My Swedish public health care dentist removed one of my wisdom teeth when I was 18 since "it'll have to come out eventually and from next year dental isn't free for you so might as well do it now"

My Japanese dentist has also continually kept pushing for me to remove one of my wisdom teeth since "its hard to keep clean down there"
When I see a comment on HN that says someone "just" needs to do something I always wince. There are so many things to consider here, even if universities weren't the bureaucratic labyrinth that they are. Quite apart from the discovery aspect of being on YouTube, where people already on YouTube are much more likely to stumble across Cornell videos when using certain search terms, it wouldn't "just" be spinning up a single server - it would involve all sorts of stuff like encoding videos, bandwidth detection, load balancing etc. etc. I'm not saying this might not be a good thing to do, particularly as a backup if their YouTube channel gets taken down for some reason, but it's almost never as simple as "just" doing something. I'd encourage anyone who catches themselves writing "just" in a sentence to have a deeper think about why a person or organisation isn't doing that.

From what I understand, one can't even change the title of the chat if it is SMS/MMS versus iMessage. That is a client side issue that Apple chooses not to allow, so I would argue, yes it is that petty.

I know it is a client side issue because in Chatty, I quite literally wrote the functionality to change titles of group chats.
It astonishes me that there are people who unironically believe that the American right has not moved further right than 2008.

They’ve made “any election we don’t win is, ipso facto”, fraudulent,” part of their core party doctrine. A view that will probably irreparably damage American democracy, but don’t worry, it’ll Own The Libs, and that’s what’s truly important.
That's my whole point, yet people come here to talk about what kind of strategy they use to deal with such nonesense without acknowledging the Sisyphean task of appeasing such managers, which in turn implies validation of such practices.
Why do you think it's absurd? If we do eventually create an AGI that is significantly smarter than us in most domains, why is it that we should expect to be able to keep it under control and doing what we want it to?

I feel the same way, deleted my account about 5 years ago and dont miss a thing.
Your experience notwithstanding, the data tell a very different story: in fact, those with records almost never get into trouble on the job. How do I know this?
1. There exists a federal bonding program that indemnifies companies that hire convicted felons when they're released. Over the course of more than 3 decades, fewer than 2 cases are filed annually.
2. SHRM (the Society for Human Resource Management, of which I am the Fair Chance Hiring Partner) conducts an annual survey with the Koch Foundation. Year after year they report that ~80% of all hiring managers believe the quality of hiring when hiring someone with a record is "as good as if not better" than hiring someone with no record. And, their retention is better. In HR, that's considered a homerun.

All mythology and ancient racism aside, businesses have come to realize more and more that hiring folks with records is not only the right thing to do, but it's very good business. QED
It is not unlikely at all.

Carving it himself -- or herself, we don't have any indication who, or that it was even a soldier who was aggrieved -- is one of many possibilities.

What is ignorant is to insist only the one alternative, among many, is possible, and that slaves were never ordered to do tedious chores, and that a soldier (or whoever) could not have had a slave, and that said slave could not be literate. All officious BS: what we have is a rock. What we know is, exactly, that somebody carved it.
There are lots of countries with lots of governance models, yet none as far as I know would have proactively banned any of those things early on.

I suspect that means there is a flip side we aren't seeing. It means there is a huge disadvantage to banning some probably harmful chemical. For example, if you were a small island and you banned imports of everything containing any PFAS, you'd end up in the technological stone age - there are no PFAS-free iPhones, food, paper, or shoes. So, unless you have your own shoe factory, your people will have to go barefoot...

PyGame is very basic- just a graphics library with some wrappers. Personally, not a fan of it though Im primarily a Python programmer.

I dont use Javascript much, but Phaser is a joy to use and I wish we had something like that in Python. There is Arcade, but they keep breaking the code.

Godot-- I liked for simple cases and games, but it became very hard for complex projects (Ive heard the same complaint about Unity)
I did this, and I had to use all of the ports, except for card slot.

Every time I had to connect or disconnect 6 cables, now I have to connect only one.
What about Tumblr requires an app to enjoy?
Yeah, I've done some useful things with pygame. My game business almost entirely uses Unity, but I do find that Python is helpful for tool development as, like you, I know the language well. Often it's a lot speedier to write a quick visual tool in Python that generates a bunch of json data that gets loaded in as a text asset and parsed, than it is to write the same thing as an editor plugin (at least for me!) Using Python + pygame or Python + PySDL2[0] gets you rendering stuff on the screen and receiving input, fast.

I've also used the Twisted Matrix[1] for some online TCP-based game server work, and that was pretty positive, though the library is quite daunting to figure out. That was 8 years ago though, perhaps there are better libraries nowadays.

Writing an entire game in Python might be an uphill struggle though. The interpreter is really slow, so a JIT alternative like Pypy[2] is very necessary. On my game server project I remember having to use a combination of Pypy and writing the tightest inner-most parts of my simulation loop in Cython to get the server tick to the target. As much as I love Python, if you're comfortable with Godot, it's probably a better long term investment with fewer headaches along the way.

> Asking to change teams is being complacent and making it someone else's problem.

It always was someone else's problem. If your manager wants the benefit of your insight and perspective, it is their responsibility to create a team culture which enables you to share it.

As much as people wish that they can get SSO for free, I don't think it's realistic for many companies. There are a lot of different SSO standards out there, and even among the most common type (SAML2) there are many different SP and IDP implementations that you have to interface with to make SSO work properly. Then there are issues around attribute syncing, patching XML vulnerabilities on your implementation (which seem to occur regularly), dealing with customers updating or patching their own implementations, homebake obscurities in implementations for things like NameID and attribute, and myriad other complications.

At minimum I think it's reasonable to charge for SSO onboarding and maintenance on as as-needed basis.

Author here: it would be a good point of comparison, to generate a random network and look at the same statistics. I will do this maybe in a future article.
Edit on top because this is very close to me and makesy blood boil.

Right now this is what's going on. My best friend John lives with his grandmother Connie who raised him. Last November, so 7+months now, she found out she has lung cancer. Doesn't smoke, but that doesn't matter.

Connie is the sweetest woman and reminds me of my Grandma. Not a mean bone in her body, would do anything for you.

She had to wait ~4 months to get the referral from her doctor. Once she had that she could begin oncology.

3 months later she still can't get an appointment. Connie has tried and called repeatedly, as has John and his other family members.

They are broken watching her waste away, and she can't even get in to begin assessment much less treatment.

So tired of people with statistics which can be and are gamed, or people with money and insurance assuming everyone does.

Connie is going to die, she knows this, and her last few months are nothing but terror and frustration and sadness all around.

Original comment+My 3 family members who died to cancer. Being in the cancer wards and oncology centers and getting to know lots of patients.

This is the reality. If you have money and insurance cancer will break you. If you have nothing it is almost a guaranteed death sentence.

But hey, you've got a statistic!
> These institutions are big enough to host their own videos - we don't need a new platform, they just need to spin up a server and to pay for their own bandwidth.

That’s why companies emerge - people don’t want to acquire specialized skills. And that’s why as a technology manager I choose to buy over building more often than not.
i do not see anyone here that thinks that employee in this situation, should report behavior of this manager to HR.
I believe this is one of the purposes of they existence. they should talk more people there this manager works with and then discuss that with both sides.
I'm also surprised that before firing, HR didn't try to discuss with employee about issues that manager was having.
He's not subtle, which may rub some the wrong way, but there are a lot of substantive points here.

Is it really hypocritical of Elon to want free speech on Twitter, but also say that employers can fire employees who violate policies and/or bad mouth their company to the public?

That doesn't seem inconsistent to me.
No one could truly be naive enough to believe that that man will not start imposing his own will and fancy over Twitter if the posibility presents it self to him, could they?
To be fair, I have a record and I've never been convicted of any crime. Any police interaction beyond a speeding ticket, whether or not it involves charges, and whether or not you're convicted, will result in an official police record of the interaction (or the charges, if applicable).

I was charged with a lot of counts of some nasty-sounding (non-violent, non-sexual, non-financial) stuff that was dropped almost immediately after I retained an attorney because it was completely bogus. I still have to explain it probably 25% of the time I have an employment background check done.
> Cold climate heat pumps (CCHPs) can provide high-efficiency heating in freezing temperatures without producing greenhouse gas emissions and can save families as much as $500 a year on their utility bills.

That's like one month of heat for free. A welcome respite, but hardly revolutionary. Slashing emissions is awesome though.
I get what you are saying, but these groups effectively operate as a DDoS attack against content they do not like. Content which is not promoting or showing anything "bad", it just violates their beliefs.

Those groups are, and would be, free to voice their concerns and beliefs on their own platforms, in their own buildings, etc. I am not saying they should not have an equal right to free speech, just that their should be a cost or penalty for trying to impose your beliefs on all of society via those kinds of organized actions.
Yet they said you won't see any of it around any soon.
Just to ask the most naive question possible... is this $170M of real money? Like someone put an amount thousands of times bigger than the average person's total savings into this, when they could have put it elsewhere?

By "different" I mean radically different. It's a different medium with different possibilities and challenges. I only know ASL other sign languages are less related to each other than spoken languages are (exception ASL derives strongly from French sign language)

The root problem is that language concepts from spoken/written languages don't map 1-1 onto.

Some examples:
- "pronouns" (really "referring to anybody or anything who isn't here to point at) are spacial. Things get assigned a location in the conversation to be gestured towards to reference them. This requires a level of spacial recognition that doesn't exist yet outside of VR with a lot of hardware. (Extra challenge recognizing the location of things that ARE NOT ACTUALLY THERE)

- descriptor/word order are very context sensitive (basically whatever order the signer thinks will refine things down for the watcher)

It doesn't encode well to enable the alignment based translations. Encodings exist for teaching purposes, but they are not easy to use for more relaxed used (that's is what signing is for). Corpuses don't exist for that either.

Modern translation techniques double down on having a large corpus and that basically all written languages have similar syntax structures even if the representations differ. Yes the "technology" exists in the same sense we know how to colonize the asteroids. We don't need a radical improvement of technology, just somebody to bother investing for decades without return. A hackathon isn't going to cross that void.

What I can't understand is how dental managed to escape medical coverage, not just in the US but seemingly globally. Just this year the main confederation of Swedish labor unions will be pushing for consolidation of dental into medical but... how did we even get here, especially considering how fragmented the dental industry seems to be (mostly comprised of small private practices with some public ones to supplement.) It's doesn't exactly seem like the industry most ripe for a cartel or conspiracy, yet here we are...
The only issue I have is on my phone. Whenever I leave my home wifi, it gets slow as hell and I have to do a reconnect to get to a new server. Usually the reconnect speeds things up a LOT.
That is quite understandable.

Does Youtube automatically delete videos? Does it automatically delete whole channels? At one point, about 4 years ago, they said their algorithm only flagged potentially violative content so that human reviewers could make a decision about it[1]. If that is still the case (and they may well have changed their policies, or been lying the whole time), it seems like all of the responsibility in the case of false positives like this rests on the human reviewers, not on the algorithms.

Often you separate the feature exploration environment from the infrastructure that executes a strategy. You may need to rebuild the feature calculation before deploying it into prod, but if you try to provide the quants with solid enough tools so they explore the statistics of features and models without having to think much about the built in error handling, that can work well to avoid the rewrite step. You probably end up wrapping numpy and pandas with a very opinionated internal view of how the business handles the kind of edge cases your team sees in your data.
On the contrary, I've been inside of institutions that appear to be a bastion of knowledge and expertise, a castle of wisdom and englightment; only to see the stilts that the whole thing is sitting on after entering inside. Having worked in extremely large corporations and government institutions, leading teams and people, auditing suppliers and vendors; it is humbling to see the contrast between external appearance and internal construction.

I think this entire post may be an experiment in misinformation? Nothing in here really adds up.

For one, Google didn't own YouTube in the 90s. In fact, YouTube didn't exist. So that reference to a "Google rep in the 90s" is clearly wrong. But let's assume they meant "the 2010s", which would be the most reasonable time for such an interaction.

Beyond that there doesn't seem to be much evidence that the Cornell account was de-platformed, or if it was, it was not for very long and clearly a quickly rectified error.

I support no prison sentences for VW... The engineers were meeting the letter but not the spirit of the rules, just as so many other companies do.

You probably have done the same when you did revision just before a geography test at school - you probably only learnt the syllabus rather than going to the library and learning everything in the geography section.

The VW engineers made a car that had only 'revised' enough to do well in the test, not to do well in the real world. Here is another example of engineers doing the same in a different industry[1].

Have you ever tried to range into a file with variable-length encoding? It doesn't go so well. This is one of the reasons (a little stale IMO, but historically reasonable) that the received wisdom for podcast formats is to use CBR audio, so as to make the naive seek algorithms used when streaming more reliable. Video's bigger and the human tolerances are smaller.

There are very, very smart people working on making video readily consumable over the internet. If "just use HTTP range requests" was a viable answer, I tend to think they'd have done it.

I find it interesting how much people's feeling of safety has become dependent on their access to a personal smartphone. I didn't even get a regular cell phone until high school, but I never felt like I was in danger. Now, even though everyone around me has a smartphone on their person, even I feel slightly uneasy when I don't have my own phone in my pocket.
