Cars are high-price, low-volume goods, and Tesla loves automating their factories. If you're making a car you don't want low regulation, you want highly qualified labor, and stable and predictable regulation.

Pi-hole can't filter out ads that are embedded into the page though. I think adblockers have to be a browser extension to work conprehensively.

In general our bodies evolved for a certain environment. Simple sugars were present in that environment (fruit, honey) but not at high levels. Our bodies are highly adaptable but when you start consuming orders of magnitude more sugar than

The source of complexity is in the problems C++ is designed to solve. I use C++ metaprogramming for problems that require it. Sure, Boost is full of metaprogramming insanity, but with today's C++ standard library it's not necessar

I have found with typescript that having a gradual, structural type system actually helps with quick and dirty prototyping, as it allows me to notate data structures. It's hard to find a reason to use JavaScript. Note that type error

This is the putting one's head in the sand methodology of programming lanaguge design. Go's answer to metaprogramming is source code generation. There are many problems with C++ but the existence of the template system isn'

Not stating a limit doesn't mean there's NO limit. It means the limit is implementation defined. If the way you interpret a spec implies a requirement of infinite memory or infinite stack, then the way you interpret it is wrong.

In England we solve this problem by enumerating the allowable reasons upfront. - You know the defendant. - You know the victim or one of the witnesses. - You know someone in the court room such as the lawyers, judge, etc. - You have close f

I am from UK, but for professional purposes I always use American spellings in APIs, even if it's an open source project and I'm the only author. It's objectively better for everybody to use a standard consistent spelling acr

The point is you can put var inside the try because it has function scope. That's what I do, although it is inelegant.

If you speak with authority on a subject you will probably get downvoted if you are wrong about it. At least one of either humility or accuracy is expected.

It was a crisis that was resolved through international action. I'm not really sure what your point is. That we don't have to worry about global warming because countries are going to work together to stop it? I wish I had your op

The hole in the ozone layer was stopped because countries got together and signed a treaty to ban CFCs. It is the most successful example of international collaboration on an environmental issue ever.

Yes I was bullied (UK, middle class). The teachers were powerless to do anything if they didn't see, and few bullies are stupid enough to assault you when teachers can see. Nobody ever taught me that I had a right to defend myself. T

It's not about wealth it's about population density. Think not about dense areas like Vietnam but sparsely populated places such as Australia, Canada, Russia, etc. Of course the problem with this is that there's relatively no

Facebook has a plan A and a plan B for dealing with competition. Plan A is to buy out competitors to acquire users and diversify their brand (Instagram, Whatsapp). Plan B is to use FB's overwhelming resource advantage to copy their pro

Completely disagree. Programmers come from many different backgrounds. Having a non-CS degree is a strength because it means you see the world from a different perspective and have different skills. For instance programmers with a physics b

The problem is that Amazon's goal is to replace retail stores with their website and to build a monopoly on consumer commerce. Competition law exists precisely to stop monopolies from saying "it's our business so we can mak

Wait what? Sideloading means installing software directly, rather than from a first party distribution mechanism. If a user installs software manually they are still sideloading it, that's what the word means!!

There's no chance that automation will advance such that you only need one pilot. The pilots job is to babysit the machine, hardware and software. And you need two for the obvious reason that sometimes one is incapacitated. More comple

You are much more likely to get good results if you go to a doctor's appointment armed with knowledge and good questions to ask. Yes, don't trust everything you read on an Internet forum, but don't dismiss it either.

Should we require the elderly to pay their adult children minimum wage for looking after them? Because that is far more like work than being a moderator on a website.

Many people like living in cities. There are many dozens of restaurants within walking distance of my home and quite literally thousands if I hop on the tube. How would my life be enriched if I lived in suburbia?

Absolutely does not cost £20 to eat in London, unless you live somewhere upmarket but in that case you can probably afford it. I can get good pizza for ~£7.

Maybe the reason we don't ban these things is that it would be hard to enforce. How can a customs officer verify if clothes were made in a sweatshop? Otherwise it sounds like a great idea to ban these things.
