There's no reasonable expectation of privacy in public[0]. That's the law. In both the UK, US, and other countries. Otherwise normal tourist style photography would be unlawful. The face-blur thing is highly limited to using someone's likeness for commercial endorsements. A Tesla vehicle parked in public is therefore outside the scope of any privacy considerations because you have none on that context.

None of this is Tesla specific. Every photo or video recording taken in public has exactly the same liberties.

For those on iOS, I can thoroughly recommend the beorg app for using emacs org mode on the go. It integrates nicely into the OS, offering sync via iCloud Drive (Dropbox and others too, though I don’t use that) and showing notifications for deadlines or scheduled items.

It doesn’t treat org-drill items specially and shows notifications when review is due, which is a mixed bag but not too annoying for me yet.

My only minor gripe with beorg is that on save it loses blank lines between items, which I tend to add in desktop emacs for readability. I believe the author would have to rewrite the app with something like concrete or lossless syntax trees to avoid this.
> Can people actually do that?

We're doing it right now, the top level parent comment was dead before I made my first reply to you.

> Maybe the moderators could tell you why you can't vote if you emailed them?

HN could also have a feature that allows mods to communicate with users. I'm not going to use my main email anyway, and making a throwaway email for that is no more "community-like" -- it's just a hoop I don't see any reason for jumping through. Being transparent about moderating, and discussing such things in the open rather than behind closed doors, is a courtesy so basic for my sensibilities I won't beg for it from those who don't give it freely.

They did: Google Talk/gChat, Hangouts, Allo, Duo, Wave (I think it did messaging, I don't really know). There's probably more I forgot.

Google Talk notably supported tons of mobile platforms and was XMPP based and had federation, before they started down their path of reinventing messaging over and over.
The distance you cover with step b is about b/(log(10) 10^k). The exact distance is log10((10^k + b)/10^k). That's a funny way of saying fracPart(log10(10^k + b)).

The number of steps tells you how big the last step is.
There's studies that show uber increasing congestion. It makes sense when you think about it. Uber drivers are routinely on the road with no passengers. Either waiting or driving to or from picking up a passenger.

There is an entire school of research associated with asteroid capture-and-return versus mining-in-place. I don't think it's a settled area of research, probably because we really don't know how to do at what cost either alternative.
Why are they amazing? Japan has great public transportation and very dense cities. It's not as car-centric as the US but the taxi system still has similar problems.

No apps, need to communicate destination (possibly in a foreign language), primarily use cash, expensive, paper receipts, no real-time status/tracking, hard to get back lost items, etc. They might be cleaner and quieter but those are minor details.
It looks cool, but it is inappropriate because it wastes time since the transitions take time.

My semi-educated opinion: there will never, ever be cost-effective fusion power. The unsolvable problem is neutron embrittlement. There just is no reactor wall material that can last long enough to make fusion worth it.
No, sorry, I did read the article for my last comment, and you're squarely in the wrong.

It is conceivable that a pathogen could alter speech patterns, yes. My point was that if Cochran thinks all or most gay men have a distinctive lisp, then at least half his understanding of gay men is based on locker-room rumors and stereotypes. If he can't be bothered to educate himself on those basics, it calls his entire article into question.

If that were that were my only issue with Cochran's article, it would still just be a nitpick. But he gets everything wrong:

> among the Kalahari Bushmen, there doesn't seem to be any at all. Typically, hunter-gatherers have trouble believing that homosexuality actually exists.

There is native Bushman rock art explicitly depicting male homosexuality. See Boy-Wives and Female Husbands: Studies of African Homosexualities, published in 2000. Lots of extremely conservative/traditional cultures will tell you that none of them are queer, despite all evidence to the contrary.

> increased neuroticism and depression

Yes, gay men are prone to depression and emotional trauma. There's been quite a lot of research done on the causes. It mostly concludes that, surprise, they get depressed because they're discriminated against.

> the idea that male homosexuality is caused by a pathogen makes good evolutionary sense, unlike every other explanation ever proposed.

I'll just give you the link. Note the 2004 Italian study, particularly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biology_and_sexual_orientation...

> The only two species known to exhibit this behavior, at the-few-percent level, are men and sheep.

Despite your repeating this, it's still bullshit. There are plenty of species with homosexuality rates equal to or higher than humans: giraffes, lions, and elephants, just to name a few.

Any sources I haven't linked here can be easily googled in a few minutes. If you choose to believe that being gay is a disease, nothing I can say will change your mind. Just understand that this is something you believe because it "feels right", not because there's compelling evidence.
Note that the bikeshed t-shirts on cafepress apparently no longer exist. At least, they don’t come up anymore when you search for them.

That’s a shame, because I think I created the first bikeshed t-shirts on cafepress, and I wasn’t aware that my page had been taken down. I’ll have to see if I can re-create them. I might even be able to find the original hi-res graphic I created for the purpose.
Oh, I see what you mean. Then my answer (not facetious) would be "because that would suck". I don't want to be a micro-distributor, I don't know a lot of people outside of sale that would think that's awesome, and if there's anything MLM has proven is that buying exclusively from your friends/acquaintances/neighbors is a good way to ruin relationships.

Sure...there's a more equitable scheme to equalize distribution of wealth, but please don't let this be it.

Video games have the best loading screens at the moment, because people often don't realize they're there. They slow the user down in a way that doesn't feel like a wait.

Elevators are a common mechanic, but I appreciate more creative ones like making the user open a heavy door (God of War), or climb up an obstacle.
Those passengers would be in a car anyway. They don't stop going places. Like I said, ridesharing either reduces cars on the road or decreases the amount of parked cars for the same amount of people.

The biggest study was in SF and was inherently flawed by looking at traffic over years. It's obvious that an increasing population will generate more traffic, and Uber has allowed more people to travel than before. Serving more people isn't a bad thing, it's a natural situation that cities should plan for instead of being constantly surprised by.
Taxis have hacked meters forever, take longer routes, and 'forget to turn on the meter' or the 'meter is broken' even today. There's a reason taxis have a fixed fare to manhattan from the airport.
A lot of merchants ask for 3+ confirmations, and sometimes 1 confirmation can even take 20 minutes. Paypal and credit cards take seconds.

And $20 for a wire transfer pales in comparison to the fees people charge for converting bitcoin to cash https://localbitcoins.com/

Yes transferring large sums of money internationally is useful, but it is a niche, and bitcoin doesn't even do it that cheaply.
Not to be trite, but I doubt particularly many people have trouble with this. GCC 4.7 is a very long time to have gone without updates.

Note that GCC 5 switched from c99 by default to c11 by default. This isn't "just" a compiler flag, and it's not a GCC problem either, you'll have the same problem in clang or ICC. Try upgrading and compiling with -std=c99. (or -std=gnu99 if that's your thing) You might find that gcc-9 works if you feed it the right standard of C.

Compiler updates occasionally remove certain definitions from headers that aren't supposed to contain those definitions. For instance, lots of headers contain the definition for size_t, but only stddef.h is required to. Occasionally an update will hit that removes it from I dunno, rand.h or whatever. This is a good thing; headers shouldn't contain a bunch of extra crap in then. In those cases, it's because your code was always broken, not that the compiler upgrade broke it. Blaming the compiler in that case is like blaming QA. Which, to be fair, it was QA's fault.
To be fair, I started it.

There were also rumors of an acquisition at the same time, which were denied.
This is the normal outcome of more people going to more places. Ridesharing definitely increased the total amount of people taking cars that didn't before from a lack of options, but that's minor in terms of general population growth.

Traffic always increases over time, that's a natural thing that cities need to plan for. It's great motivation to build public transportation instead of complaining about Uber helping people get around.
Seven vices, sloth is one...citation needed for that?

Or that people think that playing video games is for the lazy?

Someone specifically asked what vice video games would be (esports actually). I said sloth (being lazy) is what some would accuse them of. There is nothing weasel about that unless you set the bar so high that everyone must agree that something is a vice, in which case virtually nothing is.

Which is it? Is sloth not a vice? Or is playing video games not considered being lazy by a significant number of people?

There have been countless stories about video games promoting obesity (sloth, gluttony) or violence (wrath) or objectification (lust). I'm sure greed, envy and pride could all make an appearance if we tried hard enough.

Citations needed...nope. Accusations of today's youth being lazy and playing video games are abundant enough that if you can't find them you've obviously been playing too many video games.

> I can't tell if you think what you're saying is correct (and you're wrong) or if you think what you're saying is wrong (and you're still wrong.)

That's just rude and didn't contribute anything. You haven't made any argument other than I'm wrong. Have a point. I'm not going to play the citations game. Put forth a counterargument that is coherent and contributes to the discussion or move along.
I think static documentation (your link) is a different use case than an interactive tutorial (not documentation). I didn't find the presentation horrible, but it's likely just looking nice and perfect on my computer hooked up to big monitors, and not on a phone or something....

No. That is false and disingenuous. They explicitly stated concern that homeless etc people would be able to "join the conversation." It's not an interpretation. It's what they actually stated clearly and explicitly, as a matter of fact on record. This is their exact quote about categories of contributors they had concern with:

The people who can and should complain if they feel misled about how their money was used are the people who donated the money. Have any of them complained? I say this with some seriousness.

NO WHERE that I can see did Reitz say he would hire NJS to do some work. Is Reitz even setup properly to report for taxes or withold taxes on amounts paid to NJS, check paperwork for work eligiblity etc? Would this even be allowable if requests is not a business, or would deductions be disallowed as non business (ie, a payment to NJS -> subject to tax to both Reitz and NJS potentially?).

If you as a donor want full charitable compliance using PSF you would ask to give through them - and perhaps more would have been given if PSF had been an option.

I don't even see NJS on the requests contributor list:

I don't think you're understanding the point I'm making. I agree, we should make our models that are as accurate as possible. But this view is not universal. There are some that point out that prioritizing accuracy may create disparities in the results of the model. A model that is meant to predict recidivism will flag African American more often than Whites and men more often than women because the former of these groups re-offend at higher than the latter.

Some see this fact as problematic, and advocate that we should deliberate bias the results in order to create a more equal outcome. And the arguments of whether or not we should bias our models are frequently political in nature. The complaints that AI is biased is frequently because it produces results that some people find are problematic, but the underlying pattern it's identifying is true. It's really that the AI matches patterns without our cultural sensitivities about what topics we're supposed to tiptoe around.

The concept is called resource curse and well understood - it lends itself well to corruption because the source of money doesn't depend upon well functioning infastructure, government, or the populace. Just bribe enough people to bully everyone else to retain power essentially - and they demand it.
The RAZR didn’t exist until 2004[0], which is mid-2000s to me, not early 2000s. Nokia very much owned the GSM market in the US from 1997-2003. The problem is they didn’t innovate and got left behind (personal opinion on that part, but I feel it’s a justified opinion). I personally stuck with Nokia because a “cool looking” phone was less important to me than having Symbian. Until the iPhone came out, Symbian was the best OS imho (but that isn’t saying much).

I think the issue sibling comment to yours was getting at but not directly saying, is that humans have a bad habit of not remembering exact time periods for non-important distant past things. It’s why I cross reference on Wikipedia or other sources before stating things matter of factly for anything I’m pretty sure about, but not positive on. Wish more folks did that!

[0] confirmed on Wikipedia, as I wasn’t positive.
Proper metrics should discount any employee-driven traffic - it's not usually real and it's sorta a hard thing to account for entirely.

We had a table of email addresses we would mark as employees and periodically refresh this manually against actual user traffic. Then this table would get joined to anything generating KPIs or real metrics so we could discount those events.

I'd point this out to the relevant teams dealing with data and KPIs - they shouldn't want to be counting this traffic, but if they insist, I'm not sure where you go from there.

As somebody who only occasionally uses Python, the fact that the default `python` binary on my system resolves to Python 2.x and I need to specify `python3` to invoke 3.x, means I am quite often mistakenly using Python 2 instead of 3.

As I understand it, this is less about subscription based sites and specifically about cam models on pornhub. While I agree that this extra step would be a barrier to a casual consumer, I agree with the parent that people who pay for porn will pay for specific porn. if a person is already paying a specific model (or models) on pornhub, they've found what they want and a fair amount will continue to pay for it even if it takes additional steps.
Best to confide in no one who could possibly leak your knowledge back to the company. Whatever you do, do not confront the perp with the evidence.

Related-party transactions are something investors would demand be disclosed. Read through any investment contract docs you have.

3. Wait and hope reality improves enough to obviate the fakery.
