What a hideous mask. I find it hard enough communicating via mask with strangers on the street. There's an anxious feeling that goes with the proximity and the infractions of social distancing. Now imagine all that while looking like Scorpion from mortal kombat.
I would be in favor of a different approach: a merchant should not, under any circumstances, be able to remove money from an account, charge a credit card, or otherwise take money from someone without the explicit authorization of the customer. In this context, explicit means one of two things:

1. The customer intentionally authorized that specific transaction. A specific transaction means one transaction. If a merchant wants to use this approach, they need to ask for authorization each time they charge.

2. The merchant may register a subscription or other recurring charge arrangement with the customer’s bank or card provider. The customer must explicitly authorize this registration at the time it occurs and may, by contacting their bank, revoke the authorization at any time. The merchant may not recreate the authorization without the customer re-authorizing it at the time of creation.

Eventually, the whole pull model of money transfers needs to go away. Taking money from someone by knowing their account number is nonsensical and should not be possible.
At this point, I'm probably more interested in improving highway assistive systems.

But, yes, there are many use cases that go by the wayside if you don't have reliable door-to-door driving without human input.

There are questions about both whether the current sensor package is sufficient and even bigger questions about whether an upgrade to FSD happens in the life of the vehicle. (My money would be on not.)
> Donald Trump: I believe Cuba is responsible. Swiftly expels Cuban diplomats from the US and restricts travel to Cuba.

Regardless of what has been injuring people, it is quite clear that the US has blamed what happened on Cuba and took decisive political actions, without evidence to support Cuba’s involvement. It is par for the course with how they’ve treated Cuba in the past.
>Total cost for phone and 1000 SMS messages is <$100.

That's a good plan. Tracfone is roughly $10 a month for a smartphone, but what I wish existed was (a) a really cheap device and plan that was SMS-only and (b) people would only use SMS.

Agreed, sorry for editing after you replied.
Since random accesses across the internet are really slow, for this kind of fairly small table (where SQLite stores the row data inline within the B-Tree of the table) it basically fetches the whole content for each row - so even if you query only the long_name and country_code column, it will in fact fetch the data of all 29 columns in that table.

If you want it to fetch less data for querying a subset of columns, you could create create an index on those columns - then SQLite will do an COVERING INDEX scan and thus read only the necessary data (with the B-Tree itself and the start / end page alignment being the only overhead).
My horror in reading this is that I, a male engineer, have probably been the Dick at some point in my career.

Look, you have your opinion, I have mine, but It's a decent app. I will be providing feedback to them -as a paying subscriber, there's a good chance my feedback will be heard.

Yeah, in the US avocado is seen more as an ingredient in savory food items, not as a fruit.

No one answered you about avocado toast, but it's literally what it sounds like. Slice some avocado, put it on toast, typically with a poached egg and some seasonings of choice. It's seen as a quick healthy meat free breakfast or lunch that still has a sort of richness to it. It became a fad with younger people after restaurants realized it could be a real money maker.

Betting that it'd work and increase the value of your car. And Musk is still selling that it'll work really soon now (of course, he also said it'd drive across the country by itself by 2018):

2020 Q4 Earnings call, 27th Jan 2021 (according to https://www.fool.com/earnings/call-transcripts/2021/01/27/te...)

Musk: So -- and this is -- basically I'm highly confident the car will drive itself for the reliability in excess of a human this year. [...]

<later>

Director of Investor Relations: [...] The next question is, why are you confident Tesla will achieve Level 5 autonomy in 2021? [...]

Musk: I guess, I'm confident based on my understanding of the technical roadmap and the progress that we're making between each beta iteration.

>We speak different languages that alone prevents it from happening.//

I recall some people from Netherlands getting upset that English was becoming quite prolific to the point that University courses are sometimes held in English.

I think this happens to some extent in other countries in EU too?

Germany, Spain, and France seem highly unlikely to adopt English without a fight - not sure about other countries. But I wouldn't rule out some movement towards greater dominance of major languages.
You're both right - but about different kinds of software.

I believe the GP post was thinking an application which has some heavy computational kernel to it, where most of the processor time (and other resources) are spent - with a lot of other code for UI, configuration, some parsing etc.

And you seem to be talking about everyday desktop applications: Browser, mail client, word processor, instant messaging client, and maybe even your IDE as a programmer. Those kind of apps don't have that kernel of hard computational work - their work is much more diffuse.

Help me learn about strategic sourcing / procurement in your industry
Hi everyone, I've been leading multiple projects related to implementing AI/ML/DL/advanced analytics for automating manufacturing processes (most recently - pharma, for COVID vaccine production), and while at it, I've developed a strong interest in supply chains, manufacturing, sourcing and procurement.

I'd love to find out more about the fundamentals, challenges and the lessons that you've learned while sourcing materials / equipment / goods or others, in your industry and geography

I would be more than happy to support you with answering any digital / AI / Factory 4.0 questions that you might have or to help you draft your digital strategy in return.

Update 1: Not selling any services or products, or attempting to find clients. My advice and help, if needed, is offered for free as a token of gratitude.

Update 2: My ultimate goal is to evaluate whether there are some interesting challenges that can be solved via software, in sourcing / procurement. But I fundamentally want to accelerate my understanding of the industry.

Update 3: My ask - I'm hoping for us to have a discussion over a virtual coffee or call and for you to walk me through your sourcing approach, procurement software, challenges, particularities of your industry, COVID impact and the future of the industry. Everything at a high level. Not looking for sensitive information.

It’d be nice if a citation was provided more than just a link to Google.
I think in a recent CES talk Mobileye CEO mentioned that Googles models for speech recognition hit a wall after a certain level of expontial improvement. It is not clear that the required robustness and accuracy can be solved with Deep Learning and cameras alone (Not this year or next anyways). I cannot find the exact quote but the talk in itself is very interesting. [1] He is very bullish on vision but says Tesla is making a huge gamble by betting the house on Deep Learning alone. They seem to be far ahead of Tesla in terms of developing a safe and viable FSD solution with the necessary redundancy.

Yeah just don't use too much. It was long ago but my then-roommate once used liquid dish detergent in the dishwasher because we had run out of dishwasher detergent. The seemingly endless gallons of foam flowing out onto the floor was quite memorable.
Not op but I’ll give my reply anyway fwiw.

$7k (x 2) at the time, reason was to help Tesla survive. Was not expecting anything else for my money in the next few years.

Nowadays Tesla’s survival seems more assured, so if I did it today, it would no longer be for that reason.

Some people pay for it thinking that it will be much more expensive later.

I question this thinking though, because once it’s possible, it will be a table stakes feature we take for granted on every car, which means it shouldn’t add a huge bump to the price. But maybe I’m thinking about it wrong.

Only un-grafted avocados take a long time (and typically it's more like 10 years to fruit, not 20). Grafted cultivars vary in precocity, with some (e.g. Lamb) fruiting in the year after grafting and others (e.g. Sir Prize) taking many years to start fruiting.

I think the more balanced recommendation is a rule saying that attendance is optional for any students/parents who want to wait until they get a vaccination. However, allowing people to not get vaccinated could let new variants develop more easily they could eventually become vaccine resistant, leading to a new pandemic in the worst case scenario. Byw, do you have to sign any rights away when you accept a vaccine? Eg, give up rights to lawsuits or other terms?

That’s what I do t get. Just because you’re not pushing the buttons doesn’t mean you’re not operating it... you’re still using it, and the end result is the same. The elevators still probably have safety sensors, so you’re still triggering them when you walk through the doors. What’s the difference between walking though a sensor and pushing a button?
Meanwhile Mobileye is quietly crushing it. Below videos show apparently unedited driving for 40+ minutes in heavy traffic in Israel and Germany. Of course this is marketing material so to be taken with a grain of salt but it looks like they are really for ahead in real world driving / decision making. Also the perception layer looks way more stable than the current FSD Beta (I think 8.1).

>So you could take that as Apple encouraging you to keep your old device and to NOT upgrade.

Does Apple show you apps that won't run on the newest devices/OS versions in the app store?

>It's an annoying usability issue, but ultimately which devices are supported is up to individual developers and not Apple.

But Apple runs the store, so the onus on them is to present the store in a way that gives me what is compatible with my device. When I go to the physical store, I don't expect to find kid's sizes in the adult clothing section (and vice versa). Even if the "clothing developer" in question only makes child sized clothes.

Whoa, hold on. We're in a thread asking for public comment on dark patterns.

Look at point 6 in the event announcement PDF:

> What harms do dark patterns pose to consumers or competition? For example, do certain dark patterns lead consumers to purchase products or services that they might not
otherwise have purchased, pay for products or services without knowing or intending to, provide personal information, waste time, spend more on a particular product or service, remain enrolled in a service they might otherwise cancel, or develop harmful usage habits?

(emphasis mine)

>Consumers aren't getting severely fucked, it's just kind of annoying to some people.

Sorry, I'm not understanding your point. Most dark patterns don't severely fuck anyone and are just kind of annoying to some people. I think that's the point of this FTC public comment - to get a consensus on what dark patterns are.
Is this for some fundamental reason, or is it just that they're lacking polish because they've seen less development effort so far?
Thanks. To confirm: You're pinging between the EC2s using their public DNS, right?

If AWS backbone is used automagically, I wonder why would anyone pay for Transit Gateways or VPC Peering rather than do mTLS between their cross-region instances or tunnel via Wireguard-esque transports like tailscale or defined.net, for example. Also, since when has this been the case, if you'd know?

I'm curious what the bandwidth charges are for EC2 to EC2 cross-region when using their public IPs / DNS? Same as VPC Peering?

>> I'd wonder why

I'm a doctor, and whilst I despise carrying a pager it does have some benefits over more modern alternatives in some scenarios.

Mobile (cell) reception in hospitals is generally very poor and wifi connectivity is also generally poor. Trying to rely on either of those to deliver critical communication (e.g. bleeps to the crash team to respond to a cardiac arrest) is more unreliable than the hospital blasting a simple radio signal that any pagers within a few mile radius will always receive and decode appropriately.

For less critical communications (e.g. where you might bleep someone to contact them to a refer a patient to their specialty) there is a (slow) move towards messaging apps or email. These solutions do not yet have the immediacy and reliability of a simple pager for critical applications.
Each extra tool provides a date for a date when marketing will be useful. As a pm I was told that we couldn’t advertise because our marketing integration wasn’t done.

Though I’m skeptical of cryptocurrencies as a market, I’m very bullish on the technology long-term for use-cases like this. Having programmable money where every party is able to audit something like a smart contract and see how their deposited money will be treated is huge. We could effectively get rid of pull-model money transfers and instead relegate similar functionality to open smart contract pools.
> The only good food is done by local farmers.

That's never made any sense to me. Why does the food become bad just because I'm farther from the farmer? The environmental emissions from transport are minimal, so that can't be it.

Are you trying to say eat from grown by a small farmer?

But that's no good either, small farmers are less efficient. Or maybe you are valuing something else over environmental efficiency?

Can you explain?
