Parent poster forgot a critical condition for it to be a paradox. As they stated it's not, a second barber could shave both themself and the first barber.

The paradoxical statement would be "A barber shaves all those, and only those, who do not shave themselves. Who shaves the barber?" Without the second condition (only those who don't shave themselves) it's non-paradoxical.

Same! :-) I'm even more skeptical of their use of the word "sustainable," although I commend them on making that a goal.
The challenge for all of the platforms to exit "political advertising" is the same as exiting "selling likes/follows", if they don't do it directly then 3rd party operators will enter midstream and broker it connecting people with political (or other content) to a network of bot/fake/paid posting accounts who then go promote and spread the content.

By keeping advertising on the platform it actually allows better control and enforcement than pushing it to dark web markets.

The tech players don't want to be regulated like broadcast networks are so they've created this mess by lobbying against regulation. Some level of "FCC" (I use quotes as maybe it should be a different agency online) regulation as we have with broadcast ads could make this all much better.

This isn't an argument that has been made in court in anyway, and Google's use of the Java language hasn't been questioned.

Google could have used the Java language with completely different APIs (google.lang instead of java.lang for example). It's the APIs that this case is about.

Also, the key analogy is wrong anyway: while Android used java.lang and java.util and other related APIs, the key functionality of the phone was accessible via custom APIs that aren't copied. Note that the "interoperability" argument was lost by Google because of this exact thing.

Heavy is the wrong way to describe it. What the Model 3 has is a very low center of gravity and low moment of inertia due to the low and centered battery pack.
More proof to support "BrainPort"[1] tongue-computer interfaces. It is clearly a cheap and effective way to stimulate neuroplasticity.

Imagine a AR/VR headset wit a wire to your mouth that allowed you to sense infrared/UV spectrum without hindering your vision. Or spatial radar sensing when you are driving your car or flying a drone. Or any number of inputs in a game. Maybe providing an extra sense of balance could even help espace the VR nausea problem.

The applications of this simple low-cost tech are astounding, and helping with tinnitus is icing on the cake.

I like your reasoning. Feynman pointed out why this doesn’t work: you have to “borrow odd”, so to speak, in order to get any effect. Which means that your slight perturbation, although miraculous, ends up having little more than an infinitesimal effect over an even smaller amount of time.

Feynman put it way better than me though. It was in the Messenger Lectures series if you’re curious. 6 wonderful and accessible videos; his audience was primarily laypeople, not scientists. Quite enjoyable.

Step 1: Take three cards face down, one of which is an ace.

Step 2: Divide it into a pair of cards, and a single card.

Step 3: Reveal one of the pairs of cards. If you reveal and ace, return to step 1 since this history is eliminated from the story we've been told: we know this wasn't a possible path to our endgame. Otherwise continue to step 4.

Step 4: Which of the remaining two cards is more likely to be an ace?

Step 5: Realize that they're just as likely as each other to be the ace. Step 2 didn't magically imbue the card remaining in the pair with extra probability juice.

Long story short, you definitely need Monty to make an intelligent selection, so Monty's knowledge is far from irrelevant. It matters whether he revealed a goat by luck or by knowledge, because he's 2x as likely to get "lucky" in the case where there are 2 goats behind the doors you didn't choose in your original guess.

kn0thing and spez are controversial in their own rights and I am first on board to criticise them but I don’t want to jump the gun. It had better be an excellent reason though.
Not quite. Low center of gravity is key.

"In addition to its near 50/50 weight distribution, Model 3 was also designed with an extremely low polar moment of inertia, which means that its heaviest components are located closer to the car’s center of gravity.

Even though Model 3 has no engine, its performance is similar to what’s described as a “mid-engine car” due to its centered battery pack (the heaviest component of the car) and the fact that Model 3’s rear motor is placed slightly in front of the rear axle rather than behind it.

Not only does this architecture add to the overall agility and handling of the car, it also improves the capability of stability control by minimizing rotational kinetic energy."

I do the following:

1. have the domain in question resolve to a server with a public IP

2. have that server generate the certs with any ACME client with HTTP challenge

3. have that server ship the certs to the actual server hosting the service via intranet

4. in the intranet, have the domain resolve to the actual server via /etc/hosts override

All of that is not that hard to set up even at scale with proper config management tools. Having said that, I don't actually use it for that many services myself. The most significant one is LDAPS.

I noticed how you switched up the stats here:

Why are public teachers collectively not doing great job despite second in the world spending per student.

US government spending on education is high. However, US average teacher salary is ranked 7th in the world (Canada pays better, apparently). You're trying to attribute this spending inefficiency to teacher unions, where the problem is poor government spending (educational-industrial complex). Selling to governments is a big business; more software, more technology, more programming. Education in America has become commercial industry. That spending should probably be on teacher training programs instead.

> But pushing gigabit ethernet over that doesn't work reliably anymore or even at all. It's very much a universal problem with higher speeds. And the notion that "you can make any speed reliable and fool proof" is just absurd denying physics.

I'm not denying physics. Funny that you use Gigabit Ethernet as an example... I'm still debugging a hobby Gigabit Ethernet project. For some complicated reasons, It has to use a standard BASE1000-T PHY, but instead of communicating over a CAT-6 cable, it has to communicate over the circuit board backplane. Previous prototypes couldn't even reliably auto-negotiate. Apparently, in Ethernet, not only a long cable and heavy attenuation can be the problem, an extremely short link with low attenuation can also confuse the "Feed-Forward Equalization" DSP algorithm in the PHY and create problems. I totally understand the inherent challenges of high-speed designs and have some hand-on experience.

But I have to say, yes, you can make any speed reliable, given a controlled environment and a reasonable technical constraints. It's called engineering. Howard Johnson (the author of the famed engineering handbook High-Speed Digital Design - A Handbook of Black Magic), in a 1997 article on Gigabit Ethernet, which he heavily involved in its standardization, he discussed its enormous challenges [0]...

> Key ingredients in any Gigabit Ethernet design will include:

> Careful control of clock skew on the 125-MHz 10-bit bus.

> Attention to crosstalk between massive, 125 MHz TTL-level parallel buses and critical high-speed serial circuits.

> EMI considerations on the serial cables (if you are not an expert in this area, I suggest choose fiber)

> Huge pin counts, especially on complex switching or routing ASICS, some of which will be using 512-bit bus interconnections

> More than usual emphasis on time-to-market; everybody will want their products ASAP

> If you thought Fast Ethernet 100BASE-T layouts were tricky, think again. Gigabit Ethernet is going to be faster, with more parallel signals, and tighter layout constraints.

However, he also said,

> It will work, and it will work reliably, but you will have to follow the rules.

You can make any speed reliable within a reasonable engineering constrict, and in a controlled setup. Using off-the-shelf PHYs and controllers, doing hardware compliance testing, and installing good cables are all supposed to create this controlled setup. Failures to do so is what we call "hardware compliance problems". I agree that it's definitely not foolproof. Saying it is would be denying physics, but I didn't say that. EMI/EFI is a serious problem for USB 3.o. I'm only saying that a lot of USB 3.0 problems in practice is bad hardware compliance, true electrical problems can be fewer.

You don't have to pay for ISO to implement an ISO standard. In addition, Oracle released their database software in 1979 but SQL only became an ANSI standard in 1986 (and an ISO standard in 1987) so they did originally reimplement an API which wasn't a public standard.
> Do you know why chain stores are successful? It's because their market power allows them to acquire products cheaper from suppliers, which lets them sell those products for cheaper than smaller stores. Lower costs = lower prices = customers benefit. It's silly to say that we need the small store to survive if it sells product X for more than the chain store without offering any other benefit than merely providing the product.

Which is exactly why we have laws on the books from the era when my theory of market power never existed.

Low price = customer benefit isn’t written in stone, except on Robert Bork’s grave.

Customers benefit from a fair distribution of economic activity also, it’s just harder to quantify. Unfortunately some unscrupulous economists have used that fact to push pro-concentration policies.

>With infinite time will order spontaneously emerge from heat death?

The answer may be yes or no in any particular axiomatization (model) of the physical laws, but depends strongly on the choice of model. Unlike a normal situation, when we talk about very-low-probability effects we are subject to any influence of "quantum gravity" and other "new/unknown physics" that may have a finger, however light, on the scale.

In the Standard Model I think the answer is yes, but we are already aware of some deficiencies (neutrino transitions).

The point is really that lenses are values that represent locations in a data structure. And, as values, they can be combined, transformed, serialized, etc etc. Imagine having a type that represents a chain of method selectors, and that gives you some idea of the purpose.

The fact that method selectors only appear very rarely as first-class values in most languages means that most people aren’t tuned in to scenarios where they could be applied. But I bet you’ve invented special cases of this yourself, when you had a function that needed to dig data out of one of several locations, depending on other inputs.
