I hate to Godwin this thread already, but, you know, Hitler did positive things, too. For neither corporations nor Hitler do these things make up for literal crimes against humanity they have committed.

Edit: Well, since people are obviously not even reading the link, I'm going to quote the bullet points from the first answer in nearly their entirety:

> Nazi regime was the first to introduce animal rights and limited hunting seasons. Hitler had outlawed animal testing (who needs animals when you got thousands of Untermenschen).

> Nazis had the first public anti smoking campaign at a time when smoking was not linked to cancer.

> Hitler had authorized extensive research on cancer and various venereal diseases and abundance of medicine for public.

> Nazi labour laws were best in contemporary world. Reduced work hours, periodic breaks, paid holidays and sponsored trips to Italy as perks.

> Promoted sports culture among youth which led to Germany being a sports power house.

> Hosted the 1936 Berlin Olympics.

> Hitler had announced loans of 1000 Reichsmark (10 month salary in 1939) for married couples at minimal interest and waivers for birth of first child.

> Volkswagen - people's car. Personalized Cars for average germans was laid out in 1937. Volkswagen is an extremely popular brand now.

> German Autobahn(super highways) was introduced in Hitler's era.

> Hitler had forbade German army from using mustard gas or any sort of chemical weapons on enemy forces because of the trauma he suffered in WW1 from mustard gas. As a result, deadly gas warfare of WW 1 was never seen in WW 2.

> Nazis were pioneers in rocket science. America's space programs were guided and led by former Nazi scientists like Werner von Braun and Arthur Rudolph.
> If you just so happen to kill someone without intending to, it could be considered vehicular manslaughter.

There's an additional constraint of acting negligently. If you're going 45 on a road where the speed limit is fifty and someone sprints out in front of your car, you won't be convicted of vehicular manslaughter (assuming obviously that you didn't have time to react).
Gold didn’t work! As I stated in another comment, gold is way down compared to its historical high in the 80’s (when adjusted for inflation).

I’m kind of interested about what happens if you throw random opcodes at processors now!
Yeah, I think that's the phrase I'm looking for, "assault with a deadly weapon". Happens a lot when marriages break up, from what the person who introduced me to the term described, divorcées-to-be chasing their husbands down in their cars.

We talk so much in America about gun control, why not also car control?
I like them because if you ride through the point of the arrow you get a speed boost.
So that's what they are! I have come across these markings a couple of times while driving, and found them quite distracting, as I had no idea what information they were intended to convey, and no idea how I was supposed to respond to them. Both the idea that more information always improves safety, and that the meaning of symbols is always obvious, seem naive.

I am all for measures that improve cyclists' safety, but presenting drivers with puzzles does not seem to be a good way to go about it.

While there’s a valid point to be made about expecting cyclists to behave, one also needs to consider that the vast majority of infrastructure in the US is for cars. Lights often don’t respond for cyclists, for example. If you were driving your car and you needed to get out of your car and walk over a nearby light standard and then get back in your car whenever you wanted to use a lighted intersection, how long would you go on before concluding that this was a waste of your time and start crossing when there is a large enough gap in traffic instead?

I've seen a number of books, mostly children's books from scholastic, with different editions (different art, copyright, etc) that have the same ISBN number. I've since removed most duplicate books from my collection, but I had found a bunch when I last sorted my books; Maniac Magee is the only one I can remember by title. More annoying was the book with a CD attached to the front, that caused the finish to peel off when the CD was removed (the CD contained a non-working installer for a screensaver that, when extracted using other tools, also didn't work).
This isn’t correct in a wide variety of circumstances. The top end of schools have networking opportunities that are in a league of its own, but school based networking/affiliation remains important regionally, especially for large state universities. I’ve definitely known instances where the deciding factor for someone in a hiring situation was they went to the same university as the boss (decades apart), and the regional alumni networks of some of these universities can be influential.

Now it’s true the further down the prestige chain you go the less it matters, but saying that networking via meetups Birmingham is equivalent to the network you’d get via having gone to U. Alabama or Auburn seems unlikely.
That will mostly create an incentive to not cycle, which is the last thing we need.
Crappy bike infrastructure (e.g. sharrows, bike lanes that end and dump cyclists onto bad/dangerous roads) is a negative for everyone: cyclists, drivers, bike advocates,... better to save the money and build more limited but higher quality infrastructure.

Air Base. I just want to say I find it somewhat strange—unsettling even—that I hear about this for the first time from an article I happened to find on HN, but not the German national alert app, local news or even social media.
The good thing about German is that it's not hard to get to B1 level, however things start getting harder after that. I, for one, am stick on the B2/C1 plateau for a long time, and lots of expats struggle with it.

I would love to see how you tackled the Adjektivdeklinations issue in German. For me that has been an achilles' heel, and there's simply no easy way around it.
I wish prices were directly proportional to value of currency. But it isn't.

In the oil price example, drop in value of USD could cause prices of oil to increase (by how much? We don't know. There are entire commodities industries who hire quants to figure this out every day).

Assuming price of oil increases by 10%, price of chicken feed would increase by a%, causing an increase in price of chicken by b%, causing an increase in price of shipping chicken from farm to factory by 10%+a%+b%, the factory whose workers need higher wages now (by a total of c%) because of higher cost of living, factory will now have to sell their chicken for 10%+a%+b%+c% to a shipper who will need to pay another 10% who will pass this cost on to McDonalds who will have to pay 10+a+b+c+10 to get a chicken patty.

The dollar menu suddenly become a $5 menu.

As contrived as this example may sound, this is the reality in many "emerging" markets and smaller developed markets. We are so oblivious to real inflation and price fluctuations simply because we are used to getting stuff for cheap from whereever it is available because we can import any time. No shortages for any industry or any consumers here.

While I agree that having healthy domestic manufacturing is good, we need to be careful what we wish for because losing the reserve currency status is the last option of them all. It's truly devastating and you only need ask United Kingdom and how they lived for decades with rationing in order to pay debts and earn foreign reserves.
That lone university is exactly intended to be the only one. No reason to compete if there's no economic reason to compete. They are qualitative, reasonably priced and tend to have good reviews.

Sadly the Fernuni is in one way stuck in the past: for many (all?) courses there are mandatory presence seminars. You can do the exams at many places in Germany (e.g. Volkshochschulen) and at all embassies and Goethe institutes abroad, but for the seminars you have to still go in person it seems. Else I would long have done a Fernuni degree.

I completely agree. It's sad and disappointing to see this being labelled as Pfizer vaccine when it's actually the BioNTech vaccine. But I guess that's what you get when one company has a massive marketing department and the other doesn't.

Pfizer isn't even the only company distributing it, Fosun does the distribution is China...

The idea is good but the execution leaves much to be desired: I entered two political books on economics and the climate and got a list of cookbooks and a few political books that agreed with the original two books.
That's not 'atheist' - that's 'deeply cynical' and obviously completely misunderstanding religion.

For example, Catholic, Protestant an Jewish leadership of any city, given those terms, would have little problem finding a project to spend that money on. Either one of numerous charities or here [1] to start.

For purposes of the current discussion, it doesn't much matter. We see corporate abuse happening all the time, every day. If I had to speculate it's that corporate executives have very strong incentives to do everything to make or save a buck, up to and including the things I've mentioned and more.

The things I mentioned previously did not involve any lapse of judgement at all. Saying that is just being an apologist. I'm not saying you're suggesting lapses of judgement are responsible for these things, merely that actually suggesting so would make one an apologist. They are all done with eyes open, focusing on the dollar signs at the end of the road, public interest be damned.
I ask for sources when I see bold statements and have already done my own research that didn't turn up much results (such as in this case) so I can learn from it and not spread misinformation.

I'm a cyclist who in July was hit by a car on a sharrow lane when it made a right turn into me. Since they aren't always avoidable in brooklyn, I imagine my solution will be to just bike in the middle of the road (when I can bike again)
This is my perspective, I exclusively bike to get around. We can play out the premise described by the OP, and it just doesn't add up.

If some schmuck with California's minimum $15,000 per person injury insurance disables you, what would you do? Sue them for their additional median $97,300 net worth? Which might be less than $10,000 liquidated? That is you'd expect to get, somewhere between $25,000 and $112,300, for your lifetime injury. Perfect enforcement with 100% liability legal system would get you $25,000-$112,300 in my estimate, for the rest of your life. If you're permanently disabled, it's peanuts.

It's a shitty outcome. The problem is in part, clearly, that people are really poor.

And then suppose it's a totally recoverable injury. Out of $112,300 you recover $25,000, realistically, and the driver is bankrupted. You could put a whole family on the street. It's not Europe, they will go on the street! Is that justice? They're all completely broke dude. They have nothing besides their car.

People are living paycheck to paycheck, and you're comparing European countries where neither disability nor bankruptcy condemns you to a life of poverty. 20% of Americans claim some disability. 20% of Americans have zero or negative net worth, which is 4x the EU + UK's 5%. You have a 1 in 5 chance of getting hit by someone in their car, and recovering a maximum of $15,000, or $0 if they're uninsured.

The simplest answer is that only people who are rich enough to pay the remedies of death by vehicle accidents should drive. That can be as simple as either requiring self-insurance (i.e., you must have a net worth more comparable to death settlements, or $500k-1m), or at least an insurance that covers that kind of injury (which poor would not be able to afford). I don't think that sounds like justice either, think how disruptive it would be if you had to be that rich to drive? It would certainly impact rich people too, because they'd be underwriting their nannies, cooks and, checking my notes, teachers, firemen, nurses, etc. to get to work.

It's pretty crazy too, the degree of wrong in the comments to this. At least bring some facts to this discussion. People are just trying to survive, of course they are going to go with the cheapest possible lowest coverage insurance. On top of that, "about 15% of California drivers have no insurance, according to the Insurance Research Council." (1) Like what do you think those people with negative net worth (20% of Americans) are doing? Buying $2,000/yr auto insurance policies? It boggles the mind.

I wasn't aware of anyone saying it was dead, but the narrative has shifted over time from "work on whatever you want one day a week" to "your team might let you spend up to one day a week working on something of your choosing if it's in the interest of the company". I'm not at Google, and never have been, but it's almost certainly the case that the narrative has changed - whether or not there was ever a change in policy.

Fables by Aeson are better translated typically - sentences flow better. They also don't pretend to create deep puzzle about humanity while being shallow. They are what they are, simple stories.

That being said, I did not particularly enjoyed them. But again, they come across as more honest.

No it is not. Really really it is not if the puzzle is supposed to tell something about you or humans. It could have been interesting if she had actual complex personality and actual relationships. But she does not.

As others have pointed out, Pfizer got this right entirely on its own.

It's telling that the top-voted comment happens to be one that bends over backward to somehow turn this into an argument on "political correctness".

FWIW, the Moderna vaccine was the first to apply for approval, and is expected to be approved "within a week" (https://www.businessinsider.com/moderna-vaccine-slaoui-likel...). A one-week difference on a 9-months science project doesn't quite sound significant enough for any conclusions as to the effect of taking government funding, let alone individual events connected with that funding.

In some cases, even the police do not know what sharrows indicate, as demonstrated in this unfortunate killing:

If that happened, according to the SWITRS data you were most likely within an intersection. So yes, not within a bike lane.
I respectfully disagree with the premise of your article. The entire crypto industry depends on Bitcoin, not Tether. There are plenty of stablecoins to take tether’s place if it fails and I personally think if it went away the entire industry would be better off.
"Also, even if they can service the debt that doesn't change the fact they've made a bad investment of several hundred million dollars." -- Um, you're going to have to explain your opinion here, because it sounds like you believe their returns are not indicative of a good investment.

I don't know much about Python's C API, but this is the line in the OpenCV Python bindings that drops the GIL:
https://github.com/opencv/opencv/blob/4.5.0/modules/python/s...

(see https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/init.html#releasing-the-gil-... in the Python C API manual).

That's only called from the ERRWRAP2 macro here:
https://github.com/opencv/opencv/blob/4.5.0/modules/python/s...

That macro, in turn, is called from gen_template_func_body in gen2.py:
https://github.com/opencv/opencv/blob/4.5.0/modules/python/s...

And that seems to be a code generator that is generating the bindings for all the OpenCV functions:

There never was any real 20% time. It was, as others are saying, 120% time, at least if you care about actually moving upward on the career ladder.

Paradoxically, this makes it a good policy _for Google_: if you're an idiot, you'll put in 120% effort and Google gets more work per dollar from you (and gets to deny promo because you "spent too much time on your 20% project", as well), if you're not an idiot, you will work 8 hours a day, but then spending 20% of time on things unrelated to your next promo completely dooms your chances of getting it. Some people used to take advantage of this, truth be told you're paid pretty well even at the senior level, and Google expects most people stay at that level indefinitely. Although then there's the question of why one wouldn't just take it easy at work and spend their spare time on hobbies instead that Google won't own the output of.

OTOH some people are taken in by the Google mythos, and they think spending 20% of their time on semi-random shit is _conducive_ to their career advancement. You get disabused of that notion after applying for a promo even once, which is when any experiments with 20% usually cease.

Exceptions are few and far between. To establish this for yourself, try to find if people around you promoted to Staff and above have any real 20% projects that are actually 20% projects, that is, that take substantial time. They don't.
