People make the assumption that the roads aren’t designed with truck travel in mind methinks.

The other option, making trucks pay their “fair share”, would just get passed along to consumers as higher prices and nothing would change. Like when fuel prices go up, truck drivers don’t eat those costs but they get a higher fuel surcharge which just gets accounted for when they’re pricing the goods on the grocery store shelves.

I also don’t think you fully understand how massively huge the transportation system is in the US. Assuming they could switch over to trains and assuming you live in the Bay Area they’d just have the trains deliver to Tracy or Stockton (where all the big warehouses currently are) and still have trucks deliver to the store down the street. Same amount of trucks you currently see with the only difference being the long haul truckers now doing local work.

Keeping with the Bay Area example, the last three times I delivered there two loads were going overseas out of Oakland and the third was a super small warehouse in San Leandro which didn’t even have a dock and I had to back a half mile down this tiny street — twice because there wasn’t anywhere to turn around and I was originally facing the wrong direction. I deliver to California all the time and all the warehouses are outside of the big cities. Well, except in LA but they’re just generally wrong about most things.
I also see this very widespread! Young adults today seem to hold desperately onto parts of their youth. Entertainment, experiences, lifestyles, even food and clothing.

When I was a kid, it was a scramble to get your driver's license as soon as you were legally old enough. Today I know so many 22 year olds without a license and zero interest in getting it. Where has the ambition gone?
Perhaps they could require the people who make the go/no-go decision on flight safety to visit a prison every three months and receive a lecture on how this will be their new home if they knowingly approve a plane not safe to fly.

I worry about generalizations in this regard, but consistently my daughter's peers in college who had helicopter parents were less functional. May simply be correlation of course so drawing conclusions would be bad.

That said, it's super hard to experiment on kids without getting in trouble :-). As a parent unfortunately you have to pick a path. My eldest had the tendency to only learn through experiencing the negative side effects of choices directly, called "natural consequences" in parenting books from the turn of the century. That led my wife and I to help get those experiences in early before they could do real harm and to try to give experience with things not going well, and then going back and taking a different route and experiencing things going better. Was that what helped them become functional adults in college? Or was it my wife insisting they did their own laundry once they turned 10? Three times a week one of them was asked to prepare dinner for the family once they were old enough to reach all of the appliances and use kitchen utensils with proper care.

You don't get multiple universes to try out different techniques to find the best one. Talking with other parents of similarly aged kids helps and is reasonably cathartic. Exposure to lots of different choices helps surface things that are similar and things that are different.

Conflict management is something else entirely. Both my and my wife's family of origin were "conflict avoiders," which really had a hard time growing beyond their specific complexes. When we found ourselves doing that with each other we recognized it and got some help with working through it. Our kids benefited by our modeling and all of them have remarked at one time or another that their friends have said something positive about their ability to negotiate touchy subjects. I count that as a win.

Bottom line is that parenting is a tough job and its good to seek out advice.
You aren't alone.

Software development is hard.

Very hard.

The thing that makes a programmer is obstinance, more than anything.

Stick with it, you'll get there.
That's interesting. At first glance, a safety issue looks plausible. But if it turns out someone is playing business optimization games with safety issues, by consciously creating the safety issues, with the intention of using them to get out of some other regulatory compliance... that doesn't sound in the spirit of the aviation safety programs.

In the US, I suspect that pretty much any personnel who observed this could raise it as an issue through an FAA safety reporting program. There are some protections for reporters.

(These programs, and the people and organizations who participate in them, are a big part of why aviation is as safe as it is. It's something a lot of people seem to take very seriously. It's pretty inspiring, IMHO, and if only we could collectively believe in other common goals like this, and execute as well.)
Why does my SSH private key still work after changing some bytes? (2016)
Not a googler, but: this is absolutely right.

Chargebacks are the mutually assured destruction of banking. There’s nothing wrong with firing a nuclear weapon if you truly feel it’s in your best interests; if you do, expect that your adversary will respond in kind and terminate all business with you now and in the future.

Sometimes that’s the right move, sometimes it’s not, just go into it with eyes open.
Zero tolerance towards violence was a huge mistake. I know there were legitimate concerns about school bullying, but violence will always be a part of the human condition and we need to develop some familiarity with it. Shielding children from that reality does them no favors.
Well the article is paywalled, but:

1. I don't think anyone is under the delusion that electric vehicles consume no fossil fuel generated electricity. "Zero emissions" has never meant "free energy"

2. That electricity is typically produced more efficiently, and is always consumed more efficiently in terms of emissions/distance vs ICE cars leading to a net lower emissions of EVs over lifetime (including raw material & production). This only improves as more of the grid is decarbonized

3. There is a material value to de-localizing emissions from roads. See: asthma rates in children living near freeways
I think this is needlessly discouraging.

The end of a year really does correspond to a lot of things that end. The tax year, project deadlines, the big holiday season is over, reconnecting with family via reunions, etc. There very much can be a feeling of wiping the slate clean and starting fresh, and that isn't just a superstition; it aligns with things that actually happen in our lives.

So there's nothing wrong with using that extra bit of space of psychic room to do some reflection and come up with some new goals.
My understanding is that calculating ranked choice isn’t the easiest thing to do.

In Australia we have a national electoral commission (AEC) who runs the process, have perfected this over decades. So much so that they also run the elections for Registered Organisations (unions) [0].

The story is similar in our state elections where our electoral commissions are so we’ll regarded you can hire them to run elections for your company [1].

This is all to say, trust in the process and the fairness and accuracy of the outcome are paramount to democracy. And that we’ve been doing ranked choice for decades, it works—don’t write it off because there’s teething issues.

I can see merits to the US approach of having thousands of effectively independent elections being run (for a county for example), and the Australian approach where it’s run nationally by a capable independent commission that holds itself to a very high standard.

Stories like this one, where a county is trialling a different election process, are important to share and appreciate—not because they stuffed up, but because they fixed it. It’s one of those counterintuitive times where admitting failure/fault should build trust.

Democracy is slow on purpose. Statistics get us results on election day, but they don’t change the outcome even when they’re wrong. To borrow some jargon, I think it’s more important democracy is observable than it is fast.

Ranked choice voting is, to my knowledge, the most representative process to elect. No vote is wasted. You don’t have to game theory your choice of the lesser of two evils, you rank who you prefer.

It captures your opinion, not the shadow groupthink choices.

This is all to say, keep going it is worth it.

Yeah true, but even with multiple domains I’d consider that within your company (as long as those domains are all owned by the company). If it’s outside your company (e.g. maybe your company is working with another company) then there should be some sort of mechanism to accept/decline invites
I got tired of reading "expert" opinions in this thread... All throwing numbers that "don't add up", but at the same time confusing some elements of the story to make it sound as "fake". Sometimes, there are just hard workers seeing an opportunity to grow after years of waiting and fighting. You see the deal, it sounds risky but you think you can do it and maybe it can change your life... You trust the wrong person, don't do your double checking, and boom, it just explodes in your face. Maybe that would never happen to this "experts", but it could definitely happen to me.
Google cloud is a distant third in the cloud space. So claiming they are a monopoly is frankly pretty ridiculous.
As a person who has written Rust code professionally for 4, here's why I returned to python: batteries included.

That's it. Having cargo download 1000s of package from who knows who for basic functionality is unacceptable. Rust's features, while absolutely phenomenal to work with, just aren't worth having insane npm-style dependency graphs and all the risks they entail. In comparison, Python's built-in modules are a godsend.

So all in all, I think you should continue to stick with python.

I wonder what happens to your personal and unrelated Google account if the project manages to get itself suspended.

I bet this could be weaponized fairly effectively - add a bunch of Google insiders to a project and get it noticed by an automated enforcement system. Turn the labyrinth against itself.
I don't have very much background in ML or distributed systems, so forgive my naive questions...

> After all, most ML in industry today seems to be lightweight models applied to heavily engineered features

I assume "lightweight models" are those that don't have too many parameters, and "heavily engineered features" mean that the data fed into the model has undergone significant pre-processing via potentially complicated UDFs -- hence the motivation for the project. Is that right?

> Quokka is an open-source push-based vectorized query engine ... it is meant to be much more performant than blocking-shuffle based alternatives like SparkSQL

Does anyone have pointers to what push-based vs blocking-shuffle engines are? Any good papers?

> It should work on local machine no problem (and should be a lot faster than Pandas!)

So I understand why Quokka is faster than Spark, but I'm a bit uncertain as to why the author is also making a comparison with Pandas on a single machine. Is it because the streaming pipeline design means that Quokka can better take advantage of multiple cores?

I don’t know if they’re operating yet for Canadian flights, but there are at least a few companies that will go through the hassle of battling it out with European airlines in exchange for a cut of the proceeds. Worked for us when Swiss tried to give us the runaround by inappropriately using a similar exception to the one you’re describing.
People seem to get really upset about a language that does not do what they want, or how they want it to be done, so they write articles about the language nobody is forcing them to use.

I get that Rust or C++ has more power or expressiveness, but neither of those come without additional cognitive effort for us non-CS types. But if I don’t _need_ to work in Rust to get my work done, why bother ?

Go is good enough for me, Rust for others, etc. Hating a technology that you can choose not to use seems futile.
Show HN: RPis with OpenWrt, Pihole can adjustably moderate Social Media for kids
I, for one, praise efforts to curtail and moderate Social Media, or even cloud access (wholesale) for kids, roughly aged 7-13 - who might have smartphones (but hopefully no data plans yet; perhaps SIM cards that can just make emergency cellphone calls, and SNS text msgs). This age group - still formative in their habits - may have yet to develop healthy boundaries as to how to regulate this themselves.

After like 100 hours of tinkering with 2 Raspberry Pis, I recorded 3 one-hour videos explaining how PiHole and OpenWrt can be used in conjunction, to increasingly restrict or relax access to specific Social Media sites - or the WAN at large - always leaving access to a local library of edifying ebooks, within the household LAN:

> Shouldn't the software be public too?

Eh? The inputs to the software need to be public and accurate, and then the public can run their own interpretations of the algorithms and yell when things aren't right. I'm assuming that's what FairVote, the organization mentioned in the article as alerting the county registrar, did.
Oracle, Comcast, Nestle, Equifax, Philip Morris.
GCP has paid support, it starts at around $30/month and gets you an assigned human within 4 hours or something.
> Shouldn't the software be public too? If voting machines are here to stay, the public ought to be able to see what code they're supposed to be running, no?

You'd hope so, but governments just contract out to companies that build the machines and software, and those machines and software remain proprietary IP of the companies that built them.
N95 masks were going for upwards of $50 during the shortage, but even at a nominal $1 apiece (and not including emergency capital investment to increase production), it would have cost $182.50 to $365 per person for 1-2 masks a day for 6 months.

Moderna was given $1 billion for the vaccine development, or about $3 per person, and then $1.5 billion for 100 million doses, or $15 per dose, totaling about $48 for 3 doses at that rate.

You can dig into the other rounds of funding if you're still skeptical, but clearly the vaccines were much cheaper than 6 months of the type of masks that, unlike the vaccines, are actually effective at preventing transmission of the virus.
Brains that may be vulnerable to political deceptions, biases, and prejudices. I can think of some countries where government, police, and judiciary seem to conspire regularly to implicate critics.
You are assuming that magical thinking is the optimal survival strategy as opposed to a lesser-evil byproduct of advanced cognition in a particular environment. This is like assuming that because all humans have appendices, having an appendix is necessarily a better survival strategy. It's not. It may have once served a purpose, but now the best it can do is kill you.

Nukes could wipe out the human race, but so could an asteroid. Coincidentally I'd be much less worried about having nukes if there was a lot less magical thinking in the world.
The irony is that chatbots and automated phone support dont function like this — instead, they amplify anger. By the time you actually get to a human, you’re not just frustrated with the original issue, but the massive (and often bigger) pain of dealing with the terrible automated support system.
Numerous cultures did, and do, do that.

Michael Schulson's 2014 Aeon essay, "How to Choose" remains at the top of my best reads of the past decade:

... It makes sense that it should have taken Dove some 15 years to realise that randomness could be an asset. As moderns, we take it for granted that the best decisions stem from a process of empirical analysis and informed choice, with a clear goal in mind. That kind of decision-making, at least in theory, undergirds the ways that we choose political leaders, play the stock market, and select candidates for schools and jobs. It also shapes the way in which we critique the rituals and superstitions of others. But, as the Kantu’ illustrate, there are plenty of situations when random chance really is your best option. And those situations might be far more prevalent in our modern lives than we generally admit. ...

As far as the supervisor/worker idea, it can act as both. You can just say "outline the steps for this" and then "implement step 1 above", "implement step 2". It does much better than when you try to get it to fulfill an entire complex task in one shot.

It might be good to explicitly disclose in your post that you are affiliated with Capacitor/Ionic.
The text you've quoted is from the "Restatement (Third) of the Law of Torts: Products Liability". That's not the actual law – that's a "Restatement" published by the American Law Institute (ALI), a body dominated by law professors, but also including some judges and practising lawyers among its membership. It is their summary of what they think the law is, mixed (in some cases) with their opinions on what the law ought to be. It is also trying to distill common general principles from the laws of all US states, so whatever it says may not be true in all states. They've found it helpful to have a section specific to prescription drugs and medical devices – but that doesn't mean that the fundamental legal principles regarding them are different from those applying to other products. Courts in the US frequently accept the ALI's "Restatements" as persuasive but not binding, and when they conflict with statute or relevant case law, the later takes precedence.

You appear to be claiming that "strict liability" is something specific to industrial and medical products – but under the law of many US states, "strict liability" applies to design defects in all products.

In fact, in the case of Brown v. Superior Court, 44 Cal. 3d 1049, 245 Cal. Rptr. 412, 751 P.2d 470 (1988) [0], the Supreme Court of California concluded that the the "strict liability" standard which applies to design defects in ordinary products should not apply to prescription drugs, because it threatened to increase the expense and risk of new drug development to the point that it might discourage it, thereby harming public health. A number of subsequent decisions, including Hufft v. Horowitz, 4 Cal.App.4th 8 (Cal. Ct. App. 1992) [1], extended that ruling to implantable medical devices. So, contrary to your assertions that medical devices are under some special legal regime which is stricter than that applicable to ordinary products, California product liability law is actually (at least in this regard) weaker for prescription drugs and (implantable) medical devices than for consumer goods, since it exempts them from one of the product liability rules which apply to almost every other category of goods.

I understand that this is possible. But this is not how mathematicians think. If you got together a bunch of mathematicians and asked to invent a programming language to do mathematics, they would never ever invent the concept of a class.

Mathematics (outside of stuff like category theory etc) is simply sets and mappings between sets. Anything more complicated is forcing the user to think in a way that mathematics does not.
