Well I'd be appreciative of any data that shows that instead of just a curt response. You shouldn't call me out presenting my hunches honestly. If you have data that disagrees, show it. Otherwise, your hunch is as good as mine.

The data I've seen essentially shows the in vitro safety of self-driving cars. Yes, these cars are driving out in the real world, but they are singular in a sea of human drivers. The reports I've seen is that the cars are overly careful and just put along. The safety data of such trials will be skewed. You can't simply extrapolate that safety data out to where now you have say 25% self-driving and 75% human drivers and so on. It's a dynamic problem.

I've seen presentations by Waymo managers. Just as little as a year or two ago, the cars were basically incapable of handling snow or rain. You may be offended by the marketing comment, but until we see holistic data that supports what the marketing says, that's the reality.

The existing data on Uber and Lyft is clear. They increase accidents and congestion. How do self-driving cars approach this problem? Because there's clear precedence that the introduction of a new paradigm of driving causes problems, even ignoring the aspect of self-driving versus human driver.
WebThings works with Zigbee and Z-Wave devices out if the box. It has support for Eufy, Etekcity, LIFX, Philips Hue, Ring, Roku, LG WebOS, Sonos, Kasa, and tons more.

Ethics is not not politics though. Everything is political. Claiming that ethical concerns should impact business decisions is certainly political. We can wish to “not discuss politics in the workplace”, but then it isn’t really possible to have any discussion.
As a white man, when my work is rejected, I assume it's because my work needs improvement. This is an advantage of being a white man. When things don't go my way, I don't need to wonder if it's a macro-aggression, an act of systemic discrimination, or suppression of a marginalized voice. I don't envy my colleagues who navigate these waters.

Furthermore, even if my manager or employer makes it an explicit priority to promote more women or PoC, I don't question whether my own gender or skin color will ultimately work against me at promotion time. I grew up in a time and environment where I didn't need to question that, so I tend not think about it. Even if I did think about it, it's a culturally inappropriate question to ask, so my only option is to keep my head down and work harder.
There is also a separate article from this site that speculates that Tesla's easily observable quality problems with Autopilot are actually the result of Tesla intentionally hobbling it so drivers don't become complacent: https://jperla.medium.com/why-tesla-autopilot-ought-to-be-aw...

The article admits it has no evidence for this speculation ("Is Tesla doing this? Perhap not.") but at other points assumes it is true ("This is the Safety Paradox. Tesla cannot launch its safest, newest version of the algorithm for every driving mile because that would, paradoxically, cause more accidents since the safest, newest software would be above the L3 Barrier.")

It then makes the further unsupported assertion that you can measure the extent to which Tesla has "perfected" its self-driving capability by measuring the rate of Tesla accidents that occur when Autopilot is not enabled, theorizing that this is the only mode where Tesla has not hobbled its safety features. In this mode, the article theorizes, the full power of Tesla's self-driving technology goes to "correct for human driving, as if one has a virtual bumper car, protecting and cocooning the driver."

In general the site seems quite pro-Tesla and anti-Waymo.

Disclosure: I work for Google but also own a Tesla.
The point is to not use language comments for adding behavior. This is a huge code smell and more error prone. Take a step back and evaluate this idea, like I did, and realize this is not a good idea. Ask language experts their opinion. Your getting the opinion of a developer who did the same and discovered issues, and then went looking for answers. Your response is to shill the tool you work on because you have attachment to it. You have to be able to evaluate your work without attachment, to see it from an unbiased view, and to take feedback without fighting back.
Is QAnon prevalent? I keep reading it is, but I have never encountered it. (Edit: I just googled it, and Wikipedia claims there have been studies finding hidden Facebook groups about QAnon with millions of users. Seriously, I don't think that is sufficient proof for the ubiquity of QAnon. Edit2: the article I read, German Wikipedia, pretty much seems to simply equate people who voted for Trump with QAnon believers. No wonder they estimate their number to be in the millions. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/QAnon ).
Any reviews of the (beta) ad blocking that comes with raspap, esp. with regard to this?
Do you have a source for that? According to this article, they are much less than that:

>...royalties, at least among the top houses, are basically the same. Authors are paid, for hardcovers, 10% of the cover price on the first 5,000 copies sold, 12.5% on the next 5,000, and 15% thereafter. For paperbacks authors receive 7.5% of the cover price (occasionally with an escalator) and for eBooks 25% of the publisher’s net receipts. Many independent publishers pay lower royalties than these, but rarely do they pay higher. Competition between publishers takes the form of advance competition, with royalties generally being very similar, especially at the big houses.

The newish JEPI etf offers a 10% yield and monthly payments. I tend to buy it as part of my dollar cost averaging strategy when markets seem overheated that week.
Illicit tactics aside which other comments seem to cover, for HN'ers, I suspect there's a very real opportunity to make money by providing security auditing services to crypto startups and projects.

Other ideas:

- Crypto lending/staking (risky)

- Build blockchain based games (e.g. https://roobet.com/)

- HODL (seriously, a lot of the money made is from buying and waiting)

- Community-building (YT Channel, newsletter, blog, meetups, etc.)

- Arbitrage (success stories are not googleable)

- Flash-loan strategies (this verges on illicit, ymmv)

- Build a fund. If you have a wealthy network that's not techy, there's probably interest.

- Crypto-art (NFTs etc, budding community)

- Mining. This is profitable if you have access to free/cheap power

- Build technology that actually leverages blockchain -- streaming micropayment-based business models, truth estimation via prediction markets, distributed computing (Filecoin/RNDR/Codius/GNT), idea X where crowdsourcing is key to success. I agree that most of this stuff can be built with a centralized model, but that doesn't mean there isn't money to be made going the crypto route. In some cases the crypto aspect might be the interesting thing that builds your top of funnel and makes users actually use it. After all, real crypto enthusiasts are wanting for valid use cases.

Freely discussing in small human-social scale is natural. Ability to broadcast and disseminate information at instantaneous, transnational scale is as unnatural as printing press, radio and television. For individuals to do so via unfettered individual platform outside of existing power structures that's foundation to all large scale human governance systems since history even more so. Free speech + mass dissemination was conceived and rationalized as the ultimate democratic instrument, and it may very well be. But it is also an artificial instrument that was always going to disrupt. We anticipated it, an experimented with it for 15 years. The question now is whether this type of instrument is useful for governance and this type of democracy preferable. I don't think it is.

I don't think it isn't either, there could very well be a combination of factors like proper media and civil literacy that enables a society that could operate with unlimited speech. All I _feel_ is the status quo now is not working. Many feel the same way. It's not a hard why, it's a slowing growing consensus that does not feel misplaced. Information and ideas spreading faster than word of mouth and walking speed shapes society through each successive technological mediation that enables faster and broader transmission. Free speech in person with your peers is not the same as free speech online. Hence medium is the message. If the medium is the problem, than tweak it.

Product-Market Fit Isn't Enough
People using the system to say things that I don't like, won't be "solved" by letting everyone have the system help them find whoever they tell it they trust.

Using a trust / reputation system to prevent wrongthink means it has to be a centralized reputation system, where anyone too far from the median (or who the Cabal doesn't like, if you design it to not trust the general userbase) gets shut down.

Also, why would a decentralized system be able to have a stronger effect that the efforts Twitter and Facebook are currently taking to flag or block wrongthink? If those efforts are "half measures", what sort of "full measure" would this reputation system impose? And if it's really distributed, how would that be imposed?
It can also be argued that Apple’s approach is a bit user-hostile. If someone wants their display at a 50% brightness ceiling (e.g. working in a darker room) it would be jarring to see HDR content overriding that, especially as such content becomes more prevalent.
Antilibrary men... https://nesslabs.com/antilibrary
The key problematic proposal was not the business model per se (the agency model was left largely in place even after the anti-trust was lost and punitive measures applied), it was Apple coordinating the publisher oligopoly to force Amazon and other ebook stores to switch their business models in concert.

I quit that way. I made a decision to stop smoking and switched to using a vaporizer. That satisfied the oral fixation and I felt better, physically, rather quickly. I then tapered off the nicotine (pretty quickly, compared to most people). Within a few months I was using zero nicotine mixes. After that, the next step was to limit it to home and bars, still with no nicotine. That was seven or eight years ago. I've had two cigarettes since and both tasted abysmal. No interest any more. My vaporizer hasn't left my desk in years. Occasionally I'll puff on it when I'm really stressed but it's a placebo and a habit of over decade of smoking. Changing rituals and eventually getting rid of all the nicotine was my path to success.
I fail to see the relevance of your analogy? CEOs may or may not be psychopaths, but afaik it is not illegal to be a psychopath? Nor does it imply such a person will do evil things?

I personally think that the "successful pyschopaths" meme is also way overblown, but I don't really know. I think being a psychopath is actually a deficiency, not a super power. Also in business I think people who help other people tend to be more successful overall than the stereotypical ruthlessly selfish people.

Edit: I think you added the link later on, that cites 21% of CEOs to be psychopaths? I would wait for replication on that one. It reminds me of another thing I read where reading about economics allegedly turned people into psychopaths (which is of course bullshit - just because you learned about rational decisions, as perhaps most CEOs do at some point, doesn't mean you are a psychopath). I suspect the questionnaire or the study they used to determine the "21%" number may in fact be motivated by politics.

Thank you for the info. The relevant Wikipedia article mentions Leslie Ballentine and his textbook ("Quantum Mechanics, A Modern Development") quite a lot. I happen to have studied a couple of the latter chapters in this book and now you made me want to open it again :)
It might surprise you but being in the spectrum doesn't mean being autistic as in the cliché.

It's, as the same implies, a spectrum.

I've lived in the US, New York, Los Angeles and Columbus Ohio for a brief period.

(I also lived in Berlin and Barcelona, but that doesn't really count as a radically different experience for an European)

I have strong northern African looks, but am still white and loved every moment in the US.

But the devil is in the details, I could not ignore that when my friends there told me that some neighborhood was dangerous it really was dangerous, not dangerous as we usually mean it when we say it in Italy.

I could not ignore the staggering amount of homicides reported in the news.

This year LA will surpass 300 homicides in a year, Italy has 12 times the population of LA and there were "only" 270 homicides last year.

I could not ignore that the police is scary there and you should not talk to them or engage in any way.

I swear I notice a difference when I see one.

Having said that.

Globalization is real, but the media here are not trying to exploit my weaknesses to sell me ads, they are putting ads on their products, generic ads, not "I know who you are and I know you're gonna like this" ads.

I'm ok with the first kind, not so much with the latter.

The point of decentralised web is a misguiding one.

The decentralised web is the web!

Everyone can build their own website and host it at home on a raspberry PI on their connection.

That's what made the web a novelty that could (hopefully) spread culture and knowledge.

The dicotomy between centralised and decentralised web was born because the web has been taken away from people and transformed in a targeted ads delivery machine by the same companies that sell ads (FB, Twitter, Instagram and most of all Google, they sell ads as a primary business)

They are fighting to get screen attention so that they can deliver even more ads to the people.

And when we say ads we are not simply talking about product advertisement, we are talking about political ads used to radicalise the debate, that the same companies selling ads control, thanks to the network effect.

And since the majority of companies doing it are American, I blame the USA that let them do it

As paradoxical as it might sound China doesn't need to sell ads to people to convince the people to support this or that position, because there is no alternative position.

They rely on good old State propaganda, which existed for centuries ans has been studied for decades and is a well understood topic.
I'd be curious to know what the libraries are that allow this sort of database engine design. Are there any open source examples?

> I agree with the premise of the article. Humans are remarkably good at driving, and making a computer better will be hard.

The economic incentives for autonomous driving are interesting, for but just saving lives, collision avoidance is where to focus. If you have tech as good as Waymo, integrating that into a car so it intervenes when it's highly confident the driver doesn't know what they're doing and highly confident it knows the right thing to do would be huge.
DNS is on port 53. So block outgoing port 53 except to your own DNS server. Likewise for DNS Over TLS (DoT), on port 853. The problem is DoH, which uses the same port as https (443) and so is harder to block.
This is self correcting. The mod will see the inevitable shit storm and ban anything that looks remotely like it in the future. The filter bubble of amateur taxidermists will filter it out in the future.

"Statements like that need to be encountered for the first time in an environment where the problems with them can be analyzed thoughtfully and without vitriol or recriminations, because otherwise, when they are encountered, they create internal conflicts and push people into the arms of the opposition."

This will never happen in social media. Unless in some highly highly moderated forum setup for the purpose, which is its own filter bubble and in which expertise of the participants can be ascertained.

Any forum like that essentially excludes most of the general public.
No. I'm not sure there is anything Barnes and Noble could practically change that would gain them a significant amount of market share from Amazon. The network effects of Kindle, Audible (the unlimited variants of both), and Prime delivery would make it impossible for B&N to really compete in the way a normal American would think about it.

The term monopoly power is colloquial doesn't require a market to only contain a single company. It's enough for a single dominant player to have market-setting power in either a region, nationally, or globally.
> My impression is that PMing this is really hard. And then each of the other guys is going to have an opinion that this shouldn't be done because it's so rare, etc.

It's easier when you control all parts of the stack. No way they could have pulled that one off with NVidia who were "famous" for breaking with Apple years ago when Apple demanded to code the drivers themselves... for valid reasons when one looks at the quality of their Windows and Linux drivers. The Windows ones are helluvalot buggy and the Linux ones barely integrate with Linux because NVidia refuses to follow standards.
Co-ops aren't so much a fancy business model as they are a basic one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooperative

It's just that more often than not, participants in western economies don't start co-ops because the profit potential for the founders isn't remotely close to what it could be for starting a run of the mill corporation.
Seconded on the LG WebOS. Hated smart/dumb TVs (Toshiba, Samsung, Sony) until I stumbled onto LG's WebOS. Speedy, works as expected, has most of the streaming apps. I thought the MagicRemote mouse thingy is going to be a gimmick but it's suprisingly nice to use.

Oh, and the checkboxes to disable some of the spying are buried on an industry-standard level of assholeiness, so that's good.
Pandas is used in some top 10 banks for analytics. Its performance is abysmal at the scale used there. Nobody wants to invest resources in training analysts to write high performance code so here we are. I have never viewed SQL more highly after seeing the mess that analysts make when writing imperative code.
If you're sincere, you are definitely acting on incomplete information with regard to what America and Americans are actually like, and missing the point that it's individuals who need to have the freedom to speak, not corporations. If you're here with an agenda, well, whatever you're doing isn't making the world better.

A trailer? For a book? That's new. This strikes me as a scam. 'Unleash your inner potential.' 'Wake up every morning refreshed and ready to kick ass.' Yeah, right.

But who knows, maybe they just have a large marketing department at their publisher. Doubt the book is anything more than common sense, though.
All %fun% constructs are just simple functions that can be created by the user and can be used as infix operators. Base R has a few of those: %in%, %o%, %*%, %x%, %%, %/%.

magrittr created %>% which, when used in infix: x %>% f() calls the function on the right side with the argument on the left side f(x).

There are package that provide tons more. For example: https://github.com/moodymudskipper/inops . And you can easily create your own:

`%sum%` <- function(x, y) x + y

1 %sum% 2

Early high schools in the US had shop classes, too. It was still just a token effort at trade work but it was still something. Almost all of these classes have been cut due to budget.
Huh what makes you think that I think you are political because you are a "woman in tech"?

Women in tech is political when it comes along with the unfounded claim that there are so few women in tech because of sexism.

I didn't label you anything, I wasn't even aware of your username appearing in the comment thread. I only answered to comments, not to people.

You as a "woman in tech" could become political if you started claiming special rights or special insights or demand special treatment because of your status as woman in tech.
To define a new binary operator in R (which are just functions), it must be between % characters.

%>% does not mean anything in base R.
Well, afaik it isn't really a pipe but syntactic sugar. A pipe streams data from one output stream to an input stream. This rewrites the code as if the input were passed as an argument.
Yeah, because PHP8, NodeJS (abandoned by its creator), Ruby (DHH is off battling Apple these days) are all there is!

Back in the day we used to call wars over languages and architectures “rWars” We knew better than to build an upvote/downvote system because the BASIC and COBOL people outnumbered everyone by 100-to-1!
Defiantly one of the best proposals for enums in PHP so far. It handles many of the needed requirements, reuses classes as building block so you get a type, can have methods or case specific methods, can implement interfaces, can be mapped to a primitive value and solves the problem with strict equality beautifully.

One problem is that an enum can't be an index key of an array. Read why in this reddit thread between the authors of the RFC.

The hard part is getting people to organically organize according to principles, virtue, and ethics. Do that, and decentralization is a natural consequence because a principled, virtuous, and ethical people don't need centralized forms of power and control.
The stand makes a bit more sense when you consider this monitor for movie use. Reference monitors need to move from on-site racks for director use, to studio use for editing. The ability to easily detach it from a fixed stand and move it to a cart for on-site use is an important feature.

Overkill for developers though.
I made a simple SQL card game and launched it on Kickstarter. Not exactly passive while developing, but from now on it should be. Not bringing in too much, just a few K this year so far.
