Your analogy with industrial facilities falls apart.

If I buy industrial equipment, it comes with a set of safety recommendations, and requirements. On top of those may also be Labor & Industries, or OSHA.

If I fail to follow these, I as the owner am held responsible.

How do I ensure that the SDC follows these? How much control do I have over that, short of "don't buy/drive it"?

If I do follow these, I may also be hit with an insurance claim, but if I can show that the manufacturer didn't account for something I can probably also make a case against them to recoup some of my loss.

Given Tesla, for one egregious example, and their already demonstrated trend of trying to buck any and all responsibility for Autopilot-related collisions, how likely you do you think they are to step up to the plate for "Yes, our car should have determined that there was a pedestrian in the road and stopped, but didn't"?

Because I see it more that they will instead hide behind current software clauses, "not responsible for issues, errors, losses, defects".
Ask HN: Is this podcast feed malfunctoning or am I going insane?
Here's a podcast I enjoy listening to. https://cakewatch.fireside.fm/

Observe, episode 57 is online and happy.

Now follow the RSS link at the top of page, just under the banner. Episode 57 is missing with 56 ("Montagegate") is the top episode.

Since my podcast player relies on RSS feeds, I can't play this one. I've reported the issue but I've been told that the RSS has episode 57 as expected.

I keep looking at the XML and 57 isn't there. Could someone please confirm what I'm seeing or am I going insane?
Since a lot of people are arguing in the other thread I thought it would be good to share a longer form article about this.

Additionally in America up until recently the Deaf community was oppressed, told there was something wrong with them, and forced to use a communication system that doesn’t work as well for them. This led to lower education outcomes, depression, and other ills. This led to a strong Deaf culture and identity, so as to not allow the hearing to tell the Deaf that they are somehow damaged or not complete.
This is insufficient; they fingerprint your devices and collect data on your habits even if you are logged off (not to mention cross reference with their other services). Use effective blocking extensions with up to date blocking lists to block their endpoints entirely, and then get on your knees and pray your friends and family don't share too much information about you without your consent.
Note I'm not the best one to provide you with numerous examples because I don't know where the document is that has detailed all of the examples in the last few years. But hearing about this is fairly frequently.

1. There have been protests about conservative speakers at campuses and universities whom have pulled shady stuff on trying to prevent the speakers from coming. (there was a Dave Rubin one where he was magically moved from a theater to a hockey arena). Substantially high costs on security. (Also video cases of where the security isn't actually enforced [Milo at the Depaul thing.. ]

2. There have been punishments against professors who question the progressive/extreme-left movement. (losing tenure, being brought up that they're "violence-inciting", etc)

3. A Portland professor being brought up on disciplinary actions for doing a POC on how you can get a paper with outrageously false claims published without question. (https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2019/01/08/author-recent... This was a team of three that was involved one in the UK)

4. "Diversity offices" - I don't know direct examples here, but from what I've heard they've created trouble.

It's fully loaded costs, an employee is a lot more expensive than just the yearly salary. Looks like they're expanding to NYC so definitely closer to $200k.
I'd suppose it's no different than the wide use of local colloquialisms, abbreviations, and pronunciation differences in spoken language region by region. An American in Australia has to intuitively pick up a lot of new vocabulary in order to understand what's going on in addition to the obvious parsing of the accent.
The fact that restaurants confiscate and aggregate all tips to divide them among the wait staff and the never-actually-tipped kitchen staff is also not communicated to customers. It is a matter of restaurant policy.

My biggest complaint about Prime video is the absolutely horrid navigation of TV series.

If I'm browsing a particular genre, say Sci-Fi for example, I'm shown every season of each show, with it's own cover art. This serves to make their selection of shows seem more expansive than it is, which might be the purpose.

And given that they have a fair number of long running series licensed, this means browsing through dozens of the same shows.

I'll qualify all this by saying my experience is limited to the Fire TV interface, as I rarely watch streaming on my PC, but if the interface is that tedious on their own branded experience, I can't imagine the web interface is much better, though I could be way off the mark.
Dennett's point, or at least the point he was trying to make 20 years ago, is that one of the reasons consciousness confuses us is that it isn't actually quite what we imagine it to be. Our visual experience seems continuous, but we know from eye saccade movements that it cannot be. The way we feel the passage of time seems very straightforward, but the 'cartesian theatre' fallacy shows that our brain by necessity can't be processing things in a specific order.
6 years ago I joined a Swiss company that was running its entire operations on a custom built solution on top of Lotus Notes.Boy did we hate it...Every time you try open something you get this progress icon that used to take anywhere from a few seconds to half a minute. I must give credit to the designers in terms of functionality-it did all we needed(I did borrow some design solutions for my next job), but the lack of speed!!!! I even made an analysis on lost productivity and produced to my manager...Then Americans bought the company and eventually ditched that crap all together:)

That's an interesting idea though it's hard to see how it would work in practice. In practice, our scientific concepts are ultimately grounded in observational data, data accessible to a conscious observer. I don't see how scientific concepts could be restated in terms of the universe as a whole, especially when one considers we only have very indefinite information about the ultimate characteristics of it.
I'm not saying it's impossible in the cosmological sense, but I'd easily bet it will never happen, broadly, in the US in my lifetime.

If anything, the US has moved 180 degrees in the opposite direction in the past 15 years. This is largely a result of the growing inequality and huge increase in expense in major US cities. Up until about 20-25 years ago, 15% was the "standard" tip amount at restaurants, now it's more like 20%. Virtually every place I go asks for a tip now (even places like a bodega where the person behind the counter does practically nothing - I pick out my food myself, I don't need a bag, and I pay with my phone) as a result of the Square/iPad tip phenomenon, and tipping in many of these places was unheard of just 10 years ago.
which would explain why the desktop has turned into a hellscape of Electron "apps"...

The low (initial) cost of them already explains it too well.
If you just give me a .jar do I get those interfaces in a consumable form?

It is incredibly hard to shrink the GDP though. That's what Erdogan managed nonetheless - installed a kleptocratic oligarchy under the guise of religious conservatism. All outside investment vanished and national players became beholden to the gov rather than to meaningful investment. Unemployment is high, as are food prices, despite super cheap labour migration from Syria (essentially used as slaves) and massive cash infusions by the EU.
Exactly. Ads suck, but paywalls around every single thing on the Internet would suck more. Plus you can usually block ads, but not paywalls. Even if you couldn't ever block ads, they'd still be preferable to the universal paywall scenario.

But some kinds of companies should definitely look more into accepting donations and offering premium options in exchange for ad-free viewing plus extra features. I'm paying for YouTube Premium to avoid seeing ads (and they have like one premium show that's pretty good), and I think that's a pretty good deal.
In the Bay Area where opportunities abound and switching jobs is easy, companies need a way to brainwash you and help you settle into a nice cocoon so that employees don't consider leaving. If it feels like a job, any job is fine. If it feels like home or like a family, you wouldn't want to leave, would you? Companies without a strong culture or with a traditional culture experience a high rate of attrition at the hint of the slightest bad news.
I can only assume that anyone who submits "Puppeteer for Firefox" or "x for y" to Hackernews, is someone who works daily with Puppeteer / x and has the necessary context and doesn't notice that it's not aimed at a more general audience (1).

Then it gets upvoted to a more general audience, who ask "Puppeteer? what's that?"

Getting overlapping information seems like a good play, but the determination of who can be trusted on which facts (again, as a non-expert) seems like it'd be drowning in personal bias.

> Turkey's GDP peaked at $950 billion in 2013, just before Erdogan became president. By 2017, it had slid to $850 billion

Do you realise that Erdogan has been in power since 2001? So if economic downturn is his achievement, then the economic growth is his achievement, too.
I really dislike people bringing that quote up, because the full sentence was "People have had enough of experts (...) who are consistently getting it wrong". [1]

It's still not necessarily true, but by taking just part of that quote is misrepresenting what he said.

Just thought that'd be good to keep in mind next time you might consider digging it up.

I don't think that's the problem. I'm American and I'll generalize a bit and say Americans are generally comfortable with tipping as long as the service is a differentiator for what you receive (full service restaurants, hair stylists, drivers, bartenders). The recent frustration has been the explosion of tipping where service has nothing to do with the experience, like fast food restaurants or low cost coffee shops.
Debug symbols, which can be resolved at load time. This would also make ebpf bytecode more or less kernel version independent.
Sounded like the author was advocating another mega-project, which comes off a bit weird considering the article they just wrote.
But to the article's original point, the people conducting the research to prepare these reports are non-experts. So they wouldn't even know where to look for these figures.
I think there are two different things called consciousness. The first is awareness of your surroundings. Yes, your dog is conscious, unless asleep. And even then it's conscious to some degree, because it can be awakened by external stimulus.

The second kind of consciousness is being aware of your awareness - being able to watch your mind work. To our knowledge, dogs don't have that. Nobody does but humans, so far as we know. The problem is, my definition here is a purely internal, subjective one. I can't prove to you that I am conscious in the second sense; I can't prove to you that anyone else is or is not. All I know is that this is something my own mind can do, and maybe I can describe a bit of what it's like to have my mind do it. That's not much to go on for further investigations.

My favorite concept right now is the “meritocracy of ideas” - a fancy way of saying that the best ideas win. Somehow I feel that this is a core driver for success, in an organization, small or big. So by excluding smart people and their ideas you may significantly limit yourself and the futures your organization.
This is a great idea.

You could probably turn this into a product if you were to print out notebooks where pages were the templates.
That's true, but they already started out skeevy. Everyone already knows that stuff is gonna be skeevy. There's no other way for militaries or intelligence agencies to work. It pretty much has to be that way.

But some new tech startup certainly doesn't have to be skeevy to make money or to be in a position to contribute to research.
I don't really know what is so special about the school which they decided to base the entire article on. This is just a small sample of the ongoing intellectual purge in Turkey. Every university rector is appointed by Erdogan, most professors in STEM, if they haven't fled, avoid any kind of political stance to continue teaching with the hopes of raising intellectuals who will help save the country. This is the university side of the situation, most of the successful students leave the country as soon as they graduate. This migration is on a scale that is record high in countries history, according to some unofficial numbers more than 300.000 young and smart individuals leave the country every year.

And I have a problem with this story about its portrayal of Turk-Kurd relation. Turkey is an extension of a multi-national empire. For most people living there, Turkish is not an ethnicity. Most of Kurds, Armenians, Greeks, and more identify themselves as Turks. Portraying Demirtas as a charismatic Kurdish rights activist that wants to unite everyone with peace is despicable journalism. Demirtas is a proud terrorist supporter, he has stated his love and respect for Abdullah Ocalan repeatedly. Abdullah Ocalan is/was the leader of P.K.K., a group that is seen as a terrorist organization by every major intelligence agency of world, he is responsible for the murders of tens of thousands of innocent men, women, children.
It's absolutely corrupt, but in a way that still gets projects done. Many, many projects, on a scale we can't even conceive of here. It's hard to believe our corruption is worse, but Occam's Razor says otherwise.

No, we have great labour laws (employment protection, anti-discrimination, limits of business relationship well defined) but it is illegal to conceal identity in government and business matters (here in Turkey, you cannot avoid identifying yourself even while invoking the right against self-incrimination). Not like the UK or the US. Employer would think you try to conceal your essential contact info and will be able to refuse your contract.

In addition, all IMSIs and IMEIs are registered in a whitelist and tied to identity.
We weren't really oppressed by our government. The March events, as they're know here, were mostly homegrown commies pushing out the Jewish wing of the party with decent people getting caught in the purge and following protests.

But it was all happening with two hundred thousand Soviet soldiers stationed in the country. The communist government wouldn't have lasted a month without the Soviet support. The situation is different because China is not being occupied by a foreign power. Neither is Turkey.
He made up fake identities and booked tickets under their names in case someone might want to travel with him. Those empty seats, which most of the time he probably didn't even think would be used, cost the airline real money.

Yes, he had the right to reserve an extra seat but doing so under false pretenses is, in fact, fraud.

Despite what the estimable Prof. Green says in other comments it doesn't matter what airline employees encouraged him to do: it's up to you to know the terms of your agreement.

I am disgusted by the fact that I am actually defending airlines but again, if this guy wanted to preserve his cushy benefit he should have abided by the terms of his agreement.
I accept that other people's use cases and preferences differ.

But given the carnage that HTML e-mail being the normal has caused in phishing and other privacy invading manners, I question whether the benefits of those use cases and preferences out-weight the detriments of the practice. Just ask John Podesta:

> SecureWorks concluded Fancy Bear had sent Podesta an email on March 19, 2016, that had the appearance of a Google security alert, but actually contained a misleading link—a strategy known as spear-phishing. (This tactic has also been used by hackers to break into the accounts of other notable persons, such as Colin Powell). The link[10]—which used the URL shortening service Bitly—brought Podesta to a fake log-in page where he entered his Gmail credentials.[1][9][11][12] The email was initially sent to the IT department as it was suspected of being a fake but was described as "legitimate" in an e-mail sent by a department employee, who later said he meant to write "illegitimate".[13][14][15]

The best part of this thread is that the article is about why it's really hard to understand the cost differences, while the top comments all offer unsupported and anecdotal speculation explaining the cost differences in 200 words or less.

"HN: Where dilettantes opine."
Here is another way to think about that story:

DOT and their proven, reliable contractor had experience with a certain method of rehabbing the joints between concrete slabs. A new technique was tried, and the first few attempts were not done well. The new technique showed promise, but there was a concern that if the new technique failed, there would be consequences to the state for trying a new technique rather than the tried-and-true method. To reduce the risk to themselves, the DOT went with the old method.

IME, DOT and transit agencies often shy away from new methods/techniques because they are raked over the coals whenever the new approach doesn't work out (see SF Bay Bridge, or the Big Dig [0]). That makes them risk averse to trying or sticking with innovative methods.

[0] I'm not saying that cost problems with those projects are completely due to new methods/processes, but significant chunks were.
Would you say that you agree with GP's point though? It's not as if there are other things that are getting better in Turkey to counterbalance this particular measure.
They can offer a "performance"-based weekly "bonus" which would be the difference for under-tipped people. Normalizing the same pay on a weekly (or daily) basis.
Yeah, but they're just benchmarking a wrapper around gzip. It looks to be around 300 LOC and does very little.. It's a bit deceptive. A large table of benchmarks across different domains and workloads would be more honest.
Huh, sorry, I'm confused. What should I (not) be doing? I thought not disclosing being the author of the linked thing was poor form.
I believe Space Engine core is developed in C++.

However, one can embed Python for scripting - it’s not rare, but I know game developers tend to prefer lighter languages like Lua.

As far as developing games in Python only, it’s certainly doable - there are raw SDL/OpenGL/etc bindings, and some dedicated libraries like PyGame. It’s not a super common choice though.

Holy ####.

I'd used it on small projects, and I know Microsoft still use it (or at least were as of a few months back) for Teams amongst other products. I remember wanting to use it for a side-project a few years back and being disappointed that the free tier had gone, but thinking it would still probably be worth it for something with commercial value.

But... $15k/annum. I mean, I hope it's working out for them but that's pricing out a huge chunk of the market. Maybe they've just done their segmentation really well and are coining it.

> We are confident that there are technical solutions that will allow lawful access to encrypted data and communications by law enforcement without materially weakening the security provided by encryption.

False.

Also "technical solutions" makes it sound like the issue is in inventing the correct encryption scheme. Whereas in reality the issue exists because we have discovered (currently) unbreakable codes, and the invention of broken (backdoored) schemes does little to change that.

If we break all known forms of encryption, and find a reasonable proof that they are no longer possible, then I'll be more interested in this line of reasoning. And that's a pretty big if.
I don't know what country you reside, but in USA you are innocent until you are proven guilty. Prove of guilt is on the prosecution side, I don't have to prove I'm innocent. This and 5th amendment works magic against being wrongly accused; it also is indeed a deterrent to "carrier prosecutors" from trying to obtain prosecution via a good-old soviet style type of investigations: "give me a man, I give you a paragraph"
