American culture also devalues community college in this way.

The way we break this is by changing our hiring decisions. If you have a Harvard grad (or other private university grad) in front of you, consider if they really are the right candidate. Consider recruiting from local community and public colleges, including public non-traditional colleges. Build a rapport with the job placement offices at these schools. If candidates are missing something, work with the schools to improve their curricula.
This is a thread about EVs and how a particular feature (range) that is worse than ICU cars is improving over time, which everyone wants, because we need cleaner cars for the environemnt. Nobody in here is taking the position of saying: Who cares? Just use ICU cars forever, there is no problem at all.

So I am argueing a specific point about cities. Because EV cars might be better, but are still objectively bad compared to public transport. So no, it's not about what I want, it's about the underliying point of the whole thread: What I (or really we/our children) need other people to do.
Except that the ability to copy is extremely useful.

And creating more popup-approval fatigue doesn't help anyone.

You are a super-user, so it might be the git clone URL of a really long commit. That "click to copy" button on github is really useful.

The same scenario exists from Grandma, and she will click the popup or give up in frustration - neither of which is good.

IMO, sites should be able to have access to the copy buffer but not to the paste. Paste should be available to the user with ctrl+P. Definitely not perfect, but more mitigable.
Why would they? If your state senator is a high ranking representative like the Senate Majority Leader, you like that your state has more power.

Because of the way the Senate is structured with two representatives per state regardless of the population, that gives the less populous flyover states and the “Bible Belt” way more power than their population would entitle they to.

I think the problem is one of bootstrapping. With PLCs controlling even sewage pumps society will have a lot of more important things to do before we come around to fixing elevators, automatic doors, or even chip fabs. Then there are herds of forgotten VAXen and AS400s that have been chugging along for decades running who knows what mission critical code, all gone without as much as specs remaining.

The less basic infrastructure which is wiped out the faster we can rebuild. Right now it looks like we will be falling back to whatever cam-actuated automatic lathes which have not been sold below scrap value that are left. And I hear those things are a bitch to set up.
> As far as the Facebook team knew, Tails developers were not aware of the flaw, despite removing the affected code. One of the former Facebook employees who worked on this project said the plan was to eventually report the zero-day flaw to Tails, but they realized there was no need to because the code was naturally patched out. "

So there's no way for anybody to verify that the code is actually being removed, or that the exploit won't crop up again in the future. I don't trust them or the FBI at all in this.

My 3 can exceed its rating very easily under the correct conditions. No elevation changes, about 80 degrees out, and cruise control at a steady 60. But any variance from that and it is definitely different. I have a lot of elevation change on my daily commute, and going up those hills fast does the range no favors. But on average I am pretty darn close to the rated distance. Temperature is a huge factor, if its below 45 efficiency is like 70%. If its over 90 efficiency is under 90%. Doing 80 MPH, also pretty bad for the rating. So now do 80 MPH in 95 degree weather and you are talking maybe 80% efficiency. I feel the rating on the 3 has been spot on for me, understanding the large number of variables that go into actual real world use.

Routers have been full of stupidly bad bugs for years; nothing really new here. I recall analyzing one a while back and finding that it used session tokens to determine whether one was logged into the interface. These were derived from the uptime with triple des, but the nonce was a constant string of text and the key was based off of interface mac addresses. One has to wonder, at that point, why do anything at all?
Here how I've been told the story of the C919 by people working at Airbus. Airbus wanted to sell planes to China. China said OK, but you must build a factory in Tianjin and assemble the planes there, with Chinese workers and engineers. So Airbus did that.

They then built the factory for the C919 in Shanghai, and there went most of the people who previously worked at the Airbus factory. :)

Apart from the zero-energy universe, which is quite an interesting conjecture, as far as I understand, considering gravitational energy to be negative it is only a convenience. There is really no absolute energy value, the only thing that matter is energy deltas and you can pick a zero point arbitrarily. IANAP of course.

I don't dislike our current government but am starved of political opposition. I think this is reasonable in the context of the last decade of German politics.

The reason we got this transparency is the implicit demand for open solutions, not because of generous overlords. You could make tracking mandatory but it would certainly be a huge failure in the end. So they reacted to a demand and I have more where that came from. To repeat, I have no issues how it was handled here. Baby steps...

Answering a "why" is a bit difficult when it comes to reality. It's just the way it is, and if it were different, you would be asking why it is that way instead, if you still existed at all.

If you're instead asking what causes the "force" you feel as gravity, then I suppose that can actually be usefully answered with the usual disclaimers about scientific models being only as good as their predictive power. Fortunately, one can accurately explain many phenomena with Newton's theories and even more with general relativity.

My own (layman) understanding is that the attracting effect of gravity is caused by the shape of spacetime itself; all objects within spacetime generally move "straight", but they must also conform to the shape of spacetime. However, those objects also affect the "shape" such that very massive objects have a macro-scale noticeable effect on the trajectory of other objects. and effectively what is "straight" is dependent on the local region of spacetime. I like to visualize it as a straight line on a piece of paper and how that line changes shape as the paper is bent.
Yes, as Canadian, Avro Arrow does leave a "What if..." thought in my mind but having said that, I am proud of my countrymen as we have achieved quiet a lot since then (given our tiny population and difficult logistics):

Canada Space Arm, Blackberry (RIM), Bombardier aircrafts/subways/streetcars/trains, de Havilland aircrafts as well as other aircrafts (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_aircraft_of_Canada%27s...).

As to why was Avro Arrow scrapped - sure there are explanations and the leading ones tend to indicate external political pressure coming from USA but I am not bitter at the reasons behind it because it is one thing to be cross at the decision but I don't have any clear idea as to actual reasons and the thought process of our leaders at the time.
There were slaves before the black people

My grandmother from my father's side was enslaved by Nazis not long ago

Master/slave has nothing to do with black people, it was picked up because it was the right terminology for the job.

Master-slave was already in use in Mesopotamia (3.000 b.c.) in religious texts to express the relation between Gods and men.

BTW there have been slaves long after black people were freed in US, for example in Zarist Russia it was abolished in 1861 when half of the population were serves, but it kinda went on the same

In 1915 Nikolai Berdayev (a russian philosopher) wrote

> “Russia is a country of unbelievable servility and terrible humility, a country lacking any consciousness of the rights of the individual, and which fails to stand up for the dignity of the individual…”

There have been slaves in USSR

There were slaves during Franco dictatorship, that lasted until 1975

There are slaves in many third World countries right now in the form of forced labour, forced sexual exploitation, forced marriage and forced relocation

Thinking that slavery is a monopoly of black people from US is a form of cultural appropriation itself.

Yes exactly! There are lots of more effective ways to take action (and changing your twitter pic likely isn't a big one). Donating to BLM causes, employee time, lobbying, etc, as you have mentioned.

In this case, GitHub took actions similar to what you describe, donating $500k to "nonprofits helping communities adversely affected by the Trump administration’s immigration policies": https://www.latimes.com/business/technology/story/2019-10-31...

Personally I think $500k is a bit small, and if I were Nat Friedman in this situation, maybe I would have announced a few extra paid leave days for employees engaging in protest, strikes, visiting elected officials to lobby for change, etc.

Nat Friedman's quote on this particular request from employees is "Picking and choosing customers is not the approach that we take to these types of questions when it comes to influencing government policy."
"Guilt is, like innocence, not collective, but personal...The vast majority of today's population were either children then or had not been born. They cannot profess a guilt of their own for crimes that they did not commit. No discerning person can expect them to wear a penitential robe simply because they are Germans. But their forefathers have left them a grave legacy. All of us, whether guilty or not, whether old or young, must accept the past."
Except with credit cards you get some protection. As a consumer, you can refuse any purchase before money gets taken out of your account for it.

The merchant gets to pay for that, and indirectly it means the people paying cash are subsidizing credit card users, since the prices are identical.

Again, cannot win.

I think you might have that backward. Test scores are somewhat influenced by the income level of the student's parents: wealthier families can afford to give their kids resources like study time, books, tutors, a home environment that values academic success, etc., that result in higher scores.

A holistic process mitigates that disparity.

I highly doubt the intent of this change is to "favor rich kids" or any of the things in the other comments in this thread, which strike me as exceptionally mean-spirited.
I'm at the limit of my understanding myself, but here's what I think is being said:

CRISPR refers to the kind of DNA site that can be targeted for cleavage, while CAS9 is a protein that, paired with an RNA matching that site, can cleave wherever it encounters a matching sequence.

I think these guys are pairing a variation of the CRISPR approach with a laser. They pre-bond with the DNA, but the actual cleavage occurs when they shine a laser at the right frequency at the site. That lets them decide when and where on the DNA strand cleavage happens.

If anyone understands this better than me, I'd appreciate any corrections to my explanation ;P

Google Receives $25M in Equity Funding (1999)
This sounds like the USA, or any other country when they are still growing and developing as it sounds like the UAE.

Did the industrialists in the UK care about sustainability? Did the European colonialists care about sustainability?

Only now that our countries somewhat have our shit together we start caring about how clean our air is, how long our stockpile of resources/money lasts and how good and kind we are to our earth.

When your biggest struggle is having enough money to eat. That's your priority. Later on when your biggest issue is pollution because it will shorten your lifespan that's what you fight for.
If you have an urgent care situation in Canada, you can walk into an emergency room or clinic and yes, your care will be triaged, but within a reasonable period (a few hours at most for most issues, e.g. a new persistent pain in your arm) but more typically within about an hour or less for most issues, (like a broken limb would be near immediate) you will be able to see a doctor and recieve first line assessment and treatment.

If you need additional imagery or specialist study, you then do have to schedule these things. I've gone through this process in the last year and had multiple kinds of medical imagery done, as well as a procedure by a specialist in response to a doctor's initial findings. The appointments for imagery and specialist work were completed within the week following my initial appointment. In the past for far less urgent issues, I've had to wait up to a month.

All of this was comfortable, timely, and safe, and I did not ever have to wonder what expenses might arise. In the United States, this would have certainly destroyed all of my savings.

I'm glad your mother received the care she needed and is well, and I don't have personal experience dealing with cancer diagnosis and treatment here, so it may of course be different! But my own small issues could have destroyed me financially in America, or I would have more likely just never had them dealt with, and I am ostensibly in the relative financial elite as a decently paid tech worker with some actual savings.

Please, don't snidely smear this system, in a post about airplanes for god's sake! And certainly not on the basis of "death lists", and certainly not in comparison to America, because the United States has plain old deaths at home to far outweigh them, where no one was even waiting for anything.

The health care system here has issues, sure. Big issues! But in comparison to the American system it is an unmitigated good, at the absolute least for everyone with less than say, a million dollars in liquid savings.

Nice link from Casey there. I was captured by his analysis of perchlorates in the soil, because you can decompose it to release oxygen, as well as obviously make another type of rocket fuel (on top of other local products like methane, oxygen, and hydrogen).

In practice, there is no coherent "separation of power". Power is not some multivalent thing which can be exercised differently by different institutions.

Power here is the ability of one group to direct/constrain the actions of another.. the judiciary, the executive and the legislature all exercise the same power.

The only thing "separation" achieves is a system of mutual antagonism which functions (poorly) as a system of accountability.

Here, congress at any point can redress "legislating from the bench" (ie., establishing legal precedent) by passing new law. If the judiciary ignores this law, then they can be removed from office.

I cannot see any circumstance here where the legislature has issues new law in redress for a judicial ruling and then the judiciary has gone on to ignore it.

What we're talking about here is when judges have simply "made up rules" where the law fails to provide answers. that is the role of the judiciary in a common law system!

It's what provides for reasonable standards of individual freedom which adapt to the age. rather than havign everyone legislataed by an infinite number of rules est. in 1701

Utterly fascinating article.

The main takeaways seem to be that 1) extensions in general wind up massively increasing CPU time (by 5-20x) when loading "example.com", and 2) ad blockers wind up massively reducing CPU time (by 4-20x) when loading a "WCPO news article".

Which makes me happy that I use uBlock (edit: Origin, thanks below), and sad that I have to use LastPass.

HOWEVER -- I feel like both these metrics are potentially highly misleading, because CPU time isn't something the user directly observes -- it might be the limiting factor, or it might not affect the user experience at all (because the CPU usage is happening while waiting for further network resources that are even slower, or the CPU usage is happening after the page has visually finished loading all relevant content).

I'd be much more interested to see how extensions like Evernote or LastPass increase the time it takes for a real webpage (e.g. "nytimes.com") to finish painting the viewport not including ads, and similarly whether adblocking actually decreases the same -- or if all the advertising stuff really only happens afterwards. (Because sites are architected differently, you'd need to compute an aggregate score across a range of common sites.)

> Geany is basically just a simple, slightly mediocre GUI text editor-which might be what you’re looking for in some cases-but do note that most people’s command-line text editor setups are generally more advanced than it.

Not only that it can be used to compile programs directly, it's a bit more than just a basic editor. It has tabs, syntax highlighting, plugins, great line bookmarks, a function/symbol sidebar, autocomplete, multiline edit, color schemes, powerful search/replace and a sound way to wrap long lines.

Via plugins, it has a minimap, it can go directly to functions (ctrl + click on the function call), has a git integration (showing added/deleted lines not commited yet), highlight of the current variable, pretty print xml and much more stuff I do not use, like a workplace.

It's no nano (I use and like nano).

Procrastination is often the result of a form of perfectionism.

Or rather, knowing that a half assed job will only backfire when we have to present it.

The solution is to break things down into smaller units and increase collaboration with others. This is also true of solitary things like working out or quitting a bad habit.

Lower your client’s expectations of a first draft etc. and involve one of their low level stakeholders in a collaboration.

Then you will stop procrastinating.
