Thank you.

Not to mention in the article: No numbers are reviewed, no deaths per million KWh of energy produced. No balance of pros and cons and the mixture of energy sources needed to address a modern economy. No addressing storage or peak production demands.

I wonder who wrote the article:

> Gregory Jaczko served on the Nuclear Regulatory Commission... he is the founder of Wind Future LLC

So an ex-nuclear regulator who voted against nuclear is now a salesperson and profiteer for the wind industry.

And the article was published on a news site that implies they are 'saving our democracy from darkness'.

I feel this is such a blatant PR sub and obvious conflict of interest with no attempt at even feigning journalistic objectivity. If anything I'd say this article is less information about the perils of nuclear and instead is an example of the issues with revolving doors between regulators and the people they regulate and/or the competitors of the people they regulate plus a lack of journalistic ethics.

fish shell discovers its own filesystem path, and then looks for resources (completions, functions, etc) relative to that path. You can move a fish directory hierarchy to someplace else and it will still work.

One advantage is testing. To test fish, it first must be installed into a directory tree, but relative paths are preferred over build-time paths, so there is no special "build for test" mode. Also this makes it easier for fish to invoke itself as part of a test.

A second advantage is embedding. GNU encourages supporting relocation [1], and fish also provides a Mac app which can be run from anywhere, no installation.

Anyways there's a lot of benefits if a shell can find itself.

Tbh, I'd hate to be a motivated CS-student today.

You're just bombarded with the stuff that you should know - well, according to internet forums, at least.

On top of your basic CS curriculum, you should also be "crushing it" in:

- Full-stack development
- Research-level Machine Learning
- Heavy side projects like creating your own crypto currency, algorithmic trading platform, or whatever.

All while burning through the tens to hundreds of leetcode problems.

And of course, if you're a frequent visitor of certain forums or blogging platforms, you will find some user that's doing all of the above. Flashy website, writing research papers on the latest ML/Deep Learning models, writing interactive and insightful tutorials on leetcode problems, all while keeping a 4.0 throughout their CS-studies and climbing up the career-ladder and getting better internships every year.

I think that if you're comparing yourself to those types, and trying to keep up with them, you're gonna end up spending a lot of time without getting much done.

Of course, all while visiting the usual suspects of time-thieves (FB, Twitter, HN, Reddit, etc.)

There's this myth being perpetuated on most CS career forums (where 99% of the posters are other CS students) that you need to be some super-human rock star to even be worthy of the most lowly position. It's that, or bust.
$50k is not alot considering how much it would have harmed the share price with the negative press reports around the world. It could have even taken the company to the brink of extinction. For comparison, to get middle section, right hand side 1/2 page article written in the Sunday Times and Observer would have cost you about £30k 10 years ago to be introduced to the journalists writing your advert masquerading as a story. Multiply that up for all the global news outlets and the $50k bug bounty was a pittance. I wouldnt have been surprised if Musks day to day wine cellar was several times more expensive than that $50k bug bounty.

18 years ago my peak earning rate was £5k an hour so dont knowingly undersell yourselves in your day job or with bug bounty's. Simple letter govt agency's will also cover stuff up, using state broadcasters and other so called free press media outlets to put a spin on things or outright mislead. Seen this twice now.
Yes, just as they still smuggle tobacco products into areas where they are perceived to be excessively taxed. The problem is overtaxation, not the nature of the product.
It does if you have 8 pints, and pints are far more convenient as a size for many liquids than a litre.

In California, the black market is estimated as twice the size of the legal market (1). This is the natural result when you make it excruciatingly difficult to open legal businesses, and impose in some municipalities (including Los Angeles) north of 30% taxes on product with no break given for medical patients who might rely on this for their disease. There is also a lack of enforcement of illegal dispensaries, which contributes to there being at least 2835 illegal dispensaries compared to 873 licensed dispensaries state wide (2).

There's a Pacific Ocean between "they're stupid little humans" and "they can have free roam of the Internet and make their own decisions about content." Look how effectively antivaxxers, flat-earthers, and QAnon have infected the minds of adults, and now imagine the effects on a mind 5x as blank-slate/open to suggestion.

The fear of punishment can be replaced with the fear of becoming a junkie and education can prevent that. Sure, some will become junkies and so be it, it's their life and that choice belongs to them. When I say legalizing drugs I don't mean encouraging them. Drugs like Heroin, Meth, Coke (and the list doesn't end here) are indeed dangerous and disgusting, but people still do them and the reason is because their lives are messed up or they themselves are messed up. If drugs were legal accessible junkies wouldn't need to turn into criminals.
With illegal drugs there is a great incentive by drug dealers to hook more and more people up and make them do whatever it takes to get their next dose. If the next dose is very easy to get and cheap I bet you'd either not see junkies come to light or a lot of them would be semi-functional and be on drugs throughout their lives without many of us not even be aware of it. The fear will come from seeing irresponsible people ruin their lives and not wanting to be one of them. Alcohol too has a high potential of abuse and yet not a large number of people abuse it as it was thought during the prohibition.
What's a concrete eli5 example of how a base 12 system would be a benefit? The number 12 still exists. The base just dictates when the order of magnitude changes, so larger numbers can be represented with slightly fewer digits, but I don't see much more. Am I missing something?
You should contact a lawyer to answer these kinds of questions.
The cartels will still be in businesses if the legal option included a 30% tax, as we see in California with the legal weed business.
One reason for the large numbers is that so when data is imported into a drawing it is immediately obvious whether it shares the same coordinate system. If multiple sets of points from different disciplines are imported into the program then the draftsman knows whether the coordinate systems are the same by visual inspection (to a rough degree).

Also because nobody wants to use negative numbers or have the possibility of a negative number showing up.
Two differences: Google is way ahead, and they definitely have some quality control or manual editing happening on the algorithmically generated models - at least for higher profile buildings.
Right. Its a good message and diverges a bit from my point:

All organizations can access the capital markets now. It a waste of public resources from the “legitimate” states to try to whitelist transactions so stop burdening everyone over that because its pointless. The end.

I am curious how the market will value these enterprises if they begin giving steady dividends. The price discovery is fascinating.
> Toyota couldn't push out a fix. They had to issue a recall and have a technician update the software whenever that car ended up being serviced.

This gives all the more incentive to get the software correct in the first place. The model of "get the software as bug-free as possible upfront using stringent processes, testing, formal methods, and not using software in the first place when it's not actually needed" is better than the model of "put software into as many components as possible to make it shiny and get the software good enough to release before our competitors and play whack-a-mole on the bugs later through updates". Instantaneous updates make it easier for an attacker to take control of the update infrastructure and push an update that will trigger a mass-crash of cars during rush hour. When people have to asynchronously take the car to dealerships over many months, it makes this attack harder to go undetected.

The US system's main strength is that there are a bunch of human-scale subunits (gallon, pint, cup, etc.). However, the issue is that there's a lot of those subunits (some useful, some not).

Converting between the units is a pain: not because the conversion is hard (the conversion ratios are usually whole numbers), but rather because there's a lot of units and it's difficult to remember how they relate to each other (e.g. what's the relation between a pint and a gallon?).
I am a Mac user, but now that you've mentioned this, I'll upvote the parent on general principle. While I don't think Vimac is specifically for me, it's odd little system-level utilities like this that would make it really tough for me to switch to Windows -- or Linux -- if I couldn't find equivalents.
I wanted a mono repo and I did manage to do it. But it was not elegant and I kind of pity whoever came after me and needed to maintain and extend that without me being there to explain the model.
That is exactly what makes system so powerful. Ease of conversion between units and use in physics and engineering.

Only thing I hate about system is kilogram... The French... Couldn't do it properly. I really wish we would use grav instead...
I don't know if you could ever stop a low cost drone short of using a shotgun. Even if you had some sort of directed EMP technology, the drone could position itself along the correct precomputed vector from far away, cut off electric, and glide the bomb to the target silently.
Looks like a misunderstanding.

I think it's likely that OP was genuine and not snarky, Mr.Dang.

As in, since Musk is known to not be 'punctual' as he himself has said in his presentations, since he is known to not have these two in sync 1. Announcement of products with production dates 2. Actual product market release dates, OP may have meant he is surprised Musk seem to be rushing with Neuralink and not delaying as seem to be the case with his other companies.
That’s because nothing has changed except we learned that it is easier to manage regions if you dont annex them and instead let the nearest bystander run the country.

The people there accept it and it is cheaper and you still get the resources for all eternity, which is all you really wanted.
No, it's not easy to dismantle cartels and that is because of how much money and power they amassed under the current status quo. But making drugs legal would definitely cut the cartels funding and they would eventually dwindle into obscurity and small time crime. The current power of the cartels is only due to the big money that are in the game, hundreds of billions of dollars a year!!

Not that providing equal opportunities is a bad thing by any means, but I don't think it solves this problem. In a city of a million people, even a very egalitarian one, the most psychopathic person in the city is going to be pretty psychopathic.
For a state backed terrorist organization, the cost of drones could be even lower. Mass production and very low complexity of engineering will make it easy and cheap to produce drones. Add to that, the cost of failure and innovation is also very less, consequently, the use of drones will increase exponentially.

Just imagine what destruction a terrorist can create if he can launch a 100 drones, from miles away, to attack a filled stadium.
your response wrt black markets strikes me as incredibly naive knowing all the crime, murder, gross negligence causing death and corruption there is and has been literally everywhere on the planet, since forever, for money
That's true and we should embrace it. Higher-level languages should empower us. We should use profilers to measure actual bottlenecks when necessary, not make every potential bottleneck more painful to write and read forever.
I may be wrong, but I don't think this is what people mean by 'sum types'.

I was expecting union types (e.g., https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/unions-and-inte... or https://dotty.epfl.ch/docs/reference/new-types/union-types.h... )

I guess enums are a type of sum type, but seems this is more specifically about enums

I'm surprised the game doesn't make more use of Microsoft's existing building data and aerial photography. Maybe someone can explain. But Bing maps has very detailed 3D building shape data and aerial "Birds Eye" photography. But in MFS2020 when I fly over neighborhoods with lots of trees the houses get mangled in ridiculous ways. Why would they only use low fidelity satellite imagery for this?
The implied “all for-profit companies are evil” argument is radically oversimplified, IMO. It is possible to maximize profit by efficiently providing value.

Most of the downward pressure to cut corners in any industry is not from profiteers but from customers themselves.

> Who's out there that would exploit this because they thought $50,000 wasn't worth it, but would change their minds for $1,000,000?

The article says the max bug bounty was increased to $15k eventually, so it was even less than that at the time even though they gave him $50k. Kudos to whoever at Tesla stepped up and gave him extra.

I'd seriously consider not reporting something like that for $15k unless I was worried about someone else exploiting it and having a trail of access logs lead back to me. People that discover bugs like that with massive destructive potential must be on every TLA list on the planet afterwards and I don't think that's worth $15k.

$1 million is life changing and puts you into a higher social class. IE: Poor == probably a criminal. Rich == probably not a criminal. It's sad, but that's the way it works and I'd rather be rich if I were on a short list of "dangerous" hackers.

Most people in the world just buy their petrol per liter directly and it's priced at <currency amount> / liter, there is no conversion needed, the "gallon" is just an arbitrary measure.
Why can't shotguns be automated. Building a personal "anti-aircraft/drone" gun should be feasible.
You cannot have active measures against an intelligent swarm of drones.

If drones are wired to explode in case of landing or power failure, active measures cannot be taken when the drones are over crowded areas or near high profile targets.

The alternative would be to destroy them from far away areas. And that is really really hard.

I guess we have to come up with special guns and ammunition that can create a wall of destruction for drones.
I think the use of an enum (in the Rust example) makes this a sum type situation: https://tonyarcieri.com/a-quick-tour-of-rusts-type-system-pa...
Maybe the best anti drone would be a swarm of drones you send off to crash into another drone? You could model the schooling from fish or birds, then just have enough of them fill the air with enough density to guarantee a hit of the target within the error of the range finding technology.
Oddly, no. I’m as surprised as you are.

Alternatively, document it with trusted timestamps and don't report it. Then if someone else exploits it you could parlay the media frenzy into a lot of publicity that's probably worth more than the tiny bounties many companies pay.

You have to weigh the risks of manipulating cars one at a time because they don't have the latest updates with the risk of manipulating all cars at once because they can be remote controlled. A more expensive alternative to over the air updates is requiring regular updates done by a mechanic, e.g. when the vehicle is due for an inspection.

There are a few reasons I can think of:

There has been a historical connection to Italy for centuries, with tens of thousands (estimates up to ~100,000) that settled there during the Middle Ages through roughly the 1800s, due to the Ottoman invasion (known as Arberesh). Related to this, there was a military alliance between more than one Italian monarch and Albania (technically not a cohesive Albania, but the de-facto leader of the time, and incidentally, national hero, Skanderbeg) due to the Ottoman threat in the 1400s.

During the post-WWII communist regime, Italy was our closest neighbor from the west. Culturally closed off to the rest of the world, their TV and radio signals provided a glimpse of it in a country where there was 1 TV and 1 radio station, both regime-controlled. Conjecture, but it makes sense to me that there would be a gradual identification/comfort level with that culture.

The actual reason though: simply immigration. After the regime fell, beginning with the exodus of 1991, by the mid 90s, there were about a half million Albanians living in Italy, and by the end of the 90s, close to a million. You bet the majority worked blue collar/black market jobs wherever they could find them. That experience translates into a similar field in the US (where they primarily immigrated to, although I'm sure equally applicable to other nations)

I could've just written "immigration" but I thought you might appreciate a more thorough perspective. This topic has come up a ton with friends and colleagues before - you're not the first.

EDIT: Also perhaps because... Italian food is cheap, easy to make and very popular, thus profitable ;)
> I don't know if this is strictly legal either, but definitely more plausible deniability.

Presumably you're into the system by the time you've discovered the exploit, so you're on the wrong side of the CFAA in the US and IMO the law would come down on you _hard_ if you acted in bad faith like that.

Even failing to report it might ruffle enough feathers for the company to use their political connections to have you prosecuted. I suspect that's also part of the reason the bounties are so low.
