1. What do you mean by self-reinforcing? Self-replicating?

2. I think using the term reproduction for this is stretching the term to the point of uselessness. I mean, for example in a chemical solution you have a redox reaction where molecules on one side of the "equation" turn into the molecules on the other side and back in a cyclical loop, but I wouldn't say that they are "reproducing", as I don't know what the point of saying so would be. The redox reaction and the way organisms reproduce are two of many kinds of cyclical processes. At least that seems to me an useful distinction.

Correct story, but arguably the wrong war. The allies in WWI really invented much of modern propaganda, paving the way for Berneys, Lippmann et al. to refine those methods for marketing use. Hitler and Goebbels both wrote about the manipulative and underhanded use of propaganda by the allies as being the cause of Germany's defeat in WWI and seemingly carried a lot of resentment about it (while simultaneously trying to outdo them)
> I need to stop blaming others and start owning my mistakes.

There's a big difference between owning up to your mistakes and taking on a bunch of unnecessary risk in situations where you know it's more likely you're going to make mistakes. IE: Learning, testing, etc..

In fact taking on unnecessary, possibly unlimited financial risk in a situation like that is a mistake. Want to own that one?

Super easy to incorporate with React. Just use react to pass attributes, like so:

class App extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
<my-component custom-attribute={value}></my-component>
)
}
}

In your webcomponent just make sure you listen to changes to that attribute like so:

static get observedAttributes() {
return ['custom-attribute']
}

Then you can decide how the component changes whenever that attribute is updated by using the `attributeChangedCallback` function. Alternatively, use a base element that incorporates a render() function which will automatically update everything in the shadowdom.

Main difference is it becomes much harder to pass complex data structures. Passing strings is easy, but passing an array of data isn't feasible with this model.
“Unimaginable technology” does not free us from thermodynamic reality. The Earth can radiate heat into space, but convection and conduction are unavailable.

We have two hundred and fifty years, assuming we completely rid the atmosphere of carbon dioxide, methane, and all other greenhouse gases. Hopefully you can see that this means it will be less than that amount of time.

I don’t know about you but “some amount less than 250 years” to get the entire globe to agree to permanently cap energy production is almost comically implausible. No politician will ever get elected on a platform centered around this, much less an entire planet of such governments. And as with all tragedies of the commons, every individual will have a multitude of reasons to personally use more while hoping that everyone else makes the necessary noble sacrifice.

Has anything about this last year of a global pandemic given you reason to believe that humans as a whole will accept an indefinite future of permanent restriction for the sake of everyone? We can barely get half the American population to obey stay at home orders for a few weeks at a time, and that’s to say nothing of countries like Brazil whose leaders refuse to even acknowledge a problem. Hell, we’re fifty years into scientists sounding the alarm about greenhouse gases, and we’ve only managed to accelerate our production of them in the time since.

I’m honestly just glad I won’t live to see this play out.

> But you do, right? Denounce white supremacy? If your coworker demanded it, you might roll your eyes a bit but you'd do it? Right?

Bullying people creates enemies, not allies. They might not be a white supremacist but they would not denounce them either because you are being so annoying.

As a counter example, lets say someone comes to you in the middle of your work and demand you denounce black crime. Would you do it? Black crime is bad, right? Why wouldn't you denounce black crime, are you pro crime? That can't be true, can it, why can't you just denounce it? Its just a few words, simple right?

Now, you would likely just see that guy as an annoying racist rather than someone who wants law and order. Now from that perspective take a look at yourself and see how people see you when you try to force random people to denounce white supremacy.
You would think they would validate this technique's accuracy by showing how it performs against all the aircraft whose positions are known as test cases.

That they didn't do this (or maybe aren't discussing it) makes me weight this finding as much as any other noisy report of people believing they saw something in the sky.

I have the opposite experience (very low "passenger comfort") in tilting trains, and I always thought that this is what actually killed them:

I'm slightly suspectible to motion sickness (e.g. "normal" trains are fine, but sitting in the back seat of a car or in a bus can be a bit of a problem, especially when trying to read something).

When I was on a tilting train once (maybe about 10 years ago? AFAIK they are no longer in use) the motion sickness kicked in pretty hard.

PS: Interestingly, a tilted track (which seems to be quite usual now on newly built high speed tracks) doesn't affect me at all. I guess it was the general "wobbliness" of the tilt train.
There's no "right way" of doing things on the web either - but there's plenty of ways to choose that fit your organization and the way you work.

Why is that a problem? That is - why do you need Google to tell you how to do your job well?

Doesn’t matter. The engineering solution is known (as I type I am literally looking at overhead power cables above the street, powering one of Berlin’s tram lines). Use that class of existing solutions rather than asking me to reinvent it badly.

> Next to said tracks though are millions of acres of land that wouldn’t have all the maintenance issues and would actually work?

Great, so use that too, if you like. But the ask I was responding to was the idea we should use land which is already in an unnatural state.

I struggle with how to handle this at work. I am a data engineer and while writing new scripts to pull data, the testing process sometimes involves waiting 15 mins to an hour (or more) for all the data to pull. Some times I'll start a new task in the middle of the pull or, if I expect it'll only be a few minutes, I'll flip out my phone. But once the data is finished pulling, I'll then need to jump back it and validate it one last time.

I'm curious what others do during this sort of downtime?
> How do you know this? What else would the brain be if not a computer, and if you agree that it is a computer, why do you believe it doesn't have some equivalent of "software"?

Because not all computers have this distinction, the first man-made computers did not have this distinction and the distinction still isn't that clear.

“software” is simply the part the end-user is expected to be able to change. The F.S.F. simply defines it as everything stored in writable memory, but the distinction between writable and nonwritable memory is not even so clear.

The human brain doesn't have a distinction between writable and nonwritable memory, and memory is implemented in circuitry itself.

One can build a computer even today that has no distinction between software and hardware.

I suspect the answer depends in part on how competent you are at the activity.

For example, if I'm learning to jog at a new cadence (180spm) I need to focus on just that. Once that's become my baseline I can listen to a podcast.

Similarly, if I'm at a stage of unconscious competence [1] driving to work, I can speak with a passenger. However, if it's a new section of road I'll need to pay more attention to signage, etc. at the cost of the conversation.

I think multitasking is one of those words that has been used so much it has been reified. Ive never really thought it was a real thing outside of some careful and nonuniversal definition.
What is inside or outside the task of jogging differs depending on your goal for jogging. And what is central to your attention is also very fluid. same goes for listening to a podcast.. If your on a running machine, listening to Nerd poker, you probably wont miss any of the best jokes, if your running in a city crossing roads listening to 99pi you might not remember it all afterwards. sometimes I find moving while listening to something increases my recall because of the spatial associations made.
Are you seriously suggesting that someone who wants to use AWS should go and read all the documentation and watch all the official videos available? That would take literally years. It's huge.

It also doesn't solve the problem. If the user makes a mistake they still lose a ton of money.

It's a really interesting problem. It's getting too big and too scary for a new developer to jump in and try AWS services, which means new devs will move on to newer services with better UX. I wonder if this sort of problem is one of the few existential threats AWS could actually face. Its possible it could end up as the Oracle or Salesforce of cloud services, very successful in enterprise but definitely not a good thing to have on your resume if you want to join a startup...
Isn’t there a service that does something like this? I’d think by this point someone had made a business out of it if it was a serious problem.
It probably came up because of the "funny" internal names they were giving to customers, some of them being in Asia and Africa. While some may view that as harmless fun, others might see it as mocking/insulting. Maybe it's a valid question whether the names came from wanting to feel superior.

If my wife told me the neighbors got a BMW, I could reply that "Huh, their bank is going to lose all their money", mocking them to make myself feel better after seeing that I'm not that well-off to be able to buy such a car. IMO it would be an attempt by me to gain some superiority...
You mean it comes into the same question as various Android devices devices that have an outdated version installed on sale and will never receive any update? I don‘t think the broad audience will care that much...

And that methane does not stay in the atmosphere forever, but only for a decade or two. It’s all part of a cycle.

If it makes it easier to think about it, here is one way: imagine a world with no humans, no fossil fuels, but stable population of 10 billion cows. These 10 billion cows produce tremendous amounts of methane. Do you expect this methane to warm the climate over next 1000 years? If you do, you’re wrong: if the population has been and will stay stable, the methane that cows emit is just enough to replace the methane decomposing to CO2 and H2O that was previously emitted by the cows. As long as population numbers are constant, the amount of methane in the atmosphere is also constant, and you’ll see no climate warming.
Jokes aside, the programmer in me wonders why there are individual skin tone code points in the first place, instead of generic (colorless) "skin tone modifier", which would then be followed by a color codepoint from a palette of named colors, say 256 of those. So I'd write: Rightward Hand + Generic Skin Tone + Green, ZJW, Leftward Hand + Generic Skin Tone + Blue, to express a handshake between an Orion and an Andorian. Or, if 256 colors are not enough, you could write a combination of RGBA Color Modifier + eight characters in [0-9A-Fa-F] range...

This would also help with hair colors and bunch of other stuff that has separate code points at the moment. I have a feeling we'll end up with an approximation of this at some point, maybe a decade from now.

My question on Alexa apps is will I end up paying a massive AWS bill if I make a popular app?

The great thing about mobile apps is that you can shift the workload onto the users device and end up having little to no infrastructure. Alexa needs to find a happy medium.
I'm using a static html file for the full app. The client side selectively removes/adds html for each of the pages depending on the url. Upside to this approach is that static = fast. Downside is if I prerender then the routes don't have the initial context for navigation to other pages. The prerender shows only a subset of the full site. I'd have to re-architect the client side router I wrote to support it, and that's very low on my MVP list, especially with performance in the 200-400ms range as it is.
That's a good point: it is easy to derail with politics, I agree. Though living in a politically polarized country I just ignore political examples.

> How does the Android Studio compares with Xcode?

Android Studio is a massively better IDE (being based on IntelliJ) with significantly better code inspection, refactoring and linting tooling.

Android itself has a better build system, being based on (kinda) industry standard Gradle which can be more easily automated and plugged into a CI. Doing automation based on Xcode is pure hell. It also has a better dependency management system with scriptable and pluggable components which you can use to improve you build.

Xcode is also seriously behind on testing with seriously buggy and problematic test runners which also love to fail with random code signing dialogs on CI nodes.

Where Android Studio lags behind is in performance (Gradle tends to be a dog) and the emulator (which is still slower than iOS Simulator, but more correct in its functionality). It can also be more buggy (especially when it comes to using tools like profilers) and can lag QoL features (like a good clickety click UI designer).

In general, for larger projects run by companies, Android Studio has been a better experience than Xcode. For pure beginners, Xcode is more friendly until you hit the wall of trying to automate things.

That's a bad line of reasoning. I could try to 10X my investment at a poker table. That doesn't mean I should try, even though it would probably be less risky than putting money into cryptocurrencies.

You can pick any risky investment that's currently doing well and say after the fact "look how wrong you were to doubt this". It doesn't mean that investing in that thing at that time was ever the right thing to do. People have been losing money for centuries following similar lines of thinking.

Cryptocurrencies, blockchains, distributed ledger technologies etc have been bashed pretty comprehensively by economics and finance experts as well as tech ones, because they are a bad solution to almost every problem they have been thrown at.

I see a lot of sentences like this with wrong prepositions. It should be "sending ... to" third parties not "with" them. I see this error far more often than other errors and no one seems to object. "On accident" (it should be by accident) seems to be common parlance now.

> If I want to do Android stuff, is there any reason to use Android Studio in favour of IDEA? It seems AS is based off of an older version of IDEA, so why not use use IDEA?

Mostly because IDEA is far behind on Android features and it takes awhile for it to merge in Google patches. You'll have issues with most cutting edge support like UI editors, Compose, new Gradle features, etc.

I have never seen a "heavyweight" non-speculative application of crypto.

It seems almost tautological, if you need a strong system of guarantees in the real world, you usually have some central agency involved, and that agency needs to be trustable. Blockchain is still subject to garbage in garbage out after all.

I live in an offshore jurisdiction. They have reputations - but 'tax efficiency' is just one factor of many. Others would be how stable the legal system is / how often do laws change / what regulations are optimised for your particular company finances / how reliable the government is etc. You wouldn't want to move your very wealthy multinational company structure somewhere that could collapse or be somewhere where your company could not get financing etc.
Not true. Many countries quite legally let you not pay any taxes of foreign dividends, for example, as long as you are tax resident. And they give you tax residence if you spend only 60 days a year in the country and not a tax resident in any other (i.e. don't spend over 183 days a year there). Cyprus is an example: YES you quite legally can avoid paying almost any taxes at all if you are bothered to live here 60 days a year and pay 10-15K per year in legal fees.

There's a reason futures can go negative, that is when the contracts get close to expiry, the holder becomes legally liable to receive the oil. Since the speculators have no way to actually do this (and that storage was at capacity anyway), it makes sense to sell to shift the liability to someone else. There is not such analog for shares that I can see.
But if it broke up in the air/on the surface, wouldn't we expect a lot more debris? It's all very odd.

Instagram were heavily using Python (and Django) when acquired by Facebook, whereas Facebook proper were a PHP shop.

The most interesting aspect really is that both companies have run in to the limits of performance with dynamically typed languages and had to implement their own language runtimes, AOT compilers, and JIT's.
