IMO the "vastly superior" comment here hurts the credo of your argument.
It's translated from 60 kph. Apparently, the current system is restricted to German highways. Those are limited to vehicles which can go at least as fast as 60 kph, and this might be where this number comes from. It's basically the slowest highway speed at which there is no controversy about legality. Targeting highways first makes sense from a complexity and data quality perspective.

Although driving at 60 kph on German highways seems quite risky; at that speed, most trucks will overtake you.
If you agree with this, you're saying they're not entitled to any business, plus are on the hook for all of their tenants. Why would anyone do this?

Yeah, PFI was dreadful. I don't think they wanted wholesale privatisation, but the Blair years were certainly more right than Labour generally is.

Part of the joy is finding them serendipitously on your own though. Still, if you're not too fixated on the age and more interested in a place being a personal site, here's a thread with a random collection from a couple years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22156868

> However, If you look at the pre-trial graph for Texas at https://www.prisonpolicy.org/profiles/TX.html, which incidentally also includes local jail (not prison) post-conviction confinement numbers, it could only hypothetically double the admittance numbers if we assume worst case.

“Maybe it’s double, *shrug* that supports my data-based opinion because that’s how I choose to interpret the importance of the difference between 1x and 2x.”

That was certainly a lot of words about England and wales!

> But ultimately it can't effect my point as it couldn't remotely account for the sheer magnitude difference in incarceration rate in the US, and fundamentally is a matter of sentence severity--longer incarceration durations creating a larger total incarcerated population, which is precisely my point.

This is precisely the opposite of the point you attempted to make at the beginning of this conversation.

Why was it so important to point out that the prison problem isn’t that extreme and that people are falling for a fallacy yesterday, but not today?

In either case, I’m not going to spend any more time trying to debate one of the many methods you’ve used to justify handing cops more power than the DA.

It’s a great distraction from “What I want is to give the power to arrest and jail people to the police over the elected officials tasked with due process. I want to do this even more than I want to replace the DA or seek remedy from the state, because I believe that police should fundamentally have this power to protect us from hippie prosecutors in the future.”

But, uh, I don’t have a short attention span. I haven’t forgotten what we’re actually talking about here. Good job with some funfacts about England and Wales though!
Go ahead, this site is so filled with shockingly ignorant upper class silicon valley groupthinkers that commenting is like banging your head against a particularly stupid brick wall.
What most people here complaining about the "40 mph" limit do not realize is that below 40mph is where it's hardest to implement proper self driving, as majority of below 40mph driving will be in city streets with pedestrians, frequent turns and more variables. Anything higher will generally be in highways where lane assist cruise control systems are already more than good enough.

I will gladly take a system that can drive itself confidently under 40mph in city, and use basic lane assist (and maybe lane changes and exit ramps like in Teslas) for highways. Cant wait!
Breadth of operating conditions is a trade off with reliability of operation. It’s possible to do a lot of things okay, or a couple things perfectly, but not yet possible to do a lot of things perfectly.

When you remove the driver from the equation, the requirement for reliability goes up.

There’s going to come a day when Tesla is forced to make difficult decisions about their “FSD” system. They’re either going to be requiring human supervision for a long time, or they’re going to have to start pulling features.

I’m glad to see other manufacturers taking a different approach and actually start working on features good enough to qualify for SAE level 3 operation.
It's interesting that if labor units were replaced with money, the concept would be intuitively obvious to everybody: Having a certain amount of money that isn't earmarked for anything is practically the Singularity of personal finance.
> Yes dethroning the google play services is a hard goal so here I'm mostly advocating for microsoft to keep the play services

Microsoft can't do a lot of the things you want to improve Android without dethroning Google Play Services. So very much of the "real" Android OS today is closed source and in "Play Services".

That's why Amazon and Samsung (and Cyanogen and its successors like LineageOS and…) have invested so much money into failures at this point!

Android isn't an open source OS. It's a proprietary OS with an open source "crust".

1) The Android Java VM is tied up in lawsuit settlements between Google and Oracle at this point. Even Google likely can't replace it without repercussions or follow up lawsuits. This seems a large part of why Dart seems so important to Flutter and Fuchsia and what have you. (Plus Sun forbid Microsoft from ever touching Java again back in the 90s.)

2) Microsoft already sells/supports what was called Xamarin and is now called MAUI. They also seem to actively contribute to React Native.

Most of the rest I cannot comment on because I'm not an Android user. As a former Windows Phone user, I feel Microsoft had an "ideal smartphone OS" and the market decided it couldn't support it and would rather Google be in charge of a "nowhere close to ideal smartphone OS".
I really wonder if this is an area that would be best served by creating a cooperative, allowing you to spread some of this knowledge and troubleshooting across a larger number of humans.

But that's fundamentally a social problem, and the field of software is nothing if not consistent in its resolve to try every other solution before resorting to emotional work. Co-ops that try to come up with a set of rules to handle all situations end up failing, because rules-lawyering turns into a game to be won by some people, at the expense of everyone else (see also, HOAs).
Do human drivers spot crosswalks in time with higher accuracy? That seems very unlikely to me.

Still, as long as the driver (human or otherwise) sees the pedestrian and vice versa, an accident can usually be avoided, with perhaps some angry shouting.
Don't have a good answer for you here, but I know there are a few companies that offer SDKs to speed up the process. I've heard of a few people that leverage flutter, but I think ultimately it depends on the type of app that you want to roll out. Neobank, a financial management app, savings app, etc. My guess though is around 6-8 months depending on how much you build yourself vs buy from a 3rd party. Best of luck!
I was acutely involved in similar work a while ago (I was a donor for many C diff, IBS, Crohns patients and autism patients).

The science/theory may have changed, but the potential link between gut microbiome and autism for awhile was thought to do with the levels of Clostrium (Clostridia?... can't remember back to my microbiology days) bacteria in babies. Most babies are born with high levels of Clostridium species in their gut, as you may know, clostridium are usually very good at producing toxins (botulism, c. diff, perfringens etc). Majority of babies seem to get rid of these bacteria at 10 months or so, but those with autism seem to hold onto them. The thinking is these bacteria continue to produce low levels of neurotoxins that affect the brain. It seems to be supported with anecdotal research which shows improvement in autism symptoms in younger children who are given transplants but not older children. The thought being the years of toxin affect on the brain has been too much.

I mean.. there are other factors in play too.

How much tax does a mom-and-pop (book)store pay, compared to eg. amazon (relative to size, income and profits)?

I live in a country that was once communist, and we still get a lot of very left leaning parties (literally with a red star in the logo), who always mention "tax the rich", but the effect of any such measure is, that poor people still pay (almost) zero taxes, rich people earn enough to make it worth it to avoid taxes (open a company in a tax haven country, move money around,...), and the middle class (engineers, developers, etc.) gets fucked.

Can't we first fix the tax laws, so that amazon would pay the same effective tax rate as smaller stores do? And then do the same for Bezos personally compared to a regular worker.
"Happens to be right" is kind of misleading here. It's not like he "happened" to call tails on a coin flip or something.

Microsoft has a history of writing unreasonably shitty software, abstracting it to all fuck with ten thousand layers of manufactured complexity, and then claiming the problem itself is hard. Casey was like, no, the problem is actually trivial, and if you just write code in a straightforward way without pessimizing your own code, you can easily get something 100x faster than Windows Terminal. He even wrote refterm to prove it: https://github.com/cmuratori/refterm

No one wants to be told that something they're working super hard on is actually trivial, and that all of their problems are basically self-created. There's no nice way to say that. It's basically saying, "stop doing 90% of the crap you're doing, and the problem solves itself." But it's true and it should be said.

But haven't we all seen Fight Club? It isn't a question a confidence, it is a question of financial math.

This decision tells us nothing about the safety of the Mercedes system compared to its competitors. All it tells us is that adding these limitations to ensure the system is only used in the safest possible scenarios makes taking over liability more reasonable. That isn't surprising. Their competitors' systems are also very safe if used in this manner. The only difference is that the competitors are not satisfied with releasing a system with enough limitations that it only works in stop-and-go highway traffic in clear weather. It is that added functionality that is more dangerous and the reason other manufacturers don't take on liability.

Odds are the marketing and accounting wings of Mercedes had just as much if not more influence on this decision than the tech team.
The point they're making is that this is coming and the groundwork is already being laid, both legally and technologically.
I note that many blog on their personal web site. I decided against that back in the early 2000's, when it got popular - I just didn't want to face not having a clue what to write about next. The site's always been hosted with a commercial hosing provider. I've travelled a bit, and that meant my site could live on even if I moved yet again.

So I just use it to write down stuff I thought inetresting. I add new stuff very occasionally, and refer to it often, to this day. It's expanded (and sometimes contracted) with non-work stuff (hobbies, photos for the overseas family - although I could do more on that front).

And so I have no real expectation of myself to continually provide new content, or keep up with the latest hosting software and [at home] infrastructure. It receives lots of traffic for the 4x4 guide I wrote in 1998, and the consulting reference pages. I don't care for the traffic, but glad people find it useful. As long as it remains useful to me I'll keep it going, and call it a success.
The invisible hand is just the profit motive. Most people are indeed incentivized by (not solely) by money and profit.

The advantage of a market in this context is two-fold 1) Private-losses, mispent investments should have the investors bear the cost of losses. Granted, we often bail out investors or banks, but that isn't a market phenomena, it is a political one. 2) Where there is more profit to be had (high prices) there is more incentive for more investment.

Now, one could argue that a market system is more likely to be corrupted such that the connected get bailed out or other advantages. But if you don't trust the political system to regulate the market, why would you expect it to better regulate a bureaucracy that more directly controls the relevant resources?
That seems like it would cause a lot of problems, other than the optimization.
Are you suggesting that you don't use any constraints (unique, not null...) or defaults in the database either?

I agree. It's a fun game. My case with a second complete row https://imgur.com/a/sQEQPKM

After a few games, it quite playable [without using the mouse, that I classify as cheating]. I cleared like 10 or 15 rows and then bad luck stuck :( .

[spoiler alert] The trick is to try to almost complete the first row. And then aim the new pieces toward the bigger holes in the first row, and toward the inclined blocks in the second row so they open the hole. It's like using the new blocks as hammers. But after a while, if you are unlucky the second row is too even and has no inclined blocks and it's too difficult. Once the 2nd and 3rd row are complete, you are doomed.

A row counter and detecting other complete rows would add a lot playability. [Fun game anyway, I'm going to play a few more games now.]
I think that may be level 4, but I’m not sure.
The Canada trade deal is a "continuation" deal (as described by the UK Govt in a link I will post at the end of this comment) which basically sets terms to be the same as the EU's currently existing deal before free trade: IE, it's not free trade (though; not that you claimed it was).

I believe it's rather disingenuous to describe a continuation deal as a "deal" since essentially it's... a continuation.

But it's good that we have them.

FWIW: Negotiations are underway right now between Canada and the UK though, from the UK Governments own website: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/uk-launches-negotiations-...

It’s great that you share your ideas with your team. I’ve been in both product management and engineering roles and I can say with certainty that everyone has terrible ideas, including (sometimes especially) engineers.

The thing is, you can’t tell if an idea has legs until you share it. And even after going through your own filter and that of your colleagues and other disciplines, the only thing that’s actually important is how the product is received by the audience.

So holding it all close to your chest is just a really good way of reducing the likelihood of success. And because of this, wherever I can, I try to mock up a cheap prototype of a product first, something that expresses my ideas in a tangible way that others can understand, just to make sure that what I’m working on is actually worth the time.
I mean, he's gotta have plans to monetize it somehow. I'm curious if he has aspirations to turn it into a payment super app like you see with WEchat in Asia.
Not really. APIs cost money to develop, and people, and time. And many large banks don’t have robust engineering teams that can tackle new challenges or support a public api.

Small projects as you might imagine are measured in years, not days or months.

An API like you describe could take half a decade to build, at the cost of hundreds of millions of dollars. These are not fake numbers or estimates. This is what it would cost.

What are your thoughts on that Chinese law? I’m fascinated to see the effects - positive or negative.

It's not just longshoremen they wish to remove. So far that hasn't worked but it demonstrates a trend, foreign owned ports really want to eliminate the US worker / vessel requirement. It shows that their aim isn't just to remove some Americans from working these ports, but any and all. That's all. It just illustrates my point, which is that over time these foreign owned ports want to entirely take over the operations and maintenance and staffing of the ports.
tRPC offers typesafety across your frontend and backend without needing to generate any code. This makes it so updates in your backend "router" are immediately reflected in your frontend code. You can't use gRPC with TypeScript without codegen. tRPC may be more familiar to TS/Node.js devs too.

This is incorrect. I'm a Type 1 Diabetic and in my opinion keto diet is probably the healthiest diet a diabetic can be on.

Ketoacidosis is a result of extremely high blood sugar for a prolonged period of time combined with ketosis. The reason this happens is that without insulin your body cannot use the sugar in your blood so your blood sugar keeps going up and your body doesn't get any energy out of it.

What happens when your body is out of fuel for a couple of days? It enters ketosis and starts to burn fat. Ketons mixed with sugar in your blood will acidify blood, this is ketoacidosis. It's an extremely dangerous condition.

However, if a diabetic is on keto diet they will have low blood sugar and their body will enter regular ketosis almost eliminating the need for insulin and ensuring a stable healthy blood sugar.

In other words, a diabetic will end up in ketoacidosis if they're bad at controlling their blood sugar, regardless of their diet. However, if they are on keto diet the chance that their blood sugar will be very high is extremely small. High blood sugar is the killer, not ketosis.

I've been doing a keto diet on and off for a number of years. When I'm in ketosis my blood sugar is steady in 80-100 range and I don't need almost any insulin.

I had a similar addiction to reddit a couple of years ago, especially while I was in college. It just became something I did as part of my routine. In hindsight I don't know why, since I rarely had a good time on there. It felt like everyone was an asshole, the content was all repeats of the same shitty jokes and fake stories from people desperately trying to farm internet points. It all felt pathetic, and I knew it at the time, but something kept bringing me back.

So one day I decided to just delete my account, and that was it. As soon as the account disappeared, so did my interest in the site. It was like a switch flipped in my head. I guess it was the internet points that were tickling the addiction part of my brain?

Next time I find myself wasting too much time on a social network, I'm just going to delete the account and move on. Unfortunately, I don't think HN lets you delete your account, so I'll need to get creative if I decide to drop this site too (maybe do something to get myself banned?)
Those cookie warnings are intentionally annoying, it's malicious compliance in the hopes that people get bored of them and click ok.

I've been watching his content for a while now and I love him. He is a breath of fresh air in a field that is sometimes a bit dry. He is hilarious, knowledgeable and brings so much life and character to us in his content. If a little colorful language and wit can get more people interested in nature we will all benefit. We have to share this planet and the more we learn and love it, we will hopefull take better care of it.

I am not a botanist, but I always loved plants. When I was 5 years old I had guerilla gardens growing all over the neighborhood (mainly beans and flowers) and my grandparents taught me how to forage for plants and fungus. Eventually, I began memorizing plant taxonomies on my own. As a more self-taught plant person, I identify a bit more with Santore, than I do with others.
