I had to dig into a niche TLS library a few months ago and was aghast at the 50000 line source files with massive God functions all over the place. I don't know how it ever was allowed to get that fubared or how they maintain it all.
Credit scams and identity theft are a problem for us because right now the banks don't have to pay any cost of those mistakes. The most direct way to solve the problem of credit scams and identity theft is to put the onus on the bank who opened up the account incorrectly to assume responsibility for the debt, not on the person whose account details were spoofed to create the account.

Based on the spelling of favour I am assuming you are not from the US. In the US, fixed rate mortgages for between 15-30 years are very much the norm, with 30 year mortgages much more common than 15. You can absolutely get a 30 year loan up to $550k ($820k in California) for well under 3% these days.

A 5/1 ARM that changes rates after 5 years is a product you can buy, but it would only be used in niche scenarios.

I understand it is not like that in most other countries and I'm not 100% sure why. Something to do with the federal government backstopping most mortgages I think.

> you MUST enable a passcode on your Apple Watch to use this feature at all (and they're relying on the Apple Watch being less aggressive to re-lock than the iPhone).

When you refer to the Apple Watch being “less aggressive to re-lock,” you’re really overselling it. The Watch does not re-lock for the entire time it’s on your wrist after you first unlock it (which you can do with FaceID on your phone). I go weeks without typing a passcode on my Watch.
I'm in Sydney.

I've had one lock-down for about 6 weeks, starting on 30th March 2020. That's been the extent of it for me.

Lockdown meant the family stayed home with the children doing school remotely. We were allowed out for exercise (family group only) within a few km radius, supermarket shopping, medical and looking after aged family. I could have gone to an office, but was able to work remotely.

Other areas have been through more due to localised outbreaks. Parts of Northern Sydney did several weeks around Christmas due to an outbreak. Victoria's second wave was the most intense lock-down. That went for about 3 months. It was tough on the Victorians I know, but as a comparison at the beginning of the lock-down the UK and Victoria were in a similar situation. By the end of the lock-down Victoria was on zero cases whilst the UK was at risk of the NHS being overwhelmed.

We've now settled into a pattern of 3-day lock-downs at the first sign of any outbreak, these being lifted if there is no further transmission detected during the lock-down. So far there have been about 4-5 of these in different state capitals but all have been lifted at the end of the 3 days.

Vaccinewise, Australia's dropped the ball a bit. The government under spent on mRNA vaccines and didn't invest in local mRNA manufacturing. We're making the AZ vaccine locally, but there turns out to be a low risk of blood clots. Given the low COVID numbers it's borderline whether the risk of blood clots is outweighed by the risk of COVID for under 50s. The medical recommendation is for mRNA over AZ, but decent supplies won't arrive until the end of the year. I mention this as low COVID numbers makes decisions about vaccines more complicated.

Life here is "normal" in that there aren't many restrictions beyond overseas travel, but a significant number of people are choosing not to go back to their old ways, partly due to COVID risk and partly because they have figured out that some of their previous activities weren't actually that important and that life is good without them.

Just not true.

In 1957, a full size system was successfully demonstrated by RCA Labs and the State of Nebraska on a 400-foot strip of public highway at the intersection of U.S. Route 77 and Nebraska Highway 2, then just outside Lincoln, Nebraska. A series of experimental detector circuits buried in the pavement was paired with a series of lights along the edge of the road. The detector circuits were able to send impulses to guide the car and determine the presence and velocity of any metallic vehicle on its surface. A previous test installation of the system in September 1954 along U.S. Route 73 and U.S. Route 75 in Cass County, Nebraska, was utilized as an experimental traffic counter. It was developed in collaboration with General Motors, who provided two standard car models with equipment consisting of special radio receivers and audible and visual warning devices that were able to simulate automatic steering, acceleration, and brake control.
He was asked that question, but he didn't say he was confident they would reach level five this year.

He did refer to the current FSD beta, which is a level two system, and expressed confidence in the technical roadmap and progress they are making between each beta iteration. Then he talked about the level of reliability they would need, capabilities of the system, and challenges they have.

I guess, I'm confident based on my understanding of the technical roadmap and the progress that we're making between each beta iteration. Yes. As I'm saying, it's not remarkable at all for the car to completely drive you from one location to another through a series of complex intersections. It's now about just improving the corner case reliability and getting it to 99.9999% reliable with respect to an accident.

Basically, we need to get it to better than human bio factor at least 100% or 200%. And the business happening rapidly because we've got so much training data with all the cars in the field. And the software is improving dramatically. The -- we also write the software for labeling.

And I'll say it's quite challenging. We're moving everything toward video labeling. So all video labeling for video inference and so there are still a few of new met that need to be upgraded to video training inference. And really, as we transition to each net to video, the performances become exceptional.

So this is like a hot thing. The video -- the labeling software that we work for, video labeling, making that better has a huge effect on the efficiency of labeling. And then, of course, the Holy Grail is auto labeling. So we're -- we put a lot of work into having the labeling tool to be more efficient when we used, as well as enabling auto labeling where we can.Dojo is a training supercomputer.

We believe it will be -- we think it may be the best neural net training computer in the world by possibly an order of magnitude. So it is a whole thing in and of itself. And this is offer potentially as a service. So some of the others need neural net training, we're not trying to keep it to ourselves.

So I think there could be a whole line of business in and of itself. And then, of course, for training vast amounts video data and getting the reliability from 100% to 200% better than average human to 2,000% better than average human. So that will be very helpful in that regard.

These kind of blanket no politics policies are typically direct responses to obnoxious behavior.

No, modes of rationing and discovering preferential subjective values are necessary. That does not imply what is meant with money, which is infinitely durable, portable, fungible and uniform.

Already rationing systems which do not fit the definition of money are being employed. For example in the post-pandemic period the PBoC has issued consumption tokens with an expiration date.

You are simply confusing the idea of a scarce token with money. Money is in the former category but the former category is not money. The necessary function is to translate consumer preferences into numeric terms. For this fungibility and durability is not necessary.

Shareholders don’t care about the reputation or quality of service of the company? That seems a stretch.

As I’ve commented elsewhere I don’t entirely agree with Friedman because I think some social spending can make commercial sense for a company, but I think what he’s saying is just a pretty direct refinement of the exact same points Smith made.
Businesses stock sanitizer because it's cheap and compatible with the status quo ante, not because there's any reason to believe it's effective.
> One also wonders why reforming the credit bureaus is not a bipartisan priority in Washington.

This is a classic “concentrated benefits, disperse costs” problem that is really hard to solve in society. The three credit bureaus have a huge incentive to maintain the status quo, while millions of people have a small incentive to change it. The three credit bureaus are going to fight a lot harder to maintain the system than everyone else will fight to reform it.

It is the same thing you see with our tax system. For individuals, it just isn’t worth it to try to change the system. The effort would cost more than the gain, but the overall cost to society is great.
I don't agree. If you could ask a prime Newton if he'd be satisfied converting lead into gold in a cost prohibitive manner I would bet any amount of money his answer would be a quick "no". The goal of alchemy was to convert lead into gold in a way that made the discoverer rich, it's just not proper to say the second part explicitly, but I believe most people understand it that way.

No. If your parents could afford to emigrate (vs being refugees) they were not poor.
Money is not the only device that can translate relative preferences.

Just because things are scarce does not mean that non-scarce tools such as software must be bent to monetary incentives that reduce their value.

Ask HN: Would it be unethical for me to have two jobs at once?
I've been 100% remote since COVID, and my current workload is extremely minimal. I'm able to complete my sprint's worth of tasks in a few hours. Would there be anything wrong with me looking for another remote role and holding two full time jobs at once? Obviously if it ever became an issue where I wasn't completing my work, I'd have to leave one. But has anyone else done this?

I think you missed the point which wasn't to express offense but to disagree based on differential priorities. It's a Maslow's hierarchy of needs thing: if lower needs are not meet, some of the advice would be detrimental if followed.

Chapter 7 has an abuse provision which people also have to pass or the bankruptcy can be turned into a Chapter 11 or Chapter 13 (or gets dismissed outright).

To quote the law directly-

> After notice and a hearing, the court, on its own motion or on a motion by the United States trustee, trustee (or bankruptcy administrator, if any), or any party in interest, may dismiss a case filed by an individual debtor under this chapter whose debts are primarily consumer debts, or, with the debtor’s consent, convert such a case to a case under chapter 11 or 13 of this title, if it finds that the granting of relief would be an abuse of the provisions of this chapter.

When I went to university in the UK for CS (20 years ago), my total student loan debt was close to zero. Indeed, they gave me money to study.

Even now, the cost for something like a medical degree is negligible compared to the USA where $400K for medical school and undergraduate is not unheard of. (A medical degree is an undergraduate degree in the UK)
For starters there are two types of loans in the system, federal(92%) and private(8%).

Federal is less of a loan, but more a subsidy that you have to repay at later date if you can. There is no market mechanism involved, government sets the terms and rules. Overall if you have your shit together(push paperwork on time), it is nearly impossible to default on that type of a loan. So for all intense and purposes, those loans are just another hidden tax.

The benefits of this system is arguable, but for America where people hate to pay taxes and government needs to put people through college, this is not a bad option.

But... There are two massive problems in the system, private loans and the way colleges charge for education. First a lot of colleges are free to set fees any way they like, as a result in many cases federal loans are not enough and people are forced to take private loans. The problem with private loans, that they are completely market driven(higher, fees, higher costs, depends on your assets etc), but you can't get rid off them via bankruptcy which is absolutely nuts.

Overall the whole system regardless of country is very unfair and regressive in nature(poor people pay more then rich) and represents an example of broken social contract between government and its citizens. As student debt skyrockets, it also impacts the broader economy and forces people to go into debt to pay day to day expenses.

But maybe it is all by design. It is much easier to control people if they are in debt very early on in live vs debt free.
Mandated Constitutional carry is probably a pipe dream. If SCOTUS rules against New York (and that isn't guaranteed by any means) I would expect that they tackle the "good cause" requirements that many states have for permits, where "good cause" often means "are you a personal friend or have you donated a large sum to my political campaign." Some states like Hawaii have the "good cause" language in their permitting system but they don't consider any reason at all to be "good cause" and blanket deny all applications.
The little squares/rectangles mindset is more or less appropriate depending on the context. This paper is unfairly dismissive of the contexts where the little squares mindset is clearly better than the point samples or gaussians.

I dunno, I just looked closely at my OLED TV and it’s point lights (at least to the resolution of my own eyes), not tiny squares butting up to each other, so I think the lesson of treating your images as samples of a continuous function still applies.
How? They have bargaining power with a monopoly share. But it really saves bandwidth and avoids patent fees to unrelated companies. What part is the abuse? Should they have to support mpeg1 too if someone wants to use an old chip at enormous bandwidth costs?

If it is about their DRM and not their freely licensed VP9 then I could see where it get into abuse if competitors can't use it. And I see where standing up the music service using youtube and messing up the system voice search is abusive.
The example I would think of is getting a budget lawyer for something important.

You need someone that can give the time and attention - except you would be better off with a human that can do the right thing poorly, instead of a robot that can do the wrong thing well.
They could also be wrong.

I think the assumption that it's a specifically lie else really highlights where these ideas are coming from.
So again, you want to get the state into the product manufacturing business. Historically that really doesn’t work out very well. What makes you think this would be cheaper or more efficient than the private sector? Why not do it for other products?

I’m not against the state being a service provider. In many cases this makes sense. I’m a Brit but even though I’m a conservative I support the NHS, it just works and is dramatically more efficient than the US model. Manufacturing is another matter though. State run manufacturing has a terrible track record over here, and in fact almost everywhere.
Here in Norway, we have this system called BankID - it's a signing system where you can sign documents, and it tends to work great. These days, you can pretty much sign _any_ documents, no mater how important, via the BankID authentication system. It's obviously also 2FA.

But still, it does manage to get abused. Unfaithful relatives / spouses / colleagues / etc. can manage to get hold of your password and device, take out loans or buy stuff, and you're 100% in the jam for it. We get cases from time to time where people are basically held accountable for hundreds of thousands in credit/consumer debt, because someone used their signatures to take out those loans. And probably 99 / 100 times, they lose in court, against the banks.

The banks will argue that if they were held responsible for such actions, the modern fast-tracked system would halt to a grind. It'd be like in the old days where you needed to show up in person, with all your financials, and carefully go through everything just to get a small-ish loan.
Do we need the whole face? Could it work with a quorum of points?

Few things: 1 file != sloppy code. remoteok.io, like nomadslist, is fundamentally much more about marketing and network effects than the software. While that in and of itself is a lesson, sometimes a worthwhile idea is more complicated than a job board, or even what one can throw together for a hackathon.

I feel a major problem in the culture of the programming community is that we feel the need for this kind of click-bait conviction. A bit too many blog posts fit the format "Nobody cares about your _____... Ultimately, there is no right or wrong approach."

Are you saying you'd prefer to talk about politics, at work? Because it sounds like you consider this to be a political issue, that you'd like addressed.
Seems pretty clear to me that they mean general political discussions and not those that relate to the company. Imagine being on a team where there are differing opinions on the Israel/Palestine conflict, and it keeps getting brought up in threads? You think that team is going to gel?
