FYI your second example isn't actually valid ruby. You need to either wrap the arg for raise in parens:

Or use the `or` keyword:

user = db.query(id) or raise "UserNotFound"

Equality means everyone is judged on merit instead of this dystopian view that you’re espousing where people should be considered on immutable physical properties above all.
- On the malleability of culture, and the absolutely temporary nature of the world order that we think is stable.

- On interstellar travel, and how completely bonkers it would be to ride on a steadily-degrading spaceship for a decade, with just enough fuel to stop when you get there, and no more. And what it might take to get our civilization to care enough to try (seems like a terrible calamity is the only way).

- I firmly believe that there is a sequence of words that, if constructed properly for an individual, (perhaps even less than 1000 words), would convince anyone of anything. I try to think of short sequences of very-convincing arguments, mostly to no avail. I think about this a lot when politicians ramble on and on -- just not creative enough. I also think about this a lot when people talk about why they believe something, and I try to see why it is so convincing to them.

- The future of robotics and AI. This one I think about a ton. That future is biology, I'm afraid, but metal-bots will always have a place.

And, like chewz said below, I also have a list of projects I can bounce back to.
It's a little weird to be defending Tesla's position here, because I think that Elon does overstate the capabilities of <whatever he's working on> and often to a needless and unhelpful degree. (It's like someone batting 0.409 and hitting 75 home runs per year claiming they're batting 0.600 and hitting 100 home runs. What he does is undeniably impressive and then he feels compelled to exaggerate it.)

That said, the selling of FSD has, to my knowledge, always been positioned as the selling of hardware that is expected to be capable in the future of FSD. Sometimes you have to read all of the words in a paragraph to get that meaning, but that is the clear reading I get from that same autopilot page:

Full Self-Driving

All new Tesla cars have the hardware needed in the future for full self-driving in almost all circumstances. The system is designed to be able to conduct short and long distance trips with no action required by the person in the driver’s seat.

The future use of these features without supervision is dependent on achieving reliability far in excess of human drivers as demonstrated by billions of miles of experience, as well as regulatory approval, which may take longer in some jurisdictions. As these self-driving capabilities are introduced, your car will be continuously upgraded through over-the-air software updates.

Bounded-Sine
Absolutely. I never understood why taking mid-day breaks and relaxing wasn't encouraged when I was a full-time employee. Coworkers even mentioned it regularly during conversations that their problems always seemed to be solved while on a walk, in the shower, etc.

When I started my own business I made it absolutely clear to the people I hired that the workday is just when you start and when you finish, but everything in between (including breaks, walks, lunch, etc.) are all part of "work". It's not like when you go to lunch you just stop thinking about the hard problem you were working on, and even if you do stop thinking about it, that's an important part of the mental digestion process.
I think https://webrtc.rs/ is our best bet for this future. I am very optimistic about it. The security/memory safety aspect of it is just so important.

So many important things are happening over WebRTC (telemedicine, remote control of dangerous machines...) I just would hate to see one of these C++ memory bugs have a negative impact.
I still think it's important that scientists be factual about the uncertainty, though. The alternative whacko theories also have uncertainty, so if we hold ourselves to that standard, we can also rationally hold them to their even greater degrees of uncertainty. When we try to pretend that a current theory is 100% certain and factual just to win an argument with idiots, it invites obvious and IMHO reasonable criticism of all of science.

Science is not a set of facts caved in stone. Science is a process; a way of thinking critically and exploring the boundaries of reality in a way that makes a best effort at getting closer and closer to the boundaries of the knowable in a rational and reasonably-objective way. It often makes missteps and corrections along the way, and we can acknowledge that openly while also contrasting it to non-science junk that isn't even on the right track.
That's really rich coming from a proponent of federal authority/power.

The alternative here was the articles of confederation or nothing and the states go their own ways as countries, not some fantasy in which the southern states torpedoed their own economies out of some love of the nation.

The constitution and the included 3/5ths compromise most certainly brought about the end of slavery much faster than taking a hard line circa 1790, or anything else that tipped the scales away from the united states forming a national identity would have.

> In other words, you're saying that even what should be fairly simple laws have been overcomplicated by our byzantine legal system

No, I’m saying that operationalizing fairly simple moral principles into forms suitable for enforcement as laws is inherently messy, and that the examples you cited of it's potential simplicity, in fact, are examples that demonstrate the very complexity you held them up as lacking.
> I think that’s moving the goalposts.

It depends on your cost model. If your cost model is with respect to n, this requirement does not move the goalposts because the solution in the article does not depend on n and k is fixed. Computing (1) the natural number corresponding to any n choose k subset or (2) the subset corresponding to any natural number n takes constant time (assuming a constant cost model for all naturals).
Maybe it’s just my bubble, but even my friends who don’t work in tech dislike amp pages for pretty much the same reason as those who work in tech. That being that greater than half the time when we click a link we didn’t want the AMP site, we wanted the actual website. The “less bloat” often times means less functional website.

It might come down to most people I know having high quality internet connections though, such that the load times aren’t as big a concern.

Off the top of my head:

- More international, I can read an equation from a french mathematician without issue

- Historical, you point out this out to an extant, but part of this is that to read papers you need to know the notation anyway.

- When reading a paper in mathematics I will often extract some equation from the text and play with it to better understand the idea on paper, again, this is easier with a more terse notation.

- Most importantly, mathematics is a different process than software engineering. Mathematicians still write more than they type, particularly on chalk boars. This is not a point to be hand waved away. Mathematics usually involves a lot of writing and playing with these symbols in notepads and on blackboards either alone or in collaboration with other mathematicians. The speed and conciseness from the symbols helps a great deal in this process. Switching to more descriptive forms in text would just end up confusing as people try to translate between symbols and text.
Definitely this. As someone born in NYC who moved away as a teen and later moved back after a year, the NYC sirens are insanely louder compared to other city sirens. I'm not sure if it's due to the density of buildings, but I think they just set the volume louder. It's incredibly annoying, affects far more people than necessary and could be handled better.

> Which countries' oil supply do you think would no longer reach them if Turkey refused to allow transit?

- Current oil and gas from the Caspian Sea Basin, from the Azeris and Iranians[0]

- Future oil and gas from the Caspian (Azeris, Khazaks) [1] [3]

- Future gas from Qatar. The project was frozen due to Syria's Russian and Iranian gas pipeline dalliances. The cynic in me says it's the reason for the Syrian war [2]

> For comparison, here are the oil details for Georgia

Georgia is indeed not important as a producer - depending on whether you count Abkhazia as still in Georgia, or in Russia as there were new discoveries of oil in Ukraine [4].

(note the date of the discovery, note the date of when troubles started in Ukraine... again, paranoid cynic in me says there's a smell to this Burisma thing).

But it IS very important as the location for the existing Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline [5].

> Still, I don't think Turkey can demand an unlimited price from NATO, and Erdogan shouldn't try to over-play his position.

I believe he shouldn't. But I believe he will.

There's been very recent vocal public discussion in his party about Greece and the danger of American bases there (i.e. they're not against Russia, so against whom are they?) and the US being a long-term trustworthy partner (see coup attempt years ago, for which it was Russia who warned Erdogan of the danger).

If Russia manages their "all-in" gamble (win in Ukraine, win at the economic/monetary game), and China extends the Belt and Road, Turks (not just Erdogan) won't hesitate to turn against NATO, attack, and at a minimum get the whole of Cyprus, if not parts of Thrace.

I believe they can allow themselves that, because as much as the Gulf is the economic brain of the elite of the Muslim world, Istambul and Ankara are the heart and center of the vascular system for middle-and low classes. They are litterally the centerpoint of logistics for that system (i.e. Turkish airlines).

It is very simple why people don’t pay for News much anymore: bias, blatant bias, and damn lies.

Used to be utilitarian to buy a printed newspaper. Sidenote: I was a Detroit Free Press delivery boy with the largest subscription in my town; 325 daily (2 hours), 982 Sundays (4.5 hours) for a grand ol’ $325/month in 1970s US dollars)

Useful things like weather, comic, local events, and classified carried the printed stories for these prints.

Today, not so much.
Sadly, many countries have moved to multiple unit trains to avoid wasted time shunting.

Motorail in the UK used to be a few carriages tagged on the back of (usually) a sleeper train. There were all kinds of issues with the time it takes to load and unload safely at either end and the option to unload en-route is largely not there.

In the UK, a lot of space beside stations was also sold off so not all stations could support this any more (I guess you could build additional stops)

I think like moving freight by train, if there was a minimum level of demand, it would be worth the investment but until you invest, you don't really know what the demand is. In the UK, probably only the longest journies would be popular for taking cars by trains since most people would rather then drive for 4-5 hours than have the hassle and expense of the train journey.
I'm not sure how this is relevant. Either the autopilot is safe to use (regardless of "iteration") or the feature shouldn't exist and should be illegal to use. If some "iteration" of autopilot is incapable of _X_ where _X_ is some safety-critical thing, then you shouldn't be allowed to use autopilot.
But that copy explicitly notes abouy the self driving features:

> It is not possible to know exactly when each element of the functionality described above will be available, as this is highly dependent on local regulatory approval.

So while you can argue that the marketing is deceptive, that can't really be read as saying that you could let the car drive itself at that time.

When the police do anything it is ultimately an exercise of raw force. They come, evict you, and change the locks. The only question is do they have legal justification for their actions that will stand up in court? Warrants, judicial sanction, etc. in advance is highly advisable. This is why we are taking your property, go hire an attorney if you disagree.
Reason is sadism, they like attention first off, and they like molesting passerby with their machine, and they like telling themselves they're superior for making all this noise.

And to vindicate, when public speaking a microphone with speakers does feel cool. So there's some innate human trait.

2. Make [crappy feature] the default, add pop-ups nudging people to use [crappy feature], constantly "forget" when users opt out of [crappy feature], limit other product benefits only to users of [crappy feature], do everything possible to sabotage users who deliberately avoid [crappy feature].

3. Product Owner: "Look, boss, the numbers from last month are in: 92% of users are using [crappy feature]. I was right!"

4. More investment into [crappy feature], since obviously users love it.
Agreed, this example looks like total shit.

I don’t see how we can transition off of fossil fuels without them becoming prohibitively expensive. Unaffordable gas is exactly what our politicians have chosen when declaring all new cars in 2030 will be electric. It is by design. Sort of silly that there’s now this pearl clutching about expensive gas. Even more absurd to see the left attack Elon who is the person doing the most to make their policies actually work. Imagine California getting rid of gas burning vehicles without Tesla. Ridiculous. And if that weren’t bad enough, with 8% and rising inflation California’s genius leader wants to send everyone (presumably even jailed convicts) gift cards to buy more gas! Can’t make this stuff up.
There are over a billion people on the continent with several countries and hundreds upon hundreds of languages.

You're gonna have a hard time assuming things about Africans as a group regardless of your stance
This is partly because California law requires special gas that not all refineries produce.
This momentum argument doesn't follow. First you calculate the momentum of the vehicle, then you compare it to an impact without describing exactly what you're comparing. However, the momentum of the vehicle will absolutely not be completely transferred to the person in an collision, and so will be not much like hitting the ground at terminal velocity.

And why are we talking about momentum anyways? A fully loaded tractor trailer weighs about 80,000 lbs (~ 36,000 kg). Therefore, a tractor trailer traveling at 5 mph (~2 m/s) has a total momentum of 72,000 kg*m/s. By your argument, all tractor trailers driving through a city are grossly negligent.
