Small private clinics run by a small bunch or even a single practitioner have almost nothing in common with huge healthcare companies. This is precisely what I mean when I say that docs have control over their own turf but no further. Such small private structures are perfectly acceptable since they're much less toxic to the system at large. Independent practitioners will never have the lobbying weight that whole companies have, and therefore are IMO the only form of private healthcare provider that can work. Hospitals should be public.
No one has a right to a viable business model. There are other ways to make money.

I also oppose companies like Nestle monopolizing water supplies to sell back to communities at a premium. If they're not allowed to do that, then their employees will have to find something else to do, or they won't be able to feed their family and their children will go hungry. Naturally, we'll not speak of any of the benefits which might be possible if we eliminated their business model. The only consequence of any import is that their employee's family will starve and die.

This is clearly a false argument. Intellectual property is based on an artificial scarcity and has no basis in the tangible value of goods and services. It's a kind of intellectual rent. It should not be granted special status in law.
You're right. "Exploitative" is a matter of opinion.

The term is "fraud". That is what will be proven in court.
Pre-commit-Golang v0.8.2 – Now with gosec support
So is this actually confusing anyone and causing danger? We can figure it out. One of the following must be true:

- It is confusing people, but the tech is actually pretty much autonomous, so we haven't noticed.

- It is confusing people, and Tesla drivers are dying in crashes at a rate massively in excess of other car manufacturers.

- Everybody knows that you still have to pay attention, and they don't give the car total control.

Option 1 is almost certainly not true since it requires the existence of near perfect self driving tech, which is generally agreed not to exist. Option 2 is definitely not true, because if Tesla drivers were dying at a much greater rate than drivers of other cars, this would be completely obvious and impossible to hide. So that leaves us with option 3, and all the repeated complaining about this is sanctimonious BS.
This sounds a lot like getoutline.com
I feel bad saying it, but my experience of neurotypicals as an autist is exactly this and I've wondered the same thing my whole life.

I don't think I'll ever understand why neurotypicals get so emotional about everything. There's often been times in my life where I've tried to make indisputable logical statements based on hard facts, but someone will decide to take offence and complain because the reality isn't to their liking.

My whole life I've had to navigate around childish neurotypicals who can't handle straight forward conversations about things without getting overly emotional. Just look at what happened to James Damore because he made the mistake of trying to use logic with neurotypicals.

When I was a kid it used to really upset me. I got in trouble several times for trying to explain why various religious stories didn't make logical sense. I also got in trouble for saying I didn't like the head teacher which was an objectively true statement. When I look back now I realise it wasn't me who had the problem. If anything it was them.
That was due to compression, however, not upscaling. Related, but not similar :)

C#, or more specifically the .NET VM (goes for F# and VB too) has a lot more features that make it a lot easier to avoid GC events than in the past. Managing memory especially across interop with Span support means a lot less copying from managed to unmanaged memory as an example which would help a lot with games that often need to invoke operating system libs/drivers.
I don't know, I look at the world of cryptocurrencies and things like NFTs and think, man, there are some pretty wild swindles going on right now! Things that Mr. McMahon would never imagined possible when he put 480" on those designs.
I work at a large video streaming company. I put in my 2 weeks notice last week. A coworker put theirs in a few weeks before me and another a few days after me.

All of us are frustrated about the company's (lack of) leveling system, poor compensation, and overall lack of leadership on this and many other issues. Many other engineers are too and some more will likely leave over the next couple of months.

A new banding system has been in the works since I started 3 years ago.

Companies need to have this figured out and operate in a clear predictable way to avoid exoduses like what I'm seeing (our engineerinng division has had 5-6 people leave since the start of the year including us 3).

If you're in a leadership or executive role, your priority should be to create a space that allows for individuals to move up and progress in their careers. Let your team - engineers, designers, managers etc - focus on building the product. You need to build a business.

> that involved clang replacing ack, so builds went from ~10 minutes to 3+ hours

Are those real numbers? Yikes. I mean, I don't disbelieve it, it's just a reminder about how far we've fallen. Modern compilers are indeed amazing tools, but those last 8-10% of features (performance, safety, etc...) have come at an absolutely staggering price.

And clang isn't really that big an offender, being only a tiny bit slower than GCC. C++ and Rust are a solid order of magnitude slower still.
Nothing in the post contradicted that. It’s about Tesla FSD’s current status, not their hopes and dreams for the future of their software. And the current status is extremely divergent from what the name suggests. That’s the point.
this isn’t anything new, there have been projects like this, including guis, around for years in github
If you want to avoid rent seeking, then you should advocate for affordable housing that people can afford to buy.

In California, only 1/3rd of the population has enough income to afford a house. San Francisco is much, much worse.

Subsidizing developers to build (likely high-crime) housing so they can extract income from people with < 80% AMI doesn’t sound like a sustainable path to improving income disparity.

Instead, they should subsidize (or at least stop actively blocking) construction of new homes that the average person can afford to purchase, and then put them up for sale, not rent.

(Edit: I think we agree.)
There is a good reason for that. In order to have an amalgamation of systems with design life of a given duration, every component must have a design life of much, much longer. When you get lucky, a system can go for a really long time relative to its design life.

Great examples of this are Spirit and Opportunity. The latter failed at ~61 times its specified design lifetime.

Having been a small part of some space-mission design and larger science collaborations, I can state with confidence that you really don't want your subcomponent to be the one that causes a failure.
Really interesting, ty. Agree with the sibling comments, needs normalization of course, but if that doesn't warrant funding I'm not sure what does. If I can throw a few bucks at it, please let me know how!

This already happens. The average american has so small a pool of resources and health care is so expensive that surgery or drugs that insurance doesn't pay for is unaffordable beyond trivialities for the vast majority.

If little johnny needs a 150k operation and the insurance says no he's going to die and they can't all pay into each others go fund me. The economics just don't work out.

Also virtually nobody has suggested outlawing cash payments for services. That idea is much outside of the mainstream as believing that the earth is flat. Pretending that is what socialized medicine is, is a straw man.

They are the opposite of meaningless. This is just straight-up incorrect, both in theory and in practice.

Please take some time and think about this a bit more. Please think about how code review processes work, how audits work, how human attention spans work. Please think about how people endlessly nitpick small PRs but accept large ones with few comments. What unsafe does is make it easy to spot the small bits of critical code to nitpick while not having to worry about safety for the rest.

Keep in mind that your numbers do not include international students as an immigration pathway and the number of people here on 10 year residency which can include "temporary" foreign workers. For example in 2019 there were 640k international students in the country, a significant percentage of them will also choose to stay here or are here on 10 year visas and they are not counted in the stats you gathered. There are an additional 550,000 TFWs here, many on long term visas. Again, not counted in your stats, nor are illegals.

The government also obfuscates the number of foreign buyers of housing because it only takes 6 months to gain permanent residency, and those with permanent residency are not counted as foreign buyers.

Saying "we just don't really know", and "its a hard problem" is troubling to me, its basically saying that we shouldn't bother getting to the root of the issue because you'd rather we didn't. So far with your stats that you googled, the one possible cause you offer is that elderly people might be holding onto their homes. Really?? Not, for example, speculators who can capitalize on the fact that we have guaranteed, consistent, artificial, foreign population growth since the 1980's? And why was this done? The conservative party ramped up immigration to gain favor of the immigrant voting block, and all other parties adopted the same approach.
Magic is older than humans. Animals rely on magic -- subtle intentional interactions with quantum mechanics in their everyday lives, it is second nature to them. For a take on it accessible to someone with a science-centered mindset, try looking at the book Entangled Minds. Not just "higher" animals, even earthworms. We humans think we're so much smarter, though... We deny even the possibility of its existence :)

and similar to NFTs the artists involved in early computer art also faced harassment

"Indifferent as many critics and curators were, there were some responses to computer art that were considerably more severe. In fact, computer art has aroused the kind of extreme resentment that characterized many of the idolatry controversies scattered through the history of art. Beyond the sabotaging of computers, physical attacks have been made on artists for their involvement with such devices, and the careers of art curators have been significantly damaged by their participation in computer art exhibitions. Though it is commonly accepted that computer art was unpopular upon its arrival, many are unaware of the level of vitriol directed toward computer artists. In a case reaching the levels of harassment and personal attack, Grace Hertlein reported that she was called a “***” and “traitor” by a fellow artist, who saw her choice of medium as morally questionable and as a complete rejection of authentic artistic traditions"[1]

All sounds very similar to whats happening to a lot of artists thanks to Memo Akten's cryptoart.wtf name and shame site.

>US will be one of the first countries back to normalcy

I live in Australia. The country has been to normal for a long time now, and my state specifically had a lockdown at the start of the pandemic, and since August 2020, we have not had a major lock down (except for one week in Jan 2021 due to a outbreak scare) and have been living in normalcy since then.

Just saying because it seems like people erasing and forgetting history that somehow America is the first out of this. No, many countries have done fairly well and have managed to be relatively normal.
As a high school student in the mid-1980's, I was the first to submit "computer art" to a county art contest. There being no appropriate category, it was submitted as a "print" (via previously unheard-of use of a dot-matrix printer, metal impacting inked cloth ribbon). Apparently the submission caused a great deal of consternation among the judges, some thinking it a grand advancement of arts, and others appalled at the notion. Ultimately it was accepted and won (IIRC) an honorable mention (wasn't really that artistic, just explored the medium & tools).
> So how is it that I’m supposed to write a short story again?

I haven't read the book, but by the author of this reviews own description of the book’s genesis and nature, it seems not even superficially directed at answering this question as such—not because Saunders views it as unanswerable, but because he presumes the reader already has a suitable approximation of the answer and is looking for tools for defining it, and if you are asking that question with no idea of the answers you aren't the target audience.

There are plenty of books aimed at getting you from square zero to a basic idea of writing (whether it's short-story or some other form), but this doesn't appear to be one of them.
It's a fair point though, the opinions of Christians bears zero relevance to Jewish belief.

We create a lot of the scarcity that exists in the states not so we can spend more on enriching society but so we can enrich a minority at the expense of society.

Your argument is only sound in the hypothetical case.
The idea that dualism was demolished by Newton, whose theories (just-so stories) forced us to forget the "body substance" and left us with only the "mind substance," is very interesting. We tend to think of Newton as the exact opposite: someone who made a clockwork universe intelligible.

This perspective makes idealism seem inevitable. I wonder what Chomsky has to say about Kant.
Thank you for making the effort to write up and share this succinct and very intelligible summary. I appreciated it, a lot!
In Australia, we treat this very differently.

My training as an anaesthesiologist has cost the taxpayer roughly 2 million AUD from medical school to specialist qualification. The direct cost to me? About $75,000 AUD.

Some treatments are expensive and futile. We aren’t compelled to offer them. We do have to prioritise treatments and triage patients, resources are not unlimited. By the same token, no-one is denied care on the basis of age or ability.

Many patients suffer from too much medical intervention, and I am extremely grateful that I almost never feel compelled to perform treatments that don’t benefit patients.
Quite right, although they are of course not in a position to enforce this; certainly not in the way America is. I suspect while they say they do, the number of returns they actually get can be counted on one hand. So yes in theory, probably no in practice. I’ve always wondered though if you have some data I’d love to see it!
I've had my model y for six months now, and I have not needed to charge it away from home once yet. Yes, it's the pandemic so I'm not making long trips, but it's met my regular trip needs without compromise.

> Interfaces are a subset of classes.

If you're thinking like Java.

Go says: interfaces come after classes, not before. They describe the features you want, and any class can match them if it has the features. Therefore an interface is decoupled from the classes it matches.
Given the terrible health consequences of deficiency, I think assuming racial difference in healthy vitamin D levels is a more dangerous claim that requires a burden of proof.

Melanin absorbs the UV light our bodies use to produce vitamin D.

It is an important public health issue for people with darker skin living in temperate or polar areas to get enough vitamin D.

Lack of vitamin D for people with darker skin is the inverse of paler people being at risk of burns in sunny areas.
Well, this is about a 51% attack by the PoW miners and PoW is the law of the land. That’s why I replied in that way.
Death is not the only outcome of a crash. In fact, it’s relatively rare. Further, I’d argue a single death due to confusion of FSD’s capabilities is enough to make the complaining not “sanctimonious BS”, because that one death probably could be avoided by using a name that is more representative of the truth.
Is this referring to Google. I never click any buttons or participate in surveys to send more data to companies like Google. Whether I found what I was looking for, etc. is none of their business. As such, any conclusions made from users (or bots) who do click such buttons is ignoring all the users who don't.

At the same time, I do have opinions about these companies and what they have done to the concept of a "www search engine". I may share these elsewhere, such as on HN. Any conclusions based solely on clicking buttons on a company website would be ignoring user comments elsewhere. One could argue any results are only potentially applicable to the type of user that clicks buttons asking for feedback, which may be a small subsection of total users.

"Priming" is an interesting idea. One of the earliest, most cited studies was performed by one of Robert Zajonc's PhD students who joined the faculty at NYU and is now at Yale -- John Bargh. However those foundational studies and subsequent ones by Bargh, as well as countless social psychology research that relies on them, were called into question about ten years ago when other labs found the results could not be replicated.^1 When one of these labs in Belgium published about the failure to replicate, Bargh went bananas. He attacked the investigator's paper but failed to address the issue by trying to replicate the original study himself. Daniel Kahnemman, whose popular science books which often rely on these studies, acknowledged the problem and called for more replication studies in social pscychology.^2

A judge ruled on it, so there were definitely things being said in court.

I expect that "legal position" means something put out by a lawyer, not a facebook post.

I expect that the actions the company takes and the things their lawyers say take precedence over a facebook post.

It looks like they're about to run into trouble with the California DMV over false claims of autonomy.[1]

13 CCR § 228.28

§ 228.28. Statements About Autonomous Technology.

(a) No manufacturer or its agents shall represent in any advertising for the sale or lease of a vehicle that a vehicle is autonomous unless it meets all of the following requirements:

(1) The vehicle meets the definition of an autonomous vehicle specified in Vehicle Code section 38750 and section 228.02(b) of Article 3.8.

(2) The vehicle was manufactured by a manufacturer licensed pursuant to Vehicle Code section 11701 also holding a valid autonomous vehicle manufacturer's permit issued pursuant to this Article at the time of the vehicle's manufacture.

(b) The use of terms to describe the performance of a vehicle that is known, or by the exercise of reasonable care should be known, will likely induce a reasonably prudent person to believe a vehicle is autonomous, as defined in Vehicle Code section 38750 and 228.02(b) of Article 3.8, constitute an advertisement that the vehicle is autonomous for the purposes of this section and Vehicle Code section 11713.

Here's the CA definition of an autonomous vehicle:

(1) “Autonomous technology” means technology that has the capability to drive a vehicle without the active physical control or monitoring by a human operator.

...

(B) An autonomous vehicle does not include a vehicle that is equipped with one or more collision avoidance systems, including, but not limited to, electronic blind spot assistance, automated emergency braking systems, park assist, adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, traffic jam and queuing assist, or other similar systems that enhance safety or provide driver assistance, but are not capable, collectively or singularly, of driving the vehicle without the active control or monitoring of a human operator.

As of right now, there is only one company that has an California autonomous vehicle deployment permit - Nuro. They have a little electric vehicle which makes deliveries without a driver. It's golf cart sized and has a top speed of 25MPH. Tesla just has the "testing with a driver" permit, the "learner's permit" for autonomous driving. 56 companies have that. Six other companies have advanced to the "testing without a driver" permit.

My working definition of "art": that which is created for the sufficient purpose of being perceived.

This definition does not require the audience be not the artist. If one creates an instance for the sole purpose of being perceived by one's self alone, that is still art.
