This is incredibly off-base.

The truth is they have outsourced fact checking to the "International Fact-Checking Network at Poynter" who has to uphold standards not just freely enforce whatever ideology tickles their fancy.

Knowing one low-level employee of one of the subcontractors involved; it works something like this:

1. An article is posted to Facebook/Twitter/etc and is automatically flagged based on keywords or manually flagged based on user reports of misinformation.

2. Fact checking organizations take up fact-checking of the article for a small fee.

3. In this case for the organization I am personally aware of, the fact checking company has a large number of independent contractors who can research a "batch" of claims/articles.

4. Usually the jobs are broken up into simple questions.

5. You along with many others provide answers and must provide pertinent factual sources supporting the veracity of your assessment that this is either true, partly false, or false along with other categories such as if it is clearly and obviously satire.

6. Your answers are judged vs the final determination. Those who consistently skew in any direction are dismissed from eligibility to participate in the future.

7. The fact checking organization once it has enough answers for confidence has higher-level employees double-check the answer and source information.

8. The fact checking organization submits it's formal assessment on the article/opinion to the IFCN.

9. Companies like Facebook use multiple IFCN assessments and perhaps other fact check assessments to provide pertinent information that corrects misinformation that has spread rampantly over the last year like "Joe Biden wants to defund police departments across the US" with corrections like "After being asked if "We can reduce the responsibilities assigned to the police and redirect some of the funding for police into social services, mental health counselling, and affordable housing." Mr Biden has answered "Yes" to a question about whether he agrees with this redirecting of funding.

I may be slightly off in how this works but the overall program is the same for most social networks that care about misinformation. There is more information in the sources below:

Well that’s what Tesla is doing. The current system can drive itself on highways and they are pushing to create a system capable of driving on all roads.
While I don't disagree about the knee-jerk reaction, the Guttenber comparison isn't quite apples-to-apples:

When Guttenberg made the press, access to it's output had a strong filter: most people couldn't read, and anyone who could read was highly educated for the times. Social media doesn't have a filter like that, and higher levels of education generally correlate to lower levels of belief in things like conspiracy theories.

Also keep in mind that the T+60 years conflict you're referencing, while greatly assisted by the printing press, was also greatly pushed along by the masses being told what to think by their preachers or by powerful elite looking to destabilize the status quo to their own benefit. The peasants of the peasant revolution weren't reading criticisms of the Catholic Church and coming to their own country conclusions, they were given emotional polemics by people like Storch sparking extreme levels of fanaticism.

So, yes, there is a lot in both situations about power struggles with the established order, but most people are being influenced more by emotionally charged arguments and tribal loyalties than they are by increased access to level-headed rational presentations of an issue.

No more winterization? It is still a boat. It still must be winterized. And why did they decide on an inboard motor? That is very retro. You dont see any modern boats in this size doing that. Look at how awkward that prop is. Have fun getting it on and off the trailer. And where is the kicker motor? Electric or not, nobody puts to sea without an independant backup.

Electrification is cool, but dont make so many changes at once. I dont need nor want a new metal or carbon hull. Fiberglass hulls are perfectly good. Give me batteries and a standard electric outboard I can mount on my current boat. And i just dont like the idea of mixing a conductive hull, salt water, and a small tesla's worth of battery power. I dont know how it will short but i know i dont want to be anywhere near it when it does. Fiberglass please.

Technically all cars have a proper GPU (Tesla's "GPU") and 360 cameras, the reliability is probably in the 90%-99% (which, yes, is pretty terrible to be considered fully autonomous, but impressive from a technical standpoint). Technically is correct to say that all they have to do is to "improve the software". That will be a lot of work, sweat and tears, but still correct.

The accounting package is much easier to design if you have the same level of requirements for them. If the goal is to make a toy product then making an accounting package is trivial while a OS is not. If the goal is to make a product that will get a lot of users then making an OS is almost impossible while plenty of people sell accounting packages. Low level is only easier than high level if you don't intend to sell the low level program but do intend to sell the high level program.
Sure but then it kept going with millions of posts with diamond hand emojis that had me deeply in the uncanny valley.
Not a huge amount of information to comment on (They don't even show the fully-loaded weight of the boat which is probably the most important factor), but the focus on a lightweight hull seems like the right path and is similar to other startups in this field.

Electrification of boats is uniquely challenging because it's a delicately balanced optimization problem -- You need to keep the boat up on plane to get a reasonable range and compete in the same class as other recreational motorboats. Getting on plane requires a high peak power output, but that in turn requires a heavier battery pack, making it harder to get up to speed...

Battery energy density is not quite at the point where you can just stick a battery and electric motor in an existing boat hull and expect it to perform, so the theme of all these companies is using a custom lightweight hull or hydrofoil to reduce drag/weight enough to avoid the energy density problem. Another interesting startup is Candela (https://candela.com/) who is taking on the problem from a similar angle; they use hydrofoils and a complex controls system to keep the hull foiling which is very low drag.

That said, I'm not sure Arc has done their research on the market fit for aluminum hulls. Based on their concepts it will take a lot of work to convince the recreational boating scene to buy a $300k aluminum boat with an inboard motor; typically aluminum hulls are used for fishing and shallow waters, and in those use cases an inboard doesn't make sense -- it might be better equipped in that case with a jet drive but would hit power issues there.

I never said "stupid Americans." You have the freedom to misrepresent my words, but you don't have the freedom to actually change what I wrote, which remains published above.

> I am forced to live in society

No, you want to live in society. Society is where the hamburgers are; it's where the Internet is; it's where the houses with pipes delivering an endless bounty of water and electricity are; it's where the Hacker News comments section is. Being part of a society means, to some extent, accepting that many things which affect you every day are outside of your control and will be decided by someone else.

Someone decided that you have to be licensed in order to drive a car. You didn't decide that. Your freedom to drive a car (cars being a product of collective society) along roads (also a product of collective society) is determined by the collective will of society—and enforced by the collective will of society.

> I want to be left alone.

No, you want the benefits of society without being a contributor to it. You're just cherry picking the bits you like without care for long term stability of the whole. Society is fragile. And without it we have far less of the things which—if you're honest with yourself—matter to you far more than your affluent, plushy concept of "freedom."

Apple Discussions.apple.com Is Down
Firebase was originally designed more as a realtime communication mechanism than an operational database. The idea was that clients would subscribe to different nodes in a data hierarchy to receive realtime notifications from other clients that were publishing to those nodes. Depending on what was in the client view, sometimes you wanted to subscribe to a leaf, sometimes to a subtree, sometimes to everything.

As these things tend to go, when there is a place to store arbitrary data, all kinds of things get shoved into it, so the mixed model in Firestore is a compromise between the original tree-of-nodes data model and a more conventional document data model.

My assumption is the Firestore-to-Spanner mapping creates subcollections as shared tables with foreign keys to the parent documents, but I don't actually know. However, that would match the mandatory 1-to-many-to-1-to-many data layout, and makes more sense than shoving all the dependent data into the document itself or creating multiple millions of SQL tables for millions of documents.

It is on steam and it will have a new UI with tiling.
Unfortunately that's probably not going to happen anytime soon -- These electric boat startups are the real deal, but they all tend to rely on a lightweight hull to get ahead of the power density issues.

Most composite boat hulls are way too heavy to stick an electric motor in and expect reasonable performance.
Worth pointing out that this is Andrew Ng and not a typical hbr author. I am a big fan of the "data centric" approach he is pushing now, and it's good to see him publishing his pitch in venues like HBR.
> talk about a horrible price point

And yet they sold 20K of them in 20 minutes...
I was thinking the same thing. People get boats for fishing, wake boarding, etc. Boats are designed and marketed around this purposes. I don’t see the market for this at that size. Am I missing something?

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a boat at that size that’s not a bowrider.

This feels like it’s designed and marketed for electric vehicle lovers rather than boat users
No not all. Boats have been using large batteries for quite some time. Also marine electronic systems are well known and proven.
> Well, yes, in the end it's just art critique. But even that should be a topic that you can discuss without being labeled as chauvinist the moment you disagree.

Wow, it sounds like perhaps you have been called a chauvinist for expressing these same opinions before! Perhaps instead of blocking out that critique you can meditate on it. To be honest, you are hitting all of their talking points.
Consumer sporting boats have too little uilization and no meaningful regen potential to waste batteries on them that could go into cars.

Getting on plane requires a high peak power output

Could a capacitor bank be used to deliver a burst of power to plane out? Or does the weight and volume of capacitors still exceed what's practical? Also seems like it wouldn't work for wakeboarding, where the goal is to generate a big, inefficient wake all the time.

It is cultural first and foremost. The lack of talent is an outcome of culture. I'm sure many programmers will specialize and spend time to become security experts if they will be appreciated better and have faster growth. Why waste time and effort to learn something deeply if all the recruiters and managers care about is certification and check boxes.
Vaccines have saved hundreds of millions of human lives. Human lives are valuable. Refusal to get vaccinated against things like measles, polio, smallpox, or COVID-19 cause a lot of unnecessary deaths, which destroys a lot of valuable things.

Just as spending on loss prevention in stores can easily produce a net positive impact on the store's balance sheet, reducing the rate of unnecessary destruction of human life (or other forms of permanent damage short of death) from diseases for which vaccines exist produces net positive impacts on the tax rolls/life insurance balance sheet/quality of life.

> Naturally using the yellow color tone it easier to call it a "blackhole picture". It looks like something in Space...

Another level of fun, is that little in space is really yellow. As blackbody radiators (most stars) don't do yellow. The "Sun is yellow" misconception (eliding "relative to a very-not-white whitepoint of blue Vega") is so common, even the ten-ish most used intro astronomy college textbooks get it wrong.

Sometimes science's motivating deterrence of getting things wrong being embarrassing, applies also to education and outreach content. As with a few good intro physics textbooks. Or a marine biologist writing a children's picture book, and being seriously concerned about getting something wrong in front of their research peers. But sometimes, not so much. The astronomy community in particular seems notably unembarrassed by aphysically-creative handling of color and visual representations in education and outreach. Perhaps because it has so little overlap with the research endeavor?

You are essentially describing ECS here. In ECS, entities are nothing but a "handle" without any additional data, normally just an integer used to link common components together.
They have a duty to they shareholders to not squander money, correct? That is what I was addressing.

Also, individually they have duties to not commit crimes (like conspiracy to defraud, or whatever).

If there is evidence they conspired with someone to commit securities fraud, even if it had nothing to do with GM, then regardless of their duties to GM, then they can go to jail for that.

If they knowingly were irresponsible/negligent as officers of the company in how they approved deals, they could be fired or sued, depending on how blatant it is.

Since it didn’t seem to hurt GM’s bottom line, seems like the latter is unlikely.
Yeah, exactly. This is way over my head.
