I've found that being a bastard in salary negotiations (pushing, not backing down, willing to walk) is the very best way to get promoted, and it should almost always be with a new company. Your existing company knows what you're being paid, and that's hobbling. You need asymmetric leverage. No one needs to know your salary. They should see how you value yourself in the salary negotiation. Take risks. Pays off. You do have to perform, so don't push so hard that you can't do the work. I suppose that goes without saying, but some people forget. I forgot once. Ended up surrounded by PhD statisticians that ate my lunch. Fired 3 months later. Was still paid ridiculously, but was also ego-bruising.

You can practice this with headhunters. Push the numbers. Try double your current number. You'd be surprised some of the numbers you can pull out of them in certain "must have now" situations.
Yeah, definitely goes both ways, and I can foresee many anecdotes about how not having to deal w/ a driver is nicer in some way or another. Hence why I said I'm curious about human-factor issues. I don't believe there's precedents anywhere for what to expect once the tech rolls out at scale, so it's going to be interesting to see what kinds of operational issues they end up running into.
I would appreciate if the title said it's for js (and not rust)
Elsewhere in the thread, someone used 'high low high' to mean the whistle you use to get someone's attention, and 'low high low' meaning "I'm over here".
> If you tax the land, any value not capable of being extracted from said ownership before the tax will just get shunted into the ask price buyers have to meet to rent in the abscence of explicit controls to the contrary.

This is false. The rental market has supply that is effectively fixed. Therefore, landlords are already charging the maximum that renters are willing to pay. If they raised rent the renters would move or buy. Landlords that have efficiently used their land would have taxes go down, so people would move to their properties.

> In fact, all this would really serve to do is encourage maximum development/urbanization

This is one of the many points of land value tax. Valuable land should have expensive buildings on it. Building single family homes in an area that is in high demand is incredibly wasteful. Of course you should be able to do it, but it should be expensive.

> Take the farmer of 100 acres to the multi story tenement operator of occupancy 50 on say 10.

Farm land is much, much less valuable than tenement land. There's no way to say who would pay more taxes just based off this information. Either way, it makes sense for the tenement owner to make more money since he owns the building. The farmer owns no improvements to his land.

> Also, under the Georgist idea of land are all the natural resources of such as wind, sunlight

Yes.

> What if our tenement operator blocks or shades the farmer's tillage, rendering it unfit for growing? Or blocking the dominant wind approach? What if a river passes through one, or both parcels of land? Is one to get a discount for land shaded into inexploitability by another's construction? By airflow impeded through unit volume per unit time?

The farmers tax would decrease.

> What if our tenants wash themselves and dump waste upstream of the farmer, which is then used to irrigate his crops, creating a public health hazard? How is that valuated? A punitive tax extracted from the tenement owner? He may not even take part in this behavior. His tenants? Not supposed to pass it on, remember.

Dumping waste is illegal.

How are they going to require this in open source crypto wallet applications that download to your computer. They can be made outside of the EU. Downloaded by EU citizens.
Yes, misusing "deprecate" as a synonym for "remove" is a pet peeve of mine too, since the meaning is completely different. (There were a few word usages at Google that always annoyed me; "deprecate" was one, along with using LDAP as a synonym for "user id" and "turn down" for "shut off".)
Did they let you open an account before imposing this limit?

When I was looking into using them, I noted the $250,000 limit for new accounts but I'm not sure if they were always structured this way.
Autonomous driving systems are set at various levels of autonomy.

Level 0 is no automation, level 1 is just a dumb cruise control, level 2 is radar adaptive cruise control plus lane keeping (which is where most production systems like Tesla Autopilot and GM Supercruise are currently at). Level 2 still requires full human supervision, if you engaged it on the road above it would either fail to engage or you'd crash and it would be your fault. Level 3 is the same plus an ability to handle some common driving tasks, like changing lanes to pass a slower vehicle.

Level 4 is where it gets really interesting, because it's supposed to handle everything involved in navigating from Point A to Point B. It's supposed to stop itself in the event of encountering something it can't handle, so you could theoretically take a nap while it drove.

However, an important limitation is that Level 4 autonomy is geofenced, it's only allowed in certain areas on certain roads. Also, it can disable itself in certain conditions like construction or weather that inhibit visibility. Waymo vehicles like these are ostensibly level 4, if you tell them to drive through a back road in the snow they'll simply refuse to do so. It's only useful in reasonably good conditions in a few big cities.

Level 5 is considered to be Point A to Point B, for any two navigable points, in any conditions that the vehicle can traverse. You could build a Level 5 vehicle without a driver's seat, much less an alert driver. I kind of think this will require something much closer to artificial general intelligence; level 4 is just really difficult conventional programming.
> Middle steps: (1) Board members use product to travel to board meetings. (2) Board members use product as replacement for personal vehicles. (3) Board members demand pay increases.

How do you know board members aren't already using Waymo product heavily? It still doesn't mean they can go straight from board members using Waymo without backup drivers to arbitrary customers using Waymo without backup drivers.

Discord's smart move was emulating the concept of servers (including all the teenage drama coming from having administrators and moderators more interested in (ab)using their power than community building) while making them accessible to anyone without technical knowledge.

But it's important to remember that Discord is not that. Discord holds all your data, in luxurious detail, with no option to delete. They go as far as ignoring GDPR when people ask for their messages to be deleted. "Deleting" your account will not even anonymize your ID, it unsets your avatar, renames you, kicks you from all guilds and disables logging in. That's it. And if they ban you there is no place to move on to.
We've had a few companies reach out for support with short duration loans for various card products. We're running a pilot currently to see if it works. I don't think there is a great early stage solution for this problem yet but please let me know if you find something.

Great point, indeed the problem of automated ECG analysis has been around for the last several decades and there's still no automated solution accurate for AFib patients (one of the the hardest categories for making ECG measurements). Our software is specifically trained on AFib ECGs and our specific focus of this market and guiding drug dosing, as well as our clinical expertise in the field gives us our edge. It's a similar reason why startups can do things that Google and Amazon can't :)
It's a real shame. I used to really enjoy my daily Quora digest email. One of the only automated emails I truly dug into and read in detail. Over time I read it less and less. Then switched it to be weekly, then turned it off. I miss the old Quora.
You need to manually update apps from Fdroid due to artificial limitations introduced by Google for third party app stores - only Google Play and possibly device vendor apps stores can update apps automatically on non-rooted device.
Eh, as a Black male, the possibility of ignorant shit tends to accord with how young the age average of the barbers is, older/elderly barbers aren't treated as peers usually and so have a modicum of authority to curtail discussions when they feel its out-of-line or inappropriate, not to mention they're usually more thoroughly religiously observant. The church use to be a space for discussion with an authority figure like that but most Black men, particularly younger ones, have evacuated the church.
It's marketed as a store of value. The fact is value can't be stored reliably anywhere. And storing it in a purely imaginary asset, of all things, seems about the dumbest idea.

Look, where I live weed was decriminalized relatively recently. I could still get weed before, but I couldn't rock up some where and get a CBD soda, or a vape cartridge, or nice edibles, or a variety of products. In the same way you say "how will they ban anonymous wallets" you might say "how do you criminalize a plant", and thats by making possession illegal and following up on that by targeting people/places they expect to find said things. They don't have to make it physically impossible, they just need to introduce enough friction into the process that for most people it stops being worthwhile.

>You seem to give the media the benefit of doubt, I however accuse them of malice, only because of all the opportunities they had to cover this issue (for months on end).

To add to this, remember that Cuomo was given an award for his handling of the pandemic by the media. I know it has been taken away, but just last year, the media decided to look past his nursing home fiasco and give him an award.
I suspect the main "roadblocks" are about the environment for the SDC.

All traffic signs and signals need to be machine readable at a distance. That is, a traffic light might beam out "I am light 'SFTL783', will be green for 8 more seconds". The location and other data for SFTL783 is in a preloaded database. Same for speed limits and other signage.

An updated 3d map of all roads would also help a lot. As would car-to-car communication systems.
I didn’t :-p

TBH: These days I prefer other venues though. E.g. HN, Slack and Facebook groups.

It seems like we're heading for a society lying and fraud are engaged in and almost tolerated a lot more, and certainly where resources for enforcement are stripped.

Nope, not even close. There's a very specific reason they've picked Chandler, and it's that there's relatively little weather and the roads are fairly simple (among many other things specific to Chandler).

The vast majority of the contiguous United States is decidedly not "on the table" as of now.

"The contiguous United States" is still a decade (or more) away. It may literally never happen.
I agree with smaller and more expensive. But less flexible? How is a fixed bus route that needs to run on a fixed schedule, reasonably invariant to current demand, more flexible than a car that can take you point-to-point on-demand?

I see this as the future of public transport, where you'd have a combo of smaller and bigger vehicles (including self-driving minibuses and buses) running autonomously, with options to pay more in order to walk less, but only running where people actually need them . Similar to Uber and Lyft Pool before the pandemic, where you could pay less to be picked up on a main street intersection instead of your front door.

You don't like threads? I find them useful at times, that's part of what I like about Slack, it has enough potential for customization that you can bend it to your culture. For example, you can use bots that suit your workflows, use threads or not use them, use emoji reactions or not use them, use private threads or small channels, or always large channels..

Is it really faster to learn what "|" means than "ON"?

> I had to deal with

And now you're fluent in English, while learning "|" was useful only for a switch.

Again, nobody has to learn English in order to know what a handful of words like "ON" mean. You don't even need to learn the alphabet.

Some 0-days - sure. But we're talking about a major corporation continuing their business uninhibited.

If the NSO Group has been active for a number of years, couldn't Apple make an effort to purchase their products (through some third party, perhaps) and then reverse-engineer the vulnerabilities?
That is a good point. It looks like they have a $4999.99 limit in any seven day period [0]. That is also the single-transaction limit (though there are some variations if you are doing transactions with a merchant and not another private individual). Zelle has higher limits (over seven days, at least), but more of them. $3500 in a day, $10000 in a seven day period, or $20000 in a 30 day period [1].

So for certain high-dollar cash-equivalent transactions, these might not be the best choice. Though personally I think I'd probably end up using something more formal if I were transferring that kind of cash in a single private party transaction.

Ha! Thank you
It's not that people don't want to imagine, it's that you don't need to imagine that.

I seems like you're hijacking the discussion to your pet issue. My point isn't about how good in general the computer analogy is, it really isn't. You should consider that maps of brain function began quite a while ago, before the start of the 20th (though accelerated by WWI). Here, the analogy was the machine and the mapping of brain followed functional units in machines. And if you consider the point I make (which pretty much echos the article), it's really a counter-example. The multi-layer organization of software show a system doesn't necessarily have to follow naive physical functional units, especially ones we naively perceive. That's it, there's nothing here forcing the computer analogy.
This is definitely true although 99% of the time they rely on self reported income. American Express is one exception that is known to occasionally “Financial Review” big spenders, asking the borrower to authorize release of their prior IRS tax transcripts.

It isn't laughable at all. The real problem of FSD is the ridiculous long-tail of scenarios in the real-world that you simply cannot account for or manage well. At this point, Tesla has a huge upper hand because every vehicle in their fleet can constantly collect and provide new semi-labelled training data every time there is a user disengagement or an unforeseen action taken by the driver.

Tesla has built out amazing infrastructure to capture extensive amounts of "hard" examples from their fleet, turn them around into labeled data for training very efficiently and then utilizing simulations to further broaden the distribution of such quirky long-tail events in their training-set. In the absence of AGI, this is a very effective "brute-force" approach and they have a huge upper hand over every other player in this space.

I say all of this even though I am very skeptical that anyone will achieve L5 self-driving with where the state of things are today. But Karpathy and team are very pragmatic and making lots of good decisions coupled with excellent engineering and infrastructure development.

When you see how much effort it takes to C# and Java to optimize the runtime, there are a lot of people working on that. C# is fast but you see that it uses between 2 and 32 times the memory that Go needs.

Overall you can see how fast Go is, it has little optimization compare to C# and it's as fast. Compare this: https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/... and overly complicated C# version: https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/... ( avx, Intrinsics etc ... )

Ask HN: Is it just me, or do most data scientists hate their jobs?
I've been a data scientist (DS) for a while. It's a generally a well paid job with good benefits and work/life balance, yet... I hate this career.

I've had positions at a few different sized companies (big public company vs small startup) working on different types of products (B2B/enterprise vs B2C), and it doesn't matter. After an initial honeymoon phase, I'll get hit by a strong combo of frustration/boredom/cynicism and want to quit.

It could be that I'm burning out or just have a short attention span, but this seems like this is a pervasive issue among DS positions. Almost every DS I talk to (coworkers as well as those in other companies) is unhappy or disillusioned about their role. There are plenty of employees at these companies that genuinely enjoy their work, yet there isn't a single DS I know where I think "I can envision this person doing this work for a couple decades and making a full career out of it until they retire". Everybody is trying to transition to a different type of role (engineering, product management, people management) or just dropping out of tech completely to become a beekeper or something.

I have lots of theories for why this specific role seems so unhappy, but I wanted to take a step back from that and get some broader takes on whether this phenomenon is real. Are DSers -- the job title billed as the 'sexiest job' a few years ago -- generally unhappy in their work? Or is this my own confirmation/sampling bias?
Great feature! This will help me stop using twitter!

I've also noticed that in a lot of tech-related social circles people are increasingly choosing Discord over Slack. That's a trend I totally didn't expect: at least until a few years ago it was clear that Discord was for gamers and Slack was for work and everyone else. That changed quickly. Impressive indeed!
At about that time I came into contact with a carbon offsets brokerage which European royalty had backed. I wondered if what they were actually selling was the opportunity to rub shoulders and network with some big hitters. That company was sold for a lot of money before the carbon market crashed last time for a range of reasons which I don’t think have been resolved.

Having social commentary is not the same as having insight. You can easily comment on society, and have those comments be absolute garbage.

I think this will change as devices become more long-lived (I still use an Android 5.x device today) and more repairable.

For many it won't matter, but for many it will.

You can see a similar thing today with automobiles. Some people only buy for features and let it go after a couple years, but many others also consider longevity and repair and parts costs.

Well, not really. BTC was sort of usable as a currency to a point. You could even buy games on Steam with it.

But it had a 1MB block size limit, which was initially implemented to prevent spam. This was obstinately kept in place, and that quickly destroyed its usefulness as a currency -- since now there's a lot of contention, transacting is slow and expensive. This doesn't bother the people who want an asset to buy once, but makes it useless as a currency.
This isn't true anymore. We switched to allowing and supporting permanent remote work (writing this from Seattle).
