That may be true, and many children on different developmental paths end up at the same location. It is also true that most children love to learn. Teaching these items to children can instill lifelong habits of learning and innate curiousity about the world.
I recall a lot of coloring, playing outside on a dedicated playground for kindergarteners, and frozen green grapes at snacktime during the summer. Also scheduled naps which I never took. We had tables for coloring and crafts, but not desks, and sat around on the ground whenever the teacher would tell us a story.

There was also this hippy-ish woman who literally drove up in a VW microbus -- crazy that I remember that -- and who taught us a bit about music. Singing and clapping along to syllables are the bits that come to mind.

One other thing is that there were no fences around the school.

It was a good way to grow up, and I'm going to do my best to ensure my kids get at least some of this.

What an incredibly puerile, reductive, and dishonest way to describe a man who ruined countless lives in countless vicious ways. This is such an obviously bad-faith comment.

Have more respect for the people you're conversing with, for this site, and for yourself.
It's important to note that the content he writes on his site really is next level stuff. I would guess that's really the magical ingredient to building a following with this kind of content in 2021. None of his posts feel like phoning it in, content for the sake of content.

I think that CSS/HTML are criminally underrated/underdeveloped skills, even amongst so called "front end developers" so he definitely picked a good subject for his course. I have no doubt I would learn a lot if I bought it too, even though I feel like I have a really high proficiency with CSS.
I'm sorry, but he didn't.

I thought it was a great idea, but issuing a bunch of scattershot EOs that never actually get implemented is not addressing anything.

The problem is that in reality he was all sending nasty tweets and no actual substance.

The thought exercise I most would like the answer to is: how much of this (that is batteries and solar/wind) could have been advanced in the 50s and 60s if the petrol companies weren't, uh, redirecting investment. Was the transistor or imaging or key materials engineering needed to enable modern batteries and solar five decades earlier, or was there just a lack of real funding?

To second that from the other side of the fence, I do not know what restaurant would do business with Yelp in such an integral way. It would be "great"/s, I change my advertising spending and magically they start loosing my online orders and reservations, oops.

Then the phone calls would start "Hi I am from Yelp just wanted to help get your advertising account started back up it seems to have accidentally been stopped. And it seems here that your online ordering somehow got disconnected from your POS. OOPSY"

This company calls me every time I get a review on Yelp to help me "setup my account." I don't do business with the mob.
It's definitely not all the new controllers, although with the UDM line you might be right. I think there's a huge intersection between people who would buy those specific devices and people who are perfectly happy to have remote access to their control plane in the cloud.
This is a feature.

The option to specify the target output size / dimensions at generation time is a reasonable option --- ISO A4 / US Letter, perhaps a target for smaller devices (though a 6"--7"+ tablet should be able to present most reasonably-formatted PDF documents reasonably legibly).

For anything smaller, PDF isn't really well-suited, and your better option is to go with a fluid-layout format such as ePub, .mobi, or, yes, HTML.

Having largely switched to bookreaders (eInk tablets), in large format with ~300 DPI grayscale screens, I strongly prefer fixed-layout formats such as PDF and DJVU to fluid-layout formats, for the spatial/cognitive reasons many others have mentioned in this thread.
But only due to HIBP integration in browser's password manager many come to know about their account leak even when the company which was breached didn't disclose it (as is the case in most countries).

There's still a need gap to detect leaked file data online, Say after a ransomware attack our files end-up in pastebin[1]; currently there seems to be no way to know unless manually monitoring sites where leaked data is posted or for the attacker to themselves let you know.

That would be the case if they hadn't thrown out the beginner's installation guide. What they have now is completely generic and largely useless for anybody who needs some amount of guidance or explanation. The current guide is basically throwing somebody into the deep-end and saying "here's this wiki page on how to swim, have fun". I pretty much gave up on Arch entirely after that fiasco.
Nothing happen. 'Full Self Driving' is already real. What tesla have right now is the 'Full Self Driving'.

The issue is some people define 'Full Self Driving' to be something else.
It looks to me like it’s just about how you can use Cloudflare as a reverse proxy, to hide the fact that your origin is Tor. And the bit about being able to change X-FORWARDED-FOR seems to just be about defeating IP-based rate limiting on sites that trust Cloudflare sufficiently to respect the X-FORWARDED-FOR header.

Speaking as someone outside the autonomous vehicle industry, can you provide sources or reputable commentary on how Waymo is furthest ahead? And maybe a rough ranking of the rest of the major players?
Great idea, lets also cut care for people who sit too much. Office workers, especially programmers, have a lot of expensive diseases associated with their sedentary lifestyles, and we should just cut the whole lot.

It was their choice to take the risks associated with a sedentary profession, and they do not deserve care.

Texas firefighters rescue squirrel stuck in tree's knothole
I went to two top-ten public research universities and can confirm they were glorified boot camps, unless you get really lucky in your course selection.

Some of the worst offenders were:

* A graduate-level parallel computing class taught in sync with a 1000-person online class aimed at OMCS students. For the level of depth we went into, I may as well have just taken a Coursera course.

* A PhD seminar on compilers, led by a tenured professor who was reusing slides from 2002 and seemed not to know anything about modern compiler theory or practice. "Huh? What do you mean a 'lattice'?" he said. Thankfully his TA cared enough to develop some projects around LLVM, which is the only useful bit of knowledge I took away from the course.

* A natural language processing course with a severely outdated bibliography, where the projects required us to make changes to convoluted "starter code" riddled with bugs.
Half of the final exam was manually computing the probability table (by hand, on paper, without a calculator) for a quite complicated probabilistic context-free grammar.

* A machine learning course where the lecture slides were written by the TA, and where the professor was often seeing the slides for the very first time five minutes before lecture.

And that's just the courses I was able to take.

* For my entire four years as an undergraduate at a large public university, there were no classes offered on the topics of programming language theory or computer graphics. They simply couldn't attract research faculty in these areas, and instead of hiring a lecturer, they thought it better not to offer the subjects at all.

* When I became a graduate student at another large public university, I was excited at the chance to finally take some PL + graphics courses. But nope, during my first year, all of the PL + graphics faculty left to join other universities / industry.
I'm no expert, but it's what I heard. But back of the the envelope, a bus costs O($500k) and lasts O(20 years), but you have to pay for multiple FTE operators per bus. Obviously maintenance and fuel also cost money but not as much as a (typically unionized) operator.

If an autonomous bus costs twice as much I think it still wins out. Maybe you still need a conductor to make sure people pay and don't act antisocially but such a person can probably be much cheaper/less skilled.
Not everybody has or can afford insurance.
I learned simple reading, basic math, how to read a clock, and various life and social skills in kindergarten. There's certainly a lot of active teaching going on at the kindergarten level, although I can't speak for all schools.

Without kindergarten, I would've been way behind when I entered first grade. There was a presumption of foundational knowledge on day one there.
I’ve been doing this for about 12 years, and they’ve always been tested. They only test the bottles that exceed the regular liquid restrictions though.
> So we subsidize the cost of high end luxury items?

Most of America has no public transit, and cars are mandatory to transit any appreciable distance (Texas, Florida, most of California, for example). That is unlikely to change, and therefore it is reasonable to discuss efforts and resources into improving environment attributes for self driving vehicles of all manufacturers. Roads are already governed by safety and regulatory standards, there is no reason those standards setting bodies should not take input from developers of self driving vehicles.

> If the technology is ready, a faded stop sign shouldn't make any difference.

Sure, that stop sign (or rather, the roadway segment attributes necessary for the vehicle to infer that a stop is required) should be in OpenStreetMap anyway, which should be used as canonical digital ground truth for roadway intents by automakers, regulators, and roadway O&M alike.
One thing that I've never understood is: if the cost of medicine (insulin is another example) is so high in the US, couldn't you just import?
So... completely possible then.
It's absurd to me that there haven't already been legal consequences for this. It isn't 'full self driving' and Tesla has been doing it for years. (remember 'autopilot', which I think at least German courts ordered them to remove).

And not only is the marketing fraudulent, I also found the manner in which they let 'beta test' software loose on streets completely irresponsible.[1]. I have no idea why that didn't have consequences either.

I miss neighborhood activities such as coordinated yard sales because I'm not on FB.

I miss announcements from my kid's fucking school because I'm not on FB.

> They're both examples of coercion by someone with power over a subordinate,

No, the teacher is (indirectly) your employee and it doesn't matter. If they threaten to withhold a grade you've earned it's clearly criminal, regardless of the threat used.

> they both involve trading your body (in the form of labor or sex) for money (or some sort of compensation)

If prostitution and a job are the same then it means prostitution isn't bad. But maybe your equivalency is wrong.

> they're both generally recognized as exploitative

I bet you'd say that letting your starve by not hiring you would be exploitative too.

Libel law explicitly applies only to factual claims that are false and damaging to another person's reputation. Opinions, including the ones Elon Musk expressed, would very clearly be protected speech in the context of libel law. Why these restrictions on libel law? Well, because of the First Amendment. Again, why should the courts restrict libel law to such a degree but allow labor law to dictate what opinions someone can or cannot express? (We can all accept, I hope, that Musk's tweet was his opinion.)

Also, which constitutional rights are in conflict here? Labor law is just enacted law, not constitutional in nature. If labor law conflicts with the Constitution, the Constitution wins.

I was a bit concerned because of this part, but now upon re-reading I suppose Austin was referring to large companies with lots of money, not amateur web developers.

Thank you and I appreciate your response.
the infrastructure will gradually shift from making roads safe for humans to making it safe for robots, meaning it will gradually become hostile to humans. as it gradually gets hostile to humans, they will have to use robots to get around, and so private capital will be able to extract rent from public infrastructure, and the public will still be responsible for maintaining and upgrading that infrastructure, at least until the body is killed by its parasites. isn't that the vision of über, and why so much investment has gone to it? isn't that all big tech does?
Hmm... I have severe ADHD, and I used to have problems with saying things that I really didn't want to say but I blurted them out in the heat of the moment without any intelligent consideration whatsoever (lies with too high reward), but that is alright now (I trained really hard to always hold for two seconds and think before talking).

However I also talk to myself entirely on purpose, and that's different from my inner dialogue in that while my inner dialogue is from my own perspective, I am talking to myself out loud as a second person (calling myself by my name etc) - that's how I get complex series of tasks done, by constantly asking myself if I have planned the plan, checked the plan, if I am following the plan, if I don't have anything else to do now, repeating the task at hand, etc. Meanwhile I also have my normal inner dialogue, this conversation didn't replace it.

That’s exactly the problem.

One would expect that when paying $10k for “full self driving”, that one would receive a car fully capable of driving by itself. Instead, Tesla defines that as whatever functionary they provide.

I’ve moved every 12-18 months for the past 10 years and rented everywhere. I’m one datapoint but apartments/property managers have been way better than private owners. The private owners always seem to be figuring out for the first time how to repair anything, always trying to save money, and have always tried to hold my deposit illegally. I’m pretty sure when these landlords talk to each other about “having someone else pay your mortgage” they also swap strategies and excuses to keep the security deposits. Corporate landlords otoh have their own repair people, processes to get repairs done, and have always been reasonable about returning my deposit. Lately I’ve been avoiding renting directly from owners.

I love my Tesla. But no way did I pay for FSD before I bought it or anytime since. In fact, the longer I own it... the less I actually care about FSD. I mean, I hope they can deliver on it one day; but I just don't want or need it. The existing functionality is all I need.

Edit: I waited in line in 2016 to preorder a Model 3. And have been driving one for 3+ years.

You want everyone to invest in a technology that currently only benefits a select few.

Why don't we invest that money in making current technology economical before we go asking single mothers driving clapped out Ford Taurus's to pay for it.
I'm amused by certain "big names" coming in and responding with arguments about how front-end wasn't that great back when either.

This idea that modern front-end has failed is not some absolute statement that means that all that came before was a success. In fact, it's a statement that with all our modern technology and idea's, we're still in a situation where we haven't improved on front-end tooling and development.

Also, just because front-end has exploded and created a huge amount of jobs, doesn't mean we're doing it right or well. There is just as much evidence to suggest that we need so many front-end developers because our current tooling and methods have made front-end development a massive job requiring many people.
To be honest, I don't know anything about Cloudflare's bot management product. That isn't my department.

I would speculate that proxying through any cloud service (Workers, AWS, Digital Ocean, whatever) can indeed be a tool to hide bot activity, and that any bots product needs to think about how to combat that. I would also speculate that originating IP address is not the only signal the product uses to determine threat. Moreover, I would speculate that this is all an arms race, there will be a constant stream of new techniques developed by bot authors and new techniques deployed to thwart them.

You may be right that the blog author intended to report a problem specifically in bot management, and I have no idea whether that specific problem is real. However, the blog post is not very clear, and many readers have misinterpreted it as reporting a way to totally bypass all Cloudflare protections, such as WAF, geo firewall, rate limiting, etc. That's the misunderstanding I meant to address. Sorry, I could probably have been clearer about that.

> These attempts to explain the presumed origin of life on Earth are strikingly similar to stretching and shrinking of time scales in Biblical Genesis to fit preconceptions (Schroeder, 1990).

That's one hell of a refutation.
How else is the technology going to benefit everyone if not for spending resources on it and scaling up? That is the investment. No one donated Tesla the capital required for a $600 million global Supercharger network; their Model S and X buyers ("wealthy consumers of goods") paid for that (out of vehicle margins). Self driving vehicles will be no different, and those capabilities will trickle down as most technology does over time, from only the wealthy paying for it ($10k is a hard pill to swallow for Autopilot) to mass adoption.
“Some people” in this case includes Tesla Motors, whose own web site still promises “full self-driving capabilities in the future—through software updates.”

It’s not really all that good at taking in new inputs, at least if our brains are anything like other mammals. There have been experiments where animals have certain senses depraved (eye sewn shut, for example) early in life, and then opened after their brain had fonished developing. Their brains never «learned» to take in the new sensory signals afterwards. At least not to the extent of a regular individual with all their senses since birth.
