Decline of churches is one aspect. Society is becoming more secular, and there is nothing replacing those weekly religious services. There are no replacement "myths" that groups can cohere around.

Instead of blaming globalism, maybe one should make companies responsible for their external effects? As in, lawfully responsible, to be tried as if they did it themselves. Like pollution, using other companies to do their unethical biddings etc (child or slave labor for instance).
I don't know how fast you walk, but at 75% those people are definitely in slow-motion. I could see maybe 90%, but 100% looks completely natural to me as far as their movements are concerned. (Personally, I want to see a jump at 90% to judge, not someone walking.)

This is a wonderfully presented article of an important aspect of the impact of symbolism in culture. This reminds me of the modified okay symbol which makes a W shape co-opted by white supremacists. Because of its generally innocuous nature, even people who aren't white supremacists will defend politician's use of it as their opponents imagination. These sorts of symbols, and our understanding them, are a front in the ongoing epistemological war.
100%. Metrics/data driven marketing for the masses leads to a lot of unspartan marketing. I can think of few brutalist marketing/branding - Berkshire Hathaway (https://www.berkshirehathaway.com/) is one, although their product is abstract - financial services. Any others you can cite?

Edit: MIT branding is pretty cool too: https://web.mit.edu/ and always have been, although this is B2C.
I want to preface this with the fact that I do think that the Wichita swatting incident was a heinous crime and that those involved (both the hoaxers and the intended victim) were truly despicable people each in their own way.

That said, at the end of the day, the life was lost not because gamers were being violent due to a violent video game. None of the gamers involved so much as ever saw one another. Instead, an entirely innocent third party individual got erroneously targeted by a known type of hoax and, upon moving his hands wrong, was shot by a law enforcement official.

This was intended to be a case of gamer-on-gamer harassment over something that likely was spurred on by events in a violent video game (which is woefully common, though rarely to this degree). But the only violent act committed was by a police officer. And that's an important distinction.

(I assume we can elide the Jacksonville event as that happened during a Madden tournament; unless we want to make the case that football is more like Grand Theft Auto than it is baseball...)
This is the perpetual problem isn't it?

Even if it could evade/avoid a sudden problem (a child running into the street, etc., as you mention)... what if it cannot avoid disaster and has to choose between two disastrous outcomes. What then?

Disclosure: I'm definitely on the 'maybe not' side of autonomous vehicles (safety-wise), but I wouldn't discount them if the margin of error is reduced "enough". What is "enough"? I'm not sure, personally, but this isn't it.

Humans aren't great at any of this already, so maybe that's an irrational take...?!?
I understood the point directly.

The culture at large is going to do what it does. There is way to support liberty and deny the right to be a ninny.

But technology should be about the code. It is better to be diverse, because being a cool, gentle, adult human being is simply the Golden Rule applied; rather than flogging diversity.

We see endless codes of conduct, statistical analyses, and innocents getting thrashed for some purely Kafka-esque infraction.

I would say: "to hell with that" except that in many ways, hell has arrived.
Yea, it's very impressive engineering. However there is no intelligence in these machines. It's a clever combination of hard- and software. Takes human intelligence to build it.

Bottom line. Machines. Not Intelligent.

Yup, I remember when I was going to check out the 2017 eclipse in eastern Oregon I wasn't really paying attention to the paper map and we were in a truck anyways but google maps routed us on a much worse road than the other option which is shown on the USGS topo map and the Benchmark Atlas.

A protest is ordinarily not a story.

Over the last month we've seen the strongest proof of this that one could imagine. In India, 250 million farmers and associated union members went on strike. Somehow this event went completely unreported by USA journalists. In nations where the USA "defense" department could conceivably waste more money, the threshold is considerably lower than 250M... more like, say, ten? Twenty? Possibly a hundred protesters in Syria or Hong Kong would be worth a report.
Except that tragedy involved a paper map.

Mostly, I don't sweat it so long as I'm doing something straightforward although I find routing tries to overoptimize.

Isn't that exactly what I'm addressing? How using misleading or bad metrics can lead to a mistrust in what is being conveyed?

Think "Reefer madness" and all the bunk science out about Marijuana in the 80's and 90's. Did anyone trust the information coming out at that time? I would hazard most in their teens and twenties didn't, which is exactly who that information was intended to sway.

Trust is important. If people don't trust that what you're saying is accurate because it's easy to point out the shortcuts taken that muddy the results, I think eventually they are going to look at most results about that subject with a grain of salt. At that point they've been trained to do so.

The best ammo against a problem is clear and accurate information. Not fear-mongering and FUD, or even something adjacent that's just imprecise enough to be easily called into question. All that does is cause confusion and arguments over veracity.
It's hard to express how awesome the Mini is. IMO it's an underappreciated technological achievement at the once-in-a-hundred-years level. Only a few years ago, it was hard to get a decent digital camera for $400 and change. The Mini is a decent camera that also happens to fly.

When that realization hit me, it reminded me of the first time I saw a $29 DVD player for sale at WalMart. Some incredible things had to happen to make that possible, almost all of of them going completely unnoticed by almost everyone.

The BAE drone probably costs $50,000 apiece, and doesn't appear to be substantially different from the current-generation (or even the original) Mini.
I had a few similar situations while riding a motorcycle through Peru.

Google maps would reroute me around perfectly good highways because some goat trail somewhere was technically a shorter path although the reality was that they were 10x longer because of how difficult the terrain would be and if you were to brake down on any of those roads, you would immediately be in a survival situation, it was incredibly remote.

It finally happened to me although luckily I was able to find an isolated farm but it's not hard to imagine if things went a little bit differently it could have turned into a life or death situation
This really does seem like a shortsighted move given they’re seemingly pretty serious about Google Cloud, and their Maps Platform is apparently part of that: https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform

AFAIK AWS has never increased their prices for anything ever, Google Cloud once increased the price of a service by 1400%. That takes Google Cloud out of consideration for me for anything I don’t want to have to or can’t (because of vendor lock-in) move to another service with very little notice.
Intel will probably never have a run like they did last this last decade, but they can still carve a huge chunk of what will always be a huge market.

Also, one thing worth saying is that if ARM really takes a proper share of the market it will obviously make x86 less popular - this works in both ways because it also clears the way for Intel to try other things of their own (This is highly speculative obviously, but it's impossible).

The canary for Arm is if it's in the hands of developers (and not just M1).
I think it can be approximated. And that's better than nothing. Would you agree?
Try HardKernel ODROIDs, they blow RPis out of the water in terms of performance, price and support.
Nah, all auto-driving cars perform poorly in stop and go traffic. I can usually maintain average velocity around 2-5 mph so I don't have to stop and go, but auto-driving cars will accelerate and brake hard, which makes it hard for me to judge whether we're out of the present traffic and I'm holding up people behind by not accelerating, or whether I should continue the crawl.

Correct following distance in that traffic is ~3-4 metres (~10-12 feet) which is easy to maintain against a human or against an auto-car you know is auto-driving, but that takes a few seconds to calibrate that it's auto-driving.

I've made many rush hour commutes from my home in Glen Park to SOMA with very few brake-use events¹ and travel team equivalent to original Google Maps prediction.

> Men are more vicious and ferocious

I mostly agree with what you're saying but it's important to address this fallacy. "Men" are not more vicious or ferocious. On average, "men" are mediocre. Compared to the average woman, the inability to reproduce makes the average man far less valuable. It is only a select few individuals who carry exceptional abilities. Women don't have to compete with average men, they have to compete with the top men. It's the top men society looks up to. It's the top men that women want. Average men are invisible. A useless by product of natural selection.
Because then all the news and Twitter blue checkmarks explode after seeing google routes them around poor areas.
I still blame the company in the second scenario. Pay a multiple for a secure setup or don't store data, even if that means funding new development when no secure solutions exist. I would like people to take user data so seriously that they would go so far as to develop a new operating system to securely handle it. That should be the burden we put on companies that want to collect data on people.
Mostly fats and carbs (sugars). A teaspoon of olive oil is about 40 calories. And most people use a lot more than they realize, especially when it requires sauteing. That can add up quick.

Also, using fattier cuts of meat compared to leaner cuts (chicken thighs vs breasts). Of course that's part of the "fat" equation.

Besides flavor, mouthfeel is part of what makes a food taste good. Fats usually provide good mouthfeel for the average people.

What I do to minimize the amount of calories I need to use is use non stick spray (near 0 calories for a splash of oil), leaner cuts of meat, and sugar substitutes like stevia.

If you give people a meatloaf using turkey, sugar free ketchup, no breadcrumbs, and minimal use of oil OR a meatloaf using 80/20 ground beef with bread crumbs and real ketchup, they'll probably pick the "unhealthier" meatloaf if the seasonings are equal.

Sick reference bro.
Sure, if it ended up in a nice flat cornfield somewhere then no problem, but the urban landscape is designed to channel ran. Thus it’s more a question of dispersal not duration.

Let’s say 10 tanker cars so 350,000 gallons or 560,000kg are spread down a water channel at the side of a street at 15mph. At 4 minutes their already covering 1 mile which easily takes them out of most towns making longer durations largely meaningless. If the channel is V shaped with a depth of 2 feet and a width of 10 feet. That only adds up to ~4,5000 square meters, and by your calculations most of it should still be there.

It doesn’t last as long if it’s on fire, but there’s going to be an air gap of unmixed natural gas over a likely several feel thick channel of LNG. So even then it’s going to take a while to burn off meanwhile the wave of fire is destroying everything around it.
Very valid points. I think the key is that you’re going to need a complex model for full self driving. No way around that - even if Waymo starts with a rule based model, they’re going to have to work with black boxes and debug them at some point (and they do).

Tesla just decided to jump into the deep end from the beginning.
that is actually very good point. In the case of the pension fund I guess you do just pick the relatively cheapest option regardless of what you feel is the broader situation.

On the other hand that is insanity and has the potential of turning into a humanitarian crisis IMO but I guess we'll see how that plays out.
As someone passively enthusiast about cars, I think that's in general a good thing. People buying classic/old cars generally know it's not going to have current safety regulations, but may still appreciate it and take the risks.

I'm font on retro/rust-mods where they're updated with modern engines, controls, etc... others prefer completely stock/original as possible. In the end, it's not so different from being able to maintain a listed building in England or other heritage or historical works, other than it rolls down the roads.
The classic example of a good military-only battery would be those using molten salts as an electrolyte (typically at 150-500 ºC) [1]. Very high energy density (around 74 Ahr/kg [2] compared to LiPo's ~50 Ahr/kg [3]) and very high power density. Not finger friendly.

Google Maps gives me the new, longer route from Yakutsk to Magadan (34 hr, 1161 mi) but I can recover the old route by adding a stop in Tomtor (40 hr, 1077 mi).
I think you could just have one rule instead, which is also taught to beginning journalists if I'm not mistaken:

Everybody is biased. Always.

There are no exceptions to this rule.
Stratechery then? I would be okay with that.
Thanks for pointing that out. I think closing the door on ICF and doubling down on vertical integration is a mistake on Intel's part (but likely forced because of their production issues), but the extent to which Intel should open up is a question likely only Intel employees knee deep in the R&D can answer since it comes down to how integrated manufacturing is with the rest of the company. There's a continuum from ICF to Samsung-style conglomerate to GloFo, with different kinds of customers at each point. Any point on that spectrum is a less risky place to be than Intel relying on Intel alone.

All told, I'd rather be Intel today than, say, SMIC today, and I'd much rather be the Intel of today than the AMD of 8-12 years ago. Intel is down, but in no way out, and I find most of the commentary hyperbolic. A full GloFo-style spin out might be inevitable, but I think Intel is sufficiently positioned to take it more slowly than AMD did.
Agree with almost everything you are doing/saying, except 4 devs @ 38 hrs/week =\= 5 devs @ 30 hrs per week.

Development is one of those weird things where often adding more resources does not translate into less project time (in fact some time it increases it).

System/solution entanglement and complexity are the root cause. I’d suggest reading The Mythical Man Month if you’re interested in the topic.

First case of highly infectious COVID-19 variant detected in Colorado
To be fair we have well defined equations to decide if a sample size is large enough and to calculate the error in our errors.

In the case your examples, we already know that the CFR is lower than 10%, so a sample of 10 definitely is nowhere near enough to tell us anything useful. Now if the CFR was 50% and you had 0/10, maybe it'd be worth looking into it.

I'm curious though, have any of your friends had longer term effects? longer term smell/taste loss, brain fog, heart issues, memory issues, breathing issues, etc? The early reports on long term impact are at ~10-20%, so you may have 1 or 2 in your sample, but again your sample is small enough that you very easily could've had 0 too. Again, it depends heavily on what you're trying to disprove and what the rate of it is.
The vast majority of employment opportunities do not involve physical labour requiring strength on a level unobtainable by women. Even moreso intellectually and socially, the sweeping majority of employment opportunities are equally accessible on physiological grounds to any sex. Time and again, we find that the main impediments to women's success in the workplace are the social constructs built to keep men and women in their designated roles. You're leaning very heavily on a fallacious understanding of human biology to make unsupportable declarations regarding the nature of human social interaction.

It's troubling that you appear to believe women are inherently incompetent when working alongside men, and thus in need of protection from them. It's a given that I find that paternalistic view acutely misogynistic, but I'd also like to emphasize the disservice you do to men by painting them as brutish predators. I wholly reject any concept of manhood rooted in emphasizing social and physical superiority over women, such as this.
The "number of countries" is a misleading metric for landmine treaty - as it includes all the many countries who expect no wars at all and so they're not actually giving up anything. The 33 include almost all countries who actually expect to fight any wars and/or have serious militaries. Okay, UK, France and Turkey have banned landmines, but USA, Russia, China, India, Pakistan, Israel and Iran haven't banned them, and those 7 matter far more than the 164 signatories of the Ottawa convention for actual banning of landmines in practical use.

And of course, the roadside IEDs that USA saw in Iraq and Afghanistan would still be legal under the Ottawa convention (it does not ban anti-vehicle mines and remotely detonated devices) so you can't really assert that USA is complaining about something they won't ratify themselves.

If we look at the history of landmines, then it's fairly certain that countries are not going to give up a capability that they expect to use, all the universally accepted treaties only ban things that we consider impractical, which do not give a serious advantage (e.g. chemical weapons, which aren't competitive with conventional weapons if you're fighting against a proper military and not just gassing civilians and/or guerillas).

So combat robots will be banned only if (and while) they turn out to be useless and impractical compared to alternatives, or perhaps selectively banned by the countries who weren't going to use them anyway because they can't afford them. If they are actually good for their role, then they will be legal for all the major militaries.
I am not sure I understand this argument. The article states the "laborers" in question are given a choice as follows: submit to unpaid forced labor else go to a CCP reeducation camp. Nowhere is it stated those subjected to this choice have the opportunity to take advantage of rising living standards.

Well, this will change if/when ransomware attacks are becoming a big enough issue to noticeably impact the economy, health care, or something else that politicians and voters care about.

I'm not an IT security expert, but I do think we are now observing an increased industrialization of ransomware. Some crews specialize in initial attack vectors, and sell them to others who specialize in the lateral movement, and then those resell fully compromised systems to specialists that do the actual ransomware and payment.

If this trend continues, countries will be forced to take this far more seriously than they do it now.
Plus there should be other things factored in .. like the contribution to the society.. is worse a man with a net wealth of 1m which is an illegal drug leader than a 100m entrepreneur in a solar energy sector.. stats saying just a number like that may depict a worsening scenario while instead maybe is getting better.. incomplete view must always be taken with skepticism imo
Actually, that's not how it works. Consumer inflation is the go to mechanism for keeping unemployment low. It will keep working even with automation. The government merely has to enact effective policies that keep consumer inflation on track.

There is no meaningful distinction between robots and foreign labor when it comes to low employment rates. Both are "not Americans" if your definition of Americans only includes humans that are citizens of the US. Any inequality that would be caused by robots already exists in the form of inequality caused by globalization.

You can solve inequality quite easily with the right policies. Change tax policy for the wealthy or create demand for labor through economic stimulus.

The Berenstein Bears: We Are Living in Our Own Parallel Universe
The first part of your rant makes it clear you are confused of the topic at hand.

The second part does follow some sense - but then, how many engineers did it take to build the US road system? Why aren’t you screaming at car companies, logistics companies, taxi drivers or all other appropriate parties for taking advantage of infra built with public money?

Frankly, its fairly obvious you have a massive distaste for Musk, which is fine - I or nobody else should dictate your opinion on him. What I’m extremely tired of is this new ”social democratism movement” which is some very thinly veiled weird combination of utopian socialism and at times vitriolic hatred against the entrepreneurial populace.

Yes, there are bad actors in the current system. But what is it exactly you are advocating as the alternate system?
