Executing a safe lane change requires doing a shoulder check, matching speed with another lane, etc— the reason it's prohibited in and near intersections is because those are exactly where you need to be paying the most attention to crosswalks, opposing traffic, conflict points, etc.

It may well be that it's fine if you're very, very confident there "are no other vehicles or pedestrians" nearby. But what is that literally every driver says who strikes a person walking? That they "came out of nowhere". It turns out enough drivers are bad at judging these things that it makes sense to just blanket ban them.
> The thing I hate the most is random websites forcing you to use a password with "at least 8 characters, capital letters, numbers, .."

I had to catch an AM flight in Austin. Used SuperShuttle to book my trip to the airport. I literally was the first person he picked up. We drove for like an hour all over Austin picking up a couple more people. It was night out still so I had no idea where we were because I was tired. Anyway, Finally got to the airport. After that no more SuperShuttle. This was ten years ago and I’m glad things have changed.
Stack Overflow is currently engaged in the same kind of transformation. It's sad to see these giants of user participation turning away from what (I believe) made them so wonderful, and towards raw-numbers-growth at all cost. I suppose the folks with the money will be happy, but it diminishes our culture. The pursuit of quality content certainly supports sustainable growth, but it seems that it's just not big and fast enough [to pay the VC piper][0].

> Who really wants to live in a world where it’s so much easier and effective to lie than to tell the truth?

I don't think anyone wants that, but this has been the case since the invention of the printing press and probably longer. It also gets really tricky when what is a lie vs. what is truth is not obvious.
Gab, per their claims anyway, use US law as their guideline (plus banning porn). I know they've removed at least a couple people who cross a certain line when it came to directly advocating violence.
It happens that Windows is better. It has much better kernel support for async IO.
That can be done between federated EPIC EHR systems using their API endpoints without exposing those endpoints to the public internet (either over VPN or dedicated lines). With that said, the API endpoints are exposed for rebranded EPIC mobile apps to interface with the EHR systems operated by health systems (for consumer access), as well as Apple Health (which can OAuth to EPIC).

I don't know how Apple Health is pulling data in from the VA health system [1] (one would assume an API of some sort), but I plan on exploring it soon.

I'm talking about actual unmetered where you pay for a dedicated amount of bandwidth, e.g. 1 Gbps / 10 Gbps / 20 Gbps. 10 Gbps usually goes for about $1k-$2k/mo in the US. This is how colo facilities have operated for decades.

10 Gbps fully saturated delivers about 3300TB for that $1-2k/mo, versus the $22k/mo you'd pay AWS for the same.

I'm absolutely not talking about the "unlimited bandwdith" bullshit that discount hosts offer.
That's a great interview question (especially if you're not so much into hiring :))

Another one is: what happens when a node process completed execution?

// node ex.js
function foo() { // something async here }
foo()
console.log('bye...')

This is a fun question to discuss (I think some consider this a bug in node).
It is also worth pointing out that your dictionary definition of 'surveil' discounts entirely the watching of law-abiding political dissidents. As we have seen, such software is used to monitor human rights workers and NGOs. Finessing a repressive government's characterization of such persons as spies or criminals is exactly the same justification used by the purveyors of the software itself - "it is not to be used for unlawful purposes".

Johann Hari has written extensively on the subject in his book Connections. I am a little nervous to link to joe rogan here but fuck it, here's a good interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDpjvFn4wgM

I do not 100% agree with Hari, who focuses almost exclusively on environmental factors. They are important but not the complete picture, IMO - there are physiological components too; alcohol dependency to me appears to be a clear-cut malfunctioning of the brain's reinforcement-based learning system. Environment exacerbates this, yes, but is perhaps not the root cause, or at least is not the sole actor in what is a pretty complicated drama.

> if you have enough RAM

That's the key difference here, combined with the observation that for user-facing web applications, a decent portion of direct DB connections (i.e. without a multiplexing proxy or conn pool) tend to be idle at any given time.

Assuming good configuration of session-level buffer sizes, MySQL can happily have several thousand idle connections at any given time, with no detrimental performance penalty and without requiring a massive amount of RAM. It's been a while since I've examined Postgres under similar conditions, but previously this certainly was not the case there.
This is so interesting, I had no idea there are still such big VB6 projects out there. Is this related to a particular industry?

It's an organic difference of perspective, which is why (you're quite right [that]) reasonable people can disagree.

You might want to look at the concept of transcription, particularly germane to music.

A transcription can be a creative work, so it can be protected by copyright. A transcription is copying and transforming an original work in a particular (symbolic). The original work that the transcription is based on is also protected by copyright, so to make the copy that embodies the transcription, you need permission from the original rights holder. Splicing the transcription onto an illegal copy of an original performance is also copyright infringement, but resynthesis based on the transcription is not. A transcription also might not be entitled to copyright protection, if it is the product of a computer program, since feeding a sound file into a program is not a creative activity. (The program that generated the transcription is, of course, protected by copyright).

Ergo, there absolutely can be claims that you need to license my content, consisting of original synthesized copyrighted lyrics.

I highly doubt Google or LyricsFind's contracts with the Artists or Labels says "We won't give you the lyrics, but if you find someone else has put them down on 'paper', go ahead and just slurp that up, regardless of their efforts, and make some money off of that for yourself, sucks to be them".
This is so amazing. I love south park, thanks for sharing ;)

Productivity growth gets the most discussion:

> But the most important piece of data against Yang’s thesis is slow productivity growth. If companies are adding robots, AI algorithms or other automation to their production processes, it should show up as accelerating productivity. But labor productivity growth has slowed to a crawl since 2010...

The article presents a graph going back to 1980 in which productivity spikes as high as 4% but hasn't broken that level since 2010.

Two points:

1. Productivity, as measured by the government, could be a lagging indicator, as Yang notes and the article doesn't address.

2. Productivity growth (as seen in the chart) spikes after recessions. This could be because underperformers get fired during recessions. There hasn't been a recession since 2009. No recession means no pressure to cull the workforce.

Are there any forward-looking measurements of productivity?
Parrotting Hari I see. I like him, but it's more complicated than his series of picture-perfect anecdotes and name-dropped professors in every country he could persuade his publisher to send him to.

Naltrexone has substantially resolved hundreds of thousands of alcohol addiction presentations worldwide. Pharmacological remedies do exist. Connection is important, yes, but it is far from the whole picture. I do like Hari, like I said, but I feel like he is interested in selling himself and his story more than any particular desire to actually help.
Taking your hyperbole at face value for a moment, at least whoever put the true item in there will be allowed to do so, instead of needing approval.

If you change the multiplier from 3 to 5 or 7, then you get sequences which diverge to infinity, whereas your argument would apply equally well, suggesting that the intuition you're leveraging is wrong.

A better intuition that usually comes up is to turn the problem into steps of (kn + 1)/2^a, and ask is the next number larger or smaller. For k = 3, the resulting map is usually smaller, but for k > 5, it is usually larger, so rather than orbiting, numbers are more likely to spiral off to infinity.

> I think they should go with fingerprints.

Fingerprints are probably the least secure method of authentication possible. Picking up your fingerprint off of something you touched and fooling a fingerprint reader is pretty trivial. And worst, it's not something you can change, so once your fingerprint is copied, it's compromised permanently.

Fingerprints should never be considered a security feature. At most they're a convenience feature.

I'm not a lawyer, but I don't see how Genius has any chance if winning this lawsuit.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is this:

1) Genius does not hold a copyright on any of these lyrics

2) Genius licenses these lyrics, and that license is not an exclusive one.

3) Google does not hold a copyright on these lyrics

4) Google licenses these lyrics, and that license is not an exclusive one.

5) "Watermarking" lyrics is not enough to get a derivative work copyright

As both parties have non-exclusive licenses and neither own the copyright, I really don't see how Genius has any chance of winning this case. As best as I can tell, it would be perfectly legal for Google to purposefully and specifically copy the lyrics from Genius.

Edit: Reading through the filing, they seem to basically be suing them for violating their website's TOS and some 'unfair practices' laws local to California and New York. I am unsure of how legally binding TOS are for websites in general, and whether or not being able to view lyrics without ever viewing the TOS effects things, etc.
Same. I'm currently on the 15th permutation of the same password. But we implemented 2Fa this year so now I still have to change my password regularly, and pull a code from my phone that's generated on demand (as opposed to temporal rollover) so it needs to be connected, AND I have to enter in my password about 75 times a day because it goes part and parcel with the 2Fa prompts.

You're handily skipping over 15 years of improvement and iteration between the last and second-last points there.
For banking... accurate, simple, safe, reliable are more important than performance/throughput. IMHO optimizing the above and for developer efficiency should be the first priority and for scale or max throughput later.

The simplest solution is to scale to one worker per node initially if you're doing anything compute intensive... once you've done that, and/or you need better performance for any number of reasons including cost, then you can do more. Now, I'm not sure I would have gotten to 4k nodes before I started to re-evaluate parallelism or better scaling options, but the initial implementation is absolutely fine.
That's why you should donate to low-overhead charities like GiveDirectly.
I have a stupid question. If binary representations of numbers in the hailstone sequence for Collatz conjecture can be written as a 2-tag system (a → bc, b → a, c → aaa), and m-tag systems are Turing complete for m>1, and Collatz conjecture is a sort of halting problem in this framework (there is a halting criteria), and "deciding whether a particular algorithm for Turing machine will/won't halt on every input" is a totality problem, which is also undecidable — can a proof of undecidability of Collatz conjecture be approached this way? What is the major problem with this line of thought?
That's one position, but there are three problems with it:

1. You have to solve the interaction problem (how does the mind interact with the physical world?)

2. You need to explain why the world is not physically closed without blatantly violating physical theory / natural laws.

3. From the fact that the mind is nonphysical, it does not follow that computationalism is false. On the contrary, I'd say that computationalism is still the best explanation of how human thinking works even for a dualist. (All the alternatives are quite mystical, except maybe for hypercomputationalism.)
"Feist Publications, Inc., v. Rural Telephone Service Co., 499 U.S. 340 (1991), was a decision by the Supreme Court of the United States establishing that information alone without a minimum of original creativity cannot be protected by copyright"

Given that the lyrics aren't owned by Genius, and that Google has a license to them, there's no reasonable claim of copyright violation.

There have been several cases lately that seem to suggest there's no problem with using public data either.

If you don't like it, don't make the data public. Require a login, and then you might have a case.
To add at least some substance, a big one is how you go about buying extreme luxury goods.

It's not a showroom affair where you just walk in and buy something.
Is there a site which finds the whitewashing articles and collects them?

I used to work the conflict of interest noticeboard on Wikipedia. There are at least four rich ex-convicts with paid staff trying to whitewash their articles on Wikipedia.
People tend to focus on what has been left out, but think about what they actually did learn about:

Drafting from that pool, item and skill builds, last-hitting, creep aggro, laning in general, jungling, item and spell usage, ganking, team-fight positioning, pushing objectives, warding, map control, farm priority, when to retreat vs engage. All of these require an understanding of micro vs macro goals and how they relate.

Surely this qualifies as "a difficult task."
Sort of. The Windows side has direct access to the hard drive, AFAIK.
> "None of the stories have any quotations in, none of them have any analysis of what happened or what the significance is. It is purely a written version of what has happened based on the data. So that's quite a big downside in terms of quality of journalism."

I understand that, and plenty times myself I've "done the simplest" thing - sometimes you need to ship an MVP, fast.

The difference here is that what they did wasn't even the simplest thing - it was a crazy, insanely wasteful thing that just happened to work for a while. Being honest, for me, it's an indefensible approach.

> Why should they worry about $100k or whatever when they're funded for > $350M? Their bottleneck is engineer hours, not dollars

Arg, but this rubs me up the wrong way! Any half-way competent engineer could have built something simpler and much more performant, and likely in many less hours too. Sometimes stopping, thinking and discussing for a few minutes or hours will save numerous hours. I mean, how many hours did they spend on this "diagnosis" alone?

Yeah it’s called “getting old” and one of the beauties of it is not caring for what others think about you or needing that acceptance feeling.
Also important to remember that "hijacking public services for their own benefit" is hardly an abstract charge. There has been many examples of public goods being transformed into private goods for huge benefits to a select few. This is basically the history of Russia in the 90s.

It happened in Canada as well, privatization of public monopoly corporations did not return fair gains, and instead increased costs. Ditto in the US in various places, for example look at private prison with guaranteed profit-performance clauses (originally secured under the seemingly 'reasonable' concept that private companies wouldnt take a risk if there was no backstop/floor to financial performance).

All of these extremely shady transactions are seemingly greased by a whole army of well paid business consultants. At a certain level, if you aren't skeptical of their history, isn't you who are being naive?
That's a people problem, not a physical records problems. If they wanted to, they could put your records in an envelope and send it anywhere in a day.
What they talk about are issues that blocked them from parallelism per node and how they resolved the issues. I'm not sure what additional information you're expecting?

Though I'm somewhat surprised they didn't use Worker patterns per node with self monitoring for health above and beyond what they already did.
