Let's hope that if these were mistakes, that the former employees affected can receive at least an apology and explanation, and perhaps offers to restore their position (it sounds like one of them has a tentative return offer).

If accidental, and assuming a continuous-improvement policy within the company, it could also be an opportunity to understand how the wrongful terminations took place.
I'm genuinely, in a completely non-judgmental way, interested to understand what systemic forces lead to such a staggeringly high percentage of this brand of fraud.
Can someone explain why this is being heavily downvoted? Was something they said false?
As an ignorant non-lawyer, it seems to me that the "illegal search" argument won't hold up. Laypeople see encryption as a lock on a safe that the govt should be able to compel you to open.

Why not use a 1st Amendment approach? Doesn't my freedom to speak also cover the "language" (i.e. encrypted bits) I'm using?

I'm trying to answer the question "Is this retribution?" Which has legal consequences.
Yeah, but which one of those rugged devices that has five years of support? The page doesn't provide that information, and if we use the "android enterprise recommended" filter, it listed pixel phones that obviously don't have 5 years of support. Or are all those devices marked as "rugged" actually got 5 years of support? I tried going to some of the listed rugged device manufacturers website and they don't seem to indicate how long they'll going to support their device (unless the information is hidden somewhere).
Until we get encryption as a constitutional amendment we can probably expect to fight these types of laws perennially.

No, he indicates his familiarity with that specific story (unless the author was writing two stories on the same community within weeks of each other) and not just the author. He was interview for that story and judged it likely to be positive. Therefore we have two people's opinion of the story, that both have partial information is irrelevant.
Literally, if every single person starting today, wears a mask when they are within 15 feet of another person, and all the time indoors, this virus would be gone from the entire United States in 2 months. No additional shutdown needed.
None of your cited examples are "secure," they're the very definition of "security by obscurity," which is to say insecure.

Its really hard for me to define when we're over-complicating the premise that made Archive.org flourish, but I would love to distribute the data to alleviate the dangers of centralization in general.

I believe something like ipfs, a strong search engine, coupled with the activism that brought traffic to archive.org initially would be wonderful:

This gets frequently abused in the US. Some of the abuse seems trivial on the surface - for example a friend can't legally pay you to fly him to a meeting far enough away to make driving undesirable on a clear pleasant day, even though you both frequently fly together personally on the weekends. However, there's no legal surprises on the FAA regulations and no excuse that a pilot can make that it seemed ok, as the regulations are quite clear that any compensation of any kind is illegal without holding a commercial certificate.
Elon is nearly criminally bad at risk management, then. He claimed that based on 'current trends' (in March?), the US would have close to 0 new virus cases per day by the end of April. I have no idea what trends he was looking at, because there was no public evidence of a declining US case count at the time he was referencing. I don't think the US ever got much below 20,000 new cases per day, at any point since we rose to those levels in the first place.

> That's a lot different than saying there is no threat.

He has downplayed the threat so significantly and in such frequent error - proved as error as time passes and his virus predictions do not come to pass - that he is effectively suggesting that indeed, "there is no threat" even if he does not use those direct words.
This will make sense for some people, but not for others. Some (most?) people like to be in communities and have the benefits density offers -- walkable nightlife and entertainment.

I appreciate the tutor-like approach to asking questions in the text, but I really need the answers as well. I had to look them up, and I only ran across the book from John Weatherwax. I don't feel inclined to purchase a $20 book of solutions when I'm using the original text via open-access. I guess I'll just have to order the physical copy of both books to keep my conscience clear.

I'm certainly not a lawyer, just a software engineer trying to understand the world a little better. That said, does the NLRA actually protect against this? Reading about it talks a lot about collective action and forming unions, but what if it's a single individual complaining? Is that protected?
>Not even all medical experts agree on the best course of action regarding herd immunity...

This is a dubious claim at best. That being said the real problem is that Musk made the decision about how much risk is acceptable for his employees without their input and seems to be retaliating against those who disagreed.
Uh? The UI was giving them plenty of warnings and alerts. They have supposedly been trained thoroughly on all of this.
Of course, yes, but does it stop any of these politicians to come up with stupid ideas? I don't think so. Do we need more tests of what is OK in front of the European courts? 'cause once these politicians are sufficiently "incentivized" they wont stop pushing "their" ideas.
It should definitely be on your list of considerations. It's the sad reality.
I agree with the general point, but I'd add that there's additional power in collective action, but that's of course harder to organize than a legal challenge. And also that people (both management and not) are also just unaware of the laws.

But yes, to just name one example, I believe there should be punitive damages when a company is found to be in violation of these labor laws.
You're probably right. It worked in Japan.

It's a lot harder for the virus to make it through two masks (the one on the sick person is the especially important one) and it seems if you don't get a exposed to a high enough viral load at the start, you don't get it nearly as bad.

I think universal mask wearing would bring R0 below 1, and the pandemic would end.

Costco requires a mask to shop in their stores (at least where I am.) If you don't have one, they will give you one (and an admonition to save it for the next visit.) I feel safer shopping there than any other store right now.
You can buy this expertise off the shelf: you recruit plant managers from the rest of the car industry & give them a free hand. Or alternatively you can put the time into reading some of the many, many publications that have detailed exactly how it’s done. None of it is secret.

Tesla seems to be unable to do any of this.
I honestly don't know. It really is very difficult to resist the temptation to misuse power, when a lot of it is concentrated in one's hands.

On the other hand, let's analyse:

- on the "means" side: France certainly has a lot of military power. It does drone-killing of terrorist heads in African Sahel. It launches successful intelligence operations abroad. It also succeeds to counter foreign agents on its own soil (ref the identification in 2018 of a GRU cell in France). It has a very solid cyber-defense.

Also, between strengthening the IT, cyber-army, and intelligence services, and just extraditing journalists after-the-fact (or, imagine, abduct them, drone-kill them, etc), which is most resource-intensive? As an engineer, you know that the part where you develop your own system to be more robust and more capable is harder than just band-aid retaliation around past mistakes.

Guess what, US is doing both, so it's seat-belt and airbag at the same time. Very great, France is doing only seat-belt.

- on the "results" side: France tries (currently) to preserve its image, to appear as "good" (not judging if that's true), by playing by the rules internationally, fighting great causes, etc. Whereas US soft power took a huge tall in its (indirect) handling of Assange case. It is now seen as more "evil" as before. More people, especially a lot of intelligent people, are despising US more.

So, supposing the overflow of power hasn't busted the brains out of the government, they should be weighting means and results, and decide in consequence.
You seem to think we disagree, and reading through your points, I'm honestly not sure why.
I understand the point you're trying to make, but being given the ability to pilot a multi-ton vehicle at 70+ mph clearly needs testing requirements. They needn't be overly burdensome, but absolutely need to consistently apply. If someone has to search out a place with no literally requirements, as the parent comment states, they really should not be driving.
> not fear of reprisal is spinning a narrative

I don't simultaneously fear reprisal _while_ reaching out to Russians for help and assistance.

I don't simultaneously fear reprisal _while_ reaching out to the Trump campaign to coordinate the release of leaks.

I don't simultaneously fear reprisal from a country _while_ seeking asylum in that country.

"fear of reprisal" would be the first time I've heard _that_ particular narrative being spun.
Cortex: Open-source machine learning model serving
It was a surprise to me to learn that octaves have a physical. mathematical basis. I discovered this as a teen reading about how to make music on a computer, where the relationship of notes to frequency was explained. To my ear moving up an octave had always sounded like an arbitrary increase in pitch.
mod_perl was dropped with the release of apache 2.4 in 2012 (that's a major release, apache is not semver). If I remember well, it was kicked out of the apache repo.

mod_python was also abandoned around the same time. It simply stopped being developed and stopped working (it's crashing on python 2.7).

Basically applications stop running inside apache memory with mod_xxx for good reasons (it's unstable and crashing both apache and the app). Languages moved to a FastCGI interface or to have a standalone web server.
Then we need good UI libraries for good languages.

I thought of UI toolkits as just niceties until recently. Now I realize that being able to make something pretty with good usability is power.

BLEU and ROUGE scores are almost useless for what they are trying to do (measure how good translation or summarization systems are). The author shows a great example of an excellent translation getting a 0 score.

I tried submitting a NLP paper where I explicitly laid out my reasons for avoiding evaluating my system with ROGUE scores and I learned really quickly that despite having a terrible scoring metric, the NLP community would rather reject all papers without ROGUE scores reported rather than admit that there is an incredible lack of methods for automatically evaluating summaries or translations.

How many good translation or summarization ideas are not published or utilized just because they don't get high BLEU scores? I bet it's a lot of them...
I think the idea if to show the most populous cities in some area, not the density of highly populated cities, otherwise I would agree.
And also, people usually take a people-concept and apply it to tech. "It can't work in tech, so it won't work for the market". On the contrary. Libertarianism does not forbid a company to implement whatever jailed garden it wants, so long as it does not force or lie to its customers. And the problem with the lying corporations does not come from the free market, it comes from government lobbying and protections. Regulations are only a way for the monopolists to curb competition, nothing more.

The consistent amount of bootlicking of Ayn Rand type assholes like Musk on HN always surprises me.
Unfortunately, there are a significant amount of Americans it seems that have bought into the narrative that wearing masks is fascism. So here we are, dealing with the fallout of people demanding that we end the shutdown while doing nothing to mitigate the disease. Or worse, they're openly antagonizing people who wear masks or stores that ask them to wear one because they're psychotic in their ideals.
The reason I didn't use an absolute in my initial comment is because I can definitively see situations where someone qualified but not licensed would wind up in the co-pilots seat because one of the pilots scheduled to make a flight couldn't and cooking the books was seen as a lesser problem than the flight not happening.

You have to remember that in rural areas "but that's illegal" doesn't really carry much weight. It's more a question of the reality of enforcement and ethics/morals. The reason people in rural areas don't go fishing with explosives, dump their hazmat on the side of the road and do other things they could get away with is because they mostly all agree that these things are wrong and the cost of not doing these things is low enough that most people elect not to do those things.

> still ongoing

It's not. The parent and grandparent conversation stopped where they did. Our discussion isn't theirs. We're not pursuing the slippery slope on their behalf, we're not debating the merits of particular word choices.

> whole discussion exhausting? I do, it's entirely asinine

And yet, you of your own free will continue to engage it. Something doesn't stack up between what you say and what you choose to do but it's your affair, i have no cause to dig deeper so i stop here on this particular avenue.

> The argument is not nullified just because you try to will it so.

Agreed. Your argument

>>> it becomes almost impossible to talk and convey ideas

was nullified by:

>> If it's anything short of a law that expressly forbids particular words

A law doesn't make it impossible for me to use the words - i can choose to use the words but only at the cost of breaking the law. It's fair to characterise that as "almost impossible".

No construct exists with lesser severity than a law which exceeds the "almost impossible" test. QED.

Someone once said "Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in the mud. After a while you realise the pig likes it."
They were distracted. Why on earth would you object to the idea of better feedback? If the lever is locked until the plane is willing to engage the landing gear, it's more safe than the current UI.
It will. RD/WRMSR are privileged instructions and will raise an illegal instruction exception if executed outside of ring 0. The kernel has always had a device-level interface to these instructions for the benefit of (properly authenticated) userspace processes.

But as a design point, this is being rolled back. There are just so many MSRs in the modern world and so many are trivially system-breaking that it's just not possible to sanely administer an interface like that.
If you're interesting on why homegrown languages can be interesting, I'd recommend "The Rise & Fall of Software Recipes" (1). The book is more of a softeng memoir than an argument piece, but it has some very interesting examples of home-grown languages (& dev environments).

A mask is no substitute for distance. It does help, but in hospitals, where people know how to use masks properly, a lot of people still got infected. Many people do not know how to use masks properly.

What you want is masks + distance. The mask is really a stop-gap measure when keeping distance fails.

Also: gloves.
It's concerning that they have such a specific number of pilots with fake licenses. It's not like this is something surprising that they're rushing to respond to, at least that's the impression I got from the article.

I think it's a matter of priorities and experience.

I've seen various IT failure modes. This results in me being completely unwilling to be caught in a strange country WITHOUT something physical and tangible in my hand.

In fact, the most disempowering feeling in my life has repeatedly been when a border guard takes my passport away to one building and I'm directed to proceed somewhere else (happened a lot at Canada/US border especially after 911). You feel completely naked and have no defense other than "this random dude with a gun took it away and told me to stand here" - opening itself to any number of Kafkian nightmare scenarios.
Well, without employees showing up there is no more Tesla.

So each employee should be able to make the choice to take a very small risk and go to work or to live in irrational fear and quit their job.

The only mistake Tesla made was saying they didn't have to come if they were afraid. They should have just made it clear, come to work or be fired.

I guess by your logic, CEOs of banks, supermarkets, food processing, farmers, truckers, utility workers, insurance companies, hardware stores, airlines, hotels, hospital workers, etc. are all evil because they are 'forcing' their employees to work too.

But I'm sure that your response (in spirit) will be "The only essential businesses that should be allowed to force people to work are the ones THAT I NEED. I don't need a Tesla so it's not an essential business and we can just let it go out of business and layoff 50K people."
I don't think most people appreciate the level of regulation that ensures safety and quality of life in Western countries. Go to many countries outside of that spectrum and you may still see beautiful architecture and more. Now did the team that worked on that project have the necessary experience to drive a safe and long lasting solution? Does the concrete and steel used follow good standards? This means that it may not have critical structural problems today, but in 5 to 10 years, you may have to reconsider your infrastructure. By doing shoddy work, you have a higher rate of catastrophic failure, larger carbon footprint and many other issues.

"...no one was allowed in, regardless of health check, unless they could prove that they had either financial resources to support themselves, or a US sponsor willing to provide such support"

That's an extremely low bar compared to the situation today. Getting a work visa is expensive and difficult (presently impossible as the Trump administration has shut down H1B and L1 visas).

If you do get a non-immigrant work visa and want to apply for permanent residency, the wait times for green cards are up to 50 years, depending on your country of origin.
You basically need the visit and like graphs (which videos were liked/watched by what users), and I don't think the YouTube API will give you that.

If you had those, a good place to start would be the alternating least squares algorithm.

The visit/like graphs are "one-class", which means you don't know if user x hasn't watched video y because x disliked it or just didn't know of its existence. That makes it harder to apply ALS, but it can be done, e.g. http://www.rongpan.net/publications/pan-oneclasscf.pdf
An alternative design, which I would generally consider superior, is to make it easy to undo leaving a meeting. (This wouldn’t work for the host under the current behaviour model, because the host leaving needs to either assign someone else to be host, or close the meeting for everyone. But you could do it this way for everyone else. Whether it would require waiting room approval again would be an interesting question, however. As usual, there are complexities to be considered.)
The standard is to have indicator lights showing the actual position of the gear, and alarms if you are coming in to land without the gear deployed. If these pilots were truly incompetent, they were likely used to having a wide range of alarms constantly going off and probably ignored the alarm.
Well, Warhammer's Chaos gods are also inspired by Moorcock ;)

Warhammer is definitely more shades of gray than D&D, but I think D&D has some of that too, especially with its less common (and less heroic) settings such as Planescape, Dark Sun, etc.

PS: in case you're a Pole, how did you like Netflix's Witcher? Years ago I read the English translation of The Last Wish and it felt very fresh to me -- I really liked that the monsters are non-standard, it resembled Jack Vance's fiction in that way -- but stopped short of the novels, because what I've been told about them didn't impress me. I really, really liked the short stories though.
