People down voted you but completely ignore the fact that California basically tried just that and still has it on its books and the results were so predictable [1]

proposition 47 made anything below $950 keeps the crime a misdemeanor which likely means the thieves face no pursuit and no punishment. this led to a spike in car break ins as well. You can do this daily!

the simple matter he is that those voting on such changes to the law are not going to be troubled by the uptick as where they tread they are likely never to be victims of their policy

The cat's out of the bag with this technology - it exists, citizens will demand that the police use it to help solve crimes. The way forward is to ensure that it gets used as an investigative tool, rather than part of mass surveillance.

The way to do that is to make sure that querying a facial recognition database is too expensive for ubiquitous use. A court order per face you want to identify is likely enough, though I'd like an additional $100-$1000 fee to discourage rubber-stamping.

IIRC, the police have hired people who are just really good at recognizing faces and given them a giant stack of photographs of criminals. Driving down the difficulty of that sort of process - identifying suspects with known faces - seems actually reasonable. Driving down the cost of identifying faces to the point where you can have a historical database of identity-annotated sidewalk footage of an entire city is the sort of thing we need to fight.

https://www.nass.usda.gov/Publications/Highlights/2014/Farm_...

> The number of women operating farms with annual sales of $10,000 or more increased in all categories, but 91 percent of farms with female principal operators had less than $50,000 in annual sales (Table 4).

> Although more than half of all farms had sales of less than $10,000, minority-operated farms (except for Asian operated-farms) fell disproportionately into this group. In 2012, more than a third of Asian principal farmers operated farms with sales of $50,000 or more. (Table 6)

It seems as though these funds went to large 'corporate farms rather than the smaller mom and pop farms that spring to mind when you hear the word farm and think of a red barn homestead with a few 40's.

I doubt it has little to do with race, but more to do with the size of the farm/company. Although the title is true because , "Nearly 100 percent of corporate owned farms are owned by white people" , the title implies race was the basis of the funds rather than the size.

There is another article talking about the same thing with a much better headline in my personal opinion.

FAA knew another Boeing 737 Max malfunction was likely after Lion Air crash
> If you paint a lane red and make it buses-only, that gives commuters an alternative to driving. Traffic might still be terrible and congested, but commuters have the option to skip the traffic and take the bus instead.

Except for all the ones who don't, because one of the endpoints isn't anywhere near the bus route even if part of the path between them goes along it.

> Uber-style minibuses don't work because the human bus driver is expensive.

Apparently they do, as demonstrated by all the people who use Uber in preference to buses.

> Once you're already paying for a driver, it makes sense to make the bus full-size so that you can maximize the number of riders per bus.

Unless that requires you to have less frequent service that covers fewer areas, which in turn causes people to choose single passenger cars over your buses.

You can also eliminate the driver cost by doing what Uber was originally billed as -- ride sharing. You're going to drive your car from your home to your workplace and back, but if you get up fifteen minutes earlier you can make a few bucks by picking up some of your neighbors and dropping them off at work. That's a lot less than the cost of a full-time bus driver with benefits but at scale it still results in a fraction of the number of cars on the road during rush hour.
My memory of being worried about whether a "tie-wrap gun" [1] would be flagged during x-ray of carry-ons at the airport goes back to the 80's. A tie-wrap gun is used to tighten zip ties. But that company also used followed some practice akin to combing the wires.

Both parties are equally terrible when it comes to gerrymandering, I, thankfully, vote in a state that is one of seven that has absolutely solved gerrymandering for all time... Vermont - it's hard to creatively draw districts when everyone is in the same one.
However, claims that these analyses have zero-error rates are not plausible

That's an odd criticism since nothing has a zero error rate.

I guess I wasn’t clear on this point.

“At some point, they’ll stop supporting the shrinking market.”

If the market is profitable, they’ll support it. However, as the Macintosh market shrank in the 1990s, for example, some developers fled.

Also, great iPhone only apps will try to capture part of the larger Android market. As more revenue comes from Android, that’ll be their primary market.

Agreed entirely. The guidelines help add some transparency, but still are far from perfect. I do believe without them many of these organizations would be far less transparent on their own, or the numbers would be even harder to compare.

I can't remember the last time I recommended anyone attend one of these schools; perhaps never honestly. I've seen them be really useful for some people, but also really unhelpful for many more.

They are a short cut, and leave people with a large amount of technical debt starting out in the form of a knowledge gap. Sometimes you need that, but I'd still recommend (if they can) someone do Course 6 at MIT any day over a 12-week course. Even without it being MIT, there's no way to fit 4 years of knowledge and experience into 12 weeks; none.

I recently graduated with a BSc in Computer Science, and have 16 months of internship experience under my belt. I have mostly done front end work in my internships, but I am also interested in distributed systems (took a graduate course in the subject last term).
Also notable:

"Since 2014, for example, she has only visited one client in jail, according to court receipts."

So any strategy discussion is minutes before copping a plea, etc. I'd call it a plea mill. Ugh.
It's even easier to explain Lisp if we start with not a blank slate, but a slate that already includes the understanding of a Von Neumann processor that shuffles words between memory and registers, has a stack for parameter passing and temporary storage, and a heap for enduring objects which are referenced by pointers.
I am making no argument, but I will now.

He is openly admitting to being vulnerable to a type of denial of service attack. If he is flooded with communications, he would be delayed in reading other important communications.

I do not advocate security through obscurity, which is security theatre. I also think Discord should open source how various systems operate, particularly law enforcement interfaces, as I do not believe law enforcement are any better.
Yeah, Netflix ain't the problem. Even $100 in coffee budget a month ain't the problem, as long as that's not one of several $100/mo unnecessary budget items. Health care, housing somewhere with non-shit schools, child care (when young, or after school care, or summer care), those are the biggies. Food not up in that category but high, even if you spend quite a bit of time cooking yourself and rarely dine out. Utilities next. Clothing somewhere under that unless you just have to buy all your kids' clothes new, and maybe by the time you're that far down the spending ladder you've found an item that's rivaled by "frivolous" spending. Phone bill's probably down around here somewhere, too.

Oh boy, I spend zero on entertainment or other unnecessary stuff so my spending dropped perhaps 5%/mo. Great. I'm only miserable and hate life is all, but great.
I'm wondering that as well, could be an unintended side effect of some forms of hormonal birth control.

Not parent, but closest thing I can find is the Kaltiala-Heino et al. study [1], found from p7 in this literature review [2]. There it's summarized as "26% of those who had experienced gender dysphoria had previous diagnosis of ASD". But that study has only 47 people (none adults), all drawn from a pair of Finnish hospitals. It looks like an outlier among the others, which suggest something more like 5%.

I don't know since it's closed source, but I too would think that Spotify is already using skips, but in practice I think their methods are muddied up by other factors, like I mentioned here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20585757

In addition, Spotify's algorithms have the significant constraint of needing to optimize profit, and not all tracks they have are worth the same amount (that's what someone told me, anyway).

Also, sometimes algorithms rely too much on explicit feedback like thumbs up/down rather than implicit feedback (like skips). Deezer's "Flow" feature is an example. The way you use it is basically the same as for Lagukan, but from reading reddit posts about it, it apparently just doesn't work very well. There was even a comment from a Deezer employee saying that it won't respond to skips; you have to use thumbs up/down to make it adapt.

Implicit feedback can be more messy to work with, but it's much more plentiful (and useful, if you use it correctly).
Nah, both parties are complicit; no need to trigger tribalism here, just stop gerrymandering.
