Small businesses regularly make $20-30k deposits in cash. That represents the weekly cash revenue of a successful McDonald's franchise. You can slip an extra $1-5k in there, weekly - If you do your accounting "right", it looks like you're moving a little more product than you actually are, and is virtually indistinguishable from real business. See Walter White buying a Car Wash in Breaking Bad. You need a bit of scale: 5 or 10 locations to make it really work, but it does work.
In present day Canada, tax payer and corporate dollars go to geomancers in exchange for their services.

>In 1990, Tai emigrated to Canada and started working as a professional geomancer...

>Among some of his commercial clients are banks, shopping malls, office buildings and real estate consortiums groups, who seek his advice in the areas of feng shui, to ensure that their business environments are in harmony. Tai is the exclusive feng shui master hired by HSBC in Canada, continental America and Europe. He was the first Chinese geomancer hired by the Richmond City Hall who employed his services in feng shiu analysis in connection with their official building in B.C. Canada.

He was also paid for work done a 2010 olympic building.

In theory, war criminals get tried and punished accordingly. Since none of them do, clearly the majority isn’t in control of state power in most countries.

As always, the solution is for the majority that do all the work to directly seize state power in a revolution.
I find channels massively overcomplicate many things. Cool in theory, not so useful in practice.

Anymore, I only use them as a semaphore to keep less than X routines running at once.
> it very nearly caused 2 accidents for me this weekend

This wouldn't have been accidental, it would have been fully your own fault for negligence.

I'll fully admit this is a pedantic tangent but it's been long acknowledged that "accident" is a problematic word to describe vehicle crashes because it minimizes the agency of a driver and intentional decision making processes that lead up to a crash (for instance, using an app to navigate instead of being better acquainted with your route ahead of time):

Well Casios are better than TI calculators.

My current favorite calculator is Casio ES-115 PLUS2

https://www.amazon.com/Casio-fx-115ESPLS2-Advanced-Scientifi...

I like it because when you enter sin(pi/12) you get (sqrt(3)-1)/(2*sqrt(2)) in mathematical notation, which is really nice for a $16 calculator.

Here I'm going to hurt TI: If you need a TI-84 or TI-89 for school, the place to get them cheap is shopgoodwill.com:

There are SO many more valuable things on the internet than academic sites with genuinely useful material, even if you're not considering commercial transactions "useful". Forums, blogs, public libraries, newspapers, even if you don't consider the titans which we use so much we take them for granted (Google (Scholar, Books, Maps), Youtube, Amazon, Ebay, etc. etc.)

Just because there are parts of the internet like social media of questionable net positive impact, the sum total utility of the web for humanity has been an overwhelming positive. It's hard to see good things when you're thinking about bad ones. Take a step back.
>Medicare and Medicade alone account for well over a trillion dollars,

damn, right again. That sure is a mind blowing situation the U.S is in.

https://www.cms.gov/Research-Statistics-Data-and-Systems/Sta...

Medicare spending grew 6.7% to $799.4 billion in 2019, or 21 percent of total NHE.

Medicaid spending grew 2.9% to $613.5 billion in 2019, or 16 percent of total NHE.

I'm 46. I have been working in SV since ~1996

I have had several existential crisis wondering *"what the fuck am I doing this for, we produce nothing."*

---

This happened to me at FB, SF, Lucas, Brocade...

I was like "yeah, im doing well professionally, making money - but at the end of the day, it was just "we produce nothing of intrinsic value"

I find it ironic that NFTs are now the version of creating something of digital content, but it has non-fungible (intrinsic value) and they are attempting to make a money laundering network out of NFTs (if you may not be aware, the art market is the largest money laundering scheme ever devised up until where we are at present.

I am currently going through a mid-life, as I can't stand tech at all - but its all I know, so I am attempting to just get into gardening and maybe work at a nursery...
Don’t make a vehicle for bad behavior.
So has Clenbuterol (pure stimulant), Sibutramine (an ADHD medication way before its time, marketed as a weight loss drug by some idiot marketers), and many others.

Really should stop banning drugs because a few morons overdosed on them.

I mean, no one has banned stairs yet. They tried to ban alcohol, but the conviction turned out paper thin.

I guess it is easier to ban something that only benefits a sad small minority. Bonus evil points when the rich can get the drug regardless.
I had a related thought: this was going to be a collection of dead startup tchotchke. The t-shirts, pens, light-up pens, etc. with long forgotten logos. That would be a fun and depressing collection.

The thought made me a little sad because there's a box in my closet with precisely those items emblazoned with the dead logo of my dead startup.
> If anything I'd expect gyms to be better ventilated than offices or supermarkets

I certainly wouldn't be at all surprised if gyms ended up being safer than offices and supermarkets. Offices in particular (where one typically spends hours in the same room) seem pretty unsafe to me.
Yep, still a good read. Great in cultivating some empathy and social acuity.

Really cool tip thank you! Found a garden fork on craigslist and will be picking it up later this afternoon.
>"I'll do 99.90% of it correctly, you watch and catch the 0.1% when I screw up!"

Do you have thoughts on why this is? Is it because, almost by definition, the remaining 0.1% are the toughest problems so the hardest to catch/solve? Or is it a human-factors issue where people get complacent when they know they can count on the machine 99.9% of the time and they lose the discipline to be vigilant enough to catch the remaining problems?
The frustrating part of this type of saga is that nothing will improve from this. It's very likely its not even due to lack of resources.

I'd be fascinated to see a journalist's investigation into why this took Louis needing to go to the internet for something essentially quite trivial. And yes, granting licenses should be regular, boring, routine paperwork.

Good luck. The magic of the internet is that everything is public and interlinked.

Usually within a company the incentives are such that information is more tightly controlled. A software engineer doesn't see purchase orders and an HR specialist doesn't see software assignments. Usually a directory is more useful than a search within a company. Obviously there are exceptions.
Part of the dynamics was also the late 90s OO shift. It was a catastrophy where utter verbosity was confused with engineering. It's basically 1/lisp ..

Here is a popular media source

Others said most of what there is to say but to give an answer from 'OP': them working reliably is the exception.

Out of yellow -> refuses to print black. DRM cartridges that you can't have refilled. Black ink being more expensive than blood. Driver problems. Network issues. Paper jams. Out of paper error when there is paper. Trying to draw from the wrong paper tray. It doing five minutes of warmup exercises when you really want to get going but forgot to print this signed form to hand in. A new printer being literally free if you just buy the ink with it (my grandma has one of those). And so on.

It's insanity more often than not.

Ironically, Linux drivers are (as of ~2013 I've noticed this) more reliably than Windows ones. For scanners also. My dad had to re-add the printer (which works fine on Linux) every time on Windows in the configuration panel. It would say 'offline' but could be discovered and then printed with just fine. But only until it goes into standby mode, the next day it's the same story. Now he got an expensive scanner (the kind where you get business support), same story: it just doesn't see the device half the time. This time it's clearly a device issue though: it also only responds to ping when the computer can work with it (i.e. the device is just unreachable when the computer says it's unreachable; not a driver issue for once). And you pay a few hundred bucks for that.

The big ones at school or in bigger companies, those seem to work reliably most of the time these days, and if one is out of order you can go a floor up and use the next one. I also remember my old boss (RIP) had a printer that never had a single issue -- of course the model went out of production by the time it gained the track record (all I remember is that it was a Brother laser printer, no colors, only one paper tray, no scanning... all that probably helped). Perhaps you, too, had one of these lucky models and were spared these printer problems.

But so yeah that sparked a whole category of jokes on the internet, most people having this experience (at least until a few years ago, perhaps it has gotten better? People also just don't print as much).
Yes of course. But its a fact: a given person can restrict calories from where they are at, and lose more. That's physics. Anything getting away with that simple algorithm is fairly classed under "psychological".

Yep, also over-promising that legacy cars with the "FSD-readiness" upgrade would be guaranteed to support FSD was a completely unforced error.

At this point it's pretty obvious none of the original "FSD ready" cars Tesla shipped will be able to handle L4/L5 autonomy hardware-wise. Arguably none of the cars currently rolling off the line will be either - others have made the point in the thread: while nobody has really cracked autonomy fully, other players (see: Waymo, Cruise) are clearly much further along with a very different sensor and compute suite than anything Tesla has shipped or currently ships.
Ah, that prior comment is dead.

So this is a source just saying they oppose inappropriate expansion. That they want PAs and NPs to practice as part of a team that includes a physician.
I don't really see this
as an issue. I also see PAs, NPs, and nurses as falling into the medical profession and subject to licensing, etc. So I see them as being on the inside of the system, not one of the "other people".

What I was specifically looking for was a source about the second part of this thread - the restriction of residency by the AMA.
Anki (the robotics toy company, not the flash cards) comes to mind. IIRC they had aspirations to build non-toy tech. It didn't work out, though, as they shut down last year.
It's unfortunate - I got one of their vector robots for cheap after they shut down and it's a fun little gadget.
They used up all the stock for the second shot for initial dose to inflate the numbers and hit the goal. We're short on vaccines, which is why the number of people fully vaccinated has stagnated for weeks since June.

Dunno about South Korea or your government, but that’s short selling all the democracies that give a wide variety of people enough rope to hang all their neighbors and then themselves with. My envelope of ballots are often 3 or 4 pages front and back, mostly offices to be filled but generally a good stack of ballot initiatives to go with them, covering two or three elections. Sometimes twice a year.

And that’s just the electoral process. Self-government extends far beyond the ballot box.

Go's errors have basically all the problems of exception handling in previous generation languages (and a few novel ones).

This explains it (tl;dr nobody bothers to formally define what errors they return, and the blindly propagate such unspecified errors, and it leads to ambiguity and unintentional program behavior)

There also seem to be general problems with objects disappearing when they are obscured by other objects, and then reappear later, when no longer obscured.

It is ridiculous, that the model doesn’t keep track of objects, and assume they continue with current velocity when they become obscured. It seems like a relatively simple thing to add depending on how they represent objects. You could even determine when the objects are obscured by other objects.

In 8.x videos I noticed cars shifting and rotating a lot over fractions of a second, so it seemed like they needed a Kalman filter for objects and roads.

Objects in 9.0 look more stable, but I still see lanes, curbs, and entire intersections shifting noticeably from frame to frame. So if they added time (multiple frames) to the model, it is still not working that well.
They probably would be if they stopped using such shitty cameras. It always blows my mind that the cameras they use appear to be quite bad for the job.

Also, none of berries were scorched as mentioned in other threads. We actually had a huge, way above-average raspberry harvest. Maybe we’re just lucky?

Incorrect. What you can buy now is driver assist. I'm talking about actual "no driver at the wheel" driving.

AFAIK, the closest there is WAYMO, but they are geo-fenced. There's also some fixed route low speed buses out there. However, there's no self driving you can purchase which allows you to, for example, nap while the car is driving.
That's the issue parent was raising I believe. You cannot answer a question about complex aspect of a thing by showing the simple parts.

Hi! I'm the author.

1. it's hard to judge about that right away. It would be cool to see the ads data beforehand. If I saw the ad performs poorly I would change it obviously. "[safe] money" is our brand, so it would be strange not to start with it.

2. the ad does not reference crypto. We had a mention of it on the landing page, that is all. We allow people to pay with crypto along with banking cards — so it's kind of your decision to go one way or another.

4. its more or less the same. You can be e2ee if you, say, have an encrypted version of Google Drive. e2ee in this case means that even though there's a server (which we also have) it cannot read the data in any way. We're mostly the same.

5. ok, we'll think about it, thanks!

Thanks for your detailed feedback.

> I wonder what you can practically do to mitigate that at this point; doesn't seem like you go back and change things to be like Java.

Wouldn't there be an obvious trade off there, requiring an extra heap allocation and indirection every time a slice is used in a data structure? I've always thought of Go as lower-level than Java (since it has explicit pointers, more control over memory layout, etc), which I think makes it a more useful language overall even if not the best fit for every application (since if you do want Java, it already exists and is mature).

In other words, I think both Java's and Go's decisions make sense here.
