Lol. I was 14. I was working on something when I was suddenly startled by a really loud noise out of nowhere.

Our neighbors Caddy Escalade spontaneously caught fire. Out of nowhere.

That said, a car that combusts out of nowhere is terrifying as hell

I think comma is mostly a joke, but at least it is only targeted at tech-minded who will probably put in the work to get it set up and understand that it is not foolproof. Compare that with someone just clicking a box on an order form and thinking they now have "Full Self-Driving"
Totally agree, and my comment was mostly a flippant reaction to the audacity of her actions. Totally a sociopath and thinks rules/laws/social norms dont apply to her. Its mostly just amazing that obvious terrible behavior and lying is not called out.

R0 of an infection is the expected number of cases directly generated by one case in a population where all individuals are susceptible to infection.

We are nowhere near all people in a population being susceptible to infection with the vaccine rollout (and the people that are susceptible, it's their choice.)
This is the first hn thread I’ve been unable to finish due to bias fatigue (usually it’s oh, I guess I should be working) I don’t feel that I’ve learned anything new, but I feel a schism with no resolution.
yes, one of the weakest points of EVs in general. the new developments in thermals, namely the unification of the thermals and bridging of all thermal systems, stands to take a pretty big bite out of that. not to mention the heat pump. vacuum panels integrated into the pack could make it a non-issue, although i havent seen any talk of tesla doing that. for me, i would really like to be able to have a generator on board not only to extend range but also provide peace of mind for blizzards. the nice thing about that setup is that when the complicated machinery in the gas engine stops working, i can just take it off and put a new one on. or use it to power a jobsite. if the cybertruck would allow you to charge while moving, im not sure i could justify buying anything else for my personal situation.

> Being both unvaxed and unmasked is unnecessarily reckless toward others, simply because one such spreader can put exponentially more people in danger than any single drunk driver.

Worst possible case regardless of likelihood is not a good metric. I'll bet the average drunk driver, and indeed the average sober driver, causes many more deaths than the average unvaxed unmasked person in a post-vaccination world.
When you are young and care about other people, you should really get vaccinated. When there are many vaccinated individuals the number of infections drops dramatically, which helps to protect vulnerable individuals (some of them might be young).

> What's more unique to the U.S. is that for large swathes of people, their family has totally washed their hands of their responsibility. Compared to poor authoritarian countries that's probably because in those countries, families know their loved ones will die if they are left out on their own with no help.

Or, if I take your comments to their invalid conclusion, other countries let their homeless die--thus solving their homeless problem.

And why should somebody's drug addled parent be the responsibility of the child? The child didn't make those choices--and probably has their own damage from the parent to boot.

Finally, if someone has dementia, God help you if you don't have money because no one else will. People with dementia often require 24/7 care--how are you supposed to go to your job if you are doing that?

How about instead of just shuffling the problem onto "family" that is horribly ill-equipped for dealing with most of these situations, we start as a society helping people to deal with these things.

>Lots of databases support the type conversion behavior, but SQLite can’t do the conversion it powers through and writes the bytes anyways.

oh god. So if I write "a" to an int column it turns into 97? or does it just return a text instead next time, which the first example seems to imply?

both are kind of horrible
You don't have a basic human right to go into buildings that other people own.
Well, here in the civilised world where we’re about done with the vaccination we’re also almost done with the restrictions and required proof of vaccination/recent test.

Of course we can both be right. I mean, if you can’t achieve herd immunity for some reason, then you can never really stop the requirement for proof either. But then, if a country has so many adult babies that it can’t achieve hers immunity through vaccination during a pandemic, maybe it needs to be run like a kindergarten (which you coincidentally can’t attend unless you’re vaccinated).
And Japan's urbanization rate is 92%, so car ownership in Japan doesn't make sense for most people.

I've been to tons of tourist spots and onsens in Miyagi by train/shuttle bus with no issue.

In Korea, because of the high car penetration rate for young people and new families, many attractions are inaccessible without a car.
What you are describing could be called geritocracy, which is a bit of a pejorative, implying negative outcomes, particularly for the young. But then consider Florida, with the most old folks per capita, and what their policies and outcomes have been.
This doesn't bother us. We use a hand-rolled ORM which is exclusively used for accessing tables, so type enforcement is effectively maintained throughout.

We could go either way on strictly-typed SQLite to be honest. All of our schema declares reasonable types for columns - TEXT, INTEGER, BINARY, etc.

I think for the intended use cases of SQLite, being as flexible as possible is the best path.

The way I see it, type enforcement is an application-level opt-in. Just like UDFs, et. al.

You are looking at things from the perspective of being vaccinated. Yeah you are fine because you got vaccinated. But because you are vaccinated, you now pose a risk to all unvaccinated people because you now have a non-zero chance of transmitting.

In other words, by getting vaccinated you pushed the onus of responsibility onto society.

See how this is a zero-sum game? Either everyone gets vaccinated, and maintains that vaccination forever, or someone is still getting the short end of the stick, and society as a whole loses.

I'm sure you personally feel great for getting a vaccination, but that means literally nothing in the grand scheme of things. But clearly getting everyone vaccinated isn't the focus here, not with this post nor this law. The focus is clearly to feel good about yourself if you are vaccinated and look down upon those who aren't. So I'd say keep ngaf, because as long as lawmakers share opinions like those of yourself, this issue isn't going anywhere.
Of course I don’t. I married a lawyer. I like engineering, they like law.

Not sure how that makes one a coward, though I can definitely see how disrespecting your employees’ labor rights does.

> I've always found it a bit ironic when people intending to advocate for better treatment of the homeless proclaim that homeless shelters are havens of violence

This is the equivalent of suggesting that there is irony in the position that one can support animal welfare but still be against the position of beating animals with a stick (rather than an iron bar).

Homeless shelters can be violent. They are certainly full of people with (often untreated) mental illnesses. They are also not a solution to homelessness, but rather a solution to the problem of people sleeping on the street.

Solutions to homelessness often require providing permanent housing to people whom you may not like and who you, personally, may believe do not deserve a "free" apartment or house. It involves giving people a permanent foundation on which they can start to build a post-homelessness life. This is why it is never a popular solution - what I find ironic is that voters who want to "solve" homelessness never actually start with the simplest solution, giving away secure and dignified housing.

A real solution involves notions of security, safety, etc and often requires homeless people, particularly those who have lived homeless for a long time, to unlearn those strategies they have employed in order to survive. Shelters do not provide this type of support.

It's been a while since I've messed with it, but the last time I played this on ZNES I seem to recall it working fine.
I think critical US retail and government buildings should require vaccinations (vaccination cards) and masks until community spread ceases: grocery stores, shopping malls, coffee shops, schools (everyone >12), pharmacies, hospitals, federal/state offices, post offices, and doctor offices. This way, it makes extremely inconvenient for crazy people and the lazy to not get it.

The knock-on productivity, lowered quality of life, and healthcare costs of LC are likely into the hundreds of billions spread over decades. It's very difficult to count what's underreported and the aftereffects over many years that may not be properly attributed to LC.
What other measures do you think we have? We have reported symptoms (suffers from what you mention) and physical evidence [1] - what other forms of evidence are even possible?

Cimino was a painter before being a film maker. I think that this is the reason he had so much trouble closing on shots. He expected to have the same amount of control over the camera as he had over canvas. Having used both mediums I empathize. When moving from one medium to another You really have to recognize and accept the difference between them. Harder to do than it sounds.

> We don't really know how much memory Java needs on this benchmark. The JVM will use as much memory as you give it.

I used the default dictionary, and the input file with 10 million numbers was generated with "java -cp build/util util.GeneratePhoneNumbers 10000000 true".

So… I gave the Java version over 2.25x as much heap memory as the maximum resident size of the Rust version (./phone_encoder), but it actually used almost 100 MB more than that, and still took 3x as long to finish. I also tried with -Xmx40M:

## /usr/bin/time java -Xmx40M -cp build/java Main2 ...
270.91user 4.30system 1:40.23elapsed 274%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 150588maxresident)k
0inputs+480outputs (60major+35615minor)pagefaults 0swaps

Here we start to see a substantial performance hit due to excessive GC, and maximum resident size has actually increased slightly. Elapsed time is only about 11 seconds longer than with -Xmx48M due to parallelism, but total CPU time (user + system) has ballooned to 274 seconds—nine times the Rust version.

This is comparing against my optimized Rust implementation[0], not the one from the article. It employs the same algorithm but eschews heap allocation. I used /usr/bin/time rather than the included benchmark_runner because benchmark_runner makes use of what appear to be MacOS (Darwin) APIs (libproc::libproc::pid_rusage) to measure memory use and consequently doesn't build on my Linux system with this functionality intact.

Yup. I think part of the brilliance of the Model 3 was convincing people who would never have considered buying a luxury car, to buy a luxury car. Like well-off professionals who would have normally just bought a Honda or Toyota.

(And despite what many might say, $37k+ is definitely luxury sedan pricing. That is well optioned BMW 3 series and Mercedes C class pricing.)

Aries leverages, Decentralized Identifiers[1] with Verifiable Credentials [2]

the "ledger" is where the public keys are stored. eg it could be a permission-ed ledger, similar to SSL certs only known/<want to be known> parties would publish their keys to the chain.

Example: Sovrin network [3]

Or could be permission-less, maybe focused more towards IoT/whatever

Example: ION Network [4] coming out of Microsoft.

The ledger is not a requirement to establish an identity as shown with the did:peer [5] method

Frankly I think the usage of blockchain was more to get on the marketing bandwagon at the time. Messaging is now moving from "blockchain" to "distributed ledger"

People see this as a way to go back to the movies again without having to feel guilty about potentially killing someone's grandma. This is an alternative to going back into lockdown.

I'm genuinely curious: what are your privacy concerns here?

I like to think I'm a privacy-minded person, and I can't imagine how the benefits of this policy (keeping things open, preventing hospitalizations, saving lives) wouldn't possibly outweigh the cons (having to bring a vaccine card to a concert).

The problem is that on an individual, person to person basis, people like me owe people like you a respectful hearing of what you think America is and how you think it should be and understand - this is the important thing - how you got there before telling you that it never was and why it should never be. And just flip that to whichever one of us has the facts on their side. But we don't have those conversations. We only relate to each other insofar as we signal our political affiliations.
Only the vaccinated will preferentially evolve variants that are resistant to the vaccine. The vaccines are leaky, as evidenced by the recent outbreak in the Northeast. A saner strategy with leaky vaccines is to vaccinate the small population that is vulnerable and let the rest of the population of develop a natural herd immunity. Otherwise you are creating a fitness advantage to resistant strains.

And the the tax collector had a very distinctive "tAx collECTor~" sound byte that he said OVER AND OVER. It is drilled deeply into my psyche

The voice acting was good, but they didn't have many sound bytes so it got pretty repetitive. Also whenever a gnome died they'd say "But I'm just a gnome...". When minotaurs were trampling your kingdom, it could get pretty annoying.
I wonder if technology is going to have an increasingly transformative role in cinema, as the cost of production goes so low that budding auteurs can make watchable movies on a budget similar to what you pay for an engagement ring.

The obvious comparison is with music. But even there, while music was expensive to produce decades ago,it was never in a league with film.

The through-line in this story and all similar stories about movie budgets going out of control is that you can't Corral tens of millions of dollars without strings attached.

Collections like YouTube's dust and omeleto really showcase what can be done with a microscopic budget. Even special effects, which dominate the budget of big action pics, are getting way cheaper with tools like blender.

Finally, there's the tension between feature-length films and episodic storytelling, what we used to call television series.

All in all, we might be living through a golden age of visual Artistry. You never know when you're in the middle of a wave like that until decades later when the dust settles.
I have it set up on a raspberry pi for my kids and it works pretty well even with the mouse. One problem I have is that the mouse gets out of sync because the resolution of the tv the pi is on isn't 4:3 like the emulated window.

(I'm a CFI.) 91.21 is irrelevant. The FCC specifically forbids the use of cell phones aboard aircraft, and the FAA doesn't have the power to overrule the FCC in matters of radio interference. The FAA has no rule, and cannot make a rule, that in any way allows the operation of cell phones aboard aircraft as long as the FCC forbids it.
The appeal has nothing to do with any of the charges, the extradition was denied based on humanitarian grounds. Basically the ruling was "yes the US has valid reason to extradite Assange, but that's likely to kill him so we won't extradite."

It's possible that they would not say the US has valid reason to extradite after the retraction, but unless the refusal is overruled, that doesn't matter.
I'm actually interested in looking at the reliability of teslas in the long term. Reports have been showing many different opinion without enough data I guess?

Some said that it is easy to maintain because there are less parts moving, some said that they are very unreliable.

I have been holding myself to pull the trigger to buy a tesla because of those. I don't have the leverage to buy many cars financially, so might as well choose the reliable one for a long term

>but I don't think you have the right to require those around you in public places to take a new vaccine that has not even undergone the normal rigors of FDA approval.

Under the NYC "mandate", No one is required to be vaccinated. I'll say that again: no one is being required to be vaccinated.

While I disagree with the DeBlasio administration's new policy (WRT bars, gyms, etc.), both because it will be almost impossible to enforce and because the benefits (via increased vaccinations) will likely be marginal at best, no one is forcing anyone to do anything.

I'd much prefer (as an increasing number of restaurants, theaters and other venues and businesses are doing) that requiring patrons and staff to be vaccinated be a decision taken by the specific business involved.

Those businesses that only allow vaccinated people in their establishments will gain some folks and lose others -- and vice versa.

Regardless, and I'll say it one more time: the "mandate" from the NYC government doesn't force anyone to get vaccinated, nor does it restrict anyone from public spaces.

NYers aren't stupid (or at least not in any greater amount than anywhere else) and most will (and have) take appropriate precautions.

That said, the new requirements won't be all that effective because they're essentially unenforceable unless the business' owners are fully on board -- if they are, then they'll (as many have already done) require their staff and patrons to be vaccinated.

If a business' owners aren't on board with this, they won't require it, whether it's mandated or not.
