Can you be more specific about the rhetoric you're referring to? "Liberal" means a lot of things, and the subtext behind different mentions of "white" people varies a lot too. If you're going to wade into this particular debate, you should be as clear as you can.

It's especially tricky on this thread, because you seem to be responding to a quote expressing concern about demographic changes in Texas, which carries a weird subtext of Latinos and African Americans somehow being responsible for ensuring that they remain minorities. That can't possibly be what you mean. So, what do you mean?
Well, they are definitely hacky to begin with, so I'm not sure if thats such a loss.

A very humane and insightful blog-post. If the internet had structures to amplify this level-headed opinions, instead of cresting into a wall of death between misogyny and moral-justice-warriors, it would be the better place - the better world adjoint deserves.

I like this perspective. Eberhart takes it to an extreme but it seems worth reflecting on:

"Shaving down one’s pack weight, he said, was a process of sloughing off one’s fears. Each object a person carries represents a particular fear: of injury, of discomfort, of boredom, of attack."
That's not remotely the same thing. In django, one specific file is looked for and imported if it exists, django then looking for an `urlpatterns` in it. No side effects anywhere. Just a default place to look for something, much like it does with models.py.
125 asa FP4 roll film (all monochrome and hand developed needless to say, I used a Rollieflex camera on a tripod when I was playing with this stuff decades ago).

I found the correction chart below on t'web [1] just now.

I recollect using 2.5x per stop over 1 second which gives slightly longer exposures than [1], but then I did tend to 'pull' the development a bit (contrast goes up), so a 2 minute metered exposure would be 2.5^7 seconds (10 minutes) instead of 2^7 seconds roughly. A 10 minute exposure on the meter corresponds to two hours and a very significant contrast hike - I recollect printing on grade 1 and grade half filter settings (multigrade paper). I only used extreme exposure times in old dark interiors e.g. churches in the UK in November or something. Inside so no need for any filters - not astro.

I'll dig a few prints out and scan them over the weekend. Nowt astounding. See if you can find a book about Edwin Smith if you are near a library with a very good photography collection.

I have a fantasy of using 10x8 film with a pinhole camera and just doing contact prints... but then I remember the darkroom days and the amount of water that got used up...

These anti-trust laws were originally created to whack railroad companies, which had huge capital investments and "natural monopolies".

Google does have some investment in its data centers, but people never make the explicit argument that the $11 billion/year in data centers is what causes them to be a monopoly. They make the much more abstract "market dominance" argument that I don't buy.

The only thing that I'd consider a monopoly in the same spirit would be the ISPs. It's stupid to dig up the streets twice just for "competition", so there's a natural monopoly. And it'd probably cost untold billions to rebuild it.
one problem w/ cmu education: it burns a lot of people out. I've known many a bright folk to go in flying high and come out just wanting to find something more relaxing to do. simply put: it's not for everyone. of course, many other top schools are the same way...
Unfortunately this story is archetypal for a post communist country like Slovakia. The state is essentially captured by mafia-like groups and oligarchs and many public services are irreversibly lost to rogue private companies with ties to politicians.
I'm not a privacy zealot by any stretch, nor a car engineer, but it's not really clear that this system will actually do much to improve safety anyway.

This won't be widespread for 20 years and the data quality coming out of cars will be very mixed.

It seems pretty ridiculous to invest in this rather than allocating funds to things that are both useful immediately and in the long term, like actually painting lane markings everywhere.
> It's only their marketing emails that need a "noreply" address

Do their marketing letters need a "noreply" address? "This letter comes from nowhere, you can not reply to this letter"?

Why do their marketing emails need it, then?

You would be incorrect. It's not really a grey area.

Good for you. But legally in the country I live in, what she described was assault. And if you experienced the same thing, it would also be assault. If you didn't feel it was assault, then you don't have to report it, of course, but that doesn't change what it is.

When someone says no, you can't decide that what they really meant is "would you please grab me and forcibly kiss me". That is not "annoying badgering".

so can anyone speak to what it entails to gain a taxi license? is this a burdensome requirement on those who want to drive? I have no issue with requiring specific insurance as anyone driving for any ride share service is just risking too much without proper coverage.

in the US far too much occupational regulation/licensing only serves now to protect current providers effectively locking out or deterring competition.

Ok, I've now had time to look at those comments and they're not 'entirely reasonable'; they contain elements that many people could reasonably object to and indeed flag as inflammatory.

To pick the most obvious, you use the word 'sexism' in a contentious way that is bound to land with many readers as trolling—and you didn't just do that once, you dropped it in numerous times. That's the sort of thing that leads to the feeling that the reasonable aspects of your comment are just a pretext, while the subtext is gratuitous provocation. I don't think you did that on purpose, but your claim that people were flagging 'entirely reasonable' comments arbitrarily is inaccurate. Just to be clear, my point isn't about the correct meaning of 'sexism'—it's that if you throw explosive footballs around, however unintentionally, your comment becomes subject to flagging for the sake of a non-flamewar discussion.

Many commenters are blind to the things in their comments that land objectionably with others. They're much (much!) too quick to conclude that the fault is all on the other side, that my 'entirely reasonable' comment is unjustly suppressed, and so on. If you want to get out of that loop you need to take a deeper, more reflective look at your own expressions. Then you can find ways to express your substantive point of view that aren't accidentally bound up with things that produce troll effects and you can participate in a (hopefully) higher-quality discussion.

As I mentioned upthread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14693838) flagging provides an important service by making a distinction between gratuitously provocative comments and the ones that express similar points of view more thoughtfully. The actual effect in the threads is to make substantive discussion between opposing points of view possible, because otherwise the flamebait would be overwhelming. Indeed it has been so impossible in the past that it's rather astonishing to see it beginning to happen, i.e. people beginning to hear each other and offer at least tentative respect across division lines. That would definitely not be happening if the more inflammatory comments weren't being flagged.
I keep seeing advice in the comments to skip breakfast and how great it is.

What about the common folk advice of "eat a hearty breakfast by yourself, share a lunch with friends and give dinner to your enemy"?
I think it's great when people take time to make visual explanations of things and share them. This has potential.

You get that the carousel existed before AMP, and didn't do any of this, right? No other page cache takes over the page like this. Digg died an early death, in part, by trying to do something similar. Taking over other people's pages...in their case an iframe.

What about the [x] button on the AMP banner being a back button to Google? Is that not odd? Don't most users expect an [x] on a banner to kill the banner and leave you on the page? Like the EU cookie warnings?
I was interested to see a comparison of cultures with varying degrees of numerology in their language. I've heard that certain languages make math much easier to understand, as factors and products are self evident in the way words for numbers are constructed.

One of the many horrible and unsettling realities of American slavery was the not-insignificant number of occasions in which slaveholders sold their own children into slavery.
For everyone who considers the Chinese Room argument obviously wrong (like me), here's two versions that are much stronger and might still make you uneasy:

In Greg Egan's "Jewelhead" stories, every person gets a computer implanted in their brain at birth, which gradually learns to imitate the input-output behavior of the biological brain. At some point they switch to the jewel full time and throw away the biological brain, becoming immortal. That's seen as a fact of life and people don't question it much.

In one of Wei Dai's nightmare scenarios, we ask an AI to upload humans in an efficient way. Unfortunately, since humans can't introspect into the idea of "I'm conscious" very deeply, the resulting resource-optimized uploads just have a handful of hardcoded responses to questions about consciousness, and aren't in fact conscious. Nobody notices.

Of course, both cases are problematic only if you can "optimize" a human brain into something else, which would mimic the same input-output behavior without being conscious. The trouble is that we can't rule out that possibility today. Humans certainly have a lot of neural circuitry that's a side effect of something else. Some of it might get optimized out, the way a human in a sealed room can be optimized to nothing at all. To rule out a "Disneyland without children" scenario, wishful thinking isn't enough, we need to properly figure out consciousness and qualia.

A lot of population, like 10%? [0]. And this is just one of many. It's not only form of help but prevention. Meaning, it's much healthier for people to do keto, than anything else.

> ? The topic was about keto being "under fire".

And I made a comment on overall dietary change. We don't know what a long time on keto will cause, but I believe people are much more eager to experiment and see than they used to.

have you ever thought where return on investment/capital comes from?

You can hire 100 people to make 100,000 needles a day by hand tools or instead build a $200,000 plant that make 10 million needles a day with three guys operating the machines. In both cases the profit goes to the plant owner, while in the second the cost of labor will be less than 3% of the receipts.

Unless you own taxi medallions, I don't really see much cause for celebration. Unnecessary regulation is unnecessary.

Edit: due to aggressive rate limiting on HN's part, I'm not able to respond to those who have chosen to reply rather than downvote. What I'd say in such a reply is this: despite all of the advantages of regulated taxi services that people are citing, rideshare services are still winning in the marketplace. Have you ever thought about possible reasons for that?

Clearly people aren't being forced to use Uber, and just as clearly, they shouldn't be forced not to.
Firefox is integrating a cookie feature from Tor called first-party isolation or double-key cookies. It will separate third-party cookies for each first-party site. If a.com and b.com both load images from evilcorp.com, Firefox will send evilcorp.com different cookies for requests from a.com and b.com. Blocking third-party cookies can break some site that rely on third-party resources, but first-party isolation should allow each site to work without cookie "crosstalk".

You can test first-party isolation now by flipping the about:config pref "privacy.firstparty.isolate" to true. Beware that there are still bugs that break some sites, which is why the feature is not enabled by default yet. If you find bugs, please report them in Bugzilla! Here is the Firefox bug tracking the integration and known bugs:

Problem... this broadcast approach isn't particularly helpful unless all cars have it. So to add this TCAS style solution to all cars might cost what? $100/car in equipment alone? For all 263 million cars in the US that would be $26 billion. Seems pricy when Tesla has a system today that solves this problem without all that infrastructure, or the privacy concerns?
Building a World of Acceptance: A Conversation with DeRay Mckesson
> This is a famous paper by John Maynard Keynes

Indeed, and it was the starting point of the thought-provoking book How much is Enough? [1, review in 2] by noted Keynes biographer Robert Skidelsky and his son Edward, in which they advocate for more leisure, of the enlightened sort, instead of more work. It's a good read, though short on actual solutions.

One concern both Keynes and the Skidelskys had is this:

> Yet there is no country and no people, I think, who can look forward to the age of leisure and of abundance without a dread. For we have been trained too long to strive and not to enjoy. It is a fearful problem for the ordinary person, with no special talents, to occupy himself, especially if he no longer has roots in the soil or in custom or in the beloved conventions of a traditional society.

> To judge from the behaviour and the achievements of the wealthy classes today in any quarter of the world, the outlook is very depressing!

(Keynes, 1930 (!))

Now, with the increase in inequality over the last two decades and stagnating real incomes for the bottom half, it looks like this problem will be confined to the "wealthy classes" a bit longer...

I've noticed this on my Pixel XL as well, though it's quite a bit more subtle than the video shows. Even right-side up, if I look below my finger instead of above it, the effect is noticeable.

I'm not technically qualified to say for sure, but orientation definitely appears to play a part in this. Clearly the repaint code in the display driver isn't orientation aware - at some point it has to loop through all the pixels and update them; if the screen is oriented 180 degrees, that loop should be reversed.
Depends on the country probably but it can include things like:

- Holding a regular driving license for n years

- First aid training

- Taxi specific theory/practical driving test

- Passing extra vehicle tests (I know where I'm from they used to require taxis to be fitted with small fire extinguishers for example).

- Background check
Depends massively between EU states.

Some it's relatively easy [edit: to operate as a "taxi" in a general sense, rather than the legal term], such as in the UK (pass a prolonged driving test, have commercial insurance, review of any criminal record as to whether they pose a threat to the public, though there's some variety between councils who are the licensing body especially when it comes to vehicles and equipment), others it's as bad (and expensive) as I understand many US cities to be like.
Even Nissan has a registrar, although I imagine the bill would have to get quite overdue before they'd consider canceling their domain name.
All these concerns are critical, and this is why I spent 6 months to build OPIC malloc prototype. I surveyed a lot on state of the art malloc implementations, as well as some POC papers. The model I implemented is similar to scalloc and supermalloc. I did a simple benchmark, the performance is identical to jemalloc. That's seems good enough for me for now. OPIC has potential to use even faster concurrency model dropping atomic implementation and move to urcu (user space rcu). However, this is not very necessary for a serialization focused malloc. The detail of how I implemented this malloc will be discussed in later post.

How many cars are in this scene? Did a care move in front of you and brake or have you encountered another car and lost track of the first one?

The updates are sent at 10 per second, aren't they? The basic concept of inertia will let you keep track of what cars are around you for collision-avoidance and even ad-hoc communication purposes. A car simply can't warp in or out at timescales faster than that.

You don't need to know that the cars you're tracking are the same ones you were tracking five minutes ago. There's no safety application for an ID feature.
I think the point here is that Google is not returning the best results but pushing it's own other services on top of the list even if in this case other review services are better.
People can compete with Google on quality of reviews. This is attempt to make Google less useful.

the broadcast system is certainly helpful if less than all cars have it. The proposal estimates the cost per car at 100-300 dollars.

> Seems pricy when Tesla has a system today that solves this problem without all that infrastructure, or the privacy concerns?

Solves it for those cars, and certainly at an expense higher than 100-300 cars. And it will only get better as it gets information from other cars.
This one is probably a bad example (there are some warning signs). But for people who don't get computers (willfully or not) it's useful to have things like this. There is a large portion of the market who is going to want things like this. And as Linux becomes more popular we can either build good ones and recommend them on all of the swap to Linux websites (or include them by default in common consumer oriented distributions) - a lesson windows learned - or deal with a ton of shitty adware infested bloatware variations. People are going to download things like these, and it's a question of whether they will be good ones or malicious ones.
