I was a bit confused by that tangent. By the title of the article I was hoping for a bit of psychological insight on how people react to facts in certain conversations and then suddenly I’m asking “is the author trying to convince me aliens are flying space craft now?”

The rest was a bit of a ramble as well. The main tenets of the fact trust, context, and the third one seemed interesting though.
Our overly restrictive copyright law does a lot of unnecessary damage to our culture and our society. Instead of adapting to technological change, many music companies seem intent on protecting their revenue by limiting the expression of others, and the ability to remix content.

I wonder if there are exceptions for properly licensed music. It is certainly so hard to license most music that such exceptions are practically useless, though.

I worked for Best Buy (Geek Squad) as well, about 12 years ago. I had the same experience. Even if they were going to pay me for the time, it felt wrong that they told me I was not able to leave. At times you could be waiting for 15 minutes. It was my first job at 16 years of age, and I didn't have the care or confidence to correct the time punch. At my store they would have to approve time punch modifications, so it would have been obvious if you did that every night.

The one person who did get fired for stealing was simply grabbing laptops, removing them from their box, and casually walking out with them.

Swapping a battery is simply a lot more complex than charging it.

Renault tried it with the Fluence in Israel, it stopped. The Zoé has been designed to have easy battery swaps but it's not used.

Tesla did some demos in the past but they didn't explore more.

However Nio still believes in this solution, with proprietary batteries, so if they are very successful in China some others may try again.

So if you're forced to trust all of the peers, how is this better than a cloud? Who out there is training models for purely benevolent reasons (i.e. non-profit seeking) and can trust random nodes? If not for purely benevolent reasons, who out there is going to donate CPU time to training your model, essentially writing you a blank check?

Might be true, but don’t see any open source work from Amazon in public domain which shows they built their own libraries from scratch to manage Xen and cloud management in early years from 2008.

Indeed it’s 2020 and yet to see any major open source work from Amazon (which has benefited a lot from open source itself using Perl, CPAN, C, Java, Linux etc.). In this respect IBM, google, Microsoft, Facebook and Apple are far better. Here even Oracle fare better due to acuisition of MySQL and sun microsystems.

I believe the major contribution from amazon might be hiring some of the open source developers to build proprietary systems. Those developers in spare time or weekends continue their open source project, but I do not have any study or articles on it.

Based on my information in 2013, amazon built their cloud using Xen hypervisor and related tools and libraries. Libvirt is one of the key libraries providing beautiful abstractions and language bindings to manage xen on Linux node at that time.

It will be nice if you can point to code from Amazon on low level library like Libvirt for cloud computing.

I'm not too sure why this is supposed to be surprising. When chemical reactions are involved, you often need chemicals.

A significant portion of digital meters used for servicing swimming pools require servicing/replacement of strips/chemicals (reagents) within the device.

Yes, there are also digital meters that work without chemicals per se, and have special electrodes that measure electric current. However, this approach quite simply doesn't work for all chemical reactions.
> How is something harmful if the effects are below a measurable threshold?

AFAIU, the claim in the literature is that nobody has found a dosage without a measurable effect, at least at population scale. Now, that may simply be because nobody has setup a study to test a dosage at the limits of what can be measured. But in any event the claim is based on numerous studies that postdate most quantitative lead level thresholds. Those regulatory thresholds haven't been updated because the consensus opinion now, in light of the believed mechanism of action in neurological tissue and epidemiological data, is that any ingestion can potentially have a lasting, detrimental impact, however slight; and the consensus goal, however aspirational, is to eliminate all lead exposure during developmentally critical years.

Punching somebody in the head might not cause any meaningful, discernible damage, but nobody is suggesting it's benign, and nobody is going to invest any effort to determine the minimum impact force or number of impacts below which damage is indiscernible or nonexistent. You just aim to avoid all punches to the head, period. Any quantitative thresholds, such as number of known concussions, are simply designed to help allocate limited resources for aggressive interventions. The same is true for lead--preexisting federal and state blood lead levels are designed (or rather reconstrued, ex post) to be a trigger for intervention, not a threshold below which we presume the absence of damage. It's an important distinction.

Of course, it's understood that lead is not only pervasive in the natural environment, but in our industrial processes and especially in our built environment. That's why Federal law deliberately declassified lead as hazardous waste--to make it cheaper and easier to remove and dispose of post haste. Contrast that with asbestos or other hazardous, sometimes more benign, substances.

I remember when everybody on HN complained about the EU banning leaded solder. I think most of the complaints missed the point--there is no safe level for lead in the environment considering its effect on neurological development. We can't objectively set a specific level that we can honestly, knowingly live with as a society, so the policy is simply to slowly, methodically remove it as best we can.
Are you saying "is suffered" stands alone? What does that mean? I read it as "is suffered to work", meaning the employee is allowed to work, which in this case it sounds like it might not apply.
At first, I thought you meant repeat the study but swap out the cognitive tests so the stoned teens are playing video games and eating ice cream. Pretty sure I can extrapolate the results of that study with 99% accuracy.

I was actually going to reply with something similar, but I don't think this stacks up to the damage that can be unleashed in a nuclear accident. Building this took a few lifetimes. Nuclear accidents can have effects that are orders of magnitude larger and longer.
> Another option, which may be unpopular is to find a less demanding job. No one wants to hear it, but theres a plenty of development jobs, especially in non-tech companies where you don't have to be that good, you won't do much outside the standard 9-5 hours, pay what you want,and you can coast at for a very long time as long as you aren't a total incompetent. These ofc come with their own issues, but it might be the most realistic option you have, although you haven't gone into much details as to why you want out.

Why not just allow both and not be restrictive? And keep the choice to consumers and manufacturers. Why not just focus on safety standards of the vehicle and batteries

Just imagine a country that did not allow you to buy a laptop with pre-fitted batteries. A heavy user like me would like a standardized external battery in that case, but many won't. The limitations on the design are huge. I am not arguing against swappable batteries.

With electric cars being approx 2 times costlier in India, I do not think taxis would be a use-case for that. They are a business and they need to look at practical cost-benefit and they will not be the first ones to jump to electric.

On top of that only 5-10% of India's population can afford to be generally environment friendly in an impactful way. And only 1 or max 2% can afford the huge upfront premium on electric cars.

The Indian government needs to create less restrictive and less taxing policies towards electric but it creates policy quagmires, has a very small tax base and hence is tax-greedy overall.
AWS is tricky in terms of how storage is provisioned - I don't remember details, but it's easy to put your datasets on storage that is connected to your GPU servers over 1Gb link. That could easily become a bottleneck. Datasets should live on Elastic Block Storage or something like that, over high speed links. Again, it's been a while since I looked into that, so I don't remember the details.
I would like have some proficient understanding over the architecture of Linux. Both in terms of how the kernel works, and how everything is configured up to userspace.

I'm inclined to go the systemd route because I use it myself regularly, but I also understand that systemd is a bit of a monolithic piece within Linux. I suspected that it might hide a lot of things that used to be more discrete and manual (but more unix-y).
For me, this was not true. I smoked weed almost daily from my freshman year in high school through college. I was able to zone in and concentrate while high, and every subject was much more fascinating. It did take me longer to do the work but I pulled straight A's and was probably more creative and more willing to take calculated risks. I was probably the exception though because most of my stoner friends did not have this experience.

Both of those are really good to hear. I've often dreamt of two things:

Making a completely bespoke little bluetooth macro keyboard with maybe 5-10 keys on it.

The other is probably further off, but I want movable keys. Not custom PCBs laid out how I want, but some way to move keys around, so I can say "today the escape key should be 2 mm down" and move the key.

The first might happen, but sadly I suspect the second is very expensive, and has a customer base of maybe one person.
Yes. I understand to "be suffered" here means "to be made to go through something unpleasant/undesired/etc."... which is what a security check is. The point I take being that if you make employees "suffer", you can't use their inability to perform work during that time as an excuse not to pay them. (Note the word in between is "or", not "to".)
In this paper (presented at the 1989 Maximum-Entropy and Bayesian Methods conference), Jaynes shows how Bayesian probability methods can cast new light on problems in physics. He starts with a derivation of Einstein's diffusion formula and then moves into discussing the "mind projection fallacy", the EPR paradox, and Bell's inequality.

Jaynes takes the controversial point of view that Bell's inequality does not rule out all hidden variable theories, and claims that the conventional interpretation of Bell's inequality is based on a misapplication of probability.

You may or may not agree with Jaynes on this issue, but regardless it's a fascinating read.

I’ll start.

Take an XML document. Validate it.

Take all of the top level elements. Call getElementByID on each with the same value. Combine all the answers into an array, eliminating the nulls.

You might expect that array to have length one or zero on all valid documents. You’d be wrong, and dangerously so for some XML schemas. You can use the same ID on every node and I don’t know of a parser that would balk at that. And yet every implementation will return the first node that has that ID, which will then change any time you descend into the DOM.

Metals melt at lower temperatures than salt.

Also think of how saltwater effects metal. That's just a bit of salt dissolved in water. Molten salt is like that, but way more concentrated, and hotter. Corrosive reactions go faster when you add heat. Molten salt is like metal's worst nightmare.

That's before you even add the radioactivity into the mix, I believe that makes this problem an order of magnitude harder than just trying to contain molten salt, which is already kinda pretty hard.

Stone, maybe, something like a specialized ceramic could work?

For freight? It's pretty solid.

In calendar year 2019, the alameda corridor [1] processed about 4.8 million twenty foot equivilent units (TEU) [2] and the ports of los angeles and long beach processed about 9.3 million [3]. So around about half of the container trips to or from the port are by rail rather than truck. Some of the containers may just get put on trucks at the rail yards at the other end of the corridor to avoid trucking congestion in the port, but I don't think there's a lot of that. (I could be wrong)

For passengers? It's pretty iffy outside of commuter rail, Amtrak operates on freight lines, and is deprioritized, and there's a lot of freight volume, so there's a lot of delays for passengers.

I don't know the right keywords to find data for the ports of Oakland and Stockton. They probably have a decent rail volume too, but they have more challenging geography to get east than in southern california.
