Basically yes.

Will of the people don't exist as starting point. It is the end result of complex democratic process and interaction with democratic institutions.

The proper end result is not what any interest group wants but hopefully a negotiated result that represents a deal that most people can accept. We should try to improve this process, not to make it streamlined and as short as possible.
I said they had those functionalities, never claiming they had neither a perfect track record nor something comparable with what we have today.

I pointed that those functionalities existed and presumably sometimes worked, as opposed to OP that said they did _not_ have them. At the very least, the false positive proves they had emergency breaking.

What I find amazing is what they managed to do with much less powerful HW than what we have today, with much more primitive camera systems. To put it into context, the project is older than I am and they managed to achieve things that most of my live until pretty recently I would have categorized somewhere between amazing and impossible.
Talking to people in Argentina in 2015, I realized that 40% inflation also brings many headaches that we are not used to with a 2% rate.

Been there, done that. My "panel member" for our telemetry and power design review was another electrical engineer who was senior to me. He was supposed to give me feedback leading up to the review, but he didn't. So when the design review happened, he shredded me in front of our customers so badly that the customers actually complained about him to my senior managers.

It was indeed a horrible place to work.

Depending in the lift this may or may not be possible.

I don't know which lift the author was performing (and would ask you not to repeat it if you do know), but of the popular lifts which could cause a problem if you fail:

1) Bench press. Have a spotter or don't use clips (the things that hold the weights on the bar). Some benches will have safety bars which can help as well. If you don't have clips you can tip to one side and dump the weight off the end of one bar, then the bar should roll of you (albeit painfully/noisily). People have died benching alone in a gym, don't get caught out.

2) Squat. Have spotters and/or squat in a cage/safety rack (with parallel bars either side of you). It can be dangerous if you fail, have no spotters and aren't in a safety rack. i.e. you can dump it, but this can be dangerous to you and those around you.

Stay safe everyone.
The government has routinely nationalized both foreign and domestic businesses and expensive infrastructure, and sets prices on goods. When this caused inflation and shortages they responded by nationalizing more businesses and setting more prices, and trying to enforce a false exchange rate. I'm not going to bother explaining how this is self defeating since everywhere this has been tried the same things happen, and if you can't figure it out it's because you don't want to.
They had emergency braking... which just means applying the brakes. If you false positive emergency brake, that's worse than doing nothing (increased risk of crash, integrated over a wide range of possibilities).

My concern is that this article massively overstates the results that Dickmanns had in a way that implies his work had any real chance of being used in a production environment. There is a substantial difference in the sorts of Probabilistic systems that Thrun and others build today.

I'm far away from south america - whenever an article comes about Venezuela, I just read useless repetitive statements like most of the comments on this HN submission.

Any insightful local Venezuelans for any comments except template-based mundane political statements?

What's the reverse of populism in the case of Venezuela? Going easy and decreasing tensions with US and allies and reverting sanctions and attracting foreign investments, like some other south American countries? Or what? any insights?
Blackmailing is probably not the best negotiation strategy...

However what I definitely can suggest is - know what your market value is. If you earn X however market value is much more than X then you definitely have room for negotiation.

Good negotiator always knows when to stop negotiating. And at that point to know your market value is something that will help. You can exercise your CV and check its performance - you do not necessarily need to have new employer aligned to achieve that.
In principle I'd happily pay for a good application. But not being able to use my normal package manager to install it and keep it up to date would already be imposing a significant cost.
Agree with you for the most part, but the GDPR extends much further than that.

Even if you've accepted the default consent popup from a website, you can also revoke that consent in the future and request you be forgotten (either your data deleted or completely anonymised). Then there's the obligation of data breaches to be reported quickly, as well as being able to claim damages that result from said breaches.

That last bit will also incentivise companies to be more careful about how much data they can collect, and whether they'll even want to store it longer than absolutely necessary.

D-Day Venezuela

https://panampost.com/editor/2018/01/02/d-day-venezuela/

I believe current US policy in South America misses a vital and timely opportunity. US policy should gear toward infrastructure projects throughout the Western Hemisphere. Akin to China's $2T Belt and Road Initiative throughout Central Asia and Africa. Just today Indian PM Modi and China's Xi Jinping are holding an historic joint visit to Rwanda, where they will announce new trade agreements.

Instead we see the same old strategy: sanctions in the hope of pro-democratic regime change, that only hurt the very people themselves.

I'd like to offer a counterpoint. I attended one of the machine learning bootcamp mentioned above, and it was transformative for me. I got hired within a month, doubled my salary to over 100k, and landed a job that I enjoy and find intellectually stimulating. All this while having little to no technical experience (only math I took in college was intro to stats, and my pre-bootcamp career was in a non-technical capacity).

I completely understand why there is such a stigma around bootcamps. Nobody can deny that they don't afford the same depth that you'd get at a "real" program. But they can be amazing for career switchers like me, who had no real direction in college. Don't look down your nose at them.

Fetishizing suffering if there's no way to mitigate the pain is actually a better strategy than being aware that it just sucks. If you can't really do anything about it, I think I would also start to talk like this. It's similar to "We're poor. Therefore, living in poverty is a virtue" - it's a reaction to a situation we're forced to be in. Seeing positive aspects in them gives us a way to cope with it - it's simply a coping mechanism so the mind doesn't lose its will to live.

I'm not a fan of re-using injection needles, too. That's the problem I see with this coping mechanism: You have to be careful. You shouldn't use this thinking to lead your actions, it's only good for situations where you're not able to change anything or control it (like chronic pain).
On the contrary. There are several reasons why vehicle size isn't going any further.

SUVs are at the upper limit of what most people are willing to tolerate in terms of unmaneuverability. Too big a vehicle, and you have trouble passing and weaving through the shitty commute traffic.

And if you try, and the vehicle is too slow for what you're doing, you'll probably crash. So it's a balance between being more survivable and being less likely to crash in the first place.

Also, bigger vehicles tend to be more expensive, non-size-related factors held equal.
There are plenty of places where buisnesses have been nationalised, from many arab states and norway's state-owned oil buisnesses to nationalised rail, post, and other services in many western countries.

I don't dispute that the country has been run badly but calling states that do these things communist makes almost every state communist.

In America, the general view seems to be that any move from politicians to move towards economies like Denmark and Sweden are "socialist". Therefore they conflated to have no difference between Denmark and Venezuela and the USSR.

It's very wrong from bufferoverflow's viewpoint.

From my viewpoint (I'm Norwegian), Venezuela doesn't look leftist at all. Chavez and Maduro look like just regular dimwit autocrats, they don't look like Einar Gerhardsen, Tage Erlander, Olof Palme or Poul Nyrup Rasmussen at all. Chavez/Maduro look more like those horribles the US tends to prop up around Latin America, except that their veneer of rhetoric uses unusual vocabulary.

Maduro is the kind of leftist who'll rather repay PVDSA debts than feed the poor.

But from bufferoverflow's viewpoint it's different. Maduro uses leftist vocabulary and fucks up, therefore.
Pfft. I couldn't weave, pass and lanechange through the usual shitty traffic if my vehicle was that unmaneuverable.

A model worldview that is primarily concerned with faces, treats, hunger and feelings.

I takes many years to map these phenomena to a fuller model of the objective world.

The brain and therefore the human consciousness cannot see the world as it is; the brain gets its information through sensory input. For the input to make sense it needs to be fitted to a model worldview (a table is only viewable as a table once the mess of colors coming from the eyes can be mapped to the representation of a table)

I've not been able to find a source, in spite of years of logging all kinds of data. The only thing I have noticed, but which I don't want to contemplate, is that I have more frequent migraines when I have more sex. Much fun.

I shoot pics of my kid with a $3500 35mm dSLR and constantly save pictures to my phone. Whenever I show people the pics on my phone, they almost immediately say how amazing the photos are and ask what kind of phone this is.

I'm not some distinguished photographer, but with the right camera and lens, the color, contrast, bokeh, light, some minimal composition (not in that order) all come together very nicely.

Same holds true for video as well.

My point is, this comes up again and again, without any context that the pics weren't taken with the phone.

Since 1922 ruble lost its denomination 6 times. The total loss of valuation is 1 to 5 quadrillion.

That's not even counting the inflation since 1998, which is is another 1:5 loss, though that's not due to socialism.

From the article:

> There is a duality between zero and infinity, expressed in the elementary identity 1/0 = ∞.

I understand what they're saying here - but I was always under the impression that, rather than yielding infinity, division by zero was undefined. Wikipedia [1] says that this is true "In ordinary arithmetic", but goes on to say that it is "sometimes useful" to think of a "formal calculation" involving division by zero as evaluating to infinity. A formal calculation seems to be one that ignores whether the result is well defined.

Would anyone care to comment on whether the mathematical perspective above carries over into the physics domain?
