Can you explain how all gains are from other peoples losses?

Someone invented a technology. Initially it was worth zero. Now it’s worth 1tn. The gains are from the gradual realisation that the technology has some merits. There are way more gains than losses… so far at least.
It's complicated and can be expensive. Also people that has you real phone number cannot contact you on Signal, so you have to have two accounts, one with your real number to chat with your contacts and another one with the fake one to share with strangers that you don't trust, and as far as I know the Signal app doesn't support two account (yes on Android there are ways to have two instances of the app, on iOS you can't).

To me Telegram is superior to Signal because it gives you both options, use your phone numbers with people that already have you in the contacts, and don't share your number with strangers in a group.
It's not that onerous if you've gotten used to staging your food handling. You just prep everything else, handle the chicken, set aside in a dedicated bowl, then wash your hands and go back to handling everything else.

Once I'm cooking, I just use a dedicated pair of steel tongs for moving chicken around, then I don't have to keep washing my hands, I just clean that set of utensils once I have a moment.

I think it's still worth the effort, it's just some specific food handling practices. After all, it's not like I don't practice the same caution when I'm handling any meat, and even for any other meat I'd have to wash my hands when moving from handling meat to veggies.
The Metaverse Era
Yea, I made the post despite the age of the article because of how well it holds up today. A bright future where you can replace multiple desktop monitors with a VR headset is coming, but by my own estimation it's still 10 years away.
$35k includes children, retirees and other people who don't work for whatever reason.
I agree, but if you bought a tool called "autopilot" and it piloted you into another car, there is something wrong, no? Maybe not the NHTSA, but it seems like someone should be tallying that.
The comparison there is as bad as elons in the other direction. They are digging into every missing bit of data and mistake for tesla in a different data set than other brands. I wonder of you could redo now with official data.
These wr going to actually be proposed in the fall, but it has now been pushed back to December.
Oh, you assume Tesla won't fight to the death to avoid releasing data recorder information. They will.

Unless it "absolves" Tesla.

Remember, this is the company that when someone died, put out actual PRESS RELEASES to say "Not the car's fault. In fact it warned him before the collision that he was inattentive."

They neglected to mention it triggered ONE steering wheel warning... FOURTEEN MINUTES before the collision.

Even your example is problematic. "FSD/AP isn't at fault/didn't cause the collision/near miss, because it wasn't engaged..."

... because the driver had to take emergency action to avert FSD/AP's behavior.

They got taken to task for that, when investigatory boards started asking "just how long before that collision was FSD/AP disengaged, and was it disengaged by hard manual braking, etc.?"

This is my main problem with MacOs - text on non 4k displays is so blurry, Windows and Linux are doing much better job with rendering fonts. And Apple doesn't seem to care about it at all - they even removed subpixel aliasing in the recent system update (i guess it was High Sierra). So weird, given most of the high refresh rate monitors on the market is 1440p, so if you have a gaming pc you need to buy separate 4k monitor for your macbook, because no one seems to care about fixing this, WTF?

Heck, even with three seats with PR you get that result; that's a proportionality problem from limited granularity.

This is also why strong, independent, unitary executive systems are themselves an additional proportionality problem on top of any that exist in the legislative branch, as a one-member body is the extreme limit case of granularity-limited proportionality.

Of course, granularity-limited proportionality in a representative body has a fairly obvious trivial approach for mitigation to any arbitrary extent desired, so proportionality gaps from this source are neither non-problems or problems without corrections available.
This has already been done (http://www.adapplang.com/index.html).
Insurance companies aren't going to bother investigating autopilot until this issue gets a lot more widespread. Rear-end accidents happen thousands of times a day.
Sorry, I have no idea what point you are making. Are you responding to the correct comment?
Btw here's proof. Here is ltr text and rtl עִברִית text عربي
interspersed with no bidi override control characters to be found.

Unicode can handle this, it has a heuristic algorithm for it. Note how if you try to select the text character-by-character, your selection does funny things at the rtl to ltr boundaries, because the byte order doesn't match the order on the screen. It really is handling the directionality changes, with the letters entered in "order" across changes, there is no funny entry or ordering going on, this is plain old normal unicode handling interspersed directionality changes just fine, with no bidi overrides.

It just sometimes gets it wrong for the intent of the author. Especially when there are characters at the boundaries that are themselves not strongly associated as rtl or ltr (like ordinary "western arabic numerals" or punctuation). That's what the bidi override control char is for.

CVE-2021-42574: Every Atlassian Product Security Advisory
There is no such thing as "getting this right" the way you're thinking. No matter what you choose, any possible source of truth will be imperfect. In this case, the UK Land Registry is used as a source of truth, but didn't thoroughly check IDs. Seemingly because the UK ID system is used as a source of truth, but then itself failed in some way.

With an ambient concept of ownership, one is inherently left with a tradeoff between trusting the system as defined and being able to override it. In fact, this is exactly what caused this failure of the victim being unable to get their house back - compared to the common law deed system still prevalent in the US, whereby the buyer would be left without any title and would have to fall back on title insurance to be made whole.

The only way to eliminate fraud is to define away right and wrong, creating a single source of truth ala Bitcoin [0]. In Bitcoin if you have the privkey to a pubkey, then you can transfer value to a new pubkey, period - there is no such thing as theft, as it has been defined away. But obviously this isn't the kind of harsh regime people have in mind when they say they want to eliminate fraud.

FWIW the political problem in the US preventing national ID is the complete lack of ability to reign in corporate behavior. The ongoing abuse of SSN and drivers license numbers by private surveillance companies needs to be stopped (by something akin to the GDPR) before it would make any sense to talk about creating even stronger identification.

[0] Actually this is going to fail for Bitcoin as well, because it lacks the key ecash property of untraceability. Since it lacks fungibility, it's only a matter of time until courts routinely override the computational system with their own version of truth.
Does it need to be investigated for you to get insurance payout? If not, I don't really understand your reason for asking. Non-software-driven rear-endings don't usually lead to investigating the mental stability of the driver, and so long as there isn't an unusually high case of accidents with this software (as in, higher-than-human rates)... This is n=1 for all we know, or am I missing any information?
SEEKING WORK | The Netherlands | Remote only (anywhere)

I have about 5 years of experience with both Vue and Django and have developed many applications with it for freelance clients and for myself. I am located in the Netherlands, but I am fairly flexible with scheduling meetings etc, so timezone differences shouldn't be an issue if you are living in Europe or USA/CA regions.

This is my Github page with open source stuff on there: https://github.com/GDay

I also have a blog featuring Django/VueJS content (including a comprehensive Django/Vue course): https://djangowaves.com

Contact details: https://djangowaves.com/contact/

Currently have about 25 hours/week availability. My rate is $90/hour.

Please note that writing tests/documentation for the things I build is pretty much non-negotiable from my end. It helps me sleep at night.
Here's an idea. Maybe she said she was on autopilot as a cop out? She could also have her foot on the accelerator which disables automatic stopping (clearly shown to the driver as a warning) when autopilot and traffic-aware cruise control (TACC) is engaged.

If this is truly a substantiated issue. Hundreds of Tesla owners would have created threads on the forums below. That would indicate a trend which will prompt NHTSA to take action:

https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/forums/-/list

https://www.reddit.com/r/teslamotors/

But alas, a quick cursory search yielded nothing.

There was another media frenzy a while back. Falsely claiming sudden unintended acceleration (SUA) on Tesla vehicles. The result? "NHTSA determines sudden acceleration complaints in Tesla vehicles were due to driver error"

“There is no evidence of any fault in the accelerator pedal assemblies, motor control systems, or brake systems that has contributed to any of the cited incidents"

I'm not sure if your second sentence was meant to be the sole justification for the first, but unless you're bothered by other small predators (cats, bullfrogs, mantises, etc) then there's got to be something else behind it.
Meanwhile, TSLA is up 52% over the past 30 days, and 200% over the last year.
And yet, people drive their Teslas as if it means "can drive itself".

Words matter. You'd need real evidence to convince me that Tesla calling the system "Autopilot" hasn't significantly contributed to crashes.

> Tether can survive a net outflow because Tethers aren't redeemable in that way

I think it's worth distinguishing here between Tether the company and Tether the coin. Tether the company isn't automatically destroyed by a net outflow for the reasons you mention, but if they are indeed not fully backed, a net outflow could certainly break the peg and kill the coin as we know it.
> As a result Apple missed out on the user-generated content wave, which was owned by YouTube and then TikTok. Apple already had some of the basic infrastructure in place with podcasting, but a middle aged outlook meant it missed the (mildly but interestingly) anarchic possibilities.

Agreed. Apple had the ENTIRE digital hub strategy nailed, with fantastic tools.
Have you actually read any content at the register.com? It’s often tongue in cheek, but openly so, and rarely - if ever - (in my experience) dishonest. Don’t assume all media outlets and journalists are the same.
Mobile phones aren't just another time waster, they have actively replaced things like television and SMS. There is immense social pressure to be on these platforms, so I'd rather it was done in a safe way than forcing everyone onto some shadier platform (likely full of adults and without the barriers that Messenger Kids has).
The high cost of software in the 1980s (2019)
Can anyone recommend a book that makes Hegel actually legible and not completely bonkers to extract what he's saying? I think it's possible he needs to be read in German. Reading and breaking down The Phenomenology of Spirit should be used as a torture method.

Here is just one random passage of The Phenomenology of Spirit, it's all like this:

The distinction which was made between actual Spirit
and Spirit that knows itself as Spirit, or between itself, qua conscionsness, and qua self-consciousness, is superseded in the Spirit that knows itself in its truth; its consciousness and its self"con~sdousnessare on the same level. But, as religion here is, to begin
with, immediate, this distinction has not yet returned into Spirit. What is posited is only the Notion of religion; in this the essence is self .. consciousness, which is conscious of being all truth and contains all reality within that truth.

Arthur Schopenhauer criticized Phenomenology of Spirit as being characteristic of the vacuous verbiage he attributed to Hegel: "I do not think that it is difficult to see that whoever puts forward anything like this is a shameless charlatan who wants to fool simpletons and observes that he has found his people in the Germans of the nineteenth century.
Depends how high is your bar for "effective". For example there's nothing secret in rate limiting and IP bans, and these are fundamental techniques.

However, there are plenty of opportunities to catch spammers when they make stupid mistakes. I've worked with web bot spam. I could catch a very popular bot brand by observing that it sent Accept header with content that was implausible for the User-Agent it sent. If the code was public, spammers could see `if (browser == safari && accept != safari-like) { spam }` and fix their header in minutes.

There's also a middle ground where the algorithm is public, but it's powered by secret data: blacklists, databases for classifiers, ML models. From accountability point of view data being secret is as problematic as secret code.
Ah yes the "no true journalist" argument
Right.

From my very shallow understanding:

- The fact that females are defined by unmatched sex chromosomes rather than matched ones means that in haploid parthenogenesis (a split and rejoining of a single half of a genome, rather than fertilisation by male and female sex cells), the resultant sex cells are either ZZ (vialble male) or WW (nonviable "super-female").

- Parthenogenesis in mammals on a similar basis isn't possible as the umatched chromsome is found in males (giving a viable XX female) ... but without an ovum or womb. A self-replicating female egg would be XX.[1] There's ... some research into parthenogenesis in mammals, and at least one apparent observed instance.[2]

- In the case of Avian or similarly Z/W species, parthogenesis is a potentially viable option for resuming sexual reproduction of a population in which all males have been lost. For mammallian populations, not so much. In any case, there'd likely be an extreme genetic bottleneck.

________________________________

Notes:

1. Religious implications for spontaneous mammalian parthogenesis resulting in male offspring are left ... undiscussed.

I'm with you, where are the actual applications?

I'd say this criticism was mostly fair up until about two years ago. Within the last two years, the actual applications have flourished.

For example, have a look through this list https://defipulse.com/

If you remain skeptical, that's fair. The good news is, Ethereum is reaching adulthood this year by switching to proof of stake and launching the web of layer-2 networks. Within another three years or so, the "actual applications" will become so ubiquitous as to be impossible to ignore.
