheric drag have a circularizing effect on eccentric orbits? I'd have guessed that, since drag is greatest when the satellite is at its perigee, it's going to have a much larger relative effect on the apogee.
I've been watching Lex Fridman's youtube podcast and there is a recent interview with Jim Keller [1]. Keller is a chip designer famous for his involvement in multiple chips at Intel, AMD, Apple and he was co-author of the x86-64 instruction set. He also worked for Tesla.

There is a point in the conversation where Lex and Jim clearly disagree about how "easy" self-driving AI should be. Lex is clearly pessimistic and Jim is clearly optimistic. I have to admit I was more swayed by Lex's points than by Jim's, but it is hard to discount someone so clearly (extraordinarily) expert and working directly in the field.

> they have no plans on changing that

I think you might be wrong on that, based some of the code changes made to Signal over the last few months. They are internally moving to have users be identified by a UUID and phone number. I suspect they will eliminate the requirement for phone number identifiers when they introduce other identifier options.
The house sits on land and that is in a good school district or otherwise desirable location. That is worth something to someone and why properties become more valuable. When land and development is constrained you have to go up to support the density or out. All new communities are basically townhome communities across the US except in some places where land is not constrained... even then the homes are very similar and sit next to each other. It increases the affordability.. This makes existing homes on larger lots worth more b/c you get space despite needing to remodel the 1960s decor. But you get a nice view.
I would like to expand on this, because I think it's a nice quip but the answer should be more nuanced.

If Facebook is generally considered harmful (i.e. to society), and if they know that it's considered harmful, and they continue to work there, putting their limited time on earth to growing, enhancing, improving a service that is harmful, then they are bad people.

They can be good family people, good for their communities, but bad for society at large. Being good mothers and fathers, volunteering for neighborhood garbage cleanups, helping out in their church or mosque, that doesn't make their day job work not bad, or make them not bad for doing the harmful day job work. They can be both.

I for one couldn't look my children in the eye each night and say, "I did something harmful for society today, that is what afforded you a new Switch."
All of which use either circular reasoning or mind reading to support their assertions. Face it, you have _zero_ evidence for what you stated (third hand account in a vehemently anti-trump publication does not reliable evidence make), but pretend to have bulletproof evidence. That's simply not the case.
Would it be feasible for browsers to have a console window that enumerates add-on's to display things like URL's contained in the code, what is stored in local storage, session storage, etc? Asking because this topic comes up a lot and might not if the browser had a way to show explicit detailed permissions and capabilities vs. high level abstract permissions. This would be for less than technical people that probably won't be viewing source code, but could click a shiny button in the add-on page and get some idea if the addon shows URL, http(s), number of times the addon has used GET or POST or other methods:

URL: http://some.site.tld/ [ INSECURE GET:1 POST:2]
URL: https://some.other.tld/ [ SECURE GET:3 POST:2 ]

Maybe in about:networking have a tab for logging / debugging all addons?
I cant upvote this enough. The Vernor really captured this. As a programmer you can clearly see this happening right now.

As Coastal Cities Flood, Here's Where US Climate Refugees Might End Up
You are absolutely correct that the root cause of the housing crisis is capitalism and the commodification of housing. However, a socialist restructuring of the entire housing market is not likely to happen any time soon.

While we wait for the revolution, we might as well encourage the for-profit developers to build in the least destructive ways, so that less people suffer in the short term from the choked supply and anti-human urban planning that capitalists will exercise if left unchecked.
Removing campaign finance would not impair the content of free political speech, but merely its magnitude to the extent it is amplified by money.
No, I just think an educated forum of people that should know better should not engage in willful casual racism just because it's OK to hate on white people. But I know this is an extreme position I have! I personally have the hope that someday old people will be judged not on the color of their skin, but the content of their character. Perhaps if you didn't post your defense from a throwaway I'd think you weren't just trying to justify virtue - that someone of a specific color and age caused all of California's housing problems.

Do you want to play the "is it racist if we change the color" game?
When developers build high income housing, high income households move to those new developments and reduce demand for the places they vacated, making them more affordable for lower income households.
