Do they? I don't know and I am really curious: Do you have any source for this?

> It is stored forever in publicly accessible places (a large amount of it, for free).

Same for telescope arrays' data, but the same problem: How to get the data from its source into your number crunchers? When I know the pipeline, I can simply calculate the answer, but when I need to explore/play with data, I will inevitably run into IO roadblocks.
That's a great answer, thanks

Bumped into a chemtrails evangelist at the local office supply store.

Rural US, people believe everything out here. The more sparse the population, the stranger it gets. I don't think this is a new phenomenon; cultists were quite the thing in the early 1990s, essentially before modern web browsers. Although dial-up BBS and Usenet had provided a forum for odd bits for a couple of decades, I'm not aware of a universal search engine that could easily lead people into the Revealed Truth.

The 1990s focused the crazy, as gonzo eschatology was not post-Y2K-compliant.

If you can tolerate evangelical tent meetings, that's also a vast ecosystem for remarkable creeds.
Sudoku is pretty generic, but crosswords have an element of authorship that is important. Writing a good crossword puzzle takes talent and skill and the people making crosswords for the NY Times are going to be better than most people probably.

No, that's precisely my point -- maybe the richest person wants to hide that they paid nothing in taxes. If you can ask about the richest person, then they can't.
Agreed. When I looked for my first job I entertained calls from 3rd party recruiters. They were completely worthless and a huge waste of time. On top of that, they sold my info to other recruiter/spammers. I started getting tons of calls from robo-callers and other recruiters whom I never contacted. Had to change my phone number.

Now I only leave my email on my resume. And the only recruiters I'll ever talk to are ones who directly work for the company I'm applying to.
Social media gets constantly criticized for views expressed by individuals on their platforms (often by NYT or other media!). Why shouldn't we be able to do the same to traditional media companies?

permanently? Probably impossible with current technology. Your best bet is still an underground bunker. If it has to be moving you'll need something like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowpiercer_(TV_series)#Premis...
Its also worth pointing out what feature set you get with "Autopilot" and even how well those features operate varies a lot depending what country you are in. In the USA, it's gone quite a bit beyond just cruise control on steroids, and will now follow _any_ road no matter how curvy so long as there is a painted center line. In other words, you can turn it on outside schools, in complex urban neighborhoods etc and it will just keep following the road until you disable it or the painted line stops.

In many European countries, the system is restricted to a much more traditional lane assist and does not follow tight bends like this. I have a Model 3 with the standard fit "Autopilot" (not FSD) in US and have tried same model in the UK.

If you follow Bjorn Nyland on YouTube (popular electric car YouTuber), he also recently discovered how much more advanced "Autopilot" is on the American cars when he drove a US import in Thailand and compared to his previous Norwegian Tesla, despite feature being labelled the same.

This all makes having any kind of reasonable discussion on the internet about it really, really hard.
Does this product/service currently exist as bundle, an easily connected assortment of services, or something that needs to be created? If so, I love to know how I can help make this a reality!
>I think that you are missing the degree. One thing is to create a reminder that we are in a pandemic, another it's to think that a government in the shadow is using control mechanisms to brainwash the population so they can take over the country.

Then its an idiotic, bullying and frankly authoritarian "reminder" that should be thoroughly rejected as a piece of government policy. Forcing people to do something you the controller largely believe useless just to emotionally "remind them" that they should submit to a series of control measures is not something worth applauding.

It's akin to a parent randomly punishing a child in minor ways for no good reason just to remind them who's in charge. That would be considered abusive. From government it's okay?

Allowing the large and hard to replicate systems of human organization that are American corporations to collapse would be far more damaging than anything else.

Game theory and personality dynamics strategy applies to C-levels too! For some industries, companies, etc you want to be a Holmes type of total confidence. It depends who your market is, and by that I mean the VC's you want to attract. If they go for the "arrogant boy/girl genius" schtick then that's what you do. If they want a humble intellectual, then that's what you do instead. Conversely, you may alternate between the two depending on your audience. Maybe you're humble in HN comments, but maybe a monster in VC meetings. Look at Elon's larger than life "boy genius" PR persona. It works really well. He may not be a total fraud like Holmes, but his shoddy car AI has killed at least a couple people in cases where if the car had a lidar-like system, that truck or whatever would have been identified instead of seen as part of the sky.

Also Cruise wants to license to automakers, not make their own car, so they have to act like trustworthy partners in their PR. Elon has his own car company and instead is antagonistic and belittling to automakers because he thinks there's a competitive advantage to it. Any positive sentiment towards his competitors is potentially lost sales for Tesla. Capitalism encourages zero-sum thinking and rewards zero-sum strategies.

CEOs are marketers and salespeople primarily and as such know how to play different roles for different situations. They code switch just like everyone else. The role isn't for everyone in tech because a lot of tech people don't have the people, political, and acting skills for it.

tldr; capitalism doesn't work well with honesty, in fact it works best with dishonesty. You don't have a personal relationship with a CEO or company, you're just absorbing marketing delivered via executive personalities. Personalities are perfectly valid marketing tools in capitalism. Take that as you will.

I have no problem with concurrent writes and wal mode on a recent build of SQLite. Perhaps you are standing up a new sqlite connection per operation or otherwise sharing between separate processes?

With exclusive access using a single connection in WAL mode, I can insert tens of thousands of rows per second on flash storage no problem.

Something that is not widely announced is the fact that SQLite serializes all writes by default, so you should share the same connection instance as often as possible.
Yeah I’m a bit surprised to see the problem phrased as “car needs to understand complicated signs to deal with 55mph road having variable speed limit to 25mph during school times” rather than “city needs to figure out how to not have a road with highway speeds going right next to a school”.

I don’t want to make a more general argument about changing things to be easier for self driving cars. Merely that higher speeds should be for roads between places rather than the kind of streets used to access ordinary buildings like schools.
It's fascinating to me how many smart people fall into this trap.

> This is one of the most frequent complaints and I find it ridiculous. C has string literals that encode zero-terminated strings, but you don't have to rely on these zero terminators.

Just a quick question. Is there somewhat up-to-date guide, list, book, whatever of good best practices for C, or maybe small libs for simple string handling, and common pitfalls (checking for over/underflows etc.)?

It's nice that iOS 15 added WebExtensions support to Safari. It's not so nice that the feature only works with Safari, and that other browsers like Firefox are excluded even though Apple mandates that they use Safari's browser engine and does not allow them to "download, install, or execute code which introduces or changes features or functionality of the app".* It's also not so nice that a developer must pay Apple's $99/year developer fee to keep a browser extension for Safari in the App Store, the only way to publish browser extensions on iOS.

> I'm not sure I've ever heard any of the original Detroit artists reference Jamaican music as an influence

Agreed, I've never read anything from Atkins and his progeny regarding Jamaica at all, frankly.

For those interested, though, the cross-pollination of "dub techno" that happened later is quite wonderful (and makes for great programming music). Moritz von Oswald brought reggae to Germany in the 90's and a dubbed out and cold brand of techno flourished from it. I recommend artists like Moritz's own Basic Channel[1] and the newer Echospace[2]

I guess cat doing cat things i.e. hunting does not require much intelligence, just sharp senses and nimble body.

This is indeed very weird species. On one hand you have your regular cats which are going to shit themselves if you ever wash their cat bed and the scent is gone, on the other one you have quite brave, sociable and intelligent breeds that have no problem being walked, or even being a travel companion.

As we have pretty much have figured out dogs, it's an embarrassment we haven't figured out cats.

Some of the replies to this comment make me crazy (should I disclose here I know this commenter?).

There’s some useful information in there, that the distribution of roles behind recruiters change as the jobs become higher level. I didn’t know that. And he hedged his statements all over. And then people still reply like he’s saying if you don’t pick up a cold FaceTime call from a recruiter while you’re in the middle of coding you’re going straight to hell.

I see this pattern so often. I only hope there’s this silent readership thinking “oh, interesting. Thanks.”
It's not the same. The police officer is a moving speed limit restriction so cars driving at the normal speed will catch up to it and slow down and they will continue banking up for as long as the car is driving slower than normal.

You wouldn't get that banking up with everybody following the limit.

I hereby do fully deny that there is anything the least bit clickbait-ish about this article, which is super interesting and all the more an achievement for its brevity. It demystifies what is the most annoying thing about trying to code the client side of DNS, and the fact that it uses the same DNS message parsing library every other Go programmer does isn't of the slightest import --- if the article hadn't used miekg/dns, some other lowbrow comment would be taking the author to task for reinventing the message codec wheel.

The world needs more simple recursive lookup examples, and absolutely does not need more explication of DNS message parsing, any more than than an article talking about etcd's Raft implementation would benefit from a hand-rolled implementation of Protobufs.

Yikes, everybody.

Shopping at Amazon has become such a blatantly user-hostile experience. More than any company I've dealt with in recent memory, they seem to tolerate just about any unethical behavior - allowing fake product reviews, facilitating sale of counterfeit merchandise, and evidently withholding charitable donations if you don't allow them to pester you via your own device.

It's to the point that shopping at Amazon feels dirty to me. Why support a company that's doing everything it can to transfer your well-being to Jeff Bezos?
