I grew up in an orthodox jewish community pretty near an even more, what might be termed "ultra orthodox" jewish community, and the dialect of english spoken there would probably be incomprehensible to native english speakers, bot

It's crazy how quickly these things have changed. 1920 doesn't _feel_ like all that long ago, objectively speaking.

These are all irrelevant gotchas but also not particularly insightful. >Prison guards should work for free? No, but their employment shouldn't be tied to how many prisoners there are. >How about maintenance workers? Ditto >How

I don't think GP's point was that firefighting should be a career open to felons, but rather that the fact that it's not, combines with the fact that prisoners are often doing firefighter work, means that clearly it's no

I think it's worth noting the value here. The reason why these positions are interesting is that they're so obvious to humans, even ametuer humans, and yet difficult to even very strong computers. This implies that the way compute

Fortresses and the types of closed positions that confuse engines are exceedingly rare. The benefit of fortress detection is necessarily overtaken by the runtime cost.

So weird that back in 2004 Python was the "hot new niche language". I guess the modern parallel would be Rust, and now I wonder if rust will eventually be the same as python is now.

Interesting. What sorts of "10% problems" was 4GL unable to handle?

by TchoBeer 5y ago
Python is pretty old and (imo) doesn't have that problem

Can't imagine having political discussions in 15 second increments. Twitter is bad enough already.

It _is_ enabled by public mugshots though. You can ban public mugshots, but you can't ban "the culture treating the accused poorly".

Exactly, they're functionally the same.

I don't see why eliminating disease is an abhorrent nightmare to you. Is the fact that no one gets polio anymore also an abhorrent nightmare?

>NASA own evaluation showed that the 300M SpaceX spend on the initial Falcon 9 would have cost 3 billion if done by the government. interesting, can you cite that?

Sure, if you don't count the Chrysler TEVan, the Ford Ranger EV, the honda ev plus, the Toyota RAV4 EV... also, if you ask me, a super expensive sports car should still count as a "gimmick". I give Tesla credit for reigniting

Sounds like you summed up exactly why they need good PR. If they spin it well they can be Robin Hood, if they spin it poorly they're common criminals.

even if it's 10% (which imo is pretty high) that's still far off from what we have now.

"jobs" and "money" don't do anything for society. Junk mail is a drain on resources that doesn't produce anything useful. If the problem is that too many people are unemployed and there aren't enough jobs
