Because Unions are basically corporations that go by another name and want to gobble up the market share?

Unions are not benevolent. They are bureaucratic organizations that want to grow in power and resources just like a corporation. Their interests just happen to be orthogonal to corporate interests which can be beneficial for employees.

Why Alon Levy Writes About Rail Costs, Not the Cost of Other Things
learn go with tests is great. I still refer to it occasionally even though I finished it a long time ago
terrible story.

"Henry and Schooley were ultimately indicted on charges of aggravated battery, aggravated endangerment of a child, interference with law enforcement, and involuntary manslaughter. Henry faced a charge of second-degree murder. "

...

"In February, a judge dismissed the charges against Henry and Schooley. "

not a lawyer and didn't read the brief, but the only one that seems remotely applicable to the accident itself is involuntary manslaughter or maybe interference with law enforcement depending on the context (e.g. ride inspections vs the investigation)..

Perhaps the DA should pick charges that make sense? like say, fraud (selling ride as safe when it is not), criminal negligence, etc.
As an AWS employee on the container services team one of my KPI's is definitely making things more usable. Have you seen the AWS Cloud Development Kit? (https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk) It is a more powerful infrastructure as code framework that can docker build, docker push, and run an AWS Fargate task with just a few lines of declarative TypeScript or Python code. You can see some examples here in the "ecs-patterns" module: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/latest/docs/aws-ecs-patt...

In general I'd say that AWS takes the approach of offering a lot of configurability if you need to tweak things. You can go into that low level JSON or YAML if you want, but we are also providing higher level tools like AWS CDK which do the work for you, and let you just focus on building your app with just a few lines of code.

I'd say that the referenced tutorial is aimed at being "mid level". It abstracts some things but still shows a lot of the lower level settings you can tweak directly. If you want a more abstracted, higher level getting started experience you should start with a tutorial for a higher level tool like AWS Cloud Development Kit, and use that to automatically setup and deploy to AWS Fargate under the hood.

If you (or anyone else reading this) have any specific feedback on things you want to see made more usable, or docs that aren't readable feel free to email me using the address in my HN profile.
Hi! just found this randomly, didn't know someone posted my repo. I did state that the game is currently a work in progress, and the goal is to have all the features in minecraft.
Similarly, I see web developers manually or automatically updating the (c) 2019 in the footer of Web pages. My understanding is that you want to claim an _older_ copyright date rather than a newer one in most cases so this is counter productive except for the small "hey I'm modern and up-to-date" content you're reading" signal it sends.

"we don't know" is not as good as "we don't know, but it won't be less than the material cost, which is currently X" would go a long way towards taking the people you want to get excited about this product seriously. We understand how "things cost money" works, but going "we don't know, figure it out yourself" is not a nice thing to tell people who are actually interested in what you're making =)

Even updating it to say "it will likely be in the $100-$200 range due to material cost and production fees" is fine: that's a _huge_ range, and still better than "we don't know, figure it out yourself".
Not sure how the myth that anime isn't made at 1080p perpetuates itself, but it's not true. It only holds true for most anime made between ~2000 and ~2007, because those were made already digitally, but with DVD in mind. Anything prior is hand drawn on cells, anything after is done in 1080p or above, with some exceptions. There are a couple of 4K anime already out there.
Audyssey is absolutely wonderful. It makes a dramatic difference and is light years ahead of a simple loudness knob.

However, I have to wonder - for those with Audyssey-equipped receivers, what % of owners bother to complete the setup process with the calibration microphone? I suspect that number is unfortunately low. :-/

Also, I don't think too many people listen to music on AV receivers these days. The product category itself seems to be fading.

Home theaters have swung toward soundbars, and music is listened to on computers, mobile devices, and/or Bluetooth speakers.

I'm saying this as a pretty old-school stalwart myself, with a fairly capable AV receiver in the living room for video and a bunch of audiophile-ish two channel gear for music.

Experienced full-stack developer with a machine learning focus. Building data-driven applications that deliver material business results is my specialty. I've been fortunate enough to work in a variety of industries from Quantitative Finance to Insurance Technology (InsurTech) and Recycling & Waste Management Technology (WasteTech). I'm pragmatic, professional, and put a strong emphasis on communicating clearly and developing projects towards mutually accepted first priniciples. Happy to chat about your specific domain and what might be achievable.

I enjoy solving business problems with software and diving into various domains and building solutions that have a material impact on the bottom line. One of my best performing projects (continues to save millions annually) required 70% digging into a problem domain and 30% coding. Another recent project I'm proud of is an ML-powered pricing engine that's given a $250+M funded competitor's service in the space a run for it's money. I've produced results working both as a member of a technical team and independently (working directly with key stakeholders/executives).

That doesn't go against what I'm saying. The point is that "slavery" had always been around but then it turned into something much eviler and worse. Those European slaves didn't have their condition inherited by their children through to 1865. The African indentured servants didn't go on to gain the freedom of European indentured servants. (Yes, there were many freeman Africans in pre-Civil War America, but the point of Dredd Scott was that their citizenship was only provisional.)

European indentured servants didn't have the women raped and the children of that union enslaved. Look at the skin color of the average African American and the average West African. Virtually every African American alive today has some European ancestry. This process of raping women and then enslaving the children produced by rape was not a normal aspect of global slavery.

Is it fair to blame this on "capitalism"? That question depends a lot on the semantics of what we mean by "capitalism". But at the very least, we need to explain why slavery went from being the equivalent of being alive today and working at Foxxconn (sucks but hey, that's life) to being in the Lord's Resistance Army (hell on earth).
>What does the grey market for components even look like? I can't think that anybody is bothering to steal individual components, so are we talking possibly-counterfeit parts?

So somewhat related, check out Strange Parts on YouTube. His past couple of few videos involve him building a Samsung Galaxy from components in Shenzhen and then having it x-rayed by a place that (as one of their functions) identifies counterfeit parts.

In the video with the x-ray they talk about reclaimed and counterfeit parts and you can see differences between what was supposed to be a real camera module and an actual real camera module in one of the x-rays.

For one there's no reason the whole warehouse has to be as hot as the actual loading docks and the answer to megacorp is treating it's workers poorly isn't really well this whole class of jobs sucks.
No. "Reset" is done by a circuit, and the only way to power it is by connecting that capacitor to it by pushing something into the reset pinhole. If you don't do that, capacitor eventually discharges but since the circuit never gets powered, no reset happens. So after a while you need to connect the bulb to mains power in order to be able to perform reset.
Founders: How did you come up with your startup ideas?
Properly allocating all resources that humans produce on the scales larger than tribes is only really doable by markets. Ensuring universal access to a subset of those resources is only doable through government programs. Funding government programs is only really doable through taxation. So we're back where we started. You must tax the market to pay for the capacity to universally allocate some of the resources.

You can't tax a machine, you can only tax people, because people operate machines, they can't generate fungible resources (money) themselves. There will always be a market between resources and individuals.
I think we need to offer the protesters an opportunity to evacuate from Hong Kong. We should give them green cards or citizenship in the US, Canada, or Japan.
This would be be awesome with a low latency e-ink display!
I didn't even know there were concentration camps in China. Thanks for sharing. If companies are going to shut out this sort of work in favor of free speech then we're headed for a dystopia.
Beijing will slaughter these protesters eventually either in public or secretly. We have an absolute moral imperative to give everyone in Hong Kong the option to evacuate to a free country.
I am not a lawyer, but I do know a famous example of how not including a © could result in the loss of protection in the past:

> The copyright on this image has been repeatedly violated, and it has been widely reproduced on T-shirts, posters, belt buckles, mudflaps, and other items. In the early 1970s, Crumb's lawyer started threatening lawsuits against anyone using the image without permission. Crumb and A.A. Sales, a producer of unlicensed Keep On Truckin' merchandise, reached a settlement of $750 for the past usage. But A.A. continued to sell unlicensed products after the settlement without paying additional license fees. In 1973, Crumb went to the U.S. Federal Court, and wound up in the courtroom of Judge Albert Charles Wollenberg, who had previously ruled against the Air Pirates. A.A. Sales claimed the work was in the public domain, because Crumb had not included the copyright symbol on the work, although he had in Zap #1 as a whole. The work was covered under the 1909 Copyright Act, and any omission of notice caused the work to be public domain. The drawing had appeared on the business card of Crumb's publisher without the copyright symbol. Based on that, Wollenberg granted A.A. Sales' request for summary judgment and Keep On Truckin' became public domain. In 1977, the Ninth Circuit Court reversed that decision, and it returned to copyrighted status.

Perhaps it is the similar for trademarks. Note that one no longer needs to include the copyright symbol to maintain your copyright: (in the US)

> In the United States, the Berne Convention Implementation Act of 1988, effective March 1, 1989, removed the requirement for the copyright symbol from U.S. copyright law, but its presence or absence is legally significant on works published prior to that date, and it continues to have effect on remedies available to a copyright holder whose work is infringed.

I'll also throw in the fact that even for some reason you wanted metal, we've also solved the 'make a metal building wherever you want it' fairly well too. It is designed for adding doors, windows, comes in a kit form, and also breathes and can be insulated to have pleasant thermal properties. Even just in $/sqft having rechecked on this idea the price was never so much better than other kinds of buildings that are more suited to be in livable spaces.

Really what I would have wanted to see is people handling disposal of containers and then using the broken down materials to build a structure and/or just being smarter about reclaiming the material, but I haven't seen that come up in passively looking into it.
This one goes into a bit more detail regarding how she managed to survive the fall:

https://allthatsinteresting.com/vesna-vulovic

"While many other passengers were sucked out of the plane after the explosion, Vulović became pinned by the cart. The small section she was in fell to the ground on a heavily wooded, snow-covered hillside.

Vulović’s doctors concurred with the air investigators and added their own conclusions. They claimed that the very thing that almost kept Vulović from being a flight attendant is what ultimately saved her life. Her physicians believe her low blood pressure kept her heart from bursting on impact with the mountainside. "

Reminds me of this project someone was working on: https://hackaday.io/project/164845-dlt-one-a-damn-linux-tabl...

They started off using the compute module, but ended up switching to the Nvidia Jetson Nano. Both of these projects make me wish for a world where a standard pin-out in this SODIMM format arises and we could see some inter-operable competition like we have with PC desktop parts.
Looks great but @ $499 in the US, the price is steep for experimentation. I'd love to rent one, see how it matches with me and then buy it in full. If this was under 200 I'd just risk buying and finding if I like it later.
Even though these are compile/build time requirements, their size ends up slowing down CI/CD process.

Our ondemand cloud build servers download the code, restore nuget packages and download node modules. Most of the build time is spent downloading. Compiling generally takes an order of magnitude less time compared to those 2 steps.

This especially effects scenarios where end-to-end testing can only be done in a staging environment due to complexity of the product.
I’m in the US and every time I’ve applied for a loan, credit card, or SIM in person I’ve had to provide a drivers license. When I applied online I do not have to give an ID but most of the time they ask for the ID number.

It isn't false that they're paid to tweet. One of the Amazon borg replies they tweet for two days (at $15/hour) then work in the warehouse for two days.
The media absolutely pushes an agenda, they are paid to do so. Not many would question that. The difference is, reporting on these things is their job and Amazon is treating their employees like trash. You have to be purposefully ignorant to miss this stuff. It's everywhere!

I thought interest rates were more driven by inflation. Mortgages are insured, for instance, removing much of the risk, but you pay for that insurance much of the time (THAT'S driven by risk), but $500,000 is worth more now than it will be in 30 years, so you're gonna have to pay to get it fronted to you.

And finally, if it were just about control, why wouldn't Google have set up a system for direct integration like Apple and FB instead of defining a publishing format that all link aggregators, including current and future competitors, could use and then make a steering committee for the format with only minority representation?
It moves a little too fast for me to read the message (bottom of my screen) and then flick my eyes back up to the code and internalize what it's doing. I'd prefer speed controls at a minimum but really I just want to hit space/right-arrow to progress when I'm ready... Like a slideshow presentation.
Reminder that most tvs are smart, because their price is subsidized by selling your data. The extra cost for a 'dumb tv'/monitor is payin for your privacy.
The extra bounciness of the animation can be a bit distracting after a while too. Maybe have options for different animation styles (fade/none)? Also maybe positioning options for placing the text elsewhere (like top right middle).

According to the x264 developers (can't find the reference anymore, sorry), wavelet based lossy compression is good for optimizing for PSNR, not for perceptual image/audio quality, being prone to loss of detail.
x264 beats Dirac and modern image compression formats like HEIF (based on HEVC) easily beat JPEG2000.
Modern codecs usually use transforms derived from the classic DCT and DST.

Why do you need a signal? You don't care about the temperature until you open your fridge to either consume to toss food, do you? Buy a digital thermometer for ten bucks, one that keeps a record of max/min, toss it in there, look at the max reading when you return from out of town.

If your power goes out you'll need aux power for whatever is reading the signal, otherwise it also won't work. You are making a huge project with all kinds of failure modes when this problem has been solved for ages. Kind of like the house with no mechanical light switches that you are responding to!
