I may be missing something, but increased enforcement sounds like a great way to solve the corruption problem?

Eg. Public servants make ends meet by fudging timesheets => Enforcement clamps down on practice => Employees bargain for higher pay to make up for difference => Public gets a more transparent accounting of their labor costs
Then their business model is broken and they need to charge more for exam.
> Apple's solution was to scan stuff that was going to be uploaded anyway on-device before upload.

Fairly sure that most of the worry around that was because such a system could very easily be changed to do the same to any photo.

And people felt like their phone wasn't theirs and that it could snitch on you. We know that you truly do not own your phone, but most people do not view it that way.

Sure, it is technically better than doing that check on on a server, but the general public do not currently view it that way.

Personally do not like the system as you would be unable to escape it if it started scanning local photos (which I feel is only a matter of time), something you can with google drive and such, by not using them.
Not really. If the seller does not have the rights to sell something than someone who purchases from them are in effect receiving stolen goods. They may not be intentionally violating those rights but they are still participating in an action which does just that.
And the test is done in a controlled environment with calibrated equipment.

Which is fine when you know the other people are in another zone, except they then have to do the conversion in their heads. If you speak like most people do when not thinking about time zones you just say a time. If time is the same for everybody then there is never any confusion. The computers are all doing it in UTC under the covers. The conversion is just because we have arbitrary layers on top of that.

This happens to me. It may be related to hiding submissions, but I haven't verified that. I think what's going on is:

Do you click the "hide" links to hide submissions?

The visual hiding is done via Javascript when you're viewing a page. What seems to happen is that when you hit the back button, Safari asks HN if the page has changed, and HN says that it hasn't. This is untrue because you've hidden submissions. But because HN says it hasn't changed, Safari re-displays the page it has cached in memory and restores where the browser viewport was - but doesn't restore the DOM state, i.e. where your hidden submissions were 'recorded' in the browser.

Hence if you've hidden submissions above where the viewport was, when those submissions reappear, it pushes the subsequent submissions down, and the viewport ends up above where you'd expect it to.

There's no client-side solution for this.

The community should know when the content is materially altered.
I am skeptical. The reason is because I worked for a bank that had a policy of deleting data after 7+ years. The thing is, a number of database tables were just simply removed from the index but still existed and if you knew the name of the table you could continue accessing them. Likewise, all the tape backups continued to exist, they weren't shredded and this was proven when someone in IT somewhere screwed up and restored my team's network drive with an image from 10+ years ago. It was interesting poking around to see what files were on it from before anyone on the current team was a member, but that shouldn't have happened. So, if a multi-national bank was acting this way, why would FB be any different? They are so large now, fines are just background noise and they have to be caught to be fined.
This holds still true for many computers today

There is a significant theoretical difference.

CUE aims to be turing-incomplete, so no programming. This is based on Marcel's experience writing borgcfg and GCL while at Google.

The quote I really like is "wrap code in data, not data in code"

It has a lot to do with readability, maintainability, and being able to write tooling to work with config or data. Think about building a query tool that can find everything in your config using a particular label. With CUE, it is likely to be a one-liner (once the query proposal is implemented)

Same in Turkey, and this applies to ancient (not modern) shipwrecks as well. While diving my cousin and uncle found an ancient shipwreck off the Aegean coast of Turkey that was recently revealed by moving silt, reported it to the state, and have gotten a fairly significant compensation out of it. Eventually their find ended up in the local antiquities museum.

There are some things that are ancient but common so you can keep, like Roman or Byzantine coins, but even then, you should bring it under for review so they can either pay you the value of it and hold on to it, or give you back with confirmation saying it’s not rare and OK to keep as a keepsake.
I'm CTO of easee, an online eye exam and have been involved in some US market research. It's a rapidly developing field and a lot of regulations are a gray area or different per state. E.g. it might be mandatory to have a valid prescription, but it might not be mandatory for the seller to verify this before selling glasses online.

I've just learned some new things about the eyeglass rule from a sibling in this thread.

> their heart surgeon was hired because of their skin color

This may come as a surprise to you, but for most of American history surgeons were hired because of their skin color and genitals (two things not as far as I know used during the practice of medicine). And many probably still are. The number of medical degrees for women is now about at parity [1]. But as far as practicing physicians go, only 38% are women [2]. And the numbers for surgery are much lower. I've heard from multiple friends in medicine tell me that surgery has a culture that's very macho and frequently abusive.

The problem is a lot of American roads have poor clearance. You can find a lot of images online of trucks that have been opened like a sardine can along the top due to hitting a low bridge. You can't make the truck too long either or else it will be unable to turn on right angle intersections. When they deliver big things like wind turbines on American roads, its can be an extremely slow process with engineers spotting each and every single turn along the route.

“Retractable flaps” sounds like it’s begging for a -gate suffix. Flapgate just rolls off the tongue. Apple doesn’t like moving parts, for obvious reasons.

I think Apple did exactly the right thing here. If I have my MacBook hooked up to my desk monitor, I’ll just use a single USB-C cable for power, video, mouse, and keyboard like I do today. That kind of desk setup isn’t a tripping hazard.

If I take my laptop to a coffee shop and need to charge it, I’ll use MagSafe because it’s more likely to be tripped over or yanked in that situation. What’s key is that I only needed power at the coffee shop. What else would be going over the cable in that kind of setting?
Is this also a difference in audience though? Yesterday's event was geared mainly towards creative professionals who are both more technical than average as well as have specific technical needs. Today's is towards the average consumer for a consumer device (even though it's called the "Pro").
If that was the case they'd just implement it on their own servers, just like everybody else (it's not like iCloud is E2EE).

In reality they probably have a "photoscanner.so / .dylib" that currently is only linked in by the iCloud uploader thing, but at any time could be called in by any other part of the system (or offer exploits new avenues for data exfiltration), which was actually spelled out in their initial announcement (there will be a system API for accessing it).

So they absolutely have the ability to scan photos on your phone; the fact that they don't intend to currently use it outside of the iCloud uploader is totally immaterial to this debate (the thing I don't want on my phone is photoscanner.so or any such capability).

It is not perfect in Canada. Getting aids for our child and was shocked that this is a few grand out of pocket (after gold standard work insurance, provincial aid, etc). The province pays 500 bucks per hearing aid, which seems ridiculous given the costs. We are well to do so it doesn't matter but I am shocked that this isn't fully covered given the taxes I pay (in tech .. so you can guess). For kids, this should be fully paid by the government - no questions asked. As a few others (who seem to be knowledgeable) have posted .. if u miss out on hearing, you start to be less productive member of society. Being in a western, rich society where we pay for stupid shit all the time out of taxes, the govt not fully paying for some basic model of hearing aids seems like a crime (basically, not enough people are impacted, so politicians don't care). I'm glad the US is improving the situation here for its populace.

Depends on who your target audience is and what you are trying to build.

Is it for the masses or a deeply engaged targeted niche?

If you build for say VR then you are probably going high end for now till it or if it becomes a commodity.

Remote Jobs in India for Expat HW/Deep Learning Engineer
Hi,
I'm contemplating a move back to India after spending couple of decades in silicon valley. I will be based in Pune and looking for remote jobs. I've worked in semiconductor startups building chips and applications in consumer video and automotive domain. For last 5 years, I'm working in embedded computer vision algorithms in machine learning/deep learning for applications to perception, semantic understanding and geometry(multiview geometry)
I'm open to work in pure software role as well ( actually prefer )
I've a master degree in signal processing and communications.
I'm comfortable with math and applying the concepts to real world problems ( although primary experience is with video domain ).
Software wise I've experience in C++,C and Python stack(Pytorch,Tensorflow,Scipy etc). Learning about pytorch-lightning and the associated cloud stack.

Appreciate your inputs on possibilities/feasibility.
Thanks.

The copying process was quite a barrier to using compute (general purpose GPU) to augment CPU processing and you had to ensure that the work farmed to the GPU was worth the cost of the to/from costs. Game consoles of late have generally had unified memory (UMA) and it's quite a nice advantage because moving data is a significant bottleneck.

Using Intel's integrated video as a way to assess the benefits of unified memory is off target. Intel had a multitude of design goals for their integrated GPU and UMA was only one aspect so it's not so easy to single that out for any shortcomings that you seem to be alluding to.
> For some reason, a month after iOS is released, phones from Apple, including older phones still being sold, are either sold updated or can be updated.

That reason should be pretty obvious. Apple has a massive profit margin on their phones, so they're economically able to do this.

The margins are super small with Android devices, so if any OEM tries to offer support they'll be quickly undercut by the competition
Sure states may have that rule, but it is totally legal to go to a state that does not have the rule, buy some glasses and bring them back. (Or to buy online from a state that does not have the rule).

Neither the FDA nor FTC at the federal level technically require prescriptions for glasses. Indeed, most online glasses shops will simply take you at your word that you have a prescription, presumably because they are located in a state that nominally requires a prescription, but places no requirement on the shops to verify that the customer really does have one.

This is totally different from contacts, where at the federal level, sellers must verify the prescription with the prescriber, except that if 8 business hours have passed since they started trying to contact the prescriber, without hearing back, the prescription is considered verified. (That last is to prevent the prescriber from trying to prevent customer from getting lenses elsewhere by refusing to verify).

To answer the authors question: lower number ASNs are seen as older more established networks when negotiating peering. It's the equivalent of doing a WHOIS on someone's personal domain and seeing when they started seriously internetting.

Obviously shorter numbers are more memorable and easier to type frequently, which is a desirable trait for network operators.

You probably spent a few bucks on "fly.io" and applied a mental value to the outward perception of a short memorable domain.
