Even if we had 100% 5G coverage it still wouldn't be adequate for a safety critical system. What happens when the tower fails on a hot day because the cooling system broke, or a construction crew cuts the backhaul fiber, or the carrier has an infrastructure failure because someone spoofed their BGP routes?

If level 4+ autonomous vehicles are ever going to work then at a minimum they need to be able to operate safely with zero network connectivity.
I think whatshisface is being overly dismissive of the value/information in ancient philosophy. But the heart of his comment is that you can cherry pick pretty much whatever you want from ancient philosophy because the corpus is so large. If you, e.g., selectively choose statements that vaguely line up with quantum mechanics, you haven’t proven that Ancient Greeks knew quantum mechanics or had some unexpectedly deep understanding of the universe. You did something equivalent to P-hacking to dig meaningless correlations out of the noise.
The US does make some adjustments based on income. The Affordable Care Act introduced the Premium Tax Credit which does this.

The way it works is the government subsidizes the cost of buying insurance. The money is given to you as a credit against income taxes you would otherwise have owed. (With most tax credits, you wouldn't receive the credit until after the tax year is over, but this credit has a special provision to receive monthly payments in advance.)

The amount of the credit is based on the cost of insurance (which varies by age and location) and it is also based on your income level and size of household.

The credit is for people just above poverty through the lower part of middle class. It phases out as income gets higher, and people with a comfortable middle class income receive little to no credit. At certain income levels, the credit is pretty substantial (as it has to be to cover the high cost of insurance).

Ok, that's is strange! Thank you for this! On the list you can check the little (!) icon and find out, how google got the information. In my case two order items was extracted directly from gmail.
Of course you should be suspicious.

However. He just turned 80 and realized there's only so much he can do before he dies and that seems to have focused his priorities. A couple of quotes from the article:

> Grantham turned 80 on Oct. 6. Asked how this milestone shifted his perspective, he pauses. “There’s no quick one-liner on aging,” he says. “We know this is an urgent topic, and I know I don’t have that long to do it.”

And Grantham would probably even agree with you that we should be suspicious of capitalist interests:

> Climate change, politics, and capitalism became frequent topics of Grantham’s quarterly letters. In his view, the U.S. has been pushed into the grip of an unhealthy version of capitalism, one in which corporations put profits way ahead of all other considerations. “The social contract of 1964, when I arrived here, has been totally torn up,” he says. “Anything that happens to a corporation over 25 years out doesn’t exist for them. Therefore, grandchildren have no value.”

But even more important, your comment hints at the conflict between profit and ecological health, and I think it's the role of government to realign things so that they aren't in conflict — set up regulation so that if you follow them, what you do is genuinely good. From the article:

> While capitalism “does a million things better than any other system,” he says, it fails completely on long-term threats such as climate change. “You must not expect unnecessary good behavior from capitalists,” he says. The answer, he adds, is strong regulations: “I’m sorry, libertarians, it is the only way.”

> I would say C++ is more like a zero runtime-cost abstraction language (in release builds).

Well, other than the "zero-cost" features that increase code size. For example careless use of heavy template classes can generate a lot of code.

In other words, in C++ it's very easy to generate a lot of code from seemingly innocent constructs.

Instruction cache misses, page faults (and to lesser amount TLB misses) are not zero cost.

Very nice - I particularly like the links to the MacTutor History of Mathematics archive:

Oh, I'm in violent agreement. The single biggest contribution of the STL is its set of concepts more than the actual implementations. If you do not like the specific tradeoffs for a container or algo implementation, you can swap it for a different implementation often without code changes. I.e. you do not need to remove abstraction, you just swap it for a different one.

Still it is fair to critique the specific tradeoff done by the standard library.

ETSI standardizes crippled version of TLS (eTLS)
Load Balancing in Azure: Software Load Balancer
There's a set of basics that you will want no matter which direction you go: calculus/real analysis, linear algebra, differential equations/dynamical systems, and sets, groups, rings, and lattices.

Calculus: learn to extract qualitative information about a function (it goes up here, has a maximum there, goes down there, oscillates with an increasing period, goes to this value at infinity...) and to numerically compute quantitative information about it (its value at 3 is blah, its integral over this interval is blah, its maximum value is blah).

Linear algebra: vector spaces and linear operators, and their representation as vectors and matrices. Functions as forming infinite dimensional spaces, and Banach and inner product spaces.

Differential equations and dynamical systems: extending what we did for calculus to differential equations. Phase space, orbits, Fourier and Laplace transforms, sets of linear differential equations, numerical integration, some partial differential equations. You do not need all the little tricks for special kinds of equations that you will find in, say, Boyce and dePrima. They're not helpful.

Sets, groups, rings, and lattices. Mathematics today is written in terms of set theory. You need to understand the basics of manipulating sets and functions between them. Then you should know something about groups, rings, and lattices, which are the most ubiquitously useful algebraic structures besides vector spaces.

After that, where you go is going to vary enormously. Based on what you're aiming to do.
You are right, I thought you were talking about using private keys.
yeah, I'd go with that. It wasn't coming to me at the time.

Apparently the slots are one hour, not two hour. I live basically beside a supermarket so just buy stuff on my walk home, so I'm rusty on how these services behave.

Elon Musk's layoff letter to Tesla employees
One benefit to this approach is that next time it happens you won’t have any contacts left, so you’re covered for the future.
That's not how it usually works at large layoffs. They lay off whole departments regardless of performance.
Yeah, I prefer Dart + Flutter vs anything + Android UI layer...
But the library ecosystem of the JVM and Android specifics is just too big, it will take time for Dart and Flutter to have even a small part.
And also people with knowledge of the language and the ecosystem, it may be a bit risky to use Flutter right now.

Breaking the Terraform Monolith – Infrastructure as Microservices
It's in Grantham's interest to encourage regulation that minimizes carbon emissions (because of his investment company's "Climate Change Fund").

Is it good or bad to set yourself up to profit from that?
Fun fact:

The marginal rate if you cash out stock and build a house in the SF bay area is 51%. With tarrifs and sales tax, the marginal rate on raw materials averages closer to 67%.

People wonder why there is a housing shortage.

I’d back a higher marginal rate if the brackets were somehow computed over a multi-year sliding income window.

One possibility would be to compute marginal rates on windfalls based on how many years it took to earn the windfall payment.

In the current system, startup employees defer income for years, then get taxed at astronomical levels when N years of income lands all at once.

[edit: Also, most of the tax shelters for the ultra wealthy take multiple years of sustained high income to establish, so simply juicing the max marginal rate is mostly hitting new money, as opposed to passive investors.]

That clearly disincentives innovation.
Any suggested reading on rings and lattices? I took a lot of math classes in undergrad but was never exposed to these concepts.
Personal anecdote; having your most embarrassing moments broadcast widely is good at filtering out all but your real friends. You might even find out some folks are way more understanding than you ever expected.
This is very common and has been encouraged in business for decades:

https://www.inc.com/paul-b-brown/should-you-fire-10-of-your-...

It's a short article so maybe a little leeway should be given, but it is nuts the way the author equates reviewing employees and firing employees:

You don't have to a rigid rule, such as fire the bottom 10% every year, but you do want to be reviewing your entire workforce (at the very least) once a year, with an eye toward constantly improving it.

You should be reviewing your employees a lot more often than once a year and it doesn't need to result in anyone getting fired. Reviews are a more effective process - especially in the small company environment the author is talking about - if nobody ever approaches them like that (with the expectation that people will be fired).
> How do these two things mix? A particle experiences asymptotic time dilation when it crosses the event horizon and the rest of the universe ends in that moment. Then the black hole evaporates and lo and behold the universe is not ended.

I don't know if that's necessarily correct. From the point of view of an object falling through the event horizon, nothing special happens and they can look outwards normally; whereas an observer some distance from the black hole (and maintaining that distance) sees the falling object fall slower and slower and becoming more redshifted. The falling object also become shorter in the direction of travel (according to the external observer) and end up 'smeared' on the horizon.

Leonard Susskind shows this using a Penrose diagram in lecture 5 or 6 (I think, but they're all worth watching) of the Stanford Topics in String Theory lectures[1]

Ask HN: Does anyone else consistently fail ReCaptchas?
My vision is fine. I'm young. I know what a traffic light, shop front and bicycle look like. Or I thought I did. But literally on a daily basis Google tells me I don't.

For some reason my browser continually trips ReCaptcha - it's probably Ghostery, uBlock, etc. - and I have to waste my time being told by some crappy system I can't identify simple objects. After one or two rounds it bars me from the audio challenge too.

If I didn't have almost perfect vision and a lot of patience I'd be barred from large parts of the Internet, so it surprises me somone with an audio and visual impairment hasn't taken Google to court over this.

Is it just me who consistently fails ReCaptchas?

If it is just a language for money transfer, it won’t be built. The motive behind Ethereum & the languages is to go beyond money transfer.

Once we have a VM and a general purpose language, you can only imagine what can be built. But at the time of speaking, Ethereum needs a lot of plumbing before we can build cool stuff more easily. OpenZepplin, Truffle and Infura are the best tools we have now.

Speaking of making millions (if not billions), that is a different story. I personally attribute it the manipulation of bitcoin prices by large traders because of lack of regulation and the herd problem that most of us can run into at one time or another. It also demonstrated the power (although in a bad way) of an open financial system.

Herstein Topics in Algebra or Dummit and Foote.
The war media and armaments lobbyists don't like using the actual word "war" much. That tends to highlight the fact that none of the military actions currently underway have been sanctioned by Congress as required by the Constitution. The last legal declaration of war occurred in 1942. "Terrorism" has been a useful catch-all for some time now, but when it wears out through overuse they'll come up with something else.
I think another question to ask is: do they randomize across all possible MAC addresses, or just within the block of addresses assigned to the type of device. My experience suggests it’s the latter.
Sorry but I think this is still an apt analogy.

1. "Everybody" knows that unordered sets/maps in C++ must de-facto use chaining due to the requirements imposed by the standard.

2. numpy.array is not part of the Python standard library. It is an extra component you still need to install separately. As someone who deals regularly with novice Python users (often coming from Matlab & the likes), one of the very first points of pain/confusion is the fact that I need to teach/convince them not to use the facilities of the core language to represent "vectors".
We have a close friend who's been fired after just a month on the job. Basically, everyone that was hired with her has been fired on the spot.

Changing the allocator changes the type of the vector, which has ABI/API implications, especially if the vector type is not under your control.

Also, IMHO tying allocation with initialization in the allocator concept is not one of C++ brightest moments.

IMHO your complaints are minor. 2.5/5 on the awful work place scale, where 1 is the dream job and 5 is a job on which you are physically assaulted. For example, "Strong opinions that are often wrong" is a description that fits nearly every programmer and manager in the it industry.

That said, what you can do to make your life easier is to admit when you are confused and ask your coworker to clarify what he or she means. You can also ensure that your boss knows that you are working very hard on ensuring that there is no communication failures so that you aren't blamed in the future.

That your coworker has said that he or she has ADHD implies that they would like you to be considerate of their mental illness (disorder, disability, exact terminology unimportant).

This argument could be used pretty much for any field and it's just BS.

If you apply the same principle to all of language then you could say language has no information. Try it with a dictionary, the words are distributed pretty uniformly, does the dictionary have no information?

Same for the whole universe.

So are you saying that "information" only exists when some arbitrary observer (in this case you), applies some sort of filter or boundary to what they are looking at?

The person in these pictures--obviously they took the pictures they wanted and from the angle they wanted--is a former PM of Stalinist Albania. More or less it was like North Korea today, and the PM had a falling with the leader, Enver Hoxha.

The falling out has been documented after the regime fell. Now whether the falling out was enough for a suicide or homicide we don't know. What say you HN? One thing I don't see is blood splatter. Looks like someone placed him in the bed after he was dead.
