If only liberals weren't so damn smug, conservatives would find their way to doing the right thing?

That's not how it works. At all. Progress in every aspect of political life has come from being pushy, not from coddling.
It is sick what people do to our children. This is an egregious example of why it should be very illegal to do any type of surveillance without clear consent from all parties.

Even with the law, it is in my opinion that anyone being surveilled must be informed of this aggressive act.
If it makes you feel better, the US government designed Spikevax.

And there is a lot of coordination, because the vaccines are quite safe and reduce the impact of both individual infections and the pandemic. People look at the options and urge others to get vaccinated!
This is such a sad story. The TL;DR version is that people outside the cities of India seek to improve their standing in life by asserting scientific prowess and lying about their achievements. In the US a similar effect can be seen by people cheating on standardized tests, and faking their "origin story" to get accepted into "good" Universities.

What is sad is that people could be doing the work that their lying implies but they don't. And that seems tied to the expectations set for them which value "scores" over "ability."

My daughter in grade school conspired with a friend to cheat on a test. I found out about it and was really angry with her. We sat down and I tried to patiently explain that I didn't care if she got B's and C's and D's if she had actually worked to learn the material. And if the material wasn't understandable to come to me and we would brainstorm and implement ideas that would try to break through that impenetrability. That experience helped shut down misconceptions that my "pride" in my kids was because they scored highly on tests, and replaced it with an understanding that what I was proud of was how much they had learned and how much effort they put into that understanding.

That leads to the second thing which saddens me about this article is that the "problem" of praising scores over abilities and effort is with the parents and not the children. An outreach program to parents is unlikely to succeed if they are of the mindset "Well the other parents are going to cheat and their children will get the top spots while my child tries to get their honestly? No way, I'm not a sucker."
A good example of this was the recreation of Star Trek: The Next Generation in Blu-Ray resolution. The main scenes were still available on film and could be rescanned. But all the special effects (phaser beams, transporter sparkles, etc) had been rendered using late 80's technology. And had to be recreated from scratch.

Some of the model shots also had to be entirely redone via 3D effects, such as the Crystalline Entity in S05E04. Paramount spent millions on this project, which were never recouped as the discs were released just as streaming took off.

(As a TNG fan, it was totally worth it.)

If this is so trivial with front facing camera, why has Tesla not implemented it?

Stationary object detection appears to be totally missing, whether it's Tesla repeatedly trying to smash itself into the concrete support posts for the Seattle Monorail, pedestrians at an intersection, emergency vehicles flashing a standardized set of lights, etc
> The message it sends is “you’re so incapable that we need to hire another person just to make up for your deficiencies”.

It's my understanding the interpreter was requested. I don't think that's the message being sent here. The message would be more like "we comply with this reasonable and lawful request because it makes you, our valued employee of 6 years, even better at their job".

And you're not getting one employee for the price of two, you're getting one employee and a one assistant. Executives get assistants all the time and no one blinks an eye. What, are they so incapable of scheduling their days themselves?
Maybe. A few things in io-uring are implemented by letting a kernel task/thread block on doing the actual work. Which calls that are seems to change in every version, and might be tricky to find out without reading the kernel code.
Me neither - I was 8.

One friend's dad had playboy magazines. Another had videos. And another had games where if you knew the password (we did) it would show some 8 bit graphics with nudity.

It wasn't about sexual arousal. It was just about curiosity. Hell, my 6 year old tries to see my butt all the time. Because it's my butt and it's usually covered.
Completely uncensored communication is really the only way forward.

We do not know what will be illegal tomorrow which was legal today. And if you do not morally agree with the laws, that is why we have uncensored technology. The best use case.
I feel this is a little harsh. There are plenty of wealthy or politically connected or just very charismatic people in the US that do the same thing. I can think of 5 peers that followed a similar path. Not at this scale, as far as I know, but slimy. Using one kind of power to gain influence in acadamia. Heck, there are plenty of buildings built to get kids into US institutions. But it cuts both ways, if I recall correctly a Yale couldn't get into the university which bore his name, and wound up going to Saudi Arabia on behalf of standard oil.

Proof of education is really hard. Some people can just do the work, Ramanujan or Einstein might be a good example. Some people fake it, and do good work. I don't have a great example for this, but I'd guess 20% of post docs feel like they're in this category. Most people just grind it out.

I think academia is in a tough spot. It appears to beat people into submission around academic honesty. That's not great, but at least sorta effective for enforcing the rules.

I guess the only takeaway I can offer is, if you have the opportunity to play poker with advanced academics, you should take the chance. They're super smart, and super dangerous. But they've also got some big blind spots, and no interest in fixing them.
So, these are spam letters to people that currently have no business relationship with you?

In some cases, they have. My Model Y has no front facing radar, but supports automatic emergency braking with vision only (Autopilot currently limited to 80mph, it’s 90mph in our older S and X vehicles with front facing radar; the limitation will be raised once their models are reliable at higher speeds). I expect stationary object detection based on vision eventually, which is not possible with radar alone due to inherent technology limitations.

This news outlet ANI seems to have done no research at all into these claims before publishing the story. According to their statement they did not contact NASA until the 26th, a week after publishing the original story. Only then did every detail fall apart:

- NASA never accepted a paper from the girl, and the screenshots shown were authored by IJSER which could have been Googled to show that they will accept anything

- The certificates shown in the original story were obviously fake not just in appearance but the names and positions from the people at NASA do not exist, like "President & CEO" of NASA, which could have been Googled

- NASA never gave any funding to the girl, so even the basic idea of the story that has a paid job with NASA is false, let alone the claim that they were paying for her to come to the US

They only contacted NASA a week after publication, and now they insist that "a large part of her story is verified and authentic" and rests all the blame on the girl saying "she duped us." I can't help but feel that this national story would have never existed if the publication did their jobs, a story that will now follow the girl as long as people remember this.

Economics is fundamentally about peoples' feelings: their subjective valuation of various things, and the resulting decisions made in allocation of scarce resources to the most "preferred" ends. It begins and ends with value judgements.
Can't just pin the blame on this on the public. These tools have a horrible UX problem. I tried to connect to freenet last year and I literally couldn't work it out. The GUI didn't make much sense, I couldn't work out where I was meant to go to browse content. I think I found it but nothing would load. Apparently I was meant to configure proxy settings in my browser??

I then went to the IRC, reddit and wiki and ether got nothing back or nothing useful. Eventually gave up.

Vs something like IPFS where you just run the software and localhost becomes your portal to the network and you can even access files as a basic file path via the FUSE mount.

Edit: Clarifying that I was using an unofficial build for freenet which may have made it harder.
I remember seeing interview on TV with a McDonalds worker in Switzerland. She said, They are paid about 35 Euro/hour. and they are happy to work at McDonalds ! One of comments from the reporter was that higher salaries increase the price of BigMac by some cents( I remember that it was about 50cents) due to higher salary comparing to cost of BigMac in US. I wonder, Could this be a way to fix the lack of employees? /s

I've figured this out less than a year ago. It's just a uncaring world full of randomness.

When it comes to surveillance, a lot of people are easily swayed and convinced as long as the ones who are under surveillance are the "bad guys". "I've got nothing to hide" is the go to argument.

When it comes to unfair economic policies, a lot of voters genuinely believe in small state policies. A common policy package is known as neoliberalism.

With housing, a lot of home owners are politically active and they often want to slow down change and avoid an underwater mortgage. What happens is that they vote for short sighted policies that benefit them over the short term, without realizing that they aren't the only ones benefiting. They vote in various things that restrict housing supply or they freeze property taxes. What they didn't think of, is that they prevented residential development but they left commercial developers free to whatever they wanted because they provide jobs. Yet when you have too many jobs, more and more people will come to your city making housing worse.
Freezing property taxes helps landlords who never sell their property or speculators who don't intend on actually renting out the unit.

The average voter gets hurt by the way they vote but they don't realize it. Lots of unintended consequences but that doesn't mean there are people out there conspiring against you. There are lots of greedy people looking out for their own self interest who don't care about others, but that describes pretty much everyone.
One could also post chunks of videos to a channel on an existing (corporate) video platform in an obscured form, such that they survive transcoding, and reconstitute them in the client. For example, invert the Pr channel, and reverse audio frames (realistically, do something better). There's your free CDN, provided by a legacy video platform in a way which (at least conceivably, if one properly tailors his approach) does not violate their ToS.

This is great for your family, but in the end just an anecdote. Babies can and have been raised by strangers successfully, and many would have had a more fulfilling upbringing with their own British nanny, but in most cases daycares are not being run to the highest standards.

It would be great if we could come up with a socially supported system that raised the standard of child-care, so that every child gets the same treatment as your daughter.
The starting point for this set of pages is http://www.cap-lore.com/CapTheory/ and from there it recommends http://habitatchronicles.com/2017/05/what-are-capabilities/ as basic intro (and so do I). The author was an architect of a 1970s/80s OS that's little known but that apparently influenced seL4 a lot. These pages aren't introductory but I'm glad they exist.

A sensory key was a kind of transitive attenuator: it's like a read-only reference to an object such that if you use it to fetch a property from the object, the reference to the property that you get back is also a sensory key. (This is my understanding but I may be confused; I've only read about this OS.)

I thought about doing this, but the difficulty for me is finding the projects that are going to be optimal for learning the language.
A couple years back the team I was on was behind schedule on a project. We needed to complete the project in 2 months and we expected we had 6 months of work to do. So we worked nights and weekends, we had 12 hour calls in which the managers were constantly checking in on. Crunch time.

During that time we all worked as one. Focus on one workflow, get it down, move to the next one. We finished on time, and the knowledge sharing that occurred during those 2 months were more than years of knowledge sharing than I had previously.

Once we completed the project, we went back to the old style. Productivity dropped like a rock. But during CO-VID we have had glimpses of that crunch style that come when everyone is on a call. Completing a story is so much better when the team completes that story.
>Privacy _is_ a human right.

>Children have a right to privacy.

I can't agree with this. I'm a staunch privacy advocate by normal millennial standards(by HN standards I'm probably middle of the road for the privacy concerned group)
But certainly privacy is a privilege, maybe one you get de facto at some point, somewhat akin to voting, but obviously in certain situations people lose their privacy rights. In an extreme situation you could look at a prisoner, but also consider that we allow people to be monitored at work - and we have legal methods of removing privacy as well - a search warrant for example, or sexual predator lists.

>Computers are nothing less and nothing more than an amplification system for the mind.

The same could be said about automobiles being an amplification system for the legs, but you have to get a license to drive one because of the destruction that they can cause.

It is likewise with a computer; people here, of all places, should understand how destructive a computer can be. Look at how people are polluting their minds with misinformation and divisiveness on social media, or in more extreme cases, doing things like using bot nets to DDoS websites. Children don't have enough understanding of the world to be given privacy. If a toddler locks themselves in the bathroom, you shouldn't have to respect their privacy if you think they have gotten into the medicine cabinet, you open the door.

I think the whole concept of remote administered tests is ludicrous, a physical presence with a proctor is the minimum standard for a trustworthy results that's not 1:1 video chatting for the entire duration(and even that can be gamed to some extent). To me it makes absolute sense in a competitive academic environment like a school to have keyloggers and network IP monitoring if you want any semblance of fairness. Make kids use a certain, monitored machine for schoolwork. Otherwise those who can afford to and/or have the propensity will cheat. Unless of course you're fine with academic achievement being an even stronger proxy for class.

I'm not saying kids can't have privacy mind you, and especially not that we should give up privacy entirely. But I don't think that kids should have a right to privacy with regards to their education.
I always found Toronto's door chimes to be pretty nice.

London doesn't really have a door chime, just a shrill be-be-be-be-be-beep. However, some of the motors have their own distinctive sounds!

I’ve sent the title “Solutions Architect” at some enterprise product companies. They pair with sales to work closely with customers to design how the product will solve the customers problems.

Sales engineers fill a similar role. But they seem to be more focused on earlier prototypes to wow the customer during sales.

A lot of developers in “professional services” at product companies see and end to end implementation all the way through.

There’s also specialist software consultants, consulting usually requires a broad set of customer relation skills.
A lot of people seem fundamentally ridiculous these days. Silly, frivolous, unserious, out of touch with reality. They should know better, and they don't care that they should know better. They're motivated by something else.

I don't know if that's a new thing or not, but that's how it has seemed to me during this pandemic.

Quite a few people have gone without an easy, safe, miraculously effective vaccine - a marvel of the latest science, freely available at their fingertips - and literally died. As far as I can tell, their deepest motivation to do this was to express their distrust of the establishment and/or stick it to their political opponents.

In a "lol nothing matters" world, all that matters to these people is whether they get to stick it to the man. Nothing bad can really happen, so no real thought is needed to stay safe. It's fine to just believe the first entertainingly outrageous quack theory that flatters your sentiments or ideology or tribe.

It's as if they were interrupted by a gunman while watching TV, and made no motion to defend themselves, assuming the gun pointed at their heads was part of the show.

It looks to me that this is a similar concept to those malicious “virus alert” websites that instruct you to call someone in India. Then (after some fearmongering, and maybe bullying) they commandeer your computer, run netstat, and tell you that you have viruses that only an expensive yearly subscription can fix.

I also have to wonder how many people are outright ignorant about iOS’s subscription cancellation menus. The menu is kind of hidden away in the Settings app. Not only that, but in my experience, subscriptions through iOS show up as charges from Apple on bank statements; no indication of what you were charged for. Hell, even payments to the Apple Store for physical products show almost the same nomenclature, with no indication that it’s a different type of purchase.

"Tracked" is a bit much, for good and bad. There are potential benefits to prolific tracking, but there has to be a system of integration to realize them, which is totally lacking. In Shenzhen, if someone steals your wallet, the police can collect camera data from all sorts of sources around the time and place and track the thief down, and you have a reasonable expectation of getting your property back. In random US city, even if there are likely many cameras that could provide similar tracking capabilities, police will just shrug. So we don't even get any of the theoretical benefits to all this surveillance, all we're left with is random abuse.
