> Now it is largely acceptable, to permanently disable or kill someone due to a mistake or some form of common negligence while operating a vehicle.

There were many years at the beginning of the automobile where laws were created[1] to save humans, horses, and livestock from being run into by automobiles or locomotives. After enough of society was normalized to the existence of large guided missiles, these ways were dismantled.

> It is almost not a crime to accidentally run someone over. This is “normal” or “not intentional.”

It's not 1st degree murder (usually), but the circumstances of a traffic collision do sometimes bring felony convictions. Society has absorbed the risk and people have adapted.

Interesting note: US and Euro cars can't be homogenized because the US NHTSA tends to assume that passengers don't wear seatbelts (so manufacturers optimize for fewer injuries with that assumption) whereas the Euro equivalent assumes that all passengers do wear seat belts and optimize for that assumption.

> In the future, it will seem insane to have allowed so many people manual control over multi-ton vehicles.

I think future people will be capable of some amount of empathy with people who came before them who had to deal with inferior technology.

If anybody is interested, I've been writing a Gmail-focused email client for macOS called Mimestream. It combines native macOS UI with Gmail-specific features such as categorized inboxes, colored labels, and aliases (made possible by the use of the Gmail API instead of IMAP).

I just opened up a public beta, and you can request immediate access on the website at https://mimestream.com. It's free during the beta period - I only ask for feedback: feedback@mimestream.com.

Unlike some other 3rd party email clients, it makes direct connections from your Mac to Gmail and stores data/credentials on your Mac. There's no intermediary servers.

Must adjust for the grift. Boeing are professionals at this process.
I’m an owner and pilot of one of the previously mentioned planes that run on leaded fuel. The current issue with your plan is that for a vast chunk of the GA fleet there is no certified alternative to leaded fuel. Some planes have supplemental type certificates (STC) available that allow them to burn unleaded fuel, but many do not (such as my Grumman Tiger). It’s not just the engine, it’s the fuel system in the plane that must be certified- this is not just a paperwork drill, there have been failed certification attempts because the fuel system couldn’t deliver enough fuel pressure at certain temperatures.

The FAA is required to evaluate the impact of new regulations on the existing fleet. A change that would eliminate or place a prohibitively high tax on leaded fuel would likely be shown to eliminate half of the GA fleet. This will not be approved until the impact can be reduced. Developing and certifying new engines and fuel system components for all the different aircraft type certificates is totally infeasible; a new fuel substitute is pretty much the only option.

The FAA has made huge regulation changes before but there has always been an alternative. The recent ADS-B mandate requires about $5k of new equipment before a plane is allowed to fly where Mode C transponders were previously sufficient. This is/was expensive for many private pilots, but was deemed to be acceptable for the safety benefits gained. Some owners have chosen not to add the ADS-B equipment and haven’t been allowed to fly in some parts of the country, but they can still fly most places. A fuel regulation that grounds half the fleet with no alternative regardless of the price is a completely other level of impact.

The FAA and most pilots want an alternative to leaded fuel (at least for the assumed cost savings if not for the environment). Energy companies are working on unleaded substitutes but current options still require an STC to burn. You probably won’t see leaded fuel going away until there is a universally approved replacement that can just take the place of 100LL at every airport in the country. Edit: or barring a complete drop-in replacement, at least an option that can be shown to work in existing engines and fuel systems without requiring major R&D.
There’s a fairly heavy emphasis on graphics and UI throughout Fuchsia’s stack, so I doubt it’s meant to just sit on a server.
"Working very hard" is really giving them too much credit. The parallel payment system, INSTEX, has done almost nothing to actually facilitate trade with Iran.

The EU set up this system in order to say that they were doing something, but the practical consequences for trade have been approximately zero. That's why Iran decided to stop abiding by the terms of the nuclear agreement. European companies refuse to do business with Iran because of US sanctions, so the fact that the EU lifted its nuclear-related sanctions doesn't bring Iran any relief in reality.

Sorry for not making it more clear; I was responding to the statement:

> Not really open. If you submit code, you grant a license to Google to use it in non-proprietary code.[1] So, at some point, once users and developers are locked in, Google can make later versions closed and proprietary enough to stop clones.

The CLA does not change anything about the license, and does not prevent or make it possible (or easier) to make proprietary versions of the software (or your contributions) — all those conditions are in the license itself, the CLA does not override or amend any terms of the license.

In other words, you can make the same argument about any Apache, BSD, or MIT software, while the poster is claiming that it's the CLA that enables making future releases proprietary, which is why I pointed out that the Google CLA is the same as the ASF CLA.

If the argument is that Apache/BSD/MIT licenses are "not really open" because they allow incorporating them into proprietary software without releasing code, that's a different argument and is really a distinction between the "permissive" licenses like Apache/BSD/MIT and the "copyleft" licenses like GPL, but again, that has nothing to do with the CLA.
The thing is that anyone can make that fork and use the code on a proprietary system, not only google. The same that apple did with the mach kernel and any other one could have done.

Someone else above in the thread believes there is "great value" in being able to accomodate complexity, what the commenter refers to as a "general" solution, as well as this being worth any cost in performance. God help you if these are the type of people who are doing the interviews. Despite pedantic technical questions, I doubt they are actually screening for crucial skills like reducing complexity. Rather, the expectation is that the tech worker will tolerate complexity, including the "solutions" to managing it that are themselves adding more complexity, e.g., abstraction.

The San Francisco Bay Area will almost always be the most financially beneficial choice if you can get a job at one of the top tech companies.

that's the advantage of being a hegemon. the e.u can:

- throw its lot in with the u.s and take it when it hurts

- throw its lot in with another aspiring hegemon and take it when it hurts

- do what it taker to go it alone.

the e.u have ruled out the last on multiple occasions. perhaps when brexit and corona is behind us, they'll begin thinking about it again.

the second does not seem particularly appealing; between putin russia, a xi prc and a trump u.s, i think the u.s is best of a bad bunch. and its fair to say they have more upside than down; i would favor good government returning to the u.s and be reluctant to favor improving government returning to china or russia.

small, isolated western countries like au and n.z have effectively no choice in the matter: they get to pick china or the u.s, and china have made it clear they intend that choice to be hobson's choice.

When the price of water spikes:

+ Some people in need are priced-out, which is very bad.
+ Many for whom the price isn't really a problem given it's become a 'health issue' will stock up dramatically, further driving prices up and hoarding from others.

The 'shortage' FYI is probably inherent in a flood type situation.

By far a better solution is rationing, which is exactly what is done in these situations and has been for quite some time. Rationing can be enforced at the point of sale i.e. 'Max 3 per household', definitely through social conditioning, i.e. making sure community members are aware of the need to do this, much like mask-wearing and social distancing, and possibly through more specific measures, i.e. 'ration cards'.

The immediate problem with rationing maybe 'lineups' which is the visual epitome that many people like to point to from the Soviet Era as an example of 'bad economics' from centrally planned economies, and it surely is in the long run, but in the short-run, i.e. in disaster type scenarios, rationing is often a very obvious and useful strategy.

> So it boils down to: is there really enough values in those ideas or not?

Up front, it depends one which ideas "those ideas" are. If you're referring to monads etc, I don't know. It's not obvious to me either way. In the broader sense, I hope what we're seeing with things like rust's ownership stuff, or haskell's hardcore folks dreaming up new ways to do generic things soundly, the zig and co folks separating compile time code from runtime code, or even the bleeding edge dependent type folks letting you write provably correct code, I hope it's just the beginning. In terms of programming language developments, it seems like there are a lot of new ideas happening now. It's not that academia and the industry are dumb, it's just that this shit is hard and we're just starting. So I worry when I see "it's another thing to learn, and there's already to much, so no" as a justification against the hard parts in new ideas. I can't wait to see what the next few decades of languages and tooling bring us. Who cares whether it means we have to study?
