Re: term limits. if we're permitting family name marketing and dominance, that's irrelevant. Interests will simply rule through the next person in line in the family.

Also, in the last two centuries of the western Roman Empire there was a new emperor every decade or less. Short terms did nothing to stop the authoritarian and tyrannical (and dysfunctional) nature of that rule.

Sufficiently powerful individuals will make term limits disappear anyways. (See Putin, etc.)

Brigading and PR spin is rampant with Uber online for some strange reason, when in truth, they could provide a far better service by relaxing their tendency to spin bad PR by paying and insuring drivers better, and by operating more like a legit Taxi business.

It is NOT Uber that swept in and fixed the corrupt transport for hire system... It was passengers choosing a less expensive (subsidized by company investment) service, which is now dramatically increasing in cost to users now that they have stable market dominance.

The online PR spins only hold up for people who don't properly recall the past and for those who are unaware of the deception involved in use of "folksy" individual personal tropes used to over-simplify complex issues.

Yes, I was responding to the last part of GP's comment ("Also I don't understand what does this have to do with climate change?").

I agree entirely, and thank you for providing a more thoughtful analysis.

My experience: when tech support are (very) competent, (very) patient, (very) people-loving people, left to do their work in a low-turnover place with no ticket system, it is (very much) more efficient in the short-term, and absolute magic in the long-term.

I happened to be looking for a similar portable music player / conference call headset recently.

My process was to first identify a close-enough product using a search engine like Google or Amazon, and identify the relevant search terms (in my case, "portable DAC Amp". Then, if possible, I'll find a specialty forum for that product niche, and read user reviews there and on Reddit, Amazon, AliExpress, and/or blogs and dig into products that users compare it to or suggest as replacements (or use "$PRODUCT vs" search queries and see what shows up on top).

Then finally read the product manual. This is a very manual and time-consuming process. Or you could just ask here on HN :)

For your requirements, I'd recommend putting Rockbox onto something like an iPod:

- https://www.rockbox.org/

- https://www.rockbox.org/wiki/TargetStatus

- https://www.rockbox.org/manual.shtml

[X] Plays from filesystem

[X] Support OGG, FLAC, other file formats

[X] Equalizer

[X] Shuffle, Fade, etc.

[X] Open source firmware

For my particular use-case, the objective criteria were slightly different:

[X] lightweight / has a clip: 25g, metal clip

[X] high quality audio output via audio jack, that can drive a headphone

[X] move the bluetooth antenna farther away from my head: https://news.berkeley.edu/2021/07/01/health-risks-of-cell-ph...

Since I use a phone for media storage, I dropped the "plays from filesystem" requirement, and can play virtually any audio format using apps.

- Fiio BTR5 (get 2021 or later version for better Bluetooth range):

[X] Display

[X] Easy to use interface

[X] equalization, but EQ does not work with LDAC codec

- Qudelix 5K (if you can drop the display requirement)

[ ] Display

[X] Very powerful/configurable app

[X] equalization with LDAC codec

$15000 a year including room isn't bad, but I can still get similar education much cheaper at a nearby CC.
you can tell yourself that all day long if it makes you feel better.

In Europe, uber is exploiting the most vulnerable in our societies, and profiting of the harm they do to people and communities.

Not to mention, breaking laws, endangering passengers, using outright evil methods to keep their workers money.

> it was certainly male dominated, with very clear gender roles

Note actual complaint: Girls studying the course, which is story-based, complained there were not enough female roles, and that those included were passive and undeveloped.

And actual solution: include more prominent female characters

As in, the updated course is not lying about gender roles. It is including really existing female character. Also, it is removing previous inaccuracy - "undeveloped" definitely counts as inaccuracy and if those female individuals were not passive framing them as such is inaccuracy too.

Side note: prominent women in patriarchal societies are typically not passive. Passive people rarely become prominent in any society. However, they operate under different constraints then men in the same society do. (Look at female rights activists that rose to some level of prominence in Arab world - they are not passive at all. Look at women who were "first woman" in something or ruling queens in Europe - they were not passive.)

As someone who has been architecting a paid “deep search” tool for a couple of years now ( my approach is trying to enable very deep search flexibility, like you can grip files on your hard drive, but balancing that against usability at internet scale is very hard ) I have been on board with the idea the “search is valuable enough to end users that they will pay” for awhile. The issue isn’t value, it’s marketing it successfully enough to gather users at a rate that covers costs. I haven’t launched my project even in private alpha to anyone because it still costs too much per search, for other search engines it will cost less and hopefully we get a healthy ecosystem of search tools eventually.

Based on what I’m seeing in google search quality… their days of unquestioned dominance died a few years ago. The king is dead, the prince (bing) is on vacation somewhere, and the crown is up for grabs.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

The first amendment doesn't necessarily directly apply (our understanding of the word "press" has broadened with time), but it is rather certain that this law will push us to improve our understanding of precisely where the rights of citizens and media will begin and end in practice.
America is at the very bottom of the developed world for education. Broadly speaking, providing school choice seems like a good way to fix it. Properly designed, charter schools can close achievement gaps (https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/06/opinion/sunday/schools-th...), allow academic excellence, and be more sensitive to cultural differences.

Specifically speaking, a good choice system ought to fund students and not systems, but ought to also provide checks-and-balances on those systems. Charters which work are found in states like Massachusetts, which have basic oversight of those charters. Arizona seems to lack that. We seem to have two types of systems:

Red states: School choice with no oversight

Blue states: Limited school choice with basic oversight

I'd like school choice with oversight. Basic oversight means:

- Non-profit, with proper board governance

- Comply with all relevant transparency laws (public records, FERPA, PPRA, etc.)

- Fair lottery; schools cannot pick-and-choose students who go there

- Some amount of standard data reporting

- Charters can't charge beyond the voucher amount

With that, I'd like to have an uncapped number of private charter schools.
fr it's scary how i watch ppl on it, they're like zombies. and yeah like half that shit is just girls "dancing" (shaking jiggly parts) in short clothes, like i mean that's fine but watching it all the time isn't healthy. look at how much is under #fakebody which is basically all people in short clothing trying not to get banned. and yeah probably you can make it show interesting stuff but it plays to people's weaker natures.

besides that literally the only reason we need to oppose tiktok is that it's chinese. i'm fine with them manufacturing commodity goods but they should not be providing any cutting-edge tech to us. personally i would like to see the government try to subpoena the tiktok algo from oracle and make it public so anybody can knock it off. that would be some poetic justice against china.

b) They'll just walk towards you, say you're breaking the law for filming, break your phone, beat the shit out of you and/or shoot you

c) It was always legal to do so. Now it isn't.
As an academic, I find that positive or negative sentiment isn't expressed in citations — it's expressed in the review process before the paper is published. Once a paper is published, academics assume that it's already been vetted and is good, and the citations rarely bother to express agreement or disagreement.

When I cite a paper, I don't include a sentence saying whether the paper is good; I say why it is good, because the author of that paper is likely to be reviewing my paper, and I need to acknowledge his strengths before differentiating my work, or he'll kill my paper in the review process.

My advisor taught me that the point of a citation is not to give your opinion on which other papers are good or bad; it's to tell the editors which other scientists should be on your paper's review committee. The way editors choose reviewers is to look through the citations, find people cited who they know, and then ask those people to review the paper.

Thus, the author's goal when citing other work is to (1) highlight potential reviewers who would see your work favorably, and (2) say something positive about them to put them into a mood to see your work favorably.

There is nary an incentive to express negative sentiment in citations.
It doesn't sound good. It's a law restricting something very important - ability to record people who were granted special powers, including killing. I don't understand the reasoning. Anything in public and anything visible from public areas should be allowed to be recorded.
To answer the question directly: No.

Why don’t we have a ‘smarter’ grid then?

it is an economics problem at heart, not a pure technical one. Until, the incentives align to solve the issue around big power monopoly, smarter regulatory bodies, the tech can’t do much.

Arguably, tech might be focused on the wrong side of things. That is a much better debate.
Interesting. The 'about' tab is particularly poetic.
My brother in law is a mechanic. He sees a lot of drivers who have a 3 year old car with 200k miles on them and basically a new car worth of repairs needed.

I also get a lot of happy drivers saying "this is my first day / week".

I see a lot of crazy driving too. All in all, it seems like there is a learning curve to being a profitable Uber driver. It is not necessarily easy to accomplish.

The ones who seem to anecdotally do best by it are the folks supplementing income by opportunistically taking fares here and there.
> You’ve replaced a terrible set of local players with a handful of international mega players who I'd argue are just as crap as the ones you've displaced.

You’ve clearly not used both a taxi pre-Uber or an Uber.
I’d wager my annual salary that a poll of users would rank the user experience of app based ride hailing as superior to that of the previous options. Uber didn’t even start out cheaper than taxis. They just slowly won out by being better. Cheaper just helped them grow faster later on.
I assume you’ve missunderstood the ramifications of this. Traffic stops are all within 8 feet, this means that no traffic stop can be filmed in Arizona, many people get assaulted or killed by police in traffic stops. If the police are within 8 feet of you then they are able to assault you and claim you attacked them and any recording you have won’t legally count even if it shows the policeman is lying. This law helps on group of people, police. Specifically, dirty police. A good police officer would say “I see you’re filming and I’m happy for you to keep filming even if we have to come within 8 feet”

> even if the cops are 100% doing the right thing by the book

Public scrutiny is only as issue for those who don't want to be publicly scrutinized. If they are doing the right thing, they should have not problem. They don't want to be scrutinized because they are 100% NOT doing the right thing by the book.
I said if this succeeds. I don't know if it will, but I can tell you keeping poor kids in crappy schools won't work. We need to try something and this could be it.
Has it occurred to you that your dislike for it may be due to the fact that you're not the target audience, rather than that there's a problem with the course? In your previous comment (since deleted), you noted that you had been programming for a few years before you tried it. It's an introduction to the subject, so you were bound to find a lot of it to be beneath you.

In my own experience working with a lot of brand new programmers, making the subject entertaining is 80% of the battle. Most introductions to CS are unbearably dry and do a very very poor job of motivating further study. The job of an introductory course is to give an overview of what you'll learn going forward and make you want to learn those things, and by all accounts (even yours) CS50 does that.

Suspect this is fantasy. $6500 doesn't buy much of anything when it comes to education. And like many other fictional reforms "choice" turns out to burden families with the least capacity to navigate the hodgepodge non-system that emerges. Of course religious and other non-critical-thinking indoctrination options are happy to take public money to grow their flocks, to the detriment of all.

Agda users rely heavily on unicode. It looks like they have editor support for it in the form of backslash sequences that turn into unicode.

They write stuff like:

Tyᴹ : (A : Ty) → {X₀ X₁ : Set} → (X₀ → X₁) → Tyᴬ A X₀ → Tyᴬ A X₁ → Set
Tyᴹ ι Xᴹ α₀ α₁ = Xᴹ α₀ ≡ α₁
Tyᴹ (ι⇒ A) Xᴹ α₀ α₁ = ∀ x → Tyᴹ A Xᴹ (α₀ x ) (α₁ (Xᴹ x))

I kind of get the "looks like math" thing, but I find the poor typography distracting.

Public education was such an amazing (dare I say progressive?) undertaking in 1800's America.

Even from just doing genealogy I often find the point where my rural farmer relatives went from being: "Can Read/Write?" : "No" to their progeny answering "Yes" in the decades that follow. (For whatever reason, it seems to have kicked off after the Civil War.)

No doubt it allowed the rural migration to cities where no doubt literacy (and math literacy) became increasingly important.

To return more or less to an era where only the wealthy get good educations is shockingly regressive in my mind.

Say what you want about the degree to which this is already the case with post-Secondary education and the better funding that even public schools get in the wealthier neighborhoods, exacerbating this trend is, in my opinion, not a good idea.

Often when this is pushed (whether through vouchers or similar) it seems to be an attempt to either reward the rich by returning their education tax dollars that they were foregoing anyway since their kids went to private schools or, worse, a mechanism to erode or destroy the fabric of public education in general.
All this effort and legal chicanery just to build a mediocre, unprofitable business.

That's not normal, it's deception.
Who exactly is claiming to have solved human-level AI? Can you give some examples of "gross level of charlatanism, wishful-thinking, scamming, delusion and out-right fraud"? I genuinely haven't witnessed any of that. In my experience, most AI people acknowledge that the timeline for AGI is unknown and that it will most likely involve yet to be discovered algorithms, not just throwing more data/processing power at it.
> This is one of the things that sound 'good' on the surface and are totally worthless in practice (especially when practicing minimal commits).

I feel like I disagree here.

Turning on Git Annotations in any JetBrains IDE and seeing who made changes, when and which Jira issue necessitated these changes right there is pretty useful. All of the sudden, you can easily say: "This method had been changed in 5 different commits in the last 3 years, what I probably need to read before making my own changes are issues ABC-123, ABC-236, ABC-455, ABC-855 and ABC-1233, to understand the business context and historical limitations behind all of this."

> Just use the commit message and in pr review enforce commit message norms.

I fully agree with this, but unless you squash your commits or rebase, finding out which MR/PR a particular set of changes belongs to isn't always immediately doable, especially when looking at things locally instead of the GitLab/GitHub UI.

Furthermore, the barrier of entry is higher: I always describe my changes and add a bit of context in the merge request/pull request description, sometimes even with GIFs or MP4 video demonstrations of what happens as a consequence of them. And yet, the majority of other developers have no desire to do that - I've regularly seen people leave those empty, and even commit messages are sometimes like: "try fix" instead of "make Ansible ensure that file permissions are set to have the newly created directory be readable by the group that will run the app".

In contrast, everyone is capable of adding a simple identifier to the issue management system and there are very few arguments that they can make against adding a few characters to the beginning, as opposed to: "But adding descriptions would take a lot of time and slow down development, I don't think we really need those because you should be able to read the code and understand everything."

Sure, you can enforce it in a top down manner, but it can be like pulling teeth at times, so you might as well ensure that at least the lowest common denominator is in place, before trying to find better approaches.

Exceptions to this might be small changes that don't really correspond to an issue, then you have two choices:

- create an issue yourself so the work doesn't become untraceable in the issue management/billing system you use
- just leave a short text description without issue identifier

The issue is that things are getting worse and politics are decaying. Eventually this will lead to the same thing as what happened in the US.

"Nobody walks up to a cop when he is questioning a suspicious person or arresting somebody and stands one or two feet away. Common sense says you’re asking for trouble," Kavanagh said on Arizona PBS.

Common sense tells me Kavanagh is a manipulative bullshitter. I am so tired of this governmental and corporate double-speak.

This should not require any new laws. If you are interfering with official police business, it's already illegal. If you are not interfering, then recording them should not be a problem.
