at this point the average Uber driver is no better than the average taxi driver, and the last time I compared the price of an Uber ride to the price of a taxi the taxi was 10% cheaper.

Uber got where it did by losing vc money and by ignoring laws. That fits my personal definition of bullshit company.
I'm not sure Valve would be considered "large corporation", at least at this point. Last time I checked, they had something like 300 employees. I'm not sure where the line would be for me to consider something a "large corporation", but at least 10000 would be my first guess.

You’re just way down the domino chain.

There is literally a geographical delay. Things like house price crashes take time to spread. The more remote you are, the less connected you are to the global economy. Scotland is relatively isolated.

Wow! Will you eventually implement multithreading?
Interesting. Did a little more digging and it looks like both are used for air dusters, with 134a being marketed for "energized circuits" because it's non-flammable (e.g. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005DNR066). 152a has ~1/10 of the GWP as 134a.

In any case, it's still amazing to me how restricted these are when used as a refrigerant, but then they're sold to consumers to spray on whatever they want. It really undercuts the environmental impact of these chemicals.
Can someone explain this frog in boiling water reference. I had never heard it before and now I have seen it on HN 4 times in 24 hours. What gives?
So far in my market even accounting for the drop in prices, monthly payments were slightly larger.
I just want to say you missed Chase Bliss when mentioning good function and good form. Especially their Automotone series pedals (e.g. CXM1978 and their preamp). I find all of their pedals aesthetically pleasing and easy to use (with some bit of mystery akin to Eurorack like another commenter mentioned)
> Yet, planted https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agent_provocateur

A planted agent definitely in the realm of possibility, but it is just more likely that some kids took a chance to get angry, violent, and cause chaos. Some combination could also have happened (e.g. a plant takes advantage of enraging people who are already closed to being enraged). In all cases, better leadership and some practiced discipline that comes with that could have helped avoided the problems.
I dunno, maybe there was a wrong turn -- or maybe just you're responding to rapidly changing conditions.

But if there was a wrong turn, and now you're error correcting, that still seems quite a bit different from, "Lol what does this doofus know, he's just an idiot."

> Come back when drugs and hospital stays stop costing twice as much as the rest of the developed world, and then I'll believe that insurance companies are doing their negotiating job.

How are they supposed to negotiate if there is only 1 hospital in an area or a drug company owns the patent to a drug so they are the only seller? The insurance company is mandated to cover emergency care at the hospital and pay whatever price for the medicine if it has sufficient efficacy data, per the laws.

When there are generic drugs available, insurance does pay less for those drugs.

I wrap it in aluminum foil and never have a problem.

Actually I think I have overestimated the salad fatality rate here by orders of magnitude. If one out of every hundred thousand salads killed the eater then many, if not most, people who eat salad regularly would die of food poisoning or choking on salads rather than (as they in fact do) of heart disease, cancer, and infections.
Could fix that by making assisted suicide an option for the patient. Patient has to live, and want to live.
Most crypto scams involve hyping some token, a form of market manipulation, or other classic financial scams. That's a bulk business based on PR.
Running a long con uses a different mindset. It involves conning individuals one at a time. That takes a lot of effort per customer and experience in one on one selling. That's not the usual crypto scammer's MO. This is more like classic long con people pivoting to a new product line.

The thing to look for here is who's behind the fake brokerages. It takes work to crank up a fake brokerage. In the binary option scams, it turned out that one company, SpotOption [1] was providing most of the software and expertise. They offered scam brokerages as a service. That's what needs to be tracked down.

Send me these talks. I genuinely want to see it, I’m willing to change my opinion on HD maps if it’s true.
The dataset would be the hard part.

I played around with Sentence Embeddings and Sentence Similarity.

I thought about being able to compare a sentence with "Happy" and get a score between them. This could be a generalized solution for a nlp problems.

I noticed it tended to match things a little different than I would expect. I would expect the subject of the sentence to match first.
It passes the imminence test which was further defined in Hess. It might fail the likelihood test, but of course, there was no legal action taken against this person so we're just making hypotheticals about what would happen if they did take legal action.

1A protects you from laws or actions that prohibit your speech, they don't protect you from people asking you not to engage in that speech.
Eh. I think what you're describing is step 1.

Step 2 is people online hearing other people talking like it has real significance to them, perceiving it as a real important norm, and then persecuting others for it.
This is entirely correct. A basic example is how the US doesn't prioritize SAM systems to the same degree as Russia. This doesn't mean the US isn't capable of producing similar or even superior systems at volume, it's just that it doesn't make sense given the overwhelming scale of the US Air Force. Likewise there's a similar relative de-emphasis on some forms of artillery.

Now after shaking off decades of counter insurgency warfare and pivoting to address a multipolar world instead it's not surprising they want to change up the mix. It doesn't mean there's some dire technology or capability gap fundamentally however.

Military stuff is entire operational systems vs other operational systems, yet nearly all these forum warrior conversations treat it as some sort of swipe left or swipe right pairwise comparison of two pieces of specific equipment.
10 cents for 1 million boilers is only 100k. That's about the price of an additional engineer, so it may very well be worth it to move up in abstraction instead.
Next step is pharmacies. Find out which step in the chain is overpricing. The manufacturers, PBMs or local pharmacies, etc.
> But the Amish do receive mail and use phones.

I am assuming you don't mean to generalize to the degree that is being conveyed at first glance in your explainer comment.

Amish people are not a monolith. As a culture it is quite a spectrum, from Beachy to Swartzentruber.
I think billion dollar valuations would suffice to be "large corporation" to me. Valve meets that.

I'm not sure. Less than half US households have at least a gun, considering 120 arms every 100 people, there's quite a concentration.
Also, commonsense tell me that, if armed, criminal comes in already branding the gun, to react quickly people inside should always have a gun with them, even when inside home. I don't know if US people is used to, I would find it a terrible way of living, a way of fear.
I agree with this.

For what it's worth my solution which may not work for others is to set the default ring/text tone to "None" and then add custom ring/text tones in my address book on my little throw away flip phone. It works great for me personally. I never get distracted by bots and just mass delete their messages without even looking at them when I get around to it. This method probably will not work for people glued to their phones.
It seems like the cap should be unnecessary in the near future if we have full price transparency.
I glanced at the latest amendments to the UK bill and it includes such ridiculousnesses as the possibility of 1 year imprisonment for stealing a traffic sign, and the right for police to search your person for carrying a lock.

Your original comment is still textbook whataboutism, however, and deserves its downvotes for that reason alone.

>In case you're wondering, you're likely being downvoted because the person you responded to asked, seemingly in good faith, if you had any tricks or tips for improving jarred garlic (e.g. by preparation or brand choice.)

I don't have any useful suggestions and said so. Should I lie?

>To respond by quoting the very comment they replied to comes off as unnecessarily defensive and doesn't seem to assume good faith.

Except the comment they replied to was this one[0] (I checked to make sure before responding), not the one I quoted[1]. In fact, GP posted their comment before I posted the comment I quoted.

I will say that clicking the "parent" link in GP's post (as I did) would have confirmed the above for you.

I know what's in my mind and I wrote in good faith only to express my thoughts and ideas.

If other folks don't like what I say or how I say it, so be it. I don't require their (or yours, for that matter) approval.

That's not an attack on you (or anyone else) or an attempt to be mean or unpleasant. It's just how I see it.

I don't even resent the downvotes. People wiil do as they do, and unless there's a material impact on me, I don't really care.

For certain types of photography (for example low-light) it's important to remove them if you care about quality, I think software for getting rid of hot pixels came first. All you need is enough suitable shots from the same camera, so it's sort of trivial. Of course this can also be used as a sort of fingerprint, so it's true that if you want to share photos truly anonymously you need to get rid of those pixels in addition to the metadata.

In the more populous parts of America, Italian pizza is one of six or seven varieties one can find, generally (though not on the West Coast) dominated by the local take.

I've had pizza margherita in Italy, and at least three large US cities: the one in Rome was better, but frankly, that's probably because I was in Rome when I ate it. It was the same sort of pizza you get from Italian pizza joints in the States.
The police can do that - however, they need reasonable suspicion for it. I have refused to be tested for alcohol successfully in the past. I didn't drink anything, I just don't like such tests being routinely used when there is no indication that alcohol or drugs were consumed.

I could be wrong or I could be remembering that they were effectively killed by inserting a key loophole. I'll have to dig up my notes and probably do some research to figure that out.

My point about performance -- 2x, 10%y/y -- stands.
Ok, I found some answers.

The original research is linked in the OP: https://adalytics.io/blog/sanctioned-ad-tech-user-data -- this is much more informative than the ProPublica writeup. It includes a technical explanation of what's going on.

Basically, the accusation is that a sanctioned Russian company is listed as an advertiser ("Demand Side Platform") on Google's real-time bidding platform for ads. This means they get a blob of data for each impression that there is a bid on (this is "the bidstream data"):

> These can include: The URL, website, or app the consumer is on, Information about the consumer’s device, The consumer’s geo-location, The consumer’s IP address, Various demographic or behavioral attributes about the consumer (as supplied by the ad exchange or third party data brokers), such as gender, age range, or job occupation

These user IDs are anonymized but there's machinery to link the bid data to a cookie that the advertiser already has in their own system ("cookie matching").

They provide some evidence that even though RuTarget was OFAC sanctioned in April, Google may still be providing them the bidstream (and therefore presumably is selling services to an OFAC-sanctioned entity). This would be quite surprising if so, since a company like Google surely has processes to monitor the OFAC watchlist and automatically deactivate companies that are sanctioned.

My summary here is that the ProPublica article is incomplete and that makes it a bit misleading; reading the article one would assume the Russians were getting a dump of de-anonymized data, whereas in fact the finding is around them getting access to the bidstream, which is provides anonymized user data, that may in some cases be hypothetically de-anonymizable, or assist with other de-anonymization efforts.

I prefer "mexican blend" (cheddar, monterey jack, asadero, queso quesadilla) cheddar for garnishing Mexican-type foods. Pure cheddar is great stuff, but I'd prefer store-brand Mexican blend over grated Tillamook Sharp if I'm making a quesadilla. Keeping and grating those individually would suck.
We probably agree more than we disagree, but I'll just add my own daughters as data points. When they stayed home during covid, the oldest (not a good student) did better academically with the lack of peer / social pressures. My youngest (an exceptional student) did better academically too, which has since allowed her to jump way ahead in her studies and finally be recognized by teachers as an academic prodigy, whereas before they saw her as a social misfit.

So - I agree that it is good for kids to learn how to coexist with others, I also think there are lots of ways to accomplish that and that we might all give school credit for social outcomes that aren't a reality.
