The safety concept is pretty clear in fact: "Your extravaganza and attention craving, puts my life in risk".

To start, all car makers must destroy several vehicles in crash tests before are allowed to touch any public space. The analysis of the damages in dummies proves that they are safe in the most common types of collisions.

This car has not passed it. Would end the steering pedal buried in your belly in an accident? Nobody knows.

Was built with 1950' technology. Technology from the Korean war!. Early 90's maximum. Totally outdated in terms of safety. The structure could accumulate easily 50 years of stress over the materials or even more.

Wasn't designed to hold airbags or points able to support attachments for pyrotechnic seat belts. They would never work correctly with that structure.

The airplane part don't includes modern extra weak points designed and arranged in the structure to bend in a safe way and absorb the energy. Is a total mess in this sense. The pointy end probably guarantees, in my non expert opinion, that the cabin would be stripped off from the truck and pushed back against the driver in a frontal crash.

The brake system wasn't designed for this weight and center masses so could stop the vehicle too late, bend the brake disk or work in an unpredictable way.

The center mass looks higher than normal. The vehicle could turn upside down in a closed curve

In case of collision against somebody walking on the street the front of the vehicle is clearly unsuitable to protect human lives from serious injuries in spinal cord, head or legs. They wouldn't even see it coming with this tiny windows

And is so ugly that even hurts my eyes.

If you drive a sofa or a two-story bicycle you basically accept the risk over your life, not mine. A truckenstein is a different issue. I don't want this experiments allowed to be in the same road as me, ever.

The fork-wars of old will never happen again, IMO, on any chain of significance. These days, fork winners will be decided by the stablecoin operations they host. If ETH forks, for instance, hash power will follow whichever chain Jeremy Allaire deems the winner.
That's your classic chicken and egg problem. Few will use the service if the user experience is poor, and your algorithm will not get much useful input.

If you could figure out how to improve it without essentially becoming Google and spending 2 decades and billions of dollars, then we're talking...

PoS in Ethereum is not a plutocracy...There is no voting with the token or any other governance. The stakers do not control the network, by design. The whole system works only if everybody (holders/users/stakere/devs) cooperate together.
There's something akin to a law of nature at work on Reddit that goes something like this: Any sub-reddit (or it's topic-at-hand) that garners any national attention in the political sphere will become an echo chamber full of corporate shills unless there is constant and public vigilance to guard against it, and even then the sub's chances for surviving to fulfill its original mission is grim. I f'ing hate what Reddit has become.
For that reason I'm very happy I'm with Giffgaff in the UK - they literally don't have any telephone based support. If you need support you need to message them.....from your account online. Oh and any request to transfer the number takes at least a few days to go through, and you get notification that it's happening - same if you are being sent a replacement SIM. I imagine a number takeover attack would be very difficult due to this.
This is just for the media attention, nothing more.

I am convinced he’s a savant. A combination of maybe naturally higher senses in the fingers and a methodical approach to solving puzzles.

I got pretty good pretty fast at picking, and that convinced me he is otherworldly in his talent and abilities.

On another note, I’m really going to miss Bosnian Bill, he excelled as a teacher and worked hard to remove anything mystical or subjective from approaching lock picking. LPL is great, but still doesn’t quite go into deep detail about how to improve at tensioning, dealing with various types of pins, in a way that resonates with “regular” people, where Bill was just a huge help in those areas.
This sure seems like a weakness of the so-called "modern" web browser. Simpler, safer clients and proxies have no trouble dealing with a server that is (deliberately) too slow.

> We are told again and again that correlation is not causation

I'm beginning to suspect that maybe we're told this too often, so we're starting to take it for granted that correlation can't be causation. But the saying actually only means that correlation is not necessarily causation. Quite often, correlation is actually there because of causation.
Glad you liked it!

It doesn't look like that at all, this is a legit email and there's not been even a hint of evidence to the contrary. https://www.flickr.com/groups/olympus-e500/discuss/721576308... (via: alisonkisk)

No idea what sent the stackexchange poster down this paranoid rabbit hole, the email doesn't even contain any links.
If you're describing an equity structure, you're unpacking the definition of the word "ownership." Saying "the city owns it" or "no one owns it" is just a naming thing.

Ownership is just a bunch of rights. In any case, why not securitize a sports team?

Screen readers work great, for me it's my phone. On my desktop I'd be getting distracted and bored in about two paragraphs. Even if I try to come back to the article, there's invariable 3 other things that I'm switching between.

On my phone I've read 250k word books cover to cover, same books I could never read on a PC. Attention is weird like that.

Another trick is getting your dopamine* externally. There's an association between ADHD and substance abuse, and I can see why. Pharmacology is a cheat code: a few hours of infinite motivation, will power, and attention.

Unfortunately, when people start needing a substance just to feel normal, that is the definition of an addiction.

(* More complicated than just Dopamine or Serotonin, both seem to play a role. Medecine has not solved this one yet.)
What is copy_regular_files? All I found is some Rust code which does not use a single syscall as claimed (it takes file descriptors, so you need to open/close it anyway).

> uses copy acceleration when the file system supports it

I thought that refers to clone_file_range, but that doesn't seem to be the case. As such, I would recommend looking into that, I believe it's supported on btrfs and XFS currently in Linux.

There is also sendfile, but it's probably the same as copy_file_range.
What movie genres would you recommend in there?
When you dream, do you "see" things? Ever tried doing math or remembering a password or phone number in a dream? It's similar to that. A blurry picture is a pretty good analogy, except it seems sharp. If you look at the bottom of the bike you see gears, pedals, chains, but it's hard to see how they connect. It's a patchwork of concepts.

Interesting. This is the first time I've seen Robert Martin to be referred to as a fraud. I'd like to read an elaboration of this.

I looked around and found this video [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mb9VPWbrqmE][Uncle Bob (Robert Martin) is a Fraud!!!]] but most of the comments are dismissive of the review.
I cannot second this enough.
Uncle Bob et all have done imeasurable bad to a lot past and future devs generations.

Yeah, while I think the packaging a lot of PC laptops use is kinda gross, I think Apple is ridiculous about packaging. That said, I'll give them a pass because they package their headphones and little dongles and stuff IN CARDBOARD BOXES or those soft plastic bags. Apple never uses plastic clamshells. Thank goodness. Especially not the kind you have to cut open with scissors. Those are truly evil.
This is a lot of legal knowledge. But not $50bn worth. I'm guessing the real story is DocuSign is trying to worm its way into being a de facto monopoly, maybe by paying enough lobbyists, and the $50bn is the bet that they'll be successful. Multiplied up a bit by the fact that we've been living in a free-money world, where castles in the air get pick-a-number valuations.

The issue with those products today is that some are more expensive because they include new tech like AI, wifi and crap like that. The core or the product is low to mid range but the adding (useless) tech means that it will be high priced.
If you buy a low tech/high range product, you'll be able to serve it easily and it will outlast you.

It is not a waste, as it provides physical security, exactly the same as idle nuclear missiles on standby do, or standing armies that are "doing nothing", until a war happens.

The vast majority of mining today uses sustainable energy (70%+), because it is actually cheaper.

This is a binary view of development-verses-production. I appreciate languages that treat this as a continuum and let me make my own trade-offs.

Common Lisp, Smalltalk, and Erlang all treat the process as running indefinitely. This gives those languages a certain something special.

I was hoping to find the same thing in Julia. It's not there. It seems like a significant missed opportunity to me. These dismissive comments make it sound like you guys might not know what you are missing.
Or we've spent a whole lifetime training spatial recall, and so we can do that part better. I can spatially "manipulate" scenes I remember well with great precision, and I don't visualise anything. As such I don't think you can reasonably say anything at all about the ability to visualise based on this.

1. Apple requires Hardware Margins, I am not even aware of a single hardware category they sold that have low / zero margin.

2. Apple constantly pushes changes in their OS and API. Breaking backward compatibility. Part of the reason why many iOS Games dont work after a few iOS update anymore. Compared to console where games are expected to work during the life span of the console.

3. Thirdly and most importantly. There are zero gamers DNA in Apple. They dont understand Gaming.
Another opportunity to state the obvious, which is: We should not let governments restrict the dissemination and copying of information - even if they codify it in law and threaten people with jail and fines.

Copyrights (other than the right of attribution and such) are essentially a conspiracy of publishers' cartels, going back to 17th century British law:

"An Act for preventing the frequent Abuses in printing seditious treasonable and unlicensed Books and Pamphlets and for regulating of Printing and Printing Presses".

The problem was with this person, not so much with the GoF book. In present days this person might have become an FP fundamentalist and come up with some exotic category theory quiz question that he was very fond of himself.
The GoF book is now of course outdated but the idea of categorizing best practices from the industry was a good one. Unfortunately many good ideas will be abused by people who lack the common sense to know how and where to apply them.

Look out for (keep away from) US residential lock brands, like Schlage or anything you can buy at Home Depot. Newer Kwikset locks are OK but still susceptible to some more moderate attacks with a shim.

In general, try to get any “rated” European lock. They have standards for pick resistance and brute force resistance unlike retail US locks. Look for something with dimple pins, an active element, or multiple pin stacks with security pins, trap pins (anti tamper).

With all that said I don’t think the low security locks we have are such a problem. You can break a window open or just find an unlocked door if you are looking to do some bad shit. I like how Schuyler Towne put it: locks are just a social contract. I’m saying, hey, don't go opening that door, and as a civil society we agree not to.

A higher security lock on your home isn’t going to make your flimsy door harder to kick down, or your window harder to break, so yeah it’s nice to be educated on the security trade offs you make physically, but I’m not sure it’s important to beef up residential security in the US.

> If you could visualize a bike then you'd be drawing a poorly drawn bike that was fundamentally correct.

This contains the presupposition that the ability to visualize a bike draws on a precise memory of what that something actually looks like, rather than is a construction from a heavily compressed representation that may or may not include the information necessary to reproduce something accurate.

I don't think it's a valid assumption at all.

Even if the information is there, it presumes that the visualisation functions like displaying a photo rather than symbolically reconstructing an image the way you might e.g. draw it, equally limited by skill as your ability to draw.

From the descriptions here, I'm not convinced it's a valid presumption to think it's like a photo for most people vs. "drawing" an image either.
I have aphantasia (when I'm awake) and visual imagery in my dreams that is sharper and more detailed than real life. I'm also able to lucidly dream although I try not to as it messes with my long term memory.

I would say that we can dream about most things but there are a few obvious limits as there are types of thoughts that will make you wake up:

* Reading is difficult and typically books in dreams don't have words in them.

* "Pushing" (there is no good word for this) the direction of a dream in a particular way too hard will wake you up. It has to be done very gently.

* Abstract reasoning / logic is difficult in dreams, it causes you to concentrate too hard and then you wake up.

In general the limits are to do with the two dominant modes of thought: spontaneous unquestioning creation of ideas is very compatible with dreaming and you can float easily between multiple "perspectives" or versions without any problem. Analytical / questioning / critical thinking is incompatible with dreaming and causes you to wake up. Lucid dreaming is typically learning how to float in the sweet spot between the two modes.

> Our teacher said it felt like pulling a rabbit out of the hat.

This is something you do when you prove something. It's the shortest way but it's also totally lacking in motivation. It's a Deus Ex Machina, which is a terrible way of explaining mathematics to people. When I was taught "completing the square", it was presented as another method for solving a quadratic equation, and not just a proof of the quadratic formula. If people in the US are taught this way, that's not good for US-ians. And this whole discussion is weirdly US-centric.
