Mapwith.ai works by tracing satellite imagery. No data is added into OSM until a person manually confirms that the road and building outlines match the satellite imagery, adjusting the outlines if necessary.

While the Google Maps incident you linked to was tragic, using AI to accelerate road tracing before the outlines are confirmed by a person shouldn't be any worse than having the person trace the outlines without assistance.
I used to print a selection of my iPhone pictures every few months or so, but the print shop went under and now I’m stuck :/
I am a coder. I get this 100%. At the same time, there is a big assumption that whatever the current task of a given coder is working on is more important than any possible interruption.

I like to phrase it more like: "Be aware of the cost when interrupting a programmer, and make sure your interruption is more important than that cost."

That isn't unique to coding either. That goes for basic interactions with our fellow human beings. If you are going to interrupt someone, you are putting your needs above their current task. Maybe that is appropriate, but take a moment to ask yourself the question before you act.
"Cloud-native" youth seem to have forgotten a huge chunk of computing
Running Windows 10 on anything other than an i7 and SSD setup is a nightmare.
It continues to amaze me that so many people in my profession (software) don't know that Git is "decentralized".

GitHub et al have taken over so ubiquitously that many developers I know have no idea that a bunch of what they do isn't even Git, and a bunch of what they don't do, is.

Instead of "Making Windows 2000 Usable in 2021" I'd like to see something more along the lines of "Making Windows 11 Usable in 2021". Past attempts at doing this (oftentimes) produced shady utilities (or illegal ISOs) that would hack out "essential" Windows components. If done right, open-source, developed out in the open, I could see this being a hugely successful endeavor. Imagine being able to use a modern Windows system (officially) that had no bloatware or the things we hate about modern Windows. (yes, I know I'm almost describing Linux and MacOS here)

To pull this off, I see a utility (kind of like Chocolatey) with modules that can be run to disable certain annoyances- and changes that can always be fully reverted if necessary. Create some global modules such as "gaming-only" that removes all the bloat needed except for gaming.

Yes and the CFR in people 20 - 30 appears to be about 0.01% (very roughly).
Obviously some subpopulations are more or less vulnerable. Averaged over the whole population it generally comes to somewhat under 1%.

Check out the CFR for RSV (a common cold virus) or influenza in people over 80. Viruses that almost never incapacitate let alone kill healthy younger adults can often kill the medically weak.
Yes, undeniably so, but the same applies to non-Asian groups.

Nigerian Americans have the highest # of PhDs per 1000 people. Albanian Americans (white) are among the poorest Americans, while Russians are among the richest ones.

As usual, there is a lot more diversity within the big racially defined groups than among them.

Ha, yes! We seem to be on the same line here. Supplying furniture with optional attachments seems like a good middle way. I would never make it mandatory to do so though but it's great to have the public discourse leading to producers giving consumers the option.

Once kids go from toddlers to starting walking and understanding the world around them though I think it's very important to teach them to be careful about - but actively use - things like knives, scissors, hot stoves etc. Then you don't have to constantly worry about them and they'll grow up to be capable and responsible individuals.

So yeah, I suppose my initial reaction was more towards the latter point of helicopter parenting, not the first one of protecting toddlers.
What matters is the time it takes from when I start a request until it completes. Some of my code isn't long running, in that case the hotspot doesn't to me anything, but it would be wrong to contrive a long running example to show that java can be faster if hotspot engages. Other process run for a long time and java may have an advantage.

The person was commenting on renting vs owning, so I assumed they were talking about the house they lived in (vs renting it out to someone else).

The guilt is definitely pushed strongly in Catholicism and probably the worst part of it. But I don't think Catholics are too literal in their interpretation of the bible - in fact I think they are generally more rational than most other denominations. For instance, Catholics generally accept scientific explanations for evolution and the origin of the universe unlike many (most?) protestants.
They've generally been "solved" as well inside of the US also, via debit cards, online/mobile banking, and ACH.

“slow the speed of transmission — like washing your hands”

Which was thrown out as a transmission mechanism months ago.

A few good points, but the gist of the article is that information that doesn’t correspond to the expert consensus shouldn’t be disseminated because we should check our critical reasoning at the door and simply defer. No thanks.
XFCE gets you pretty much all the way there.
The UK is the third-biggest importer of goods from the EU after the US and China. It's an enormous market for EU goods which the EU most certainly needs. The UK is also the only nation in the geographic area except France with anything like a world-class military (although it doesn't compare to the US in that regard). It's also the second-biggest financial center in the world (and sometimes first depending on the relative position of New York and London).

It's not as though the UK will be holding out a begging bowl because the EU decides to be difficult. It will, however, have to develop new markets, which will take some time and cause some issues, including the cheese issue in this story. There will be ups and downs as the situation finds a new balance.
You don't notice the lag unless you've used a MacBook or Linux. If you ever upgrade to an i7 you will see a performance boost and your current system will feel slow. So running Linux on the same specs as Windows you'll see that Windows is slower and after a while as the bloat happens the slowness will become even more apparent.
This is a good point, thanks for the correction. It's not even that Ubisoft could theoretically put the same restrictions on a public chain, they are already actively putting the restrictions on a public chain; just on a different one from Ethereum.

The same mechanisms that blockchains use to verify ownership and to trace ownership history are the same mechanisms that Ubisoft (or any other company) can use to block NFTs or add restrictions around them. But of course, the companies don't need to be so clumsy about how they restrict the tokens, they don't need to have off-chain monitoring and coordinate to block NFTs. They can also just code this stuff directly into the smart contract. Being on a public chain offers no guarantee that individual smart contracts will be decentralized.

Public chains like Ethereum/Tezos that implement smart contracts also inherently give companies tools to use those smart contracts as DRM and centralization mechanisms. In a weird way, the only thing that's decentralized about Ubisoft's NFT system is the enforcement of their DRM and the liability when a token gets stolen, lost, or hacked.

As for spotty rewind, like with Netflix, another comment might have the explanation (root cause); streams are broken into individually encrypted chunks. So of course there's lag (latency) when jumping around the timeline.
Ideally you should get one wired router, Cisco and Juniper are famous. Depending on your configuration, you might want one 24-port switch as well. 10GE support is going to be a nice future proofing but adoption is still lagging. Add as many wireless APs as necessary per each 10-20ft radius to cover and you're good. ok I'm 82.5% joking. I'm not doing anything fancy as that, just an EdgeRouter X and a whatever AP.

Are you sure it's cloud account? All routers need ID and password but usually it's local and only ever stored on router itself.
All of these are solvable problems:

* With short-hop flights. Swap out batteries at the destination, and slow-charge

* Endurance. You don't want batteries discharging below 20%. In an emergency, you do.

* Take-off power surge. Super-cap, ground effect, or plug-in power supply during take-off.

* I don't think the crash requirements need to compare to commercial aviation, but to cars. This is competing with cars.

I'm not saying Joby will get this right, but I think eventually, someone will.

A likely mistake seems to be trying to get this off-the-ground in the US regulatory climate. It'd be much easier to do this in a friendlier regime, more tolerant of occasional crashes, get experience, and move into Western markets after the concept is validated. California seems like just about the worst place to start.

As an investment, if you think they have a 1% chance of becoming Tesla, that merits a $10B valuation to be risk-neutral. The investment levels don't seem crazy. Personally, I wouldn't place their odds at anywhere close to 50%, but I'd place them at much greater than 1%.
It will! You can save Twitter threads to Alfread just like any link and it will make it into an easy to read article which you can also highlight.
Job is more of a story about motives, and uses the "wager" (which one could see as an abbreviated account of the rebellion of the devil) as a background for the main question: Is it possible for a man to submit to God & truth, for their own sake, rather than because he expects success/reward? The answer we are given is yes, it is possible, even when times are hard, and that it is often not the victim's fault when times are hard. These moral questions were the primary subject of the book.

The hardening of Pharaoh's heart is described both ways, as God doing it and as Pharaoh doing it. The idea seems to be emphasizing agency, rather than the reverse: God took some actions to free the Hebrews. Pharaoh responded to these with (varying degrees of) opposition, anger, and pride. God's actions were the proximate cause, sure, but Pharaoh was not a puppet.

For Sodom, the dialogue ends at 10 because, as with Noah, we then get down to the number of the last remaining righteous (or less-bad) family, and they are commanded to leave. The indication (made explicit elsewhere in the Bible) is that God would not destroy even one righteous along with the wicked, when it's a direct action. In the Gospels, Jesus then answers another charge related to this, when he says that things like a building collapse or other random accident can and does happen to both good and bad alike.

Ezekiel and the other prophets had it rough.

Babel is about pride and evil culture, not about feats of engineering.

The fig tree was a metaphor for Israel: "All leaf, and no fruit". Not a good day for that plant, but... It's a plant.
> Users report that my web app is sometimes slow.

One wise move is to validate that your app really is slow. Do you experience the same slowdowns? If not, it could be network latency, which is completely dependent on where your ends users are working.

I work with many rural end users, and we have noticed that specific areas of the country tend to be where we get complaints of slow apps. We've worked with ISPs in that area to identify and correct old hardware on their network, which improved performance of our app.

If you can reproduce the slow behavior, by all means, follow everyone else's advice. But just like you would reproduce a bug before fixing it, reproduce the slowness.
I do some time sensitive work with clients. It's time sensitive because there are often hard deadlines or deadlines that are created and set 25-48 hours out. Clients are often in different time zones.

This is the first time in my career where I have had push notifications for work email on my phone. I don't love it. Mostly because while many of the emails are not time sensitive once I got in the habit of answering things when they come in instead of batching emails (what i've previously done) then every email seems more important and its easier to answer than to know I've got a non urgent email I need to answer at some point in the next 24-48 hours.

I write all of this to say... Not everyone can turn off work email after 5pm.

Ammonia is dangerously toxic if released indoors. Outside, NH3 is buoyant, rising away from leaks as fast as it evaporates. Besides its fertilizer and feedstock uses in the millions of tons annually, NH3 is already in heavy use as an industrial-scale refrigerant.

For those millions of tons of NH3 handled industrially, 1153 incidents is very small.
I don't think that works with HDCP, usually you get a big green box or something
TEE is an environment with hardware backed attestation, you run a piece of software in the "black box" to do things like key generation etc.

My educated guess, having used TEE/TrustZone for keys is that they could update the payload (the "Trusted Executable") with a new one to resolve the issue.
Since you have past experience in debugging and working on other languages, you wont face much problem with python. The issue you might face with is adapting to framework or other similar tools used in python projects. Python reads pretty close to english, but there could be some surprising bits of code which might be surprising (list comprehesions, idiomatic code, weird decorator functions etc).
So am I correct in concluding that you sold a bunch of your modular hardware and continue to use mainly software now? If so what software do you use besides VCV rack and what if any other (non-modular) hardware do you use
Mikrotik is nice too, if you need a bit more, I would check it out. I have been using one at home for a few years. Fantastic software and hardware but more on the advanced side.

It's not the "correct" term if you know that the recipient thinks that it means something else. (All communications happens at the receiver.)

It's dishonest because they think that you're promising something that they're not going to get AND you know it.
That's why I phrased it as only taking effect after a legally-valid notification/warning (or maybe a couple). That way honest mistakes or ignorance of the law doesn't get you in trouble, and penalties can slowly escalate. There's little harm in the occasional illegal clause slipping through, after all - it's the norm that we want to change.
Yeah after working for a boss who was obsessed with people being always on slack I decided I was done with it. I set myself to offline and in a meeting until sometime next year when I started at this job. No one has ever asked about it and its never been an issue. I hate that slack shows availability by default.
Why did this get downvoted? Do people deny the influence that good role models make for children or just extremely resent the fact that we don't have a good universal solution for that problem?

Attempts to measure the impact of lockdowns have produced a wide range of results. The impact is far from clear and there are numerous confounding variables that are impossible to control. The data has been manipulated for political purposes on both sides of the issue.
I disagree with your premise that a well-designed capability system is a complex feature. It's better described as an absence of certain complex features.
I would just like to point out that this is a forum called Hacker News.
Another problem with the methodology of this survey is that it seems to assume that friends, or lack thereof, stem from the type of education children are receiving. In fact, the issue has been the Covid lockdown/distancing, plus the resulting parental restrictions on the freedom of children to socialize. So the main cause of loneliness, as far as I'm concerned, is government policy around public health.

Definitely a great point. I think for a lot of people, the beauty in modular is in the letting go of the idea of a preset, and creating sound that lives today, but is gone tomorrow. For a long time, most of the music I made was very loop driven (also very quantized and static) — modular fixed that by rewiring my brain to work differently.

I don't think I'll ever go hardware only. The flexibility of software is just too good. But modular in general flexes different muscles for me, and I like that a lot.

It is a bit unusual and outright advocated against by almost all gurus, but I have sometimes done a spiritual practice aimed at developing unusual abilities.

In some cases this has involved overlaying my avatar in the physical world with a different image and taking on some characteristics such as charm, increased observation, better functional flexibility, etc.

Lately I got one which is outright ego-dystonic, not like me at all, often intrusive (sometimes it seems it visualizes me and not the other way around) and even a bit rude (to me), yet the challenge it is helping me with is longstanding and severe enough that I'm willing to put up with quite a lot.

The DRM technologies in place prevent screen recording from working, as far as I know. Or at least prevent it from working at high resolutions.
Yes, the form of the question is offensive.

Instead of unthinkingly downvoting the parent, consider this thought experiment: what if the question had been:

“Ask HN: What form of Christianity do you practice?”

Asking a large, diverse community such a question comes off as gaslighting those who are not part of the implied group. As such, it’s rude and offensive and has a detrimental effect.

It would be better to just change the form of the question to remove the problem: For those people who have one, what is your daily spiritual practice?
It could also be regional. My experience in Catholic churches in Texas was a lot different than the upper Midwest. Also, the attitudes of the clergy don't necessarily mirror those of the laity, and there are divisions within the laity as well. The people in the pews get their ideas from a lot of different places, ranging from liberal to evangelical. This was many years ago, haven't been involved for a long time.
