Didn't Tumblr do a whole "alienate your user base" thing like Reddit did recently? They got rid of all the racey hot content and basically made it super boring no?

This always seems like a really bad idea.
They say they don't listen for watchwords and only record video on demand. Good.

But that means their hypothetical calorie-count example only works if you actively remember "I am eating, I should tell the pin to record my eating". Same with many other things; the wrist-worn smart devices are useful exactly because they are always recording, they are somewhat ambient.

I understand why they do it, I even applaud them for thinking about privacy, it might even be necessary (cough..Google glass...cough), but I feel they have to walk a tightrope between a rock and a hard place to bring privacy-consciousness and useful features together.
The very stuff we are made of isn't private, why do we care about privacy of mental processes when most of the input to those processes is culturally provided. The only reason people care for privacy is because they will be socially and financially punished for if they let others inside their head.
Thank you, really appreciate it!

> ensure spending is maintained at full employment

This is the MMT fallacy. Full employment != full production.

If you want your economy to be as efficient and productive as possible, the mandate cannot be "full employment".

This means inefficient workers must be paid to not work.

Thiel, who wrote back in 2009 that “Most importantly, I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible” and “Since 1920, the vast increase in welfare beneficiaries and the extension of the franchise to women — two constituencies that are notoriously tough for libertarians — have rendered the notion of ‘capitalist democracy’ into an oxymoron” [0] is taking a break from democracy?

He very publicly gave up on democracy, at the latest, nearly 15 years ago. He may recently be taking a break from sponsoring political candidates as a mechanism in his war against democracy, but he's not taking a break from democracy in any way that constitutes news.

The whole goal of doing a startup like this as ex-Apple people is the narcissistic "next Steve Jobs" audition they are implicitly doing.

I think the failure of most group processes is the leadership's failings. They need the wisdom and technical knowledge to make the right choices, the organizational skill to implement those choices, the authority to implement those choices, and the charisma to bring the team along with them.

I know a lot of people get mad and lash out at Agile in particular, but I don't think the alternative is any more straightforward. Group work is hard.
> I think rooting my self-worth in competence is the only reason I've been able to achieve anything remotely worthwhile through a learning disability which affects focus and concentration. It's a great way to summon determination.

This echoes what I'm discovering the hard way in my own life: to have learned to force oneself through grit and determination and be successful and self-confident in those aspects of life where that grit is a major contributor (work, sport, empirical accomplishments), only to notice that interpersonal relationships and inner self struggle with self-worth, connection, compassion and empathy, especially towards one-self. The fight for competence and some form of perfection become the battle cry leading into abject loneliness.

Maybe this is part of many men's struggle to not end up at the bottom of the rat race, inadvertently failing to tend to inner wounds and needs in the process.
65 knots is probably the most surprising piece of information there. That’s the speed of a car on a highway. If there were a bridge from NY to London, would you take it? What if the views are nice, and you can nap, walk around, and have tea while you work?

The idea that some operating system developers feel entitled to a 30% cut of all the money made by the software running on the system is that insane. All the technological rent-seeking chicanery these days hurts my brain. Why are people putting up with it?

To me it seems like the better way to run such audit code is against the main branch periodically, and it's someone's job to triage failures at high priority. Attaching it to unrelated changes is half the problem. But it's not something that fits into the common CI workflow which assumes breakage comes from code changes, not updates in an external vulnerability database.
I think you'd have to be an NHL insider to know that.

Dolan's Wikipedia page blames him for the post-94 dip, which may be fair, but if that's the case, then he's seen them through two rebuilds, one of which culminated with a Stanley Cup Finals appearance (2014, if I recall). I'll never forgive him for not getting Hank a Cup, but sometimes these things can't be helped. Hockey is fickle.
Unfortunately, I think he still wants the skins. He is just tired of the formality of feeding and moisturizing his victims only to have them run away.

> You design (or choose) the new type such that it actually is compatible with the old type.

Yes I agree, in that case sure, but when refactoring the case can arise that a new type must no longer compatible with the old type, then auto becomes a hindrance.

std::vector and std::list have different behaviour regarding the validity of iterators after deletion (EDIT: and insertion so it seems!), to pick an example.

> warehouse to warehouse deliveries

Maybe, but smaller blimps don't have very much throughput compared to trucks, much less rail. A Hindenburg sized megablimp that can actually carry a lot (but still way less than rail + trucks) is logistically difficult.

Seems like the niche is more point-to-point, where a large cargo needs to get somewhere unusual or unscheduled, and kinda quick. Something too big or too cheap for a helicopter, and maybe where a manned truck would not work or have a similar cost.

Interesting. I see what you're saying, and I don't know if I would characterize that as no-op code. All of that code will run. What I see there is redundant assignments, which I agree can act as a great form of code comment.

Often a code comment can be avoided (and clarity improved) by giving a name to an intermediate value rather than letting it be a nameless expression.

I like it! But I don't think of this a no-op code and would not imagine a lint rule objecting to it. That said, a code minifier (or compiler) would be well positioned to optimize that code, so you shouldn't even have to worry about even the thought of perf implications.
IDEs don't always display every type in a useful way. Sometimes they just display an unhelpful alias which ends up being just as useless. Sometimes they display an incredibly verbose version with all the default template parameters written out, making it a nightmare. Sometimes they give useless results, like when you have a dependent type whose concrete type you know (imagine typename T::value_type vs. size_t). Sometimes they haven't even finished analyzing the code yet. I could go on. You should not be crippled without your IDE.
I love the 1993 mario movie, I think you really summed up why I was so forgiving of the liberties it took. As a kid I had superimposed my imagination on the very limited source material and the movie just did that in a direction I didn't expect.

I have also heard that in its development there were the designs of a much darker cyberpunk world which was ultimately vetoed somewhere up the ladder, that sort of explains some of the weird choices.

Rust looks nicer and nicer. Is anyone familiar with RAM/Memory requirements as compared to c?

Every microcontroller project I've worked on, as we approach maturity, goes through a round of freeing up ram and code space. Usually deleting strings, removing debug functionality, or shortening datatypes.. etc

Can I write rust code with the same footprint as c code?
This is a very good article that doesn't shy away from downsides. Below are my personal not-so-humble opinions.

> Rust has a great developer experience. Its type system is very powerful and allows you to encode complex invariants about your system in the type system.

Usually this means: we have three people doing type-level magic, no one understands it, and when they inevitable quit no one can understand how this works and why it takes weeks to add a small change.

> Related to the previous point, the Rust community is still relatively small. It is hard to find developers with professional Rust experience.

This directly correlates with what was written previously: "Many developers enjoy working with Rust. It is the most admired language for the 6th year in a row". Enjoyment often comes from early adopters, and people trying the language for some side projects.

I'll admit, however, that Rust seems to have crossed the chasm in the adoption cycle.

> Rust has a famously steep learning curve. It is a complex language with many advanced features.

Combined with "It is hard to find developers with professional Rust experience" and "mostly training their developers on the job", stay away from it unless you know exactly what you are doing.

> more than 2/3 of respondents are confident in contributing to a Rust codebase within two months or less when learning Rust.

This is a huge amount of time. However, unclear: is this due to the language, due to being thrust into a new domain/role/job, or both.
Apple doesn't make anything close to this hardware?
You'd probably be better off with TCC or with GCC with -O0. Assembly can only outrun C when the programmer uses context-aware optimizations. If you're just using generic macros everywhere to piece together a solution you may as well just use a high-level language.
Olive oil has a lower smoke point than cheaper oils so faking olive oil has been pretty easy.. I don't actually buy Italian olive oil since anyone who is faking oil internationally would be pretty crazy to make less by selling it as Spanish or Greek olive oil.

I think that mandatory insurance for roads was already acknowledged by the parent poster. They invoked it directly by suggesting internet users should have to carry liability insurance if the central concern is victim restitution or compensation (like roads). You are making the same point you objected to.

The fundamental question is what is the legal objective here, and what do we want it to be?

1) Is the goal to make sure that victims are compensated?

2) Do we think companies like omegle are negligent, and are we trying to hold them accountable?

3) Do we actually think neither?

If the answer is 1 but not 2, then making Omegles pay is clearly an injustice, and we should be looking into some sort of mandatory user insurance.

Putting my cards on the table, I am in camp 3. Just because bad things happen, doesnt mean can or should find a way to compensate the injured party.
Aquire a company not for the product, but to hire specific people working there. Like experts in a field. For instance if you have a competing product and want to build something using expertise or if you think the technology can be applied elsewhere.
Yeah exactly. I don't want a bunch of different apps/accounts/bills. Cable was a convenience that many people didn't realize.

it was easier to justify solar tracking (and concentrating solar, and nuclear) fifteen years ago when solar panels are expensive. but now you have to trade off twenty dollars in mechanical parts for tracking against 180 more peak watts of solar panels. with maintenance costs it's easy for the balance to come out in favor of a simpler system without tracking

I have to imagine many do, it sucks since what the hell are their options. I would like to think that most doctors at least care somewhat. I can't imagine how they feel if they think someone truly needs something and insurance just says no.

I went through an issue with a medication for me and it was still never resolved.
Of course not, but you can have sunlight for 12, reach the jetstream, cut the engines unless you are maneuvering, store some energy to have enough to operate for the next 12 hours, and replenish your batteries for 12 more hours while you still don’t need it too much. Before that is depleted, you should have arrived.

> At one point, court records show, United inaccurately reported to Penn State and the family that McNaughton’s doctor had agreed to lower the doses of his medication. Another time, a doctor paid by United concluded that denying payments for McNaughton’s treatment could put his health at risk, but the company buried his report and did not consider its findings. The insurer did, however, consider a report submitted by a company doctor who rubber-stamped the recommendation of a United nurse to reject paying for the treatment.

> But the records reviewed by ProPublica show that United had another, equally urgent goal in dealing with McNaughton. In emails, officials calculated what McNaughton was costing them to keep his crippling disease at bay and how much they would save if they forced him to undergo a cheaper treatment that had already failed him. As the family pressed the company to back down, first through Penn State and then through a lawsuit, the United officials handling the case bristled.

Of course you produced nothing of value. Learning in school is about absorbing already existing knowledge. Barring some really exceptional anecdotes like Gauss figuring out how to efficiently sum series in school, it's pretty much certain that you'll come up with nothing new whatsoever.
