LSD is only 81 years old (first synthesized on November 16, 1938) and was first consumed by a human on April 16, 1943. It's not 90 years old yet.
She is doing peer review. There is nothing new about this. The publish or perish culture is new and it's eating away the foundation that our civilization is built on.

If you can't trust science to be accurate you can't trust engineering to work. If you can't trust engineering to work planes fall out of the sky, ships sink and buildings collapse. After that you're back to the 17th century.

We should have a lot less science done better. The current number of people being graduated as scientists is completely unsustainable. The number should be cut down by 10 to 100 times for the current funding.
Can you identify a single company that's happened to?
Gab doesn't "embrace" bigots and extremists, they just embrace free speech.

You have to realize that most things can be viewed as bigotry and extremism. Look at how feminism and lgbt are viewed around the world - as extremism. Would you say twitter "embraces" bigotry and extremism because they allow feminism and lgbt on their platform?

It's a question about monopoly and fairness and the cultural values of america. Free speech is both a legal and a cultural concept.
then let's compare us to monkeys, if we can decide a past point in time, in this case whatever we do it's always good and everybody will be happy! (this could not work XD)
Air travel is the safest form of transport we have. Perfection is impossible, but air safety is pretty close. They didn't get there by getting outraged every time an aeronautical engineer made a mistake; they got there because every time there was a crash they gathered data, thought carefully and made changes.

There is no call to get riled up because Uber as a corporate entity let a mistake slip through. The justice system will come up with something that is fair enough and we will all be better off for the engineering learnings. This is young technology, which is different from aircraft.
Guests may be loud, lots of moving in and out, parking, late night arrivals, etc.
You couldn't pay me enough to have a boring 9-5 job where you clock in every day and do the same thing for 20 years that you're not really that great at. Some people have a built in character for taking these kinds of risks. I actively turn down investment money to fight my away from lifestyles that you have described. Everybody dies, even the guy safe in his treehouse, next to the water cooler from a heart attack built up of years of pointless stress worrying over someone else's dream.
Psychedelics have helped clear my mind, and many other people's minds.
Huh, I thought Autodesk only build software...this is cool! I'll certainly send a message.
Ask HN: Do we live in proto-singularity?
Perhaps you could imagine something like Carl Sagan's The Demon Haunted World where technology is everywhere but nobody knows how it works. We're surrounded by miracles that fewer and fewer of us understand. Technology has started to replace real life almost ubiquitously throughout the human experience. Yet, we are not to the point where computers can solve every problem we mere mortals can imagine.

What do you think? Would you classify the world we live in as being in the state of a proto-singularity?
And the top 1% earn 2x as much of the income as they did 50 years ago, but don't pay 2x more of the share of income tax.

Meaning that income tax is less progressive now.

Also the 38% number that right wing groups like to throw around is very carefully crafted to avoid FICA taxes, which account for a much larger percentage of the tax burden for lower income earners. And the social security component goes away after the first $130k in income.
Yes cities are designed for cars, as it should be, at least from my perspective.

It also the law for a pedestrian to not jaywalk, or walk on areas of a highway or road where pedestrian traffic is not permitted. And if its not the law then it should be the law.

Anyway, I acknowledge that not all people will agree and I expect both side to fight for their cause. I just hope they don't win.
Maybe it should be more like 50% because doesn't the 1% have 50% of all assets?
Yes, there's a whole subset of the industry dedicated to preventing such a thing, with players like IAS, DoubleVerify, MOAT, ...
This is nice but I would have expected “probability at an advanced level” to mean the measure theoretic foundations of probability.
I use Hartford still. There are others of course, Hartford just has always been reliable with fair pricing as well as a good rating.

And be glad they are demanding you have it. It’ll save your ass if something goes sideways.

Cost wise will depend on your limits but expect to spend $600-1200 on base E&O depending on your company risk profile. General liability is usually lower. And cyber can be cheap to crazy depending again on risk profile.

Price goes up as limits and risk increases of course (they should have told you what they expect). Generally always get quotes for multiple limit levels. I found out going from $1m to $2m annual was a small increase in premium so took the increase in limits.
That’s still no excuse. Maybe Bill has to access some customer data to troubleshoot. Fine, log it. Maybe Susan has to look at sensitive logs to fix a bug. Fine, log it. These aren’t new or unsolvable problems.
Even in the US, driving is more difficult than it is in Arizona suburbs. The fact that self-driving cars can’t even handle super easy mode makes me very pessimistic that they will ever be used in more than a tiny minority of places.
>Disney doesn’t tend to get enough credit as a tech company

I think more in the early days of film they were more highly regarded for this. Especially among animators. Disney pioneered a lot animation and filmmaking techniques. Though their acquiring and Hmmm 'lifting of source material and content' has always happened. Take a look at Disney's Aladdin vs the Popeye version, the story elements changed from the original story are eerily similar between the two.
Oh thanks will give it a try.
Learning is such an incredibly interesting topic for me. The concept behind something like machine learning is easy enough to understand- especially since you can implement everything by yourself and know exactly how it works. 'Human learning' is just so spectacularly abstracted from these models that it leaves me wondering how the heck we actually learn anything. Some examples like your piano playing and muscle memory are some of the more straightforward ones, where we figure something out like 'oh, this section is easier to play with this fingering'. But, like, you're not consciously drawing on all your previous conversations whenever you talk with someone and you don't think 'that conversation went well, time to add this to my corpus of conversations and retrain my "how to speak" module.'

I think it's beautiful that we'll never figure out exactly how learning works.
I don't think you should recommend that people just try amphetamine or cannabis, much less in tandem. There are serious side effects especially if you have an existing or latent mental illness. Cannabis can induce a psychotic episode in a nontrivial proportion of the population. Amphetamine can, among other things, induce mania in someone who has bipolar disorder. It's fine if you know the risks and want to do it anyways, but Jesus Christ, I don't think you should tell people to use speed because "it helps them concentrate".
It should be noted that this act doesn't define what a bedroom is, it only says that a room is available as sleeping accommodation if it's a type of room that's normally used as a bedroom or a living room. This would likely rule out larger kitchens with a bed in them but I'd be surprised if a living room/kitchen combo are ruled out given that studio flats with a combined bedroom/living room/kitchen are fine.
Afaik they only support specific phone models—understandable due to the fixed dimensions of the headset. Not so understandable is why I don't see apps that support any phone as long as I can build a headset for it.

>Surely "not slowing down" and "not dying" are not on the same scale of importance, don't you think?

Surely if the pedestrian does not walk at inappropriate place, less likely they would be dying.

Nah, If anything I would petition on making less sidewalks and more roads.

I don't have all the solutions for people who refuse/can't find a way to use vehicle. Thats for those people to figure out.

> I, shoeless but with ten loaves of bread, and you, hungry but with ten pairs of shoes

Even if I and you were equally skilled at making both bread and shoes, by economies of scale we can produce more bread and shoes if we specialize. Thereby, the use of trading makes us both better off.

The invention of trade, and inventions that facilitate trade (money, banking, stock markets, contracts, property rights), have greatly benefited humanity.
Do you have any citations to the contrary? That what he is describing is indeed not a risk at all?
The idea that you can simply find a new job is itself a privileged point of view.

Software engineers are special in the sense that they’re expensive to replace. It costs time and effort, both of which are much more scarce than money. Businesses are also usually expanding, so there’s no shortage of openings. This gives us more freedom by definition.

However, some sectors of software engineering are much more strict. You wouldn’t take a “Just do it” attitude in aviation, for example. It’s easy to say “move to some other sector,” but eventually most devs try to build a career in one area.
I don’t think the answer is constant.

Kind of shocking how broad that model really is. It learned multiple programming languages and tons of things of human interest...
You could argue Hololens is positioned to do well even though it hasn't delivered anything consumer ready yet but Android fully implements any iOS AR feature. I don't see how you can say they're ahead of Google or made a better play.
It still exists on the NY Times app. Tap the "Sections" tab, then scroll most of the way down and the content under "Immersive (AR/VR)." There's dozens of items in there.
I'd still prefer mfa for important stuff, because two factors are better then one. Since the one thing we know about security is that we don't know or understand it that well, and time works against security engineering.
Yes please.

I use a distributed testing tool to simulate any setup or edge cases we find, so we can fix it.

So this would be useful to replicate.

Also, a big fix was released early October.
Everytime I receive input from a human source I remove leading and trailing whitespace. (I have never had a situation where it was needed)

Far too many instances of copy/pastes including those bloody things.
Yes it does accidentally fuhrer my argument though. People have forgotten how to spell hail.
> Also, Uber's business plan is 100% to maintain share in the rideshare market until their cars drive themselves. That is the end game here. To shut down their self-driving research is to doom the company entirely.

Uber's business is clearly more important than lost human lives due to negligence of proper software safety measures. /s
Are you talking about in house spies, or spies placed in companies by governments?

If the latter, then the answer is all of them.

Haven't seen a person (on the Internet or otherwise) who doesn't act in a manner consistent with your description. So far the evidence is pretty strong.
Depends on when an impact happens. They only go in the planters at night, when an impact seems significantly less likely. Although they do stay in the bigger ones all winter.
Income inequality can also be a sign that an economy is functioning improperly.

North Korea, Soviet Union, Zimbabwe, Venezuela, etc all have income inequality. I don't think anyone would say their economies are/were functioning properly.

> Income inequality rewards the development of all of those qualities.

Not necessarily.

Your statement would be true if every generation started a 0, on equal footing and the system/environment was fair. Would you say that income inequality in Confederate South was a result of rewarding "talents, ambition, tolerance for risk, vision"?

Income inequality is a very complex subject. People who try to frame it in a simplistic black and white worldview really do it a disservice.
Isn't this exactly the case where you could have avoided this hassle entirely had you shelled out some cash for ECC memory?
Yup! Still nontrivial, but actively worked on[1].

New – Savings Plans for AWS Compute Services
I am not suggesting they are more or even nessisarily as accurate vs individual papers. Rather, they demonstrate the untrusted nature of individual papers.

Personally, I often find them a useful starting point on a topic. At best they capture the field at a moment in time, at worst their near useless. However, that’s just me not everyone in every field.
(Just as an FYI, the last time I checked that number was staggeringly skewed towards sales/marketing/evangelism teams rather than coders. Not that your point is diminished.)
My applications which are built using Laravel are deployed through Laravel Forge. There is definitely extra charge for it, but having Forge to simplify deployment really save my time especially in case of any issue.

Ask HN: How to Document Database Schema?
I'm using Flyway DB to create the initial database tables and apply updates. My API server source code has files like:
V1__Create_tables.sql
V2__Remove_users_table_logout_time_col.sql

I need to know how to maintain documentation of tables and columns. I can put comments in V1__Create_tables.sql but these quickly become out of date. And the subsequently added files contain only ALTER TABLE commands.

Is there a best-practice for database documentation that is compatible with the best-practices for database migrations?
There are also peer-reviewed “arXiv overlay journals” that are very cheap to run and consequently cheap for authors. For instance, Timothy Gowers (Fields medalist, prominent figure in the movement against big publishers like Elsevier) announced[1] another one of these last week:

> I am excited by the business model of the journal, which is that its very small running costs (like Discrete Analysis, it uses the Scholastica platform, which charges $10 per submission, as well as a fixed annual charge of $250, and there are a few other costs such as archiving articles with CLOCKSS and having DOIs)...

Mysterious hacker dumps database of infamous IronMarch neo-nazi forum
It's not like this at smaller companies. It's anything goes.

I worked at one place that had the development network permanently VPN'd into prod. One day, a developer accidentally configured his local environment to connect to a production queue and database. It was like this for over a week.

A previous company didn't bother with the VPN. They had an AWS environment that predated VPC, so SSH and many other service ports were open to the office IP addresses. And several people's homes, for remote work.
IIRC they didn't know about the tap on their international cable and the leaks caused them to prioritize the encryption of traffic on their internal network. Not sure about anything else though.
I think you are absolutely correct. and i'm disappointed again at the broader HN downvoters who lack any sense of perspective. It's like the hackers all turned into fuzzy-headed luddites here.
> Sure, we can point at the extremes and find differences, but I am not talking about that, I am focusing on what the vast majority of consumers look for or need in a car.
I'm running a campaign that spends about $10,000 a day for a brand on Facebook. In fact at that level they will run said brand lift study for you. So yes, despite this articles implication the data does exist and we do know the difference between advertising to an audience and not.

If this were true, it would mean that many, many bedrooms in New York City are legally not bedrooms.
I like the original premise of AirBnB, where homeowners could rent out a spare bed or their home when they were on vacation. But seems like these days, those homeowners are either all gone, or are being hugely outnumbered by scammers or AirBnB businesses.
We (a group of 5 friends) just finished a trip in Vietnam and we used AirBnB3 times. And all 3 times, the listings were not exactly truthful.
The worst was a listing in Hanoi that claimed to be able to fit 12 adults. When we arrived, we could only identify 4 queen beds (2 of which were jammed together in 1 room).
The other 2 listings we used were in the same complex in Saigon. We booked the listings based on our criteria of having a single home with at least 5 bedrooms. Both listings turned out to be 2 separate apartments.
Both are in a complex claimed to be among the first in Saigon to disallow AirBnB. Both times, we had to pretend to the receptionists that we were long term renters.
We wanted AirBnB so that we could chill together in a common space. These experiences make use want to book hotels next time...
A) It is objectively true that there is a cohort of poor people who produce nothing of economic value and who consume a disproportionate share of government services through vandalism, sanitation problems, assistance, and etc.

B) The inability to produce enough to sustain yourself is the basis for defining poverty.
I had a teacher who did pass-fail essays. His rubric only had one box "Did I feel anything while reading this essay?" I think the technology still needs to develop much more before it can fool Mr. Thayer's grading system.
That was interesting, but it is no Crashtest Dummies.

Prompt: Once there was this kid who got into an accident and couldn't come to school.

Essay:
The police told me they would call me if they found out if I would come. And I couldn't wait.

I knew how to talk to police because I had done that all of my life. But this guy was different. I talked to the cops and told them that I wasn't going to tell on him and they were cool with that. They let me off easy.

I wasn't going to come on to him, because I knew if he found out that I'd call him the next day I would probably be fired, so it was just a waste of time.

The next morning the police called me, and I had to sit there for five hours. I was really nervous and the whole time I was thinking about how I'd never really seen this kid in my life. And then after they told me that I was on the payroll I was really excited and I kept thinking that if he called me I would have to tell him that I'd never been fired before.

Then when I was going over the names in his file
A kitchen or living room with a bed in it is not a bedroom. This is about the usual understanding of what a bedroom is and whether a listing would be misleading, not about trying to be too clever to screw customers, which does not work in front of a court (in the UK and, I expect, throughout the EU).

Likewise, stating that the property has a stove implies that it is in working order.

Now, I have no doubt that AirBnb might try to fob people off if they complain but that does not mean that they would be correct or even honest in doing so.
Could someone who downvoted explain their disagreement? There seems a kernel of truth here that more than a few of us could agree on.

Stylometry is a hard task to be performed by humans and by computers... I've studied it for a while (master degree and PhD), and while we could have some success (>80% in verifying the authorship of a document against 100 authors), I think that it would be hard to make judgements solely based on a percentage below 99.9999%.

OTOH, perhaps I should begin to study this matter again :-)
If you assume state actors can compromise the supply chain with impunity your Yubikey is the least of your concerns I would think. Why wouldn’t they just place a hardware implant in your computer :).
I never claimed it's accurate, nor is it likely to be complete, but it's a bit misleading to imply this inaccuracy only applies to the non-terrorist incidents, particularly in the context that there isn't really that "one" definition for terrorism [0].
