What tptakec is saying is that it's not the Jews that separated the e.g. assimilated Polish Jews as a category, but the Third Reich.

> But a lot of these ethnic Jews did not thing about themselves as Jews, as they were being shipped of by the trains to Auschwitz.

I don't know how you can say that especially bearing in mind the Nuremberg laws defined as someone with 3 or more Jewish grandparents. If you're that strongly Jewish by race, you're very unlikely not to have that as part of your core identity. And in any event, you're not addressing tptakec response to you with this.

> But for some reasons these people were "separated" by some people to show how much more their group suffered.

You may not have fully intended it, but that sentence comes across very poorly.

> To me it's infuriating that we talk about just one specific group that died, while ignoring the rest.

I don't know anyone that talks just about the Jews (you mean jews, right?) that died (were exterminated) and ignores the rest. It is an acknowledged fact that Jews suffered extermination disproportionate to any other race or nationality (90% of the 3 million Polish Jews, for instance). The only other group that's comparable when using the term Holocaust is the Romani (who's true numbers is still hard to hard estimate) who are mentioned (along with gays, the disabled etc.) in every reasonable discourse.

I'm pretty sure people who are lactose-intolerant tend not to annihilate on contact with lactose, but lactose is hard to digest for them and increasing amounts of lactose cause increasing problems. Same with gluten-intolerant / celiac people; "I told them this pasta was gluten-free and they didn't notice" doesn't prove anything other than you very slightly eroded their digestive tract.

As an analogy, I'm allergic to nuts but can usually successfully eat things with a small amount of nut content without even noticing, and foods fried in peanut oil are definitely fine. But if you tried to use that to claim I'm not actually allergic to nuts, you'd be wrong.

Compare that to boys who are supposed to be raised as more independent and tough. Is it possible that the way we raise boys versus girls is what's causing more boys to have trouble paying attention?

I don't know if "independence" and "toughness" capture what the author wants to talk about. There are cultures built around machismo in which male children are coddled and doted on by their mothers, where it is normal to be a "momma's boy" at home and a swaggering macho in the street. It's also possible to believe in the ideals of equality and interdependence in society at large while having zero emotional intimacy in the home.

That said, it's interesting that Japan has language for talking about this aspect of relationships. To me, it suggests a higher degree of uniformity in attachment styles compared to the United States, where talking about these kinds of relationships feels like a new social development associated with a progressive mentality. I think that historically in the United States, actual behavior at home has been all over the map. Different kids in the same classroom, with the same skin color, accent, and social class, are raised with dramatically different family relationships, often without realizing it until they are much older.

But there is a lot of transfer learning between classes. For example, the network may learn to detect "broad leaves" or "red stems" for a common plant. It will then be able to use those feature on less common plants, and require much less training data for them. Transfer learning has been shown to work with just a single image of a desired class.

It's also nice that life naturally fits into nested hierarchies because of evolution. So if you can recognize what family it belongs to, then that narrows down the possible sub families it can belong to. That in turn narrows down the possible clades it can belong to, etc, which narrows down the exact species. You couldn't find a more perfect use case for hierarchical softmax!
Many telephone companies will read texts aloud if sent to a landline number. Sometimes I text my parents that way.
The case that I have heard is that the decisions will be taken (or rather have been) by a team of software engineers with problem-fixing methods that are meaningfully more efficient at getting the rate of accidents down than someone promising to themselves they’ll drive sober and well rested “next time”.

In reality, the problems encountered by cars are fairly classic and predictably where computers can be very good at: computer vision, 3d projection and modeling, project patterns, control loops (stearing vs. drifting). The beginning was expectedly bad, but is it not a stretch to imagine those solvable, just like Moore’s law and expecting cheaper electronics with mass-market “makes sense”.
If you make $100k, you probably net at least $70k after income taxes. The GP could double his rent and still have over $40k per year to spend on childcare.

So something is still not adding up.
One of the things filesystems provide is a mapping from paths to data (files, directories, etc). How they provide this varies (tree of path elements, etc), but saying they don't think about paths (and implying they only think about path elements) is misleading. Nothing prevents a file system from simply putting all it's path to data mappings into a hash table (except the slight difficulty in implementing some common filesystem operations).
If you have to ask, the answer is yes.

what is the validation strategy to show where driverless cars can quantifiably improve?

One big way in which automated drivers could improve traffic: By not being a jackass. I remember at one point driving down Westheimer, which is four lanes wide and one of the major thoroughfares of Houston, when I had to slow down for someone making a right turn to merge into traffic into a middle lane while their head was buried deep into the passenger side footwell looking through their stuff.

Then, there are the people who feel like they have to tailgate you within 6 feet during rush hour traffic on the highway. Also, the people who won't let you in for some personal justice you can't possibly understand.

It would only take a smallish fraction of cars implementing the "stay between" algorithm that CGP Grey mentions in his video to significantly improve traffic.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHzzSao6ypE

I've implemented this algorithm manually. (Much easier to do since I have the instant accelerator response of an electric car.) It does seem to improve traffic flow. Also, jackass tailgaters are sometimes confused by this, and decide to pass.
Yay capitalism. Everything is a product or service, everything should have a profit motive, there is no such thing as a right to education, health care, justice, you only get what you can pay for, or are entitled to by the superiority of your family name and blood line. The state has no business here.

That is exactly what this is. Old fashioned conservatism.
These are good techniques for working a network but you'll need better advice than "be human" if you want to be influential.

Networking is overrated. Figure out what you're good at and make sure people hear about it. The network will take care of itself.

> For example, from a filesystem driver's perspective, "file descriptors" don't exist! Instead, read(2) and write(2) calls are stateless

That seems hard to believe. It would inefficient to look for a file for each e.g. write(). I guess a filesystem defines its own implementation-defined open-file handle and the kernel translates that into an (integer) FD.

> each call getting passed a kernel-side io-handle struct that must get re-evaluated for matching permissions on each IO operation. (You can do some up-front evaluation during the open(2) call, but, given that a file's permissions might change while you have a descriptor open to it, there's not much point.)

That's not how it works. File modes are checked when you open the file. Once you have an open file (a file handle), the file modes no longer matter.

File modes are more a "PATH" thing (there aren't per-filesystem variations and I assume permission checking is not done in file system code), although the file system must allocate the space to save the file mode bits and implement the VFS API.
You can go outside. Just do it with a Gore-tex jacket and brimmed oilskin hat on. It's like an umbrella that won't evert in the wind or act as a lightning rod.

Football is the unhealthy sports obsession of the South. You would think that in February, after the pro season ends, you would get a reprieve from it, but no, you don't. Baseball is the alternate sport. Basketball is a legend from a distant land, and nobody even knows what a hockey is. Stanley Cup playoffs are happening right now, and local television news would rather air a 10-minute story about some high school football team practicing for next year's season instead of 10 seconds just saying that the Senators beat the Bruins. If you don't love football, you will get so sick of football.
Actually seems just that some css didn't load properly.
I liked the article but it doesn't explain how to start a network... much of its advice is about how to manage an existing one.

Examples: it mentions that you should sometimes offer stuff to people you already know, instead of only interacting to ask. But what to do when your network is nonexistent and you have nothing to offer?

Generational, dynastic wealth seems grossly un-American to me.

A 100% tax on the estate when someone dies seems totally legit. They're not going to need it, wherever they're going. If they want to give it to their kids before they die, then we can kick in the ol' gift tax or income tax.

That way we can make sure we don't have wealthy families where money ends up concentrated, decade after decade, displacing a disproportionate amount of political power.

There's nothing more un-American than a wealthy ruling class.

I lived in the Orlando area for a few years. Finding software shops is challenging (there are some, but you haven't heard of them), but there is a fair amount of defense contracting work. So, if you can get over the fact that your probably working on weapons systems or something related, the work definitely can be technically challenging. Plus, both UF and UCF have pretty decent comp sci/comp engineering programs so there is local talent, but it doesn't tend to stay in the Orlando area.

Classic keynesian vs classical economics. Not all spending is good, and savings and investments can increase productivity.

As I mentioned, the expiring bill would increase consumption but it would also be "wasteful". Someone unable to leave a business to a son might be tempted to build a huge gold statue in the middle of nowhere. Luxury goods would become a much more tempting market, even though the experiences they provide are of very limited value to society as a whole.

Also, figure all the big companies that couldnt exist because there is no legacy, every business owner would sell his business in life and frivolously spend all that money.

That is, if you were able to prevent people effectively from leaving money to their kids, which I assure you, its impossible.
What does "general welfare" then mean?
You're indicating that you rent for less than $1250/mo. A studio is out of the question at that rate; even a room in a shared apartment would be unlikely. People I know paying that little money for housing are an entire BART line away from the city (Richmond, Pittsburg, etc), have several roommates or a working spouse, and need cars.

What do you pay for housing, what kind of housing is it, and is a lease like yours available to newcomers who don't have your grandfathered status or connections?
> Is he more of a "villain" than Trump?

Trump is a chest-thumping buffoon, but he's also a "manly man" -- just look at how he made Marco Rubio apologize for obliquely questioning his penis size, while shamelessly bragging about being well-endowed. He was also willing to tap into America's latent racism, something I doubt Zuck could credibly do. He doesn't have a good story besides "technocrat in chief," and many people will just see the oblivious, arrogant nerd who spent his high school years getting chocolate swirlies.
So this is something juicero's mixer would have caught easily (the recall aspect).
That's what I was thinking too. If your mortgage on your 3br in Oakland is $1MM, your payment is $4,728/mo (interest portion is tax deductible but let's ignore that). Let's say your place is $1.5MM, that's another $1500 in property tax (also tax deductible but again, let's ignore). If you're bringing home $15K/mo, then you're still left with ~9K per month. That's a lot of rice and beans.

The cabin is has more sensitive cargo than the hold. Whereas an explosion or explosive deflageration in the hold is contained in engineered luggage bins, buffered with clothing padding, and placed in a random location, in the passenger cabin it could be placed at a specific point. Also, the environmental system pumps to the hold sections can be turned off to cut fresh air to any fire.

Comparatively, the notion that some passengers will act meaningfully to put out a fire in the cabin is laughable, it would be a mass panic and everybody and dying.

However, with 200g of high explosive, and an aluminium laptop to form an explosively formed penetrator, there is going to be a big hole in the plane no matter where it goes off. Compared to the stuff being used against coalition forces in Iraq a few years ago, no particular technical challenge. So quite worrying.

Answer here depends on what you're hosting and doing for the bank but generally...assuming you do not require complex integrations into BBG or proprietary tools you should be able to host off-prem. We fought hard for it and eventually got through and our clients greatly appreciate it (we can update very quickly). The key here is selling through the front office instead of the back-office. The golden rule of selling software to a bank is that clients value making a dollar more than they value saving a dollar so do your best to position your solution around that and target the front office. They'll ram it through the system if it indeed is true. PS: happy to chat further "offline/hn". Email me (in profile)

EDIT: Assuming your service is SpiderOak, from my experience/perspective this would be a very hard sell to a bank. They have (albeit inferior) solutions for this and will not trust a third party to do it easily. I wouldnt even know how to go about selling it given you would have to go through the COO and vendor department. We offer a "similar" service in that we host virtual data rooms that contain tons of proprietary / confidential data. The difference is we do it in the context of a transaction (a front-office P&L event) which makes it a much easier sell. It's also not permanent.
Fair enough. I agree that there's no way they'll be allowed to be sold as a consumer product to operate hands-free on regular routes unless they become regarded as substantially safer than the median driver.

Maybe on different OSes, but like I said above, on Linux, many operations will literally just pass a filesystem driver an inode. Your hypothetical driver would need to keep a double-mapping: from inodes to paths, and then from paths to whatever else. At which point, why bother with the second mapping? It's just slowing things down.

> you would also reduce learning by an equivalent amount...

Can you justify this claim? It's easy to observe that current students who take the same classes differ in the amount of learning they do.

I see no reason to believe that different students taking the same class schedule consisting of 0 classes would suddenly all learn the same amount. It seems more likely that they would continue to differ in the amount of learning they do.
Can you elaborate a little more on the activities here being 2x more difficult? I'm curious because this is a metric I use when comparing quality of life between NYC and SF (I made the move about a year ago). Activities like laundry, grocery shopping, and commuting I find easier in SF than in NYC, even though some of the salient variables haven't changed much (e.g. in both cities I don't have in-unit laundry so I go to the closest laundromat).

Not to say things aren't harder here than in most places. Just having in-unit laundry seems like something most non high-COL, urban-dwelling Americans take as a given.

> When I lived in the Bay Area it seemed that too many people I interacted with were of similar backgrounds: very educated, high income and similar political and social values.

I think this is one of the most important things as a whole. I am in Iowa (a red except for the counties holding the ~5 largest cities) and have a friend who is in DC. She said she mentioned having a couple friends from high school who were conservative and that made her weird in her friend group. The rest were in the DC bubble, effectively not knowing people from "the other side" on a personal level.

The political polarization is really bad for the country. The concept that you can agree with the left on some issues and the right on others isn't popular. Personally I take the position that the "true, objective best" (if there was such a thing) solution is closer to the middle than the far right or far left.
This is true, but likewise the entirety of Europe and much of Asia and the Middle East suffered to. Here in the UK, no-one commemorates the British civilian victims of German Bombings, as one tiny example. Likewise civilian victims of other 20th century wars.

WW2 was a western world international trauma with no-one unscathed, and various groups suffering to different unimaginable degrees.

But the Holocaust, in its extreme brutality and relentless focus on racial genocide by a civilised Western nation, was a different level altogether.
