I agree with most of this, especially about the deceit and lies, even with a lot of the fast growing startups like Facebook and Google. There are also a huge number of honest startups, but we don't hear much in the news about them as they just keep going along making a couple of million dollars a year for their founders.

It is hard to hold people accountable as the legal system doesn't support this, even here in Europe. I don't know how to improve startup culture myself, except maybe to act with integrity in my own work, and to make sure that I do my homework better when I evaluate a startup

And yes, regular people generally get wiped out when they invest in startups, it happened to me a few times in the past too, but I wanted Unicorn exits too the same as the VC firms :)

> Boring argument.

No. Valid argument. For the moment we are shifting emissions from one place to another. While that might change in the future, for the moment the environmental impact only happens somewhere else. This should not be forgotten, therefore those uncritical claqueurs are misplaced.
I'm a bit mixed in this. I've actually had both experiences. I've turned two hobbies I loved intoy full time job.

The first one (magician) went as you stated, I ended up hating it, or atleast hating it as a job. It paid pretty well, but performing because I had to instead of wanted to made a big difference.

On the other hand though, I also took my hobby of hacking stuff into the my current career doing application security consulting and vuln research. Also pays quite well and I enjoy my job quite a bit, possibly even more than doing it as a hobby.

So with a sample size of me, that's 50/50 odds on finding something you love working out as a job you love. Not great, but imo not reason to atleast take a shot if your passion also happens to pay well, and is feasible.
That comment is presumably a reference to something, but it's completely meaningless to someone (like me) who doesn't know that reference. They could have made the same point in a way that more people could understand.

Pretty much every political or corporate sensitive topic has heavy bias. Even biology related topics are subject to external pressure from journalists, politicians and activists. There have been huge fights over how fetus, gender, sex, etc are defined on wikipedia.

And it isn't just wikipedia, it's all of social media and pretty much all of the internet. From silly nonsense like movie reviews to serious matter like war footage, if it has political or financial impact, it is subject to heavy censorship and bias.

As an app developer, I wouldn't care about the 30% cut if apple's In-App Purchase SDK was up to par with other payment processors.

For example - as a developer I can't cancel subscriptions on a user's behalf, even if they've requested us to cancel it multiple times, nor can I refund a user's subscription, give them discounts/free months for their troubles/etc. The thing is, when a user reaches out to Apple to request a refund (since we can't do it on their behalf), and Apple denies the refund, we get the bad review.

On top of all of that, Apple does not pay out their developers until 30 days after the end of the month. That means that we can be waiting for 60(!) days before we receive revenue from an active, paid, subscription. They don't even let us know how much we will get paid for the month until a week before payments are dispatched.
I know it is being beaten to death, but a major issue with voting is the counting part. The counting is where the fraud is being perpetrated (and no, I'm not so naive to think it doesn't happen). Seattle. Minneapolis. Milwaukee. Detroit. Philadelphia. Broward County. And those are just recent examples.

I think there is counting fraud from sea to shining sea. What are we going to do to make the vote counters less able to rig the vote and cease "finding" boxes of absentee ballots or whatever at the last minute with 99% precincts reporting?

The economy measures where humans allocate their efforts. We put more effort into the arts than we do into getting food out of the ground. It's not nonsense.

Of course, there's an implicit bias that the arts are trivial, but most people these days don't do real work, they do virtual work. If you're in finance, STEM, the Arts, law, or education, your job is to move information around. People who do real, useful work with tangible value generally don't make much money.

OK, but there are no iPhone deserts where only iPhones work and Androids get no signal. I don't see any false choice here. There are plenty of other phones on plenty of networks, with plenty of Apps. If there are more or better Apps on the iPhone, arguably that's at least in part because of their careful policies on curation of the platform rather than despite them.

At least in the U.S. culturally I think we still have a long way to go when it comes to having what some have termed 'difficult conversations'[0]. In essence, confronting people with their behavior but in a way that's respectful and focused on the impact it has on the recipient (me) as opposed to the aggressor. Sure, it may not change their behavior, but processing the experience and the associated emotions - at least in my experience - is more effective than not dealing with them at all.

At least the means of production of the energy can be updated without needing to replace the car.

In an ICE, every car comes with its own power plant burning gasoline to produce energy.

With electric cars, power generation is distributed among a much, much smaller amount of power plants. Upgrading those is much more expensive, but by upgrading one, you've instantly upgraded all the electric cars powered by that power plant.
It works like at charm and since the early 90s in Switzerland[1]

Alas, as a cooperative it's not profit oriented and there are certain restrictions, notably that vehicles are location bound and need to be picked up and returned at fixed stations.

That said, with a bit of planning it releases you from the dirty details of car ownership and this for much, much less money.

There are other ventures in the form as you describe it (private ownership loaned out). But to the best of my knowledge that never caught on.[2] (German and French only)

You may be right, I don't know. I will probably have to wait until some good unbiased sources explain how the whole thing unfolded from start to current day. I've been wrong before, and maybe I am this time too, but right now I give Mark the benefit of the doubt until I am sure

It's still not a valid argument.

Burning gasoline in a car is far less efficient than burning coal in a huge power plant. The gasoline refining process is also power-hungry. As an added bonus, it's also possible to capture at least some of the pollution from a power plant in ways that aren't possible when you have to shrink things down to car size.

An average EV charged off a coal plant still pollutes less than an average gasoline powered car.

>And building AWD cars by having two electric motors is almost surely not more expensive than the ICE way.

You need a differential for each driven axle. The expense of the extra motor and motor controller vs the expense of the transfer case (or FWD based equivalent), and drive shaft (not really all that expensive) is probably close to a wash or slightly in favor of the ICE vehicle. I don't think you understand how cheap and commoditized drive-train parts are. Like really, these assemblies are cheap and almost go together like legos (from an OEM perspective). It's not like you burn tons of engineering hours making a FWD or RWD vehicle into AWD so long as whatever floor pan you're working with was designed to be AWD compatible.

The number is of frames (or faces?) per second is meaningless without context...

- Detect at least one face in a frame (count)

- Detect all the faces in a frame (count)

- Detect the location of the first face in a frame

- Detect the location of all the faces in a frame

- Is the resolution 64x64 or 1028x1028

- Is it only finding some of the faces (what’s the accuracy)

- 1500FPS on what hardware

Anyone have the paper, otherwise, why is this here?

Extraordinary claims, require extraordinary proof, I don’t even see a README.

I don't think that blindly trusting wikipedia is nearly as bad as blindly trusting media. Wikipedia, while not perfect, has a way to moderate itself. Media needs to deliver fresh and high impact news, this ends up being an incentive to replicate news from other media without fact checking or a minimum analysis.
IMO while money can influence any of them, the incentives for poor content quality in media are worse.

I really don't understand why. The point of the article is to simply convey that "art" is a larger part of the economy than many people realize, and that maybe we should think twice about cutting funding for the NEA. Not sure why that makes everyone so defensive here.

Stop making stuff up
I don't see why everything published needs to be the absolute truth (which of course nothing can be).

If they had published six years ago, the whole community would have been able to validate and confirm in those six years,
instead of just their own lab. Someone in a different lab might have had a better idea and the thing could be validated in two years instead of six.

As long as results are transparently and reproducibly shared, knowledge is knowledge and there's no reason to hide it.
I think is more due to the fact that they see themselves as 'too Big', with lots of leverage.

These are valid concerns. When a platform is young, it tends to cater to acolytes, sycophants and charlatans.

Rust only disables these checks very selectively.

The idea is good, MS did same in C# since the first version in 2002. Allows to do pointer arithmetic when you really need to, for performance or native interop.

What I don’t like about Rust is they use unsafe to workaround language limitations.

In C# I have only used unsafe code couple times over the course of 20 years. The standard library doesn’t use unsafe code either, at least in modern .NET all these collections are 100% safe code. The main, safe subset of the language is good enough for the majority of practical applications.

In Rust there’s tons of unsafe code in standard library, substantial amount of unsafe code in third-party libraries, and if your software is complex enough, your own code will likely contain usafe as well. This causes safety issues: https://medium.com/@shnatsel/how-rusts-standard-library-was-...

> For the moment we are shifting emissions from one place to another.

Well not exactly, we're replacing a product that will by necessity produce polluting emissions (and not only CO2, btw) from fossil fuels, with one that is able to use whatever source might be available, from coal and nuclear to solar and wind power. In programming terms, decoupling the responsibility of energy production from that of transportation, with all the flexibility that this entails. You become free to optimize energy production as a completely isolated problem from that of the vehicles that drive you around.

Herd immunity[1]. There is a threshold however, and if the vaccination rates get too low then herd immunity is less effective as the free-riders become a risk vector.

Just confirming this is accurate. SIP wouldn't need to be disabled completely, just the blocking of unsigned kexts. (Apple allows you to selectively enable and disable pieces of SIP).

I don't think this would be so wholly unreasonable. The types of users installing third party video cards in their Macs are the types of users who should know how to do this. At the cost of their security, you could argue, but of course you still have normal Unix root restrictions to protect you there, as long as you're savvy enough to not grant such permissions to any random software.
