>it was also "really stupid" for TSMC to build new US fabs after already planning record capex in TW proper in 2019. Few thought TW would erode their silicon shield by allow TSMC to expand fabs abroad.

US is offering incentives for TSMC to build a fab in AZ. the original announcement is a smaller scale production for 5nm that won't come online for couple years. TSMC will be on 2nm by then.

Is EU offering anything? I haven't hear anything. I doubt TSMC will make the move if there is nothing for them consider the cost of a modern fab and labors cost.

>TW would erode their silicon shield by allow TSMC to expand fabs abroad

that's not smart if Taiwan is depend on silicon shield for their security. silicon shield is a media's term that Taiwanese govrt never use. a govrt shouldn't depend on anyone but itself for its own security.
> ShotSpotter’s claims about its accuracy have increased, from 80 percent accurate to 90 percent accurate to 97 percent accurate. According to Greene, those numbers aren’t actually calculated by engineers, though.

> “Our guarantee was put together by our sales and marketing department, not our engineers,” Greene told a San Francisco court in 2017. “We need to give them [customers] a number … We have to tell them something. …

there’s the problem right there.

a large number of us have seen, first hand, how a sales and marketing team will happily distort the abilities of something we build. and we’ve all seen first hand how clients will lap that up and then turn around and blame the engineers when it doesn’t live up to what they were led to believe.

as his quote says, those numbers aren’t actually calculated by engineers, they’re calculated by the sales and marketing department and he happily pushes this nonsense because “… we have to tell them something.”

meanwhile people are dying from this/being prosecuted and the accuracy rates are pulled out of thin air by the marketing/sales department.
This is tangentially related, but does anyone know how "diversity internships" are legal? For example:

https://buildyourfuture.withgoogle.com/programs/step/

> The internship program has a focus of providing development opportunities to students from groups historically underrepresented in tech, through technical training and professional development.

This sounds like they blatantly violate the Civil Rights Act. I wonder how much discrimination is caused by people trying to "make up" for affirmative action (not that I think this is ok).
Shameless plug, but I just made a site that lets you practice solving lichess puzzles without looking at the board: https://puzzle-vision.com

Code probably isn't ideal as this is my first time messing with React, but I'm hoping some people find it useful. I need to automate keeping the db updated as well, it's a couple months behind latest lichess open db.

Some on the progressive left have actually started capitalizing "white" as well. Traditionally though that was a sign of Klan sympathy. Personally, I will continue to resist capitalization of American racial categories.
Yes. Which ... I am sorry is not "free". We can argue about it being cheap or not cheap or whatever. Sure.

But I don't get why I got downvoted for pointing out that it's not free, when that's 100% true.

750EUR public (which doesn't cover everything) or depending on age anywhere from 400 to 1500EUR private isn't "free healthcare". That's on top of high taxes etc.

Germany has a lot of great things. Free healthcare ain't one of them. Let's stay honest.
Not mentioned in the article -- a good way to prevent Chrome from ever recognizing the "same" field and attempting to autofill it is to include and randomize a "name=" attribute on all <input> tags, or else name them with a string including a unique user id. This should always be done on web apps. Otherwise the next user on a public computer will see autofill options from previous users.
There’s a saying about cake that seems to apply here.

Again, there are other options for both. Android wear devices are still a thing, and there are multiple options that aren’t SMS that are available to the Android ecosystem.

If you want to live in the Apple ecosystem, that comes with some tradeoffs. Can’t have it both ways.
your example doesn't seem to be a great one - which group are you thinking is not represented in the photo?
That's not the argument. They claim it refers specifically to the African diaspora in the U.S. The presumption being that they share the legacy of slavery and discriminatory laws afterwards. Which many do.
Hmmm... Actually I don't think I made myself clear enough. When I said "record" I meant "unencrypted record to external media".
The last part is a pretty strong claim. Yes, communist governments have historically often failed to discover mechanisms for innovation because of that lack of signals and discovery by spontaneous demand, but China is not the Soviet Union.

Centrally planned running shoes get you shoes that look like the boxes they came in, to paraphrase Stephenson but there's a difference between that kind of rigid system and steering demand into directions where consumption is aligned with the public good or say, scientific progress.

What killed innovation in communist governments in my opinion wasn't the focus on social ends as a goal by the state, it was killing almost all forms of entrepreneurship or spontaneous organisation to get to those ends. The sort of dogmatic market thinking denies that such ends should even exist or that activity can be redirected with little basis for that claim.
People want to eat their cake and also have it. On the one hand “we’re individuals, don’t look at us as a stereotype” (agreed), on the other hand, we share the same culture and history like no one else does, we’re one identity! (This is categorically wrong given the diversity in Africa).
Oh wow is this a trait? I had an adult ADHD diagnosis a few years ago, but not much has come of it since (still struggling with "typical" work arrangements).

In fact I just interviewed with a company today where I expressed my resistance being pigeonholed in my own words.

Speaking of being a generalist, the book "Range" by David Epstein gave me some hope.
"Notably, with older age of the study participants comes increased likelihood for drinkers to become former drinkers, which might exacerbate the “sick quitters” bias (i.e. when the non-drinking reference group also includes former drinkers who have stopped drinking due to poor health) as discussed above"

Bunch of nonsense. People that stopped drinking because of poor health are in the study. The ones who felt better drank because they were up to it.

Who funded this study?
The names they chose seem to be fairly uncommon.

Did they correct for the confounding variable of perceived social class of each of the names? (Similar to what someone else said, I wonder if they checked... not for uniqueness, because some names are unique but familiar to other names, but rather for recency of immigration, which can actually have both positive and negative effects I would imagine. For example, someone with a distinctive first + last name combination for a particular place might seem more "interesting" to interview.)

Even a change in the presentation of the same name can indicate social class... Bill vs Will vs William, with middle initial or without, etc. Also hyphenated last names.

Also, they included so many other things in the resumes... club memberships, etc., it makes me wonder whether the results were influenced by that.

Even so, let's say the response is 23% vs 25% by race as they seem to say. That's obviously not good if it's due to racism for example, but it doesn't sound like an absolute prevention from working in an industry.
>When you look at who's polluting and who's emissions are on an upward trajectory, there's one obvious country that's actively working against the environment. China's emissions aren't slowing down.

They sure aren't, as long as the US and Europe outsource their industrial production, pollution, guilt, and blame, there.

NileRed did a fantastic series on Prussian Blue, the pigment that ends up being created with cyanotypes, and ended on making his own cyanotypes from scratch <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYqn8CO2P3E>

His entire channel is just fantastic in-depth demonstrations of various interesting chemical lab processes; It highlights of my favorite kinds of internet corner: passionate and in depth niche content
He mentions he was recording the attempt. I assume the scam was made possible because he was going along with it to some extent and accidentally went too far.

They said it uses a list of regexes to map inputs to actions. The DSL used by Eliza basically starts with that same idea and then improves upon it in several ways.

Keep using old gas car (for average about 3 years) by making 1/6 of BEV is better than selling PHEV (I expect zero emission for 90% workload, and lower carbon emission than BEV in production) now for decarbonization? I think decarbonization isn't just avoid ICE.
While I don't mean to take away from what the devs are doing (as it is awesome!), the modem is in two parts: a "user space" that is an version of Android (yes, the modem runs Android, I think Android 7?), and the actual modem has a lower level firmware based on Qualcomm Hexagon, which is still closed source, and not easily replaceable.
I was referring to the quote, but the photograph raises a good point. There is not a single white or Asian male, despite them making up the majority of CS classes.
they're just called minimalists, vs. anti-maximalists, and announcing what someone who isn't you hates is a pretty unconvincing way of making your case, unless they've also announced that they "hate" it
I'm hesitant to say it's a trait, but he pattern is pretty consistent amongst the dozens of ADHDers I've spoken to. Will read that book, thanks for the recommendation.
I don't completely disagree but

> you get paid a lot less

Isn't that the point? That is, the argument is right now the money goes to the devs, management, and stockholders, when it rightfully should go to those people damaged by the software (or toward preventing them from being damaged).

> the companies and industries move very slowly

How much of this is due to liability law and how much is due to natural aspects of the relevant technology? Liability law may be part of the reason, but software probably naturally moves faster than other engineering fields.
Perhaps only partially related to what you're saying but human babies are born with some innate reflexes:

https://www.stanfordchildrens.org/en/topic/default?id=newbor...

Perhaps the most relevant to this discussion is the "stepping" reflex. It isn't really stepping but if placed in a standing-like position babies will often raise one foot, put it down, then the other. The most interesting part to me is that this reflex stops by two months. Makes me wonder if it's an evolutionary leftover from our days as monkeys or something like that. It's all so fascinating.
His channel is great, but I wouldn't suggest learning from his episode on cyanotypes; it's interesting to watch but he does a lot of suboptimal things.
I’ve seen a handful of this kind of “Google, but only for things I’ve seen before” app. I think it’s something the world needs, but there are a lot of different approaches and I don’t think anyone has quite nailed it.

Ultimately the best solutions will likely use many different cataloging strategies depending on the content, and will allow you to tag or otherwise organize important content.

Funny enough if I had such an app I could make a list of 4 or 5 examples, but right now can only find one:

The difference between then and now is that back then, the limitations impacted the average user. “Normal” users were interested in jailbreaking because it meant they could get access to still relatively basic apps by today’s standards.

The items you just listed matter only to people like the posters here. We have philosophical differences with the limitations in place today, but back in the heyday, those limitations were just fundamental gaps in functionality available to users.

With the many major new APIs available to devs over the years and with the maturation of the App Store, those original drivers behind jailbreaking just aren’t there for the most part.
How can you write the law then to be like “yep this section of people, can totally discriminate, everyone else can’t”

It feels like something that could be ripe for abuse.
I’d prefer if you didn’t. I like 1Password knowing where to put my credentials when I ask it to.
I think the problem is they lose a lot of weight early on (can roll over) and then begin to fatten up quickly. The calorie intake relative to body size is immense and for a few months a baby just doesn’t have the muscle strength to support its newfound fat composition (loss of ability to roll) in addition to their heads growing rapidly early on and not having the neck muscles developed yet.
If you're looking for an actively developed Maemo rebased on top of modern Debian, you might be interested in Maemo Leste. [1] It's actually rebased on top of Devuan Beowulf rather the Debian (Buster), but they are open to having a Debian flavour with systemd too if anyone is willing to add support for this.

Yeah I bet there's a lot of stuff you can do to greatly reduce space usage without even nerfing resolution or losing color. For example if you are always using the same desktop background you could save that once and then just store a reference to it for all subsequent screenshots where it also appears. Also, window chrome and things like webpages and IDE windows will compress well, since there are so full of long runs of the same background color

> I live in a condo so charging at home isn't an option.
Why not?
Why not join your strata or hmo board and change that?

Why not lobby your local jurisdiction to add these kind of requirements to new construction, or pass by-laws or laws at the right level to require condo buildings to allow individuals to install chargers?

All of these complaints are passive and indicate that you don't have agency in this situation. These types of changes don't happen unless people push back against the status quo.

I am always shocked when I see so many people participating on a message board that is designed for people who want to move fast and break things just... accept... the way the world around them is.
Yeah Hikaru is really great content.

If you're a novice (or even club) player and you've never seen a video of him solving puzzles, do yourself a favor and watch one [0]. The goal is to make the best move (usually winning a piece or forcing mate) as fast as possible. Chances are he can find the best move before you can even locate both kings on the board, unless you have some practice solving puzzles.

It really seems impossible. The puzzles I'm proud to have solved in a minute or two he will literally solve in 2-3 seconds.

Really drives home the difference between a GM (though Hikaru is fast even for a GM) and the average player.

Hey, FB employee here (views my own). I don't think Diem is necessarily in search of a problem:

- Other payment systems like PayPal/Venmo/Zelle are for P2P domestic use only - you can't send money cross-borders.

- Paypal/Venmo requires you to have a bank account. Diem doesn't, and so part of Diem's mission is to serve the un-banked.

- This is a little pedantic, but PayPal/Venmo/Zelle/Square Cash are closed ecosystems. You can't send money from one to the other, for example. Diem is a protocol that you can interact with using any wallet, not just Novi.

Not being paid to post this or anything. I just think Diem is not well advertised haha
A lot of people against tesla seem to be more against Elon musk, then the company. I often wonder if someone like Steve Jobs or Mark Cuban had started it if they would have a different opinion. For all intensive purposes, they are great cars.
Exactly. See my other comment in this thread. The names they chose are unusual at a glance, and it might be that the 2% variance they see is due to some groups of names unintentionally having higher perceived social status or other attributes.

For example, some of the first names are "Lashonda", "Lakeisha", "Takwanda" in the "Black" list, whereas the "white" list includes names like "Geoffrey", "Kristen", "Jennifer". If the perceived social status of the names isn't matched, that could invalidate their results.

As a follow-up, it would be interesting to do a survey on the perceived social status of each of the names they used to see how that might have influenced the results.
That was a suggestion Facebook can (and has) ignore. If you are implying that was some kind of legally binding edict, you would be wrong.

I agree it was out of bounds to make a comment like that from the WH, but lets be clear what it was and wasn't. It wasn't political, it was public health. And it wasn't an order, it was a request.
just pointing out TSMC's innovation is on the process/manufacturing side.

off the shelf equipment get you nowhere if you can't make it. Intel is the perfect example, it struggle with 10nm for so long and delay on 7nm.

if all you needs is equipment. China already dominated the foundry business with its big fund back in 2014 before trade war.
I agree that the notion of culture has all these facets, and that we should only be examining the business sense in an interview. But I think of "move fast and break things" (and its kin) as needing quite trivial assimilation, so if a hiring decision cites a culture issue, it must be the type of thing that can't be trivially overcome, which is a situation that often contributes toward being protected (like the religion example) for reasons of equity.

Whether it could impact performance is an interesting thing I hadn't considered, though. I suppose if a thing is out of one's control (i.e., the luck of what you're born into), we make it off-limits unless it affects job performance?

I'm thinking in terms of how the law ought to be, not interpreting how it currently is. It's tough to reason about. "You theoretically could have gotten yourself qualified for this job, but you chose not to" is how I view the ideal rationale for not giving someone a chance, but even that is very problematic to deduce.
Animation is a big complex process that involves a lot of hands with tight deadlines; "we changed some stuff in the process of revising a scene and did not re-render every other scene this change touched because of time constraints/human error" is probably a good theory for most continuity errors, though Teddyh's theory of "automatically randomize the magnet colors" sounds pretty plausible for this particular case. It sounds like something really easy to set up for the props once, on the expectation that they will never be more than background detail, then accidentally draw attention to with a closeup sequence animated by multiple animators.

In general, animators will take any shortcut they think they can get away with. :)

Check out the table B2 in the appendix if you need examples. Basically: German (Schmidt, Stolzfus) => white, French (Francois, Pierre) or English (Witherspoon, Smalls) => black.

Presumably this mapping comes from freedmen taking surnames from their former owners, and german settlers being relatively late to America, and chiefly in the northern states.
If you drive a lot of long distances the 75 miles of extra range can save you hours of charging, but I do agree the premium is not worth it.
Not knocking the comment, but the phrase is "for all intents and purposes" fyi.
Under WebAuthn you can have 2FA despite only one authentication flowing from your authenticator to the web site. Nice smartphones (say, a modern Pixel or an iPhone) with fingerprint readers, have as the two factors your fingerprint (something you are) and the phone itself (something you have). The phone signs your authentication, the private information (your fingerprint) never leaves the phone, it just warrants that it checked it (UV bitflag in the signed data)

Or say you have a FIDO 2 Security Key from Yubico. As well as the features of the cheaper FIDO 1 Security Key products, this has a PIN verifier. The PIN is something you know, while the Security Key itself is something you have, so that's two factors, once again the UV bitflag is signed.

It's simpler, it's easier, it's more secure. And yet, right now I bet an HN reader is implementing yet another shitty SMS-as-2FA hack and we're still in a thread about remote authenticating with passwords - an idea that was already terrible in the 1970s.
> while at the same time pushing to almost completely remove estate taxes, as was done during the 2018 tax cuts

Just to stop fake news: The tax cuts increased the exception for estate tax from $5.6M to $11.2M ($22.4M for married couples.) After that amount, the estate is taxed at 40%.

OP may feel that's the same as removing it. Or they may have been misinformed & actually thought it was removed. Either way it's incorrect.

(And this is not to defend or condemn the tax bill. I just think it's important to get accurate facts on the table. I have my own opinions on how we should reform estate taxes, but my focus would be on cost basis, not exemptions.)
