You're right there is a group C, but those choosing a nomadic life are probably not the ones in tents right at a major city intersection.

I am a 'live and let live' person and generally not bothered by the sight of homeless people (besides sympathy for their plight), but it has all started to get out of hand in California.
Private companies are making that decision, not the government. That's a big difference.
I agree with everyone above, the space is polluted with scammers and ponzi schemes. The signal to noise ratio is really bad. But those precious few interesting use cases are pretty fascinating. My personal favourite is "money streaming" - i.e. transferring money in realtime continuous flows, rather than discrete one-off transactions.
Yep.

Mearsheimer's brand of realism denies any agency to Ukraine and is only concerned with the "great powers".
Just because there’s a technical workaround doesn’t make it not stealing. If I neglect to lock my car and my stuff gets stolen, it’s still stealing. I might have been able to prevent it had I locked the car, but it’s still stealing.
Books.

Buy all the books.

Buy as many books as you have space for and then buy some more.
I'm sure you'd kiss your kids goodby and be the first one to go build barricades facing being arrested, possibly shot (if things escalate) or "being urinated on, raped and violated with blunt objects."

All with a cutoff internet so you could not even organize a proper event. Just go outside and overthrow an entrenched million-strong armed dictatorship.
What if Russia had their bases in most of the South American countries and had been openly discussing having their base in Mexico for 14 years. And then 5 years ago, if all of the Mexican leaders that America was maintaining relationship with were suddenly arrested for "corruption" and then Gabriel Iglesias was elected for the president... and you try to befrend the new leadership, but then they start speaking the Russian talking points.

Who would you blame then?
We don’t at all have evidence that Tesla can’t do Level 5 within the timeframe of this bet. Tesla is the farthest along of anyone who’s trying self-driving. Waymo and Cruise are geofenced, and still don’t work much better than Tesla. Aside from those, Comma.ai is doing seriously impressive stuff (sneaking up on Tesla tbh) on a way, way smaller budget, with less hardware, and notably, they’re going for a vision-only stack this year. Judging by what Comma’s been able to accomplish with basically smartphone hardware (maybe one step up from that), I’d be shocked if Carmack loses this.
Correct.

Though I'm not convinced Bundy has an unheard voice. He's a rich white rancher. He doesn't want to pay for grazing rights on BLM land. The fact that he can be a giant gun-toting asshole, get media attention, and not get shot or tossed in jail shows me he has a voice. Or at least more of a voice than many other people.

I consider him something wholly different than the Jan 6 mob.
There is a huge amount of talk about things like this or CarbFix which all seem secondary to the "capture CO2 at some generic capture point and pump it into a saline aquifer" approach which seems to be pretty scalable.

Even though the technology is on the shelf it's not being deployed largely because there is no financial incentive to do so... Yet the widespread use of this technology really needs to be happening now if we want any of these carbon capture things to happen.
in an ideal world we wouldn’t need self-driving cars. Trains are much superior: faster, more energy-efficient, cheaper, can carry hundreds of people with a single operator who can probably be automated anyways.

In an ideal world i imagine most things would either be in walking distance, or walk to a train/bus and then walk to your destination. Subways and bus-only lanes cost a lot upfront but pay off in the long run. Unfortunately most subways are underfunded, overwhelmed, and falling apart because they were mad decades ago and not maintained well.
> Wouldn't Africa be better off if English became the most spoken language?

No. Superficially it may seem like it but practically it would stagnate their native languages and dumb down the population.

> There are more resources, technical and otherwise, available in English than Swahili.

Yes there is. But the exercise of translating resources to your own language helps advance a language and a peoples. A few days ago we had a submission about how some of the translators of goethe became some of the best english writers.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30523802

All you have to do is look at the resurgence of europe and european culture as europe "abandoned" latin in favor of the native languages. We wouldn't have shakespeare without the push towards linguistic nationalism - the move to translate bible, etc to one's own native language.

> I wonder what the income effect of knowing English is for an Indian, compared to someone who only knows Hindi. I'd guess that it's significant.

It depends on whether india supports an english-first system or hindi first system. Besides only a small fraction of jobs within each country requires english.

English dependence can be viewed as why india and so much of africa is so poor and undeveloped. You need a healthy amount of national pride to develop your country. Japan, South Korea, China, etc developed through their own languages.

Doesn't mean I think everyone should abandon english. Learn what you want, but foster and develop your own languages.

Man they are really trying to create a western vs eastern block conflict. So many cold-warriors still in the nat sec community. If Russia gets attacked by the west, China will not be aligning with the west because we're also attacking them. So much potential for a nuclear ww3.

The whole reason the protest existed was to convince, through intimidation, our Congress to overturn the results of free and fair election.
There's no prospect of anything like that happening to a mainstream site in the US, at least not over political speech. For sex, drugs, and violence-related sites it can and has happened but that is a qualitatively different case.

The commonality between those effected may be the causative factor. If that same commonality is missing from those less effected it's even more supporting evidence.

In the set you presented. The only people who have increased risk of ALS are those that play sports on grass fields. Maybe that's the key? Grass.
That's not how protest movements work. They require organizers and leaders.

What precisely do you think happens to those organizers in Russia when they defy their dear leader's sacred mission? A brief stint in jail? I think the best case scenario is nothing cruel happens to their family. But their life is essentially forfeit.

Besides, we had the largest protests in US history to prevent the invasion of Iraq. I was at many of them. They did absolutely nothing to stop that war.
Veritasium used to do a lot less a/b testing on his videos and I guess maybe he just got too big too fast. The thing that bothers me the most though is that he went from almost exclusively explaining interesting scientific facts/experiments to a more "aggressive" style where a lot of his videos are about x being wrong and here is z reason why. And I personally just don't like that style, especially when it turns out that there is a lot more nuance than his titles would indicate. I mean what are the odds of an entire field being wrong , and the truth is actually in a 15 mins youtube video by a very general science channel?

The Selfishness of Others: An Essay on the Fear of Narcissism
IMO the ultimate standard for self-crashing car technology should be that an SCC can win every event of WRC (World Rally Championship) across all the countries.

Rally is the pinnacle of motorsports - tarmac, gravel, snow, forests, thin roads, hairpins, jumps, livestock, the full gamut of constantly changing conditions at high rates of speed. When a SCC can master that without some guidance system that turns it into a glorified slot car, I'll acknowledge that SCC tech is officially better than human drivers.

Until that point, a well-trained human managing the strategy of driving with the computer handling the tactics (execution of strategic intent) will always be the optimal combination.
Leaving them be is not helping anybody at all.
There were an enormous amount of problems in the telephone space that they hoped computers would resolve, like replacing the army of human operators with computer controlled switches.
In places where I commonly have people asking me tech questions, I fairly often have to repeat Rule 1 of Asking Danaris Questions:

Ask The Damn Question.

I usually only have to say it once to a given person, and repeating it in public chats when people ping me there without an actual question tends to reduce the incidence of "naked pings" generally for a while.

For a while, I tried having https://nohello.com/ in my Discord status, but that's not the most visible indicator, so I haven't been doing it lately.
I really don't believe self driving cars should be on the road at all. If it can't be perfect I do not want a computer without human intelligence controlling cars. I think a better investment would be on denser communities and pushing for more biking, walking, and public transportation.
i find funny the parallel between the uptake of reactive programming and analog computing (same kind of real time smooth coupling)
"FSD" is a misnomer bordering fraud. The fine print:

https://www.tesla.com/support/full-self-driving-subscription...
> This sort of thing is just a terrible idea.

It's not an idea. US-based companies have to comply with sanctions.
You can find military radars on publicly available satellite data
can anyone point to an instance where these kinds of sanctions actually lead to grassroots change?
> If these things were genuinely having trouble, we'd know.

Hm, I see videos of pretty terrible FSD fails all the time - stuff like the car veering off into the other lane, trying to drive the pillars of bridges, failing to spot pedestrians and other fun things. It's quite impressive that the system is nearly there, but that I suspect this is the famous final 20% which is gonna be a monumental challenge to overcome
VW is making the ID.4, and next year they'll start at $35k. While it's bigger than the Model 3 and Bolt, it's still a crossover and not full SUV size. It's more value like the deal that the Bolt is, than like Tesla.
I've wondered if the subconscious reason for sending "hi" / disliking receiving "hi" is that -- in the same way as a read receipt -- it denies the recipient the chance to read the message and tactfully choose to ignore it for some time.

E.g. no-one likes being saddled with urgent work; therefore pretending you haven't yet seen a request for such until you feel like dealing with it may be a common response; therefore asking "hi" is an attempt to establish real-time communication and thus force an immediate response to a potentially unpalatable request.
Hmm not so straightforward. it’s very necessary for all forums of plant life. its just a matter of to much in the atmosphere is not a good thing.

The current climate issue movement fails to address the ecological problems at hand. It’s all about co2 levels and not about healthy ecosystems and integrating back into nature. Plastic waste is really fucking up out planet.
A big plastic tub with two arm holes cut out would be a much better solution.

And I hope by “glovebox” you mean a still-air box, because gloves attached to the box actually increase the contamination rate due to the box sucking in air when you move your hands.
They're probably pretty accurate, yes. Not that I agree with any of it; but Putin has a ton of "justifications" for what's happening in Ukraine right now. The main one being that the US & West are threatening Russia's entire existence via NATO expansion.

If most of the media around you is state-sanctioned and pro-Putin, it's super easy to go along with Putin's justifications.
I'm interested in the shift in terminology. Previous coverage has referred to them as a software company or device manufacturer, but this round is referring to them as "hackers", which seems like a framing McDonald's would benefit from in lawsuit proceedings.
Why is it considered "all or nothing" when discussing NATO involvement?
NATO has been known to defend (or "defend", take your pick) multiple non-NATO countries in the past, no total war started.

So if NATO put troops in ukraine to just defend it (not attacking pro-actively russian forces or territories), what would happen?

Is the scare now that Putin is so mad that he would immediately start nuking random NATO cities around the world if that happened?
How is Cogent supposed to be paid or fund operations in Russia? Starlink seems a better fit for routing around state censorship anyway.

> I am not entirely sure why you’d expect help from your neighbours given the above

Because it's the human thing to do, honestly, I expect from my country's neighbours to have humanly feelings, so to speak.

Only reading this latter comment of yours I realised that when you talked about help you most probably were talking about military (or something like that) help, in which case of course that the answer is more complicated.

This risks getting OT but imo us paying that protection fee (because that's what it is) of 2% of our budget each year (now expected to pass to 2.5%) is fair enough. Don't see how we would be able to put up an army worthy of that name that would stand a Russian invasion almost all by itself. The money just isn't there, i.e. for us doing it all ourselves. Maritime/sea defence is very expensive, air defence is very expensive, the whole cyber-security staff is pretty complicated and, while we might have some people for it, we most certainly don't have enough. We should play to our strengths, and, to be honest, we're not strong enough to stand up against the Russians all by ourselves, we never were.
> I think that it's still Russia's fault for using a stick and not having a carrot.

I agree. But saudi gets away with ironing Yemen just because it's an US ally not because it's influential by itself
This is absolutely fake.

If one person leaving your company, will cost you $40 million dollars, your company doesn't deserve to exist.

I imagine it would be different if you're talking about a C level, even if they paid this dude $200,000 a year, he could have got hit by a bus, quit to live in the woods, or anything else . Else .

I had to stop using Reddit a while ago since so much of the content. There is just fake virtue signaling. People will create absolutely fictitional stories to get up votes. Aside from that, it's just a very hateful place.

The fake validation you get doesn't outweigh the negativity you take in

In which case you could also say the same thing about RSA encryption, or really anything. It’s a pretty silly argument to make as rowhammer im sure could also “break” homomorphic encryption.

Homomorphic encryption is really about the utility when it leaves the device, not at the encryption stage.
Yes.

So optimistic. We just got dinged on this for SOC2 and I had to send over the so800-83b document that states as much.

Can you output methanol? Maersk is commissioning some new ships that are methanol powered; if they succeed their requirements alone will probably exceed current worldwide methanol production 10x.
this is clearly fan fiction. don't let this garbage spread here please.
It feels plausible to me that homomorphic encryption would be especially vulnerable to side-channel attacks because its schemes are so computation-heavy. I don't have a clear mental model for this, but it feels like there would be a lot of opportunities for attackers to detect data dependencies at the beginning of the process (if they have access to observe a relevant channel).
Good. Are we again forgetting that the Russians love their children too? What would it do to any of us if we had a leader hungry for a war we don’t want and the rest of the worlds kicks us off the internet to boot. What does this do to the normal Russian people?
I don't see why it would be different. The only difference between anadvertising page and a news site nowadays is how quickly the hero image needs to change.

Reddit's old vs. current design is probably one of the biggest examples of the user philosophy changing overtime. Not really a "hero image", but the focus of presenting text with small thumbnails to huge thumbnails and a small header likely follows a similar philosophy.
Counterproductive IMO. Blocking ordinary Russians from the world would be akin to creating a Russia sized analogue to N. Korea with much better weapons and industrial capacity. Virtue signalling by banning anything that carries the name "Russian" is a childish response when there are citizens of Russia protesting against the invasion and risking arrest and violence thanks to the state and economic ruin due to the sanctions from Europe and the US.
This. I hear people demanding at home fast chargers. It doesn’t make any sense. Most folks look at ev’s though an ICE lens. Most don’t understand that you wake up every day with a full battery.

> If this led to post-mortems and process improvements, as in QA/dev process, not simply bug-fixes, then why is the process not improving and/or better trusted now?

IME things do improve after taking those steps. But with large code bases there are a lot of layers of products over time and it's difficult (and expensive) to make sure everything is covered. And it's also a moving target.

> Also, the original task is described as a "refactor", so the numbers should not be affected - was was it not just a refactor?

IME the most useful tech debt interventions are where some legacy module is deleted or some unused code retired. Unfortunately those are often not provably without side effects and sometimes even with a diligent investigation side effects can be missed, especially when the components involved are old and original creators and product managers have left the company.

At the end of the day cleaning up tech debt has non-zero risk, guaranteed cost, and very often, in the eyes of management, negligible reward. So on average it grows and thus enterprise codebases are born.
As one who rarely defecates in escalators in subways I'd only be speculating, but I would imagine that at night, when the subway is closed, they afford more privacy and protection from the elements than the street.
Great user name!
This is good for russian propaganda, since only internal media (news, communications,...) will be accessible. Bad for everyone wanting to see the other view. On the other hand, by banning RT, europe is not much better at this...

But we're also in the middle of propaganda war, and the west has to be "doing something", if the result is good or bad, it doesn't really matter.
Mushroom mycelium is organic material, so it is compostable. Why do you think it wouldn’t be?

In fact, mycelium composts faster since it contains more nutrients than cardboard. Leftover mycelium is nutritious enough to be used as fertilizer for growing other crops.
> In fact, we use Go on the front and backend at Qvault, and we’ve found that it’s wonderful to have standardized formatting, vetting, and testing across the entire Go ecosystem

Well, that doesn't seem to be true as Qvault is clearly a Wordpress powered website.
Your sentiment is normally valid, but most Russians supposedly literally don't believe they're at war because of the content Putin feeds them. They think it's a small operation in the Donbas. It has nothing to do with being 'illegal' or whatever.
> How do you define "compatible"?

I define it as "provides the equivalent API".
Note: They are not a tier 1 network.

Russia has already done that..
This also risks convincing the Russian population still on the fence about the whole thing that Putin is indeed right and the West does indeed have something against Russia and against ordinary Russians, this being an excellent example.
Horrible decision.

We should be beaming free internet service down on Russia so there are as many opportunities as possible for Russian citizens to route around censorship, shine light on propaganda, and organize.
I know of business units IN government who explicitly ignore compliance. They sign off claiming they "accept the risk". It's worth your job if you push compliance too hard with them.
>but I feel like this stuff is pretty close to theft

It is theft, plain and simple. Someone makes something, owns the property, they have the right to determine under what conditions they sell it. I always find it hilarious how people defend piracy with arguments about making products more user friendly/cheaper and so on.

If you don't like something, don't buy it. If you're bypassing payment without the owners permission, you're stealing.
