Young people have less memory and running “threads” dedicated to adult things. They will not mind branching out to go down a rabbit hole, which will cost time and mental resources.
Property tax increases when you improve the property, and land value tax does not. Therefore, property tax creates a disincentive to improve property, and land value tax creates an incentive to improve property.
> I find it unethical

Why do you think that? I cannot imagine anyone losing one second of sleep over it.

In this case, they can't even argue we're depriving creators of revenue they're owed. The only point of journals is peer review. Experts in the field that filter out the bad articles and publish the good ones. Peer review is the only thing that separates these glorified journals from a random website. Those experts don't see any of this money due to concerns over conflicts of interest. These reviewers could get together and create a blog and it would be better than these journals.

The way I see it, these journals have literally no reason to exist. It's unethical to pay them even a single cent for access to anything. The ethical and moral thing to do is to hasten their demise. It is our duty to society.
> it is an almost acceptable introduction for the layman to the divergence between deterministic, classic AI and in-focus, out of ANN functions AI.

I agree with that. And if all that the article would do there would be nothing wrong with that.

But it goes further and makes sweeping statements about the state of self driving cars in general.

It talks about using machine learning to classify stop signs, and then writes:
"Similar techniques are used to train self-driving cars to operate in traffic."

Which might be true for some systems, but not for others.

If you read this article you would think that present day self-driving cars are just a bunch of machine learning hooked up to a steering wheel. There are systems like that, but many people question their safety. Most other systems follow a hybrid approach, where there are machine learning components surrounded by old fashioned robotics. Leveraging the strong suits of both approaches.
Gonna have to stand up to the tyranny yourselves, mate.
I use Spendee to track expenses. They are using firebase so its quite easy to get your data with a script. I then use the expenses csv file along with other journal files. Expenses are most boring to enter and Spendee solves that nicely.
Yes and no. Yes, your proposal can solve the problem for sure. No, you just can hardly implement it anytime soon.
I'm in Australia and Labor lost last election just because they were swearing to remove so called NG(Negative-Gearing, which allows the property investors to offset their income with losses from investment property) before the ballot day, despite NG itself is actually a bizarre idea: why would tax payers cover the asses of the property investors and what's more, in fair amount of NG claims, the so claimed losses were not actually rendered but rather losses in accounting term. If you opt to a different accounting method, they were actually making a profit.

So your proposal will for sure hurt those vested interests, and I would expect it be very hard to pass the parliament. It's great to see Dutch cities actually made that far, I'll keep my eyes wide open to see what's next for them.
Does same applies for maps of New York City in general? That is those showing larger area than just Manhattan?

Manhattan is good example of hyper-local map. Even if area is relatively big. As the city planning leads to such format. That is mostly straight roads going in two directions, where cardinal direction isn't so important for navigation.
could you pls elaborate on that?
I remember watching James Bond movies as a kid. There was always this scene where Q gave 007 a handful of cool gadgets, and would you know it, by the end of the movie he had used them all! I always thought "WTF man, he literally gave him exactly what he needed for the movie, not a single one that went unused! What were the odds!?"
I've often wondered, with enough knowledge to actually know, what would happen if renting housing was made illegal. I imagine prices would drop precipitously, maybe to a point where everyone can buy?

Great fanatasy (world-building) literature enhances Chekhov's Gun. In Tolkien's stories everything has meaning and is used somewhere and somewhen else. But not necessarily in the same story.

In The Lord of the Rings there are hundreds of "guns" hanging at the wall, which are not directly involved in this three books' story. But the reader feels that they are not only decorations. And the reader could do some research on Tolkien's work to find out about their story and importance for the characters' backgrounds. That makes the magic I believe.
PDF parsing and rendering has been sandboxed for over a decade: https://chrome.googleblog.com/2010/11/pdf-goodness-in-chrome...

The idea of depending on your government to protect you from exploits is insane. Anyone in the world can upload a shady PDF to a website hosted in any country and suffer zero consequences.
I just wrote a paper which got published on Elsevier and my university has to pay 2900€ now, because I clicked „open access“
Easier to track subjects? Simple GMO testing.
Yeah, but IMHO, while it makes sense to have configurable formatting for terminal output, it doesn't make sense to apply that formatting to output meant for SQL.
So the taxpayer - i.e., you (and 82 million other people) - is paying... and your salary was probably already paid by the government if you are working at a university?

I can imagine better ways to spend the money than buying open access right from publishers - though the current German government certainly has found even worse ways to waste money...
In contrast to the property tax, the land value tax only taxes the value of the land, not the value of the buildings. A land value tax is always the same regardless of whether the land is undeveloped, a single-family house or an apartment building. A property tax, on the other hand, encourages the former and discourages the latter. A property tax encourages urban sprawl, a land value tax does not.
Good. I went to Prague recently (after 10 years) to discover that the entire city centre with all of it's businesses is now owned by chinese people. A 500ml water costs 10 euros and everything seems different, designed to just milk the cash from tourists. Had a much better experience 10+ years ago and made quite a few local friends.
can you elaborate the autonomy part as in no deadline,no management?
There is a small minority of people out there who legitimately can't get the vaccine for medical reasons. Writing them off as collateral damage isn't acceptable public policy.

Take comfort in the fact that the maliciously ignorant already punish themselves in a thousand little ways every day. However, no amount of comeuppance will cause those people to recognize their own actions as the source of their problems.
No, you're not. It's a plain link. (I have uBlockO active.)
Everything is a feelings problem.

This is a exaggeration of course, but I've been struck by just how many sticky problems have an emotional component.

I have a tendency to ignore emotions in favor of (what seems to me like) the main content, but I limit myself when I do this.

Enthusiasm, despair, excitement, fear - these are too powerful to ignore. But naming them and uncovering the deeper values they reveal helps me make better decisions.

For example, I value minimalism and getting rid of junk but routinely put off doing any decluttering.

I realized that what I call "decluttering" is really better termed "making difficult decisions about my identity."

To get rid of <hobby supplies> that I never use involves confronting the fact that I'm not a <hobby> person. It's painful to realize that I'm not who I wish I was.

Getting rid of something I spent a lot of money on reveals that I wasted the money. I'm not as wise and frugal as I wish I was.

I put off minimalism because I don't have to feel those bad feelings if I don't force myself to evaluate and make the decisions.

And this scenario plays out in a lot of different areas of my life.

I don't take action toward a goal because I don't want to get excited and then fail and have to face the disappointment. Easier to coast along content with the status quo.
> the c10l principle

Don't do this. It is bad enough that every major devops/infra component needs to create some <letter><number_of_missing_letters><letter> tag, but dropping it in to random places is worse than the regular backronyms and cute project names science and tech people use to try to hide complexity. It just adds confusion for no rhyme or reason other than trying to sound like you are a part of some club of insiders.
Or, and in my mind more plausibly, this is your typical democrat trying to cancel and persuade others to align to their point of view. How much social flack do you think people get for not being on FB? This entire thing is an effort in persuasion, and if that fails, exile.
One use I have for borax is making cheap slime to remove dust on tough to clean parts. OLd PCBs with lots of electronics that wont air dust easily, car air vents, etc.

Most common mix is
- Dissolve 1 teaspoon of borax in 1/4 cup (2 oz) warm water.
- in a separate bowl, Mix 1/2 cup (4 oz) kids glue with 1/4 cup of warm water.
- once everything is mixed properly, you can also add food color, glitters and whatnot. I stick to white so I can see the crap I capture and when its saturated properly.
- Mix the content of the 2 together a lot

The resulting slime can be used later when sealed properly.

Don’t skip the water-glue mix, it helps with the end result.

You can capture a LOT of dust without creating airborn particles, or have something fun for the kids to play with.
This is such a bad take. Holy shit.
But, like the parent said, the scientists aren't assuming nothing, they're assuming the natural world is dumb.

Edit: I'm not sure why this is so controversial. The essence is: every experiment starts with an assumption.
The Bluetooth classic, the variant which is typically used for audio and handsfree use cases, does not support address randomization. However, Bluetooth classic device does not necessarily need to be in discoverable mode for paired device to be able to connect. Typically they are discoverable only when they are set to some kind of pairing mode.

Bluetooth LE, which is used for wearables like smart watches etc, supports address randomization and it has mechanism for finding paired devices even though the address changes. Bluetooth LE devices must advertise for other devices to be able to connect. Many headsets nowadays use classic Bluetooth for audio streaming and handsfree but in addition they use Bluetooth LE for configuring the headset through their app. That is why the headsets are often advertising all the time.

As a side note, contact tracing apps are making our phones also to advertise. Fortunately they are using address randomization properly to ensure phones can't be tracked.
Wow you've got a lot going on. Do you have any stats on usage you feel like sharing? I'm curious how people have discovered this and how it has grown since this seems outside any circles I am around except HN.
Eviction is already possible after 3 months of not paying rents (and sometimes after 2 months if there's a history of non-payment). The landlord has to get a court order, which is commonly granted.

Minors will be placed in foster care if they cannot be placed elsewhere.

Taxes on earnings depend on how you structure your work. They are usually in "box 3" where taxes are based on fictitious returns on investment as a percentage of total wealth and (fictitious) asset class.

That said, law-makers are a significant source of uncertainty and risk.
It doesn't seem counter-intuitive to me that understanding improves with time. Quite the opposite. It's odd that you think that. Why wouldn't our understanding deepen with time to reflect, more information, and with the unfolding of events in history to reveal mysteries?
I see your point, but I think this distinction is incidental.

Technologies are fundamentally devoid of ethics, as are laws of nature. A technology only works well for "good guys" if it works equally well for "bad guys".

The intent of development does initially play a role, but anything deep enough will eventually find both bad and good uses, no matter how we see the initial intent.

(But for a specific application, the intent, of course, plays a major role.)
You think those small business owners are packing away substantial profits they could use to pay staff significantly more?
A collegue put some data into a JSON columns and I absolutely loathed it. Can’t query it well and he neither did type it in the models in the code.

However later I found that there two kinds of JSON: one “bad” that we hd to patch up with lots of validation to some spec that emerged, but another one that was absolutely right to be free form, because it was never accessed by us. The user simply inputs it freely, and reads it out somewhere else, with freedom to evolve it as desired.

> The hard part is to remember every little transaction I had until I have vim at my hand.

Most of the time, there's no need to remember. Just put the receipt in your pocket, and when you get home you can further postpone it by stacking it with other receipts on a receipt spike. It's only the cash transactions that are best not left postponed for longer than a day or 2, but if you just scribble down the important bits on a scrap of paper, you can postpone it like any other receipt.
Etymology is almost always speculative but phonetic loans have to be considered separately from typographic history.

There are at least 2 different chinese characters for iron, and the one in common use, the one you mention, has a different old chinese pronunciation (from the turko-mongolic word). The radical for the popular version clues one in to the original non barbarian pronunciation. (Maybe it referred to something else.) The radical for the other one means “barbarian”

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/銕#Chinese

It is not uncommon for chinese characters to be written the same but pronounced differently (and meaning something else) throughout the ages. And for the meaning and pronunciations of different characters to mix or merge

Indeed according to historian David Wagner,
“ The evidence presented thus far suggests that iron-smelting techniques developed in the West had by the eighth century BC been brought by nomadic peoples of Central Asia all the way to the Pacific coast, and that these techniques diffused to the smiths of the Chinese states by way of various non-Chinese peoples of the northwest, in what is now Xinjiang. ”

It's probably a mix of a lot of effects, but if memory serves me right, in management science its a bit of a non-result that local maxima in decision making/search space is a real thing, so TRULY diversifying a group of people looking at a problem can kinda bump you out of that. This explains why sometimes a complete novice can meaningfully contribute in ways like this -- you haven't been taught/trained/inculcated that "this will never work," and are also probably more willing because of it to try outlandish/left-field things that maybe an established person may not.

One interesting thing to think about in the context of this is the way we approve budgets for basic research, which often is hostile to this very sort of contribution. If you are applying from grants from NIH, for instance, the surest way to succeed is to do things or make it look like things that are the sorts of things that NIH funds to begin with, which is a bit of a paradox if the whole reason you are funding this stuff in the first place is to try to nudge along some breakthrough in a traditionally intractable domain where many people have taken a stab at it.

Noooo, buses are awful. Why would you want to travel even slower in even more cramped space? 8 hours on a bus when it could have been 2 hours on a train with a restaurant?

Train carriages are wider, taller, and can be much much longer, so you can have plenty of space. It's like a business class flight, but for economy price and arriving in the city center.

Even "slow" trains can travel at speeds exceeding highway speed limits.

In many European countries rail networks are better built than highway networks, so you can take a train from some Shitshire village to a nice beach.

OP. Of course if there's trusted parties along the way it's safe enough. But it is not durable to that trust being broken. e.g. if the user has learned to do this, and ends up through typo squatting on a malevolent fork of their code.

If it's okay on GH, we train the user to think it's okay on less secure sites.

But that's not what happened, is it? The algorithm hasn't miscategorised men, it has miscategorised Black men. I'd argue the AI has done its job, with a high degree of accuracy. It found what the programmers were looking for when they wrote the code. It was meant to be an insult, and was highly effective. Lack of outrage on HN is as expected; the authors are quite possibly in the comments holding their sides with laughter.

Yes, but just look at France. Before it had many regional patois, but after the revolution they were suppressed in favour of French.
Really? Isn't the etiquette in something like an NYC Taxi to sit in the back? At least that's how it's been in literally every piece of media set in New York.
"Chronicle of a Death Foretold", by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, for people unfamiliar. It’s a very good short book.
Our papers (US NIH funded) are required to be free and publicly available.

Of course publishers have wised up to this and now charge us money to publish. But at least anyone who finds the papers on pubmed can read them.

Pubmed also tags and indexes the articles so searching is easier.

Also, this makes stories different from real-life. The famous quote "a reader lives a thousand lives" is thus not true.
That's the explanation I had from a local back in 2003. He said their whole interest part of the mortgage was eligible for tax rebate.
It is unusual for an executable to install itself, and good Makefile practices has a separate install stage than a build stage.

No doubt, these conventions can be and are ignored, but they are good conventions.
There's a lot of information, data, and software out there that is available to download for free. Yes there are hosting costs, but there are also people and organizations that are willing to pay them because they believe that it's worth it.

I'm absolutely convinced that if copyrights weren't an issue, there would be enough governments, foundations, universities, corporations, and individuals willing to pay the costs of making scientific publications available to everyone. It wouldn't have to be a paid service.
Do you have any examples where building more would have resulted in stabilizing or lowering housing prices? This is the classical suggestion but doesn't seem like there would be any supporting evidence of it actually working in practice.

Of course I want cities to build more. But I don't imagine it will ever actually lower the housing costs.
Ah, I see what you’re saying. That’s an interesting way to look at it. Thanks!
Feeling somewhat same, consuming some libraries and placing the code at right place, not that its bad but not really doing problem solving apart from writing conventional business logic in code

Well, you're assuming that the manufacturers would get involved with specific disassemblies, the realistic process would be that the current process of mass recycling random home appliances (which is mandatory at least where I live) when these appliances are ripped open to recycle e.g. metals would also include desoldering the electronic parts, sorting and testing them and putting them back into circulation. We don't do that, probably because it's far too expensive because disassembly is less automated than assembly, but a genuine shortage of core components (the set of which would not/should not change over 10-20 years) could be helped this way.

A big assumption that I'm making is that you would be extract the exact same components from many different devices, so you can build a washing machine with a component supply that's part new components and part 'reused' from all kinds of older washing machines, fridges or cars or smart toasters or whatever. This IMHO is true for generic electronic components (which are quite cheap but still add up in volume) but might not hold for chips - however, my initial argument probably was that if "chips-for-not-so-powerful-appliances" currently are structured to not be interchangeable, then perhaps they should be.
This reminds me of anti-memhack techniques in game dev. If you store the players money or health in a variable, there are tools to help you find it in memory. These tools work by scanning the memory for the value you give it, changing the value in game (take damage, earn money, etc) and scanning the first scan's results for the new value.

To defeat this you just need to XOR the value with some bits. It doesn't stop a dedicated person at all, but 99% of cheaters are deterred. So it's good enough.
The intervention is late, yet much needed. It's time to create some rules for the greedy bankers too, they have been inflating the housing bubble with massive amounts cheap debt for far too long. Can't find a decent property for under €500K on the Dutch market. And bear in mind not everyone has Tech salaries; you have teachers, nurses, drivers, etc. on ~ €20K - €25K per annum before taxes. They would be homeless without social housing or homes passed on through generations.

Dutch properties listed for €350K-€400k are sold for +€50K to +€100K OVER the asking price. To complete the property sale prepare to put another €15K-€20K on the table for various fees, taxes and middlemen. Unless you are a millionaire or be willing to go deep into debt for 30 years and obliterate most of your savings, sadly you have no chance at purchasing a home in the Netherlands.

A home is a basic human utility (shelter), not a pump and dump investment scheme. Making standard homes so expensive that most people cannot afford is completely wrong and goes against society. Property investors have many other options such as investing in new property development, hotels for students, the stock market, new businesses, Bitcoin, etc. Heck, it's time to diversify.
Going only by the headline, I don't know why this would be a surprise to anyone who has lived with dogs or cats.

I have hurt some of our four-legged family members - kicking them because I didn't see them, or stepping on their tail - and the very first thing they always want to know is if I did it on purpose or by accident.

I wonder why this would even be the subject of research? And if it were, how could you possibly conduct an ethical experiment around it?
