Yes totally didn't mean to discount it. It is getting quite diverse and growing more so everyday - which is a good thing.

I'd only point out - for a first generation immigrant with a tech salary and tech stock options - all things being equal - I'd imagine the vast preference would be to go where there are 99ranches and Din Tai Fungs and high end chaat at a density where its in proximity to high end housing versus being in the traditional "ethnic" end of town.

It will change for sure as tech slowly disperses - so it should be fun to watch.
Our stuff isn't worth endangering their lives, but in many people's calculus, a paycheck is. That's one reason we have workplace safety laws, because a pure market solution would lead to people doing unsafe things.
No that would never work. The flat earthers will all upvote each other's bullshit.

And you are missing a fundamental concept in that for most fields of science there are very few objective facts or proven truths. If I write a post on Newtonian physics should I be "fact checked" for misinformation if I fail to state that it's only an approximation and doesn't always give correct answers?

It used to be an accepted "fact" in medicine that peptic ulcers were caused by stress and spicy food. Except that fact turned out to be wrong. How would Drs. Warren and Marshall have rated under your scheme?

I think I completely understand the article but still think that it's editorializing facts. Why exactly would professionals feel differently? If they had done some investigations themselves and found a series of poor contractors that all reported similar issues, I think we could take this as much more concerning. This looks like a director from a single company and a few anonymous researchers at the same company came forward with bad practices for 1000 trials.

Also, as the article points out, investigations were performed at other contractors. Wild speculation, but that could be that Pfizer didn't even need a full 44k and they just ignored 1k? (For example, they concluded the trial with 41k getting a second dose.)

I can appreciate that being confronted with a statement whose essence is “you’ve been wrong for years and don’t get other peoples jokes” leads to validation-seeking behaviour.

Nevertheless you’re still looking to support what is now an intentionally negative misinterpretation of dry humour.

My point being, just because others are wrong too, that still doesn’t reflect badly on the author, or the source material.

This is also why I don’t joke on calls with Americans.

Or it means that FDA is not doing its job properly. It could be do to lack of manpower or whatever but the fact that the FDA did not inspect the sites in question doesn't mean that the complaint wasn't justified. It just means it wasn't investigated, so no clear conclusions can be made.
There is a bumper sticker that spells out "Coexist" with symbols from each of the major religions [1] and I liked it at first, because I identified strongly with the idea. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that there are people who see that symbol, and they don't see themselves in it--they don't see the Cross for example, and think, "Oh, a Christian like me!". Rather they see "Hippie-everything-and-nothing-ism," and other it immediately. I think there is a deep resistance to "foreign inclusion" in our human psyche. Trust goes slow.

>So, yes, vaccination may not prevent being infected, but for sure it helps immensely in avoiding being hospitalized and shortening the infection, which does actually translate in less people being infected.

On the flip side, infections in the vaccinated who are asymptomatic are more likely to leave the house, simply because they have no idea that they're sick. Perhaps they end up at a restaurant with their mask off and turn into a literal super spreaders (if we're to believe Omicron is 4X more transmissable). This was always a potential problem with vaccines that only reduce symptoms and don't prevent transmission. If Omicron is indeed mild and highly contagious as officials in South Africa claim, this could be a huge issue with anyone vaccinated.
I have the Ergodox EZ, so similar to the Moonlander. It took me about a full workweek to use it without looking at the keyboard, and another week to type at a competent speed. That said, after three years of ownership, I still can't type as fast as I can on my MacBook's keyboard (last I checked: 65wpm with the Ergodox, 109wpm with the MacBook).

Still totally worth it.
Precisely this. Whether the authors of the legislation intended it or not, this mandatory requirement for continual human input excludes a system from their oversight.

”An autonomous test vehicle does not include vehicles equipped with one or more systems that provide driver assistance and/or enhance safety benefits but are not capable of, singularly or in combination, performing the dynamic driving task on a sustained basis without the constant control or active monitoring of a natural person.”

The FSD Beta, as it is supplied to end users, is not capable of performing the dynamic driving task on a sustained basis without the constant control or active monitoring of a natural person.
There is another way to get it to stop alarming. Don't look at your phone while you're driving.
There's a function layer. So you can still hit the function keys, just have to hit another button first.
> The [NEON] Wasm SIMD implementation is 65% faster than native! But what is perhaps more interesting is that the Wasm scalar implementation is only half as fast as the Wasm SIMD version instead of the 3x seen on x86. Perhaps v8 doesn’t have enough optimizations on the Wasm SIMD to Neon front.

That's almost exactly what I'd expect from an optimal compiler.

Graviton2 has 3 scalar integer ALUs, and 2 128-bit. Scalar code can do 3 intops per cycle, x4 vector code can do 8. 8/3 is +67%. Intel processors have typically 4 scalar ALUs, and 3 vector units. 12/4 = 3x.

Zen has 4 units for 128-bit vectors, though until Zen3 not all units can do all operations, so the speedup in AMD land would be 2x-8x depending on application (although code doing brief 128-bit vector work would be limited by Zen having only 1 vector write port).
One thing I've noticed always seems to amaze non-programmers as they're taking their first foray into using computers in more advanced ways (programming, scripting, even just using a command-line) is how little room there is for typos. I've frequently heard things like, "if you forget a single semicolon the whole thing doesn't work!" To me, it just seems obvious that if you make a mistake, the computer won't know what to do with your code. But maybe it doesn't really have to be that way.

So my guess is that a programming language created by a non-programmer would be extremely tolerant to typos. References to non-existent variables and functions would resolve to the nearest existing options. Semicolons, commas, parentheses and brackets would be strictly optional. This seems to be closer to the way people naturally use language.
So, in summary Tesla "fully self driving" does not actually have the capability to "fully self drive." It seems like the hazy marketing around this feature hasn't been a great idea.
cool it with the anti-semitic remarks
I don't think it means what you're suggesting, but maybe I'm misunderstanding you. The previous paragraph in the RFC says:

> Applications using this specification can impose additional requirements upon implementations that they use. For instance, one application might require support for encrypted JWTs and Nested JWTs, while another might require support for signing JWTs with the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) using the P-256 curve and the SHA-256 hash algorithm ("ES256").

In the next paragraph it says:

> Of the signature and MAC algorithms specified in JSON Web Algorithms [JWA], only HMAC SHA-256 ("HS256") and "none" MUST be implemented by conforming JWT implementations.

They're making the distinction here between JWT implementations (i.e. libraries) and applications that use JWT. Nothing mandates that applications must accept the "none" method. The earlier paragraph gives specific usage examples in which a small subset of options are allowed by the application. That is the intended use.

In this later paragraph they're just establishing a baseline of encryption support in libraries; i.e., what is the minimal set of choices that a library can offer to an application. Applications are still expected to actually choose.
Yes, let's do it the old fashioned way where a bunch of journalists at "actual news sites" who think they're smarter than me but aren't, and have no subject matter knowledge whatsoever, decide for me what information I should get to see.

Responding to your edited-to-add: This is pretty much where I'm coming from now (except I did buy into Ethereum and a few PoS chains to see what the fuss is about, finding nothing of any interest to do there besides just hold onto the tokens, like glorified angel investments).

But responding to your "but I truly believe there something in the works, being obscured by an unfortunate amount of noise": One passage of the article that really struck me was this one:

> When an engineer looks into a problem, they will at first gather the requirements. What does the system they need to build need to do and how and for whom etc. Afterwards they will look at existing technologies and see which technology and platform fits best to the requirements.

Notice how that implies the availability of "existing technologies" such that the engineer can choose whichever "technology and platform fits best to the requirements". There is a circularity to this argument! How do any of those existing technologies come to exist if all engineers are merely choosing existing technologies upon which to build the thing that meets their requirements?

I'm still incredibly unsure about this, but I think the scriptable blockchains (ie. the ones that aren't Bitcoin) could well be the "existing technology" for some set of requirements (either in the future or in the present but in a way that is unclear) that I lack the vision to see.
The article addresses that explicitly.

Basically, the DMV is saying "oi, if you're testing a system that's capable of driving by itself, you have to follow certain rules"!

Then you reply "No, we're still testing it, and it requires human supervision, so it's not capable of driving by itself, so the rules don't apply!"

> "FSD" is aspirationally an automated driving system. The name unequivocally communicates Tesla's goal for development, and the company's "beta" qualifier communicates the stage of that development. Tesla intends for its "full self-driving" to become, well, full self-driving, and its limited beta release is a key step in that process.

> Tesla's "FSD" has the "capability to drive a vehicle without the active physical control or monitoring by a human operator," but it does not yet have the capability to do so safely.
> I don't know if this is a consequence of how risk averse the world has become, but I believe it's a source of competitive advantage.

It is a consequence of bad laws and lack of labor law enforcement. It is par for the course to hire a “manager”, give them no ability to modify a budget, pay them a meager $40k salary so that they qualify as an “exempt employee” so you do not have to pay them overtime, and then give them impossible metrics to meet.

Voila, you now have a fall guy, and can save on labor costs because they are willing to work 60 to 80 hour weeks at no extra cost in exchange for a steady paycheck. And they will do questionable things, like the linked Amazon example, without the employer needing to put it in writing giving the employer plausible deniability.

I even know many immigrants that were lucky enough to immigrate to the US a few decades earlier do this to their own relatives who chain immigrate after them.

Very simple fix - make the minimum exempt employee salary $200k or even more per year.
6ix9ine NFT Project Deemed a Scam by Fans Who Bought In
Yes I did mention that technique in my comment upthread. But there is a more simple stupid way: just perform the computation somewhere else, on some server you own, one some server you rent, on some service you rent... From the POV of the device in the field it doesn't really matter.
I'm a little surprised at that reading, but fair enough.

I admit I only skimmed it, but I thought the point was "the employer" is not a homogeneous entity. "The employer" therefore doesn't make the wage decision. Managers with some extreme perverse incentives do.

What's bullshit is the idea that as soon as an enterprise does something inefficient, boom, they'll be outcompeted. They might, eventually, if no market failures or regulatory capture exists. So in reality, large and even small/medium organization with a successful pattern can tolerate a lot of bullshit.
Not going to use it (I already use pass) but this is great and I'm glad there is another option out there for people.
I'm not sure that computes for me. Can you explain in more detail how refusing service outright is better than providing ethical service?

To trigger GDPR, you need to be collecting PII (of EU citizens).

What interest would a student focused and student run campus newspaper in West Lafayette, IN have in people's PII (let alone the PII of European Citizens) in the first place, and why would they be collecting it?
>"a pure market solution would lead to people doing unsafe things"

This depends on what you mean by "a pure market solution", as most workplace safety laws were put in place to make things more predictable for employers, rather than helping employees. The 'old system' in most places involved one-off lawsuits with somewhat unpredictable outcomes.

Approval voting always struck me as the best way forward, though I am certainly no elections expert.

Doesn't require ballot changes. Doesn't require anyone change their voting style or keep track of which is 1, 2, etc. Obvious simplicity where you vote for whoever would be acceptable to you.

Whoever is the most acceptable to the greatest number of people gets elected. Really good at weeding out extremists and favoring folks that can appeal to the biggest tent.

High crime and political instability are California’s biggest issues. Fixing “the markets”, be it the housing market or Wall Street, is unlikely to be a panacea for this. America’s problems go much deeper than markets, and it may already be too late to course correct.
> A government which bans someone from speaking is preventing someone from talking to you.

I didn't say "prevents someone from speaking" - I specifically said "censors the press" because those are two very different cases (and because that's the exact language that GP used). A government could censor the press but not prevent private individuals from speaking to each other, so it wouldn't technically be preventing people from speaking - but it's pretty clear that it's still engaging in censorship (which was the point I was making to GP).

> If I am banned from sharing information such as classified intel

Classified material isn't covered under free speech. Free speech protects sentiment and expression. Classified information isn't sentiment, it's factual data, and it's protected for national security reasons, so as long as the material is classified for that reason, and not, say, to hide the embarrassment of a government official (which is illegal in the US at least), it's pretty clear that it's not free speech.

> A public square is one which is funded and governed by public means

I disagree. A "public square" is a forum for expression that appears to be open to all, styles itself as a public square, and has a substantial population in it. The CEO of Twitter, for instance, implied that Twitter is a public square[1].

> As a matter of prescription, why would we ever want Facebook to be the financially responsible party for public town squares?

Aha, that's a good question - we don't! Or, I don't - the problem is that it is a de-facto town square already, not that I want it to be (a regulated) one. Top of my wish-list is for it to not be that - for the DoJ to take it apart and/or force them to make it trivially easy to move your Facebook data somewhere else. (I suspect you share this sentiment) Unfortunately, because the DoJ appears to have lost its fangs over the past few decades, we're stuck with the Facebook behemoth - so, if we're stuck with it anyway, it's morally right for them to adhere to free-speech principles.

I suspect they don't do 3-D Secure because they're storing the cards on the first transaction.

Subsequent sales are marked "card on file" which is priced in its own way and often doesn't require the same info (for example, no CVV, but often also no 3-D Secure) I wonder if they're willing to eat the higher cost of a non-3-D Secure initial transaction for the appearance of frictionlessness? Or that their volume is so huge they can demand concessions for rates?
Correct, I am describing exactly that.

And to your point, I would agree, but only insofar as the water that people are not being denied access to is not privately owned.

For example, you taking water out of the ocean, desalting it, and then consuming it is perfectly fine. Nobody owns the ocean. You haven't violated anyone's property rights. Me being forced to give you water that I have paid for would be a violation of my property rights, thus it would be deemed a positive right, and rights in the US are not positive.

This is the same for housing. Nobody should be denied the use of their private property as they see fit (zoning laws would be a consideration upon purchase). Thus, housing is a negative right in that nobody would stop anyone from setting up a tent or living nomadically on their own property. This already exists today!

The problem comes into play when people try to institute positive rights on housing which either force someone into an involuntary transaction through providing time/resources to build someone else a house or via forcing them to allow people to use their privately held land as a camping site.
Yeah, this exactly. Wonder why there were no "misinformation" bans for the MSM companies that repeatedly reported on unconfirmed, and later disproved rumors about Russiagate.

Refueling for what? The realities of orbital dynamics mean that Mars isn’t a convenient stopping place on the way to say, the outer solar system. I don’t have the numbers in my head but the delta-v requirements to intercept, match velocity and land negate any potential refueling benefit in my understanding. (Not to mention the added complexity vs a straight shot, this is a lot to pull off even in a sim like KSP)

You might be able to make an argument for refueling bases on Mar’s tiny moons with their negligible gravity wells for Martian missions themselves but that’s about all I can see.

What am I missing?

> Joules-Thomson effect is what allows for refrigeration

I don't think this is true. The "simple" model of refrigeration taught in highschool is just a carnot cycle running backwards, and this can be modeled with an ideal gas. The author of the post covers this the section on "the Thermodynamics 101 Answer"[1], where all you need to drop the temperature of a gas is to let it do work on the piston.

That's not to say that JT is not useful, just that we can explain a theoretical refrigerator without it.

Not enough carbon, that said somehow siphoning CO2 from Venus turning it into dry ice and using a mass driver to shoot it at mars whilst completely nuts and well beyond our technological reach might actually work.

It would also be a 2 for 1 terraforming effort. Then the only thing you need to do is figure out how to spin Venus to break the tidal lock. And if you set up your mass drivers correctly you should be able to give it some additional spin at least.
