We need this passport so that we maximize the potential of vaccines and minimize that of virus mutations. I say this selfishly: I want to travel and when the risk that visitors will bringing a supertransmissible virus deadly to the population is high (and 0.5% is a shitton of people), we'll again have lockdowns and we'll be sitting at home. I don't want any of that. That's why I got vaccinated and I'm happy to have a way of proving that it's very unlikely for me to bring crap that will kill people down the line

Safety is a modern day god. Corporations are invoking its name to justify whatever they want the same way a medieval lord would invoke god in their justification for sending a dozen dudes to beat someone up.

"For your safety you need to swipe your credit card before your riding lawnmower will go into reverse."

edit: 'the' vs 'a', modern society's worship of abstract concepts is more akin to ancient polytheistic societies than medieval Christianity.
> 15k fully annotated scenes with 5 classes (Car, Bus, Truck, Pedestrian, Cyclist)

It strikes me that this isn't nearly enough classes. Other important ones that I can think of offhand include deer (other animals too - recognizing the species helps with anticipating how they might move), playground ball, shopping cart, fallen limb, bicycle flag... I could possibly go on all morning.

Even looking at the list has me thinking that treating this as a simple classification subtask is possibly going about it in the wrong way. At least in my city, you need to be able to make finer distinctions, such as between a pedestrian stepping out into the street to see if a bus is coming or look for a taxicab, a panhandler standing on the centerline, or a pedestrian stepping out into the street to cross it. This is a legitimate safety concern for city driving - if a self-driving car hits the brakes every time it sees someone looking for a bus, it's only a matter of time until someone rear-ends it. And, while it should definitely give that panhandler some space, stopping in the middle of a busy intersection to let them clear the road when they have no intention of doing so is going to excessively obstruct traffic, and possibly also create a further safety hazard as cars behind it maneuver to try and get around.

I'm not sure figuring these things out is really a classification problem in the first place. It seems like it's more of a, for lack of a better term, "inferring intent" problem. Part of what I think might make that distinct is that classification assumes you're working with a categorical variable - a finite set of distinct classes. Intentions that are relevant to the driver tend to clump into a few distinct categories, but they're perhaps better modeled as fuzzy regions in a continuous vector space than as a categorical variable.

Which isn't to say that datasets like this are useless. Progress is progress, obviously. But it seems possible that, in the long view, the most important thing that all of this progress might have accomplished thus far is helping us to get out of the Dunning-Kruger phase of our understanding of the problem.

Pre-2001, it wasn't unusual for children to be shown into the cockpit during the flight. (Although, prices were higher back then, so it was less common for children to fly anyway.)

> Because you're not really buying the hardware.

Apparently, what you are buying is an obligation to buy a recurring subscription.

The genius in getting people to spend a lot up front to so burden themselves is that the more they pay, the less likely they are to walk away from it.
Can't speak for Europe overall, but in Germany it's highly uncommon to buy a home until you've either finished studying and have a proper job, or in the case of vocational training, having worked a few years. We seem to be pretty averse to debt in general, so for most people "buying a home" is the only acceptable thing to take on a large debt, and even you're probably already 30-40. Of course this is a little different if you live where housing is really cheap, but good luck getting an apartment or a house for under 500k-1m € in a big city.
Moving manufacturing jobs to poorer countries provided more jobs, and generally better jobs, than they had before. So I don't think characterizing it as stealing is really fair.

I'm sure in many cases companies should be providing their workers in these countries with better working conditions, and maybe we should put more pressure on them to do so. But if people are voluntarily working at companies like Foxconn (for example) because it is better than their other options, it's not "theft", its objectively better for them because it gives them more options.
I have this conversation with my attendings regularly regarding scaling back treatment. Everyone has their own comfort level with how aggressive they are doing that, and it would be interesting to see better heuristics that would allow for more appropriate de-escalation sooner (or longer, I guess)
That sounds very interesting and specific.

If it's not a random example and if you're at liberty to say, would you mind elaborating further how Elixir specifically excels in that particular use case, and what would an alternative approach, regardless how cumbersome, be?
You could say the same for Ruby and Rails, to be honest.
Finding the policy is only the first step. For the policies you found, what did they say? If they say they’ll share your vehicle data with third parties whenever they want, that’s not any better, from a purchase decision-making perspective, than no policy at all.
The safety record for commercial airlines is extremely good per mile traveled as compared to pretty much any other form of powered transportation. At some level I share your concerns about UI lag, but it would seem not to negatively affect safety of flights in any detectable way.
A Tag1 TeamTalk Interview with Preston So, Author of Voice Content and Usability
How to Design Your SaaS App: Single-Tenant vs. Multi-Tenant Architecture
Single-tenant SaaS architecture: the tenant owns an application. Each client uses an isolated database, storage, and web server.
Single-tenant design is popular among larger enterprises that want maximal customization and secure solutions.
The customer often hosts the app. Consequently, it’s up to them to develop, host, and maintain the cloud infrastructure.
Multi-tenant SaaS providers allow clients to run sophisticated apps and large databases immediately while spending less money.
As the tenants don’t have to maintain the infrastructure, it allows them to save storage, hardware, and CPU costs. Therefore, it’s a perfect option for startups, medium-sized companies, and organizations with smaller IT teams.
The examples of a multi-tenant architecture include the following services: Gmail, Google Drive, Dropbox, Shopify.

A lot of products are returned in used state, or have very slight use marks like scratches, tiny dents, protective foil that's been removed, etc. These items therefore can't be resold as new.

I have no issue spending $60k+ on a car because I like to drive and a nice car makes me happy every time I get in. There is no way I'd buy a Peloton though: I absolutely hate all fitness classes. I'd rather spend $3k on dumb equipment than $1k on "smart" equipment with classes.

> Erlang's supervision trees could be used as a substitute for Kubernetes in many cases

I disagree, do they solve the same kind of problem? Yes. But the same problems? No.

If part of your application needs to be restarted, why would you restart the whole application?

Kubernetes is not an excuse to avoid application resiliency. Erlang/Elixir is not an excuse to avoid infrastructure resiliency.

Part of your program may crash, your node may crash. Both needs to be restarted.
The relationship between a composer and his regular publisher is not one of employment. And publishers regularly refuse to work further with authors when said author does or says something that the publisher feels will make it look bad. Lawsuits don’t typically happened unless a contract has already been signed for the creator to provide a new work to the publisher, while if the two parties are currently between contracts, there are no grounds for a lawsuit.
The system is actually comprised of two apps, CovPass and CovCheck.

A controlling stake means you own enough shares to have full voting control (i.e., you control the board votes, can appoint the executives and set the company direction) without having to pay for 100% of the shares.

There are a few reasons to only acquire a controlling stake rather than 100% of the shares; you might want to preserve capital for other uses, or leave some shares to be traded on public markets so the stock still has a market valuation.
I believe the concern with the public key is that by adding it directly to the signature format, instead of a key identifier, you're giving a cue to naive implementors that they should trust the key that appears on the signature, which is a bug that has happened with SAML implementations in the past.

I'm just guessing, though.

Amazon Warehouse attempts to get some value out of things that are easy enough or worth it to do a cursory inspection - but if you go to return some small value items Amazon tells you to just keep it/throw it away.

The amount of retail "wastage" that occurs would be surprising to many - one you may have seen is the "book without cover has been reported destroyed" you sometimes see - it's not worth it for publishers to have booksellers ship back unsold inventory.

The rest of it sets up the configuration how I want and compiles other dependencies (like slirp) or is for maintenance, like cleaning up, or downloading.

There is this Jobs interview when he also discusses how there will be a marketplace for objects and people will buy and sell objects instead of software.

In one sense it failed because all it ever saves you is the typing. You still have to learn the whole model, sometimes it is like learning a programming language from scratch.

On the other hand, it may have succeeded. Objects don't exist in isolation but as a library with other objects and frameworks, and APIs are basically object models. You could think of React or the stripe api as object universes.

What is interesting is that you can't sell a developer product like a commercial products. Developers need access to the code so you either make it open source, and sell consulting, or else you make it a web api and rent it out.

In my experience, Haskell's syntax is much simpler than the syntax of any of the popular languages. The "hard" parts of Haskell come with all the abstractions people make (esp. how it encodes side effects), the laziness, and the language extensions. Dhall has none of those.

> but rather how the data storage and retrieval mechanism works

if you are going to rely on a stateful service to do this for you eventually the latencies will add up. for in-memory data, you're going to take a trip to redis and back. For persisted data, you're going to take a trip to postgres and back. Plus internal locks in those systems. Plus if you get bigger, you will need sharding logic, and maybe even another distributed shim (like galera or greenplum) on top, which adds even more latency.

For a real-world example of where supervision trees were very important, I once managed a virtual machine orchestrator I'd written in elixir, and they periodically polled the virtual machines to retrieve state. It's a nontrivial question, what do you do when the state of the system is not what you expect? (perhaps something IRL has changed though a side door) And what do you do if you have multiple concurrent independent systems that are dependent on that real-world state?

With a supervision tree, the solution is simple (1 LOC), you slay the parent supervisor and trigger ALL the relevant processes (and no processes, say, checking in on a different machine) to re-establish the ground truth. And you don't have to wait for containers to spin up, etc, because erlang processes are snappy, so there is less downtime. In the system I was managing there were many, many internal errors (netsplits, etc) and the customers generally didn't notice.
