>You have the burden of proof to prove your claim/belief. I already provided a source that says "80 percent of human exposure comes from consumer products in the home." which you're making the illogical leap that that must not include pans coated in these chemicals that we use to cook on... That seems illogical. Yes there are other sources of PFAs, but you're trying to exclude one of the most obvious sources.

If you really want to talk about "burden of proof" and whether something "seems illogical", I'm going to take the easy way out and point out that PFAS is a set of substances which include PTFE ("teflon") as well as PFOA (used in the manufacture of PTFE). We have been conflating the two, which means many of the sources you provided for PFAS are actually invalid, at least in the context of discussing whether non-stick pans are "poisonous".
Have you heard of anyone attempting a transformer better specialized for poetry? ISTM that GPT3's tokenization isn't ideal as makes it needlessly complex to model how words sound.

Maybe reducing the vocabulary to simple english so every word is a single token and using some embedding that was trained using word sounds, or something along those lines?
Average office size : average cube size

An underrated ratio for measuring corporate inequality.
That's a bold claim. Care to elaborate how you came to this conclusion?
I remember the Destiny app allowed you to send items from your local inventory to your vault, which was nice, but I always wondered why didn't they just add that functionality to the game itself. An artificial way to increase usage of their app?
because it’s the same path to speed cameras and a bunch of other stuff watching you all the time. why not just give out “average speed” tickets like the uk does? it’s illegal to go over the speed limit. if we won’t enforce it, why make it illegal?
I'll add that even though the pay rates were nominally quoted per hour, under Leapforce, it was really task-based because they wouldn't pay more than AET. I know raters had their invoices rejected if their productivity was materially under 100%.

I assume they pay for all time worked under RaterLabs, due to employee wage and hour laws. Of course, they can still fire a rater for not meeting productivity requirements.
German unions are much different than US unions though.
I wonder what the chance is that the model has been inaccurately trained and is basing itself on the periodicity of the taps.
What right is being given up? They're already committing a crime in a public area, this is just enforcing it.

What about the citizens of a neighbourhoods right to quiet enjoyment of their property?

If there is a web site with a LOT of content, does Google get SQR for each page or do they get SQR for "a couple of pages" and apply that rating for the entire site?

When you rate "accruacy" of information or "authorativeness" of a site, how do you know the site is "an authority"? are you guessing?
Well, let's just limit cars to the speed limit automatically then. They have had GPS for 20 years, it seems about time. No surveillance, no dollars. Same as we can and should set strict sound limits at homologation.
Per his phrasing, part of the reason he's quitting is to be an example.

Revoking registration seems excessive. Also, I'd expect someone who modifies the exhaust pipe to be able to pass an inspection and revert the modification immediately after.
You would think the native DOM parsing engine would be quicker than trying to add another layer of abstraction and parsing which would incur additional overhead

People get killed all the time in having in-person police interactions. No one has ever been killed by speed camera enforcement.

> At the end of the day, it boils down to your personal choices.

I like working remote fine I guess but all else being equal I'd consider an office for the right job.

All else isn't equal though and the reason we went remote is still in play. A company I left a few years ago went back into the office in january. My old manager who was still working there just died of covid a few weeks ago. Vaccinated, boosted etc.

The risk might be lower now but it's not gone. I never fully recovered from my first round with covid almost two years ago. I'm not looking for another go.

The balance of risk/benefit might favor companies choosing to have workers back. We really might be more productive in there, and hey probably only a handful will die. There's a little more going on than my personal choices though.
These are “rights” I and many will be glad to give up, just as I’m glad to surrender my “right” to park in public parks, my “right” to pee in a public pool, and so forth. The airspace/sound space is a common good and should be protected.
So it's all human ground personnel, missiles, and aircraft basically now (for land)?
> only a union worker is allow to plug a power plug into an outlet at exorbitant prices.

So I have first experience in this working around and with IATSE members. So in the world of events and movie productions there are union and non-union productions. But it is 100% one or the other. For example you wouldn't be able to hire a union head electrician and a group of non-union journeymen. And there are quite a lot of places that will try to do just that. The power outlet seems innocuous on the surface, but it can escalate quickly. And that event will have your name on the credits so you are responsible for what happens.

I wouldn't anyone to plug just anything into my personal network either.
At the risk of getting shredded here for working in defense contracts on unmanned vehicles, I’m one of software engineers working on an unmanned tank. [0] If someone asks what I do my initial response was “recently
I’ve been writing software for unmanned tanks” which was met with a lot of blank stares. Now I say something like “I work on tracked vehicles like what you would call a WWII tank” and that seems to go over better.

I'm sure you can make a car that's quieter than these limits no matter how you drive them; they were designed to be loud because some people think it's cool.

EDIT: Not sure why this is getting downvoted. Look at the ad copy of some of these cars. https://www.ford.com/cars/mustang/ Literally the first line is "Hear the roar of a Mustang..."
I live on a hill by a major state highway intersection in an area where jake brakes are allowed. This is also within olfactory distance of the water treatment plant.

It's great because none of the people who cheer on this sort of dystopian "use the state's monopoly on violence to enforce the pettiest of petty laws" wind up living here.

Edit: Since apparently these things need to be said, because HN, imagine your living situation isn't stable and you don't get the fine because it was mailed to your last apartment or you simply fail to pay it, what happens then, and how is that different than if you had stiffed anyone other than the state?
You dont plant tree seeds by hand. You plant saplings, small trees well past germination.

Especially since there’s no potential for automatic tickets to escalate into physical altercations or gender/race discrimination. If there’s a black and white law that you’re breaking, you’ll get a ticket. It’s much less likely to “slide to fascism” than trusting the police famous for scandal after scandal to enforce.
I think onsite working can be nice but the problem is that it is really hard to find a company that doesn't try to cram you into an open plan office with at least half a dozen people.

I can't do any real work like that. Before COVID, I was going to the office to talk to people, attend meetings and do chores, whereas I did real work at home. It was unsustainable, as work ended up filling 80+ hours per week.
> Right, the reason Democracy degenerates is due inherent disagreement, and the fact a democracy can still vote to stop being a democracy.

Another possible explanation is that Democracy degenerates because the average person isn’t very bright and has a high time preference. Since the closer a society is to a true democracy the more the inclinations of the average citizen determine policymaking, you see poorly thought out short term plans that snowball over time into an avalanche of dysfunction.
Omg. Lol. Actually laughing out loud right now so had to tell you.
I prefer not to think of electron as a toolkit, but as an embedded web browser.
I have been looking for a Chromebook/Linux small laptop and all the small laptops available in Japan kinda suck for various reasons.

I wish Apple would bring back the 12 inch MacBook with the new M1 chip. Atom chip and butterfly keyboard was horrible at the time but now it would be a perfect ultralight laptop.

> The timing is a stupid move from Amazon

I'm starting to think these Amazon's timing is intentional, they'll go to court, _and they don't care_; the cost is worth it to send the message.

There's also a good-faith possibility that the management of this warehouse was legitimately bad and promoted poor working conditions that lead to interest in the union.
The Hellfire missile is a 100Lb bomb, HE type only. 2 tank rounds are already roughly the same power, except Hellfire missiles are $100,000+ each.

HE is different from SABOT too. If the enemy is behind 2 walls (a bunker with multiple rooms inside), the SABOT would be better than pretty much any amount of HE type missile or round.

Of course, bunker buster bombs exist, but those are way more expensive and require air superiority to use.

------

> Just one to find the bunker or whatever and let artillery or a cruise middle do the rest.

Artillery can't shoot SABOT rounds either. Cruise missiles are $1+ million weapons.

An enemy bunker is just the kind of situations where tanks are needed. With a good design, bunkers offer protection from above (artillery or even air force bombs), and force a direct fire engagement.
Remote control isn't going to work reliably at any significant range in a hostile electromagnetic environment.
I was interested in the tool(s) they used to generate the Web version of the book. They used a tool named Antora [1], which is designed for AsciiDoc.

Revenue-neutral taxes are great! But it's better to simply give back the revenue as uniform credits to all taxpayers.
As far as I can tell this doesn't actually require a "big tech account".

I am imagining this working like OTPs that are generated on phones. The actual standard will be open and the implementations do not require a specific platform or any kind of "account", but most people will run it on their phone with Android or IOS because it's handy for them.

I also don't think it's going to require running on a phone, just like OTPs. I can generate OTPs for 2FA purposes on my desktop system running Linux and it works great!

If it does end up working like that, I think it's a great idea.
>What right is being given up?

Any reasonable expectation of privacy. Not all cars are committing a crime when driving past, but every car driving-by will be logged. At least that is already a status quo in most of Europe, unfortunately.

It's nice to see accessibility discussed right away in the introduction lectures.
> Also they can't just make exceptions for "talented" people, I guess.

Why not though?
The automated solution is objective (versus the well known subjective application of law enforcement) and efficient (no breaks, no sleep, no pensions). No law breaking, no ticket.
Well, why should you? Nobody in that department needs to be at the office.
I don’t do this anymore, but much of the best code I have ever written was done drinking. Same as much of the best StarCraft matches I ever had. Something about slowing my brain down seems to help me in certain pursuits. These days, I smoke a cigar instead.
I think of that song every time I see Bukowski quoted.
None of them miss that fact. It's the most basic, common argument people throw at their position. People who know virtually nothing about what Wikipedia is --- see: this thread --- have no trouble coming up with that argument off the top of their head.

Once again: space has nothing to do with the argument for Deletionism. It isn't an elaborate form of garbage collection and encyclopedia-compression. If you're going to argue against their position, you have to go read what it is. They're not hiding it; this may be the most elaborately, carefully documented policy on any major site on the Internet, and your argument doesn't engage with it at all.
