It's a tepid phrase because the effect just won't be as big as you're thinking. Nobody in the United States is going to need to escape to Canada - the primary displacement problem is that the specific places which support effective agriculture will change.
The problem isn't that this is illegal, the problem is that gun law loopholes(that one's Obama discussed) are really bad. These are simply gun ammo loopholes.

This is the sort of remark that undermines the cause.
The cost of the labor to build and maintain said cable makes it economically infeasible for a second ISP to build out service in many areas of the US. Permissive regulation will only enable competition in urban cores, as being a 3rd or 4th provider in suburban areas is not profitable.

Some areas have so few possible customers per mile that a fiber build by the incumbent provider would not break even for decades even with an 80% take rate by every building passed.

You're missing my point. It is that you don't know what the consequences of climate change will be. Not even any kind of estimate at all. So how can you be sure it's worth the cost of preventing?

Even scientists hardly have any idea. I'm not saying they're wrong, I'm saying they don't know.

What if we really do get increased flooding, storms, etc. like every climate scientist says, and we cope just fine?

I'm not trying to kill any question. I'm trying to ask a question! What will the consequences of climate change be? It's a pretty important one. If you can only speak in emotional language like "calamity" then you don't have any idea at all.
What is the legality of using an alpha quality build of autonomous driving software on a public road? The other drivers on the road obviously haven’t given their consent.

This makes sense to me on a conceptual level, and I think that's more or less how it works here. The difference is I believe the company you pay is just whoever owns the local infrastructure, and they take care of buying / supplying on the wholesale market.

For example, I live in Iowa, which is a huge wind energy state. Most of the wind farms are actually owned by out of state electric companies though. I'm sure the electricity actually gets used in the strictest sense right here next to the wind mills, but it gets credited to people hundreds of miles away.

The wind farm up by where I grew up is actually owned by the Tennessee Valley Authority [1], despite being no where near Tennessee.

No, it's not. So far you don't know anything about the price or the actual speeds that will be offered. So far all we know is that the latency numbers that were promised of sub 20ms are clearly not going to happen.

Be careful what you do with a Japanese tokenizer. Just because you got an ability(or I'd like to call it probability since it's not perfect) to tokenize Japanese doesn't mean you can process Japanese like the language you familiar with. Please, don't do clever things. It's better to just leave Japanese string as binary blob and treat it as is, passing left to right without any modification.

It is my observation that the programmer of native Indo-European languages tend to have a delusion that their native language is so fundamental that any language processing they deemed necessary must be applied to the any and all languages in the world.

Which cause the locale library in most programming languages tend to have a feature that's unfit for Japanese and it break the Japanese. Yes, the presence of the locale library break the Japanese language support.

These locale libraries modify the string binary and break the Japanese encoding. You can't easily implement no-op local for Japanese because these modification are often cause by the fundamental common part of the library rather than language specific part.

People have a good intention. They want to support multiple languages. but it's a delusion that passing the string binary to locale library magically solve the problem. The locale libraries were often written badly for Japanese so it break the Japanese. I would like to call it locale-tainted.

Since The locale library is part of the standard library of the programming languages and many software relies on it. We can't just avoid using locale library without massive refactoring of the source code which is impossible given the available resource for localization. So if we, the unfortunate Japanese programmer, got a job of localizing locale-tainted existing software to Japanese, we have to come up some workarounds.

Modifying the source code to remove the locale library usage is the best but often not possible. Hooking locale library to replace it with Japanese-safe version are dirty workaround but it requires to reimplement most of the text manipulation which cost many man-monthes and rigorous testing, Imagine implementing a printf/regex library to replace the standard library that satisfy all the use case in the wild. The worst workaround is let the stupid locale library do whatever the stupid Japanese breaking string binary transformation they damn want, then, reverse-transform after the string binary passing through the locale library to fix the mess. A mess that was unnecessary in the first place.

I was involved in C++ Standard Committee but people out there are so delusional they think it's a good idea for a new standard library to depend on broken locale library because it help the localization. Those delusional people are also designing Unicode library now. They won't fart out a good library under such delusion. I lost all hope for this industry.

So please. Don't introduce stupid unnecessary language processing to the language you don't understand. Make our job less horrible.

> US antitrust is unlikely to side with Epic here.

Having done a little digging into the relevant case law I agree with your assessment, US courts have generally been very reluctant to find antitrust violations in aftermarket scenarios where the customer was fully aware of aftermarket limitations before purchasing a product, had the opportunity to buy an alternative product without such limitations, and proceeded to buy the original product anyway.

I think the most likely outcome is Epic's case is dismissed based on failure to establish that "iOS app distribution" is a separate and relevant market for antitrust purposes.
Why is that impressive if the original press announcement said it would be < 20ms?

You really trust Congress to be technical enough to describe “a general purpose computer”? Did you see the hearings two weeks ago?

I cannot say it was any specific fact or technique I learned. I would say it gave me access to an additional mindset which my colleagues did not possess.

It ended up being a powerful ‘soft’ asset in a transition to engineering management, by virtue of being the staffmember able to identify and resolve problems which originated in cultural and linguistic domains.

One does not need IR training to (say) socially engineer a budget prioritization for sending engineers on overseas exchanges, but I feel it influenced my thinking in this regard.
It's going to get worse. Right now it's completely uncongested. The terminals are not built to handle two satellites at the same time, so the throughput they are getting now is likely close to the maximum that they will be seeing.
I agree with you, but something like a 30% reduction in human population is an extremely traumatic event for all the remaining human population.

Both the speeds and the latency are worse than what was originally promised. there have also been no pricing for the plans, nor have there been pricing for the equipment. This has been the biggest downsides since day one.
This is part of a tradeoff that UniDic makes between "natural" word boundaries and other factors like reproducibility and usefulness for search indexes.

UniDic has a rule that a "word" (or a "short unit word" 短単位, the unit used in UniDic) can't be more than two "minimal units", where an example of a minimal unit is a kanji with a Chinese reading. So 麩菓子 can't be a word, and in this case it's 菓子 with 麩 on the front.

You can read more about short unit words here.

It's not a perfect tradeoff, and I think it can be improved, but it does have its advantages.

Although there's merit to the fact that people can be blinded by their wealth-bubbles to the point that they cannot adequately identify/assess solutions to address problems that seem obvious to the rest of society, to discount someone's views based on their wealth-bubble status is likely ultimately a recipe for division, grid-lock, and a more closed-off society. Perhaps it's more useful to try to evlauate an individual's ideas based on the merits of their feasbility and overall utility versus writing them off by default in order to achieve a more functional society for everyone?

As someone who was on the GS for the better part of a decade, it leaves a lot to be desired. IFAIK the USPS uses banded GS which allows some wiggle room. Fully funding would allow the USPS to attract more logistics talent as well.

Even though the article touches on this a bit, it might be worth mentioning that Sweden also had some of the highest death rates in the world.

Even though I think the US has done a poor job handling COVID-19 and co-morbidities like obesity are a lot more common here, we still have a lower death rate than Sweden (although the way things are going we might catch up in a month or two)

How could you possibly tell that they're able to provide reasonable quality to customers by looking at a single speed test? There is a whole bunch of other stuff that goes into running a network other than doing a single speed test. A lot of the things that people complain about other satellite providers fall into that category.

It’s been a long time since anyone was candid with me, but at that point someone told me that all told, developers cost them about 2x my salary.

Say you have thirty six developers. You need one manager for each six, and another for those managers. You need an office administrator, and at some point that person gets an assistant. You need a few IT people and other forms of maintenance.

I never really understood how they called developers overhead, when there’s all this that actually is overhead. Not a one of those people has billable hours, for any definition of the term.
Nissan Leaf outsold Tesla for several years, until other carmakers joined the market. Tesla is just one of many.
That's not how it works. There are intentionally launching satellites at different inclinations so that they can cover more densely populated areas with more bandwidth. The speed and capacity is absolutely not uniform over the entire globe.

I agree with you. The problem is that individuals and small teams adopts enterprise best practices not realizing that smaller scale solutions might work better.

On my own projects I even deploy with cca 200 lines of Bash. It's super super fast, I understand every bit of it and can fix things quickly.

You should move to containers/CD/immutable infra when it makes sense to you and your project. But as someone already mentioned you can make containers fast as well.

I personally believe in manmade climate change but when I read about things like the "global warming pause" I get concerned.[1]

About 5 years ago there was a lot of discussion about the "pause" in the warming trend between 1998 and 2012. Nature devoted an entire issue to it.[2]

But then I start reading that the pause never happened.[3]

And if you read the wikipedia page, it sounds like there is still a lot of controversy within the climate change community whether or not global warming actually paused.

I'm not a climate scientist, so maybe I'm missing something (happy to be educated), but shouldn't we be able to tell pretty definitively whether or not the planet had been warming over that decade? Isn't there a standard way to measure global temperatures? It seems like it would be difficult to spot trends if how you're measuring it is changing over time.

I read about how "if you interpolate arctic temperatures" or "account for ocean temperatures" the "pause" disappears. But how do we know the new analysis is right and the old one was wrong? What's if it's the opposite?

Not true. 'Possible things' and 'impossible things' are two separate categories, and you can have an infinity of one that doesn't include the other.

For another example of separate infinities, consider the set of integers (1, 2, 3, 4, 5...) and the set of integers-plus-one-half (1.5, 2.5, 3.5, 4.5, 5.5...). Both are infinite, but don't contain the other.

The moment you clarify the statement you end up in a contentious political debate, so the ancestor post is trying to bait others into saying the elephant in the room without putting words in others' mouth: That some groups/ethnicities are more successful than others. The actual discussion will begin when you ask the question "why?"

In response you're arguing against a strawman. No one has _ever_ claimed that everyone must be equal in all possible ways. That's of course ridiculous. The discussion plays out more or less the same way over decades, so to save time at the risk of putting words in your mouth, I'm going to take the liberty of presenting both sides.

Let's return to the question of "why are some groups more successful than others?" If it's because of either direct oppression, or systemic oppression (i.e. policies that favour some groups over others), then affirmative action is justified. This is the position the ancestor comment holds.
Once you move past the rhetoric, there's no difference in reality between affirmative action and "oppressing Asians and whites," but the framing as just vs unjust depends on your idea of justice.

The conservative counter-narrative is decades old. It's not exactly racist, but it claims that cultural reasons are primarily to blame for disparities in success. Undoubtedly cultural reasons are partly to blame, and its possible for cultures to be improved. But a narrow focus on cultural reasons detracts from a long history of oppressive laws whose effects are still felt today.

Now we get back to what "justice" means. Does justice mean merely removing the oppressive institutions and returning to a natural law Lockian universalistic liberalism? Or does it mean correcting for past injustices.
