Well that applies to the right as well, doesn’t it? I’ve heard of school districts reducing science education and talk of arming teachers.
Interesting phrasing, as indies aren't getting onto the storefront at all without accepting timed exclusivity. It's not an option that can be taken, it is mandatory to be on the storefront unless you have enough clout to tell Epic to shove it (CDProjekt Red).

That's assuming of course that Epic chooses to accept your game in the first place. My major issue with discussions regarding the EGS is that everyone discussing it talks as if every developer has access to what it's offering, which is not the case even in the slightest.

Even for California that seems a bit … steep (pun intended).

Sure, there’s a relatively high minimum wage. And maybe one has to get planning approval. And maybe an engineer’s sign-off. And possibly get some sort of union labour force to install it. And maybe an environmental impact study? Still doesn’t make sense that a wheelchair ramp would incur three times the U.S. median income.

Or maybe it does, and that explains why it’s so difficult to get anything done.
The accounting is tied to the Federal Reserve by mere bookkeeping for the bulk of it. If the banks are short on cash, they have the fed just print it for them.
Headline is misleading due to last paragraph:

“While the 950 Alameda location permanently closed Friday, coffee aficionados can visit the other Cafe Crema location at 1202 Alameda. ”

One has to wonder whether this was anticipated given the new location is 2 blocks away.
There’re also SIV constructions if you’re the more cautious type, which isn’t a bad type to be in cryptography.
I don't see anything predatory there? 1,400 businesses were potentially breaking the law and denying access to people with disabilities, shouldn't they be the subject of suits?
I wish there was a reader mode only browser. You would need to somehow extract navigational links though.
From the pictures in the article, it looks like there are at least two flights of stairs involved, and the one near the door is too narrow to add a ramp that a wheelchair can climb. (Simply putting a ramp over the stairs wouldn't cut it; it'd be too steep to roll up.) I can certainly imagine how adding ramps to this building approach could require some major restructuring.
It's certainly not an easy bootstrap problem (by way of a mexican standoff). It's possible many of those projects individually are just waiting for the first to take the first risk and move forward so the rest can just claim to be following someone else's lead. To badly mix metaphors: a rising tide floats all boats, it's just sometimes you have to be the first to remove your finger from the dyke to raise the tide.

Like I said, it's always going to be a calculated risk, and I mentioned that losing customers is certainly a risk involved. Sometimes a small loss of customers is an acceptable risk.

There are mitigations for such risks such as making sure that "fewer features" alternative is your own (at the right maintenance costs), but also including taking things to standards/regulatory boards. Using out-of-date software is a HIPAA risk and an ethics risk. There are ways to convince HIPAA enforcement auditors and/or groups like the AMA that it is too much of a risk, or too unethical a risk and that some sort of upgrade horizon should be spread across the industry. That's not easy either, but it's not impossible, and it's probably a good idea in general in the long run (the regularity with which Day-0 vulnerabilities are disclosed would give a lot of weight to the risks of falling behind on software upgrades, for instance).
There is speculation going around the "big rewrite" Elon mentioned last week is actually porting the code to run natively on the new hardware. Speculation says it's just been running in an emulation layer, but now they're about to unleash the full potential of the hardware.

If true, it makes sense the video would also have been captured using this emulation layer, explaining why it's not latest-and-greatest-fast.
Ask HN: Why isn't Discord marketing to companies?
It seems the whole "for gamers" thing is a missed opportunity considering how much marketshare Slack has. Their app is consistently recommended on HN as replacement too. Are they better off as a "gamer" chat/voice app?
Another such bug (though probably from a different FPS) is rocket jumps - which made it into a live-action TV show, The Librarians: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_wvUP6R20A
> It's astonishing how many developers rely on logging/print statements for debugging.

One reason is that you don't switch contexts if you insert a print statement in your code. I personally find that to be the least distracting way to debug.
On a similar note, shearing sheds tend to also be incredibly flammable. The oily lanolin from the sheep's wool gets embedded into the timber, basically making the building a big greasy tinderbox.
Not an expert, but $100K claimed by the owner seems rather much. A third party assessment would be good to procure. Given the touted popularity, cost would be amortized, too. Maybe the owner derived what they had hoped out of the business.
It costs $100,000 to build a ramp? That sounds insane (or an outright lie - unless I'm just that out-of-touch with construction costs?).
Even motorized weatherproofed wheelchair lifts cost an order of magnitude less than that.
I wonder if we'll have a future where it's relatively easy to setup a camera to record your screen in another computer and a little custom mouse/keyboard pair to do actions based on the camera input.
Clearly the ADA lawsuits are weaponized by people looking for quick paydays via settlements, but on the other hand, this building is clearly not accessible, and it isn't just a "small, “technical violation” that can be easily fixed if a letter is sent to the business owner".

I think the real question is - why do purchasers not fold ADA costs into their asking price for old buildings? This building has not been ADA compliant since before the current owner bought it. She(or her agent) should have been aware that they should actually be getting a $100k discount on the building if she needs to install ramps there to make it legal to run a business.
Most core Windows APIs are C APIs, the only stuff that requires C++ AFAIK are things like ATL and MFC which are just (very thick) wrappers..
What is being labeled as predatory was the scheme being led that had the lawyers husband fake a disability in order to launch these lawsuits (200 in one year, over 2000 total). And that it was specifically targeted at small businesses of a size/condition that they would really be susceptible to the lawsuits.

There was also some light witness tampering and evidence destruction as a part of the RICO case against this attorney, so yeah, I think in this one case, there really was some wild stuff going on.
I'm sceptical. Do you have examples?

Take the middle name example: "What was U.S President Theodore Roosevelt’s middle name?" when you know he didn't have a middle name.

Are you suggesting that a blank is the correct choice here?

I don't think it's accurate to say they have a blank middle name. I think it's better to say they don't have a middle name.
The buffer size handling of stream is is handling in nodejs using a mechanism called backpressuring.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backpressure_routing

And nodejs's site even has a article for it.

https://nodejs.org/es/docs/guides/backpressuring-in-streams/

However, even the nodejs runtime itself already provide mechanism to let you handle backpressuring easily. Most people still don't do and make their program crash when streaming target is stuck for whatever reason.
I haven't used that aspect of the Dictionary API at all in the 9 years programming C#, it is just too unwieldy to have to define a separate local variable to hold the result of the get. It also doesn't scope the out assignment (if the get fails, you can still read the out variable bound). I'm rarely in the case where I don't expect something to be in a map anyways, and when I do, I have an extension method with a default value returned if the key doesn't exist (or in some cases populate). Keeping expressions clean is important.
I don't think there's anything wrong with customers demanding ADA compliance. But the accusation here is that the lawyer involved is creating rafts of complaints, possibly false ones, to extract settlement cash. That would indeed be predatory.

I think the ADA on the whole is good, but the burden can fall disproportionately on small businesses. An awful lot of people's favorite neighborhood businesses are more or less break even; as here, a sudden, large expense can be fatal. I'd prefer it if there were programs to help existing small businesses convert. Making society available to everybody is everybody's business.

> When one person associated with the attorney is a plaintiff in 200 lawsuits, it does start to seem opportunistic.

Wait, why? Certainly one would expect that a lawyer might have a specialization, say, ADA compliance. And you'd equally expect that a person in a wheelchair who is more likely to notice/care about ADA compliance.

It doesn't strike me as that odd, it just seems like, "Hey, why is the city I live in so busted for me? I thought there was a law that was supposed to give me access? Why is no one paying attention to that law?"
Even further, appearently some people use hardware cards that use DMA to cheat. Which just seems incredible to me ( https://community.osr.com/discussion/291402/detecting-pcie-d... was the only reference i could find googling)
Pretty decent. I enable for one of 10 i'd say, and leave a whole lot more sites that require it needlessly without shedding any tears.
As someone who's built "production" software on top of IBM's "private blockchain" tech... it isn't quite pointless, but it's not far off; though that was a few years ago at this point lol
Karma is a meaningless number.

I've had zero extra karma from a well-written and thought-out post, and I've had tens of extra karma points from what I considered a 'throw-away line'.

And what do I get from all that karma? Zero, zilch, nada, nuttin'.

Don't waste your time chasing it. Or if you do, don't complain about it.
You mean just basic bounding boxes around an object?
Yes, it sounds like in this case there is systematic targeting of certain sized businesses in order to extract the maximum amount of cash. Big companies can afford compliance and lawyers. The little companies may not be able to.
In California 4-way stops are often never marked "4-way" like in some other places. Whenever you come to a stop sign you have to inspect the crossing road to see whether or not it also has a stop sign. Often you stop and wait several seconds for a crossing car, only to realize that they also have a stop sign.
How is this predatory? The law has been on the books for some time. This subthread seems to be taking issue with this lawyer's specialty - helping disabled folks get access where they are denied it unjustly. The real anger should be toward folks who don't want to follow the law. It is useful to have an expert on your team to get justice. If you are going to sue for ADA violations, would you rather have a corporate finance expert or an ADA compliance expert?

I drove across the US 5 times in the summer of 2019, almost excursively on interstates (the 40, 70, 80 end to end).

I can assure you, there are hundreds of times that "strange" things happened to the road. Odd or incorrect lane markings, no lane markings, lanes beginning from the right and left, lanes ending suddenly on the right and the left, lanes marked as merge that were not, lanes not marked as merge that were, etc. etc. etc.

Every time I thought I could just stay in my lane with cruise set I found I was severely mistaken.
They seem to be points related to those shown as white road outline on right bottom quarter, also when a car drives across view at 0:24 it is marked by blue dots too, so it must be radar data for road boundaries and physical obstacles (like building wall at 0:15).
She mentioned the building is old. Maybe there are other structural issues that would be brought up if a ramp was installed that would have to be delt with. I don't know though, it's just a guess.

The message seems to be: this is a nice thing, I can't readily access it, so nobody should have it. Like the kid taking his ball away after losing at soccer. Except this is someone else's ball?

Oh for sure - it's weird to be judging based on most misdemeanors. I was commenting on how it's done by those who do it.
I'm curious, what are they doing different now from then? Back then they had an ad business, and now they have an ad business. Back then they created useful services like Maps, Translate or Gmail, now they provide useful services like Photos, Docs and Drive.

What are they doing now that is "joining the evil" which they weren't doing before? Is your point about the fact that people's perception has changed? People these days just take free online services for granted and no longer want to put up with ads, but if it were all to go away, the majority of people would see it as a strict negative.
You literally just did the thing that justifies the ads. You now have internalized an actual bed model and also spread the word that it exists as an IKEA model so the subconscious link is there, and to top it off you mentioned it on a forum, so thats free publicity

Whatever Ikea is spending on ads is apparently doing their jobs
Karpathy (their Head of AI) showed how they are able to generate a 3D depth map of an environment given 2 forward-facing stereo cameras, it's possible that's what the car is attempting to do here since it recognizes that part of its vision will be blocked once it stops moving. Or it's trying to avoid the puddle lol.
If you don't see the problem, that's intentional.

How many ADA complainants end up facing federal racketeering charges?
The theory of the ADA is that rather than just enforce everything via bureaucracy, we'd give individuals the right of private action to push for the accommodations they need. Then we get a hopefully-good level of accommodation without a lot of the kind of waste that goes with central planning.

But if somebody is going to use the legal system to make a lot of money by generating spurious complaints for every business in an area, then that's not the right mechanism. If every business should be immediately compliant, we should just make it part of the building code and/or part of the business licensing process.
Approximately no one, except anyone who commits code at the F100 company I work for, several other F100s I know people at, Debian, Ubuntu, and a number of other infra projects.

I'm willing to believe nobody in your corner of the world does. That's not the only corner of the world.
another example would be cars: price of cars remains consistent across locales and software as well. with software even more funny, since the main cost of the software is due to software engineers.
It's not "faster" if I have to wait for the AMP site to load, then figure out where to tap in Google's UI to get the page I actually wanted to go to, then wait for it to load. Especially the case if I want to share the url (the real one, not the AMP one).

I don't need an intermediary popup page between me and the destination I seek.
You also need to redo things like the bathrooms.
As someone with a relative who is handicapped I have little sympathy for businesses that aren’t ADA compliant.
Unfortunately $100K is not that much in the Bay Area. I had to spend $50K total 10 years ago to make my side walk ADA compliant (as it is front of a bus stop) when I bought my place in SF. They would not issue any further building permits otherwise. And that was a fairly simple job without any stairs.
Yes and no. Businesses that aren't ADA-compliant are violating the law. But the motives of many of those filing are also suspect. From the article:

"The disabled man’s attorney, Tanya E. Moore, for years has been the subject of much scrutiny for suing thousands of small businesses across the South Bay, filing more than 1,400 ADA cases in recent years...The attorney who filed the lawsuit, Moji Saniefar, claims Moore’s ex-husband Ronald, who is a plaintiff in more than 200 filed cases, faked a disability in order “to collect quick settlements."

So in this case, the filing attorney is being sued for fraud? (I'm not a lawyer). Not a good look. But going on..

"...in California unscrupulous lawyers bypass the law’s good intentions by taking advantage of the state’s generous payouts to disabled individuals who sue, often targeting hundreds of small businesses at once, according to Sacramento-based small business defense attorney Rick Morin. For many ADA cases, the minimum in statutory damages starts at $4,000."

Sounds like patent troll tactics. Damages large enough to add up to serious money at scale, but small enough that they aren't worth fighting for the defendant.

"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."

Which means the money is more important than fixing anything. A business that couldn't afford to become ADA-compliant can definitely not afford to fix it after paying a settlement. And it's very well possible that money that could have gone into fixing the problem for all future disabled customers (surely the actual point of the law) is instead going to attorneys and plaintiffs.

Bottomline: no one comes out looking good in this particular case. If this cafe's ADA retrofit is going to cost $100k then it wasn't an easy fix and the business owner should have done better research into the law before renting/buying that location.

But there also seems to be a non-zero number of BS lawsuits incentivized by the way the law is right now.
Just because other search engines jump on the bandwagon of caching sites so they can track EVERYTHING a user does (oh yeah it's speedy too) doesn't mean it doesn't break the open web. Centralizing the way everyone browses the web is how censorship happens. Now governments just have to put pressure on the 1 or 2 dominant players on mobile search and then no one will ever be able to access unapproved information ever again.

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. Controlling all the apps and getting their 30% cut wasn't enough, they have to make it so you have no idea where you are anymore on the web so you forever stay in Google's walled garden.
20% YoY is still a massive growth, just because Wall Street always expects 24% or more doesn't make it any less impressive.
It removes the video for a period of time thus losing money.
Raising the block size creates numerous issues, especially for nodes running on consumer systems with limited storage (which is most), and the network starts to become more centralized. We don't want the majority of nodes becoming SPV clients/pruned nodes, due to full blockchain storage costs.
In this case the specific lawsuit against this coffeeshop was labeled predatory which was filed by "a disabled San Jose man", which seems to be someone other than the attorney's ex husband Ronald.
So I guess ,,OR column IS NULL'' would have been the correct answer?
Even if you had been earning your current salary since the day Jesus was born, you still wouldn't have today even a quarter of a billion dollars. That's the outrageous part. That kind of wealth should not be attainable for any single person. If the company is doing that well, the wealth should go to everyone who's part of it. After all, without them no actual work would be done.
Sure, but 25 years ago that'd still be placing a bet that those tools would be relevant today. That was my point.
The video seems quite good, there's some clipping at the start but I have no trouble understanding what he's saying. He does seem to have a bit of a lisp (or maybe it's the accent), but nothing that I would notice if it weren't pointed out here.

EDIT: Oh I just noticed your sibling comment, disregard.
In the "FSD Preview" update that came out around Christmas time, the car now shows a bunch of symbols on the road, and signs (aka stop signs) that it recognizes. They don't flicker at all, even while you're driving and a large truck obscures the car's vision of the sign / stoplight. So they likely have started to enable some form of temporal memory into the system so that it remembers what it has observed in the environment both frame-to-frame and overall.
Because the lawyer allegedly had her ex-husband pretend to be disabled in order to file the lawsuits.

Lawsuits require standing, which is defined as basically injury or adverse effect done to the suing party. Without that, you cannot sue(and expect to win).
