Do you think China and Russia are going to stop working on these technologies just because the west buries its head in the sand? Technical innovation is a race and unfortunately such technologies that gets us closer to artificial cells that have a huge weaponizing potential will be worked on by someone at some corner in the world. So it's better to be done first by people who believe in rule of law and individual rights.
Worse for the corpus of english text I tried on it; it doesn't seem to recognize punctuation at all, and it's marginally worse at I/1/l on sans-serif text (which, to be fair, trips up humans too).

Those were the only two relative deficiencies I noticed.

It does seem to beat tesseract on samples with mixed dark-on-light and light-on-dark text, but that was the only big win I saw in my brief look at it.

Exactly. "The tragedy of the commons" is a well-known terms that means, "given the keys to the henhouse, the foxes are not able to police themselves well enough to keep themselves from starving" - and this doesn't even begin to consider the interests of hens.

> this means 34% of vaccinated people develop a covid infection

That's not what "effective" means. It means that if your probability of getting infected without the vaccine is p, your probability of getting infected with the vaccine is .34*p. One way to think about it is that the "ineffectiveness" is the relative risk P[infected|vaccinated]/P[infected|unvaccinated], and effectiveness is 1-ineffectiveness.

A vaccine can be 100% effective even if P[infected] is negligible.

P[infected] is per unit time and does not account for the dynamics of the situation. For example, if the vaccine is not powerful enough to make R<1, then everybody becomes infected eventually regardless of the vaccine.
Well… you can on a lot of things. We never did .toString() on a whole lot. However, I was big on .displayName (as an override on .name which is found on functions)

My memory is fuzzy, but I also had a different function I would call if frameworks added it so instead of “Object {}” it was “Backbone.Model {id=1}”.

I put these in and used them in firebug extensions I wrote for frameworks.

Later I asked chrome to add something, which is why there is a “enable custom formatters” option for the console. Really needs to work in the debugger though.

>Some wealthy Black families still live in U.S. neighborhoods with relatively low incomes and high rates of unemployment, suggesting other factors such as housing discrimination are at play, according to a Federal Reserve study.

I'm confused...this simply states that "there must be some other factor like housing discrimination" without actually showing it. There have been many studies that show large cities are getting less diverse neighborhoods as people prefer to live in areas where they are more represented (Blacks live in majority black neighborhoods, Chinese live in majority chinese neighborhoods, etc). With the large gap in much fewer wealthy black families to poor black families that would mean on average they live in poorer areas. This "study" doesn't really show anything.

There's an obvious way that Amazon would workaround this law. They can drop their base wage for all employees to the minimum wage. And offer performance-based bonuses that bring the average wage back to what it is today. I don't see how the law would handle this. I can't think of any reasonable way to outlaw "we'll pay you more for doing more work" policies. Even if it leads to the exact same outcome - most workers will do exactly what they are doing now, because everyone wants to get paid more.

There is another obvious solution here. Increase budgets for Earned-Income-Tax-Credits or initiate a Universal Basic Income. This would increase the baseline standard-of-living for all workers, so that they would have better alternatives to what Amazon is offering. Of course, this would also mean that the average taxpayer would need to accept his obligations to his fellow citizen, and shoulder the cost of doing so. Not nearly as popular as outsourcing this responsibility to private companies.
Usually such poor community engagement correlats to lack of acceptance or slow fixing timings. The best recourse is to disclose publicly after set number of days (90).

I have been studying programming since my early childhood years, because apparently I had decent logic skills and parents in the city would sign up kids for this private math and programming evening school.

Later though I originally picked to pursue an aerospace engineering degree and was working as a live dealer at a live casino company while studying, but the same company also had a large engineering department, and it was very tempting. So I went back to my roots, started out as a manual tester to get the foot in the door, and later slowly transitioned to automation QA and then to a backend developer. Now I switched universities and am doing a Bachelor's in Computer Science, mostly for fun and to fill in any knowledge gaps.

Really the new company didn't care about a degree, and I honestly learned way more from independent study and my work than I did at university so far. Blogs, conference talks and books are really what helped me a ton. While the new job is quite difficult, my colleagues are great, and we take very relaxing breaks and do lots of activities outside of work. Knowing that my work impacts millions of people around the world is quite inspiring.

It seems like we're moving out of the 1900s world where manufactured objects carried inherent value on their own and people paid high prices to retain control of the valuable object. People even passed furniture, dishes, books, and clothes down from generation to generation because they were so valuable but now you can't even give this stuff away most of the time. TVs don't get stolen much anymore because they're worth so little. Physical things are getting cheaper to a ridiculous extent and are being merged with services. That world of industrialized materialism might have been an aberration historically.

"I mean that if you created a new bank, and never accepted any customer deposits, you are going to run into problems if you simply offer a bunch of loans."

'Deposit-taking institution' is pretty much the original definition of a bank (see 'Banking Act 1979'). But, putting that aside...

"If your loan customer wants cash, or wants to move some of that loaned money into another institution... whatcha gonna do?"

The same thing you do every night: borrow money overnight in the interbank market. If this becomes a regular thing, liquidate some assets.

"Your nonbank credit card company would run into similar problems if they didn't have any income and simply were letting people buy products with magic printed money"

When a nonbank lender grants a loan, it cannot create money in the same way that a bank can. It can't disburse the loan without having the money on hand already. By 'on hand', I mean 'in an account at a bank'. The source of that money could be:

- (equity) investors

- interest earned from other loans

- wholesale funding (money borrowed from other lenders)

- proceeds from selling loans to other parties (directly or via securitization)

I think quotas are fine, as long as they aren't unreasonable to the point that workers need to forego bathroom breaks in order to meet them.

I think the problem is that Amazon probably does this completely backwards. Quotas should be based on tracking the output of all your workers and deciding on some percentile to use as a baseline. And this output needs to be tracked when no quotas are in place, so you get an idea of what "normal" work looks like.

Instead, I expect that Amazon essentially says "we want at least X packages to move through here every Y hours, and we want to spend no more than $A on warehouse workers, so that means we'll hire no more than B workers, so they'll just have to work as hard as it takes". That's obviously a recipe for unrealistic expectations and a lot of overwork.

Since you bring up unions, the quotas are almost certainly negotiated by the union, so (hopefully) what's negotiated will be much fairer to the workers. But of course Amazon fights against their warehouse workers unionizing, in no small part due to this.
