I’m living in Poland which is known for notoriously hard driving exam (only one in three candidates pass on first try, you can fail exam at any time if examinator thinks you aren’t aware of cars surroundings). I’ve passed mine on sixth attempt.

We are also no. 2 most deadly country to drive in in EU.

Harder exams don’t improve road safety. Brutal penalties also don’t improve safety.

Looking at my country road safety is propably 1/3 infrastructure (awful road surface, bike lanes sandwiched between regular speed car lanes, 3-lane wide roads that require you to go from one edge lane to other on short distance to get to target) and 2/3 shitty driving culture.

Because its very hard and rare to be caught by police for dangerous driving (and there are plenty of yotube videos of police just ignoring dangerous driving or doing it themselves), people here are conditioned to drive in alternative and dangerous way. A saying goes that real drivers ed. starts when you are alone in your own car. And if you are fresh after exam and trying to drive legit, you will also be conditioned to drive shitty because alternative to not exceeding the speed limit yourself is having somebody else speeding drive into back of your car.

Running red light (called „late orange”) is also very common, and despite there being cameras on most of crossroads, those are used only to measure traffic and not for ticketing.

People force their way in traffic because yielding way to car that wants to change lane is very rare and considered dumb.

When people are stopped by police, they dismiss it as bad luck.

People only follow the limits when there is automated system in area for ticketing. Because they know there is no way to cheat the system.

Top app on Google Play is Janosik (named after polish Robin Hood countrpart) - navigation app that has warnings about speed cameras, police patrol routes and speed controls.
From the Indian perspective, bombs falling in Gaza or Yemen are no different from those falling in Ukraine. From their government's perspective, the fuel that is essential to keep the poor people alive and well has risen in price... and any kind of mass poverty in a country which is already VERY POOR is absolutely terrible for the establishment... and that won't happen in years or decades... it is likely to happen in a matter of weeks to months... so they will have to take the path which can be of any help with the fuel prices situation.

A video from the perspective of an Indian YouTuber which covers how they see it was posted on HN a few days ago but was promptly flagged because it goes against the American propaganda. I know this comment will be too but at least if you have showdead, you may see it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnfqgKTz3fk
Trying mine…
In Canada, our driving tests are reasonably stringent (it's uncommon to pass the first time), but you only have to pass once and the police rarely enforce traffic law. The result is that people are great drivers until they get their license, and then quickly turn into morons and just drive like everyone else.

Mandatory retesting might help, though if there's still no enforcement, we'll just get drivers who are good a taking the test, but not driving.
> By definition, if you give someone a home, they are not homeless

That is incorrect. The definition of "home" is not uniformly defined nor equivalent to shelter. Often the homeless are given shelter (with or without restriction, usually the latter) and choose not to utilize it. They are still homeless.

Sass should just have been a python (or your fav lang) library. Express the entire CSS as objects and then finally compile it. There was no need for yet another DSL. DSLs seems like the easy way out but it puts a lot of burden for users to learn it. It is pretty compact and clean though. So there's that.
Oh for sure. It's nuts that this kind of advertising is allowed— Streetsblog does a semi-regular feature where they recognize America's most toxic car ads, and Dodge in particular is called out as being consistently awful:

> “Automotive ads are generally really bad, but Dodge is, above and beyond, worse than any other car company,” said Harris. “There’s not even a hint that a speed limit even exists, much less that a driver might abide by one. They’re inciting road violence in every single one of their commercials.”

https://usa.streetsblog.org/2021/10/26/americas-most-toxic-c...
Ah well, understandable. I'll take a look a the new feature and see if it works for me.

> root fusion and fungal symbiosis, rather than trunk volume and canopy size

one could consider the soil itself as a living organism by the ton, and I would hope conversations around sequestering carbon will transition into conversations around increasing total biomass on earth.

Carbon gets top billing because its easily measurable and has a direct influence on the greenhouse effect, but the costs of climate change really come from the climate becoming more chaotic - every living organism acts as a buffer for storing energy, carbon, and water - the more life on earth, the more stable the atmosphere becomes.

(I'm no climate scientist, this is my impression from reading Charles Eisenstein's Climate: a New Story, totally turned me around on being fatalistic about climate change)
Anecdotally, most of the farmers I know and others in similar industries (fishing, logging) are climate-change deniers. They're too worried about their immediate bottom-lines and fighting any attempted regulations they think will affect it to want or care to do anything about the longer-term threat of climate change that will actually devastate their industries for future generations.

"whilst also improving the lives of law abiding people"

I think only people who think they know the law and believe the system is fair/without error, would take such a hard line.

"Get caught speeding and get an automatic 1K fine. Do it again and it's 5K. Tailgating would be 10K"

These values seem wildly out of touch with, not only severity of criminal fines, but also with the ability of people to pay them. Most people in the US don't even have $1k saved.

Now we could make it a means based fine, like 1% of AGI. It would still be a stiff penalty for people making $50k or $200k. As it stands now, $150 ticket is nothing for some high earners, but may be sufficient punishment for a first time offense for some low earners (eg <$25k).

> Headline is a bit misleading, as this isn't all of Seattle and just one specific location.

It's mainly the tourist part between king street station and pike place. And pretty much outside of 2nd and 3rd, you don't see it. It doesn't represent 99.99% of seattle and yet people here make it seem like all of seattle is overrun with homelessness.
After having implemented k-means ~5 times in undergraduate classes, it was interesting to learn that k-means is just a special case of expectation maximization.
Completeness isn't just about cross platform. It is just one example.

Completeness can also mean content. If your shopping app doesn't have vendors, no one is going to use it. Try getting vendors to join your no-name shopping app and I bet you will be 100% ignored other than desperate mom and pop shops.

And for games, it requires a huge investment of talent to develop, and very few games succeed. So completeness here would be getting game designers, graphic designer, software engineers to work together for low pay and high possibility of failure. The only games that don't require huge investments are puzzle games like tetris and 2048.

Completeness is the bar where the end users feel there is sufficient value to use. If Uber Eats only had 10 restaurants, very few people would ever use it. So the bar is very high to get people to start using it consistently.
I agree, if the cost was going down in more ways, they'd be more upfront about it.

Do you mean for restaurant results specifically or all Google Search results? Big difference if both.
We've had a server go "down" due to log files too, but not because of size, but because of inodes. I think the samba server logged each incoming request into an empty text file with the IP. This eventually caused some problems, but we could still ssh in and delete the files ... but it's not fun to find out what even happened and to do that without autocomplete.
luckily we started migrating before the announcement

i'd recommend checking serverless framework (serverless.com) or openfaas (openfaas.com)

best thing you can do is not get involved with provider-specific APIs: use Docker/Kubernetes for building and executing your code, Postgres-compatible database (Hasura if you want Firebase experience) and S3 for object storage, send e-mails using SMTP

again, don't use provider-specific API's
> sass stepped on css' toes by reusing the @xxx syntax from css instead of creating their own syntax.

Yes and no - they're accepting that there may be future compatibility breaks (like this very case) but using some arbitrary other glyph as a marker is also dangerous. Whenever you're working on a second layer tool you're limited in how much future compatibility you can guarantee (and the limit is 0).

>"And would that stop other people from stealing in the future?"

Yes. Consequences are a deterrent. You will never be able to know for sure how many acts of theft weren't carried out because the person decided the reward wasn't work the risk of getting caught and going to jail. It seems self-evident that theft will rise when deterrents are dramatically curtailed. No one was suggesting that the threat of jail/prison would prevent all theft.

>"What's the return on investment for sending someone to jail over diapers stolen from a Walgreens?"

This is intangible. There will never be a satisfactory answer because there are just too many variables. How much theft was prevented by merit of being in jail? Is it possible going to jail made this person re-evaluate their life? Maybe some cashier's life was saved because a confrontation never took place. The theoreticals are endless.

> His ideals are very different than his father's.

would you care to elaborate on this point? I don't see it and instead it seems that the sentence before this one, along with the general "if he's not a Democrat and he opposes Democrat talking points then we hate him" reddit consensus better explains the current reddit attitude toward Rand Paul than a supposed generational change in ideals between the Pauls. I don't see reddit eagerly claiming to support Ron Paul anymore, anyway.

Homelessness is the biggest driver of remote, and a big reason why I haven't taken my family to San Fran or Seattle. Flying down there once a quarter is fine for me, an adult male. But there's no way I'm subjecting my children to that level of lack of safety.
Hello,

DPO for a small UK charity here. The UK GDPR, which is now a separate article of legislation to the EU GDPR by the way, specifies in Article 3 that it applies;
"to the [(F2) relevant] processing of personal data of data subjects who are in [(F3) the United Kingdom] by a controller or processor not established in [(F3) the United Kingdom]..."
Link to source; https://www.legislation.gov.uk/eur/2016/679/article/3

This to me suggests that even a US citizen, who happens to be in a UK airport at the time, who has data collected, falls under the UK GDPR. But it's more likely that it applies to people resident in the country, rather than just transiting.

However, the law is irrespective of nationality, opting instead to apply depending on where the data-subject is. I believe the only changes to the UK GDPR from the EU GDPR, is the territory to which it applies. So if your data-subject are in the EU, their data is subject to the EU GDPR, or if they're in the UK, the UK GDPR.

Note also, that the UK GDPR does not make the UK Data Protection Act (DPA) redundant, but just adds a layer on top of it. So you may want to look at the UK DPA if you're going to be handling UK data-subjects data. Also, the UK legislation can be found at;
GDPR: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/eur/2016/679/contents
UK DPA: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2018/12/contents
Andre is an addict and/or has mental issues. If we avoid discussing that we can’t make progress on a solution.
I have Ukrainian friends from college and co-workers (at least in part because my wife is Russian). We have a Ukrainian cleaning lady. It is easy to see people you know caught in this war.
People stop reporting. We have had an office break-in, multiple car break-ins, none reported to the police. They don't show up for hours, they can't do anything, and it doesn't change the situation for the reported. Easier to just skip. Talked to half a dozen people with the exact same story.
I think there's a lot of people who live in these areas who don't take full advantage of them. Jobs funnel these people into the cities when they could have a higher standard of living elsewhere.

That said, I hate the cities vs. towns debate because it dismisses the fact that people are different, and value different experiences. Cities offer a lot of things that smaller communities don't. There's much more vibrant arts scenes, a greater variety of amenities (bars, restaurants, concert venues, museums, etc.) and much greater diversity. Traffic isn't a problem if you don't own a car, and city neighborhoods (outside downtown) can provide more a sense of community than you might think. The tradeoff is, of course, space and affordability. For some people, that tradeoff is worth it, and for others it isn't.
NixOS is complicated to use, it's nice to say "everyone should learn nixos" but that's not realistic. It's easier to use Windows.
Perhaps they can fund public transit with all the fines and property seizure, like rural bus/van routes.
This is probably the biggest (only?) advantage of k-means in real problems: it's easy to put new data points into existing clusters. You can do this with mean-shift clustering as well.

It's not obvious how to do this with HDBSCAN or hierarchical clustering. Maybe you'd have to draw some kind of boundary around each cluster after fixing the parameters.
Because there must exist at least one bit of information in the real universe for every simulated bit of information. And unless virtually all matter in the universe is dedicated to running simulations (an absurd assumption to make) and unless the simulation is preposterously efficient, the ratio will be nowhere near 1:1

Which laws of physics you choose are irrelevant; information is information.

Used cars have gone insane in pricing so your end up with similar annual costs for used as new.

Funnily enough, I never have that issue with its/it's. Maybe because I’m not a native speaker and sometimes actually confuse them until my spellchecker reminds me ;)

And yeah, I sometimes created melded words as well. I wonder if there’s a name for our issue.
Well, at some level he is homeless. Statistics use things like "crashing in a friend's spare room" or "renting a cheap motel week by week" in their homeless numbers. They're not lacking a roof over their head, but they do lack standard, stable accommodation.

However, you're getting at the truth - "homeless" here is an "emotional baggage" word, and so often conveys that implied image of some poor, struggling, but otherwise "good" people just trying to make it. Except that's largely a solved problem, folks actively trying to end their homelessness will spend an average of three months or less in some sort of "homeless" criteria (on a friends couch, a hotel, a temporary accommodation). The bulk of the issue is folks dropping out of society and causing trouble for their surrounding communities.

Personally, I come from this community. I spent a majority of my middle and high school years bouncing around motels, squats, and friends spare rooms with my father. We were statistically homeless at some level, just not "sleeping rough." My father was and remains that way over a decade later - he cannot and will not be helped other than taking money for his own ends from an occasionally week-willed family member. He works under the table (an otherwise reasonably skilled plumber), pays no tax, bounces around a series of motels in a one-stoplight town along I-95, drinks, drugs, gets DUIs in a series of unregistered junk vehicles. At one point he did a few months for burning down our squat in a drug-bender gone wrong.

There exists a large, and growing subset of the population who have no interest in playing ball, in straightening up and flying right. No amount of "free housing" or "free healthcare" or "free _" is going to solve a cultural rot. When no one cares they will simply abuse the good-natured systems that fail to take into account ill intent.
> Personally I hate having to job hop just to get what I wanted from this industry.

A couple of times I've landed at a good company, where I figured I could stay for a long time and build something resembling a traditional career. But something invariably changes - the company gets acquired by some MegaCorp, a leadership changeover, your awesome team gets disbanded and scattered, etc... c'est la vie.
Google as an organization seems hellbent on teaching their users not to rely on them. On the consumer side it's by rapidly abandoning products, on the cloud side it's by dramatic price increases.

I think this is the third time we've been slapped with a new charge for something that used to be free. (In this case, egress from multi-region storage to a local region.) That's not going to burn us super hard, but maybe it's only a matter of time before they add a new charge that hikes our bill by 50%.
Translation: The USDA plans to increase subsidies for farmers.

Not that I'm necessarily against such a thing. Food price stability is very important, and farm subsidies are an important way that we ensure it in the USA.

Ask HN: Is moving to the Valley a good move?
So I am a contractor at FAANG in a major US city. I have participated in startups for some time, enjoyed it a lot, gotten to a YC interview once (sadly didn’t make it). One of my best buddies is talking about maybe relocating to the Valley (I am on the east coast) and I am very interested in joining him. We both work at the same company on the same project and want to pursue our remote contracts while giving our side projects a better chance at growth. We really enjoy remote work so location never was an issue. However, I do think there is a lot of validity to relocating. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
cgi, nntp, telnet, etc. are old and obsolete. And not just in the 5 years out of fashion/not the trendy new thing--these things are decades out of date and have major or glaring security issues, etc. If you're publishing brand new code in 2022 that still depends on python's built-in cgi support, etc. you have far greater problems than having to pull in a third party dependency now.

Python changes in breaking ways--just look at the python 2 to 3 change. You will have to learn to deal with it. There is no explicit guarantee that python will continue to work in exactly the way it has always worked for you forever.
>Andre said he has struggled with homelessness on and off since he was 14.

You overlooked this part.

> The problem is the money is going to the wrong people. There are a lot of good and honest people that are homeless and/or struggling to pay their rent. Andre isn't one of them. Andre gets his housing for free while other people freeze and are basically forced to kill themselves. Why is that?

Because American society judges a persons value based on their ability to "work."

Not everyone is capable of working a 9-5. Some people have physical illness, mental illness, disabilities or addictions.

The social and medical support structures in the united states are clearly not adequate, nor successful in helping the vast majority of these people.

Other first world countries don't have these problems. Why is that?

Yes, if the stakes were large enough, & the adversary sufficiently skilled/resourced, it is possible an impersonator could also intercept & redirect your call to "the police" – for example by compromising phone network systems or the police-department's switchboard. (Or, somehow corrupt your usual means of looking up that police number.)
Ah, I see what you mean.

For me, I'd take 'viable' to mean something like a demonstration plant actually working somewhere, a team with the ability (somewhat proven) to reproduce it at scale, and after that exists the math pencils out it's profitable even on a risk adjusted basis.

At which point, it's a real thing that will happen, and prices will start to adjust based on the likely adoption curve (with various speculative values of the curve of course too).

Which yes, may or may not change future values for delivery depending on the timeline.
I also tried to stay away from "winmodems", but even in 2022 I have hardware issues on Linux, on a boring business-class HP desktop(!), the very thing people say never has any issues under Linux... lol... I tracked it down to the Intel driver for ACPI or something breaking sleep/wakeup. It's a kernel issue so I guess I'll just have to wait 5 years for someone to fix it.
