Thanks for the feedback, however I did not call the community's opinion pathetic, nor did I state a bunch of ifs. In fact I did not even use the word "if" that I could find, nor did I state conditionals in any other way. I did say there was a pathetic lack of rational discussion, and I was not referring to HN specifically, but instead the general public discourse.

I did not comment "for the sake of disagreeing," but rather because I strongly disagree with the prevailing group think going on. This policy was poorly presented to the public, but that does not excuse its butchering, nor the wholesale dismissal of the TSA.

I also think it's wrong to pile on a bunch of decent people working as TSA agents just because of a couple bad anecdotes that made the news. Further, I think the rationale behind the policy, ways to limit abuse, and the trade-offs should be the subject of discussion. Instead it's a bunch of "fuck the police" without consideration for those of us in favor of having secure airline flights.

I don't see how being searched for weapons and explosives before boarding an aircraft is a violation of privacy, and finding ways around a more thorough search does not mean a more thorough search shouldn't be implemented.

You are free to fly your own plane without such searches, or to drive, walk, take a train, etc - however if you get on a plane with other people you simply do not have a right to not be searched, any more than you do when entering a courthouse, having a private dinner with the President, or going to a nightclub. Those policies are implemented to counter real dangers and threats, and your right to privacy does not prevail here.

I just got off a flight from OAK-SEA without incident or encounter, a few helpful pointers, and plenty of courtesy.
I was in mail contact with him and he made clear that I should do "whatever I want" with the uncopyrighted material.
"If it makes it impossible for me to fire you because you are smoking pot as a result of productivity loss, it's impeding on my rights, sorry. The California law would have made it "discrimination" to do so, which is just ridiculous."

So you're saying that you're unable to fire someone who doesn't perform as well as you wanted (be it because of pot or sheer incompetence)? I don't think that's actually true... Sorry.

"Do you want someone under the influence flying airplanes, driving a school bus, or operating machinery that could potentially harm others? Seriously? I've seen enough people high to know how scary a thought this truly is."

Do you want someone under the influence of alcohol flying airplanes, driving a school bus, or operating machinery that could potentially harm others? Seriously? I've seen enough people drunk to know how scary a thought this truly is.

Wait...

"Right. Because a drug that many times causes short-term memory loss and paranoia is going to help someone's productivity."

Yeah, as we all know no drugs ever have negative side effects while still having positive effects. But okay, I agree that high people are less likely to perform well. All that is, however, besides the point: if they don't work well, you can fire them. You don't have to bring up pot to make your case; they aren't doing their job well, they're out. The law allows you to kick people out because they don't do the job well.

Again, how many people do you see coming to work drunk? I'd guess not many. Why do they not come to work drunk? Because they wouldn't be able to perform very well. Why do they care about performing well? Because they want to keep their jobs. I don't see how anything would be different with marijuana.
If he's facing civil penalties, I doubt that's correct.

And you can definitely film and record in the security area as long as you aren't interfering.
But Silverlight on MacOSX isn't 'OS-level DRM'
These new policies should improve TSA recruiting efforts, at least among the pedophile fraction of the population. Anyone who thinks the stories are exaggerated should check out:

Folks experiences are consistent.
Thanks for pointing that out. Skimmed right past it.
Friend's suggestions are highly valued, especially for large ticket tech items where the options are endless and often seemingly the same. Those who are not tech-savvy have no idea what model camera, monitor, computer etc to buy. My family is always asking my advice for these things, and I'm sure if Facebook released some kind of recommended-by-your-friends product search they'd take it to quickly. Variety and freedom of choice is not always seen as a good thing, in those areas where someone has little experience of purchase.
That's not true for police officers in two party notification states; I'm not sure whether this applies to private citizens or not.

In Illinois and other two party notification states, you can't record audio of police officers in public places [1]. Video is fine, but since all video cameras record audio, it's a bit of a Catch-22. People get arrested all the time in two party notification states for video taping law enforcement and it's because of the audio function of their device.

It will take generations before China will recover from the Wuhan virus outbreak. However it happened, because of the CCP suppressing facts, people, and information, the harm to any credibility the Chinese government had is gone for some time. This could have been the China century, but for generations there will always be that doubt.
Yes, and this is the 'Grey Lady' - bastion of credibility and objectivity.
We would rightfully mock a company that said that its turnover problem, its innovation problem, or its project failure problem was due to a lack of courage among its workers.
You're not going to find the solution buried in a random hacker news comment thread.

But step one is to acknowledge that systemic racism exists in the first place. Half of the voters in the country explicitly deny the existence of systemic racism and the need to change anything at all.
Also noteworthy is Dr. Fauci has been a long time proponent and sponsor of gain of function experiments as head of the NIAID, the infectious diseases arm of the NIH.[1]

After a few different US lab leaks involving anthrax, smallpox, and avian flu in 2014 the Obama administration put a ban on the fuding of gain of function research.[2]

The ban was eventually overturned in 2018.[3]

Probably not just keyboard, Mouse over USB, but also switching video over USB with just one USB-C cable.

That sounds like a great idea. Wonder how big the market would this be....
I remember that at the time when we were masking up in the Czech Republic (first half of march, maybe..?), WHO was actually talking a lot about the dangers of face masks when used too eagerly and improperly. Or at least that was what had gotten through our mainstream media.
Worldwide rem0te? Any other ways to apply, e.g. by email?
It is a pitty that a standard does not exist to allow this very interesting and useful softeware to be available in all Scheme implementations (even with small changes).

At least Guile is FOSS.
How does that help the World fight the pandemic? All that does is provide a reason for political actions, that people already want to take, to stem Chinese power and maintain USA imperialism.

If a country choose not to shut its airports doesn't mean your country has to accept incoming flights. If a country thinks people are coming in with a pandemic disease and don't shut the entry points (ports/airports) that's on that country's leadership.
That's kind of what I have always thought would be a reasonable way to approach it...I'm not doing UI development,so I can't speak to the API diffs. Are there major gaps in functionality?
I actually discussed this idea with professors at my university, but the general consensus was that it was too ambitious/complicated to work into the current system.
To me it is a very difficult problem to discover good books to read. At present I am without a good book.

How do you go about it?
I would assume this was to protect against falling champagne flutes.
If by "the platform" you mean "available computing hardware", then yes. I'm not sure that's a useful data point.
With LEO satellite internet, would download/upload speeds be symmetric (like SDSL) or would uploading be much slower (like ADSL)?

When I was evaluating engines for Hype Pro's [1] physics system, I compared based on file size, commit/project activity, how easy it would be to modify and integrate, and the license (for obvious reasons). I looked at Matter.js, Verlet, PhysicsJS, p2.js, JPE, Newton, and box2d-js. While many have their respective strengths, overall Matter.js stood a notch above the rest. The code has been easy to work with and Liam has also been responsive in fixing bugs or accepting patches. It is truly a gem of a project.

I'm actually buying less processed food now than before (funnily, this has also reversed the mostly recyclables trash trend in the household). Not especially expensive ingredients, generally substituting similar cheaper meats. One note is that we've been testing the paleo meal plans. A week of that pretty quickly ate up a third of the $450 budget. Representative meal plans for the rest of the month:

Dinner - http://emeals.com/meal-plans/30-minute/emeals-30-minute-fami...

Breakfast - http://emeals.com/meal-plans/breakfast/emeals-breakfast-plan...

Lunch - http://emeals.com/meal-plans/lunch/emeals-lunch-plan.pdf

Lots of fun little optimizations could be made here and in fact that's something I've been playing with. 2 months ago was baseline "exactly as the meal plan dictates" month, the next month I rotated Paleo -> Budget plan after we spent the first third of the budget, this month we are choosing half of the meals off of the family size 30 minute meal plan. Next month might include larger meals so more lunches can be made from leftovers, but I really enjoy a lunch that's not the same as a previous dinner. Brightens the middle of my work day.

Crunching numbers, I was actually replying to nahname spending $100cad/week/person == $80/week/person. $450 is $56/week/person. $8/day feels damn good considering that's a combo meal at Wendy's!
In a damned material! If you have the right terms giving a coupling between the electromagnetic field and phonons, yes, yes that's what happens. No, in free space, there is no such coupling.
Quite interesting, and yet I've been using vim daily for a few years now. The learning never stops :)

Is this how SnipMate, UltiSnip etc work under the hood?
The site is just showing off the ability to move colorful shapes as you scroll. There's pretty much zero information on it. Just some "hire us, we'll make your branding awesome" blurb at the end. It's an ad piece for a studio.

Really enjoyable easy read.
Yes, integrations are a real value. I've seen a lot of it working in self-hosted Gerrit, but there was a dedicated maintainer for the project who among other things implemented these.
What's my LinkedIn to sign up for the beta, really? expecting to get real answers to that one?
I think it's more a consequence of not tidying up. There are irrelevant issues open from 2008. On the other hand I prefer 1.7k issues to project where they aggressively auto-close tickets
Speculation. Service provision, infrastructure provision (hosted nodes).

It's not very good for payments (that are small and/or frequent -- and no Lightning is bad too (state channels are capital-inefficient)) despite what zealots would have you believe and it's not very well decentralised on a geopolitical level either.

Bitcoin is a good introductory MVP example of what a blockchain is and it's greatest contribution is Nakamoto Consensus.
Yes, I don't really see impressive language (i.e. GPT3) results here? It seems to morph the images of the nouns in the prompt in an aesthetically-pleasing and almost artifact-free way (very cool!).

But it does not seem 'understand' anything like some other commenters have said. Try '4 glasses on a table' and you will rarely see 4 glasses, even though that is a very well-defined input. I would be more impressed about the language model if it had a working prompt like: "A teapot that does not look like the image prompt."

I think some of these examples trigger some kind of bias, where we think: "Oh wow, that armchair does look like an avocado!" - But morphing an armchair and an avocado will almost always look like both because they have similar shapes. And it does not 'understand' what you called 'object concepts', otherwise it should not produce armchairs where you clearly cannot sit in due to the avocado stone (or stem in the flower-related 'armchairs').
An ICBM hitting a target purely on internal guidance is an entirely different level of problem from what SpaceX is doing with cooperative positioning systems at the target. Also keep in mind that the "wikipedia numbers" for classified weapons systems are usually "at least" numbers, not exact.

It's not at all clear who has more data between GOOG and NSA. Both don't exactly declare the numbers, but it is known that in several recent years NSA has been the largest single buyer of spinning disks in the world.

Tech companies have indeed become powerful, but let's not get hyperbolic. The world hasn't become shadowrun quite yet.
The parent site is also mine. Believe it or not some people have occasionally said that's cool too, despite the scammy domain name! (It's not that bad is it!?)

The lidar map is kind of a side project within a side project. It's the first and so far only experiment within the 'Lab' section of the parent site (https://houseprices.io/lab) where I had intended to try all manner of stuff with mapping and open data etc.

It didn't exactly grow to be another Google Labs in the end. It did last longer though.
To be clear, I’m fine with people doing whatever they want; I just don’t want to encourage it when it’s selfish behavior. I am not telling you what to do, and if you’d like to pay Wikipedia editors, I won’t stop you.
Even before influencing behaviour (which is not inherently wrong, by the way. Everyone tries to influence others all the time) the aim of advertising is to make your product or service known, it's to make potential customers know that you exist so that if they need what you sell you at least have a chance that they'll buy it from you. Advertising is an essential part of a market economy.

It's always useful to go back to basics: Let's say I'm a teenager and I want to make some money to buy a new bike by mowing lawns. Will I just sit on my front porch and hope that my neighbours will read my mind? Of course not, I'll advertise by knocking on doors or distributing flyers.

Then, targeted advertising is putting flyers only in the mailboxes of houses that have a lawn instead of distributing at random.

Banning advertising altogether is at best an ill-thought-out position, at worst a call to enforce a planned soviet-style economy. Banning targeted advertising does not seem much better (of course the article qualifies this proposed ban as only being "on the basis of pervasive tracking", not general).
It's a great data description language, but was NOT fun to work with, semantically.
Both my parents are vegan, thin, active, eat basically the same things but one has "bad" cholesterol numbers and one has good. We know so little!

Tagged interchange formats like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interchange_File_Format were IMO much better to work with than XML from a programming point of view.

If I want something free-form text based, I've been more happy with e.g. YAML based formats.
tambourine_man mentioned this above, but at the end of the video they said that the next version would be in swift.
In quite a few of those episodes, the fizzled opening plot would be "surprisingly" resolved in the last act.
I once saw a TED conference[1] about a project called Patients Like Me (http://www.patientslikeme.com/)

From their website:
"Our goal is to enable people to share information that can improve the lives of patients diagnosed with life-changing diseases. To make this happen, we've created a platform for collecting and sharing real world, outcome-based patient data (patientslikeme.com) and are establishing data-sharing partnerships with doctors, pharmaceutical and medical device companies, research organizations, and non-profits."

My guess is that your salary fit into the band of the lower title. And somebody thought they were doing you a favor by creating room for promotion. Very odd that nobody would have said anything, though. You mention salary is as promised. Are there any other differences, like number of options,bonus calculations, etc?
Copy on write filesystems describe changes as a structural diff, effectively.

Can confirm. It’s pretty easy to elevate heart rate while doing HIIT. Even if you do it for 10 years.
100% agree - never realized this when I got into the sports. Cycling lets me go deep into thought and break things apart. Mountain biking is all action so you can actually tune out.
So it only errors if you try to access a page in which no byte has been initialized ?

That is, if a program writes only to the 0th byte of a page, this tool won't warn on it reading from the 42nd byte ?
Rubbish? No, I liked your analogy. :)
Oh, well, as long as it's just children we are eartagging like animals in a science experiment, sure, I am down with that. Nevermind my previous objections in the name of freedom and privacy.
Modern MBAs (at least the one I'm doing) very much take care to focus on factors beyond solely profit. Examples are the concepts of business sustainability and the different levels of maturity organisations can occupy within that, and the 'triple bottom line' (taking into account impact on society and the environment, as well as economic impact).

Awareness of these factors can go from simply recognising them (lip service), to defining business performance by them (living and embracing them).
Aren't shareholders responsible for this as well? In the end, the buck stops with the owners of the company. We feel bad blaming them, because in most cases "them" is "us"--various institutional investors we've delegated responsibility for handling our capital--but active investors could have defended against this kind of failure.
This already occurs with SOX, it's definitely a workable model for processes and decisions not just impacting the finical statements.
> Some speeches are omens to terrible actions and they are usually supported by symbols

Absolutely. Which is why the US Supreme Court has continually debated and weighed First Amendment tension against public safety.

To my knowledge, the Confederate battle flag has never flown in the US Capitol. Not in July, 1864, when the Confederate Army stared at it across 6 miles and lightly defended lines [0]. Not after 1939 when it was hoisted in film by Gone with the Wind with sanitized nostalgia for an antebellum past [1]. And certainly not in the 50s and 60s when it was appropriated by the reborn Ku Klux Klan to represent their racist beliefs [2].

But it has been present at all three instances of armed insurrection against the US government -- Civil War, first US terrorist organization, and modern, militant Trump supporters.

And ultimately, it's those people's actions, not their ideas or symbols, that are dangerous.

As Justice Louis D. Brandeis wrote in Whitney v. California [3], by way of Jefferson's views [4]:

"[Those who won our independence] believed that freedom to think as you will and to speak as you think are means indispensable to the discovery and spread of political truth; that without free speech and assembly discussion would be futile; that with them, discussion affords ordinarily adequate protection against the dissemination of noxious doctrine; that the greatest menace to freedom is an inert people; that public discussion is a political duty; and that this should be a fundamental principle of the American government.

They recognized the risks to which all human institutions are subject. But they knew that order cannot be secured merely through fear of punishment for its infraction; that it is hazardous to discourage thought, hope and imagination; that fear breeds repression; that repression breeds hate; that hate menaces stable government; that the path of safety lies in the opportunity to discuss freely supposed grievances and proposed remedies; and that the fitting remedy for evil counsels is good ones."

To consign evil to the shadows is no victory, for there are always shadows.

> [Apple] is seeking a lead engineer to integrate “audio drivers, tuners, speakers, microphones, wired buses, power supplies, wireless communication, and antennas” into autonomous systems.

As an outsider to this space, it’s always puzzled me that Elon constructs a dichotomy between lidar-based and vision-based self-driving.

I find that I rely on my hearing nearly as much as my eyesight. Especially to detect dangerous conditions that demand quick decisions, I find that hearing is the most important of the senses.

Does anyone know the extent to which microphones and audio processing feeds into Tesla or Waymo or other self-driving systems?
