With separate dedicated identifiers and matching reconstruction pipelines, while only caring about a limited number of things, as in our specializing in faces, we can reconstruct 25 to 30 independent people, their heads and shoulder tops only, in real time on a 3.4 GHz i7. Note the reconstruction is accurate only as far as it matters for FR, as in we tend to ignore hair. So the models are bald, but they have the frame to frame facial expressions for everyone. Here's a gif of a degraded lighting test at 70 fps with one head doing a 3D reconstruction independently performed each frame: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0jtee4ofh2vdeg0/BlakeHeadMeshes.gi... I'm just visualizing the face, but the entire head and shoulder tops are reconstructed.

Harley owners groups even distribute guides as to which areas are 'unfriendly' towards them (eg, actually care about excessive noise).

As a rider, I can't want until Harley crashes and burns. Ungodly loud and ungodly TERRIBLE sounding machines. I only wish I could afford a Ducati but at least a Duc with Termis sounds GOOD in addition to pissing everyone off. I don't know why anybody would want to ride what sounds like a flatulent cow.

And their riders' need to go wide open throttle at low revs any time they see someone within earshot they think they might be able to 'impress' just murders any desire I have to ever ride one.

I can't say for sure I won't find myself being drawn to a 'cruiser' style motorcycle at some point in life. But I can say for sure that I will never, ever want to associate myself with that particular brand.

The touchpad is downright user abusive in windows. After a google, it looks like most people have to uninstall the default driver and install another driver - just to get it to usable.

Of course doctors are ordinary people. The ones that become doctors these days aren't even the brightest in school -- those go into STEM or, god forbid, finance.

Ask HN: How do you manage payroll and compliance for foreign remote employees?
I run a very small marketing science consultancy (www.gradientmetrics.com) and we are fully remote. We are hiring our fourth employee (yay!) and this person is in the Netherlands. I am in NYC and I have one employee (W-2) in the US and a FTE in Warsaw. For the employee in Poland, we can just use Transferwise and the only legal thing we had to do was for him to set up a company to invoice and accept payments. In the Netherlands things are more complicated and it looks like we’ll have to use some kind of payroll provider. I know many companies represented here are fully remote so we cannot be the only ones wrestling with these logistical issues. I was hoping there’d be like a “Justworks for international companies” that I could plug into, but c’est la vie. Are there any platforms or systems that I should know about? Any tips or words for the wise would be hugely appreciated.
This is just what I said, but, yes, you are grasping the thrust of my comment.
You are factually incorrect. It is an externality and it is pollution. And you own the hatred that falls upon ALL of your fellow riders. So thanks, for that.

Everyone who doesn't own a Harley thinks it sounds terrible and hates it. The only reason you don't hear more about it is because people are too polite to speak up. You are the yappy-dog-in-a-grocery-store-dressed-up-as-a-service-dog of the vehicular world. 100% self centered entitlement, relying on the courtesy of others to tolerate your atrocious behavior.
The same people who gerrymandered the House post-2010 are in charge of the actual census. I'd imagine there will be systemic under counting in D-leaning states and over-counting in R-leaning, for one.
Except the reality is that the clients of those straightening camps are often the parents of gay kids, not adults.

There is plenty of data on this.
From a non-rider's perspective, the difference between a loud Harley and a loud Ducati is the same- both obnoxious. Only riders would be able to tell the difference.

Harley has made racebikes in the past, both flat track as well as track bikes. Although yes, they are known for their cruisers.
It's not ok to post like this here, no matter how unpleasant your experiences of tiny samples from other nations. I'm sure you meant well, but alexk's reply gets it right. This is one of those cases where broadcasting to a large international population (like HN readers) is not the same as talking over the issues with friends and a beer. It's easy enough to make your points without crossing that line.

I agree with this 100%. I started writing a comment about how the author emphasised all the bad traits of the Nazis-to-be and that’s not really how it worked.

I seem to remember something about how lots of “un-American communists” were pretty staunch anti-Nazis.

But OTOH this was 1941, and there were still plenty of Nazi sympathisers in the US. The battle of ideas was still live then, and I guess Harpers were fighting it.
> It's just that intolerance naturally leads to violence rather quickly in humans.

I understand this but at the same time, you become the monster as well.
Yes, but the entire reason I said anything was to compare the distances in the article, which are much higher, to this.
> it implies that hospitals somehow benefit from government involvement

But they very clearly do. A huge proportion of their income comes from government sources (Medicare/Medicaid/VA), they are subsidized by tax exemption for health spending, and government grants them the power to deny competitive entrants into their markets via "certificates of need."
> The founders assumed each branch would compete for power.

They do. Part of that competition is trying to pass blame for things to the other branches, including blame for inaction that the people in office want but the electorate does not, since blame = reduced public support = reduced effective power.

> They didn't expect them to actively push responsibility on to other people.

They probably did, since the framers had plenty of experience with elected politicians (often being such themselves) and blame passing among such politicians is as old as electoral politics (and blame-shifting among politicians more generally is pretty much universal in history, too.)
I don't recall how it was back in 2009, but you definitely don't need to be a JavaScript expert to have passionately useless opinions about it.
AFAIK, many of those programs use non-free formats which makes it challenging to implement what you're talking about. Vendor lock-in sucks.
The underlying problems in these industries are because they are labor intensive. Partly this is due to the difficulty of automating those jobs, and partly it is due to political arrangements that protect incumbents.

Technological innovations that reduce costs will be the most lasting ways to reform these sectors.
Ideally one would hire self sufficient engineers that don’t cause drama which causes political battles.

A small organization doesn’t need much management, but the larger corporate environment has middle management - managers of managers. This layer is really only there because of numbers. If you have 7 managers with 8 engineers each, one director isn’t going to be able to make big picture decisions for 7 teams, let alone get thru HR reviews for 56 people, salary planning, etc.

What about mediocre and bad engineers? If there are a few and there is a system, they will find a way to meet basic criteria in the tool/system. You’ve heard jokes about teams that measure lines of code, and suddenly people are pumping out lines of code.

When you get a group of 20 or more people together they are going to disagree and some will outright dislike each other. These are the roots of political battles in an org, which beyond small teams, can’t be avoided.
One sounds like a fart.

Agreed, though, of course many people find any loud vehicle annoying. I've seen the occasional ricer banging their R6 off the rev limiter at the gas station. The difference is, the loud sportbike is gone in the blink of an eye. The loud Harley rider feels the need to 'show off' in every 30mph pedestrian zone they can find.
As someone who drives an ATV on gravel backroads, with drunk assholes in automobiles, I completely disagree. After a few obviously intoxicated (on alcohol, and/or pills, and/or unknown, because they told me...) people commenting that they heard me coming around a blind curve because I would floor it for a split second to announce myself, I will contine to appropriately be loud. This not only applies to backroads but especially 1-track offroad trails where people on horses will hear me and be able to prepare ~45 seconds before I arrive at my slow, but dangerously deaf, speed (because of my helmet).

Though, I am a very considerate and conservative rider, whose default is to putter along and disturb as little as possible, especially around humans but I try to respect nature as well. Harleys... yeah, I mostly agree with you.
I wouldn't assume that it means such, but I wouldn't assume otherwise, either...
That’s why it’s always good to have cash. I still have some NY GO and PIT bonds paying a little over 6% tax free from that era.

"Leading" implies, to me, sophistication, how widespread it is, and how many people it impacts.
Identity politics is all the rage now, but i do believe the libertarians found the way out of this paradox. Its the use of force and coercion that draws a clear line on what kind of intolerance is intolerable.

No one in the calls even seemed particularly surprised at the speed, so maybe in the high-performance business jet territory.
To add to this anecdote, I lived in the suburbs of a major city for quite some time. My primary care doctor's practice was in the city at a prestigious hospital.

The care I received at that hospital was a night and day difference compared to what I received in the suburbs.

My favorite experience was the time I was very sick, went to a doctor in the suburbs and was told I was absolutely fine, despite the coughing, difficulty breathing, looking like I was dying, chest pain and X-ray results. I was sent on my way without even a script for antibiotics.

The next day, I went to see my PCP who demanded the names of the doctors responsible for letting a patient with severe pneumonia leave their care without proper treatment. Said if I waited another day, I'd have to be hospitalized.
Or maybe the civilian air radar isn't very good and the operators aren't highly skilled in using it since most traffic uses ADSB now. The article says "disappears from radar" but that could mean "flew out of effective radar range".
>It's not xenophobic, which is fear of foreigners,

Of course it is. Xenophobia goes beyond fear of foreigners and often manifests itself via attribution of negative traits to a culture, usually something nasty and bad like violating laws. I encourage you to check out some definitions [1] for more details.

> and it might actually represent his experience of Russians.

Saying "In my experience, most Russians/H1B holders are" is just a form of confirmation bias.

If I said, "In my experience of living in Bay Area, most Americans are <insert some bad trait here>", you would be quicker to call out my B.S. and would be right of course. It's just Russians and H1b holders is a smaller group that is easier to attack like that.

> Stereotypes exist for a reason; it should hardly be surprising that people from the same culture tend to act similarly, and not all cultural traits are perceived positively by others.

Come on, implying that Russians are getting speeding tickets and damaging apartments and H1b holders are glad being exploited are not "cultural traits" by any measure, please.

Anyways, it is really disappointing for me to get to such a low point in discourse on HN where we have to debate the basics of being civil in our comments.

In order to be employed by a USA company the employer needs to file several forms for federal and state taxation, insurance, etc. These forms require a SSN and relevant authorisation to work in the USA. I fail to see how living in Canada and not holding the appropriate permits that any employer would want to go through all the trouble of hiring you.

As you have found, contracting is probably your only option if you want to work for USA companies and even then you might benefit from incorporating in a suitable USA jurisdiction.

In my experience, the amount you are paid generally reflects the cost of living where you work. Although you might earn far more in SV or SF, your living costs will also be much higher. In the long-term you might not have been able to save any more money.

That was the 'in theory' bit. You can create a reader module inside main.rkt using (module+ reader (provide read-syntax)) where read-syntax can be defined in main.rkt or required from elsewhere. Good point though since I actually don't know exactly where to put a reader.rkt file to get the equivalent behavior of defining it as a submodule inside of main.rkt.

What are you offering an USA company that would make it worthwhile for them to break the law(s) ?
The problem in the present US system, is that it's a bad mixture of private and government involvement. We have the negatives from both acting simultaneously.

5% of patients are half of all costs in the US healthcare system; 1% of patients are 22% of the cost. People over the age of 65 are a greater share of cost in the US system than in universal healthcare systems, because the US doesn't have a big lever for rationing care.

The healthiest half, is 3% of the cost in the system.

A market healthcare system, which is widely considered immoral, will drop many of the most expensive and poorest patients from the system. That's how you can dramatically lower costs in the US system, if you want to go the market route. A market system would particularly focus on the 50% that are only 3% of cost, with costs being far higher for everyone else (resulting in lack of access to expensive treatment for many, and many millions of people would get denied healthcare coverage due to pre-existing conditions).

A universal healthcare system smashes costs by rationing care, and tightly controlling everything from drug prices to healthcare worker salaries.

The US today has neither of those approaches widely implemented. We have a lot of government and private healthcare without enough of the tight cost checks. The obvious outcome, is a perpetual cost spiral until it can't spiral anymore (which is about where we're at now).
