> there is no energy personally spent by the driver to stop and start their car

Funny, in a way. An old ... acquaintance used a corollary of this back in the 90's. Because he drove a truck, stopping it and then getting it moving again took considerable amount of energy. Much more than what a pedestrian would require.

As such, he considered himself having the drive of way over pedestrians and the heavier the vehicle he was driving, the better the reason he had to run the lights. And if necessary, over pedestrians.

Yes, he was an arse.
I'm pretty pro nuclear energy, but it's pretty obvious why. Fukushima is still in recent memory. Proliferation concerns are pretty close to the forefront vis-a-vis Iran and North Korea. Solar and wind are quickly getting less expensive, and nuclear is (albeit slowly) becoming more expensive. This is all convincing many people that it just isn't worth the trouble.

I don't think those people are correct, but I do acknowledge that pro-nuclear folks have a bit of an uphill climb convincing them.

I don't expect the US to hit that ambitious 2030 target. But you may not realize how fast the American generation mix has been changing recently. In 2015 coal supplied 33% of American electricity generation and renewables supplied 13%:

https://web.archive.org/web/20170328200331/https://www.eia.g...

Coal supplied 21.8% of US electricity generation in 2021 and renewables supplied 20.1%:

https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=427

Coal is the fastest-shrinking electrical power source in the US:

"Coal will account for 85% of U.S. electric generating capacity retirements in 2022"

https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=50838

Solar and wind are the fastest-growing sources:

https://www.eia.gov/outlooks/steo/

The largest increases in U.S. electricity generation in our forecast come from renewable energy sources, mostly solar and wind. We expect renewable sources will provide 22% of U.S. generation in 2022 and 24% in 2023, up from 20% in 2021.

> The same way K8s does... it doesn't. K8s management nodes just stop scheduling anything until the worker nodes are back

This is not entirely accurate. K8s makes it possible to structure your cluster in such a way that it can tolerate certain kinds of network partitions. In particular, as long as:

* there is a majority of etcd nodes that can talk to each other

* there is at least one instance of each of the other important daemons (e.g. the scheduler) that can talk to the etcd quorum

then the control plane can keep running. So the cluster administrator can control the level of fault-tolerance by deciding how many instances of those services to run, and where. For instance, if you put 3 etcd's and 2 schedulers in different racks, then the cluster can continue scheduling new pods even if an entire rack goes down.

If you assign the responsibility for your cluster to a single "parent" node, you're inherently introducing a point of failure at that node. To avoid that point of failure, you have to offload the state to a replicated data store -- which is exactly what K8s does, and which leads to many of the other design decisions that people call "complicated".

The comment in question is (I believe) referring specifically to how things are in the Netherlands, where my understanding is that long commutes are much less common than they are in the United States, and many more people cycle as well as drive.

Is it actually true that "[motor] vehicles are actively punished for not indicating, cyclists are not"? So far as I can tell, it's extremely rare for anyone to be punished for not indicating. (Which is probably the Right Thing; the police surely have better things to spend their time on than watching for drivers or cyclists who fail to indicate.)
Could be, that that's unrelated to IPv6, so a totally different issue.

Yeah, that's true enough.

I guess the point I was trying to make is that I think IPv6 is a better solution to their problem of not having enough IPv4 addresses.

The index of an array is an integer, and integer values start at zero, so it seems like an obvious choice as to where the starting point should be. It's only outside of computer science that it seems to be counter-intuitive.
In the C programming language unsigned integers do not overflow. They wrap. This is well-defined behaviour and the example code is simply incorrect. Most modern compilers will give you a diagnostic for this.
Early programmers were mostly mathematicians and physicists, so the notation borrowed a lot from their fields, where it's common to index sequences with arbitrary numbers. And it's not particularly complicated to implement either.
This is really about causality and science. But searching the comments, there are only 3 comments contain key word "causal" so far, only one comment contains "science".

In my view, folks who totally disregard science are no more truly intelligent than say 2500 years ago when people believe that "the natural state of an object is to be at rest" (check Wikipedia page for Aristotle).
I regret paying my loans off as quickly as I could. Should have just made the minimum payments and waited for my bailout.

Where does personal responsibly even start anymore? I would like retroactive payment to the tune of $10,000. I delayed buying a house, or a new car, and several other indulge items; so I could be debt free.

Nothing about this is for people. Its deeply political and fails to address any of the actual issues with higher education in the US.

A while ago I worked in retail while going to school. One of my coworkers purposely stayed below the poverty level so she could receive free government support. She also only had another 8 years before her loans would be forgive at the 20 year mark by maintaining a lower income. During the part of the year she wasn't working she would backpack around India on money she saved.

my thought is just "why not"?

0 is a number, and just because the west ignored it for quite some time (read: "Zero: The Biography of a Dangerous Idea") we have these odd built-in aversions to it but in the end it makes plenty of sense.

0th element is 0, so why don't we just do a better job of educating kids to start counting with 0 and thinking about 0.

in the end - as a CS person, i think it's good - but i also don't mind if you disagree with me. :)

Yes, that’s right. But because it’s behavioural data for targeting ads, most of it ages-out within 90 days, so it’s a lot more like a product on a supermarket shelf than a “dossier”. Most people aren’t familiar with how ad tech works and so when the first thing they encounter is a gross misrepresentation of what happens then we get knee jerk responses to that instead of a more nuanced reflection on the details.
> As an American I'm ashamed that my government has done things like this

Have you voted against all of your elected representatives that authorized it?

The only way things like this will change is if the people force them to change by making it clear to politicians that they will not be elected or re-elected if they support them.
In English, the day of your birth, when you're 0, is also your birthday. So, technically speaking, when you're turning 29, you're having your 30th birthday, even though no-one says it like that. I always assumed 0-based indexing was something like that, similar to the example given about the ground floor being the 0th floor in some countries and the first floor in others.

Another example is if I'm getting directions from someone, and they say, "Walk 3 blocks that way", in my mind I conceptualize that I'm presently on the 0th block and I don't yet count it.

I don't think every day people disagree with these examples so much (well, maybe the birthday one, but that's because we use the same word for the literal day as well as anniversary), and they're all fairly intuitive. I never realized that 0-based indexing required such a deep background to be justified.
And then, there's the imperial system.

Seriously though, while the idiom does work for unsigned integers, it's a bad idiom to learn [makes code reviews harder]. The post-decrement one in the loop body works with everything (signed/unsigned), and it's well known.

I like cargo better than any c++ tooling but those tools don't really make a ton of sense for c++ where every platform has a different compiler.

Ultimately, I agree. I don't think I'll be going back to c++ any time soon, but for me it's more about the tooling fragmentation than the tooling itself. I actually like the language itself.

> No one is asking for "handouts". People are asking for a society in which exposure to good ideas, and guidance on how to determine which ideas are good at all, isn't reserved for people with stuffed bank accounts or rich parents. And that's just common sense for anyone with any empathy or hope for the future of the species.

The greatest scam perpetrated on Americans is the idea that "college education" is necessary to succeed. This scam has been so successful that several generations of people are now required, by companies, to go into debt for a piece of paper in order to pass HR filters. Moreover, people ARE asking for handouts. College students have been begging for loan forgiveness for a decade. It is quite literally a handout. Admittedly I am quite upset because I sacrificed years of my life and potential income to do the responsible thing and pay off my loans. This is the ultimate slight at me, and everyone like me, because with this $10k-$20k there is no punishment. There is no reduced credit score to rubble for 10 years, there is no "you cant return to school for 10 years if you take this". It is quite literally, by definition, another example of helicopter money to people who made a choice and now don't even have to live with it. People who decided to never pay off their loans, the approximately 50% of students with debt less than $20k, are now going to be relieved of this debt with _zero punishment_ for being so foolish. There is no debt relief system in any country on this planet as crazy as this.

This is not the approach we need, and it doesn't solve the fundamental problem. I have done almost 12 years in the university system. There is not a single skill I have learned applicable to any job I've held in the last decade. It's simply credentialing on par with what a professional certification would've been 20 years ago. We aren't subsidizing journeymen, etc for their education. We shouldn't subsidize university students either. Further, you can argue this simply benefits the rich. Now the companies that underwrote toxic debt get a payday on money that may not have come otherwise. Arguably, this could be considered on-par with the great financial collapse and the bailouts of banks.

We should not punish the people who chose not to go to college in order to "help" the people who chose to go into absurd levels of debt for a credential. Fix the system that is convincing people that this is the only way. Make bankruptcy possible and punish the companies for underwriting bad debt. 300B dollars is a lot of money to look to stylish.

There has been a series of pop concerts of late featuring holograms sometimes of deceased members, notably the group TLC who toured with a hologram of the late Lisa 'Left eye' Lopes who had died in a car crash a decade before. Some kind of legal precedent must have been set in order to permit that to happen. In this case, it looks like whoever holds the rights to the original performances from which the holograms were generated is the owner.

It would be a different matter, as you outlined above, if one created a digital facsimile of a person and used it to perform in ways that the original person did not. Does a person own their own persona?
Updates that Apple, or anyone (Microsoft etc) pushes to customers has been internally tested for a while on different rings of risk. People who write the code run it relentlessly to start to catch all the issues and then start pushing out updates to varying pools of people who can take those small bits of risk of a bug here or there, and poke holes in it. Once it reaches the company's QC metrics it is pushed outside. Pushing out bad updates ruins your credibility, companies are incentivized not to do so. Updating your computing devices as soon as public updates are made is vital to your own security/safety.

I don't believe I've been an over-the-top Rust advocate so far. But I use Rust, I like it so far, and I want to use it more. For me to be able to use it more, it would help if it had the good attributes of a popular language, including a broad ecosystem of libraries and relative ease of hiring developers. So I want Rust to be a popular language. That means winning at the short game. Maybe other Rust advocates have a similar motivation to mine.

Americans are afforded due process rights under the Constitution. I'm not saying he wasn't a bad guy, he clearly was.

That analogy of Columbus and the old world conquering due to technological superiority isn't the reason that they were able to colonize and subdue the new world. Diseases and plagues were the reason. 90% of the native peoples where wiped out by the diseases and plagues that were inadvertently carried here. It was not a case of deliberate biological warfare but an accident that allowed for such complete colonization.

Had the new world contain diseases and plagues for which old worlders had not developed resistance to or ways of dealing with then there might have been a completely different outcome. As plagues would have traveled back across the Atlantic resulting in Black plague levels of death.
I'd argue it's susceptible to 51% attack already, but as BTC's value grows, the profitability from pulling off a 51% grows as well. Therefore, the hashrate not scaling with the market cap of BTC makes the prospect of funding a 51% attack more and more appealing.
Sorry, I cannot agree with you. OSI came up with the term "open source," hence I will use it as it is conventionally used, ie via their definition. If you want to literally interpret that, feel free to do so but know that others, such as those commenting on your thread, will not agree with you.

The due process afforded in the constitution. With, you know, trials and juries and such.

> A little different, but imagine if an American decided to go fight for Germany during WWII. Should he receive any special consideration above what native-born German soldiers got, before Americans start shooting towards him?

I would say that an operation specifically to assassinate that person without a trial should be viewed as unconstitutional.
