Nikon P950 Review: Epic Zoom, Easy to Use
Well, humans aren’t entirely rational ;) I wouldn’t say the paper be automatically disqualified and the author exiled, but I would question the author’s judgement.
> He now does business under the same name, but in Utah. It is interesting to think of how much tax revenue the city actually lost by fining a small business out of existence, which was likely much greater than the total punitive fines levied against him.

I'm not so sure about that, due to the nature of his business (plumbing).

There will be two broad categories of taxes that will be lost when a business moves away from San Francisco.

1. Taxes that are paid by the business itself, and

2. Taxes paid by individual employees of that business, such as income taxes and sales taxes, if those employees move with the business.

I'm not too familiar with San Francisco business taxes, but a brief bit of searching suggests that the bulk of it is a gross receipts tax and business personal property tax.

A plumbing business leaving San Francisco doesn't change the amount of plumbing that needs to be done in San Francisco, so presumably money that would have went to his gross receipts had he stayed just ends up in the gross receipts of some other plumber. I don't know if the gross receipts tax is flat or progressive, but if it is then the city might actually collect more on gross receipts with him gone.

The city will lose out on business personal property tax because presumably much of that goes with the business when it moves to Utah. Whatever plumbers in San Francisco get the work that would have went to him might need to increase their business personal property some, but it probably won't be enough to offset what is lost. A smaller number of bigger plumbers are going to be more efficient in this regards than a larger number of smaller plumbers, so any consolidation should lower the total amount of business personal property.

For the individual taxes, there are two groups to consider. First, employees who leave rather than move with the business. These probably have little impact. They still pay sales and income taxes--they just get the money for that from their new employers.

Second, there are the employees who move with the business. Their income tax and sale tax is lost.

If the city was hitting them with $1k/month in fines, that's $12k/year. Googling tells me the city income tax is a flat 1.5%, and the sales tax is 0.25%.

Let's assume that these employees spend half their taxable income on things subject to sales tax. Then they need to be making about $740k aggregate taxable income for their income plus sale taxes to be more than the parking fines. By "taxable income" I mean whatever it is that San Francisco charges 1.5% on.
Historically they used to do this for slaves where they would fight each other for entertainment of the elites or upper class people. It seems perfectly in align with that.
Likewise. The one time I used them, I was sent some pretty generic stuff that had little to do with what I specified within my profile.

It's almost as if it didn't matter what I put in my requirements, I was going to be given the same stock pack du jour. I even got this heavy winter coat from them that maybe would have made sense in Minnesota, but had no place in the Bay Area. They were not geography-aware at the time, from what I could tell.

Never used them since, it's easier to go into the store myself.

> > Are you going to speak for the elderly woman who was beaten by a 2x4, or her husband who was beaten when he came to protect her? Are you going to speak for the independent owner of the vintage clothing store in LA who was preparing to re-open and had his windows smashed and his inventory stolen?

> Sure, I will

Easy for you to say. You are in the privileged position of only having lost some body work on your motorcycle. Do you really think they'd consent to your "speaking for them?"

it's a shame that the cops refused to follow the science on the subject and deescelate protests. Instead they chose to fire on peaceful protesters and kick off a riot.

The bad people here are the extremists who are egging on the violence, while creating the devious tactical position of making it very hard for the police to distinguish who is who.

So, to everyone that has been harmed by the police, directly (having their eyes shot out, being choked to death), or indirectly (property damage due to an avoidable riot), I think the police should be held responsible.

Yes. And how about someone speaks for you, as you say you would for others? You are going to pay for the inventory of the shop. You are going to pay for the medical bills of the shop owner and his wife, plus pain and suffering. How about that?
> from what I've seen the violence from police against protesters far outstrips that of protesters against random people or cops.

How? As far as I can tell no one was killed at the hands of the police (after protests started). Just in Chicago at least 17 people were killed during the protests.

> I was pretty convinced until now that the stylists were just algorithms but it looks like I was wrong

Katrina Lake talks a little about the way they've structured this during her How I Built This interview[1]. They seem to have a pretty large engineering / data science org, and it feels like the stylists are effectively human curators of algorithmic recommendations.

No. For two reasons:

1. Technology should not make mind-bogglingly stupid mistakes like this, regardless of how rare they are in the grand scheme of things.

2. Because these systems use neural nets, they're black boxes and it's impossible to conduct a proper engineering analysis on them to find out when they will fail. Fuzzing the system with live humans is not engineering; it's callous disregard for human life and anybody who practices it should lose the right to call themselves an engineer.
Time for some great ideas!

---------------

- Eliminate civil forfeiture, an archaic part of the policing process

- Remove the sentencing discrepancies between crack and powdered cocaine, which needlessly exacerbate the racial welfare gap (Biden erote this law btw)

- Ensure all cops wear bodycams at all time so that their integrity can never be called into question without evidence.

- Implement a UBI so that impoverished minorities can claw themselves out of a dead end system.

Things we did do!

It's the Occupy Wall Street idiocy all over again. If you're going to protest, you need to have S.M.A.R.T. goals in mind and make sure you don't lose public goodwill to fringe radical followers (looters).
I don't use Zettelkasten but I have over 1000 of my own frameworks in a homebrew organization and reference system. Up to about number 900, it had a "the more the better" vibe to it. It was fun to count the files.

Once I passed 900, I counted them up and then realized that the best frameworks are those that are actively maintained, and _those_ are more likely to cause churn throughout the system. Activities like reorganization and even condensation. This resulted in a reduction in the file count, but it was definitely for the better.

The most perverse incentive IMO is when your system of organization, structure, and own-ideas is so good that you become addicted to it. You forget to ask others what they think, or what they're doing, because you want to experience and learn it for yourself. Don't tell me--I want to puzzle it out.

But as with just about any perverse incentive, you probably learn about it as you go along, especially if the system is there to help you out in the first place. And then you fix the problem.
Now that you mention it, that's definitely where I first learned about it too. Great podcast. Thanks for the reminder.

> Criticising antifa does not imply support of fascism.

We're not talking about criticizing antifa, but calling it a 1.) terrorist 2.) organization.

> Many of those proclaiming to be antifa have committed acts of violence

And many people who criticize antifa are fascists, but neither of these facts are an argument for the above.

> You can be completely against fascism but disagree with the violent tendencies of many who associate themselves with the antifa label.

And how do you get from there to "declaring antifa a terrorist organization"? You have done nothing to explain that leap.
that is not an unreasonable fear. I'm reminded of something I read once.

I think the point they’re making is that if you’re filtering an entire group based on something that they cannot (and should not have to) change that’s kind of stupid.

Having a preference is not the same as would never date/bone this race, regardless of any other facts about them.

Think of it this way, now you’re open to a whole new world of rejection! :)
That is standard operating procedure when a part of a nation secedes. That is exactly what happened in 1861 when the Confederacy proclaimed independence from the Union. The result was a vicious Civil War which killed more Americans than any other war since then.

In the case of China, Taiwan and the Mainland are in a state of suspended Civil War anyway. With the Taiwan Straits between them, Mao's Red China was unable to take over Taiwan, and Chiang Kai Shek's Nationalist China was unable to take over the mainland.That was in 1949, and the basic situation hasn't changed much since.
Well shit it isn't, it results every year in people being murdered in cold blood, nobody being arrested for it despite the perpetrators being known

After the George Floyd incident, everyone was in agreement that this should stop. What's happening with the violence and the vandalism is just muddying the waters. It's almost as if the purpose isn't to make things better, but to foment a race war to destabilize the USA.

Why is this on HN?

Please keep the political activists out of HN.

Malcolm X (just like the late George Floyd) was a criminal who had no qualms about using physical violence but decried barbarity and racism when said physical force was applied to himself.
I studied Los Angeles history of city planning and urbanism in university, as a minor (not that makes me an expert by any means, of course, but I'm no stranger to LA, plus I've lived here for 6 years) – it's a special city, yes, but it's not fundamentally different from most other large cities in the US, including my hometown, Dallas, so much as just further along the same growth pattern (sprawl and then densification) as most sunbelt cities such as Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, Denver, San Diego, and Salt Lake City. (And as far as "stupid geographic boundaries", please see Houston or even San Diego). We could argue about this greater point all day, but nothing makes LA fundamentally special from a city-planning point of view, though it is in my heart :'-)

Regardless, as far as policing goes, NYC's 5 borough/county/city system is _much_ more complicated, which proponents might say justifies their (imo insane) $6 Billion(!) annual budget allocation, but if you compare that to NYC's $34 Billion [1] education budget, it looks a little more reasonable than LA's $3 Billion LAPD budget compared to LAUSD's $7 Billion [2] education budget.

I don't hate it because it's in src-dest order (though that does bother me). I hate it because it doesn't match the CPU. When you are actually programming something novel in assembly, you pretty much need to have the processor technical reference manual open, to be looking up those minute details that you can gloss over most of the time when reading disassembly, but which are so important to getting the most out of the processor when you're writing assembly. Or else you wouldn't be writing in assembly.

And it really, really bothers me when my tools do not match my documentation, for no good reason. (Just use the `-M intel` switch with x86 GNU tools, and then they will match. Or on ARM, do nothing, because by then they'd sensibly figured out not to bother with their "generic" syntax.)

I use a combo of Pinboard [1] to save URLs I think I'll want to refer to in future, plus NValt [2] stored on my Jottacloud [3] for recording snppets of info and more free-form notes and for making that info available from any of my devices.

Nine times out of ten [if not 99 out of 100] however, I'll just StartPage or DDG whatever info I'm looking for, since I always have a browser open anyway.

It's also quite common that, having thus found such a nugget of info, I go to add it to my Pinboard or NValt notes for future reference, only to find it was already stored there [often years ago], if only I'd thought to "shop locally" in the first place.

I thought that was mostly a navy thing these days. If you don't mind my asking, what kind of jobs does the Army have warrant officers do?
I wasn’t aware that the software had a history behind it, my bad.
Certainly a fad I think partly due to the book “How to Take Smart Notes”. Personally I think it’s a very well thought out argument about why this particular note taking system works and why it might work for you. But as the author says, it is meant for academics, particular those in the humanities although it doesn’t state that explicitly.

I believe this kind of work doesn’t share a lot of commonality with the research that readers of HN would do - although it is a very effective tool for some stuff we do.

I think if you’re gonna read it, don’t take it as “the one true way” to take notes. Take what you like and do what works for you.
I'm not excusing the criminal. He made a choice, but the power of video. Other cops should learn from it. Could that situation have ended safely with some other approach.

> It is citizens job to be compliant. It is the government's job to enforce compliance.

That sounds an awful lot like a dictatorship, not democracy. In a democracy, it's the citizens' job to keep their Government accountable - when the population says that the right to a presumption of innocence is paramount, they create a Government to ensure that right.

What you are suggesting is that the population does not believe that the right to a presumption of innocence is paramount - that it is ok to risk life, liberty and limb of innocent people to go after a criminal. That's maybe fine (although I'd argue ethically wrong), but stop teaching the opposite to your children. If you taught your children that the police and courts were out to kill them or lock them up indefinitely for nothing they have any control over, maybe they'd correctly be a little more terrified from an early age - and maybe they'd campaign to change that. Funnily enough, one demographic does get taught that, and others the opposite - because that's how it works out in practice.

The police have literally blinded people, including journalists, permanently, by the way. And potentially have killed people - "In Louisville, David McAtee, 53, the owner of a well-known barbecue business, was shot and killed early Monday. The authorities said that officers from the Louisville Metro Police Department and National Guard soldiers opened fire in response to a gunshot as they tried to disperse a large crowd after a curfew had gone into effect. It was not immediately clear if Mr. McAtee had been killed by the police or someone in the crowd, the authorities said." Of course, as always when the police kill people, body cameras were not on.

The Cambridge Analytica scandal comes to mind. It was reported in some places as a "hack" when they literally just used Facebook's APIs for their intended purposes.
You are right about the input requests being too complex. From this microservices presentation[0], they do use machine learning to generate recommendations which are then curated further by the stylists, specifically for this reason.

But I've always wondered about the grouping and parity between stylist and customer. IIRC, they say it in the presentation but they do not say how much bucketing happens. Is Person of archetype-A grouped with 100 other people and given to Stylist A? 1000 other people? Or do they only do additional curation if you reject so many items and write so many input request words?

Also, is there a good track record for such a request like "I need a pair gold earrings" working? and working specifically because of human curation and not pattern matching on color and item description?
