Reminds me of the stat I heard that humans are only 70% accurate at sentiment analysis, because different people will not agree on the appropriate sentiment label. That sets a theoretical limit on the effectiveness of machine-learning algorithms, because if humans can't agree, then any product that needs to take an opinion is going to be wrong 30% of the time. (This is probably also why Big Tech companies are leaning so heavily into personalization.)

Also reminds me of when I asked a veteran therapist what the most surprising part of his job was, and it was:

I don’t know why the author laughed about Hesiod,* which, like chaosnet was another MIT protocol in use for a while.

There was a time when these records were handy — I was pretty excited when I could connect directly from my desktop machine at PARC to a host at the AI lab on the MIT chaosnet. Before the ARPANET transitioned to TCP I had to manually hop through a couple of protocol gateways to make connections like these. Afterwards it was transparent.

BTW CHAOS used strings to identify ports/protocols rather than reserved numbers. So there is a lot you can store in a compliant implementation of the DNS.

* Also the bane of some high school classes, but that’s quite another matter.

Perhaps, but it's not me you need to convince; you need to advance a popular political and/or legal argument. The legal line of arguing just got significantly harder in the US:

to privacy, which is also not mentioned.

The ECHR does enumerate a right to privacy, but with a big law enforcement caveat.

And the political argument is an extremely difficult one to make: the police must in no circumstances be able to trace transactions?

Well, yes. But protections are only useful against power if there's broad support for the process. Both policing and anti-terrorism, and the handing of vast powers to those bodies, are very politically popular.

message bus: firehose of events, (by default) no ACK. usually multi producer multi consumer. (see also DBus which is more of an RPC layer + service discovery + pub/sub via event listeners)

message queue: usually between components, ACK, but no selective ACK, backpressure, might even have support for "dead letters" (letters not ACKed by any consumer)

job queue: selective ACK, retry, etc.

(there's also the "enterprise service bus", which is similar, but mostly implemented on things like IBM MQ)

a lot of the maintenance issues come down to the buildings' age.

Your supposition runs counter to what has been documented many times by many industry publications and general purpose newspapers.

I know about ten very good architects who work on very large projects around the world. Two of whom would deserve to be called "starchitects," if they were interested in self-promotion. Wright is well-known in the professional architecture world as someone whose buildings are great when the go up, but quickly reveal their flaws once lived in and used.

The Imperial Hotel in Japan survived a massive 1923 Tokyo earthquake due to several design decisions made by Wright

One building out of over a thousand. Oak Park, Illinois has no shortage of homes that have become well-publicized money pits because of Mr. Wright's choices.

Heck, his very famous Fallingwater house is considered one of his crowning achievements, but is also a spectacular failure. He built it over a waterfall, and didn't take humidity into consideration. He built it in Pennsylvania and didn't take winter into consideration. Defects in the concrete floor designs were noted even during construction. Nothing to do with age.
I'm old enough to remember 2008 and several other recessions as well, and "feeling prepared" works exactly like that. Not all jobs are secure during a recession, but job security is relative--and often knowable. Emergency savings are something few people actually have, and can make a world of difference when times are hard.

On the other hand, there is no guarantee whatsoever that capital will be better allocated after a downturn. After all, 2008 came post-2001, and here we are post-2008, with capital as misallocated as ever!

What does "statistically" mean here? Even if unemployment jumps to double digits, which hasn't happened in the US since 1982, that means 93.6% of working people (0.9 / 0.961 to not inadvertently count people who are already unemployed) will continue being able to work. That's a near worst-case scenario that seems pretty damn statistically secure to me.

Seems like less of a problem for smart thermostats (which will likely adjust to an odd-number start time based on your actual patterns and the heating speed of your house) versus the clock-based thermostats where everyone just had set it to 6am because that was the default and it was a pain in the ass to change it.
I think you got it the other way around.

Objectivity holds such value that falsely pretending to be objective causes far more harm than being clear, honest and uncompromising with one's biases.

Isn't this the same if you have a 'dumb' thermostat set on a schedule, which is presumably what most people have anyways? Even if you have a 'really dumb' thermostat, presumably people are waking up at similar times and turning on their heaters...

I sometimes wonder if the smartest thermostat isn't actually a 'really dumb' thermostat on a timer. As in, you want it to be warm? You have to get up and set the heater to 21C/70F, this turns off after 4 hours (or when you lower it). This way if someone hit snooze, their 'smart' thermostat isn't turning on the heater at 6AM. If they usually are home at 7PM but have dinner at a neighbors house, it doesn't think they are commuting home and start turning on the AC...

There is an old engineer quote that appears a couple times in my newest book, where at 3Com the Microsoft LAN Manager alliance and OS/2 were considered "strategic," as was the Bridge acquisition:

"Strategic" means "you don't make any money."

So yeah, we were all deeply cynical about that word, because it means, all too often, the inchoate wishes that MBAs throw onto a bunch of slides.

I'm all in favor of a really well-thought "strategy," if you have one. If not, this will often suffice:

We're going to do whatever we have to do to make a ton of money.
Have you looked at Huel as an alternative to Soylent? It mostly seems to live up to its claims.
Well yes, everything emits something. Solar, wind, bananas; they all emit radiation as well. “Non-emission” is short hand for “non-emission of carbon dioxide” or perhaps more generally “greenhouse gases”.

If you’re concerned about human health, nuclear waste disposal is well studied and so are nuclear reactor safety. In fact, these small reactors are designed to be too small to create any catastrophic event in the astronomically unlikely event of a critical malfunction.

It’s odd to me that we all take planes despite the fact historically many have gone boom, and many a life has been lost. Must be something to do with no other viable alternatives…

Sorry to bother you but I am a bit confused about this part of your comment:

Can you please clarify what you mean here? Do you mean `alert("Hello, World!")` is an expression? Or do you mean it is not an expression? Or did you mistype?

Your `console.log( /* put thing here */ )` test is a pretty good one and indeed `console.log(alert("Hello, World!"))` passes this test.

In my experience, it was not nearly sufficient. If your AC is appropriately sized (or undersized) for your house, you can't just drop several degrees in 2 hours during the hottest part of the day. Going from 78 to 72 to 84 in set temp looked more like 78 to 77 to 83 in practice. Granted this was in AZ in an older house, so extremely high outdoor temps combined with marginal insulation didn't help.

If they pre-cooled the night before it might be a different story.
>Those price increases incentivize builders to increase the housing stock (which subsequently lowers prices).

This is not reality though. Here in the UK our housing is in major crisis because people simply cannot afford the insane price increases. Pretty much everyone I know shares their living situation, on their own they would not be able to afford basic amenities.

The guardian today published an article showing:

>Average monthly rental payments were now 40% higher than they were 10 years ago, while typical mortgage payments for the same properties were up 13%.

Landlords and property owners are hiking the prices way beyond reasonable value, in some parts of the country rent is up by over 20% in the last year alone. By your logic there should be an incentive for builders to increase the housing stock, but private enterprise aren't building anymore homes now than they were 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 years ago.

We do however have a situation where the average mortgage is about £900 per month, whereas the average rent has skyrocketed to £1600 per month (£1100 outside of London, £2200 in London). Available rental stock is down 25%, with demand up 5%. It's great for property speculators, buy-to-let landlords and property developers, people are offering above asking prices simply to secure a home.

>My landlord takes all the risk of owning the property (prices don’t always go up after all).

Sure there is risk, but when you charge 30% more than you repay for the mortgage, while at the same time property prices rise 75% in 10 years, it's safe to say that the cash cow is being thoroughly milked for every last drop and as a result many people are suffering.

Ultimately there shouldn't be 'risk', this mindset is a big problem. Homes are a fundamental, basic human need. Using them as an investment method, business model or means to hedge against inflation, is causing rampant speculation and quite honestly extorting people that have no other choice, exploiting vulnerable families that need a home. It should be an extremely tightly controlled market, with sufficient funding to ensure that quality & affordable housing is available for everyone.
Easy version of this is a FIDO2 hardware key.
Every house is already a battery, with significant thermal mass. Unfortunately, this means that the is not real-time but forward-looking: The thermostat needs to predict when load and price will peak a few hours early, and turn the AC on before that happens. If you cool the house down lower than necessary in the morning, it will warm up through a high-load afternoon, but stay comfortable, spreading the load and reducing usage during that price peak.

Of course, if everyone does this on every morning when the national weather service predicts high temperatures, you've just moved the demand forward a few hours and not actually spread it out.
