Parent is probably using murder rates because murder is very unlikely to be unevenly enforced, with the implicit implication that these differences extend to other violent crimes (but the data there is muddied by differential enforcement).

Here is the strongest presentation of this argument that I've seen: https://randomcriticalanalysis.com/2015/11/16/racial-differe...

I don't have a well-formed opinion here, but IMO it's worth considering many possible combinations of factors.
> but I am curious how his account was terminated.

Most of the time the giants do not tell you what you done wrong. My son managed to get my Sony account banned for 2 months(from all online stuff including the PS Plus that I am I paid a year subscription), there is no way to appeal and the only thing Sony told me in the notification email is that it is about violence or sexual stuff , so fuck knows what t could be about , I know he shared some screenshots with weapons from a game - would be ironic to get flagged by game screenshots or it could be just malicious people reporting you (may idiotic kids are online playing Fortnite and are threatening each other with reports).

In my case i decided I will no longer buy any new product from Sony and I will probably jailbreak the console when I think the online features are no longer worth it.

>I don't understand why Tesla hasn't simply been ordered to stop calling these features Autopilot or FSD

They walked back, or qualified a lot of the initial claims and added mitigations to prevent their 'self-driving' systems from being used as such.

>Oh, and anyone who paid extra for these features should be given a refund, as those features were falsely advertised.

There may be some validity to this. Musk/Tesla certainly made explicit claims that existing cars have the hardware to achieve full autonomous driving via a future software patch.
I disagree. Piracy was and still is very much a service problem. Just because people would have access to DRM-free movies does not mean they would automatically fire up bittorrent and start trading torrent files with their friends. That's still far too inconvenient.

I have lots of DRM-free games on GOG for instance. So do people I know. We've never had a single thought about pirating these. We're grown ups, we don't have time for that kind of thing.

If you use iTunes, and "add to library," like I do, you'll see how often albums get removed or replaced or remixed. It's unnecessary and unnerving. The labels are constantly faffing about with albums. Every couple of months, I'll go to play an album, and find that it only has, say, 2 songs in it. Sometimes I can go back and re-add it to my library, sometimes, there's a new "remastered" copy, and sometimes those songs are just no longer available in iTunes. I pay for the subscription, and don't buy music. And I'm glad. I don't know why these changes wouldn't happen to me even if I had paid for it, but maybe that would be exempted? If someone can tell me that this doesn't happen if I buy the album, I would snatch up some of my favorites right away.
As another layman this seems like a good idea for the next mandatory safety feature now that driver assist is commoditized - lane keep, adaptive cruise and attention monitoring is enough to implement it.
I work in this industry, I talk to vendors, I see this stuff daily. If you want the manufacturing-side background, nikkei's semiconductor news has lots of material on this ( https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Tech/Semiconductors/ ) including the fabrication disasters that ruined NXP and Renesas. Go through the last few months to see it unfolding. For the other stuff, I can't give you public evidence, but I've been working with customers adapting their designs, and they've had confirmed orders from manufacturers delayed or cancelled, some citing prioritization of the car industry, others not giving any reason, but then auctioning their remaining stock out, with the final bids going to automakers at 8x the 2019 price. Microchip, a major vendor, introduced a program where they will provide prioritized product a year from now in exchange for non-cancelable non-refundable month-by-month demand visibility into the future ( https://www.microchip.com/content/dam/mchp/documents/announc... ). I don't know what sort of link you need, this is literally what I do every day.
I found that weird too, and saying "with enough data" is mathematically significant but practically meaningless.
I love via rail in canada and I used it both to travel between Toronto and Montreal and to travel all the way west to Edmonton. From my many travels I learned that while commuter rail (read go trains) can do well, long distance rail just doesn't make sense anymore. Neither financially nor practically. It's a two day trip from Toronto to Edmonton.

The trip from Toronto to Montreal is a full day and is worth it if you hate flying and want to avoid security. However as it gets used more and more they are adding more airport style security features taking away that benefit as well.

Now, when I travelled to Japan and rode the shinkansen I really enjoyed it and was amazed by how quickly I could get around. But I also saw how absurdly expensive it was and how without government support on top it fundamentally would be impossible except in the highest density corridors of Canada and the US.

I love trains. Absolutely adore them. But I cannot see how in the low density areas of North America they can remotely compete with cars or airlines.
I was wondering about further technical limitations, but that's definitely one as well.
Tesla is being squeezed on the 2 things its brand marketing is built on: EV and self-driving. I think it's going to be hard for them to compete as the major European and Japanese brands get into these segments with all their weight, with Chinese manufacturers just around the corner.
> Private companies are the only ones willing to make these investments in infrastructure

...because there's an anti-government cult that occupies a disproportionate number of government offices in the country.

"Bad" investments is exactly what government is for: things we'll all benefit from (including but not limited to broad economic contributions) but which market incentives don't align to produce.
That's interesting. My biggest struggle is waking up at the same time, how do you just not stay in bed or indefinitely snooze?
From my experiences at RailsCamp werewolf is a wonderful leveler, be you the local coding celebrity or a total newbie you could both join the fun and spar or join forces and create a shared narrative together.

As a railcamp (hackfest weekend event) organiser, I often encouraged everyone to take time on the first night to play a big werewolf game, it was an excellent bonding experience and lead to more collaboration and coding across the rest of the camp.

So I disagree, werewolf improves the camp IMHO.
Biggest reason to buy a Tesla seems to be the supercharger network. Where I live that's still a formidable reason.

Competitors are catching up, but slowly. I'd say Tesla still has 3-5 years of market dominance where I live due to superchargers.

So if I "buy" an Apple M1 series computer, am I renting it or buying it? The only thing Apple can do to hardware is to quit supporting it via software updates, but I am still free to use it with the last supported software as long as it runs. (Depending on make/model/build quality, that may actually stop before software support ends like the 2016-2017 MBPs.)
They have to justify the hefty price tag somehow. If the car drives itself and can actually earn you money by driving other people around, then it might be easier for some people to convince themselves that it isn't that expensive.

I'm not sure how a train is any better than a bus with a dedicated lane for travel for less than 100 miles. I really don't see how light rail is better than buses. Buses have so many more advantages. 1. easy rerouting to more busy lines 2. not blocked if one in front breaks down, 3. resale to other bus lines. 4. less up front cost. I think we could reinvent the bus to make it more comfortable and appealing.

Amtrak owns most of the Northeast Corridor[0] - except the section from New Haven to New Rochelle, which is owned by the State of CT and Metro North. Incidentally, there are the sections where the Acela slows to a crawl. This is also the most viable corridor for Amtrak.

They also own sections of other lines - including the New Haven-Springfield line[1].

So they just use a single judge instead? That is (obviously) not always superior.

What about a panel of highly-trained rational-evidence evaluators? This would absolutely be superior to laypeople... Except for the corruption potential
I find lane assist and adaptive cruise control incredibly nice if you frequently have two hour driving trips on the interstate. I can focus on watching the environment and cars around me, rather than spending a lot of effort on lane-keeping and making sure I'm not going faster than the car in front of me.

Sure, it doesn't work in heavy snow, but I also wouldn't trust it in heavy snow either. I appreciate that my car doesn't provide false confidence in dangerous conditions.

My other vehicle lacks any of the modern radar features, and the one time I did the same drive with that car was... surprisingly more stressful.
Much like roads are.

Please don't try to gaslight. I've refuted your baseless assertion that everything was all fine and dandy in India regarding it's struggle with the covid-19 pandemic in Feb/March. I've provided a reputable reference from that time that already showed great concern about the pending disaster, and even enumerates key factors that drove India's covid-19 infections absurd growth.

Either you deal with reality and facts, or refrain from posting disinformation and outright lies.

Also these tools and services do not develop communities: business users drop last-year tools like hot potatoes when a new cheaper or shit^ny one comes along.

How can they not know? If you see unexpected behavior in some subsystem, it should be easy to pinpoint.

I really like "the design of everyday things" by Donald Norman. It's more focused on design in general, than what you're asking for, but I think the fundamentals of design is a prerequisite to become a good UX/UI designers

It teaches several ways to prototype design, how to evaluate whether your design is efficient, and how to develop a design oriented mindset

It not only helped me make better designs, but also made me a better coder, because I started thinking about my code as a product to be used by others

It's actually worse for us since we are capitol equipment suppliers. It could literally be 3-4 years before we get paid since they won't pay until the equipment has a proven production rate/quality/other random metric. They will find just about any excuse to not sign off the IQ/OQ/PQ and if there are any delays in other equipment, or materials, or whatever then they don't pay.
> They walked back, or qualified a lot of the initial claims

The product names are fraudulent, there's no walking back when they're still called Autopilot (a term which in all other uses essentially does not require operator attention) and Full Self-Driving (which is definitely not what the feature is).

It's fraud, plain and simple. Until the features are renamed, Tesla continues to commit fraud.

Is that generally true for data science type tasks, though, where the "fast" in python is really numpy, pandas, etc?

But there's not really anything like numpy/pandas for it to bind to at the moment, is there? Meaning anything as broad in functionality, fast, mature, etc.
Then shouldn't the interview focus on identifying and mitigating those problematic nested loops?

For day jobs, I've done very little computer science relevant work. Instead, it's communication, coordination, code maintenance, infrastructure, verification, managing upwards, ad nauseum.

That includes greenfield development, when I invented entirely new solutions to old problems. Even during the bursts of hardest parts (creatively), the algorithms and such were maybe 5% of the effort.
In my experience lisps are orders of magnitude more complex than Rust, and require extensive debugging to be certain that the code works. Rust is mostly a compile and run experience, idiomatic Rust is hard to screw up.

Well I'm pretty sure how a train is better than a bus.

High speed trains are three times as fast.
Frankly, even as poor as our rail infrastructure is, there's still a lot to be said for train travel.

A couple years my wife and I went Birmingham to New Orleans for $150 round trip on Amtrak. Airfare on the same route was $600, and I would have paid $150 in parking alone in downtown New Orleans. Moreover, the time difference between train, driving or flying was not all that different. The train was scheduled at seven hours, about the same as driving time with stops. And air travel would have been about the same once you factor in getting to the airport early, two flights with a layover in Atlanta, and getting from the airport to downtown.

It’s also a whole heck of a lot more pleasant than flying. 50” of seat pitch, width of a first class seat, hot food, alcohol, plenty of room to walk around, interesting people to talk to, no needless security theater, no need to get to the station 30 minutes early, no need to worry about baggage fees or weights.

Before the pandemic hit, we were planning on doing the Empire Builder from Chicago to Portland. For the three of us (me, wife, daughter) in a bedroom was $1100. Expensive, but factoring in transportation, room and food for 2.5 days for 3, it’s not a bad deal. And you get to sit back, watch the scenery, read, nap, etc.

I mean yeah, if I need to travel across the country quickly, an airplane will always win. But airlines have seemingly gone out of their way over the last 20 years to make flying as miserable as possible to squeeze every cent out of customers. If I can afford to take some time and the train is an option, I will always choose the train based solely on it being less miserable than flying has become.
It's highly unlikely that cars will be able to replace drivers in general in five years too. I don't think Elon is stupid, and I think he's fully aware of that. He's just getting rich by tricking customers.

I don't get why Tesla is allowed to continue like this. There is two companies I know of that can do basically whatever they want without consequences: Tesla and Apple. Their users believes anything they say.
> their hypeman isn't doing them any favours

I disagree with that, their equity is doing quite nicely and without the hype I doubt it would've been possible to this extent.
