I've met Muslims with the most extreme views you could imagine. Third generation immigrants raised in the Western world still believing that "white" women deserve to be raped, teaching their children to only socialise with their own kind. I'm not sure what can you get from my comment, neither do I understand what anyone could possibly get from yours.

Also, saying that someone "deserves" something says more about you than them and can some day come back and bite you on the ass.

No. The Colorado river is big. I mean really big. And we are using it all.

Sure the Mississippi has more than enough water, but the elevation of the source of the Mississippi (where you can walk across it) is a lot lower than most of the Colorado river. That means we need massive numbers of pumps to get that work to where it is needed. We can't afford that, either economically, or CO2.

To be clear we're not talking about a board that performs surveillance. We're talking about government responsibility to set rules, and to investigate and prosecute violations of those rules.

I agree that bad things can be done by bad people. The more interesting question to me is whether or not the potential badness is outweighed by the benefits. In this specific case, I think better surveillance would have done more to prevent January 6 than to exacerbate it. Clearly in retrospect, social media data was instrumental in prosecuting those who physically entered the capitol. So in this case I think more surveillance would have improved the situation.

My problem with Uber is I had great records. The offer was get $XXX when you start driving with us. Period. I went through the process. No payment.

So I followed up. Ohh they said, it's actually get $XXX when you do 5 rides or whatever.

Fine, I did that. No payment.

Then they said it's actually $XXX if ... at that point I was just like peace out. This was ages ago so they may have cleaned up their act, but I was not impressed.

Interesting concept. I went ruthless too, but in categorizing and leaving the scene asap instead of discarding. Discarding made me feel bad (because I was really losing things I wanted later).

I used to save everything to "see later" and get lost like you described, but instead I now host a TiddlyWiki locally where I transform what I see in a wiki reference (or discard).

Doing that allows me to filter out things that are temporary (news, opinions, etc) from things that might be useful later (book recommendations, cool projects, etc).

The big trouble remains in timeboxing this practice so it doesn't take a lot and become a problem again.

(I think the biggest lesson I took from that is that most of what we see that is important is time-insensitive. So, doing this work of saving and categorizing over a batch of content in a weekend hour is just fine)
GNU/Linux don't even have a notion of security let alone having anything comparable to even backdoored android/ios.

No, but nobody had any interest in creating a reusable suborbital rocket. Hobbyists can do that, it just isn't very hard. The reason why what Falcon9 does is hard is the margins are so slim, to be able to get big payloads to high orbits, and still have fuel left to land from that speed and altitude, usually on a boat!

What blue origin is doing is vastly simpler.

yes, some intermediate devs I've worked with are unable to do almost anything except write code. e.g. unable to generate an ssh key without assistance or detailed cut and paste instructions.
In my previous job I have worked for a company that developed enterprise focused encrypted chat apps. When interviewing potential hires, one of the first general questions we asked was to give a high-level list of possible attack vectors on an installed app and its user data. Very few developers even considered the OS and device themselves as a potential threat, despite these interviews taking place well after Snowden revelations.
You can also make an argument to wait with the underwater exploration a few decades until better tools have been developed.

So did the countries in the EU yet we still do compariaons by country.

If you want a fairer assesment data-wise between countries, compare population and state by country. Headlines like painting the US as a whole as bad, but for instance, my state has life expectancy as many European countries. But if we just used US data compared to said European country, it would look like we don't live as long when that's incorrect compared to my states policies.

All state governments are significantly autonomous to the degree of many EU countries. We can handle our own policies how we wish with minimal intervention elsewhere.

The average HN user - usually in the upper middle class - are certainly on the beneficial side of this. They've received a cheap private chauffeur service, albeit decentralized, that they use to a greater extent than they would ever use taxi because of its affordability (ofc made possible by VC money and offloading costs to the drivers). The self-interested confirmation bias in HN threads about the gig/ride taxi industry must be seen in that light.

MSPL tech is (or used to: unclear if remote work will change this) appealing b/c of the corporate cluster around there, and the city's future despite last year seems ok as it's the main eastern urban hub for all the rural farming stretching west of it.

Several world-class scientists disagree (including some Nobel prize winners.) Regardless of semantics, the "vaccines" definitely do permanently and irreversibly configure your body's own cells to produce foreign spike proteins, thus inducing a permanent autoimmune response. We don't really need any more autoimmune diseases.

These mRNA "vaccines" have resulted in the deaths of all animals tested in several trials, yet we gave this therapy to countless millions of humans without fully informed consent, in violation of the Nuremberg protocols.

Well the arm CPUs we use are in general purpose computers as well. Though you are correct, we don't follow the same practices as general purpose computers.
> Not true! It implies we might find performance optimizations, especially at the lowest level. Lazy loading, caching, pointers to constants, that sort of thing.

The issue is that you can only learn whether you're in a simulation if the simulator allows you to do so. Otherwise, the moment that you discover a performance optimization, the simulator could just pause the simulation, delete the discovery from your mind, and resume.

To be blunt, while the macOS 11 UI is not all bad, it contains very serious design mistakes, ruining things that everyone has no choice but to use (like notifications and alerts). Somehow Apple doesn’t get how terrible this trend is, and that it is damaging their entire brand. I can only assume the hierarchy at Apple is broken to the point where the people in charge are either unreachable, or unresponding to feedback, while having entirely too much control.

And as far as dumbed-down tools, it really feels like literally no one inside Apple even uses their tools (or they have access to better stuff and don’t care). For instance, “Console” - once the simplest imaginable concept with an implementation that everyone would expect - is now a pointless mess. An app that should have obvious behavior and usability is now just confusing every time I open it, leaving me feeling defeated because I cannot even find what I need. They messed it up and moved on, like many other things.

Pretty tired of seeing people surprised and concerned when they get a look at how the sausage is made like this. Bill Binney in 2002 and Edward Snowden in 2013 should have disabused us all of any pretense of order and justice in this system.

Unless it's been edited, the comment says that SpaceX has been around "for two years less"; as in 2 fewer years than Blue Origin, which is essentially true (Sept 2000 vs May 2002; so really more like "a year and a half less").
Thank you for the kind words and great questions.

We have been very thoughtful to build as flexible a framework as possible to support all those various use cases you said (not only in our user interface but also our API). We want to give end-users across the continuum of use cases the tools they need to be able to make Epsilon3 as useful for them as possible.

We have a ton of ideas on applying ML on our side for exactly those use cases you described (metrics, analysis, reporting) but also for anomaly detection, error handling/risk reduction, and continuous improvement.

We have our job openings posted at https://angel.co/epsilon3/. We're always on the lookout for strong full-stack software engineers.

The rating system was one of the major innovations. In the taxi system, bad behavior had no direct consequence for the individual drivers, and so it was rampant.
One thing I'm trying out now is setting a personal 6 month focus area. So everything I read or consume individually (excluding time spent with family and friends) should be related to this area of focus as much as possible. That means either saying no to everything else I come across that's interesting or just putting it on a list for later in case I choose that topic as an area of focus in the future.

I remember visiting the oldest library in California a couple years ago and it was just a small room. At that time, it was conceivable that one could learn all the knowledge available. Now it's just not possible. I think the trick is to figure out up front what you want to focus on and only consume things related to that.
I guess one difference is that when you inspect it, it doesn't indicate that it is a `point`, just that it's named tuple of two variables, so it's not exactly equivalent.

I don't think anyone pretends Uber and Lyft are "magnanimous". They saw that the existing taxi industry was a bad deal for both drivers and riders and figured they could make money by giving drivers and riders a better deal.

I think you're assuming a zero-sum rule of the world where the only way Uber or Lyft can benefit is by taking away from their riders and drivers. That's not how any of this works.

The Consequences of Fatherlessness
One flaw with the analogy is that a pretty significant portion of suicides (successful or attempts) are impulsive. Many people who attempt it have literally no idea they will when they wake up that morning.

A 2001 University of Houston study of survivors of near lethal attempts showed that 70% of them had only decided to do it an hour or less before the attempt, and 24 percent had only spent 5 minutes before the attempt.

If when attempting it, they discover that their chosen method won't work for some reason, many will just give up on killing themselves rather than looking for an alternative measure.

This has been reliably seen many times. If a change is made such that one suicide method becomes unfeasible, the overall attempt rate drops. If one were committed to offing oneself it is almost impossible to stop them, as there are countless ways to do it. But the statistics are very clear that if some method is removed, alternatives are not always used.

The British had an issue with people killing themselves with oven fumes, back when the ovens used coal gas which created a lot of carbon monoxide, with this accounting for about 50% of suicide deaths. When things were changed to use natural gas where this approach does not work, suicides dropped by 30%. Obviously while that means a portion ending up using some other method, many others simply never killed themselves.

Of 515 people prevented by police from jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge between 1937 and 1971, by the end of the 70s only 6% of them had committed suicide by other means.

Weirdly even some of the non-impulsive cases where people had planned an attempt for days or weeks just give up if their plan is foiled, rather than coming up with some alternative method.

Now obviously not everybody is like this. Some people will continue to try over and over until they succeed. But the numbers suggest that those are very much a minority.
NASA is the one making those Moon/Mars missions actually happen. Companies like SpaceX or Blue Origin are just vendors that help NASA to have greater flexibility and do more with less. It's the same reason your company is able to move faster by leveraging pre-built solutions like Stripe/Twilio/Okta/etc. instead of re-building every one of those services in-house.

It's artificial when the vendor expends additional time, effort, or funds to construct a barrier, or chooses an equally-priced non-interoperable design that a rational, informed consumer with a choice would reject. If you're expending great effort to write custom DRM or to reinvent open industry standards that you could have installed cheaply, that's artificial.

I fully admit that there are natural barriers that occur at times. I don't think that you should be expected to reverse-engineer your competitor's products and bend over backwards to make them work better.

Here, for a concrete example, Intel had a clear choice to test whether a processor supported a feature by checking a feature flag - It's in the name, they're literally implemented for that exact purpose - or they could expend extra effort in building their own feature flag database by checking manufacturer and part number. They could have either expended extra effort to launch and distribute their own entire custom Python distribution, or submitted pull requests to the existing main distribution. For another example, Apple could have used industry-standard Phillips or Torx screws in their hardware: Manufacturers had lines to produce them, distributors had inventory of the fasteners, users had tools to turn them. Instead, they went to great expense to build their own incompatible tri-lobe screws, requiring probably millions of dollars in investment in custom tooling and production lines, all for the sake of creating an artificial barrier.

You could do that, but you can also throw money in the bin. Secrets Managers is basically a paid for wrapper around SSM Parameter Store. Last I checked the only nice thing it had was automatic key rotation. The price for that ? 50cents per secret per month. That will add up pretty quick.

Dafuq? Did you seriously just say that? More importantly, you can't possibly believe it can you?

I'm pretty close to bein' classified as a "boomer" myself (ignorant, insulting, and dismissive term, BTW, but surely you were well aware of that already), and as such I associate with folks from well above and below the age of 40, and I know a lot of folks both sides of that line that have massive problems with mass surveillance (corporate or government), and others (again, at both sides of that age line) who will defend mass surveillance to the death as some sort of magical "solution" to societal violence and crime. Pretty sure this issue isn't at all accurately defined by age groups.

The problem is that most "normal average" folks simply aren't even aware there is an issue to be worried about, and those few that are aware are at one extreme of it or the other, with no possible discussion or agreement allowed in today's "Us vs Them" political world. All the while, the evil fukkerz creating the problem just go ahead as planned with nobody doin' anything substantial to stop them.
If this was the case, Uber/Lyft would likely simply charge the higher price all the time, paying the drivers the same amount they pay normally, and pocket the difference.
