Does this really qualify as a nightmare? It's not even an accident. I mean, bad PR is bad PR; there's literally a whole cottage industry (c.f. the linked twitter account) dedicated to spinning stories against Tesla.

But it's reasonably clear that this system, even in this state, isn't causing accidents. I think an open beta like this is absolutely appropriate. Lord knows I'm enjoying watching it (but not using it yet, didn't make the Safety Score cut).
I don't have time to re-read this, so I may be misremembering the details, but my impression as I recall at the time was that this guy was depressed and wrote this book to justify his suicide - to 'prove' it was the correct course of action for someone in his position. (Yes he acknowledges other people can manage to live as a quadriplegic, but not him, because he had a far more active life before the accident than any of them.)

The problems with his argument:

* While it's true a spinal cord cannot be repaired, he never engaged with rehabilitation to improve his situation at all.

* His main problem was depression. He assumed it was caused by the accident, and so didn't bother to treat it. But millions of physically healthy people suffer from depression and kill themselves too. And some very disabled people don't suffer from depression.

I was left thinking that while it may be nothing would have helped, we just don't know. His friends, family and doctors let him down by not forcing him to undergo rehabilitation and psychotherapy.
Pandora's music recommendations are amazing, and the stations stay within their genre. I've discovered a huge amount of new music that way.

I've never used Spotify, so I can't compare. I don't like podcasts either. I get more out of audiobooks.

Ask HN: I got hacked on USCIS account because of Google ads, can I report it?
I was looking for n800 on google(citizenship application form) and an search ad with a similar site name came up(us-forms.com). I went there and tried to login which did not work but they potentially got the password. I went back to USCIS and could not login with the saved login. Can we report to google? This ad could be to get uscis passwords and detailed personal information.

> More vaccinations mean better protection for everybody - this is the whole point.

One can agree with that while at the same time acknowledging that the vaccines aren't anywhere near 100% protective. The science says that neutralizing antibodies that are produced after vaccination wane quickly (in months) and vaccinated individuals can still get and transmit the virus.

And guess what? The serious breakthrough cases appear to be happening most often in the very groups of people who are most at risk when unvaccinated -- the immunocompromised, the elderly, the overweight and obese, and the diabetic.

In short, everyone who is SARS-CoV-2 naive should seriously consider getting vaccinated if they haven't been already because it generally provides strong protection against hospitalization and death, but when assessing individual risk, let's not pretend that the risk of severe outcomes is equal in all people.

COVID is an opportunity to talk about metabolic health that we're sadly largely missing.
You don't see the difference between the one guy willfully crashing his Airbus into a mountain and Boeing having MCAS that makes the control planes not work?

You don't need children to be protected for example with vaccines because they do not suffer from COVID19-related disease. That's a fact.

I think in the even longer term, when the price stabilises (ie. we are not in this growth/adoption phase) the transaction volume will dominate.

And that’s because there will be no more Bitcoin to mine and the price will not be going ‘up’ by default, so mining will be chasing fees only. And the fees are related only to transaction volume.

A mob of angry puritans attacked me in the comments and over-reported my act photos for abuse etc. (photos were black & white medium film and abstract as can possibly be - with no nipples in sight and no sexual provocation in composition).

Someone (I assume moderators) deleted my posts minutes after upload.

After several attempts to clear the issue and no reaction from Instagram I decided that it is not worth the effort. Mind you, at the time all influencers were using the platform in sexually subjective ways with no problems at all.

Since then, I don't share on any platform my act photography, painting or drawing work.

It is available only for exhibitions and print medium (albums).
I think this may be an inflection point. With the wide release of FSD, and all the intervention feedback that will come with that, the rate at which it gets better will increase. And all the infrastructure for training, labeling, creating digital recreations to augment training data, everything will be turned up to 11 if FSD is able to become an important part of the economy driving trucks and being widely trusted to shuttle people around.

What an ego. Hard to be sympathetic when a person’s writing is so heavily suffused with their absolute love of their self and little else (the first section basically amounts to “I don’t believe in morality but for unknown reasons think I’m the shit and have valuable
Philosophical opinions and can write an ecce homo style piece with next to nothing to justify it), the author does not sound at all like a “truth teller” rather like an egoist. I don’t feel bad for ”Clayton Atreus” I could hardly make it through the first section of this scrap. I don’t give a damn that you’re familiar with the canon of western literature, many people are. He mentions Dostoyevsky-he is a total Luzhin. Sorry. I welcome the downvotes. I do think it’s important that we have authentic writing about the experiences of disability, but I think a long preamble that makes you absolutely pretentious, egotistical, and pompous in the eyes of readers is the wrong way to go about it.
Yeah, but I use libraries that don’t do that, and have teammates that don’t care about this
> Calculate 1% of the population of your country.

Then calculate the rate of other killer diseases in most developed countries, such as cardiovascular diseases, cancers, or opoid-related deaths, and how much we don't care about those usually while COVID is suddenly an extraordinary emergency that requires we lock down everything and everyone just to save people who have 3-4 comorbidities in the first place (and those should get vaccinated).

It's pure madness.
That's too bad, I'd love to have the ability to explicitly trade off the recommendation criteria between music features and user preferences. I understand there's no real incentive for spotify to do this though.
> The implication of your post is that 1% of people dying isn’t an issue so long as they are old or fat.

Nowhere did I state or suggest that it's not a big deal if old and "fat" (your words, not mine, interestingly) people die.

The fact that the death rate is magnitudes of order higher in countries where over 40% of the population is overweight is not a tidbit of no importance. It's hugely important because it reflects the disparity of risk that exists in groups with certain comorbidities.

Other figures are just as stark. For instance, according to the CDC, 513 children 0-17 have died from COVID during the entire pandemic. Obviously, all of those 513 lost lives had value but if you ignore the fact that 745 times more people 75 and over have died from COVID than those aged 0-17, you will miss the forest for the trees.

In short, how can we have an honest discussion about COVID risk without acknowledging that the risk is very clearly not equal in all individuals?

> Now imagine a sports venue where every 5 games 10 people died of food poisoning but far more got really sick and some even required hospitalisation. Would you choose to eat the food at that venue when you went there?

How are these figures at all comparable to COVID? If we're going to have an intelligent conversation about COVID risk, pulling numbers out of thin air and using irrelevant comparisons isn't constructive.
> Second, you cannot fund the Internal Revenue Service, because if you fund the IRS, they’ll go after tax cheats

Horseshit. They aren't going to "go after the rich". "The rich" own the Congress, lock, stock, and barrel. They're going to go after you and I, and our piddly $600+ transactions. They're also going to destroy what remaining shred of privacy we thought we had.

And of course, as during the Obama years, they are going to go after their political opponents, with vengeance.

Zucks, Bezoses and Musks have nothing to worry about.

> We have clear, explicit, feasible answers to every single crisis that we face.

Also hourseshit. We _think_ we have answers that postpone global warming, but do not fix it entirely. And we don't even really know if they are going to work or not.

> COVID is an opportunity to talk about metabolic health that we're sadly largely missing.

Exactly, instead of just reporting "deaths", we should be reporting "death by multiple comorbidities" in a matrix form, if we even slightly cared about the science one bit. But no, the media and politicians are just interested in controlling the narrative that it kills everyone randomly.
Every country is a rogue, some more so than others but there's no such thing as peers or friends amongst countries. There are arrangements of convenience, which history has shown can go from one extreme to the other in a shockingly short period of time.

I agree that often certain hobbies require a push to get started. That initial barrier is what I found the hardest to overcome, but once you start going - it becomes easier and easier. Similar to how one can attempt to overcome moments of procrastination - you need to get started and push through initial discomfort.

Its not that strange actually. If you compare it to threads, where you shoot off a thread which you never join(). It’s exactly the same scenario.

Any thread which doesn’t have a join needs a watchdog. Or register the unhandled exception handler.

Can’t remember if threads do this by default. Asyncio tasks for sure don’t, and they can’t really do it either, since a task in error state could be saved for later use for legitimate reasons. Closest you get is the warning printed to log about tasks that got GCd without ever being awaited, if you enable ASYNCIO_DEBUG=1

> Factory-created mass-produced handmade artisan goods? You're working really hard to misinterpret their tweet.

You seem to have seized on a minor peripheral point and worked very hard to rebut it, I suppose because you want to take Hoy's side. But the entire original tweet thread except for Hoy's first tweet was about non-mass-produced goods from China, so the question of whether we should count mass-produced goods produced by skilled artisans working on an assembly line as "handmade artisan goods" is pretty much entirely beside the point.

In fact, the whole factual question there is beside the point. The reason this is at all relevant is that we're talking about Hoy's conflict with Ghost; her tendency to go nuclear and treat people very poorly over minor issues, as amply demonstrated here, is the relevant thing. There are people who applaud that sort of thing, which probably explains most of the appeal of Twitter. It looks like you're one of them.

Me, I'm sick of it, and I don't think this kind of behavior should be welcome here.

Obviously this forum is mostly focused on developers but there is a while world of business analysts, technical writers, testers etc out there and these are often pretty convenient to get into if a person comes from a more 'liberal arts' / soft skills type job.

I don't usually overreact too strongly to big tech making dumb decisions like these, but Spotify's podcast pushing actually did drive me away from the platform.

I beg Spotify to think Logically about it. There is a limited amount of screen real estate available on any display, but especially phones. Q.e.d: pushing podcast-related content actually hurts the music listening experience. Conversely, pushing music content hurts the podcast listening experience. This is (mostly) inarguable; any pixel dedicated to an interface element related to podcast content is a pixel which cannot display music content; its a zero sum game.

I say "mostly" because; there are people who I'm sure love Spotify Podcasts, and having both avenues within one app is a net win. I'd be willing to accept a toggle in settings which could "focus" the app Between Music <> Music + Podcasts <> Podcasts. I don't think that's unreasonable, and I also don't feel it would be unreasonable for it to default to Music + Podcasts.

Though it brings up an interesting point: Imagine the experience of someone who does primarily come to Spotify for podcasts. Its among the worst podcast apps in the history of podcast apps! Its littered with music! That's a horrible experience!

The ironic part is, Spotify is probably happy to lose me as a customer. I'm a "Music power user" if there were such a thing. They may end up paying more in royalties for the music I listen to than I pay them, and I can't say I've listened to more than a half-dozen podcasts. "Show me the incentives, and I'll show you the outcomes": Spotify is not incentivized to build an app that benefits people who listen to a lot of music. Their bread and butter is people who listen to a bit of music and podcasts; just enough to keep them paying each month. So, I don't lose too much sleep over their slow decent into mediocrity; I'm far more concerned about the unfortunate reality that there are no longer any great options in this space, for people like me.

Reading this and the talk about how “surprising” it is reminds me of how I’ve been researching British Columbia’s relationship with First Nations people, and this research extended to other people in the Pacific Northwest under the US system.

My takeaway is that everything about this is heavily misunderstood.

As CPG Grey also concluded, the entire concept is overinclusive, to its detriment. As we squabble between terms like indigenous, First Nations, native American, Indian, we are missing that these are all distinct cultures and there is no overarching grouping really possible. Each distinct group has its own name, own customs, own case law and enjoyed its own sovereignty at one point, and should be addressed by the name of their people, at the same standard we distinguish people by country or religion.

British Columbia is uniquely addressing this, with rights conveyances group by group. But it is a very long way from being closer to accurate. I think accelerating this relies on non First Nations people understanding that there is no overarching term possible (I dare say, including “First Nations”) and that the map of North America should be dotted with microstates just like Europe is
