Nothing can return after having crossed the event horizon. Gravity bends space and time, and in particular it changes which direction the time axis points. In a black hole, the time axis is bent all the way over so that it points directly at the singularity. All paths that enter the black hole must end at the singularity, because to do otherwise would require going backwards in time or faster than the speed of light.
Back in the before times, taxi drivers knew how to navigate a city just by memory. Give them an address and they'd probably know how to find it.

Most likely this app was not navigation. Remember, feature phone, probably had less than a couple hundred MB of memory for the entire device. I assume the app would just give the taxi driver address details and what not.

Robots are nowhere close to being any practical replacement for the many basic labors we all depend on.

Just caring for one another is one of those labors and it is significant. Enabling our elders to have income lifted a heavy burden off the middle class. Having enough buying power to support the whole family, whether cohabiting or not was and remains a big deal.

We did that for our parents and their Social Security made a huge difference in how our kids grew up and our overall quality of life.

On a side note, universal health care would have a similar, positive impact on all but very large business.

We are going to need to value things differently.

We can pay people more, have them work fewer hours, allow flex in work time, place, manner.

It simply is not necessary to force everyone to work until they drop.

Again, taking the value out of everything has skewed things toward an artificial scarcity of time. Does not have to be that way.

I do not believe it should be that way.

If we somehow insist, fail to value things in ways that help us live better, the ripple impacts will just cost more.

A whole lot boils down to what we value and why.

Right now, for example, we do not value taking care of our own, instead focusing on money. We do not value basic labors well either.

These two have a serious, negative impact on things like social security, our general ability to compete with other nations and more.

Those basic labors save us doing not so basic labor a ton of time, for example, yet we pay a pittance, shame those performing them, and somehow expect the some 40 some Trillion those people did not take home to pass unnoticed?

We can run the nation leaner than we do, and we should. And those lower numbers mean those doing the labor should live well, seeing as how there is plenty to do.

If we do that, their buying power will grow our economy nicely. Liquid dollars and high demand are good things.

If we raise and or had raised our contribution caps, the program would be running just fine.

If we need to run a deficit on that for a time, so what?

Maybe we can cut back on endless war.

There are enough people, is enough technology to do just fine.

All of this is a priority problem and our priority at present is not well aligned with our people's needs and that can amd should change.

Say we do need more labor.

Fine, make being an American easy again. Plenty of people will step right up and do it.

I definitely have had this issue. I'm a native English speaker and taught in Europe for a few years, where a subset of students had trouble understanding me, mostly because I would just drop too many consonants and run words together. E.g. if speaking quickly, I tend to pronounce "because" as one syllable, something like "biz". I've moved towards much more consciously enunciating words in mixed-nationality settings. Americans now sometimes think I sound foreign though!
> The stake/spacetime/electricity isn't wasted; it is used to establish global consensus.

I still would like everyone to understand how proof-of-work really works, I don't think many people do.

The current Bitcoin hash rate means that all those miners are currently calculating on the order of 100.000.000.000.000.000.000 hashes per second.

Of those, in Bitcoin only around 6 per hour have any actual effect. Six. Those are the ones that met the arbitrary target. The other 10^20 did not do any actual work, meaning that none of them did bring any miner, not even the same miner, the same chip, closer to the "answer". In that sense, they are wasted.

Instead, it is literally a lottery. The difficulty is adjusted such that if you try 100.000.000.000.000.000.000 random numbers per second, 6 per hour will randomly hit the target. It's more "raffling" that "mining".

Perhaps there's an implicit quantifier here: "for all valid implementations of the C standard, the loop count is guaranteed to be 16" versus "there exists a valid implementation of the C standard in which...".

I think the issue isn't with Wasm support, it's the filesystem API. They could've included a polyfill though... But as that API is new it might not be available yet.
I would note that the article is explicitly contesting the definition of UB that you are giving here (though you are absolutely right that this is the de facto definition used by all major compilers, and the commtitee).

Basically the article is arguing that UB should be similar to Unspecified behavior - behavior that the implementation leaves up to the hardware and/or OS.

I'm not sure where I fall to this issue, though I would note that the definition of UB in the standard needs quite a bit of interpretation to arrive at the commonly used definition you are quoting. That is, while I think the definition you give is compatible with the one in the standard, I don't think it is the definition of the standard, which is much softer about how UB should impact the semantics of a C program. In particular, nothing in the wording of the standard expliclty says that an implementation is expected to assume UB doesn't happen, or that a standard-conforming program can't have UB.
Not a biologist, but my impression is that in some of ways, individual ants behave more like cells in a multi-celled organism than individual animals. The hive is the organism. (The analogy is certainly not perfect.)

Considering that, I don't find this paradoxical at all, still very fascinating. Please correct me if my understanding is wrong, but I think cancer also in some sense helps the individual cell at the cost of the organism. For example, cancers induce the formation of cappilaries to get more nutrients -- not so dissimilar from these infected ants inducing other ants to feed them.

One particular example might be Oregon’s decision to decriminalize all drugs[0] during a time when overdoses are at an all time high[1] and increasing over 40% in just the last year.

JavaScript is not a scripting language for Java.
Very well written.

- I have nodejs server for the APIs and its running on m5.xlarge instance. I haven't done much research on what instance type should I go for. I looked up and it seems like c5n.xlarge(mentioned in the article) is meant compute optimized. That cost difference isn't much between m5.xlarge and c5n.xlarge. So, I'm assuming that switching to c5 instance would be better, right?

- Does having ngnix handle the request is better option here? And setup reverse proxy for NodeJS? I'm thinking of taking small steps on scaling an existing framework.

A different lens to view this through has to do with economic and population shifts over the last century. Specifically the huge increase in agricultural productivity.

"In 1900, just under 40 percent of the total US population lived on farms, and 60 percent lived in rural areas. Today, the respective figures are only about 1 percent and 20 percent." [1]

That's a large erosion of political and economic power in those rural areas as more people moved out of agriculture into other industries that tend to be located in population centers. Not sure how that changes unless we move away from large corporate farms back to smaller family farms (See various Wendall Berry essays and novels where he lays out what's happened to rural areas over the last century as family farms have dwindled), however, that seems very unlikely.

The reference implementation is Python, so there's lots of room to optimize. I wonder if you can eventually build an ASIC that replaces the disk based lookup with in memory calculations of the same data.

Hum i did not know that word but i have thought allot about that.

Especially in relation to “neurological disorders” like ADHD.
Where some people blame their ADHD for their behavior. Or basically anything that has to do with personality. It is clearly as you say tautological.
You have a certain personality because you behave in a certain way, you don’t behave in a certain way cause you have a certain personality.

But then you have the fact that earlier personality can be used to predict future personality and future behavior. It is not causal but it is predictive.

Some people call that causal people in social science. I think that is twisting the definition of “causal”.

> The article links to this [1] discussion. The link is supposed to show the peculiar arguments used by proponents of current behavior. What I read there is someone lashing out, calling names, and grand-standing.

Even worse, the person who raised that issue is mostly just wrong: the code they wrote had not worked with any optimizations turned on for about 13 years at the time they raised that bug. Teh fact that it worked in debug builds seems irrelevant, so the whole bug is complaining about a change that had no impact on the 99% of released code which is compiled with -O2 or -O3.

This is me guessing: This sounds like before turn-by-turn navigation was possible. If they had to approximate location via a set list of cell ids, then that doesn't give very precise location data. Also, back then, I am guessing, there where not as good map data available, especially not that would fit in a phone. I would also think that this was before synthesised speech was really possible to do on a phone.

The world is a different place today.
Oh, even easier then; the phone would just have to read the address aloud. Symbian phones were able to run text-to-speech as far back as 2002; my best friend is blind and used a Nokia phone with a screen reader back then.
For most of humanity's existence, we were nomadic hunter-gatherers. The majority of what we HAD to do was keep moving. We traded that life for a more predictable food supply during the agricultural "revolution." That was when the back-breaking labor, long hours and slavery really took off.

>when the income sources are mutually exclusive, there's no incentive to work unless the pay exceeds some threshold.

They're not mutually exclusive. As I explained, with a negative income tax you are always better off earning more yourself. In fact you always keep most of every extra dollar you earn.
I think the solution to this lies in peer-to-peer. Accessing content from other users directly from the IP addresses they have been assigned. The internet as used without paid hosting companies and advertising-supported intermediaries (free hosting on social media, or other forms of middlemen). Even IP addresses, i.e., accounts with ISPs, are often transitory over the course of a lifetime, so there is no "perfect" solution. Why store content exclusively with third parties. Store content offline on removable storage. Take it with you from computer to computer, ISP to ISP. Today, it is easier than ever, though maybe not "easy enough", to share content from home, peer-to-peer. That is, without using a hosting company, social media website, etc. The OP correctly identifies "popularity" as a problem. If you filter all your thinking about the internet through the lens of "popularity" (like Google and Facebook, and the thousands of "tech" wannabes) then you are dead in the water. That is how the "tech" people want you to think. The only content that is important in their world is popular content. Because they rely on advertising to support themselves, that is how they must think. You, the user, do not have to rely on advertising. You do not need to care about popularity. You do not have to be an unpaid content producer for "tech" companies.

To be precise, not everyone can join (indeed it is the non-profit bylaws that establishes this) but to be tax exempt it has to be what is called "open". I.e any person that fulfills the membership criteria can join (and it is the non-profit that decides on there should be a fee or not).

To be a non-profit you also have to spend at least 80% of the income on the stated purpose of the non-profit (which of course might benefit members in the way that the goals of the non-profit is worked on but not in the way of paying money to member).

Is there any data that backs this up? This feels like a pipe dream to me that's totally unfounded.
The broader argument is that signedness of the integer type used for indexing is a non-obvious gotcha affecting vectorizability. It makes sense once you understand C integer semantics, but putting on a language designer hat, I'd go with something more explicit.
