I think an important part of your statement is “interested consumers”. A consumer who is not interested should not have to be bombarded with advertisements. At this point (making someone do something they do not want to), is where it becomes manipulation.

For instance, I have no interest in receiving snail-mail ads for credit cards. I am happy with the ones that I have right now, and regularly research on my own via trusted third parties to see if any are available which would be of interest to me. Still, I am unable to stop receiving mail advertising credit cards to me. There is not even recourse I can take because states have fallen for the same “connecting producers to consumers” argument as above, in the most broad sense, where every human is a potentially interested consumer for every single product.

The business is worse off (because they pay to advertise to me, and I will not get one of their credit cards), I am worse off (because I am upset I receive this mail), the planet is worse off (deforestation), others are worse off (perhaps the time spent by postal workers delivering me junk mail could improve service to others or reduce costs).

So while I agree that advertising is not inherently manipulative, when the audience is captive and uninterested, it becomes manipulation.
How can a product be overpriced if more than 50% of the [US] market buys and uses that product?

So does anyone else agree that there are actually 10x (or more) developers? This is a pretty good example of how one works.
> it has one major issue

Major issue to who? You? How do you know it's a major issue for others? How do you know that others will value this fix as much as you do?

> has a fix but is very hard

> I just built a data layer to solve this.

These seem like conflicting statements, maybe I am reading too much into it but your choice to use the word "just" makes it seem nonchalant, like you whipped up the data layer in week, and if you did then the fix wasn't "very hard", and the code owners of the tool could do the same easily.

I have to agree, your question is way too cryptic and vague for you to get any real useful feedback. You need to discuss with someone you trust, or with some advisors that are willing to sign an NDA. Or just put it out there, who really cares how others react? If people like it cool, if not, oh well, at least you tried.
If you're arguing the government should be able to break up any company it likes, for any reason it decides, then you're basically arguing against capitalism, private property, freedom of speech and association, and most of the separation of powers and concerns that democracies are supposed to be built upon.

"ought to" is a dangerous cudgel to put in the hands of a government or a self-righteous mob, and "monopoly" was what everyone was arguing should be the standard, but I guess now it's open season.
anecdote : my German teacher (same age as my mom) was a little girl in rural well off Germany during WW2. She said general people outside cities had no idea about the Nazis and holocaust till they started hearing rumors, about which they were in denial, for a long time...the persistence of the rumors was gradually accepted as a horror.

Saying "Germany carried out the holocaust" might be accidentally read as if it was a unified effort. It may not have been.
“Selling data” means nothing. Amazon trades in data services all of the time. Facebook is serving up retargeted Amazon ads in near real time.

Addiction is a treatable and preventable condition, but addiction is not a choice. These are overwhelmingly not bad people who want to harm their unborn child, they simply do not have the required mental state to choose otherwise.
Are you? If not, on what basis are you assessing that a doctor is required for this question?
>Having private companies leeching off it for me is very much scummy behavior.

The private companies are funding the foundation. It’s hard to call it leeching when the pi is a comparatively expensive board compared to alternatives
That’s probably exactly it.
You can prevent some mental health conditions by caring properly for the mother, for example a mother struggling to pay rent or unable to access necessary medical care is naturally going to be at higher risk of conditions like depression and if you improve her circumstances it's possible that the depression might at least abate for a while. Lots of people who are managing mental health conditions will spiral if their circumstances get bad enough but will otherwise be OK.

While it's unwise to try and simply reduce all mental health conditions to 'circumstances' or 'chemical imbalance', there are lots of things you can do to keep a person in balance to the point that any latent conditions they have aren't enough of a problem to interfere with their daily lives. Motherhood is already very difficult so it is worthwhile to try and keep as many challenges out of a new mother's life as we can.
Indeed, meant to say he should acquire this if he's at all serious about the autonomous/robo taxi thing becoming a reality but we all know it's hot-air for the foreseeable future. But kind of the premise based on which these companies thought their unit economics would eventually work out.

I've read that the rate of injury at amazon jobs is incredibly high, which is not good practice in my view.

"* Be ready to be wrong. That's when you learn something new."

This comes naturally to me as a beginner, since I get slapped in the face with my wrongness pretty regularly. And I know that, barring rare outliers, this is the experience of most people starting out. What bugs me is that some people have the attitude that they have never sucked, and were awesome from day 1. What gives?
The core of the argument is that for a significant number of these deaths (especially mental health or substance abuse related), if the mothers had been allowed to abort the baby, they would be in addition allowed to get the mental health or substance abuse issues under control.

Of course, they might not get those issues under control. They might still have died of substance abuse or suicide. But the stress of being a new mother is well known (if not well understood or well supported by society or the American medical system - clearly). If a person is already predisposed to substance abuse and/or self-harm, maybe the additional impacts of post-partum mental conditions would push them further down that road.

Especially as it pertains to the maternal-mortality/abortion discussion, I think its important to remember that the would-be mother's material conditions are not guaranteed to be static over the course of the pregnancy and post-partum period. The decision to conceive might be made in accordance with the best possible medical and financial advice, and still result in a bad situation for mother or child at the end of it all.

My wife had a pretty easy time with both of our kids, but I am constantly haunted by stories from folks who made the same decisions we did, and lost mother, child, or both.
I think there are very valid reason every Gen 5 fighter has a cannon. I also think neither manned fighters nor tanks are going anywhere soon. The war in Ukraine just painted a fastly wrong picture, for valid reasons for sure, but still wrong concerning modern weapon systems.

As long as someone needs something on the ground been blown up from up close, or protect infantry from being blown up frok up close, tanks are your weapon of choice. You want something on the ground blown up from a distance comparatively cheap? Artillery, idealy self propelled for mobility, is your friend. You want to blow up stuff on the ground far away, and fast, you go for fighter aircraft. Or if you don't want to your enemy to do just that, as those are fast, can cover a lot of groind and controlled locally, so no jaming of any kind. If you want to do the same thing from really far away, use a cruise missile. Or in contested airspace where your piloted aircraft are too valuable? Use a drone, same for long endurance surveillance of uncontested airspace.
I was looking at those recently. They're all small, sub $200, and usually have a Celeron N5105. Do you have to worry about Linux support when you're looking at something like that, or will it work pretty much out of the box?
Hmm, while I was an exchange student in the US, I got that exact speach house from a friend's father ("hands on the wheel unless asked to do otherwise, stay friendly, no sudden moves"). However, I was very white (a geek who didn't get out much) and he was a white Mormon. That was in 1997 and since my friend had obviously heard that speech many times before, I just assumed that's what all kids are taught over there...
PS Not sure why I get 0 points here :) I have it on good authority from some webmasters that were trying to offer non-tracked ads that advertisers simply don't want them anymore.

They're so addicted to tracking, and 'retargeting' (meaning repeat ads) that they're just not paying for untracked anymore. Not nearly enough to make an ad-supported website work anyway.

Due to GDPR and the cookie ban, things are turning in Europe though. Because now they no longer have the choice.
I actually had a Ask HN question that went nowhere about how senior folks in tech with bad memories got to their positions: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18309597

I ask b/c it seems that most (if not all) of the senior folks I've worked with in the past somehow managed to have incredibly detailed memories around:

- the tech stack

- the people that worked for them etc

If they didn't, they did the "if you are a fighter pilot with bad vision, get a wingman with good vision" and hired a number 2 or team lead who did.
This is straight out of an episode of Black Mirror

"Something stressing you out or making you uncomfortable? Just filter it! Continue ignorantly living in this filthy world, and never address or even confront the root cause of problems."

I do agree the toxic chat in games is a big turnoff, but I'm not sure about an AI solution to this very human problem. Maybe in this case it'd be good? But the generalized form of this kind of filtration still seems like a terrible idea.
>It's interesting they include things such as all suicides as pregnancy related death, though.

That's not actually the case. If you look through the original linked article for the word "suicide" you come across the following...

>Pregnancy-related deaths determined by the MMRCs to be suicides...

... which, by used of the word "determined" suggests that they're not just assuming all suicides within a year of giving birth are pregnancy related. In point of fact, this is covered at the very beginning:

>Maternal Mortality Review Committees (MMRCs) are multidisciplinary committees that convene at the state or local level to comprehensively review deaths during or within a year of pregnancy (pregnancy-associated deaths). MMRCs have access to clinical and non-clinical information (e.g., vital records, medical records, social service records) to more fully understand the circumstances surrounding each death, determine whether the death was pregnancy-related...
this is part of what makes Giant Bomb being part of this sale kind of baffling—what value does the site even have anymore without the personalities that drove it to begin with? the site is fully theseus'd now, and sure there's still thousands and thousands of community-driven wiki pages, but has anyone cared about the wiki at all since at least the CBSi days of GB, if not earlier? "Giant Bomb" as a brand is utterly meaningless now, it's so strange to see it continue to change hands.
WASM isn't more more "modern", it is just being hyped up because it caters to the JS developers.

Hey Peter Gibbons already did this. Time to burn the whole damn warehouse down, Milton.
Also is a hard requirement for chemical engineers.

Additionally I find some of controls theory to be relevant context for machine learning models, in particular backpropagation.
It's similar. There are many sites around the country that contributed to nuclear weapons development back then and have been left with pollution problems. Hanford, for instance, up the river from Portland, is a fair bit of a disaster.
You do have to consent, but there are many parts where they don't let you say no and continue using, while all third parties are forced to make you say no and to continue using.

Apple is doing the classic "we don't share with third parties, we just collect a shit ton of data from everywhere and then make people buy our data indirectly via our ad sale services" like google and facebook do today. So it's not shared with third parties, but because of their scale it might as well be in effect size .
What makes you say that? It looks like this was definitely used in the chain on that post to me.
Im sure its based on the idea of them being used by bad-actors?

Ill never forget my first meeting as Dir of IT for Lockheed where I was inquiring of frquency encryption/security across all military RFID tags... That was not a fun meeting.
Yeah I do want to make clear that transfer learning frequently works. I think my initial comment probably comes off too strong (just reeling from terrible and unproductive reviewers who are reject happy). But there is a common belief that you never need to train from scratch and that's what I'm really trying to counter.
That something has some positive utility does not justify all negative consequences.

For instance installing publicly accessible cameras in all rooms in all homes would help reduce domestic abuse, however that obviously does not mean it's a net social good. In the same vein helpful target ads do not make up for all of the other shenanigans in manipulating people politically.
That's the whole point of carbon (and other Pigouvian) taxes - harness narrow self-interest into better global decision making. Badgering everyone to become a saint seems like a low-percentage plan.

Yes, the structure of swing, blues, and other varieties of ballroom are the best way for people who need structure to get into dance; I cannot stress this enough.

You can also check out group dances like Ceili, Balfolk, and.. Contra, I Think? They have the same thing going for them.
When I lived an worked in SF I put something like 6000 miles a year on my car. Probably half of that was in the city. At 6000 miles a year you'd only need to charge your car every two weeks.

One problem is the craven MBA's that run auto companies think there is big bucks to be made overcharging people for keyless entry fobs. Which blocks things like being able to hire a service to do things like charge your car for you.
I find this very frustrating as well... I got a nice fridge/freezer alarm project working with the pi pico w - and while it also works with esp32 boards the pi pico is supposed to be like $5... but last I checked on amazon... it was $100... gonna stick with esp32 until it is actually $5...
> Was this really a moment to bring awareness to asexual people

The purpose was not to bring awareness (I do not care about all this awareness virtue signalling), but to come up with a hypothesis for this observation.
Nearly the same for me. Continuous controls was a requirement for graduating with my BSEE. I don't believe that it was required for the MEs.
And so what? Apache tribes/bands have been in favor of the Army's naming of the premier attack helicopter in the world.

Radioactive metals are heavy metals, and uranium for instance, even without the radioactivity, is dangerous in the same way as lead. It's definitely not something you want in your water.
Strapless dresses are already a thing, and a well worn (no pun intended) path at that.
When I went to the University of Kentucky for college I remember hearing from friends who grew up in Richmond, and the surrounding area, about the chemical weapon drills they had (similar to active shooter, fire, tornado, etc). Turns out Richmond had/has a large cache of chemical weapons waiting to be decommissioned and there was always a worry about a leak (due to age or natural disaster).

It appears that as of this year [0] they are finally nearing the completion of decommissioning the weapons but it's crazy to me to how long these just sat without any real work (or very slow work) being done to remove the threat.

Given such an incredibly low probability of accidental failure, the burden of proof is shifted to the more extraordinary claim. So a better question would be, what's the proof that it wasn't sabotage?

"And how hard should organic chemistry be anyway?"

Heaven forbid, it should be as hard as is necessary to achieve the stated outcome. If someone does a course in organic synthesis and graduates from that course then a company hiring the person expects him or her to be able to synthesize chemicals to the extent or level that the course coverd.

Graduates need to know what they're taught and companies expect their prospective employees to understand the work that they need to do.

When I was a student I used to sometimes whinge about the 'tough grading' in certain courses and think I was hard done by when I either failed an exam or didn't do well in it.

The fact was that the education system made it hard for me because I either wasn't good enough and or I had not done sufficient study to pass the course.

Students shouldn't be allowed to reset the standard because they think it's set too high or that they consider the work too tough.
Apple does have access to the amount of time you open that kindle app although ;)
Yup, and then some of them will end up killing patients due to these lowered "feel-good" standards. Thanks NYU.
> So parsing the bnf is kind of a mess, but I only have to parse this one bnf and not bnfs in general so I just mashed in a bunch of special cases.

Surely at that point it would've been a lot cleaner and more practical to just edit the one file you need to parse, to remove the weird line breaks, etc., rather than building special cases into your parser to work around those lines? What am I missing?
1.5 years ago I bought a Orange Pi Zero for less than 20 USD. I am using this device for pihole. Without any issue, it is running smoothly.

> If you get fired, how much support do you get from the state?

A better question is, why should the state support people getting fired?

> If you would travel to those places, you would find stark differences in real quality of life which can't be easily measured by simple aggregate numbers, people's happiness and life satisfaction.

I did: oh yeah it's nice, as a tourist. But here is no amount of money you could pay me to work and live there - and that's assuming the money would make sense on the paper, unlikely given the high taxes while the prices are also high.

The killing factor is the very small amount of private options if you want to avoid dysfunctioning government monopolies.
> "watching people die" was an entertainment subreddit

It was, but because it was on Reddit => karma generating content => abused to hell. Compare it to r/OSHA.

I'm not sure there is a way to have the content like this and somehow prevent/discourage the abuse. Though a simple disablement of post/comment karma in subreddits like this would had an immense effect, I've seen that numerous times in phpBB/derived forums in the literal "Flame" section. Disabling comments would somewhat work too, but not for the old Reddit.

Disagree. Shared accounts may work for a smaller org, but not for larger ones.

If you need multiple accounts for isolation or data protection you can accomplish the same thing with scoped IAM policies, so you can only touch things with the correct tag or name in path, this is hard to maintain and confusing for developers.

When you are large enough there's no avoiding multiple accounts as you run into API limits and hard quotas. The added benefit of having an account per system is that you can have simple IAM policies, essentially : compared to scoped described above.

Networking is simple with shared VPCs, even with hundreds or thousands of accounts. Unclear how this affects egress at all. Don't know about billing but we have an Org with enterprise support, guess that helps. The awslogs cli tool makes it easy to extract logs via cli, just login to each account in its own terminal window or use profiles.
TFA mentions specifically that the clothes can be washed and re-worn...
I have a sense of guilt when I compare myself to my high school friends who have to work longer, work harder, and get paid significantly less. They are just as smart, they just made different choices. And this sense of guilt and of feeling like I don't deserve it just compounds the imposter syndrome to the point I can't even enjoy what I have because I think that at any moment I'll be "discovered" and lose everything. I think it stems from my inability to appreciate what I have because I have this instinctive belief that if I let myself, then something will happen for whatever reason.

Now that I wrote this I realize it has little to do with the original article (which I read, both parts actually), but hopefully someone has some good advice, so I don't have to resort to quitting and going to an Amazon FC to feel better about myself.
This is awesome, but I'm a bit concerned about the "latest renders" feature potentially doxxing people. Are you checking for identifiable information somehow?
