It is all relative (safety that is). If you’re driving on a new road that hasn’t been mapped with the super high res Lidar, it presents a problem. Machine vision absolutely is the holy grail here. Not you or anyone else can say either machine vision OR lidar are necessary as neither of them currently power a self driving car. There isn’t currently such a thing that can do say a cross country road trip on any highways. Not even Waymo.

The issue is that some genetic disorders do in fact have characteristic expressions from the physical to the mental. I’m not going to comment on Down’s Syndrome, but plenty of others do with the most striking being William’s Syndrome. It’s one thing to dismiss people as happy, another to make a valid clinical observation, and yet another to attempt to find a silver lining in a moment of crisis.

Leaping to judge someone’s entire mental landscape by comparison to racism, based on a single statement and possibly poor choice of words is so harsh as to be without value.

This looks like a banner that would exist only on a sales floor or something internal, certainly not something they would intentionally publish publicly.

Most of the time, I'm on laptops or a desktop. All Linux. I'm comfortable with the command-line and have moved away from GUI tools. So, I don't find this workflow convoluted.

Not much of a mobile user and use very few apps. I especially don't use apps that store data on external servers. I use Evernote for storing some information, but not for any kind of planning. I'm sure good apps with self-hosted options exist, but this system works for me, is efficient, and so I don't feel like trying out anything else.
Thanks a lot for the answer.

Do you have a routine to (re)visit your plans and see if you're on the right track? Do you even have a concept of the wrong track under this system?

How does your work time, according to the `todo`, fare against leisure time? Is it similarly scheduled, or does it come whenever the work hours have been accomplished?

Do you ever miss your goals during the hours of work? What do you do if that happens?

You wrote "At some point [GitHub] will go down like every other project does." Doesn't that mean you don't expect any good free service to stand the test of time?

Since by far the most errors I see in SQL queries are places where Venn diagrams do not accurately describe SQL behavior... yeah, I'm gonna have to agree, though I'm not sold on the alternative here. Like 90%+ of the flaws I run across in queries are due to multiple matching rows on the right side, without `distinct` or an aggregation of some kind.

1:1 matches on rows are trivial. Venn diagrams can describe these too. But you really can't let people develop an intuition based on that, early on, or they kinda get stuck and it takes a while to unravel.

In the U.S., the general rule is that you are not required to register (record) your property transfer in order to make it valid. Of course every state and county has its own rules.

There are also large lots in the U.S. that aren't owned by anybody. The last two subdivisions I lived in had tracts that were not owned by anybody, just wilderness.
No it won’t. Not a chance I switch to a below the table bank that conjures up fake financial products and claims them to be sound. My bank will give me hard copy records for free. Once they sent a 200 page fax for free. I’m sick of law breakers claiming their methods are innovation.
Why Do We Still Use Juries?
Had a long conversation with a skin cancer specialist about the harmful effects of sunscreen.

While he agreed that there can be some nasty chemicals found in sunscreen he ended the discussion with the parting words "At the end of the day it's the people that _don't_ use sunscreen that we see here in the clinic, not the people that do"
I've been using one of these for about 6 weeks, and I find it is not very accurate, but the convenience that allows checking the readings very often nearly makes up for the huge error bars. The libre freestyle 14-day is usually within 15 mg/dl when the reading is between 80 and 100, but above that range, it is usually off by 20 to 30 percent of the correct value (not 20-30 mg/dl) and mine has never read much higher than the finger-stick test, only lower. The lower numbers make me inclined to believe it, but they are simply not true, the meter gives only about one significant digit of accuracy throughout its range, and it is pretty far off or refuses to produce a reading when my blood sugar goes below 60 mg/dl.
Still, being able to see at a glance whether one is 100 or 200 is quite useful. Medicare pays about $500/month for the attachable sensors, which are extremely convenient and non-problematic so far.

There is a far better wearable system ready to go but not in production, a combined sensor and automated insulin dispenser, that has passed human trials, but no one wants to go into production with it because of liability issues. Given that people are riding in self-driving cars and landing in aircraft on autopilot, each of which are also potentially fatal and involve a larger set of variables, I wonder if and how long it will take to progress in this regard.
I did read the decision. My opinion is that the action was poorly executed, unless the point was to prematurely expend time and effort in an attempt to make case law in the absence of Diebold actually instigating a suit. IMO the would-be defendants should have waited and filed a counterclaim and 12(b)(6) motion. Case law probably would have resulted this way as well.

Also in footnote 11, the court notes that "Plaintiffs appear to have conceded at oral argument that their claims for injunctive and declaratory relief are moot and that a decision on their claims for damages will be a sufficient adjudication of their rights."

According to the decision, plaintiffs asked for and received $5,185.50 in restitution and unspecified attorney's fees, which I suppose could have been in the hundreds of thousands range if you spent too much on attorneys. The "hundred of thousands" of dollars were the result of a settlement and were not ordered by the court.

Commentaries are definitely interesting to read, even by themselves. I'll often read commentaries on Biblical books by themselves.

Future *is* predictable: the art of strategic play at corporate level
Firstly, I'm sorry for you and your wife's situation, and don't intend to sound like an insensitive dick, but I'm a bit fed up of this appeal to emotion about the livelihoods of federal workers missing a paycheck as if these cases are somehow unique and couldn't happen to anyone at any time.

No job is secure, and anyone could lose their jobs for a huge range of reasons. Government workers have some of the most secure jobs out there - they're almost guaranteed work in the future so long as they don't commit some misconduct that gets them fired, because the government doesn't have to "lay off" a bunch of staff if it performs badly. There are a great deal of people out there who would jump at the opportunity to be a government employee and have such job security, good pay, and good pension, even if it meant that they might have to survive the odd few weeks without the pay during a shutdown.

I think the appeal has the opposite effect on people who genuinely struggle to keep jobs, have lost the jobs because of market conditions or the effects of bad government policy, etc. It stinks of entitlement.

I have tried GTD and but it didn’t feel quite right for me. I believe the best system is the one that is tweaked to your life circumstances, and that changes over time. I’ve settled on the following system for now

- quarterly goals in a google doc. Every once in a while I review them and mark it green if it’s done, yellow if I’m working on it and red if it’s not going to happen. I do a new one for next quarter at the end of every quarter

- day to day in google keep. Here I use labels to categorise. I have a “who” label and a “what” label. Let’s say I’m working on a project with John. If I have a meeting with John I’ll write notes if I have to remember anything and a list of what needs to be done, then label it John and Project Name. Using this system, I can go quickly review what needs to be done on a project across the whole team, and also I can review what I’m doing with John for a 1 on 1.

Important notes or lists get Pinned, and I archive stuff once it’s no longer relevant.

- I use my calendar to prioritise. Every night before bed I take a look at my calendar for the next day and have a look what my priorities are and plan my day.

- shopping list in the google assistant shopping list

- things that need to be brought to my attention at a certain time or place go in my phone reminders

I somewhat enjoy creating half-baked / just okay / MVP things (product), but I get a ton of enjoyment by making really great things. Polishing to greatness is like compounding dividends to me.

At a higher level, my answer would be intellectual curiosity.
One must consider the possibility of such idle speculation before passing such judgement.

Can trees destroy humanity? No, they move pretty slowly and we can defeat them with axes and fire. And we've been doing just that and show no signs of stopping. If trees take over the world again, that can only happen in a world already devoid of humans. With climate change upon us, this is a "good" future for our planet -- intelligent life may arise again in a planet full of tall trees. It's a much better future to picture, than a planet like venus or mars.

Can bacteria destroy humanity? Yes, we've bred them to be immune to antibacterials -- imagine some ancient bacterium which wiped itself out by being too lethal, gaining antibacterial resistance through cross-contamination in a lab. But it wiped itself out before the invention of airplanes, and suddenly it's capable of spreading faster and further than before. It's a stretch, but almost plausible. CRISPR might help somebody make it a reality.

There is nothing that guarentees pay for fourloghed workers. Those that are required to work have the fair labor standards act, which requires them to get paid during the shutdown. Since the government is violating the FLSA (in order to comply with the anti-deficiancy act), such workers are eligable for not only backpay, but also damages. In one case stemming from the 2013 shutdown damages were calculated at minimum wage for the first 40 hours a week, then the standard overtime rate for anyone working beyond that. This is addition to the backpay of what their pay should have been (so overtime effectivly payed double during this)

Driving Lessons St Albans – Driving Schools
True, it's a terrible idea to let people label others as mentally ill or what not. And also true, something like this would be a horrible idea now, since there'd be no good, objective way to measure it.

But the question really dealt with a situation where it was objectively possible to figure out if someone was a sociopath. Like if you could do a DNA test and have cast iron evidence one way or the other.

Would that change the moral aspect somewhat?
If you want to think of propaganda in terms of advertising, it's sort of judgement advertising. Doesn't really matter who pays for it. The purpose is to not let people make their own judgements on certain things. While the purpose of advertising products is to inform public about existence of products. Using propaganda in advertisement is usually illegal too.
They were only questionable because people that used them were pissed off. But Google isn't going to trash a product that's really hitting home. Gmail is the most successful email app ever. Google Reader was a niche product in a niche market.

you can't be nice to employees and then lay them off at the same time

Absurd. I've done it. When the reason for the layoffs isn't to benefit some rich overlord (person or entity), then people can accept it, if you give them reasons to believe you'll be fixing the problems that led to the layoff. It requires communication.
The logic diagram appears to contain two registers, an ALU, and some control logic. The ALU is bit-serial, judging by the width of the datapaths and the mudems connecting the two parts.

The judgement side wouldn't be done by a person, but by an automated DNA test. So I'm thinking of a situation where (in theory) there'd be no way to game the system on an accuracy level, since it'd be based on a scientific fact.

Of course, that doesn't stop it being abused for exactly what you say, since someone has to write the code or what not.

My great great grandfather was a Cooper. He had friends in the carriage industry. When cars were starting to get big it was obvious what to do: take their years of experience making buggy cars, and now make automobile cars. I’m not so certain that the current pattern of automation is the same as the last. In the past, the automation shifted labor jobs around. The new automation is of labor itself. Asking people to exit the labor market & move to a new market is harder than I think your optimism merits.

> The maximum zoom in the map is a little too far out.

The author said on Twitter that's deliberate to stop people over-interpreting the fairly crude geometries.
<i> He and many others were able to state their critical opinions because they had the Web as an open platform, so they did not depend on anyone’s permission to publish their words. Crucially, the Web’s hyperlinking mechanism lets blogs point to each other, again without requiring any form of permission. This allows for a decentralized value network between equals, where readers remain in active and conscious control of their next move.</i>

For decentralization the root problem always existed, while pointing at another resource requires no permission, receiving and hosting that resource does. Your government has to let you receive it and your ISP has to let you host.

This is a much lower level problem compared to the three challenges Berners-Lee puts forward, which seem to have little to do with decentralization.

1. taking back control of our personal data;

2. preventing the spread of misinformation;

3. realizing transparency for political advertising.

However, there's a lot of automation that while possible is still more expensive than having people do the work.

Flexible automation is far more expensive that fixed-task automation and for companies that do a mix of many different products/services, it's not unusual that people end up being more cost effective than robots.
