The reflection is limited to calling methods on objects. So it would be difficult to directly interface with Apple frameworks. You couldn't build closures or respond to delegate callbacks for example.

So the homeless population in SF would mostly still be homeless? If UBI is unable to help those at the lowest rung of society, what's the point?

Your eyes need to be open for it to unlock. Also someone can't touch your fingertips when you are asleep?

And the NHTSA doesn't count as a third party?

> I'm speculating that the reason for that 40% safety improvement is more a result of the difference between where autopilot can and cannot be used.

To say that tesla owners without autopilot tend to drive in situations with 40% more likelihood of accidents than those with autopilot, sounds like a massive stretch without data of your own.

The article gives examples where untrained animals cause distractions for actual service dogs trying to do their job. And that the backlash against fake service dogs, give real ones a bad reputation.

He does briefly mention it, but unless you have a fairly modern macbook/mbp you may not be able to push 4k@60hz even with a DisplayPort cable.

I'm not Clubber, but I think Google should choose, by their own volition, to accept Daily Stormer in order to promote freedom of speech and an open internet. In the same way sense that the rich "should" donate to charity even if there isn't necessarily a legal or moral obligation to. They should do it because the world is a better place with the open exchange of ideas.

Do you have a link to that?

With telcos, there are only a few companies to choose from. If you want to run your own dedicated servers, nothing is stopping you. So what if people want to pay more for the ease of cloud platforms?

So it would always be on if you use OK Google?

I'm saying that this is an incredibly inane, nitpicky, superficial conversation that has nothing to do with the technical content of the presentation.

"Conventionally inclining includes ...?"

What does it include? You've conveniently managed to skip over the crucial part with ellipses. Calls in the middle of stacks perhaps?

You people have too much time on your hands to go and pick at the wording people use in their presentations.

Thats not surprising. I think most developers don't care what non-developers think about how to improve programming.

But these resident-permit systems are already in place in many cities, and we still have parking problems. And you want to remove minimum parking spot mandates on top of that, which will only reduce the supply of parking. I guess auctioning off street parking permits could work but it hardly seems any more fair than forcing new developments to provide their own parking.

What rules against parking on the street? In many existing neighborhoods, houses don't have garages and rely exclusively on street parking. Should we disallow street parking and start making people rent garages? That would definitely affect the poor.

Like you say, for most businesses running a paid parking scheme is too much overhead to be worth it. But you would remove requirements for minimum amounts of parking. So wouldn't you expect in areas with limited parking the issue to be exacerbated, since business would have less incentive to build parking? You say that the city can then charge for parking, but also that they already do it, so not much would change there...

Re-planning cities takes a long time. Do you suggest people just take taxis/uber for a decade until public transportation catches up? Might not be the worst idea.

They aren't forcing subsidized parking. They're forcing the construction of parking lots and structures.

As for public interest. The idea is that without regulation, new apartments and condos would choose not build parking pushing their residents to park on the street. This causes congestion (cars circling trying to find parking) and makes going to these areas less pleasant. And I'm sure some would say these regulations remove preexisting subsidies, since they prevent new developments from using city streets as their parking lot.

How do these other countries deal with the lack of parking? I think simply suggesting better public transportation and redesigned cities does not solve problems that people are having right now.

I think that had he, as warden, resigned/publicly opposed the executions they still would have happened. I think that as warden, he has many other opportunities for reform within his prison. I therefore don't think that he has a moral obligation to resign/publicly oppose the executions. We live in a society of broken systems. If we have to protest every wrongdoing that we encounter, we wouldn't be able to get anything done.

As to the warden's own lack of "the faintest sacrifice to oppose it" and "bending over backwards". What do you consider an appropriate sacrifice for an ordinary citizen who opposes capital punishment? Campaigning for more progressive political leaders? Communicating with state officials? How do you know he did none of these things? I don't have evidence that he did but neither do you have evidence that he didn't. I don't understand the condemnation of this individual you know only through an op-ed.

He failed to do any that you are aware of, with regards to this single issue of many that affect his facility.

I disagree that it is so cut and dry. Does publicly opposing a̶n̶d̶ or resigning prevent those deaths from occurring? Should all of the staff involved be morally obligated to hand in their resignation or publicly oppose as well? What of the other prisoners under his custody that he may feel responsibility for?

Quitting or publicly opposing may be the most conspicuous way of opposing the death penalty, but people need to be able to choose their battles.

Other people in this thread have already expressed my opinion far more eloquently than I could have. But I am wondering, do you think the protests that lead to the resignation of Claremont McKenna's dean is appropriate (besides the legalistic sense)? And if not, why is it different from the pressure that lead Brandon Eich to resign?

Huh. I thought many of those surprisingly good. Certainly better that what I see in local art galleries.

I love the Girl Scouts logo. Very unique and clever.

You've been able to do that for awhile.

Speeding up page faults does _directly_ improve build times. I don't understand why you think writing yet another make is the obvious direct fix, but fixing page faults is not. Or why you think Linus shouldn't fix things he is clearly interested in.

What?

"When a proposal to change a certain parameter is thought to have bad overall consequences, consider a change to the same parameter in the opposite direction. If this is also thought to have bad overall consequences..."

How is speeding up kernel build times a "bad overall consequence"? Thats exactly what Linus is trying to do.

"However, several languages have types in the second regard above (e.g. void * in C++, id in Objective-C, interface{} in Go), static types whose variables can accept any object value, but which do not reflect real runtime types that an object can have in the type system, so are not top types in the first regard."

Do you consider void* the same as Java's Object?

> The general argument I've seen has been that Proposition 8 was "just an opinion" or "just freedom of speech"

> need to have a position where Brendan supporting Prop 8 was not bad

The second statement _absolutely_ does not follow from the first. You can consider Prop 8 immoral and wrong, and still want it protected by freedom of speech.

And calling the internet's behavior "a lynch mob" or a "witch hunt" is not interfering with anyone's freedom of speech, so you don't have to worry about that.

> (the difficulty being that making someone feel unwelcome through overwhelming social pressure can't be labeled wrong in the "Eich was wronged" worldview, because then the overwhelming unwelcoming social pressure of Proposition 8 comes into play as a "well, he did wrong")

And why can't they both be wrong? Just because you did something unethical, doesn't mean I get to do something unethical to you.

And the idea that it is 'next to impossible to argue' that someone was wronged if they resigned is ridiculous. A trivial example is if an employee resigns due to sexual harassment in the workplace. They chose to resign right? Therefore couldn't have been wronged?
