I'm not EV fudster, but for me gasoline cars are better in every aspect. May be except maintenance (I'm not sure, but I expect that I don't have to change oil every year in an electric car). I don't have money to buy two cars, so I need one versatile enough car. I can bring 100L gasoline with me to add 1000 km range on top of existing 500 range. I can charge it within 5 minutes, not 5 hours. It does not get worse with every year, because there's no degrading battery which costs like half a car. Probably the only thing that's better about EV is that electricity is the same everywhere, I can't charge it with bad electricity mixed with water in the old station, LoL.

Electric cars probably are the future, but I don't like this future. They don't have a soul.

> It's odd how everytime somebody mentions slashing oil production by 50 or 75%, people are immediately up in arms.

Maybe because they understand the immediate consequences of such an action and you don't. That's why 0 leaders around the world are proposing that kind of solutions because everyone that knows how world works, how supply chains work and what kind of environment is needed for people to elect leaders like Hitler. You want WWIII? The best way to do it is crashing the world economy.

> I mean there are plenty people in other parts of the world who don't have such a high standard of living, and it's not that big of a problem.

Climate change is a common knowledge, there are green parties in almost every country, if people really wanted to change their way of living they would vote for them but they don't. Clearly they are waiting for a technical miracle to happen or just don't care.

So what does it mean? It means that winter is coming and you should prepare for it. None of the newest models show that we can avoid first level of catastrophe even if we stop all the emissions. Millions or tens of millions of people will die, hundreds of millions will try to migrate. At this stage it's not a question of if but when. Life is not a Hollywood movie.

Partners are owners. In law and financial fields, they are often very knowledgable and experts in their fields and know little about things like computers.

When I started computerizing a law firm in the early 90s, the only technology attorneys knew how to use was the telephone and the dictation machine -- and their automobiles, of course, which some attorneys used as a comparison for how they wanted their PCs to work.

Especially for older attorneys, computers and such were frightening (many attorneys had never touched a typewriter), and I think this accounts for a lot of these kinds of reactions. Many people in power are used to having their whims catered to, to having others support them -- the junior attorneys, secretaries, paralegals, word processing operators, accounting staff, etc.
This seems like a bad idea made for the special interests only. A method to hide USD in an alternate currency until it is time to cash out for USD again. The reasoning behind this bill makes little sense as the intention here is to never develop rules, if this passes.

History is extremely important. It can help us make predictions about the future and understand circumstances in the past.

This specific incident has been researched to death. There is very little we will be able to understand about the sociopolitics of the past that we don't already know if the hand on the trigger changes. Every hypothetical scenario has been gamed to exhaustion, and which one reflects the reality we happen to be living in isn't going to change modern sociopolitics very much. What would change in a relationship with Russia if we found out a USSR plot killed Kennedy? The USSR is gone. What would change in people's trust in the FBI if we found out they killed Kennedy? That institution's reputation is already tarnished, and the people who would have made the decision to have him killed no longer work there. What would it matter if there was a conspiracy of a few people working with Oswald? We already know that it doesn't take more than one actor to kill a President from other assassination attempts.

Similarly, there is little to be gained studying this topic to exhaustion in terms of future predictions. Kennedy was a singular President existing in a singular time. A series of fairly unique circumstances led him to be universally hated and loved at the same time... Immensely popular, but his combination of willingness to challenge entrenched power and brash indifference to consequences made him dozens of enemies who would have had the resources to eliminate him.

Whether he was killed by a secret FBI project or a lone, angry man with firearm training changes none of those facts.

MacOS went downhill when Jonathan Ive decided to throw out all colors in favor of the 'content'. To this day I spend too much time deciphering blue-greyish icon shapes in the Finder's side bar.
It’s just economics, really. 1GB of RAM was unfathomably expensive back then so if you wrote software requiring it you’d be dead in the water.

These days RAM is cheaper than development time so instead of writing tightly memory controlled programs in C we write in e.g. garbage collected JavaScript. It's easier to learn and quicker to develop with. Part of me is broken hearted that the “art” of efficient programming is lost but it was an inevitable consequence of software becoming so central to our lives.

(and hey, that same discipline does still exist today if you want to dabble in it, in embedded spaces etc)

I took my first plane at 28 or so. Before it was just too expensive.

I survived, and traveled to many, many countries without it. ( car, buses )

Now, I live between two continents. Take plane at least once a year or every other one.

I would still be in favor of plane restriction.

Slashing oil production only works if we make serious investments in other energy infrastructure. It’s only tangentially about “standard of living” - it’s about how you even supply food and other basics of living if you cut off current energy systems.

And while we have made renewable energy investments to some degree - it’s at a dilettante level for show instead of being serious about it. Renewable infrastructure investments should be made highly favored financial investments to accelerate its manufacture and installation. Even with large government financing it would save money and lives.

And energy production is only a part of it, investments also need to be favored for restructuring our economy to alter high energy habits like individual commutes in cars vs bikes buses and trains.

Legally, the company can ask your gender and race, but you aren't required to answer. It's illegal to use either of those in the hiring process, so they avoid even asking until you're already hired. And imo they shouldn't ask period.

When we can burn fossil fuels to impact the atmosphere that cause climate change then we can also pump other gasses that will have a cooling effect. We aren’t doing much at the moment because there aren’t economic incentives to do so, but that can change if we have policy changes.

If you take the physics as given, all we can say that is if nothing different from the model is happening, things will be bad. The nature of "different" is, however, extremely broad.

Wishful thinking is that expensive sacrifices for the far future will be politically feasible while at the same time people need to already mitigate the effects of climate change. There need to be way better policy and technological packages than now.
> You think I'm making a political point. I'm making a moral point - that stealing, initiating force, threatening force are wrong, and cannot be made right regardless of how one tries to dress it up. A wrong cannot be turned into a right. Government is based on immoral actions and lies. This cannot be avoided.

Don't tell me what I'm thinking, thank you. But for the record I thought your argument looked pretty much like a No True Scotsman and I wanted to make you aware of this.

Furthermore, I offered a perspective on the troubles direct democracies as a form of legislative process have and why they are not less, but more, susceptible to manipulation. I probably should have let out the second paragraph, it did not add anything to my argument, but too late. I am afraid this is not going to change a thing, because I'm probably already sorted into the "sheeple" or "hostage" bin, but claiming to make a moral argument instead of a political one, does not reinforce your earlier statement.

So, here is the strongest version of your new argument I can come up with, but first an assumption: You write "government" but seem to mean "executive". The executive is a different branch of government than the legislative we talked about earlier. The legislative makes the laws (by direct vote, through representative, by the will of God, whathaveyou), but does not enforce them. The executive enforces the laws, but does not make them.

Anyway, now the arguments. I can actually see two:
1) An executive threatening force to enforce laws (i.e taxation) is morally wrong, because threatening force is morally wrong. Why?
2) An executive threatening force to enforce laws (i.e taxation) is morally wrong, because taxation is equal to stealing and therefore morally wrong, because stealing is morally wrong, because... why?

I think 1) is the much stronger argument but the line of argument breaks down much earlier. I'm not necessarily against any of these lines of argument but I'm somewhat dangling in the air here. They do not explain why taxation is equal to stealing, and it does not explain why threatening force to enforce the law is morally wrong. I, for one, can think of a few cases where it seems perfectly justified (e.g. arresting an attacker) so this seems at least to be not a universally applicable claim.

But, of course, this depends on what you actually think how moral and ethics work. Are you a deontologist? Or are you more of a teleologist? Are your morals value or virtue based? These are important questions to discuss to understand your argument.

Learning and predicting the unknown class using evidential deep learning
I follow a simple rule: Anyone who probably has video of something controversial (like a car wreck or a fight) can be trusted IFF the bring out the video within 48 hours.

A delay strongly implies they are trying to lie.

As a bonus, posting the video to YouTube within a short time proves you did not spend a lot of time editing it before posting it. This is increasingly important in the era of AI fakes.

This would make a great rule for court cases: Anyone who publically posts video within 48 hours is assumed to be in the right. Anyone who likely had video but did not post it within 48 hours is assumed to be in the wrong.

There is no legitimate reason cops do not post video of their shift as soon an they get back to the police station.
I upvoted you, but IMO:

- private cars and their usage are too cheap

- air travel is too cheap

- producing garbage is to cheap

- politics is top centered around providing infinte fuel for "growth" instead of distributing resources rationally

Yes, this is a political opinion.

The stunt many people do is pretending that climate denialism and politics centered on fueling growth are not a political opinion but "rational" and sustainable.

> Cloud platforms are a lot like banks.

I would argue that your comparison is incorrect.

The correct comparison to a bank is dedicated hosting or own-hardware colocation.

Cloud providers are selling you an abstraction over that base.

Therefore the correct thing to compare cloud providers to are NBFIs (Non-Bank Financial Institutions).

NBFIs know they are not a bank, they know they can't sell you the trust-model of a bank. Instead they try to incentivise you with attractive sounding interest rates in the hope that you will conveniently disregard the fact that you will not benefit from the government-backed deposit safety scheme that you would gain with a bank.
The people I see passing that sheet around are the same kind of people I see complaining about the company a lot. There must be a skew.
So long as they have coal power plants, and need the electricity unless it get prohibitively expensive, they will just mine more coal. The way to reduce emissions is to replace high-emission infrastructure.
This is very similar to what Grudin suggests in his HCI history "From tool to partner": Apple used to be very usability and research focussed in the 80s and early 90s, but turned away from it with Jobs and went more look-driven — and had great success with it. Other companies followed. (Which does not mean that companies ignored graphic design before, but it was the more utilitarian parts of graphic design that were important focussing on distinct shapes, readability etc.)

Snap developer responds to question about design choice
UCC has had black unsweetened canned coffee for quite a while (UCC Black 無糖 sugarless).

Sugarless Japanese canned coffee tends to taste rough because it often includes some robusta beans, which are cheaper and more bitter-tasting. Which is why I prefer the less-sweet (微糖) variants, or with milk/creamer to balance the bitterness. The exceptions are the special cans advertising coffee from a specific country picked by some champion barista or other, which are better, but of course nowhere near as good as a freshly-brewed cup.

What's different about mass-produced coffee in Japan is that it leans heavily towards only mildly bitter coffee, not the hard bitter stuff you might get elsewhere. Convenience-store machine-brewed coffee is almost always pleasant and easy to drink unsweetened, which is not the case in many other countries. Heck, a few years ago the 7-11s here in Singapore brought in 7-11 Japan's coffee machines, but the beans they use here are far more bitter than the ones in Japan.

Because the alternative is worse. Notably, Miranda v Arizona set off a huge effort by the right to undo it or at least limit it in major ways.

Since there is no port in ICMP, NAT doesn't have to deal with the problem of sending the ICMP echo reply back to the correct port.

ICMP echo requests have an ID, and that's effectively the same as a source port number.

Correct NAT handling of ICMP echo has to remap the ID in both directions, the same way that correct handling of UDP remaps the source port.

Reason being, if the machine behind NAT is being pinged at the same time by two different hosts, and they happen to use the same request numbers, then it is ambiguous.

Another possibility is not to rewrite the identifiers, but keep a list of remote machines associated with each ID. When there is a clashing ID, the list contains two or more entries (remote IP addresses). So then, when a reply is received from the machine behind the NAT gateway, the NAT chooses one of the entries in the list (say, the least recently added one) and sends the reply to that machine. Then removes the entry.
