Yes, but Tesla has a bunch of cameras not two human eyes.

Edit: I wonder if a human can learn to drive a Tesla remotely better than another human with radar and multiple camera input by representing them in some useful way.
There are both left-leaning and libertarian variants of anarchy. For the latter: the strongest, most "steelmanned" defense of (libertarian) Anarchy (and it's not even close) is Michael Huemer's The Problem of Political Authority: https://www.amazon.com/Problem-Political-Authority-Examinati...

This is a serious work of analytic philosophy by a highly cited philosopher (who, before this book, was famous for his contributions outside of political philosophy). The book considers all of the strongest arguments against libertarianism and (seems to) decimate all of them.
Electrical wiring is designed to operate safely even if one thing goes wrong. If this is the only out-of-code thing then yeah, it'll be fine.

This is taking me back to an interesting homework exercise in grad school, thanks for posting! Conformal maps have a lot of applications both in pure and applied mathematics.
> in 30 years, if all cars are self-driving and self-navigating via systems like Google Maps, what is the system optimizing for?

If most users are connected to the same system, an obvious direction would be optimizing globally - if there are two routes to go, just load balance them.

I live in Beijing and the traffic is horrible sometimes. The Uber counterpart Didi mandates the routes, and sometimes counterintuitively nice - it seems to be a detour in a narrow valley but it's faster because there is no traffic jam there.

I'm not sure Uber or Didi is doing this already. At the end of the day, if most vehicles' GPS is connected to a single system, while the system is recommending routes to most users. Then it would be possible for the system to optimize for the whole population, rather than being greedy for individuals and create traffic problems.
... and wasting time on hobbies, and tv, and video games, and religious meetings, and comicons, and hiking the same trail hundreds of thousands before you have, and possibly breathing. Why do people also let others know they dropped social media and are probably better human beings than the rest of us who use it in moderation...
"You can google me and find my social media account"

Why can i do this? Sounds like you know the problem already and want a push ;)

A lot of people I know have, no photo of their face, and not their real full name, and goes without saying totally private. Use Facebooks feature to check you have no accidental public ones.

Using photos people have taken from their house, I've found the location and unit numbers before. So all these need to be private if you are really worried.

Wives/husbands/family are good attack vectors. Not much you can do here to begin with. But you want things locked down to at least friends of friends.

I shouldn't be able to easily escalate from necessary public profiles to private ones.

But it's all about working towards the goal. Just make a start. Every little bit reduces the chance you'll get doxxed. You might just have to be the stronger gazelle.

Maybe privacy is dead, maybe it's about having a job you can't be fired from or a gun in the house? Some peoples incomes depend on the public profiles.

Child-free employees are voicing grievances over extra benefits for parents
And this is a good thing. Nobody said that owning our history would be easy. Nobody said multiculturalism would be a win for those who have enjoyed their privilege for too long, at the expense of others.

Does anyone have a problem with this?

If we must abandon the problematic nostalgia for happy, productive, comfortable lives in a nice home with a loving spouse and 4+ children then we must abandon it. No doubt some people will exploit these inconveniences and our anxieties to undermine the noble pursuit of absolute multiculturalism, but I would argue that we need that foreign labour now more than ever. If that means more lower and middle class White Americans can't find work, so be it. I sure as heck don't want to live in an America without HSPs. They might point to interest rates, ever-growing national debt, ever-growing wealth of foreign bankers, and the less subtle anti-Semites might even directly criticize the generous and necessary aid that the US contributes to Israel, but I can hardly think of a more sensible use of taxpayer funds which are literally for the communal good.

As the article says, White Americans are now almost at parity with Black Americans in this particular socioeconomic metric. We have a long way to go yet, but it's a start.
No problem until kids get married. Till then whats wrong with them staying with the family?
They can pay rent (less than the market rate) to parents and manage expenses on their own. Its a total win-win situation. Stop shaming kids or parents who do that.
Perhaps I've put too much trust in social media companies' privacy controls. I trust you can find my accounts but see very little of my profiles or posts of relevance to my offline life. Perhaps it's time to make myself less searchable.

I see rude, snarky comments on HN without a good motivation, so that's surprising. Health and safety is probably the best motivation for calling anyone out that I can think of? Do we whisper gently that the building is on fire?

I believe more research is required for r-ketamine (arketamine) I wonder if it has effects on the opiod system also

They also thought that the mtor pathway was necessary but trials with human subjects and rapamycin showed that it potentiated the AD effects in humans . Which is sad to hear because it was the basis to the creation of NV-5138 that's heading towards phase 2 soon . It could very well work because the mtor pathway Is complicit In mood disorders .

Adoption is optional, you have no legal obligations to adopt them.

It is your decision.
Anarchists that I have met are either daydreamers or deluded. It only takes 1% to ruin the whole thing for everyone. And likely they won't change, so you either have to murder them, imprison them, or let them become your leaders, otherwise your anarchic utopia won't exist for long. This is all starting to sound like how the 1% currently run the world, --sigh--
I suspected you would conclude I was suggesting equivalence. I am not. I’m trying to discuss the role the media plays in furthering the divide. Many on the right are convinced that the Covid response is overblown and insincere. Can’t you see how this NPR - a supposed liberal media outlet - story, especially the tone of it, could be construed to play directly into that narrative? Hyper-partisanship is not a natural outcome, but is fed into our gullets because news has to be framed in ways that piss off both sides.
I'm really struggling to understand if this is serious or satire. I think is serious, which is disturbing to me.

Not every influencer is making income that way.

Facebook is surely able to identify people with significant influence who aren't all that famous and who don't make any money off of it. Approximately, take the top 2% but excluding the top 0.01% to get these users.

Together they have huge influence, but mostly they aren't well-known. Their absence would have a huge impact but might not be noticed by an outside observer.
You can play Scrabble without knowing how to speak the language, or what the grammar is, or what any of the words mean; you only need to know how to spell the words of that language (or least the ones which are permitted in Scrabble).
This is a fresh look at one of the nastiest software engineering disasters ever. While it was not the deadliest nor the most harmful, it is a great case for examining what we desire when we ask for our computers to be correctly programmed.
This 100%. Especially the 'most projects are uninteresting' part.

I see a lot of enthusiastic students writing yet another Tensorflow something of 2 files and uploading it to GitHub. That does not mean these projects are interesting.

It is hard to get great project ideas. On the other hand it is quite easy to slap together yet another python data visualization 'project'.

Another thing is, plagiarism. Some people create repository out of cloned files. (if forked, it will be shown as forked on GitHub).
If you’re trying to prevent an online persona from being tied to your real identity, then you just have to be incredibly paranoid about anonymity. It’s not enough to hide your name, you have to consider hiding anything that makes you identifiable. If I knew somebody was a software engineer, well I wouldn’t know how to find out who they were. If I knew they were a software engineer from Arkansas who contributed to Rust projects, all of a sudden my search would have been narrowed down significantly.

If you want to prevent somebody who knows your identity from finding your phone number, address, etc... good luck. Whether somebody can find that would pretty much boil down to how much effort they’re willing to invest.

I realize that expectation for elderly care varies across cultures, but even in industrialized Western countries, there's some expectation of adult children taking care of their elderly parents. So the argument that we should all pay for the next generation because we rely on them to take care of us rings a bit hollow.

Is my neighbor's kids going to look after me when I get Alzheimers? I imagine not. I'll have to live with whatever service I can afford with my retirement account. For the childless, it's a choice they make to prioritize present comfort over future security. Parents are making the opposite tradeoff, but expect the childless to subsidize their present loss in time/money/leisure. How does that seem fair?
Yeah. You should avoid following people directly too. That reveals a lot about you. You can make a private twitter list.

The article makes it sound like the lawyer botched the first trial, which is mildly surprising given that it was paid for by insurance with a strong motive to win.

You should know before trial exactly how a witness will answer all questions. It doesn't sound like there were any surprise questions, they just didn't prepare the witness well enough for the first trial.
There are plenty of studies out there for whether a particular drug works or does not work in treatment resistant depression.

So to answer your question they do test for that.

This is the way. Ask yourself if you really need an online presence or to be part of fights online.
I built one of these to use a surplus APC power distribution unit (basically a really tall power strip with an ethernet port for monitoring) at my house, because the PDU has a molded 30 amp 120V locking plug that I didn’t want to cut off. There’s no 240V or three-phase plugs on the thing, and I’m not running any more or any different equipment than if I used a more traditional cheap power strip. It’s really nice to be able to have a tall sturdy PDU running up the back of my rack instead of that, though!

My adapter is obviously out of spec and I wouldn’t leave such a thing behind for an unsuspecting future tenant to find, but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it in my particular situation. I love Rachel’s posts but I wish they didn’t have this pervasive air of looking down on the stupid people who did the horrible-thing-of-the-week :/

Hi! Interesting approach. I'm curious what led you to use voice as the interaction mechanism?
To answer on your AWS example.

Honestly, it really depends on which stage of life your company is at, and the resources you can allocate to infrastructure work.

At the very beginning of my company, we did exactly what you mentioned here.

- Pay for a managed NAT gateway? No thanks I can do the NAT myself with iptables on a cheaper EC2 instance.

- Pay for a managed NFS? No thanks I can do it myself

- Pay for managed VPN? No thanks I can setup IPsec myself

- etc.

With time though, as the company starts to gain money, and the number of users increase, we switched back to more managed services. The key here is that you want to refocus your infrastructures efforts on more business centric issues.

Also, most of the time, the time spent to maintain a service is exponential with its scaling. NFS is a good example here. Setting up a number of NFS shares for 5/10 users is fine. Once you get 20+ NFS users, you just better focus on your real company product rather spend month and money on maintaining NFS yourself.
Speaking purely for myself, I wanted to get out of the house as soon as possible - didn't know why. Looking back, my family was totally dysfunctional and toxic. Being in an atmosphere where I couldn't have left (due to things like the economy or whatever) would have been akin to being in an abuse romantic relationship, while living with my partner. But they don't make "safe houses" for 19 year olds trying to escape their parents. You're just homeless.

Looking back, I should have ran away at ~16, things would have been much better.
Design is a broad topic. This post won’t approach the adjective qualifying a style with simple forms and a pure appearance. No. Design is broader than a sleek car or an harmonious living room.

> And lastly, I've had the unpleasant experience of a company taking my open source project

Also, I’m glad your PRs are accepted. I see a lot of projects with lots of old, open PRs. Maybe others don’t have the same experience as you do.
I've been traveling in New England. The sights of aging population are everywhere. Entire towns are run only by the old who may die in a few years. Where are the young people? They are in cities or suburbs of course.

Rural America is decaying for sure.

However, the fix is not to indiscriminately add more humans.

We should make legal immigration streamlined and targeted. Have a target for the year and remove the bureaucracy so people can move in quick allowing us to reach said targets.

But yes, country statistics competition wise, we are about to lose to China asap. Especially with the leadership we have at the top right now.
People seem to focus on the volume of cars. But traffic is not just a matter of volume but of friction between cars. Reducing the friction (naively) appears to be a simpler problem. You wouldn't even need full self driving, only enough tech for cars to merge/switch lanes without slowing down.

Not requiring a central point of control is an additional benefit. The reduction of traffic would be an "emergent" behavior.
Remote operation is not yet a viable option for safely operating vehicles on most public roads. Our cellular data networks are simply too unreliable. What happens when a construction crew accidentally cuts the backhaul fiber for the closest base station? Or when the car is driving through a tunnel?

I'm looking at their list of websites https://www.privacyduck.com/services/ and it looks like this is pretty similar to services that will pay to remove your mugshot from the internet...

One deal breaker for me regarding OnlyOffice is that they have absolutely no support for RTL https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/DocumentServer/issues/19 . From what it looks like there is a 5 year opened issue requesting RTL support. Until they support RTL, I can't use them.

Softmaker on the other had does support RTL. They still have a long way to go to be at the level of Microsoft office, but they are the best Linux office suite that I found
This is a key point missing in your original post. If being politically active using your real name or real face is required, you'll need to just accept that people will be able to tie your name and face together eventually.

You can additionally try to make yourself not stand out in real life: Choose a non-flashy style of dress. Black hoodie, hat, glasses, mask. Something that dozens of other people will be wearing at such events.
A lot of young adults have abusive parents. The problem isn’t about shame but working full time without being able to afford a place of their own. USA has fallen so greatly in regard to the wellbeing of youth. I guess if people think that’s fine they should know it’s not that way in other first world countries. Young adults can even pay for university without taking on huge debt.
I like how Authoritania is a caricature of evil but they stop short of invading Anarchia. They want to project their evil government control everywhere but I guess they haven't figured out boats. This is very convenient for the metaphor.
Staying in the family like that is also not very uncommon outside the US. And only in the last century in the US did single-generation households become the norm. Even when you are married mom and dad are useful as free childcare help.
I couch surfed for a couple summers in college and my wife full on lived in a car for a while before we met. We never thought of moving back in with our parents as an option. heh as soon as my little sister moved out my parents moved into a very small house, there would have been no where to sleep anyway.

(I was born in '76 so sorta gen-x)
18 year olds and 29 year olds are worlds apart. Does anyone have these numbers broken down by smaller age groups?

Given that universities are largely online only and dorms are closed, it’s not surprising that large numbers of college age students would be moving home. Including them with people in their late 20s muddies the waters.
It’s not really a problem after kids get married either. Standard practice in India. My wife and I (in our 30s) don’t exactly live with my parents, but they’re 10 minutes away and we might not come home for days at a time. I think it’s fairly common even among Americans. My wife’s family in Oregon has more than one recently married couple living with one of their parents.
What bothers me so much is that my work is supposed to be my hobby. After programming for 8 hours a day, I go home and do something else, I have no interested in programming once I'm done working.

Some companies I've interviewed with claim that I'm just not enthusiastic about programming, or that I'm not motivated enough, simply because I don't do any programming at home. They also questioned how I could learn new things. And my answer is usually the same; if they expect someone that wants to program 24/7, then I'm definitely not the right person. I have other hobbies I'm interested in, and I have no desire to burn out. I also expect to be given the time to keep up with new tech on the job.
I have other systems as well. My music production machine is loaded to the hilt Mac with stupid amounts of drive space and memory. I need it for recording music, and doing things to the occasional video. I believe in segregation of duty - it spends as little time connected to the network as necessary to stay updated, and that's about it. I also have an older iMac with a Wacom tablet, but again, segregation of duties.

I got into the Raspberry Pi 3 because I was experimenting with MPI and didn't want to buy a full size/weight cluster. It wound up being kinda fun for everything else when I wasn't multi-processing, too. And it cleanly did everything except Youtube (which I've already mentioned).

My music station is dual monitor (hence your question) and both monitors have two inputs... so of course when I bought a pi4 I plugged it into both immediately. The pi4 handles the load for my usual activity and my Lisp stuff, and I like the OS (Raspbian). Of course its slower than a typical desktop, but it's barely an issue - it's not particularly slow enough to matter for general things. It doesn't feel sluggish. Web pages take exactly the same amount of time and effort. The office suite runs perfectly fine. And Youtube doesn't stutter (although Chrome is the one thing that is clearly at its limits, according to the cpu meter...). So I just ended up doing most things there.

I should add that I also have some Arduino bits and bobble, some robot kits, and a boatload of electronic gear. So it's not just random that I use the Pi a lot. I just ended up enjoying it enough to spend a lot of time on it. Its actually better than my laptop that continually reminds me why I'm not a Microsoft Windows fan.

It's easy to back up, and if it broke down, meh, buy another. It keeps up, but won't hurt my bank if it blows up, either. I can run a lot of them silently. A lot of non-typical reasons, probably.

I'm not a gamer, so although 8Gb will be better (I'll get one eventually) the 4Gb actually suites me fine.
