Actually, the first federal gasoline taxes in the US predate the interstate highway system and were part of a bill that raised taxes on a variety of goods in the name of general revenue. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revenue_Act_of_1932 and therefore not really related to maintenance. Furthermore, a great proportion of gasoline tax revenue in the modern era is not spent on highway maintenance but rather diverted to other earmarked purposes https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_taxes_in_the_United_Sta...

A lack of political will might prevent Congress from raising the tax that would most economically efficiently raise revenue for highway maintenance, but it is not the primary roadblock (what is it with me and the puns today?) that prevents Congress from spending less-economically-efficiently-raised funds on infrastructure maintenance.

Honest question: is it simply the fact you can't use a Gecko engine on iOS that makes it useless to you?

My impression is that the Firefox shell offered is still able to provide the various anti-tracking privacy features that many would point to Firefox for, and the variety of browser shells available should mean that you'd be able to find a UI to your liking if Safari's isn't.

At that point, the only thing I can see missing is a non-webkit engine. I get that that's an annoyance and definitely on the same anti-competitive level as 00s era IE, but by and large web developers account for it and it works acceptably. As much as I'd need it to for mobile browsing.

Would just be interested to know if there's something more I'm missing.

>Most people don't even use a VPN

Those that use a VPN for privacy are the "average consumer". Those, let's say more geeky, know that the VPN for privacy that are sold by lots of companies are a fallacy as using a VPN from home gives you zero extra privacy. It only moves the problem from your ISP to the VPN company, which likely isn't covered by the same laws. It is in almost all cases worse.

> How are bridges not collapsing left and right from all the incompetent civil engineers they've been hiring with no whiteboard interviews??

What? Other engineering fields have certifications and standards processes that actually mean something, and enforcement of it. That’s how they determine the baseline standard.

Software engineering’s closest thing is a 4-year degree who’s so routinely undervalued (per alignment to work requirements) it’s challenged by 3 month bootcamps, which are themselves challenged by garage-living dropouts with no explicit formal education.

And traditionally you had near-decade training with an apprentice/master system, or in a trade school, or expected-lifetime employment & training with the same company.

Software development is pretty new in trying to force feed training in large quantities with little to no verification, standards process or really any legitimate first or third-party trust-rings or evaluation process. I mean shit we’re still running on the assumption that the 20-year old dropout has decent potential to be an expert in his field ala wiz/gates/carmack.

As an industry, I think we’re fairly unique in our general incompetence.
First time I've seen it written like that. I did not know it should be "whet" rather than "wet".

> I really wish we could just enforce proper education of being observant.

The problem: on long stretches of road, especially with tunnels or trees acting as side wall, human biology gets in the way - we literally don't perceive stuff happening properly anymore (and as usual, German has a word for it: Tunnelblick, tunnel vision). The additional factors of people being (too) tired to drive or stressed out by children, traffic jams etc. also won't disappear no matter how much enforcement there is... the only thing that enforcement can suppress is phone usage and drug usage.

You can say that you disagree with Twitter's moderation choices if you want. That has nothing to do with this lawsuit. The lawsuit is saying that the Texas government is abusing its power to pressure Twitter to publish, distribute, and tacitly endorse things that Twitter has chosen not to. That's exactly what the First Amendment is intending to stop.

> the concept that if the government can't do it, we probably shouldn't be doing it to each other

The government's behavior is more restricted because it has a monopoly on many types of power (law creation and enforcement, for example). The purpose of the First Amendment is to stop the government from abusing its monopoly powers to oppress people. Otherwise, we couldn't trust the government with those powers in the first place.

Private corporations like Twitter don't have the power to broadly suppress speech in the first place. They can't, for example, censor the New York Times or Joe Rogan's podcast. They can only decide what they publish.

My gripe is when the wealthy get caught doing a crime, they might do their heavily lawyered light sentence, and come home to a warm home, and a glass of Chardonnay.

A poor, or middle class guy, does his retribution, and it might destroy any semblance of the life he had before.

I’ve felt for awhile now sentences, and more important——fees/fines do to wrong doing should be tied tightly to income, and assets.

It kills me when a corporation, or a wealthy white collar individual get the same fine as the Landscaper, who rents.

Hell—-I would like to tie all societal fees/fines to income level. A rich guy gets a $600 traffic ticket, it’s dinner banter. A poor man get’s the same ticket, it could be rent.

I would would even tie vehicle registration, patent fees, etc. to income.

I can only wish though.

Hi! I checked out scite and really like the product- however, I can't seem to find relevant papers in my field (ML&AI), ie., I searched for the batchnorm paper, which there has been a lot of 'reevaluation' of- but it's not available.

Yes, programming languages and programming are very limited when compared to natural languages and the range of typical verbal communication.

The fact that at least some older adults do internalise new languages and become undistinguishable from native speakers begs the question why everyone cannot. I'd say plausible explanations include adults being buzy or lazy with their lives, having a fixed mindset towards language learning, bad pedagogy etc. as alternatives to loss of the necessary plasticity. All these can apply to learning programming likewise.

It’s always been notable to me that the thing that killed Flash wasn’t the wars with the usability community 20-odd years ago, it was the iPhone. People dumped these garish interfaces because a beautiful device came along that refused to run them, not because they were in many or perhaps most cases terrible for the task at hand.

I think a lot of the methodological knowledge built by usability people has probably been ignored in favour of a metric-driven approach these days. That approach is very good at identifying bottlenecks in existing workflows or deciding between two ideas, but ultimately lacks the empathy you describe. You can only really build that by engaging directly with users, and watching them suffer at the hands of your creations.

From what I can read organizations are somewhat awkward in their efforts to help women. Otherwise from the article:

1 & 3: the internship mentor is honest even when saying "interns have to learn". This is not discrimination. The fact UI dev interns do not pass a test versus data science interns is not that shocking. In 3 he tries to solve his problems with the help of the intern. That's quite unfair. At the minimum he should have obtained the intern's agreement beforehand, whether a man or woman.

2: a company of assholes

4: I guess companies should not single out women once they are on payroll. That's not helping them.
The data integrity operates on the level of story line and major themes. Formulae are at the word and phrase level. If the written is subordinate to the orally extemporaneous, like jazz, maybe you memorize a few star solos, but memorization isn't how you play a solo as a jazz musician. It's like asking "Did Hansel and Gretel see Rapunzel along the way?", and the answer depends on whether a book or a culture creates the stories their use.

If you have no writing, all of your community's texts are fan fiction with limit on headcanon. People brought tape recorders to Bosnia in the 1930s, to try to see how oral folk music worked, and to see how much it changed day to day and year to year, and they found that they couldn't glue the same story together from day to day.
Perhaps it is possible to go backwards from solving to matrix multiplication. Your example Ax = b can be solved using a matrix multiplication with the inverse matrix: x = A^-1 b. So if one can solve a linear system faster than by matrix multiplication, one could try to use the same algorithm for matrix multiplication.

>NO! I have noticed that many white Americans cannot fathom how patronizing and "otherizing" are many of the attitudes they take.

Well, I'm not American - and like many other cultures that aren't exactly black but just aren't WASP, my people weren't even considered white by Americans.

But I see no problem with "otherizing" you seem to fear so much. Is it an American pre-occupation, that every ethnic person is necessarily just a good-old American, with no distinction or unique experience coming out of an all-american melting pot?

And if you acknolwedge that an Italian American or an Native American, or an Asian American, etc could have different experiences growing up in the US because of their ethnicity/heritage you're "otherizing" and that's bad?

What the duck is wrong with a culture so afraid of discussing these things (except in adversarial tones: X are evil, Y have privilege, mentioning Z is otherizing, asking K is patronizing, and so on)?

>If the applicant was white, should the manager have asked them; "Oh wow as a half Italian/half English person , how was to grow up in the suburbs of New Jersey, was it difficult? Was it hard? Gee I cannot begin to imagine how strong you are"

Depends of if whites had it bad statistically, or perhaps whites from some specific area. I'd sure ask whites from Alaska say how it was growing up there, or italians from the Bronx in the 30s, etc...

I don't see absolutely any problem with that. In fact it's something we talk about frequently in casual discussions.

Sure beats BS casual talk that means nothing. It also gives you the opportunity to give the other person an idea about x (e.g. my ethnicity).

Perhaps it's about different ways societies see casual talk?
You should expect that over the long term, your losses will equal the house edge. The more you play, the more your losses will approach that of the house edge. In the short term, you'll see lots of variance.

So, the answer to your question is that you should never start. There is never a good time to start. And there's no betting system which gets you over the house edge.

It's not the generalization pitfall, but a completely wrong metric. "Hours spent" is an expense, not a revenue. If you were measuring machines by KWh spent, you'd never have an insight to optimize that number down instead of up.

Lawyers are often billed by hour, but that's not what they are paid for. You will quickly lose customers if you optimize for that metric. Instead, if you figure out how to spend less hours for the same results, you may charge even more per hour, because you are saving your customers' time, plus handle more customers over a given time frame.

But as with lawyers, programmers, managers and all other non-machine-like workers produce "customer happiness" that's not easily measured, other than at the level of overall competitiveness of the firm.
