Apropos: Ontology is Overrated -- Categories, Links, and Tags http://digitalcuration.umaine.edu/resources/shirky_ontology_...
It’s not really meant to be cute exactly, it’s more meant to take away the power of silencing tactics like, “oh so you’re a communist then?” by leaning into it and responding with absurdity. Nobody who calls you a socialist like that is trying to have a rational reasoned argument — they’re trying to put you on the defensive and shut down your argument using some mouth sounds they’ve memorized. But the trick and why these silencing tactics work is because if you try to take the high road and engage with them intellectually at all you lose. You spend all your energy on the defensive trying to explain why that’s so wrong it’s not even funny and it looks like they win because nobody is paying any attention after the snappy communist quip.

But if you lean into it and say something like “yeah obviously, I want that big Mao Zedong” observers know that you’re being absurd but the accusation just rolls off and now you control the direction of the argument.

This is basically how to publicly engage with people who argue in bad faith 101.
Because the architecture is not so important. What is important is what periphereals are available. And even if you have the same architecture you still need to test if you change something. And things change rapidly also in automotive. 10 years ago you had a 100 pin micro at 32Mhz clock with 64kb ram, now you have a 384 pin micro running atva couple of hundred MHz with 256 MB ram.
Cool, the more options the better.

I almost uniformly support diversity: companies are better with many different types of people (and more fun to work at), different CPUs and other components with differing designs and supply chains, every country having their own culture and local economies, avoiding social media and connect directly via email and texts, less power in a few huge corporations, etc.

You’re talking about very simple games here. Open world games are constantly streaming huge amounts of data, much more so than a browser, at much tighter timing limitations.

What more complex games do (simplified) is put file IO on one thread, network IO on another, and use async (worker threads with jobs) for the rest.
Negative Splitting in Ultra Marathons
It is the other way around.

Electron embeds a web browser, which is a highly complex asynchronous application which is written in C++ by one of only a handful of super high tech companies. It is notorious that efforts to make web browsers with other runtimes (e.g. Hotjava) have failed.

The web browser is async from top to bottom so it never blocks when loading possibly hundreds of resources that make up a web page. JavaScript is asynchronous so it can be embedded in the web browser, if it wasn’t it could lock the whole thing up.

I looked at what the options were for cross-platform guis written by applications programmers and they were not pretty, had serious warts, and all went out for long lunch breaks.

I think because the tone of the article and headline portrays radio technology as some sort of moral force for good, when really it's just a tool that increases human capability and can be used for good or evil (or neutral!) ends.

A list of famous Russian/Jewish mathematicians is also impressive.

Why did it become so popular and well adopted if that was the case?
A way to think about this is to see Google (or Apple) as a De-Facto State which governs a very important "ecosystem" in which customers and other businesses rely almost exclusively on. Its very existence depends on businesses and people relaying for important aspects of their existence on them. This is how they stay big and relevant.

In this environment they must make decisions for the sake of their their own interests and sometimes to protect other users.

The problem is that like any non-democratic state there's no balance in power between the executive power (the company and its algorithms) and their stakeholders, so I would expect this to get worst and more damaging over time.

Is it possible that they put their actions under the inspection of another entity? Can we expect that every government and legislation put their own rules to govern Google and protect its users from them?

Treehouse seem primarily skewed toward beginners but I wonder if the market for beginner programming and computing content is too saturated? Udemy dominates for paid computing-related video courses (for beginners) and YouTube covers the free tutorials option.

The production quality of the videos at Treehouse is high, but the quality of the instruction varies by teacher.

The link below is to a small, but helpful, YouTube channel called Tech Course Review. It reviews online learning platforms (Udemy, Pluralsight, etc) and has an informative review of Treehouse from December 2020:

If thieves have repeatedly shown that "proportional" (i.e. nonviolent) deterrents do not phase them, what do you do? Let them steal as they please? Close down your stores? Ruin what could be a high trust society?

When people care so little about your livelihood and your cultural rules, violence becomes an acceptable deterrent. And people who take issue with this perspective seem to act as though thieves have no control over their actions. It's actually very simple: if you don't want to risk being shot at, don't steal from people. The majority of burglary and robbery in the US is emphatically not committed out of desperation over food and/or shelter. Welfare covers that.
Having worked with DC, Marc21 and some of its precursors, I feel that one major problem with the approach is that cataloguers try to infinitely cut up metadata into ever smaller pieces until you end up with a impossible large collection of fields with an overly high level of specificity and low level of applicability.

For example, the middle name of a married name of a person that contributed to one part of one edition of the work in a certain capacity etc.

You end up with so much unwieldily specific metadata that consistent cataloguing and detailed searching become nigh impossible.

Ever since search engines, the world has moved into using mostly flat search engines rather than a highly specific facet search for deep fields. Of course, one would want something a bit smarter than full text search, but the real, human world is so complex that trying to categorise any data point quickly becomes an exercise in futility.

Indeed they do. They think "the metric we've been using to gauge relative fusion reactor performance for the past 50 years". You're suggesting not changing the metric as breakeven is approached is a lie.
Oh and how those categories change and are subject to human error and bias.

I believe the stark difference is, that a private company can spend what it earns, while the budget of government agencies or the military is basically arbitrary (committee-decided). Usually we would weigh agency spending against the value their service directly or indirectly provides. While a company's spending is weighed against its direct earnings.

When that happens, I get a text message from my bank and all I have to do is reply "yes" to confirm the transaction was valid and re-enable the card. Even if your bank doesn't offer that convenience, the worst case is you call then and they fix it.

According to pedestrianobservations.com/ double decker is bad because the much increased loading/unloading times make station idle time the limitting factor reducing throughput of the whole system.

The Joetsu Shinkansen (where most of the E4's operated) has a lower speed limit of 240km/h so these trains fitted perfectly.

I just like it personally. For one thing you have the solid jvm runtime, ides that work, good performance, etc.

With sealed types, var, and similar features, pattern matching, it is getting better all the time in small ways.

I recently wrote a dsl in Java that lets you write a Java AST , transform it as a tree, write Java source code, compile it. It is not quite as simple as doing the same in LISP and you have to mangle names a little to unerase types, but the IDE helps you find the names.
OP: tells a sad story of how their infrastructure has been hacked

Also OP: has no https on the web site

Anyway, the story gives strange vibes.
Yes, and the Shinkansen faces stiff competition from budget airlines, so speed has become a competitive advantage JR wants to push.

There's also a couple more reasons, namely that a double deck train takes longer to board/deboard, and that they're not very accessibility friendly. Plus Shinkansen have drink and food carts and those don't go up or down stairs.
>Would you react in the same way if they had used a fasces [1] instead of a clutched fist?

Oddly enough, the fasces had been minted onto the Mercury dime (the dime preceding the current Rooseveltian dime) and is a feature of several statues in the Capitol, Lincoln and Washington among them. If Edward Bernays is to be believed, symbols take the meaning people are convinced they have. And there's no better proof than 4chan's (particularly /pol/'s) sense of irony/humor with regards to the OK hand sign.

Charging efficiency isn't 100%, so you'd have to tow it further than the range you need. Seems like it'd make more sense to just tow it to a charger.
I thought you would fail most driving tests doing that.
true! I would like to see more independent fabs in the USA and Europe, but not sure when that can happen.
Ok, lets assume for a moment that throttle can be modelled by a PID plant (it can't) - is the circuit temperature stable? You don't want the characteristics changing as the engine. Now you need a compensator circuit. What about power supply stability and noise? Car power busses are hella noisy, due to alternator and spark coil. Now you need some serious conditioning and filtering. What about knocking? Modern ECUs adjust parameters on knock detection to reduce the damage from pre-ignition. Gotta put in a control system for that.

Repeat for manifold air temp, exhaust temp, emissions, rev limiter, etc., and as you mention, make that 3x for redundancy. Now you have hundreds to thousands of components, in a high noise, vibration, and temperature environment, and you have something which is about as efficient as an 80s car. And you can't as easily simulate it cause it's analog.

Or just use some digital chips and simulate all the tuning.

Its easier and more realistic to kill the company via a recall.

Take for example the Boeing 737-MAX. Eh, its bigger, needs a little more elevator movement to simulate the older model, just flex the software so it can wiggle a bit more what could possibly go wrong?

Likewise, remember the VW Diesel emissions "scandal". You can nearly kill a company without actually killing anyone.

So, the specified ECU chip (which is no longer in stock) could output 40 mA to the gas tank vacuum solenoid so we spec'd the solenoid to draw 30 mA on the coldest day of the year, usually it draws much less. Got a substitute chip only rated to 20 mA usually it'll work fine, what could possibly go wrong? Until it burns out and the vacuum solenoid fails open and nationwide millions of gallons of "excess" gas evaporate per year from sitting cars. Harmless on an individual scale but on a nationwide scale its a lot of ozone... Insert yet ANOTHER $35B recall to replace all the ECUs for willful emissions violations ...

I'm just saying its not binary where either people die and it kills the company or people aren't even harmed and nothing bad happens at all. Plenty of "company killer" situations where "what could possibly go wrong" got the F-around and find out treatment.

Ah. That explains why job applications often don't have the line where you check next to a box to indicate if you've ever been convicted of a crime.

Oh wait. They do.
That is a VM running in a web browser. If I was thinking about a joke that was so comically far away from the metal, that’s pretty much what I would use as an example.

This is why it’s very difficult to have conversations. Most programmers really don’t even know how computers work.
The little changes are going to end up as technical debt they will pay for later. And notice that they haven’t come out with any meaningful refresh of any of their cars, some of which have been on the market quite a while. It’s definitely too soon to suggest they have a good, effective update strategy.
I had the same feeling reading the post. Looking at their website and social media makes me even more sceptical.

They say they are a team of developers working on this for 3 years and having millions of users.

And then they have exactly two Twitter followers?

No address or company type in their contact section? An Alexa rank of over 3 million? A website that is not in the wayback machine?
> If thieves have repeatedly shown that "proportional" (i.e. nonviolent) deterrents do not phase them, what do you do?

How about a sentence of 20 to life? Even if that's still not enough to be effective as a deterrent, it means you won't have repeat criminals, since they'll still be in jail for their last crime.

Do you have any example of situations where Google have "locked [anyone] out of [their] digital identity" for ad fraud?

As far as I can tell, this blog post is only mentioning the company's Android developer account being disabled. It in fact shows evidence that other access to the account is still available (e.g. screenshots from the account security checkup tool, which wouldn't be accessible if the whole account was disabled). This does seem limited in scale.

Does anybody know if/how Ecosia tackles long-term viability of their trees?

Edit: From their site: "Of course, not all trees survive; that never happens. Ecosia therefore only counts trees that will survive for more than three years – a time when they’re robust enough to face most natural threats.

For instance, if we plant 1000 trees and know from experience that the mortality rate in this area is 25%, we’ll only add 750 trees to our tree counter. We continually measure the survival rate of the trees we plant, through inventories and satellite technology, and adjust our tree counter accordingly."

Fair, though my point was more that experienced riders that use clipless are still prone to falling.

Around campus, problems from not balancing with a backpack are more likely.

Though, I do mean to say I don't think it is a certainty. Just that it is more likely than you'd think. And helmets are good at low speeds. They are not just a high speed protection.

Exactly. Well put.

If you as a CEO feel burnt out etc and can't be bothered anymore to run the company and can't find a buyer, but the folks who joined your company are still invested because they believe in the vision, then let them buy the company from you. I'm sure some arrangement could have been made, even if you're not getting the millions you were expecting.

At least you'd protect your personal brand when you go and do your next venture.

But the way Ryan handled this is really poor - especially those sailing boat shots, while his employees had to worry about finding the next job.

Poor leadership and he totally burnt his personal brand imo.
