public transit.

No seriously - people aren't gonna not use their phones. But they will let someone ferry/train/bus/drive them while they use their phones (read, watch, create, etc.).

In the USA, when you force everyone to become a driver out of necessity, you get a lot of people who aren't interested in driving, driving on the shared road resource. If they had a viable alternative, they would use it instead - especially one that allowed them to keep using their phones while in transit.

That explanation you linked is a whole lot of words, and after reading it I am less sure of what I thought the Second Amendment means than ever. Its meaning is anything but obvious.

I say this because there is nothing about self-defense in the text of the Second Amendment, and yet the SCOTUS has held that self-defense is one of the rights that cannot be infringed. It's not at all obvious how a statement about the necessity of a well-regulated militia has anything to do with personal self-defense with a handgun. I can see a world where the DC handgun ban was upheld by the SCOTUS because long guns (for the well-regulated militia) were still available and personal self-defense isn't covered under the wording of 2A. Of course, if you bring the zeitgeist into view this seems absurd, but in a vacuum where the 2A is the only reference it makes logical sense.

i think driving tech will get there but right now i wouldn't trust it with my life. Humans are basically short sighted, they basically rely on their short term sense of induction and gain a sense of over confidence. Oh it works once? ok i feel a little better, works twice? ohh even better, works for the 10th time? Hell yea, let me whip out my phone and watch videos while the car drives itself. I think for my i will trust this amazing thing in my head.

Interesting, I built an app that does something similar with respect to converting forecasts to trades, allowing forecasters to trade their predictions (in hidden market) for points (not real money).

They're still a somewhat small fraction though. The average crash kills more occupants than pedestrians, by a lot.

What I'm getting at is that while we should improve car vs pedestrian design, I don't think pedestrians are a reason to say teens shouldn't drive.
Different tax treatment. Locking up to buy something with the loan doesn't expose you to gains.
The idea that banking activities can be automated and that therefore people will be able to ditch banks and do their own banking without resorting to professional banking services is unreasonable, for the simple reason that if this could be done, banks would have already done it, since they have every incentive to reduce costs. They would have laid off all the staff and replace it with a smart contract. They haven't done it because it can't be done, because banking has processes which are labour-dependent and can't just be automated away easily or at all.
For most of their stuff 60nm provides enough computing power and as for actual electricity usage, that's obviously dwarfed by the "move 2 tons of steel at 150kmph" part :-D
Here is a blunt question: Why do you care about being able to migrate your apps before the end of Q1 2022?

Is your management expecting you to do it faster? Then you need to put your management in touch with the managers you're talking to.

Do you think your own longevity at the company / bonus / performance review will be impacted? Then you need to talk to your management and make them aware of what's going on and that you have gone above and beyond to try to make this work but are still hitting a brick wall.

Do you have nothing else to do at work and you're stuck? Then find something - either by talking to your management, again, or by asking around.

Do you just want to feel the pride of a job well done in making some company's VM deployments slightly more compliant with policies set by people you clearly already dislike for good reason? Then take a step back because you've spent too much of your life living for this startup and not for yourself.

Finally someone brings this up. Here in Belgium the rules around Islamic headdress were addresses by a law that says nobody can cover their face in public except during carnival and when riding a motorbike (full face helmet), thereby avoiding any explicit references to religion (unlike in France where it caused a sh*tstorm)

I was waiting for the anti mask crowd to challenge mask wearing in court by citing this law.

No idea if it's been amended or not. But it definitely used to be illegal to cover one's face.
You just simply escalate to whoever is asking you to the parent company's platform. And lay out the consequences of it not happening - it's as simple as that.

When your manager asks "why isn't this done yet" you document what you've said here, and say you're blocked. Any sane manager would escalate and see why it isn't done. If it truly is a company priority, it'll get unblocked. If it's not a company priority, it'll continue to be blocked, and you'll work on something else.
This is straight-up fiction. Or a conglomerate of seperate incidents combined into one whining piece of hyper-emotional propaganda. Either way, it doesn’t make me feel sorry for anyone.

Bauxite Liquefaction (Nov. 2021)
This is pretty cool however Disney has been filming this way for at least a few years using a tool called The Volume[0], so I’m not sure if it’s a revolutionary as they intend it to be. It’s a great way to film since the imagery can be changed and re-rendered on the fly and the screens provide accurate light reflection for surfaces.

1. I wonder how much of this still holds in a potential future world where machines are making decisions in most aspects of life already.

2. It doesn't follow that you can't have some recognized authorities within decentralized finance to negotiate fallback cases. For instance, the role of banks could become merely to supply information related to human authentication, not most of market operation.
I'm sorry to hear about that. My condolences, and I hope that the juice is delicious.
Since I don't see anyone else mentioning it here, I thought I'd call out Zvi.

With all the constant noise around covid coverage, it's been such a huge relief that Zvi has been able to provide the excellent summaries that he does at least once a week. It's nearly impossible for every individual to spend enough time to parse through the deluge of information and parse the signal from the noise.

>While it is unclear how many offenders use PreCheck, a trusted-traveler program that allows fliers to avoid certain security-screening nuisances and wait in shorter lines, officials are hoping the additional consequence will have an impact. PreCheck eligibility is reserved for “low-risk travelers,” the agencies said.

I have to imagine the people who are paying extra and willing to fill out forms and go down in person for an interview and to be fingerprinted are not the ones being hogtied for ignoring federal law. I'm not against this, but surely this won't solve the problem.

Another mistake Tor tends to make is assuming 1 IP = 1 server. In theory someone could point 9,000 IP addresses at a single server. In practice this would be obvious when the bandwidth for it sucks, but it could easily be a single cluster of servers in one location with a bunch of addresses routing to it.

This doesn't explain why they wouldn't accept the offer of work from /u/lopkeny12ko. I've been in the same situation multiple times. Sometimes I've been allowed to do the work and sometimes not. In the cases where I was allowed to do the work, I certainly took longer than they would have taken, but the work was complete much earlier (months) than they would have done it, the quality was just as high, and the other group didn't really have to put effort into it. It was actually a win-win for everyone and resulted in products actually shipping on time. On the other hand, the organizations that didn't allow this were all basically operational disasters. This sort of thing was just one red flag of many.

I'd recommend /u/lopkeny12ko to either stop caring and just put in minimal effort or find somewhere new to work. It doesn't sound to me like they're taking advantage of your skills.
They could have put some fake windows to make it look normal. They do this with data center buildings in my city.

This case is not about people doing porn and regretting it. It is about fraud, blackmail, exploitation, and even rape. The “people need to think twice before posting nudes” whinging has nothing to do with the crime committed here.
The difference is that Kahn is a brown guy in an interracial marriage, and is presumptively not a “racist.” His main fault seems to be having insufficiently assimilated into white American sensitivities regarding race and culture—treating these discussions as third rails where the appearance of impropriety is as bad as actual impropriety. And that’s all I’ve seen in the aspersions directed at him—guilt by association and the appearance of impropriety. That’s unfortunate because he’s quite an insightful commentator on racial and culture issues in America.

I’m reminded of a comment you made the other day about different Asian groups not being equally advantaged in America, or something like that. That struck me as an extremely American framing—that’s not how the Chinese or Taiwanese immigrants I know would frame the issue of different outcomes between Asian groups!

Did Edward Snowden do something wrong? Because he is treated by the government like he did but he actually helped humanity as a whole. Your comment reeks of hardcore military shilling...
Completely agree. I would add, though, that there is no reason not to recommend improvements if you can think of them. You don't have to just accept that things take forever, are broken, and everyone hates life. It's not all that rare to find a good manager even at a big Org that wants to help improve things where they can. But if they reject your suggestions then the Zen approach is by far the best.
The main acting credits order in films is an interesting question as well which I guess could maybe be answered in a similar manner. Some films order actors alphabetically. Some by appearance. And some order the first N by some contractually reasoning, but then presumably the rest will be ordered less strictly, possibly somewhat randomly. I've always wanted to tackle the problem of trying to standardize the lists somewhat.

Just an example to explain what I mean. The film Bard Wire has an alphabetical cast list (so Pamela Anderson Lee, as she went by at the time, is mid way down the credits). Interestingly the "three actors" listed by IMDb has Anderson first, but then the next two are just the top two on the credits. It would be useful, to a degree, to try and figure out who those second and third people should be based on some metric.

What about the most traditional business of a bank: providing security and paltry interest for deposits, intermediated by the bank, as capital for loans. Now DeFi can certainly do each of these, but crucially the traditional system also decouples the risk for depositors. The return of deposits is NOT contingent upon the performance of the loans, by both regulation and deposit insurance. Is there a defi solution for a similar system?

Bingo. I've been through a similar situation, and what helped was realizing I 'won'. Unfortunately not a unicorn type win, but a win nonetheless. Relax, recharge, and then look for the next opportunity.

I think a lot the advice in this thread about navigating large company politics is missing the point a bit. I've heard entrepreneurs and people who like to work at start ups describe they don't do so because they necessarily like to, but because they have to. They are either bad at, or can't/refuse to deal with large company politics so head in a different direction.
Still a bit more difficult to implement than facial recognition, which is now trivial to set up with AWS Rekognition. Even Photoprism does a great job.
Geopolitical security considerations over geographic security considerations.
Many large companies are like this. Personally, I find it very frustrating. At one place I worked that was acquired, the teams decided to silo themselves off (no outside patches) with SOC2 or something or the other determined to be the reason. There were many parts of the system that I knew better than the teams themselves and I didn't have the commit bit. It was a nightmare and through lots of work I managed to get commit. It was successful for a bit but ultimately I was expending a lot of social capital and even if I took on full ownership for maintenance and delivered on it, the standards people hold for their own team are usually lower than what they hold for someone like that.

I left to go on to other things. The company was successful without me and I was eventually successful without them. I would have been unhappy there and they would have been overpaying me for what I provided considering their constraints.
For info, I was talking about this one:

Editors like visual studio IDE properly fold code so that it results in a compact layout once it's folded. I would guess indentation-based folding could be made more compact and not take unnecessary lines.

> That is, the value of autonomy far exceeds that of any benefits of heteronomy We believe that we always gain more with autonomy.

Unfortunately, it's simply not true for everyone. I'd hazard it's not true for most... That the set of people who can really make a computer dance if the architecture is open is a tiny, tiny set. The net harm were that to be the only option (i.e. if Apples and Microsofts were removed from the equation) would be significant.

I have older family members that I must continuously run tech support for. Most of my time is spent pruning their choices to the set of only things they want the machine to do because a wider space leads to confusion and inability to complete tasks (when it isn't being used as an exploit vector by malicious actors taking advantage of the flexible nature of a general-computing architecture to phish them).

None of this is to say nobody's architecture should be open and mutable, and I fight hard against any attempts to make closed the only option on the table. But most users aren't power users any more than most drivers want to replace their own spark plugs.

Autonomy and heteronomy should, ideally, both be options on the table, and I see no value passing moral judgment on those who adopt either. For some, a self-run architecture is the freedom of the frontier; for others, it's the freedom to get eaten by wolves in the jungle.

There is; we find and prosecute their human creators if they commit a crime. Every intermediate step is just smoke and mirrors. You wouldn't say, "Well, we can't charge the gun with anything..."
You're missing it entirely. They want "just a screen" precisely so that they can use whatever they want on it, including filemanagers if they wish.

Moreover, they correctly understand what the TV industry works so hard to obscure. It's computers all the way down. If you're gonna slap a computer on my screen, then let me use it as a general purpose computer. If, however, you insist on putting a computer on my screen that I hate, then make it easy for me to avoid it.

And of course, we know why they don't do this -- the low cost of the TV is subsidized by the data they sell to others gained by spying on you.
Permanent lifestyle change is never easy. It would be great if it were a one-time thing that you could be done with, but for most people, it's a constant mental strain for the rest of their lives.

It's not impossible; some people do it. But it's not easy to change how you think about food and your body, especially when you're surrounded by your old habits every day.
That is exactly the point: pride in having succeeded at doing X using Y is not informative. It is an indulgence. "I graduated from Harvard" may be interesting to your Mom and, maybe, strangers still at Harvard, but not to us, and would be unwelcome on the HN dashboard.

If you published a thesis, that thesis topic could be interesting, but not that Harvard accepted it, unless they shouldn't have.
Even without ligatures, Perl code makes you say: "WTF is this?" more often than any other language I have tried.

Matt Levine: There’s Inside Information in SEC Filings
I'm amazed that people always seem to link restriction on encryption and guns.

Encryption has a legitimate use in normal society, guns (apart from sport) are a tool applicable to a specific subset of society, easy to misuse or accidently use with extreme consequences.

I know (personally) of a number of cases where people have been killed accidently by guns, and more where anger/emotion has caused things to get out of control. This is not something that happens with encryption.

Simply said, they are not the same thing, stop trying to confound the issue.

What compression does IA use to store websites? Using a 2x better compression will allow them to store 2x more websites/content.

I am doing some compression research, and would love to help IA in any way I can. There are some amazing SOTA compression algorithms available now.

And if IA ignores images/video, and focuses only on text, they can store an insane amount of websites at a very low cost.

The amount of people on HN nowadays that are okay with getting nothing useful done is striking.

Have you had any thoughts about how to improve the indentation engine ST uses to handle the common "switch"/"case" statement style? As I understand, it would mainly require a way to unindent 2 levels at once when typing the closing brace (or just getting it to match the open brace line/position) and for the first `case` to not unindent, just the later ones (which to be fair, may already be possible with some creative meta scoping and tmPreferences fun, though perhaps just not easy to maintain).

e.g.

switch (something) {

case one:

return;

case two:

foo();

break;

}
