Software development is expensive, and selling a product needs frequent support and updates, which is also expensive. The best working model is buying a product with one-year long support, and you own the product forever. I bought Camtasia in 2018 and while their updates were not frequent and it stopped right after the next version. Still, I can use it forever. Fortunately, there are always open-source alternatives for tech needs, even if it's less friendly or bundled with issues and bugs.
Oh, I see. Well, I don’t use Chrome or Android, so I’ll look at BitWarden.
For some managers I worked with in the past, this was an impossible task. One person took over a year to set up their development environment. He never even ran the application. Though you don't have to actually code, there is a ton of value in knowing what the people you manage are actually working on.
A simple comment on the situation is a great ice breaker.

After that, the simplest trick is to ask questions that get them talking about themselves. Most people are more than happy to talk about something they're familiar with, so asking something that only they can answer ("So who do you know here?", "What do you do for a living?", "What are some of your hobbies?") will get the conversation flowing.
I’m hoping that by excluding the human labor costs I will save some money, but we will see. It would also be nice to not have to have that awkward taxi conversation every time I go to the store.
If the technology was actually safer on average, your question would still be legitimate, it’s a question for society to decide what future we want.

The fact is, being a pedestrian has become far more dangerous now due to texting and large SUVs, always be vigilant.
"... I am sure Wolf is accurate to the MRIs when she says that the shift to digital has made skimming the new norm. Scrolling and swiping have increased our ability to survey large amounts of information, but they do not engage those areas of the reading brain where we imagine and are moved by the lives of others. We have, in neurological terms, an app for that and it is no longer being switched on."

Ouch. Right between the eyes. Lately I've been mournfully surveying my bookshelves and realizing how much my reading has shifted away from whole books. In trying to get back to it, I feel like in some ways I'm learning to read all over again.
He says:

> Just as students were taught to systematically memorize and copy in their other classes, they need to be given a systematic formula by which to approach problem-solving.

When I read that, I wondered what Maria Montessori would think. The line opens with the notion of systematic memorization - copy and paste; my sense is that the lecture (memorize) and test approach to factory education is coming to be regarded as a dinosaur; the meteor has landed; we are seeing a renaissance in thinking about the education process.

I once got in trouble with the teacher's union steward at my kids' school when I said "there is no such thing as teaching, only learning and learning facilitation". The memorize and copy approach came to be known as the "just in case" epistemology. Nancy Glock Grueneich said that the proper epistemology is "just for me".

From that, while I'm not criticizing the linked piece- in fact, I'm thrilled that CS is being taught in high school - my take is that there might be a way to facilitate personal discovery of the "systematic formula" being given.

I'd also have the car go do things for my convenience that I would otherwise be unwilling to do because of the traffic. The car doesn't care about stop-n-go, so I can send it any time. It'll get there eventually.
Is there something governments can do to make their citizens talk to strangers more often?

Society seems to be going in the opposite direction (e.g. self-checkouts at supermarkets, government services being available over the internet, online shops, online gaming, etc.)

AFAIK the lack of viewer developers is the main reason why opensimulator has stalled. Even the server is supported by very few developers who still contribute, incuding Ubit. The project seems to suffer from high drama for decades.

In any specific jurisdiction? Highly unlikely. There are only 3.3k billionaires globally. For those specific crimes? Even less likely.

My guess (but numbers hard to come by, to my point), is there have only been a handful of billionaires arrested for anything, even in most states. Ever.

There are several orders of magnitude difference between billionaires and multi millionaires. They aren’t even on the same page.
Right, in fact I’m not sure why the new law is even causing this. The interpretation of the labeling law which now includes sesame is that it only applies to intentional ingredients. As far as that’s concerned, no label at all is fine.

Separately, the good manufacturing practices rules say that cross contact risks should be limited. But the FDA mentions there may be some cases where this is impractical and a may contain label “might” be acceptable. They don’t say what those are, and they don’t explicitly require a label either, because that is not a labeling law.

So consumers can’t really be sure if cross contact is a risk or not.
And the kicker: It is open source.
how do you get started with "smart contracts"? all the "tutorials" always end creating your own crypto and that's it....

or a smart contract to validate a sale of a house for 2 BTC.

This is provably wrong for Waymo. It may be geo-fenced, but it's robotaxi service is unlimited in SF and Phoenix.

> The scope of what Tesla is doing is vastly larger, more future proof, more reliable, and much more difficult to achieve.

If it's more reliable, then getting the license from CA should be a breeze. The required reporting and publication of disengagement metrics seem to be giving Tesla cold feet, I wonder why

> Additionally, Tesla's model right now is to have a driver in the seat.

Great! So they should appropriately name it as a driver assistance technology.
> Twitter users for $30,000. The data included publicly available information like Twitter IDs, names, login names, locations, and verified status, as well as private information like email addresses and phone numbers.

Regardless of this data breach, phone number login / verification or SMS 2FA is an absolutely stupid idea. I have said this before [0] and it appears that with the resurfacing of this old data breach, it turns out that it exposes users to even more SS7 attacks and SIM swapping attacks.

In general, anything that violates the user's privacy from Twitter to TikTok especially a breach of user data should be fined by the regulators on the basis of the total number of users signed up. Hundreds of millions of dollars in fines for Twitter and for larger networks; it should be a fine in the billions of dollars.

Sure, that's the beauty of democracy though. Everyone gets an equal say. Seems like not enough of the voting population agrees with you and as such no new houses are built. America is a huge country though, plenty of very affordable housing elsewhere. Everyone doesn't get to just have what they want where they want it though, that's capitalism for you.
That said, every PR receives a bot comment indicating that the GH repo is a mirror and the user needs to submit a patch to LKML. And yet there are currently 312 open PRs on the repo. I've always wondered how people manage to know enough about the kernel to be able to contribute a PR to it, yet don't know the GH repo is a mirror and seemingly ignore the bot response and leave their PR opened.
In any case, godspeed to all of us!
Average earnings (after expenses) of a ride share driver is very roughly $10/hour. If you assume a self-driving car can get 2000 hours of use a year (which seems reasonably conservative), then the self-driving car saves $20k in labor costs per year. Although self-driving tech will be expensive in the beginning, the price will likely at some point decline to be far below $20k/year.

Labor is about half of the cost of a hired ride. We know this is true for Uber because there is a lot of public discussion about the budget of a rideshare driver. Not sure about taxis.

Given those premises and assumptions, a person who doesn’t want to drive would care about self-driving tech because it could eventually lower the cost of hiring a ride, potentially by 50%.
Wikipedia is sometimes enough to implement an algorithm. I implemented multiversion concurrency control and btrees due to Wikipedia which do not have pseudocode. If you can implement an algorithm from an English description that is really useful. It relies on the algorithm being well explained.

I also suggest trying to implement a btree, they're really useful data structures for data retrieval and many database products use them extensively for indexes.

With any algorithm, I think there is a critical insight (that might be different for each person) where the algorithm clicks.

I didn't understand mergesort properly until I worked on implementing it but I understood quicksort. When the underlying mental model of the problem being solved becomes clear, we can reason about the algorithm and write code to implement what we want to do.
Being "pretty clear" in the fine print doesn't help when your product is called "Full Self Driving".

So self-hosting is so easy and problem free, everyone is making up fiction about the problems, and yet in your very first "solution" you tell people to not self-host outbound email at all and to pay money to a third party to solve a lot of the hard parts for you?

> 1) The primary issue brought up is deliverability. If you don't have a static IP, or you don't have control over your reverse DNS PTR, or the reputation of your IP is poor, then pay a company to smarthost your outgoing mail through them. It's a few $ a month, and poof! Problem solved.

By that "logic" self-hosting is easy because I could have a third party handle outbound AND inbound mail, which is essentially standard mail hosting with a custom domain.

Plus you cannot just turn-key create a high reputation, you start out with low and your emails will be dropped into spam.
The solution to this is to add a supplemental tax on foods intentionally containing major allergens, that is cumulative per allergen, sufficient to offset the benefit sought by adding it as malicious compliance with labelling and cross-contamination laws.

So the last sentence contradicts his whole ramble before, nice.
It creates the effect of real time computation and conversation. It’s kind of like the page turning animation that Apple used to have on iBooks, it was magical for no reason other than to delight.
The biggest difference between Lyft/Uber and dispatch taxis isn’t the automation it’s the customer service!

Previously customer service was non-existent. If a taxi didn’t show up, we just got screwed. There wasn’t even anyone to call for the issue. On the apps I instantly get a credit to help ease the burden and the driver has their rating reduced.

For many reasons customer service is very expensive and it’s not yet automated. That’s one big additional variable to keep in mind.
Ah not yet. I'm a little shy to do that still. But I definitely want to try it!
So.. what tech do normal, above ground trains use?
> This argument does not make sense: if you fork GCC or LLVM and change the language frontend for C, the thing you are parsing is no longer standard C.

It doesn't make sense to you, certainly.

To the type of person who've used a dozen different C compilers, all of them containing extensions to the language, and all of them still advertised as "C compilers", the argument makes perfect sense.

I mean, the input to the GCC C compiler is, by default, C with extensions, and yet even you still called it a C frontend, not a "SomeOtherLanguage" frontend.

You may not agree that the argument is valid or sound, but you can't with a straight face say that it is an unreasonable position to take.
> Driving is not safe

This only appears true because we've made our entire world so safe that we can call one fatality every 100 million miles dangerous. Given everything we use cars for and the immense utility of them, being driven almost exclusively by amateurs ... cars are remarkably safe.

And if you could find a way to reliably remove the 1% that cause most of the problems, it would be even safer.

When the Q adjacent views and white supremacy ideas are gaining popularity and nobody on the same side of the aisle with the Q people and white supremacists are saying "hey that stuff isn't right, we don't agree or believe that" I think it's safe to assume that they're saying "hey we are actually okay with Q believers and white supremacists"

I think the only solution is to write each person an email or letter telling them that you don't want material items from them for christmas, what you want is their commitment to spend time with you, or if not that then a donation to a specific charity. You can ask the person to reciprocate, and if they don't confirm then you'll assume they want material gifts.

I think something like this would be better on a decentralized keybase where you can set personal public policies like gift acceptance.

>cities will take direct control of traffic in a central way...with car owners losing control to pick the shortest route in order to be allowed to use the roads in the city

I can't see that happening in the United States.

Even if it was net-positive for society.

After my daughter was born her mother and her were put in a labor and delivery VIP room which was also an infectious disease room. I didn't know using infectious disease rooms as VIP rooms was an industry standard practice until reading this.

At this hospital the room was mostly used by members of the royal families of Middle Eastern countries. They like to have their children born in the US so they have US citizenship. Makes it easier to flee on short notice if needed.

Food prices tend to correlate with gas, because of the high fossil fuel costs of production. This is, of course, a delayed reaction.
There was a big "medical reversal" around this where a very large seemingly well-conducted study led to doctors advising patients to avoid their allergens. Later studies failed to replicate this result however and doctors have reversed course as evidence has built up that avoiding the allergen can indeed worsen it over time

However, I don't really think this is all relevant. Allergen immunotherapy is not as simple as just exposing yourself to the allergen and requires medical oversight. Even if someone is trying to work through this process without a medical professional, they still have a right to know which foods do and don't contain this allergen that could still kill them in large amounts

> But self driving cars will do nothing to reduce traffic.

I think self-driving cars could (and probably will) net worsen the traffic problem, but the above is not necessarily correct. If we ever get them working properly, self-driving cars can collaborate in ways that humans can't. E.g., imagine a busy freeway. In theory, cars going similar ways could form a sort of peoloton, communicating with one another about intention and circumstance. So you could have a group of cars going from one city to another traveling at high speed very close together, saving fuel and space.

But yes, generally anytime we make something easier, people do it more, so I expect any road efficiency gains to be swamped by increased demand.

Linux kernel development has been coordinated via mailing lists for ages.

Linus wrote the git version control system specifically to suit the development of Linux.

GitHub made git mainstream, and they made lots of great features for the masses.

But there is no reason for the Linux project to change the way that they like to work just because of that.

Still, a copy of the Linux source tree is also hosted on GitHub. So it seems to me that everyone gets what they want. Linux get to continue their development in the way that they like to do it. People on GitHub can easily find the copy of Linux on GH, and browse the sources there. And they can create forks of the Linux sources on GH too.
