Here in Toronto, Canada:

One fallout of this is the rise in prices of old / used cars. To give you an idea, a 2018 Toyota/Honda minivan is Canadian dollars 10,000 higher than pre-covid times.

It's ok for folks who have a newish car and want to buy another used car as their current car prices would have increased. But if you are like me, who drives a 15+ year rusty old car and is desperate to buy a 3-4 year old car, then good luck. Not only are the prices much higher (and your car's value is junk) but at the same time, inventory (even for used cars) is super low.

I would have loved to live in a City / Country where car is not necessary but this city I live is built for cars...

Purely as a joke:

Maybe car manufacturers should revive the production lines to produce 1980s Toyota Cressidas, Camrys and Chevy Impalas.
Thank you yet again.

At the end of day, what's not super helpful is a bunch of "Actually ..." comments in a disjointed thread on a clickbait article from a biased (pro-business class) source.

It would be a lot more helpful to just have some Snopes.com-style primer on "how Americans pay taxes."

Here are some examples - though I have not personally vetted any of these for bias, they seem to be based on a shared set of facts and designations, and are, if not neutral, then also not clearly pushing a particular agenda.

* https://itep.org/who-pays-taxes-in-america-in-2019/

* https://www.cbpp.org/research/misconceptions-and-realities-a... (This one is the closest to a Snopes-style "debunking" of the "61% paid no income taxes" headline)
I'm probably misunderstanding something, but I do see some 2014 dates at the bottom of the page linked above. ISTM wikipedia was informed of this scientist in some fashion in 2014, and those contributions were deleted or set aside or whatever. I'm happy to be educated on this, but at least we can say that the process is obscure.

Of course the point is that GP's whinging about headlines is silly. Her Nobel paper was published in 1985.
Ok sure, PhotoDNA has existed since 2008. Where are the instances of people being sent to prison?
The answer to your question is set out in excruciating detail at:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(academic...
Wikipedia is essentially just an echo chamber for western propaganda. Good luck if you have an actual primary source instead of some nonsense from a reliable "secondary source" like uncited junk from NPR.
Clicking on this headline I knew for sure that the person was a woman, even if I knew nothing of the case. At some point we can't hide behind correlation is not causation anymore.
Why not edit the wiki to refer to the article?
It's not an app (although those apps may help implement it, idk). It's a method from a researcher B.J. Fogg, who wrote a book called "Tiny Habits" [1]. I haven't read that one, but I listened to a similar approach in "Atomic Habits" [2].

I don't understand if you're presenting this question broadly, in a vacuum? Or if you're still in the context of your question about (mis-)pronunciation of streets etc. while providing navigation for a driver whose chosen language is not the same language as the current location, and who it may be safe to assume cannot understand the local languages' pronunciation even when the alphabet is similar (e.g. an English speaker in a Portuguese speaking country is very unlikely to understand if the navigayor natively pronounces "rua da Heitor do Rio do Engenho", a name I just made up that may exist somewhere, which I think demonstrates the difficulty I'm talking about.)
Ok yes - now then, PhotoDNA has existed since 2008. When has what you’ve described ever happened?
Probably because of GDPR, and similar laws coming into place. You cannot actually automatically hold people under 18 to whatever terms they've consented to on Facebook etc. like you an for adults. You'd actually be required to get their parents consent, which obviously they don't.
I'm not super big on ESR myself, but somehow this[1] appeared in front of me when I was 11 or 12 and I sincerely believe that, had it not, I wouldn't have been as fascinated by open source software development as early as I did and for as long as I have. In retrospect I really don't agree with all of it, but a lot of its main ideas continue to ring true for me and I still find it an enjoyable read after all this time. Generally, I've found that I really like essays about hacker culture (like the Lisp Curse essay, which I won't link here) as opposed to career-advice or technical-lesson blog posts. When I'm getting a friend into software I try to urge them to check such essays out as they illustrate a kind of fun and exciting, intrinsically motivated culture that's seemingly detached from the image of corporate software engineering in most people's minds.

> The notability criteria are skewed, tending to think that every minor person in the pop culture is notable

I think that's more a reflection of current society, of which people who create Wikipedia are recruited. If you want something more isolated from the whims of common folks, you still have Encyclopedia Britannica:

https://www.britannica.com/biography/Donna-Strickland

Except, oops, the oldest article in EB about Strickland is from mid-2019:

https://web.archive.org/web/20190601000000*/https://www.brit...

Hey, Wikipedia included her in late 2018 -- half a year before Britannica! I mean, you may be disappointed that someone didn't pick her for inclusion in Wikipedia before her Nobel award but then I have to ask what do you think about Britannica if you consider Wikipedia to be the one in need of a overhaul? Britannica is supposed to be written by subject experts, right? Not by us poor folks in our free time. Why didn't they include her years ago?

> They could relax the standard for deletion and it wouldn't hurt anything.

Then you're one of the inclusionists. It's a perfectly valid stance that some other editors will disagree with.
Late for the response but: JSON naturally encourages data to structural in ways that are often nested. In your example, if there's one or two additional layers of context (say, affiliation of the two persons), maintaining a CSV-like layout will be more cumbersome and unnecessary. I don't see many CSV or tabular-like JSON/XML in the wild and they really shouldn't be used that way.
tldr: this is expected. The article addresses everything I'm about to say, but I think the lede is buried:

>Apple's NeuralHash perceptual hash function performs its job better than I expected

When you are just looking for any two collisions in 100M x 100M comparisons, of course you'll find a small number of positives, Apple said as much. The number of expected collisions will scale linearly with the number of 'bad' images, which is not 100M. Assuming it's 100k, we'd expect 1000x fewer collisions in ImageNet, or ~0.002 collisions, which is effectively 0. It's the artificial images that will potentially sink all this, not a very low rate of naturally occurring hash collisions.
I am not familiar with the story (or Wikipedia's standards for new pages) but there are some 2014 dates here as well:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Donna_Strickland&...
By the time the FBI comes knocking for your devices, they have a lot of evidence, not a list of hash collisions.
The always present whining on HN against Wikipedia's core policies like verifiability and notability perplexes me. Surely most people here are familiar with the notion of maintainability? Insisting on verifiability and notability are merely prerequisites for maintainability.

The real problem with Wikipedia is that it (the volunteer community) is not able to enforce even the core policies... And the foundation that owns Wikipedia only hinders the efforts of the community. I hope the world gets a better structured encyclopedia project one day.

EDIT: perhaps the worst thing about Wikipedia is the anarchic decision-making procedures, the so called RfC. It's supposed to be a discussion that results in a "consensus" decision. Except that the Wikipedia term "consensus" isn't what one would usually think of as a consensus, and it's not well defined. Somebody who didn't participate in the RfC discussion usually makes the call on what the consensus is ("closes" the RfC). Except that they don't even need to examine the discussion very much, whoever does it can basically invent the consensus.
Let's say I get you to click on a link. That link contains a thumbnail gallery of CSAM. With the right CSS, you might not even notice it, but it's in your browser's cache and on your filesystem. Lots of pictures - more than enough for your phone to snitch on you.

All because you clicked on a link.

> It's a puzzle to me why companies like nvidia didn't just raise prices

They did. There have been at least three major prices increases which rocked entire industries.

There have been reports of people paying 30x the usual price.

Purpose is all that is needed for motivation, progress and overcoming procrastination.

The joy of completion, adulation from coworkers/customers, fear of being late to work, need for money to pay bills... some people it's a gun to the head.

Gather as many purpose providing elements to your life and you will never lack motivation or have procrastination again.

How about PMP/PMI related certificates? Are those really being used/looked at as a value added item in someone's resume?
> This is a false-positive rate of 2 in 2 trillion image pairs (1,431,168^2). Assuming the NCMEC database has more than 20,000 images, this represents a slightly higher rate than Apple had previously reported. But, assuming there are less than a million images in the dataset, it's probably in the right ballpark.

The number of images in that database could well be far in excess of a million. According to NCMEC [1], in 2020 65.4 million files that were reported to them, and "[s]ince the program inception in 2002, CVIP [child victim identification project] has reviewed more than 330 million images and videos."

Of course many of those were duplicate but it would be entirely unsurprised if there were more than a million original files.

Building it is one thing. Making it operational without importing talent and running it profitably is another. Taiwan has some of the best fab engineers who work at US minimum wage salaries. Of course you can pull them away with higher pay like China is doing, but that means profitability will likely go for a toss.
Having gone down this path while sizing my water system ... it depends: (1) environment; (2) precisely what you mean by "survive"; and, (3) how healthy the water is.

There's a lot of variation there. If you look at off-grid and deep-back-packing sort of sites, they'll give you a good idea.

For me, it came to 500 gallons per person, for Central Texas, to "stay alive through the worst historical drought I know of". We don't have any natural place to get rid of sewage (we're on a solid limestone hill), so that really complicates things for us.
Thanks! I’ll do exactly that.
How Thoughtful Communication Makes Us Unreasonably Productive
There are some industrial machines that compensate for chatter by slightly varying the spindle speed when chatter is detected. However machines so equipped are fundamentally very rigid and usually experience chatter occurs when pushing end mill performance to its limits. I suspect the adaptive spindle speed strategy would be much less useful on a machine like the Polar Bear.
> "...a time when we didn't use our real names, we'd both change identities and did not expect our identities to be perfectly congruent with our IRL selves."

i've always been struck by the concept of names (formal name, pen name, courtesy name, etc) as alternate identities, which is prominent in the chinese historical/wuxia dramas i guiltily indulge in (e.g., often a character employs a different name, and the other characters all the sudden have no idea who this character is within the reality of the drama).

it seems like the panopticians are encouraging netizens to adopt a similar assortment of names and identities to compartmentalize our public and private lives.
This is already possible with PhotoDNA. When has it happened?
I must admit I can't recall a single experience as "life changing", maybe it's a cultural thing, but I can't imagine a single event (other than a very serious, debilitating accident, or winning an insane sum of money) could be understood as life changing, much less reading a blog post, or anything else for that matter.
To expand on this Linux threads, NPTL and fork() all call clone() under modern Linux and glibc.

The flags on that call and mostly what is inherited or dropped is the main difference.

Add in pid remapping with namespaces in containers and it is common for people to go on wild goose chases if they assume that the legacy fork() model is in play.
US healthcare org sends data breach warning to 1.4m patients following
That is literally the status quo with every cloud service. Apple, unlike the others, has said that they will evaluate you on the basis of what’s included in the associated data of your safety voucher, and you can inspect those contents because they’re shipped in the client. Facebook, for all I know, might be calculating a child predator likelihood score on my account based on how often I look up my middle school ex-girlfriend on Instagram.

In addition, “pretty reasonable” is an opinion not fact. Where is the evidence that PhotoDNA hashes have been compromised in this way in the fifteen years they’ve been used?
This is brilliant. Thanks for the reference!
You're confusing design, planning, and central planning.

Traffic arteries are not the result of central economic planning. They are the result of the free market dumping the externalities of cars.

At that point you have two choices. Either you ban the car, and interfere in the free market and "pick winners and losers", something Hayek wouldn't like, or you adapt the infrastructure to what people are asking for in order to reduce traffic fatalities and other externalities of car ownership.

Central planning would be saying - no, cars aren't working at scale, we will limit the production of cars.

In this case the government didn't do central planning. It didn't pick winners and losers. It went with what the free market decided.
Sure, but if you’re never going to do any MIR-level optimizations, then there’s no reason to implement it.

Similarly for graphics APIs. If at some point in the future you need to support a platform not supported by wgpu, you can add the abstraction layer at that time. Doing it before then doesn’t really buy you anything. You might never need it, and if you do, you’ll have a much better idea of what it should look like once you know what the new platform actually looks like.

> How do you make javac or csc read stdio.h?

Why would I need to? Swig execution is part of the build process (a dependency).

We seem to be arguing past each other: my original point is that modules are not a complete replacement for headers because headers are used to specify an interface that all languages can, right now, in a very practical sense, use.

In practical terms, headers work as an interface to the rest of the system that all other languages currently consume. Modules cannot (and there is no indication that they ever will be able to) provide this functionality.
Frankly when did Wikipedia admins start getting praised for not doing a thorough job and acting as gatekeepers?

This is likely the source of most biases.

Again. Leaving an article and requesting additions from the public is drastically different to deleting it because it doesn't meet some arbitrary standard.

This case proves that something in that process is making Wikipedia all the poorer for this being the case.
Yeah I don't get that, is it a joke? Pun? Some meaning that isn't how I'm (or your first two takes) reading it?

Even git's early days were well after the last ARPANET days.

Edit: I suppose they just mean 'since time immemorial', but in internets. Perhaps I'm just tired/'whooshed' but I think that was more confusing than they were going for!
> Seems like it would require, at minimum, several planets worth of raw material.

You could mine it from asteroids, which have plenty of base metals. There's already a speculative market for investors wishing to mine them. The only thing is; the technology for transporting it around doesn't exist yet. (We can land probes on them however for recon, but that's about it so far!).
I am more thinking how much the recruiters look at the certificates at the initial screening. Considering that they get 100s for resume for a job they should make decision very fast and I thought maybe the whole certificate thing is a differentiator that can make a difference in being selected for a next round of resume screening or not.
From what I remember FinTS was a very escoteric protocol and super low level. What PSD2 promises is modern APIs that devs from this millennia are used to to build off of.
I am playing devils advocate here, but if you are the solider in Abu Gharaib torture photos, I am not sure you should have a right to purge the internet search of those photos.

386sx 16mhz was my first (not family owned) personal computer that I received for college as a high school graduation present for software engineering. This was before having the internet in 1990. One of my favorite things that summer was, once I discovered Fractint, I loved making animated zooming fractal movies. It would take about 5-15 minutes to generate a single frame of julia at 640x480 resolution with my state of the art super cool video card with 512k of ram that could do 256 colors (most computers were still on 16 colors at the time). Then you'd zoom in a level and slightly move the viewport and render a new frame, and repeat for a few days. All manually. It took forever to make a clip even 5 seconds long.

I saved up for the math coprocessor, and that thing was a game changer. It cut the processing times by at least half. I can really, really appreciate what a small, modern day cell phone is capable of in terms of compute and graphics power. Even smart watches are more powerful than my first computer.
Man, that was a great read. Definitely wasted some work time reading this instead because I couldn’t pull myself away.
I know it's just boilerplate that probably goes on a lot of news articles, but I find it so ironic that they are releasing a press release about ongoing legal action against Facebook, yet include the below call to action to 'like' them on that very same website!

This, plus the discipline to actually do the small, specific thing you said you'd do.
When i'm cooking in this mode, i use a rice cooker to cook lentils, the Puy / French / lentilles vertes / speckled type. I like those because they retain a lot of texture when cooked, and have a decent flavour. Dry lentils, olive oil (apply to the dry lentils and stir to coat), water, fraction of a stock cube or some miso paste, garlic, herbs, spices, whatever else you like; cook on the white rice programme. Extremely easy, pretty tasty, and with loads of scope for variation.

As an addition, sliced chorizo is great, the spicy pork fat melts out and improves everything. Lardons are almost as good. You can float a chicken thigh on top, and it will cook nicely, but won't get crispy, but you can finish it up under the grill. Sliced onion is remarkably good, soaks up the stock and comes out juicy. I often add leafy brassicas like cabbage or kale, not very exciting but it's healthy.

I've used the same rice cooker on a slow cooking setting to cook beef ragout, something like cassoulet, and pork knuckle.

A pressure cooker can do all this, but can do the high-temperature bits faster!

The direction is interesting, this particular post not so.

In a similar way to how storage became more like main memory, memory can become more like compute cores. GPUs are a bit like that with very many cores, but their memories are not partitioned. Along this trend SSD's are the furthest away and would be the last thing to get cores than the first.

I could easily imagine tiny cores to drive each micro-LED. There could also be big efficiency improvements, as each data copying imposes a thermodynamic minimum energy requirement, so the less you move/copy the higher the theoretical efficiency. I suppose if you don't care about the source data location, those moves could be swaps.

Totally agree. A tab is just an open bookmark.

But it's pretty clear that the bookmark metaphor is getting stale, now that we all spend all our time in a browser. I like the authors analog of looking around at his desk and bookshelves to see his reference material.

You don't find the quote you are looking for by iterating thru all the dog eared pages in every book on your shelves - you know what shelf the poetry is on, you look at the spines, you pull out the Billy Collins, look at the table of contents and skim to Introduction to Poetry[1] (its a good one).

Tab groups, pinned and vertical tabs help a bit but there's a lot more to be done.

Not to mention unifying my bookmarks (ie web resources regularly referenced) with other notes and information sources.

You’re correct that all of these are addressable in isolation, given time, with some loss of utility.

However, if we experience a catastrophic problem in space, we’ll have to deal with all of them simultaneously, with extreme time pressures.
