Well said. I find it interesting that I feel the same towards the Universe. Maybe that's why I never felt the need for a deity.

I am not sure what to think of this. Just a quick back of the napkin basic math implies that there are about 18,000-22,000 square feet for every single bird.
I think mountainethos's point is that would pedestrians and cyclists prefer sedans and SUVs to other pedestrians and cyclists, or even motorcyclists. The likelihood of serious injury or death is such a step function from one to the other that the difference between sedans and trucks is hairsplitting.
HIPAA only applies to "covered entities" (e.g. healthcare providers). It's why your employer is allowed to ask about your COVID vaccination status (even if they are also a healthcare provider).

Yes, that's what they said. There is no way to verify that. Punishing certain communities by withdrawing service to scare off future such wage increases is another explanation.
Yes, I think the Communications Act of 1934 (and the Rural Electrification Act of 1936) was successful. The Communications Act established a Universal Service Fund that used long-distance charges to subsidize phone service for low-income households and expanding service to households that would not be profitable to serve.

The Telecommunications Act of 1996, meant to be sort of a digital update, has clearly not been successful.
Hard to tell anything definitive from the reported numbers. It could be that people have given up on reporting property crime. This has been my experience. I know of about 20 car and home break ins in the last few years, none of which have been reported.
Why not simply plant more trees while work from home for the majority? Indeed, a similar question was asked to Elon Musk a few weeks ago, he did not have a good answer to it to promote EV.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I've never really seen anybody write about general long-term archival. Most books are along the lines of GTD focused on personal productivity, personal organization, or mangerial organization. I think your take on long-term archival of interesting things is somewhat unique in the self-help space and I've read a decent amount of self-help books.
It will be interesting to see what they can come up with.

Still, given all the research so far, there is no such thing as animal language, not in the sense we understand human language. In particular, it's very clear that animal calls are not in any way equivalent to human words, they are at best equivalent to human facial expressions - quasi-automatic responses to certain stimuli, normally without any syntax or other signifiers.

There may be some exceptions, given that, for example, some dolphins have successfully been taught simple syntax (the difference between "Go there, do this" and "do this, go there", which no other mammal has successfully comprehended).

Policing in the USA has roots in part in how the Irish-Americans earned their whiteness, by being mean to other groups that have a harder time joining the club.[0]
In the same way that female drill instructors can be misogynist, Black police officers can do harm to people of color, acting out the will of those who make calls about “suspicious people” in their neighborhood.
I used to be more naive about this, calling 911 to report infractions that felt unsafe (a car driving on the bikeway, for example, when in hindsight they had probably taken a wrong turn), and now this is not my first reaction, understanding that my call might lead to murder.
As a child I thought police officers were unarmed civil servants to help give directions. Now they tend not to live in the neighborhoods they work in, are less approachable (in vehicles), and are militarized thanks to our military-industrial-political complex (thanks, President Eisenhower, for speaking out). I want local, well-educated (emotionally and cognitively), well-paid, unarmed civil servants who act as community resources for health and safety.
Prioritizing early childhood education and the health of all citizens (not relegating subsets to living near pollution) feels like a better way forward. We may have to give up some luxuries on the way. What will you change so that we might all be healthier?

After screening, I was told I had been shortlisted for an interview with the manager. As I walked in to an interview room, the manager stood up and walked from his desk to greet me with an extended hand. I shook it, and he remarked, "Nice to meet you - oh, you have a good firm grip". Then he placed his right hand over my left shoulder and looked up and down, studying me, and squeezed my shoulder and commented, "You have good sense of style - you look really smart today!".

I was thrilled at having made a good first impression.

The interview was going really well, with the manager making positive remarks about my resume as he quizzed me on it.

Finally he said, "I noticed you sometimes hesitate and pause when you speak. You'll need to improve that as it can convey that you lack confidence. Ok, let's try this - I am going to give you a topic and I want you to speak about it confidently. So pretend that a colleague in your team has come out as gay, and HR has deputed you to speak to your team about it. What would you say in your short speech?

(Note that homosexuality was illegal in my country at that point of time, and nobody really talked about it - more like we indians "neutrally" ignored it.)

I was taken aback a bit and paused for sometimes to gather my thoughts, and after wracking my brain for what seemed like a long time, I suddenly remembered an article on homosexuality that described how it had even been observed in some animals too, like monkeys, and sociologists / psychologists thus were of the opinion that treating it as some "deviant" behaviour particular to humans was wrong. I figured starting by citing that would make me sound smarter and knowledgeable and began my speech - "All of us already know about the different spectrum of human sexuality. Psychologist have noticed and studied monkeys too have shown homosexual behaviours, so it is ..."

And as I was saying this, I noticed his face darkened, and he got up and stormed out of the interview room before I could complete. I didn't understand what had gone wrong. Someone else came in for a technical interview and that went well.

Later I got an email that I hadn't qualified. I followed up with HR, and one of them was kind enough to call me back and tell me that the manager thought I was a homophobic person and thus not a good fit for his team and the company. Turns out he was openly gay, and I had unknowingly offended him by comparing gay people to monkeys and animals.

Lesson learned - best to talk as little as possible on disruptive topics like religion, politics and sexuality even if you are asked about it. (I don't blame the manager for being sensitive about what I said - he was bold for his time and it must have been stressful for him).

it seemed very much to me like meditation (something I was more familiar with) and prayer were very similar. The concept of God may just make it more pointed, or more like a conversation.

Yes, if I was going to introduce a non-Christian to prayer, that's pretty much how I'd describe it. There definite similarities, but with clear differences that make it more like a dialogue.

I'll look into Anthony De Mello, thanks for the heads up.
The amount of complexity in step 2 is immaterial to the author's argument for both PoS and PoW.

The difference is in step 3. In PoS, the people with coin decide which transactions are valid. In PoW, the people with the most hash power (those that have demonstrated their commitment by burning real-world/physical resources) decide which transactions are valid.

this seems like the perfect use of the corporate death penalty...this is an attitude and philosophy problem that cannot be solved with tools of behavior modification.

It is also one of the least believable statements ever made by a corporate spokesperson ever.
This already happens in some places. For example, in Houston, HOAs and other neighborhood management districts will contract with Constables to have a dedicated deputy in their neighborhood with a separate contact number. Others will contract with armed private security to patrol their neighborhoods as well.

Also, this is how people use the police already. They call them when they are annoyed with their neighbors, the infamous woman in Central Park that was covered heavily in the news this year comes to mind.
Good point. I'm doing my part to contribute to it, though, not much else I can do!
Which is not surprising for the young and not obese, where their death threat is almost nil. It would be like worrying about getting hit by lightning. They are more likely to die in a car crash on the way to get the vaccine, than die from Covid.
Maybe so, but that’s letting perfect get in the way of the good. A week in a new place can be life-changing. 3 months can feel like a year. Don’t need to set “really understand” a place as a requirement if your goal is just to enjoy your life and make it richer.

I can’t believe you are writing this not in jest. Just a week or two ago we saw a video of an officer planting evidence in broad daylight. He was caught because of the video, how many officers have not been caught? What about yesterday when the police office ran up and kicked a handcuffed man in the head? Was that the rule of law or the rule of force?

I am just trying to explain the appeal of Citizen and a subsection of NextDoor, the adoption of Ring cameras, etc. You're right, people are mad about something that is falling.

> some reason driven by something other than actual facts on the ground

Maybe Citizen and NextDoor's adoption is made up. I don't think it is. People are responding to something. It's not racism.

It's stuff like the state of Venice Beach in Los Angeles, people getting stabbed to death by homeless people, in their own homes. It's the absolutely insane number of bike thefts in Cambridge. It's the constant scam phone calls to your parents and grandparents. What do you want me to say, that the experience and trauma of getting shit stolen from you can't be reduced to a number? It's a fucking arson. The property crime is ultimately going to be connected to violence.

We are spoiled today by an environment where, if your LTV exceeds the cost of Amazon just replacing your stolen package, sure, it doesn't matter. It is truly a profound awakening for rich people, when they realize that whether or not the credit card company gives you money in a dispute has nothing to do with the merits of what you're saying and everything to do with whether you'll be LTV positive after they pay you back. We are relying on being rich to solve problems rather than solving the crime.

Property crime is a regressive tax on society! Amazon can't afford to replace poor people's packages, because a poor person will never make the money back. Credit cards can't service poor people fairly in disputes. Don't you see that property crime reduction serves poor communities much more than rich ones? They are the ones who can't park their cars in garages, who can't replace the $20 in a stolen wallet. They have more to lose!

Generally a ML model transforms the copyrighted material to the point where it isn't recognizable, so it should be treated as its own unrelated work that isn't infringing or derivative. But then you have e.g. GPT that is reproducing some (largeish) parts of the training set word-for-word, which might be infringing.

Also I don't think there have been any major court cases about this, so there's no clear precedent in either direction.
I was pretty amazed to see this in the initial blurb. I agree with you, and I think a good chunk of HN would as well, but apparently Ford's marketing department determined that this is something that people want.

Scrolling through the page, it's the second "feature" that they advertise (first being that it's "gass-free"). It gets higher placement than the "Power your home" capability, and much higher placement than the "Frunk" (in fact, if I just scroll, the "frunk" doesn't show up until about 2/3 of the way down the page!)

In Brazil the state provides free healthcare and of course, security through two polices, the day to day enforcement through the Military Police, and the investigative arm the Civil Police.

Since both services are lacking, everyone that can pay, either from out of pocket or as a employment benefit, uses the private healthcare system. The more well to be pay for private security, bullet-proof cars, and other measures.

It's symptomatic to see people using private services, as it may show the state provided ones are falling short. Defunding only hurts the poor that can't afford to pay for good private services.

I thought the same thing for years, and just avoided the market except for a 401k and stock granted by companies I worked at. Then I got into trading because I thought I could make money trading volatile stocks and I've never looked back (I've already made enough to retire). So far I've only lost money on my value stocks.

The thing is there isn't much in this article other than emotion. A sound thesis would examine (at least seemingly) legitimate arguments against accessibility.

Another comment on this thread points out that designing/implementing accessibility comes at a cost. Why would money-tight companies use resources to do it?

Maybe mention the market share represented by people who need accessible sites. Maybe provide the numbers for how many websites are truly accessible. Highlight the fact that by spending resources on it it could almost be akin to targeting a niche with very little competition.

That's how you convince conscientious people, not by saying "if you don't do it, you're a fraud".
I can't help but disagree with the premise: at a basic level, accessibility is not hard. It is hard to consistently check all the boxes for WCAG AAA, but let's be honest, this is not where the trouble starts. Most sites fail on basic issues and this isn't a for a lack of resources. Case in point, Bootstrap, the most widely used frontend library by far, has only recently started thoroughly addressing accessibility concerns in their code examples and snippets. Prior to this it was a mix and match of the good, the bad and the ugly. I completely agree with another commenter that tooling does have a very long way to come with regards to accessibility. Better tools make for better software, as witnessed by linters, fuzzers, testing frameworks and the like. But even more so education. You can easily teach someone with basic knowledge of web dev the core concepts of accessibility in a day, a crash course in even less time would also be completely manageable. Sadly, this is not a topic that I've seen any uni or code boot camp cover in a reasonable stretch.
