Well if you think of this closed beta as a way for Tesla to collect data about its program's shortcomings it's easy enough to see how releasing could save lives in the long run even it is takes some in the short run. Every day sooner that a 10x better self driving car comes is hundreds of lives saved.
Agreed. And what is exactly expected to be done, if sticking to strictly "Markdown spec"? You can't do anything meaningful with such a small subset of language features, where as Obsidian and Obsidian Plugins are all about extending Markdown to provide additional features ontop of the language, but stored in plain markdown.

This would only be non-Markdown if it fundamentally broke something in Markdown. Ie lists no longer worked, or *bold* was used to link documents, etc.
I agree nearly everything from the site looks shady. But I'm not convinced that being opaque about why something was rejected is what's preventing scammers from making stuff that doesn't look like a scam. Scams look like trash because the effort to reward has to match. If you're gonna spend hours and hours perfecting some scam site, you might as well just provide the service. Obviously there are some tradeoffs but hell, even a generic link to a user support group would prevent small, inexperienced people from getting crushed by the cogs like this.
> But I'd like to point out that the Conservatives in the UK are nothing like Libertarians. There are a few perhaps, like the MP in the article, who would like to think of themselves that way. But the Conservatives as a whole are Authoritarian bordering on Totalitarian, and they are the most Authoritarian of all the big parties (more than the left).

I agree, however the media insists on talking about Johnson's "Libertarian instincts" and the "Libertarian wing of the party". I don't see them as very Libertarian at all! See also drug policy, protest bill, internet surveillance, housing market interventions...

They can form molecules where nitrogen is not in its lowest energy bond (which is the triple-bond N2 gas) and where a reaction to this lower energy molecule can be triggered with some small activation energy. The energy released provides the activation energy for nearby material so you get a chemical chain reaction.

Why has it never occurred to me that I might be able to use a QR code? I always do `sudo cat /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/TheSSID.nmconnection | grep psk`, type in my root password and then re-type the passphrase manually on my phone. The amount of time this is going to save me…
This looks like a tremendous breakthrough in this domain, very impressive. I was similarly impressed by their Alphastar AI agent which could play Starcraft 2 at a pro level (this is actually a very difficult problem to solve).

I'm similarly disappointed that, like with that effort, the methods and techniques will not be shared with the scientific community.
Ideally, you'd train/teach it using PR code reviews. Human labeling and all that jazz.
Yup, the classics always get more attention in retrospect because they're the ones that survive. If all the superhero stuff is depressing remember that from the invention of cinema until New Hollywood in the 70's every third piece of entertainment (if not more) was a western/cowboy movie/show.
It's not odd, we're coming off of a global pandemic where people were commuting less, saving more (no daycare, not eating out), and collecting stimulus checks. Meanwhile, the businesses that should have failed because of the drop in consumer spending were kept alive with PPP loans.

At the same time, companies like Tesla and Micro-strategy are pouring billions into a new finite asset class.

There's simply more cash flowing into the system, it's just run of the mill inflation.
I guess you'll need to show some data because in every American city I've studied income is positively and strongly correlated with private vehicle travel. Poor people are not obligate drivers; they disproportionately walk and bike and take the bus. A typical result that I just drew from my PDF library says "higher income, higher educational attainment, and smaller household sizes tend to be associated with a higher probability of commuting by private vehicle and a
lower probability of commuting by transit or active modes."

Being fed up with NYC is one thing.

Telling your wife and kids that you know they have friends and relationships and a school they are used to that they're moving a thousand miles within the next three weeks, and you're sure your kid's best friend or your teenager's boyfriend or your wife's book club will be fantastic penpals is quite another. And that isn't even touching on family ties.

I have a friend who moved to Portland recently. Ended up moving back three months later because his very young child couldn't handle not being able to spend time with his grandparents. People develop roots, and do not transplant easily on a timeframe measured in weeks.
In this case I'd prefer if "discovering error cases" was done without risking actual lives. Injuring someone would not be a valid way discover an error case.
At every people’s house, I see a cupboard with the chemicals. WD-40, 90° alcohol, acetone, white spirit, all in the same IKEA (=plywood) cupboard (although it would be hard to protect children if they were each in a different cupboard too). I wonder how many fires start from the chemicals cupboard. We know that a lot of artists had their rag pile spontaneously heating up then catching fire…
Program Spaces and Interesting Counterexamples
There are also lots of techniques to turn notes on paper into something else than a stream of words. For example you could create mind maps, tables, diagrams.

From my personal experience I also found I remembered hand written notes much better than notes I took on the laptop. While learning for tests at university I made it a point to write down the most important points from handouts into s ring book in order to better memorize the content.

You do understand that if Turing killed himself accidentally, that's good for the "crown"? (The British government is not "the crown".)

It doesn’t say NSA intercepted traffic, broke TLS, or even encryption at rest (even though NSA may have such capability to some extent and in some cases).

They could have simply read emails stored on servers of the email provider in plaintext, or have used keys handed over to them.

People rarely use end to end encryption. If it’s not e2e, somebody else, and thus NSA too, has the keys.
The fact that it 'only' requires human intervention so rarely is still incredibly dangerous. You can't ask a human to have complete focus for hours on end when they're not making any inputs, and then require them to intervene at a moment's notice. That's not how humans work.

Also, the fact that they're distributing safety critical software to the public as a 'beta' is just insanity. How many more people need to die as a result of Autopilot?

They are limiting pretty much all high-intensity exercise in an attempt to prevent the spread by way of heavy breathing.

Say goodbye to Gangnam Style, treadmill running for next 2 weeks: Some Level 4 distancing rules being called ‘illogical, nonsensical’

"Under Level 4 rules, taking showers within fitness club premises is prohibited and only a limited number of users are allowed in each area at a time.

At the same time, the running speed on treadmills is capped at 6 kilometers per hour. Music played at group exercise classes at fitness clubs cannot exceed 120 beats per minute."
I think the difference is releasing self driving provides the data Tesla needs to improve it. Releasing a half baked drug doesn't help the pharma company improve it.

If you're asking whether that would be awesome if it lead to pharmaceutical innovations I think it would.
In my opinion, a self-driving car which drives me smoothly for 6 hours then drives straight into a concrete pillar without warning isn't doing "remarkably well". That should be enough to get it pulled.
A 10 long protein has 21^10 possible sequences. That is already a hard number to guess-and-check.

If you wanted to make a more reasonable length protein, of say 100-200, you would run out of atoms in the universe to do computations with.
> The craziest thing is we keep seeing the phrase "the link between infections and deaths has been broken".

Death rates have fallen from a peak of around 1000 deaths per day in feb - with comparable infection rates, to 6 deaths per day. https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/

i think most people would consider that to be having broken the link, between infection and death.

My interpretation was: "what is responsible for the inflection point that occurred in 1980?"

Perhaps it's still not a single factor (which, I agree, would make a lot of sense) but IIUC that does raise the question of why there seems to be a single inflection point.
I don't understand what "looks like scam" means here. How is the ad substantively different than other non-scam-looking ads for financial services?

My view on this is somewhat skewed since I rarely see ads at all, I tend to view every ad I do see as suspect, and consider anything to do with money/finances to be especially suspicious.
I couldn't care less what version the software is as soon as the vehicle drives around in the real world. Imagine driving with "FSD" on and hitting someone because of an issue in your "Beta" software.

It's called "littering". Enforce your existing laws against people leaving crap on public property.
> The problem is you don't understand the meaning of what you've written.

This is the problem with the attitude of compiler writers. Of course there are bugs. Nobody perfect. Pobodys nerfect? If I accidentally left a sign overflow in the code, or something of that nature, I think any (human) reading the code would understand what I meant, but the compiler is like "'Lets get weird!'". Yes I CAN get the meaning through the existing construct. That, however, is not my point. I am perfectly skilled and capable of doing this. What I'm questioning is why tool vendors think it's useful or practical to take advantage of users mistakes. I'd rather have a diagnostic of "why are you adding these numbers multiple times?" then have the compiler silently rewrite something I did on purpose.

I'm not writing this in the abstract, I'm writing this because things like this have hurt me in the past. It's super annoying. I don't care about your optimization to make things five percent faster if I spend three days debugging why the release build crashes if the window is full screen, but the debug build runs fine 100% of the time. The code has a bug, I own this, but I don't see how the attitude of "if your code has a bug, we will turn it into fucking dragons" is even remotely useful. Usually it's not even my code I'm fixing, it's someone elses. I just want people to stop breaking things to meet a dumb benchmark.

Californian citizens have spent decades fighting tooth and nail to prevent any housing from being created, and have basically turned their local governments into anti-development walls, and pursued every private tactic available as well. But that isn’t an unforeseen problem with government so much as a problem with the government representing the actual wishes of their shitty residents.

"Free Democracies" are passing the weirdest restrictions. It's mind boggling just how much power our governments are allowed to wield. I'm not even a libertarian and I think this is government overreach. So you're going to allow people to work out in gyms, but playing music that's too fast is somehow too dangerous to allow? Come on. If it was a real problem you'd just close the gyms again.
I live in Greater London, Dagenham to be precise. There is no Defacto mask mandate here. About 50% of people wear one in supermarkets. And that's excluding anyone excempt and any kids etc. I took the train to town last Friday. Central line, Bank to Stratford at 5pm, one in 4 weren't wearing a mask. Same on the overground.

The same applies to getting people to sign in at restaurants etc. And to social distancing and testing and vaccination programs. I've had younger friends tell me they don't want the vaccine ("I don't know what's in it" says the guy famous for snorting other people's Coke). I had to convince my dad to get the jab.

Britian is culturally and politically incapable of anything but the worst possible outcome here. Parts of the US seem to be in the same position.
It's probably more reasonable to invoke antitrust if companies have such a dominant position that getting banned from one dooms your business.

How to Export Certificates from Windows for Use in Apache/Nginx on Linux
Yes, while the web may seem "open" due to its fragmented nature of hosting, Google wants all content to reside in their own walled garden so it can quickly kill competition. AMP was a major play towards that. Also, all (?) their money makers are closed source and proprietary - which is just fine by me, but Google should own up to what they really are instead of projecting a fake "open" image of themselves.
it's close enough that you can write your own parser to some other format with a little bit of hacking, in fact that's what I did to port my notes from obsidian to logseq a while ago.

Of course it's a little bit of trouble but I imagine most people won't want to switch their notetaking apps that frequently.
If you think words don't have this problem, you should read into Jacques Derrida's concept of différance. This may be more apparent in emojis since they're relatively newer.

What are "low-grade fires"?
I think it's bad business to be this opaque and to not point to a specific policy detail. There's also a case to be made for whether the outsized impact of such refusals is evidence in favor of a company being a harmful monopoly; I think it's certainly supporting evidence in that direction. On the other hand, this post talks about having a similar response from Microsoft, and those companies didn't collude; they just have similar policies, likely for similar reasons. This may have been a false positive, or on the other hand, it might be a true positive; we don't know much about this business or why they were declined, but for instance the mention of "get out of debt" in this context sounds shady, and "sounds shady" is not an unreasonable threshold for denying an ad.

I also think "we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone" applies no matter who you are. I don't support the idea of legislation that forces giving detailed policy responses, or any responses at all.

Google (and others) have formed a business around having policies so automated that half the people involved might not even know what the policy is, just "computer says no" or "computer flagged it and someone somewhere in the review process said no". I don't think that practice should be banned; on the contrary, it should be possible to try the approach of using automation to be able to scale.

And that's a potential opportunity for other competitors; one demonstrated path to success in competing with a company like Google is providing better support and real human interaction.

If it turns out that a company is succeeding in spite of awful service, it might be because their product is just that good to overcome that deficiency, or it might also be because their monopoly prevents people from competing with them even with a better product. That's worth examining. But I don't think that's an argument that people should be forced to explain why they don't want to do business with someone; I think that's an argument that we should make sure that it's possible to compete fairly and offer better service to people who want better service.

> try to figure out why it takes you so long to know anything about anything.

External dependencies changing without warning at the worst possible times. And many of them we can't arbitrarily prune because when you boil it down they ultimately support things which have a contract value associated with them. The system is large and complicated, mostly necessarily so, which makes it brittle. We spent time making it less brittle and attacking the complexity, but its still large and brittle. We don't get to go back to startup square 1 where we don't have those kinds of contracts and get to reconsider the business decisions that have been made over the past decade.
Yes, that is it. It is certainly not perfect yet, but controls on who can obtain passports are sadly the norm in the entire world. And indeed the price of the plane ticket stays the most significant hurdle.
I understand the intent, but if it's too risky to be in a gym with people working out in sync with 120bpm, then my personal risk assessment would say it's too risky to be in the gym, period. I wouldn't feel any better just because the music was 90bpm. Edit: Then again, humans are notoriously bad at evaluating risk, so I may be way off base. :-)
I'm a second-generation Chinese-American who learned my first ~200 Chinese characters by handwriting and then everything else from the internet.

I'll explain. Some scams are actually more effective when they appear like scams, see [1] for the classic example of why Nigerian Prince e-mail scams have intentional bad grammar etc.

Any business that is sophisticated enough to build a genuine product is also usually sophisticated enough to realize that "the message is the medium", that a professional non-scammy appearance is required for most customers to even consider trusting it, and so invest in professional graphic design. This goes doubly or triply so for anything finance-related or that takes your finance credentials -- that requires huge trust.

So on those two principles, when something looks like a scam, it much more likely is -- because for certain categories of scams, scammers want it to look that way, and non-scammers don't. "Scammy apperance" is a genuinely meaningful signal in practice.

But if you don't believe that, then there's this bridge I'm selling... ;)

This is fascinating, thanks for sharing.

Many (most?) of these plots have known, and different explanations - e.g. the wage stagnation at the top is due to public policy changes in the 70s; the rise in marriage age is probably due to birth control becoming prevalent in the 60s, but it is really interesting to see all the effects gathered in one place of the repercussions in the past 50+ years from all the societal and political changes that happened in the 60s and 70s.
> I think it depends what they actually are trying to accomplish

Good point. "Full Self Driving" in my mind paints a picture beyond "a better cruise control". But maybe they meant that and just named it wrong.
I think you have it backwards: fructose is a monosaccharide which is metabolized almost instantly, and sucrose is a disaccharide which requires additional energy to metabolize. Glucose is the end result, but glucose isn't what is added to industrial foods. So more effort is required to use sucrose than fructose, and I believe that is the source of the issue.
