That story about the pizzas was crazy. Especially the end where you have the doordash driver in on it, just pretending to deliver the pizzas. At what point would Doordash notice? A thousand pizzas? A hundred thousand pizzas? A million pizzas?
"but it does a lot of the same things and often lies about it"

Can you provide evidence of this? Not that I don't believe you (nor do I have any financial interest in Apple), but I'm not a fan of seeing baseless accusations on HN.
Because their chart is determined by benchmark score / current sale price. The 1080 wasn't heavily discounted when the 2xxx series was launched, and high end GPUs are rarely value for money winners anyway as cost scales more than linearly with performance. Double the $ might get you 25% more frames.

For context, their page on the 1080 (https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu.php?gpu=GeForce+GTX+1...) gives it a score / $ ratio of 20, while the lowest item on that page has a score of 30.

You could argue they should have some minimum threshold for performance before including them on the chart, certainly no one should be considering a r7 260 or gtx 770 for their new system, however cheap they've gotten, but they don't.

Austin isn't dry...from wiki (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austin,_Texas#Climate):

> Austin is located within the middle of a unique, narrow transitional zone between the dry deserts of the American Southwest and the lush, green, more humid regions of the American Southeast. Its climate, topography, and vegetation share characteristics of both. Officially, Austin has a humid subtropical climate under the Köppen climate classification. This climate is typified by very long and hot summers; short, mild winters; and pleasantly warm spring and fall seasons in-between.

> An uncommon characteristic of Austin's climate is its highly variable humidity, which fluctuates frequently depending on the shifting patterns of air flow and wind direction. It is common for a lengthy series of warm, dry, low-humidity days to be occasionally interrupted by very warm and humid days, and vice versa. Humidity rises with winds from the east or southeast, when the air drifts inland from the Gulf of Mexico, but decreases significantly with winds from the west or southwest, bringing air flowing from Chihuahuan Desert areas of West Texas or northern Mexico.[76]

I never saw a cactus in Austin before...at least one that wasn't being cultivated in someone's yard. I do remember my time there for one hot and very humid summer...it made Mississippi feel nice in comparison, it definitely wasn't like Salt Lake City in climate.

On a different note. I am something of a Ubuntu fan and try to be more involved there. But then again the xBSDs where x = {Free, Open, Net, ...} are one of those things that always prods the back of your mind. It's a bit like topics in mathematics that always catch my attention, only to be forsaken for more mundane tasks. Then again, mathematics is a bit like the art of making everything mundane.
It's suprisingly hard to move there if you're from the USA. I looked into moving there after I got out of the military, and had no chance because I don't have a degree. The fact that I have over a decade of work experience in cybersecurity and have been through intense courses acredited at the graduate level doesn't factor in. Their immigration process reminds me of the shitty HR at big corporations that aren't willing to budge from their checklist of "requirements".
Fully Automated Luxury Traffic Jams
This is an SDK not a full client for Kinesis.

This is the only official implementation from AWS:
https://github.com/awslabs/amazon-kinesis-client

The client handles horizontal scalling, checkpoiting, shards split and shards merges. Using just the SDK, you have to build this yourself (unless you are using Kinesis for use cases that dont need it to be done correctly).

This is the doc for developing consumers using the SDK
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/streams/latest/dev/developing-co...

And in the second paragraph of this documentation:
"These examples discuss the Kinesis Data Streams API and use the AWS SDK for Java to get data from a stream. However, for most use cases, you should prefer using the Kinesis Client Library (KCL) . For more information, see Developing KCL 1.x Consumers."

What would an equivalent benefit be?

Do you feel slighted that your health insurance covers some for cancer treatment or broken legs without providing the others with some "equivalent benefit"?
We would decide to sell properties if there were no one who wanted to live in them. But generally we don't expect to sell properties - we expect them to provide value and cash flow over time. We expect the value of the network to grow as the amount of properties in it grows.

As you have bought in over decades the cash generated from properties you previously lived/invested in, return on investment of the portfolio will end up lowering your monthly costs similar to how paying off a house would.

In traditional real estate, you own your property equity after paying realtor fees, marketing costs for mortgage companies, bank executive salaries, payroll/wages for realtors, banks, property management or the equivalent cost of fixing your own home.

We can cut out a lot of the costs of agents, a lot of the time and costs related to mortgages and find a price point that sits between rent and mortgages without a down payment. We also have far less marketing costs in the long run as our tenants have a built in incentive to stay in our network / buy houses through us apartments won't have.

If we can beat renting and people can build investment in our system when they're in the rental phase of their life they'll have built up an un-vested equity portion worth a significant amount of money. Imagine living in this system for your college years and a few years after - 7-8 years - across a few different properties. You'd have probably over $10k equity built up - depending on a few factors.

If they leave our system or don't continue financing through us they'll lose that and have to choose between a large downpayment and high realtor costs OR renting without building equity.

There's a sweet spot there. Apartment complexes make lots of money, mortgage companies make lots of money, banks make lots of money, realtors make lots of money. A company that streamlines these will make enough money and provide a better, more flexible experience.

Their margin is our opportunity :)
And it even varies by culture. US media reporting on crimes in Germany tend to get confused (to the point that at least once they suspected some public cover up attempt) that they won't get the names of arrested suspects - that's part of our approach to privacy here, while apparently having the names out is considered a mechanism against misconduct by the police in the US (at least that's how it was explained to me when I asked why the names are always public).

I can follow both arguments but there's only room for implementing one in any given society. Societies overlapping like they do now (thanks to globalization and, to no small part, the internet) doesn't make that easier.
Probably not what you're looking for but I've been using a yoga ball for the past several months.

Main reason being that I didn't want to spend thousands on a proper chair AND a standing desk and I had started to develop sciatica from my previous chair + desk combo.

For what it's worth, it's definitely helped my sciatica issues, but I am still struggling to maintain a correct posture for my back and I have to take breaks from it.
I would say it's pretending because it's not 100% certain to be the solution. As mentioned, the situation is incredibly complex and can't be properly argued in a one-liner. There is no evidence that a complex solution exists, but I would say it's better if you know you don't have the solution to imply uncertainty.

Good actors are almost certainly more effective than bad actors. That's likely why the world hasn't devolved into chaos.
But societies DO devolve into chaos, such as revolutions and wars. These also obviously take place at times when society is most fearful / angry. But it's possible that many societal wars and revolutions would be unnecessary if good actors used rational discourse to reach solutions.

The discussion is about speech, and speech is not action. Harmful action is already a crime, and any crime can be upgraded to "hate crime" based on the motivation.

Group membership doesn't have anything to do with minorities though. You can define groups however you want, so a "minority" is entirely dependent on the context of the situation and just as subjective as the hate speech. So who are you considering minorities and what is this anecdotal data that claims they did not participate in forums? Must every forum be welcoming to everyone? Did no other forum exist? Could they not have created their own forum? If they talked to each other, does that mean a forum exists? And if so, doesn't that mean they are free to engage in their own discourse after all?

If you write software for your research then yes.

Just as I would expect you to have a solid basis in statistics, you need more than a 101-level competency in programming / software engineering if that's what you use to do your job. Same goes no matter what tools you're using, you need something beyond basic competence or advice from someone who does.

Nothing that I do day-to-day is remotely like surgery or in any way healthcare related, so that's a stupid straw man. Asking the same question of the academic _studying healthcare_ would be more apropos, but equally stupid and nonsensical.

I think about this a lot too because my family could live off of my income alone. We might move to this at some point, but for now my wife prefers to work. That said, I'm genuinely curious if "single income households" were ever a norm, or if it was only a norm for the upper class (or perhaps for the middle class for a very short time, such as for a few decades in the 20th century).

An interesting article about that:

I had to do something similar (not this library, but I wish I had known about it) just last week. I'm building out a product demo and I wanted to fill it with books. I didn't want to go searching for out of print books, so I created fake authors, book titles, descriptions, and reviews. The longer text was sometimes great, and sometimes had to be redone but overall it worked really well.
>Are we playing "what censorship is OK censorship" now?

Yes, obviously. Nobody is forced to have an absolutist position on censorship just like it's mostly silly to have an absolutist position on anything else.

>Who determines that "pretty clear difference?"

In this case Google, which is a private business. In other cases the government, or the courts. Depends on the issue at hand.

There's nothing contradictory about partial censorship in the same way there's nothing contradictory about having a speed limit.

Well... transportation hasn't disappeared. People still drive, cycle and take busses and trains, so clearly these means of transport are essential. However, it is true that air travel has collapsed and restaurants as well, both which seem to be non essential. People don't have to fly to other places (for the most part at least, air freight is still happening plentyfull) and people can cook at home or get delivery, so it seems that not all transportation is essential and that restaurants aren't either.

"I had to make this decision because our very future as an essential service for the cities of the world — our being there for millions of people and businesses who rely on us — demands it."

This is only one sentence in an otherwise fairly measured email, but it nevertheless annoyed me given the context. Uber is not an "essential service". They made this decision so that they can stay in business to make money for their shareholders. Portraying it as something noble is more than a little tone-deaf.

I feel for the people affected and I hope they find new roles soon.
You are entitled to your opinion. Be aware that it’s only an opinion, though. The only way to objectively talk about benefits of policies is by using research and studies, not relying on anecdotal incidences of “waste”.

Despite people “exploiting” the system as you say, over the entire population it provides more benefits to society than it costs.
One cluster of my friend base has entirely switched to Telegram.

I was against starting the long term lockdown. I would think they would have mobilized field hospitals care at a national scale as a long term solution, since they say most people will get it no matter what.

Absolute numbers are important,those are facts. This isn't a routine disease society has accepted,it can be contained and prevented,per capita does not help guage resource needs.

But if you do start a lockdown you can't half-ass it because that would literally be the worst option. The markets are ok because the shutdown is intentional. The markets would not be ok if spending and revenue loss was a result of people being fearful and panicky.the goal know should be a smooth and quick recovery at the right time, not a rough,rushed and messy one.

> I think it's likely that we could throw open the entire US and it wouldn't fundamentally change much, aside from an initial surge.

What makes you think that the initial surge will stop? The reason the initial surge in March stopped was because we closed everything down.

What mechanism is going to stop the surge from lifting lockdown? What has changed since March, and why is it enough to bring R to 1?

Why didn't South Korea think the same way that you did, and just decided to let infections surge, and see if they stop on their own?
> But why punish 100% of potential beneficiaries for what maybe 1-5% of them might do.

Because employers, at least in the USA, believe they have a right to nearly of their employees' time on or off the clock, and a right to exert some control over their employees' personal lives and even political choices. Enjoyment of this control is part of why people become employers or managers.
If a medically-informed response to a pandemic creates economic hardship so serious that the impacts are more deadly than the virus, then you change your economic system, not your response to disease.
Here's my take on what's probably going on:

YouTube is a platform designed around showing video ads to targeted audiences. In order to show those ads they need to allow people to upload user generated content. This content needs to be 'brand safe', i.e. it cannot be content that advertisers don't want to be associated with.

'Content' is more than just the video itself, comments are part of this.

If an Easily Offended Entity, in this instance 'China', sees an ad from AdvertiserX appearing on content they deem offensive they can kick up a stink about this, this is especially true in China where nationalism is extremely strong. Western brands have a long history of apologising to China over minor things, they really cannot risk fervent nationalism from damaging their balance sheet either through boycotts or having authorities turning a blind eye to counterfeiting.

So YouTube will remove this content, not because they're under the thumb of China, but because advertisers call the shots.

> "Good actors are almost certainly more effective than bad actors."

By your own exposition, this is the simple and effective solution that's inline with what I stated. Let freedom reign because the good already solves for the bad, and has done so for the entirety of civilization. Do we really need more?
I think the even bigger risk with getting a job at Uber will be that some of the future employers may not be willing to consider you due to sketchy reputation Uber has as a company.
I saw videos from China of trucks driving through cities with huge floggers, it was said they were spraying disinfectant. It reminded me of US mosquito foggers from decades ago.

This was the controls lab final project when I was back in college [0] (video is not mine). It was a super cool project.

Our task was to tune two PID controllers (one for each motor) to move the "head/pickup tip" to the color balls on the screen and then drive back to "drop" the ball in its respective "bucket". We were given the forward and inverse kinematic models, as well as a black box piece of code to actuate the motors, so we could focus on just tuning the PIDs. Lots of fun!

Just out of curiosity, would you have been willing to bet that something most people will agree on being AGI will not be developed before 2221 at the earliest?

Because given the history of science and technology since 1821, that seems like a statement that's just drawn out of thin air. "I don't know" would make sense. "Definitely not in the next 200 years" does not make much sense.
