Near the end: unless this requirement is met, there will be a need to add subtitles to all video clips in all of the courses

This doesn't seem like an onerous requirement to me. There is a variety of both commercial and free tools to automate that process, and while it would involve some effort in proofreading and uploading the subtitle data, that represents at most a few days of labor.
Homicides are taken seriously and investigated and if found punished.

I thought the head of lettuce they were talking about was Boris Johnson. Turns out it was an actual head of lettuce.
GPS jamming occurs local to the receiver, not the transmitter. So, you'd have to worry about the dish on your roof / vehicle, not the ones on the satellite.

I'm that sense, a phased array can help by filtering out signals that are not in line of sight with your satellite, but only one satellite fix does not provide a great estimate of the receivers position. Esp when signal strength is used to estimate bearing.
See the emphasis on transparent substitutes in the article. This analysis is limited strictly to sets of instances that are fully hardware compatible, meaning AWS could resell one instance as another. There are way more savings to be had as a customer by leveraging instances that aren't transparent substitutes.
> Otherwise they just turn in a single-sentence "Slaughterhouse Five has a lot of chaos, which you can see clearly from reading the book, the end." Maybe you laugh but you will literally receive this from 9th-graders.

That essay would easily get a 0, and the student (and their peers) would learn not to try that. A student producing a single sentence instead of an essay is a different problem than a student producing an unclear essay or failing to demonstrate that they read the text, which, I think, is the point of the 5-paragraph essay.

The actual fundamentals of good writing are grammar, logic, and rhetoric. We only teach one of those (grammar) in schools, and we don't necessarily teach it well. The subjects of logic and rhetoric have largely been replaced by the "5-paragraph essay" until you reach college. That is insane to me.

Teaching 5-paragraph essays from middle school to high school is like teaching jazz by having students spend 8 years writing renaissance chorales. Writing a few renaissance chorales is probably good for jazz musicians, but spending 8 years writing them will not produce a good jazz artist.
It is really easy to add subtitles to videos now-a-days
It’s built from the bottom up in layers (at least traditionally, I’m not sure how the newer 3D structures for memory are constructed). The bottom layer of silicon substrate is covered in an oxide and etched selectively by photoresist and masking. Further layers are connective layers of metal lines insulated by oxide, with vias connecting metal layers to one another. The same oxide deposition, photoresist, expose, etch process is used for each layer.
> you shouldn't be forced to choose between spending way more money on it or taking it away from everyone...

The unfortunate end result of that is certain segments of the population treated as second-class citizens.
That's not true, though. If it were true, he'd add DRM or something to his videos to prevent them from using their own auto-captioning services, rather than just not spending a boatload of money on captioning them for them.
Not simply existing, but targeting you directly. Big difference.
I find the bad news angle weird too. If our home were to lose half of it's value it wouldn't really change anything except our ability to move in the near future. That's assuming I keep my job during this time of course.
So the ticketmaster product is better for the customer (blink182), doesn't mean there's no competition.

I can see how what you say would make sense to many people. Many religions teach some good things, and we advise investigators to keep all the good they have, and let us see if we can add to it. There are specific doctrines that I think are unique to us, and we believe that the authority was eventually lost in a great apostasy after Christ and the apostles were killed, and restored later (1830s..) by the visit of resurrected beings (John the Baptist for authority to baptize; and Peter, James and John for further authority), sent by the resurrected Christ.

I have specific details at my tech-simple web site (in profile), and am happy to answer more questions, the best I can, whether here or in email (at my site).

"Families can be forever" and eternal progression in and with families -- I don't know where else those are taught, and yes we do believe the authority is with one organization, not many, that God does things in an orderly way and will eventually make those things available to all His children, even those that died without an opportunity (also distinctive, as far as I know). There is much more. :) And the gift of the Holy Ghost, given after baptism, is a personal guide, teacher, and comfort, for life, if we sincerely seek its influence.

I have learned for myself that it is true, in ways I can't deny, and anyone else can also learn for themselves. Again, more specifics at my web site and I am willing to answer many questions (hopefully the site can be useful and many are answered there).

(ps: I don't guess I'm smarter than anyone else, but there are some things I have thought about and/or worked on for a long time... :)
It’s their content, offered for free. It would be great if they would add subtitles, but it’s asking them to invest extra labor or money to do so - for free again. I mourn the loss of the content, but I understand their decision.
You can only ever reach exposed surfaces. This means a very complex sequence of adding and removing layers to expose/hide things so that the currently exposed surface features are what you want to change in the current processing step.

The Wikipedia article on CMOS has a very nice illustration of the basic steps of this process: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CMOS#/media/File:CMOS_fabricat... Current processes are much more complex than even that.
Let's say we generally subscribed to the flat earth theory. But that causes many problems with our actual measurements. So someone proposes the "many earths" theory, where there are many flat earths connected at different angles.

If you could travel between these many earths, you could even end up in one - let's call this mythical land "Australia" - where South was up!

Sounds a bit crazy but some people believe it could really exist.
This is like saying you can't post a poster on a bulletin board if it doesn't follow a specific format. These laws make no sense and are a perfect example of out-of-touch policy. It should be my prerogative as to whether or not I care about the disabled market. I _should_ care if I'm a good person, but it shouldn't prevent me from being able to serve other markets.

:is also has tighter specificity then a nested selector. which is a footgun for sure. However you can use :where instead, which is basically just :is without this footgun.
>Owned by, or in exclusive contracts with.

Exactly! The exclusive contracts thing terrifies me. There are a lot of venues that Ticketmaster/LiveNation don't own outright, but have exclusivity / quasi-exclusivity deals with, and those venues include a vast majority of the largest multi-use venues in the country, such as stadiums or arenas. Live Nation can front some of the building costs or maintenance costs for a bunch of large venues and it costs them nothing in comparison with the profits they get in return. Practically every sporting event I've been to in the US has had me use Ticketmaster in some way. This includes NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, ATP (tennis), MLS, and even college sports. They are everywhere!
Ask HN: Any Alternatives to GatsbyJS?
I am tired of Gatsby, since it is getting difficult to get answers and it is not very CMS agnostic anymore. I am looking for an alternative which can aid with some scaffolding etc and it can be plain JS, React Vue or Svelte.
> In 100 years nobody is going to know who she is, much less be fawning over her work trying to figure out how to restore it.

Agreed, that's a very likely outcome. If she were living in ancient egypt doing this same thing with a substantially smaller and more primitive world population the odds of this work being future museum pieces would be entirely different.

Instead what we're looking at is someone's blog post describing their arts and crafts hobby.

It's not "a question for conservators and museums", it's a question of a huge and advanced society deciding her work is exceptional enough to be historically significant vs. many competitors.

Everyone loved Elon (like everyone loved Trump) until they got into politics.
Yes, it surprises me a lot how people ignore the part about annexing territories.

I tried to find what was the last time USA annexed a territory, but I am not sure about the technical details. Would it be Wake Island conquered in 1945? No permanent population, in the middle of nowhere, almost 1000 km from the nearest inhabited place. Or Hawaii which became the fiftieth state in 1959, after being annexed in 1898? To find some analogy to what Russia is doing today, one has to look more than a century ago.

Meanwhile, Russia is trying to grow to the size of the former Soviet Union.

Yet somehow, for many people, it is the same thing.

Product Engineering: Delivering Success for Capability Centres
Amelio was going to drive Apple straight off a cliff with his vision of opening up MacOS and basically destroying the brand. SGI did that and the company no longer exists now.

Steve Jobs' vision of a walled garden with tight vertical integration was what has kept Apple alive all these years and why things like the iPhone are so successful. I have both an iPhone and an Android, and the integration between iPhone and all its products is beyond comparison to Android.
Whisper is free and classroom instruction should be a breeze and require little correction, as there likely isn't much background noise or music.
Then they wouldn't be subtitles.
There is a blog post here that describes how to exploit it: https://www.mike-gualtieri.com/posts/chaining-remote-web-vul...
This is totally a problem (I am in that half). But is it the important problem?

Potentially bigger "rampant crime" issues:

- Corruption in SF municipal government

- Local power company keeps causing devastating fires, killing people. https://www.commondreams.org/news/2022/01/24/pge-should-be-b...

- There were more than 300 news stories about a single shoplifting incident last year, and comparatively little coverage about the chain's much larger wage-theft problem. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/dec/07/want-t...

Similarly:

- it's socially acceptable for techies to consume some drugs while hanging out in Dolores park, where we can be heard complaining about the visible drug use in the tenderloin

- people have mostly given up caring that Uber, AirBnB grew with a playbook of entering markets and initially ignoring local laws.

- people care if their delivery is stolen, but a lot less if their tip to the delivery person is stolen. https://www.mselaborlaw.com/news/doordash-pay-25-million-tip...

- people care if their Amazon package is stolen, but less if Amazon steals from its delivery people. Again. https://paycheckcollector.com/amazon-wage-theft/ https://www.axios.com/local/seattle/2022/10/04/delivery-driv...

Yes, we are surrounded by and drowning in crime.
No, it is not just bikes, packages and car break-ins.
I'm not sure what you mean by this. The process can still be something that involves a government body, but one where the complainant cannot sue for damages so long as good-faith efforts to remediate the problem are being made.

And hopefully one where a punitive fine/fee is not assessed. I don't think anyone who puts a video online should be punished if they didn't know they had to put closed captions on it.
Then either whoever wants to fix that problem should pay for the additional costs, or accept that they aren't willing to do what is needed to fix the problem.
They could have an iMac with a floppy drive. At the time, CDs were already popular enough, and external floppy drives were available. They didn't just drop the thing everyone's using.

They were nice sometimes, like with Rosetta (and v2).
You might say that this is bad (and on its face, it certainly does feel that way), but OTOH, it rapidly resulted in an enormous quality-of-life change for disabled people, it is the reason that the US is vastly more accessible than many other places
The top comments to that post do not give me much hope for things improving anytime soon. They read almost like something out of a sketch comedy show.

> OP: We had our store get windows broken as soon as we fix them every single time, and organized theft rings hit up our store on regular for thousands of dollars worth of items, because they know out security legally cannot do much to physically stop them. Our employees do not feel safe at all, we are shutting down.

> Top replies: ok, but have you considered creating a welcoming community for those people instead of being upset at this situation? They must have good reasons for breaking the windows and stealing your stuff, only if you engaged more with the community and provided them support, things could have been different.

And I wish I was strawmanning those top replies or ignoring the nuance (which often happens when those matters get discussed).Unfortunately those are almost the exact top responses on the post. On Linkedin, of all places.
The website is down. I hope it isn't due to traffic from this site. Might be better to use a caching link to link to small projects like this.
Does everything in world have to be sickening, or appalling or catastrophic. Is it really so sickening that someone in the world had the audacity to frame something in a way you disagree with? Can't you just say "I disagree with this"?

I say this as someone who thinks it is very much a good thing that house prices are coming down, and the more the better.
While this is an interesting theory, my personal anecdotal experience doesn't really seem to support it. Some particular bands seem to have gotten more expensive over time (e.g., if I want to see Modest Mouse in Oakland this December, it'll run about 3.5x what I paid to see them in 2007, not including fees), but I'm still able to go see local and smaller touring bands play at smaller venues for similar prices to when I was a teenager in the mid 00s (maybe $5 more on the face value of the ticket, and probably a lot more in terms of service fees).

Merch, on the other hand, is definitely much more expensive than it used to be, and I imagine that probably is reflecting the dynamic you're hypothesizing, at least to some extent.
Sure, classes act as namespaces in that case. What pain point does it cause?
> MWI is essentially the "null hypothesis"

Null hypothesis in the sense of not producing any predicition? /joking

I agree with the grand-parent that substituting a "collapse" that we cannot understand with a "separation" that we cannot understand doesn't seem a big step forward.
This is true, but seems irrelevant because China is self-crewing its station.
yes minus-k says "less checking, generally proceed" but does it remember that certificate? maybe not
It's inbreeding by the technical definition/understanding but obviously it's not inbreeding from a practical/biologically concerning standpoint.
Most people will encounter venues where they need to conform to arbitrary and seemingly pointless formats in order to publish there. Becoming comfortable doing so without throwing a fit is a skill that needs to be learned to operate in modern society.
After reading some of this, all I can think of is "Boy, my paycheck will explode!".
Do that before or while you get sued for violations? I think you should organize for reform of the law but it doesn't change the fact that in the meantime you'll be getting sued by 100 lawyers for violations.
I read comments like this all the time on HN and Reddit. But it's hard for me to separate real professional experience at day jobs, from hobbyist wishful thinking in personal side projects.

All I know is that I attend a lot of Java conferences and meetups, and I'm STILL waiting to encounter a flesh-and-blood human in real life whose employer really wavers between Java and Rust. That's like choosing between a Humvee and a submarine, their optimal problem spaces barely overlap.
There's a firm in Southern California that's suing restaurants / small theaters / community organizations / etc after bulk-scanning web sites for embedded video that lack links to caption files.

It's all ADA abuse, lawsuits in the $5k-$7k range. A huge percentage of those sued don't have the means to fight back, and settle.

The company that's suing people had some incompetent coder write their scanner, so it only parses the TRACK tag from a video container in certain circumstances. I was able to defend an organization by demonstrating this.

A vigorous countersuit is in the discussion stages.

It's not hard at all. You can spot passive-aggressive language and refusal to collaborate corporate-speak a mile away.
I don't think Functional Programmers have a fear of for-loops, I think they love for-loops, they just prefer to define them "steps first".

A silly cross-paradigm way to look at it is that a lot of functional programming is about "dependency injecting the for-loop" and "inversion of control of the for-loop". For similar reasons to dependency injection in OOP, functional programming wants to focus on the more interesting to the program abstractions up front and leave the final "for-loop wiring" to libraries or the language itself.

The for-loops don't go away, they are still there as necessary wiring. The functional programmer just wants to "dependency inject" all the interesting piece-at-a-time steps inside that for-loop rather than worry about the entire final wired loop body. Just like dependency injection in OO is supposed to make it possible to deal with a class at a time without needing as much of the entire class diagram in your head all once. Also, just like dependency injection: it's designed so that you have a lot smaller, easier to test pieces that make up the whole.
He has clearly made a cost/benefit analysis and has deemed the cost too big. It seems easy until you have to do it.
While I generally agree, I think adding subtitles are a fairly low bar to pass that help the able & disabled in equal amounts. If you're in public and don't feel like wearing headphones or want to listen to music instead, than even shitty auto-generated captions are a massive improvement in quality
> BUT, why are thousands of buildings/units empty in NYC that have been empty for years with an outrageous rent?

There are absolutely not thousands of buildings empty in NYC. It's also worth noting that there are 3.52 million housing units in NYC. As the other reply points out, rental vacancy is lower than 4%. However half of those are either being renovated or are rented/sold but not yet occupied. Of the 3.52 million housing units in NYC a paltry 103,000 (less than 0.2%) are pied-à-terres or seasonal/short-term rentals. On the much maligned Billionaire's Row there are some 350 empty condos.

This line about "thousands of empty units" is a sort of innumerate argument made by DSA/Working Families Party types to oppose all new construction or up-zoning.
If the way to make people not be "second-class citizens" is just by taking away and destroying other people's things, rather than by making more things available to them, then I don't think it's something we should do.
That is interesting and I wonder how you prevent password sharing.

What comes to mind is using Google / Fb accounts for sign in instead of a separate Netflix sign-in. Whenever it's the former, I won't share with others but the latter I have no issues sharing since it's a single use account.
Some bands don't want to maximize their profits. Shocker: Some artists want people of all incomes to enjoy their work.

But allowing scalpers/TM to do pure market pricing can fuck over the ability for a lower-middle income person to see these kinds of shows that to them might be the equivalent cost of a weeklong vacation.

Therefore, the idea (which should be at the discretion of the artist and only the artist, to hell with TM) is "charge an affordable price and ban scalping". Scalping can be controlled by technology; making sure any resales/transfers of ticket ownership go through the ticketing agency and only for the original price.
That can be solved by providing assistance directly to those segments in some cases. For example, we require wheelchair ramps at commercial buildings and apartments of a certain size and even motels must have "wheelchair accessible" units, even if some are only accessible by stairs.

But we don't require every single house to have a wheelchair lift or ramp, but we can help pay for those to be installed on the houses that have someone who needs them.

Similarly, instead of requiring every website to comply with X, Y, or Zed, require it of the "commercial players" and provide assistance services to those who cannot access the rest of the web.
China already has an extensive network of fixed location coordinated signal jammers deployed across the country. It is regularly used to overpower Radio Free Asia and Voice of Tibet broadcasts, and has conducted exercises blocking GPS.

But a much more likely response would be equipping local police with direction finding equipment for signals in the 10-12 GHz band and bashing in the skulls of anyone found with a terminal.

I agree devs are forced to skip doing the right things, I worked on the help site of a large media organization in the Nordic region and the project manager when I kept pushing to improve performance basically said performance doesn't matter - and we were way over the 3 second limit.
This is straightforward to do if you have some reference ground stations listening to the satellites. That's how WAAS works. If you have ground reference stations receiving and broadcasting offsets, you can derive navigation info from any set of long-range RF sources which have some pattern to which you can sync.

The U.S. Army has "pseudolites" which do this for short distances.[1] These are used as a backup to counter GPS jamming.

Except that in this context it isn't mumbo-jumbo at all. It's a falsifiable theory proposed by one of the most distinguished mathematical physicists in the world, in the process of being falsified. Perfectly respectable, though highly speculative, science.
