Nobody is unclear on the value.

Lots of people -- including me -- don't believe that it's possible without significant technological advances that look to be extraordinarily expensive. ie open R&D problems.

I will say that if anyone can do this, it will be Waymo/Google. Unlike Tesla, it's not a fraud.

That said, it's notable they're doing this in Arizona. Limited rain, no snow, clear weather all the time.
Is there something particularly attractive about an escalator to someone who needs to poop? Or is it just that there is so much pooping all over the place that some just ends up in the escalators?

There's nothing you can do to "certify" zones to mitigate this. The problem is that zone cotenants share a kernel. You have to trust that the kernel attack surface is free of LPEs, and no reasonable person can trust that.
Sure. All it would take is razing LA to the ground and rebuilding it from scratch.

I don't think I'm exaggerating, either. In a city plan like that one, any public transit route is going to, even at optimal configuration, have simultaneously too many stops and too little:

* Too many stops, because the train or bus spends more time stopped than it spends moving, so rides across the city take forever.

* Too few stops, because you still have to walk a mile to actually get where you're going.

Fixing this requires a walkable city, which can be summarized as "don't spend half the land area on parking and stroads."
Laws do prohibit this. You can't force prisoners to take medication.

I have worked in housing units filled with mentally ill inmates and as one might imagine it's not a therapeutic environment (though at least they are somewhat shielded from predation by the general population).

Arguably kahrl is in the wrong thread repeatedly posting about "never ever ever ever ever ever storing secrets in version control". As I said, I agree PII/PD is different.

Sealed secrets can be used in various k8s-aware notebooks.
> They are fashion statements. They are virtue signaling. They are portable storage lockers.

Flip it around the other way - if you had a L5 car at your fingertips, would you give it up so that you could make a fashion statement, virtue signal, or have a portable storage locker?
We tried Montessori with mixed results.

We love the foundations and philosophy. My wife set up our house according to the Montessori approach of making everything accessible for the kids.

Our oldest-
She did fine at Montessori but we noticed that she would never push herself or be pushed - per the method. For example she would only go to the shelf with puzzles that she could easily master. It wasn’t a competitive environment and she thrives on that. She moved on to regular Kindergarten and is doing well.

Our second-
Same problem as the first - but this was a bigger issue because he was far behind his developmental milestones and needed speech and occupational therapy just to get to Kindergarten.

Our third-
She was born for Montessori. She loves independence and is the most capable two year old I’ve come across. She’s the only one who uses the Montessori set-up(s) at home that my wife made happen.

Our fourth-
Still a baby - we shall see
They do both talk past each other quite a bit, which is annoying as I do think Mearsheimer has some good input on the subject.
That's even worse.
So they buy even if they didn't need to.
Great, now do Roblox and Fortnight. And youtube for that matter.
2018 4runner in my case. Still on its original battery so that's probably getting a little weak. -10F starts fine, its when we get those -15 or -20ish nights where you can really hear it struggling and you hope it starts. Sure I could upgrade the battery but a block heater is a lot cheaper when my battery is just fine in > -10 degree weather. Plus you get a warmer engine with the better lubrication that provides for the motor until it heats up.
>Idea about rotation of passwords is that you assume that your password 'was leaked/cracked' and you don't know about it and have no way knowing it.

That's really not the user's responsibility at that point. It's up to the service to store passwords securely (i.e., use proper password hashing functions) and monitor login behavior to throw up extra challenges if things look suspicious.

Password rotation is a high-cost measure placed on the user that has little (even negative) benefit, especially when there are more effective alternatives the service is better-positioned to implement. Users cannot twist themselves into knots to make up for shitty service-side design decisions.
I went back to the instruction page realizing I really needed to understand it before playing. Now it shows comeback tomorrow.
> Russia is doing is unprovoked killing of innocent people

While I agree, this is a matter of perspective. Many Russians believe they are only killing bad guys. Once civilians take up arms, they become part of the bad group killing "our people" (to the Russians, a subset anyhow) It's more complex because they each have relatives in the other country, Russia is trending towards a North Korean like state, and that there are very different histories told between the east and west.

"He who controls the past, controls the future. He who controls the present, defines the past."

> I don't get the parallel with US/Afghanistan or why it's relevant here.

The terrorists killed innocents, then the US invaded a country, using the first as justification, then the US killed civilians, and in response civilians were "radicalized" and fought back.

It's meant more as an example where perspective defines who's innocent and "justified"
Controversial opinion: more news outlets should be run by benevolent billionaires who can afford to spend their own money indefinitely to keep the outlet running without resorting to ads and paywalls.
The best question to ask those who are on a fence... Would Russia attack Ukraine if it was a NATO member? :)

So instead off focusing on those changes I have to first fix potential dozens of files for no reason at all.
Poll: Who will win the self-driving car bet, John Carmack or Jeff Atwood?
John Carmack is waging $10K that by January 1, 2030, completely autonomous self-driving cars meeting SAE J3016 level 5[a] will be commercially available for passenger use in major cities. Jeff Atwood is waging $10K on the opposite:

Who do you think will win the bet?

[a] https://www.sae.org/binaries/content/assets/cm/content/blog/sae-j3016-visual-chart_5.3.21.pdf
John Carmack: level-5 self-driving cars WILL be available by January 1, 2030.
John Carmack: level-5 self-driving cars WILL be commercially available by by January 1, 2030.
Jeff Atwood: level-5 self-driving cars will NOT be commercially available by by January 1, 2030.
I can't decide: Both of these guys are smart and well-informed; I don't want to disagree with either!
> I believe I'm telling the truth and you are spreading misinformation.

Good for you, but that's a non-sequitur. The point is that "if you believe in free speech then it shouldn't matter what I say" is wrong-headed.
> and only with access to a huge charging network like Tesla in 2022.

There are a lot more non-Tesla chargers than Tesla Superchargers.

Though they're slower and more expensive.

Whoever decided 7.2 kW J-1772 chargers should exist needs to be dragged out back and shot. They did a lot of damage to EV adoption by feeding the notion that EVs take several hours to charge. Chargers below 150 kW shouldn't exist, IMO.
I mentioned I work in ProServe specifically to imply that I don’t have those issues. “I control my calendar”. I make sure the scope of work is well defined before I take on any work if I’m not involved in the pre sales part and I am responsible for setting reasonable expectations with my customers.

In my org, it’s a sign of poor project management and customer management skills if you are constantly overbooked and it’s considered a negative.

Of course all that went out of the window during the first three months after Covid.
> One empirical demonstration of piracy's impact on sales (<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_infringement#Softwar...>):

That's not a demonstration, that can be explained by the difference in hardware penetration, the quality of service provided which was much higher on consoles at the time, pricing, market differences or other factors. You had plenty of counterfeited/bootleg cartridges as well on the famicom.

I'm sure we can find more than one story from the 80s if that's really a thing.

> Pulling over, stopping, going very slowly and cautiously is all allowed

Not according to the law though. If these "L5 cars" are obstructing traffic on the regular there's going to be a big problem. And generally, this wouldn't be L5 driving.
What do we do in the meantime with the illegal and violent activity? Ask the police not to take actions to predict it or otherwise manage it?

Given police propensity to massively overreach, especially with preventative surveillance programs, I'd prefer we further regulate their ability to rollout and operate such programs. Not eliminate them completely. In this specific case, the program was nominally created to maintain peace during the Chauvin trial. That's over, the program should have died, or failing that, at least undergone external/public review to validate it was legal, fit-for-purpose, etc.
Print licensing is very standard and used by the majority of the font fountries with exception of Lineto and a few others. For example, buy 1 seat (1 designer) and that designer can make unlimited print products as long as they have the seat to use it. It is based on installation on a computer that is used to develop the print materials. Some font fountries prevent the use of embedding fonts in the distributed media (such as PDFs).

Where I made an explicit exception in the license is for developers using the typeface in IDEs, and using it in professional context. Also check input mono license which is where I got the inspiration from: https://input.djr.com/license/
There is a versioning scheme. It's not golang's fault if a publisher doesn't use it.

This is cool, but how is it different from piracy?
Our projects ranged from 2-person 2-week web app assessments to multi-quarter assessments of entire operating systems, from individual projects to long-term staff augmentation, and everything in between. I'm confident that hourly rates do not in fact align your motivations with your clients.
Actually, it isn't that hard (took me about 5 minutes to arrive at the 3 steps solution). Especially with a number like 486 which you might have met in school, when learning multiplication... Then again, I like the mental exercise :-)

Edit: And another 6 minutes for the 'hard' version (4 steps).
"Putin has fucking nukes, is he seriously afraid of being invaded himself?"

He is afraid of insignificance. Once there was a great RUS empire, now there isn't. Many russians feel sad about that.

I don't to be honest, because those great empires, whether from the tsar or sowjets, were mainly known for slave conditions for most people.
Depends ;-)

First of all, there is no single accepted definition of "neuromorphic" [1]. Still, as a point in favour of the "neuromorphic systems are analogue" crowd: the seminal paper by Carver Mead that (to my knowledge) coined the term "neuromorphics" specifically talks about analogue neuromorphic systems [2].

Right now, there are some research "analogue" (or, more precisely "mixed signal") neuromorphic systems being developed [3, 4]. It is correct however that there are no commercially available analogue systems that I am aware of.
Unfortunately, the same can be said for digital neuromorphics as well (Intel Loihi is perhaps the closest to a commercial product, and yes, this is an asynchronous digital neuromorphic system).

Even the ones that are, don't (c.f. WaPo)
The whole point of a defined data standard is to remove ambiguities in sender/receiver implementations. It may be strict, but that makes it easier to write a parser for, and easier for multiple different projects to get right.
Mearsheimer and other geopolitical overthinkers are in a fantasy where small countries should have or have no will of their own and would never choose to reorient to liberal democracy without USA forcing it on them no matter how much more attractive EU is than being a Russian vassal
Cool story ethbro

It’s for the gas pipelines, but 100 year perspective. Sure.
People won't buy a self-driving car, that's not the point, certainly not in cities.

The goal is a highly flexible, reactive, all-electric public transit network where vehicles of varying sizes get routed exactly where they need to be.
It's easier to believe the singular "COVID isn't real" than it is to understand the plurality of viral load, HVAC, particulate sizes, mask ratings...

That's the challenge.
Well, go ahead then, Chuck Norris...

Bystander effect. Unless I know everyone will go together and our numbers will overwhelm "the enemy", why should I go, and maybe end up beaten up, jailed, etc, for nothing, since the state will just chug along after crushing me like an interstate bus splatting a bug on its windshield.

Yeah after a significant number of people are revolting it's easier to believe "hey this might work" and it's easier to join...
An article worth reading is worth buying.

Ukraine: Cluster Munitions Launched into Kharkiv Neighborhoods
Statistically, people don’t have a screaming peak infectious toddler in their face without a mask let alone proper PPE for an hour+ (before I could even attempt basic precautions).

Statistically, Li Wenliang shouldn’t be dead either.

The statistical results reflect the range and distribution of the entire populations exposure and immune responses, which by their nature have outlier situations and responses.

Most diseases, the more exposure you get, the more chance it has to take hold before the immune system can fight it, and the worse it gets.

I’m pretty confident, but I guess the only way we could know for sure is find a statistically significant population of infected toddlers and unvaccinated otherwise healthy middle aged adults to hold them for an hour.
Ok, who is to blame outside the hand-waiving of the whole world? And I guess we should just throw out common criminal law foundations of 5000 years.

Fine, I say lets blame the sun.
I don’t have to be the top 10%. I just have to be better than the median. I should be better than the median in my mid 40s.
You wouldn't bypass a car
Very frightening to know that we still do not have a good grasp on causes, and are probably several decades away from being able to treat it. It's really a death sentence. I would probably choose a quick way out if I were ever diagnosed.
I'm Canadian. As a Canadian I am fully aware that my country exists strictly at the whim of the US. If we were to decide to form a military alliance with Russia, hosting Russian troops on our soil, Canada would be invaded by the US in a New York minute. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a fool.

It sucks of course but it is what it is. That is all he is saying.
Mixed feelings about this. I hate paywalls because they inhibit sharing and conversation, but... if people don't pay for news, soon there won't be any reporters. People have to make a living somehow.
How does this work on a high level? If the server never sends the content, how can a client-side extension get it? Do most website just hide this on the frontend?

That's even worse.
The US doesn't need the oil from russia but still buys it.
Europe is more dependent.

So everybody wants from Europe to hurt itself but at the same time the US is allowed to needlessly buy oil from Russia.
This extension has been around for 2 years, and has worked reliably. Just need to update it once in awhile.
> I am not so sure. Think of the potential value to be unlocked: It will radically change the way real estate is planned. If cars drive themselves, you can switch over to a "Car on demand" model for most current vehicle owners. Why would you need to waste space on parking lots, single garages etc. You also unlock the ability for more people to live further away from work.

none of that value accrues to the people who make self-driving cars though (or their investors). It's not like if waymo gets rid of your car for you, they get your parking spot or garage.

It's a huge social benefit but investors are looking for return-on-investment, not making a multibillion loss to improve society.
it's not such a crazy idea.

as a not-so-scientific back-of-the-envelope: assume a poissonian mutation rate and a genome length; how long till a measurable taxonomic difference?
Maybe Russia should just join NATO.

This would require Russia to change in a lot of ways from how Putin runs things, but who would that be bad for, really?
Yeah, its stated as hourly but the real deal is 8-8-8-8-8 across the board...and the manager stamping your timesheet loves this. For some reason lawyers are stuck with tracking every 15 minutes.
The different search engines generally give you ways to validate their crawlers, either with publicly disclosed IP ranges or DNS lookups.
I am familiar with the current system and its failings. This is why I believe that the only real solution is to have start doing real rehabilitation in the prison system.

If an addict or mentally ill person is repeatedly harming others or breaking laws, the only solutions are rehabilitation or incarceration. The problem is that we are failing to rehabilitate and following that, we are failing to incarcerate.

I don't see how a parallel judicial system of "care courts" solves this fundamental problem.
Okay, I genuinely don't understand if you even have a point that you're trying to make.

OP: How to argue that invading Ukraine is wrong?

You: Here's what Putin and his supporters think.

Sure, he's made public statements about this, I don't get how they're relevant here given his position. Every tyrant and aggressor in history has had a bullshit excuse and a group of supporters. That doesn't make their position equally good to the people they're opposing - and that's what I thought you were saying with your previous comment.
The news can change the perspective of individuals. If only “benevolent” billionaires can maintain news sites, then they can also dictate the perception of real world events by individuals. It is too much power. Competition pushes news sites to adhere to some level of truth.
> There are also people who claim that the Confederate battle flag is a symbol of Southern heritage and has nothing to do with slavery or racism.

That's not about what people think, but official position. What I posted you is the official position from the Group (Straight from Wikipedia). That's for what we can hold them accountable for.

> If you don't see a reason to discuss that, maybe just stay away from the the thread instead of claiming that everything is Russian propaganda.

As if you were the one who would decides what people discuss here or not.
I am deeply suspicious of "shoulds" on other people.

Maybe normal human beings should pay enough that newspapers can survive.
propaganda != propaganda

They block propaganda of the government agencies of a country that is currently in the middle of hostile, widely condemned by the West, military operations in another sovereign European country.
This comment is empty of content. All you've said is "go is bad" over and over again. Who would be persuaded by this?
His answer always seems to be, "No it's all a big political game, that's the only lens from which we can view this." The politics may be the most important thing from a geopolitical perspective, but they aren't the only thing.
> You'd want to have some kind of public awareness campaign so people (including potential patients) can see that they're not the asylums of years past. Play up the "spend the day playing checkers in the day room and getting better" part, play down the part where they don't get to leave until the nice people running the place decide enough progress has been made.

As long as the "don't get to leave" part remains true your "public awareness campaign" sounds a lot like propaganda to me. This sort of thing is why people don't trust the system. You need to be up front about the restrictions, and persuade people (especially the prospective patients) that it's worthwhile anyway.
"Always blue, Always blue" haha

at first I didn't understand what was going on with the mouse but then it worked out. Nicely done.
No, you see, it's "provided for educational purposes only" - it says right there in the readme
This is bullshit. Their world is exactly the same. Before this war you could go to Russia, at least in the biggest cities, and the life was exactly the same as in any other European country.

The beliefs are due to propaganda. Most Russians have close ties to Ukraine and would never think of waging war for no reason.
So if that happened... who would you blame? Russia?
Russia Bans Twitter
I’m in my phone now but they cut two different patches to two different releases, I suspect I linked to one and you the other. Harder to double check that when I’m not at a computer, though that does have far better comments and I should have linked to it, thank you. I basically picked one at random.
I'm familiar with DNS and read the FAQ. But, "Practically", it's used for external services(ssh, http) to get to your device. Right? Are there practical use differences?
>This seems too forgiving of Russia and also the US re: Central and South America.

He seems to be saying that Russia/the US reaction is probably morally wrong, but completely expected behavior. And the moral aspect isn't worth considering as history has shown that great powers usually act out of strategic interest not moral consideration.

Yeah, it'd be great if great power politics ended. Ukraine trying to change to the US's side isn't going to end them.
Second this comment - notion would win for me hands down if it wasn't slow. Unfortunately I don't have the capital or desire to upgrade to an M1 to fix notion. So maybe when I eventually upgrade my system it will be my go to. Fingers crossed.
