So, much of this sounds like a question of just how much you can lie in your marketing material if you then take it all back in the click-through.

I'm curious how many times people have been refunded for the enhanced autopilot claiming a bait and switch. They believed the marketing materials purchased the car, and then discovered when they get it "hey not really".

But, I'm guessing what will hang them, is the question over whether people actually believed the warnings were real or just CYA, and then promptly treated it like a full "better than human" AI.

I had the exact same experience regarding high front/back end score, and then managing a 2 on JS. I even took note of some of the questions and retook the test and ended up getting many of the same questions, but this time answering much more carefully yet ended with the same score so I question the assessment.
Here's a little math. Let's assume a $400,000 home pre-high interest rate regime. Assume, and this is the critical assumption as you say: six to twelve months from now that price drops 10%, to $360,000.

You, the buyer, put 10% down. Pre-regime: $40,000 + $360,000 @ a 3% interest rate = $1,518/mo. In the future: $36,000 + $324,000 @ 7% interest = $2,156/mo (+$638/mo)

Imagine the pre-regime buyer invests the difference. $0 upfront + over 30 years, at a conservative rate of 4% APY, that's: $442,000.

Assume, again, interest rates stabilize and drop to, say, 4% five years from now. The person holding the 3% mortgage does not refinance, because why would they?

The post-regime buyer invests the amount saved up-front, and refinances in five years. Their returns on that initial down payment investment, same 4% APY over 30y: ~$13,000. Their new monthly after that point would be $1458 (amortization schedule + reduced interest rate). They, also, invest the difference in their monthlies (+$698/mo @ 4% APY over 25 years); added on to the down payment savings returns: $371,000.

Two interesting points which extend out of this math:

1) The hypothetical home price reductions over the next months/years don't have to go far above 10% before the benefit flips in favor of the person who waited. I haven't ran the math, but I'd estimate somewhere around 15%.

2) This doesn't take into account, say, investing the down payment for the person who waited, over the past two years.

3) As interest rates recover, housing prices likely follow. But they're recovering from the bottom, not the top where many bought. Imagine, say, in ten years, this home is valued at $450,000. All else already described being equal, the person who waited can add even more to their gains beyond the person who bought early; closing the gap further (the exact amount of calculable, but I'm too lazy to figure out the amortization schedules).

None of this asserts that it was a "mistake" or something to buy early. Just that its not all doom and gloom "your financial future is fucked" for people buying now. Its really surprisingly close once you run the math; the people saying "I feel like I won the lottery with 3%" may retire, decades from now, ahead half a years salary.
> I was under the impression that most robo dialer's calls originated offshore with spoofed numbers that appear to be within your area code. It's possibly not though, like if someone is taking advantage of targeting a specific carrier's numbers from outside their network but I don't know.

Maybe this wasn't clear in my previous comment: the calls often originate from outside the country, yes, but the calls are spoofing US numbers, so there's no way for the recipient to know that the call is from another country. And the calls often try to match the local area code of the recipient.

The point is that the scam scales very easily: if you can do it to any person in one state, you can do it to every person in every state (because calling all US phone numbers is essentially equivalent, and spoofing all states is equivalently easy).

I mean, I'd love to save for a home with a tax advantaged account. That sounds so good that if I ever planned on moving I'd want to max out my contributions to that, sell my house, take the money I earn from that house and dump it in my Roth 401k since I won't pay taxes on most of the capital gains, then take the distribution from the home savings account and put it towards the next down payment on a house and avoid taxes there too. As for why we don't allow you to do that from a 401k, for the same reason we have separate accounts for the education savings. 401k is designed to incentive retirement, not education or housing. Society could decide to make 401k's more broad, but I suspect that would just lead to the more well off people being able to better use them as tax shelters. Mortgages are already subsidized in other ways, including government down payment assistance, or low down payment requirements for loans.

For buying stuff online it removes the need to fiddle around with CCs (+ trusting individual websites with CC info) and lets you checkout quickly. It's also great if you get scammed out of your money somehow... Their chargeback system is stupidly easy and is infamous for always siding with the buyer.

It sucks when you're on the other side of the transaction, though. Used to run a Minecraft server as a teenager, and they gave me a huge amount of grief between indisputable chargebacks and locking my account once for KYC purposes.

The exact same thing I argued since my first comment in this thread.

You're arguing for Schiller vs Cue. I didn't comment on that.

I merely meta-remarked that the 9to5 quote given as supporting evidence doesn't mean much, since those kind of assurances are given by companies to journalists all the time, and especially when they're not true at all.

I'm positing that such claims are not good gauges of what's going on - regardless of the particulars of this case.
This comment is highly misleading; the DoJ probe centers on fraud and "misleading consumers, investors and regulators". It has nothing whatsoever to do with manslaughter, and Reuters never even hinted at this.

Early in my career I was working for a well-known anti-virus firm. They had a crash of their Perforce servers and it turns out the backups were not good and the most recent good one was several months old. They painstakingly restored it from the good backup and forensic recovery of the drives, but there were several files that were still missing to fully restore the archive. They did know the hashes of the files, so what they did was push out a bunch of custom virus signatures to the dogfooding (internal testing) environment which flagged any files with those hashes as viruses, and then asked anyone who had a hit to send the file into central IT to get it resolved. It was fairly clever I thought!

Ask HN: Corporate insider trading policies all bark and no bite?
Many corporate insider trading policies at non-finance companies have severe penalties, including fines or termination, but I can't think of an instance of a corporation investigating and enforcing a violation of, for example, a blackout window or shorting company stock, against a regular (not a Director or Officer) employee.

Can you?

Please note this question is not about actual insider trading (i.e. trading on material, non-public information). Don't do this. The SEC (but not your company) will catch you.

Just a thought: It seems like most companies lack the will or the means (your company can't subpoena you) to actually enforce their policies. So is the corporate insider trading policy all bark and no bite?
Yes, the recordings get done over many times. Sometimes we lose someone due to story changes or some other circumstance. This is a bummer, as there is more than the voice that is lost. While it is easier for some stars to drive over to Glendale from wherever they live in LA, they still "perform" the part and that performance is recorded. The video of the voice over work is referred to by the animators and influences a lot about the how the animated character behaves. I suppose in less expensive productions, you could just try and plop a voice over in, but all the top studios will use the video reference and ask the talent back for voice fixes.

In general, I found the talent to be really fun to be around and no-one just phoned it in. They really liked to work on the films. I ended up sitting next to Gerard Butler at the employee screening of Dragon at the now non-existent Universal Amphitheater. He stayed for the whole film. Unlike me, he hadn't seen it in thousands of tiny chunks during dailies, and had a blast.
This seems to hold pretty well. I've been using vim for approximately 15 years now too and my current setup and preferences are surprisingly similar to those in this post.

There is a certain organizational aspect here that I think is important to emphasize: the given paradigm is that vim is a text editor forming one part of the design environment. Assembling this environment inside a tmux session is particularly easy and powerful. And plugins can add some quality of life.

In addition, I also like the vim-slime plugin. All this does is facilitate sending lines/regions/blocks to a REPL (or in principle, any tmux pane). It's similar to the tmux send-keys function described in the OP.

A different paradigm of vim use is growing in popularity, which is the transform vim into a full IDE on its own.

I am currently learning Dart and Flutter in my free time (using it for a hobby project) and so far, I haven't seen any real use case for Dart alone.

To me, Dart is Flutter. I don't think the Dart team have tried to make their language stand out and show its usage outside Flutter. I mean I enjoy the language a lot, it's really faschinating using it and reading the docs but it doesn't provide any value alone sadly.

I am well aware of all the fullstack frameworks poping up every second, but I think if the team created such framework in the language then that would definitely prove it's capabilities and maybe attract more people.

When I think about it, Ruby and Rails is in a similar situation. The only reason people are learning Ruby is because Rails, but to my understanding (forgot the source) but the team behind Ruby is well aware of this and is trying to prove Ruby's value outside Rails.

It's about six or seven times worse than influenza, and influenza is only tolerated because of the human tenancy to treat bad things we grew up with as inevitable.

Absolutist attitudes are a common cognitive bias, but an unhelpful and unhealthy one.

… are you familiar with the difference between "statistically significant" and "large"?

The graphs in what you linked to are showing that the big spike in cases peaks at… 10 extra acute coronary syndrome calls per week, and 3 extra cardiac arrest calls per week.

The COVID IFR for men between 20 and 24 is 0.008%, and between 25-39 is 0.017% so I'm going to approximate the average for 18-31 as the mean of those because I don't have the actual number.

The male population of Israel in that age range is about 780k, which means that without vaccination the disease would have killed about 97.5 Israeli men in that age range.

Versus the literally dozens you're citing as a reason to be terrified.

Some languages provide serialization of most anything by default, such as Lisp. Now, even in Lisp there are objects which don't make sense to serialize, including a TCP connection; however, the components thereof can be collected and sent across the wire or wherever else in a standardized way. The C language, in comparison, offers a few serialization routines for non-structured types, and that's about all.

So, my point is the ability to take running state, serialize it, and reinstate it elsewhere is only impressive to those who have misused computers for so long that they don't understand this was something basic in 1970 at the latest.

If the world falls apart your net worth will be composed only of things you can actually protect and defend, because everything else will just be taken away from you. The rule of law isn’t around to save you.

But that’s why if the world falls apart, the most valuable resource will be attention. If you have a lot of true followers, and they believe you know what you’re doing and that life could be better if they follow you rather than go it alone, then you will have many people to protect you and bring you resources, and in this way you can build your dominion in the post apocalyptic world.

If you’re a true prepper, you should be hoarding influence and attention. This will give you the best life possible at the end of the world.

One of the reasons I got fed up of being someone else's employee and shifted towards B2B and entrepreneurialism was exactly that the above strategy wasn't really working even back then. If it's a direct approach without a personal introduction there's too much randomness to justify jumping through a lot of hoops in a recruitment process even if in fact there would be a great fit and everyone would be happy if they ended up working together.

With the kind of market we've had in the tech industry for at least a decade now it doesn't make sense for good candidates to spend too much time on potential employers who make it too difficult to work with them. Maybe that will change again if the growing economic problems persist for more than a year or two but I'm a long way from placing that bet right now.

There are 2 options:

1) giving them the benefit of the doubt, there might be rational reasons for it that I’m not aware of - unlikely but possible

2) a politician’s primary objective is to get re-elected and accepted/appreciated by their peers. They are usually rich enough to withstand whatever crisis is plaguing their country anyway, so they aren’t afraid of the consequences of their actions. Therefore, politicians probably benefit from what they do now more so that what they’d get if they actually enacted policies that benefit the common man at the expense of large companies and/or lobbyists.
It's alway pretty fascinating to me that people can actually be productive without an IDE.

I've tried several times Vim and I just don't get it how you can live without certain functionalities, I'm sure that with enough tinkering you can get pretty close but, for example, search seems to always be kind of a pain in the ass for the complex queries with regex through many files and stuff like that, specially the presenting of results has never been close in my opinion as to something like IntelliJ does it.

Things like "god damn, I've done goofed or I don't quite remember something" and having the internal file history with a diff readily available.

Some of the click and find implementation/usages never seems to quite there to me.

I could go on, if you're truly being productive and not missing out on feature, more power to you, but I honestly wonder if there's no element of fun/pride in using something like vim now-a-days, which of course is totally fine and way more important in my book (to an extent) to pure productivity.

There is also the point of being able to use vim bindings inside of the IDE.

Maybe I'm just an idiot that can't Vim, totally open to that idea, but I'm truly wondering how productive it actually is.
