I, too, have some questions about your 1:00 waiting due to "no better train being available"

I am familiar only with Italian and German trains (i.e. use these regularly, but occasionally I also used trains in/to Austria, Luxembourg, Hungary).

You seem to think that in order to go to Berlin by train someone living, say, in Rostock, first goes to the station then looks when the next available train departs.

In reality you can just use apps on your phone to get not only a timetable of departures but also find out how long it will take for you to get to the station using public transportation.

Example: this Sunday I go visit friends near Hamburg. I have booked a 7:08am train already (with iPhone) and on Sunday morning, depending when I am ready, I can walk to the station (25 mins) or look what bus to take and at what time from the nearest bus stop (5 mins from home).
Sadly, this would be illegal in the USA and get shut down pretty quickly.
I focus on Tesla's problems because Tesla deliberately markets their vehicles as driving themselves. They can have all the fine print they want, but when their marketing touts their "full self-driving capabilities", people will treat their car as though it can drive itself... fully.

Compare the marketing text for Tesla[0]:

> Tesla cars come standard with advanced hardware capable of providing Autopilot features, and full self-driving capabilities—through software updates designed to improve functionality over time.

to the text for Mercedes[1]:

> Driving assistance systems in S-Class: Intelligent Drive Next Level. With new and considerably extended driving assistance functions, the new S-Class will this autumn be taking a further, major step towards autonomous driving.

One of these is marketing responsibly in a way that makes it clear that the driver is still supposed to be in control, and it's not Tesla. In the marketing pages linked below, Mercedes uses the word "assist" 35 times and in 9 out of 14 headers. Read through Tesla's headers, in contrast, and you get "autopilot", "autosteer", "full self-driving". You come away with the impression that the car drives itself.

way cool, no need to label yourself amateur, software, hardware, radiology, and real impact. Hats off to you.
I've heard a hypothesis in the past (cannot recall the data) that people who put themselves under financial responsibility (eg through debt, virtuous or vice) often are pressed into earning more. That is it seems the mechanism might be you get stressed about paying your bills so you pursue a life of higher income. People might become wealthier as home owners not because of the wealth the home generates but because of the consistent act of building a little wealth month by month for 25 years, and for want of a bit more disposable income they chase a promotion, raise, or more valuable skills.

I believe there is a similar function in marriages, parenting, and other relationships -- the act of working through challenges makes you a "better" person at least in the regards of perspective, negotiation, less selfishness etc.

Of course, like basically everything in every discussion, there are exceptions but lets not focus on those because it makes it difficult to talk about anything save for physical laws.
The ACLU point was that they would watch for any injustice with a more astute mind and eye than you or anyone else here has. I don't think you have to worry about alerting HN about Edward's unfair treatment at the hands of the US government. I think there are coalitions of lawyers that will be releasing press statements if something were wrong. There won't be. It's all excuses to enable a criminal to continue his run on the lam.

The right way is however you feel is best, without running from the consequences under the justice system. I already said it a few times here, look to real patriots. George Washington, William Wallace, Alexei Navalny. Some had worse ends than others, all stood their ground till the end in what they believed. All men whose spirit will burn in the hearts of men forever.

I know Snowden's story. His passport doesn't bar him from returning home, and he's not helpless in Russia. He can leave, he chooses to stay. He either has or is still seeking a Russian passport which says it all. Forgoes American justice for Russian servitude. There's your personal hero. The boat sailed on that guy, your depiction of him sounds like someone years ago before he engaged in a full speed sprint from justice. He has exposed himself for what he is. Just accept that the story continued to evolve on him and people see it.

And the good news: the US will treat him fairly, and won't assassinate him. We could, easily. He ran from the world's longest standing democracy.

Bad news: he's a Russian. That government poisons you just for speaking in public. Most people there wouldn't dare speak their views outside of their kitchen table. Irony for your "freedom fighter" will be given they despise traitors so when he pushes the wrong button, they murder him.

> And I didn’t call it ‘Autopilot’ here on purpose .... Why do we all tend to focus on, and demonize Tesla’s version?

My guess is that it's because Tesla themselves are calling the advanced cruise control system "Autopilot".

This risks presenting drivers with a level of misconception, and trust that this system does not deserve.

You can tell somebody (including Tesla owners themselves) plainly that this is no different than the other "advanced cruise control systems", that they should not put too much stock in relying on the system to drive themselves, and that they must be even more alert; however, I think there's a cognitive view in place -- even if you are told the contrary -- that causes people to think subconsciously that Tesla's cruise control is smarter. Almost like the car has a built in "Autopilot."
I would bet there's a large number of people who know Harold more than the others :)

Are Prompt-Based Models Clueless?
zero being false is fine in statically typed languages like C, because there's still only one false value available, and you wouldn't be checking for it if you weren't expecting zero to be false

in dynamic languages, wanting to take advantage of brevity tricks with number zero or empty list or empty string being falsy can seem like a good idea, but gets confusing fast-
different languages are going to have different falsy values, and you can easily get caught off guard when legitimately wanting to accept an 'empty' value

common lisp has NIL as its definition of the end of a list, which ends up working out fine since lists are so deeply embedded in the language design that it's hard to forget that they're there (any other kind of object is 'truthy', including any size of regular array)

scheme has a separate #f that is taken as the only falsy value, which is probably also fine

python and javascript are a mess, with different kinds of 'empty' or 'nothing' values being falsy whether you want them to be or not, which is the kind of helpfulness we don't need- where evaluating in boolean context means "if this value is present but not 'empty', in a way that is dependent on the objects type, and may change over time"

Okay, what you're talking about now, sounds a lot more like a dialogue than before. Beforehand I thought you were talking about an X-words-long argument that (without interaction), if constructed towards one specific individual, could flip this specific individual with certainty. Like a key that can be used.

Maybe I lacked structure in my initial comment and you're referring to my statement about value in dialogs/ discussions that I briefly mentioned. That said, I totally agree with what you say here. There are numerous ways to get something valuable out of an interaction. The actually exchange of information can be just one part. Observing how you or the other reacts/ feels/ etc. to an impulse (in whatever form), can be eye-opening as well. And so much more. Human interaction is complicated, nevertheless, sometimes I just don't feel like it's worth the energy - ofc not our little chit chat here (;

A parade of these motorcyclists stopped traffic to a halt (running reds, going backwards on the street, going between cars so they couldn't move) in Times Square last week. I was in a rush trying to get an important appointment and was furious just standing there, waiting for them to finish their joyride while tourists clapped and took pictures. There were at least 4 NYPD officers within eyesight, but what could they do, shoot someone?

Ask HN: What are the risks of using Cloudflare's email routing?
I've always relied on Gmail and other free email services. However, lately I've been hearing more about random account disables and how difficult it is to get your account restored [0].

So, I've slowly started putting in backup systems in case my accounts get disabled, starting with using my own domain name for inbound email from all services.

I use Cloudflare to route inbound emails to my domain to my gmail account, which, btw, is backed up locally. Now, if my gmail account ever gets disabled, I can route all inbound to another account and recover some of my services.

However, this left me wondering, what are the risks of this approach (asides from Cloudflare having visibility into my emails)?

It doesn't even make sense in many cases. Bitcoin for example will never be useful as a medium of general exchange, the transaction volume is way too low to support it. Plus its deflationary nature makes it at odds with a healthy economy, where you want gradual inflation to at least exceed the birthrate so there is a hope of lifting people out of poverty.

The workaround is to put everything on exchanges, but then you've lost the decentralized nature of Bitcoin and you are back to just a central database owned by a company, AKA a bank.

Too bad Troof blog is using a definition of nootropic that I don't like:

"Any substance purported to increase or enhance cognitive abilities."

He reckons that:

"Some only use the term nootropic to refer to a specific thing which should check a very specific checklist, e.g. having very few side-effects. As I’m not using this definition, remember that the nootropics mentioned here can be very dangerous."

And I am very much inclined to think a nootropic as a substance that[1]

"should protect the brain against various physical or chemical injuries (e.g. barbiturates, scopalamine)."

I would even change should by must

These forfeiture trials are criminal trials. If the government is suing over a breech of contract or something that’s a civil matter, but when the government is acting with powers outside of those of a normal citizen it’s a criminal trial in everything but name.

OK, restricted market forces. Plenty of large players bid (or consider risking an entry) keeping in mind the costs of complying with regulations. One that cheats has lower costs than the others calculate preventing competition.

The solution is to remove regulation and testing so thousands of bidders compete on providing an all melamine formula at an exceptional price?
Whether a word should or should not be used is complex, and usually a matter of context and fashion. As a society we do sometimes decide (try) to drop the regular use a word entirely due to the sheer weight of the history around its use - the argument being that it becomes impossible to remove the other connotations not matter the context.

So why is one allowed when the other is not when they seem to arise from such similar contexts?

First of all, while one might feel like its use is a 'bigtime no-no', the use of 'wetback' is still very popular in certain segments. So obviously it's only disallowed in certain contexts, e.g. around people who don't hold to that particular kind of racism, in public forums, in professional settings, etc. Among other words it's used every day as a rallying cry of the anti-migrant movement in North America, and as such has a lot of negative power.

'Redneck' on the other hand has been embraced by a 'grassroots' conservative backlash movement, which now has a certain amount of political power. So while originally it marginalized a class of people: the poor rural class that have less access to adequate education or health care, and show many of the same generational problems that visible minorities do; now the term also refers to a whole bunch of definitely not marginalized middle-class Americans. People whose grandparents would never have self-described as 'Redneck'.

These new, political 'rednecks' backlash against anything they consider liberal, including efforts to help or defend the marginalized they purport to represent.

So now in some contexts the use of the term is not only allowed, but encouraged.

But where is that liberal society that's supposed to be defending the marginalized against bad words? Well, the liberals are hypocrites, just like most everyone else in this world. They'll jump on any chance to derogate 'the other' as long as it's fashionable to do so. They certainly won't come to the defense of the 'rednecks' while it's such a convenient rally cry against Trump voters.

So it's us-versus-them politics at play here, and as in any political game the marginalized get trod on by both sides.

Yeah and for men doing vaginal sex the risk is way lower of getting infection than being the receptacle.

HIV had to be rebranded away from being seen as a same-sex curse to a common ubiquitous threat in the 1990s to get society to care, but its really not something thats as big of a threat for most of us as it was suggested. A lot of it was just not accurate. Generations of heterosexual people running around scared. Probably did slow transmission down, since only “heterosexual” and bisexual men were/are spreading it to women via sex. But also viral load is suppressed and suppressible now.

I worked at multiple airline reservation shops in the late 80's and 90's, all of which used IBM's Transaction Processing Facility (TPF). There were C compilers available towards the end of the 90's, but they were slow to be adopted, nominally because the hand-written assembly could be better optimized to meet processing time constraints. I think some of that might have been a bias on the part of the long-term programmers who had vast experience in assembly and did not care to learn C.
Years ago for kicks me and a few friends did the Gentoo thing starting at Stage 1 tarballs. Took my then Toshiba Satellite 12 hours to bootstrap.

The dangerous part is the false impressions of capability that they give to some of their drivers.
Ya, but that law isn't well respected. It hasn't been tested let alone affirmed by any court. It is very likely not constitutional. I would not cite it.
