People don't have eyes in the back of their heads. Self-driving cars don't get drunk or distracted by cell phones. Comparing humans with AVs is apples & oranges. The only meaningful comparison is in output metrics such as Accidents & Fatalities per mile driven. I'd be receptive to conditioning this metric on the weather... so long as the AV can detect adverse conditions and force a human to take control.

Hey Ammon, the idea is good, it's solid. Nothing bad there. I think everyone knows LinkedIn has it's issues. But like come on. Why make everyone's private job search public? by default no less!?

How can we trust triplebite with our career, finance information and personal information when you pull these kinds of moves. Make a good product. If it's actually good people will sign up.

But then you have put a limitation on use in production instead of sell? Commons Clause might be (too?) vague, but the concept is imho more fair to end users.

Still, I for one applaud you for this step. We need better non-OSS licenses and it's good to be having this discussion.
You sound like me.

While nobody makes actual physical typewritters anymore (to my knowledge), they can be had used for very little, so you could have the best of both worlds by writing your drafts on a typewritter.
I think you've vastly understating current hardware prices.

An 8 core 2nd generation Zen chip appears to retail for $290. The PS5 reportedly has a custom GPU design, but for comparison a Radeon 5000 series card with equivalent CU count (36) currently retails for $270 minimum. Also, that GPU only has 6GB GDDR6 (other variants have 8GB) but the PS5 is supposed to have 16GB. And we still haven't gotten to the SSD, PSU, or enclosure.

Of course it's not supposed to hit the market until the end of the year - perhaps prices will have fallen somewhat by then? (Also I don't expect Sony to be making any money off the hardware at those prices, so I agree that they're unlikely to sell them to anyone who won't buy games for them.)
>"In 2010, a lithium-ion battery pack with 1 kWh of capacity—enough to power an electric car for three or four miles—cost more than $1,000. By 2019, the figure had fallen to $156 [...]

Forecasters project the average cost of a kilowatt-hour of lithium-ion battery capacity to fall below $100 by the mid-2020s."
What happens if you block them, or your credit card, so they'll get no money?

Is there any risk they'd sue you? Or other auto renew services, what do you, or others, think — do they sometimes sue their customers whose credit card expired?

That sounds annoying b.t.w., having to call them etc.
Chimps have us beat when it comes to short-term visual memory (Humans can't even come close).

Mantis shrimp have us beat when it comes to quickly detecting colors since they have twelve photoreceptors vs. our three.

Insects have us beat when it comes to anything in the UV spectrum (we're completely blind to it). Many insects also cannot move their eyes but are still have to use vision for collision detection and navigation.

Birds have us beat when it comes to visual acuity. Most of them also do not move their eyeballs in spacial directions like we do but still have excellent visual navigation skills.

I’ve been lifting weights for 15 odd years, and while I agree with you, it’s not always a magic bullet.

After a period of excessive work (slumping in a chair for 18 hours a day), combined with a sports injury, I ended up with a very messed up posture. Lifting weights actually exacerbated the issue, rather than fixing it.
Probably also reducing chargebacks to get a lower fee from CC companies.
First you need a inspiratory muscle trainer device and nose clips/plugs. It's basically just a valve that can be tightened with a knob. You can get them on Amazon and whatnot.

The actual exercise just involves inhaling through the device, for a couple of minutes, and over the course of days/weeks/months working up to higher resistance levels. It's hard work, and it bugs me that it forces you to mouth-breathe, but it will strengthen the muscles.

The linked study does 30 inhalations per session.
But in the very rare case I want an SUV or a Cadillac sedan or something, the rate is bloody insane -- something like 4-5x the cost for a vehicle that costs less than double to purchase than a smaller car.

I guess maybe a Navigator depreciates more quickly than a Camry, and that's what you're paying for, given the rapid turnover of their fleets?

You'll need to define what you mean by poverty. Is someone poor that cannot feed and clothe themselves? Are they poor if they are not certain that they will be able to feed and clothe themselves for the foreseeable future? Are they poor if they have less than x% of the average personal wealth of those within some distance?

And I believe almost all people are better off than cavemen, not just more.

I have never, ever, had a good experience at a Hertz (or most of the other majors to begin with). The process of renting a car is one dark pattern after the other, from the website, to the real-life rental location, even the cars themselves. Every experience was at best frustrating, typically rage inducing. I won't miss them.
It sounds as if you are not worried that they would sue you?

What are the reasons you feel safe? (Then maybe I could try this me too)
US courts have ruled that company management have "wide latitude" in how they manage the company.

(The reason is that the courts don't want to get involved in the minutae of running private companies. They'd rather you just update your company bylaws.)

However, shareholders, or most famously private equity (PE) companies, may pressure mgmt. to adopt certain policies and goals, and use their voting shares to encourage or even enforce that.
I believe the concern here is that this is affecting not just macOS developers, but all developers who use macOS. That's an important distinction.

I'd say my project Super Graph it's a GraphQL to SQL compiler in GO. It saves developers thousands of man-hours and 10x their productivity. 80% of web backend coding is struggling with ORMs, SQL and writing APIs. Super Graph does away with all that. A simple GraphQL queries get you the data you need.

A feature I've long wanted to see in a photo management tool is ranking based on pairwise comparisons. Say you went on a trip and had 200 "keeper" photos, but that's still too many to publish in an online album, and many of them are near-duplicates anyway.

If the photo manager let you compare any set of photos two at a time, you could (with n-choose-2 keypresses) find something close to a total order of the set. Then you'd easily be able to choose the best photos of the whole set, as well as the best ones of each subject/set of duplicates. No machine learning would be required.

Has anyone encountered a tool like this?

Edit: You wouldn't get a stable total order because the pairwise comparisons might not hold transitively, but something like Elo ranking could work here.
"Open offices are, and have always been about, control. Not about productivity, but exclusively about control"

No, it was not about 'control' it was just about money.

Your comment is cynical enough that I think you might maybe have a problem.

Your Ops and Accounting people can present Plan A - open, and Plan B - cubicles ... Plan A is always cheaper and the benefits of Plan B are hard to justify.

Now 'others are doing it' ... so it's Plan A.

It's cost, it's that simple.

"Nobody feels that they work their best when someone is watching them."

This is usually not a problem - after 10 minutes, you're working, everyone else is and nobody cares.

"Everyone knows that part of working in an open office is figuring out how to create the illusion that you are working."

If you think this then maybe you're in real trouble!

Yes, it does suck that you 'can't check Facebook' as often, fine, but why would you need to 'create the illusion that you are working ... at work'?

If you need to 'create the illusion that you are working' literally when you are supposed to be working ... then ... this is not good!

"Please let's stop pretending that we don't all understand exactly what open offices are about."

You're mostly on your own here.

I much prefer offices and cubicles, it's much quieter, less distracting, and yes, I feel slightly more comfortable checking Facebook once in a blue moon but that's not really important.

Well, sorry that you feel this way. I don't agree right now (clearly). But I'll certainly take this seriously and think more about it/listen to feedback. We're talking about relatively basic profiles, to give us the canvas to launch public achievement badges (that we hope allow us to better help people who don't have traditional credentials). My view, building this, is that we're not displaying anything more private than hundreds of other companies. Stack Overflow has public profiles. Hacker Rank has public profile. AngelList has public profiles. Even HN has public profiles. We are launching public profiles for a product that has not had them in the past, and I get that that's a more sensitive thing to do. What we've focused on to keep that from harming anyone is what data we include in the profiles. I wish we'd include more details about that in the email.
They did, but they weighed this against launching with X thousand “active” profiles and decided it was worth the outrage. $GROWTH
I’m aware that the government’s own legal team cited against that move, so they sought external legal advice and pushed through. It’s all very strange, and I’m surprised the courts haven’t been involved yet.

It’s looking like a couple of rough months ahead, the new security law will take into effect, most likely the national anthem law will go through as well.

I took a quick look at Holochain and its got the regular set of better than bitcoin/ethereum claims that most alt coins say. Its saying its more efficient and safer to use than other blockchain languages. Now these are really big claims so let's see what its got!

Looking at https://holochain.org/ , most of my scam senses are not going off tooo much. Its got some weird testimonials and then a white paper! So far so good.

Ok, lets skip to the white paper. Now what I'm looking for here is mainly how do you verify computations are valid amidst BFT and sybil attacks.

So its got some stuff about how every message received can be verified by the receiver by using "validation rules". Okay... so we can use custom validation rules that each receiver can define and run themselves. Fine, one such rule could be Bitcoins proof of work.

So it can be as expensive as Bitcoin. Now of course there can be other rules that are less expensive of Bitcoin, but theres a big reason Bitcoin's PoW is so expensive... Its been battle tested and looked at by 1000s of people to verify that its correct and can resist just about anything up to a 51% bad node attack. Allowing any program to define its own set of validation rules in the hopes that they will be faster doesn't make things safer. It just makes it more likely for fails. This looks like the major contribution that Holochain is trying to make. Let everyone write their own proof of work functions that suits their needs and mess it up. The number of ethereum dapps that failed to write safe contract is proof enough that this will happen in an identical fashion.

Did I miss something? Maybe there really is something here thats new, but I'm not seeing it at first glance. Its doesn't look a scam though so its got that going for it
Because they write the software that runs on Apple's computers.
Don't think so. Geometry requires space, which has certain features which constrain its properties (sorry for a tautology). If you avoid such constraints, you can still have math, but it doesn't make sense to call it geometry.

Looks a bit surprising math definition include concept of space. Geometry looks underappreciated, yes, but to replace the whole math...
What’s very interesting is that in an era where we’ve all been shown exactly how many businesses could operate remotely, we also now have a situation where the value proposition of returning to the office is rapidly dropping at the exact same time. A lot of these more pandemic friendly offices appear to have the worst of both worlds; a total lack of privacy on top of extra restrictions on movement.

My company is setting up rules for how we’ll return to the office once the govt. says its okay, and it involves basically pretending that we’re working remotely from the office, plus the need to Lysol down conference rooms once you’re done with them. A few months ago I’d be happy to return to the office, but now I’m genuinely wondering why we should bother.
I cancelled my Netflix account after almost never watching it and now they keep sending me emails to reactivate my subscription for the low low price of 7.99 euro a month. For some reason they think that I want to come back to Netflix to watch shows at standard definition since for 7.99 you can't even get 720p, even though when I was subscribed, I had the 4K plan.
I have less than 20 environments to configure and it is already extremely messy in gitlab CI.

So messy that at the moment it is just a little toy and it will never actually work in production.

With 90? No there is no way you can create a reliable gitlab CI with so many environments.

Beside there are several bugs in gitlab CI and support is basically useless even for an organisation like ours where I believe we are one of their largest costumers. Our tickets (or at least the one I create) are simply ignored.

And 16,000 page views without unique content and links might happen, but most likely not within a year or five.

If you're lucky, you trigger something in Google's black box and they rank your site better than others at the same level, but you'll still only do long tail, and even on long tail, you'll compete with the original source of the article, which has a billion links pointing to its domain. Since you'll also need to go for quantity, you'll have a giant amount of pages as well, which will not help you even with niche rankings.

I doubt that the site would pull in 10 actual, human visitors per day on average with just scraped content.

This kind of stuff should be illegal. In GDPR, they put a clause that rescinding consent must be as easy as granting it, precisely because of that.

(Not that I've ever seen a site on which there was an obvious way to bring the consent popup back up after it was closed, but hopefully one day data protection authorities will unclog their pipes and the fines will start flying.)

I've seen a bunch of these arguments recently, and they seem pretty baffling to me. It's not "rigging", it's supply and demand, nothing more. As an employee competing against other potential employers, you're going to demand a rate of pay that you think is "worth it" to you. The issue is, many people would be willing to work for less if they could stretch those dollars further in a lower cost locale.

I've generally been a fan of Greenspun's blog, but this conclusion seems nonsensical to me.
I don't think it's attacks we need to worry about (there's even an XKCD about dropping rocks off of overpasses). The issue is that without good depth and velocity data (so probably LiDAR) there are lots of fairly common situations that an ML algorithm is likely to have trouble making sense of.

Snowden disclosed programs that were unsavoury to some. But that doesn’t mean they’re illegal (even if only by reason of black letter law technicality). That’s not to mention all the other unrelated classified information. It’s not surprising that he has zero defence under whistleblower laws.

To take advantage of whistleblower laws (or at least, gain public sympathy as one), the criminality you’re uncovering would need to be far, far worse.
I expected Triplebyte to help me find a job. This is what they said they would do—the only thing they said they would do—and they did so admirably. Then some eight months later they dropped a bombshell.

I’m not even sure what your argument is here; are you saying that because “an entire generation across age ranges” (whatever that means) collectively did... something... now companies can indiscriminately trample on everyone’s privacy forevermore, and nobody’s allowed to try to reverse the situation?

Your Triplebyte profile will NOT contain any data/details about you or your job search that will undermine you at your current employer.

A cancelled credit card does not mean bills are automatically void or the recurring subscription cancelled, but it's a scale whether it's worth it for the company to try to collect or not.

If your rent autobill fails, I think everyone realizes it doesn't mean you don't have to pay. If the credit card for your gym membership expires, I think most people would likewise fear (and has been known to happen) that your bill would eventually be sent to collections. A $5/mo subscription? Not worth the time of the company to try to collect. A Salesforce or Adobe subscription on a card? I certainly wouldn't gamble on that, and would try to properly cancel the subscription.
