Let's lower the speed limit until the number of deaths in car accidents due to speed is 0 then?

In this physical universe, humans have a non-zero possibility of dying from coming in contact with other human beings directly or indirectly. You have to agree on some level of danger because trying to avoid all danger would itself cause death, by boredom and likely starvation.

Now if we're going to agree that some people should have more resources than others and if we're going to agree on trading using currencies and if we agree that lack of resources may cause someone to die, we've just put a price on human life.

I'm sorry that realities of life are upsetting to people who've been given a children's view of the world where all life is precious, but at some point, we have to grow up :)

Can it be used for new materials or products, or will it need to be stored indefinitely?

Almost prophetic to today's events. It's gonna be a real rough ride once the masses that are currently focused on the murder of George Floyd and countless other PoC expand their view and take aim on the systemic issues that plague many Western societies.

> These idiotic trickle-down policies are destroying my customer base. And yours too.

Yup. I'm German, our car manufacturers have had the problem for years now that the only place they can grow and sell cars is China or some other export target. But well, that's the result of having:

- about the biggest low-wage sector in whole Europe

- 2/3rds of the population with either no meaningful savings at all or in debts (https://www.boeckler.de/de/boeckler-impuls-vermoegen-nur-jed...)

- and cars that cost tens of thousands of dollars in new

How is the German economy supposed to "pull itself out of the recession on the bootstraps" when the majority of the population does not have bootstraps?
The camera is within 3 feet of that thing and it’s what 75 DB? Compared to the normal city traffic that relatively quiet as it’s horns, squealing breaks, backup beeper etc that are really annoying. On top of this, they are not going to spend very long at street level. IMO, the only real noise issue is raising the street level sounds to higher floors. That’s likely to get serious opposition in many cities.

The critical issues of safety etc seem like a much bigger deal to me.
I suspect there's not much information in the individual blurred face, but I wonder if given enough examples you'd be able to determine if an unblurred face is the one in a sample of images with any level of confidence? You can do that with text (http://dheera.net/projects/blur).
A single tree, yes, but what about a forest? Haven't done any research on this, but wouldn't a forest as a whole recapture any carbon released by dead trees? Minus the trees used for construction--negative carbon system?

Using RC helicopters instead of quadrotors would mitigate that a little.

Another mitigation could be to specify allowed jump points (for example on big street crossings where the noise from cars would drown the drones' noise anyway).

Yeah in principle the money printing could have been used to devalue the assets of the wealthy and redistribute wealth, decreasing inequality. That didn't happen, presumably because corporations captured the wealth in the way that you describe.

Further, it is clear that some of those corporations (e.g. FAANG) are not the "original wealthy", which is often used as part of an argument suggesting that there is a lot of wealth mobility, but it seems incredibly limited to me, and the flow is hardening just as it did before.
Is this credible?
India's official numbers are exploding [1]. They were under lockdown, which does not seem to have had any effect and which is now being relaxed. It does not strike me as outstanding management.

I really don't know to make of official numbers in many countries, especially when comparing among countries. They seem to go all over the place and it's hard to make sense of them. Part of it, I think, is that we don't fully understand the virus and I suspect a lot of natural causes will be found to explain some of the differences.

The usual argument is that "one should APL like one reads music", meaning that with experience you immediately recognize specific patterns which help you understand what is going on. As for why ASCII can't do that, only the critics know their true reason, which I suspect amounts to "it's different from what I'm used to". I've done both, and I found J notation no more obscure. Critics should also note that (Dyalog) APL departed from APL2 to copy many J patterns, so it appears difficult to argue that J was such a mistake to begin with.

Some people hold prejudice against parentheses and prefix notation, for others it's ASCII...

Of course they can be politicians. But a politician is elected and sits on a mandate from the people, and this comes with a clear accountability. A scientist that is not a politician is a scientist. It is a big discussion in Sweden, who really is in charge and who is ultimately responsible for the failures.

I'll be working on my next business idea. A shower head with an invisible camera that streams to the manufacturer for the protection of the shower user. After all, he might slip and the device could call an ambulance.

The shower head could monitor if the user is overweight and send some weight-loss ads. It is for the user's own good!

Also, I'll make it opt-out, and the opt-out process will be in a shrink wrap license.

It is all for our own good!
It's most certainly not just the US. In the (western European) country where I live, for instance, even a static protest or demonstration with no chanting or marching and only a few participants requires non-trivial and somewhat expensive police approval ahead of time. Most larger spontaneous events seem to just ignore this and the police haven't generally responded violently, to their credit.

Sweden's path has been conventional. The attention is coming from nations that executed extreme and even revolutionary policies of universal home arrest, "shutting" an entire nation like a coffee shop, and sending a 30%+ of the workers onto unemployment.

This ultimately comes back to the so-called "Trolley problem,"[1] which some posters in this thread have brilliantly acknowledged. Would we throw the whole world out of work, or imprison them, or bankrupt them, to save 1 life? If not, what is the limit or deciding principle?

Edit: Most face recognition software works by down-sizing and blurring an image to faster detect face features. So in theory it is very easy to detect face features from a blurred image. A deblur tool can then use this information to better deblur a face.
In the UK non white ethnic groups and especially Bangladeshis have had the highest mortality rate from Covid 19 and yet the countries they come from are faring better than the UK is against the disease. The explanation for this when it's found will be interesting, one factor might be climate and possible vitamin D deficiency among these groups in Britain.

You spent paragraphs arguing against the existence of income inequality, then you finally get around to this statement, which is what people are actually talking about when they say "income inequality", and you agree with it. People are unequally rewarded for their productivity. The description of the first resource in your link even begins "Rising wage inequality..."

It's more nuanced. Munich has municipal schools and at least on administration side it can do what they want there. However curriculum is made on state level, thus if the curriculum depends on Microsoft software (explicit about Excel etc.?) They would have to comply. Also some state funding budgets, i.e. for getting a few machines, might be bound to "default configurations" thus for going Linux the city might have to pay out of its own budget ...
I agree that "on topic vs. off topic" and "like vs. dislike" are two different signals, and it's possible that "on topic vs. off topic" is actually the more valuable signal for surfacing good stories.

It's all right if it's running the testcases of these popular libraries; however, it seems that this was not caught by the testcases, only by a fuzzer (which not only is not as deterministic, but also can be much more costly to run).
That's a pretty disingenuous way to argument using absolute numbers, considering that blacks make up a considerably smaller proportion of the population. Their relative numbers are much higher than whites: https://www.pnas.org/content/116/34/16793

Also if you are from the US I'm sure you are happy to go back to be ruled by the UK, considering that the US was founded on violent protest (note if you're from somewhere else I am very likely to find a similar example in your countries history), or are you saying it is ok to protest violently if you believe you are taxed to high (or not represented enough) but not if you are being shot disproportionally?
It's because they don't test as much and they are not eager to mark deaths as covid-19.

The end of the first part. Although it's optional. In the start of part two they make you do it if you skipped it in part one.

I did it in javascript. I didn't really miss typing. Although when things went wrong a lot of debugging was needed. But I think these were logic errors iirc. I'm not sure if typing would have helped.

In part two you build a stack-based virtual machine and then javaesq programming language, that is built on top of the assembler you built in part one.

Outside of the cities these are still high density, just instead of a 30 stories block those are 3-4 stories blocks in the burbs.

Concentrating poor and vulnerable people isn't a good strategy they do better when they are surrounded by the better off, having 2 low income families on a street would produce a much better outcome and shoving 200 of them.

Social housing in the UK is complex, at some point nearly 80% of the people lived in social housing, it wasn't for low income families but rather for nearly anyone but the most affluent which often held titles and on the other spectrum the most remote and rural communities.

Social housing was seen as a means to bring workers into the cities during the industrialization of the UK.

Today despite the fact that anyone is still eligible outside of political corruption which ironically nearly exclusively plagues Labour councillors, MP's and party officials which somehow jump to the front of the queue despite earning well above the mean council housing is seen as a solution for the working poor.

Councils already offer rent assistance, have council properties which are used to temporary house vulnerable people, building more of those won't help just look what happens when you have council flats in new build projects, drugs, anti social behaviour and damage to properties simply due to the high concentration of these individuals.

So while having 20-30% social flats in a new build project might seem like a good idea the only thing that it causes is a huge backlash from the regular tenants due to this behaviour and nearly always they end up winning.
It seems more likely to me that the COVID reporting is shoddy, rather than the implementation of some genius plan. Hundreds of thousands of people die every year in Vietnam [1] and you're telling me there's a zero percent chance that some of them were miscategorized? Seems unlikely to me.

Well, Sweden's 4:10000 death rate is alarming. In only a few months. And their confident approach (doing very little) in the face of scant information was bold. With lives at stake, its natural to be alarmed/scandalized at their lack of effort to control a pandemic.
I agree with most of this. I don't think, though, that the obscurity of the postmodernist writers is just a matter of technical material not being accessible to non-specialists. There is a trickster and bullshitter element to what they were doing. The complicated aspect is that they were also expressing important truths.

The problem with the "always shifting always destabilizing" mode of a writer like Derrida is that it doesn't treat the listener as someone who matters. The listener is dispensable, while the author (ironically, the author who was supposed to have died) performs self-referential pirhouettes. There's something deeply non-relational about that, which I don't like. At the same time, I think the "nothing to see here" critics of the postmodernists are even more wrong.

Deleuze/Guattari is a different vein which I never really explored. I had a copy of Anti-Oedipus many years ago but I never really read it. It surprised me when they re-emerged as a fashionable item in the English-speaking world.
