Your phrasing there is not the clearest, but if I am understanding you correctly, would that not then be the 'fault' of the Australian government? A country can write whatever laws they want, but it's ultimately up to the country hosting those individuals to determine whether those laws mean anything. For a contemporary example the several Mueller indictments of Russian nationals are completely meaningless. They will never face a day in court because the Russian government does not tend to yield to US influence. There's 0 reason that e.g. the Australian government could not behave similarly, if they so wished. It comes with political and other risks, but so is the same with all decisions people make.

Multiple sensors, stuff like Google "night sight" and all that fake bokeh are impressive. But compared to the benefits from liberating the optical path from the burden of minimizing distortion and vignetting they are little more than lipstick one a pig. Simplified optics improve the source signal, some hard trade-offs that defined camera design for more than a century have been blown wide open by a simple 2D convolution.

Admittedly, multiple sensors also create more/better source signal to work with and unlike optical path simplification it's an improvement that can be repeated over and over again (just add more), but currently it's main importance is that it is something for buyers to see, without diving into the subjectivity-infested depths of image quality comparisons. I have no doubts that a bad multi-sensor would sell better than a good single-sensor.

Don't you realize that those are very expensive? Cook rice, pasta or potatoes for your calories and you could get by on that amount without going hungry. I lived on that amount for years, you'd get around 4000 calories if you just bought cheap things which is more than you need so you can buy lentils, meat, fish and vegetables for the rest which is enough to get all nutrients you need. Might not get 100% optimal diet on this, but it is healthier than what most eat.

Social sciences and questions about how a mass population would behave are always fuzzy. Some people would and some people wouldn't. My argument is that most people would lie to others and themselves, so much so that it encompasses the greater majority. Although I said all people, I would argue that common sense implies the phrase "almost all" because such absolute answers don't exist in the social sciences or sciences in general.

Also I didn't emphasize hard choices involving death. I was referring to life's work. Something you believed to be true your entire life and suddenly you have to give it all up because it's not true. (Think religion and evolution). There are examples of people slowly accepting the truth rather than instantly but even those are few and far in between. To maintain the illusion people build scaffolds like intelligent design to make sure their old frameworks fit the new ones.

I'm not talking about coexistence either. There is no need to bring that topic up. The only fact to support my thesis here is that part of the population is verfiably delusional for sure.

I also disagree with you about honesty. It's more complex than that. People can lie to themselves. Their biases can mold their behavior to the point where they deny logic. One religion must be wrong and those people will fight to the death for their beliefs just like how a fossil fuel company must be wrong and they will fight to the deaths for their beliefs.
Nice summary!

I have a small herd of goats, mixed between dairy and meat varieties of a few different breeds. They're great to have around for lawnmowing, milk, and fun. They are as interesting and expressive as dogs and cats, each with his or her own personality and distinctive behaviors. They can be troublemakers when they want, finding any available gap in the fence just to test it, but who doesn't?

In the https://peergos.org/features page we can read:

"Alternatively you can pay another provider to store your data (they won't be able to read your files). Currently, we have a small central server which stores usernames and public key"

So IPFS is useful to eventually have your data copied to other nodes, but you need centralized servers for basically all reliable operations?

Unrelated to Tesla, but WeWork recently set up a holding company to buy stakes in buildings it rents from. The name is ARK, which the CEO said in an interview stands for Adam, Rebekah, and kids. The company quickly said his answer was a joke and gave a real definition.

This is interesting because at Enron The LJM company set up by Andy Fastow was created to let Enron move assets off their balance sheet, even though Fastow kept his CFO job and control of LJM. Over time this allowed Enron to hide losses and was one of the main reasons the company fell. The funny part is that LJM stood for Lea, Jeffrey, and Matthew, who were Fastow’s wife and kids.

You seriously can’t make this up.

Fundamentally I would say yes, however most of the countries that the US would likely do this to (Russia, Iran, China, Cuba) have contingencies in place through the implementation of country wide intranets[0][1]. Within those countries you also have localized social, financial and e-commerce services that minimize the general populations dependency on foreign companies and services.

So the US could cut cut them off or manipulate their connectivity to the global internet through something like BGP or DNS, but the impact would be far less than the US doing that against a country such as Canada that has a deep reliance on US infrastructure and services.

No, but it's close enough to be round-trippable which is all most applications need. That is, if you do an FFT with enough precision to use the same number of bits as the original representation, you will get values that are close enough to the correct values that if you do it again, you will get the same numbers back, to the limits of whatever precision you were using.

My nubians (and nubian/alpine crosses) are much more personable and sociable. I attribute it to the breed being selected for these traits, so that they will be gentle and docile on the milking stand. They're gentle and sweet.

My boers, on the other hand, don't care much for this type of relationship with people. They'll swarm you for food, sure, but they seem much more interested in goats than in people. I don't think any of them particularly like me.

The Dilbert perspective is a shallow one.

End of the day, a big company or government agency is too big for any human to internalize. It's a machine that pumps out process, but the downside of consistent process that change is more difficult.

When I worked at an agency that supported social services, some guy was bitching and complaining about how everyone who wasn't him was stupid, the agency was awful, etc. One of the more respected directors walked by and heard this. She popped in and said something like "There are x million people who depend on us to feed their children. And y million people who expect us to do so in a responsible and equitable way. We've never missed a payment, ever, because of this team."

Another example is the military, which is probably the dumbest possible bureaucratic institution ever devised. Yet is capable of executing the mission with ruthless efficiency, and can survive in the face the adversity and loss that few organizations can.

Smaller organizations are always better at reacting to change, because there are fewer stakeholders. But, they suck at many things, including consistent delivery, paying things on time, and organizational resiliency. Software makes them better, but software is its own form of bureaucracy with its own set of problems.
Oh dear God ... I just finished this exact project this week (ok, 90% similar)[0], everything he says is true.

The insanely messy data (bathroom intergers are a mess!), the firm essentially being just a collection of smaller firms in one building, the massive issues with 'finder fees', the near endless list of VPs that have to pass anything off, the contractors not knowing anything, the 'real' employees also not knowing anything, the hosting of websites, the brokers paying for useless (to them) web-dev, it's all true! Nothing has changed in ~25 years!

I love the Costco Tillamook cheddar and my girlfriend loves the whipped cream we get from there. I used to drink 2-4 cups of whole milk / day when paying off my student loans and bulking but it seemed to affect my stomach poorly. So I switched to almond milk for my protein shakes.

Some of my favorite ways to make tasty chicken + rice dishes from Costco is the Maya Kaimal simmer sauce the frozen stir fry vegetable mix. The simmer sauce isn't the cheapest option, but I pay extra to make my normally boring/cheap food taste good enough to eat for 5+ days straight. I use my pressure cooker and end up with super tasty Indian meals without the chicken being overcooked.

Funny enough (actually the opposite of funny), the systems used by law enforcement are designed to create more false positives, which then leaves it up to law enforcement to decide which "leads" to follow up on. This will certainly be used to validate abusive behavior.

Additionally, facial recognition is used in some countries right now to silence political dissidents[2]. If you think that can't or won't happen in the US, I'd suggest you look at how activists have been treated in the past (beaten, arrested, and sometimes killed).

People also want the federal government to fund the construction of this infrastructure, which is a very hard sell (and possibly unconstitutional) if you don't average all of those states in some way. Most of the opposition to Amtrak and existing infrastructure projects like the Gateway Project is coming from those states, who don't see improving rail service in the Mid-Atlantic and New England as something they want their tax money spent on.

We need to fix that problem, and that means not simply writing them off as irrelevant because of their lack of population. Australia is likely facing the same problem.

As long as no one distributes it (binary or code) to Huawei I don't think they would be in violation of the license. They aren't personally required to do so.

But anyone with access to the binaries (not in the US I guess) is allowed to redistribute it to Huawei, and the GPL then requires google to grant Huawei a license, not doing so would appear to be in violation of the license.

It's funny how tech and food have so much in common. Wanna make a lot of money? Sell people absolute junk and tell them it is good for them. Once enough people have listened and you've got critical mass, wholesome healthy alternatives that are sustainable over the long term can be eliminated by implying they are "uncool" with clever brand placement.
IMO, the way to resolve this paradox is to realize that the equilibrium adjusts slowly, then all at once. IBM is a pretty clear example of your clueless behemoths. On the other hand, their net income per employee is now closing in on like $24,000 annually, which sounds good, until you realize it was $29,000 2 years ago, and Apple is around $600,000 and Facebook is around 2 million.

IBM will continue to target their most expensive employees for layoffs while hiring cheaper new grads, but even after those alleged practices, their profit per employee fell by 5k. Seems reasonable to expect they won't be around in a decade, though I'm no financial expert and this is a projection from two datapoints.

Ask HN: Selling your successes on engineering teams at large companies
I'm at a FAANG company in an IC engineering role. I am paid well for my work, and like what I do. But I hit a ceiling and was rejected for a promotion. This process gave me feedback on where I need to grow to get promoted in the "next quarter." It is also an opportunity to pause and figure out what I want out of my career.

The promotion wouldn't change my work, but it's a validation of some successes.

One negative data point was low git commits. I work in an ambiguous space with a new product. I spend much time understanding the problem, org, and dependencies before I write code. Everything is decentralized and little is documented. The code solves for a well defined problem and doesn't need a lot of refactoring after launch. I also break down complicated problems into designs for smaller projects that other SDE's on the team can run with. The low commits are a reflection of this.

From leadership books I've read like Good to Great, making space for others to grow and be successful is a key element of long-term success of a company. I have no regrets about taking on this mindset in my work, and have seen some peers I mentored get promoted. It feels good to see my teammates grow and our product mature. But I'm not getting the same support from my management chain.

How do you "sell" your successes with management and peers who are focused on micro details like commit history? I'm feeling discouraged about staying on my current team. "Next quarter" promotion is not guaranteed. My career is my responsibility but it feels like I've outgrown what my team can offer me, and I have a fear that this "stagnation" is now tagged to me, and communicated to peers and managers who were involved in my promotion evaluation.

Appreciate any advice from folks who've gone through similar situations and bounced back stronger.
But we don’t know how much.
> claiming that parents adopt to “virtue signal” or simply to ostentatiously demonstrate their open-mindedness.

That's one of the more annoying type of phrases these days. I feel like people who use the term "virtual signaling" just use it as a filler for "I don't like you or what you do, so I'm just going to claim any good you do is a lie."

There do seem to be occasional narratives that target adoption. I find it very strange as the circumstances that people I know who have adopted their children from seem like situations you would never want a child to be in... but they have felt attacked by the concepts that in adopting they were imposing themselves on another nation or culture and doing something wrong. Meanwhile those children I know who were adopted are receiving love and the best care possible for a number of different challenges due to their earlier lives. What is it the people who make such claims think would happen if these children weren't adopted?

It seems like adoption for some reason fires up some low level responses in lots of different people.
