Found this issue tracker with related information: https://forums.puri.sm/t/using-non-latin-language-on-librem-... Looks like they're still far from basic feature parity with HK: they don't have key-specific popups for alternate inputs, and are unclear on how to support shift as a "true" modifier key (as HK does) without interfering with their existing UX, which is oriented towards composing text without necessarily involving the application. (This can be especially beneficial on smaller devices, where the "keyboard" can actually be a full-screen view with the only function being pure text entry.) A more PC-like layout would still provide some benefits though.
The Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) from NHTSA codes every fatal motor vehicle accident in the United States, including collisions with pedestrians. It's a magnificent data set used widely in the insurance industry, but also by engineers in related sectors. It would be my goto dataset if I was in your position.

Not necessarily. Recently, Miami condo collapes. In the not too distant past London building fire. I'm sure if we were to go looking, we could find more examples. Are these edge cases?

I have less experience with other trades, but you did call out construction separately. My family comes from construction backgrounds at various levels. The 80s in the US saw a boom in the 20 story building construction, and then saw a total collapse (no pun intended) in the construction industry. There are lots and lots of building contracts won by lowest bidder, and the only way to do that is cutting corners somewhere. Usually in quality of material, or reducing the "over-engineered" portions to the point of risking saftey, etc.

It's also widely known in construction that the permitting offices can be gamed. Talk to the right people with the write phrases. NYC is infamous in that people playing by the rules get absolutely nowhere. You have to start spending cash and using influence to get things done. It's all just pointless to being corrupt.

>This vehicle inflation has been largely driven by fuel economy and safety regulations.

Why don't we see this in europe, or japan, or any other first world urban area where you see a proliferation of tiny trucks, tiny vans, tiny vehicles, mopeds, etc? Surely these other places also chased fuel economy savings and safety, but they ended up with a market that looks (and weighs) a lot different. I doubt these cars are any more dangerous or less fuel efficient than some American market car. What sort of policies were enacted in these places that lead to the markets for these small vehicles, which we don't see here?
Thanks :) Also, another improvement to protect metadata that we're working on is https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/blob/rav/proposal/r... (and relatedly https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/blob/neilalexander/...). By giving each sender in a given room its own public key, you can de-correlate the identities between rooms by blowing away the mapping that links a matrix ID to an identity in a given room. (Of course, a malicious actor could deliberately monitor this and de-de-correlate - to which P2P is the longer term solution.)
"Let’s imagine an A.I. engineer who wants to create a chatbot that aligns with human values. Where is she supposed to go to determine a reliable metric of “human values”? Humanities departments? Critical theory? Academic institutions change their values systems all the time, particularly around the use of language. Arguably, one of the most consistent, historically reliable, widely accepted system of ethics in existence belongs to the Catholic Church. You want to base a responsible A.I. on that? No doubt, in practice, the development of the ethics of natural language processing will be stumblebum. There will be the piecemeal work of the technologists, elaborate legal releases indemnifying the creators, P.R. responses to media outrage—and, of course, more chatbot fails."

Agreed. Slack threads are unbearable.
There are a few previous discussions floating around [0,1]. A good rule of thumb is to submit your stuff only if you think people here would find it interesting (the same as any other submission). It'll be a normal article submission, not a Show HN or something (as per the rules in that section). If you have enough of a following you might just wait for them to submit your blog posts -- serving as a bit of a natural filter for what other people think is a good fit for HN.

I came to say similar. I ran a personal blog for a while and toy with the idea of revamping it occasionally. But my objections generally fall into two categories:
* For tech-heavy programming/operations how-to or bugfix content, Stack Overflow killed those for me. As a consumer would rather find the bubbled-up "right" answer than wade through Google hits for forums/blogs that may or may not be right. As a writer, I no longer felt my personal blog was the best place for such content.
* For opinions on current events, industry, etc. I don't feel I have something new or important to say.

I feel old and curmudgeonly now. Thanks.
Anonymity isn't a guarantee. But with reasonable op sec e.g. don't use your nick elsewhere, don't tell people about your blog, don't promote under your name, you're pretty safe so long as you mostly stay away from politically controversial issues. (Which may be why some people want to blog of course, but I have no interest.) Frankly, you're pretty safe so long as you stay away from polarizing topics and kicking hornet nests in any case but anonymity does add another layer of protection. Of course, you don't get professional benefit either if that's a concern.

> Not claiming this at all, didn’t mention alcohol.

Wait, so you claim it of people who want to quit unspecified "hard drugs", but not alcohol specifically? Attendance to alcoholics anonymous is voluntary (usually, though sometimes a court compels it.) Use of this application is also voluntary. So what's the fundamental difference here?

> groups (esp religious ‘addiction’ services) _organizing_

If this is really key to what you're getting at, then it makes no sense for you to exclude Alcoholics Anonymous from your ire since that is an organized group that is religion-adjacent if not outright religious.

I do think that civilization will collapse. We are too optimistic, we don’t see ourselves failing; we have watched too many Hollywood movies and we think we will save ourselves no matter what.

Think for a moment what would happen if we, the whole planet, all decide one Sunday afternoon : it’s enough, it’s fine if the entire human race doesn’t make it 100 years more. Let’s leave the planet to the other species. Thanks for all the fish!
Agreed. I grew up with a Pontiac 6000 that was 190"x72"x54" and 3100lbs.

A current Honda Accord is 192"x73"x57" and 3400lbs. Not a massive difference and I'll assume the added safety equipment makes it safer overall even for pedestrians.

And a Hyundai Santa Fe (typical mid-sized SUV) is 188"x75"x66" and 4200lbs.

A new F150, the best selling vehicle in the US, is even more massive at 209"x95"x75" and around 5000lbs.

It takes a lot of safety equipment and design to overcome nearly 1600lbs of mass (over the current Accord), plus the visibility impact of such a large vehicle. To put it in context, 1600lbs is about the weight of a vintage VW Beetle.

>Commercial needs that used to be served by these small vehicles are being solved by F150s and Transits. Commuters who used to commute in hatches and wagons which could sufficiently perform their weekend duties as well are buying crossovers and SUVs which have nearly identical interior dimensions. This vehicle inflation has been largely driven by fuel economy and safety regulations.

I don't understand what you're saying here. Are you implying SUVs have better fuel economy? Because they don't? Also generally safety regulations are tougher in Europe, but cars are smaller, so I don't believe that SUVs comply better with safety regulations either.

Meh, this _seems_ like bull.

I'm located in the state to the south of the one this article talks about, and we did a fairly hard lock down over the last two weeks to stamp out the covid-19 infection.

Which seems (so far) to have worked.

My state (Victoria, Australia) has learned to do this, as a previous approach in our early covid-19 exposure almost got away from us.

However, the state this article is talking about (New South Wales) has been avoiding a hard lock down. They've been _talking_ about how "locked down" they are, but people still seem to go to cafe's (etc) and socialise. And their infection numbers aren't heading in the right direction. :(

It _seems_ like the leaders of their state have avoided bringing in a harsher lock down because of fear of business interests. We've heard this before. Which looks like it'll create a longer lasting "semi lockdown" that will drag on for (likely) months, and create overall much more damage. :(

That's my impression anyway. We're transitioning from our sharp, short lock down here in Victoria, after being infected by cases from the above state (New South Wales).

Thankfully we've closed our borders to them, until they get things under control again.
You can say anything you want, but only in the guise of anonymity (private). You can choose to reveal yourself, but then you cannot say anything substantially radical (public).

The more important thing that is happening isn't all the fuss about "cancel culture" or "free speech", it's that society is pushing towards the absolute division of the grey area between the public and the private, which is the area where politics actually take place. The real danger is that speech itself, in one mode entirely full of consequences and in another mode devoid of any, will become meaningless because of this distinction. What you say will no longer be related to what you actually do anymore, and speech will just be a floating signifier that no longer has any basis in reality and will lose the ability to change the world. The "freedom of speech" isn't the thing at stake, it's the value of speech itself that's being jeopardized.

I think it is entirely impossible for mind transfers to work differently from this*. I think most people who believe in this sort of technology accept this.

In fact, if you do not believe in transcendental souls of some kind, there should be no fear of this type of scenario. You anyway go to sleep each night and awaken after a discontinuity. Why would this be significantly different? Now, killing yourself after having your mind copied to the machine doesn't make any sense.

More interestingly though, if we had the necessary technology for this type of transfer, we should also be able to do mind/machine interfaces, such that either copy of you could directly experience what the other does, meaning that this could be experienced differently from a notion of either a single entity OR 2 separate entities. Of course, it would follow that in fact multiple people could share experiences in similar ways, with unclear effects on the very notion of identity.

If I could see, feel, hear, even think the same things as you, would the concept of me and you as separate identities actually mean anything to us anymore? I suspect that we can't really imagine what society and humanity would actually look like if/when such technology were widely available.

Maybe they do find it rewarding. I think the point in the article was not to downplay how much work farming involves, or to say they have it easy, or even to suggest that people should be farmers…

The point I took from the article is how integrated/intertwined the farmer’s work is with the rest of their day, as opposed to say rigid 9-5 office hours. The lines are more blurry for them. They (generally) live and work in the same place. It’s definitely not like “working from home” in the sense that we normally think of, but there are some interesting parallels and challenges around trying to keep life in balance (if that’s even thing anyway). It’s a useful and very different perspective from which to look at the concept of “work” and how it integrates into our lives.
The chances that we're about to hit the inflection point in #2 and #3 are still very small. There's a huge area where we can be on the rise in #2 and #3 before inflection.
I've been experimenting with a similar project. We encode the language in a data-structure which allows us to serialize/parse the rules. Paired with an interpreter that takes an environment context along with its input the rule language can be written and maintained by analysts and domain experts.

The usual caching strategies work as well. We can keep rules cached in-memory. Caching the contextual environment comprising all of the relevant data from the system is a bit trickier but we haven't gotten to that part and query for it at run time. It should be feasible. And if the language gets complex enough we may experiment with writing lightweight analysis tools [0]. For now though we're limiting it to internal use by engineers (working with analysts) until we learn more about the approach in production.

The surprising thing is just how little code it takes to get something like this going in Haskell. GHC can derive and write a lot of parsing/serialization code for you automatically and you get a lot of great type-classes out of the box which makes composing big parts out of little pieces nice and easy.

Generally speaking, the highest birth rates aren't in the types of counties overrepresented on HN. Our best shot for reducing the global birth rate is improving education in developing nations (particularly women's education[0]), improving access to contraception, and reducing child mortality.

I agree socializing developed nations' economic systems isn't having a huge effect on the global population growth. Focusing on the real problem means investing in the health & development of those with the actual highest birthrates, not making U.S. colleges cheaper.

That would be a poor choice in this case.

The data on the MiniDV tape is already digital. Any FireWire interface (cheap dongles also available) will allow most operating systems an easy way to read the tape, and as well as retaining the original video quality, metadata like dates and times and each scene (each startrecord-stoprecord bit) are also transferred.

I transferred family MiniDV tapes in this way. It took about three sessions, spread over 3-4 years, to complete the task, and I used Linux, Windows and MacOS to transfer the data, depending on what computers were available. The output is the same regardless.
This is why I exclusively ride on sidewalks (which is legal and common where I live). I recently gave road riding a try recently just to test my fears; it was a short ride, a less-used road, and early in the morning, and I still had 3 close calls in the 15 min it took me to get home. I tell anybody who feels happy telling me I shouldn't ride on sidewalks to give me a blank check for medical bills if they're so confident that I'll be safe on the road.
