There are plenty of other reasons if you think through it even a little bit.

* Are the founders or employees living in their office?

* Are they treating it like a work environment or a party house? Are the work, kitchen, and bathroom environments professionally maintained.

* Is there adequate parking or public transportation?

* Is it legal? Does it conform to HOA and city requirements?

* Is it centrally located for commuting workers and testing sites or the personal preferences of the founders?

* Is it scalable for a growing company?

Renting a mansion as an office throws a hundred red flags to anyone wanting a serious outcome from a startup.
Plant trees. Specifically trees which bear some kind of crop. I've been focused on chestnuts. Keep planting them every year. Replace the ones that die from heat, cold, pestilence or storm to select for resilience.

Not only are mature trees a beautiful gift to the next generation but the yearly ritual of planting trees is and will be an important one to inculcate for our progeny if we hope for them to stay on this planet.
nft is the most legit scam you will ever see in your life.
It's honestly not surprising in my view. Wealthy "progressives" have always had a "rules for thee but not for me" attitude, whether it comes to homeless shelters, new housing starts, police funding, or affirmative action.
HM here, don't apply to every job on a website (spamming is obvious) but definitely go for any you're actually interested in. Different recruiters often own different postings and some may be more responsive/amenable than others.
There is no way that eliminating 2.0, in such a way that everything that used to rate as 2.0 now qualifies as conforming to some subset of 2.1, can be justified as backwards compatibility.
This strikes me as similar to arguing that we shouldn’t give money to panhandlers because they’ll only go spend it on drugs.

Yes, we as a society have historically made poor decisions about what to do with productivity and lifespan increases. Let’s work on making better choices _and_ enhance our lifespans.
I always wonder why doesn't Google gives users a personalization option similar to YT's "not interested" which could be used for ranking...? I understand they cannot simply block some website due to antitrust issues, but personalization would be a good rationale and also gives users a good reason to keep their sign-in status.
No, the most important is if real losses flow through the local banking system, and that causes a liquidity run on those banks.

Other than that, yes the pain can in principle be contained to the dollar bond market, but even that price signal is now enough to let people start doing the (pretty ugly) math on if we're talking $100bn or $10tr of losses.

If anyone sees estimates, would love to take a look!
Very much so. The tens of thousands of hours of training is like the learning babies do while looking at jangling keys. Then the driving part is more static -- I'm not sure that it's entirely regular programming, there may be some training of models there. But my understanding is it's certainly not learning/training _while_ driving, and _almost_ certainly it's not even learning to drive. It's just doing more learning for object detection and tracking, like a baby watching the world from a pram.

So I feel like no matter how many autonomous hours these cars accumulate on the road, they have effectively 0 hours of "learning to drive".
How much is a beer after work hours at a given pub/bar?

One thing I hate about the majority of the US's urban centers is they are extremely touristy and expensive. It is common to be paying $6+ per beer (it's local but still) and that's not even on weekends.
>feel like they've got more stake in the platform; you follow celebrities to stay 'in' on the gossip, you follow smart people in some faux investment of intellectual capital, and you follow successful people because you think that basking in the starlight will impart something valuable to you.

Wouldn't a twitter bridge fix this? Then people could just fellow these people on mastodon or whatever
The bit about big red flags all around seems about right for comma, but I don’t think they’ve ever had an office in SV.

Pretty sure in 2016 Comma.ai was at 41 Santa Monica Way in West Portal.
No body blankly believes nothing can be changed, or believes everything can be changed. The two extremes are both obviously wrong. It's just important to understand what you can change and what you can't. So the starting point is about understanding how the world works, not just daydreaming.

Sounds like Seattle and Portland :( no longer the cities I once loved.
The article and numbers are right, it’s just not clearly worded.

I had this same question a couple years back when I read this stat, so I messaged the Cornell Lab Ornithology and one of their reps explained how these numbers make sense.

“We start with a population of breeding adult birds at the beginning of the year. They breed, and multiply, and then the population is "spent" throughout the year on deaths such as window strikes, pesticide poisoning, and cat kills. If the population could keep up with these deaths, we would see a net loss of zero. Unfortunately, instead, we are seeing less and less breeding adult birds at the beginning of each year.

So when we say "we've lost 2.9 Billion birds," what we really mean is, "We've seen a net loss of 2.9 billion breeding adult birds since the 1970's." Back in the 1970's, the breeding season started with about 13 billion adult birds. This year, we had about 10 billion. Throughout the year, they multiply to about 40 billion before they die back. Of that 40 billion, cats kill 2.5 billion.”
Well, when humans try to explain a culture that was alien to them they tend to use examples from that encounter. I can very well see the founder proudly saying "Look at this cool 10 million dollar office we have!", and then this guy latched on to that statement as being representative of their culture. When I work at an office I don't know what it costs, I doubt he would have looked it up if they didn't tell him, so this explanation seems likely to me. Of course to you that is not a good representation of the culture, so you protest here. Which is good, now we all know a bit more how to state things so others can understand it.
The aggregate environmental impact of those things are all quite directly related to population, yes. I don't understand what you're getting at.
They should (USB-C with DisplayPort protocol). But HDMI group makes a lot of money on patents, that's why DP adoption is so slow in that segment.

"Key fob remote start has nothing to do with an app, nor does the car or the fob communicate with any servers managed by Toyota."

It sounds like this $8/month charge is for the allowing you to use remote start locally presumably over RF.
Yes, a significant proportion of all scientific research is not reproducible e.g., "Over half of psychology studies fail reproducibility test" https://www.nature.com/articles/nature.2015.18248

Non-UHT is widely available.

What has become a lot more common (and is often not clearly labeled) are stronger pasteurization levels that make unopened milk stable for a few weeks refrigerated (it's also sometimes micro-filtrated).

Before, softer pasteurization was the more common variant, which then has unopened ~1 week of refrigerated stability. Less offered now, although a good supermarket has it.

(These two categories are not fixed standards, so within them there's also variations in how processing is done exactly)

Raw milk (i.e. never heated >40°C, unfiltered) is also available, but with stronger requirements on how it's handled before sale and thus often hard to get, especially if you're not local to a farm producing it - obviously transport has to be quick.
It's fine, but the first few episodes absolutely will not hook you. It's very bland and generic at first.

I don't buy it.

They're literally engineering shit people don't need now. In virtually every product. And doing UI redesigns on things that change the user friendly UX, often breaking it.

I remember looking forward to browser updates, OS updates, the next generation hardware whatever. Things used to actually get better. I actually got a new phone the other day with a newer android version, never mind that there's a fucking hole in the screen, when I changed my screen brightness there was a deliberate animated delay to the brightness changing with the slider. Seriously, who the fuck is making decisions like this?

90% of things don't need to get more complex. A touch screen on a fridge, speakers in your car that get louder as you accelerate, Bluetooth speakers that need software updates, these are not improvements to the products in any real way whatsoever.
> I suspect you might be experiencing the classic freshman medical student syndrome.

That is hubris.

I have skimmed the action reports for policy makers from the IPCC.

A humanist approach to the nihilism and fatalism around climate change might be that the urgency presented is what is required to make progress in a time frame where we don't meet horrific consequences. In other words, bias and exaggerate so that we take the action necessary, and not get complacent or have a "balanced" point of view - which may be sufficiently as bad as ignoring the problem altogether.
Google blocks specific sites from appearing in Google search results.
Depends on the details of course but I'd expect an autonomous vehicle to be much much better at not hitting things. Especially stationary objects.

People are bad drivers because they have limited vision, limited attention, are emotional and are easily distracted by all kinds of things.

Just because an autonomous car has a similarly bad track record as the average human, doesn't mean it's ready for the road.
NGE is stylish and powerfully emotional, but isn't profound. At all. It is at its best when it's about eldritch horrors and giant robots.

There was a great story in there somewhere. It's a shame Anno wasn't interested in telling it.
I'm at the point, unfortunately, that I would believe the statement of a retail corporation over a journalist's report. It just seems more plausible to me that this journalist is spinning sordid, dreary car thefts into a tale of monstrous corporate incompetence; than that Hertz representatives consistently and callously make false police reports.
+1. Also WSJ is good. The Guardian website, not the paper.
Gift cards are the ultimate anti-consumer scam:

- If you buy a gift card that isn’t worth enough for what you actually buy, the store “wins” because you will probably make up the difference with cash and they then sell you something you either would not have bought at all, or bought somewhere else.

- If you buy a gift card that is worth more than whatever you end up buying, the store “wins” again because they have received the full value and you did not.

- If you buy a gift card and by some miracle it is exactly matching the cost of what you buy, the store “wins” yet again because (a) you were still only able to purchase items from that store, and (b) the entire time you were holding the card, it was slowly losing value because only bad things could have happened: the store might have stopped offering what you wanted, the price could have changed, or heck the store could have simply gone out of business. Meanwhile, the store was already paid by you for the card (in yesterday’s dollars) so they could do almost anything with that CASH, including putting it in a saving account, and end up better off than you.

Simply put, it is never, ever, ever to your advantage to have a gift card. Ever!! Cash is better in every possible way.
The point of RSS is to not have to scrape the sites.
You have to appreciate logical leap it takes to argue that because a policy was implemented during a pandemic, the policy obviously scales to routine traffic and zoning.

I'm all for taking back the street but this argument isn't going to convince anyone who wasn't convinced already.

Also this has to do with progressive policies exactly how?
This is amazing. I tried extending this to remove all pinterest results too (the real cancer of the internet) but the filter doesn't seem to be working.. Any tips?

This seems to be the salient part of the article:

"You can make partial functions rigorous by defining them to be relations rather than functions. A relation between sets A and B is a subset of their Cartesian product A × B. A function is a relation such that for every a in A there exists a unique pair (a, b) in the relation. A partial function is a relation in which for every a in A there is at most one pair (a, b) in the relation."

Does this equate with a partial function being one-to-one and onto? [0]

It's also not true at all. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29548136 for what the original complaint is probably about.
As cheesy as it sounds, afterwards I sort of felt like the bad cg (and copy pasting assets) was intentional. Maybe it was meant to contrast the eva specific parts with the rest of the regularly animated sequences with human characters. The scene that made me think this way was near the end the giant Rei head exploded into a bunch of 3d eva models (about 2:20), where afterwards they decided to animate the contrasting scene with humans without 3d, which was probably so much more work that I felt it must have been intentional for some reason.
Basic economics says prices are set based on supply+demand not cost. Cost of course affects supply, but right now the main housing supply limiter in urban areas is restrictive permitting and to some degree lack of construction labor (a nationwide echo of 2008). As a result increased construction costs mostly come out of landowner's returns.

Most efficiency standards actually lower monthly housing costs, including your two examples of solar panels and natural gas bans. Note that the solar can be built offsite, and solar + electric is a natural (hah) combination.
Well, Tesla's autopilot has been slamming into emergency vehicles on the sides of highways for years and the feds have finally gotten around to investigating things.

Their full self driving beta requires constant vigilance because it likes to randomly veer at pedestrians and light poles.

As a sidenote, it's irritating that Reuters keeps calling it an "accident." It was a crash.
On F-Droid, there is an app FFUpdater. It checks for new apk versions of various forks of Firefox and updates them (automatically or by notifs, user preference).

I guess you could fork it and change the apk it searches for - you'd end up with something exactly like what you want. N.b. i haven't looked at the code, maybe it's a rats' nest. But i'm optimistic given the simple domain. :)
Since we're being pedantic, meth is not speed. Speed is a street name for amphetamines which aren't quite the same thing.
> Yeah, by maybe 10-20% generation over generation.

So my counter-example disproves the absurd claim that any population limitation or reduction requires or devolves into genocide.

> If your target population is 5% of today, and your strategy is to use the natural population decline of Western countries, you aren't getting to those levels for a good 15-25 generations. 400-700 years or so.

I'll assume that math works out for those stated assumptions. So what's the point?
The observation actually strikes me as the ground truth. Inflation feels trivial on the coasts and brutal in the interior.

But I don't buy the explanation.

I think a better explanation is that the midwest and south have benefited from being in an incredibly low-friction trading bloc with a few extraordinarily productive states, while not having to compete for resources (land, goods, or services).

A variety of forces have caused that trading bloc's productivity to more uniformly distribute.

It's easy to sit in MO and say that we need "more Main Street less Wall Street". Until a hundred phd-holding 40+ year olds who've been making mid six figures and barely affording rent on 600 sqft shoeboxes for the last decade show up in on Main St and are willing to best any offer on their preferred houses. In cash. Suddenly "spreading the riches" sounds more like "oh shit I have to compete with all this wealth and education that used to be concentrated in midtown manhattan/SFBA".

Turns out that the massive rent/service disparity in the USA was unsustainable. But, instead of prices "normalizing" on the coasts, the middle won't stay cheap. Not sure there's any good solution to that, other than the midwest and south becoming more productive and better educated.

This round of Inflation is just the midwest's snow white main street realizing what gentrification means.
You've been using HN exclusively for commenting on one political issue. Using HN primarily for political battle isn't allowed, and single-purpose accounts aren't allowed either. Both of these things are against the site guidelines—the first one explicitly (as you'll see if you read https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html), and the second one implicitly, because single-purpose or agenda-driven accounts are obviously not using the site in the intended spirit of curiosity.

Would you please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and use HN in the intended spirit in the future? That means commenting on a variety of topics that happen to gratify your intellectual curiosity—not just one political struggle that you feel strongly about.

A bad driver risks his own life so he has good reasons to try to improve. A bad self driving car program doesn't risk the founders life so he has no reason to improve it if regulations doesn't force him to.
>The earliest papers were in some ways more readable than papers are today. They were less specialized, more direct, shorter, and far less formal. Calculus had only just been invented. Entire data sets could fit in a table on a single page. What little “computation” contributed to the results was done by hand and could be verified in the same way.

This is not even close to true. Look up Tycho Brahe's observations, and he's only the earliest I can think of.
Don't ever take dating advice from women. What women think they want and what they actually want are two different things.

Women find power attractive, and your confidence is a huge indicator of power. Toxic/objectifying men tend to have more confidence hence why they have more success.

You can be confident without being toxic but it really doesn't matter. If she's super into you, your objectification of her takes a far back seat and is only really a factor if she intends on marrying you.

Also this article just conveniently leaves out the importance of height and physical attractiveness. Typical for a woman to leave that out. Anyway... People who have an easy time dating also happen to be taller and physically attractive... coincidence? No.

One influences the other. You have more success if you're attractive. More success makes you more confident, which makes you more attractive.

Actually, that’s a popular misconception. The Japanese word for hedgehog is made up of components that transliterate to “needle” and “mouse”, that is true. But the originally intended interpretation was always “Mr. Hedgehog”.

Helpful.

The things that don't change I refer to, I really mean human nature, and I really think that doesn't change much. Some people just want to watch the world burn, etc, some people are greedy, narcissistic, lazy, psychotic, etc.

The cause for optimism, is that we can change society to better deal with the nature of the beast, bring out the best, and suppress the ugly. There's lots of work to do!
TYL there is a strip club in portland that denomates in two dollar bills. It also happens to be "Vegan"
> you would reach out, ask permission

The specific case was "maintainer fails to respond", which implies that one was reaching out. It doesn't really matter why they don't respond, perhaps the maintainer died, or they are burned out, or maybe they just don't like you.

> Downright forking while ignoring the original authors and then putting it out there as an independent alternative to theirs? Well, that's just entitled behavior.

Entitled by the very license the maintainer attached to the software. But if you meant "entitled behavior" as some kind of indicator of privilege, well, everyone has that entitlement per the license, so I'm not sure if that really counts as being entitled.
Honolulu has the most ridiculous transportation system imaginable. Continuous traffic jams of single people in cars commuting all to the same few places (and huge amounts of real estate devoted to roads and parking), in a setting where their cars literally can’t go anywhere else (it’s an island!) or fulfill any of the supposed advantages of cars vs. other modes of transportation, and where the primary industry is tourism – visitors who obviously can’t bring their own private vehicles.

Scrapping 3/4 of the private vehicles there and investing in frequent high quality public transportation would make the city dramatically nicer.
Well, it wasn't driverless. The driver was arrested for DUI. Its not even known in that article that autopilot was turned on.
It seems very weird that people are attributing this to progressivism. It's bad governance perhaps, but it has nothing to do with California's social policies. Since when are open container laws "progressive"?

It's as if the author realized nobody would read his article about patio dining, and went back and made it about how progressivism is destroying patio dining instead, because... California.
I never said nor implied the latter. I’m literally just taking about how pigeons are doing surprisingly well despite bird populations decreasing.
Personally I find it funny that on the same day there is an article about Quora, there is also a link for plugin for blocking search results(https://github.com/iorate/uBlacklist). Immediately, I thought, oh that would be great for the spam Quora links. Although lately I’ve seen those far less, they still piss me off every time I hit one. ;)
If you are hiring from a pool of candidates who, by nature of their skills and relative wealth, lie at the 90th percentile or higher in their communities, does it really make that much of a difference? Yes SV is a bubble, but hiring people living in a similar bubble in Omaha isn't going to move the needle that much IMO.
