If there was no actual spying, then there's no victim.

If someone gets pickpocketed on the subway, saying "You should have protected yourself better" is victim blaming, sure. But if someone doesn't get pickpocketed and then points out how there was a foreigner sitting right next to them who could, theoretically, have pickpocketed them, should they have chosen, and while the foreigner didn't pickpocket them this time, you know how those foreigners are... then "Why didn't you just get up and sit somewhere else if he bothered you" is a particularly polite form of what you perhaps ought to tell them.
Well done! I often think back to times not so long ago when we all did not have great cameras with us. Things like this make me realize just how much we use them, and probably will use them even more as time goes on.
Yeh try TinySeed - the help is likely more valuable than the money, which in itself likely helps a great deal.
Look at gmail: I pay $60/year-ish for Fastmail. Gmail is at least that good. So is the purpose of gmail to have a cross device stable identifier? Absolutely. Are people realizing tons of value from it for free? Also yes.
I think they are/were, or at least some of them have been at some points in time during which they had a $1 salary. Although maybe there are different definitions of the word manager and I'm not really familiar with them all.

That was said when Larry Page and Sergey Brin were stepping back. So it seems to imply their old roles were management roles and their new roles aren't.
I've noticed that when I feel like shit, I'm hard on myself over my diet.
Sure, "you" - as a reader of hacker news - can use Firefox (or a chromium fork). The problem is that most normal users have no idea about any of this stuff, and no understanding of why they might want to switch.
> I was not aware that the infrastructure bill favors regenerative Ag.

It's pretty vague, to be honest; but from what I've gathered many of its proponents are using it as a phase-in from the core of the New Green Deal, and is essentially a massive works project.

As a former farmer (Biodynamic) myself and a person that did Supply Chain I think that critical infrastructure doesn't just apply to the roads upon which freight travels on, also having a horrible factory farmed centralized food system is what created shortages during COVID and were revealed for all to see. There is no denying it that this model cannot function with just the slight amount of variance, 3PL continued to work and even improved during COVID in some industries, but none of that mattered in the end.

This incidentally led to crop losses due to a lack of labour, and many unnecessary deaths of workers like at meat packing plants had a shocking enough effect that made CSA memberships (shares in the Farm that grant you boxes of vegetables) the more viable option and revealed something that I knew from experience in the aforementioned industries (also culinary): the less food travels, the more savings can be passed on to the consumer, but also the higher a premium it has to it's targeted demographic.

The reason I highlight this is because critical infrastructure, as in the stuff that is of national security, after COVID has to include manufacturing of things like PPE and medical equipment as well as farming in a far more distributed manner--ventilators were just one of the examples of how far the US had fallen.

And the truth is the Department of Ag already has a lot of sound programs to help young, first time farmers: but a concerted effort to incentivize them with low to no interest loans for farming equipment and livestock for 10+ years would be a boon for so many wanting to get into farming and revitalize so many disenfranchised communities that were displaced in the 80s when mega pharmacorps forced their way that led to this big Ag system.

Simply removing a lot of subsidies to corn, soy farmers and using that to float the low interest loans would pay for itself in added revenue, moreover many farmers markets are now obligated to accept things like WIC and foodstamp programs to be accepted so we can readily pivot a low income community's diet in a decade, as seen in Detroit.

I'd include water/desalination as well, but to be honest I'm not sure that will be explored this go around, but may at a later time.
His comment added a lot more to the conversation that your comment (or mine.)

Sometimes pedantism is important and useful. In this case I have no problems imagining that we could reframe our understanding of how to design traffic systems by reframing the language we use to talk about how those systems fail.

Not that I necessarily agree, but I don't think you can dismiss the argument by waving your hands and saying "pedantism is bad".
Compulsive Techdirt hatred is a weird thing. Without fail, I see it 'evidenced' with w/ unsubstantiated innuendos - pretty much what the haters say TD does.
Isn't this, what a housing cooperative are about? They are very common in Germany and seen as valuable cultural heritage.

Ah that's a good idea - I have actually played around with that. When they released support for running lambdas with container images I used it to have a go at making a custom lambda image.

I didn't join the dots up for this use case though, thanks!
I still wonder why Tesla doesn't use lithium ferrophosphate or another type of battery that won't catch fire. Shouldn't the safety risk of the batteries they use outweigh the slight increase in energy density?
I don't think that what this article is describing is similar at all to Eastern Europe-style public housing. The US also had a big experiment in public housing in the 20th century, that also had a lot of bad results.
No need to even go there. Elena Ferrante got made a few years ago simply by tracking royalties payments. Most lit pseudonyms are broken by simple gossip.
We need people to live where the jobs are. Yes you can also move jobs but that’s basically the why. Also you have a higher probability of advancing from poverty to middle class or even high income living in the Bay Area.

Living in my team's bubble i thought everyone runs or tries to run parallel environments: prod, staging, dev, but also an individual (person) or feature env. Why? Because there's no emulator or documentation that will teach you real behavior. Like others have said, AWS seems out of this world. Just like GCP and Azure i might add. Some things you don't expect and they mesmerize you how smart they are. Some you expect and you can't fathom how come you're the "only" one screaming. Random thought: this is how i ended up logging all I bumped into into "Fl-aws" https://github.com/andreineculau/fl-aws

Back to the point: reality is that many build their AWS environment (prod) manually, maybe they duplicate once (dev) also manually, maybe they use some automation for their "code" (lambda) but that's it. This implies it's practically impossible to run end-to-end tests. You can't do that in prod for obvious reasons and you can't do it in dev either - you have many devs queueing, maybe dev is not in sync with prod etc.

My team ran cloudformation end-to-end. We actually orchestrated and wrapped cloudformation (this is yet another topic for not using terraform etc) so that if smth couldn't be done in CFN, it would still be automated and reproducible. Long story short, in 30 minutes (it was this long because we had to wait for cloudfront etc) we had a new environment, ready to play with. A total sandbox. Every dev had their own and it was easy to deploy from a release artifact or a git branch to this environment. Similarly you could create a separate env for more elaborate changes to the architecture. And test in a live environment.

Finally to your question: how do you test end-to-end?

If we talk about lambdas because that's where the business logic lies in a "serverless" architecture, then the answer is by calling the system which will eventually call your lambda/s along the way. If your lambda ia sitting behind AWS gateway, then fire an http request. Is it triggered when objects land on S3? Then push some object to S3. How do you assert? Just the same - http response, S3 changes etc. Not to mention you can also check cloudwatch for specific log entries (though they are not instant).

With this type of a setup, which sounds complex, but it is not since it is 100% reproducible (also from project to project - I had several), adding this proxy-to-my-dev-machine lambda would mean I can make local changes and then fire unit AND end-to-end tests without any changes pushed to AWS, which is the main time/energy consumer imo.

PS: sorry for the wall of text. Like i said i recently realized that the development realities have huge discrepancies, so i tried to summarize my reality :)
The general theme of my advice is that communicating in a clear, precise, and reproducible manner (reproducible meaning where someone can back-brief what you just said and get it right) is one of the most important things to learn/know how to do if you work in tech - or any industry, really, but Tech in particular. I didn't come from a technical background, unless you count math, and that has been the go-to advice I give people because it does two things: 1) it builds up your own confidence in what you're saying as well as others' confidence in you, and 2) you will actually end up learning more about the subject as you strive to be evermore accurate in what you're saying.

If English is not your first language, then this advice is doubly important because it will help you improve.

Edit: sorry, I didn't actually answer your question.

>Do you, in your organization, have an active meeting culture with feedback for meetings?

Yes, but I'm a little more senior now and I think focusing on the feedback mechanism itself is missing the forest for the trees. Communication is always King, wherever you go. It seems like, from your description of the situation, you have a great opportunity to improve the communication within your organization overall, if people are still reverting to "just schedule a meeting".
> Simple as that.

Not quite? Maybe this will add more bits that will be useful for fingerprinting, but this seems like an absurd way for google to go about making it easier to fingerprint browsers, considering that most browsing happens over Chrome where Google can see what pages everyone visits anyway. And Google is currently proposing adding anti-fingerprinting measures [0] that observe how many bits of information a website has gathered and block API access after it reaches a certain threshold.

A straightforward analysis of Google's motivations makes sense here: they want to keep their ad business profitable while improving their reputation on privacy. FLOC allows targeted ads, keeping their business profitable, and doesn't rely 3rd parties observing your browser history, improving privacy.

From https://web.dev/floc/ :

> With FLoC, the browser does not share its browsing history with the FLoC service or anyone else. The browser, on the user's device, works out which cohort it belongs to. The user's browsing history never leaves the device.

> There will be thousands of browsers in each cohort.

A further privacy improvement is that they're designing it to avoid leaking whether you're a member of a "sensivitive category":

> The clustering algorithm used to construct the FLoC cohort model is designed to evaluate whether a cohort may be correlated with sensitive categories, without learning why a category is sensitive. Cohorts that might reveal sensitive categories such as race, sexuality, or medical history will be blocked. In other words, when working out its cohort, a browser will only be choosing between cohorts that won't reveal sensitive categories.

Next let’s try asking HN how much they spent on their weddings...
Rat food or slow food? If rats get dumber from eating any human food then this study hasn't said anything.
I’m pretty sure they were being sarcastic. There is no practical way to get close to a fiery auto crash and attach a bunch of fans to a currently on fire battery.
At this rate I'm going to make a bot to automatically mint an NFT of my reaction to every NFT thread on the HN frontpage.
And the alternatives that do exist are too damn expensive. Like celebrities hiring professional chefs for their ultra diet. Or healthy food subscription services that often have questionable quality.

I was really hoping that with food home delivery startups this situation will be solved. But alas, most restaurants optimize for cost as you mentioned.
The author's proposal is laid out in his book, The Affordable City. Unlike many policy books, the table of contents, available at the publisher's site, is both detailed and descriptive, and does convey the outline of his proposals:

The ebook is a $5 download, which I'd strongly encourage for the curious.
My apologies to nik12795 if he felt that way, it certainly wasn't meant to be condescending at all.

It's really impressive what he archived there, not only the image recognition, considering the high speed of certain parts of the video, but also the hardware implementation.

It was my mistake to only focus so much on the code-thing. Thanks for pointing it out.
Which makes what Tesla calls “autopilot” all the more appropriate IMO. Both will get you _most_ of the way from A to B, while you have to pay very close attention at any critical point, and generally supervise it at all times.
> Not getting a chance to ask these questions is only the fault of the interviewee.

This isn't really an accurate statement, the asymmetry of the entire process ensures you will never really have the answers you need. Interviews grill you on everything you've done. When you ask about culture, they will invariably say "it's awesome" or some other vague response because they are the ones with the power in the relationship. They are not really under any onus or responsibility to answer any direct question or field specifics. "It's a good company, you want to work here" and that's about it. 5 min at the end is all you get and it's not even guaranteed to be anything other than a sales pitch.
UFOs, "of course".

More seriously, I think it's more likely that we'll eventually find a bunch of high-profile cases were built with "parallel construction".

It seems strange to publish a “modern guide to OAuth” without at least a nod to OpenID connect. Disclaimer: skimmed the overview. Currently reading the whole thing.
This is a tangent about the Simpson's Paradox that may or may not be relevant to Autopilot. Specifically about the archetypal example given in the Wikipedia article, "UC Berkeley gender bias":

Even if the deeper data analysis showed a "small but statistically significant bias in favor of women" in terms of admission rates in individual departments, it doesn't prove that there isn't another kind of bias behind the overall admission rates (44% for men, 35% for women). Specifically, why doesn't the university rebalance department sizes, so that all departments are similarly competitive? It would result in the overall male and female rates converging. It would also make a lot of sense from a supply and demand perspective. It is entirely possible that there was no urgency or desire to do so because of bias on the part of administrators, who were mostly male.

Might the quickness to dismiss the issue as a Simpson Paradox reflect another bias?
Here is a great example that came up last week. Almost exactly like the OP. (It is even an onclick!)

I have a C# .net MVC web project. All of the JS, .cshtml templates and C# controllers are in the same visual studio solution. So it has complete vision into the code.

So the boundary is from cshtml template to javascript function and then another one from the js function (ajax call) to C# controller.

Visual studio has complete vision, but loses the connection at each boundary, so intellisense says that the C# controller function is never called.

I am not criticizing Visual Studio, it is a great tool, but this is a hard problem.
Without commenting on any other part, I don't get what you're saying about provenance. They're just using a word correctly.
Contrary to another commenter here, I would suggest learning a bit about selling to businesses before (or even instead of) looking to raise money.

Go on YouTube and watch some MicroConf videos. Most of the most popular videos are exactly this theme.
Credit score is correlated with personality traits such as conscientiousness, risk-taking, etc, which in turn influence driving safety
I guess a better question is, why is the Banksy stencil something that needs to be protected, but the work by the unknown street artist not.

Because Banksy is a famous brand, and his work has big price tags attached to it.

The whole thing is totally unique and fascinating. Banksy has developed his concept so well. He clearly also acknowledges the absurdity of the situation. His self shredding painting is clearly a comment on the contradiction between the ephemeral and the valuable.

Street art is inherently ephemeral. It's the wild west. There are no rules (although sometimes etiquette), because by its very nature it is breaking the rules.

Seeing newspaper articles where people are talking about a Banksy piece having been "vandalised", or that someone cutting out a piece of their wall to sell it is "stealing something that belongs to the community".

At the same time, street art in general is viewed as vandalism. The law doesn't try to make distinctions based on the artistic merit of a specific bit of unauthorised public space modification.

But money and fame, that's something anyone can understand! If something is worth money, then it's good. You painted on my wall! How lucky I am! Oh yeah and the pictures great too, what a clever image!

I personally think his work is pretty good. But much more interesting is how society has reacted to it.
We have another thread actively discusses potential issues with Google's FloC [0], which is only a proposal at this time, no harm done yet. Do you think Huawei/China is less of a potential thread than Google? If not why do you think there is no story here?

If Microsoft shifts gears they will annihilate you. Would you want to work on something with that threat looming over your head?

It is a no-win situation: if you do nothing, MS will continue doing little, if you push, then you risk them getting their ... together making your work irrelevant. I put this paragraph here because I don't want people pointing at this a year from now "you were wrong, we did nothing and see WinGet is still nowhere".

> Shortly after being charged with espionage, Snowden flew to Russia, where he was granted asylum, then residency.

The article seems neutral about Snowden, but this characterization of events is bad reporting.

He did not fly with the intent of staying in Russia. He was grounded and his passport revoked by the US gov. mid travel, stranding him in Russia, in the airport, for over a month.

Eventually Russia granted him long term status there.
Yeah, I guess that's the logical conclusion. I'd naively expect that the decreased profitability of an asset would decrease its market value, but the owner, banks and government are all interested in keeping the prices high, so instead of offloading less lucrative properties at cheaper prices, the rents get increased :/
I've rented most of my adult life, never did the landlords not be assholes. There must be a better way.
That's an interesting problem. The right answer mostly depends on the distribution of crashes at time t since deactivating autopilot. I would personally guess the relevance of autopilot fades to near 0 once you're 30 seconds since deactivation for 99.9% of crashes.

5 feels a little too aggressive, but would probably capture the majority of the true positives. I would have picked 10-15 seconds based on my gut.
...You realize you can do 90% of those usecases on your own hardware, with your own tools, within your own infratructure, with complete visibility into every bit without Amazon right?

I think the true geniuses are the ones who spent so much time trying to sell people on "Server Admin is hard, lets hire it out!" as well as building the billing and metering systems.

In a gold rush, screw panning, sell shovels (and pans).
A human and Autopilot working together is safer than just a human driving. Autopilot by itself is currently less safe than just a human driving (which is why it's still level 2). There's no mixed messaging.
You have to assume the network can eavesdrop. Just goes to show the importance of end-to-end encryption.
The asymmetry of information the GP describes boils down to the asymmetry of power between employer and candidate.

You aimed to resolve that uncomfortable tension by exaggerating the power of the candidate. In fantasy, a "good hire" is a rockstar; an amazing, fantastic individual who exists on the same plane as their paymaster. Of course, this one person and this group of people see eye-to-eye; they're equals!

In reality, particularly in the job realities outside of software engineering, candidates and employers are not equals. The applicant is the supplicant; they compete to do one job for a low price and at low risk to the company. Rejection for that candidate is hardship: a month without a paycheck, a month of uncertainty. Whereas rejection for the average company is just another process, a few more days filling a recruitment pipeline.

Such disparity sets the stage for the interview and beyond: the candidate refrains from poking into the gray areas of company for fear of losing the offer, and the company rigorously dissects the candidate for their own enjoyment. Maybe, once the candidate starts the job and sees the company's ugliness, they'll question their decision. But in most cases I've seen, the employee bows to the simple truth that they need their employers more than their employers need them.

Hey! So the consulting gig is my day job. I’ve been working with no-code platforms for more than a decade, and this client was for one of the projects assigned to me. I’m grateful because consulting is a really good way to look for new ideas in the marketplace since you’re always interfacing with customers and talking about their issues, sometimes in great detail. PriceTable was born out of one such project.

But what guarantee is there that lockdown would prevent this?

Peru has had strict lockdowns, but their COVID deaths are about the same as Brazil, when adjusted by population size.

The same in Europe - Sweden actually has fewer deaths than strict lockdown countries.

Wouldn't it be simpler for Brazilian society to just properly fund and manage healthcare (which it sounds like is the primary problem) rather than ceasing most economic, public, and social activity as part of lockdown?
