Yup.

One type of roaming that does trigger for smartphones and similar devices is WiFi->4G/5G->WiFi.

You're at home, obviously you don't want expensive mobile network data charges when you've got WiFi. So the connection is over WiFi. But as you walk out the door, currently your application software needs to spot that the WiFi is going away (not too hard), connect over the mobile network (unless your policies say to give up instead to save money) and keep going. QUIC would allow this to be done transparently at the transport layer, at least in some cases. When you reach a coffee shop/ friend's place/ work and there's WiFi again, the opposite transition saves you money and if you go indoors and signal is weaker may also be necessary to deliver a working network.
This 1000%.

I don't even have a Tesla, I have a 2013 Prius which has an array of buttons for everything instead. The only knobs are the miniscule (and hard to turn) volume and tune buttons on the radio. They made a token effort but placing indentations on the heater temp and fan speed buttons but after five years I still can't operate anything on the center console without taking my eyes off the road.

I love almost everything about my Prius but the person who designed the interior to look like a Starfleet shuttlecraft should be shot.

> Why do we need USB 3 and C again?

Typical copper ethernet is 1Gb/s, while USB 3 is 5 Gb/s, going on 10/20/40 Gb/s with USB 3.2, USB 4 .. thunderbolt.

As others have said, 10G ethernet is too power hungry, and even 1G ethernet is inherently more expensive. I resent active cables and do prefer ethernet, but it's not a realistic proposition for most use cases.

Proof doesn't really matter. Most theories you have in your life are unproven. Scientific hypotheses should be falsifiable which means unproven.

I think that's partially because most adults react pretty strongly to someone telling them that they're wrong about something, especially something considered as trivial as grammar. Kids are just more open to being corrected in general (whether through natural disposition or conditioning, I'm not sure).

Surely this would have been the case for movie studios, given that every actor they do business with is a member of SAG-AFTRA. Movie stars can command multi-million dollar contracts with studios with the help of SAG-AFTRA, and the same union protects everyone down to the background actors. Yet studios remain in the US despite your fear that they'd leave.

>Why would you underpay H1B workers?

Employers pay as little as they can. If it's possible to hire someone for minimum wage, you hire for minimum wage.

If it's possible to import and indenture a guy for whom a crowded shared house with an actual bathroom looks like a palace, you'll do that. If you don't, your competitor will.

>why would you put the burden of that on immigrant workers

You don't put it on immigrant workers, you put it on industries whose demand exceeds supply.

Also remember that immigrant workers don't come out of nowhere. You imported 100 nurses, India and Pakistan have 100 nurses less. Vacuuming up the brightest people from everywhere doesn't help global development.

This is very much an english speaking country phenomenon. We are used to having lots of people speak english, often incorrectly and are much more tolerant of people making mistakes (and therefore don't correct them).

You should spend some time in Germany.

I once had my German corrected by a casheir at a fast food restaurant.

So from my experience, I don't think this is the reason that people stop being able to learn languages.
To be fair, a decent number of people also overcorrect and use "Tim and I" for the objective case as well (e.g. "The teacher told Tim and I that our grammar was incorrect"). I think simply giving the correct construction for the case that the speaker actually used isn't sufficient for using proper grammar; one needs to be able to identify which case is which to be able to use "correct" grammar.
Can you be more specific? I'm sure you realize that there is full modern UI support in any reasonably up to date Smalltalk implementation, it even includes mouse and keyboard input support. If you mean accessing data from the filesystem, yes that can be done as well. And guess what, there is even network support.

That said, if it comes down to more OS specific stuff, then yes, you may need to do more work. Squeak/Pharo very directly support loading external modules (platform specific code written specifically to a VM-specific API) as well as a reasonably competent FFI implementation. I have less knowledge of other implementations but I'm sure something similar is also available.
>> Are unions in the US really like that, or is it a one-off being used to spread fud?

> Yes, they are. I've been working a booth at a convention showing off some tech and asked a passing worker for an extension cord. The response was that they asked on the radio, but the only person available to perform this role was on lunch so it'd be at least 45 minutes until I could get an extension cord.

While the anecdote is true, it's also FUD, because there's no good reason to expect a tech worker's union would work like that. It would exist to solve tech worker's problems, which are different than those of a convention center worker. If tech workers would chafe at rigid role definitions, a tech worker's union that they control would not impose them.
I mean, these are people who are proud of hacking copyright law to serve copyleft, right? Why not hack union law to serve intersection?
Note that the zero-energy universe is highly speculative; in particular there is no good way to define the total energy confined to a volume at large scales and it's hard to say that "energy is conserved" in any way that's nontrivial. (A ready example is the apparent loss of energy in the redshifting of light due to Hubble expansion.)
Congrats, David, I remember we started on the same day! Well, me as an intern. It's fun seeing that picture again!
This may be true, but these vacant roles are generally limited to candidates who have already performed at that level elsewhere.

It's very difficult to gain a promotion while also moving to an equivalent-or-better company. The easiest move is to go up in role while trading down in company, or up in company but down in role. True career advancement happens through internal promotion, or happens if you "trade up" to an equivalent role at a better company.
> If he opens a door randomly, and gets a goat, you don't modify your likelihood at all by switching. Saying 1 door or 2 doors doesn't mean you actually grasp the entirety of the problem.

What do you mean "opens a door randomly"? Is he picking from all three doors? Yours, and the two others?

In that cases you get interesting but trivially-obvious-what-move-to-make scenarios like "he chose your door and showed you you were right" "he chose your door and showed you you were wrong" "he chose a different door which had the car"...

Do you just mean the subset of "he chose randomly and happened to draw a goat out of one of the two you did not choose"? In which case switching isn't beneficial because you no longer are also capturing the cases that would otherwise be the "he chose randomly and opened the one with the car that you did not choose" that are included in the original "switch or not" decision because he always goes to a goat?
From what I understand reading the course outline, this is an introductory class. Foundational material in a subject is often "completely disconnected" from the reality of the discipline. If I was an engineer taking a first course in integral calculus, should I worry that my teacher may not be a seasoned practitioner, or should I worry that they are good at getting me to understand the fundamentals? I can definitely see your argument if this was a professional practice class, or something vocational, but it's a 100 level CS class.
In the video (https://youtu.be/18x38IMAwrY?t=2201) they have a blurb from the chairman of Japan Airlines, Yoshiharu Ueki.

So it looks like they have at least _some_ commercial partnerships / relationships.
I'm very much in the same boat. It's one of the things that has always confused me a little about Subaru, since they seem like they've been really well-placed to take advantage of the transition to electric vehicles. A lot of their customer base cares about things like the environment, usually has some degree of disposable income (they're not the cheapest car on the market) and places a high value on areas like reliability and simple functionality. Electric cars already are supposed to require less maintenance than your average ICE vehicle, and the four-cylinder boxer engine/CVT combo isn't exactly known as a hotrod combo either, so it's not as if the need to satisfy their customer base on 0-60mph time anway (for that type of car, ignore the WRX for a moment).

If they made a Crosstrek/Forester-type vehicle with 300-400 miles of all-electric range, kept the ground clearance, roof rack, and usual interiors, I've always imagined that those vehicles would sell like hotcakes. I know I'd be interested in immediately trading up, in a way that I probably won't be otherwise for a long time.

It's really not a crazy idea at all, though. It's certainly less crazy than how much of established scientific canon would've appeared to the world when it was originally proposed. I would argue most of quantum field theory is much "crazier" than Penrose's CCC idea.

That said, as far as I know it falls into the body of theories that struggle to make falsifiable predictions, and of the limited such predictions it has made nobody has found data that validates them in a statistically significant way yet.
He mentions $100 for anywhere in the world. How realistic is that?

A couple of theories regarding the ultimate fate of our universe are the Big Crunch (everything comes together) or the Big Freeze (everything drifts apart, forever). I agree that it's not hard to imagine that if a Big Crunch happened it could potentially create another Big Bang. That said, there's still no way to necessarily prove that.

Why unions exist in the private sector continues to baffle me.
Teaching a class about safety in systems code seems like a great idea, and at first glance the class content here seems useful and interesting. I do a lot of OS-level stuff at work (especially around virtualization and Firecracker), and while safety (and security) are obviously a critical topic for industrial systems, they don't tend to be things that new grads have thought about at all. Great to see that changing (even, as with all curriculum additions, it means covering some other stuff less).

> CS 110 [multiprocessing, multithreading, and networking in C++] is not just about how we do things, but also why – why are things designed the way they are, and if we get certain bugs or performance characteristics, why is that?

That's an interesting take, because I don't see Rust as being more abstracted in this way than C++ is. Obviously it's more abstracted than C, but by the time you get to "modern" C++ you're programming in a much higher-level language than C.

> I also think it’s hard for students to appreciate Rust without having first experienced C and C++.

This part does make sense. Explaining the "why can't we just write C really carefully?" piece to people who haven't experienced trying to do that is going to be harder. As we all know, it is possible to write safe C, but it takes a level of discipline and tooling support that is beyond most undergrads.

> that looks at what is often going wrong in systems and how we can improve practices to build better systems.

I'd love to see more research here too. There's some systematic studies of the causes of bugs in systems code, and obviously a lot of well-known bug patterns (see all of C's string handling). On the other hand, there seems to be fairly little research on the causes of more pernicious and subtle problems that become vulnerabilities (and data corruption, crashes, etc) in systems code.
I'm not sure! I have thought about it a lot though.

On one hand yes, it feels like it should be the same. On the other hand, it is not parsimonious to create another space when there is plenty of room left in this one.

Should we define another universe as something which never has and never will interact with our universe? If so, anything we can observe of seemingly another universe is in actuality part of our universe.

The answers to all of your questions here are highly dependent on the context of the question. Is the view expressed by the party of a protected class tied to their class and does it infringe on another persons rights? The answer will depend on the answers to those two questions.

> Do you think people should be banned from stores for what they wear in their homes?

> So you agree that it's okay for companies to terminate lgbt employees?

Yes and no. LGBT employees are protected under sex discrimination. I believe you are trying to frame the idea that freedom of association can defeat class based protections by targeting related attributes such as rainbow pride clothing worn by a person at home. Such attempts to circumvent class protections have been repeatedly struck down as unconstitutional because (1) they are not applied to all individuals (2) they are made in bad faith and (3) they have no use other than to target the protected class. I implore you to do research into the current stance of US Supreme Court rulings that define, limit, and explain class protections. My personal stance is very similar to that of the current SCOTUS stance and all of your questions are answered by their cases.

> Seems like people have no principles, just political agenda.

Unfortunately, the execution of one's principles are mistaken for the implementation of a political agenda.
'Just don't join' doesn't work. Unions often bully or ostracise people who refuse to join. Sometimes they're in practice closed-shops, like the Screen Actors' Guild, even though this isn't supposed to be allowed in law. In some cases unions use violence against 'scabs' and other people who resist.

Personally, it's because Linux is a wonderful development environment that meets my needs better than windows. Plus emacs (and most linux-first editors, for that matter) is lightyears faster on wsl than on the native windows builds.

The only issue is with WSL I'm limited to console apps, so if I want to build an OpenGL or Vulkan or GUI project, I have to use Visual Studio or VSCode if I want a good development experience, and even then, it's not quite as comfy.

I can only hope that with better GUI support comes some kind of GPU passthrough, but a woman can only hope.

I'm also biased here, but it seems like Firecracker (https://github.com/firecracker-microvm/firecracker) and rust-vmm (https://github.com/rust-vmm) would be great things to use as examples in a course like this. Not because it has space to explain the whole virtualization stack (it doesn't), but because things like virtualized devices are both fairly simple (at least at the simple end) and really safety critical.
and car and production technology has shifted massively in those 100 years.

Producing cars in itself is not a new process from a manufacturing perspective, especially not the non EV parts. (like body work and structural work).

What kind of quality control does tesla have, when it is not able to reliably produce cars with the same finish and fit. Most manufacturers have been able to do this for atleast 30 years. it is not like the industry doesn't have solutions to tackle these issues at scale.
