Well, why _not_ offer this if it's a similar cost the ISP?
Three reasons:

1) They have hundreds of millions of cars sold already with cameras that they can up-sell this to. That means more revenue. But more importantly, more training data. Massive amounts of it. Training data is the real value here. Radar/lidar/etc. might be able to detect better what is obvious to a human just looking at a thing. But given enough training data, a machine learning can probably replicate that capability so you don't actually need the fancy sensors. Adding new sensors to the mix would set them back quite a while on that front.

2) Simplicity. More sensors means more complexity integrating all the signals and gathering the right training data. More failure modes, etc. It probably also means more compute power needed to process all that data. More complex testing, etc. Scaling by keeping the sensor platform simple is a good move here.

3) The hard part of autonomous driving is actually interpreting visual signals in complex or unusual/rare situations. Roads are designed for humans with eyes. Lidar sees a blob, radar detects a pole, a camera sees a traffic sign, road markings that mean something, etc. It's a much richer signal. All the important stuff on roads is clearly visible. So, cameras are far more important for this than lidar/radar. Those are really great for avoiding crashing into things. Not so much for interpreting and classifying those things. And Tesla seems to be doing pretty OK with not crashing into things. Mostly, the amusing edge cases have to do with misinterpreting visual signals for which radar and lidar are probably not that relevant.

It's an interesting approach that they clearly believe that they can make work. It does not actually stop them from later adding more hardware to enhance things if they decide those things are needed. But it's quite interesting how far they are getting with just cameras.

Since I bought an e-bike my car has run its battery flat more than once, which is a good sign of how often it gets used. I had to get one of those drip chargers just to keep the battery topped up. E-bikes are a game changer. Originally I got one because I wrecked my right leg and have trouble getting the bike up to speed (once cruising it is fine though, because that requires much less force). But after a very short time I realized that besides the low starting torque the range is what really made me happy, the fact that even against the wind I can do 50 km in a bit under two hours without arriving dripping with sweat.

I've done a few thousand on the e-bike now and it is only getting used more and more. Car trips are now anything in really bad weather, long distance or with more cargo than the bike can take.

Real estate articles are usually rewritten press releases from the NAR, so really just a bullish viewpoint - either prices are rising so quickly that you have to buy now to lock current prices in, or they're so low that buying now would be a great bargain.
The way I understand it is; you can't compare to mortality rates for other various things because these other various are spread out over a 12 month period. When there is a spike in Covid cases they all happen at the same time, which floods the health system and people die needlessly (e.g. not enough ventilators). People can get very ill (and die) from the flu as well but they don't tend to do this all at the same time (i.e. no spike) but get sick spread out over a longer period of time.
To be fair, this was over a decade in the making.
Blog author here: Yeah, I understand the tension idea.

But even then, say you had 14 LPs each in tension with another LP. That's a 7-dimensional tension equation to figure out. Say you had 6 LPs in 3 pairs in tension with each other, that seems way more manageable.
Yes, surely for established labs with a culture of competence, care, and conscience, which I am sure is the norm in your parts of the world.

I suspect we are framing in terms of two different, almost non-intersecting kinds of institution.

My impression is of reports of "startup" regional labs which have scaled immediately in a pandemic, reportedly hired off the street (not people whose specific vocation and training and life-choice is toward lab technician or manager or scientist), and have resulted in anecdotal reports -- all heresay technically -- of swabs being left lying about in quantity, picked up off the floor, etc etc etc. To me these reports -- perhaps false -- do not intersect with the concern with detail in a lab that knows how to prevent cross-contamination when running at very high PCR amplifications.

I am not bringing any new evidence to this, so I will leave it with clarifying the focus of my concern. I appreciate your standing up for the integrity and integrity-of-process in established labs.

We used to have to do this a lot on my team at Google, except with Google tools (piper and blaze). The difference is that because Google is a monorepo, you often end up with 50K+changes to sort through, at which the log2 propertyy of bisection becomes necessary, not just convenient.

I reckon that all things equal, bad code quality in itself does not increase the chances of success.

Bad code quality may be a symptom of rapid iterations and not burning too much cash on development prior to achieving product-market fit. Ability to rapidly iterate and having enough cash to continue operating would both increase chance of success.

On another hand, it could be possible to have glacially slow iterations while burning truckloads of cash and still have low quality code. E.g. hiring an unnecessarily large team of high-priced developers who are not competent, or trying to operate in the context of some existing complex legacy environment that impedes rapid iterations and delays feedback signals.
It seems like a lot of people are cooking with poorly seasoned cast iron. Once it is actually seasoned, you can wash with soap, scrub it, store it without oil, and cook eggs in it without sticking. Poorly seasons pans are hard to clean, rust easily, and are a pain. I think modern cooks use lower heat and less oil, so are less likely to get a good seasoning.

Exactly, though I would rather put that number at >99%. I would think, its kind of black swan event where in hindsight, everyone thinks its easy to see but it was not.

Recently, we see that here and there with covid research where some single lab (or doctor) comes up with theory that matches some peoples preformed believe. When most scientists then oppose that theory, those people claim that this one of those <1% of cases were all the science is disproven, citing all the cases where it was, failing to see the many more situations where it wasn't.

You can launch DAOs that automate anything these days and take a small percentage from the users of it. Just automate any small aspect of what people do and auto-liquidate proceeds for USD* so that you aren't accidentally speculating on anything, your users can pay for the liquidation too.

*Your oracle server/cron job can incorporate a broker's API to get actual USD, your DAO can only get surrogates such as USDC which is redeemable 1:1 for USD at certain brokerages.

> I think people have an instinct for enriching their genome, that's why we're attracted to features our own group lacks, like different skin/hair color, facial structure, etc.

This is simply false. We know for a fact that humans have an in-group bias. Studies have shown that even infants and toddlers are biased toward their own in-group.

If what you claim is true, we would never have had miscegnation laws. Most people in the world wouldn't encourage marrying their own kind.

Just think about it. If people naturally favored the out-group ( people who look different ), racial/ethnic groups and diversity wouldn't exist. Blue eyes and blonde hair wouldn't exist because they are recessive traits. We wouldn't have any diversity because ethnic/racial groups require in-group bias to exist. The fact that we have black people, white people, indian people, chinese people, etc shows that in-group bias is the norm.

People naturally find their own kind and traits to be attractive. We know it's innate since it exists in babies. To find out-group features to be desirable requires external pressure - media, education, etc.

We were the last generation who could afford housing. I look at kids carelessly running around in a nice neighborhood and think: "by the time you are 30, any of these houses will cost many multiple of your lifetime income, unless you are a successful exec in a big firm, and owning such a house will be like owning a private jet today." In fact, private jets may be cheaper than SFH because jets don't require a chunk of highly desirable land.
I started using OOP with Turbo Pascal and C++ a long time ago, and Elixir 5 years ago roughly.

Yes, I do enjoy FP on the long run, not only to write it but more importantly to maintain it (much easier in my opinion, including refactoring & tech debt reduction).

I still use OO too (e.g. with Ruby), but my Ruby style has gotten more FP-oriented as a result (e.g. ETL components which looks a lot like Elixir modules).
I agree, I think news media is to fixated on generating blocks of text that they can dump on a page or screen somewhere and forget.

I would like to see news organizations build tools that help us understand and follow some of the most complex issues in our society.

If my local news paper reexamined how they stored and then presented the information they already collect day to day, I would have an essential tool learning about and keeping track of what is going on in the world around me.

I suspect inflation will catch up soon enough. I suspect that's actually the major effect. We dumped a ton of money into the economy. I'm not sure how much we can take out without tanking the economy.

My general feeling is that if we hit 50% inflation due to COVID19, we're about right. Economists would disagree with me, but I think the alternative is a deep structural wound to our economy.
That is an excellent example of government overreach.

No, when interest rates rise, prices of houses will go down to what people can afford as monthly payments. Principal Price of house amortized + interest = monthly payments

If people's income have been increasing,they will be able to afford slightly higher monthly payments but it's all going to be eaten by interest.

No that's not at all how it works. No one really uses free fall depth charges any more. A submarine under attack won't just sit there because it would be easier to target with active sonar; instead they will usually maneuver at low, quiet speed to escape or gain a firing position.

What are the complexities of the issues at play? It seems pretty straight forward that there is a global pandemic, and that there is a vaccine which significantly prevents the spread of the disease as well as ameliorates the worst symptoms. Requiring people to have the vaccine seems pretty straight forward, especially when "an exceptions process for those who cannot be vaccinated for medical or other protected reasons" exists.
FWIW, not for me either. I run mail servers for a small(ish) organisation.

In fact, I'd say it's getting easier, not harder. There was a time when fairly arbitrary rules were applied (like "thou shall not send email from a dialup IP Address). They seem to have mostly gone now, and when they are still in place you can just self report via a web form you are not being naughty and it's all good.

But you do have to keep your nose clean. Do not send SPAM, under any circumstances. Sounds easy, and indeed it is easy if you are just running a mail server for an organisation where all mail you are sending is generated by people within that organisation. But if you are doing something that involves relaying emails, eg something like running a mailing list, it becomes harder.

To give an example - I run a mail server for a club of maybe 20 people. All email is strictly policed, eg you have to sign up, all sign ups are reviewed by a human, including any email asking to sign up. All good right? Nope, because the club has to have at least one email address (say for the secretary) that does not involve signing up. Those emails are all moderated of course - but you are notified of emails waiting for moderation via email. Those notifications contain snippets of the original. If one of the moderators has a GMail account, those snippets triggering SPAM filters can get your server banned by google. The solution is to run a imap server for secretary@ and get them to fetch it manually. Bypass Google for all relayed email in other words.

So you have to follow the rules and it's not always obvious what you have to do to follow the rules, but it ain't impossible, and in fact once you know what the rules are it isn't even hard. Any capable sysadmin could do it.
The wisps you see from olive oil on a frying pan is steam, unless of course the pan is crazy 10/10 hot, at which point any cooking oil will burn.

I fry most things in either extra virgin olive oil or butter. The olive oil stands up to the heat better than butter (the milk solids will burn).

> It is illegal to shout "Fire" in a crowded theatre. Why? Because it is common sense that it is dangerous, can cause lives to be lost.

Actually it's not, but it's a super common misunderstanding and I'd guess that most people familiar with the phrase believes it is, unfortunately. From Wikipedia:

> The case was later partially overturned by Brandenburg v. Ohio in 1969, which limited the scope of banned speech to that which would be directed to and likely to incite imminent lawless action (e.g. a riot).

It's not that there are no constitutionally bannable types of speech, it's just that yelling "fire" in a crowded theatre isn't one of them. I don't know if this ruling affected individuals' ability to sue charlatans for damages arising from believing their lies (e.g. "there is no virus" or "the vaccine is actually more dangerous") but I'm guessing there's a really high threshold to cross.

I believe it's still that way for low-end machines. For higher end ones, there's some range of security-by-obscurity to actually secure. And a bunch of tools to circumvent, ranging from open source (like the one I referenced), hardware assisted, to pay-per-unlock services.

Some high end machines also have specific solder points you can ground out during boot, but it's not shorting a battery, it's setting a GPIO state.
