Compression methods reduce the size of the code, but that does not matter when assessing the efficiency of the base instruction encoding.

If you would apply the same compression methods to a more compact original encoding then the compressed code would be even smaller.

Competing ISAs, such as ARM (Thumb), MIPS (nanoMIPS) and POWER also have compressed encoding variants.

> has been repeatedly been debunked in practice...

You say debunked, then link to a table with a near total consensus that we'll have hit peak oil by 2060. The exception being the EIA putting out 2067 as a stretch goal. That is not a table of crackpots, that is groups like the World Bank, IEA, Shell, etc.

Debunked usually means 'disproven', not 'consensus position'.

> Then two things will happen: we will consume less and expand the scope of production to more expensive source.

Either of those outcomes are a bigger threat than climate change.

> This has already happened repeatedly over the history of the fossil fuel industry.

We haven't ever hit peak oil before.
You can have unlimited liability corporations, but that is beside the point.

Same here. I’m very surprised to learn that these aren’t universal.
There is a difference between passing a length as a function argument, and actually storing string lengths alongside the strings in memory.

It's not unheard of to have millions of tiny little (< 10 character) strings, and not storing lengths alongside them can shave off a sizeable portion of space requirements.
Ok - so we agree on a problem.

That's just not true, there are array expressions, and arrays are part of the type system. I give him more credit than that. (The "you can't copy them" is technically untrue as well but that is just because of sloppy wording.)

- A concise syntax for declaring, accessing and mutating them. Dealing with lists is such a common thing in programming languages, that it's simply crazy to not have a proper syntax for them.

- Generics/templating, so that you can use concrete types instead of 'void *'. Having that prevents mistakes and also tends to make code self-documenting.

>Every company I've interviewed with requires IP assignment agreement.

of course they do, you're a knowledge worker for them. they need to own what you create.

a standard phrasing includes "related to the employer's business". see for yourself: https://www.lawinsider.com/clause/intellectual-property-assi...

"during the period of his employment relating to the business of the Company". If your contract doesn't have the words "relating to the business of the Company" then add those words in yourself, signing and dating the change and telling the company of your change.

you're not their slave you know. they don't get stuff you make in your free time. however, not replicating the company's business is a fair requirement, since they might share enough information with you to do just that. I think it's fair for them to get everything related to their business.
Very impressive, what is a good resource for an interested layman to learn more about earth science and deep time?
In terms of throughput, not a problem at all. With proper GPU computing techniques you can do full color correction and so on at dozens of Gigapixels per second on a single desktop GPU (bound by memory bandwidth).

The problem is more with bandwidth and working memory. For example, if you'd stream the image to a GPU (at 6.4 GB per image, assuming it's greyscale 16 bit), you're just being bottlenecked by PCIe plain and simple. GPU memory sizes aren't favorable to these sizes, either, most models don't have enough memory to have one input and one output buffer (assuming you also want 16 bit out). So, with a single GPU the bus would limit you to around 1-2 pictures per second.

However, the quoted throughput is "30 TB per night", that's only one GB per second. So it's plausible (but unlikely they do) to process all of the data on a single desktop PC with a GPU and a dual 10 GbE NIC card.

Let's not speculate on how evacuation can be handled in a regulation-compliant way. I can certainly imagine a system where trafic is reliably halted when pedestrians are detected on the main lane. You might counter that such a system is unreliable, and until a regulator looks over such a proposal, it's impossible to predict their decision. Let's just agree that there is no fundamental physical reason that prevents humans traveling in vehicles down 3m wide shafts - see for example elevators.

I don't really understand what you mean by maintenance of the system used for diverting from the main lane - it's essentially the same thing as an exit ramp from a highway, but much shorter since the reliability of the automated driver is a built-in design factor.

The lane shift maneuver requires about 1s, so about 15m of widened tunnel at the entrance and exit of the stations. An additional 20m of is required for reliable deceleration and acceleration respectively, which would be handled by dedicated tunnels serving the station. I agree that these interfaces would handle much less vehicles, but it would drive down the throughput of the respective station, not that of the main lane.

Regarding the size of the underground station - why not make it on the surface? You can have much steeper ramps in an automated, controlled system, if for example de-icing is guaranteed near the surface with dedicated heaters, the quality and grip of the tires is controlled etc. Essentially, any down-town parking can be transformed in a very large station by dedicating o few hundred m^2 for these ramps.

Oh sure! But skepticisim isn't denial. You denied, calling it 'magic'. You back it up, with stats and science, not namecalling.

> But the problem for .. anyone who tries to ground moral truth in the natural world, is that moral truths, like mathematical truths, are necessarily true, which means that it’s impossible for them to be false.

What a bizarre argument. Mathematical truths are defined to be true -- entirely the opposite of what the author is trying to claim about moral truths, so this is about as absurd a comparison as one could make.

I'm no expert but this article reads to me like hand-waving psychobabble.

More important for what? And for whom? Someone who just shaved 100% off of their 70-minute commute probably doesn't give a fuck that their awareness of the "local geography" (see: trash-draped blackberry bushes on the highway shoulder) is "eroding."

Some of your points are legit (particularly 6), but your dismissal of what you call "first order effects" is essentially just proving OP's meta-point about the terms in which the discussion is being held.

NB: this is not specific to the social sciences. psychology, cognitive sciences, medicine(!), and other fields have a 'replication crisis' also. there are some really good papers on this.

I'm going to tackle this question with all the naivete of someone who has no real idea what they're talking about but has an intuitive feeling for how things might be. Some possible scenarios:

1. The company exists to be profitable for its owners. In this case, a share has value based on how much profit is divided among these shares.

2. The company exists to be sold. In this case, a share has value as a piece of that sale value.

3. The company exists to make a difference in society. In this case, a share can have value as a "vote" in how the company is run. How meaningful this "vote" is depends on how the shares have been distributed.

I think where private shares can sometimes run into trouble is that there's no clear answer to what value having a piece of the company brings. At a privately-held company I worked at, we got options but nobody was buying (and we weren't really looking to sell). There was no profit sharing. And the vast majority of shares were owned by an investment group so having a "vote" didn't matter. In that case, it turned out that that group sold to another and at that point we had to exercise our options in order to sell those shares to the buyer, so those options did end up having value. But for many years they were effectively worthless regardless of what dollar value the company put on them because nobody was actually buying.
No I don't have any superior alternatives at scale. For anything I can get away with, I avoid large scale places completely. Of course it's not always possible. I'm just tired of non-experts giving opinions and having the power to enforce those opinions.

I think wikipedia is as good as it can get given the constrains it has. Some kind of vetting process for experts on specific fields could potentially be useful for specific information though. But the matter of fact is that I have pretty much stopped using wikipedia for anything but the most rudimentary info check. I rarely even check the sources they provide. If I want more than the couple paragraphs wikipedia has on most subjects I go straight to books an sometimes I skip wikipedia altogether when I know that it won't be enough.

The big companies do not typically like these licenses, tending to read them as "all rights reserved" instead of "do whatever you want". Here's Google's explanation: https://opensource.google/docs/thirdparty/licenses/#wtfpl-no...
1. I don't think finding a qualified "business" person will be excessively difficult. From my experience, there is an under-supply of engineers and an over-supply of business people wanting to found. Thus, if you are an engineer from a FAANG company, there should be large demand for your skillset by business people looking to found. That being said, the main ways to find non-technical co-founders is via network (your FAANG friends are bound to know someone, ask them for an introduction) and events. Also, don't be afraid to cold reachout to someone who might be interesting.
2. Be sure you want a "business" person in your founding team. Many great companies made it without one. If you need very deep domain knowledge then yes, it can be beneficial to have such a person. However, that being said, if you don't have knowledge in that domain you should also not really be looking to found in that domain. However, that is besides the point. Many "business" skills like sales, marketing and fundraising can be learned to a good enough standard by most technical cofounders. I have always has bad experience taking on non-techincal co-founders to handle the "business" part.

Just to make this clear, I do not think "business" co-founders are useless. There are a lot of very good ones that bring a lot of value. All I am saying is that I have made bad experiences taking in "business" people to handle the "business" part of the startup. Most of the time you can (and should) learn the necessary skills yourself. Every startup needs technical co-founders, however most startups don't NEED non-technical co-founders.

> Anonymity is crucial to voting

Why do you think it is crucial? It did not exist in USA until 1888, it did not exist in Rome until 139 BC, start of the end of Roman republic.

And in Rome the secret ballot actually have caused civil war, by encouraging the people to vote for laws they could not defend.

So voting have worked well without anonymity in the past, and you need better argument why anonymity is crucial, before starting to explore all the unnecessary complexity that it adds to voting.

The problem with wikipedia is that the existing editors tend to drive away experts who are willing to edit things for free though. Like one comment here about the random editor with a beginner's textbook reverting edits with information that was not in their textbook( that were properly cited from well-known books). That's just ridiculous and I'm blown away at the level of hubris that makes you trust your own lack of knowledge more than proper citations.

Addressing some FAQs:

Q. How is the data encrypted?

When you sign up, the client generates a 256-bit key, which is stored at the server after being encrypted with your passphrase which ente does not have access to.

The client encrypts every file you upload using AESCrypt[1] with a randomly generated password. This password is stored at the server after being encrypted with your key.

So as long as you can verify your email address and remember your passphrase, you can download and decrypt your key and files on any device.

When you share files with other users, public-key cryptography is used to share these passwords. When you share files publicly, the client attaches this password to the URL as a fragment.

Q. How is data durability ensured?

Your data is replicated across two different object storage providers across two continents. I’m optimizing for durability rather than cost. Two is one and one is none.

Q. What is the pricing?

$5/100GB/month tentatively.

Q. What happens if your company dies?

The project won't die. I'll open source the server, provide a docker image that can be self hosted, and a script to migrate data to your S3 buckets.
