I think it would be more accurate to say it's a reason rather than the reason.

People don't like messing with multiple boxes and different remotes. A lot of customers see value in having Netflix, etc. built right into the TV. So TV manufacturers think they can sell more TVs if they build smarts into the TV.

They also can make money by selling data. But it's not as if they want to make money from only that one source. They want to make money both ways.
> Besides if anyone has a case here it’s the authors of the lyrics, not Genius.

But wouldn't this be like shoplifting from Blockbuster (back in the day)? Blockbuster doesn't "own" any of their movies, but they own their copy of the movie, so if you steal it they can still sue you.

Genius licenses their content (lyrics) from the authors of the lyrics, and makes it easy for people to find. Google took the content from Genius directly, without compensation and without changing the content (it's not a derivative).

So Google "stole" content from Genius, even if they aren't the owners of the content.

Whether this has any legal standing or not, I have no clue.

Unfortunately, it's more complex than that. I'm a hospitalist at a pair of community hospitals that don't have some services (cardiology, vascular surgery, neurosurgery, ophtho, etc). I'm used to calling the specialist at our associated academic center when a possible acute problem related to those specialities may be happening. If those specialists now refuse to do "curbside" phone consults because they can't see the patient and now can get sued, these patients are in a bad position. The tertiery hospitals here are constantly full and I can't transfer patients that don't have immediate true emergencies.

This opinion is a major loss for patients. And I also used to "decline" direct admissions based on phone consults, telling outpatient AP/NPs what I thought would be a reasonable course of action and follow-up. Will simply say "sorry" on the phone now and tell them to send the patient to the ED, where the costs are very high. This will simply jack up the cost for everyone else.

Not saying the MD in the news article had a reasonable opinion. But spend a single day with me in our busy hospital, see just how tricky this profession is, and you might be convinced that I need more legal protection, not less.

I was talking about the general situation (hence the vagaries).

And I'm not arguing for being more accommodating - I'm arguing for calling a spade a spade. To kick a group of people out of almost every discussion forum, then accuse them of having a "persecution complex", is hypocritical in the extreme.

I think you'll find there's a diverse set of messaging users and requirements.

My 70+ parents for example only know and understand SMS (and they've only recently started using it in the last six months). My brother uses Facebook chat but because I'm not on FB we have to use SMS as a lowest common denominator. He doesn't have friends on Telegram so he sees that as unnecessary bloat to add to his phone.

Unfortunately SMS still has bar none the easiest onboarding experience as it is the default chat mechanism on every phone.

I'm not sure I understand what you are proposing. Apple should... make demands on companies with which it has no relationship, and expect those companies to comply?

As I stated, Apple did insist on improved conditions at the Foxconn factories where Apple products were made. They audit the factories regularly to ensure Foxconn and other contractors are meetings the standards Apple has set for employee treatment, and report on this information annually, including dropping suppliers who fail audits.

It is not clear Apple could do more than they're doing, other than raising the standards even more. Which... maybe they should, but I don't think that's even what you're suggesting.
An analysis like that would be very interesting to see. Despite a lot of this data being public, I haven't seen any useful analyses of it (e.g., they always mix different fields or lump adjuncts in).

It would be helpful if I could select a field, a position (e.g., assistant prof), a range of school rankings, number of years since hired (e.g., hired last year), and a geographical region, and see the salary data.

I predict that an autonomous car will never be sold as a personally-owned vehicle. The entire point of the industry is to get a continuous revenue stream through taxi services.
Yes, because Waymo doesn't require special detectable hardware as proposed by GP. And this is exactly the argument the parent tried to make: Your self driving car needs to react to unpredicted changes in the environment. Sensing/visual information (incl LIDAR) thus seems unavoidable to achieve safe self driving. But getting to that point and not having your tesla drive into a wall or your uber into a pedestrian seems like the hard part and from there it is probably not that hard to reach level 4 / 5. Safety is pretty much all we are complaining about in those threads, after all.

That time has real benefits. Medicine has a huge issue where people value their own lives vastly more than doctors do. Sure, 99+% of the time X is not the issue, but it’s rational to spend quite a bit to avoid fairly low odds of death.

For example, one of the US’s top killers is pulmonary embolism which presents as any number of other issues. Doctors not taking such symptoms seriously kills. “Pulmonary embolism is a common complication of hospitalization and contrib- utes to 5 to 10 percent of deaths in hospitalized patients.” “less than half of patients who die of pulmonary embolism were diagnosed with the problem prior to death“
Mass censorship is indeed a very dangerous approach. I agree that it's a terrible idea. However, the core message of the article doesn't necessarily require censorship.

> We need to solve the problem of misinformation during pandemics together — governments and industries in collaboration with medical officials, all across the world — before there’s a crisis.

A creative structural solution might be able to address our current problems without actually censoring anything. Or perhaps I'm overly optimistic.
True, but probably not 20x true.
These sorts of articles always act as if removing some feature is a direct attack on their organization when it's very clearly not. What exactly are companies supposedly to do? It seems pretty obvious that these features could have been abused on other ways, the article even points out the privacy concerns. If they want to call for a project or a nonprofit to create a software platform to help them, or if they are appealing to these companies to leverage their platforms more directly to help their causes, that's great. But this sort of whining and victim complex-ing is tiring and unproductive.

ZeroCater (YC W11) Is Hiring a Principal Engineer in SF
This article is written awkwardly enough that it's hard to tell what the facts are.

Companies including Google, Amazon and Netflix have agreed to rent entire buildings before construction has even begun.... Content creators, as such businesses are known, have rented more than 4 million square feet of Los Angeles County office space in the last three years, real estate brokerage CBRE said.

Google is not typically known as a "content creator" business. What sort of companies count towards this 4 million square feet figure?

Later the article refers to "FAANG-type tenants". FAANG is an acronym referring to 5 specific companies. What is a "FAANG-type tenant"? One of those five companies? Any tech company?

It also isn't clear from this article whether this 4 million square feet is a lot. I poked around and from https://www.reonomy.com/properties/commercial-real-estate/us... it looks like about 250 million square feet of commercial real estate changes hands in LA every year. So this tech effect is almost 2% of the real estate market.
The title of this post (at time of commenting) is exceptionally misleading. A more accurate one is "Landlords rip out escalators and walls to attract tenants like Google and Netflix", which is the one from the original article.

You can look at the Dartmouth Atlas of Health Care and see the costs of medical care, and medical malpractice reform just doesn't seem to have any effect on medical care costs.

https://www.dartmouthatlas.org/interactive-apps/medicare-rei... Price-adjusted total Medicare costs per enrollee, that belt of bright red along the Texas coast? Texas capped non-economic medical malpractice damages at 250,000, and still they have some of the highest Medicare spending in the country. Since this data is price adjusted this isn't so much a measure of how expensive a treatment is in the hospital, but of how many events a patient undergoes in a year. So Texas doctors continue to have very high utilization rates, even after malpractice reform. So it wasn't just "defensive medicine" that was driving that, but something else.

At the end of the day, there’s a lot of differences between the many webmail offerings. The apps, the support, the feature-sets, etc. If you have gotten used to things like the nuances of Gmail filters, switching anywhere can be challenging, I think, and the same could be said about the reverse. I’ve been considering using both Gmail and FastMail simultaneously for a while, especially for custom domains. Also, JMAP is cool.

I am mostly just suggesting that folks who read stories like these and fear similar predicaments take the time, effort, expense, etc. to properly secure whatever accounts they have.

Thought experiment: if someone steals an account with no 2FA, enables U2F and other security mechanisms, how will support verify who truly owns the account? Or the reverse: user enables U2F and someone calls in and tries to claim the account was stolen?

Having humans make judgements is important because the real world is complicated and people are imperfect, but using U2F in the first place can save you a huge headache, no matter what services you use. If support can just flip a bit and disable U2F, it isn’t very useful for the same reasons accounts get hijacked to begin with.
If you do not like LAPD it is very simple for LA residents to decide how to fix them. Part of the reason why SFPD does not simply shoot many of the hobos dead it because SF population has neccessary oversight on these cops.

> For one, isn't it true that many (most?) doctors in the USA have malpractice insurance? Any lawsuit win against them doesn't make much personal financial difference, just increases medical costs for everyone else as the payment to the 'victim' (not the actual direct victim in this case) is just socialised and dispersed.

Let's say a doctor screws up and you end up having to do an extremely expensive procedure to fix that. Wouldn't winning a malpractice lawsuit allow you to cover those expenses? That's just one of the ways medical malpractice lawsuits make sense.

> For another, presumably the underlying logic of malpractice suits is to punish the underlying error in order to incentivise ... something ... that would prevent a recurrence. Is there any plausible, actionable outcome here which would prevent this type of repeated human error in future? One that that isn't counterbalanced by costs that would yield worse outcomes in other cases?

Honest question: what do you think is grounds for a medical malpractice lawsuit these days? As far as I've been able to figure out, it seems that there has to be some kind of relatively serious, provable negligence involved.

> If so, why are we so sure the courts are best placed to locate and enforce this vs the medical profession itself, which I believe already aims to save as many lives as possible?

I'm having a hard time addressing that idea, because your way of thinking is foreign to me. Look, we are talking about things that seriously screw up people's lives or even end them. To me, your idea of self-regulated medical profession sounds like proposing that, instead of suing the truck driver who ran over your kid, you should let his employer deal with him.

> In the software industry there are no malpractice suits.

Medicine and software industry are not the same thing.

> random people who happened to sweet-talk the court into perceiving "malpractice" vs ordinary mistakes

Well, there it is. You seem to believe that there is no such thing as malpractice, it's all just "ordinary mistakes" that just might end up killing people or screwing up their health permanently.
This does not go away.

That people treat this as news is for me an indication that people simply don't either read the news, or don't remember them.

Well, sure I could go do that measurement myself, but it’d make more sense to have the results in one place?

A) my assumption is more that people understand the difference between a pure interpreter and a JIT. Clearly there’s value in showing the results regardless, but there’d be more value in comparing with a JITed Python runtime as well?

B) The obvious bit is that a JIT such as V8 will generate, compile, and use native code segments vs CPython’s interpreter.

There’s plenty of use in the current results, but it just seemed to me they could be fairly easily made more useful re-running with Pypy in the same environment.
