From my observation, this is how they always worked in Australia (or used to work pre-pandemic). Automatic during the day, and manual at night.

This allows less stops for cars at night. At night on high traffic roads the lights stay green until someone presses the walk button, or a car arrives at an intersection.

Your best bet is to get into the habbit of always hitting the button. If you're worried about virus transmission, then use your elbow.

Ask HN: One of our Azure accounts was hacked – how to negotiate the bill?
Usually our monthly fee won't exceed 1,000 dollars. We discovered last month's bill is almost 3,000, and for this month up till now it's already over 200,000.

We collected the evidences and filed police report. The bill is paid through a distributor, anything we ask about the reduction of payment, the distributor just passes it on to Microsoft. I feel if we don't find a way to talk to Microsoft, we will just end up paying the whole thing.

Many of you might think we screwed up, we pay up, but I think it's more like a stolen credit card situation, we can negotiate with the bank. How do I go about this?
People demolishing poor condition or small houses and building high end homes on the land does not in any way demonstrate that buildings have negative value.

I ended up in Data Science and ML, my dissertation was primarily analytics related so it was a natural fit. The role was initially staffed primarily by ex-physicists disillusioned with academia to begin with.

If you are set on a permanent research position at least in the US lab system those are in my experience even more competitive than faculty positions as they come with the luxury of not having to teach. A post-doctoral position is quite possible but you have to consider you will like be early 40's by the time you finish and competing against late twenties, early 30's and post-docs are typically renewed at 3-4 years and are not permanent positions either, depending on the school and country they may not qualify for the same benefits in the university system.

By all means you should do what you feel, you are talking to a guy who left his job and now spends his time trying to develop a video game so I know a thing or two about jumping off the veranda - sometimes you just take a leap of faith and see what happens.
The very same Wikipedia article cited at the top of this thread includes links to several meta analyses demonstrating psychoanalysis’ effectiveness. The evidence is not conclusive, because it is apparently difficult to study psychoanalysis, but it falls on the side of it being effective.

Since the Windows Subsystem for Android actually runs Android, "Windows Subsystem for Android" is a product name and not just a description, and "Android" isn't a generic descriptive term in this context, it seems to me that Microsoft is using Google's Android trademark in a way that isn't protected as fair use.

More specifically, the reaction to lack of blur.

You can get 60 fps upconverted footage from motion interpolation to not exhibit the effect by adding copious gaussian motion blur.

The same problem (plus perceived judder due to low fps) appears if you play a video on a screen equipped with correctly tuned strobe backlight.

It's one of the reasons as to why simple kernel interpolation (blurmotion) with most kernels does not exhibit this effect either.
Do artists still release radio edits of their singles? Back in the 90s, I was always a little pissed off when my fave bands did that. It was likely their record labels, but still… edited length for airplay is such bullshit.

Edit: I’ll add that I much prefer the single edit for one of my all-time fave tracks, Firestarter by The Prodigy. It’s shorter and harder hitting than the album version.

My post at the time was this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28624170
The HYG database has the velocity vectors of the stars. These are calculated from proper motion (i.e. the star's movement across the celestial sphere) and radial velocity (measured spectroscopically, by the Doppler shift of the light).

In short (kiloyear) timescales, relative motion doesn't matter, because the stars move so slowly. For Beta Pictoris the velocity vectors are:

$ cat hygdata_v3.csv | grep "Bet Pic" | cut -d "," -f21,22,23
0.00000061,0.00001886,-0.00001106

0.00001886 parsecs/yr is ~20km/s. At this speed, it would take 10,000 years to travel a mere 0.6 light years. A rounding error.

On longer timescales, the velocity vectors are useless, because it's an n-body problem, and the initial conditions (position and velocity vectors) have massive error bars. Calculating accurate stellar positions in the far future is a task for a group of astronomy PhD's and is beyond my limited skills.

The story timeline is never stated, but it doesn't take place far enough into the future for stellar motion to matter---if you follow the clues you can bound it.
Such an unforced error for Tesla. They're under siege from all angles, and even if Musk weren't shackled with a raging Twitter addiction he's distracted with running several side hustles at a time when they desperately need a CEO who's completely focused on one job.

Er, the parent literally did that, in the bit you quoted. All the results of thawing mentioned in the article are from the older freezing procedures. Current methods (as mentioned in the article) use a form of vitrification. My understanding is that no one has been (intentionally, carefully) thawed after being vitrified using "modern" techniques, so we really don't know what condition a body would be in after unthawing using current technology.

Now, "not knowing" doesn't prove anything, of course, and I think it was correct for the article to describe the evidence we do have, even if it's necessarily out of date. But it would have been nice for them to acknowledge that the unthawing data we have is not representative of what would happen if a "current-gen" cryonics "patient" were to be thawed today.
It absolutely is. I can also see that comment being interpreted as not caring about black academics, which is unfortunate, as I really don't think she meant that here.
I think that’s the most likely successful outcome.

1) human mind can be simulated

2) human consciousness is totally dependent on physical connections of brain neurons

3) something like nanobots are able to determine the frozen brain connections despite the damage of being frozen

4) some organization is curious enough to do the work to bring you back

5) live your second life, hopefully in some type of humanoid android and not your great-great-great-grandkids PlayStation 25

The likelihood of all of that happening is probably pretty low. But you have 0% chance of coming back if you don’t get frozen.
> Without doing that... those stuck & burned bits will certainly add "flavor" to the stew.

Pretty sure you're joking, but very likely they will. A limited amount of little charred bits taste quite good, and unless there's serious issues with heating or composition, it's not like it's going to overwhelm the rest of the flavors.

Where is the issue? The two companies can sign and keep separate copies of the contract/transaction. That's literally what they do now. Just digitize it, no blockchain necessary.

Companies could sign a text file of a contract with PGP keys. We could standardize a transaction format and both companies could sign each exchange. Company A would keep the contract and Company B's signature, and vice versa. Trusted third parties (our attornies, banks) could sign as witnesses for bigger transactions.

What do cryptocurrency and blockchain achieve over that, especially given the high costs of transactions?

My Embarrassing Google Interview
“Laws” of software estimation for complex work (2021)
One that continuously comes up at places I work is email validation. Every place I've worked there's someone who want to ensure that users providing "real, valid emails", and no matter how often or clearly I explain why that's a hard problem, I've always seen the team tasked with putting something to attempt it. These days I mostly end up giving the "if you use that ad-hoc validation scheme, you'll block x% of potential signups", and let the business decide if x% is acceptable. That, or I tell them to integrate 3rd party accounts and let people user their google, facebook, or whatever login.
The NIH, like most federal agencies, is used to this legal doctrine known as "deference," which comes in many flavors, usually you will hear of "Chevron deference." The general idea is, (step 1) when Congress does not specify what should be done, (step 2) the agency's decision need only be "reasonable." In this context, "reasonable" means "a lawyer spent words writing it," which given how the government operates, is almost always the case. So here, Congress _did_ specify what was to be done. Oh. So no deference for you.

It's really hard to figure out what to write in legislation. It is also somewhat hard to update the legislation to accord with new but subtle understandings, especially considering how much attention Congress members can possibly have as compared to how much law is in the books (go to a law library, look at a copy of the United States Code without the annotations, and consider how long it would take to read it, and that is only the beginning). But it is better when courts apply the law as written than making stuff up to suit their preferences, constrained by their prior precedents (assuming you are still at a law library, look at a copy of the United States Reports -- all the Supreme Court opinions ever -- and consider how long it would take to read that, and that is only the beginning).

Sure, and experimental things fail all the time. Doesn't mean we shouldn't keep trying. Learning from failures is how progress is made.

I'm skeptical of this cryonics stuff, but I can see the appeal: even if the chance of being eventually revived is a tiny fraction of 1%, if money isn't an issue, why not? If humanity doesn't destroy itself over the next century or two, it might be fun to see what the future is like.

Ok, but this is what people pursuing perpetual motion say, too. Meanwhile, the fundamentals of what's being attempted here are pretty implausible. Not all scientific advancements pattern match to the conventional journal article track on which most science is done today, but the oddball projects are signaling something.

I don't like getting super deep into these threads, because my normal tendency will be to nerd out on all the reasons I think Alcor is kind of shady, but I'm acutely aware that there are real people involved here and these situations are always incredibly sad. I really just want to chime in to push back on the idea that "modern" cryonics have the problems worked out; I think it's kind of likely that the insurmountable problems here are fractal.

Am no defend-the-blue type of person but all of you claiming that the police turn up with excessive force for swatting need to educate yourself. Please watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IFPRyFW9F4

These swatters want the police to turn up and use deadly force. They use voice & call scramblers to call the police. The swatters tell the dispatchers that they are mentally unstable / psychotic and have already killed multiple family members and are ready to inflict more damage. Dispatchers have very little time / training to identify if this call is authentic. They just relay the information to the cops who turn up expecting to face a hail of bullets.

"Hello, helpdesk? I can't find the official email server. No, not Hotmail, not Yahoo, not G-mail, not Apple Me. I only want the official email server. Hello?"

> tl;dr for now mastodon doesn't offer an easy path to just use the service w/o thinking about its details.

Sure it does? Pick a free+open provider to register yourself (or ask any of your friends for an invite to their server).

It's no more effort than say, signing up for a cellphone telephone number, and everyone figured out how to do that. Children manage to handle "you have to pick a server first" when they load up Minecraft (each of which has it's own moderators and their own unique rules! -- some are even invite-only!), and the kids seem to get along just fine.

---

I get your point. Being a free, open, decentralized network means there's one extra step to registration -- I agree with your complaint.

But it's literally just one extra step, and it's not even a difficult one. The idea that this makes Mastodon difficult to use because of that, seems completely farfetched -- every other popular network has had a similar step and managed to overcome it with zero issues.
Yep. The _exact_ same thing happened with me. Seeing the forest for the trees appears to be a skill lacking at the top at AMC. What's worse, is that the entire thing killed my perspective on the brand. I didn't think of them as anything but the publishers behind two of my all-time favorite shows (BCS, BB) until the AMC+ debacle and everything around BCS. It's just bizarre to me. All of the major incumbents in cable took a "wait and see" approach after watching Netflix and Hulu eat their lunch. I don't know why AMC chose to wait, see, and then do everything wrong afterward.

Now here I am ranting with like 3-4 posts about how bad of a taste in my mouth they've left. It didn't have to be this way!

Sinovac is good. Almost entire Asia, Africa, South America used it. If it was bad, then everyone would be 'stuck with zero-covid'.

Sinovac is not good only because Wall Street wants to sell Pfizer to China and China doesnt want it. Hence "Xi isn't willing to accept VACCINES" nonsensical title. It was either in WaPo or NYT.

Literally lying, smearing, corporate hit job that drops one word, 'Pfizer' in order to be able to push it behind the word 'vaccines'.

Why Pfizer? Because their lobbyists turned out to be most influential. Neutralizing every single vaccine maker in the West including the mRNA alternative, Moderna.

Hence the gigantic campaign that is "China is in trouble".

Its not China that is losing ~100,000 a year to covid despite vaccination and 'reopening'. Its the US. The US is in trouble.
