There's far less contention regarding the scope and design of those things.

It's not impossible to do what you say. But do you live in the United States? This isn't a country does compromise and cooperation very well, especially not now.

A more recent example is cellphone technology. Europe forced standardization of cell technology early on and so cell service (especially 2G and 3G) spread much more quickly and consistently than in the U.S. But there was much more innovation in the U.S.[1] because companies had more degrees of freedom. CDMA lost the standardization wars but won the technology wars, and arguably that's because companies could build out CDMA in the U.S. and Asia.

I don't think there's an objective answer to which model is preferable, not for cellphones nor for autonomous driving. But relative to Europe the United States clearly prefers market-driven solutions. The mantra is that the government isn't supposed to "pick winners and losers" in a competitive market place. It may seem obvious that it's better to cooperate on building a shared infrastructure, but unless and until there's a consensus that such shared infrastructure offers not only the most social utility but that its the "best" approach (imagine all the details!), it's not likely to happen here.

And that's without considering who will pay for such infrastructure.

It seems to me that all possible constitutions have weaknesses. You could give a range of possible current best-practice ideas, each with strengths and weaknesses, and the country will pick one. Almost inevitably, they will pick the one whose strengths best address what was wrong with their previous situation. (In military terms, they're fighting the last war, not the next one.) Maybe that's the one that they most need, in the short term. It may not be the one that they need in the long term, though.

And trying to make a constitution perfect can result in some monstrously long documents. One of the virtues of the US Constitution is that it's short enough for a grade-school kid to plow through and actually understand.
By our constitution, the president is the executive. He is in charge of the day-to-day operations of the entire federal government.

Of course he can issue orders. They don't even need to be fancy signed documents. He can simply tell his employees what to do. Any method of communication should work, no matter how silly.

The problem you might be looking for is that congress has granted rule-making authority to agencies that are part of the executive branch and thus under control of the president. This effectively allows the president to make law.

Wildfires release carbon that is already an active part of the carbon cycle. Undoubtedly there will be an impact to climate, but typically overall atmospheric carbon will stabilize in a relatively short period of time after a wildfire (as the land is reforested). Carbon from fossil fuels, on the other hand, is not an active part of the carbon cycle. It is net-new carbon. Carbon dumps from wildfires do impact climate, but it is qualitatively different than carbon dug up from under the earth which adds the overall amount of carbon in the cycle.

The real cost is not so much in the hardware but in the certification requirements. Medical devices need to be built to and work at a higher standard than consumer electronics, for obvious reasons.
That is the line of thinking explored in Robin Hanson’s article, “Cut Medicine in Half.”

https://www.cato-unbound.org/2007/09/10/robin-hanson/cut-med...

Combined with research on how wealth, family status, social status, access to sex partners, etc. etc. correlate with health outcomes even after controlling for access to doctors, hospital care, etc., it raises a lot of questions.

It seems most of the money we spend on medicine as a society is just a form of signalling. We “care” if we give X dollars worth of medical service, regardless of whether that led to a positive outcome or if the outcome could have been obtained more effectively through less “showy” ways or unglamorous things that don’t involve medical procedures or treatment.

It goes along with the idea of “betting is a tax on bullshit.” If we paid medical entities based on successful outcomes, including at the population level, then it might incentivize creative, cost-effective solutions instead of providers shoveling more ineffective treatment and demanding high pay just based on administering it.

1. The US charge is "shipping U.S.-origin products to Iran and other countries in violation of U.S. export and sanctions laws"

2. Canada has similar embargo laws on the books.

3. Canada has a multi-lateral extradition treaty with the US

4. The crime is considered serious with a maximum penalty (in the US) of up to 20 years in prison plus substantial monetary fines.

So she's accused of a serious crime in the US that's also recognized as a crime in Canada, and the countries have an extradition treaty.

It sounds like pip-tools[1] is what you want Pipenv to be.

1. Put your dependencies in requirements.in.

2. Run pip-compile to generate requirements.txt.

3. Commit both files.

4. Use requirements.txt in production.

You can also use setup.py or setup.cfg instead of requirements.in. This lets you build packages and specify dependencies like "Python 3.5+". requirements.in is simpler, though.

2. Communicate your goals clearly.

5. Reiterate your clear goals often and clearly.

I get it, but take RAID for example. It always presumed weird things. That you either have enough performance and not enough load to be able to check disks or rebuild it without much degradation or that you are able to copy an entire disk in like a few hours or that an error means you need to replace the disk. These assumptions break if you don't forget that capacity increases, but seek time stays the same.

Obviously there will be some inherent complexity dealing with that, but not really more complexity, it's just different, maybe proper for once.
The New York Times claimed that Facebook was sharing private data with Huawei, "a telecommunications equipment company that has been flagged by American intelligence officials as a national security threat", when in actual fact the data was shared with the friends those people had chosen to share the data with, via the smartphones in those friends' pockets.

Though I actually meant to link to the previous article in the series, which sets out the New York Times' astounding spin more clearly - this is the one where they claim that it was somehow an attack on user privacy to not make the setting which stopped companies like Cambridge Analytica getting all your data also force all your friends to install the official Facebook app to interact with you: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/06/03/technology/fa...

Like, in one part of the article they literally had network logs of their reporter's Blackberry device, after he logged into Facebook on it, pulling down information from Facebook which he was authorised to access directly to that device - and they presented this as though it was proof that Facebook were being incredibly dishonest in not treating it as though they were giving Blackberry, a third party, access to all that incredibly sensitive personal data. They took advantage of the fact that most people are too technically clueless to understand that Blackberry in actual fact didn't have that data in any way, shape or form, that it never left the pocket of the person who was granted access to it and they knew it.

This is the problem with a for-profit healthcare system. Meaningful reform is almost impossible because there's jobs on the line and therefore voters to contend with. More importantly, they are also probably highly educated and well paid voters. Doctors, software engineers, sales, etc.

How much white collar employment comes from healthcare inefficiencies? Probably a good percentage of the sector.

These workers will need to acknowledge they are part of the problem and willingly give up these positions (or their absurd payouts from them) and vote accordingly. Or not and continue being part of the problem, which I think is your concern.

I think they mean it was a “me too” product. “Everybody’s using their messaging app. That should be us! Let’s make a new messaging app and take over that market.”

As opposed to a really new and innovative product (e.g. the iPhone) or at least one that’s a notable improvement over existing similar ones (Gmail).

It’s a spectrum rather than a hard and fast distinction, of course.

Why though? Certainly it's possible for everyone to work the same shift each day they work.

Though that kind of schedule would probably work pretty well for me considering my tendency to try to live on days longer than 24 hours. I want to sleep for 8 hours, but then be up for 18 hours. So between Christmas and New Years, when my work shuts down and I have a week off that I usually spend at home, I find myself staying up until 2 AM the first night, 4 AM the second night, and wanting to stay up until 6 AM the next but have to force myself in bed at 4 because otherwise I'd end up coming back to work with my sleep schedule almost completely opposite of the usual pattern needed to work.

All other things being equal, businesses will hire the candidate that they can potentially abuse before the one that may righteously push back. So if you are one who would negotiate the terms of a non-compete, you will not even get the opportunity until all those who will just blindly sign it have been given the chance to do so.

The smart-ass part is signaling that you're less-abusable before the decision is made on hiring you.

The devious move would be to play dumb in the domain of HR paperwork, and delay signing anything. Just say you need to review it in private and make a copy, pocket the paper, and never give it back, or even bring it up again. Or mark up the document to completely pull its teeth, sign that, and turn it in with a stack of other paperwork. HR will probably just file it and tick their checkbox for it, without even flagging it for review by legal.

Uhh, you’re aware hospitals don’t turn people away who are injured and often end up with a lot owed to them they just can’t recover right?

Also if everyone has healthcare they’ll get treated earlier before a condition blows up and... they get stuck at the ER getting a bill they’ll never be able to repay.

> there's a thousandth of a percent chance that some company is going to try to ruin your life over it, and if they try there's another thousandth of a percent chance they'll succeed. But if they do, it is _terrible_.

Perhaps you're exaggerating for effect, or perhaps you really don't understand the probabilities involved. But this is many orders of magnitude less likely than you getting killed by a meteor strike. E.g. something like [0] estimates a 10km meteor strike every 10 million years. That has (optimistically) a 50% survival rate for humans and you will live 50 more years, so 1 in 400,000 chance it gets you.

If you don't like the meteor calculation, you can look at the odds of, say, a murder in your area and both the judge and all the members of the jury are convinced you did it despite your alibi to the contrary. Maybe a million to one. Or, you know, something a thousand times more likely, like you get diagnosed with a rare untreatable form of cancer and have a year to live. Maybe 1000 to 1.

Either way, if that's what you think of your non-compete it's not worth worrying about.

> You are most valuable in a position that leverages your existing skills and expertise.

For me the key word here is "most". I interpreted the previous comment as implying that previous employers should pay for the opportunity cost of you not maximizing your value.

Unless you are prevented from getting job that leverages _any_ of your previous experience...such as requiring a new career shift. In that case 100% compensation could be merited. Otherwise 100% is not likely to equal the opportunity cost to the employee.
This seems like as good a HN thread as any to ask this, since I've been looking into it recently. What are some cars to look into if I'm interested in the following things? Or what are some cars that I should specifically avoid?

- Low appeal to thieves interested in stealing the vehicle itself, due to the hardware (locks and whatever else) being exceptionally difficult to deal with

- Some sort of secure/hidden compartment for concealing valuables (I know, I know, don't keep anything valuable in your car, but let's say it will still be more secure than keeping it outside of the car)

- Following up to that, an especially secure trunk (if such a thing exists)

- A wagon or smaller, so no minivans/crossovers or anything bigger

- Under $25k used for something recent, maintainable (was looking at Audis but I don't want to risk maintenance issues), and with low mileage, which puts Teslas out of the picture (sadly)

> They also determined that patenting rates -- a useful proxy for innovation -- dropped after the change.

In a place where non-compete agreements are not allowed, patenting ideas is a neat way to prevent your employees leaving and then doing the exact same thing for a competitor.

Where non-competes are allowed, patenting things is far less important, since employees won't be able to jump ship with your ideas easily.
