Production scale Level 5, full autonomous is still many years away. Most people will be happy with Level 3/4 regardless, and those are still better/safer than most of the distracted drivers on the road today.
I don't really get how trends like this one (and IMO that's just the tip of the ice berg – this is companies preparing for the inevitable legislation that will make most forms of tracking illegal within the next 10 years) don't affect facebook or google stock.

This IMO makes two scenarios likely:

1) The market is currently just dragging along, hoping this will all go away and we're really in a major ad-bubble that's about to pop.

2) Tracking... isn't that profitable after all. All the personalized tracking shit can be replaced with a simple "users who clicked on canon printer also clicked on cheap ink refill kits" type of model that gets the same results or better. Which also puts into question a lot of what FB and Google are actually doing.

I've always wondered how local/regional chains, In-n-Out/Dicks, tend to be as cheap as national ones while usually having better food and paying much better than national chains.

Usually they are also in higher COL areas as well so I'd assume they pay more in Tax/Rent etc.

Well, not all of those millionaires are "insanely rich", as in "having a million dollars fluid", but are upper middle class and have some ground or something similarly worthwile. I know quite a few millionaires, but many of these are just farmers or owners of a flat in or near a major city. They surely don't live a bad live, but they don't have thousands to pour in dogecoin or casinos.

My point is, take these numbers with a grain of salt.
Has apple ever said they were anti ads? I thought their position was that they were anti tracking without consent.

I heard a crazy theory that this is how dolphins communicate. As they perceive using sound and are able to produce sound, perhaps they project the sound of the thing they want to talk about. It would be the same as a human being able to shine any image we like onto a wall to communicate. Can they recreate the echo of a fish with high enough fidelity that it's recognisable to another dolphin?
Interesting! We've built similar support for decoupling compute from storage into Elasticsearch and, as coincidence would have it, just shared some performance numbers today:

https://www.elastic.co/blog/querying-a-petabyte-of-cloud-sto...

It works just as any regular Elasticsearch index (with full Kibana support etc.).

The data being indexed by Lucene allows queries to access index structures and return results orders of magnitude faster than doing a full table scan.

It is complemented with various caching layers to make repeat queries fast.

We expect this new functionality to be used for less frequently queried data (e.g. operational or security investigations, legal discoveries, or historical performance comparisons on older data), trading query speed for cost.

It supports Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage, Amazon S3 (+ S3 compatible stores), HDFS, and shared file systems.

As someone who lived on poverty wages and now makes significantly more: No, you do not.
Haven't seen this personally, a lot of small businesses have closed and WalMart is the same wages. Went to a hiring event with "live interviews" and it was actually just a bag of paper with places that are hiring, with a candy bar and pens inside. All of it being things like home Depot, "nursing assistant", retirement homes, etc. Same as years before the pandemic but few of it being locally grown business. There was a "IT hiring event" and it was actually just entirely an ad for why you have to go to college and get an IT degree, nobody is actually looking to hire outside the box. I believe a number of places figured out they can downsize quite successfully.

There was even a union electrical apprenticeship, which had severe competition, only hired a few people a year, and required all manner of tests all required within 1 day of the event which was impossible to have. (Color blindness test, high school transcripts, etc) the guy really didn't care to be there.
Wow they must make a LOT in unemployment! That doesn't make sense at all to me, unemployment insurance didn't even cover half of my rent, and comes with a stigma.

But like you said, it's a worthless anecdote.

It's easy to put a block cache in front of the index, and I'm sure they'll get to it sooner or later.

The benefit of using S3 in that case is that unlike e.g. Elastic, your block cache servers don't need replication, and you can tear them down when you're done. You can put them in a true autoscaling group as well.

> The equation is just that, how to solve for the current # of people in prison, therefore it ignores false convictions

I don't follow this. If you're falsely convicted of murder and get 30 years, why would that show up in the statistics any different than your cell mate who was correctly convicted.

> This equation would probably be most accurate if only the most serious sentence were used for "Prison Sentence Length."

Not if the lesser crimes affect the total length of your sentence.

> people are mostly remanded to jail, not prison, aka custody before trial

I think the difference between prison and jail in this case is irrelevant. If you were held in jail awaiting trail for 1 year and acquitted vs. being sentenced to 1 year in prison on conviction, you're still held against your will for 1 year.
The growing prevalence of this line of thinking explains the current "post truth" environment, wherein we are assaulted with disinformation from previously trustworthy institutions.
Hello, author here, surprising that this one caught on when my own post didn't (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26973194), I still don't understand the HN algorithm...

I want to be clear that there are great reasons to use 80/20-ing https://xdg.me/80-20/ and I do use it myself. I'm just expressing a latent feeling/worry that too many people think it is the secret to success because 80/20 authors try to 80/20 other people's success in an attempt to 80/20 their own.

The world doesn't need more overhyped-never-delivered things. Let's make 100%ing cool again.
The notion that people making $350K are having a particularly rough time is nuts.

As for inflation, it's threatening to price people under your $150k/yr cut-off for "hardship" out of decent housing even in mediocre cities, ever, and may eventually hurt creditors some (which, I mean, that's a fine outcome according to most people, I'd think). Those with $150k+ salaries had damn well better have some assets to their name, including maybe a (mortgaged) house, and so will ride the inflationary wave alright. Those with little or nothing, on the other hand, may now never be able to afford anything. Young workers just starting out, who have high-ish income but only because they live in a place with insane housing prices, are getting screwed, too, sure, but established professionals will be fine, unless they've somehow managed not to acquire assets over the years.

Pity the normal couple with $60,000/yr household income. Believe it or not, they raise kids on that income. Go figure.

I wouldn't trade places with someone getting by on unemployment for their $12/hr job they were laid off from, certainly. I don't think they're "looting". We're clearly top-heavy on capital, given how the markets are behaving, so I think I've got a better idea of where the looting's happening.
I tend to give him a break since he is one of the few modern entrepreneurs that I think actually produces things of real value.

The fact that it tends to be in businesses that are among the most mature and hardest to get into is really amazing.
some of the success comes from the successful knowing the right way to share their prototypes in a way that excites and recruits others who are able to 'fill in the gaps' and then suddenly: startup!
It's been my experience that doing it that way can fiddle with the `this` value of those B and C functions, although I do in general agree there's usually no need for the outer wrapping arrow function if the interior one doesn't care about `this`

Different Ways to Use Card Sorting
Yeah we all think this, jumping out of tech and buying a transam and taking a relaxing job and smoking pot when our wives aren't around.

Anyway, remind yourself of how you couldn't afford that $80-150/mo gym/class. How you didn't go on a real vacation for years because it took 8mo+ to save up for one. How you probably drove a car that constantly broke down because you couldn't get a loan on something decent. How you had to save money from your $6/hr job to eat Burger King on your lunch break across the street. How a huge chunk of your income went into driving yourself to work (gas/maintenance). How you couldn't afford a place without 3-4 roommates. How you went for years without buying a set of 4 tires, instead buying 1 used tire to replace your bald tire before the police/rain gets you.

I'll take the 150k stresses over my previous $6-12/hr stresses where I felt like I was spinning tires and never, ever going to get out of that.
I'm not sure what their position was at the time, but they published articles in defence of Chamberlain and his policy of appeasing Nazi Germany as recently as 2007.

Fake it til you make it is fine with startups, however with publicly traded securities it is fraud. Elon Musk gets away with a lot of things that most capital markets participants would be imprisoned for. I'd certainly be in jail if I did half the BS he does on an almost daily basis.

Yet, this fake it til you make model has enabled reflexivity in the growth and stock price allowing Tesla and other Musk ventures to grow and accomplish a lot with amazing speed.

An interesting study in Soros' theories. Turns out that lying about timelines, product capability (even existence), liquidity, buyouts, crypto pump and dumps, and defamation is heavily rewarded by the market.

FWIW, I'm not necessarily saying that TSA's argument works out in practice. I'm just saying that they can at least try to make it.

Versus, even if we give adtech a similar benefit of the doubt, and accept for the sake of argument that they really could more effectively convince me to buy the world's greatest fidget cube, there's still just no way that such an outcome is a great enough social good to justify the means they used to achieve it.

(Except perhaps from the perspective of the adtech and fidget cube people. And, even then, only if we assume that they have a slightly deranged opinion of the social utility of their fidget toy relative to all other fidget toys. Or that they're solipsists.)
This is not true, the DoL addresses this question specifically: https://www.dol.gov/coronavirus/unemployment-insurance

See the answer to “My employer has remained open because it is essential. I’m not sick, nor is anyone in my household sick. I do not have children or care for someone who cannot care for themselves. However, I’m afraid of getting coronavirus from customers coming to the store, so I quit and filed for unemployment. Can I obtain benefits under the CARES Act?”
Anytime you hear a company say they "cant find enough workers" you need to add to the end of that sentence the phrase "at the price I'm willing to pay."

All they're saying is they're used to being able to dictate terms and they have less power to do that right now. It's almost as if there was some sort of global crisis that forced everyone to re-evaluate their priorities, and they realized that working for slave wages in dangerous work conditions for companies who demonstrably don't care about them, wasn't a great idea if you could avoid it.
Well we did warn them enough times to avoid first-gen Apple products and 'going all in' on the risk and now they are the ones crying on the bench having lost their work because 'it died' for no reason.

Shhh, don't ruin the narrative with facts...
Another example of a bit darkish pattern is listing ridiculously small prices ($0.0000166667 per GB-second, $0.0004 per 1000 GET requests). It's hard to reason about very small and very big numbers, order of magnitude difference "feels" the same. Showing such a small prices is accurate, but deceiving IMHO.
Statistics are certainly not categorically useless, but they are widely misunderstood and thus widely abused. In less political areas I have seen trained experts make elementary mistakes (mistakes happen and it's fine). A lot (nearly all in my informal sampling) of journalists have zero understanding of statistical methods. The term statistical significance leads to knee jerk reactions advocating policy without understanding the basic procedure, or implications of hypothesis testing.

As a numerate person I would personally appreciate it if all statistical claim had a link to a Jupyter Notebook and the associated data. (Though perhaps Observable would be the best choice here since it is run on the web).
I think the generous unemployment benefits just exposed how little minimum wage people are paid. Many minimum wage people were being laid off, so they went for unemployment benefits. But those weren’t enough (because the jobs were barely paying enough). Enough people were finally complaining about their wages that politicians decided to just give everyone extra unemployment benefit money.

If the extra unemployment benefits from the CARES Act was just changing the unemployment pay to 100% your prior pay, it wouldn’t’ve been as big an issue. But for someone making $300 a week could possibly get $800 through unemployment (~$200 for unemployment plus $600 “bonus”).

The CARES Act suspending the “search for work” requirement didn’t help either. It was necessary at the time as there were no jobs available, but I think it is definitely time to reevaluate that. It encourages people to not go back when the business opens up because they’ll not only have to go back to work, but they’ll be making less.
Isn't the point of 80/20 that the last 20% are actually 80% of the work ? That detail is the hard work
How Kubernates Works
> There's no integrating them with auto traffic whether or not you force them into the same roadway.

Roads can accommodate traffic moving at different speeds. For example, buses and trucks consistently move slower than passenger vehicles, especially up grades, but drivers of faster vehicles simply change lanes to pass them. This works on interstates where drivers of passenger vehicles are going 70 to 90 mph and commercial vehicles are going 40 to 60 mph.

Similarly, on a surface street with traffic moving anywhere from 0 to 40 mph, cyclists moving 0 to 20 mph can similarly integrate with traffic with faster drivers changing lanes to pass them.

> Part of good separate path design is planning the intersections to prevent the sort of crashes you're describing.

I've read about the designs, but the assumptions that they make do not really hold. For example, the typical "protected" intersection with curb extensions and an offset assumes that a motorist will look down the bike path to check for cyclists before exiting an intersection while moving at 10 mph. In reality, drivers aren't going to do that.

As I noted earlier, this principle works with pedestrians, because, while walking, they're moving around 5 feet per second, so seeing a pedestrian 10 feet away from the intersection is pretty easy for a driver making a turn since they really don't have to look down the sidewalk.

In contrast, a cyclist is moving anywhere from 15 to 30 feet per second. A cyclist that's two seconds away from entering an intersection can be anywhere from 30 to 60 feet away. This requires a drivers to actually look down the bike path, which isn't always going to occur. The cyclist may assume that the turning driver has seen them, but that assumption is in correct, and the cyclist will have to slow rapidly to avoid a collision.

Also, a lot of cyclists, when making use of such infrastructure, believe that they have pedestrian style right of way, meaning that they will do things like ride around the front of a turning vehicle believing that they'll stop to avoid a collision instead of just yielding.

A typical person takes about a second or so to react to something unexpected. At 10 mph, the motorist has already covered 16 feet, meaning that they would collide with a cyclist before they have a chance to even press the brake pedal.

I remember that "cymascope" experiment that used a dolphin's sound as input. Turned out the water surface had an image (after lots of noise deblurring) of a human the dolphin just seen. This means the organ that decodes sound is a simple membrane with water. How dolphins encode images into sound is a separate question.

I thought the big win for Transactional Memory over locking was composability. Locks don’t compose. Whenever accessing data, you have to think about all the locks or else you end up with dead(live)lock.

The promise of transactional memory was that it composes and you only have to think about your data access and not have to worry about running into deadlocks.

The $3,200 in stimulus provided over the course of a year is not “a lot of money” anywhere in the US. And since it’s the equivalent of $1.50/hour for a full time worker for the year it’s certainly not enough to discourage anyone from working.
