Dependency exclusions is a code smell everywhere but java. I don't understand why someone is actively giving this advice.

I was not arguing against rural internet; the cost is constant over time. But the rural internet requires lobbying and money to invest that requires political lobbying. To reduce my position to something extremely concise, I'd simply l

This implies an increased density of power availability, which doesn't follow given many charging stations are unavailable to the general public.

It is a strange experience to be jealous of countries with high population density. However, every time bicycles, electric vehicles, or renewable energy comes up, I feel profoundly embarrassed the US can't form a similar effort given o

I guess I just consider the hypervisor.framework to be not at all exciting. How long has virtualization been out now? When is container.framework coming? I'd also accept jail.framework. Of all the cool things to do with virtualization

There are many roads you can still ride a horse on. Will that be true with self driving cars on the road?

I personally love the bus, but it can vary greatly from place to place (and even from bus line to bus line). But this is a great illustration of self-driving cars: it's public transit for the upper-middle class. (The middle class can&#

That resonates with me; thank you. I still think it's a bullshit marketing term.

This also makes the tickets less valuable to begin with: more risk involved. I'm not going to buy tickets on a whim if I can't resell them if my schedule changes.

A mention of what a "wheel" is would be nice somewhere. I associate it with the "wheel bit", which appears to be entirely unrelated.

Got a citation for that? Or is that just your definition? As soon as we understand a problem there are better terms that are actually meaningful.

> They attempt to give greater meaning to something than the direct observations support. Why is this anti-statistical? Nobody said the statistical input had to be empirical.

by duaneb 11y ago
Hah, I agree with the disillusionment with the process but only because I see that statistics is OBVIOUSLY the ultimate language of the brain—how else would you explain neural networks, inductive logic, and linguistic disambiguation?

You can already do this on public transit; why wait for self-driving cars?

Ok, so I agree with you that ping pong isn't a replacement for a salary, benefits, or interesting problems. I'm also sure this is a straw man.

The quote makes it clear that's the upper bound, which doesn't offer any information about the rest of the purchases, let alone the mean.
