Curious if what you're seeing for data speeds matches what they say on their FAQ page. Your latency is just past what they are promising, which I suppose is not terrible.

I think a lot of people here disagree with you, but you aren't wrong. This is a fact a lot of people forget when they jump to the defense of criminals.

It's also possible to believe that revenge against a criminal isn't positive for anyone on its own. There should be consequences to crime, especially egregious ones like murder, but that doesn't mean that the victims are better off and it doesn't mean we should sadistically torture people who almost always have wiring issues that made them prone to committing terrible acts. It's essentially saying that we believe that criminals are hopeless for reform, which can be true, but often times it's not true.
Reading through the GFiber TOS it's not clear that you must use a Google account - they refer often to "the email address used to setup your account" but you can have a Google account with an email address not serviced at Google.

So if you're willing to have multiple accounts it seems doable.
Not something done on a whim when you have a family. Might consider a remote position, though. My current job has decent benefits, and I do enjoy the work, but the pay absolutely stinks compared with the value of the work I'm performing. If openings start flying around with anything close to SV-level compensation I'd be hard pressed not to consider applying.
All borders were established by force... Israel is just more recent, about as recent as every other nation in that region. Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and essentially every other nation in the region was formed around the same period.

The issue is that unlike other cases they were never left to their own devices and let sort their own shit out.

It seems like she’s experienced a lot of inappropriate and difficult things explicitly about gender. My only question was the cultural fit — we don’t know for sure that gender had anything to do with it. Often times when people are fired not only can you never tell them why, they are incapable of seeing, assessing, and recognizing their own flaws (particular when it comes to personal interaction versus quantitative measurements).
Unilaterally? You mean, by voting for a Parliament that makes laws, the same as all other citizens? I don't see any unilateralism there. The Joint Arab List is welcome to put forth a bill to draft all the non-Jews like the Jews -- I'll even demonstrate in support, if it's by their own initiative. But God forbid, apparently, that I should allow people their own choices.

"City Streets" is part of "Full Self Driving" $10,000 package though. They are calling it "Full Self Driving", but a subset of functionality will always be level 2? And the FSD Beta is also level 2 because it only works on city streets? That seems clearly misleading.

What's next? "Really, truly full self driving" that's actually level 3+?
Is one test sufficient to really be valuable to a customer? The oral biome seems pretty wild and varying, even just with changes in diet. It seems one test may be useful, but it seems that many tests at some interval are more useful (assessing change, intervention outcomes, etc.). It seems like you would want your initial customers to be people with chronic issues or genetic history predisposing them. Wouldn’t a single test result be more of personal trivia to the average person?
That is where there is a disconnect between the Tesla marketing language and technical language.

They publicly advertise and collect cash for pre-sales of "Full Self Driving". Most Hacker News technologists (a generalization for sure) would reserve a phrase that bold for Levels 4 and 5.

But here they are in writing stating that they are currently only at Level 2.

So a couple core questions around Tesla are:

- Is it acceptable to take pre-orders from the average consumer for a feature that might be 10 years away?

- Is it ethical to use exaggerated marketing speak for specific technical functions (to give a non-Tesla example, this is like when I see companies implementing rule-based decision trees or linear regression and calling their apps "Artificial Intelligence")?

TSLAQ is a coordinated effort by TSLA short-sellers to generate as much bad press about Tesla as possible in order to tank the price and make money on their short positions.

Ensuring said bad press is accurate/fair is certainly not the primary goal.

Why not?

Being the standard way of doing it since beginning of time is just an argument for why it is a useful source to steal contact information and track users.
> The time I was asked to use my “female approach”

This stuff is why a lot of diversity recruiting makes no sense to me. There are lots of good arguments in favour of targeting under represented groups (social justice, discovering talented people who get missed with traditional methods, willing to accept lower wages, less likely to unionize, etc) but the idea that women or Black people are useful because they “think differently” just seems offensive.
> It's a term of art [..] "A newspaper of record is a major newspaper with large circulation whose editorial and news-gathering functions are considered authoritative."

One definition of "authoritative" would be "able to be trusted as being accurate or true; reliable"

I'm not sure how anyone could seriously believe that to be an appropriate way to describe the NYT (or indeed any of their major competitors).

To be blunt: they're "accurate" and/or "true", except for the all the times when they aren't.
Justice can't be separated from rehabilitation. If your punishment system predictably increases recidivism rates for crimes that have real-world consequences, then you basically are punishing innocent people for other people's actions.

Unless you plan to keep every prisoner in prison indefinitely, then the state that they are in when they leave prison matters. It doesn't just matter for them, it also matters for everybody else who lives alongside them in the future -- people who don't deserve to live in a worse, more dangerous society just because we determined that somebody else completely unrelated to them didn't suffer enough yet.

Prisoners who leave prison without being properly rehabilitated are a liability and a risk for everyone else outside of prison -- and even if you don't care about the prisoners, you should at least care about the other citizens who live around them.

We all have reasons to be cynical towards Elon, but what yo don’t realize is I'm sending this comment over a Starlink connection that has made me rethink what my future could be. Living in a rural area, I was always under the impression that I'd need to move to the city and get a fiber connection eventually. With Starlink, that's not a concern any longer. My latency is rock-solid at <50ms and download speeds are more than capable as well.

Obviously Elon isn't entirely responsible for it, but I'm constantly impressed by his initiative in tech world. If Starlink weren't available, I'd be waiting 3+ years for Apple to build some sort of similar service.
Same error, for several different apps, since yesterday.
You are correct, but, have you used Stadia at all? I have and frankly it's clear that Google is not investing in it. Even with a great internet connection, the rendering on the server side is often laggy, pixelated, blurred, and stutters. It definitely appears that they are not running the games on big enough machines or are oversharing machines or something. I tried playing 3 different games over this past weekend and all 3 were unplayable. When the user experience is that poor, the writing is on the wall.
It’s a software issue not a hardware issue. It’s a learned ability that you have to work on. Similar to overcoming stunted development.

Reading the room, flirting, are all part of it.

That’s…a supposition more than an argument.
The news coverage of "rowdy" protests is always the same: "not real protesters, young people going crazy". Mostly regurgitations from the police chief and the mayor, who obviously have incentive to downplay the intentions of the protesters. They are not completely wrong, of course, but you should take what they say with a grain of salt.

> As someone there in the country, do you feel this is inaccurate?

It's split. Some support the current measures. Some do not. Privately, in my own experience, most are much more unhappy with the measures than they let on publicly. The common phrasing I hear from the hopefuls is "at least it might end soon". If it does not, they might have a change of mind.

> QAnon has become a very visible thing in anti-lockdown social media and protests here in Eastern Europe.

Yes, in Eastern Europe that might be true.. over here, I would be hard pressed to find someone who has even heard of it.
I think this kind of a system is extremely unlikely to be applied in practice, at least in the United States--it's just too costly. You can reasonably train a 16-year-old to be a lifeguard in less than 30 hours[0].

Meanwhile, even the most basic of prosumer ROVs (remotely-operated underwater vehicles) like the BlueROV2 costs almost $3000[1], that that's without including the fancy computer vision tech and/or acoustics features that they're describing in here, which probably won't even be able to take advantage of the economies of scale for spare parts like thrusters, etc. That doesn't take into account the eventual maintenance costs, replacement, etc.

There's some places where marine robotics offer benefits for replacing humans--deep sea diving, oil rigs, etc. But that only works because the cost of training and employing humans is so much higher, there's support equipment costs anyway, and the risk involved warrants it. I don't see any of those factors here making this likely.

Brought a smile to read, thank you baumandm!
I never got on board with the news because of this. I can listen or read and article about it and never seem to grasp exactly what is being said.

But! Whenever I see news agencies or publications write or talk about any subject on which I have a deep familiarity, all I see is either an idiotic mischaracterization of the facts, or blatantly manipulative spin.

Every time I don't understand a subject, I don't learn anything, and when I do understand it, I'm appalled at what is being shown.

To this day I scratch my head at how people can think watching prime time news or reading the newspaper is how you stay informed about the goings on of a society. And I'm not saying I have a better understanding of such, I don't. I just can't see how that information could be coming from the sources I'm told provide it.
I'm not trolling, I'm pointing out the obvious - you are espousing mildly transphobic principles and you should reassess your framework until it makes sense.

Someone with a prostate having prostate cancer and needing treatment has an obvious, involuntary, cause and the person is presumably voluntarily cooperative in being treated.

Thinking that it is even possibly reasonable to exclude a woman from playing womans sport because you don't believe they are womanly enough, regardless of their beliefs, is blatant transphobia. And the long pseudo-science "not men but kinda men" justification is the sort of thing bigots tried to deploy against gays, religious minorities and women in the past. That should stop. If someone is a women, and we can treat them like women, we should treat them like a woman. Ditto how humans should be treated like humans.

1) Privacy / Monetization: We're big believers that users should own their own data. We have no plans to sell your data to anyone. In terms of monetization, there are several approaches. We can add affiliate links to all books on bookshelves. We can build a freemium model. We can have authors promote books. The list goes on. For now we aren't focusing on monetization -- but rather focusing on building an awesome product that gives people what they actually want :)

2) Source of data. For now we are using Google Books api!

3) Thanks for the feedback re: ordering. We'll keep this mind and think about how we can improve our search results.
> The whole point of a criminal justice system is to reduce crime.

I think the justice system is just what the people think it should be... not some unarguable objective goal.

Having said that... people value revenge. If we automatically released all killers because we had a drug or 10 day program that would 100% prevent reoffence, I don’t think people would call that justice. Right or wrong, I think in most people’s eyes justice demands some level of revenge if not to a specific person, then to society at large.
He has been pretty honest that predicting the maximum of a derivative of an S-curve is very hard.
That sounds like rather much of a diversion from the simple factual question of whether any under international law Lebanese land remains occupied by Israel, to which the answer is a simple no.

> I realize I've sort of just re-invented Javascript.

Or one of several bytecodes that get JIT or AOT compiled.

WASM in particular has my interest these days, thanks to native browser support and being relatively lean and more friendly towards "native" code, whereas JVM and CLR are fairly heavyweight, and their bytecodes assume you're going to be using a garbage collector (something that e.g. wasmtime manages to avoid.)

Non-web use cases of WASM in practice seem more focused on isolation, sandboxing, and security rather than architecture independence - stuff like "edge computing" - and I haven't read about anyone using it for AOT compilation. But perhaps it has some potential there too?
Restoration of the wronged is more valuable than revenge for the wronged. A rehabilitated prisoner can pay restitution, an executed or habitually imprisoned criminal can’t pay restitution.
He's a fan of heresy, after all.
The posted link took me straight to Tim's tweet, so I didn't realize at first that he was replying to @isostandards:

> Hello, unfortunately, the ISO Central Secretariat does not provide free copies of standards. All ISO Publications derive from the work and contributions of ISO and ISO Members that contain intellectual property of demonstrable economic value.

> For this reason, considering the value of standards, their economic and social importance, the costs of their development and maintenance, we and all ISO Members have the interest to protect the value of ISO Publications and National Adoptions, not making them publicly available.

The ISO standard that I have the most experience with is ISO/IEC 9899:1990, aka C90. Part of the reason for that, of course, is that I had a used copy of Herbert Schildt's Annotated ANSI C Standard; it's also a considerably smaller standard than, say, SQL or C++.

I'm of mixed minds as to the value of the C standard. There is certainly value in having a standard. After sufficient study and deliberation, you can usually determine whether an input program or compiler implementation is standards conforming. When I compare the evolution of C and C++ to say, Python and Rust, I have trouble pointing to the specific value that ISO adds.

This isn't really a fair comparison, because the difference between C/C++ and Python/Rust isn't just the process, but the end result. I judge C and C++ not just by ISO's efforts, but by those of Microsoft, IBM, GNU, LLVM, etc. Python and Rust, meanwhile, ship a working reference implementation, and do a pretty good job of it. Rust has improved quite a bit six weeks at a time. C standards, meanwhile, ship closer to every decade. Even the new rapid pace of C++ is every three years.
Ask HN: Interesting Python mistakes for teaching CS to high schoolers?
Hi,

I am a CS teacher in France, currently teaching Python to 16 yo as their first programming language.

There are millions of good tutorials online to learn Python. However, while these can teach rules and principles to follow (the stuff you should do), I'm looking specifically for a list of mistakes (the stuff you shouldn't do), why beginners tend to make them, and what you should do instead (like comprehensions instead of iterations, etc.)

I find learning from mistakes to be incredibly more efficient sometimes than just telling students what works.

Any suggestions?
Turns out Sowell was always right about the condescension angle.
The incredible thing about the whole "FSD Beta" phenomenon is how many members of the public are willfully participating in the pump-and-dump. I just can't figure out if they are hypnotized, brainwashed, or just never had any critical thinking skills to begin with.

Take for example this well-known youtuber, AI DRIVR. This guy drives around in his Tesla talking about how amazing and mind-blowing it is, but if you mute him and just watch the video with a critical eye you can see that the software simply does not work. It should be outlawed immediately before it kills someone. He recently rampaged through my town of Berkeley, California, breaking five laws per minute (aside from the fact that he has the speed controls set 5 MPH above the limit at all times).

Here's his car running a stop sign: https://youtu.be/SNT5MzjAAms?t=219

Here it runs a red light, which the narrator takes pains to explain away. https://youtu.be/SNT5MzjAAms?t=238

Here it turns right from the center lane: https://youtu.be/SNT5MzjAAms?t=523

Here it violates the right-of-way of a car that it incorrectly classified as parked. https://youtu.be/SNT5MzjAAms?t=762

At numerous points in the video, it signals for a right turn while going straight. https://youtu.be/SNT5MzjAAms?t=806

Here it signals left while going straight: https://youtu.be/SNT5MzjAAms?t=898

Absolutely unacceptable. The government should act against this junk.
Personally I think he understands everything. The problem is the stock market and SEC which set up laws that encourage and incentivize bullshitting. Everything from letting a free market full of idiots to determine prices, to quarterly earnings reports, is set up to encourage every form of BS.

If we want to optimize for reducing bullshit, the stock market and rules around it need to be restructured.

> The trend of innovation is increasingly becoming grassroots-driven

Please qualify this, I call bs. I acutally think its harder and harder to innovate now a days and we need large companies to innovate because scale is now the battle for any product that makes an impact.

If its a "trend" then you must have historical data that displays the change and im sure you have a hard definition for "innovation" and "grassroots". This is basically a flippant comment that Im not even sure you feel strongly about but it sounds nice.
