I have yet to sign up.

I have missed meetups, other social engagements, family photo shares, news and such that were on FB only. Get routinely made fun of by family and friends since I am the "techy" who is "afraid" of technology as they say.

But people I care about I contact via email, chat, talk in person or phone. Maybe I am strange and I just never felt the need to either broadcast to everyone what I am doing or keep an eye on what everyone else is doing unless I am talking to them one one one.
Right, it's the classic "God of the gaps". People invested in some kind of faith latch onto areas not yet explained by science. This relies on the false belief that if something isn't explained by science, then there's an opportunity for faith to provide value (aka faith is needed to provide an explanation).

I feel like we are getting a bit deep in semantics now.

Even if it was true in all 50 states, we could claim it is true in only a subset of those 50 states since a set containing all 50 states is a subset of itself. Had the claim been a proper subset instead, this wouldn't have been the case.

And even if it was true in all 50 states and all smaller governments therein, one could claim it as false because some businesses have to run under franchise rules that disallow the practice. I think such a sentence should be interpreted as talking about the general case of what is acceptable (acceptable in that people do not hold nearly an equivalent level of protest at the federal law on tipping and on organizations that follow it or state level varieties that allow a similar practice as they do for DoorDash's practice).
The problem with the pit in the olive or the chicken in the vegetarian dish really don't have anything to do with the waiter. You should have tipped the waiter and simply have refused to pay for the meal. And tipping the waiter is not because the service was good but because without your tip they can't pay their rent. They're really at your mercy.
On the other hand I do think the whole tipping culture in the US is broken and something should be done about it.
Why is it that you assume that a PhD or community support makes someone right? And surely he gets his paycheck from someone just as Y does, right?

Estimating the success of re-identifications in incomplete datasets using models
This has happened to basically every large web app company. Turn on debug logging in the app which logs HTTP request headers and likely doesn't strip out sensitive information. Easy mistake, and hopefully it wasn't like this since the beginning, and was maybe only found to be an issue for a subset of Robinhood's logs or something.
The heart of the problem is that SWAT-ing is possible.

You shouldn't be able to make an anonymous phone call and have the police bust down someone else's door guns drawn.

An unverified phone call alone should not amount to probable cause. That's not civilization.
15 years ago,I worked on a residential project. Being a young boy with not much of work experience, I found it quite amusing. One day I got assigned to register all incoming deliveries. So here comes this truck with bricks.The driver gets off the truck,I inspect the bricks and he gives me the paperwork to sign: it says 7 trucks with n pallets of bricks..I look at the driver,at the truck and ask him: so where are the other 6 trucks??? The driver looks at me,has a good laugh and says: that's not something you or I need to worry about. Just sign and move on...The H&S inspector from the council used to pay occasional visits to the site.He told the site manager that if someone dies,he should call him first and then the ambulance...The owner of the business used to come on site on weekly basis to pay us wages.He used to carry a briefcase stuffed with money and a gun...On the opposite site of the road there used to be the office of a political party..The head of the party used to come to our site for money. The site manager used to call the project owners,local millionaires, asking what to do.They used to tell him to give him the money and they will reimburse him later on... It was a circus of a highest order...
This could have just been an unfortunate escalation of the political tension which seems to be omnipresent, but once you drag the police into the game it becomes deadly. I suspect the idea of "counter-doxing" made sense at one time, when CNN was threatening to dox people over memes, or when someone is doxed, fired, and humiliated, because a twitter-ista thinks you've manspread too far (/s?), but none of that even remotely compares to swatting. Sending a (generally speaking) overzealous police force to a persons home after convincing the police a violent crime is underway, is on the scale between assault, and attempted murder in my opinion (and that's assuming no one actually gets hurt).

Edit: There seems to be some confusion below. I'm not excusing the police of their responsibility by any means. Its important to remember the vast majority of swatting incidents end without violence, thanks almost entirely to the professionalism of the men who have just kicked down a door (or chose not to kick down the door, but knock instead) and found out that the phone call they got about a guy in his living room butchering small children is actually just a dude playing video games or whatever.

Edit2: I'm a pretty libertarian fellow but if you are incapable of thinking of a scenario where you would want the police to kick in your door and storm your house with guns, then you either have no imagination, or you live in a magical fairy tale land and I'm super jealous.
Someone should jump an actual shark in one as a stunt though.

If I were making this decision, or the decision about what should come next, I would be trying to create quantative evidence about what works and doesn't work to inform the choice. I didn't see that in the article.
The problem with non-religion-based worldviews is that you still have to bridge the fact-value gap somehow, which necessarily entails "a huge variety of different axioms that become undebatable and completely mess up our public discourse". In fact it's worse: some religious worldviews are moored to truth claims, but secular-materialist moral philosophy fundamentally can't be.
Up 8%? It's down 10%+, what made you think it would go up? Rest of the market ripped up? The S&P is up 20% this year while Tesla has gone down 20%.

Edit:
>The opportunity cost of owning it has been huge while the rest of the market ripped up

The S&P is up over 50% in five years. TSLA could go up 20% tomorrow (and ignore today's after hours change) and the S&P would still be outperforming TSLA.
Centralized public infrastructure is not required. Decentralized infrastructure works.
Genuine question: how would the non-involvement of humans make such issues unlikely? Doesn't the machine learning process involve trying (which, in the case of programming, would probably mean deploying to some users) what is quite certainly a combination of successful and unsuccessful things, to see what sticks?
They sold a lot of existing inventory (as in, cars sitting on lots) this quarter. That generates cash.

Tesla has a demand problem and is discounting cars in order to maintain the growth story.
It was a statement about a 5-year period in a stock issued just a few weeks longer than 9 years ago. Are you seriously making a cherry picking argument?
Agreed with this but you have to wonder: if the “delivery fee” is not paid to the driver, and there is truly no additional work to prepare a delivery order than a pickup or dine in order, then .... ??

> Antifa: organization with no leadership structure, composed of citizens who are dedicated to preventing fascism from spreading, using means that are historically proven to work.

"Historically proven to work"? Since when have leftist street gangs ever stopped a fascist movement from rising to power? It was the fear of leftist street violence that won whatever small degree of public support the SA had, bolstered the official narrative about the Reichstag fire that led to the passage of the Enabling Act, and the Nazi anthem "Horst Wessel Song" capitalized on the killing of the aforementioned Horst Wessel by the "antifa" of the day.

Setting that aside, what the fuck is the point of making excuses for political street violence anyway? "Sure, we act like a bunch of brownshirts, but at least we're not fascists!"
Meta science is a science.
In my experience, it's usually the people who've been here for long that tend to express views differing from what we're all supposed to believe. So maybe it's a reverse eternal September? Maybe it's a reflection of a growing disillusionment with geopolitics and its reporting in western media?

I mean, the story looks pretty damning on the face of it, but you have to consider that the last time the same media called a ruler a "bad guy" and people acted on it, it ended up completely wrecking a perfectly fine nation (Libya). Some time before that, the US wrecked another nation (Iraq), justifying it by fabricated stories people bought into at the time. I think you can excuse people for their lack of trust.
> If it is non-physical then it cannot have any impact on the physical world by definition.

Well, that depends on your definition.

If non-physical things have no interface with physical things, then they might as well not exist -- their non-existence is tautological and the hypothesis is meaningless. So the only meaningful "non-physical" hypothesis is one that allows an interface with the physical.

I can prove it for myself, but not for anyone else. Same as everyone else. Nothing in that statement defines an "it".

> The problem is that there could conceivably be brains that perform all the same sensory and decision-making functions as ours but in which there is no conscious experience. That is, there could be brains that react as though sad but that don’t feel sadness, brains that can discriminate between wavelengths of light but that don’t see red or yellow or blue or any other color, brains that direct their bodies to eat certain foods but that don’t taste them. So why is there nevertheless something that it’s like to be us?

I don't think so. What even is this "conscious experience"? I hypothesize that it's an illusion. A sufficiently complex robot would indeed have the same "conscious experience". Qualia is nothing more than complex arrangements of molecules in our brains, it's an abstraction, not something fundamental to the universe. Maybe stars and planets too have some sort of rudimentary "conscious experience".

I can't prove this, but you can't prove that you have "conscious experience" either.

> that no physical property or set of properties can explain what it’s like to be conscious.

I think that it can be explained but we just don't have enough knowledge of the internal workings of the brain yet.

For some reason I get really exalted when people such as the author disagree with me on this, of all topics. I don't know what it is, maybe it makes me angry that people don't realize it. I know that sounds really arrogant (specially when author has a phd in philosophy), and I might be wrong and look like an idiot, but I can't control this feeling. I feel the same way a teenage atheist feels when he hears a religious person speak about god (I know this because I was that teenage atheist).
Yeah, there's a little corner place near here that has pre-made (not by them), pre-packaged sandwiches and lunch rolls in an open fridge/display in front of the register. You walk in, you pick out your sandwich, you put it on the counter and you pay for it. The cashier is literally that, someone who presses a button picture of your meal on an ipad, inserts a card, and returns card to you...

... and gives you a dirty look when you don't tip for "service".
That's how I took it. They can then compare to what the human driver actually did, and find false positives (driver continued when the AI would've stopped) and false negatives (driver stopped when the AI would've continued).

Why? Technically speaking, it would be nice if there was another single word with the appropriate gravity and specificity that described the indirect destruction of people's lives and/or wellbeing, but practically speaking, there isn't, mostly because this particular kind of attack didn't exist in such a form in the past. Language evolves as society gets new stuff added to it.

I'm also a bit confused here. It seems that a lot of the commentors here have either not read the article posted at all, or are intentionally trying to manipulate the HN comments so as to confound any future ML algos with what amounts to jibberish and noise. There seems to be an inordinate amount of people talking past each other and calling each other names (or something similarly in bad faith). I may just be tricking myself though and seeing things that are not out of place in any other thread.

You are misreading the Ford statements and comparing the wrong numbers.

Tesla's non-GAAP "Operating cash flow less capital expenditures" is $ 613,929 [edit: in thousands, so $614 million]. Ford's same GAAP amount is $6.5 billion, or 10x Tesla's non-GAAP FCF for the same period (Q2).

Ford's "company adj. free cash flow" is a non-GAAP item that includes other items beyond capital expenditures.
The numbers track the order that the cells were executed in. So, strictly speaking, you need the numbers to be able to reproduce the output of the notebook's author. However, I think it's bad practice and pretty uncommon to publish a notebook where you need to execute the cells out of order. So most of the time the numbers aren't useful.
Agreed. They should be (5) Input: / Output:. Where input and output are on the same level of indentation under (5).

Might take a lot of lawsuits to get them to verify info before acting on it.
No, that's my response to your question about how you could dox a journalist.

Now, Krebs doxed people in the past who didn't want their true identities revealed. Often because those people were up to no good, but sometimes Krebs went a bit overboard in my opinion.

More in general, and I am not saying Krebs ever did this, there are valid reasons why people might not want their true identities widely revealed. Think whistleblowers, some critical journalists, etc.

A more general definition of doxing would be "publish personal information that the people to whom this information belongs did not give consent to publish". As such, I don't see doxing as generally evil, it depends on the kind of information and context. Out a criminal? OK. Out a journalist? Probably not OK.
Then what do you propose, people give their names? But then they'll give fake names. So ask for proof of identity? Is that even possible, let alone expedient in an emergency?

The solution is to take these reports seriously, but with a grain of salt. i.e. don't just shoot a guy that walks out of his house while confused.
No, it’s that anecdotal experience doesn’t really say much about a global platform.

Teenagers usually don’t use FB. They have other means to keep in touch with their peer group and they don’t want to be on the same platform as adults are on. But you see once they move away and want to keep in touch with family, they are more likely to be on it.
No, it's not: Twitter is explicit about the types of information that cannot be shared, and Krebs didn't share those things. Twitter also explicitly exempts information available from public sources. A public LinkedIn profile certainly fits that exemption.

When I finished eating twenty minutes ago, and you haven't topped up my (now empty) glass, while I wait for you to drop off the check, I'm going to argue that "seem quicker" is pretty synonymous with "_is_ quicker", whether appreciated or not. And I'm sure the people waiting for a table in the lobby would agree too.
Carlos Maza is not a journalist. He's an activist posing as a journalist who advocates deplatforming people, covers for antifa, and is ok with violence being used to silence people.

Antifa is a group who thinks it is OK to use violence against people they disagree with. They end up actually being a fascist organization.
He meant up 8% over the five year period.
Restaurants have to make up the difference for the whole pay period, not per-order, which means any individual tip goes 100% to the waiter. And restaurants expect that they don't have to make up the difference because waiter pay after tips is expected to exceed minimum wage. So the rule where the restaurant has to make up the difference is just the loophole that lets them get away with paying less than minimum wage in the first place.

Whereas DoorDash's model was set such that you had to tip over $10 for the dasher to see a single cent of it. This meant that nearly all tips went to DoorDash instead of to the dasher, because I have to imagine most orders don't have a >$10 tip on them. And this was calculated per-order instead of per pay period, which mean that, as a customer, your individual tip was going to the company instead of to the dasher.
“Vast sums are continually changing hands in the litigation upon them. They have probably made and unmade more fortunes than all other agencies combined.” He was spot on with patent lawyers!
See, you're overcomplicating things. If you just had the correct opinions to begin with, you wouldn't have to bother with wondering whether other people might know something that you didn't, or that you might be wrong. You would just realize that, by having the right opinions in the first place, you were totally in the right to violently suppress anyone who might disagree with you.
I would encourage you to think on this some more until the discomfort diminishes. Just because things are deterministic (at a level of complexity that is difficult or even possible to imagine, let alone predict with our current understanding), doesn't mean your experience is any less real or important for you.

Imagine you are on a rollercoaster: you know your course is pre-determined, but you can't see too far ahead, and it sure is a fun and surprising ride along the way.
