What a fascinating article. Thank you for sharing it. It truly shows how much we have progressed and has an optimism that is so refreshing considering it was written right before the end of one of humanity's most deadly/vicious war.

It really , really puts things in perspective and makes me wonder how we are doing much better relatively to most people in ww2 but yet we don't seem to have (or even wish for) a positive outlook on life and the future.
And, of course, the "Eskimo words for snow" thing is a myth in how it's usually understood:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eskimo_words_for_snow

> Franz Boas did not make quantitative claims[6] but rather pointed out that the Eskimo–Aleut languages have about the same number of distinct word roots referring to snow as English does, but the structure of these languages tends to allow more variety as to how those roots can be modified in forming a single word.[1][note 1][note 2] A good deal of the ongoing debate thus depends on how one defines "word", and perhaps even "word root".

[snip]

> Languages in the Inuit and Yupik language groups add suffixes to words to express the same concepts expressed in English and many other languages by means of compound words, phrases, and even entire sentences. One can create a practically unlimited number of new words in the Eskimoan languages on any topic, not just snow, and these same concepts can be expressed in other languages using combinations of words. In general and especially in this case, it is not necessarily meaningful to compare the number of words between languages that create words in different ways due to different grammatical structures.

It's a bit like a botnet. 3 killer drones probably isn't a WMD. Maybe 100 is. 10,000, yeah I think so.

Thought there wouldn't be a whole lot of destruction like older weapons. Maybe it's more of a WMM (M is for Murder).

Thought experiment: What's the MVP for killer drones? Single use explosives like the Slaughterbots video? Or are there viable reusable weapons systems on drones that fit in your hand?

Visa process is some of the worst beurocracy in any country, since people using jt are by definition non-citizen, dont vote, and have less recourse.
Often a new policitican comes in and gives new direction for very liberal interpretation of current rules. I have many years of experience with Czech and Uk immigration systems, and both are a mess, and dont really comply with the law.
But it means they have to waste resources to keep up, else instability becomes concerning.

Maybe they should stop selling devices then and only lease them.

When I BUY a device I should have access to all the schematics, all of the components, etc. otherwise I do not OWN it, I am simply borrowing it

I fail to see why electronics should hold a special place that other manufactured goods do not, for example we disallowed car manufactures from locking down the cars we own and they used the EXACT same excuses that modern electronics manufacturers do

Now we are starting to see modern car companies, like Tesla, want to bring back those Anti-Consumer policies to the automotive world

I am sadden that soo many people want to BUY a product but still have the manufacture get complete control over it. That is not ownership, that is serfdom

that doesn't seem like a useful definition. by that logic, any sufficiently large army is a "WMD", basically rendering the term meaningless.

What a silly answer. He is giving a reasonable, constructive criticism that should be simply be taken seriously.

You might disagree giving an iPad to a little girl. Fine. But the suggestion for the site still stands.
Based on my quick reading, the article fails to establish that autonomous drones are actually a clearly defined category about which treaties could plausibly be enforced. The WMD category is not just about indiscriminate destruction, it's also crucially about being able to cleanly distinguish WMDs from non-WMDs. Biological, chemical, and nuclear weapons are, with only a few exceptions, fairly precise categories. (Part of the criticism of bunker-buster nuclear bombs is that they risked blurring the distinction between nuclear and conventional weapons.)

How often does a remote operator need to check in with a drone for it to no longer be "fully autonomous"? How many such drones could the operator be monitoring at once? How many drones constitute a swarm?

A sovereign power can plausibly regulate blurry categories by just picking arbitrary but clearly defined cut-offs, e.g., the difference between a moped and a motorcycle is defined as an engine with a certain number of cc's. But this is a lot harder when you need to get dozens of different countries to all agree on a rule. International law is more dependent than domestic law on appealing to clear moral boundaries, since there is no higher earthly power to appeal to.
To address that I feel like you have to ask what would moving officers to pursue the issue that way. I suspect part of the answer is quotas and a “never back down” mindset.

QI seems like the bandaid. If you don’t push hostile policing, maybe you don’t get hostile police.
It's exactly this line of thinking that will tell people the problem is solved once those four policemen are convicted. If a gang is terrorizing people, does the problem go away when you put a few members in jail?
No doubt.

Religion basically goes.

1. Take drugs and related stuff for fun or whatever

2. See something impressive

3. Cultivate your ability to use the drugs or whatever to investigate the impressive thing more closely.

4. Said cultivators impress the locals.

5. Locals document the whole thing.

6. Cultivators fall out of fashion, come into conflict with the local ruling class or for whatever reason disappear from public view.

7. But the documentation remains. Forming the seed of a new document-based culture.

8. Rulers of said culture forbid drugs and similar explorations. The scholars become a theological ruling class.

A competent lawyer can find a violation of Federal law violation in almost any impromptu government action, mainly violations of due process rights. The key substantive benefit of making such a claim, piling onto state law violations, is recovery of attorneys fees under Section 1983.

It's easy to see that each example in the article involved improper conduct that hopefully violated state law. State law decisions in each case hopefully would have been easy(ier). Constitutional law, on the other hand, sometimes is hard-- especially when there isn't a decision directly on point.

So, we get qualified immunity, where judges decline to allow the tail of (potential) attorneys fee recovery wag the dog of constitutional law challenges that involve complicated issues of both fact and law. No one loves litigation about attorneys fees except lawyers, and that's key insight in understanding the law of qualified immunity.

An alternate solution would be to adjust the incentives that litigants have to bring Section 1983 challenges in the first place-- possibly by making attorneys fees more generally available to litigants-- so that they reserve Section 1983 claims for those cases where they are truly decisive.

Edit: The article does talk about attorneys fees briefly, I corrected my comment. Thanks.
You're right.

Because 99% of people don't realise that their domain registrar holds the keys to their business's entire internet presence.

They can switch off your website/email at any time, with no real consequences apart from a little bit of bad PR if you have enough social media followers or post in the right forums where their staff hang out.

They can also do a shitty job of securing your domain, and let it get stolen/hijacked. The attacker then gets to set up their own MX records and collect all the password reset emails they triggered on every other important site, and pretty much own anything you doin't have 2FA set up on.

Anyone who doesn't think customer support from their business domain registrar is a thing worth paying for, most likely hasn't evaluated the risks properly.

That blog post is incorrect. Mailman was written in C++, like all the early code at Amazon, but Shel and I decided to limit the C++ features we would use to a very small set. More like "C with classes". It was still C++ and it would not have compiled with a C compiler.

It goes even "wronger":

>Shel, Eric, Greg, and others like them that I wasn't fortunate enough to work with directly: they didn't allow C++ here, and they didn't allow Perl.

We explicitly made the choice to use C++ (with the proviso mentioned above). We used Perl for a variety of tasks.

Likely some of those choices were modified later, but it is incorrect to ascribe the "no C++" rule back to Shel and the beginning of Amazon, because the opposite is true.

Have a look at http://www.squeaksource.com/Hobbes/, but don't expect impressive performance. It's not the code in the Bluebook part 4 though. If you want to implement it yourself be prepared that it might take many weekends until it runs as expected; debugging Bluebook errors took many hours.
7/11 exists in WA and the eastern states so it might not be franchise fees. In Adelaide, OTR is a dominant brand, putting a petrol station in a corner location along with quick essentials, coffee, fast food, etc.

Yes, of course real estate costs and subsequently rent make small business difficult here.

City chargers with a time limit would make sense also. I've seen them in various places here and abroad. One advantage of having them at petrol stations (convenience stores in the future) is that people don't hang around as long.

Last year when I was at a shopping centre in Century City LA, there was a line to use the superchargers that would've been 10+ cars long. They might need to add dozens of chargers to deal with future demand if people are shopping for 90 minutes.
>then it's probably fair to ask why you'd even take a photo at all.

There are many cases (such as the recent protests) where you might want to document something and it is infeasible to ask everyone else in the area to leave first.
No, but what would be wrong with a company being afraid of ruinous lawsuits if those lawsuits had merit?

You or I should be afraid of ruinous lawsuits because even one, one without any merit, can cost us a lot. We do not have the resources of Twitter, we do not have a permanent legal staff, we do not have a pit of money, we do not have wealthy backers, we do not have the ear of powerful people. They can fight a suit as far as it can go and actually create precedent in higher courts that you or I could never afford to reach. They can even face down a government lawsuit.

If lawsuits were spurious they'd soon put a stop to them.
On the other hand most of the cars have a smaller battery than a Model S, which works the other way (eg a Model 3 SR charges in about half those times).

Haven't EVs outside of China basically standardised on either CCS2 or CHaDeMo? (it's also pretty easy for a charger to support both).
Regarding Spanish language, I'm surprised that they didn't include "estrenar", that means to use or show something for the first time. Sometimes it can be translated as "release" or "launch", but there is no single English word with the same range of meanings.
> The key substantive benefit of making such a claim, piling onto state law violations, is recovery of attorneys fees under Section 1983 (the article does not discuss this).

Perhaps you should go back and read the article again -- it absolutely does discuss this.

I don't think there is any evidence that psilocybin mushrooms were used in the Middle East until at least the mid 1950s when the Wassons brought them to Europe from Mexico and the Psychedelic era began. Further, there are no psilocybin containing mushrooms native to the Middle East:

So the psilocybin mushroom part of your theory strikes me as very unlikely.
> Unreliable devices damage Apple's hard-earned reputation.

This is hilarious as the only Apple related Videos I know of are those of this repair guy who cheaply fixes parts that were obviously made to break and be repaired at ridiculous costs pushing the customer to buy a new device.

Nobody who goes to a private fix it shop would blame Apple. But they might hear about those strange parts that were build to break and this is where they may indeed lose reputation. Reputation they do not deserve in the first place.

Work I tried many times to have lists. Doesn't work either. I just have text files and or mindmaps about things I'm workin on. It contains everything what I'm thinking, code snippets, links to websites, meeting minutes, short todo items or things I'm waiting on. Doesn't really have any form it evolves.

You are describing Plan 9.
Scala is a formidable language. It is very flexible, elegantly supporting a variety of programming styles from Haskell-on-the-JVM to Java++ to everything in between.

Those two extremes hate on each other a lot, and this also spills out into annoyance at Scala not being ever more perfect for one of those extremes at the expense of the other. Then there are career enterprise Java programmers who are fine with Java and make it Scala's fault.

Scala community is not a monoculture, it's a refuge for different people with different ideas, and the vast majority of its users are quite happy with it and with each other.

But that also means that different Scala teams work differently, everyone's experience with Scala is greatly affected by the preferences of the developers they're working with. Everyone mostly agrees what a React.js application should look like. Not the same for Scala. You're going to have a tough time working with a Hascalator codebase if that's not how you think.

With preferences-compatibility warning in mind, Scala is still amazing for complex projects thanks to its rich type system and language features as long as everyone's on the same page for how they want to use Scala. And yes, it's overkill for your microservice that has seven classes and a plain JSON HTTP API. Use node or go or whatever for that kind of thing.

Scala is doubly amazing for complex full-stack projects thanks to Scala.js. These days I basically choose my stack from either full stack JS or full stack Scala depending on project complexity.

It's true but not unexpected that Scala 3 is taking a while. Good things take time. And once again, the amount of whining on the scala internet even about things like Dotty not being officially called Scala 3 (until that inevitably happened) was insane.

If you want to learn a safe-bet language strictly for career purposes, I'm not sure about Scala. The ecosystem is mature, the jobs pay well, and the users are very qualified on average in my experience, but it's a more niche job market than react/redux/node.js and all the other hip stuff. If you want to learn Scala for any other reason though, go ahead, it can be fun and productive. Odersky's coursera course is a great introduction.
Licensing is impossible if you don't run this on Apple hardware. The macOS license only allows you to install and run macOS on devices that came with it and this includes virtualization.
