I know someone who has survived multiple suicide attempts, BPD, Bipolar, Clinical Depression, etc. They went through hell, had convulsive shock therapy, a decade of therapists and experimental drugs that could kill you. They now live a perfectly normal happy life.

There is light at the end of the tunnel. There is so much good in this world it is worth all that and more to hang on and see it through.

We should have headlines that read "Troubled 29-year-old helped to live by Dutch doctors" We should not embrace euthanasia we should embrace every individuals inherent worth, they deserve love not poison.

I know exactly how people feel for them and say it is their right. Indeed it is the open door. It is always available, you need to simply walk through it. I would hope that we on this side of it would be begging people not to go rather than shoving them through it. It is no great thing to put someone to death, no matter how it makes us feel about it they will never have the chance to feel anything.

Amazing.

I dont understand nearly enough about materials science to grok how you iterate to such a discovery. Does anyone else have intimate knowledge of the grind?
Same here — I didn’t even notice what was going on until I saw the men vs women plot with almost everything above the y = x line.

Also the “number of daily smokers” plot makes no sense in absolute terms, and really seems like it ought to be per capita.

For instance, investors can't short in India, and it happens to be one of the countries with a reputation of a high proportion of companies with accounting irregularities.
I think the concept makes sense, but the author's main point was a bit obscure and so was the implementation of the goals.

And implementation seems like a pretty complex issue when I consider it.

A lot of code can be "grunt work", and very necessary. Sometimes just the logic explaining how to do something can be worth more than knowing how to code the logic. Writing the code is often the easy part.

So assigning values to those two distinctly different aspects of creating software, and even hardware for that matter, is really a pretty complex issue.

I would have liked to learned more about what they have in mind in regards to that.
What if your parent is one of the Sandy Hook parents victimized by Alex Jones? And the thing they believe is that your sibling existed?

I mean, at some point you realize that people have figured out repetition is the point and there can't be any refutation if they just do not acknowledge it.

Your outlook recalls the way the internet was 20 years ago, when, for instance, holocaust deniers had their little group on Usenet, and idealists could spend eternity providing evidence they were wrong. It seems so quaint now.

Relay attacks like those mentioned that Teslas are vulnerable to can also affect most other keyless entry cars. On new Mercedes one can turn off the keyless entry system by double klicking the lock button on the key when locking the car. The car key then will have to have its unlock button physically pushed to unlock the car, and in that state relay attacks won’t work.

There is actually a big security push in automotive that's sort of been slowly coming to the fore over the last few years. It's not the OEMs that are driving it really either, they are to some degree, but it's the suppliers starting to make security hardware and system protection available, as it really hasn't been for very long. It's still not really entirely there. Basic things like the microcontrollers and CAN hardware / protocol never had security designed in. No one was willing to invest significant engineering time or do expensive security in software when hardware cost is king, or even invest in the engineering cost of bringing in security from suppliers (seriously, there's like 20+ independent computers in your car and it's going to be 50+ on average soon if it isn't already and out of those you'd probably have to harden 10 or so, or introduce entire new ECUs) There's a number of solutions but none of them are cheap. As hardware support becomes widely available, development time for higher tier suppliers drops and they can economically offer secure solutions, and with scares like the Jeep remote control hack in 2015 and with cars getting more connected, OEMs are starting to see the business case for security.

I have an honest question, I hope it doesn't offend. Why use one of these? Is it because you don't want to take a bike on a train to Town Hall? How would it compare to getting a foldable bike/skateboard/scooter?

In my travels I can't see how to justify using them seeing as I got my bike for maybe $350 including locks, lights and helmet.
Yes. Just be honest. Be clear about the risks they are taking. Don't bullshit them with projections, etc. Don't take cash from anyone who is going to get hurt if you lose it. It's old fashioned advice these days but it works.

lol there won't be a short squeeze when the shorts know that the maximum share price will be $420.

that means that the shorts know EXACTLY how much money to deposit into their brokerage accounts to maintain the margin call.

that means that the shorts know EXACTLY how much money they can throw at doubling down in case the deal doesn't go through, getting their cost basis closer to $420 for a higher percentage short, than closer to $270.

Elon goofed.
Well most physics engine, including nphysics, bullet, box2d, are able to achieve much more realistic simulations: just increase the number of iterations for the constraints solvers, and reduce the timesteps length. Of course this will no longer be real-time but will be suitable for generating animations. In the end, it always boils down to a compromise between performances and realism unfortunately.
This specific case aside, I don't understand what the big deal with euthanasia is in more clear-cut cases. Why is it not possible for terminal cancer patients (or similar terminal diseases) abroad? It seems we have run this long enough to prove that, yes, it is possible to run this system without apparent abuse.

And in this specific case, please keep in mind that it is so exceptional that it made international news. Both the Netherlands (RTL, as mentioned) reported on it as well as apparently the BBC. It's not as if we go along with every teen's death wish, and as the article says, "the process can take years". It's on the long side rather than short, as you have all the time in the world to reconsider, but also all the time in the world to suffer more. My grandfather had it finally arranged and was looking forward to it, but it was scheduled for a week after he died naturally. Poor man. This really is not about giving up on someone or saying someone doesn't deserve to live.
The article states most doctors think they prescribe below average amounts - similar to everyone thinking they are an above average driver.
It's fascinating to see this in the NYT, the paper that served as GW Bush's propaganda wing for selling the lies that persuaded the US public to support the second Iraq war.

That's not really a problem, rather it proves there is a valuable use case for it.

Depending on the process architects have varying power over the overall project process. This can vary a lot between regions, companies and domains (i.e residential, offshore, bridges, etc etc)
the point is the poster is asking "them" to notice so "more action will be taken" by "them". Why is it always "them" who needs to take the action not the person commenting?

In other words if you're not willing to take action why should you expect anyone else to take action?

I have tons of friends and acquaintances that love to spout off on their concern for the environment and then are in the process of buring down the planet with their 3rd vacations this year to the other side of the world and their 4th 10000 mile round trip flight in the last 6 months to attend some conference followed by Instagram pictures of all the loot they bought.

Heck, most of the tech companies fly there employees all over the place. fly them to SV for orientation. Fly them to some city for a global off-site. Fly them to the yearly team gathering. Apparently none of them really care either though they all have a PR page about their concern.
Except that your expenses ARE wildly skewed by a 50% increase in labor some months.

Maybe smooth is fine for modeling, but when making decisions of when to spend or not spend, you need to know when you will have money. It could be that delaying the transition to full-time by 1-2 months would have made it all work
The domino thing wasn't that crazy. China, Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia. Then what? Philippines? Thailand?

Of course, the right answer was that we couldn't take on all of those burdens, not even one, really, not for long. But in the aftermath of WWII, I think it's not surprising that this wasn't understood.
That seems like a sort of shorthand to simplify long-term thinking, for a firm that has a long term. This firm lasted four more months. This CEO needed to understand how much her workforce compensation decisions would cost. The straightforward way to communicate that would have been to indicate what would be paid on each particular payday. This was... something else.

There were probably a number of other problems here. The CEO should have known of this particular problem, even without help from the interim CFO. Still, in this area he didn't really help as much as he could have.
From what I have read here / experienced personally, google scaling > amazon scaling > microsoft scaling and each one is an order of magnitude greater in performance (there is an article on microsoft functions vs Amazon lambda which gives you the idea and don't even get me started on google tech versus microsoft/amazon).

I have had psychiatric care for over half my life. The medicine I get do not work and I have tested everything the doctors have prescribed to me. None of the medicines work. I have had the feeling of hopelessness and the will to die for a very long time. If this was an option in my country I would jump at the chance.
When an animal suffers you put it down. You do not keep it alive for as long as possible. That is barbaric.

How did you get better? Please be detailed.
My experience agrees with this. I am a different, significantly less comfortable person to be around when strangers are asking me so many questions about myself. I think it’s just about the worst way to get to know me.

When I get hired this way, I always feel a little bit of guilt because I know they actually hired somebody else.

What can be done? I’m not sure, but I can say one thing: my level of discomfort is multiplied by the number of strangers in the room. Does this ever get considered with interviews?

I am far more comfortable coding in front of 1 or 2 people who each give me a little bit of background about their coding experience; just so I know. If they are experienced engineers, it’s probably not going to change what I say aloud, but it just makes me more comfortable. I guess more overlap of technologies in our background does help. It’s nice to not feel pressure of worrying if my solutions reflect general programming conventions enough to be language agnostic. I have never really used Java, for example.
To a certain extent. Certainly some people might have a more rigid stance towards parenting a child that is not theirs from birth compared to this situation.
Mildly disappointing, if that. I would gladly give up optimal LTE performance for everything else this device promises (running legitimate Linux distros, physical sep. baseband/camera/etc).

Halal meat price comparison search engine in the US
I bought a monitor a couple years ago that has a "Low Blue Light" feature you can turn on/off.

At first I didn't like it. It kind of dulls the screen down and makes things look greener. But after using it for a couple months, along with a couple other monitors on my desk, my eyes were getting tired so I turned the feature on and used it for a few days to see if I could get used to it.

When I switched it back off afterwards I was pretty shocked at how much more my eyes were instantly stressed. I turned it back on and have left it on since. I also turned the blue down on my other two monitors. And I can feel the difference when I set them back to their defaults too.

I don't think I'd like it for TV, though I might get used to it as well, but for coding and surfing the web it works for me.

It's not that people are uninterested; it's more that inventing a system for specifying and enforcing these kind of generic interfaces is a really hard design problem.

So I've been frustrated by this type of interview for years (on both sides, but the last 10 years on the hiring side). I don't think it's great finding people that are good at writing software (as it's a LOT more than a single algorithm and more than just coding).

I wrote a book it - along with what I've been using the last few years, that actually seems to work - or work at least a bit better. In the end, I don't think you really know unless you work with someone.

Yeah this is exactly the same methodology I used when calculating my expenses. Three columns: cost, number of periods, averaged cost per month (as my mortgage payments would be monthly).

The odd thing in my opinion is that internet advertising is shit. It was shit in the late 90s and hasn't improved in 20 years. It's astounding these ad companies collect so much information.

It's a matter of timing. You don't hire a CFO on day 1 b/c you don't need one. On day 2 you start to balance the needs vs the expense. Sometimes you take a risk (intentional or not) a delay a little more than you should. Especially when you need experts in 2 areas and can only afford 1.

Sometimes, we misjudge that risk or get unlucky.
Well GNSS =/= GPS, so my point stands, but...

No, GNSS is not ready to go. Look at the submeter coverage area for GNSS, it's TINY. Go look at work that Todd Humphreys has been doing at UAustin for over a decade trying to do cm specific GNSS localiztion with wider area deployments. It's just not tractable, scalable or anything near ready for a mass market. Like there is no reason for GNSS to grow at all when we're now building cloud vision based localization systems.

You keep referencing Trimble, I get it, they are doing good work in a handful of these areas. But the reality is that the uptake of hardware by firms to support AR at a scale that would support a company, is nowhere close to ready.

I'm telling you, I've skinned this cat from every conceivable angle.
Would the bike companies be nervous about the scooter companies? I can appreciate that bikes have a health component, but the scooters take up less room parked on streets, easier to carry down a flight of stairs, less likely to arrive sweating, etc.
There's a difference between the government telling you (i.e. a real person) what to do on the one hand, and the government telling a corporation (i.e. a system that can neither live nor die, can neither suffer nor experience pleasure) how they can advertise their wares on the other hand.

For instance, Australian adults are free to smoke cigarettes. But companies operating in Australia are not allowed to sell cigarettes without conforming to various restrictions and regulations. Those aren't the same thing.

So the analogy here would be that Coca-Cola is freely allowed to sell their goods, but (a) they're not allowed to advertise them and (b) when they sell them, they should say something like "sugary beverages cause diabetes" (if that's the valid and analogous claim) and show a picture of person with a foot that needs amputating.

If you still want to buy a coke when the bottle looks like a scene from a horror show, you'd be allowed to. But they'd have to give you a reasonable assessment of the consequences of drinking this beverage (which are generally not becoming a hot fit 20 year old on the beach). (Assuming that there is a valid link between regular consumption of sugary beverages and obesity-related health problems - it's not a topic I've specifically investigated but it seems to be the general assumption.)
