What's odd too is that Washington State passed a net neutrality law and I don't see any FCC response to block it. So why only California?

No since the hardware changes over time, such as the video and audio hardware, and VMs don't prioritize emulating those anyway.

The way some video game studios do this is simply put a whole computer into the archive with all the software on it, so all the hardware and software are captured in time.

Reminds me, if you haven't been to Paul Alan's Living Computer museum I'd highly recommend it. You can play chess against a real working PDP-8 which is pretty impressive.

This makes sense, seems like photo ID would be a way to limit the per customer purchases.

Biggest issue I continuously encounter with new engineers is reinventing the mistakes of the past due not understanding the history of engineering and in turn what criteria we measure the quality of a decision on. Does this design take us closer to an over arching engineering ideal or farther a way?

The only course I've found is this one that starts from square one and gives new engineers this context is this: https://www.udacity.com/course/software-development-process-...

It would be great if there was more material online and we systematically teach new engineers history and context in addition to the nuts and bolts of making a program.

Now the whole data set in GitHub, the metadata, being able to analyze all the projects may not be as open since it can conflict with other microsoft products, such as LinkedIn if you're looking for candidates, or possibly AI training data.

Best line:

"I don't look at it [nature] as this morally benevolent place, it's a horror show"

Nope, the point is that it's a global assumption, we did this "customer to my org" thing with C and C++ already, time to move on.

Can't wait for browsers to start blocking overlays

Turns out economics, like rational thought on what's best, doesn't naturally prevail.

The part that always surprised me about the blitz is only 28k killed and 25k wounded. How is that even possible?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Blitz

> Civilian casualties on London throughout the Blitz amounted to 28,556 killed, and 25,578 wounded.

Was my thought too, you're introducing a number of unknown variables that could skew the distribution.

It's dumb to ignore data and try to solve problems from one's hypicrital and confused view.

> Mr. Ten Eyck says the requirement was “ridiculous” in practice — the equivalent of finding an earring in the orchard — so Indian Farms came up with an alternative to scouring the orchard every morning. “We have trained the guys only to grab the rails of the ladder,” he said.

My interpretation is getting to the same result more efficiently, not selectively applying based on that quote.

> “I’m not necessarily in favor of rolling back a lot of federal regulations,” said Ms. Ten Eyck, a Democrat who serves on her local town board. “I’m in favor of applying them intelligently.”

So the apple farmer makes sense, why not do that?

Interesting, it just seems hard to believe the UAE with a population of little more than Austria would have that many travelers.

Naive question, but what routes does Emirates fly that could make an A380 worth it? That's a big plane.

There are actually real problems to be solved, and nonsensical factless arguments don't solve them.

Right, it's the corruption and disorganization that's the problem.

Unfortunately this is a known chess move and some religions use it, letting their own people be harmed for a "greater good".

Muslims conquests wiped out much of Buddhism in India, so it's likely a concern on everyone's mind. They are well known today for destroying Nalanda: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decline_of_Buddhism_in_the_Ind...

Watch tutorials by Kelsey Hightower, he's been helping folks understand the differences and the models. e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlAXp0-M6SY

That is really astonishing.

Turns out the masses have been getting duped for millennia it's so trivial. So the bar is pretty low already.

I'm sure you're right, but not understand economics to that level wow.

So restaurants give you ketchup for "free" too, but turns out you're paying for it.

This is stupid to say the management node is free, you're just paying for it in another way. Now if they said they were able to run the node so cost effectively that it's just included in the hourly node cost, then that's a plus.

Famous last words?

I don't see why teaching that ethics comes before career isn't a priority. There's a validation that either the victim or the enablers are put into a morale delma to worry about their career over ethics. Shouldn't we be addressing that too? That there is no dilemma, it's just a regrettable mistake to do that.

The multional's products sold in western Europe I wouldn't call good quality food, I think the bigger issue is the produce and fresh goods are not very good. And honestly the produce isn't that great in Austria either.
