The law that says you must do what a judge orders isn't unjust. If people can ignore a judge's orders the entire justice system falls apart. Contempt of court is a serious thing.

If something is unjust, it must be complained about directly. In your example it is reasonable to complain about the law mandating sterilisation, but it is unreasonable to complain that a judge is requiring people to follow the law.

I don't really see how to get worked up about the publicly available information. The real issue is that the US government seems to have avenues available where it may be able keep not just the indictment process but also the trial itself secret; given all the damage done to the legal system in the hysteric response to 9/11 which will now be employed on people who are terrorising the US government.

I'm going to preempt anyone trying to say say that the FISA court system is not for cases like Wikileak's by pointing out that nobody knows what that court system is used for in practice. It is secret.

You’re doing SVD by lecture 3 (typically the last thing you do on a LA II course), so brace yourself. If you’re not already VERY good at LA I’d wait until you are before attempting this.
> Yeah, but if you're doing all that, and you're landing between 34 and 36? I mean, let's be frank, Stanford is not looking at you if you're lower than 33. (Unless you have a wicked 3 point shot. Or you're a genius on the piano or something.) So, yeah, you did all that test prep, and end up scoring about the same as some local yokel from Angleton, TX who took the test cold? Or some broke kid from Chicago who took the test cold?

There's still a shitload of applicants between a 34 and 36. Easily more than one for every five spots. When you're talking about these universities with single digit admittance rates its not enough to just get good grades and good standardized test scores. Nine AP classes, fives on all the tests, and 4.0 GPA, and a perfect SAT score will guarantee you enough to get in the pile but you've still gotta make yourself shine like the diamond in the bush that all these schools are looking for. Having this 'Adversity Score' that's supposed to measure how much challenge you faced in life make it seem like you're an underdog that toughed it out against all the odds has the potential of being a big advantage.

> Sure, the Angleton guy's parents may be strung out on opioids or whatever, but I gotta be honest, I'm just not seeing why Stanford takes a chance on you as opposed to just giving it to one of the two kids who've proven they can perform at a high level academically test prep or no test prep?

Because not everyone believes in meritocracy. Some believe that Stanford should take bet on the guy's parents that are strung out on opioids even if he has lower test scores to advance their perception of social justice. That's just one possibility. There's also plenty of evidence to suggest that this may be a mechanism to enforce certain informal caps (like the one proven to be enforced on Asians) through geographic discrimination. Basically, a deliberately opaque (remember, this score is private and not given to the student) set of knobs and dials that can be used to achieve what normally can't be achieved legally.

Hello HN!

Our team at Canva have been working on this project for over a year now and it's so exciting to finally show it to the world.

There are plenty of stock photography sites in the world, but all of them are way too expensive unless you're some big corp. We've managed to work with our contributors to offer unlimited access to premium stock photography photos, many of which cost hundreds by itself, into a single subscription.

We'd appreciate any feedback and constructive critique you have! This is our MVP, after many late nights and Uber Eats in the offices, so flows might not be the most optimal yet, but really keen to get your thoughts :)

I think the main mobility is down, it's just that the measurements are antiquated, and the "inflation adjusted" income brackets defining various groups (or the "subsistence spending multiplier" metric and such) don't take other things into consideration, like the skyrocketing costs of now basic services, healthcare, education, housing, and so on.

It's the same games played with unemployed, where people who have given up trying to find work for a few years, or had some temp gig, are magically discounted from the unemployed statistics.

If the data exists for the underlying stocks in the market, a far better indicator would be to do an IRR calculation on every stock in the market, or every stock above a certain market cap threshold (inflation-adjusted). Easy enough.

Aside from the tracking issue, many assets are extremely difficult to price at market value. Even if you could suppose the value goes up, they pay tax, then the value goes down? There would be horrendous market distortions from a scheme like this, and a flight of capital from the jurisdiction implementing it.
I listed just a few strong non-Ivies off the top of my head. A list of other strong, non-“elite” CS schools might include the likes of GMU, WPI, RPI, RIT, or UMBC. I have friends and co-workers from each of these schools who are all fine engineers. Conversely, I’ve worked with Ivy Leaguers who couldn’t code their way out of a wet paper bag.

Also, schools with higher acceptance rates do not necessarily offer lower-quality educations, or have lower standards for graduation. One metric to consider is the four- or five-year graduation rate. For financial reasons, second-tier schools may initially admit more freshmen but ultimately wash more of them out. While this can turn out poorly for the student who takes out student loans only to wash out sophomore year, it can be a boon to strong students who, for one reason or another, didn’t have a standout high school experience.

Yeah, but whatever version of Mario Kart this is, it's pretty obvious how those two objects are going to stack up in terms of balance. Affirmative action has always been used for either of two purposes: to advance a left leaning view of social justice, and to enforce de-facto caps on disproportionately successful minorities. If you're an optimist you can portray this as giving groups labeled disadvantaged a better chance that they deserve (but invite criticism from those that may not believe in either how you define disadvantage, and from those that more broadly disagree with putting one's finger on the scale). If you're a pessimist you suspect that this is a way of enforcing informal caps on successful groups, namely Asians which have been demonstrated to have been subjected to such caps in the last several decades.

Yeah, that can happen; I'm afraid a lot of the processes at car rental firms are still manual labor.

Always keep the documents around for at least a year after renting a car; those are your evidence, and they can match them up with their internal records. (And they'll be the primary counter-evidence if they messed up said internal records)

As the sibling comment points out, SHA-2 is worthless for storing passwords. A GPU can crank through an obscene number of SHA-2 hashes per second. Bcrypt is is intentionally much slower and harder to use a GPU to brute force. The two algorithms are almost totally unrelated and it's concerning they were mentioned together.

That's a very good point. Before the advent of Google, we used to have curated link lists for topics that you could explore. It's become rare, and it's probably harder to do now that everything moves much faster (or maybe it doesn't and I've just gotten much slower).

This has never been the case and will never be the case as long as some people are rich and other are poor. A "standard of suffering" tries to show that. Maybe it's a bad idea, but the current system is extremely bad, so people who dismiss this better come up with a better alternative.

In my experience, Hertz has abysmal customer service. Getting a reasonable person (or in certain cases a person at all) on the phone is near impossible.

Last time I tried to cancel a reservation on the phone with them, it took almost an hour to convince the customer support that my reservation existed. During the course of this hour, they insisted several times that the reservation didn't exist. After about 20 minutes of this, I asked to speak to a manager and was flat out denied. Since their policy does not allow hanging up on a customer service call, I refused to get off the line until I was escalated to a manager, so over the next 30 minutes the support person called me several names, including "liar", "cheat", and told me to get off the phone and find something better to do.

Finally, I was escalated to the manager who managed to find my reservation and cancel it for me. Imagine my surprise a week later when I found out that my reservation had in fact not been cancelled and I had been charged hundreds of dollars regardless.

At this point I was fed up with their customer phone service, and resorted to emails instead. The same scenario played out again, and it took dozens of emails, credit card receipts, and 4 weeks of my time for them to finally refund me my money.

The whole experience was rather eye opening in an awful and surreal sort of way.

In Australia, there are company registered cars. If it runs a speed camera, the company must either pay a lot or cough up the "guilty" party who would pay less but get demerits too.

The Australian solution to Hertz is give out company fines until they produce who did the false report.

No need to go after the CEO or related. It's not like Hertz is suddenly going bankrupt to dodge the pitful fines.

If the potential damage is more than the company can afford, then by all means, they should go after those running the company.
As an engineer, you should go into cover-your-ass mode; make sure all of your work is reviewed, all tasks are cross-referenced to e.g. a JIRA issue, which in turn will have more names attached to it.

We are probably hundreds of years away from solving all other factors besides genetics, which have an influence on SAT (or whatever equivalent other countries have), so this doesn't seem like a huge problem right now.

We can talk about genetics again when we've fixed everything else.

When I was in New Zealand in 2017, I rented an SUV for two weeks. Except I unknowingly screwed up the reservation and only booked one week, driving off unaware of this problem. So about a week later they began trying to call my cell, but didn't get through because I switched SIMs. I proceeded to drive around New Zealand with no problems for the next week, blissfully unaware. On the day before returning my car, I got pulled over for being over the speed limit. The cop let me off with a warning. It wasn't until I got back to return the rental that I realize that I was a full week late. Whoops.

Thank God it wasn't America, apparently.
I rented out Tesla S recently with my friends to try out - doing SF to Monterey and back.

When I was driving, holding hands on a wheel all the time, the car kept giving me notices to put hands back on the wheel. After the third time it refused to reengage the autopilot.

I guess my grip wasn’t strong enough for it to notice.

On the way back my friend did a few short stretches letting go of the wheel completely (still fully alert and hands an inch away), and the car failed to notice.
>What you want can only happen when parents are no longer associated with their children in any way and all children are raised by the State so that everyone can be provided "equal opportunities" and even then the type of genes you inherit will impact your opportunities because although social inequality has been removed, biological inequalities can never be removed.

This is one of the weariest types of hyperbolic strawmanning typically employed in discussions of unequal backgrounds, opportunities, etc.

Literally nobody wishes for this imaginary future you're presenting. Not the comment you're responding to, likely not even the staunchest of activists against social injustice.

The question is, do we see children with potential not being able to utilize it because of happenstance, as a problem? Is it fair that a child from a better-off family is more likely to enter better academic institutions regardless of their merit? Should we not help disadvantaged kids?

Of course you can throw your arms up into the air and say "life isn't fair", and hold people responsible for the situation they were born into - but right now we're having this discussion, and we can make decisions and change these things. What if there's a better way?

(PS: Standardized Adveristy Scores don't exactly sound like the better way though.)
If anything, it's underreaction - not only Tesla should disable the autopilot on all their models temporarily, there should be heavy fines for both allowing it on the roads in this state and for calling it autopilot in the first place.

>>It's on consumers to understand this difference and pay full attention while driving.

Then this is a crazy assumption to be making. Like literally crazy. Pilots are trained over and over again to pay attention - and they still fall asleep during flights. With cars, even engineers who are employed and paid(!!!) to pay attention have fallen asleep while testing level 3 autonomy[0]. Expecting a regular customer to both understand the difference and pay attention is wishful thinking. The lowest bar for this technology that we should be aiming for is "the vehicle should never under any circumstances fail to observe and react to a stationary object in front of itself". Simple as that. If Tesla's autopilot cannot meet this bar it shouldn't be on the road, no matter how many times safer on average it is than a regular driver.

Pricing is a key. As far as I know, Game streaming currently doesn't have viable business model.

PlayStation Now (former Gaikai) was a startup that wanted to sell game ads (try before buy), and after expanding into actual game streaming struggled to make money and attract users. It is just too expensive.

To me, the biggest difference bt movie streaming and game streaming is that gamess are much more resource hungry. Video can be watched on cheap 30 bucks usb stick, for gaming you need 400$ console.
Salting was originally important as a defense against rainbow tables - which are more or less obsolete with GPUs that can crank through trillions of hashes per second. The real reason that bcrypt is a better way to store a password isn't just because it uses a salt - it's because its designed to be slow and to use a bunch of memory which makes it much harder to brute force.

When a collector bought Girl With Baloon/Love is in the Bin for £1m at auction that money went to Banksy, to be spent on whatever Banksy spends money on.

This is exactly the point I was making - when someone buys a new thing the money circulates in the economy. They (sort of, in the case of Banksy) paid for it to be made. They created work. When it's just two rich people buying existing things from one another the money doesn't leave that loop, no additional work is done, and there's no real benefit to the economy.

To be honest I'm just making a pedantic point about Daniel's post where he said every purchase trickles down eventually. That's just not true in a small number of very high value purchases like art. If you've got buckets of cash it's better for the economy to buy a shiny new yacht instead of a painting. Nice problem to have I guess.

> It's usually the switch that triggers a lot of hate: businesses should probably be cautious about it.

I agree. The switch is the noisy period. When you are free, you attract people who are looking for free and would probably never pay for it directly. When you are paid and ad-free from the start, you attract a customer base who understands the value intrinsically and will probably run away if you switch to an ad-based model.
