That's exactly my point: we'll have self-driving cars when they have their own space. Not before, even given 20 years of progress. Maybe we'll get that dedicated space before then, maybe not. It's a much bigger socioeconomic hurdle and may or may not actually be worth it financially.

I'm not quite that bad, but I hate working in software. I'm on my 23rd year now. My goal that gets me through the day is to pay off the house and other debts and live a low-expense life. That will happen within 5 years. Once that is done, I only have to pull a few contracts a year and maybe work 3-6 months out of a year. Health insurance costs in the US murk the waters a bit.

It's not illegal to build knives. It's not illegal to sell knives either. Using a knife to stab someone on the other hand is. No sane jusge could claim that the knife-builder was in fact involved in the killing, nor should popcorntime face any reprecussions for developing a program.

DMCA claims aren't even related to morality and the issues are always black and white. Either the plaintiff has copyright over the items they claim or they don't and it belongs to someone else or no one. In this case they cannot in any way claim that they have ownership of the code or product unless the popcorntime project has a signed dislaimer all devs agree to handing over the rights to the code to someone else (not likely).

So, simply DMCA abuse.
According to him it's only ever biased if it's critical of his actions or policies. That injects more noise into claims of bias and can lead people to take them less seriously than they realistically should. Bit of a boy who cried wolf situation.
I think it’s pretty clear that having a large portion of the city spend an hour a day packed together with 80 or so other people is going to increase transmission from a droplet spread disease.
> air is recirculated

That shouldn't actually matter. As far as we know, coronavirus is not airborne. From the WHO:

> According to the currently available evidence, transmission through smaller droplet nuclei (airborne transmission) that propagate through air at distances longer than 1 meter is limited to aerosol generating procedures during clinical care of COVID-19 patients.

> as the droplets are too heavy to be airborne, they land on objects and surfaces surrounding the person.

Right, I concur with the reasoning that contributory infringement could be argued against the developers, but I think the interesting questions is whether that reasoning can be extended to the "material" under the takedown section - particularly as written. If so that seems like the kinds of thing that could get ugly very quickly. E.g. are instructions on how to google for infringing material suddenly infringing?
Instead of building hash tables with buckets (and a linked list in case of hash collision), why not use a flat array based hash table and open addressing?
After Napster and Grokster, US courts say that enticing people to infringe copyrights can be a form of copyright infringement. The courts say it isn’t necessarily infringement, but that it can be, and it requires talented judges to figure out which side of the law particular projects fall.
While that might be an argument in general, the protocol Google and apple are working in is cryptographically secure. They provably can't back out data about you.
Only 50% of the air on airplanes is recirculated and the recirculated air is filtered through HEPA filters similar to what is used in hospital ICUs.

https://www.who.int/ith/mode_of_travel/tcd_aircraft/en/

"Research has shown that there is very little risk of any communicable disease being transmitted on board an aircraft.

The quality of aircraft cabin air is carefully controlled. Ventilation rates provide a total change of air 20–30 times per hour. Most modern aircraft have recirculation systems, which recycle up to 50% of cabin air. The recirculated air is usually passed through HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) filters, of the type used in hospital operating theatres and intensive care units, which trap dust particles, bacteria, fungi and viruses."
This right here is a great argument for why "helping them use [the data they already have] more effectively" (as you've said) is probably not as great a mission as you're making it out to be.

Yes, this was a state test:

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/23/nyregion/coronavirus-anti...

“ In New York City, about 21 percent tested positive for coronavirus antibodies during the state survey. The rate was about 17 percent on Long Island, nearly 12 percent in Westchester and Rockland Counties and less than 4 percent in the rest of the state.

“State researchers sampled blood from the approximately 3,000 people they had tested over two days, including about 1,300 in New York City, at grocery and big-box stores. The results were sent to the state’s Wadsworth facility in Albany, a respected public health lab.

This was characterized as Covid spreading “far more widely” than previously believed in NY. So I agree national rate probably higher than people think. Of course the 1/5 figure would not be expected outside the hotspot of NYC. Probably a national high in fact. But 1/10 as a long term national number seems plausible.

> Working the land, being close to home, running a family business, belonging to a small town of people you all known, having the social safety net of many people that are close to you and your family, being an independent contributor in the town's economy, etc. etc. This is how things were a few hundred years ago.

Let’s not overglamorize rural poverty. This life came with 20–40% infant mortality and a very high rate of maternal death in childbirth (play 5+ rounds of not-quite-russian-roulette and the odds get pretty grim). Starvation and disease were ubiquitous. Many people suffered some now-trivial injury and ended up as lifelong cripples. The work was literally backbreaking and elderly people’s (i.e. >50 years old) bodies were just wrecked after a career of hard manual labor, assuming they lived that long at all. People’s indoor time was spent in small dark rooms with an open hearth worse than the worst second-hand cigarette smoke you can possibly find, and unbelievably uncomfortable beds. In the best case food was mediocre (mostly bread or porridge or similar) and everyone was slightly malnourished, especially in the winter. People generally just shat outside near their houses and hoped the dogs would take care of it. If they wanted water (for drinking, bathing, ...) they’d have to carry it on their heads/backs from the nearest well or stream; water is very heavy.

People had to make literally everything in an extremely labor-intensive way from scratch: clothes, food, housing, furniture, toys, tools, etc. Raising sheep (or finding some other fiber) and then carding the wool, spinning the wool, weaving every piece of fabric on a hand loom, sewing fabric into clothes takes unbelievable amounts of human time. Making a small hut by hand takes weeks if not months of work (and the result is usually drafty, leaky, and not very comfortable). Making bread by hand including growing the grain and grinding it is nearly a full time job for everyone in the society.

If for whatever reason you were different from the expected norms (or just got unlucky and crossed the wrong gossipy neighbor) the rumors about you would mercilessly destroy your social life, and possibly result in exile or death if neighbors decided you were (e.g.) a witch.

The local nobles took every liberty with peasants: robbery, beatings as sport, rape, murder. The roads between towns were plagued with bandits.

Etc.

There’s a reason that the world has now experienced several centuries of dramatic migration away from rural peasant farming and toward horribly exploitative urban factory labor.
There's evidence that some subset of younger, healthier people may not produce measurable IgG antibodies. There was an initial study in China and additional preliminary work in Germany and Mayo Clinic.

"""
[Elitza Theel's] team has found that it's mostly the sickest patients — those who've been hospitalized — who produce IgG antibodies. And it appears that a small percentage of patients with milder cases of the disease aren't making the robust IgG antibodies.

"This is very preliminary," Theel warned. "But there might be a differential immune response between very sick individuals and individuals who have a more mild course of disease."

Their definition of "mild" means that you didn't require hospital care. So if you're under ~30 and otherwise healthy, you may be one of the people who beat the infection by some other mechanism. Or you just had influenza. It's impossible to know for sure right now.
Many here will attempt to give you a justification or rationale to your predicament. It's the way of coping with problems that technology teaches you (when a problem reveals itself, find a solution). Sometimes this is the right way to approach it. If you know the end you are seeking, finding a means towards it works. But if you are trying to determine the end, unthinkingly continuing down the same means is not going to satisfy your unease. This sort of thinking is something I dwell in quite a lot. I'm happy to be a sounding-board for you if you want.

I'm puzzled by this claim.

The keyboard for the ADM-3A shows a Ctrl key to the left of A. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADM-3A#Hardware

The VT100 shows CAPS LOCK to the left of A. https://vt100.net/docs/vt100-ug/chapter1.html#S1.1

So on which visual terminal was ESC to the left of A? Or are you perhaps referring to ex, an antecedent of vi, which was designed for hardcopy terminals? If so, which hardcopy terminal had ESC to the left of A? I've looked at the images for some and can't find that.

You do a good service to the society, Jeff.

One hypothesis can be that many people (like me) ended up paying for both the books (ansible and kubernetes) even if it was free. Someone puts their soul into creating good books that we benefit from, so why not pay if we can.
The notion of valuing a life at age 15 higher than at age 5 is pretty reasonable. If the value starts at zero at conception, ends at zero at death, then -- if it's a continuous function -- there has to be a rising curve followed by a falling curve. And this seems to fit with some choices I'd make in contrived trolley problem scenarios. Though it's not the only variable, when you get to particularities.
>Intel fabs were at 90+% capacity

They are at 100% capacity.

That is their fault for delay in the 10nm Fab not online in Israels, not building more capacity in existing Fabs, and not doing better Forecasting. All of these happened during BK's tenure.

Intel Custom Foundry was a little late, but that was 2012, they have achieved little to nothing during its 5 years of existence. The point is, if you do not have a product offering that is inside those 1.5B annual shipment of Tablet / Smartphone SoC, Modem Baseband and WiFi, at least offer to Fab those product line since Intel and x86 is not competing in that segment. Instead Samsung and TSMC got that market volume and is now able to sustain the leading edge R&D.

Seriously. I get it. I'm not rich and that means I can't understand how the money machine go prrrrr and cha-ching. However, even my lowly technologist brain understands that the field is ripe for the development of companies that take advantage of the fact that profit is optional. Roll your eyes at someone even dipping their toes into Marxist thinking, but please consider how much influence you could wield if you were able to pull off humanist Walmart. How big can Amazon 2.0 go when they strike an amiable deal with the (desperately in need of protecting) USPS and undercut the everliving fuck out of them just because they can sustain and propagate steadily.

I feel like I know what I'm talking about. I also feel like when I bring this up inside the technologist community, y'all eyes glaze over like a creationist hearing about evolution. I've done the reading! Your investment strategies are weak, and you suffer because you are not employing half the essential economic strata considered in all good economic ventures.

I'm not gonna try and convince you here all at once that everything most people we know talk about is dumb, but it is. We're leaving the profit meta and translating one dictated by bandwidth dominance and the brokerage of phenomenological benefit for the consumer. Roll your eyes at me now and remember me when it's 2030 and you weren't the lead on the private company that successfully and ethically integrated themselves into the lifecycle of a daily consumable.

You can even raise on this, entrepreneurs. At least I think I'm going to. Anyway, that's about the end of my point. Someone make the argument that it isn't a massively contrived evil that everyone's not in an arms race to fulfill everyone's needs mutually and sustainably! I'm always down to talk shop.

Oh, yeah! May the Force be with you.

> (Also, it’s “oblate”. To “ablate” is to erode.)

Perhaps, but the item "ablate" in "an ablate spheroid" is obviously not a verb, so it's hard to see how that's relevant.

"Ablate" isn't really well-formed for a verb, and indeed I see that the modern verb is a back-formation from the better-formed "ablation". If it had started as a verb, you'd expect "aufer", in the same way that we have the verb "offer" rather than "oblate".

Of course the meaning of "offer" doesn't tell you much about the meaning of "oblate", so once again it's hard to see why the meaning of the verb "ablate" should indicate anything about the meaning of a hypothetical adjective "ablate".
The option exists. It's called buying two tickets.
Many here will attempt to give you a justification or rationale to your predicament. I've discovered, through my own experience, that this way of coping is predominate in technology (when a problem reveals itself, find a solution). Sometimes this is the right way to approach it. For example, If you know the end you are seeking, finding a means and sticking with that way of being will eventually get you closer to that end. But if you don't know the end, you revert back to the means with which you are most familiar: attempting to solve it rationally. I've found this approach to be unfruitful. This sort of thinking is something I dwell in quite a bit. I'm happy to be a sounding-board for you if you want.
I've seen worse in private companies. For example I once did some consulting for a company that manages an industrial production line using software written by a single "rock star" programmer leading a team of imbeciles. Dude is adamantly opposed to version control and his "process" for deploying new code to production hardware is to manually rename the active version to .BAK and copy over the new one. He keeps track of versions by remembering which computer has which version installed. This is in a company where if the line goes down, it's hundreds of thousands of dollars an hour till it comes back up.

So I am going to have an unsatisfactory answer, but maybe its helpful:

1. Performance was kind of a reason for the Air. I want a machine that gives me the perspective my users will have when using my software.
2. But doesn't that suck for actually building? Yes except... I also just have a nice computer on the network that I offload the actual rough tasks to. This might end up being a good solution for you too.
3. This might also future-proof you for the ARM switch. If you have a good build computer, and a cheap "interface" computer, you can switch to a new ARM computer in a bit with little pain: none of the the "real" stuff has to change.

It kinda sucks for multi-monitor though. It really struggles with it.

This is something I’ve seen called “butts-in-seats management”, and yes, I’ve seen it in practice.

Many years ago I had a new skip-level manager who emailed me one day saying that he had dropped by my office a few times to introduce himself but I was never around and he was really concerned with the fact that I never seemed to be in my office working. I am relatively certain every time he dropped by I was either in a colleagues office discussing a work issue or had run down to grab a coffee. But to him this was “concerning”.

He didn’t last long. I believe he moved on in 8-12 months.
