I really like the angle of the project. Today it is very hard to talk with people about such approaches. People are so close minded about how to do stuff. I would really love to see a hands on how you use it because it must be brilliant. I would hope more people have this kind of out of the box thinking. It is the innovative spirit that drives world forward.
When I started playing around with Raspberry Pi I had the problem that I had to re-solve problems I had solved before but couldn't remember quite how and had to re-google everything.

So I started my blog to document how I did it. This and work stories made it semi popular.

I added an email list last year and got a few thousand people signed up. Now I'm really concious about what to blog about or when I blog about something I am very hesitant to send the new post out to my subscribers. So that impacted me in a slightly negative way

For certain niches, this is already happening. Pretty much every web hosting company nowadays run ad campaigns for their own brand, because other companies kept advertising on those keywords, and the only way to put their own web site up top is to outbid the competitor.

Journalists are arrested injured by police while trying to cover protests
I had a conversation with my dad about the purpose of university when I wasn't really learning anything I couldn't learn myself, and I was saddled with courses I have long since forgotten. He told me that yes, times have changed and you can learn a lot more online now than you ever could in school. But he also said that a university degree proves you can commit to something for an extended period of time, and endure its highs and lows. He told me it builds character and helps teach you how to socialize with people.

Nowadays in a hiring position, I don't care too much about the degree, but I do look more for commitment to something. The interview is an indicator of socialization as well and the deciding factor of wanting to work with someone.

Does the budget "Tesla 3" have the same sensors and autopilot functions as the full-featured "Model S" or are they stripped-down?
Noise and chaos gets heard. You know what gets completely ignored in this country? Peaceful protest. The actions of the last week are far, far more likely to result in change than any mass protest. Just look at the anti-Iraq war protests - the largest protests in US history held in dozens of cities over months and accomplished precisely nothing at all. Civil rights, gay rights, women's right were all won with a lot more than voting and peaceful protest. A lot more.
Limited aperture on a car means limited angular resolution even with millimeter wave. This can mean the information needed to tell whether something stationary is in your path just isn't there-- especially in the vertical direction where aperture is smaller.

A big flat surface that's not normal to you like the box truck may also not be a very large return.
One could argue that this is an argument in favor of university. You can always drop out when you find a better opportunity.
I don’t know how that can work in practice. If it’s in a dictionary, it might get used and then... it should be in other dictionaries. Do they cycle them in and out?
I'll be upfront about this. I was doing this back in 2003. My rationale? People would forget to complete signups, or they get interrupted. My goal was to make it as trouble-free as possible to get back to where they had left off. And it worked really well. Granted, all this was back long before I really had any concept of spam and privacy. It was just an honest "Oh, this could help those users!" Obviously times are different and expectations have changed. I wouldn't think of doing it now.
The thing we already have is worth a try?

Every police department with more than a couple officers has an official structure for reporting abuse to leadership (either police leadership, or civilian leadership). State agencies and police forces absolutely have jurisdiction to investigate local departments, and the FBI and DOJ can investigate anyone they want.

How about a limited LIDAR that only looks straight ahead? (Perhaps in a 5x5 degree wedge?) That's likely to be far cheaper than a full LIDAR set, and would provide useful data about a barrier in the vehicle's path.

> ...the explosives are already in place and its too dangerous to remove them...

I hadn't heard that before, but it is actually a really good reason. It would be risking people's lives to try and defuse an active shot. Once the explosives are in the ground the shot was going to be fired one way or another.

The aboriginals needed to, and a presume probably did, raise concerns before explosives were loaded.
Tesla has shipped ~1M cars total, USA registers ~250M new cars every year. Accidents happen around 1 in 50 cars per year in the USA. Most of the human accidents happen while drunk, distracted, speeding, or driving recklessly. Suspiciously the DriverKnowledge source adds these up to 103% of causes.

But we can say that a Tesla autopilot is never drunk, distracted, should never be speeding or driving recklessly. Crashing into an upturned truck, a fire truck, a street sweeper, a parked car, while sober, paying attention, driving carefully and attentively, is worse than human driving.

Size, cost, and integration.

Size: SODIMM slots are huge. That space can be much more efficiently utilized when put onto the main circuit board. This potentially leaves more space for the battery, or making the laptop thinner/more aesthetic.

Cost: Supply chain optimizations drive down cost. The DDR chips they are using are likely similar to the ones they use in other hardware (think phones). This increases total volume, and decreases cost. Also chips aren't a finished good, so they are saving on the cost incurred in making RAM DIMMs in the first place.

Integration: They only have to make sure their hardware, firmware, and software works with the RAM they supply. Decreases the testing burden. No lookup tables to see what is compatible, and no guessing when you buy RAM that causes the BIOS to panic. It just works, and is highly optimized for the use case.
Cool to see LBLL postings on here! It seems like a wonderful place to work, both in terms of the exciting science and technology and the wonderful view.
Apple removed the built-in display of _http._tcp. services. I don’t know why they chose to do this, but very few applications ever bothered to advertise this service. By far the most common use-case was for printer configuration UIs, which can be found specifically with the _printer._sub._http._tcp subtype. Apple’s print configuration UIs still expose a way to get to the printer web interface and this presumably uses _printer._sub._http._tcp.

Having said all that, I do wish Safari still supported it.
I think you're absolutely right. It's easy, too - fake a few Antifa tweets, white suburbia panics (literally happened today), pay someone to break a few windows and run away, cops hit anything that moves.
People don't have to be forced to get rid of cars, they just have to be incentivized to get rid of cars. That can be done by increasing the convenience of other options compared to cars or by decreasing the price of other options compared to cars.
I'm in the UK. 24 years old. Programmer. Did A-levels but not Uni.

It's never been very hard to find jobs, and my pay is above average for the UK (it's £60k).

Programming is pretty easy to teach yourself and it's a super employable field right now. Programmers are in so high a demand no one seems to mind if you don't have any qualifications.

Would things have been better if I'd gone to university instead? Who knows? But it's super possible to be a programmer without going.
I eliminated Microsoft from my life nearly 20 years ago. While my impression is that their software is less buggy and irritating in some ways now, I haven't heard anything compelling to pull me back into that world.

Apple lost me a year ago. Their software design and implementation has been declining for years, but it was the MBP keyboard fiasco that finally did it for me. Observing what has happened with Catalina has affirmed my decision.

Meanwhile, the state of Linux as a daily driver has greatly improved. And far more hardware just works with Linux. Right now, a System76 laptop running PopOS is really great. Considering cost, such a setup is far cheaper than a Mac, and I'm guessing less than a Windows laptop (since you avoid the Windows tax).

If you are comfortable developing in a Linux environment, and you don't have to use MS (or Apple) systems (e.g. because you are developing for those platforms), I can't imagine why you wouldn't use Linux right now.

Cases aren't for that purpose, but they are chosen by that criteria.

You don't have to take my word for it. The Supreme Court gets about 7000 petitions per year and only listens to 100-120 of them. Per https://www.ushistory.org/gov/9c.asp the criteria that they choose by is:

Generally, the Court considers only cases that have far-reaching implications beyond the two parties involved in the dispute. For example, a case in which a student sues an assistant principal for searching a locker may shape the privacy rights of all students in public schools. The court also tends to hear cases in which two lower courts have reached conflicting decisions. And it tends to look closely at lower court decisions that contradict earlier Supreme Court decisions.

In other words it chooses cases based on the importance of the precedent that is likely to be set or reinforced. The importance of the case to the people involved is less important than that.

I don't understand where you're getting the idea that books are something "no one will pay for". Sales of books are generally stable or rising. They are not like buggy whips.

I also don't understand how it is that you're describing books as "the most precious products of human toil", but you're simultaneously saying you're happy to sacrifice them if it means you get copyright reform.

And I also don't understand how copyright law is screwing up your "technology". It screws up your ability to get certain things for free. But if someone wants to create a DRM-free ebook and give it away, they are still perfectly able to do so.
> I'd be interested in whether dogs could be trained

Trained? Don't think so. I mean, there are dogs riding skateboards, so I believe that, given the proper ergonomic controls, they could learn how to drive a vehicle.

Driving a vehicle safely (as in, not stopping in the middle of a highway to investigate an interesting object) would be a greater challenge.

But as far as navigating a space? Sure, they are amazing at that and far better than anything we can come up with in the near future. Heck, if you hook up an insect brain inputs and outputs, you would have a system that's better than what we currently use.
Your claim has nothing to do with this alleged hack.
I assume, then, that you would like to pay for long distance phone calls by the minute again, so that you can have a printed yellow pages that is about as accurate as Google is when it goes to press, but less accurate the day it's delivered?

The only businesses who care about the accuracy of their data are ones who depend on it to make money. In order for this to make sense, one has to deeply understand incentives.
That quote is from a demo video showing what capabilities will be rolled out in the future when a) the system is ready for the public, and b) regulatory approvals are granted.
I hope you and your wife found a good breast pump
You're right of course.

Still, it's worth keeping in mind that Rust was born 20 years after Python was. Python was being written before Mosaic, Netscape, and Yahoo! were around. I think it can be forgiven for failing to conceive of a perfect package management system in 1990s. There were bigger fish to fry back then, so to speak.

Over the decades (!) there have been many, well-documented attempts at coming up with a package management story. pip and virtualenv have been the obvious winners here for years.

So, in conclusion, again you're right. But 30 years of history produces a lot of "conflicting documentation". It's only the last 10 years or so, that people have fought over the superiority of one language's package management ecosystem or another.

Generally speaking, I treat coworkers "like a customer". I try to be respectful, polite and professional. My work can speak for itself. If that's not enough, then so be it, because I don't have time for other people's bs.

FWIW, I see those chiding posts in my FB feed, and I don't put any stock in them. Most of the people in my feeds post them in lieu of being genuinely active, as though the act of posting is an act in itself. That's their right and choice, and it's my right and choice to ignore them.

There is an API exposed in Windns.h but it doesn't work very well. It's awkward to use and doesn't pick up on services being added and removed. See `DnsService*`, etc in https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/windns/.

The US is by far the most likely hostile state actor. They are the ones that benefit from the protesters being seen as more radical and destructive than they are, while Russia or China would be working towards hypothetical future benefits.
WSL is pretty neat, but I have literally no reason why I would ever switch to Windows. All the day to day stuff is terrible, the internet login is terrible, the UI is incredibly bloated and awful, etc. WSL makes things better, but still not nearly as easy as using the same type of machine I deploy to. Not to mention that Windows literally won't run on a lot of older hardware, where Fedora or Arch or whatever is perfectly happy.
It's that last sentence that covinces me that university is obsolete or at best misrepresented as an educational experience. Getting 100 grand into debt to have fun and have sex? Get wasted?

And jf I appear to be cherrypicking the second half of your post, it's because thr first half is cherry picking itself - I'll venture that fields where you Do need university stamp of approval such as medicine and law are becoming rarer and fewer compared to fields and professions where there are valid or better alternatives.

This is not to say education isn't needed and awesome, or even that structured, guided, formal education isn't needed and awesome. But north American universities (and I'm an alumni of a good one) have lost their way and are far from the most efficient or effective method these days.

I don't think its the wrong problem. If we had perfect self-driving today it would still make sense to have all the things you mention, that is more remote work, etc, but you would also have safe long distance cargo hauling, safer road trips, cheaper home delivery, etc.
This happens everywhere. Since ebay has started charging tax for all items (regardless of whether or not they are used or new) in my state, I've been using more and more small online shops for product purchases.

In many cases you have to fill out your address and email info before you can get to a shipping page to see shipping charges. In so many cases, even though I did not place an order or create an account, I am still sent an email saying that I have contents in my "shopping cart" and they are looking forward to "making me a satisfied customer".

I'm very familiar with risk evaluation. This whole thread was because I was pointing out a big gap in your logic.
'who looks at any sort of derivative as a source of "basic income"'

Covered calls?
No, it does not show anything. You are picking an extreme example in a heavily regulated field and trying to prove a general point with it. It is the knife fallacy again.

If pacemakers really need software updates, then regulate that companies are required to provide the updates or release the code if unable to do so for any reason.
So I've been programming since I was 7 and used dual boot until I was 15. At 15, I switched to WSL when it came out, and then when I was 19 I bought a Mac.

Mac hands down is just better for programming.
Especially with its fantastic touchpad support in my mind.
WSL has some file system quirkiness that comes up every once in a while.

Other than that, it's passable. The Mac Finder file browser is super advanced and I use its column mode regularly. On top of that, dragging the current finder folder to terminal changes me into that folder in terminal. Mac is full of tricks like that which can be mapped to keyboard shortcuts. At the end of the day, being the power user that I am, these things matter.

I mainly do RTL, kernel, and some webdev if that matters.
> The cultural value of defending the right of people you dislike to express ideas that you disagree with, because the value and importance of free expression goes beyond the short-term unpleasantness of ugly opinions. This is what we are losing

You are really missing the point though. Part of the balance is that one still cannot escape the consequences of their free expression. That's the backpressure that makes it work.

Email is a medium with which lacked that kind of backpressure and suffered by massive amounts of spam. Filtering out spam is preventing "free expression".

If you don't have backpressure, you won't get the free expression you imagine, because the noise will overwhelm everything else.
Couple of things going on. There are a lot of institutional investors where fiduciaries have no skin in the game and are being corrupted via a soft bribery. Central banks have flooded the world with cheap capital. And you have system where stockholders that end up holding the bag (AKA you and your 401k) don't have voting rights.
Somehow I doubt this problem is as simple as "add a LIDAR" considering there's probably at least one smart person at Tesla who has thought of that idea. Sure you might be right, but my impression is that the 1 in a million cases will still exist.
>Also very different in that most of 4chan is right-wing or far-right nowadays, largely due to /pol/. Most of the site's posters are supportive of the police in this instance, and sees the response and civil unrest as "anti-white rhetoric and violence perpetrated by liberals and black people". Many believe Floyd deserved to be killed.

This isn't quite right. 4chan is more right leaning than almost any other place online (save for voat and 8chan among others), but all political views are expressed on 4chan. You may get shouted down but you won't get banned for saying almost anything. The trouble is that "right wing" ideas are overexpressed on 4chan because these people are being totally deplatformed everywhere else.

This is dangerous because when you silence one of a two party system, you're actually silencing a range of ideologies that aren't "left leaning enough" and create an illusion of consensus, when in reality you are forcing thousands of political dimensions, and millions of people, into two generic boxes. I think part of the alleged rise of "white supremacy" is actually a response to being forced into the conservative box and dehumanized with accusations of Nazism and such.
