Thank you a lot for posting this link.

I am majoring in CSE in India and I think you guys have it still better. India's engineering education (maybe except IITs) is completely screwed up by people who don't know what they are doing. The average student here doesn't come out of interest but for sake of getting some job. There are lot of people who don't understand difference between text editor and word processor till end of the 4 year program, but still get an 'S' grade (>90% score) because of rote learning system. Leave alone mastering the tools, they expect to open a PDF/docx in their phones and copy it to the computer. Having said that, the college I study is one of "top" colleges of the state.

They foolishly waste 1 year in our life by teaching "common" subjects like chemistry, physics, elements of {electronics,mechanical,civil} engineering etc.. I mean, they may be somewhat marginally useful, but they waste time and money for that while there's lot of stuff to learn in CS itself; just because some baldhead decided it would be good to teach all subjects to engineering students in first year.

I really wish I could study in US.

Hi, how are you getting the keystrokes you type in to overlay on the video? Is there a tool you're using for this? Would be very helpful if you could make it.
It also depends on the country. I had family hand me a 500 Euro note because they couldn't even get get it changed at banks in France.

I took it on my trip to Austria a week later and got it changed at the post office.
Wonder what would happen in a scenario where a driver picked up the virus from a previous fare (who is found to have had the virus), Uber takes no action and a new fare a few days later contracts it from the driver (whom Uber knew had the potential to become infected) do they become liable?

Would it be like a common cold where it’s so common it’d be impossible to point the finger at someone as the vector so it’d impossible to “sue someone for infecting them”.

Workplaces are becoming conscious and conscientious about this (cold) and actively ask people to stay home if they know they have a cold or influenza. We’ll see where this heads.

Any evidence of that? Enterprise GSuite is not supposedly used, but consumer Gmail not feeding into ads would be surprising to me. Android feeds location and contacts data.
Most drivers don’t live in Minnesota, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota, Colorado, Montana, Idaho, Wisconsin, etc. If you want to see how the average driver performs on icy roads, look at videos from Portland and Seattle. Both of those cities practically shut down when there is snow on the roads.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Texas

> In 2017, Texas grossed more than $264.5 billion a year in exports—more than the exports of California ($172 billion) and New York ($77.9 billion) combined.

> In 2002, the Port of Houston was 6th among the top sea ports in the world in terms of total cargo volume;[21] Air Cargo World rated Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport as "the best air cargo airport in the world".[22] The ship channel at the Port of Houston—the largest in the U.S. in international commerce and the sixth-largest port in the world.

> Texas has the most farms of all United States both in terms of number and acreage. Texas leads the nation in number of cattle, usually exceeding 16 million head.

Considering only trade revenue and export volume it would appear Texas is perhaps almost as wealthy as the rest of the country, comparatively speaking.

I haven't looked in ages - is AOLserver still the best Tcl web-app platform? Tcl is an amazingly direct programming language, which makes things easy to do, and with the significant advantage of crystal-clear readability, and less error-prone code. (A friend of mine maintains Tcl is really short for "try coding less"...)
In a Lagrange point it's actually quite trivial to create a man made magnetic field to protect the planet. Dr Jim Green, director of planetary science at NASA worked on it and fleshed out the details, it's viable and would actually restore a lot of the atmosphere stripped away constantly. As far as colonisation problems go the magnetic field is far down the list. There's a lot of work being done in this field.

When someone comes to me these days for knowledge about basic Unix/MacOS/Linux CLI tools, I direct them to the GNU core utilities documentation - it is very nicely organised according to task. I also demonstrate how CLI can do read-based operations as fast as SQL on medium size databases (just take an SQL dump and pipe) -

For various sorting and filtering followed by report generation in latex etc., a knowledge of awk also helps. I use the mawk interpreter since I have found it to be slightly faster with ASCII format files.

It's true they haven't had a lot of real world impact, but it seems to be widely recognized in self-driving spheres that Waymo is #1, and they're valued at $100B (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-09-27/waymo-val...) which seems like a pretty good return. I think it's fair for them to continue plowing money into Waymo when the money they've put in so far people think could have returns.
Sorry, I did a poor job explaining. The smoking gun is CPU usage not file system activity. Perhaps you know more about this and can explain it to me. If I copy files from one place on my system that is outside of my Dropbox folder to any other location that is also outside of my Dropbox folder, how is it even possible for the Dropbox client to consume CPU resources if it isn't monitoring files outside of the Dropbox folder?

Here is link showing more people reporting the same problem. Files being copied from one part of the file system to another and the Dropbox client consumes 60%-100% CPU. I cant even comprehend how that is possible.

That is the point I was refuting. In the current web, communication is still the overarching motivator. Content still matters, and the usability of your site is a factor in communicability. So, if someone's site is easier to navigate and more frequently updated due to the use of updated technology, that may be a factor when people decide where to spend their time.
Thanks for the additional information. Do you know what "readily achievable" means legally? I suspect it means "can not feasibly be accomplish on the property in question", such as if there's no way to widen a door given load bearing walls, or if a ramp of the appropriate specifications would go past the edge of the property. I imagine "it's too costly to do and keep this business functioning" is not a valid reason, given the examples we are seeing of businesses closing.

What I think it comes down to is whether a real person with disabilities thinks it's worth bringing and/or continuing the suit. Someone bringing a suit to make their life better (and the lives of people in similar circumstances as well), might take things into consideration like whether another business is likely to use that location any time soon if a large outlay is required to fix the problem, and whether removing a local business for everyone is a good solution. Someone bringing suit just for monetary gain (which can be done by someone with a real claim, I understand) may be less likely to do so, resulting in a net loss for the community.
Pretty sure I slept on a Nordli back in college. You would not find the two experiences all that different.

unless it's just a one-off purchase, I feel like a much better strategy would be to pay in $20's and have a fraction of them be fake. if someone paid me with a (hypothetical) $500 bill, I damn sure take at least a minute to hold it up to the light and look for security features. they paid me with 25 $20 notes, I would probably just count them and call it a day. if 10-20% of them were fake, I might not realize until I tried to deposit them.
Google's ad experience is night and day different than it was 15+ years ago, and IMO what they do now is much more 'evil' than what they did back then:

1. One big reason that Google became so popular is they clearly delineated ads in the top bar and siderail, but the vast majority of search results were 'natural' search. Google even touted it back in the day: https://www.google.com/about/honestresults/ . TBH I'm surprised that page is still up.

2. For many of my searches ads now take up the ENTIRE front page of content, especially on mobile. It's virtually impossible for any business to survive by SEO alone, because Google has ensured that virtually all "commercial terms" get a ton of ads first. Paying "the Google tax" means business need to buy ads on their own name lest another business bid more and rank higher.

3. In the early days, Google was much less reliant on their "surveillance capitalism" because they already had a great signal to show you ads: what you searched for. Of course, the way capitalism works is it demands they squeeze every additional dollar where possible, so keeping track of everything you do allows them to make more money.

4. One small example, enough has been said regarding AMP and its negative impact on the web and small publishers on HN many times over, so no need to add more here IMO.

> These “shakedown” lawsuits, added Morin, are often based on small, “technical violations” that can be easily fixed if a letter is sent to the business owner. But under California law, a disabled person cannot claim money if they send the business owner a letter with their complaint first.

It looks like if a claimant sends a letter they would not be able to sue for damages. That seems like it might really limit any perspective plaintiff's options.

> Have you ever been on the freeway during white-out conditions before the ploughs have gotten a chance to come by? People slow down, turn on their hazards if necessary, and if the road markings aren't visible, naturally form two lanes instead of three (straddling the lanes). In snowy climates, a simple snow squall is something to talk about, but not stop you.

I lived in snowy climates for a decade. Your summary completely disagrees with what I experienced. In whiteout conditions there were always cars that had gone off the road. Even after years of driving in the snow, people get into accidents far more often than in dry conditions.

And don’t forget: most of the US population has little to no experience driving in winter conditions. If the Bay Area got an inch of snow, there would be more collisions than a demolition derby.
there's so many ways to detect a hypervisor, particurarly so if you want your VM to be of sufficiently high performance to play competitively

and then there's the statistical methods (measuring anything that causes a VMEXIT is a good candidate)

modern OSes already support the IOMMU (macOS enables it on by default apparently), however outside of that hardware support is patchy at best

ultimately if they're trying to guard the top of the ladder (say the top 0.05%), they could demand you use a certain set of hardware, and the hardcore would put up with it
I worked for a hedge fund that fired the bottom 10% every year. I lasted 9 years and my first boss was fired after I was ready to quit 6 months in (figured iwas about 2 weeks away from quitting). Not all firms that employ such tactics are terrible. Sometimes, you need to get rid of the people that just arent cutting their weight. 10% isnt a hard rule, just a guideline.
It may have been a fiasco for the local governments bidding on it.

Generally, I wouldn't. People may want to deplatform other individuals for a variety of reasons.

A common one is to impede the spread of ideas that they consider dangerous, because they believe that these ideas will cause human suffering down the line. Whether these ideas truly are dangerous, whether their obstruction is effective, or whether it may backfire, that's another debate. The point is that they genuinely believe these ideas to be mind-viruses of sorts, and they genuinely believe that deplatforming is an effective way to impede them. If they are correct on these counts, then their actions are justified.

There are other possible rationales. One would be concern about bandwidth: platforms have limited bandwidth and can only spread a limited number of ideas, and people also have limited bandwidth and can only be aware of a limited number of ideas. The spread of bad ideas may therefore harm us by "clogging" the system (the resurgence of flat Earthism may be the most egregious example of wasted bandwidth).

I don't mean to debate the merits of these reasons. I just mean to point out that the "deplatformers" do have well thought out rationales. And if they are wrong, which is certainly possible, they are not obviously wrong.

Time to document. We have an unwritten rule that you got to check the confluence page before asking someone in person. If the answer is there then you gotta get that person a beer or lunch pending on the issue.
There's smoothing, but maybe more importantly there is an expectation of continuity and a bias towards likely interpretations. The brain is trying to detect what it already thinks should be there, and not starting from scratch every millisecond. I'm not sure if anyone is doing that with neural nets, but I think we'll keep failing until we do that.
In general, I agree with you; I’m not suggesting that the whole degree be built around these tools, just that they should be taught, preferably early on, alongside the traditional intro to CS course.

But it’s not just about the tools, there are some seriously timeless concepts and skills under the surface: regexp, environment variables, users and user groups, documentation comprehension, piping, filesystems, streams, processes, to name a handful. These apply to any Operating System or programming environment, and give some concrete foundation to the theories you learn elsewhere.

Plus, some of these tools really do merit a “timeless” label at this point. VIM, git, bash (and bash-inspired shells), and most of GNU utilities have been around for a very long time and have not been conclusively supplanted by more powerful tools.
> The Onion, which created Click Hole, will remain a part of G/O Media.

It's a little strange. The Onion created Click Hole, but now click hole is safe but The Onion itself is still under G/O media. How did the employee split happen? Were they fully separate?
> Just because other search engines jump on the bandwagon of caching sites so they can track EVERYTHING a user does

Do you have the same complaint about RSS aggregators? About transit feeds? About microdata? About showing page summaries in search results? Why not? All of these keep users on the search engine just like AMP, but they give a better experience to the user. If one search engine didn't prerender AMP, it would lose users to the other search engines that do.

> Centralizing the way everyone browses the web is how censorship happens.

I can see how this applies to Apple News, which requires direct integration with Apple, but anybody can ingest AMP and the other formats I listed above, and many companies do.

> It's also convenient Google is trying to delete the url bar and take away the only means for other sites to become a destination on mobile.

This is separate from AMP, but if a user doesn't like it or anything else a particular browser does, they can easily switch to another one (as long as they're not on iOS).

Ah yes. A kernel-level security feature provided by a software company wholly-owned by a Chinese conglomerate.

I do not think I will continue running their software on my machines.

Also, many other posters here have commented that kernel-level mitigations are futile in the face of hypervisor or hardware attacks. What's to stop me from altering system memory arbitrarily using a PCIe device I control externally? How would you even detect this from the perspective of the OS kernel? What if I compromise the private key in the game's network "security" layer and start reading & altering packets? Unless you 100% control the hardware (including mouse, keyboard and monitor, network, internet backbone, etc), you will always have this problem. The only way to have a cheat-proof gaming experience is to set up a LAN tournament and have all hardware provided to players (and even then, you should pour epoxy into the USB ports).

At some point you are going to have to start looking in other directions for solutions to this problem. I believe other games have started using statistical and machine learning systems to detect cheaters rather than trying to match arbitrary binary hashes on my machine (which is what I presume Riot is going to do here). I feel statistical soft-ban systems are a much more reasonable way to handle this problem than the 100% confirmed binary signature permaban systems that seem an obsessive fantasy for some in the industry. Statistical methods directly deal with the impact of the problem whereas perfect match only gets at one of an infinite number of possible causes.
Sure, as long as you don't mind us raising the tax rates to get the extra money needed to support your proposal.

> Until you can meet my use case, a common one for an Uber driver, self driving cars are empty hype.

For you. The semi-autonomy we have now- not "this vehicle will get me from point A to point B without need for intervention- but "this vehicle can take out some amount of the area between points A and B" is incredibly useful. I don't know how hard it is for you to keep going straight while fumbling about with a hamburger- I'm not that great at it- but if I can get a bot to help me steer in a relatively straight path and keep me in my lane while I take my jacket off because I'm beginning to sweat, send a message or place a call (having something make that easier is also useful), fire at an armed robber, or let me give more attention to a child who needs it, I will be safer.

Like the ADA or not, this sentence is not true

> People get upset over this kind of cases but not being able to access a business is as discriminatory as the business shutting the door to someone because there's something the business does not like about that person.

There is a huge difference, morally and legally, between

- Not spending $$$ on accommodating people.

- Not going out of your way to accommodate people.

- Closing your door in the face of potential business because you don't like people.

It so happens that the ADA prohibits all of them (Edit: Language quoted below makes me unsure about whether or not it actually fully prohibits the first), many other anti-discrimination laws do not, and certainly I do not view someone who does the first the same as someone who does the third.
The Path to Peer-to-Peer Matrix
The camera is bird's eye on the google presentation.
And it is a recording.

So jitter/flicker can be cleaned up/smoothed out and the data can be massaged in ways that a real time system may not be able to do.

This is a presentation. I'd be /very/ surprised if this animation was from RAW data as-is.

Also there seems to be Lidar data (point clouds) which Tesla doesn't have.

So while this means bounding boxes may have less detail in Tesla's system this is not an issue as long as they are not smaller than the physical object.

Having worked in the automotive space in the last five years and seen lots of those I'd not say one is less impressive than the other.
