Here in Germany we have somewhat similar cases, but where the accusation is way less damaging than the case of this article, in which a false positive would have the drastic result of being labeled a murderer.

The cases are related to new speeding cameras which work with laser, where the defendants are complaining that these new devices are black boxes, and that they demand access to the raw data which these devices process. The problem is that these devices discard the raw data after having processed it and come to a conclusion that the driver was or was not speeding.

The devices in question are Traffistar S350 from Jenoptik and PoliScan SM1 from Vitronic.

There were discussions about a required software update which retains all this data, but apparently the devices lack the storage capability to do so. The National Metrology Institute of Germany (Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB)) responded to this, that they would not re-certify these devices with updated software because from their point of view they work "as specified".
Yes. MC1R which people with red hair carry. It's a very strongly associated gene. Also "People with freckles and no red hair have an 85% chance of carrying the MC1R gene that is connected to red hair. People with no freckles and no red hair have an 18% chance of carrying the MC1R gene linked to red hair."

Not bad but as others have mentioned the data is way off in a lot of cases. I know thats not your fault but it's common across all of the google results for 'next season of x'.

The benefit you have, and I hope you stick to it, is theres no multiple paragraphs explaining the show before getting to the information that well, theres no idea when the next season is.

One suggestion, if there isn't a known set date (Example The Mandolorian, https://next-season-of.com/the-mandalorian/) don't show 'December 2021'. Also with that page, the top says 2022, but the next season shows 2021.

Quick edit:
I wish you the best in the SEO game. You're going up against a lot of outlets with a lot of money thrown at ranking at the top. I'll be rooting for you, anything to chip away at the spam pages that are nothing but 'what we know...'
> flashy or distinct brands are no longer a sign of trust

That part I would agree with. In the early 2000s tech companies in particular were allowed to be wacky, weird and attention-grabbing. Now they're trying to be under-stated, high-quality and serious as they become established.
> What if Sharon is selling baskets for $10, and I found a revolutionary way to sell them for $9

The comment you were originally replying to was regarding non-currency economies, so first of all I would assume "require less labour" or "more efficient use of materials".

> I wouldn't be able to since I'd be required to share my trade secret with Sharon.

If you want Patent protection you currently need to share the mechanics of how you achieved that. If you use it as a "trade secret" and someone independently figures a similar or identical way then you are out of luck.

> What incentive would I have to innovate?

Requiring less labour on your community and yourself, if both you and Sharon are more efficient then you both have more free time for other stuff, even leisure or study. Currently if you are an employee in a private company if you make something more efficient good luck because you are getting to do more work for the same pay. (and the company might decide not to hire more people or fire people depending on how much labour you saved them)

In the current political-economy where most people are employees they are desincentivized from working efficiently by the threat of losing their employment.

> In Bullshit Jobs, American anthropologist David Graeber posits that the productivity benefits of automation have not led to a 15-hour workweek, as predicted by economist John Maynard Keynes in 1930, but instead to "bullshit jobs": "a form of paid employment that is so completely pointless, unnecessary, or pernicious that even the employee cannot justify its existence even though, as part of the conditions of employment, the employee feels obliged to pretend that this is not the case."

It doesn't even have to be conscious. Implementing a meaningless test still provides a valid test as far as candidate compliance and desire to fit in are concerned.

Merit-driven applicant: This test is not backed by science, does not measure anything related to performance relevant to the job and is arbitrary. Oh, and did you check how do the developers of the test address the fundamental problem of lack of replicability and reproducibility in psychology?

Hiring (if they can actually articulate and self-reflect, a rare occurrence): So you think you're smarter than us?

Subservient applicant: I gave this test 110%, thank you for this opportunity! I look forward to learn more about how I can contribute to the continued success of [org name]!

Speaking to a mediocre manager with a very stable career, tt was a revelation for me to hear them say "smart people get frustrated quickly. I've learned through the years to select those that are agreeable". Value and value creation were not on that managers radar.
I think you're mixing up a few things.

Young democracies usually have a period in which both politicians and the people need to get used to a new way of doing things, and defining the new way of doing things. This can take a while, e.g. see the Napoleonic period and its aftermath. A nice feature about the French republic is the tradition of the reboot: they're at v5 of the Republic now, with fully revised constitutions and significantly changed shapes (parliamentary to presidential systems for instance), something many countries could learn from I think. A defacto dictatorial period is often one of the first phases of new democracies.

Secondly, a problem common to quite a few eastern European countries is an unclear separation of powers (trias politica) and even unclarity about the need for it among many voters. Such an instance could (and should) be able to overrule certain kinds of fundamental changes.

Some scholars describe democracies as inherent experiments, which I think is very fitting and something we need to emphasize more. Obviously trying to organize things in a cooperative, or not that cooperatively, is a ongoing affair. There is no way to guarantee anything, but the people's continued involvement. I'd hope they typically wouldn't need guns, but can use tools like constitutionals courts, and, of course the ballot box at various levels of government. Like you say, a more regionalist design can make more local autonomy possible, see Germanys states vs highly centralized French style of governing.
When I was a public defender I made my career by cross-examining expert witnesses. There are a dozen innocent people walking around free today because I challenged the expert despite going into the cross "with no evidence."

What you call abuse, I call due process.

(And your proposed solution is already part of the expert certification and questioning process in criminal trials, so it isn't a solution. Experts must testify that the equipment they used was calibrated/certified/etc based on the standards applicable to the field.)

Yes, it isn't very clear about whether the demotion was chosen or not. "I followed my dreams to be demoted to software developer" or "I followed my dream of being demoted to..." would be much clearer.
Many jurisdictions would have enough cases come through to justify employing someone trained to draw a blood sample.

Btw here (Sweden) the breathalyzer is only used to help decide whether someone gets picked up for a blood draw or not. Only a blood test can be used to convict someone.
I don't know if I'd call it clickbait. Whimsically worded, sure, but the author did literally go from being a Director of design to an associate software developer so it doesn't seem inaccurate to call it a demotion.
Nice write up. A small extra note for the community section, I've really appreciated Planet Lisp's (http://planet.lisp.org/) RSS feed. It aggregates a bunch of other feeds so you can more easily keep track of what's going on in the Lisp world.
It's probably legal in most of the US, but almost certainly runs afoul of the GDPR in the EU. Location data is personal data, and companies can't (in the EU and maybe CA) and shouldn't (everywhere) collect it without your consent. People should use crypto because they shouldn't trust the laws to work. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't have laws constraining personal data collection.

I think a lot of straight people would, however, feel a degree of repulsion towards the idea of kissing and having sex with someone of the their non preferred-sex. A consideration which, due to culturally norms, is probably pushed into the heads of gay people.

There are two meanings to "gene" here. What you describe as lego blocks are segments which code for a protein, which is one meaning.

The other is just any code which affects the phenotype, including promotors etc. The SNPs mentioned in TFA are just known fairly common single-point differences, but aren't necessarily in coding DNA. Of course these are still heritable, just like coding changes.
I think the chances that it is unsafe are zero. Someone in the UK would have noticed by now, they vaccinated quite a lot of people.

The interesting question that needs to be answered is: to what degree does it work, and for which groups? Of course it would be possible to just widely distribute the vaccine (since I consider it safe) and run the study to answer that question in parallel. In the worst case, you widely distributed an expensive placebo. Don't know if that is a good idea overall however.

A lot of things have changed since then. Most importantly: we have weather satellites and internet. Even hobby sailors can now get precise weather information for all oceans of the world to plan their routes. Just check windy.com. A 100 years ago, there was no weather information available beyond what you saw when you looked out of the window and the current air pressure. You had to detect weather changes by the change of the air pressure. This makes a huge difference in planning your voyages.

On top of that, a modern wing sail is much more efficient than the sails used in the old cargo ships and of course, the modern ship comes with an engine. Bad or no wind will cause more engine use, but not the ship getting stuck in one place.

Out of topic, but as somebody who interested in lisp generally, I have a question, from which dialect would you suggest to start? I am a little bit lost. I am considering clojure, racket and common lisp. I am reading at the moment sicp book and do exercises in `racket sicp package` which is again another dialect. After that want to start with something modern. What was you way to lisp?

Opposite to this project, I’m interested in obtaining CSI from cheap devices. But many vendors don’t expose this info (classically most papers use a very specific intel nic). Is there a cheap/popular nic, say usb based that can work with a raspberry pi, that exposes it reliably?
Most people can do $thing. You usually pay people to do it well.
First, I still find it very jarring to see "LISP" written that way when referring to Common Lisp, and most other languages in the Lisp family, as "Lisp" has been the common way of writing it for a very long time. That styling, now, is mostly found in older texts on the subject or when talking about LISP and LISP 1.5 and a few other specific implementations.

Second, Common Lisp is a general purpose, multiparadigm language. There's a lot to like about it. If you want to implement conventional procedural algorithms, the language is well-suited to writing in that style. If you want to adopt a more functional and recursive (versus iterative) style, it is similarly well-suited (though somewhat implementation dependent as CL, unlike Scheme, does not mandate tail call elimination, which can bite you in performance). If you want to write in an OO-style, it has a way to do that (though it is different than the OO-styles many people are familiar with so takes some time to learn). And if you like writing DSLs (but don't want to implement a full parser or an interpreter but would rather have something compiled for better performance), it's very well-suited for it.

Third, while it was commonly used for symbolic AI, it is not restricted to that domain. But, if that's what you want to use it for, you should look into the book Paradigms of AI Programming by Norvig (now available for free online) which is pretty much just about implementing now classic symbolic AI programs in CL.
[US centric] Non-profits usually hire consultants for bespoke software. It is far less common for a non-profit to have in-house developers. It makes more sense because software development is not central to most non-profit organization's mission and when bespoke software is wanted it is usually preferrable to earmark funds on a project basis. Fundraising is simpler: "we need $ for X." Projects also silo legal considerations: "a contract for X in exchange for $." Finally, the track record of a consulting firm is more likely to align with the needs of a project than a new hire.

There's also business relations. A consultant often has existing relationships with other non-profits and consulting staff often have relationships with non-profit leadership.

I think returning http status code 429 (=too many requests) or 5xx should work. Google claims to respect it. And it's not like they have choice really: the server is refusing to provide the content. Additionally, serving such an error should be as cheap or cheaper than a cache hit.
I'm not saying the writer's workplace has a meeting problem, but there's a thing that happens at orgs that do have a meeting problem. It becomes normal to double book people, because you can never find a timeslot where someone doesn't have a meeting.

It can also become known that you book focus time, and so people just ignore that you are busy, and book you in. It's also possible that once you are considered fairly respected that people trust you to decide what meetings you will attend.

IMO, Anyone with a calendar like the one in the article should start with a conversation with leaders at the company. This is massively bad for productivity if you doing anything remotely knowledge work related.

Booking focus blocks is a bit of a last resort. The problem isn't the calendar, it's the people and processes in the workplace.

I chose Silicon Graphics (08:00:69) and it's fascinating to see that anyone else did, for any reason. For reference, my ISP hands out 2-8 IPv4 addresses, expiry indefinite (unless I power down), to clients connected to the cable modem. So my stack looks like

[Motorola Surfboard]->[4p 1GbE Switch]->[Linksys E3000 (08:00:69::)]

Depending on the mood of the ISP, I can have several other networks running from the 4-port switch. If I spoof those MACs repeatedly, I can get an arbitrary (within range) block of public IPs, and there's some seriously weird behavior in allocating those IPs (change my MAC 48 times in a row, end up on the same IP I had just lost from a power outage?)

To me, the entire point of Lisp, the thing that sets it apart from other languages, is unhygeinic macros. Since that is my view, I can only recommend Common Lisp. CL is the opposite of modern, but just because something is modern doesn't make it good, nor does old make bad.

There's a difference between a disagreement, name-calling, and cancel-culture. This has crossed at least into name calling. From the article:

I graduated from Hatboro-Horsham in 2011.

The author here was in my grade, and we hung out a few times. I've read this before, but still it amazes me how much of a difference the Hatboro side of town is from the Horsham side.

I grew up in a decent neighborhood, but still got into petty trouble. Hearing the stories from those in Hatboro makes it seem like a such a different world, despite being only a few miles away.

Feel free to ask questions, although my experience differs from the authors.
I think cryptocurrencies definitely do have stronger network and memetic effects than gold. I agree with you that something like a bitcoin standard would probably be a disaster.

However, I think of bitcoin as more of an inflationary hedge (even if we don't actually get inflation) or check on central bank monetary policy. So it's ultimately just an alternative asset. It also has some pretty amazing potential as a global settlement network but more so when it's volatility goes down.
