I think "we’ll have a process in place to address technology that could be dangerous" is a pretty strong hint, but it would apply about equally well to AI or nuclear, which are already the top guesses in this thread.

I honestly can't understand what use patterns the article is suggesting. "During these hours, the report argues, the battery could be “dispatched” elsewhere to helps smooth supply and demand on the grid" Do they actually mean

A lot of the people who would like to live in San Francisco work in San Francisco and have their income taxed by San Francisco. It's kind of frustrating.

It seems like something like the dependency tracking and selective reloading in Stuart Sierra's tools.namespace could be used to mitigate their first problem.

> and they offer an advantage over Uber because there is no "surge pricing." That sounds like a disadvantage to me -- can you actually get one if lots of people want rides?

Towards the end of an iterated prisoner's dilemma, your opponent has fewer upcoming opportunities to punish you, and so you may as well defect (especially since your opponent may be thinking the same thing). The interaction in the stud

I agree that planes going into buildings is the major security concern, but we fixed it. We've reinforced the cockpit doors and we've taught passengers not to cooperate with hijackers (the latter we managed within hours of the fir

I leave my lights on and kill my battery once every few months, so this is easily worth it for me, but I'm probably an outlier[0]. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attention_deficit_hyperactivit...

I don't see an explanation for the name -- is the joke that cheese comes in wheels and Python packages come from the cheeseshop?

by MBlume 11y ago
Python packaging seems pretty painful compared to what I've experienced with, say, Clojure (list dependencies in project.clj, done), but that seems like an unfair comparison. It's really common for Python projects to bind to C lib

Nah, A Clojure program which translated Clojure code to JVM bytecode would be a good start.

Read the material, skip the code, write your own code in Ruby, that's what I've been doing in Clojure.

This is an awesome hack, thanks =) When I tried rebasing my Clojure fork against upstream I got Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/michael.blume/bin/git-rebaser", line 96, in <module> w

I'd like to see what the code looks like after it's been through the preprocessor in a modern Linux environment -- I'm guessing a hell of a lot shorter?

Back in the 80s, the concern was not germs, but heavy metals. That's 100% understandable. If somebody told me there was lead in my tap water (and I believed them) I'd switch to bottled water in a heartbeat. But according to the ar

Pre-9/11 airplane hijackings were a moderate inconvenience. At worst you wind up in Cuba or something and have to find a way to get home. Post-9/11, and by post-9/11 I mean literally hours after the towers were struck, passen
