I'm not talking about motivation here, I mean the mechanics of "doing good."

Whom to give to, how much to give, how to follow-up after giving etc. It feels like there's way more friction in the process than for anything "commercial". Compare the experience to the ease of Instagram or FB or any large ecommerce site.

This has bugged me for a while now, but i'm not sure if i'm the only one. I've been trying to understand how and why people give. If you can, please check out this survey that asks about this "friction" in doing good.

Thanks
Sure you can. Morality is hard wired into our brains by evolution. We’re not yet capable to understand all the details of how brain works, but it’s all there in theory. It’s understandable that this line of thinking would not be possible in Hume’s time, but we know quite a bit more to move past some of these ideas.
Starlink currently cuts off minimum elevation at 40 degrees, with lower shells they'd eventually like to drop that to 25 degrees. Not sure where you're pulling these 10-20 degree numbers from but allowing it to go that low would actually create more problems than it would solve.

> That is, the things I mention are the reasons for the "density issue".

The things you mentioned were path loss, no need for beam stearing, possibility of wired backhaul, and density. I'm just saying the only one of those that actually matters is density, the others are really non problems as the equipment already exists, is reasonably priced, and works fine.
Directional antennas on the ground are a much higher risk from obstructions. Multipath propagation is essential for large wireless networks without building giant towers everywhere.
You might wanna tell the people of Oulu that Finns don't see cycling as a means of transportation: https://youtu.be/Uhx-26GfCBU

You don't maintain extensive bike infrastructure during harsh winters just for a few leisure cyclists.
Although I agree that no one comes close to the Dutch, the situation in Germany is not as grim as you describe it. The quality of cycling infrastructure varies from city to city and I guess it's safe to say that infrastructure is the main driving force in getting people on the bike. Münster isn't famous for nothing, right?
First time caller, long time listener. With a question! First, upboats. But what I really wanted to know was: does it work under water?
We were kids. It wasn’t even work. Just playtime, doing what we were interested in.
They certainly are. But my point is that if you're only servicing the same number of IO connections as you have cores, it's not extremely scalable.

Most networking servers should be dealing with hundreds or thousands of concurrent connections.
The TI offerings look geared towards low power and are kind of anemic on the high end with up to only 32kB ram and 256kB flash. ST/NXP/Atmel have parts with over four times that (and the ST eval board is also only $15). I know you can do a lot with a little (I used to design with pic16), but for higher level languages without runtimes optimized for embedded (eg rust), I'd want all the room I could get.
Most people think hackers don't have good personal hygiene skills anyway, so I think those companies could skate for a little bit if push came to shove...
It's similar to changing your ssh port: does it provide "real" security? No. Does it prevent the majority of automated attacks? Absolutely.

As a real world analogy, what about easily-climbable fences? Those are often a useful deterrent, and they make trespassing litigation more likely to succeed.

Not in this case - packets can be dropped by the route and the game player doesn't care as long as his connection is good enough to play. When it gets really bad the player will likely quit and the packets will stop.

If it is really desired you could implement throttling according to packet loss, but not in the way that TCP does it - by buffering and waiting - instead you'd just send packets every N frames. You can't do that if you're just using TCP since you don't know when packets are dropped.
I don't know where you're getting this idea. At its highest, it was less than 5% of total State spending.
For the purposes of 2FA implementations it doesn't matter why SMS is insecure, only that it is insecure. Since it's probably not within your power to force your telco to change their insecure business practices, avoiding relying on them for 2FA is your only alternative.
While counting columns will not include NULL columns, how about counting joined tables?

SELECT a.id, COUNT(b.*) FROM a JOIN b ON b.a_id = a.id GROUP BY a.id

is not permitted in Postgres.

Sure, I could just use COUNT(b.a_id) since that's what I join on, but a more complicated example might not allow for that. For instance if it was a virtual table.
Isn't there a "security-zone" around the large radio-telescopes where usage of most electronic devices is forbidden?
Ground clearance is good if you drive off-road or on very bad roads - you didn't mention that. If you drive on regular roads, 6 inch ground clearance is just fine, and you experience of the height at which you go to the car is not about ground clearance, it's about the height of the seat from the ground. For me, Touran class is very nice: I don't need to sit down or step up.

If you are 98 % of time driving on good roads, the generally lower center of mass makes things like a Touran or Toyota Verso safer and better to drive than a truck.

If you really need some more ground clearance, then there are things ranging from Honda CR-V (a very nice drive but a ground clearance closer to 8 inches) to Suzuki Jimny (a vehicle with actual off-road capability, but driveable on roads and small).

Of course there are people who actually do need a truck, but very often the cited reasons sound more like excuses.

Buying American, when you are yourself American, is of course a thing for many.
As someone not all that worked up over this, I don't find this kind of labelling and implicit conversation stopping all that convincing. I think it actually contributes to misinformation because it feeds into conspiracy theories and persecution complexes.

Other posts here attack the content of the post, which works better. It's probably also fair to critique the general approach if it is disingenuous in context.
The Hummer was also based on a US military vehicle from the gulf war, which gives it a lot of cachet with people who want a powerful (or want to project an image of power) vehicle. I don't doubt a lot of people will buy one of these things, but I don't see it coming anywhere close to the popularity of the hummer.
That's far from the admission of a mistake.

StackOverflow provides a good example of how this could work. They identify duplicates as you type the questions and have many moderators dedicating time, for free, on cleaning things up.

Of course that doesn't solve the difficult matter of actually fixing the bugs, but I'm sure the Android developers would sincerely appreciate it. Closing duplicates or reports with little information sets a standard for the bugs that do get fixed.
I don't know, I'm German and deal with US folks a lot, for me it's like this: Date written with slashes or dashes (3/11/2021 or 3-11-2021) implies US-based month/day/year. Date written with dashes and the year first and zero-padding (2021-03-11) implies year-month-day, aka ISO8601. Date written with dots and without padding (11.3.2021) implies my native format, day.month.year.

So? It would take hours to print each one. Five minutes snapping in the gears and shafts is no big deal. The children these toys are meant for have loads of free time. They could do that step themselves.

The problem is the price tag. None of those mechanisms are complicated. Simple gear boxes mostly. At the same time I was playing with Capsela I was also building those same gear mechanisms from scratch with Lego Technics.

If anyone is considering printing these, using off the shelf nylon gears would be a very good idea.
If the purpose of college is signaling, then that purpose is not achieved by a MOOC at all.

Also, colleges have a lot of other societal value (like research) so I certainly hope they can still get funded.

A reasonable model is that they sell certifications in hard work, perseverance, and maybe intelligence to students and employers so that they can fund scientific advancement. They also sell "meeting peers who might be cofounders", "social experience of living closely with lots of young attractive people", and a number of other similar things.
Thank you for sharing this. We share the same thoughts&feelings every day. You are not alone.
> How did it get value to begin with?

It never had value. It had a price. The price of silver in 1980 was $33 an ounce, by 1981 it was under $10 an ounce. Pets.com had a market cap of $220 million in early 2000, by November it was bankrupt. Subprime mortgages, Dutch tulip bulbs, history is replete with prices temporarily overshooting their values. The difference between Bitcoin and silver, or Bitcoin and underwater real estate, is that Bitcoin is a useless hash, whereas silver and real estate have some value.

> All fiat currencies

The discussion of the price and value of fiat currencies is too complex to really cover completely in an HN comment.

The question about fiat currency also doesn't mean too much for Bitcoins. The argument seems to be "it doesn't seem to make much sense that this piece of paper is worth anything, but since it is, that means that Bitcoin is worth something". I'm not really sure how that follows. If it did make sense, it would also make sense for Dogecoin and Stellar and Litecoin and Ripple to have million dollar market caps, which in fact, they all do (technically any how).

Technically, dollars had no value even before 1971 when you could exchange them for gold. They weren't gold, they were just papers one could exchange for gold. They were an abstraction of gold.

After 1971, the US closed the window on the 10,000 tons of gold it stores at Fort Knox and elsewhere. At this point the dollar becomes an abstraction of an abstraction.

A simple announcement from the president that the gold window is open again would always put a floor under the dollar. It's the reason the US spends so much to store 10,000 tons of gold. If not, why does the US store all that gold? Wouldn't it make sense to liquidate it and pay down US debt? Fort Knox et al store that gold to give value to the dollar.
Yeah, but who gets to decide what the cutoff for "porn" is? Any movie with a naked person in it? What if it's just a bare ass? What if it's a painting or sculpture?

Just like television ratings don't stop kids from watching violent tv, movie ratings don't stop kids from watching certain movies, and video game ratings certainly don't stop kids from violent/adult games, this would accomplish nothing...

It all comes down to the parents. They need to be on top of what their kids are doing online and the last thing we need is more useless censorship that protects nothing.
The funny part is that kids will be the first ones to figure out how to bypass this. Then daddy is going to have to go ask little Timmy how to turn on the real internet whenever he wants to look at some bewbs

You will probably get caught out the first time or two - they charge you a cheap up front price but then add lots of little charges for all kinds of extras (luggage, checkin, that kind of thing). Once you know the system it works well.
As an Indian citizen who lived in bangalore. I can tell you there are couple of more plausible reasons why police/politicians don't want late night hotels.
1) They can charge bribes from such clubs/hotels. This is single biggest reason.
2) Politicians can tell to conservatives that they are protecting Indian culture and get votes from them. Conservatives are more likely to vote than these club going crowd.

Specific intelligence might have been a reason but 1am drama happens very year in every South Indian city, so I am less likely to believe it.
I'm looking forward to the serious glass lenses getting smaller because sensors are getting better and smaller at the same time.

> Servo builds its own copy of Rust, so there is no need to provide a Rust compiler.

That's because it downloads and compiles it when compiling Servo. I wish they'd mention this.
I have heard of those certifications. Thank you for your advice. I will definitely check out these applications.

I guess I was just being lazy when I wrote that I don't have time. Of course, I have time. I took some time to ask this question, so I obviously care enough to put in time to learn.

My problem, I believe, was I didn't know if I putting in time to resources that I had myself discovered was worth it. This is coming from my experience on reading certain protocols' wikipedia entry, watching tutorials etc. and not gaining useful knowledge and understanding after spending dozens of hours into it. So I was being cautious of that.

So, what was missing, until now, was some guidance. With comments such as yours and many others here I have enough confidence that putting in time into these resources would not only be worth it but also would be an efficient use of my time.

So thanks for that as well.
Most American companies don't though. They can safely ignore european laws
It is _far_ more common than you think. A few years after I started at MS this guy was caught: https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2010/07/wh... I knew a lot of folks internally that worked with him, knew him, etc. and had _no idea_ he was a spy or agent. He was the model of a perfect employee or hire for MS at the time.
That means that Australians produce 2.45 times more CO2 per capita than Chinese do.
You may be underestimating the recruiting efforts and budgets of major nation-state intelligence agencies - Russia and China are doing exactly the same thing the US has been doing for a long time. Spending some tens of millions of dollars to accomplish inserting an advanced persistent threat inside of software used by some huge percentage of the US federal government is a tiny drop in the bucket of the budget of such agencies.

The main difference is that the US has historically accomplished it through a role in many cases as a vendor, or a supplier of essential high tech stuff (CIA/NSA and Crypto AG for instance).
>Nobody of any consequence or real size has ever used it for network monitoring.

At least one of the big 3 telcos uses it very extensively for network monitoring, inventory, device configuration enforcement and alert generation.

I'm an eye surgeon and self-taught machine learning practitioner, I started to learn Python in 2016 when the deep learning hype was at his highest.

After 3 years of research, playing with datasets, extracting and cleaning data from EMR and from different machines, I not sure that the biggest problem with the so-called "AI" is the inequalities that it can induce ; it is rather, is it useful at all ? This is a little bit provocative so let me explain.

First, it took me a very long time to really, fully get that AI is not fundamentally different from a simple linear regression (infering a rule from data). More powerful, but definitely, no intelligence added. Most of my fellow doctor colleagues still think that AI is special, different, like magic; I also thought like this before learning to code.

Scores inferred from data were used in medicine from decades and fundamentally, nothing changed with the AI wave. I'm extremely impressed with the performances of GAN for image generation, and with what allows deep RL in controlled environments (which the human body is not): however, I can't see any applications of those technologies in medicine.

Ok, Deep Learning allows to analyze images with a great level of performances. However, at the end of the day, nobody (informed) wants an AI diagnosis and the doctor will read the images. He will maybe have a pre-completed report : wow, incredible. We are very far from the disappearance of radiologists that Geoffrey Hinton took for granted a few years ago.

At this time, a team published in Nature a paper about a DL algorithm which could diagnose melanomas better than dermatologists, using a picture. Unfortunately, no real-life application. Why? Because when you suspect a melanoma, if you have any doubt, you won't take a chance: you will take a biopsy. What is the interest of guessing the result of the biopsy that you will do anyway, because if you guessed wrong, the patient dies? No interest.

I also realized that it is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to use data from EMR out of the box. Medical data is dirty, intrinsically, because humans are complex things that do not fit easily in little boxes. Hence, if you want quality data, you have to think your data collection in advance, and motivate all your fellow doctors to check the little boxes correctly. For many years (we are talking about big data, no ?) Of course, there is some exceptions, but most of the time the data cleaning process is extremely hard to perform (however, if a dedicated team of people with medical knowledge is concentrated on this work, things could be different. I had to clean the data myself).

I'll finish with the most ironic part : I dedicated a few years of my life to a topic where both optics and prediction from data are involved (intraocular lens calculation in cataract surgery). I tried a great deal of ML approaches, only to find recently that by better accounting for the optical specificities of the problem I was trying to solve, I obtained excellent results, better than with ML, even with a dumb multiple regression. Ouch. The lesson is : physics beats AI.

I would be happy to be challenged on this topic.

In French they have kept the term, and peninsula is "presqu'île", which means literally that :)
clang will actually optimize non tail recursive function as well. Check out the code in this question. It will not stack overflow.

Very good sense of humor indeed. I caught the "do you love me" question instantaneously and wondered who got that very good idea. As always, the good idea didn't came from the PR department :-)
There are some hints with this excerpt:

"Atlas’ current dance performance uses a mixture of what we like to call reflexive control, which is a combination of reacting to forces, online and offline trajectory optimization, and model predictive control. We leverage these techniques because they’re a reliable way of unlocking really high performance stuff, and we understand how to wield these tools really well. We haven’t found the end of the road in terms of what we can do with them"

e2e encryption is mostly moot considering neither the client-application nor -device are really trustworthy.

then there is the problem with push-notifications passing throu either google or apple as well as device-backups which both hand over your metadata and probably message content.

imo telegram is in a better spot simply because it is not affilliated with the facebook/google ecosystem but in the end it does not make much of a difference due to aforementioned systematic deficiencies.

I had no idea these things were possible. Are they currently insanely expensive / only experimental? How available are they?
> He was detained without arrest, based on minimal suspicions. Yes, he should have shut the hell up and not answered questions.

Minimal suspicions? A young male flying alone who refuses the scanner and sets of the explosives detector?

Yes, he absolutely should have been cooperative and answered their questions after that. I always refuse the scanner, but I don't complain afterward that I have to answer questions and get a "firm" pat down (there is nothing "firm" about them, btw, they are overly careful and respectful if anything).

And if I ever set off the explosive detector, my first reaction wouldn't be how unfair it was that "harried" employees were "rudely" explaining that my options were leaving or a private pat down. That would seem utterly reasonable to me.
I have two requirements:

1. I can walk to everything I need within a half mile radius from home, including most entertainment.

2. I can get married to my (also male) partner.

There are quite a few places in Europe that are open to me, but surprisingly few American cities. And that's why many of us are in SF -- we dislike driving and like liberals. :)
Aditya, if you're reading this: the next time a TSA agent threatens to call the cops, let them. If you hadn't made any outbursts, you haven't broken any laws.

Plus they'd be calling REAL cops. Ones that have to enforce and abide by real laws or actually face consequences.

When a user's disappointed with a product, they blame the creator of the product, not Apple. Not offering up good customer service would only tarnish his reputation. People will keep paying Apple no matter what, so they really don't care. People won't keep paying an unknown developer with 2 star ratings.
This was also a good and long article about how Apple pressures the press into being favorable to them in reviews:
