That’s ridiculous. Ruin multiple lives for a product that failed.

But now that I say that. Was it Auto-pilot which legal is cruise control? Or was it Full-Self Driving and the car made a decision?
Legally it’s a matter of man vs machine of it is FSD. Is man wrong if there was even the slightest attempt to correct the machine’s decision after the fact? If it is in fact legal to allow said machine to act while supervised.

It could also be a matter of arguing current training and regulation for FSD, is regulation of drivers sufficient for what now is a new mode of private transportation? Should autonomous vehicles be allowed to be owned yet, do they really fit under the same umbrella as normal license? Or should they be special like a CDL or MJ licenses?
What about a GPS based alert.
Ask HN: Big 3 Consultancy?
(Throwaway) Considering a position at a tech arm for a Big 3 (Mckinsey, Bain, Boston) consultancy, from a Series D startup.

Interested in the idea of working on different projects and industries. Unsure about WLB and types of projects, or depth of the work I guess.

Does anyone have any experience working at a place like that in an eng, PM, BA, design capacity? Really curious on any insight the community can share.

If you used your legacy Gapps domain to authenticate, do you think they all provide easy implementations to migrate your Google-one-click-authentication account to a same-email-new-local-password account? Hell no.

Yes, so obviously an endeavor nobody would undertake without an eventual buyer. Nobody with a hungry kid is going to care about an obvious "FOR SALE AT CVS ONLY" sticker on their cheap food. It's called a "fence" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fence_(criminal)
Sigh. Yeah, thanks for the reminder.
Do you really believe the financial and other incentives are greater for the people pushing _against_ vaccines and Big Pharma as opposed to the politicians, “experts“, and doctors who are pushing the vaccines so aggressively to the point where they are okay if you lose your job if you don’t take them?

That is a bit of an upside down view of the power structure in society. Pharmaceutical companies are literally making hundreds of billions of dollars off of their products. These companies are not exactly innocent. They have very little morals and are generally okay with mass suffering as long as their profits are increasing (look at the opioid epidemic as an example).

If anything, I think it is much more likely that the reverse is happening. The scientists, doctors, etc. are designing studies in a way to paint a more favorable view of the products that they are looking at. They are cherry picking data to show that they are good while ignoring any data to the contrary. It looks a lot more like they are in the pocket of Big Pharma to me.

In addition, there is a social stigma where if you take an unpopular view here, you will likely be seen as a “conspiracy theorist”, or face the possibility of losing your job, friends, family members.

Most of the people against Big Pharma promote living a healthy lifestyle, taking supplements, going outside, getting sunlight, eating well, exercising, etc. It is not like they are trying to sell you some expensive products.

When governments all around the world are providing billions of taxpayer money to pharmaceutical companies who have legal indemnity and can’t be sued if people have adverse reactions to their products, and those same governments are forcing their citizens to take the products (often against their will) in order to be allowed to participate in society, it is probably time to start questioning who the “good guys” really are here.
I think this is why people mostly talk about watching foreign-language animated works and soap operas/dramas: dramas will have either action or talking heads, but not usually both; and animation can be paced stylistically, so that each shot lasts long enough "by design" to read the subtitles, even when it would be over in a split second in reality.

But I can't imagine watching, say, a foreign live-action sketch comedy show subtitled. I'd have exactly the bad experience you're describing.
In theory that could be the case. Not in practice as long as Putin runs it.
For me, reading the subtitles takes away from the experience much more than any kind of loss in authenticity does. Keeping my eyes on the text takes away from the visual.

I think that’s a misleading statement to make.

While this could be theoretically true, I imagine, in practice, no one would choose to throw up after every meal without having a disorder.
But that's the whole point. These thefts aren't people going hungry feeding hungry needy starving mouths. You have some people wanting to believe it's only people who have no other recourse to dying --they have to steal. No, most destitute poor people do not steal. They do without, go live with relatives, friends, beg, sell blood, dumpster dive, etc., but they're not gravitating toward UP boxcars. Those are run of the mill opportunist criminals.

We need to link to Stack Overflow.
Starting with PostgreSQL 11, B-tree indexes can store additional "non-key" columns in the index. These are kept in the index alongside the sorted key columns. This can avoid expensive sorts in certain query plans.

It's not perfect. Stale table statistics sometimes forces PostgreSQL to check table pages to confirm that rows are visible to the current transaction. Index-only scans don't support features like expressions either.

MMT DOES make sense, as long as you are careful to qualify who it's making sense for. If you are a congress person with a very short term time horizon MMT makes a whole bunch of sense. Incidentally, our country is run by congress people with very short term time horizons.

If you are anybody else besides maybe a defense or infrastructure contractor MMT does not make any sense.
Couple thoughts:

- The hard part about subtitles is not translation it's contextualization. Languages are not variable replacements and words have different meanings based on the context of the sentence. Languages have nuance, phrases, and slang unique to their cultures which further adds difficulty.

- coupled with the above, permutations can get large with translated dubs. Which subtitle are you supposed to show? Most translated subs are done off the original audio track and the dubs are done separately. So for example with an English show, the English subs match the English track, but the translation will be off for the Spanish audio track. And the Spanish dubs will not match the Spanish subs either.

- lip sync on dubs is a hard problem for many reasons ( full face and body emotion, how words are said in the native tounge, etc..) and will significantly improve the viewing experience. You can do creative things like have fewer full face shots to help with this. It's also important to get the audio mix right so it doesn't sound like an extra track. Keep in mind you now need more videos to cache and store and the ability to swap video streams when you swap audio streams.

- animated content offers other approaches than leveraging nn/deepfakes because the assets are already rigged. The use of game engines offers some really interesting opportunities here.
Isn't Eastern Ukraine already a warzone due to the rebel attacks? This is what I gathered from the reporting around the time MH17 went down.

However I know the news can sensationalise things so this is why it's nice to hear personal experiences.

Back in the mid-90s, consumer CD burning was pretty new. At the time blank CDs were about $1 each, but it wasn't uncommon for the disk to become unreadable in less than a year because of degradation.

There was however another option -- gold plated CDs. These were $10 each, but supposedly lasted at least 10 years without going bad.

My entire dorm floor shared the cost of one box, and we'd use it for our most precious files -- our MP3 collection.

I still wonder where that disk is and if it still works...
This is not the first of it's kind: see https://rosettaproject.org/disk/concept/
Yeah this is a great point that gets missed a lot.
One idea: Your existing, identified leverage point or complex of leverage points is logically and intuitively applicable elsewhere, the leverage is clearly to some comparative advantage, and the other anchor points or interaction points tying you to your current efforts are either easily pivoted off their current space or easily moved out of the future work plans.
If you can afford it, buy a speaker system with at least a dedicated center channel. Dialog is almost always mixed to the center channel in 5.1/7.1 mixes. Which means that you can just turn up the gain on the center channel speaker, while leaving everything else down. The result is magical — it's like turning down the "background music" slider in a video game :)

That's simply how I understand it given a lot of public information. The best example of that is how Putin squandered all the inherited technological potential of USSR. Instead of investing in technology he simply wants to rob everything he can get hold of. His attitude to progress resembles Stalin's dialogue with Vavilov about genetics.

So no matter what inner circle he has, it can't be called anything but stupid.

Both are happening. Google meet has live auto subtitles that are pretty accurate. Sometimes I find even as an English speaker I am able to understand through the compression better with the subtitles on.
Sure, but the point is that if you choose to do it, then your behavior is not a disorder, it's just a weird choice that you're making. Just like drinking heavily doesn't automatically make you an alcoholic.
there’s such a call… but it’s dominated by petty local prejudices and weird beliefs, like all politics is. germans want to go all wind and solar, but they also don’t want any of this stuff near their homes, and they don’t want nuclear because it’s so dangerous, etc etc
Actually good rich public school district not having gifted program is a feature not a bug. If you have money and kid in 70-95% IQ percentile (typical for upper middle class) you can buy a house in Palo Alto, Short Hill or other rich suburb, send kid to school and not worry about gifted tests, school selection, lottery. Your kid will be fine with motivated students, etc. There will be dumb kids but overall class mix is really good (bottom 25% kid in Palo Alto is 80% percentile nationally).

The moment you introduce gifted program magic disappears and all “dumb” kids are in non gifted program with ambitious parents worrying about tests, everyone prepping for tests for 5 year old kids, etc.

District like Redwood City has much broader range of kids (from working class to rich techies) and gifted program is the only way to accommodate the range of abilities. In many districts gifted programs are very comparable to regular programs in good schools districts and is veiled attempt to keep white parents send kids to otherwise failing school.
Is this a VPN? How does it compare to, say, NordVPN?
If I hadn't had gifted classes to keep me intellectually stimulated, I probably would've been lighting things on fire during class in elementary school. I guess I would've found "the challenge in the mundane", but it most likely would've been through destructive and antisocial behavior.

I don't recall we even needed a lot of resources or personal attention or special student/teacher ratios in gifted class--they just set us loose with computers and told us to write logo programs (it was the early 90s), instead of being stuck in regular class trying to figure out how to cut myself so I could feel something other than bored.

I would've ended up getting a phd with or without gifted classes--I didn't need it to get a jump start on career success or something like that. I needed it to keep me sane.

>2. NATO agreements are fair or ridiculous depending on the outcome one expects. If a member is attacked, that is a declaration of war on ALL members. Consider a rogue state/leader member picking war with a nuclear power and escalating to the point of no return. What then?

Everyone talks about Article 5, but you can't forget about Article 1:

>The Parties undertake, as set forth in the Charter of the United Nations, to settle any international dispute in which they may be involved by peaceful means in such a manner that international peace and security and justice are not endangered, and to refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force in any manner inconsistent with the purposes of the United Nations.

A state in violation of Article 1 might not be granted Article 5 protections.

The situation in Ukraine currently is that Russia violated the Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances by fomenting a rebellion in Crimea in 2014:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapest_Memorandum_on_Securit...

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov basically admitted violating the Memorandum when he lied about its content:

>In February 2016, Sergey Lavrov claimed, "Russia never violated Budapest memorandum. It contained only one obligation, not to attack Ukraine with nukes."

https://twitter.com/RussianEmbassy/status/692321689254830080

Of course this is not consistent with the actual text:

>The Russian Federation, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the United States of America reaffirm their commitment to Ukraine, in accordance with the principles of the Final Act of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe, to respect the independence and sovereignty and the existing borders of Ukraine

Now if Russia wanted to argue that admitting Ukraine into NATO would violate the BMSA, they might have a decent argument... if, that is, they hadn't flagrantly ignored it and denied that it even says anything about independence in the first place.

> A black start would have required carefully rebooting a few power plants at a time and using them to jump-start others, thereby restoring the grid piece by piece. It’s not a matter of flipping switches. The steps required for a black start are numerous, complex, and delicate. No one knows how long that process would take, because no one has ever needed to do it. Magness said it would have been weeks at least.

I understand that it's a challenge to maintain 60-hertz frequency throughout the grid-restart process. But I'd like to know why exactly it'd take weeks instead of hours to restart the grid.

I'm deeply confused, why would the US unwinding QE and raising interest rates do anything but good for the USD?

It's not like there are other countries out there who both have the capacity to be the worlds reserve currency and are financial role models. If the US gets serious about fighting inflation, we might face a recession, but our currency would be very strong.

Let me ask you this, if the world does wish to replace it, what currency will they chose? Really. Look around. Everyone is printing money.
Alcohol and gambling are both heavily regulated. Gambling was illegal in almost all of the U.S. until about 50 years ago, and it has only recently become widespread. Alcohol was entirely banned for a number of years and even today there are counties where you can’t buy alcohol. Even where you can there are many restrictions on hours of sale, licensing, etc.
Right, future earnings are discounted by interest rates meaning if you're a company whose earnings are heavily weighted towards the future, ie a growth stock (think startups who lose money but have huge valuations based on potential future earnings), you can get decimated by rate rises.

On the other hand, if you are a consumer goods stock paying a dividend, your value is much more based on the cash you can generate right now and you aren't particularly susceptible to future discounted cash flows affecting your valuation.

This is with all easily disproven conspiracy theories. Yes, there are many stupid people that believe these things because they saw a video and it was a simple explanation that appealed to them or because someone they like said it once, but some of the flat earthers are smart.

People believe things for emotional reasons. People often, for example, find religion after the death of a loved one. People also want to believe what others in their community believe, so belief can take hold easily once seeded into a community.

We all like to think we are rational, we are not.

The spread of Russian in Ukraine fits this model (coercion to establish dominance, then continued spread without coercion) very well. Urban areas in the East and Center became Russian-speaking through Soviet measures like mixing nationalities at work/army to force them to use Russian. There were other coersive measures like the central planning not providing not enough Ukrainian media (only folk music programs on TV for example) and limiting the classes available in Ukrainian in some regions.

Now the "language of inter-nationality communication" is so entrenched, that Ukrainian needs government support to incentivise media and businesses to use it. As everyone understands Russian nowadays, and few people know English, companies that serve the CIS market actually promote Russian better than the government promotes Ukrainian.

To talk about the elephant in the room, note that the politics don't correlate perfectly with the language situation on the ground - on one hand there are quite a few Russian-speakers that don't want Russian as an official language and also plenty of pro-Western people want Russian to be co-official.
Don't forget about the false sense of security science fiction gives us about our civilizations ability to survive calamity, or spread beyond earth. And also the false sense of power super-spy fiction gives us over government security forces (and likewise a false sense of how gov sec forces function).
