Birth certificates are pieces of paper that literally anything identifying as a hospital can create 'offically'. It would be trivial to create a forged certificate, there are a ton of dark net sites offering them for sale. If the US $1 bill were this easy to create (it's not), it would be worth pretty much nothing.

this is a direct result of the war on drugs. the fentanyl and carfentanil coming from china are responsible. before these two were being imported at such high rates opioid deaths were 4,000 per year vs 400,000 for alcohol. Which at first was being blamed on fentanyl being prescribed legally, but was incorrect data.

16:10 is probably the second-most common aspect ratio after 16:9, so not really what I'd consider "custom".
Since when is the government actually held accountable by the public, or has ever felt accountable to the public? If anything, it's only ever "just enough accountable" so much as nothing leaks out indicating otherwise. And even when it does, it's "oh, look over there, snowden/russia/DPRK/whatever!"

Show HN: Frontend Performance Metrics
if you have any company knowledge, you forget or neglect to discuss it.

Given how the human brain works, that's very much impossible to do... "standing on the shoulders of giants" and all that, as the saying goes.

I'm sure some companies would love to be able to "reformat" employee's brains when they leave, but (fortunately) that's not the reality.
The article is arguing that it is the access to capital that makes entrepreneurs more likely to be successful, not genetics.
I'm kind of a slacker responding to HN stuff, but here's what I'll say:

Yeah, you're right, if shit isn't shipping, it's my fault.

But.

There are a variety of psychological profiles in computing, and they have various pluses and minuses. I need folks with kind of a... move fast and break things attitude. That's what I select for.

Furthermore, the 80/20 rule is a super real thing and the last 1% until a project ships hurts real, real, real bad. There are people who can push through that and there are people who can't. Yeah, it's my fault we're not sipping tea as we ship, but I've been doing this a long time and I'm pretty good at it, and I can't make that pain stop. I just can't. I've been on teams that shipped and suffered, and I've been on teams that didn't ship.

If somebody's cracked this code for me, man, throw me a bone. But while I'm always trying to do better, I also kind of have given up. I'll make it up to you on the other side, I promise, but it's gonna hurt a little pushing it out.

I think this article overstates things a bit. I have a Model S which has a bit more in the way of levers and buttons, but is still really minimal compared to most cars, and it's fine.

The Model 3 is lacking two main physical controls compared to the Model S.

One is the windshield wiper speed control. Both cars have a button to trigger the wipers manually. The S also has five speed settings physically accessible: off, auto-low, auto-high, continuous-low, and continuous-high. The auto wipers are pretty good (this is the old Autopilot hardware, the new Autopilot hardware still doesn't have the software for it) and so I hardly ever have to fiddle with it. I bet a bit of software and hardware improvement can take that "hardly ever" to "not ever" so I don't think the Model 3 will suffer here... once the auto-wipers are actually enabled!

The other is cruise control. The Model S has a separate stalk for that, which you can use to engage, disengage, adjust following distance, and adjust speed. The Model 3 has it on the PRND stalk and it's just on/off. I don't think following distance is a big deal. It's pretty much set it and forget it on my Model S. Speed adjustments are often handy, but a lot of that is because the car isn't totally reliable at figuring out the current speed limit. When it does, manual speed adjustments will be needed rarely.

The Model 3 controls are designed around intelligent driver assist features, but I don't think they're designed around anything close to full autonomy. They're really just designed around good automatic wipers and intelligent cruise control, both of which will probably be ready before most of us mere mortals can obtain one of these cars.
This is a press release by InstaCart assuring their investors and employees everything is fine. We know it's not fine when PR like this comes out
Is it only used by businesses? Don't you have to provide the SSN for your driver's license? If the government is using it as an ID across it's departments, then it is an ID.
I'm on the left, am extremely pro-union (I think tech needs to organize ASAP), and I'm troubled by public sector unions. Private sector unions have different incentives than public sector unions, and there's a pretty obvious track record of abuses among public sector unions.
One obvious exception to this is the blocker 'Ad Nauseum', which loads and clicks the ad in order to screw up tracking data.

It's not the most popular blocker, but it seems to me that the risk of false "impressions" exists.

I should ask the social media platforms what their position on this subject is and write a blog with my findings.

UPDATE: I've done that.
I agree with your assessment here. But the first thing I thought of when I saw this headline was fixing the fact that SSNs are massively bad as authentication. Instead of giving people a number to authenticate, we should be using public key crypto and digital signatures. If the Equifax hack is the catalyst that pushes us to public key crypto instead of SSNs, then I'm all for it.

Why bring "valid" into it? That really misses the point.
I think support for OpenCI will eventually come to other frameworks. But the main problem is the fact that AMD is still far from the NVidia in terms of performance. Vega couldn't reach the performance of 1080Ti, and with Volta next year, the gap is gonna drastically increase. If only AMD can fill the gap, the support, i'm sure, will soon come after that.
To see what this looks like:

1. Open xterm

2. If you use a fancy prompt with colors in it, turn it off (eg with "export PROMPT_COMMAND= PS1='$ '")

3. CTRL+Middleclick on the window, then "Switch to Tek mode" (it's near the bottom). Note that you must keep the mouse button held down and _release_ it over the option you want.

4. Repeatedly press Enter to make the prompt fill the screen; it will sail to the bottom of the left half of the screen (the left page) and then do the same on the right half (the right page).

5. "Page refresh by hand" in xterm means CTRL+middle clicking the Tek window and selecting PAGE or RESET.

Just to clarify, Tektronix 4014 mode uses its own escape sequences that are separate to the VTxxx series. So nothing you have installed will actually "work" in Tek mode. (One of the arguments for removing the code from xterm.)
If there is a fool born every minute, and we have 10 minute blocks, then this can continue ad infinitum and therefore produce a great medium of exchange and store of value.

I have access to both Amazon Prime Now and Instacart in my market. Prime Now has access to a high-quality local grocery chain, and Instacart has basically everything else including Whole Foods. That local chain is much better in terms of selection and quality than anything Instacart has, especially Whole Foods, which I find to be overpriced for pretty indifferent quality.

Despite that, the service quality from Instacart is so much better than Prime Now that I prefer to use them unless there's something I absolutely cannot get except from that local chain. I'm crossing my fingers hoping that the outcome of Amazon's acquisition is that Instacart loses Whole Foods and the local chain moves over to Instacart, because then I will never order groceries from Prime Now ever again.

By service quality I mean all of these: good judgment in selecting items like produce and meat (although the meat quality from Whole Foods is very inferior), ability to add items before the order is shopped (you can't do that even if you place an order for the _next day_ with Prime Now), ability to cancel or otherwise alter an order (I had to cancel a Prime Now delivery in an emergency, and it required calling customer service), interactivity in selecting substitutions, good judgment in selecting substitutions, and accuracy and granularity of order status page.

I'm not saying I haven't had the occasional bad experience with Instacart on any of those, but they're good enough that I'd trust them to get me the groceries I need before a party I forgot to shop for. Prime Now I wouldn't trust unless I knew I had a good fallback if they mess up.
Yep..

I ran a business out of high school / college summers networking up college kids in dorms. This was before computers came with ethernet cards by default and while dorms were being wired. My biggest mistake was not charging enough and not doing enough marketing. The university offered a similar service for 3x more than me.. I offered a flat rate including the card (which I got cheap.. easy drivers etc..) but I should have offered a choice of cards (fast, faster, fastest) and charged way more than I did as well as up sell (or sell an extended warranty or something...) It was a flash in the pan business only viable for 2-3 summers.

To follow up I also did computer IT consulting.. later and I still charged too little!! I guess one issue is that there is a ceiling on what you can charge (since you can just buy a new computer) unless it's in regard to recovering some important data... even then and nowadays you can just take the hard drive out and stick it in a usb enclosure, tell them to buy a new machine and call it a day.
Or, you know, maybe stop talking to homeowners, victims or not, and start talking to people who make locks and safes. Actual subject matter experts rather than targets.

CEOs, at best, will be proxies for whatever security personnel they have on staff and we have no way of evaluating the credentials of those security staff. At worst, they'll be advocating for policies that reduce their exposure/costs at the expense of greater overall fraud costs.

The senate should use their own knowledgeable proxy in this case. NIST has already shown itself capable of creating security standards of a reasonable quality. Run another public competition for a national ID system capable of replacing SSN and let real security professionals propose (and then debate) a way out of the current mess. Senators can then codify the results of that process into law.

A lot of the mistakes he did came down to poor financial planning. He even gave a raise to his employees when he sold his home.

This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some fifty miles of concrete pavement. We pay for a single fighter with a half-million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people. . . . This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron."

There is also the contention that increasing blocksize would make running full nodes harder (at least by some margin) which therefore means an increase in centralisation (by a proportional margin). It would also set a precedent that miners are in control (or alternatively it could be interpreted as no-one is in control). The question then transaction speed and low fees are more important than the marginal increase in centralisation. Core would argue that any increase in centralisation is too much. Not sure why they think middle men are acceptable though.

The 5-year headline is hyperbole. You can't just take the average persons' second-most-valuable asset, declare that it is worthless, then require an additional fee for them to use your fancy new podmobiles to get to work (on top of still having to pay off the auto loan.) The Economy (tm) won't be able to take it.

Therefore, I think the fancy new railcars cannot become dominant faster than (1 average car-loan period) after becoming available. The only way to make it happen faster is if the AI-tomobiles are free for people who still have car loans or the car companies offer to buy back existing cars for $(exactly what's left on the consumer's loan.)

So the more reasonable estimate is more like:

5-10 years to availability in (those few special cities)

10 years after that to widespread availability

~5-10 years after that to completely eliminate "the automobile as we know it."

Total: 20-30 years. Which includes Bob's "20-years to total conversion" estimate.

Let's remember that the first 4G phone came out circa 2008, and now nearly 10 years later, we still don't have anything close to nationwide 4G coverage.

Often there is a form of mutually assured destruction at play. Qualcomm and Intel have cross-hired major executives like Murthy and no one got sued.

I feel like non-competes are similar to parents these days. Everyone has tons of patents and everyone is infringing on everyone else so they just agree to pay licensing fees to one another and never go to war.

I’m certain AMD has hired their share of Intel people by now, its a no win.
I mean, two of them have pledged to give away their wealth, and the other is actively seeking ideas to do so.

If they’re giving it away anyway, what’s the problem?

I guess if you’re in that lower 50% of the US, it might sorta suck that Gates is sorting out renewable energy and malaria and not just directly giving you money? But it’s possibly a little repugnant to complain about it?

(Although I fully acknowledge it isn’t ACTUALLY poorer folk complaining about it, it’s moderately well off journalists fake-complaining about it to rile up other moderately well off folks on the internet.)
