> No other company has to do this. They created this rule specifically to make the USPS run at a loss so they would have a reason to gut it.

This is a great reason to not get your news from John Oliver, as everything you have said in this comment is false (except I'm sure the link works).

"Prefunding" a retirement account is the only way a private retirement account is ever funded. Normal people call it "set aside" or "fund". The alternative is to

1) not have a retirement benefit,

2) a social security pay-as-you-go system, which is not legal for any private company to have. In a pay-as-you-go system, there is no pension fund but workers get paid benefits from the company's general revenue. You can understand why that may be legal for the government, but not a private business (which can go bust). Private businesses are forced to set aside money for retirement benefits as the liabilities accrue. Obviously this creates a pain point when an arm of the government is privatized. But that doesn't mean we allow private companies to pay pensions out of general revenue just because they used to be public in the past.

Even those companies which no longer offer defined benefit plans but only make some 401K contributions still make those contributions to a fund in the worker's name each year, before the worker retires. They "prefund". All private companies "prefund". Have you heard of the phrase "pension fund"? That's the fund into which companies must make payment ahead of retirement when a worker is working and then the worker draws those down when he retires. Forcing companies to set those funds aside ahead of time for each worker is how we fight the temptation to skimp on those contributions and kick the can down the road. Companies that do skimp on pension fund contributions are committing fraud and this creates a big mess as the government has to bail them out or workers end up not getting their retirement checks.

What's interesting is where this misinformation came from as it's so popular on the left. There are all sorts of conspiracy theories about "gutting" the post office, but what I think is the key problem is the refusal to acknowledge there might be a tension between the generous retirement benefits negotiated by the postal workers union and the fact that the post office is facing financial shortfalls. And instead of acknowledging these real trade offs, it is some supposed unfair accounting rule that is causing problems for the post office and not, you know, all the money they are promising to pay workers when they retire.

Do we still need to upgrade every x years, in my opinion we've reached quite a plateau. E.g. my 4 year old phone is still fast enough.

Mandating an upgrade by obsoleting the OS is going to add to our environmental disaster, the newest IPCC report says probably +1.5 C more by 2040 at current trajectories. I wish influential environmentalists would start shaming Microsoft.

For me, I always incorporated something interesting and new into the small projects.

While maybe not necessary to use Pandas or an ARG parse framework, or even Redis caching, I found by adding little things like these to smaller projects I was able to maintain interest and motivation. While counterintuitive, I also usually delivered a better product even though a tool I wanted to learn was a bit shoehorned in.

Now I'm about four years in, competent and confident. 100% worth it.

It's political/cultural tribalism and being anti-white is the dominant establishment position in US elite circles (tech, media, some areas of explicit politics etc).

It is a position that suffers no backlash or threats of job loss or cancelling in contrast to anything similar for other identity groups. Similar, industry conferences and hiring practices etc can even explicitly single out and promote favoring other identity groups ("women/minorities who code", explicit racial hiring quotas etc) but could never in a million years pursue similar efforts for white men.

I try to spend only 1 or 2 minutes when I visit Facebook a couple of times a week. If everyone did that then their profits would tank. My bad for not just quitting but I am addicted to the Oculus Quest (a favorite toy).

I know many people whose digital life experience is always having Facebook open on their desktop. Productivity is almost a religion to me: aspects of peoples' digital lives that prevent us from long periods of single pointed concentration are bad. I use https://freedom.to to limit my use of HN, etc. to specific periods of the day when I am not working - I almost feel like that is a personal failure that I need to do that, but that is what it is.
More fragmentation and more control over their own hardware. Having general purpose PCs that you fully own was great while it lasted.
My favorite quick reference I have printed out is http://clqr.boundp.org/ It's nice to just quickly explore what's available in the base language too.

But when I don't want to flip through it, or find the short description for something insufficient, then yeah the HyperSpec is usually my first stop for quickly referencing something. I use vim, so I just move my cursor over a symbol and type ",h" and that opens a browser tab on that thing in the hyperspec -- e.g. if I want to remind myself what the state parameter of make-random-state does, I open http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/HyperSpec/Body/f_mk_r... Though I often first type ",s" which is just an alias for (describe 'symbol) which shows me locally the symbol documentation, and for this one I'd learn the same thing without having to have my browser open. I think some people configure their emacs to do the common IDE thing of showing you the doc along with the function signature as you type, I just have the latter. I also make use of jump-to-source since reading the code is often the quickest way of answering a question about it.

PAIP is a great book, but I tend to use PCL as a quick reference: https://gigamonkeys.com/book/ Especially until you use classes/format/conditions/loop enough to get used to them, chapters 17/18/19/22 are helpful. It's still a recommended first book for newcomers that's worth going through entirely though, not just as a reference.

https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/ is a useful community cookbook with info on a lot of topics.

CLTL2 is a reference I haven't used that much, there are a few things that are in it that didn't make it to the ANSI spec, but what I have read I've found useful and clarifying. https://www.cs.cmu.edu/Groups/AI/html/cltl/clm/node1.html Guy Steele (whose 67th birthday is today) is a great writer.
The manager of the company (we can guess likely the CEO since it's a small startup) was infected by a trojan that stole passwords from his computer, but they're certain it didn't infect the network because they "wiped the hard drive." And it couldn't have got to user data because that's hosted in the cloud. Of course the fact the login details are likely on infected computers makes no difference at all...

Yeah usually I am the first to grab my pitchforks against tech giants like Google but the devs are only telling a one sided story here and their business looks far from legit, and that team of amazing devs doesn't seem very competent either if they keep installing trojans.

Hale-Bopp was the best show of a comet I have seen. I have been excited and ultimately let down by some of the overhyped comments in the more recent past as the comets have not held together as they approached. I did get some shots of PanStarrs back in 2013, but it was nothing like Hale-Bopp. There have been some other comets recently, but sadly they have only been visible in the southern hemisphere.

Very little applications strictly need a turing complete machine. However microcontrollers are ubiquitous because they are so flexible. One chip does the job of many, and without needing to be specialised, allowing all applications to take advantage of the economies of scale in semiconductor manufacturing. (Also as pointed out here you drastically underestimate the complexity of a modern ECU)
The trivial bugs that type systems are catching are in the most basic type systems that we know about. Types are not just what is present in Java, types are any proposition that can be made about a program before program execution. The propositions that a type system allows you to make is a design decision as well as an implementation challenge.

But if you look at something like F* or Idris, the types allow extremely rich propositions. I think you’re selling types short, even though they of course are not the answer to all problems.

A Language Agnostic Introduction to Dependent Types
Siblings covered why 12 V is annoying, let's talk about why 12 V was chosen in the first place.

6 and 12 V electric systems in vehicles came about because lead-acid batteries made sense in this application, and cetpar. a higher voltage lead-acid battery is overall costlier to manufacture, because it contains more individual cells. Another big thing is that there are many switches and relays in a car, and those often switch significant power. E.g. the light switch for the headlights has to deal with around 200 Watts total for incandescent/halogen headlights, indicators are like 15 Watt each front and back, the starter motor requires a tremendous amount of power, and has a very robust power switch built into it.

All of those switches become much more expensive when you increase the voltage. DC at 12 V and sizable currents is something you can reliably switch with mechanical contacts without costs going through the roof.

Being able to use 48 V for everything in a car is more or less dependent on using silicon switches for everything, not something that was possible in the past. The reason why legacy ICE cars (all ICE cars are now legacy) stick with 12 V is because everything is 12 V, and everything would have to change for the new voltage.
> They've been continually defunded and in spite of that still make progress.

In previous discussions here several times I’ve seen comments that not enough is spent of fusion research, and what we need is a fusion power Manhattan project.

Manhattan cost about $22bn in 2021 dollars, but ITER by itself will cost around $18bn to $22bn, although some third party estimates come to more than double that. The project was supposed to cost $6bn, so this is hardly a case of defunding. Vast sums of money have been and still are being spent on fusion.

I read plenty of SF with cheap powerful fusion reactors back on the day. I shared the dream, but the fact is there’s no guarantee fusion power will ever be practical. Let’s finish ITER, see where the alternate projects take us and see how it goes.
>If you were going to design a new car electrical architecture from scratch today, you would have something like a 40-60V system with a centralized controller (or pair of controllers in a safety redundant configuration).

Actually this point is something im curious about - it seems to be redundant to have a 3X redundant processor ..probably placed in different places on the car body for safety.

Would that not be superior to current architecture..while being able to tap into the most modern chip architecture of the day ?

I'm not a car engineer and dont understand CANBUS, etc. But just wondering if this is indeed possible.
Then your complaint is not orthogonality. Orthogonality means that you can use a for each loop, find_if, any_of, ranges::any_of and everything will still compose the same no matter where the data comes from (file, network, a function that advances an iterator). Your complaint seems to be that iterators instead of coroutines are used here.

That's your opinion. They have shown data where the information from radar was of a lower quality than what their vision stack was providing (e.g. lack of vertical resolution). Watch their AI day webcast for examples. Their current vision-only stack has been validated with LIDAR ground-truth data.

Are you sure they're not just driving a manual transmission car? I can keep my foot lightly on the brake and apply the clutch to accelerate, without touching the accelerator pedal (diesel engine has a lot of low-end torque). Not that I do this in practice, except in drive-through lines just for the fun of it.

In first gear I can reach 8 km/h, but it's possible to get all the way to fifth gear while idling (takes a long time though).
>clear misinformation

You say that like such a thing is clearly defined.

Does it depend on intent? If I say something that you consider to be incorrect but I understand it to be correct is that misinformation? Or do I need to know it's false? If the former we need an arbiter of what is true, which is not a trivial thing. If the latter we need an arbiter of what i believe which is basically a good chunk of what the legal system does.

Does it have to be demonstrably harmful? What is the threshold of harm? There are plenty of things that might be wrong and minimally harmful to say, but some that are more medium level harmful. If it doesn't have to be demonstrably harmful then what you've just done is literally just oppressing someone you disagree with for no real reason.

There is a reason that we tilt toward freedom of speech with governments. Doing otherwise doesn't scale and tends to devolve into people in power censoring opinions and topics they don't like.
Please watch Sabine’s video. She gives numerous examples where blatantly misleading statements are made by fusion scientists.
Sure, but anyone who's ever listened to talk radio knows that radio can be used for evil ends. Why Rwanda? What about Hitler's propaganda broadcasts in World War II? Or Stalin? Or walkie-talkies used to coordinate war-crime operations by whichever armies you're willing to condemn the war crimes of?

I think the more likely explanation is that the commenter didn't know the difference between Rwanda and Southern Africa. I mean, I guess Zimbabwe is also mostly Bantu-speaking? But Guatemala and Virginia are both mostly Christian and also both largely speak Indo-European languages.

we onboarded many top film celebrities on clubhouse for our events.

after reading article creator program does not seem successful .

clubhouse app still lacks key features which can help creators.
- have to use third party service for analytics,
- have to use a second phone to record content as audience, if you are mod audio notification of people hand raising is distracting.
- irig2 and additional cables and adapters and mixers if you want to create studio quality content.

have reduced content creation by about 80% in last 2 months

looking for some platform gives a better monetisation options for creators.
