Tesla assuming the financial liability for their cars may be what the self-driving industry needs for faster adoption.

One of the big questions with self driving cars is "who is at fault" and if Tesla the corp defacto volunteers by underwriting the liability, then that may pave the way for laws/policy aimed around the car manufacturers holding the blame.
This makes sense for many reasons.

Yet, it makes completely sense for the Democrats to highlight that the Republicans are the ones who are trying to prevent absolutely legitimate citizens from voting because they are an anti Democratic Party.

Because between 2 groups, one which prefers more citizens voting and one which tries to win by preventing citizens from voting, it’s good that the group that encourages citizens to vote wins.
> Similarly, this law provides a litmus test as to the difference between advertising and information. When you are marketing with useful information, then CTRs stay high. Advertising that’s just novelty and noise wrapped in a new marketing channel has a limited shelf life.

As a not-a-marketing/ad-person, if more ads contained useful information and less emotional pandering to whatever/whoever they think I am, I'd be more likely to look at and click on them. That, and not actively surveilling me...

Fellow Bostonian here, You need to look at large cap publicly traded tech companies.

There are a few home grown publicly traded Boston employers such as HubSpot, and to a lesser extent Wayfair which pay competitively. However there are also large presences from Salesforce, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, FB, Spotify and others who pay more competitively.

Want a possible explanation? General happiness is fueled by consistently spending effort towards your long-term goals, and seeing these goals advance. Such goals must be something you can imagine, something that requires effort, and something you can more or less quantify. Savings, paying off mortgage, gardening, you name it.

When you deprive people of such goals, they start looking around for other things satisfying these criteria. Veganism is spending effort towards reducing animal suffering. It's a noble goal, except it's virtually impossible to quantify. You can sort of proxy it into converting other people to your beliefs (that creates tension), or by finding products that claim to be aligned with your values, but generally you will still be less happy than someone taking care of their own farm animals and seeing them every day.

And the latter type will seldom consider veganism, because they are already happy with their current goals.

I just tried it and it disabled the fades. Maybe you made a typo in the setting? Most GNOME apps are not going to have animations hardcoded, they typically use standard widgets like GtkStack or GtkRevealer that handle the animations automatically and respect the system setting. You can verify this by opening the GTK inspector in Font Viewer.

Emulating ADTs without language support/pattern matching is quite awkward. A prime example is std::optional in C++.

When extracting the value in Go you either have to return a pointer / error pair or abort. Both of which introduce awkward code patterns and potential for misuse.

With regard to the class conditioned regime they are experimenting with; this is merely attempting to explain more precisely _how_ deep nets are able to distinguish features between classes. We already know that they do; but we lack a detailed model of precisely why they do and my understanding is that many base assumptions made by e.g. statistics will not help you at all with neural networks (for instance, overparameterization leading to better performance on out-of-corpus rather than overfitting).

If I type www.i, I get links to specific products on Ikea.com. I assume what's happening is, someone finds a product on Ikea and wants to see if it's on Amazon, and instead of searching for the product name, they just copy and paste the URL.
I’m in your court - the fecal matter transplant (FMT) thing has always been fascinating to me. On top of additional years, what if an FMT could just make your years better: it could make it easier to lose weight, or ease depression, or positively alter cognitive abilities… a person’s ability to process nutrients appropriately seems like it could have immense positive benefits. And a healthy gut biome seems important in that regard.

Your level is mostly determined by years of experience and level of previous positions. Your level might get down adjusted if you perform badly on these interviews, but it wont get adjusted up if you perform well. And passing these interviews is trivial if you actually did your job and didn't waste your years of experience, so the limiting factor is still mostly leetcode and years of experience. (Although experience at better companies is valued higher)
I think you're the patronizing one in this thread.
In order to negotiate high compensation, you must be selling something in high demand and selling to someone with lots of cash (or cash equivalent like FAANG RSU). I suspect robotics companies’ cash flow does not look like the FAANG company’s.
It's not that simple.

Sincere cooperation has value and is weighted by authorities, regardless of where it does or does not lead. Years served are based on such factors.

Also, there are the civil suits. Standards of evidence are generally lower and a credible and cooperative peon has value to plaintiffs as they pursue the big targets.
At least they report science in a scientific way. I find it much worse when papers are sold as the "new definitive knowledge" by some newspaper and then you open the actual article and find a tiny sample size and autors thenselves listing dozens of warnings that could make their paper inconclusive.

Reminds me: For a while now, I've been thinking about apophatic theology, also known as negative theology[1]. Particularly in the sermons by Meister Eckhart, the German theologian and Christian neoplatonist[2].

I wonder about the connection of apophaticism, found in Christian neoplatonism, and nondualism, found in Advaita Vedanta.

USD is supposed to be a bubble, because that's how it was designed (at least after Breton Woods). I realized this when trying to figure out when the GDP of China would be higher than the US, and seeing that this depends less on real Chinese production and more on the crazy valuation of USD.

A lot of US economy is not real. A lot of the GDP is based on financial services, real estate, and stocks (including tech), which are pure bubble money. A lot of the economy is also based on health care, which basically doesn't exist is a decent country with public services. The other part is "defense", which means they threat the rest of the world into growing their economy.
from talking to friends I think its more that there are really only 2-3 viable employers in the US, so there is little option to jump ship for higher salary. This keeps salaries artificially low. For example a friend of mine worked at raytheon, jumped to lockheed for a raise, back to raytheon for another raise, and then back to lockheed. You can only do that so many times before companies stop hiring you. Whereas in my field (IT consulting) there are an almost infinite amount of small companies to work for
Depends what your goals were or are. It is also unproductive to evaluate previous decisions with information that was not available at that time.
Thank you - I think you are correct; ~15% profits from the App Store seems much more reasonable (50% seemed wrong but no one corrected me…!)

Most people reading this here and now (today, the day it was posted) aren't going to see 2100.

I'm not making this comment in order to dissuade anyone from doing everything they can to halt or reverse climate change.

I'm simply being realistic. 2100 is 79 years from now. Barring significant medical advances - the likes of which have never been seen before - almost none of the adults here will be alive in 2100.

As I understand it, the source is a very careful implementation of a spec, and the FAA should have the spec.

In any case, I strongly doubt that the buck should really stop at this test pilot. Someone higher up surely has some degree of responsibility. The test pilot did not invent MCAS.

Nobody is saying BTC is a security.

The SEC is saying that 'Kin' token is a security [1][2].

The SEC has already defined what a security is, so if you want them to not classify your new token as a security, then don't make it one.

Kin was sold just like a stock in a company, but without the disclosure or other rights.

BTC was not.

There are plenty of people looking though. There was a federal commission set up in 2017 to investigate this idea and they disbanded because they couldn’t make any progress in the direction the administration wanted (the finding of fraud). People forget Trump claimed there was fraud in the 2016 election that he won. He said there were people bussed to New England to which caused him to lose there. How did no one witness this massive fraud? How is there no record? Where did the busses come from? Where did the money come from? It should be a cursory issue to verify some of these claims, and yet every effort to do so is scuttled when the evidence doesn’t show.

We just went through a 6 months long audit of the results in Arizona’s Maricopa county. The auditors there claimed massive fraud that would have flipped the election occurred. After much fanfare for months, they quietly packed up shop and did everything they could to avoid mentioning their conclusions were that the results of the previous audit were upheld.

I’ve been hearing about the voter id debate since I was in high school decades ago, and still no evidence this behavior is occurring. It’s well enough to conjecture this thing might be occurring, but eventually after decades you need to put up the evidence.

I have been told I have an excellent resume by Google recruiters and gotten a recommendation from a manager I worked with in the past there and still not gotten an interview.

With that said, I think it is because at the time the Boston office was mostly specialists and I'm a generalist. I'm also not from a top 10 school in a city filled with top-10 schools which didn't help, I'm sure.

But that was years ago. Maybe I'd have better luck these days.
> As to whether 56% is accurate, I don't know. Yet if you don't know, you can't be confident in it being wrong. You simply don't know.

And this, in a nutshell, is my entire point: the person making a claim is responsible for establishing its validity. A person questioning its validity isn't. If I claimed that 75% of all HN posters were on the autism spectrum, it would be my responsibility to support my claim, not your responsibility to prove that it's wrong.

Claims made by an interest group that align to the interests of the interest group deserve extra scrutiny, especially when those claims are based on "data" that is self-reported by members of the group with no independent substantiation. It is therefore entirely reasonable to not accept these claims at face value, which gets us back to my purpose in responding to the other poster: the 56% figure is not a credible one.
>I think it’s funny that people assume that all radical ideas are worth trying and that change can only be good.

Nobody thinks that.
The standalone is pretty damn impressive for your average user at that price, though. And that's what matters for capturing the market.
Conflating the Marxian economic concept of “rate of exploitation” and the modern usage of the word “exploitation” is disingenuous. You could similarly say that a FAANG engineer earning $400k is several hundred percent more exploited than a millworker two hundred years ago - which sounds preposterous of course.
I'm willing to guess that any minority is going to suffer more depression than the majority, in this case meat eaters vs non meat eaters, due to the social stigma. It gets tiring having people hassle you and ask you stupid questions about your lifestyle, eating habits, cultural background, sexual orientation, and so on, which leads to, guess what, more depression and anxiety.
> It's specs are wildly outdated.

The original v1 release vive specs still exceed the quest and quest 2 in all ways related to hardware except maybe comfort and peripherals. Framerate, resolution, diopter adjustment, external tracking, the ability to actually use a real PC and video card without extra latency. The vive wins. And later vives and valve headsets like the index win more.

Given how common it is for countries with oppressive regimes to bar or heavily restrict exit, it is noted in article 13 here: https://www.un.org/en/about-us/universal-declaration-of-huma...

The point is if another destination would have you, it is a violation of your right to be unable to freely exit. If hypothetically Canada did not allow you to board a non-chartered plane to emigrate I would argue this would be encroaching if not outright violating this right.
I’m no well-read man, but I feel like Shakespeare would have a field day with the comedy/tragedy of sudden global awareness arising about the dependency chains around our entire planet.

The general sentiment I see is that if a feature is only used effectively by a small handful of users then it's probably going to risk getting removed. That's just numbers, it doesn't make a difference whether it's "power users" or any other users. Either way maintainer time is limited and sometimes they have to make a decision to drop a feature that isn't pulling its weight.

But I've also never heard any description of the phrase "power user" that was clearly defined. Wikipedia says:

"A power user is a user of computers ... who uses advanced features"

"In enterprise software systems, 'Power User' may be a formal role given to an individual who is not a programmer, but who is a specialist in business software"

So which advanced features and which business software are we talking about here? That could be anything really.
I'd suggest that maybe "puzzle" has a slightly different connotation than "problem".

I think a "puzzle" is a concrete instance of a more formal and abstract "problem".

So I don't think claiming to solve an instance (or many!) of a problem is inappropriate.
I agree with everything in the thread, except how they decided to put "Black" in front of some of the people.

That's not what this is. This is similar to what legacy auto insurers use to price risk using a mobile phone app or a telemetry device to gather data about your driving habits [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]. Tesla's primary use case was risk rating drivers for FSD beta access, but the secondary use case (or more likely, an adjacent use case with delayed deployment, never let a code path go to waste) is improving risk rating their insurance customers (good drivers pay less for insurance than bad drivers).

The differentiator here is that the functionality is built into the vehicle natively, and when on Autopilot, those miles are not included in your scoring (which aligns your interests with Tesla’s; they’re incentivized to make Autopilot safe and you’re incentivized to use it).
