I'd argue that "feeling forced" because of competitors behavior is no excuse at all.

I work in a field where facial recognition is rife. Despite this, our company has a no tolerance policy for such technology. We feel the holding such beliefs makes not only common sense, but business sense. The best and most intelligent people I believe are also more often than not good people, and good people don't want to work for an evil company. If you want the best and brightest, then have policy that attracts them, and you'll succeed regardless.

To add, regulations/laws are being made by governments such that this data must be available to them to "protect the people". We can't rely on them to solves this. You only have to take a look at China and Australia to see where this is going. If the government isn't going to fix the problem in race to the bottom, then we as the authors of such technologies should try our best in their stead.

I'm not going to jump off a bridge because others do, and it shouldn't be acceptable for businesses to monetize peoples personal data just because competitors do. I hope that with the advent of ethical consumerism, companies that take the morale high ground on issues like this succeed in spite of the monetary downsides, and educated consumers will pay the premium/make the switch to platforms that do so. It's already evident with the mass migration away from Facebook as a platform, following the Cambridge Analytica scandal, and the now regular use of VPN's by many people. I hope such momentum keeps up.
I’m not the person you’re replying to but I’ve also been wondering the same. The best I can come up with is that “flue” is an actual word (like a chimney flue) and autocorrect doesn’t alert people to the error. Kind of like there, their, and they’re.

In writing this comment though I’ve learned that my iPhone autocorrects flue to glue. Even when following the word chimney. So perhaps my pet theory is totally wrong.
Now TV is owned by a traditional premium broadcaster called Sky. I'm pretty sure they deliberately handicap the service, so as not to cannibalise their more expensive traditional packages.
> Most users only care about features which is directly connected to speed of software development.

Considering that the average user refuses to wait longer than 2 seconds for a webpage to load, it's clear that people do care about more than just features. To dismiss that reality seems like a very "let them eat cake" attitude to take. Users care very much when an application makes their computer run sluggishly, and despite your disbelief, users actually do notice when an application looks different from their other applications, and they may or may not care about that. You say that users don't even know that there are UI conventions, but let me ask you this: if you created an application on a mac and moved the three buttons to close/minimize/maximize the application window from the upper left to the lower right, what percentage of users do you think would notice that UI convention change? I'm willing to bet about 100% of them. UI conventions are more than just a pretty facade, they provide hints about functionality using symbols and patterns that we've grown accustomed to, and don't even think about consciously. As for security, it's never a good look to point out how bad one thing is to justify another thing being bad also. Just because we've already lost doesn't mean we should give up.
Yes, the simd extension has the flexible vectors thing. I don't think it has a way to treat simd vectors as bigints.
“I consider myself conservative from an investing perspective.”

(Proceeds to do the least conservative thing imaginable. )

Perhaps this fellow needs to see a therapist regarding staggering levels of cognitive dissonance. Heck, he could pick a stranger on a park bench and ask if A) this strategy seems conservative or perhaps B) the riskiest strategy imaginable. I don’t think I could come up with a riskier plan if I tried. I don’t think any random person would describe it as careful or conservative.

Also he should never open a trading account again and block /r/wallstreetbets or whatever stock meme central is these days.

TL;DR

My code snippet results in bloated code for RISC-V RV64I.

I'm not sure how bloated it is. All of those instructions will compress [1].

[1] https://riscv.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/riscv-compresse...

It's slower on RISC-V but not a lot on a superscalar. The x86 and ARMv8 snippets have 2 cycles of latency. The RISC-V has 4 cycles of latency.

Yes I wish there was a way to opt out and just rely on phone support. At least with phone support the attackers would have to social engineer things at an individual records level versus just being able to brute force huge bulk data records out.
If you can't find the address on the website, sometimes it's in robots.txt, you could also try support@domain, admin@domain or webmaster@domain.

Contact forms can as well, usually they seem to get forwarded to the IT department if they look like they have IT stuff in them, and I've had reasonable success getting hold of the right people that way.
In Denmark we have now reached 90% vaccination rate. We have more infected, the same number of admissions in hospital and a 15% higher death rate than all of 2020. I really fail to see why we are blaming the unvaccinated and not Pfizer/Moderna.

I just remapped the super-pagedn/up keys for window switching (only next/prev instead of hjkl). Otherwise I'm using i3 on Linux, and use Synergy to move between Windows, MacOS, and Linux so it helps to have as much between the three environments consistent.
Yeah, I really wished home video releases had a separate professional surround mix with a much lower dynamic range between normal dialog and the loudest sounds. Dynamic range compression works, but it's often heavy-handed and very noticeable (especially on an Apple TV).

I think cinema mixes are conventionally around 30 dB between dialog and the loudest sounds, which works great in the cinema (both because there is less ambient sound, and because you expect really loud sounds in the cinema), but is pretty extreme at home if you don't have a proper "home theater" setup. That's like the difference between normal conversation and a lawn mower. If you're watching a movie at home and two characters are talking and then one of them starts their lawn mower, do you actually want it to be as loud as if you fired up a lawn mower in your living room? For sustained sounds I generally wouldn't want it much more than 10 dB above dialog (that's like running a washing machine) and for very peaky effects like gunshots 20 dB is probably pushing it for most people's living room setups.
> vaccination is less effective individually for the immunocompromised

> People with a compromised immune system are a good setting for evolving new variants of coronavirus

> They stay sick for a long time (meaning more viral replication and more opportunities for mutation) and they apply a weak immune response which while not sufficient to wipe out the disease, provides selective pressure that rewards immune evasion.

If what you say is true about immunocompromised people I fail to see a public health argument against their quarantine and certification via passports. We already restrict a much larger and healthier subpopulation (the unvaccinated) so restricting this smaller and disproportionately more dangerous one does seem quite obvious to me, based on public health. And as you say, these people are most likely already hospitalized so quarantine procedures should be fairly easy to implement and follow.
To me, this reads as "If we, as a society become better people, we don't need other solutions to address how not great of people we are". In other news, water is wet.

I feel as if the author seems to somewhat misunderstand the relationship between those who have less and those who have more. There's a fundamental lack of trust (which really erupted in 2008) that kicked off this whole crypto/web3 thing.

We tried the "trusting people" route and it didn't work. The incentives are just too misaligned for "trust" to ever work (in my opinion). So, techies basically said "Fu$k it, I'll build my own system to do what you (those who have more) _should_ be doing".

This articles seems to say that we don't need all these complex solutions to problems that can fundamentally be solved by just...being better people? But that has never, and will never happen. We all wish we lived in a perfect world where everyone does the right thing - but that is just not the reality we live in. So these "decentralized/distributed systems" (e.g., Bitcoin) are our way of removing the human component from the equation.
Unesco Adopts Recommendation on the Ethics of AI
Like many people, much of the OP implicitly accepts as its premise the philosophies that create this problem. When you do that, the battle and debate are already over. The assumptions determine the outcome.

Many of those philosophies espouse hopelessness and despair. Making your enemy despair is a transparent and brazenly obvious tactic, and fundamental psyops. You are giving away your power, which is considerable, for nothing. The nutcases are vastly outnumbered. Why are people so stupid as to not see that, and to buy into it? Are you kidding me?

Another thing I've long believed is the disparagement of humanities and 'post-modernism' is disarmament. These are the tools that will win, not more algorithms. The bad guys embrace and use those tools, disparaging them all the while, and most people I know again implicitly accept that and unilaterally disarm themselves. Brilliant!

Why does everyone do this stupid sh-t? IMHO: The pressure of social norms. Look at the widespread use of contempt, for example - a great tool for enforcing social norms, and but which serves no rational, productive purpose. Open-mindedness, humility, respect, and reason are the productive tools - but I can sense the contempt coming for mentioning those things

Some examples:

> Or, people who are in it for society tend to lose or to get screwed until they give up.

We've made cowardice a social norm. If you think the situation is serious, 'giving up' because you are tired or due to social pressure is very weak. People regularly have risked their freedom, lives, fortunes, and honor (reputation) for to give us what we have, generation after generation. We are the stewards and leaders now; what will we give the next generation, or will we just be parasites and throw it all away. Nothing we face is worse than prior generations - if you think it's tough now, imagine advocating for women's rights, for example, facing millennia of history and widespread reactionary outrage; success didn't look assured at all.

> Big banks and big governments really do nonspecifically just suck a lot.

Democracy is the tool, the place everyone gets a vote regardless of their wealth, status, power. By despairing, you again abandon the field of battle to the other side, which certainly has not despaired. It's incredible to watch people surrender unilaterally, for no reason, other than telling each other to despair.

In addition to its annoying layout, this site bizarrely decides to mix public domain works from the various different major copyright systems together (life + 50 years, life + 70 years, the old American system of 95 years). For example, Nabokov's first novel in Russian, Mary, is listed because it was published in 1926; he died in 1977 which means in virtually every non-American country, that work will still be copyrighted until 2028.

They also include Jim Morrison who died in 1971, whose death is only relevant to the countries still on the life + 50 years system. However, it seems like very few of the Doors' songs give just Morrison songwriting credit. This means that only a small handful of Doors songs will be in the public domain in those countries and most likely this will not apply to the recordings either.

For American readers, the best way to find out what will be entering the public domain is to go directly to the Wikipedia pages for the "1926 in literature"[1], "1926 in film"[2], etc.

Very interesting. In general i'm defaulting to "ahh not another syntax/grammar to learn!", but i can absolutely appreciate that a code base written with this would be far better than the messes of opaque pandas wrangling it would otherwise involve.

I really appreciate API design that consciously encourages clean code, and on that basis this looks fantastic.
"Beds" means "staffed beds", not just physical places to put patients. It's a combination of facilities and staffing.
Yep, agreed. For instance, you have more bandwidth and CPU power today than in the 90s but the number of rent seekers you and walled gardens you have to use are much bigger. So the topology has changed.

I’m aware that it’s pretty whack, but my pet argument for reincarnation is this: you used not not exist. Then, at some point in time, you transitioned into existing. When you die, you’ll go back to not existing again (if that’s what you believe). If reincarnation is just a matter of coming into being from non-existence, then the fact that you exist is an evidence that it’s possible. Obviously there’s many holes in this argument (to start with, is every incarnation a probabilistically independent event?), but hey, what good’s freedom of religion if you can’t make up your own mind about things you can’t possibly know right?

This post leans very heavily on the Santa Clara Principles, linked, but which HN readers really should reference:

https://santaclaraprinciples.org/

There are three of them: Numbers, Notice, and Appeal.

That is, service providers should report on the total number of moderation actions, provide clear notice to sanctioned users, and offer a meaningful appeals process.

What neither the EFF nor Santa Clara Protocols address is that niggling matter of scale which today's larger service providers face. The very largest providers serve a base of nearly half the total world population. To give an example of what this means, simply based on demographics, a provider with roughly 4 billion accounts sees some 80,000 users die every day.[1]

Based on content-moderation statistics, the maximum number of items an individual human can deal with in a typical workday is on the order of 700--800,[2] which leaves about 30 seconds per item. More complex cases take much more time. Working at maximum throughput, a team of 100 would have to be devoted to death verifications / adjudications alone. In reality, the team would likely have to be many times this size.

I don't have data available on account suspensions,[3] but across both Facebook and Instagram, there were about 3 million appealed content removals processed in 2021Q3, or roughly 33.5 thousand per day. At the rate of 800 per 8-hour shift ... that works out to a moderation team of about 15, which is less than I'd have thought. Even if my efficiency estimate is low by an order of magnitude, that's roughly three shifts of 150 moderators, or a mod team of about 500 for content appeals alone.

Total "actioned" content is closer to 1 billion items for the quarter. Manually assessing each of those issues would require a minimum of 4,600 moderators per shift, or about 14,000 total. I believe that's within hailing distance of the actual FB moderation team size. This article states it's 15,000, and should be bumped to twice as many: https://www.technologyreview.com/2020/06/08/1002894/facebook...

Is that still practical even if you're storing the page text?

The reason I don't do that is because I have a few functions that analyze the job descriptions for relevance, but don't store the post text. I mostly did that to save space - I'm just aggregating links to relevant roles, not hosting job posts.

I figured saving ~1000 job descriptions would take up a needlessly large chunk of space, but truth be told I never did the math to check.

Edit: I understand scrapy does something similar to what you're describing; have considered using that as my scraper frontend but haven't gotten around to doing the work for it yet.

I've been in a true, physical life-or-death situation. The dominant thought was not an urge to pray, but a perfect clarity of purpose pushing me to take action towards survival. To surrender to chance was to accept and embrace death.

I used to live in Denmark but never understood Danish, spoken or written, very well (at all).

In movie theaters, they'd show English language films with Danish subtitles and, often, I'd miss a comic piece of dialog because the subtitles let the audience in on the joke before I could hear it spoken, and then the audience laughter would drown out any chance I had of hearing the joke.

It was a bit frustrating.

> People like to use the term free market to describe the optimal market system, but that's pretty lousy terminology. The truth is, functioning markets are not "free" at all. They are regulated. Unregulated markets rapidly devolve into monopolies, oligopolies, monopsonies, and, if things get really bad, libertarianism.

Yes, yes, this 1000x yes. Every time someone on HN or Reddit blithely assumes deregulation will solve everything, I want to forcibly point out that the most important word in "free market", is not "free", it's "market". A free market operates within a structure that must be created and maintained not using the properties of the market itself. If you don't have anything with more power than the market maintaining the market, before long you don't have a market. And once you don't have a market, you don't have "free" either.

There's a reason professional sports matches have referees on the field. You need a structure more powerful than the game to preserve the game.
