An argument well done, although not complete. (Yes, I know, the prevailing journalistic school of thought we have become adopted to is to always have an angle (single bend) toward which the entire argument is aimed at).

Im no Luddite, humanity's well being is due to creative forces of fashioning new resources, processes, and industries. However, we should always keep in mind when discussing these things that there are, generally two branches (which are not de-correlated): economic-requirements and human needs. A government (as evil and necessary as that institution is) when biasing a system only toward one extreme will find itself in the midst of revolutions at the other one. In a reasonably well constrained free-market economy system the role of government would not be to choose one over the other branch. [All monopolies, and I have yet to find an exception, are due to lobby of government/laws by private business... biasing the entire system in a uncontrollable way].

Transient balance is needed; building deep roots in physical reality of both, human needs and economic requirements for a particular society structure. This is not possible in totalitarian and/or purely socialistic systems of governments, yet, the west is not so slowly turning toward these concepts of governance. No amount of automation will solve these issues, since the other branch of the problem will suffer unbearable stresses until it breaks.
The models are complex and get data from many sources. If we assume they really do believe you live in the US, then it's odd for you to suddenly pop up and want a credit card with no other credit. Students get credit cards b/c they are student age and fit a risk model. It sounds like you're older.

Is your name on any of the house items like utility bills, deeds, etc...? Where do you pay taxes? How do you pay for things while living outside the US? Are you employed by a US company?

Keep in mind the people you speak to on the phone have no idea what goes into the model. They mostly read the same score/rejection that you do. My guess is the model is picking up signals you aren't in the US and that's causing the rejection.
Because they can.

You're unwilling to move to be paid more, or find a new job (which might be hard, as most companies are acting as a cartel).

Look up BATNA, and decide what you want to do about the situation - don't expect them to do anything about it.
oh my gosh, this deserves all the points!

Update: I'm continuing reading, if this turns out to be a clever marketing thing, I'll downvote and flag it, because that'd be emotional abuse on a level I can't accept.

Update 2: Oh screw you. This is just a job posting.. seriously.. Fuck you.

This is just another gate to a walled garden.. The issues described, the lost magic, is BECAUSE of this kind of thinking.. We don't need another tool.. We don't even need better tools.. We need better culture.. We need less webapps, less services and more hardware in our livingrooms.
We need a culture that embraces the computer as an instrument for thinking, one that exposes the machine, not abstracts it away. There's so much more to write, but, unlike you, I won't waste the readers time any longer, since I also don't have any solution to this problem.

Biomanufactured materials have been here for decades. Beer is a biomanufactured material. Quorn is vat grown mycelium. Some drugs are made from modified yeast. Sauerkraut, kefir, yogurt, kimchi. Lots of foods come from animals and plants, often hybridized or genetically modified. Maybe biomanufactured is not the right word to use here. Something like "synthetic biology" would be closer to what the article seems to be about. Ah, they do mention sythetic biology. Funny there is no mention of quorn though.
B5 is very common in Japanese stationary, in particular those silky-smooth notebooks.
Are you interpreting my comment to mean that there is a measurable health impact from the 2nd hand smoke of 1 cigarette?

The EPA and the CDC have outlined the risks of 2nd hand smoke pretty clearly and convincingly, with a plethora of citations, if you care to google it.
>Battery replacement after 10-15 years negates any gas savings in that period.

Bullshit. https://www.geotab.com/fleet-management-solutions/ev-battery...

And these are for 10-year old EV. Battery packs made today won't have to be replace after 15 years, and they'll certainly be used as stationary storage past their time on wheels.

More importantly, most EV will switch to LFP chemistry (already more than half Tesla's vehicles production), which degrades even less.

Full stack consultant and solutions architect with over 10 years of experience. Over the past years, I've helped organisations of all sizes and industries to build microservices and APIs, automate their processes, harden their platform security, and improve the overall quality of their software. In my last engagement, I helped a major international retailer build a sales forecasting application powered by ML models and crunching millions of data points. Along the way, I also helped them adopt best DevOps practices and enhance their API security implementations across the board.

I'm also the author of "Microservice APIs" (https://www.manning.com/books/microservice-apis), a frequent blogger and speaker, founder of microapis.io, and I run a very popular series of workshops about building microservices and APIs with Python (https://microapis.io/workshops).

How can I help you?

- Are you struggling to implement your microservices strategy?

- Are you struggling to deliver reliable API integrations?

- Do you suspect your APIs may not be properly secured?

- Does your software need a quality upgrade?

- Would you like to adopt best DevOps practices?

If the answer to any of the above questions is yes, I'm your guy. Bear in mind I specialise in Python, so I'll be more helpful if you work with that language too.

Feel free to drop me an email at hello@microapis.io for any questions or to discuss how we can work together, or schedule a meeting with Calendly (https://calendly.com/joseharoperalta/let-s-talk).
"This is a machine that was built up formerly against 8chan"

It's cute that the narrative has turned to completely wash KF of any and all blame when it comes to getting 8chan (including post Jim Watkins era spinoff/clone 8ch) pushed off the internet. He mentions personal drama, but hey, when it rains, it pours.
I can fully understand your frustration. Out of curiosity, where exactly do you live (country)?

I think that you can frame this issue the following way: the pay in country X, compared to a richer country like US or UK or Australia, is a function of cost of living in country X, but also "competition" in country X. Meaning, most other jobs like yours in country X pay at a certain level, which is maybe 1/2 or 1/5 of what you get in the US. But employer knows that, and therefore doesn't have to offer much more than that to convince you to take that job.

Some of what your boss is saying sounds like BS to me. But the hard truth is that you don't have a lot of options. An alternative could be to do freelance work for US-based customers. If you're really good at your job, you should be able to get close to, or even surpass, the pay of a salaried person like you in the US.

I can humbly suggest you to read some books or blog posts on career development. Most of them, IMHO, are not very deep or informational, but there are some gems in the mix. Sorry I don't have one to recommend.
Many people who have looked into the matter have disagreed with that take. It's fine to disagree, but slamming anyone down as ignorant is not constructive.

Furthermore, RationalWiki is hardly a neutral site, especially on matters like this. Specifically, some members have a long-running irrational beef with KiwiFarms (I used to edit there fairly frequently back in the day). That it includes information on the site owner's mom – who has no proven relationship with the site beyond that there's an account with her real name, which proves nothing – and that it links to an extortionist "mugshot site" for her proves that the article is not as "rational" as one might hope.
CA, NV for instance.
I theory yes, but ipfs covers the distribution and publishing, not the editing. There would still have to be some stateful service for account management, posting, etc. that would suffer the same issues as the current service.

On top of that, access at two biggest gateways would likely be filtered since one is a hobbyist service and the other is cloudflare, so everyone would have to run their own nodes.

So in practice - no. Only an archive of the current state.
Fully agree! In the case that tabular data means business process records, there's absolutely no need to use anything more complicated than a principled statistical model. Focus on the quality of the data and the business problem, not exotic ML.

In more detail: the business data is prone to: evolving processes / systems / products / markets / customers; errors / omissions / corrections; tail events; hirings / firings; data loss; etc etc. The datasets tend to be small, messy, complicated, subjective. Nothing about this suggests needing a large, complicated model.

Or more precisely they wish to inflict their ideals through governance on everyone else. No need to inflict anything on them because they are already true believers.

Does that mean all Apple devices phone home about everything found nearby all the time?
I have to wonder, is this satire? package.json is notorious for not pinning dependencies by default, leading to unexpected behavior such as dependencies being updated to new minor versions when you run `npm install`, which fails the principle of least surprise.

You'll usually only learn about this after getting bitten by a bug in an auto-updated dependency and at that point you'll learn to manually pin your dependencies and use commands such as `npm ci` instead of `npm install` in your build pipeline.

As such, navigating around the NPM world is anything but easy. There are razor sharp edges and footguns lying around everywhere, just waiting for you to use them.

So your mistake is thinking, they have trademarks, they're American, they have documents are well formatted, no type-os, the advertise, they're incorporated, and more than anything they have money.

But it's not like similar industries.

It's the industry of treating you like shit. You are biomass to them, they want 20% interest while paying 1% interest (like two years ago), you can't compare saying it's a 19% spread what it is is the 18th power of the interest they pay. That's very abnormal historically, most usurers in the Middle Ages getting the whole town to kill them for their avarice had much skinnier spreads. 18th power is very unusual. Stretches out their time by a factor of 18. It's like street businesses, like crack dealing or pimping, which perpetually insult the people who are the foundation of their wealth.
Last thing I heard was that they were still somehow accessible, but this was just discord talk.

What is the “non proprietary” alternative and why should Apple or it’s users be forced to wait on consensus?

This is the same reason that Apple wasn’t saddled with the horrible PC “standards” before USB became ubiquitous.

Not to mention even today, Bluetooth is a shit show outside of the Apple ecosystem as far as handoff an ease of pairing.
After writing (and deleting) a long response, I finally get your point.

You are trying to heat your home, so putting something outside to chill, is to waste heat, but putting it in the fridge would be like recycling that heat from the fridge to your room which should alleviate your room's heater burden.
They also die because the author dies, sadly enough.
Don't worry they do that as well. First VPS I got had been completely blacklisted at the provider level and they were refusing everything with 550. Support didn't reply either.
I've been trying for the past week or so to break into the self-hosted email game since I had a VPS and found some tutorials and documentation for postfix + dovecot. I did eventually get inbound and outbound email working although I was using an alias when I think I needed to use a virtual mailbox (to both receive and send email from a user with a different name from the unix user behind it, as right now outbound still leaks my unix username).

But then I looked at Protonmail's cost and it's less than I'm paying for my VPS (which is already cheap for the use I get out of it) so I'm on the fence whether I keep hammering away at that (and then have to wrestle with the big players treating me like a spammer and do my own spam filtering) vs just pay for that convenience. The VPS is staying in any case so it's just a question of whether I pay a little more every month for convenient secure mail.
Maybe officially but I don't know many people born in the UK who would give (when asked) their height in centimetres. Weight is a little more even split - using kilos is becoming more common but most conversations I have with people still use stone. The NHS's BMI calculator defaults to feet/inches and stones/pounds although you can switch to CM/KG.

I don't understand, you say the reporting mechanism mitigates all the issues?

Airtags are convenient, user friendly. So they are widely used even if there might be technically better alternatives. They would not work as well without half of the planet having iphones. So criticizing Apple is fair.
Agreed on 32gb min. My partner has the 16gb model and I have the 32 and developing on hers feels half as fast, it's noticeably slow.
No, nothing. Just a very vague sentence about "flagged due to suspicious activity".

Generally all social media seem to offer very little information. And probably for good reason: If a black-box non-interpretable deep net flagged me, the company itself may not really have a good explanation. Perhaps all the people that moved their mouse really fast that day over thr screen where found to be (spuriously) correlated with fraudulent behavior. Did you move your mouse too fast? Bad luck, now your account is restricted. Of course no one could tell you that, if that is what is going on, so companies resort to vague statement.

There really should be a law (or a lawsuit?) about this.

Hey LinkedIn, if you're reading this pop me an email jellymax@protonmail.com to get my account unstuck before I'll drag your name through the mud all over he place! :D
> net benefit of such projects to the society

If by “net benefits” you mean “helps in many cases but sacrifices a few people due to false positives”, then I see your point.

But you never really said why the author was wrong. You just expanded your critique of the author himself.

The author has valid concerns, and one doesn’t need to be an AI researcher to know that content analysis AI is woefully unreliable thus far. We see examples nearly every day here on HN where these systems (often Google’s or YouTube’s) have made wrong judgements that defy explanation.

I read a report earlier that the suicide rate in the United States increased from 16.99 percent in 2011 to 20.86 percent in 2020. The overall suicide rate has risen slowly over the past decade.
https://www.couponbirds.com/research-center/data/suicide-is-...
Suicide is a serious problem, many times people do not get the corresponding care and guidance and choose to end their lives. Governments and communities need to pay more attention to people's psychological health. Especially during the pandemic, when many people's income is affected and their living burden is increased, people are easier to go to extremes.
> there has been zero change to regular life as a result of leaving the EU

I should add that I'm a German citizen and didn't intend to apply for UK citizenship. From what I hear from my friends who like as expats in the UK, things have changed quite a bit.

>> why on Earth would you want to move to the UK in the current situation?
> substantially higher pay in London than the EU?

Not in the academic sector at least - and, compared to the cost of living in London (I worked in Cambridge, but life is not significantly less expensive there) I think salaries e.g. in Germany are competitive.
Many years ago we had one too. It was very hot in the first day or two, but like with a forest fire, you had new outbreaks when people returned from vacation and before having read any other replies, replied to all "unsubscribe" or "why am I getting this?". Which prompted again replies, not to reply to all and so on...
Took about two weeks to get completely stopped. It seems, after that, mail to all in the company was effectively eliminated except for a whitelist of accounts.
Even Microsoft understands what it means for their business if a paying customer with access to legal representation such as a lawyer or a medical professional randomly started losing correspondence.

If it was proven in court that they were silently discarding correspondence of paying customers because they were over confident in their spam filtering, everyone would jump ship in a heartbeat.

Mail is a very resilient protocol, this isn't UDP, this is the result of a deliberate decision being taken.
Yes, over Tor. But their onion domain can be DoS'ed and I imagine it's too slow for a forum with media.
All right, well - have fun with your project, I guess!
Or just; don't use boiling water.
> It seems likely that people have lost publications and talks as a result: the emails being rejected and spam-filtered are important emails.

There are likely some silently discarded e-mails as well, but you can't know for sure because they weren't even delivered.
You should probably not simply take the values on the box. Just like a computer, routers also have idling/high processing periods that affect power needs drastically. It's a good idea to take some smart plugs (like TP-Link's HS110, also supported by Home Assistant) to make these measurements.
I love this little fact but stating, "It is possibly one of the greatest innovations of the 18th century" is ridiculous hyperbole.

Or maybe the 18th century was severely lacking in innovations.

Rather than "evil", I would dub it as a little too much confidence on statistical models running on blackbox computers without checking for edge cases of false inference(which could always be plausible).

Why do people act as if “private APIs” (which is somewhat of a contradiction in terms) is nefarious? An API is something that is publicly documented that the vendor promises to support where the behavior won’t change.

Raymond Chen has been blogging for close two decades about all of the hacks that MS had to put into Windows because vendors used undocumented APIs.
In the hydraulic metaphor, which is easy to reason about for nearly everyone around the world, voltage is the steepness of the water pipe. If one wants to fill a tank faster, it's either a steeper pipe (Volts) or a larger one (Amperes) or both.

Dream on.

The watermelon was cut to eat on a feast table. All indications are, it was the best they had.

Fantasies about 'eating paleo' and such are just that, fantasies. To eat like we did thousands of years ago, you'd be eating plants that were barely digestible with toxins and organic compounds designed to injure us. Because until we tamed them, the plant had no pressure (as you say!) to be nutritional.

No, boxed candy cereal is not good for you. But eat oatmeal then (which is a cereal). Which is digestible, because we modified it heavily.
So it's a meaningless description then of a tech's development. Somewhere between new/useless and mature/ubiquitous.
Talking about WireWorld, we're making a game that involves drawing circuits. It's written in Unity and will feature 20ish levels, but we have a very early web-based prototype: https://charperbonaroo.github.io/bls/#0

>but you probably don't want a DC-DC converter running from the main battery all the time. If you have trouble getting power from the main battery, it'll be hard to diagnose.

I don't get this. If the converter stops working the 12v battery dies and your car stops working. I don't get why it would be easier to diagnose if it only charges when on.
I assume you're talking about the converter charging the 12v battery?
Even if you aren't it would still be simple enough to have some 12v points to supply external power.

Further is it redundancy or doubling the chances of failure?
You now have a 12v charger that could stop working, and a 12v battery that could stop working. Both of those break the car.
If the main battery goes that's basically bricking the car and you aren't going anywhere anyway
