Which prompts the question of whether he has applied for citizenship.

Apparently that is an option for people who have lived in the country for at least 5 years, but it is subject to "good character" requirements and possibly some degree of political consideration, so it may not be enough for him to solely rely on being deemed innocent until proven guilty.

Nice little growth hack, I see you cover all the HN launches on your YT Channel!
You are 100% correct that most credit unions have terrible credit cards. Unfortunately most of them also have terrible online banking. They also have terrible fraud detection.

The balance that I have found works good for me is that I keep liquid assets at credit unions and I will get a debit card from them, but try to avoid using it if at all possible. I also hold credit cards with the major banks (except Wells Fargo, which I refuse to bank with in any capacity). I make all purchases throughout the month on credit cards with the exception of things like mortgage, car payment, etc.. Obviously also paying those cards off each month. There are numerous advantages to using credit cards over debit cards that I won't get into here.

I have a variety of credit cards that use Chase, BofA, AMEX, and Capital One. I also have at least one of each of the three major card brands (Visa, Mastercard, Amex).

Then of course I have a couple investment accounts I use for holding long term assets.

I find that this balance is the best that you can come up with. My liquid assets (money I make from work for example) goes into my primary credit union account. I try to hold mortgage and car loans through the same credit union and those get paid directly from the checking account. I try to avoid any other line items on that account other than payments to pay off credit cards. Then day-to-day expenses (food, amazon, stuff from Target, etc) get paid with credit cards. This way no one has direct access to my liquid assets if a card number gets compromised. I also don't have to deal with the bad online banking experience of the credit unions because I don't really use them for much other than a selected number of major payments each month. Instead my general purchases are on well known credit cards that have really good apps (Like Chase for example) and online experiences and reward programs.

This balance is great. You build a good relationship with a credit union and you keep your primary liquid assets with them instead of the major banks. Credit Unions are particularly good when you want things like Mortgages, construction loans, lines of credit, or car loans. So you can use credit unions for these things and maintain a good relationship with them. But where the credit union is weak, you leverage the strength of the major banks for good credit cards, good rewards programs, good fraud detection, good apps, and so forth. But at the end of the day they don't actually hold any of your money.
The other theory was migratory birds, since it appeared in a pig-farm populated place with a lot of bird migrations during the migration time of year.
Good. I'm eternally creeped out by how many cameras are now in residential neighborhoods in urban and suburban areas.

In the city, there's a dozen cameras on every corner. This was a problem a decade ago, but once you left the densely populated areas for the suburbs and rural areas, cameras were few and far between.

Now in the suburbs, there's cameras at the intersections and in parks, and everyone is wiring up their homes with neighborhood surveillance cameras that let law enforcement know if the cameras capture any potential evidence that the government can subpeona or copy via a warrant without ever having to let the cameras' owners know.

Your risk of dying from cancer increases with aging, not age. Old people face a greater probability of getting cancer each year because their bodies are being progressively damaged.

If you could hold the probability at the level of an 18 year old, that would massively reduce the incidence.

> should naturally select the least deadly

This only works for diseases where symptoms and being contagious are concurrent. In the case of Covid-19 we know that humans can be contagious without experiencing negative symptoms. The potentially fatal symptoms appear later on.

The danger with that is that there is no reason for evolutionary processes to favor a less deadly strain as the disease has a window to spread before it starts damaging you. The evolutionary pressure towards being less deadly only happens because a disease that kills people too fast doesn't have time to spread as far as a less lethal strain.

In the case of Covid the disease could easily evolve the opposite direction: to be 100% fatal after two weeks of non-symptomatic contagion. It would still be able to spread just fine using its initial two week period, so there would be little to no evolutionary pressure toward lower fatality rates.
Increasing the cost of food is anti-poor. Increasing the cost of luxury fabric, not so much. Until poverty and hunger are eliminated worldwide, it's going to be hard to make me care more about how animals are farmed in order that the most possible people can afford enough to eat.

It's easy to not care about people not getting mink coats. Much harder to care about people having food taken out of their mouths by people who think they have a right to dictate that sort of thing. If you think eating pork should be forbidden, I've got a part of the world to introduce you to.
There is a lot of work going on in many directions. Believe me, whenever the general public notices some "obvious" shortcomings or holes or missing research, there is usually already years of effort in the making and heaps of papers exploring it. It's just that there is a huge delay to media and popular consciousness.

If you just read the "AI" comment sections on HN it may seem everybody is just training a cat/dog classifier in Keras on ImageNet and nothing new is going on. In reality there's tons of work in one-shot/few-shot learning, unsupervised, self-supervised methods, combining modalities, quantifying uncertainty, robustness to attacks, etc.

Yes, robotics is still not at the stage where you could get a human-like dexterous dishwashing/T-shirt folding machine. But people are working on it as well.

However, not all companies need it. The "comfy well-funded bro-club corner" (why so much envy in the phrasing?) probably does not need physical robots, they just do data analysis, like if you need to process videos uploaded to Youtube, or you program an intelligent tool for photo or video editing software, that's also important and has nothing to do with robotic arms.

I think it's the fault of the media that "AI" appears as this single conceptual blur, when it's actually tons of different applications. It is capable of a lot more than 1-2 decades ago. But it's not AGI, and not everyone needs to work on human-like/conversational AGI in a humanoid body.

Image analysis, machine translation, speech recognition, all these work today at least to some extent and just a short time ago they just did not work at all outside extremely carefully crafted cases in prototypes that fell apart immediately when the researcher wasn't there to keep it from collapsing (I mean this metaphorically: the predictions were extremely bad outside the scenario and dataset it was crafted for).

First, I highly doubt any investors would be interested in yet another Uber/Lyft competitor with nothing to differentiate. They operate at billion dollar losses and just laid off a bunch of employees. It's just a race to who can drive prices lowest and establish a monopoly.

Second, you're right in part, I don't want to build another uber, but not because its hard work (I like hard work). It's just that ethically Uber is pushing our country in the wrong direction, furthering our dependence on private individual transit, while further burdening the worker and the environment.

Indeed, I've got dear imgui working like that and it's the performance is miles above any retained gui. Dear imgui however it is not designed with this in mind. You run into a some issues with timing, handling release events and a few things which normally take 1-3 frames to fully resolve. Things like key repeats are off. It feels more desirable to fork the lib or design an alternative imgui to support long periods of idle time.

You're completely right, but I'm not really suggesting it; they are being "double counted".

That being said, an individual's share of the "public interest" is incredibly miniscule, and there's relatively few owners, so it's not like it's equal on both sides. In fact, that's ultimately the problem; that we constantly bend due to "corporate interests" that are subject to the whims of an incredibly small fraction of society that is, in general, massively disconnected from the norms of society.

Add on to that, generally having a large amount of money and privilege means that most of the things that are in the "public interest" aren't really of significant concern to you because you can simply buy your way into a completely different system (see public vs private education)
Not necessarily. When bandwidth balances you can get peering agreements, but AWS will be very server heavy. Moving data in would just improve their ratios and help them reduce their own costs, so, it makes sense to make it free.

Eliminate corporations from being legal entities. They shield employees from their illegal actions and provide a shield against lawsuits. Then we could avoid the extra litigation necessary for Peircing the corporate veil.

The problem with ceiling camera on rails would be that it won't see stuff in the lower shelves. It would be best to have a camera at human level, or lower.

But going this way, why not put a camera on each shelf, looking at the shelf opposite of it? I.e. if you have shelf A and shelf B opposite each other, the camera on A looks at B, and camera on B looks at A. The goal would be to have each shelf seen by at least one camera.

It now becomes a problem of integrating data, but I can't imagine it being more complex than crowd-navigating robots, or even moving cameras on rails.

If you're writing async code you don't need to worry about pinning unless you're manually writing futures or designing an executor. But if you are curious, this chapter explains it pretty good:

https://rust-lang.github.io/async-book/04_pinning/01_chapter...

> Apparently, recursion adds a new level of complexity to async.

It really doesn't - it's just some users may be surprised by the lack of magic when it comes to Rust. Async is implemented with futures, futures are types, and you can't recursively define a type without boxing.

> Apparently, this boxing and pinning is what you get when you don't have a GC, and that when you do have a GC, you simply don't need to deal with it. So that was the final straw for me.

It's kind of weird to me that language developers would pass on Rust because they don't understand memory management. How is memory going to be managed in Dark? If it's GC'd, how is that implemented?
Look at it another way. Docker is a complete PITA with many severe flaws as a piece of software, but it won because it raised investor money and spent it on stuff that was then given away for free. Basically it funnelled investor money into everyone else's budgets, which is a pretty sweet deal. If they hadn't done that, and if they'd worked on scaling their business in line with revenues, then quite possibly they'd have (A) more competitors and (B) better software. But it's hard to compete with free.
It does limit performance, but not in a relevant way for the type of applications Beam is designed for.

An excellent feature is their wishlist. Add releases you would like to obtain, and you can get an email "newsletter" with new/good deals on these releases. You also get to see if one seller has multiple wishlist items to help reduce shipping. Or just browse through the seller's other listings and add a few cheap records without raising the shipping cost.

Depends on where you are. The US has significantly improved testing (I work for a COVID-19 testing company) but people don't socially isolate or wear their damn masks.

Where do you draw the line? Some companies are using it for polished large tooling which may have thousands of end-users. Those users will eventually want a solution to tackle that.
The rich are better off in every way than the poor, every day. That's the nature of life. It isn't fair. Life being unfair doesn't mean something unethical is happening. Ostensibly, those that have the money to pay more either worked more for it, got luckier, or someone else who worked harder or got luckier loved them enough to gift them their wealth. Why should people be punished for luck or receiving a gift (inheritance) because it's 'unfair' to other people who weren't so lucky?

It isn't the rich peoples' fault, or the poor peoples', that there was a sudden surge in demand for these goods, or that the market did its job in adjusting the goods to their new real price in order to keep them on shelves. That's exactly what you want. Otherwise, no amount of luck or hard work will allow you to get that good even if you really, really, want it, and are willing to sacrifice other goods in order to pay the elevated -- but worth it, due to the circumstances -- price, because that elevated price was banned by people crying about "price gouging."
