The no-whiteboard list represents at best, a small sample of the total list of companies that don't require whiteboard interviews. Hanselman talked about dark matter developers, the unseen 99%. The same principle applies to companies. In other words, there are tons of jobs out there flying under the radar.
Fantastic work dude. On behalf of anyone who might one day benefit thanks and congrats.
Since it has been ruled constitutional, that leaves two options:

1) change all state laws to nuke the practice

2) leverage the practice much more heavily such that more important and influential people want to nuke it

I was under the assumption that "the driver's momentum was around 67.000 kg*m/s" in the top parent comment meant we were talking about a human confined within a car. This is also supported by how @butwhywhyoh says " then you compare it to an impact without describing exactly what you're comparing" in which @trgn still doesn't say clarify what sort of comparison he's making.

It's an argument against using some irrelevant momentum number in a comment. Without showing this momentum number, their comment is just "I'd say it's gross negligence to drive that fast at all on any surface street with sidewalks, traffic lights, intersections, stores, whether the driver is asleep at the wheel or not, autopilot or not, drugged or not" which certainly wouldn't get as much engagement on HN.
only good feelings? f@H has made fundamental contributions to our understanding of biophysics of folding proteins!
It was the same guy who said AWS had $64 billion in revenue last year ..
I get your point. But to add to it, there is a labor shortage of good software engineers and that contributes to the high salary. We are still digitizing our economy, we are still disrupting non tech savvy businesses with tech first startups, and we are barely beginning to apply ML all the areas it could make gains. Please see more_corn's comment in this thread about how they haven't found a job yet where they couldn't immediately save the company 10k a month. There is no shortage of work to be done and a real shortage of people who can do it. So the reality is yes, any salary < 70% of AWS cost is justifiable in this example.
How about we bust up any company holding more than 20% of the market share for baby formula? And then we bust up any company holding 20% of the inputs for that? Recurse until finished.

Then, when one company gets contaminated, we only lose a maximum of 20% of the market.

Maximally efficient is minimally robust.
You're missing the point here.

I was attempting to describe a situation where, if the law permitted it, you could bring in a jury and let a prosecutor make the case that Bob's briefcase constitutes the proceeds of crime, and have a solid chance of success at the "beyond a reasonable doubt" standard of proof which is required for a conviction.

But you can't prosecute a briefcase full of cash; and Bob's actions are not in themselves criminal. Without some kind of asset forfeiture system, nothing can be done.

There's a pretty reasonable public policy argument that this is not an acceptable situation.
I get the symptoms when I go to bed dehydrated. Chugging water helps me.

I actually prefer a four day school week and four day work week as a standard I just don’t think it’s easy to have multiple simultaneous standards.

I get that not all jobs are M-F 9-5 workloads. But I also know a number of people report substantial hardships of not having that schedule in those jobs. I don’t think we want to make school no longer correspond to the default work week by having two default work weeks unless we want all people on the wrong default to add those problems to their jobs.
Thanks for mentioning Altair. I am personally also a big fan.

I am one of the co-founders of bamboolib and we are actively thinking about adding support for altair to the Plot Creator (instead of just relying on Plotly).

Since we are talking other viz options in Python, there are of course also matplotlib, seaborn, plotly, and more.
I disagree just on the grounds that if they're confident it affects serotonin 1A receptors then there's definitely a decent chance it really does _something_. As mentioned Buspar/Buspirone is prescribed for anxiety and affects that exact receptor the most.

Similarly I've seen NAC recommended a lot - by a doctor with a phd in neuropsychology. There's a lot of positive reports about it for several mental illnesses - and there's also reason to beleive it affects glutamate (and in turn GABA).

I think the truth is that many chemicals (or plants) are overlooked. As long as there's a solid idea as to what the mechanism of action is, then I think it has a very real chance of being beneficial to someone.

This wouldn't be the first psychoactive plant/fungus - Cacao, mushrooms, kava, marijuana, acaia (dmt) and opium are all relatively potent (noticable within an hour).
After the war I'm sure they took note. The US Army of the North was then the largest army in the world. That had to be concerning.

In both cases, it is bad for Tesla.

- If you go with the idea that Autopilot is dependable then it is Tesla's fault. The system is supposed to prevent that from happening and it didn't, killing two.

- If you go with the idea that Autopilot is just an assistance then it is the driver's fault, but it also means that the system doesn't bring much value. If you have to pay attention at all time, correcting mistakes, then you may as well just drive.

I'm confused. You don't think banks are owned?
What a surprise, eh? /s
Tesla leads the industry in self-driving deaths. Out of all vehicle deaths caused by autonomous steering features, all but one involved a Tesla. Literally every other car manufacturer in the world, combined, has fewer accidents or fatalities than Tesla by itself.

(The one that didn't was the infamous Uber self-driving pedestrian fatality.)
In the context of this case - its also important to put it in perspective of what was being said about Autopilot in 2018-19 that this driver might have been reading about it as a feature in the marketing copy.

Sure in 2022 - we (including Tesla engineers) are all comfortably able to say that Autopilot is really just fancy cruise-control and the driver really needed to have been using FSD (cuz that's full self driving). But at the time - if my memory serves correct Autopilot was being marketed as the feature state of FSD is today.
Like most training, I think the biggest thing is the learning before the official training that is avaialable. Mainly, I'm talking about a kid learning from watching their parent's behavior behind the wheel. If kiddo sees the Parental Training Unit(TM) doing stupid things behind the wheel, then kiddo will assume that's okay to do. Then when being told that's not the correct thing to be doing in official training courses, kiddo=>teenager now rolls their eyes to the back of their head as the teacher is just out of touch.

So, you must be the change you wish to see in the world. So in today's view, we're all screwed!!
There was a consortium, and it did standardise Unix, and that's when everything stopped moving in the 90s. Standards are compromises and so all the commercial Unixes had to implement the lowest common denominator. Thankfully GNU didn't care, and the BSD tools were already better.

I am saying:

"It will take twice as much to fill up the gas tank because I know how to calculate the volume of a container. Here's the math."

You are waving your hands around and saying:

"No we can fill it up with half the gasoline you just don't believe. And, no, I can't be bothered to do any math or talk about the science of how one calculates the volume of a container. And, BTW, here's a downvote for you!"

So, yeah, there really isn't much I can talk about with you. My life is math, science and engineering. I don't do hand-waving. Sorry.

The only way China has a chance on this ground is to go 100% open source implementation. If the western world can check the "blue print" and that the "blue print" on the chip is the "same", we could expect enough trust to roll all together.

This would be an improvement because current design of western chips has just 0-trust. ZERO.

Basically, we would need an alliance of the good guys from asia with the good guys from the "western" world. Should not be surprised if this does not work, coze it is beyond "hard" (not the mention the meddling of the "bad" guys from both sides).

RISC-V de-facto worldwide standard would help other regions to setup their "silicium" industry (africa/middle east/India/etc).
One innovation in the todo app space I'd love to see is a neural network that automatically organizes and categorizes tasks according to say "sentiment" or some other useful metric.

I do find that dynamic programming can sometimes be tricky, especially when I am being watched by a stranger and I don't feel relaxed. One thing I've learned is to insist in an interview that I may need a couple of minutes after shown a question to quietly think and jot down private notes without explaining out loud what I am thinking about. Once I have figured out how to design the solution I can explain my line of thinking and then narrate what I am doing as I am writing out the code.

If they think this isn't OK even with me understanding this need and communicating about it upfront, then it's probably not a good fit anyways.
You’re misreading the comment and going off on a tangent. OP was giving another example of the behavior to illustrate a point, its very clear they are not implying that the person they are responding to has made that specific claim.
I'd take a walled garden over a superfund site.

We don't have to guess how this ends, FB and Google have already shown us with their VPN-scandals. These alternative app stores will lure people to them by keeping apps/features gated in their stores or they will do what FB/Google did and just pay people.

There are a lot of things that are behind permissions but with no oversight can be exploited. The "sandbox" cannot protect from reporting on everything the user does, snooping on the network (BT or Wifi), or any number of other creepy things. That's why there are some capabilities Apple doesn't give out to anyone or they require extra review. If that gets taken out of their hands then I worry what some alt-app-store apps will ask for/demand in order to use their app. Sure, the user has to accept it but without the App Store guidelines apps could require them to accept a bunch of permissions before they can use the app.
First Results from the Fractal Governance Experiments
You're describing flaws in the legal system that lead to corruption.
Well it tends to be kind of personal, until you have enterprise contracts and vendor lock-in, and it only needs to be personal to one person with decision making power and suddenly you convert a whole company to a product.

So you can build a SAAS TODO app and have one killer feature thats useful for 1-1000 or 10,000 paying customers, and survive on monthly subscriptions if you manage to keep churn low.

And this can happen in a niche segment or generally just survive off of a few evangelists buying licenses for their company to use X tool.

TODO apps are probably never going to be a $billion app but can reach a few million in valuation. But with an ocean of customers and competition, many competing apps can survive and meet a niche.

For example we used X small startup app for a few years until we needed Y companies feature, so we moved to Y company instead and it was fairly painless of a transition for <100 users and our simple project/task management requirements.
> The singular habit I picked up way back in the day was to simply cope with what was available.

Nothing wrong with that. There are other ends of the spectrum of "make the things I do often as easy as I can", too. Both work.

It reminds me of my father; when he got in a car that wasn't his, he would NOT CHANGE ANYTHING. You couldn't tell he was in it. Safety issues aside, there's an argument to be made to make it as comfortable for you as you can; seat, mirrors, environment, etc. to minimize any distractions.

I see this too in my (software development) communities; some people like to tailor their development experience to the n'th degree to extract as much personal enjoyment/optimization/etc. out of it as they can. Others like to use whatever they're given and be happy with that. Both work.

Myself, I type for a living so I like to use keyboards I like. I bring my own with me in my "go bag" for when I'm out so I don't have to use the (IMO!) crappy Apple Laptop KB's. I /can/ use it, I just choose not to. Other people either like them, or have learned they don't care enough. All good.
Depends on your the outcome you want. " (ie a production shut down due to safety regulations)"

If we got rid of the regulation we might have more baby food but would it be safe to feed a baby?

And pushing more regulations to the states usually just adds to business costs and regulatory shopping.

> Even if you are rich and innocent and lucky, then you will spend a day in jail, and spend thousands on bail and lawyers, and if found innocent you will still have all of it on your record, lost all of that money

Not quite.

If rich you get all your bail money back. If poor you do a bail bond and dont get the deposit for the bond back. Or cant even afford that and stay in jail. (The effects compound because its often not the first time)

If rich, an arrest record means nothing. If rich enough, an indictment or being found guilty means nothing because you don't need employment.

And thats before we talk about fighting the case. Or making the investigation harder.

Its a completely parallel society because the consequences are so different.
Yeah, that's not it.
People are motivated by many things. They don't need fairy tales. Religion and superstition has ruled over people for thousands of years. Let's give evidenced-based approaches a few millennia before we go back to that garbage.
How many wrecks and deaths have been caused by other manufacturer’s systems? It’s got to be happening.

We actually do have the numbers on this, because other manufacturers actually report this data.

Tesla has more self-driving accidents, and more fatalities, than the entire rest of the auto industry, worldwide, combined.

This will continue to be a problem, not just for Tesla, as the tech becomes more widespread.

This is uniquely a problem for Tesla, not the industry, because the rest of the industry took safety issues into account when designing their systems and testing them. Tesla deliberately did not for profit purposes.
There's a terrible combination: experienced developers that have forgotten how hard it was to learn new concepts from scratch, that expect to be able to pick and play by exploration, without a tutor to ask questions or catch their misunderstanding early. I believe that if you remove at least one of these things, learning Rust becomes much less frustrating.
I don't like find. Nor do I like vi (not vim, vi) and/or maybe others. I don't wish to stamp on someone's parade who's more accomplished than I am. But I think these "new" tools miss the point.

I use vi because I know it exists on every(?) system ever. It's not like I go out of my way seeking vi. I feel the feeling is similar for find. It works. It works well. It works the same on all systems I work on.

Would I go out of my way to install find on my system? Probably not.
Just make it centralized (like most cryptocurrency effectively is anyway). You would still need some checks and balances sure.

Make a token. Altruists buy the token to fund the “miners”. They may also make a profit but they buy knowing most likely they wont and it is for a good cause.
How was he wrong? I remember this dust up but only now having actually read the whitepaper I see he was extremely alarmed by covid-19, which was entirely correct.

Further, it's apparently a very common thing in cybersecurity circles (though I've worked in cybersecurity for a decade and don't recognize the idiom, but my experience is more in software dev than research), so I don't really get why he'd stop even if he got a prediction wrong.
>> Furthermore, the accuracy of tumor identification has reached 90%.

How is this accuracy calculated? Further in the article it is noted that there is no patient data saved by the project:

>> He said that he’s not sure actually how many people have used it because the data is not saved on the server due to patient privacy concerns. But during that time, he received a lot of thank-you emails from patients, many of them from China.

Considering user privacy is laudable in my opinion, but I'm still curious to know how accuracy is known.

On the State of Terra in 2022
I've never seen it on my local PBS station. Is it actually aired anywhere?

It is streamable on the PBS website, and via the PBS apps on iOS, Android, Roku, Samsung TVs, Amazon Fire TV and others, but YouTube is still better.

As far as I've seen the PBS streams just include the episode itself, compared to the YouTube version which included the episode itself plus replies to points raised in the comments to the previous episode or two.

Also the PBS apps on some of those devices are buggy or have serious interface annoyances.

If you watch on the web on a platform where your browser can run an ad blocker, YouTube beats the PBS website because of the comment replies.

If you watch on the YouTube apps on a device such as a FireTV where you cannot block ads, I'd say YouTube still beats using the PBS on the device. The PBS apps often have 30 to 60 second promos for other PBS series. These aren't as annoying as YouTube ads, but can get pretty annoying after a while because there is a much more limited set. The Space Time episodes are short enough that most of the time you will only get YouTube ads up front, and those tend to be shorter than the promos in the PBS app, and often let you skip after 5 seconds.

Even if the ads in the YouTube ad are more annoying than the promos in the PBS app, I think for most people they won't be more annoying enough to counter the YouTube app being less buggy and having a better interface and including the comment reply segments.
Speaking for myself, I’ve never found a better way to understand something new.

You give the government an inch and, historically over and over again, they take a mile.

The Presidential Surveillance Program was justified using Smith v. Maryland. The argument was that, if Smith had no reasonable expectation of privacy for metadata in isolation, no aggregate of citizens had an expectation of privacy. Therefore mass surveillance of metadata is legal. You let the government see the phone records of one citizen without a warrant and decades later you have something like 33% of all email, TCP/IP, and phone metadata being collected and analyzed by a government agency without a warrant.

The old saying that the 1st Amendment doesn’t apply to “yelling fire in a crowded theater” was an argument a Supreme Court justice used to justify jailing a man for handing out anti-draft pamphlets. You let the government regulate speech that poses a clear and present danger and they use that to make it illegal to oppose a draft.
