"This one choice by the maps team likely cost Google significantly in the medium to long term"

Reminiscent of the Google Reader thing. Google Reader was used by, in global terms, a tiny number of people. But today those same people get to make purchasing decisions at a large array of well funded companies, and they're still bitter about Reader shutting down.
Of course! Linux is free to anyone, even Steve Ballmer if he has a change of heart. My comment was very much intended as tongue-in-cheek.
Millennials sure didn't invent the Hollywood Blacklist in the 1940's. Cancel Culture has been a thing for a long time.
_always_ finding fault with the one who commits the crime is as pointless as finding fault with a hurricane for destroying your property, or the sea for drowning you without an oxygen tank.

In the case of murder, sure. But I'm with you. But bad actors (in the form of petty theft, exploitation, confidence tricks, etc) are a fact of life. Failing to account for them, just as failing to account for hurricanes if you live in hurricane alley, is completely on you. You can reduce that down to a blanket "but you're just victim shaming!" if you'd like, but it doesn't make it any less true.
It’s all diet. I visited Nashville a couple of years ago and everything on the menu was fried or just terrible for you.

Most of weight is diet. Exercise helps a tiny amount but is more for your cardiovascular health and strength. Running for an hour burns far fewer calories than half of a muffin.
>How do you think that works if zero tolerance policies punish the aggressor and victim equally, essentially preventing the victim from defending themself?

Sorry, I don't really understand your point. eeZah7Ux seemed to me to be saying that the victim should run and report it to the school. I don't see how a zero tolerance policy would punish the victim in that case.

> Yes, everyone realizes this already, and nobody who is in that position is going to be mislead into thinking they are obese.

No, but someone who works out the numbers and realizes that the BMI doesn't match them well, or their circumstances well, realizes it calls the study and what it represents into question. Using controversial metrics because they are easily available is counter-productive in the long run, because once people realize you were misrepresenting your credibility is lost. At best it's lazy.

Right now I'm obese. In high school according to the BMI I was almost half-way through overweight edging towards obese, and that was with very little fat, a very active lifestyle, and a visible six-pack. How do I consider studies that make claims about percentages of people that fit into those categories? As extremely ambiguous in what they are actually indicating.

Do Americans have a problem with weight? I think so. Does using false numbers to overestimate the problem help? I don't think so, especially when people realize the metrics leave a lot to be desired.
Yeah, that's true, but remember the context of this discussion is how Apple products feel "premium", and there aren't very many (if any) Android products that feel like solid, premium products. Like, we're talking about the difference between a solid, dependable, easily maintainable Honda Civic versus a luxury, polished Tesla.
> Film was scary too at one point.

And there have been many film-inspired murders. the mass shooting inspired by the Dark Night. John Hinckley’s assassination attempt on Reagan ( inspired by Taxi Driver ).

John Lennon’s murder was inspired by The Catcher in the Rye!

Here’s a link to some:

And remember, not all such incidents are famous. So doubtless there are more.

There are sick people in the world who are indeed influenced by all sorts of media.

this was the key idea behind A Clockwork Orange.

Whether such media influences “healthy” people is another question.
And it was that victim's choice to try to defend themself in the way that they did. It may have been better to choice a different option for that scenario. What we are talking about are zero tolerance policies that remove that choice by imposing unjust penalties for self defense. Just because it isn't work for one person doesn't mean we should remove that choice from everyone.

I use the word choice here, but the right to defend oneself is really a natural right.
Fairly standard for the type of quote the bbc likes from academics unfortunately.
Yeah, but can you really blame us? As incredible as this is from a technical perspective, it rings immediate alarm bells about the future of war. These have speed and agility and can reasonably go anywhere a person could go. And YouTube entertainment aside, what really is the use case of athletic robots outside of warfare? It's not much of a leap to attach a gun and connect to a remote human operator. Now you can wage both air wars and ground wars without domestic political consequences.
BMI is generally fine as a statistical tool. Obviously if you're looking at a whole country of olympic athletes it'll break down a bit, but in practice that sort of extreme edge case doesn't exist on a national level.

For personal use, it can be an indicator, but only that.
Ask HN: Which emails do you find most difficult to write?
As a side project, I am starting a webpage that will provide pre-written email templates for a small $ amount. Which emails do you have difficulty writing, and would really appreciate having access to a mostly-written example?
I agree. As brilliant as Turing was, the Turing Test has always struck me as the kind of thing a bunch of geeks thought of while quaffing beers at a pub.
Ah, so now when someone suggests "Can't we just drone this guy?" I can at least look forward to a bunch of robots performing the (admittedly great) synchronized dance scene from Michael C. Hall's Gamer before executing me.

I suppose it isn't a bad way to go.
There's some social acceptance definitely recently. But that doesn't avoid the fact some things just scale with size/weight. Like the wear on joints or the amount of blood you need to pump. But the movement I've seen was more about acceptance than offsetting those issues.
There are now 4 large companies that design both CPUs and GPUs. Intel, AMD, nVidia (owns ARM) and Apple.

As the RISC-V thing was getting going a few years ago I thought the commoditization of CPUs would make GPUs the next interesting IP. It seems the next thing is AI acceleration with Apple and nVidia ahead AFAICT.

Meanwhile RISC-V V is nearing completion and decent chips are starting to become available.

I dont see anything but fierce competition for Intel for the next 5 years or more.
> you are also limited to having at most one service of each kind per NATted network

That's not entirely true. It's possible to assign source port/address combos that route to different hosts.

For example, I can say that:

* 1.1.1.1:80 routes to 192.168.1.2:80,

* 8.8.8.0/24:80 routes to 192.168.1.3:80, and

* everything else on port 80 routes to 192.168.1.4:8080

It's possible to get even more convoluted, though not recommended.
I'm not claiming it will be linear or will not be linear. I'm saying it's a bad idea to assume either when trying to predict the future.
AFAIK, Waymo pays far less attention to road markings than Tesla. Tesla FSD drives like a human, looking through the cameras and trying to figure out where the car is supposed to go in the lane. Waymo relies heavily on super precise mapping to determine where the road is. In theory Waymo should be able to drive correctly with no road markings at all.

The reliance on maps means Waymo can drive in Wayless places, but more reliably in those places.
Apple allows App for finding big parties, marketed against Covid lockdowns
Control Access to your on-prem services with Cloud IAP and inlets PRO
I think an IaaS-only cloud is a losing proposition. Customers want a variety of services at different levels on the same account. There may be room for innovation in federation/reselling higher-layer services but I'm not sure.

Also, Intel-only would be limited compared to other clouds offering Intel/AMD/ARM.

It's more likely that Intel will increase market development funding to the existing cloud providers as their market share declines.
The problem is that we don't really know what dietary guidelines should be. Whether industry lobbying is involved or not doesn't really change that nutrition isn't something we've figured out. Going by "gut feel" will probably provide similar or better results.
Check judge2020's reply to bmcahren - you have the same software running, the FSD beta just uses more features from it.
Perhaps, but if they can't get an orders of magnitude simpler adaptive cruise control right (not just right, but perfect), it doesn't lend much confidence that they'll get FSD right any time soon.

The protestations to the contrary here reek of defensive fanboy/apologist behavior.
I didn't say that. I said that framing it that way and not providing actual points that can be discussed on their merits shuts down discussion. Someone who argues against inclusive language is just wrapped up in their invisible privilege and just wants to perpetuate the status quo and avoid their own discomfort, right?

Let's apply the principle of charity and suppose that the signatories of the letter are earnest and acting in good faith. That doesn't mean that anything that follows from those good intentions is itself good. Real harm has been done to good people in the pursuit of those good intentions; see the StackExchange/Monica Cellio drama for an egregious example.

Even assuming good execution, productive discussion requires looking at the putative harm being done by the status quo, the benefit that would come from the change, and the cost (reputational and otherwise). Hardly ever see that.
I find it so goofy that people never bother to save a local backup of work they spent hours and hours curating.

The guidelines, as linked by chlodwig[0] to the report[1], clearly state that if you don't drink you should avoid it and that if you do drink that you likely over consume and should limit yourself. This is right before citing increased risk of death associated with consumption. The implication that we should avoid alcohol seems rather clear, contrary to the headline. Even in the article, the subtext undermines the headline. It is accurate in that it doesn't explicitly tell us to stop but fairly meaninglessly so.

I wonder if anyone actually thinks everyone would stop if these guidelines told us to, especially given our ongoing lack of compliance.

The argument would be: the car saw something you didn't.

I'm not saying that's what happened, just that it could have happened and therefore would be an explanation.
I guess, but if they needed a ruse to delay someone at immigration it'd be much simpler to just say that the computer was slow or something. No playacting required.
It's not an on/off switch; various parts from Servo have been integrated in Gecko, but it's not like it's "replaced".

It's impressive, because it's as if in America, we've figured out how to design a system that gets 73% of us to agree to do whatever we are doing to be overweight. That's really something when you think of it in terms of a population that is otherwise divided and polarized.
>It might make you feel nice, but it is very destructive and unhelpful in the long run.

This is the decline of the West in a nutshell.

Expect the obese to become a legally protected class and have our governments actively importing obese foreigners soon. I'm sure there's already some kind of quota giving them preferential employment opportunities.
I was surprised at how many "dating apps" there are that are simply focused on showing people pictures and expecting that simply seeing a picture of someone is going to be a strong enough signal to filter out who is and isn't a viable candidate for dating. It's a tired argument to say it's superficial and shallow, but there are tons of people still doing dating apps like Tinder, Hinge, Bumble, etc. If you think about it more, I think this is a statement on just how much demand is out there [to meet new prospects] to put up with such a miserable experience.

When I tried using these apps, I found myself trying to reverse engineer the algorithm to figure out exactly how it was ranking me and how to optimize my match rates. Most of it comes down to picture quality and your looks in those pictures. I learned this by running my own A-B tests using different pictures, but unfortunately the apps don't really give any stats on which pictures on your profile are and are not performing. This gave me an idea to create an app to do just this. I called it Cupid's Critics, and you could upload candidate pictures and get people of a certain demographic to vote on them and collect statistics before pushing them live.

What I realized is that this is a band-aid to a broken system. I think a new system is needed entirely, which is why I am now trying to figure out how to make group dinner party dating scale.

Full Gove quote: "I think the people in this country have had enough of experts with organisations from acronyms saying that they know what is best and getting it consistently wrong."

We should be keeping track of predictions from those who want to be called experts, and retrospectively grading them/enumerating their successes and failures.
Assuming the healthcare issues resulting from being overweight result in a sudden death.

Considering they result in chronic conditions such as diabetes and hypertension and require things like heart bypass surgeries, I doubt it.
Seems unknowable still since Waymo and Cruise are now both deploying fully autonomous vehicles ahead of most peoples' expectations. If graphed, I'd imagine this implies a non-linear curve given these expectations were grounded in linearity imo. So it's under-determined basically.
If you are giving proper following distance, it shouldn't be needed. Most people follow way too close, doubly so in snowy conditions.
I am 41 and I can still hear tones out to about 17khz. Spent a lot of time in rock shows in my 20’s too. If I knew what I had done right I’d put it in a bottle and sell it. Probably time will catch up to me too in a few years.

> Before you finger wag about that, consider the American treatment of South American migrants that has come into the spotlight in the last 4 years.

South American migrants are treat fine, just not those who break in illegally (we can agree to differ if that's fair or not). I'm sorry but this is just not comparable to a possible genocide of the Uyghurs.

> running for an hour burns far fewer calories than in half a muffin

As a guy who runs pretty hard and weighs over 200 lbs, I burn nearly 1000 calories in an hour of running (~11km distance). I've tried a few different models to estimate this and they all more or less agree.

A lightweight person jogging at low intensity for an hour, maybe.
>There is little deterrence to would-be attackers, especially state-sponsored attackers

At least with state-sonsored attacks there is theoretically the option of striking back, although speaking as a German citizen, we've sadly neglected both our defensive and offensive capacities and the national infrastructure is simply not up to the task.

You have a reading comprehension problem. Saying "what you just said does not confer evidence to your claim" (which is what I said) is not the same thing as saying "I am 100% certain of the counterclaim." Responses like this one are why discourse on the Internet has fallen so far. The analogy to Q lands you squarely in the "lol fag" tier of responses.
I believe any company with the word 'dynamics' in the name wants to sell military equipment. So maybe for crowd control armed humanized robots work better (psychologically) than tank shaped.
I love how there were people in the upper floor just walking by without even looking. "Oh, the robots are dancing again."

In between the advances in "holographic" displays (not quite as sci-fi as we would want, but they are progressing), commercial space flight, cybernetic prosthetics, CRISPR and this... we are living in the future. It's amazing.

It makes me a little sad more people are not aware of the ridiculously cool technical advancements going on lately. Many of my relatives and friends in my home country haven't even heard about any of these. They're not mentioned in the news or magazines whatsoever. Granted, they probably don't have any use for this information for their daily lives... but I do believe learning about this keeps alive my sense of childlike wonder, and it's sad to know others are missing out.
This isn't surprising. We're conditioned to eat great tasting food and lots of it. Most American cities have a car-oriented culture, along with sedentary lifestyles; therefore, not much walking or NEAT (Non-exercise activity thermogenesis). It seems over the years, Americans are burning less calories, but consuming more.

I usually cook at home now, thanks to the Pandemic. Looking at all the recipes I found online, I realized how much high-calorie ingredients you have to add to make the food taste delicious. I try to limit those ingredient or use lower-calorie substitutes, but it is challenging. I can't imagine how much fats and sugars restaurants put in their foods to make it tasty for the general population.

Also, food portions have gotten bigger. We're used to eating more. Having a great tasting food filled with sugar or fats is not bad by itself, but eating a small portion of it won't be satisfying or satiating enough for most people.

There's a Youtube home cook named Ethan Chlebowski who sometimes does low-calorie versions of certain foods. I think more people need to do that--give great recipes that can taste almost as good as the high-calorie versions.
Wikipedia gives a pretty good summary of how one arrives at that conclusion. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/July_12,_2007,_Baghdad_airstri... --- the short form is that the laws around war crimes give broad leeway to soldiers in the field interpreting a situation on the ground, and from the point of view of the gunship, they may have believed they were firing on attackers attempting to reach RPGs in the vehicle. This is one of the tragedies of modern insurgency warfare... Since nobody's in uniform, how can one be sure that the person in civilian clothing crawling through the operation is trying to escape or going for a concealed weapon?

I'm personally inclined to agree with Mark Taylor that "...what this video shows is really a case that challenges whether the laws of war are strict enough."

Within the US, there is a similar broad cultural argument ongoing on whether laws protecting police officers err too far on the side of assuming the cops' in-the-field interpretation of what happened should guide how the law understands what happened.

There will always be unhinged people in the world, with a tendency to violence. Video games or not, these people will kill and harm others. It's a dark truth.
