If five people in my immediate presence experienced such peril then watched me sacrifice my life savings to save their lives, I would expect their testimonies of admiration and relationships backed by a life-debt would end up being an asset of equal or greater value than a tremendous lot of liquid cash. I won't lie; I want to be whole-heartedly adored by them, even more than I want the rich man's $500,000 bribe.
Thank you!
We are still in the "back up" stage, because some platforms are at risk of closing down too, now that the new chief executive is in power.

Yes, e.g. https://data.emissieregistratie.nl/emissies/grafiek?s=uiJzcg...

I can't open your first link, the second one is not about emissions but about depositions. Although I agree that depositions are the far more important number, there is a catch: there are no regular measurements of nitrogen depositions in NL, all numbers are estimates based on a model that has only emissions as input.
After a lot of criticism about that, the RIVM has started to take deposit samples near 2 farms in 2020, hoping to be able to refine their models with the results. The results of those samples are not used in their famous nitrogen map yet, and anyway since they only measure near farms and not near industry, they won't tell much about NOx deposition.
As if the company-wide engagement focus doesn't come from the very top.
Where exactly?

I don't see it either. Perf data that shows that was the issue.
I am not sure how you extrapolate me being against people driving from me being against people speeding. You can drive very well without speeding.

Tracking is a different issue sure, but there is nothing in this problem that relies on tracking. You need to read the current map data and the position of the car via GPS. You need to write nothing (and given the privacy laws in Europe, I don't really see why we would).
Another reason why not everyone should use the cloud. Sure, the cloud can be as secure as on-prem or even safer in many cases. But it's just so easy to keep on-prem data safe by just not connecting it to the outside world. If no server can be accessed from anywhere but the premise, leaks like these just can't happen. A key won't help you unless you can break into the police building.

Access just based on credentials seems so wrong anyway. There should always be whitelisted IPs for sensitive stuff like that.
> It's not that unrealistic.

It's unrealistic because the trolley problem is basically a torture apparatus that you're instructed to operate for unknown reasons. Our decision to pull levers or not, means nothing in the context of why the situation exists in the first place, and why you have the job of executioner.

We have time to think and weigh things up in regards to pulling the lever. But in the driving scenario, a split-second decision is needed. Muscle memory and reflexes come into play. Everyone will apply the brakes anyway. There is no "do nothing" option in the driving scenario.
>No one likes public transport

I have a anecdatum of one, that being myself, that I like public transport. Just, the US public transport is god awful and you may be thinking of the US style of public transport, or the lack thereof, and thus come to that conclusion. Which, fair enough. Just not representative of the wider world.
The problems would likely not be around the hash length but that the hashes need to be recomputed for a very large amount of data AND that they change from what they were previously (ie clients would have to know to look for a different hash)

"interoperable with third-party services" does not mean "change default app".
I guess I may have misinterpreted this as a choice between forcing the passengers to go around in circles for literally eternity versus dying immediately. Figured that it'd get awful boring after the trillionth or so revolution, especially if there were no other options. At some point, I imagine the passengers would be begging for the sweet release of death and I didn't want to condemn anyone to that fate.
>People will have different opinions about privacy when their wives asks them why their business trip to another city showed up as a hotel night 500 meters away from home on the government database.

Had a good chuckle. But then it got me thinking about other situations in which government-leak-induced friction that might lead to cause for legal action. The government demands and collates data presumably supported by legal under-pinnings that citizens must comply with. When these are leaked, shouldn't the government bear legal, fiduciary, etc. responsibility?

With great data, comes great responsibility, no?
They'd probably just buy it to have it. That much data about foreign citizens can be valuable in many ways, from immigration to foreign intelligence.
>A trolley is heading towards 5 people who tied themselves to the track.

My reading of this was that they were suicidal. If people want to kill themselves, that's not for me to decide if that's right, or wrong. But if i can save one person from misfortune, atleast i was ablee to do that.

>70% would rather send a trolley into the future to kill 5 people 100 years from now, instead of 5 people now.

Would you rather have $5 now, or $5 in the future? Humans are compounding, i'd rather pay you in the future when there is more abundance.
> That is definitely true, at least if you're not in the rightmost lane of traffic sandwiched between semis and box trucks. 75-80 MPH in 70 MPH zones is common, and it's not unusual to see people driving 85+ MPH.

As an observation I'd agree. However, my impression of the parent commenter was that they implied that 5-10mph over the speed limit is the correct way to drive. Were that true, why wouldn't we just set the limit anyways? How did that limit get chosen?

Again, this goes back to the 85th percentile - the ways in which we decide how fast to go on a road or street are wrong. Of course, there's two things going on in this thread:

- Using tech to warn / limit drivers from being able to speed over an agreed upon limit.

- Engineering our roads so that the intended speed matches the prevailing speed of traffic.

Now I'm more in the second camp on this one than the first, I'll admit, but I don't think that we should just sit by and accept "some people speed, therefore we should all go faster" as a given. I have definitely witnessed people going 85+ MPH, especially if you're on an interstate far away from any city. However, this is not the norm and not really where the tech in TFA is going to be deployed.

Either way, the issue I take is with moralizing going faster than the speed limit. You might say it's the flow of traffic, but that just smells like justifying something that most drivers already want to do (go faster), instead of understanding the action (speeding) and its effect on the environment around us (increased danger, increased fuel consumption, increased noise pollution, etc).
I voted to send the trolley into the future, because everything else being equal (5 lives and 5 lives), it gives us 100 years to try and plan for the event.
I can drive stupid fast on the Autobahn and still be fairly safe, but it burns fuel at an alarming rate.

A few years ago, they considered a speed limit not for safety, but for the environment.

Another thing is that a modern car is not much safer in adverse conditions. When it snows or rains, things get dicey.
That's one argument. Another argument is that a bioweapon containing Moderna-patented characteristics was released on the world, together with a pre designed vaccine to profit from it, as a Western attack on on Western Supply chains by complicit pharmaceutical corporations, governments and other cartel members, to undertake the largest wealth transfer in human history. I think the data backs this better.
The Equifax breach also didn't cause riots in the US. I don't see how that's different here.
Eh, I decided not to blow them up because the notion of perfect knowledge is foolish. Those folks have an eternity to figure out how to stop the trolley or jump out. They'll manage.

Also: I'm not going to presume that I have the right to take such an important choice away from them. If they tell me to pull the lever I will, but not before.
The worse thing is that car going according to a speed limit like 40-50km/h still can seriously injure or worse a pedestrian especially a child or elderly. Limiting the speed is one thing but adjusting road infrastructure in the cities to make it safer for pedestrians is a second thing-how many crosswalks I've seen that are barely visible- I don't even count. Surely everyone seen a local newspaper article at some point of pedestrian being killed but the driver was sober and wasn't speeding.

I'm planning to look into https://www.storj.io/pricing (150GB free if I understand this correctly) for my own backup needs. You could theoretically host your own node somewhere on a cheap VPS, get credits and pay for your own storage? Not sure - I myself have to do some research.

Then you'd need a fronend capable mounting Storj and they seem to have pretty good documentation.

It's a false comparison in my opinion, but I do get your idea.

With your scenario, there are two elements to consider:

1. Bystander Effect, i.e., someone else can help in this situation so I don't have to

2. People likely reason that Guineans still have some agency to try to subsist, so the threat is not as immediate

Compared to the Trolley problem proposed, there is a decision to be made _now_ that only you have control over and there will be an immediate effect in that people's lives will be saved in a situation where they have no option to help themselves or even get by at a bare minimum.

Ignoring the "I'm absolutely broke so who cares?" people (which while a fair point I think isn't quite the spirit of the scenario, which is will you sacrifice items of significance to you for the lives of others), I think that your scenario has too much distance and layers of abstraction as to how the money helps. Fundamentally, if we can't actually understand specifically what the charities do to save a life in Guinea, so it's harder for people to accept that the decision has any significant impact.

So I don't see any real inconsistency between your scenario and the trolley one. People aren't as accepting of the premise that the charitable donation immediately saves a life and count on the help of others whereas pulling the lever immediately has an observable effect.

This is the laziest argument I've seen from Smith in quite a while, and I've unfortunately listened to a lot of his rants.

Arguing that sleep is an irrational need is worse than misdirected, its exactly opposite to the truth. We don't know the mechanism behind sleep but we are keenly aware that there is a strong correlation between good sleep habits and better health. The correlation is observed and keenly accounted for in science AND pop science.

The correlation is not causation mantra is true but that doesn't magically mean that we don't care about correlation.

The argument of 'correlation does not equal causation' ONLY matters when its relevant. E.g. you misattribute a cause.

He aaaaaaalmost notices this with his cigarette company argument bit then again completely misunderstands the idiom to mean that skepticism is always good and not just a tool in the scenario where you have limited information and its appropriate.

The fact that the cigarette companies were skeptical about the correlation is not scientific in a vacuum of this article either. It was a vested interest that they took the preferable stance for their company. Science cares about vested interests, and correlation.

I'm all for calling out shoddy scientific reporting but this is arguably worse because it acts like its above the idioms and conflation, when it isn't. Its tragically bad.

You can also check statistics like number of page faults, data/instruction cache misses with a profiler. Usually (at least for me), looking at the execution trace, CPU statistics, understanding the code and input are enough for optimization. I think profilers can only help you to focus on certain hot spots of your program, and provide hints to things that are most expensive. You still have to make some educated guess.

I think dumping the raw memory is usually used for debugging (postmortem?) rather than to optimize for performance.
Ah, yep, good one, definitely see a danger there.

> Humans are compounding

I had the same thought, but this isn't necessarily true.

With money, it's true by design. Interest rates, inflation and money expansion are core components of the economy.

However, with humans it all depends on the fertility rate, and it's currently dropping. So in this scenario, there's a lot we don't know about the future.

I sent the trolley into the future because, all else being equal, at least it gives us 100 years to plan for the event.
The air is dry in California so it has a huge capacity to absorb moisture from transpiration or evaporation. The prevailing winds will carry the water hundreds of miles or more before it precipitates. They water crops year round, but there is almost no rain in the dry season, so that water is definitely going somewhere else.

The other thing is photosynthesis. The oxygen is released into the air, and the retained hydrogen only accounts for 11% of the mass (although if you assume the O was replaced with ~1 C, then it's 77%). This often becomes part of the crop that's shipped off, but even if it sticks around to combust or decompose, the vapor can still blow away.

Monero would allow donations to be anonymous, so even if all things go south, it should be only my payment to VPS/hosting that would be leaked.

Well, cool. Speeding is the main source of accidents. Even escooters know where they are and reduce the maximum speed in some zones. Nobody ever was killed with an escooter. Why can't we restrict cars to the speed they are supposed to drive? It would make driving so much easier!

I started learning HTML in 1995 and first wrote it professionally in 1997. (I was sixteen and got to design a mid-size software company's intranet on my first summer job in the business. It was easy to get into the industry then with any modest web skills.)

This article is missing two important ways to learn HTML back in the day:

1) Read the source. Websites were simple. There was no JavaScript or CSS. Everything was right there in one file. If you saw a site you liked, just take a copy of the source and tweak it locally to understand how it works.

2) GUI tools. There was Frontpage and HoTMetaL and some others. These were actually pretty decent because there wasn't so much you could do with HTML. You could drag'n'drop your content, then clean up manually if you wanted.

Here's a live example of a 1995 website:
http://www.os2ezine.com/v1n1/

Look at the source. It's easy to understand the basics of HTML just by comparing the source and output. Deeply nested divs and tables were not a thing yet.
Huh I never thought of that possibility.. I did think of the possibility that earth would be totally obliterated or no human population but not the possibility of only 5 to 50 or so people..
IDs vs base language string as ID is a common debate. I opted for translation IDs since Mozilla's Fluent (https://projectfluent.org/) uses translation IDs. I can't find their list of reasons. I do remember having problems myself by changing the base language string and thereby losing the connection to all translations.

The argument against IDs is the reduced readability. Something that can be solved with the IDE extension.

Speed bumps alone don't help, that is right. You also need to have raised pedestrian crossings, you need to reduce lane width (maybe even so narrow that you have to yield when a car is coming from the other direction), the street needs to not be straight, etc. The space you get from that can be used for trees, bicycle paths, broader sidewalks and such niceties.

If all of this is there you can't just ride 50 km/h through there because it just feels wrong. Of course this is an example where we go from a limit of 50 to a limit of 30, but similar ideas exist for going from 70 to 50 etc.
Unfortunately that restricts your platforms a lot, and even for the platforms that this reasonably works for, requires a lot of porting and testing effort (or you need to settle for a single narrow target platform).

The orders come from humans and the machine is informing you that you are breaking the law.
I was surprised about that one as well.
Here is another assumption: Speeding up the train might reduce their chance of being saved by a third party. So by speeding up the trolley you might make it less painful, but also might rob them of the chance of being saved.
I know this is just a thought experiment, but there are a million variables to a scenario like this and just adjusting for the first one you see is a slippery slope.
> So just because you can remove screws more easily you build better shelves?

Yes, with a high probability. Try to put all your screwdrivers away and then try to build a shelf without them. Not only will you need lots of time just for fastening the parts that you cannot spend on thinking on a more optimal layout of the shelf, making the result worse -- you will also judge every layout idea on how hard it will be to build without a screwdriver, instead of judging it on whether it is useful as part of the final shelf.

> You can build bad apps with good tools and good apps with bad tools.

This is a (probably unintentional) strawman. The argument was that tools make the task substantially easier and therefore improve the quality of the end result, not that they make it possible at all.

> Just because it gets easier for the web dev doesn't makes it easier for the user and vice versa.

Again, the argument was that tools make it easier to build a good product, not that tools themselves guarantee a good product. Of course with good tools you can build a bad product, and you can even build it easier than without good tools.

Why Zig would make race conditions less likely?
You find a free (or dirt cheap) CGI-BIN web hoster and FTP your programs there. Files for your message board or site counter are saved in the /CGI-BIN/ directory too. You upload new files to run arbitrary commands and use those commands to walk around the system that you otherwise have no access to. You discover another customer on the same shared host who is selling real estate in Alabama. You consider it strange that all the users have the same group ID, and so can access each other's files. Later on you learn about suEXEC and get some cash to help somebody configure their web server. Two decades later you're doing basically the same job and wonder why it feels so much more difficult now.
