Dammit, thanks for pointing that out.
This is absolutely outrageous and disgusting from Google. I cannot believe how at the rate the world is changing (pace wise, with each new technological breakthrough) the law simply cannot keep pace.

We've allowed AI systems unfettered, unrestricted access to our lives. AI is being deployed with absolutely no oversight (Apple's CSAM comes to mind), I'm not even sure there are any laws at all. How can apple just deploy a new system without having to first go through the courts? We all know at some point someone will lodge a suit against them for an inaccurate match...

Decisions like this must be deferred to a human, who creates a record and is capable in case anything untoward happens. AI seems exempt from any liability (this is probably why so many places are deploying such systems, as a society it seems we've decided that no matter what good or bad may happen "AI" gets a free pass and no human will likely go to jail, even if your self driving car kills you).

The fact you can be deprived due to a mistaken software error is one of the most awful things in our society, and this has happened far too many times for it to go ignored time and again.

But as I've said on HN before this thread will eventually disappear in a few hours until next time.

How many more times must threads like this be posted to HN before we DEMAND action be taken?

See you next month ;).

For people in rich nations, the level of consumerism they have been accustomed to their whole lives, has to go. For most people this means no more driving, no more flying, no more eating fancy foods and buying fancy things. People have to live pretty much like hippies.

For people in the rest of the world, the promise of the modern industrial rich age (which is mostly a mirage anyway) has to go.

Pretty much nobody in the world is willing to accept this sacrifice (remember, covid only lasted like two years and public will was/is really strained by the end -- what's needed here is a permanent change), so since this is a hard requirement for any solution, there's no other except treating it like a technical challenge.

That's my view anyway

>Imagine it was a leak. Dozens or hundreds of people -- researchers with PhDs and international cred and travel ability -- would have had to be knowledgeable about the research and in on the coverup.

I don't see why this would be the case. It could be a lab leak with nobody at the being aware or having evidence. Why must people be in on a secret coverup?

Many activities that make evaluating the lab leak hypothesis difficult were done in the open: Destruction of early virus samples and deletion of Gene sequencing from public databases.

>Add to that the fact that covid is a close cousin of already-known endemic viruses and that nothing about it looks engineered at all, and... this is still just a natural virus, sorry.

The virus does not need to have been engineered to have leaked from a lab. Natural viruses can and do leak from labs as well.
It most certainly did not.
That started out very powerfully, but the author tried to cram way too many disparate things in there. It lost a lot of steam halfway through; god knows why it turned into a love story. What was the point? All that stuff with crypto? The cryptic poem type things interspersed. It was a good effort and started off amazing; shame about the lack of focus.

Would Google also be able to negatively influence such an app if the app was a PWA? Publishing PWA on Play Store might still lead to the same outcome, but what if it is just an independent PWA and is "installed" through the phone's browser? Of course you would loose some discoverability though, but are there other disadvantages? (provided the app is even feasible as a PWA)

As I see things the only solution is that humans need to stop reproducing so much. There are far too many people for the resources of the planet given current technology.
I'd say the bigger problem is that it's roughly equivalent to saying, "Just because my argument is bad doesn't mean I'm wrong."

I mean, yes, that's true, but you have yet to prove yourself correct, so why should anyone change their mind?
Screen capture, Nope. Drone footage, yes!
In the case of Apple, I think it's especially a case of a company great at products. They did great because they had a great vision of the product.

> Yes some people will die, yes some will severely sick but that is a risk I'm willing to accept for normal life.

This sentiment right here is probably the single most depressing thing for me, as an American. I’m not even mad anymore.

We had the opportunity to work together as a nation to overcome Covid. The virus doesn’t care about politics, culture, religion. But as we’ve seen, nothing can overcome American individualism.

No one is trying to take away freedom with a mask. There are much more effective techniques for undermining personal freedoms.

Wearing a mask during a global pandemic shows you care about your family, and your community. It shows that you care about health care workers, who have been living in the very worst of this the whole time. It shows that you care that there’s enough capacity in hospitals for emergencies besides covid, like car accidents.

To not wear masks, knowing the risks it imposes on the unvaccinated, is to not care. And that is the sad part, people not caring about the people around them.

My children under 12 have not been vaccinated, and kids are not immune to covid. Masks are simple, effective tool in the fight against covid.

I am relieved that our district is requiring masks. It’s the smart choice to keep our communities healthy and economically viable.
I much prefer "climate crisis." It's just more accurate for where we are.
Consumers regret Apple's confusion over 'willingness to purchase future Apple devices.'
In Canada, the Financial Post just ran an editorial saying it was a net positive because it will result in fewer deaths from "cold waves" e.g. winter storms. Flooding and other severe weather events were, unsurprisingly, handwaved away. Feedback loops and tipping points were completely ignored.

I do not think it was intended as satire, but the idea that we should cook ourselves to death to prevent freezing to death has a very Swiftian vibe to me.

C is not friendly but it sets you off on the right path.

Adding a bit of C to your tool belt will give you success wherever you go. The concepts it teaches are invaluable in understanding why things are built the way they are today. Everything from memory management, to trying to solve all these vulnerabilities, to why new languages have these crazy constructs.
I'm surprised this straw-man still exists. If there are any people that "believe global warming does not exist", it's an edge minority. All skeptics are clear that they believe global warming is happening.

The far bigger issue in addressing the global warming matter is actually people who seem incapable of having a rational and logical discussion and debate about things, and instead simply demand imposed obedience and blind trust in people who repeatedly and constantly on many different topics keep proving themselves untrustworthy and even malicious in intent. It is in fact also why we will end up in global conflict over not just this topic, but all other topics that will also be on the line when the dam breaks.

It is unfortunate that people, which you may or may not belong to, are so ideologically and fervently obsessed that they aren't actually talking about "global warming" at all, and what underpins their base assumptions are not only a deep rooted compulsion to hate their own, but also are driven by a need to dominate and subjugate others. It is akin to a psychological state in a turned/toxic relationship, where a deep and irrational resentment based on real or even just perceived slights and insults boils over into ever increasing hostility and often even also blind need to dominate or "win" even if it means self-harm and spiteful self-destruction. It is essentially a manic episode on a societal and civilizational level that we are going through, not just regarding "global warming" but on many different topics like gays, trans, immigration, freedom vs authoritarianism, etc.

They are all issues that are like in a toxic and unhealthy relationship where resentments have built up so badly (regardless of origin or legitimacy) that, no, e.g., she blows up over tiny things as a proxy for whatever the far bigger issue is.
I was glad they walked back on Dragonfly and (effectively) killed AMP.

The problem isn't listening to politicians, the problem is listening to talk show hosts with vested interests in the fossil fuel industry.

The problem is you can tune into those hosts with a simple AM radio. Getting access to the scientific literature is somewhat more difficult, especially if you are a tech illiterate.

Question – double down on business skills, or supplement biz skills w technical?
Hi everyone, seeking some advice - newbie here so if this doesn't belong here please tell me to delete.

29 yo. College background: Quantitative Econ and Finance. Work background: Was a finance bro for a few years (wall street) then joined the startup world as an employee (operator) and really learned the business / commercial skills (think biz-dev/marketing/ops.. did almost every division that is non-technical).

Looking to build something of my own in the future, but I'm in no rush and I have a very long-term view of things in that I want to achieve true mastery in this field. I have been thinking to supplement my business skills with engineering skills - to do a bootcamp and work as a SWE for 2-5 years. Rationale: this will make me a good engineer and will allow me to learn and earn at the same time, while being able to build my own projects in evenings/weekends and upskilling, and adding the technical skills to my skill-stack which already consists of the business side of things.

I may be wrong but I have this vision for being a 'full stack operator' - not that I'll ever be as good of a coder as the person doing it since their teenage years, but just to be able to build mvp / communicate with engineers / have technical awareness etc, I think it will go a long way if I'm planning to be in this industry for several decades to come (hopefully). I have the business skills but I'm thinking of getting the technical skills too. Of course I know many people who only have business skills and build successful companies, and I know it's not a requirement. However, I have an admiration for the very few who can build and can sell and have a long-termist view on things (think Bezos).

There is the classic debate of specialisation vs generalisation, however I wouldn't call this generalisation given that it's in the same field of building technology companies and will solidify my overall skillset. However, turning 30 soon and as Bill Gates once said: I'd rather teach an engineer marketing than teach a marketer engineering. As age goes up, some say focus and energy goes down, but I'm not sure this applies to someone in early 30s of their career.

Any thoughts / advice would be sincerely appreciated. Stick to doubling down on my business skills, or supplement the business skills with technical skills? Thanks so much to all.
I assumed from the title that this would be the Harvard facility. I never would have dreamed that Schaumburg would be shut down as long as the brand existed. How wrong I was!
Motorola is maybe a telling of how complacency and pure business leadership can lead to a downfall.

They became complacent, they abandoned their technical leadership for bean counters, and became dust.

Intel was almost going down that road.
Apple PR is clearly working overtime trying to spin this as a "misunderstanding" and "confusion".

Because discovering a “new bias”, like discovering new market failures, is an instant path to book authorship and possibly the nobel.

A lot of them could frankly be considered versions of the same bias, or combinations of some of them.

Others are not bias at all, just a result of bad thinking.
By what measure "millions" is not big? We are talking about pagination there.

And even then you just scale up your database server to have performant disks and implement caching.

You'll be just fine going through even tens of millions of rows.

Hi former neighbor!

For those that are wondering, here is the campus on maps: https://goo.gl/maps/WdHju125jSbmRbaS9. It looks like it's mostly been torn down now (streetview and satellite show it gone).

I never visited the campus. My next door neighbor worked there (he was a big RF guy and had a a giant shortwave antenna on his roof). They also employed so many people that they had their own stoplights at their entrance/exit. Plus the city convinced them to do staggered start/end times for their employees as to not flood the roads around the building.
I hope that GATech one day offers an affordable online math MSc program, like their CS program
That's not an ad hominem. You're attacking their argument, not them as a person.

An ad hominem would be like saying, "Oh yeah, well you're an alcoholic", for instance, as though that could discredit their argument even if it were true.

Personally, I think the PhD route is a waste of time and money. But if you feel very strongly about it, then you might as well do it.
Why does it give you pause for thought? Isn’t the mostly likely conclusion is that the reason more data is leading to more gloom and doom is because we are in a gloom and doom situation?

>Will the children take more harm from missing faces, or from sickness and deaths?

They will take more harm from missing faces because their psychological development depends on reading face emotions. Covid death rate among children is extremely low but they can spread it to their parents are grandparents tho.

After this pandemic is all gone and done why don't we all wear Guy Fawkes masks for the rest of the life if faces don't matter as you imply. Maybe that way we can preserve our privacy and fight CCTV surveillance.

The "realness" is determined by the signal to noise ratio. In this case I find mostly joke sites, memes, and sites trying to sell a political/social agenda using it.

Straws and plastic bags are about pollution more than global warming, I think.

> They need to address industry, shipping and population growth. The last one might be a third rail for some countries. But look, China did it. The west did it (via progress on education, etc).

I'm not a malthusian, but there's still good news for those types. Birth rates have greatly declined globally, and continue to go down. This is largely due to greater access to education and contraception, which I think we can almost all agree are good things.

> Electric cars are nice but won’t do much to lessen emissions.

Transportation is 29% of emissions in the US, and over their lifespan, electric cars have much reduced emissions. They will get better as we transition away from fossil fuels, unlike gasoline cars. Fun fact: in the US, 40% of our power already comes from nuclear and renewables.

Why is it not scary? The hot July killed 1000 people in the Pacific Northwest alone in just 1 week. An entire Canadian town burned the the ground, basically nothing left. Residents had 15 minutes warning and not everyone made it out. Where are you located that this hot July wasn't scary?

This hot July had my fingers on emergency services as temperatures rose, AC couldn't keep up, loved ones with asthma and already trouble breathing sometimes, etc. This hot August has unhealthy fire smoke and it's difficult for me to breath outside if on a long walk.

Physical realities of this hot July for just me, in my one physical location, were INTENSE. And that's not even considering the idea that most future Julys will be hotter than this one.

And that every month being so hot is a leading indicator of more chaotic weather in all the bad ways - storms, heatwaves, etc.

I honestly don't know how you could live through this July and not be scared of it. Maybe you got lucky with your location? This July was 100% miserable to live through and totally scary.
I don't even see it as pure generosity anymore. There could have been a survival motive behind it. Before Squanto, the Brits who landed at Turtle Island had been treated either with shunning, captivity, or adoption into local tribes. Squanto visited them and taught them technology and government. There are a lot of theories about why he chose to deal with the settlers so differently from the rest of his countrymen but I don't think he was the "noble savage" he's usually portrayed as.
