Yeah the US invaded Irak many years ago. Today we have Russia invading Irak and China threatening to invade Taiwan.

I think your analysis mixes up college degrees and graduate degrees. 'College degree' refers to a 4-year BA/BS, whereas 'graduate degree' typically refers to a PhD, Master's degree, or professional degree (JD/MD/MBA).
McCarthy thought Weizenbaum was a crank:

https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/1045264.1045265

"This moralistic and incoherent book uses computer science and technology as an illustration to support the view promoted by Lewis Mumford, Theodore Roszak, and Jacques Ellul, that science has led to an immoral view of man and the world. I am frightened by its arguments that certain research should not be done if it is based on or might result in an "obscene" picture of the world and man. Worse yet, the book's notion of "obscenity" is vague enough to admit arbitrary interpretations by activist bureaucrats."
Really sad :(

Unfortunately, this was on their 2015 hardware, which is much more limited and not upgradeable compared to their modern hardware:

Watches are worn on the wrist, so up is always the pinky side of the wrist.

The beauty of an analog watch is that it is a graphical display of time that doesn't even need numbers.

The hands indicate both a numeric time as well as a representative of how far through a day, hour, or minute you are.

This is the same reason that cars still have dial style gauges. The brain can parse the relative location of a rotary dial faster than it can parse 4376RPM.

Once you teach your brain how an analog clock works it reads as fast or faster than a digital clock.

> Highway Patrol Lt PV Riordan told the portal that the authorities are looking into whether the automated features were involved in the crash. The report further suggests that previous autopilot-related crashes were linked to the Teslas' cameras being confused by flashing lights and reflectors on stopped emergency vehicles

A bit disingenuous to say that they dont know if the autopilot or any automated feature was involved AT ALL, and then proceed to insinuate that teslas cameras and autopilot are so bad, they might as well be responsible.

Weird.
100,000 regular cars crash, no news. 1 Tesla crashes, plastered all over the news
Correct. It's not even a pejorative, it's so standard.

At least I'm not a "heavy user" at a fast food chain (also real).
Android does this too, though you have to go into the app switcher for it to work. Super useful.
There really was at the time the concept of "the tyranny of the majority". The whole notion of "rights" is specifically to limit the power of the majority.

The majority normally never needs to have its rights protected. The majority serves itself. Minorities are who need protection.
This is completely incorrect and fundamentally misunderstands the drug supply chain. The price cost plus lists as typical are just made up. The price they have is just a markup on top of the acquisition price that every pharmacy gets. And the savings the claim are often comparing brand prices to generic prices. First, the consumer view of a brand price is not the same as the 'net price' paid by medicare (there are 20% to even 90% discounts handed by pharma to medicare directly). And second, brands are only dispensed when argued for by the prescriber.

The waste and high prices in the system is generated by pbms taking massive discounts from pharma (of which they keep a %) for brand drugs that shouldnt be covered or often even sold.

Cost plus pharmacy is vaporware - they are a website which applies a flat markup on top of third party pharmacies that will ship you the med. There are no special discounts, they literally aren't doing anything.

This makes me feel old. I saw it for the first time in 2014 on HN, just when it was announced. I felt kind of envious of Kevin Kwok, author of this project. I had just graduated and he was still an undergrad. He had already shipped so many complex projects, including a full-fledged Flash Animator[1] for the web.

It's pretty surprising to see that his site hasn't been updated since 2015 and not many projects have been shipped since then.

Involvement of Autopilot is not confirmed, yet.

> … the authorities are looking into whether the automated features were involved in the crash.
My experience has been in tech, so I don't have information handy for other sectors.
Related to the story's underlying topic, as an immigrant I find significant attitudinal/philosophical differences in how I regard saving money and spending money versus, for example, my American coworkers and friends, especially younger ones who grew up around relatively well-off families. Maybe the affection for Costco embodies that. I'm sure I sound like an old fart for saying this, like "those younguns don't know the value of a dollar any more".

By comparison at least, they are much freer with their money and don't have the same baggage about it. An example especially apparent for me is their willingness to spend on clothing, where I just can't bring myself to do it. Maybe just not having been brought up around parents who were ever dressed that nice, or allowed me and siblings to be. Or for example, their lack of concern about overpaying for small things, which yes in the bigger picture, who cares if you're overcharged for a drink once in a while?

I suppose it's because the information or concern about not having money was already passed down or imposed on me as a lesson early in life (whether intentionally or not). Sometimes I view it as an advantage as I see that my friends (those spending freely) will encounter those lessons when they get married, have kids, etc. and need to save. On the other hand, I wonder if I'm just handicapping myself with that baggage and not allowing myself to enjoy the freedom that a good income now brings, and living too much in the restraints of my family's past...
Lots of cars have been in the news when it is suspected that defects have caused crashes. Pick a manufacturer and they’ve probably had a model marred by safety scandal.
China has also invaded Vietnam

Russia has also invaded Afghanistan

FYI
Why not just read the article and find out?

“The results showed a device that would perform above 80 percent of its peak efficiency under continuous illumination for at least five years at an average temperature of 95 degrees Fahrenheit. Using standard conversion metrics, Loo said that’s the lab equivalent of 30 years of outdoor operation in an area like Princeton, NJ.”

Sounds pretty near your benchmark!

What I would really like is a little bit like this but not quite the same: full text search over everything I have ever seen on the computer. It would read and index the emails, web pages, word docs, etc as I open them, then later when I think "I know I saw a doc about cache oblivious algorithms", I can search for it without being distracted by 100K documents I haven't seen. Or I can find that email I read, without finding the same phrase in a bunch of junk mail I never opened.

Does anything remotely similar exist?
Fear of failing in this field is giving me severe senioritis
This is quite a personal post. I just want to ask this community's advice because I feel like my life is going in a downward spiral already.

First off, I'm not from the US or any country which has a major impact on global tech development. Most tech jobs here are either in big local companies or in outsourcing.

I'm currently in my senior year but has been struggling to finish my senior project for more than two years already (yes, I've been a senior for that long) because I'm too afraid to graduate and enter the tech field. I'm actually losing interest in my project as time goes by and my passion for most things tech-related has been dwindling. Trying to do anything about it just makes me think how much "I hate this work."

Some of my peers in other fields actually say they envy me for choosing this degree because based on their perception, it could lead me to a job that could make me well-off. However, seeing how much work I need to do (i.e. through constant studying and learning) just to have a steady career, it's making me question if I really made the right choice in terms of my education and possible career paths. Moreover, I'm starting to feel the pressure of the job market seeing how more people are entering this field because "this is where the money is." Not to mention the job cuts I've been hearing about because of global recession.
If by "mitigate" you mean "completely solve", then you're committing an error of being blind to incremental solutions.

If by "mitigate" you mean "make less painful", then indeed it is enough, as it's a step in the right direction.
I don't know about this company, but I've used something similar at other companies, and it involved loading a web site that's unbearably slow and picking a desk on a map of the floor plan daily. Maybe 6 clicks and 10 seconds of waiting for the thing to load if everything goes well and you don't have to zoom around the map or change buildings or floors. What's flow anyway?
I probably wouln't want to wear an expensive watch while doing intense activities that would experience that kind of acceleration, but maybe that's just me.
Does Naptha still work? I recently reviewed all installed chrome extensions and it seemed broken, so I removed it.
This is all solvable.

For the people who are downvoting me, you do all realise that I'm not comparing a pure-software website to some embedded IoT thing, right?

Most of my examples are hardware with software as "necessary evil" vs hardware with software "being taken seriously."

Apple TV is a hardware appliance that takes the software seriously.

My Samsung "flagship" TV is a hardware appliance that does not.

They both get updates. One gets frequent updates that makes the product noticeably better. The other gets infrequent updates that have made it worse.

Cars from most manufacturers are hardware with trash software.

Tesla sell the cars, but unlike their competition their cars are regularly updated with new software. They have weekly(fortnightly?) updates rolled out to their for their beta testers! Not exactly daily CI/CD, but compare this to Toyota. They literally never release updates for most models, ever. And it's not like their 1.0 release is perfect! Mine has a bunch of small bugs and irritations that they should have patched... but never ever will.

It's not a question of "alternate process" or a "different workflow". They have no process! Their release strategy is "don't"!

Apple is about to release a complete car software + hardware suite. So not something you plug in, but the entire "avionics" as it were will come as a OEM part from Apple instead of the car manufacturer.

They're going to wipe the floor with their competition. The screens and software from GM, Ford, Audi, BMW have nowhere near the quality, commitment to updates, backporting of new features, etc, etc...

I will literally stand in line outside of the dealer to get a new car that has this style of Apple-made hardware+software instead of a lump of metal with paint on it and fabric on the inside.

Because I know it will get updates, and that those updates won't make things worse.

Fun fact, if you get the upgraded membership and don't spend enough to make up the difference from the regular membership, they will refund you the difference if you ask.

So technically it doesn't make any sense to not get the premium membership as long as you're willing to float them the difference for a year.

I wish I had your optimism and think that the money the US sends over is to "pay Ukrainian pensions".

That money will find its way to corporations, corrupt officials, warlords, weapons manufacturers. Very little of that money will be spent to actually help the average people there and ease their suffering.
Here's two major situations that the NHTSA was involved in that affected Ford, Toyota, Honda, and other non-Tesla companies

----
"On March 6, 2000, NHTSA began a preliminary inquiry and on May 2, NHTSA began an investigation (PE00-020) concerning the high incidence of tire failures and accidents of Ford Explorers and other light trucks and SUVs fitted with Firestone Radial ATX, ATX II, and Wilderness tires"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firestone_and_Ford_tire_contro...

Which led to a massive loss for Ford and Firestone

----

A massive airbag recall due to corrosion in certain environments
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takata_Corporation

"On June 23, 2014, auto manufacturers BMW, Chrysler, Ford, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, and Toyota announced they were recalling over three million vehicles worldwide due to Takata Corporation-made airbags. The reason was that they could rupture and send debris flying inside the vehicle. This was in response to a US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) investigation that was initiated after the NHTSA received three injury complaints."

-----
Just because this is a current investigation and Elon Musk likes to play the victim while being one of the richest people in the world, doesn't mean there's some bias against Tesla.
I would cry.
The art world seems to think so.
100,000 regular cars didn't make the decision to kill their occupants though.

Drunk drivers kill people so we try to prevent drunk driving, If cars are occasionally killing people due to a design flaw they should be investigated.

Don't worry though - Tesla will say that autopilot deactivated 10ms before impact and that it's all the drivers fault and people will go back to ignoring it
You have to understand that, for the rest of the world, seeing the US act is if invading another country was the worst thing anyone could do is highly hopocritical

From what I understand the Chinese are still working on duplicating far more common movements from the likes of Omega and Rolex. They have certainly mastered the external components, but the giveaway for fake chinese watches is always the movement.

If it was possible for me to travel back in time say just 1 hour, where would I end up in space?

Earth is moving through the solar system and solar system through the Milky Way and Milky Way through the local cluster.

So if I went back in time 1 hour I assume I would end up in empty space because one hour ago the location where I am now did not have Earth in it.

Or I might end up inside Earth. Or some other planet or star. How do you time-travelers control where you end up in space?
I would agree that high-value donors definitely access a side-door. I know of one university that had an admissions officer who dealt with children of famous people and big donors.

But I think that children of faculty and legacies are not as clear-cut a case. For example, it takes a lot of skill and hard work (and luck) to become a faculty member at Harvard. If you are still there when your kids are college-aged, you are very likely tenured. It would not at all be surprising if your children were significantly above-average in terms of academic achievement. This would be the result of your intelligence, drive, mate selection, and parenting. The fact that your kids are much more likely to get into Harvard (probably around 40%, versus 4%) is due in large part to these facts. The admissions office may put a thumb on the scale, but it's undoubtedly the case that the average faculty child applicant has higher qualifications than the average Harvard applicant.

These same arguments apply to legacy admits, but to a much lesser degree. Harvard did not used to be much of an academic/intellectual filter, but since the 90s or so it was very difficult to get in. If you are applying now and your parents went there, there's a good chance that the hard work and skill that got them in was passed down to you, by nature or nurture.

I don't disagree with you entirely, but I do disagree with the last sentence that frames 'meritocratic' admissions as distinct from children of legacy and faculty who are admitted at higher rates than the average applicant.

35C outdoors doesn't sound like much. Illuminated areas can trivially reach +10-15C of the temperature in the shade.

Edit: Article goes in more details, but they did fast age it in 100C, so it should be durable. That said, I'm still doubtful it would perform as well in real world, especially since global warming would raise air temperature. Did the 30 year models account for rise in temperature?

I shop at Costco for

- sea food, mutton, sardines, tuna, canned stuff, tomato and citrus fruits

- dog food and bird feed

And of course their food court pizza + hot dogs

Great place.

I agree with you that what Shopify is doing is bad and doesn't make sense. Freezing or taking money might be illegal. But I would think it's not illegal for Shopify to ban an account due to some system flagging it as suspicious, because I assume the Shopify TOS say they can do that.
