To quote myself:

> Although the economy is a complex system and it's dangerous to try to over-simplify, my personal opinion is that there are two main and intertwined causes:

1) the cost to participate in the US court system.

2) the abuse of copyright, patent, trademark, and contract[1] law to divorce workers from their experience and treat employee knowledge as company property.

The time and money involved in both pursuing and defending court cases favors larger entities with armies of lawyers and large war chests. Intellectual "property" cases take especially vast amounts of resources because of the fuzziness involved. Meanwhile, treating workers as fungible producers of ideas that can be bought and sold both reduces the bargaining power of individual workers while empowering companies that can amass large portfolios of patents, etc. to use in litigation.

Not sure about reforms for the court system, but patent and copyright reform, combined with restrictions on unfair employment contracts, would go a long way to improving the situation.

There's a massive gulf between crime with a victim like shoplifting and general petty theft and crime without a victim, like jaywalking, that everyone seems to go willingly blind to on an ideological as-needed basis.

It is a complete computing system (meaning you can do actual useful work with it) that is deliberately designed to be simple enough that a single person can understand every bit of it--processor, compiler, operating system, and applications--in a reasonable amount of time.
I'll echo the advice of grinding as much leetcode as possible. As someone else mentioned, as a bonus, try talking and explaining (to yourself, or if possible someone else) while you solve it.

...that said, mock interviews or talking to yourself doesn't prepare you for the real thing as well as the actual real thing. The next best thing is to actually go out and interview at every possible opportunity. This can include companies you aren't really interested in.

Is this ethical? I'm not sure. I tell myself if a company can put together a compelling offer, I'm always open to it even if I initially may have no interest in them other than for the interview practice.

Of course, even this is not a fully realistic simulation. You naturally will be more relaxed when you're interviewing at a place that you don't really care about vs. when you're interviewing at a place you really want to join.

Also levels of difficulty varies from company to company too. You'll probably get a more difficult interview at say, a FAANG, vs. some generic Fortune500 non-tech company. That said, I've been thrown leetcode hards at no-name companies.

Why do you think the default should be that it's your right of way in the car?

Why should pedestrians keep out of your way and not cross your path? Why don't we instead say you should keep out of the pedestrians way and not cross their path?

Maybe we should reset the expectation that cars own the streets, and make them a guest there, deferring to human beings in the first instance.
>There are far more instances of jaywalking than police interactions, and yet pedestrian deaths are 6x higher than deaths from police.

"And yet" is entirely the wrong conjunction here; if there are more instances of jaywalking than police encounters, then it logically follows there would be more deaths.

In fact, I'd argue that there are far more than 6x as many instances of jaywalking than there are police encounters, which kind of undermines your whole point.
Its not a different issue entirely. Saying that is wrong and its harmful. Our "class system" is defined by the deliberately racist history from which it is derived. Communities of color are not disproportionately poor (and visa versa) by misfortune, random chance, or defect, but by several hundred years of cruel oppression and discrimination. Its factually and morally wrong to promote an idea that laws which predominantly target the poor are not also disproportionately targeting PoC, or that poverty in america and racism in america are "different issue(s) entirely".

also "constraints" on DM values can be misleading. When you say "a DM particle cannot be more clumpy than X" given an average density of DM particles in the universe, you are saying "we must LOOSEN a constraint on the types of things that DM can explain", because for that particular parameter, there is an inverse relationship between constraint tightness and explanatory power.

Quick check in NYC shows that there were 1.7 deaths / 100K for black folks and 1.8 for white folks between 2012 and 2014. Given the urban/suburban breakdown by race, I'd be inclined to limit the geography to not include, say... Wyoming. Comparing NYC is also valuable given the variance in enforcement of jaywalking along racial lines that we explicitly know about thanks to their open data policies.

Hughie is the protagonist. The viewer and nearly every other character relate to him and his actions. Butcher OTOH is a violent inconsiderate weirdo who is hated by everyone, including his parents. (He is barely tolerated by those he has dragooned onto his "team".) Butcher was convenient for getting the action started but after he transitioned from "mysterious stranger" to "surrogate father" to "everyone hates this asshole", his role would have been better filled by others on the team.

It would be a considerably more "experimental" program if a character like Butcher were the actual protagonist.

It's definitely more than a gimmick. I understand why someone with no experience developing with Smalltalk might thing it's one - developers are used to claims of life changing IDEs that fall short.

Unfortunately, I've never found anything with an IDE that touches what you get in Smalltalk. I've always wanted someone to create an environment for Ruby, Python, or JavaScript that would give us the best of both worlds, depending on what you needed at the time. I remember attempts in the early 2000s, but nothing really touched it.

The only other language with an environment like Smalltalk that I've seen is Self, which is a prototype OOP language derived from Smalltalk, but that's even less popular.
The employer tried to get out of paying its workers, which can work but only for a while. Nothing forced these worker to stay aboard except their hope to get paid eventually. It's fraud, that is all there is to it.

Speaking of actual modern day slavery, there's always some form of coercion, some threat of violence, some legal/immigration issues that keeps the worker from leaving. This just isn't the case here.

The Lidar and infrared and AI will help with the low light. They fill in colors instead of take the result of the lens and sensor physical limitations.

There are apps that do what the default cameras don’t do yet, and we’ll continue to see rapid optimizations on this front.

what you mentioned is not outside of the realm of what can be done. If there is a need, making an app that does it will give you a brief advantage.
Nicely expressed. Put that way, it becomes obvious the problem isn't that we have a class of unknowns gathered under the label "dark matter", its that the label comes to imply things unrelated to the real use.

I take the "faith in human ignorance" view that there are many things extant that we have no inkling of. Its easy to mistake quantified and classified ignorance for knowledge, especially when it is all we have.
Would you categorize the bullet cluster in the same manner?
I agree, I don't think my view is unusual or controversial, which is why it surprises me that the writers of the blog posts that get submitted to here or on r/programming rarely acknowledge both the technical and organizational aspects. Just yesterday there was the article "Back to the '70s with Serverless" which compared smalltalk and its fast feedback loops to the complexity of cloud and serverless computing and argued it was about good marketing.

So I will keep commenting that it isn't just about technical issues and it isn't just about organizational ones, and you must look at both to really understand what is going on.

But I probably did get a little too excited that a technical post acknowledged and made it an important point in their article.
Element AI sold for $230M, as founders saw value mostly wiped out: document
Lets say your company is valued at $100 and all stock is claimed for current employees. Now you want to raise money by selling 50% of your company to investors.

So you create $100 more and now they own 50% (at $200 valuation). This means the investors either over-paid (2x what they were worth!), or you were strongly under-valuing the stocks that existed before.

If you dilute, they get 50% at $50, and the existing stocks are now worth 50% their value. Because you literally sold half the company.

---

The first is pretty obviously ridiculous. Nobody would pay 2x the worth, that's the point of deciding on a value. If they paid 2x, it just means you didn't agree on the value.

But if they don't over-pay, it's the same as the second: prior to the sale, your company's value was actually $200 (you were just claiming otherwise), and after the sale your employees only have $100, i.e. half the company's value. Their stocks were still diluted.
There are still people who don't have such stores of food though. But sure, another example is a pedestrian with a gas can arriving at a gas station. The point is there are many things that are necessary for modern existence, yet there's a competitive market of not-completely-powerless actors keeping prices in check for the nearly-powerless ones. Healthcare is an outlier by being an extreme market failure, through both not enough regulation and too much regulation (that is to say, corruption).

(Although maybe with the rise of big surveillance and fine grained price discrimination we'll start to see these situations in other markets get exploited more)

As the recipient of a $25,000 bill for an emergency visit to an out-of-network hospital that I have been fighting for two years (still ongoing), this is such an overdue blessing.

FYI -- many individual states ban "balance billing" i.e. hospitals sending you the leftover bill that insurance didn't cover (btw -- hospitals can charge a special "out-of-network" rate, in my case 10x the average cost around the area for the services I received). Problem is, if you are on a "self-insured" plan (your card should say this, these are plans you'll get at university or when working for a large company), the state law can't do anything, and there has been no federal law banning this practice. It's absolutely inhumane.

> I wonder if this means “double jepoardy” is in play: once youtube gets this easily-dismissed lawsuit cleared away, no one can sue youtube again about state of DMCA takedowns on the site.

No, because:

(1) “Double jeopardy” applies to criminal charges only.

(2) “Double jeopardy” applies to charges for conduct that is part of the same transaction, not a similar pattern of conduct carried out at different times against different people, much less suits whose similarity is that they are merely in the same broad category (“has something to do with how DMCA takedown notices are handled”.)

As a general rule, you can’t lose the right to file a civil suit because of a lawsuit you didn’t participate in. (Class action might seem to be an exception, but class members are viewed as participants unless they opt out, so its technically not.)

Has been there been any detailed breakdown of how much more effective the median CEO in 2020 is over the median executive in 1970? I am certain they are doing things better, have more data, etc but what scale are we really looking at here?

Because, just thinking out loud here, the bulk of the workforce in the United States is more educated and has more hard skills than their predecessors did in 1970s. Firms demanded technology skills, for which they provided little or no training, and their workforce was able to acquire the necessary skills.. and yet the "upside" was nothing more than possibly being able to keep their job.

There is a noticeable anti-automobile crowd here on HN. Personally, anti-jaywalking laws just make sense and there doesn't need to be sinister motivations from the auto-industry to explain why we have them.
Founder effects don't explain why this new strain took over as the dominant strain in London.

Even if we suppose the chance of it being as bad as suggested is only 50%, we should panic now, rather than waiting until we have solid proof and risk having a public health disaster.

Personally I suspect the UK didn't panic in its announcement and that this situation had been under surveillance for some weeks.

Is it possible that "people of color" account for 90% of the total people who jaywalked in NYC in 2019? Unless all data and all variables in the argument are made available for inspection, it is difficult to derive any meaningful conclusions.
I think there was a very large knee-jerk reaction to the CentOS announcement, myself included. I immediately began looking into alternatives, completely discounting Stream as a viable production OS, a perception shared by many commentators around the web.

But then I actually tried out Stream, and thought deeper about it. I don’t really need to exactly match RHEL’s point releases. I don’t need 100% binary compatibility with RHEL. My installs don’t break between point releases or errata updates, why would a rolling release change that? I just need a rock-solid OS to run my applications on, and Stream seems to fill that need. Just ‘cause the update model was changed doesn’t mean the OS is unstable.

I agree with the authors claim that 95% of CentOS users will be perfectly happy with Stream. Of course, there is that remaining 5% gap, where I understand the frustration of those in that situation.

I already roll several other Red Hat upstream projects in production, including AWX (Ansible Tower) and oVirt (RHV). I’m sure RH would love for me to pay for support, but I don’t really need it. The upstreams serve me well enough.

The one thing I can’t get over though, is the decision to roll out this change in the middle of CentOS 8’s lifecycle, trimming out what, 8 years or so of support. That seriously stung. This decision should have been made a year or two ago, before CentOS 8 was released.
This site clearly doesn't want to, but you still have people like the GP and others here complaining. You can't have your cake and eat it too. If commenters here want sites to have the option to not deal with Europe, then they shouldn't also turn around and chide the sites for making that choice.

A shift in thinking toward cars not being kings of the road rightfully able to plow through any and all obstacles with impunity will make all road users safer. Removal of a tool police use to disproportionately stop and harass poor and/or non-white people will contribute to wiping out the absurd extant bias in policing.

This has nothing to do with advocating that pedestrians start stepping out in front of cars. Take a moment to understand the issue before deploying your straw man.

I would say that differently.

Given that non-cop/cop interactions are not risk-free, avoiding them is only sensible, as is not creating unnecessary reasons for interaction, like inventing "crimes" like this.

If you don't like thinking of cops as danger sources, then tell yourself it frees up cops for more important work.
I think you're overestimating the recognizability of voices (barring voices with very unusual qualities), especially without context, especially over the phone.
Oh please. These crimes have real consequences, both financially and in quality of life for the people who live in these areas. Almost everyone I know has had their car broken into. I know multiple people who have been assaulted. I personally have had to run from a homeless man with a knife. I’ve seen people grind up pills on the roof of a trash can and snort them next to a police officer.

We deserve a better quality of life than this. There is absolutely no reason to tolerate people behaving in this way in society. These are adult human beings with agency who should face consequences for their actions. The problem isn’t lack of investment or infra, the problem is incentivizing behavior that is destructive to a functioning society.
