Can you provide an example of a publication that "strongly implied or outright claimed" on their own that autopilot was involved?

At least in the mainstream press, they seem to have reported what the police were saying at the time, and indicated that they were quoting the police. For example, from the NYT [1]:

> Two men were killed in Texas after a Tesla they were in crashed on Saturday and caught fire with neither of the men behind the wheel, the authorities said.

> Mark Herman, the Harris County Precinct 4 constable, said that physical evidence from the scene and interviews with witnesses led officials “to believe no one was driving the vehicle at the time of the crash.”

They also attempted to get Tesla's side of the story, but Tesla didn't respond:

> Tesla, which has disbanded its public relations team, did not respond to a request for comment.

I'd be upset with the police for making such confident statements that were contradicted by later investigations. But the media, who may not have had access to the accident scene, seems to have done a reasonable job reporting, at least from what I've seen.

In an ideal world, maybe they'd do an independent investigation instead of relying on police statements, but it's a question of how to allocate resources across all things they could be reporting. It probably makes it more difficult to do this when Tesla won't talk to them.

Digital thermometers are mostly a perfected technology by now. There's less than $10 worth of parts in these regardless of how much they are selling them for. You can buy a $5 multimeter with a type K thermocouple probe and it will have the same accuracy as any other, since it's intrinsic to the material itself. Hence the propaganda campaigns by companies who stand the most to lose from it.

...and downvoted for speaking the truth. Yes, it's all marketing BS, a tiny "bead" type thermocouple probe has next to no thermal mass and reads as instantly as you'll ever need for cooking purposes. Go buy a cheap one yourself if you don't believe me.
I would really like to get a Model 3, but with a few adjustments. First, I'd like to put in a dash full of physical buttons, dials, and switches so I'm not reliant on the touchscreen (so I could do things like adjust the wiper delay without taking my eyes off the road when it is raining). Second, I'd like to be able to open the door if a slight freezing rain keeps the window from rolling down (yes, the car has to roll the window down a bit for the door to open). Third, if the touch screen (which appears to be a consumer-rated part, not an automotive-rated part) goes out I'd like to still be able to drive the car (this goes back to the first item).

Another item (for me, although I recognize that it doesn't apply to others). Most of my daily trips (back when I commuted to work) were less than 50 miles per day. So I really don't need to haul around (and pay for) a 300 mile battery most of the time. But for times I do need it, I may need more than 300 miles. So I'd rather give up maybe 200 - 230 miles of battery range in exchange for a gas engine that would directly power the back wheels (while the electric powers the front wheels). This engine would only need enough horse power for cruising speed plus a bit of spare power, as the electric motor would be used for acceleration and the gas motor would be used only on longer trips (where the car would act like a traditional hybrid). This should be about an even exchange in weight and cost. I haven't seen any plugin hybrids that do this (where the gas can directly power the car, and have more than 50 miles range on the battery -- many phev cars (like the Volt) have the gas power a generator that drives the battery charge and electric motor, and others like the Ford ones have a small electric-only range.
Ugh.

I just finished reading "Staff Engineer" book [1] and it listed "Architect" as one of four archetypes. The architect there is very different from the one in this article, and I'll support the book than this article.

Simply put, the architect in this article is probably too micro-managing and tyrannic. Although that isn't stated explicitly, the lack of arrows across devs is symbolic, as well as the "surgeon" metaphor.

The team I'd like to be in is more loosely coupled and less hierarchical, and I'd love an architect to be more ambient than opinionated.

Many architects would disagree and that's fine. I just want to drop my 2c here.

> The trauma unleashed by Brexit, and the bizarre prospect of a new national festival to mitigate against this self-inflicted wound

Isn’t a mainstream take on Brexit. Nor is calling the White Cube the ‘white pube’. It’s the author using some event as an excuse for a political rant, not sure why it made it this far on HN. Flagging it and moving on.
Not a Flat Earther, but its not beyond the realm of possibility reality might be a two dimensional projection. Despite our sensory perceptions. Look into "Holographic Universe".
Okay, maybe lowest was not the best word to be used. What I meant was a lot of the city employees get paid six figure salary. And that's because it's expensive to live here. Comparing game dev salaries from the bay area to UK kind of misses that point.

Sure those numbers exist, because the city has to have pay scales for every job category, but I think the more important thing to ask is what percentage of the workers are actually low paid employees.

I couldn't find a report that would easily displays that info, but here's a news item from a couple years back where 75% of the bay area city employees were earning 6 figures. [0]

Another question you want to ask is what positions exist in that excel spreadsheet, do people even take those jobs full time and what percentage of people do sit in that spectrum? For example here's another story that reports a starting wage of almost 50k for a Janitor. Of course there's going to be a few jobs that exist in lower end of the spectrum, but that still doesn't take away from the fact that it's expensive to live here and therefore, you shouldn't compare high salaries in the bay with others elsewhere one to one.

Wrangling statistics!?!? 102 people die A DAY in automobile accidents, and you’re claiming that less than the number of people that die in a single week is common? I’ll do the math for you. Fire is involved in ONE PERCENT of all vehicle accident deaths.

And then you use the word “civilian”? What do you even mean by that? How is that word even applicable here?

This would be cute, if it wasn’t so obviously motivated. Go clutch your pearls somewhere else. Elon isn’t taking you on his B-Ark.

No, that’s nonsense.

Parent’s post is an exercise in imagination. It might be accurate for some, it might not be for others. It certainly doesn’t match my experience, which is summed up pretty concisely in my post. It may not be kind, but it’s also not wrong.
Almost every day, I find myself sending and receiving screenshots placed in context with some text and bullet points. Dare I say it: I love HTML emails
> Vaccination of children is not required to reduce the number of deaths from Covid-19 to a number asymptotically approaching zero.

> Focusing myopically on "transmission rate" misses the broader conversation about risk and benefit.

So does focussing myopically on deaths, which aren’t the only thing that costs Quality-Adjusted Life-Years.

> Giving tens/hundreds of thousands of kids an illness on par with the flu to marginally reduce the theoretical risk of illness in an unvaccinated stranger.

That’s not all the vaccine is for. Children have a much lower rate of dying of acute COVID symptoms, but do see more than enough long COVID effects, including MIS-C, to be worth protecting against.
This "Atlas Engineering" is an unfortunate name conflict with the developers of the Nyxt browser: https://atlas.engineer
Sometimes they even improve, recently I was reading an old Stephen King where he spends a couple of paragraphs describing the rotary dialing process. When I first tried to read this book 30 years ago that was the sort of mundane detail that made the book such a slog, now it feels more like the attention to detail you appreciate in a period piece.

I think a lot of TV shows have reached the point where they're aging a lot slower too. If you launch a new sci-fi show today for instance, you're competing for eyeballs against Star Trek: TNG which hold up well in the modern day. When TNG came out old shows hadn't aged as well and the were unavailable to most people. DVD's and now streaming have given TV the equivalent of used book stores and creators now have to compete against the back catalogues.
If you buy the base Taycan, you’ll have RWD only, the short-range battery, and be smoked by the comparable Model S from a stoplight. To get a Taycan with comparable features, you’ll need to spend something like $120k.

> One of the biggest lessons I remember from childhood was sharing. One of the biggest. Kids are encouraged to share everywhere in the US.

I have seen a small amount of dialing back on this in the preschools my kids went to. Kids are encouraged to share, and they can't be possessive of a toy, but they aren't required to share, or to give up a favorite item to another kid. If kid 1 wants to play with a truck for a whole hour, that's fine. Kid 2 just has to wait, or find something else. However, once kid 1 sets down the truck to go on the slide, it's fair game to kid 2.

No, employers are supposed to have to pay the market rate. The problem is that the government paying people to do nothing significantly inflates the market rate.

We are only scratching the surface of our understanding of social media addiction.

I think that aside from content, debate, having an opinion - there is the views/fame concept.

Conan O'Brian said "fame is more addictive and destructive than heroin, and we wouldn't give heroin to children would we?" in reference to the challenges child stars go through.

The addiction of attention I think is overwhelming - it starts with a viral bit of this or that - a new mom on TikTok with videos of her cute kid getting millions of views ... but it grows into an addiction, increasing disruption of daily activities in search of views until for many it seems to consume people.

The overlap of people's actual lives with the content creation, the fact there doesn't seem to be hard boundaries is particularly difficult.

I see most casual content creators with 10K-1M followers almost like pack-a-day smokers, wondering how they deal with all of it.

> I personally believe that DHS should make this sort of thing illegal for critical infrastructure.

I can't speak to non-electrical infrastructure, but the NERC CIP "high impact" standards already make it largely impossible to operate critical electrical infrastructure from anywhere other than a secured control centre. Operating from your laptop or iPhone from the kitchen table is however allowed for "low impact" assets like small power plants.
This is a pedantic debate. The door is now open for millions of kids to get the vaccine. This was not possible yesterday.
Nearly as many die annually in bathtubs. As it stands the average person could drive about 400k years before dying in a fire.

It's not playing games with statistics to point out the effects of large numbers.
> It doesn't follow that everyone is as consistently wrong as everyone else

When you wrote:

> If you think you don't do it, or (an easier self-deception) you don't do it as much, this is because you are lacking in self-awareness.

It sounded to me as if you said everyone was equally wrong as everyone else. Thanks for clarifying that that wasn't what you meant

I think this is incorrect: "[or if] you don't do it as much" -- some people indeed does it less (you'd be one of them I think)

> it was too baity

I agree (I think the section I quoted still is :-))
This whole convo is reminiscent of the "filler world" phenomenon - e.g. especially if I'm feeling relaxed, I'll say "Like" a lot (I lived in CA for a decade, grew up/went to school in Boston) and I've seen that especially people from Texas will get really hung up on it (ok, big state, like CA, I have double digit individual data on this from a skew of states) and I thought about applying an audio plugin to filter out my "likes" as these convos were in a video game. I'm not sure if I'm right about the "Texas doesn't like the CA slang" hypothesis, but I find it fascinating that people get so hung up on it and expect me to adhere to their expectation of how I should behave. I'm just saying "like" instead of "filler word" of "empty air" - the later of which the critics advocated for. I guess they might just be advocating for open air for others, and I'm overthinking the whole thing.

It isn't what most people think a resume should be, looking at the very article we are discussing as well all the "resume consulting/polishing" services out there.

Plus, employers are anyways going to make you fill out all this info separately in their recruiting system.
the big diff between a vaccine and a previous infection is that the vaccine doesn't damage your body in the process of training your body to attack it.

Covid can wreck havoc on your body and leave it in a weaker state.
> I know that if I use the native Windows Store based Netflix app on my laptop (Ryzen 4800u) I get much much longer battery life than if I use Netflix through Chrome.

The native app uses hardware decoding, while the browser one falls back to software decoding, so this is not surprising
> An estimated 212,500 vehicle fires caused 560 civilian deaths

It's what it says in the article you linked. I'm not sure why they specified 'civilian deaths'.

I never said it was common, I said burning to death in a car isn't uncommon.

I'm no EV proponent, by the way. You seem to be pretty fired up about it though - pardon the pun.

Edit: Added that I'm also not sure why civilian deaths is specifically mentioned.
Beauty is no quality in things themselves: It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them; and each mind perceives a different beauty. One person may even perceive deformity, where another is sensible of beauty; and every individual ought to acquiesce in his own sentiment, without pretending to regulate those of others. - Hume, D

Agreed. Hence the shock on people paying the markup. It’s not like this comes with some costly certification. There’s likely 1000s of products that offer the exact same capabilities at a 1/10 the price.

I'm an Orthodox Christian and was starting to write a really long post bordering on an essay about it. Yes, absolutely. Thank you for bringing it up.

I am not an iconographer, but I know that we hold onto a perspective with multiple vanishing points, creating intersecting diagonal perspective lines that closely resemble an isometric view precisely to create a timeless, comprehensive view of a liturgically significant event.

That’s likely. Many of the knock-offs are very convincing, especially if you don’t compare them side by side with the original.

I'm going to refer to Lyn Alden's guide here (https://www.lynalden.com/inflation/), but not all inflation damages the lower class.

In fact, the wealth gap was smallest (relatively) at the end of the 1940s and 1970s, both decades with the most inflation in the 20th century. It all depends on the power of labor vs capital. That's why capital has fought so much against unions - if you bring back unions, inflation can return and it can benefit the lower classes at the expense of the rich.
I wholeheartedly agree with you with the exception of Zoom. We started to Zoom over 5 years ago and it was shockingly better than everything else we had used and tried (almost of them). The great thing is a lot of their competition have slightly improved their game as well which rarely happens in Enterprise software. Companies usually continue to use crappy enterprise products despite much much better startup alternatives out there.
Sure why not -- I mean redshift is a cluster of Postgres databases as well. What you don't get is scale -- so its fine for a small data warehouse (in which case is it really a data warehouse...)

This is a little odd to me - I generally prefer to write my math in code if its going to be executed. I find my preferences to be pen and paper (or whiteboard)> latex, so perhaps I am not the target demographic here.
LXC/LXCFS/LXD – Infrastructure for container projects
thank you, I so needed that metaphor! Evergreen. That's the term I've been looking for for tons of things.

Indeed, there's no need for more Sesame Street — AND because kids can and should watch the best of the best of kids stuff already out there, there's no need for new versions of most ANY kids shows and so on.

The library already has more good kids books than any kid needs. Why make more? I'm not being sarcastic.

I can think of a few reasons:

- new subjects like tensions around social media or parental-addiction-to-phones or global warming
- new stuff that fills missing gaps in the representation of different cultures and perspectives

But mostly, why not just FIX outdated stuff too! When it comes to books, if only 30 year old stuff were public domain instead of absurd copyright terms, we could take all sorts of great things and just clean up outdated racial or sexist elements or update the context etc.

The MAIN reason to make new stuff is for the creative process itself, but we don't need it to get most of the attention. By pure numbers, the best 50 books of the year 2019 will be mostly worse compared to the best 50 books of all of the 20th century. But there's economic drive for constant infinite growth, and this is the cultural version of it. Cultural artificial obsolescence (or really just the false pretense of obsolescence).
There was an article in Salon (or was it Slate?) in 1996 on beginning sentences in "So".

No. Antibodies to an infection can be a variety that target different parts of the virus.

The vaccine produces antibodies to a specific stretch of the spike protein. So everyone who has the Pfizer vaccine has a similar (but not identical) group of antibodies.

Those infected with Covid-19 have a more diverse set of antibodies that may or may not protect as well against varients.
Seems like they're associated with the development of Nyxt since they link to Nyxt here -> https://source.atlas.engineer/

The study itself says that the immune response to the vaccine is not as diverse as a natural infection. That's how the study tried to figure out who had been infected:

"Natural exposure induces a dominant Ab response against
the nucleocapsid protein (NP), but since NP is not in the vaccine, there is no vaccine induced response against it. In this way vaccinated people who had a prior natural exposure can be classified because they have Abs to NP."

Simply looking at one aspect of immunity - detectable antibodies in the blood - is a very incomplete way of looking at the overall level of protection. For example, it's well known that mucosal immunity is important, and injected vaccines have a hard time inducing that kind of immunity: https://theprint.in/opinion/why-a-mucosal-covid-vaccine-has-...

It's also concerning that there is evidence that while people who have been vaccinated are much less likely to be infected. If they do get infected, they are more likely to be infected with one of the variants than unvaccinated: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bioproject/PRJNA728463

The immune response developed to our vaccines is quite specific - they only generate the spike protein - which leads to a much less diverse response than a natural infection.

Finally, the study you quoted can't really compare apples to apples anyway, as it's defining prior infection as simply having some level of antibody response, without considering how mild or severe those infections actually were.
I'll compare prices and if the price difference (including their shipping cost vs Prime) for the manufacturer/brand website is only $10-$15 then i'll most likely use the manufacturer website (especially if they use a not-horrible storefront system like shopify). This doesn't happen often, though, as even USPS shipping for medium or large items is expensive.
I'd argue that hiding behind "we let the market determine it" is much more uninspired and unproductive. Economic research now a days is constantly showing that markets are extremely flawed. One example of that is society pressuring employees to not share their wages, which is exactly what this whole article is about.
Great news. Wish we could see the impacts of pfizer in the indian population against some of the other variants coming out there (and helping them out as well).
i get your point, but i can't remember in recent years that there would be any difficulty to get wifi access even if i didn't have roaming, so this feels like a mere inconvenience instead of an impossibility
Did you not read the other replies? Many people's experience is that the difference is in the speed of reading, not the accuracy. This is borne out by buying many cheaper thermometers.

Regardless, I don't think the self-righteousness is called for. "Downvoted for speaking the truth"? We're talking about thermometers.
When you are sending hundreds of resumes, how you manage that?

For example I've been looking for a job for eight months now. I did create multiple resumes for different industries (and languages, I have portuguese and english versions) but still, I've been sending resumes in mass, and got invited in these eight months to only two interviews... and one of them was kinda a scam (the guy looked like he wanted an employee, but in fact he was a publisher looking for people that will shoulder most of the risk)
I would argue that Android got there before iOS did.
