Under that definition, almost all rental residences in the US are investment property, and thus would be banned under the proposal.

Consider a friend of mine who owns two houses. If he lives in one, the other will be "investment property" if he rents it a significant fraction of the year and thus banned. He can't move back and forth to avoid that because there are only 12 months in the year and it takes at least 8 months (per house) to satisfy the "twice as often" requirement.

The only way out is for him to leave the second house vacant the vast majority of the year. That pretty much defeats the purpose of owning a rental and it means that someone who'd want to rent is out of luck.
"Defensive Driving" seemed like a vague name even though I use it in speech myself, so I looked it up:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defensive_driving

> defines defensive driving skills as "driving to save lives, time, and money, in spite of the conditions around you and the actions of others."

Looking at a few sources it seems to describe anticipating other vehicles, as well as the environment, and adapting to them.

I'm sure most drivers would say they do that, just like most drivers think they're better than average.

From my personal experience riding a fixed-gear bicycle around London definitely did improve my driving. There's a nice amount of fear in not being able to stop on a dime when a pedestrian randomly walks out in front of you or a taxi swings a left at the last moment and the only way to avoid it is see it before it happens.

That really is the essence of TFA... anticipation and seeing it before it happens is better than the fastest processor reacting and seeing it as soon as it happens.

Anticipation provides the advantage of avoiding the situation in the first place... typically by shedding speed before the event occurs.

There's nothing inherent in computer vision vs LIDAR that precludes computer vision from building a scenario and anticipating though. So TFA feels a little flawed in damning Tesla (and I am not a Tesla fan boi).

I think Charles Murray's position is misrepresented here. At least in his latest book (Facing reality), he doesn't talk about genetics (of which he is not a specialist), but about inheritable characteristics. His point is that you don't know where the cursor is between genes and early education/environment, but since you can't take children away from their parents at birth, the distinction doesn't really matter from a public policy point of view.

He doesn't say that genes (or early environment) is the only thing that matters either, and points at evolution in the IQ distribution over time, and takes the argument that if you were to put an "asian tigger mum" behind each children, you would most likely get an impact on scores.

For those interested, his debate with Coleman Hughes is interesting [1]. Coleman makes an good objection. He says that these studies on variations in IQ distributions may or may not be correct, but that we shouldn't publicise them because most people are incapable of thinking in term of distributions, and will treat an individual differently based on one of the metrics (mean, percentile, standard deviation) of whichever way you cut the population. I am conflicted on that. On one side I oppose the idea that you shouldn't look at the facts because the facts could be misused (the "chemistry is bad because Zyklon B" argument). On the other hand I have seen enough educated and smart enough people incapable of thinking in term of distribution to acknowledge that Coleman has a point.

Yes, I never saw any Apple in Europe either (specifically UK). On the educational side BBC was king in the UK, so parents who were teachers would prefer the BBC, which had a great version of Elite too and a lot of the text adventures, but not so many action games.

From my memory of getting a Vic 20 then a ZX Spectrum +3 there was a pretty even split of Commodore and Spectrum machines among my friends. There were LOTS of other machines too, Atari, Oric, Amstrad, Tandy (Radio Shack) in the early days.

Although I had a mouse and a drawing program for the Spectrum the computers for creatives in the UK didn't really take off until the Amiga and Atari ST with their awesome sound and graphics packages.
I'm confused how you seem concerned about the embarrassment to the perpetrators of a fraud you have been victim of. The effect is inevitably damaging to consumer confidence in general by not identifying the criminal company and creating additional unfounded caution wherever else, so your protection is not a free gesture at all.
> if notation was genuinely confusing, why would mathematicians make themselves suffer needlessly?

Because they are unable to change it. Just like with any thing evolved over a long time, like music notation, languages, even, to some extent, programming languages. Every change brings a lot of pushback, it's a monumental task to create a new one and even more so is getting any traction with it.
Interesting! Thanks! It still doesn't sound like the kind of thing that would require load balancing, but maybe it was easier to write it in Python or PHP or something, and that made it so heavy that it did.

Heck no. As per the Berne Convention they are 100% illegal even in the western world and can only survive due to the neglect or lack of legal resources---I have seen multiple cases where artists were well aware of scanlations but couldn't fight against them because of that. A legal way to do scanlation would be always welcomed (and there have been varying degree of successes in other areas), but it is just wrong to claim that they are somehow legitimate at all.
Thanks

Do you manage to get as many buzz-words and OSS products into your system as they do? :)

In general the less moving parts you have in a system the more reliable, secure, efficient and cheaper the system becomes.

In their case they run a site that is probably under constant attack by the "hired goons", so they're going to need to have more moving parts than others. Plus they will want to optimise for minimal development time (it's a hobby) so just adding another tried and trusted system into the stack to do something you need makes sense.
If you take someone with an IQ of 100 and train them for a decade I think it's still very unlikely that they would become an elite chess player/musician/etc.

I see intelligence mostly as your rate of learning. That means you're competing with people who will get better faster than you. The only way to beat that is to outwork them, but there are only so many hours in the day.
Yes, most people think autopilot flies the plane.
well this "woke jane" could still study and after a while learn a trade if education were affordable.

there is nothing wrong with having an educated working class. nothing should restrict you from being a plumber with an history degree.
> For instance, what other fields use single greek characters to label concepts in a seemingly unpredictable arrangement?

This is a perfect example of what I was talking about. Greek letters are typically used in opposition to Latin ones in order to distinguish what programmers can think of as “type” of concepts. For example, when doing geometry, you might want to designate angles with Greek letters, and points or line segments with Latin ones. This makes it much easier to mentally keep track of what name correspond to which object.

Yes, learning Greek letters for the first time is some amount of initial overhead (not much, as typically used ones are similar to Latin anyway, nobody starts with psi or xi). However, crucially, this overhead is paid once, and pales compared to the difficulty of learning the concepts being represented in the first place. It is never the case that replacing Greek letters with Latin makes students go “oh thank you, now I understand everything!”, instead, things are typically just as hard as before. However, replacing Latin with Greek might actually do that, by reducing the mental overhead through introduction of categories (types) of objects.
You've offered some evidence as to why you believe some individuals are incapable of learning algebra, but you haven't offered an explanation as to why what you observed is necessarily the result of genetics, there could be dozens of additional factors at play here which are not being considered.
He has a point.

I've thought about this for awhile.

In order to be a safe driver you need to break the law sometimes.

You program it into a vehicle, and their is an accident, the lawyers will have a happy day.

recently facing the dilemma of choosing between k8s vs something more basic.

Features that seemed to be advocating for k8s were not server provisionning, but instead :

log management, easy setup of blue/green & canary deployment, not having to restart a vm upon new code deployment, etc...

How would you do those things as easily with other techs ?

Don't need a movie for that, the economics and the dynamic Chinese market is what will slowly but surely suck up Asia's talent.

Your calculations are probably correct, but the whole cryptocurrency fad strikes me as completely ridiculous.

It’s like a farm burning some of their crops to generate a bit of hot air for wind power. Like, you can do it and it gives you that small amount of power but you’re literally destroying the resource and probably cause a lot of waste in the system as a whole.
The internet has not negated every advantage of regions, unfortunately (Employers are still making folks come to the office) and it still costs money to move elsewhere.

Folks in Ohio still have trouble leaving Ohio.

And you can, to an extent, buy a nuclear family. Mail order brides still exist (and the arrangement can be beneficial for both parties). You can do this with the expectation of children, which you will pay for in the US. Alternatively, you can check adoption as plenty of agencies will make you feel like you are buying a child. (20k upwards, plus travel).
I do have poor working memory and I did struggle with algebra, especially with copying wrong sign from row to row and things like that.

But I did make paper sort of my working memory and when doing algebra I felt that I was just the very resource limited CPU that executed the instructions from paper-memory.

Algebra always made me feel like I was doing some mindfull exercise where I had to empty my mind, follow the paper script and hope I didn't mess anything while switching from row to row of calculations.

Even today, as a programmer, I struggle to remember class or function names, I just empty my mind and am really good at searching stuff in code.
Good point. We should be careful in other fields as well.

I came at it from another direction here — there are people who are like: "Look at the replication crisis in psychology — this is proof science cannot be trusted in general". So what I meant to argue here is that this conclusion cannot be drawn automatically, not that we shouldn't scrutinize other fields (we should!)
By current state of the world, I mean that any research into this topic can't control for all the possible variables. That's why we'd have to take it with such a large grain of salt.

Good try at the "gotcha" though ;D
Just call their service often enough, and tell them internet isnt working.
We can argue about the exact economic significance—my interpretationof the facts you listed is much less severe—but whatever the cost, the CCP seems willing to pay it gladly. If that means running the economy into the ground as the alarmists warn will inevitably happen, then they're still powering on ahead undeterred. The takeaway for critics of China must inevitably be, then, that whatever the cost is it's not high enough to force the CCP to change course.
Okay so whom are they paying?
> Any viable large-scale retirement system is going to be a Ponzi scheme, because the "old investors" (retirees) are going to be dead soon and the only way to support them is to recruit "new investors" (working-age people). Tontines, life insurance, bank deposits, the stock market, 401(k)s, pensions, cryptocurrency, whatever - when you unravel them deep enough, they're a Ponzi scheme. This applies to even safe, conventional investments like a bank savings deposit: what's really happening there is that you amass a large credit over your lifetime, and then when you need extra care and support and can't work for it anymore, you transfer that credit over to a working-age nurse/etc so that they can build the same sort of credit for their old age.

Not necessarily. One could imagine an individual storing and preserving enough food for their retirement during their working life, and then eating through that stock in their retirement - or, at a slightly more sophisticated level, a group of people buying a farm and setting aside enough gold to pay labourers to work it for them - or, at a more sophisticated level than that, owning enough valuable stuff through investments to be reasonably assured of a decent retirement. The claim that social security is Ponzi-like is the argument that there is no (or insufficient) pile of valuable stuff matching the liabilities already incurred.

Stock options and other scalable forms of compensation are a huge deal for our organization now.

The funny thing is we also don't give a shit about credentials anymore. We just want work ethic followed loosely by experience.

Willingness to endure difficult things and learn is all we are really going for in a new hire these days.

What is amazing to me is all of the business leaders who still insist on upholding these arbitrary gatekeepers. You are leaving a ton of talent on the table.

I think the answer for many is to focus harder on the business value equation and to just let the people be free. Running a business like a power fantasy is not going to get you there. The more you try to control people the harder it will be to make money with them in the long term.
> If you look at the top 10 distance runners, they're all from Ethiopia and Kenya. But as you look further down the list into the top 100, you start to see Americans and others. Furthermore, the Americans' times are really close to the Ethiopians and Kenyans

The Americans still almost certainly have very favourable genetics for distance running, they're just less favourable than the genetics of the Kenyan runners.

If you compared the American runners in the top 100 against the average American I would be very surprised if they had similar physical attributes (Lung capacity, muscle fibers, etc).
> AFAIK Intel 10nm approximately equals TSMC 7nm.

I don't think so, TSMC 7nm is ahead in many ways. For example, Intel 10nm power efficiency is much worse.

Intel 10nm is maybe more comparable with Samsung 8nm.
>I have to remind them in every meeting.[...]But this was normal behavior. I was the odd person who thought this was unacceptable.

For perspective, this is typical LargeCorp behavior, especially at a company like Intel which makes 77 billion/year in revenues (700k/employee) at a 25% net income margin! The unwritten rule is that managers aren't incentivized to police this behavior. It's liberating to recognize this and modify one's approach.

> Oh, and coming to meetings unprepared is the norm. No one will read your emails briefing them about the meeting ahead of time.
>A senior person once told me "You explained things too well[...] If they have trouble understanding it, they'll be in awe."

Wise words. In cultures that do this, you have to adapt and work more on narrative/story-telling. In many ways, this is how things actually work no matter how efficient you think you're making the team. Instead, write the same emails, but only to gather your thoughts. Then, lead the discussion. In large teams, it feels like this approach reminds me to avoid doing someone else's work.
This is an important subject but it's also toxic, particularly with political headlines like this which I don't think should be on Hacker news. Better to focus on the science.
That's true for "Linux", but "Linux" on its own is not a desktop OS. If you target KDE then Qt is the ubiquitous standard with decent performance and a predictable look, same goes for GNOME with GTK. Both of them I would say are less "bloated" than win32 or cocoa at this point. And I don't have any comment on whether it's "ugly" or not :)
That can be done with Thunderbird/Enigmail and with GPGTool in mail.app. If the key is on a public server, then decryption can be done by anyone. The point is that Proton is categorically not E2EE sending to 3rd parties. It can’t be because email doesn’t work like that. PGP is a bandaid. If you want to send email securely, don’t use email!
I can understand this. I think my parents never questioned the usefulness of a formal education. But I am starting to.

My brother tried several different educational paths, pushed by my parents. In the end he got a sort of burnout. After years now he is picking up some work, mainly helping elderly still living alone on any tasks (from computer related to doing groceries). He seems happy, finally.

My other brother hated all his schools, got bullied a lot, he specialized in agriculture in the end. Now he's a truck driver (with one of those super big ones), he likes it. He can still give nice advice on what to plant in my garden, so there's that.

I see that my son is also really interested in many things, but school is not so much "his thing". Sitting still, listening, it's not making him happy. If he has any aspiration of building a life without formal schooling I'd support it. There is so much to learn online. He can be an entrepreneur and we can help him get there. In fact, I'd enjoy it.

Who knows with the insane cost of education, this generation of men may end up self-taught, happy and (in the US important) debt free. Maybe we should worry about the people missing out on this opportunity?

> i.e. if their life depended on it, they had all the resources they could want, they had no other distractions.

You just gave the definition of "cannot". Those circumstances will never happen, they're pure hypotheticals. Sure, hypothetically I might be able to play competitive tennis against Nadal. Practically, though, that'll never happen, I cannot and will never be able to do that - pretending otherwise is just naive and purely theoretical discussion.
Sure, that's a good point generally but doesn't seem at all the problem the article is addressing. Skimming it, it's about progressives denying group differences at all and calling those who research them 'equivalent to Holocaust Deniers'.

From following genetics research and researchers, I've seen plenty of that, and I don't see the relevance of your point here.

The counterpoint is Freestyle libre sensor. It measures glucose levels not in the blood but intercellular liquid and while not as precise as blood test, it is working.

Even if blood in capillaries is different, the measurements can still be meaningful if those differences are systematic and can be accounted for. We just need better science and technology to make use of it.
It's amazing just how many products are on that list. I wonder how many man-hours of development that represents.
my personal view of the accommodation and compromises made for retail consumer behaviour is that there's a incalculable sociological cost created by pandering to impulse satisfaction creeping into noticeably diminished personal and collective self control and behaviour in the current generation of young adults. /old man grump
the question I have is why shouldn't we believe that works in these areas might not be used as justification for deterninal policies a la eugenics?

ignoring the science isn't great, but using the science as a basis for creating policy is still a very scary idea
