Even if you know that your company is doing nothing to find exposed secrets on the web, can a single engineer just tell their manager, "Hey, you know what? I'm not going to work on this work you assigned me, I'm going to work on this other thing which might be beneficial down the road."

Somebody has to groom the "concern" into a story that can be worked on, then assign it to someone. But often this kind of work will get passed over by a manager or team that would rather work on something else, or doesn't see it as important. If you have high turnover, that makes addressing "concerns" all the more difficult, as people aren't around long enough to coordinate working on them.

So just "raising concerns" is not going to change anything; somebody at the top has to be listening for them, and somebody in the middle needs to be tracking getting them resolved.
As noted elsewhere, the Content ID system is only there to make sure DMCA and Fair Use doesn't have to get involved since the only way to legally assert your use of a piece is Fair Use is to go to court, which is costly for YouTube if they're pulled into the case.
I feel silly.

For some reason, when I read the article, I got the impression the "forks" delivered an electric shock. I went back and re-checked, and it says no such thing. I have no idea where that came from.
Some ticker names have no relation to the company name though! You often have to go and look them up.

> The country only uses 556.5 TWh per year or ~1.5 TWh per day. 0.2 TWh is a high but much more reasonable estimate. Considering they already have .0377 TWh of storage or 19% of that suddenly the numbers don’t look that huge.

The "average" isn't the issue here. If you just look at the graphs you will see that actual production is well below the required ~0.8-1.9 TWh load for several days in a row. That's how the buffering requirements multiply. You can also clearly see how massively larger the discrepancy between production and load is, when compared to the stable output of a nuclear (or fossil fuel) plant.

> France has massive buffering from the rest of the European electric grid. It’s fine because they use peaking power not actually going 100% Nuclear, using significant peaking power generation.

France doesn't have any buffering for itself that the other countries don't also share. As you can hopefully see by just looking at the graphs, Germany currently needs far more buffering than France:

> France uses 6,939.52 kWh (2014) per year. A 0.1 euro discount is 70$ per person per year, not exactly crazy money.

A 0.1 EUR (=10 cents) discount is ~670 EUR per person per year, or roughly 40 billion EUR per year, just as I calculated earlier. This is more than the entire military budget. If this kind of money was really spent on nuclear subsidies, do you think it could just be kept secret? Wouldn't it be all over the media, wouldn't every renewables lobbyist be touting it, talking about "the big nuclear scam" going on in France?

> Germany and much of Europe on the other hand has huge energy taxes which push up their bills.

France also has those taxes[1], but the taxes in Germany are even higher to pay for the renewables[2].

It doesn't matter what is the source of an employee's health issue, the health insurance offered by the employer should cover everything. Though I can understand how some might see it differently after being prodded into place through corporate exploitation and the US healthcare system.
Quoting "https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/6278613/The-Weigh... (which I prefer to the vice.com article):

> As I went to pack my bag, I noticed that my co-workers had stopped working long enough to stare at the television screen, which showed thousands of protestors filling the New York City streets just blocks from where we sat. Suddenly, one of my teammates spoke up: "Ugh. This is getting a bit ridiculous," she said. "I'm sorry. Does anyone else think this is ridiculous?"

> My hands stopped zipping up my backpack, and I turned my head far enough to see her in my periphery -- sitting behind me with her head shaking and arms folded in exasperation.

> "These protestors aren't going to solve anything," she said. "Like, what are those people even trying to do? Seriously. What are they trying to do? Make people mad about getting stuck in traffic? Piss people off because they can't get to Grand Central? It's annoying. I just can't stand it."

I think this could be a problem of sensitivity or awareness, rather than heart being in the wrong place.

The person speaking might have felt they were aligned with the goals and intended message of the demonstrators, and was only expressing frustration with what they thought were ineffective or unwarranted methods, but...

I suspect that the speaker wasn't in that moment being sensitive to the anguish and sense of urgency some people might've felt, over brutality and related injustice. The demonstrators might've been crying "pay attention to this", and then a coworker seemed to dismiss that.

It's too bad that the writer of the piece couldn't speak up in the moment. Though they alluded to some of why, and I think I understand.

(I probably wouldn't have spoken up then, either, even with lesser stakes for myself. I learned this from a workplace incident, when I was walking up to a group of (presumably straight) coworkers chatting casually about some gay issue in the news (this was before the first US gay marriage), and one of them, who was normally thoughtful, started riffing glibly on how "it's unnatural". I doubt this struck me as deeply as the writer had been, and I hadn't really felt part of an oppressed group, nor had to fear anything around that -- but I was still shocked in the moment, and speechless, as I felt like my face flushed, and I walked away quickly. In hindsight, they were probably within earshot of another coworker, who I knew to be secretly lesbian or bi, but I don't recall whether that registered in my mind at the time. Elsewhere in life, I try to do what I can, but I couldn't speak up in the moment.)
The shift from coal in the UK wasn't caused by the miners strike.

Britain kept on using coal post strike and pit closures, it just bought foreign coal (not even necessarily cheaper) instead.

The Dash for Gas is what killed the use of coal for generation.

>Nextmove said its Model 3 vehicles had paint defects, faulty wiring, scratches on the dashboard, faulty wheels and condensation in the headlights.

This seems like a pretty significant list of defects for only 85 cars. Assuming one incedence per defect, 5 / 85 ~= 6%. Thats a high rate of failure from tesla.

Hopefully damage is being incurred during transit. Tesla is still responsible, of course, but its better than having bad core processes.
If you fix the underlying issue, you should reduce gas.

If you have a mental model as to what is going on and you try X and it works, then you infer that maybe you are on to something, which may be the best metric you have.
When that comment shows up, there are two very different motivations. One (mine) is to underscore the math to better visualize the size of the problem. Note that I still said it's worth doing.

Another is to use it as some sort of premise to implicitly argue we shouldn't do anything, which is completely different, and which I explicitly disavowed.

I think it's been well-known in the industry since the early days of VR that people don't like clunky headsets. But it's not like you can just will into existence a small, lightweight, standalone headset that delivers a smooth VR experience. There are hard technical problems to solve: inside-out tracking, battery life, heat management, optics, etc. The Oculus Quest is a step on the way there, but even after spending billions of dollars, they still have a long way to go.

The problem with lightweight AR is that with current technology, it's not that useful. If you've ever tried Google Glass or Focals by North, there's not much you can do with them that couldn't be done better with a smartwatch [1].

And if you try to pack a larger FOV display or more processing power into the glasses, you end up with something like HoloLens, and then you've got a similar problem to the VR headsets -- it's probably not something that you'll want to wear for long periods of time (you can't anyway due to battery life), and certainly not something you'd wear walking down the street.

It's not that these are missed opportunities. On the contrary, there are a lot of people who have been working on them for years with billions of dollars spent in the process. But they're hard, and it will take time to get there.

> I don't think we have data available that backs up that hypothesis.

I think this is another key point in favor of this device. The traffic safety data that exists comes from police reports. Each officer has to key in the information when they handle an accident, so having a device like this in the hands of those officers is the first step in starting to build that kind of data set.

The left is in a huge pickle about the Hong Kong situation.

They have been screaming "decolonize" for decades, now they see Hong Kong people wave UK flags:

The fact that life might have been better under UK occupation goes against every one of their belief:

And don't forget about Zen, where according to some you think about...not thinking. But, yeah, it's a pretty broad term along the lines of "church". That word is a good start, but is often not descriptive enough to be used as an umbrella term.
I remember being in uni in the early 2000's and going to a conference where one of the presentations was how they tricked a GPU into "rendering" an image that was basically a simulation of fire propagation, and how it was faster (about an order of magnitude) than the fastest CPU simulator. They had a few issues because it was complicated, and the texture data type were not exactly what they needed, and, and, and...

And then CUDA emerged.

So it's not like they magically thought of GPGPU -- there were people working on it before CUDA, but yeah, they had the vision and invested the money and hours of work to make it happen.
I have 2 insurance companies, State Farm being one. I decided okay, I'm going to switch immediately as I read the article, only to realize the other one was also named in the article! I think the issue is to push a law prohibiting such cozy relationship between cops and insurance companies. There's a strong conflict of interest when cops are getting paid by insurance companies.
> And how many candidates spend hours of their valuable time in those take-home assignments, only to get beaten by a purchased solution?

In the few hiring processes where I've participated as a hiring consultant, take at home tests were only used in the initial stages of a hiring process to filter out blatantly incompetent candidates, who in some cases represented about 90% of all applicants. We're talking about basic fizzbuzz stuff.

Even so, in subsequent stages the candidates who made the cut were again evaluated based on their technical skills, mostly to weed out candidates who might have cheated their way through the first stage.

This meant that it was impossible for dishonest candidates to eat the lunch of candidates who were cut due to their performance of the take at home test because anyone who failed that test was obviously not a competent developer. I mean, are you expecting to be hired as a professional software developer if you can't write a for loop?
Don't know if that's true all the way around, put down more than 20% and had to have multiple very specific types of coverage, and they needed proof every year that the policies were renewed. Every year I held the mortgage, I got a nastygram because their system didn't do the auto-checks at the right time. Could be specific to type of home/location, though.
I've heard that the Cowardly Lion was played according to pretty much every gay stereotype of the day. That seems to fit the thesis of this article very well.
It also gets pretty macabre in parts. Specifically The Tin-Woodsman of Oz where the title character wonders whatever happened to the girl that was the reason he was cursed. You see, he fell in love with a girl who was enslaved to a witch, so the witch enchanted his axe to chop parts of him off every time he swung it. Eventually, there was nothing left but the tin replacements.

And if that isn't enough, it is established that nothing in Oz ever dies. Including all his chopped off parts...
> Also, he thinks he's smarter than every one.

Wow, are we insulting people like we're twelve now?

Again, I have to ask. Why are you not writing a replacement for systemd? Again, another person in this thread seems to think they know everything yet don't seem to have any code to show for it.
Wow, I'd like to read the study. That really doesn't match up with my experiences reading and re-reading... at all. I usually get much more detail out of a text the second time, and some books (especially some fiction) rewards reading more than twice.

from the article

"“We believe the customer’s decision not to take delivery of its remaining Model 3 orders wasn’t entirely due to quality issues, but was largely influenced by their frustration with an unrelated dispute from earlier in the year,” Tesla said in a statement, without elaborating further."

Translated: Nextmove wanted fleet discounts Tesla wasn't willing to provide and they grasped at straws to get out of the contract. Model 3 famously had fit and finish issues in the first runs but most issues are resolved and the quality of vehicles coming off the line now is pretty good. The famous panel gaps issues, I dare anyone to go measure them on your current car and on a Tesla built in the second half of 2019 and tell me if it's any different. I've seen BMW with pretty questionable craftmanship and tons of electrical issues that are super expensive to resolve.

>Am I the only one completely unsurprised?

No. I noticed the same thing hearing the drum of intersectionality beaten so often.

Crenshaw's foundational piece[1] on intersectionality lacks any meaningful analysis of class (except for the class who is party to a lawsuit)! The part about entry into the country club is revealing: it's not about equality in society, it's about equality in the professional-managerial class.

Adolph Reed, Jr (despite maybe going too far in wholly rejecting identity politics) really gets the point across[2]:

>...the burden of that ideal of social justice is that the society would be fair if 1% of the population controlled 90% of the resources so long as the dominant 1% were 13% black, 17% Latino, 50% female, 4% or whatever LGBTQ, etc.

Re:

>The only bizarre or disagreeable bit is how it ever got passed off as somehow altruistic or progressive.

My take is that the left holds similar liberal viewpoints, so there is just enough overlap to wear the progressive (and therefore altruistic) cloak.

Or maybe they don't agree that it's a problem worth protesting in the first place.

It's interesting that you immediately draw the conclusion that there is something "wrong" with the person or that they are "broken". Having a different opinion than you never seemed to enter the realm of possibility - unless, of course, you conclude having different opinions is being "broken".
Intel also got burned by Itanium; though maybe if it had been a many-core design as well the payoff would have been worth it. (Looking (about a generation later, Itanium first released in 2001 and cell development started then) at the Cell processor the PS3 used, the idea was probably around at the time and didn't seem to pay off very well their either...)

Arguably one of the things that Nvidia really got right was learning from those past failures at other companies and making it easier for developers to utilize the platform starting from a standpoint that they were familiar with and helpfully nudging them towards what would run fast in parallel.
In a previous discussion regarding RL learning materials, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20294453

Someone commented:

> there's still no great resource to learn RL "from scratch" - there's still a huge gap between Sutton&Barto and implementing DDPG. You have to figure out everything by reading existing implementations, various Medium posts (a lot of them containing errors and imprecisions), and research papers. I wouldn't consider Spinning Up as a beginner-friendly resource, it's too dense/math-heavy. The closest I have found so far is the Udacity course: https://eu.udacity.com/course/deep-reinforcement-learning-na.... which costs $1000

I too think OpenAI's Spinning Up isn't beginner-friendly. But I also don't want to just learn bandits and tic-tac-toe. Will this course fill the gap?
I understand where you're coming from with this, and empathize with your perspective to a degree - but I have a lot more faith in humanity and free enterprise than you seem to.

Yes, if climate change models are remotely accurate, Greenland will become much more valuable and will attract commercial interests. I see this as a good thing, though - humanity will adapt to changing conditions. Individuals and communities will be impacted, some in positive and some in negative ways.

In short, I wouldn't see this as "now people get an opportunity to fuck up this place, too" - I see it as "the loss of natural resources in some places is offset by their gain in others".
Seriously...85 units. A cancellation of a $5.5 million contract would not warrant articles on Reuters and Bloomberg were it any other company.
Are you really equating someone choosing to remain at a job where they work with assholes to slavery?

Not everyone has the economic freedom or mobility to simply leave a job. Jobs and orgs change over time, so you can go to work one day and find out the new lead for your team is an asshole.

It happens every day to people who don't have the option to leave their job whether it's in an Amazon warehouse, or the top level engineering roles at a FANG company.

It's not even close to being comparable to slavery, but it is still being forced to work with assholes because the leadership team isn't doing a good job of removing assholes from the work environment.

I think it's really difficult to see this as a non American, especially from a nation has homogeneous as Norway. The question must be asked: why is American policing so brutal? Why is the criminal justice system geared towards punishment instead of rehabilitation? Why are so many members of Congress former prosecutors? Why did the 13th amendment -- which abolished slavery, make an exception for those convicted of a crime?
Keeping the coal plants online is just another way of paying welfare to the workers and the firms that own them. Taking money from everyone else and giving it to the outdated machines and workers with outdated skills.

Note that I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with being on welfare. But as a society I think we should decouple our determination of who deserves to be on welfare from our decision about how rapidly we want to destroy our environment.

In other words, let's just pay them normal food stamps or welfare checks, not keep the polluting plants open for decades longer than necessary.

For some reason many American workers feel totally proud being the indirect recipients of corporate welfare, yet would feel ashamed simply getting food stamps every month. There is zero difference between the two, except that in this case the food stamps are a LOT better for the environment.
All of that is subjective. Every single person will have a different interpretation and clearly the colleagues were fine with it. Without knowing what was actually said, there's no objective measure of whether anything even crosses the professional line or if it was this person just finding it personally disagreeable (which seems likely given the rest of the note).

There needs to be some pushback on how far people expect others to constantly read their mind and cater to their level of offense and sensitivity. Otherwise workplaces and society itself will start to grind to a halt.
I felt the same way. And once you're comfortable with RPN, it's really hard to go back. Painful, even.
Don't forget the heavy metals (lead, arsenic, mercury), radiation (coal ash is literally more radioactive than some nuclear waste) and particulate matter releases that come from burning coal. Natural gas isn't optimal but it is FAR better than coal.
I mean, if anything your list proves my point. They're not used at all. Also, I was asking parent for his implementation - I'm assuming he hasn't written any actual code though.
I think it's more about attitudes, like if you're cracking jokes about being a gentrifier as if it doesn't negatively affect other peoples' lives, then that's not good.

The other part is voting -- gentrifiers tend to vote for their own interests and may overlook or vote against efforts the people they're outclassing care about e.g affordable housing.
IMO we have an unlimited supply of problems we could focus our attention to, and as people, we don't have the capacity to address them all. We sort in order of pain, and protests cause pain, and pain causes action. It's less a question of morality and more of human physiology.
