Eh, there is pros and cons. When Stripe updates it's ask it's immediately deployed to _every_ user immediately. Yes it's possible with npm and semver but it's also possible people pin specific versions or get stuck on a certain minor version.

While I think that's fine for normal software Stripe lives in the world of financial regulation and compliance with laws around the world. They might not be able to even allow their users to use an older SDK (regulation changed, new regulatory steps, etc) in a graceful manner.

Sticking to live loaded sdk and the technical debt that comes with to not break clients and end users might just be the best option for something as risky as payments online.

> I’m Danish and our laws regarding advertising may seem a little totalitarian to Americans

Apparently not just Americans... There are around 10k Americans living in Denmark [1], and around 1.3M Danes living in the US [2]. While I am sure that everyone you talk to in Denmark will tell you they love it there, that's due to the survival bias. The immigration streams tell the true story, which is that the Danes are voting with their feet and overcoming incredible financial and cultural challenges to move their families to the US.

With that in mind, no, I am not really keen on learning about all the wonderful hurdles your government has come up with to destroy every last bit of a chance that an entrepreneur has to advertise their business. Surely, the intentions were all good, but you know what they say about the path to hell...

Or maybe instead of trusted websites they'll move to a model where you need digital signatures on your JavaScript code to enable high-performance mode, just like you need to code sign Windows applications to avoid scary warnings about what they might do to your computer.
A social network will contain misinformation. The solution isn't to force facebook to ban content, the solution is getting people educated so they can form their own opinion. That more or less already worked and everyone tries to reduce dependence on fossil fuel, so this isn't even a problem.
About the first one:

Even going about this very naively, you could at least use it to train a model against a supercomputer running the game, and then run the inference on much more modest end-user machines.

But you can be much more ambitious: have you seen eg style transfer? So you could probably do a bit of ML black magic to train your model on GTA, and then point it at the Google Earth data to get a GTA-like set in real-life London.

Or you could use something like style transfer to go for a cartoony look, or add ray-tracing like effects, even if you didn't have these effects in your original engine.

Or you can use a pre-trained model (eg on GTA), and then spend a relatively modest amount of extra training to get a different kind of game, eg one that has magic or so.

About the latter part: I do think their model is already running with some state. But even if it ain't, that's a relatively small thing to add with already known standard techniques (or you can come up with new techniques.)
Yeah but I don’t and I don’t like being collateral damage.
GOP created a bunch of low-population states (North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Washington, Idaho, and Wyoming) in 1889-90 to stack the Senate; and granting 2 senators per artificial perimeter is the same one-person-one-vote problem.

> If you build a robot that only handles the main workflow and can't handle any of the exceptions, you're not automating anything; you're building a convenience tool. Basically, you're removing some of the labor part of the job, but still keeping the decision making part of the job for humans.

The key part is that, much like what humanity got from washing machines, automating some parts of the process is enough to have substantial savings in both cost and turnaround time, which also reflects in cost.

I'm not sure this "all or nothing" train of thought makes sense. Shipping containers were a terribly simple solution that covered only a very specific aspect of a logistic chain but it was enough to revolutionize international trade. Washing machines only focus on one specific task but they revolutionize economical and even social aspects of society. Heck, a crane only lifts weights up or down but it radically simplifies operations to the point of being indispensable.

Why should the value added by a brick-laying robot be any different?
That's funny. Of course, I was referring to Asimov's Elevator Effect, which is that if aliens visited NYC with some probe in 1800 and then in 1950, they would be astonished at all the very tall buildings, and would have to assume people were now living in these tall towers for reasons TBD. They would not know that elevators had been invented, and hence, the buildings would only be occupied 8 hours per day or so; and nobody would live in them. Elevators allowed this major unexpected result. There is more, I couldn't find the actual essay.

Lead Poisoning and Rome
Unfortunately, noise pollution is at the very bottom of public agencies' priority list.

Even in Europe, with stricter regulators and less tolerance towards loud and obnoxious behavior, it's way too common to hear tuned motorcycles blasting 110dB engine screeches at 2AM, keeping everyone in the neighborhood awake. In theory it's not allowed, in reality the bikers can do it with impunity any time they please. Drones would at least provide some beneficial service.
These are the two comments below yours: https://i.imgur.com/o8c9ZPm.png

While most efforts by the Chinese government to distort and degrade online communications have been focused domestically: https://www.propublica.org/article/leaked-documents-show-how...

There is evidence they are starting to turn their guns outward: https://www.cfr.org/blog/chinas-internet-trolls-go-global

But there is an uncomfortable truth behind all this. Regular, non-government backed Chinese citizens seem to often be so fiercely "patriotic" - they promote gov propaganda largely for free. There is no need to have a Russian-style troll farm if you can deputize a million Chinese living in the west to be active on Twitter promoting government narratives for fun.
As with everything, the buzzkill is regulatory and administrative rather than technical. We could easily make drone delivery a thing but the paperwork will kill it.

The major expense for deliveries is the man-hours needed, NOT the truck (or drone). You also get time savings from traveling in a straight line between point A and point B.

I don't think that is how "efficacy" works, because to measure "efficacy" both the treatment and population is supposed to have similar exposure to the virus.

In Germany police went around and even looked at contact tracing lists (on paper) in restaurants [1]. Even while politicians still stated publicly that these lists were only used (or to be used) for contact tracing.

Also the partly state sponsored luca app (check in in locations, festivals, restaurants, concerts) that is privately developed (and riddled with security holes) is already in discussion to use the data on the people to better target them for concert tickets and the like [2].

[2]: https://www.ccc.de/de/updates/2021/luca-app-ccc-fordert-bund...

So we see this data is already in abuse by the state and also by state sponsored private entities.

I believe, that this data, once collected, will only be (ab)used further in the future. In my experience it will be as with all data caches - somebody wants to create additional value from it.

I find the article to be disingenuous to the extreme, and indicative of the current trend of calling all politically disfavoured speech as "misinformation". They denounce the ad, but fail to actually note a single factual error or misleading claim beyond the broad statement that they presented fossils fuels as necessary for a quality of life and part of a green lifestyle. Yet surely if that's not true, then it should be trivial to point out the factual error, right? But they don't, they don't even bother, and at the time I'm writing this, the link to the actual report is a 404.

I'm not carrying water for Exxon and would like us to move to sustainable energy, but by the same measure I'm sick of being told that something is "misinformation" with no justification given other than the fact that it was put forth by unpopular person or organisation.
As pointed out in another comment ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28068986 ), the people who know sed and vim are likely to be power users, which are a really small part of the populace.

Sure, there are text replace tools within most programs, but that doesn't mean that even half of the people using computers will know how to use them, or will ever bother to learn, when there are alternatives available. To that end, it makes sense to optimize for either of the easiest approaches, be it either using basic keyboard commands or the mouse.

That's also why GUIs are more popular for personal computing, as opposed to CLIs, or TUIs. Of course, CLIs could also be improved ( think tar vs docker UX, which can be achieved with something like https://typer.tiangolo.com/ ) and TUIs are also somewhat underused (nmtui, ncdu and many others are great pieces of software).

As for the actual amount of money spent - that is indeed a "yikes", how does someone even spend so much?
What I find disturbing is that almost all commenters here took that rumour for a fact.

Blacks made up 7.8 percent of the rural and 13.1 percent of the urban population.

2 - https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/geography/guidance/g...
US population is urban: 249,253,271, rural: 59,492,276

Doing some math, ~12% of the black population is rural, and moreover, other ethnic groups represent a larger share of the rural pop. For the sake of this analysis, rural lack of access to vaccines does not explain low vaccination rates among blacks as a whole.

BBC is definitely not innocent here. I have personally stopped watching BBC news since 2008 when they publish a fake image in their news article. Generally I consider more news sources is better than a single news source. Main stream news media is considered as one single news source for me now, YouTube is so much better than BBC or Twitter, video contents are more trustworthy. BBC has yet to those people with evidence showing how it manipulate videos and images to have a negative tone in their this report.

If you work on ML you know algorithms do not work 100%, it is dependent on the labeled data to train. Nowadays, I won't trust any study without published dataset to be honest.

Edit: I have to say, apparently English platform is playing such an important role in modern society, the leaning of American people can decide what is going to happen in a country, Iraq or Israel, you would expect political lobbying, advertising and such behavior.

We were told for decades that saturated fat was really bad for us.

Now it turns out (as some pointed out even back when it started) that saturated fat is absolutely fine. All the people dropping dead from heart disease were being poisoned by trans fats, which were being added to everything (as e.g. Crisco, and margerine).

There is something wrong in (American) beef, but it's not the saturated fat. We lost decades, blaming the fat, and still don't know what it is.

Now we are being poisoned by the fructose in sugar that is added to everything. It is really hard to buy things made in the US without a phenomenal amount of sugar dumped in. Bread, pickles, salad dressing, soy milk, you name it.

The US massively subsidizes production of corn, to the point there is so much more than the market wants that they have to turn it into sugar and pump that into everything. That's not enough, so they also have to feed cows, pigs, and chicken on it, which makes them sick. That's not enough, so they have to make it into ethanol and add it to gasoline.

What is ironic is that actual corn sugar, glucose, is fine.

But they catalyze corn into fructose because it is sweeter when cold. And, incidentally, toxic. Your liver can neutralize a strictly limited amount of almost any toxin, including fructose, but most Americans take in much more than that.

So, before you eat/drink sugar, think: how much sugar do I expect to need to neutralize today?
