Mine started after watching https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Terror_(TV_series). I spent half of the night reading about the Northwest Passage, the Arctic Ocean, the exploration of the Arctic, the expeditions, the icebreaker boats, the diseases and human behaviors in hostile environment… Not gonna lie, I had never heard about icebreakers, nuclear-powered boats or even the Northwest Passage. Also I recommend The Terror, it mixes historical events and fantastic. The first part of the series (on the boat) is a bit slow but the second part is wtf and captivating.
Good question. If FB doing all this tracking, keeping records on everyone:

1. doesn't benefit the merchants (by providing better targeting)

2. doesn't benefit the consumers (by providing better targeting)

C. I really don't care if they're running a scam, I'm not on FB nor am I advertising on it.

Then what the hell do they actually need all this tracking data for?!!

All that's left is that it benefits the political influence ecosystem (like you said, Palantir & co).

But! We used to believe it benefits the merchants, too (I don't think we ever honestly believed it benefited the consumer, ever). And for all the same, what if in a few months we'll hear political marketing companies and super-PAC whotsits complain that, also for them, FB ads don't really give a great ROI. That it's so much more effective to cold-call people or go door-to-door and do flabby meatspace stuff.

Then what? Why are they tracking us? Really, why are the big machine learning data centres tracking us? I'm just saying. Anyone who still thinks this century can't get any crazier hasn't been paying attention.
I'd guess it's related to how ambiguous a "star" is, and people use them for very different purposes, a common issue with sites that do not have distinct options but only "star"/"like"/....

E.g. I treat stars as bookmarks: I star everything I come across that seems somewhat related to my interests, but isn't relevant right now. In the vast majority of cases, I at best have skimmed the readme. If I'm looking deeply into something, I might even be more likely to not star it.

This conflation of purposes means a lot of noise in the signal you can get out of it. It's some kind of popularity metric, but not a clearly defined one.

That explains a lot. I really can't relate do other coffee drinkers describing their experience. I often drink 0.4 liter of black coffee to get rid of the late evening sleepyness when I want some hours of productive free time for gaming or programming before bed. When I try to sleep ~3h later the effects of the coffee are largely gone and I fall to sleep within 5 minutes. I guess I've got a lot of that enzyme. ;) (which is nice)

I shouldn't have to keep saying this in every thread about Tesla autopilot, but I guess I do: the fact that there will probably one day be autonomous driving systems that are safer than human drivers does not imply that Tesla's current system is safer than human drivers.
Of course it is. More and more markets are becoming oligopolies with high barriers to entry and high costs to consumers.

We need a new trustbusting government to clear out the cruft.
Using anecdotes to speculate on the validity of any given work of journalism is just substituting media bias for personal bias.

I don't know how many contracts were cancelled, so I would have to consider the range of values between "the story is sensationalism" to "the story is accurate in its essence", and at this point I'm no better off than when I started.
I don't agree with that conclusion at all. If they didn't subsidize those employees through welfare people would stop working there, either through leaving to other jobs or just dieing. At some point people have to eat and have a place to sleep.

> It's not healthy to equate the two - as the 'startup' scene in America is actually very vibrant, while there may be an issue with small business formation

A very valid and smart observation. I read the subject title and I was like "What????". No country is even remotely close to the US with respect to startups.

Where did you get those numbers? I was under the impression that each $10k on a 30 year loan was roughly $70 / month, depending on your interest rates and property taxes.

If $40 / month is what you can expect from electricity savings, it's an absolutely awful investment.

That statement. That because it's an authority they will be just, law abiding, and acting in everyone's best interest. That op has no problem with it because surely no one would ever abuse that power! That's a logical failure if you don't have your head in the sand.

But, I'm sure it makes no sense if you've been raised to believe the "government is here to help".
lol, sorry. I actually used to find this frustrating myself. At some point, I just gave up and it switched in my brain. Guess I'm part of the problem now....

Counter to narrative, there is/was some US based panel production capacity, we do still make things here! We don't make as many things as in, say, Germany, but there is manufacturing.

The whole reason that these tariffs came in to effect was that some failed manufacturers brought the issue. My understanding is that the manufacturers failed not because it's impossible to do in the US, but simply because of poor management decisions or betting on the wrong technology.

The real question is whether the tariffs will be around long enough to incentivize any new manufacturing capacity in the US. They will almost certainly be slapped down by the WTO in a short amount of time, as previous tariffs like this have been. So by the time anybody could make more manufacturing capacity, it seems likely that the tariffs will no longer be around to support the facility. So new facilities must be planned on the basis of profitability without the tariffs.

Even in this environment, there is new production being planned. However, the jobs associated with this are dwarfed by the number of jobs related to installation of panels. So while this will certainly be a net negative to the US economy in the short term, without much opportunity to provide positive impact.

Basically, just a meaningless PR move by a politician. I don't think it will cause hugely detrimental effects either, it's just stupid.
There isn't one (because what you want for long strings makes short string operations too slow, or because you need strings stored in a certain format or in a certain place for other reasons).

So I like the idea of polymorphism so you can adjust the implementation. C++ has polymorphism, but for some reason not enabled for strings (they needed to use all virtual member functions to allow it).

Apache Beam: a unified programming model for data processing pipelines
I did a lot of manual excel work in sorting and filtering the Credit Suisse Global Wealth Report after I received it.

An important thing to know here is that this is net wealth, not gross wealth. IF you have a $500,000 house and a $400,000 mortgage and nothing in the bank and no student loans and so on, you have $100,000 in net assets.

This is why 33% of Americans and 90% of Russians have less than $10,000 in assets. Massively, massively in debt, or massively, massively income deficient relative to someone from New Zealand or Switzerland.

I remember reading something a few years ago that this sort of thing was being investigated as a means of using wind power.

As we know wind power (like most? all? renewable sources) have this undesirable property of not being constant. And I mean undesirable in the sense of the base load of an electrical grid.

So the idea is to store excess power. Obviously rechargeable batteries are one way to do this. But another is artificially creating gasoline as a means of energy storage. This could have pretty desirable properties at places where gasoline might otherwise be expensive to ship in and wind power might be in abundance.

Anyway I can't find the paper but at that time with that process it was looking at still over $5/gallon (which in remote places is still totally fine).

So if this new process is real and scalable to an industrial level, that would be great. As much as EVs are a rapidly growing market, I think we're going to be stuck with ICEs for a long time yet.
I get that in 5-10 years we MAY have SDVs that are superior than human drivers. But I think a lot of people have a mental model of SDVs _right now_ being superior to human drivers. I can't remember the crash stats, but I think the only way to know for sure is to calculate the number of miles a single human generally drives on average before they are involved in a collision or crash, etc...

Now I don't have the numbers memorized, but in previous Tesla, Uber, Google threads - only Google had reached records similar to human level crash safety. Keeping in mind however that they are still working on driving through snow, construction sites, non-existant (paint gone) lane lines... so the test areas are quite specific still.

I realize Tesla isn't advertising level 5 autonomy - I'm just responding to the above poster.

Weekly Digest on Data Engineering and Distributed Systems
Same here but different reason. I worked in Software Engineering for a financial organization when I announced the arrival of my first child to head of HR (Monday). My performance review was scheduled for Tuesday but my manager postponed to Friday. I was fired (because of my baby) that Friday by head of HR instead of sitting down in 1-1 with my manager or CTO. They just didn't have the guts to tell me that my productivity will drop b/c of lack of sleep, etc.
Shitty move but lesson learned: don't announce the due date of your unborn child BEFORE a performance review! Better don't announce it at all if you wanna keep your job.
I don't agree.

Think of any idea. Think of your best idea.

I'd bet you money it's either been done, or is being worked on right now by someone else.

I think others share this understanding, and en masse it can lead to a more cautious approach to business development. If you know your business idea either exists, or will exist before you, then you should only take the leap if you have a really, really good product. It does not suffice to just be "first" nowadays (if you can even be first at all).
>> These vehicles will run into stationary obstacles at full speed with no warning or emergency braking at all. That is by design. This is not an implementation bug or sensor failure.

A little off topic, but I'm curious: I usually use "by design" to mean "an intentional result." How do other people use the term? In this case, the behavior is a result of the design (as opposed to the implementation), but is surely not intentional; I would call it a design flaw.

> The problem with sequestering CO2 as hydrocarbons is that you need to put a whole load of energy (embodied in the hydrogen you're combining it with) into the ground and leave it there.

If sequestering CO2, combining it with CaO to make CaCO3 (calcium carbonate) makes more sense, and is even exothermic. It's also biologically harmless and can be safely dumped, used in building materials, etc.
For those on HN who are born in the US, it's reasonable to avoid Mainland China because they don't want a second superpower messing with their devices.

I've heard that one of the biggest things sleep does in this area is helping you fuse together small sequences. When learning a long sequence of actions be it musical or whatever, people learn chunks of smaller sequences (ie. learning to punch in the sequence 486142041 might be broken up into 4861-4202-41 with pauses inbetween that seem impossible to train out of you. As soon as one sleeps through, people suddenly are able to rattle off the whole sequence without the pauses. This is obviously essential for music.

When Bad Things Happen in Slow Motion
Presumably the part where you fraudulently faked KYC stuff.
My understanding is that the research background for a lot of dependently typed designs is based on proof theories where the program/proof represents the theory/constraint one-to-one. Other systems (PRL, Hoare logic) also exist but either have difficulties or haven’t had the same level of research and exploration to reach designs like modern dependently types languages.

So you can easily add imperative steps to such a language, but since you not rely on side-effects for “interesting” behavior, it becomes more difficult to match the underlying proof theories to the kind of verification you’re attempting.

I’m confident people will flood this comment with sources showing how proof theories exist which don’t have these properties, but I think the prevalence of DT langs nowadays does suggest that this particular synthesis is somewhat more productive so far.

Depends. Assuming we keep using hydrocarbon fuels to some extent, and want to be carbon neutral, we have to either (1) create them from atmospheric CO2, or (2) absorb the atmospheric CO2 emitted from fossil hydrocarbons, and sequester it somewhere.

Steve Jobs Promised Open Source FaceTime Back in 2010: What Happened?
I think you haven't understood my point or maybe I haven't understood yours, and maybe it is because I have misunderstood Zig's approach.

My understanding is that something like `fn f() -> %T` returns a T or an `error`, and the latter can be literally any error value that exists anywhere in the program. It isn't restricted to the actual possible errors that might occur inside f, and thus has the same failings of Rust that you point out (don't know which subset of errors might be returned), except the unknown set of possible errors is likely to be larger.

(And, you can still get all the niceties of Rust's error handling infrastructure like the ? operator if you manually define an error type that is restricted to the exact set of possible errors: there's not a privileged type for how to represent errors.)
If you'd like more evidence of what I'm saying, read Smart Cards, Tokens, Security and Applications or Secure Smart Embedded Devices, Platforms and Applications. Both are graduate textbooks covering smart card design and development.

The term "smart card" is frequently misused in popular nomenclature. As a technical term, it refers specifically to contact or contact-less (like NFC) cards with an embedded chip which are, at minimum, physically tamper resistant. For example, a typical credit card is not a smart card. A SIM card is a smart card (or token).

Tamper resistant does not imply tamper proof, which can also be a source of confusion.
