Right, that's why it's necessary to do it yourself if you want your opinion to be heard.

Honestly, you basically can do that at this point with the info on the internet. You might not get the credential itself, but you absolutely can get all the knowledge and then some with things like Khan Academy, MIT OpenCourseware, etc.
E2EE would absolutely 100% prevent this.
This news report is lacking some important details like whether autopilot caused the car to go outside the lane when it hit or if the police car was in the lane why the driver didn’t react.
Very interesting and you’re right that this is almost uniquely and most easily expressible in C, but if that makes C ‘weird’ I don’t understand what the point of the article is anymore.

By that definition all languages are ‘weird’ including Java and have uniquely expressible koans within them.

Maybe it boils down to ‘use the right tool for the job’, ie, the tool that lends itself best to the job at hand.
Is there any proof that the solution must have an iterative approach?

For instance, say there was some extremely clever way of depicting the relationships that allowed a "single pass" computation in a way that abstractly solves it that can be reduced to the valid combinations without ever having to "guess" or backtrack or do some variation of a permutation map wherein you reduce a set of candidate solutions.

This novel method would solve it like say, one does with the process of algebra. Of course this would be in some rules and abstractions perhaps invented and defined solely for this problem - perhaps discarding all of arithmetic in the process.

I can imagine a proof could exist showing such an approach isn't possible and I realize coming up with such a novel system for this problem is so unlikely the inventor would be put in the league of Gauss and Maxwell, the question is setting that aside, has it been shown to be a futile effort?
The Brady List was supposed to combat this, but like nearly every other attempt at reforming the police, it has utterly failed.

Do you know what would work? Putting cops in prison for perjury.
The first time I heard we will have nuclear fusion in just 10 years was just 10 years ago.
I'm amazed that the FCC wasn't on him in days, or even hours.
from the article:

"Mr. Cordero’s door-knocking produced quick results. He obtained a doorbell security video from the house across the street. The footage was from a bit of a distance, and it was hardly clear what was happening, but it was obvious that Mr. Cordero had not done what he had been accused of."

this is the solution. start using the ubiquitous tech & cameras to pin them down. no more trusting taxpayer-funded bodycams and self-regulations.
Probably way easier to get a search warrant quickly from a judge for disrupting police operations and emergency services that way and let the DA up the charges once the person is actually caught (the article says they weren’t yet arrested). I’m sure the investigation is just beginning.

Are FCC charges considered criminal as well?
The amount owed to the creditors doesn’t change in that scenario. The screw up (assuming the market recognizes it) would destroy value for the equity holders.

Another way to think about total enterprise value is that there are two groups of people who have a claim on the business: the equity holders and the creditors. In order to own the business free and clear, you need to buy both of their claims. The total equity claim is the market cap and the total creditor claim is the outstanding debt.

I think part of the issue with coffee, at least in the US, is that most mainstream coffee is ghastly over-roasted (hence the nickname Charbucks), so you need to add sugar to make it palatable.

I'm big into home espresso, and my morning breakfast drink is a 5-6 oz cappuccino. With a delicious, medium roast coffee and properly steamed milk the drink is more than sweet enough (heating milk to the right temp makes it taste sweeter) with no additional sugar. I contrast that when the rare occasions I get something from Starbucks and I always need to add sugar to mask the burnt taste of the coffee.
Yep, except this is so small, you can look at all combinations.
Something like this would do it (without replacement).

Agree, it still looks stiff and far from the 7 GUI. Would you care to elaborate more on the breakpoints you talk about, or is there any good resource I could take to learn more?

First, it's an old (really old) tactic to leave the enemy "salted goods" (can't remember the correct expression in english, sorry for that).

That said, something happened out of sight of the public, accords of some kind, maybe something changed and the US President took a decision.

Speed was key it seems and the hardware left behind could be a bad thing, but clearly, the politics are sure that it doesn't really matter compared to other scenario (unknown for the public).
Given that running a jammer like this is illegal, and the fact that the FCC has a help page for law enforcement to rope them into jamming cases, I’m sure that won’t last long.

Self-driving aint happening until we get AGI drivers.

Reading these comments trivialising the driving task makes me wonder if such commenters have ever actually driven or if they are just prone to magical thinking.

As of 2021 computers can not reliably and flexibly out reason people about open ended real world problems. Safe driving in the real world requires such reasoning. It is edge cases all the way down. Ergo self driving is not happening anytime soon.

When I see HN commenters say the robocar sees or thinks I wonder if these people are for real.

It would probably be easier to make a robo physician who gives more reliable diagnoses than a human physician than it would be to make a self driving car that out performs humans.
I am one of those people. If even sip something with stevia in it I am going to be trying to get the taste out of mouth for hours. It makes me want to scrap my tongue off. It was truly the worst thing I have ever consumed. It has only happened a couple of times, now I am literally traumatized and check the ingredients on anything that is likely to have it.
For context, I am not a picky eater, there are things I don't like, but this is on a whole other level.

Then it's a matter of luck whether you tried that pattern. I started with the highest prices items and didn't get far. It's mostly a lottery if it depends on people guessing that way.

I would start several approaches like writing a formula, bounding the number of toys (6 to 50?), looking for easy multiples, etc. the declare them all too hard and quit.
No, that is why I wrote "subtle implication" there. Unfortunately on online forums, the term "memory-safety" (which is a well-defined term in computer science), is nowadays almost always used in contexts of Rust evangelism. I would be very surprised if the GP's actual intent was that Zoom must have been written in a garbage collected language and not Rust. The wider context of this discussion at all is that whether memory-unsafe languages (ie., C/C++) must be made illegal with the implicit suggestion that Rust must be pushed as the alternative. If C/C++ is made illegal (because "memory-unsafety"), then guess what would be the legal alternative if you can't afford GC overhead. Moreover, for people not using C/C++, the question of memory-safety/unsafety doesn't even arise in the first place.

Hedonics (which I had mentioned) are an inescapable confound. We can't go back and live in 1990 with 1990s goods.

The cost of an equivalent quality of life (by our best reckoning) is measured in the various CPI. But people expecting more in life (safer products, more computing, etc) isn't exactly "inflation". And if we treat increases in quality of life as an increase of cost of living, we're really measuring something else.
From the linked IMF article:

> Fintech resolves the dilemma by tapping various nonfinancial data: the type of browser and hardware used to access the internet, the history of online searches and purchases. Recent research documents that, once powered by artificial intelligence and machine learning, these alternative data sources are often superior than traditional credit assessment methods, and can advance financial inclusion, by, for example, enabling more credit to informal workers and households and firms in rural areas.

No research is linked, but assuming this kind of statistical data is roughly accurate in the first place for the sake of the argument, feeding that in some black box ML "AI" system is likely to produce a fair amount of inaccurate results, and since it's all a magical system you can't really argue with it; it's just "computer says no". Even employees high up the food chain (if you get that far) won't be able to really help you either, because insight in these systems is hard and deal poorly with exceptional situations (and turns out there are a lot of those, it's just that all of them are different).

Without going in to all the privacy aspects and other problems, it's a good example of the dehumanisation of our society. At the end of the day you just can't beat human judgement and "common sense", but the possibility for this is increasingly taken from us. Sure, humans are not perfect but just because a few mistakes are made doesn't mean taking away the entire human aspect is desirable.
This is a variation on the Knapsack problem. I'm not familiar with the common proofs used, but it is a well studied problem.

A complicated issue, but here is a hypothesis: a shift in culture.

People are not valued anymore, the current generation only seeks "quick money".

Ex: 4HWW, Robinhood, FIRE, crypto, social media, (even startups) etc. promote this mentality and are either responses or symptoms of this shift.

No doubt, but I'd rather save their talents and lives for missions other than cleaning up after the worst single act of US strategic incompetence of the 21st century.

I don't know who's responsible for what, but this wasn't 9/11. It seems like there was plenty of information lying around as to the sorry state of the Afghan military/leadership. The fact that that information failed to make it to the decision makers, or that they chose to ignore it, shows that those in charge did not implement appropriate organizational systems at best and were personally incompetent at worst

100kg of toxic industrial waste + 1kg of radioactive waste.

A lot of it is probably just the fact that most households are dual income. You can probably live the same level of life as in the 1950s, but without trips to Mexico, two cars, twice as much house as before, etc, we wouldn't consider that middle class anymore.

The standard of middle class consumption has soared.

Agreed. This seems especially apparent in light of the "Torvalds / Tannenbaum Debate"[1] that occurred back in the early days of Linux. It's not like Andrew Tannenbaum came out and said "Hey kid you stole my code." No, instead he came out and said "This OS of yours is obsolete and a step back into the 1970's" (paraphrased slightly).

They could raise the requirements to become a cop, and change the structure of organization.

1. Require at least a bachelor's degree in anything.

2. Nix all paramilitary training.

3. Make each cop civilly/criminally legally liable for for their third screw up.

4. Hire only people over 25.

5. Dissuade military personal, including veterans, from thinking they have a job waiting for themselfs after their stint is up. (We do not need miitiary trained soldiers. We need Sociologists, and Psychologists.)

6. Cameras should be on every cop, without a way to turn the devise off. (Any complaints could then be verified by a third party.)

7. Get rid of all out little police squads. A cops would be federally licensed, and trained. Preferably stationed where they are needed. In my county of Marin, most are not needed.

8. And let's be honest. Most Cops are just Revenue Collectors. They are not going to be there to save our lives. To anyone saying, there won't be enough people applying for the job. Come on? There are a lot of people whom would like to become Police Officers. It usually those people, people who just want an honest job, whom are not hired. Get rid of all the cowboys, and hire level headed people. Ban all high speed chases, unless it involves a kidnapping. Require all police to obey every road law we are expected to abide. Make all uniforms Orange, or Pink. At least we could see them comming, and the bright colors might make the right people apply?

9. I'm not going to debate. I'm sick and tired of looking in my rear view mirror, or trying to figure out what hedge they are hiding behind. I'm as white as they come. I can't imagine what minorities have to put up with.
Illegality of drugs results in riskier behaviours (ie. hiding that you're using, using alone) that result in higher chances of overdose. Decriminalization is thought to yield safer use of drugs that will reduce deaths.

There is also a broader issue of stigma. If the illegal stigma around drug use goes away, and addictions are treated more like a medical issue, it is thought that it will be more normalized for drug users to get help instead of shying away.

On the opposite side there is also a stigma around medical professionals helping "addicts" that are breaking the law and many doctors are reluctant to touch these sort of health issues with a 10 foot pole. Decriminalization could help do away with this problem and pave the way to prescription of a safe supply of drugs.

Drug users having a prescribed safe supply of drugs is the ultimate solution to the core problem here of a utterly toxic drug supply.

You do realize that you can order all kinds of things on Alibaba? Or even, just from the internet?

I was importing small PCBs and components from china when I was 15. Most of the time the seller would write "gift" on the package.

If the seller writes "wifi router" on the box, is customs gonna doubt it? Sure, one in every X should be getting checked by whatever department looks out for "dangerous electronics" but it's easier than you think.

If no american is shipping boats of these into ports to sell, I doubt customs even looked at this person's small box with one device in it.

Look up mumia abu jamal. My memory is hazy, but tldr he's a black panther in the 70s in philly and a cop gets shot on the same block while he's there. every bit of evidence is against him being the perp, and the courts even acknowledged the police tampered with evidence (!!!), but he just managed to get a death penalty commuted or some stupid shit like that, to a life sentence about 10 years ago.

So yes, some are good. I had an issue where Rogers decided my modem didn't meet their channel bonding spec and capped me at 75ish Mbps silently even though I was paying for 150 even when I changed to a new modem with more channels. Teksavvy wanted to roll a tech (no matter the arguments and speculation about Rogers being a bad actor) at the height of the pandemic (disadvantages of being a reseller). I ended up having to change to a higher tier then back to prove it was a provisioning issue that Rogers had manually put in by forcing a reprovisioning.

I don't understand why lying by police, prosecutors or misbehavior by judges is not made into a serious crime that gets punished very harshly. These people are entrusted by society with a lot of power, often over death and life, so the standards should be very high.
