They need to look good in order to sell you ads and sell you software, so in my opinion, Microsoft is bound to be good (in order to go bad)

this means there's no point in evangelizing for big companies like microsoft, because it's just the cycle. (And also, no need to be embarrassed, because that's the cycle too!)

It's like feeling bad that you got hungry, so you ate, and then you feel sorry that you ate, so you got hungry again, it's a cycle, companies need to look good in order to get customers, then they will exploit the customers they got by looking good, and then look bad cause the goal is to exploit the customers, and the cycle starts again.

Yep, insurance is really at quantifying and transferring risk. Maybe the best thing about it is that it translates high, unlikely costs in the future into small, certain costs today, and the latter are far easier to respond to rationally and proportionately.

As a minor point, there's nothing inherently capitalist about it - the largest personal lines auto insurer in the US (like many of the smaller ones) is a mutual company, meaning that it doesn't have outside shareholders and functions more or less as a cooperative owned by its policyholders.
Also the members of the council pushed for website censorship, which will be included in this bill. They also directly lie about the contents. The EU allegedly has fact checkers, but they are a joke as otherwise they would flag publications of the commission left and right.

To be honest, I don't see the EU as a public good anymore. For a while already. It has degenerated to into a bureaucratic technocracy.

Before anyone tries to mention that I can vote for parliament and one of the council members and everything is super dandy,... I know and that doesn't make anything any better. Democracy is so indirect that we can do away with it completely in the current implementation. We will get bombed with such bills until something sticks. This isn't anything I will support.

I think the issue is _when_ you make the review. Psychologically suggesting a breaking change after someone invested in a bunch of tests and verification will raise their defenses up.

I think there is value in doing a review (specially with junior team members) on their 'design intent' early on, as soon as a prototype/skeleton is up. Proposing a change then is met with a lot less friction.
As a European, this seems like an impossible feat at this point. It has been tried, but the cities have evolved in a way where this is just unfeasible.

EU cities have mostly been built to be dense around train & bus stations. US cities (besides NY) are extremely large, flat, and spread out. Even if you had public transportation, it would be practically impossible to get from A to B because there are no hotspots besides the downtown/city center.

The concept of a "car city" is real. It's a vicious cycle that the US entered at some point, and besides rebuilding the cities entirely there's not much hope for public transport.

The (in nerd culture) famous Austrian pendant from Heinz Zemanek at the Vienna University of Technology was called "Mailüfterl" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mail%C3%BCfterl) which is translated something like "gentle breeze in may".

Zemanek said all of those 'powerful' US machines had stormy names, so he had to name it accordingly :]

What is this solution we already have that you speak of? It takes 40 mins to go 3 miles in SF using public transit, between two popular destination pairs.

Fleets of driverless cars lets you do traffic shaping in time and space. Plus the marginal energy cost is basically nothing. It's basically all fixed cost BUT it's not like a transit project in the sense that you don't have to allocate a bunch of capital ahead of time and wait 10 years and then maybe get what you wanted (or not). Driverless cars are helpful the moment the first $200K car hits the road.
Yes probably. The only real difference between an opinion and a philosophy are the number of people that believe it.
There are packaging tools for Python, and if your tooling is targetting people already using Python, just relying on `pip` + writing a proper pyproject.toml is a good solution nowadays (protip for people with virtualenv issues: direnv solves so much of this it's not funny).

But I have been looking around for a while for something that's more certain than `pip`, and unfortunately everything I've found (like Bazel or Buck) suffers from having to do a lot of futzing to use dependencies.

Thank you for sharing this! I'm into endurance cycling and had similar issues. I'm diagnosed with PVC as well and rely on medication to keep it from happening. I nearly fainted while driving a car, so it is not without "harmful effect".

In my case, the PVC disappears during exercise and comes back when I take a rest after exercising. I just wonder if you had any comparisons between rest vs. elevated heart rate scenarios. Now I'm super curious how elevated heart rate might change the clock rates for those nodes.

Because reading is boring-- or at least boring relative to playing StarCraft while watching TV and chatting on Ventrilo (or whatever it is the youths do these days, WhatsApp and TikTok videos of Family Guy + marble game or somesuch.). Reading is a less dopamine-rich activity, and is therefore adjacent to work, and well-aligned with Protestant ideals of seriousness, diligence, temperance, and discipline. Because it's boring, it may also help train the mind to persist in other difficult, dopamine-scant activities, thereby allowing those sufferers to accomplish things that they might otherwise have given up on while jonesing for the next stab of reward chemicals.
I used 8.1 until 2020 and 10 until a few months ago, so no nostalgic distortion. 8.1 was the pinnacle of the platform, clean, snappy, no-nonsense. 10 already was much more bloated, apps looked crammed, and if it would still be in active development today, it would probably suck as much as the desktop pendant.

I think the team behind 8 had just a lot of freedom and could work on their vision, but then with 10 everyone had to leave their mark somewhere because they knew how to "fix" it and get it to succeed.

If you start driving for Uber with some vehicle that’s extremely expensive to operate, like a Land Rover or something, maybe you’d lose money, but that’s not the norm. It’s common for Uber drivers to finance their vehicles by driving for Uber. This obviously only works if there is a surplus of value created by driving that vehicle for Uber. It’s not like independently wealthy people are subsidizing Uber by donating the equity of their cars. The cost of cars used by drivers is ultimately paid by customers, there is not some magic trick here.

Ugh, the fact that there IS a heat wave in the ocean currently is catastrophic. Not that they are common, not that they have occurred in the past (they haven’t, since 2010 it was unheard of). This is warming. You say it’s not in any way special yet you are quoting from a source that says the opposite. They are anomalous ergo they are special, strange, and unusual. This isn’t normal. There isn’t a “history of warming” because marine heat waves bleach reefs, kill marine life, cause toxic algae blooms, and many more ills. If it were “normal”, our seas would be empty. I like our seas having life.
At least you concede then that Google invested in the hardware.
There is a big difference between plausible deniability style naivity where everybody knows the truth, and real naivity.

I've sat in meetings where the magic words 'The minds need to ripen' were code for 'we do exactly what the CxO told us to do, and let them deal with the very predictable consequences'. All kind of politely sounding language was used.

In this text, the world naivity is spoken out loud. It's still a polite thing to say, but very explicit. That's rare enough to make me wonder if someone is trying to character murder the leaders of this company.

Just had a similar problem. My bank's iOS app didn't react for "confirm" button so I removed it which resulted with completely locking me out of online banking. Now I'm waiting for a bloody letter. The stale mobile duopoly, mobile as a first class citizen and web as a second class, plus "securitay" practices of banking are an infuriating experience.
> The original Kinect was just such an optional accessory...

The Xbox One was then tightly integrated with the Kinect, but that was such an unpopular move that they eventually gave up (first by no longer requiring the Kinect to be connected [1], then by no longer shipping a Kinect with each Xbox [2]) - so it's not for lack of trying. The thing was just unpopular with Xbox users.

...also as an Xbox 360 user at that time I saw Kinect as an expensive toy, and the completely brainless Xbox One marketing (which made very obvious that I'm not their target audience) was one of the main reasons why I gave up on the Xbox and went back to PC gaming.

> By holding off until 21 you can reduce the amount of long term addiction.

Most countries offer a counterexample.

Extreme binge-drinking to the point of harm and even death is quite particular to the US. It's a result of the prohibition on drinking, so the forbidden fruit is abused. In most contries kids drink mildly with family from 13-14 and with friends after that, but it is never seen as a big deal. So there's no pressure to go crazy at 21, or to hide it before that. When something is normal and not a big deal, it's not abused.
Ahem... "lack of empathy", how do you plan to quantify/measure that.

Also, I was under the impression that in most countries on this planet, the priviledge of being allowed to drive a car is handed out with the drivers licence, which in most countries, you actually have to have training and a test for. I also thought it was normal practice that these licenses also get revoked, based on tickets...

The only gripe I have with the system is that elderly are not automatically subjected to a regular test of their mental faculties and remaining sight. I am getting sick of 90 year old grandmas killing 3 year olds "by accident".
Don't know why you are downvoted, but that is very true. They also try to implement a unique internet ID per citizen to implement age verification. The motives are pretty transparent here. Some say they don't want that, but they are very likely lying.

I sometimes use the term for children in a joking manner.

If you're a large male, especially if you sport a beard, you will probably experience that smaller children react to you with shyness or fear quite often. I have seen children crying when a young men entered their car. The small kid hiding behind their mother's legs is a stereotype born from real-life experiences.

But the behavior often completely changes when that male person is accompanied by another child that isn't shy around them (e.g., their daughter). Apparently, there's a deep-rooted instinct in children that tells them "this one is a father and thus cannot be a bad person".
Well in all other engineering fields although they are used in conjunction. The two concepts are practically more or less mutually exclusive. There's no room for "design" when finding the shortest distance between two points because the shortest distance between two points is done via calculation using formal theory.

Things like user-friendliness can be "philosophical". You can separately and selectively apply theory and design where applicable, but they cannot in actuality be unionized in some unholy grafting.

I would say for the topic at hand; Of how to organize and abstract your code, if we ever find a complete formal theory for that, much of design will go out the window and what's left is mostly a calculation.
Of course insurance data doesn't contain that.

It seems like firm numbers are pretty hard to find, but wikipedia suggests there was significant jewish population concentrated in Jerusalem, even in the early 1500s (about 20% of the city) with conflicting reports of them becoming a plurality in the mid 1800s. (Arguably that's cherrypicking a single city)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographic_history_of_Jerusal...

There's certainly reasons one could doubt the number in absolute terms, there was certainly nothing like a modern census, but i think its more than enough to counter the narrative that there were no jews there right up until just before 1948.

To be clear not saying the jewish population didn't significantly expand in the 40's, it clearly did (at the same time many of those were basically forced from their previous homes, which i don't think fits with the "colonist" metaphor as that usually implies more choice), just that there were always jews in the region.

>There's no films, no sequels. You can't buy a licensed tshirt with Calvin and Hobbes on it. There's no licensed merchandise. No one has made it into a live action movie. Calvin and Hobbes are not available this month on MacDonalds cups if you buy a second whopper burger. You can't buy plush toys of Hobbes. There isn't a Christmas special TV show. Giant balloon figures of Calvin and Hobbes do not appear in city parades.

Hopefully, by the time there are new copyright owners (after Watterson) and want to do all of the above, it wont be a possibility anymore, because the Gen Alphas wouldn't know or care what Calvin and Hobbes was, and wont be able to follow such "heavy literature" anyway.

> by definition 51% of people in a democracy can decide they will not be stopped from driving.

This is an oversimplification. First of all, some percentage of legal drivers are not allowed to vote (non-citizens, 15-18 year olds, felons). Second, this assumes a "pure democracy," which the USA is not for several reasons, first of which is the fact that it's representative, second of which is that its representative rations haven't been updated in like a hundred years (if they were, there'd be thousands of members of congress, and California would have over a tenth of them), and finally, because of disenfranchisement through voter roll purges, gerrymandering, and political arrests (such as when ex-con felons in Florida were directly lied to and told they were allowed to vote so as to entrap them into committing the felony of voting as a felon).

Anyway we shouldn't assume people wouldn't vote against taking away the right to drive, if it came with the building out of good public transit infrastructure in return, which is what the USA desperately needs anyway. Not that I'm naive enough to think there's political will to make this happen, but the whole self driving car thing would be pretty moot if it was easy to get around San Francisco as it is to get around Paris, NYC, Tokyo, Taipei, etc.
And good thing, IMO.

You try and have a weird name in a foreign country. If you're not careful, everyone will spell it differently, and then you'll spend ages going "No, I'm sure I'm in your system. Try this other spelling".

At least back in the 90s when I often had to deal with that, you were usually talking to a real life person, sitting on the other side of the desk. You could show them your documentation.

Today since everything is online and computerized, the risk is that a computer somewhere in the chain will just go "The bits don't match", and it'll be challenge to even reach a real person, let alone one capable of even understanding what problem you're having.

Here's a real problem this could cause: To get a visa you usually need to prove ties to your country. This normally includes a bank extract. If the name printed on your bank extract doesn't match what's printed on your documentation that means a very real risk of rejection, and not going anywhere if you can't fix it fast enough. And I can imagine other very not fun possibilities, like having some sort of KYC/AML snag where something decides you lied about your name.
How did you decide to stop? I’ve been on Escitalopram for a few months now after suffering depression and anxiety that affected (and was affected by) my work relationship. My GP tried to get me down from 10mg to 5mg but I felt terrible again. I’m now on 7.5mg and feel ok. But I can’t imagine stopping. Like ever. I wonder how I could stop. Or perhaps just accept and take them forever?
Right, what about "formal theory"? Let's say number theory? That's a concept independent of belief. And that's the difference I'm getting at here.

Living in city with frequent stops, the stops do not slow them down so much. IF you add "looking for a parking place" into estimation for a car, going by bus is frequently faster (which is why I frequently pick bus - it is more predictable and faster).
