> Attempts to define "correct" usage that are not descriptivist are... arrogant. Elitist. Attempting to hold back the tide. And doomed to failure.

Well, there is a little more gray area around dead languages.

The Latin that gets used to publish 18th-century scientific papers is oddly close to the languages actually spoken by the authors in the 18th century. This means that, for us, 18th-century Latin is much easier to read than De Bello Gallico is, even though Julius Caesar is known today for the simplicity and clarity of his prose.[1] So there's room to say that while 18th-century scientific Latin is Latin, it's not great Latin and probably indulges in some constructions that a native speaker would have perceived as straight-out errors.

But to make this observation we have to be willing to conceive of some Latin as being correct and some as being wrong, even though all the samples from both groups are plainly identifiable as Latin. And while it's very clear in the example which variety of Latin should be "correct", and it's less clear when sampling two living varieties of a living language... the argument isn't really any different.

[1] Exactly the same thing happens in classical Chinese, where as time marches on, documents are still written in classical Chinese, and there's an obvious difference between classical Chinese and vernacular Chinese... but the later the authorship of the document is, the more likely its classical Chinese is to include some vernacularisms.
You can already make your own and get it launched if you have enough money. Cubesat components are pretty much off the shelf except the payload. And launch costs are to the tune of 30k per kg or so. I'm sure a lot of overhead / integration is added but it's financially possible for the well-off :)
> It looks like it sees the cyclist and goes right ahead into them. Anybody have an explanation for this behavior?

Its sensitivity was probably lowered because it would brake "too often" for a comfortable consumer product if it was sufficiently cautious enough to avoid hitting pedestrians.

This is what happened with the Uber self-driving vehicle that struck and killed a pedestrian[1]. The system detected the pedestrian as an obstruction, but Uber had programmed the system to ignore it because of "phantom braking". Instead of braking, it proceeded to strike and kill the pedestrian.

So, isn't this problem basically the mirror image of insurance? You pay for insurance in a normal year, and every once in a while you get a big payout. The energy companies need to have an incentive to winterize for a once/decade or less event. So, if they sell (i.e. are paid in a normal year) severe winter insurance, and the buyer gets half their windfall profits in a year when there is a shortage, and there is an informed (authorized to audit winterization efforts) buyer, then there is a market incentive.

Much simpler to just mandate that you have capacity available (and inspect and penalize if you aren't winterized), but that will essentially put a cap on the amount of solar, wind, and natgas energy production (until/unless you get much, much bigger battery capacity).
Yes, where I live, a lot of businesses charge you credit card surcharge of 2-3%. That’s $17 for a $16.60 priced item.

Human society is rapidly moving more and more "things" in the electronic realm. By necessity of technology (we're on HN for goodness sake!) the realm of property absolutely must expand into electronic representations.

Ironically, Bitcoin enables ownership to be established (at least as far as knowing the private keys = proof of ownership), in addition to the transaction path the electronic bits and bytes took in order to reach its current place of ownership.
It's an interesting time, because for the vast majority of the population, people actually WANT a situation where "capital ends up randomly allocated" - it's because most people have very few prospects in life, unfortunately. If you don't believe you have any chance of improving your status, why the hell not bet a bunch of money on bored apes and GME? As long as people continue to throw money at these things, the madness will continue. Even if the vast majority of them are scams, they are wrapped in such pervasive marketing that I'm not sure exactly how to convince people that this stuff is bullshit.
They could not prove that they are the ones who did the hack, only laundered the money.
I guess I'm being pedantic, but as a percentage of a whole, isn't 2% not a rounding error by definition?
Probably when the organization's admin does so. There are many institutions that allow alumnus to keep the Education account. With this change, they have to hastily notify the alumnus that this will no longer be honored, and they should move whatever important out of it before the account gets deleted.
I believe the faster orbital decay was part of the reason for putting them so low (on top of the obvious latency advantages).
Right, there is no guarantee it will ever work.

However, self driving is definitely guaranteed to fail if it can't be tested on public roads. And that's really the challenge here -- it can only succeed if society is willing to take the risk.
>I had this running in GCP and it was logging about 500k times per minute

it's in the issue. I'm not sure why you would run anything in the cloud without some sort of kill switch or major alerting. You are potentially risking bankruptcy unless you are able to get enough social media attention for them cloud provider to waive your bill.

The cloud providers should be forced to add a "kill my services at this cost point" feature
The ethical problem with Lord Farquad's line isn't that "some of you will die". It's where he says "but that is a sacrifice that I am willing to make".

Tesla's self-driving beta is unethical because most of the participants in this "experiment" did not opt in. Most of the people killed by Tesla won't be their customers. It will be the cyclist or the pedestrian that gets killed because the driver thought "full self driving" meant the car was fully driving itself. They didn't even know they were part of an experiment that day, yet they were the sacrifice that Tesla was willing to make.
Beats had 700 employees many of which were engineers/developers etc.
200 of them were let go before the acquisition.

Peloton has 14,000 employees. 20x the size.
There's not really much functional difference from my point of view between my heater and oven and fridge and lights not working because there is no electricity at my place due to a rolling blackout, and them not working because I had to turn them all off because the price has spiked so high I can't afford to use them.
I thought that it was due to some kind of interference from the title but it is interesting that it turns out to be increased friction from the atmosphere.

The only reason they are lost is because they fell too far down. How could they possibly fail to deorbit?
They are monitored by professional humans who take over in the event of any issues.

No offence to Tesla owners but too many of them don't take the limitations of FSD seriously enough.
It seems like what you really want is to ban cars and force everyone to use public transit.

That's just not realistic, not even in Europe.

1. The guard: He is not even there to protect the store. He is there as a deterrent. Nothing more. The number of people stealing from a guarded store is small, but not 0. The number of people killing the guard to steal a store is really negligible. A store without a guard will get stolen, however.

2. The doctor: This is a true one. I did study medicine and I figured that for most of the time, it is fine. But the doctor here serves an important emotional job to support these people. Some people freak out especially after they did some Internet research or a relative went through the same symptoms.

3. The futurist: Not sure why this one was included. There is all kind of crap in the media. None of it is true. No one is also hiring such a guy unless he is looking at the other outcome (tech that will make it). In that case, I think the guy will be worth a lot more than a rock.

I'm sympathetic to that, but in the end don't trust people to make decisions that are in everyone's best interest. Americans especially have proven again and again that they are too blinded by the false ideals of rugged individualism to see what's right. What's unethical is allowing tens of thousands of people to die every year because some people have a (understandably)misguided view of right and wrong.
What do you mean by "prescribed" here?

It competes with anyone selling point of sale hardware

No.

It allows sole proprietors, freelancers and the like to not have to get a Square reader to take credit card transactions. That's super convenient, especially for getting a deposit from a client, for example.

It also requires a newish iPhone (iPhone XS or later device), so there will still be plenty of iPhones out there that won't support this.

TFA says space junk shouldn't be a problem with the launch method they used

>SpaceX deploys its satellites into these lower obits so that in the very rare case any satellite does not pass initial system checkouts it will quickly be deorbited by atmospheric drag.

Square readers are dirt cheap, like $60 or less. If an employee wanted to defraud their workplace like that, it's no barrier. They'll be caught when the shop reconciles things.

Why would you need a special surround? And why is that an issue for you the consumer?
>The increases are partly due to commitments aimed at minimizing community disruption, such as distancing the train from the Cesar E. Chavez National Monument in the Central Valley and tunneling tracks near the Burbank airport, project officials said

that's pretty much the difference right there. China would go straight through the neighborhood and force people to move. Plus they wouldn't take years to do potential environmental impact studies
I can't bring myself to subscribe to (2) for a variety of reasons.

1. The post-2010 media has been as consolidated as it ever has been--around coastal elite / woke left ideologies and Democratic activism (I say this having only ever voted Democrat in POTUS elections for whatever that's worth). Granted, social media provides a diversity of opinions--even still, there are other factors.

2. The post-2010 media unanimously and widely publishes high-profile, objective, and trivially verifiable falsehoods (a few from memory): characterizing the Google Memo as an "anti-diversity screed", the coverage of the Nicolas Sandman still photo, the coverage of the Rittenhouse saga, the coverage of the Michael Brown shooting, etc. Note that all of these errors support the same woke left viewpoints (as opposed to random errors). There's also a long tail of more subjective issues ("why does the media keep bringing up racial disparities in police shootings without exploring obvious follow-on questions?").

3. The post-2010 media landscape includes reporters and entire publications who rather proudly consider themselves activists, who insert themselves into their stories, and who loudly broadcast their biases (typically woke-left biases) on social media. This is a stark departure from the 20th century journalistic ethos.

4. The academic fields which became openly activist have similarly experienced a degradation in public trust, while the more objective fields have retained much more trust. This mirrors what we're seeing in the media.

All of this seems to boil down to a failure to pursue neutrality in my view.

I suspect the tight 20th century Overton window was a result of 20th century epistemological institutions' pursuit of neutrality. The institutions were much more fact-based and opinions began to converge around facts.
> I dont think any reasonable evaluation could call macOS 'crap overall'.

Would it not depend on the workload? I hear a lot of web developers and content creators who share this sentiment; fair enough. But there's a number of consumer markets who would indeed drag MacOS for lacking 32-bit support, decent container compatibility or a package manager. It's overall less compatible with software than Windows or even Linux, and if you want to do development outside of the Apple ecosystem or besides the web, getting a proper development environment up and running is an exercise on the treadmill of neverending maintenance. It certainly doesn't look appealing to a gaming crowd or people writing software for Windows (with M1 cross-compiling is dead in the water), it can't do Boot Camp anymore and it's a nightmare for DevOps folks who want to run Docker tests on their laptop.

I can understand who likes MacOS and why they'd like it, but if you do anything other than text editing or media encoding for a living then the benefits of using MacOS start to deteriorate very quickly.
I see what you did there. Oh, I see you.
Someone who has cancer presumably would see the doc. again, and further tests would be run. Studies show that this delay costs minimal lives, and testing immediately would cost more lives due to possible false positives or complications.
Another possibility is that energy is really hard to come by. Humans absolutely struggle to amass much energy. Think of the insane amount of energy required to lift things into space, and how many millions more amounts of energy we’ll need just to build something in space. Heck if you go drive off grid on Earth, you can barely bring any energy with you and you won’t really be able to generate an appreciative amount of energy to do anything major. Climate change is ultimately caused by our energy needs.

One day we might be able to harness the output of a whole star but the amount of energy we’d need to get to that point seems out of reach right now.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the lack of energy is a universal issue across the stars.

A huge game changer would be if we discovered some physical phenomenon to allow us to safely extract energy easier from mass. It would do to our progress like what the telephones and the Internet did to communication.

Wonder if there's any way to capture that power?
> Well, sure: Intel pioneered FinFET, cobalt, even 300mm. TSMC and the rest of the foundry world basically followed their lead. But as any foundry customer, it didn't matter what Intel's state of the art was because you couldn't pay any amount of money to obtain anything other than a final Intel product.

Well that's a walk back. You said they were irrelevant to the rest of the market. Now it's a foundry customer couldn't pay any amount of money. Of course. (Well not strictly true, Intel did try to get into the foundry business and did get a customer or two, they just didn't do well https://semiwiki.com/semiconductor-manufacturers/intel/7912-...)

> Limiting physics. It is very hard to continue to make devices smaller at historical rates. Nobody is keeping up with the historical 2-year node cadence any longer. And the "nodes" now are marketing smoke and mirrors, anyway; they don't actually mean that device density has doubled.

I don't see how the argument has been made. Limiting physics was limiting in 2015 as well. Progress has still been made, and progress will almost certainly continue to be made for at least several more node, just at a slowing rate.

There is no before/after I've seen that makes a rational case for them previously being able to compete and now not able to. "Moore's law slowed therefore Intel can't get ahead of TSMC" isn't really arguing anything.

A crude approximation is money. Investment in R&D and fabs. So that's something you could argue, but when you look at Intel and TSMC, it's not obvious that TSMC has vastly more money to spend there.

> They cannot publicly pull the plug for two major reasons:

[...]

This is going into conspiracy theory territory. You think they're lying to investors and customers and the US government to fraudulently get subsidies investment and customers?

Look, you said they were going to not attempt to invest in regaining an advantage, and that they would focus on getting the most out of their trailing nodes. That's just not what's happening at the moment. And with the amount of money Intel is making still, I think they would be mad to give up now. I don't know what writing on the wall there is everybody thinks they can see here.

Launching a satellite is already sub $100k. Technology both miniaturizes and industrializes at an exponential rate. Think about how small and cheap computers have become in the span of a hundred years, from "occupies a building and costs a fortune" to "fits in your pocket and everyone can afford one". Sputnik 1, the first satellite ever launched cost 33 billion 1985 US dollars. 45 years later, you can get a cubesat into orbit for $100k.
I love how they have turned a failure into a success! So cool!

There are some known limitations to the platform. These are the major issues that are faced by our enterprise users at the moment:

a) Limited support for SSO providers - currently supports Google, GitHub and Okta. Other providers are in the roadmap and will be shipped over the coming weeks.

b) Multiple users cannot edit the same app at the same time. We are working on this so that large teams can build apps easily.

c) Multiple organisations per user is not supported. Even though it's not a deal breaker, enterprise users prefers to isolate access for different teams. This feature is in development.

d) Support for multiple pages per app - this is one of the most requested features. Right now the users will have to use the 'tabs' widget as a workaround.
And we inhale it all. (Yes, I know it's insignificant; all things start insignificantly.)
The logarithmic utility function makes the Kelly criterion optimal even when there is only one remaining bet. For example say you have $x, the probability of winning is p, and you bet $y. Then you want to maximise

plog(x+y) + (1-p)log(x-y).

Setting the derivative with respect to y equal to 0 yields

p/(x+y) - (1-p)/(x-y) = 0.

This rearranges to give

y = (2p - 1)x,

which is precisely the Kelly criterion.
Go for Jitsi. It's privacy conscious and has really good video quality. It seems to favour frame rate over resolution which doesn't look as glossy but the smooth video makes it much easier to pick up small gestures and facial expressions than the others like Teams and WebEx.

I use teams a lot for work and Jitsi with the makerspace crowd and Jitsi is just so much better imo..

That is like asking for a car that doesn't have the "going further uses more gas" problem.

Remember that guy in southern California who got arrested for sleeping in the back of his Tesla while it drove him home, and he said he did it many times and would do it again? The system works well enough that he did it many times before he got caught.

That guy is an idiot, but think about that story from another angle: You can fall asleep while driving any car. The difference is, if that car is a Tesla, you might not die.

As a driver aid for non-crazy people FSD is a good system and Tesla owners like it. It's far from being vaporware.
