Signal's message requests is a major selling point for me.

I recently created a Signal account after having a bad experience in which someone used my phone number to harass me with SMS/calls (every time, from a different VOIP number). It's frustrating that, even in this era, there is no good way to filter out malicious actors from SMS/call.

P.S. You can sign up with Signal via a VOIP number to avoid sharing your real phone number. See: https://theintercept.com/2017/09/28/signal-tutorial-second-p...
The worst thing is that scaling isn't applied correctly at all. You can have a taskbar icon with correct scaling that has a tooltip that isn't scaled at all and a context-menu that is scaled correctly but the scaling was also applied to the position so now it floats 50 pixels in the wrong direction.

It's an inconsistent mess. Great for people who think inconsistent messes are beneficial for them, not great for other people.

Water Now (WTNW) is a company that takes contaminated water and purifies it thru a proprietary process. The owner needs help as it's stock value is 0. They have built and sold a few machines to do this and it works very well...especially around oil wells...but the owner needs your guidance. They had a $30M offer but it fell thru.
The 9th Circuit ruled that source code is protected under the First Amendment in the Bernstein case, which legalized the export of cryptography. If you just publish the contract and don't have any ongoing administration, I would think that gives you a pretty strong legal defense.
That is a bold thing to say. Why do you think this is the case?
Did the local police not come out and investigate?
Or MongresDB.
When you have an outlier like this bulb you can't make any good statistical judgements about it unless it was part of a controlled experiment.

This bulb is a sample size of one. We might roughly know some details about its original construction and early operational life but not enough to really draw conclusions from. The only way to get more details about it will be a postmortem examination of its physical qualities.

Due to its age we have little knowledge of its specific construction details. Were the factory specs followed exactly (or even recorded) or was some of the fabrication machinery tuned by the operator? Did this bulb end up with thicker than normal glass or filament? What was the mortality rate of other bulbs in its batch? Does the fire station have better (or worse) than typical wiring? Did it have bad wiring early in the bulb's life to unintentionally under-load it?

Sometimes extreme outliers are just extreme outliers. A postmortem examination of the bulb might tell you it had a manufacturing defect giving it thicker than typical filament that combined with babying it for the past 50 years extended its life.

Sorry it's not just being contrarian. Outliers are outliers. Just because something is an outlier in a distribution doesn't automatically mean there's some hidden truth of the universe to be revealed.
Switzerland has 64% of its population vaccinated [1]. It's not that low compared to other Western countries. It's as much as the United States [2]. What makes you say that?

I'm not talking about talking to members of the public. I'm talking about what adults tell their children. I grew up in the early 2000's, and I never once felt like there was any need to be scared of dying from a terrorist attack. And I've never heard of any parent telling their kid that it would be a likely way for them to die.
I disagree. This comment seems to come from the idea that work defines you, but that doesn't generalize at all. Family and friends hearing that you work at FB will almost alway only think about the prestige/money angle.

I work at Uber, another company whose leadership historically made some very questionable decisions, and not once did I ever get holier-than-thou crap from acquaintances. And even if I did, I have enough internal perspective to appropriately call BS or disregard people who think parroting 5 year old articles constitutes having an educated opinion on the company today.

Another similar example is Microsoft. They were demonized extremely heavily a decade or two ago, but these days, claiming that working there is a reputational stain would be pretty laughable. LinkedIn, Groupon, AirBnb, etc all had negative press at one point or another. But if you work in any of those, the most common reaction is "Oh, cool!"
Note MangoDB is a stateless proxy as such you can use it with any PostgreSQL setup. For example you should be able to use it with Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL as backend which has HA built in
Completely agree. My most enjoyable job was working shipping at a factory (think playing tetris while loading/unloading trailers all day). Farming however, is my most enjoyable 'value-generating' activity as opposed to job. I highly recommend it: getting more than adequate daily exercise while providing most of your family's food needs.
Yes, they were there and so was a fire engine. I don't think it's typical for police to request autopilot logs from Tesla though.
> The driver said she was using Autopilot, that an OTA update had had a problem earlier in the day, and that she had actually had the same kind of collision on Autopilot previously!

So she continued to use it? That's insane.

It's worrying that there are tons of videos on YouTube reviewing Tesla's Autopilot and FSD where the cars do something incredibly scary and dangerous, and the drivers just laugh it off, go "well, it's a beta!" and continue using it instead of turning off the feature that almost got them into a car accident. I don't want to share the road with drivers who think dangerous driving is a funny game.
Why are you so committed to erasing the difference between humans and computers in order to place humans below computers?
I mean, I said in a sister thread that I do think there could be an argument that me working for an awful corporation does enable them and I am at some level responsible for their actions, but I don't know that it's realistic to expect someone in the corporate world right now to drop everything and only work for ethical people right now...our entire society is somewhat based around us working for evil corporations.
Waiting to hear porn stars offer same service...
It is true- v0.5 is still in rc1 and isn't yet the default version on crates.io. The only thing holding it up is documentation, but that's been true for months now
You mean what happens when economy does well enough that it starts overheating which forces an exit from the liquidity trap and turns real interest rates positive? I guess we'll find out soon.
This proposed law is discriminatory against autistic people (of which I am one) and, possibly, other people who, due to difficulty in reading a room or difficulty in self-censoring or difficulty in separating fact from imagination, might say or post offensive things without intending to cause hurt. (Or, maybe, without intending to hurt anyone who actually exists, as opposed to their imagined enemies.) I could also add that it's discriminatory against people who were raised in certain environments, but I've noticed that "They were raised that way" isn't seen as a valid defense, as it's apparently viewed as axiomatic that everyone has a chance to revise all of their implicit biases before posting to Twitter.
The school receives most of their funding from the state, and the state gets to appoint half of their board. The school is concerned that the state could retaliate against them for allowing the professors to testify. Which is probably illegal, but probably wouldn't be addressed for months or years.

The easy way out of this is for the court to subpoena the professors. I wouldn't be surprised if U of F was taking this stance to force that to occur, and which point they can shrug, and say "we tried, but they were subpoenaed..."
Computers are a tool built to improve the lives of people. It does not make sense to consider them an end in-and-of-themselves.

I, and i think especially more poor people, would be willing to relocate to a better region if adequately compensated. I'm not calling for just telling people they cannot in low lying coastal places, but basically incentivizing a lot, very fairly, and telling the others they're now out of scope for emergency response (but retain their freedom of movement).

I've had similar thoughts about how we (as humanity) tend to build big cities on some of the most fertile land just because agricultural success drew people proximally to those lands. But then we pave over fertile fields to put up offices that house people who just work on computers... We get sucked into local maxima and find it uneconomical to move out of it (or often an organizational issue where all have to move to not have massive first mover risks)
I hate 5:30 sunsets. A few hours from here are 4:49 sunsets which I'd super hate.
Solaris?
Have your insurance company harass Tesla. Chances are they’ll come back with a report saying “driver depressing accelerator 13.42° at time of incident overriding AEB and ignoring FCW for 5 seconds”. That’s usually how these kinds of stories end.

That's fucking tragic. Imagine killing an entire population of humans because some of them were sick. Sadly most people will read that and just think "what a waste of good food". In 500 years humans will be absolutely disgusted by the way we behaved towards other animals in current times.
Is Dai similar to Gemini's GUSD stable coin? It too is backed by Etherium. I think Gemini is paying 8 or 9% APR for holding. Where is that money coming from? Are they loaning out for a higher rate than that?

Does not look like the same thing - this looks like system to replicate from MongoDB rather than being able to talk to PostgreSQL as if it were MongoDB
I have a feeling a lot of stuff is being swept under the rug at this stage. Watching how many near misses are on YouTube from a handful of beta testers, the only accidents I've seen are rims being destroyed by curbing. From the amount of dicy things it's doing I find it hard to believe there's no accidents. Especially before the rollback last week of 10.3 where a lot of people reported very dangerous behavior as soon as it rolled out
Frankly I think that there will be a cultural divide, just as we have pro-covid and anti-covid camps today (due in part to Facebook's algorithmic amplification of disinformation). Many will say "actually, surveillance targeting children is good", "actually, social networks that promote genocide are good", "actually, lying about your numbers and destroying entire industries that rely on your numbers is good", etc. Some entities and people will take a stand, and some will proudly hire anyone who seems in danger of experiencing consequences.

In order for Facebook engineers to be judged by future generations:

- there would have to be future generations

- they would have to have accurate information about what Facebookers have done

- they would have to live in functioning democracies where accountability is possible

The result of Facebook/Meta's efforts, intentional or not, will be to prevent any of these eventualities from coming to pass.
And where did I mention the US?

Portugal is almost 100% vaccinated, Switzerland is at 64% which puts it closer to the former comunist EU members like Slovakia.

That's a massive difference, and to me, says something about the country's population/society.
You are confused why people do not want to discuss pulling levers attached to arguably the most complex system of which we are aware? Especially if it is going to be the same caliber of person pulling those levers as allowed it to happen in the first place?
doctors would tell you to isolate at home and use ice

How is an aircraft flight controls software a good example? I think everyone would agree someone building such software should know how a plane works. But do they have to be an aeronautical engineer? No. Where do you draw the line? There is a difference between flight control where lives are at stake and say spitting out a CRUD feature as fast as possible to see if anything sticks to reach market before the competition, then switching gears accordingly. If I deep-dived and skilled up to excellence on every technology I touched I'd still be on the first one. If all software were designed to NASA standards we would not be where we are now.

I don't expect a web designer to know how NAND gates or how to program in C because it's irrelevant. If they spent time learning that on the job, that's likely a waste of time. Abstractions exist for a reason.

I agree completely though that lazy people are out there. Professionals should always be learning and trying to improve their craft. Learning the bare minimum shouldn't be the default.
Allow me to doubt that you have deep insight into the motivations of thousands of people that have all selected MongoDB for their projects. This seems unlikely for several reasons, if nothing else because of Dunbar's number.
She is still the driver. Blaming things on Autopilot is not going to get anyone very far in the legal sense.
I've never dried off the bird particularly; if you don't dunk it until the oil is around 250, it typically drops the temp down to near 212 (100C) and the water boils off pretty gently. The real issue is if you have ice, which is often present in big chunks.
The simplest of slumbers
You might be able to seek a criminal complaint (not that I recommend it). You can call your local DA's office to see what they think. It's unlikely they'd want to take on Tesla, but a CA DA might go after the driver for criminal negligence.
You call it a 0% interest money market fund. You do not call it a bank. A bank does something entirely different: create 'bank loans'. A non-bank does not have the ability to create bank loans.
Machine Learning and Kubeflow at Shell
The two nuke stories aren't quite equivalent. The nuclear-naive postdocs designed a Nagasaki-style fission weapon. The "Fogbank" material that we forgot how to make is a component of fusion bombs, which are widely reported to be generally a whole lot trickier (you've got a small A-bomb which is supposed to light a much larger fusion bomb -- and not just blow the pieces of it all over creation.)
The comments on this particular NYT article are also interesting in how consistent they are, critiquing the behaviors described in this article. There are even some Gen-Z users saying that most Gen-Z they personally know don't exhibit these traits and behaviors. I agree with your assessment. I didn't see the 'fear' part in these anecdotes so the title feels a bit clickbait-y. The article also is ultimately just quoting a series of anecdotes - and although the tone is to normalize those behaviors, I hope in actuality people don't do that.

I read your comment and then started reading about at MakerDAO's governance model. It doesn't jump out as a scam to me, just a clever bit of game theory.

Rupa Health | Senior Software Engineer, Analytics Engineer | Full-time | Remote or San Francisco | https://www.rupahealth.com
Rupa Health is on a mission to make root cause medicine the standard of care. We’re helping doctors get the information they need to get to the root cause of patient disease, so that they can make them healthy. We do that by making lab testing simple. We turn an archaic 15 hour-a-week process into a delightful 15 min task for healthcare practitioners.

We’re still just an 8 person engineering team but are already post-revenue and have strong product market fit (PMF). Our growth rate is through the roof (doubling active users every 6 months) and so we’re looking for talented engineers who want to join us in building the future of lab testing. You’d be working in Django and React with the chance to work cross functionally and own big parts of the product!

What about IP-KVM something like PiKVM? I imagine it would be far more capable than those software solutions.
Yeah it seems like a serious problem that the driver wasn't paying attention for sure.

My money is OP is a short
If this keeps happening, it seems like a logical consequence would be for Teslas to become more expensive to insure.
No. There is no ‘best behavior’.

If your aim is to discover which piece of software provides an executable you know you're running, whether it's wrapped by an alias or not, you want the behavior of `which`, and the behavior of `command -v` won't help you.

If your aim is to discover what will run when you type a command in your shell, the behavior of `command -v` (or `type`) is what you want, and the `which` program won't help you.
It automates and decentralizes the entire financial infrastructure of the world and creates consensus around and enforcement of digital assets outside of the control of single governments. If you can't understand why this is revolutionary and haven't bothered to try in the decade you've been given, I'm clearly not going to convince you. My only recommendation would just be to try it out for yourself or go and listen to someone much smarter than me, like Vitalik, speak about it himself.
I think the lack of uniformity is a big part of many peoples' climate skepticism. Certainly it is a talking point. It seems like many people have too little imagination to comprehend climate science, much less the appetite to learn something inconvenient.
Sue Tesla. It's their responsibility for this garbage. You will get all the incriminating data during discovery.
I've previously named Tether "rat poison" and I hope they are regulated/banned. Tether is an easy problem to "solve", and imho, should fall under existing regulation.

However, I would love to see an explanation on how the treasury recommendation of regulating stablecoins as banks should apply to (what I see as beneficial) "algorithmic"/DAO stablecoins.

The treasury's continued omissions, ignoring the real elephant in the room Maker, will only confuse regulators instead of addressing the "hard problem" of Maker.

There are gorging differences between a centralized and "trusted" service like Tether and the algorithmic, automatic, decentralized, and trustless Maker.
Replies seems to be of the perspective I was suggesting we target courts proactively.

I don’t think anything I wrote constrains public response to lobbying courts. We could lobby to legislate open access to privacy tech and encryption.

One of the big papers wrote today how state legislatures are effectively gerrymandered for one party or the other.

There’s a whole lot of political effort the public could participate in that would prevent ideas like this specific one from getting beyond a back room rant between elected officials.

And frankly it wouldn’t have to impact our real logistics at all; we could collectively take ownership of our own agency and refuse to login unless legal ownership is reassessed.

The internet community seems to have forgotten SOPA blackouts worked.

The political reality is not accepting the literal one; a real majority with nothing to lose is quickly losing patience with the real minority gaming everyone’s society.
You don’t think a force capable of interstellar travel can destroy something under a few hundred meters of water?
