Lol I forgot. I checked again at 1pm Aus time and most states had more or less 10% which is higher than I expected.
The Australian comparison would be something like the republic referendum in 1999. As a constitutional change, the law required both an absolute majority at the federal level, and a majority in the majority of states.

If the Brexit referendum was held under the same rules (pretty reasonable for a change of this magnitude), with countries for states, then the Brexit referendum would not have passed due to Scotland and Northern Ireland voting to remain.

There's no such thing as perfect democracy, so we have rules to protect ourselves from ourselves. I'm not exactly disagreeing with you, but I think we shouldn't pretend that democratic processes are perfect.

As an aside, it's interesting that you mention double jeopardy laws, because Australia seems to be more relaxed about that than most places - because sometimes better information becomes available.
I've worked in Clinical Psychology and one of my consultants kept a copy of a demented new-age 'channelling spirits' book "Seth Speaks" by Jane Roberts [1] on her desk and was adamant that I read it.

My point is that "whether someone bases their arguments on rational, scientific grounding" cannot be determined by looking at their qualifications or their employment, especially when they are speaking outside of their field. Jordan Peterson's most famous claims - firstly about a conspiracy of Postmodern Marxism (which is a non-sequitur to anyone who has even a basic understanding of postmodernism or marxism) and the claims underlying his rise to internet fame - fearmongering about C-16 bill including being extremely misleading about the specifics of it - are absolutely not based on "rational, scientific grounding", and his CV doesn't change this.

Thank you! We've taught our daughter to emphatically say "No thank you", and told her she doesn't need to hug or kiss anyone if she doesn't want to, and I've gotten some real angry responses from adults. I've had to intervene when an adult insisted on coming in and hugging after a totally unambiguous no thank you.
Hi Andrew

Thanks for posting your project in full. Too much of RDF/linked data is in the abstract, to big to see the moving parts, or behind propriety doors. I'm at the beginning of the learning curve so it's much appreciated and quite a number of things about the data workflow clicked in - nice to see a graph and instance create process in rd4j.

I'm wondering if you've come across an approach to push the outputs of quantitative sparql queries such as your shot points% to a visualization tool..but, I'm looking for a semantically aware approach.

So as to be informative to this forum.. what do I mean... I'm not talking about a basic flow of the output a flat file (e.g. csv) and digest by a generic tool - take the pick of zillions of libraies here, but Power BI is my current bug bear where Microsoft has sold the promise of self serve BI but leaves everyone else to manaage the chaos of cleaved, chewed and duplicated data and fragile and disconnected calculation(DAX measure) code base.

So what am I looking for ?

Let's call them "measures", but in the rdf construct they are sparql queries as you've documented so well. The measure operates on data that meets constraints of it's type and cardinality amongst other things, but which has, if required been automatically changed as to the conforiming "pattern" using constraint rules. I then build my client application with visuals e.g. a chart or map that displays the sparql query results. The visual changes based on properties or constraints on that data. More over the acutal measure is stored with the data and encapsualted in the client application. Plus it has full provenance also included. I note here that general ontology and instance visualization tools abound, but not what you could call BI tools for charting etc.

I know these have been concevied and prototyped before. See: https://composing-the-semantic-web.blogspot.com/search?q=cha...

I have been building my skills and work flow in a team that's adopting shacl and spin rules to drive data ignestion through to interfaces in the Topbraid tool set. The space is coming along but for this use case of charting and visualizing seems to have stalled, with the above UISPIN work now deprecated and waiting... maybe for shacl and some shacl javascript mappings to come to the rescue.

I've found some interesting new work using webcomponents (polymer/LitElement) that makes sense:
https://blog.resc.info/reboot-of-using-interface-encapsulati...
But it feels a long way away for me to tackle conceptually and skills wise with yet another code framework to get on top of.

Hoping you've seen some potential paths mate.

Cheers

Simon
Both are true simultaneously:

* professional security is needed, and this is what it costs

* the cost is more of a barrier to smaller companies (and hence provides an advantage to larger companies)

It seems like an inherent tension; I'm not sure how to get around it.
It depends. If you are comparing it to the one that nearly wiped out the native population on two continents and plundered two more, even the occupation of Korea and China by Japan suddenly starts looking rather attractive, which is a very scary thought, btw
To own something is to control its destiny. What gets sold when you sell something is that control.
"when I say I art I'm talking music, paining, sculpture, etc. Things that only have aesthetic use, not functional use."

Painting, sculpture, and music have had functional uses since forever.

They had functions such as:

- reminding people of what happened in the past
- teaching people moral lessons
- exulting or placating gods
- inspiring troops to be braver in combat
- honoring the dead
- letting people see things they couldn't see in person
- training doctors and scientists
- providing propaganda for rulers or religious organizations
- inspiring people towards revolution or to right various wrongs

and on, and on, and on.

Only relatively recently has the idea become popular that art should be divorced from function, placed in museums or galleries, and be appreciated merely for its aesthetic value alone.

That is concerning given what we know about AP's behavior.

The behavior demonstrated here was new as of March 2018, later disappeared, and then reappeared again in an AP update in 2019 [2]. This issue was also demonstrated to appear at the location of a Model X crash that resulted in a fatality [3].

Then there are the two left-turning white tractor-trailer deaths in Florida, seemingly identical conditions on divided roads, spaced 3 years apart [4] [5].

You could say, "well I don't have conditions like those where I commute", but then, you don't know where the next screw-up will be.

EDIT: Here is another case, just happened two days ago [7], a Model X on autopilot unexpectedly veered right at highway speed, crashing into a truck.

Also note, there is no proof that AP is safer. NHTSA's "40% safer" claim was debunked when they were forced to release data as a result of a lawsuit [6].

> In fact I personally think it's quite analogous to how airplane autopilot actually functions

Airplane pilots have minutes to react to autopilot malfunctions. In a car you may have only 1 or 2 seconds.

> suppress freedom of speech, and journalism, ...

We've lost the right to complain about Chinese censorship. We actually owe the Chinese an apology for criticizing them. They've clearly been vindicated for the 21st century.

When New Zealand and Australia blocked some of the most popular websites on the Internet at the backbone, I think that was the last straw for the west making any claims to having the moral high ground.

Google, Facebook, and the other de-facto governing bodies of our Internet flaunt their suppression of voices that they don't like. At least the Chinese government seems mostly to be about keeping public order. Companies like Google and Apple will ban your app in revenge for you not bowing to them, while simultaneously distributing Saudi Government wife-tracking apps[1]. And Google loves the Chinese government and wants very much to be in their good graces, and is selling out innocent people to do it. So really how are they any different?

The Chinese are just about power, but they don't insult you with lies. They don't lie to you that it is in the name of security, or worse, in the name of morality.

To be honest, I'd feel more comfortable using Chinese Internet, because at least their censorship is predictable, relatively fair, and only concerned with preventing the spread of fake news. You can be politically incorrect and rude if you want, and not worry about police showing up at your door, like in The UK and Germany. Unless you are legitimately making terroristic threats, it is very unlikely you will ever get the Chinese government visiting you at home.

The output side can be spread out to allow for higher laser power. The safety issue is how much energy goes through a hole about 0.25" in diameter, the size of the human eye, at the closest you can get to the emitter. If you spread out the outgoing beam, this is less of a problem.

Ouster is interesting. But it's not a no moving parts system. It rotates. It's like Velodyne's spinners, but with more integration of the lasers and sensors onto single ICs.
Always a bit amusing when people who ride trains then complain about the time. What a wonderful thing to set the world aside and just relax.

I've enjoyed several 3-day trips (no sleeper) from the midwest to the west coast a great deal. Apart from the scenery, there's the honesty and storytelling ability of the landscape. Travelling through towns and seeing what the townsfolk seldom see. The weather sweeping across vast plains and mountain forests.

If you know some of the history of areas you're moving through (which is very easy to do these days), no audiobooks or iPods needed. Fellow passengers may have remarkable stories to tell - even with no words spoken. Oh, and that 'no smoking inside' thing? Don't take that too seriously, keep an eye open.
I wish that article wasn't quite so one-sided. It mentions that 2/3 of 250m of its budget goes towards subsidising or outright housing people, but how many? I.e. if that money went away, how many more homeless would there be?

I would imagine that would be a better argument than countering with a different number, since it would actually speak to the effectiveness of their budget. Or, show the budget to be not very effective, though I doubt that to be the case.
TFA mentions some interesting possibilities. Reduced lead exposures. Increased prosecution of drug dealers who use minors as soldiers. And non-punitive management of nonviolent crime, leading to reduced recidivism. [Except maybe more broken vehicle windows :(]

But maybe it's also the availability of recreational drugs from online dark markets. That'd be quite the trip, no?

I really wish we (the public) could stop hyperventilating and let the investigators investigate. When they finish, we can work on making the necessary changes. Aviation has a remarkably effective safety culture. That doesn’t get many clicks though.
The author mentions how after he's deleted his facebook account he started seeing weird instagram ads and I can very much relate to that.

After I deleted my facebook a bit over a year ago, instagram suddenly switched to showing me Mexican targeted ads despite the fact that I've never been to Mexico and don't even speak Spanish. There's pretty much nothing you can do about it as far as I can understand, so I've been diligently marking all Spanish ads as "non-relevant", which I suspect accounts to nothing.
Yeah, if you have absolutely nothing then of course it's going to look boring. Instead, fill that space with art and murals: way more pleasant and it adds a lot of culture to your city. I don't recall which city it was, but there was one in Europe that removed advertising from their train stations and replaced it with art pieces.

Ask HN: What if my startup is acquired twice?
Hi all,

Quick question for those in the know. If I sold off the assets of my startup for stock in the private acquirer and then 1 year later those exact same exact assets were sold off for 10x value in cash to another acquirer am I basically screwed? How would my current stock be valued since only a portion of the acquirer's company is being sold off? Anyone have any clue!?!

>To be honest, I'd feel more comfortable using Chinese Internet, because at least their censorship is predictable, relatively fair, and only concerned with preventing the spread of fake news.

If the Chinese internet isn't that bad, then Google isn't bad for collaboration, and then the indictment of the West doesn't work. Likewise if Google is bad for wanting to turn in people to the Chinese government, then China is bad for having people turned in to them.

Even then, there's a certain irony to saying, "they're stamping my boot into my face, but it's not so bad because they're not pretending they aren't." In the US the government had to pretend that the NSA wasn't really breaking the law, because the people still have some power and the law some meaning.

Now, if you want to say, "they're both evil," fine. Evil is a binary thing, so it naturally sidesteps the argument about who is stepping on your toes and who is sawing them off. Still, Chariman Xao sure is holding a sharp saw over there...

If you forget that there are degrees of the problem you will not be able to find your way towards improvement. It's like gradient descent in optimization.

I was afraid that my comment will turn into USA vs. China. or _____ vs. China. That is all we do here on HN. Every single time anyone criticizes China, there is a preposterous tendency to "soften" the criticism by showing examples of other countries doing one or two things - pick and choose your favorite thing.

I am honestly frustrated with openly criticizing a regime, doesn't matter who, without resorting to comparisons. I almost put a disclaimer on my comment to avoid rat-hole'ing into ____ vs China comments.

Not very compelling because:

- The exact search for that string returns nothing

- You can still force it to do that quite easily by clicking "Search instead" right at the top

If you search for a term with no occurrences which is very likely to be a misspelling of an existing popular result, what maximizes total usefulness for users?

- No results (10% of the cases you are actually searching for something that does not exist)

- Here are the results for the term you're likely searching for (90% of the time) + btw click this link right here to get (no) results for the nonsensical search term

"The metaphoric mind is a maverick. It is as wild and unruly as a child. It follows us doggedly and plagues us with its presence as we wander the contrived corridors of rationality. It is a metaphoric link with the unknown called religion that causes us to build cathedrals — and the very cathedrals are built with rational, logical plans. When some personal crisis or the bewildering chaos of everyday life closes in on us, we often rush to worship the rationally-planned cathedral and ignore the religion.

Albert Einstein called the intuitive or metaphoric mind a sacred gift. He added that the rational mind was a faithful servant. It is paradoxical that in the context of modern life we have begun to worship the servant and defile the divine."
