I read the article (I'm swiss) but I feel like I'm missing the point.

I immediately looked up the first 2 most locally famous companies I could think of ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chocolat_Frey + https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cailler which in this case made me read https://cailler.ch/en/about#sustainability ) and in both cases they mention "UTZ Certified" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTZ_Certified ):

UTZ, formerly called UTZ Certified, is a program and a label for sustainable farming. The UTZ label is featured on more than 10,000 product packages in over 116 countries. In 2014, UTZ was reported to be the largest program for sustainable farming of coffee and cocoa in the world. The UTZ program addresses agricultural practices, social and living conditions, farm management, and the environment.

So, from the point of view of sustainability (quality of the product, quality of living of the producers, etc...) the swiss products should be ok, which should be a good thing, right?

Therefore, if general sustainability is OK, then the local companies (therefore, indirectly "the government") shouldn't have problems developing/evolving that kind of industry? Or maybe not?

I'm writing this because I don't understand why such a drastic measure ("stop selling to Switzerland!") is being adopted. I guess that if Ghana does that then Switzerland will just switch to other producers - it will take some time&effort to ensure the same standards (for the quality of both the product & farming) but it's doable => I miss seeing the advantage here for Ghana, as they won't be able anymore to sell their "higher-priced UTZ-certified product" to Switzerland (my assumption is that what they're selling is UTZ-certified).

Am I being naive? Am I overlooking something, maybe simplifying stuff too much?

Recently I asked myself that same question and came up with a satisfying theory.

Part of Tesla's business model is selling $10k FSD packages based on a promise that they will eventually deliver full self-driving. If, at any point in the future, any evidence surfaces showing Musk or other senior leadership at Tesla did not have confidence in their ability to actually deliver FSD, this would amount to large-scale fraud and may result in a class-action lawsuit.

On the other hand, if in all communication, internal and external, Tesla leadership projects confidence in their ability to deliver FSD, but then "unforeseeable circumstances" prevent them from actually delivering it, then it's not a scam, but just an unlucky turn of events. At the very worst, Telsa might have to partly reimburse their customers, but most likely they can keep the money.

So it does not really matter what Musk believes deep down. It's probably easier to do his job if he consciously makes himself believe that he can deliver.
> the U.S. federal government keeps interstate trade

That's part of it, but there's actually also a set of interstate compacts (that still have to be "allowed" by Congress constitutionally) and also Uniform Codes (which don't). Particularly the uniform commercial code https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Commercial_Code

Basically, a think tank from the 50's decided to convince all the states to pass laws which just all happened to look alike because they copied from the same source. No interstate agreement required, they just all did it, no congressional thumbs up required. I... don't think the EU is quite on that level of unity yet =)
Most states either passed laws creating NN state wide or threatened to do so, and probably would've taken action if an ISP over stepped.
DeepSource (YC W20) Is Hiring a Technical Lead (Language Engineering)
Not working, however being a first year in a university during this pandemic must’ve been the worst choice I’ve made in my life thus far.

Especially considering I’m thousands of kilometres away from friends and family and truly only being here for 3-4 exams per semester (everything else is online).

At this point being expelled sounds like a good deal.
I still run HTTP on my sites, preceisely for that reason. If you're ever in that mood again, please have a browse and let me know how it goes. I have tested for compatibility back to Netscape 2.0 and IE 3.0, and only HTTP/1.1 is currently supported, but it may improve in the future.

Neuralink's being actively developed right now.

Hyperloop was an idea and nothing more. He never said he was personally committed to developing that, hence third-parties working on it.

Interplanetary travel? Starship is actively going through testing and looks like it should be ready for moon launches around 2023, which is in two more years.

I don't consider him infallible, or a demi-god, but its hard not to admire the sheer work ethic of this man. He's legitimately trying, and by all accounts of people who know him, he's actively working on all these projects and also making considerable stride towards these goals. These are not easily achieved tasks.

No, these two are completely different matters.

One is arguing for a public utility that just pushes arbitrary and unceognizable bits down a fiber line.

The other is about requiring engineers to support actual tangible information of things they do not support.

Please don't conflate these two.
The last one at 8:25 is really bad. And yeah, this is a much simpler situation than the city driving, and it still tries to kill the driver repeatedly.

Also, far from the worst thing in that video, but I notice the car sits waiting to turn with its wheels turned into the oncoming lane. You're not supposed to do that, because if you get rear-ended, you're going into oncoming traffic; best to keep the wheel straight until you're ready to turn.

How we squeezed more out of Phoenix PubSub (2017) [video]
That site presents figures for other manufacturers at the bottom, but those are driver deaths per million registered vehicle years. The comparable Tesla figure is 47 deaths (from their own site) / about 1.5 million registered vehicle years, so around 30-31 deaths per million registered vehicle years, which puts it about average.
Debt forgiveness is a horrible policy. It encourages borrowers to hold on to their debt as long as possible to achieve forgiveness, and punishes those who don't.

My wife and I worked our butts off to pay off our student debt 10+ years early. How is it fair that our peers with the same jobs, who didn't scrimp and save, will achieve the same outcome we did if the government just decides to take all of that personal debt and basically just add it to the national debt (or expand the money supply)?

Beyond that, when the government does that, OUR taxes will be going to pay off our FRIENDS' debt (or we'll be paying via inflation), even though we ourselves worked to pay off our own debt early. This is grossly unfair.

There are thousands of videos like the one they reported on. The fact that even one such video exists showcasing such laughably bad performance invalidates the premise of FSD.
Agreed (10 days late, but still.)

These kinds of issues are issues with how human societies function. Scientific methods can't eliminate that, but they can help manage it. In fact that's largely the point.
>> Is this a hard problem? In fact, it is not only hard in a colloquial sense, but NP-complete

Perhaps you're frustrated, but consider that in this post you come off as primarily blaming them. I can only speak for myself but I would expect that many on this site, faang or not, are not willing to put up with that kind of attitude from their boss. I'd be curious to know why you jump to "moral superiority" instead of digging in to whatever might be causing the problems.
I've been going through something similar with my Mum recently. She's on the verge of homelessness and has a disability. In Australia, her job provider is supposed to help her find a job given her current situation. She has been there for nearly 4 year and no one there has been able to find her a job (I only just learned of this and have helped her to move from her current agency to another one that seems better equiped to help her)

But, because she has no income (she is left with about $40 a fortnight after government assistance) she has had to cut off her internet connection, phone connection, and her ageing laptop of nearly 10 years has also completely died.

Unfortunately, I didn't learn of this until just a few years ago, but even in that small gap of a few years between where she was able to still afford all of these vital services and bits of equipment and use them perfectly fine and by the time she couldn't, she grew completely disillusioned with technology and has an extremely difficult time in using even basic smart phones. On top of that, it is almost impossible for her to apply for jobs through this device. Trying to teach her how to write up a cover letter on the Google Docs Android app was impossible.

It has really opened my eyes and taught me to be a lot more patient and empathetic with people struggling with modern technology. It feels like a lot of these improvements are supposed to make our lives easier, for for a few, it does nothing but make it harder and I don't know how to solve this problem or if it even can be. Are these people just to be left behind?

I wonder if any downvoters could tell me if they have seen the videos and the plethora of songs from snoop that advocate serious violence, including the fairly recent one with putting a gun to the pres and pulling the trigger?

fine to disagree, just not sure if others know enough about the comment to not disagree ignorantly.
The followup tweet indicates that the CPU has to be in an unlocked state before this is possible, which on a typical system requires there to be a Management Engine vulnerability first. Given what we currently know, this is going to be interesting for people interested in researching the behaviour and security of Intel CPUs and might well lead to discovery of security issues in future, but in itself I don't think this is dangerous.

Edit to add: https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/security-... is a discussion of a previous Intel security issue which includes a description (on page 6) of the different unlock levels. This apparently requires that the CPU be in the Red unlock state, which (in the absence of ME vulnerabilities) should only be accessible by Intel.

I've always been astounded that much of the rage against Tcl seems to stem from the fact that it works as documented, rather than according to the rules of other languages.
> That's more specific than sneaking in with mRNA to get the body to produce something.

No, it really isn't more than that. You could send mRNA code into the body that produces a designer antibody that is specific to the cancer a patient has (similar to CAR-T, Keytruda, etc.), or you could design mRNA that specifically causes cancer cells to express antigens that attract the immune system. I'm obviously oversimplifying a pinnacle of human achievement, but on paper it should work that way.

Yes, cherry picked.

I've seen video which is also unedited, and which shows Tesla FSD behaving just fine. It was promoted onto my Twitter feed by people who want to believe FSD is going well.

Whereas this one was promoted to the top of HN by people who want to sell clicks promoting the idea that FSD is going poorly.

Either one is cherry picking. What wouldn't be cherry picking is watching as much video of FSD driving as you can, collecting statistics on it, trying to make sure your samples are representative (good luck if you aren't Tesla), and writing up a report on what you find.

This is, of course, a ton of work.
Oooh, that reminds me... it's been 3 years since my very gullible cousin called me an idiot for not believing that FSD would be here in 5 years. Two more years to wait for that 'toldyaso'. Shame that I didn't put money on it.

They definitely are not. Anyone working in this industry overwhelmingly agrees that Tesla is far behind the well established self-driving car companies (Waymo, Cruise, ...) mainly because they continue to rely on cameras only (and not lidars)

> I agree, but it’s very expensive to fix. Visual Studio is a de-facto standard in many areas for a reason.

Well sure, and in reality IDE support is a big reason I'm using Scala rather than Haskell. But the fact is that there are maybe 2.5 good IDEs going, and that seems like as much as the programming industry can support. So either we accept that the only way to make your programming language experience any good is to get it picked up by one of the handful of giant companies that can fund those IDEs, or we have to be willing to at least start a promising language without an IDE and hope other advantages can make up for that shortcoming for some use cases, and eventually there'll be enough momentum that one of those giant companies will pick it up. I can't see what other way there is to advance the state of the art, unless your position is going to be that C# is perfect and there's no point trying to do better.

> I’m pretty sure that if in the future some programming language gonna become good enough to rule them all, that language will be much closer to modern C# than to modern Rust. Rust offloads a huge amount of complexity to developers

What complexity is that? I'd argue that the trait system is a noticeable improvement over what's available in C#, and not having exceptions makes code significantly easier to understand. On linearity I could go either way - in theory it's more work for the developer, but borrow-checker friendly code styles tend to just be good coding style. Most of the time I write the same code I'd write in C#, Scala, or anything else, and it just work - and when it doesn't either the error messages have been clear and the fix has been easy, or it became clear that I was genuinely very confused about the problem and needed to rethink my whole approach.

(But yeah actually GC is fine 100% of the time and Scala is already the one language to rule them all, people just haven't realised yet)

Your premise is wrong. Forgiving debt already in default absolutely costs something. It's not like the debt goes away when a borrower defaults. When they eventually get a job, they will still have to pay—unless we forgive the debt.

Forgiving the debt drives up tuition costs even further by changing the risk calculation for borrowers, making more borrowers willing to borrow ridiculous amounts and therefore increasing the amount of money available to schools.

Beyond that, forgiving the debt punishes all of those students who worked hard and sacrificed to pay off their debt, and rewards those who didn't.

This is a grossly unfair policy.
I genuinely don't want to take this to a negative place. So, please understand, I'm answering your question as best I can, and with positive intent.

I believe populism can be quite bad, which is part of why the founding fathers designed a representative democracy, rather than a direct democracy. They were all well schooled in Greek and Roman history, and were afraid of the demagogues of Athens, and of other Greek city states. They believed that the will of the masses could be ignorant and capricious, and should be moderated by wiser more responsible representatives. Of course, they believed that the masses must have some say, (as do I) but that listening to every popular whim may not be the best thing for our country.
FSD means the car has the ability to drive itself. It doesn't necessarily mean it can drive perfectly without accident. Thats why you still need to pay attention.
BitBar is really cool. You can get something up and running in no time and it's fun to come up with some small personal automations.

On this topic, does anyone know simple way on Mac to display a multiline text input pop-up?

I'm playing with making a BitBar app that lets you keep a timesheet of what you've done today that syncs with a cloud API. I want a system tray icon that when you click it, it pops up with your notes so far that you can then edit and save your changes.

I know you can use osascript to create an ugly text input pop-up but it gets dismissed when you hit enter which I don't want. I'm looking for something lightweight to setup. Likely using Node but would rather not have to require Electron.

CFTC Orders Coinbase Inc. To Pay $6.5M Penalty
Quoting from https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/06/16/things-that-sometimes-... on the subject of ECT:

"Electroconvulsive therapy gets a bad rap from old movies where we see people who “misbehave” in the mental institution getting what look like very painful electric shocks.

Modern electroconvulsive therapy is done with the patient sedated. You are pleasantly asleep, your limbs aren’t flailing about or anything, and it can be done on an outpatient basis with you going home as soon as you’re done.

There are a lot of worries about side effects. Some people experience some memory loss, especially of the couple of weeks before the treatment. Most of the time these memories come back. Sometimes they don’t. But how much do you want to remember the week when you were so depressed you needed ECT, anyway? Longer-term side effects are less well-known. Some people think a lot of ECT isn’t good for your brain, but if the effect exists it’s small enough that people are still debating whether or not they’ve really picked it up.

But the thing is, ECT really, really works. People get to the point where everything else has failed, and they’ve been on seven hundred different medications without feeling any better, and they’re ready to give up, and then they get ECT and start whistling happy songs and dancing the polka. I won’t say it works 100% of the time, because no medical treatment works 100% of the time. But in psychiatry, where expectations are always low, it’s the closest thing we’ve got to a miracle cure."
