there are two major problems with the document you linked.

> NHTSA considers a crash to be speeding-related if any driver in the crash was charged with a speeding-related offense or if a police officer indicated that racing, driving too fast for conditions, or exceeding the posted speed limit was a contributing factor in the crash.

the entire definition of "speeding was a factor" boils down to either 1) an officer was there and gave you a speeding ticket, or 2) after showing up to the scene of an accident, it was the officer's opinion that speeding contributed to the crash in some way. the whole document rests on this tenuous connection. for the purposes of this document, speeding can "be a factor" even if the officer didn't think it was a contributing factor, but happened to write a speeding ticket!

the other major problem is that the document makes little effort to tease apart other risky behaviors that may correlate with speeding. it only breaks out age, gender, surface, and BAC for separate consideration. put another way, this document describes the entire population of people who speed (which is about half of drivers in the US [0]), but cannot answer the question: "how dangerous is it to exceed the speed limit in a well-maintained car if you do nothing else wrong?"

given your responses so far, I expect you will consider this paranoid/cynical, but I don't trust the state to set reasonable traffic laws. just as an example, in my city the government was caught deliberately reducing the length of yellow lights immediately after introducing red light cameras. the state sees traffic violations as a revenue stream. they see something easy to measure (eg, speeding), and make laws that most people will break. they're not interested in investigating whether the limits make sense, or whether they are even enforcing something meaningful. no one is willing to make speed limits their hill to die on, so they get away with it.

Could causation be an issue here? I mean people who are already generally unhappy are more likely to be pursuing happiness while generally content people are unlikely to have the pursuit of happiness as one of their goals. Perhaps it isn't the pursuit of happiness causing unhappiness but unhappiness spurring on people to search for happiness.
>the extramarital partners of politicians? To me, fair game.

I knew somebody, part of our gang of friends, who had a one night stand with a local "personality", was then revealed by some "journalist" only giving a the first name and printing a picture with a black bar across the eyes (which is still more than enough for people who knew him to identify him, of course), outed as gay in the process, didn't even know the other dude was married or a "personality", and after being shunned and bullied by a lot of people including his parents and grandparents ended up hanging himself in a tree near the place in the woods where our gang used to barbecue in the summers. At least his parents showed up for his funeral.

I have no doubt the journalist who doxed him had no intention of causing that amount of harm. And yet, the journalist could have considered the situation a little more thoroughly, considering that the the identity of my friend had no bearing on the story whatsoever. I can only hope it was a mistake that this journalist learned from, and not general disregard for other human beings' welfare.

And I am telling you that story in the hopes you and others agreeing with your "fair game" will keep it in mind if they ever are in the position where they have to make a moral decision whether to dox or not dox somebody.
That's part of the problem, to be sure. Let's not decide which factors are the most important before compiling a fuller list.
Weather forecast says London is going to be 38 degrees tomorrow, with a humidity of over 60%. Railway companies are telling me not to travel tomorrow because the heat is likely to disrupt train services. Tube lines without air conditioning are going to be dangerously hot. I don’t know how this city is going to function tomorrow. Maybe it’s something we need to adapt to.

An Escape Room Where You Can't Escape Your Privilege
I think the Greek custom of AC units everywhere is because traditionally houses have been pretty cool, so there hasn't been much of a need for central AC until now. We prefer to open our windows at night and shut them during the day, and we use fabric awnings to keep the sun out. Plus, most buildings are rather old so HVAC systems weren't popular.

That said, yeah, it does look very ugly, and I wish new buildings had central AC units.

I'm not, or can't be, that disciplined. In a more general sense though, when I lay old brick up for walkways and patios, I have come to appreciate this odd zen-like state I fall into. I always have 5 or 10 deformed candidates on standby when there is a hole or a slot that a 'perfect' rectangular brick won't fit into. Imperfections are solved most easily by objects with other imperfections.
>I suspect you'd find thousands of academics who dispute your claims.

I should have chosen my words more carefully; we can probably find 1000s of academics to dispute a lot of perspectives on academia.

> are not systemic and basically absent from anyone with a career.

So, leaving aside criticism of any particular field, and to take just one pretty big cross-discipline trend, there's this 'replication crisis' thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replication_crisis
(wiki links to plenty of reputable sources).

I find it difficult to reconcile that with the idea that incentives to over-inflate claims were 'basically absent from anyone with a career'.

Maybe we think everyone was just really bad at statistics?

I’m not sure what Python’s priorities are, besides majorly sucking.

I can write software in Scala or OCaml or Racket in less than half the time of Python, while also being 10x faster.

80k€ would net you between 40-50k€ after all taxes, health insurances and a basic retirement fund. The exact number depends on you having a family or not and many other factors.

In addition your employer pays an amount equal to about 10-15% of your gross salary into your health and retirement insurance. And this pay is on top of your salary. (Arbeitgeberanteil)

Holiday is always included with a minimum of 21 days a year for a full time job. And Germany has paid parental leave included if you start a family.

Eisenhower was vehemently against freeways going through urban areas. Freeways are supposed to bypass cities. He was overruled by the bureaucracy.
This happened a couple years ago on ICE (Inter City Express) trains in Germany:
https://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/the-world-from-...

> As temperatures soared to 38 degrees Celsius (100 degrees Fahrenheit), the cooling system on many ICE high-speed trains simply switched off, leaving passengers to swelter amid inside temperatures of up to 50 degrees Celsius (122 degrees Fahrenheit).

> "A company that has aspirations to be a high-tech firm, but one which soft boils its customers instead of bringing them comfortably to their destination, has more than a small technical problem."
It's like that in parts of the U.S. as well - the vast majority of Bay Area homes do not have central A/C or even a room air conditioning unit, because for 99% of the year, you don't need one. This is getting to be a problem with 100 degree days becoming more common.

Strangely, I saw more units with central A/C in Toronto than in San Francisco. I guess they're used to hot summers there.

(It's ubiquitous in the American South, though, since many of those areas were quite unpleasant to live in before air conditioning was invented.)
> to write code for human readers first, and compilers second.

I find this very ironic in this context. After all lisp is a language where the human does half of the job the compiler is doing, because you need to write directly in AST instead of higher level language.
While careless and problematic, that is less problematic than logging passwords. The user probably reuses their password, so as soon as some developer can just look at logs and get a bunch of email/passwords, they probably now have access to other systems that they shouldn't.

That said, there are more than just logs to worry about. Is your service-to-service traffic encrypted? Then passwords are in the tcpdumps that you took to analyze a strange networking bug (you then copied the password to your workstation to look at the trace in wireshark). Do your programs segfault and core dump? Then passwords are probably in that core dump. Do you check the bounds of every memory read and write operation? Then passwords are probably in random variables (see: Heartbleed/Cloudbleed).

Sessions, though, are less scary. Sure, if you steal someone's cookie internally, you can impersonate that user on your own services. Nobody wants that, because it probably bypasses all the internal auditing systems; the auditing system can't tell that request apart from a legitimate user request. But, cookies can be revoked and have a shorter lifetime than a passwords, so it's not quite as bad.

Ultimately, it's all about limiting risk. If you have a database full of passwords, then someone compromising that database today gets all passwords ever. If you have a disk full of logs full of passwords, someone gets all the passwords that were used to log in within that log server's retention time period. If someone hacks in and starts tcpdumping your internal network and it's not encrypted, they only get passwords from users that log in while they're running tcpdump. If you encrypt network traffic, then someone only gets passwords that were in memory when your binary crashed. Nothing is perfect, but you can do more to add more security. Perfection is impossible, but not logging passwords is one step closer to perfection.
Apparently England might break their highest temp and they have a record dating back pretty far.
Fair enough. But doxxers should be subject to the same level of prosecution as people who scope out marks for robbery for example. I'm not familiar with laws in that case, but if there is some level of "conspiracy to commit crime" you can get for telling thieves about that mark, then doxxers should be also getting that.

I don't expect strangers to protect information about just how much cash I have in my wallet that they found out by standing behind me in checkout line. But I surely want them nailed if they purposefully broadcast that and a mugger overhears and robs me.

In part, this is driven by programs (as mentioned in the USA today article) where the local police forces can get the equipment itself at no cost (they only pay the maintenance, cost of shipping the equipment, and cost of storing the equipment, or any other local accommodations; all of which are a bargain compared to its actual cost)
Suppose your team needs new workstations. Or an RDBMS, a server operating system, a compiler, a profiler, or any number of things.

“Write down the requirements, we will put out an RFP and give you the cheapest supplier that satisfies the requirements” is an absurd approach. The people on your team have familiarity and proficiency with certain tools, experience with many more, and professionally informed opinions of most. These things vary wildly in terms of quality and fitness for purpose in ways that are wickedly hard to pin down in a document listing objective criteria. The best tools may be open source, or from small time shareware shops that will not submit proposals. There may be some discount IDE out there with the same feature set as IntelliJ but unbearably frequent crashes. Well, there is no credible independent report proving its deficiency, so it’s what you’re going to get. There are some ridiculous programming languages out there, but “not ridiculous according to my team” is a clearly subjective and corrupt requirement.

Do you think following this process faithfully will make your team more or less efficient than rigging it to land on the tools you know to be right for the job?

Probably that everyone was worse off, but more equal on average, thus making it look like everyone was better off. Because you couldn't easily see back then that you are worse off than John Smith across the street.

Well, the thing is, an effective turnstyle that makes it difficult to get through but makes failure to get through harmless is distinct from a barricade that makes it somewhat harder to get through, and makes attempts more likely to cause injury.

These don’t just make it harder to kick your feet over. I strongly recommend to google a video of these in action.
There’s a similar tch-rs project wrapping libtorch, and in general, deeclaring neural networks is particularly intuitive in functional languages.

I think in this thought experiment we are doing, it is reasonable to assume that all labor is labor you need, since someone has agreed to do that labor for economic gain. We're not talking about abstract labor, like someone spending time doing shitty art that no one wants to look at.
From what I saw it is individual and also based on area of CS. There are lots of people who are for example very good in JS, CSS and HTML, doing fantastic UI work while not having CS degree. And there are some with CS degree who can't really solve real tasks effectively. Some people learn only what is needed to pass an exam. And some people continuously want to learn more an be better. I, for one, started doing a degree but dropped due to lack of time and lot of work opportunities. And while school learned me some useful stuff and it could learn that way even more, I continued on my own. I am an introvert, not hating math and having lot of patience. I learned so much over years, for example C, python, PHP, bash, vim, linux administration, docker, kubernetes, mysql, golang, html, css, vue, flutter, http, cors, CSP, opengl, linear algebra in graphics, mutexes, atomic ops, Atmel AVR programming. I also learned abou free software, GNU history, Mozilla/Netscape story, Gopher. Majority of this self-tought because my life is CS, I am reading or doing something CS-related whole days because nothing interests me more. Yesterday I discovered dgraph and I am excited to learn in. There are math-heavy and scientific problems which require more school-type skills. But most real-world work is surprisingly not like this. On the other hand, lots of people lack CS history - I've heard some modern web devs don't even know what a http header really is.
Patterns. There's very rarely one mutation. It's all about patterns. The problem, and what makes this a potentially tractable problem in the age of machine learning, is that we can now catalog an arbitrarily large number of patterns and associate any given new cancer with some number of known patterns.
> The Belgian town of Kleine Brogel hit 39.9C (102F), the hottest since 1833.

Global warming is causing the heatwave now. But what caused the heat wave in 1833?
You are one American. Generally, in American culture, the things I described are commonplace and par for the course while in East Asian countries (or other smaller, homogenous countries) not so much. If it does happen sometimes in those places, it is generally far less acceptable while in America you must simply accept it and factor it into the cost of operation. Having lived here all my life, it is funny to see anyone deny it.

And I am not surprised vandalism and graffiti occurs in Brazil, India, and Paris by the way. I would group those places in the same realm as the U.S.
Lol Joel (the author) and I discussed that this week. Sounds like bpftools will need some modifications to reload a precompiled bpf program. We'd like to avoid having another copy of LLVM on device (renderscript has an old version of LLVM).

I'm curious about what you (or anyone else) would recommend as better license choices for datasets that might be used in machine learning model training?

Lots of climate stories get flagged off the front page, and rapidly. Or trigger HN spam flags from the succession of low karma deniers with "climate has always been changing", "well we don't have accurate temperature records back to the yyy age" zero substance comments. If Europe is wider awake they seem to have more chance of sticking around a while...

Which is a bit sad as it's one of the few places online I'd have hoped for a more engaging and productive discussion of the topic.

Have you tried Haskell? I have my criticisms of the language, but "too close to the hardware" would be a very surprising way to frame any of them.
Exactly. This aligns well with my point. As I said, there has not been a one-to-one relationship between patents and invention for quite some time. I don't have the time to do the necessary forensics, but I'll take 1879. Sure.

I would ask an expert :) But therein lies the rub, I wouldn't ask an expert who was known for profiting off of US-China trade policy news. My spider sense fires here because the GAO is asking the contractors, who benefit from the infrastructure project corruption, why is contracting so expensive and complex? And lo and behold, the contractors tell him, its too complex a question to answer. Fancy that.
Two points: the basic model assumes there’s a single market to sell to, but different geos ramping up may spike your supply in one market while your other segment is not deliverable yet, causing short term supply spike in one segment while simultaneously being production-constrained in total.

For the Model 3 specifically, the price cuts are mostly in-line with tax credit phaseout and they have reshuffled features (AP features moved to more expensive FSD option for instance). of course the higher end vehicles faced more price cuts, but that speaks little of the demand of the base vehicle.

Interestingly, the CAP has seen very strong uptake internationally. For people in charge of nation-state level assets like major medical research centers, the scientific rigor the CAP has learned to impose on laboratory medicine over the last 50 years sells itself.

I've been watching the progress of the Wendelstein 7-X (https://www.ipp.mpg.de/4550215/11_18) which has been making steady progress month after month, year after year. At the current pace they will demonstrate net power fusion before ITER does. Extrapolation is always risky though so it isn't something one should count on.
