The US has bought its way out of the pandemic by funding the pharma companies and reserving doses.

This was a smart play, of course, and ultimately the deciding factor, but this success is only being realized after a long string of failures and ongoing inefficiencies.
I dont think the shapira finds can really be said to have been dismissed out of anti semitism, after all his cheif critic was also a jewish person. Sure, the cartoons in the times use jewish stereotypes - but only for one of the two jews in them - and they both are well after the actual event , and so cannot be showing the motivations of those alleging forgery
Sure, but its the data we have, and therefore the best estimate we have of the likelihood, on average.
Thanks! That was silly
You might not like the data, but it exists. Tesla cars are 2x more likely to get into an accident when not in Autopilot mode.

Tesla cars in Autopilot mode are roughly 8x less likely to get into an accident compared with the average number of reported accidents in the US.

Note: There is a bias about when Autopilot is enabled (i.e. on highways). There is a bias in the type of person that can buy a Tesla car.

That said: Tesla is legally obligated to report all Autopilot accidents. Most accidents are not reported, only the major accidents are reported. So it’s likely that Tesla car’s accident rate are even better than the data suggests.

My reading of the comment is that the embodied carbon of a new EV is greater than that of a new ICE car. This is definitely true. Battery production uses a lot of energy.

You get so worked up but my point with every message is that excessive memory allocation is a performance killer. Part of the reason is cache misses which you went into here. For all your rabbit holes and straying off topic, it's pretty clear you know a lot more about this than chriseaton.

Ruby runs 50x to 100x slower than native software, let alone well optimized native software. It is not a context that makes sense when talking about absolute performance.

> despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary,

The overwhelming evidence is that tiny memory allocations will always carry more overhead than operating on the data they contain. Excessive memory allocations imply small memory allocations and small memory allocations will have overhead that outweighs their contents. This actually is about as universal on modern CPUs as you can get. This is why allocating a few bytes at a time in a loop dominates performance, which all I've really been saying.

> going so far as to put false words in my mouth in order to defend your point of view. Please stop doing that.

Relax, you might learn something
And the Model S is really more like an electric Ford Mustang than a Bentley.
Their comment was specifically about when the autopilot is off, so it is apples to apples because bot situation can be treated equally - a person driving a car fully manually.
In a plane when an auto pilot fails the pilot is still culpable.

Publish or perish is difficult when you've got clay pot pieces to assemble into a narrative interesting enough for an audience.
I provided you with a collection of facts from the court case and ruling. Make of it what you will. But painting Unsworth as a saint that did nothing wrong and calling it a smear campaign is baseless.

You are essentially discounting the judge/jury decision on this matter. If the facts were on Unsworth side. It would have been an ironclad case. I am operating from a factual standpoint. You seem to be on the emotional side because you keep going on this tirade.
Shibboleths? Those phrases are intended to identify unifying intent vs deception intending division. I agree "black lives matter"; can you agree "all lives matter" and "it's OK to be white" and thus support us working together for mutual betterment? or will you viciously attack the phrases, belying your intent to divide us?

Is a phrase a "shibboleth" when intended to promote peace, unity, and mutual aid?

I watched a project where the starting idea was to make and IDE for lawyers, applying the many learnings from modern IDEs including autocompletion, structure the document like code, etc. The main challenge was to get lawyers to adopt and move away from MS word. It ended up applying that approach to tools and document management for lawyers: https://tryprose.com/home

"Well, I have to confess to you; this is all staged; everyone on camera is reading a script; none of this is real."
This is such an ivory tower kind of viewpoint. Thinking like this we'd never have high level languages and tools that make life easier for everyone.

I recently got into hardware during the past year. The learning curve (especially on the software side of hardware) is quite steep. Also the toolchains suck. Coming from a webdev world it is night and day as to the amount of open source code out there that helps you get started. Arduino helps chip away at that steep learning curve and I wish there were more projects like it.

YouTube deleted channel without informed violation
Youtube Account “SmartoVersity” got stolen and deleted later on due to some hacking attempts. The link to Youtube channel was https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmLqonufc7iW4ATGQe-Crxg
This was completely a educational channel, no spam or guideline violation content was there.
There happened lot of suspicious activities with this account, first of all the email was changed and later on the ownership was also changed. After that YouTube deleted the account for community guideline violation.

It started with a Ransomeware in PC, probably the cookies of my chrome browser were compromised then, and from there hacker logged into youtube account and also formatted phone using findmymobile app, then took the ownership of account and uploaded some violating content. The apps like find my mobile are of no help instead created trouble.
No doubt, these are all purchases I don't actually make with any regularity. But it seems to me like the prices you listed are outliers. Hershey's has cheap chocolate, mcdonalds has cheap coffee, but surely we don't take the lowest price as an example of what those things cost. If 90% of the sellers of coffee charge about $4 for a cup of coffee, can we assume that's roughly the price of coffee?

I live near a large art museum that has, for each piece, a plaque with the name, artist, year, and at most a paragraph or two of usually-historical context (and sometimes not even that).
I mean, that's like saying if you design a plane under the assumption that the pilot will be trained then the plane manufacturer is at fault. There's definitely a level of expected responsibility on the user. If somebody starts a chainsaw grabbing the blade instead of the handle does that mean the chainsaw manufacturer should be at fault?
I've done web development using RPG. It was super useful to figure out because it allowed us to take a ton of legacy reports and systems and quickly build web interfaces for it without having to sort out the full structure of incredibly complex data systems.
Yeah, my experience with the Model 3’s touch screen is that it’s really good at displaying the information you need at a glance and that, while driving, very little interaction with it is necessary: the sticks and steering wheel controls do nearly everything you need while driving.

That analysis is pretty fatally flawed (at least for software jobs). When I was at google you could easily get by on working 6 hours in the office and commuting an hour each way. The housing cost difference was obscene and would easily offset the cost of a new car every other year.

Like most Money Mustache article’s the analysis looks sound because “numbers” but the numbers have a bunch of fucked assumptions to reach them.
The phrase was set up by trolls explicitly to root out those who do not, after all, use corresponding phrases in good faith (and once rooted out, then played). It absolutely should be a fine, boring statement - and its brilliance is that it's not the trolls that make it a trap, but those who choose to fight it.
Give up on FANG's and pick a B-list company that will pay 85-90% of what a FANG will. Not trying to diminish your goal, but it'll basically meet your goal with less input (higher ROI). Your income will be nearly as good, you'll be able to work on challenging problems, and it's not as hard to get in. You mentioned not much friends/family time, but it's good to have balance, don't put all your energy exclusively into your career.

Also, if you're good enough to score interviews at FANGs, don't diminish yourself. That's more than half the battle.

Congrats on the launch!

Here's a niche worth looking into: Women's attire for formal music recitals and performances. My experience is limited to being a parent of a classical music student. Every musician ends up needing a variety of outfits for performances of different kinds, and for women, a solo performance tends to demand something akin to a formal dress. Shopping for such a thing is a pain in the arse, but they'll buy one and wear it over an over if it works.

In addition to looking good, the dress has to work meaning that it can't interfere with playing an instrument or singing. Not having ever worn such a thing, I can't guess what is needed, but there are endless performance videos on YouTube of concert performers, and you can imagine that someone like Hilary Hahn has figured out what works by now.

Dresses that fit younger girls would also be a thing.

Being a male musician, I'm kind of lucky that I can get away with something that's 100% generic. I bought a used tuxedo, almost a quarter century ago, and have worn it hundreds of times. Every musician male or female, also owns a set of "concert black," which is black shirt and black pants.
So if you watch the video it will provide context.

Morality is predicated on free will in the sense that without free will humans cannot do good or bad things, because if our behavior is entirely deterministic, no action is truly an action and therefore cannot be good or bad.

Bad things happening to people is an amoral concept, people doing bad things is within the scope of morality. It is not evil for, say, a piano to land on someone, but to deliberately drop a piano on someone is something that can be examined morally.

>Nobody had ever explained to me in any coherent form what free will is.

This is where watching the video to get the context comes in handy. Basically philosophers/scientists like Descartes and others made a point which I think is very compelling, that the only thing we can be certain exists, because we experience it directly, and it is arguably the only thing we experience directly, is that we have free will, and therefore to presume that it does not exist but then to investigate other things is silly. The concept is closely related to Descartes' "evil demon" thought experiment from which we get the famous though often misunderstood phrase "I think therefore I am". In the video Chomsky even makes a great joke that for someone to argue that free will doesn't exist they have to have, and therefore experience first hand, free will, unless their argument is that they have no choice to argue that point because they were driven to it deterministically.
I think it's also worth remembering that many versions of "bad values" might not be bad faith feigning of good values, but it might be a disagreement over values (in the same way that you might agree on values, but disagree on ideas as you described).

Two people may have different weights on the proper tradeoffs of safety versus liberty, and each might think the other has "bad values" without disagreeing with the others ideas, or thinking they are being dishonest or underhanded in any way.
My gateway into functional programming was via the concepts of it, things like immutability, declarative language and map/filter/reduce functions which are present in UI frameworks like ReactJS.

If you’re creating a user interface of some kind it’s a lot easier to get feedback and to actually see something working while directly applying FP concepts.

I would also recommend Typescript over JavaScript, not only for the better experience but also as there is a lot of overlap between type theory and FP.
Yes, the topic of discussion is T-cells, NOT antibodies.
To make a sweeping and definitely falsifiable statement: My understanding is that public consultations are almost always total garbage in individualist nations :) The bread and butter of those who run them are mostly done around civic land use, and property developers unintentionally capture most of the industry and distort it.

Collectivist countries like Taiwan seem to have a much stronger consultation professional culture, probably because it's not just governments that hire them, but generally lots of businesses seem to find need for mediation/consultation

The good consultations cover a lot of slots. The one you or I go to will always have a skew. It usually doesn't mean the consult is bad. Different "weirdos" show up for different times :) Public consultations always seem to have powerless people who gravitate toward them, and this is sometimes the only platform they're ever given. A good consultation professional knows how to manage them imho
This is absolutely not correct. Morals are subjective, whereas ethics is a field of study that exists specifically to provide objective frameworks.

This will change in some years though. Conversion will cost less gas with L2. Things are progressing quickly on those problems. Dexs and liquidity pools will have near zero fees.

Personally, I think unless coinbase pivots, their current business model is not sustainable in the long term. But right now, coinbase is capturing value in a way that the early majority of crypto's adoption curve can digest.
You have to allocate and deallocate--where and when does that occur? When the data structure needs to grow, all pointers need to be invalidated--where and when does that occur? How do you iterate across the data structure? Do those iterators hold a local pointer or do they hold a root pointer plus an accessor function pointer plus memoization? What happens when you want to copy a subset of the data structure? I can go on and on.

Every one of those things requires a fairly primitive function call that sometimes doesn't even need to exist in another language. For contrast, think about all the macrology that the Linux kernel does to iterate across every element of a linked list that is effectively "for element in list {}" in any higher language.

And, even worse, most of that stuff in C needs to be runtime-only, while some of this kind of thing gets elided by the compiler in other languages.

If you don't consider all that "stupidly verbose" I'm really curious what you would?

And this is long before we start talking about concurrency.

C allows you to write something that works "just enough" that you put it into production and then it bites you in the ass (similar to quadratic algorithms--functional enough to get to production and then bite you).

"Smoking a vape pen" I don't get this one. Was it an offence to be a cheerleader and vape? Why not go all out a do a cigarette, they were already going all out with naked photos.

I'd guess some of the photos were real, but the police are calling them 'deep fakes' for privacy reasons.

In November I activated such an AMD Promo for my Ryzen 5000X. The game I got was Far Cry 6. Hilarious because the game keeps

What exactly has Hyperloop "achieved"? It offers the same benefit as Maglev with massively inflated costs and far less comfortable passenger experience.
It’s not that unfathomable, it’s just not something you’re about to get in place of a direct deposit any time soon. I’ve seen internet artists and musicians offer to take commission payment in crypto before. Assuming the ecological issues of cryptocurrencies are possible to sort out, this kind of peer-to-peer usage feels nearly ideal, especially when many smaller businesses have trust issues with internet peer to peer payment providers such as PayPal.
I think that Coinbase is kind of the Apple of crypto exchanges. Their trading UI is simplified and opinionated but by having reasonable settings is vastly better than everything else out there.
Always nice to see people that still believe in the government to act competently. I mean really, we can't even maintain the roads. There's no way we'll be able to pull off some next level plan, let alone execute it in a reasonable timeframe. There's a fundamental breakdown that's happened somewhere in the past 50 years that's lead to the inability to properly manage the country's infrastructure and this doesn't just apply to roads. Is it a leadership issue? Self-serving corruption? I don't know, but what we have now is certainly broken.
It used to be pretty common for electricity demand to double every decade. Residential electricity usage more than doubled from 1950 to 1960, and then again more than doubled from 1960 to 1970 (and then about doubling again by 1990). A lot of that was air conditioning becoming common and then ubiquitous. Electric cars will be able to be more responsive to grid constraints than air conditioners ever were.

I seriously don't want to deride the product (and it is just a product right now, not much else) but personally - even if this widget was doing 10x the functionality it is now, the internal debate I would have about paying $10 a month for yet another SaaS would make it almost impossible for me to pay that $10 a month. The truth is 99% of people who work for corporate jobs wouldn't pay their own money to enhance their productivity at work. I can -maybe- see freelancers and consultants using this. But then again, there are so many free alternatives as people have pointed out. I think there is an identity crisis here. Y'all need to take to heart that backlash you're getting here because HN is full of early tech adopters and if even these people can't see the point of the product, no one else will.
Well just because that would be a bad dangerous idea does not mean that police will not do it. After all police uses lie detectors, fingerprinting and DNA evidence without much care for an error rate.

I hope some day there will be an episode of a crime show where by chance two teams of detectives will independently work on the same case without noticing each other and by using standard police methods they will come to completely different incompatible conclusions and detain two different suspects who of course both confess after going through standard police interrogation.

Haha, probably because there’s no consensus on what it is.

I was about to respond and say “if we teuely are deterministic then no, there can’t be moral actions.” But it turns out like usual I’m totally unequipped to answer the question.

Free will can't be explained any more than your sense of smell or taste can be explained. You know you have it because you know that nothing can absolutely determine your own actions. Our actions are neither deterministic nor random.
For a lot of stuff there's redundancy too— like rovers with six wheels but that can drive with any four, and the Curiosity and Perseverance missions having dual computers and dozens of cameras. I'm sure they run scenarios where significant chunks of the rover's systems fail and they figure out how to carry on anyway— thinking in part here of the famous HGA issues on Galileo:
