That doesn’t sound like it should be up to code? I’d expect building codes to require a floor drain where your water tank is.
I have very similar memories from my time in the computer labs at school. We also discovered `net send` and got it disabled a few weeks later.

The computers were really locked down to the point that they were annoying to use. Right click was disabled (at least in windows explorer?), among other things. One of my acquaintances wrote a program in visual basic called "Firstname Lastname's Computer Fixer" that was somehow able to disable many of the restrictions on the computer. I remember it was a pretty large window with lots of buttons though I can't remember what they were all supposed to do. After passing it around for a few months it was deleted from all our home folders and I found out that he was suspended for a week and banned from using computers. The computers got even more locked down. Oh well.

I think the original thesis is correct, but my best counterexample is the Covington Kids where the media had the original video which gave them the full context, yet they chose to hide that evidence and instead advance the idea that somehow the kids were white supremacists based on the pixels from one close-up photo.

I think another reasonable counterexample is Jussie Smollett's catastrophe, where any fleeting scrutiny whatsoever would tell you that it was fiction, but the media failed to question even the most ridiculous story and ran with the false narrative for weeks.
How are we doing in the chip shortage btw?

Not sure how it compares to XLL but I'd wager the bottleneck, in my case, is the API calls.
Could you explain what point you are trying to make? All of your posts in this thread seem to assume the person you are responding to said the opposite of what they actually said.

Above the poster said they would not buy a Tesla and you implied they would be supporting child miners by doing so? Where the article you linked associates Tesla with child labour in cobalt mining.

Here the poster said ending child labour was a 'win' and "how are child miners 'winners'" - aren't you in agreement that ending child labour is a 'win'?
The original kickstarter wasn't near enough for their initial goals without VC money (they raised 300k, which was only about 1,000 a backer)

And yes, in such a capital heavy field like fitness hardware, there would have been massive VC pressure.

The only way to drive that would have been to essentially show "they scale like software, not hardware". So sell investors on rapidly increasing revenue while sweeping the massive (even by tech standards) burn rate under the rug as temporary.

Why is it desirable to correlate runway names with the Earth's magnetic fields? Is it because the navigational equipment breaks / becomes inaccurate when there's a field shift?

It seems like it could be confusing over time to keep updating runway names as flight paths are repeatedly flown by generally the same sets of pilots, and as paths becomes familiar. For fancy autopilot setups most of the in-the-moment thinking is avoided and this may become a very minor detail.

Edit: Thanks for the quick info everyone! Now this makes sense.
Happy holidays :)
Wow so nothing in these chips is anywhere near atomic scale yet?

The burger is not health food by any means but not all calories are equal.

There’s more in the burger but the absorption rate is much lower compared to the liquid sugar in the soda which will go straight through the gut.

Some of the burger is probably going to be passed undigested and the protein and fat are going to need energy to break down before they can be used.

Meanwhile the sugar in the soda is immediately available to be used or stored as body fat. Pius you can keep drinking that stuff all day in between meals without ever feeling full.
All good, appreciate the apology, I'm bad at reading sarcasm, sorry!

And I'm very angry at LastPass too.

To be fair, the thing I'm the most angry about at LastPass is how the product felt completely stale. I remember signing up 6 years ago and there has been no change at all across the board. Bugs, issues, improvements, NOTHING.

They could have avoided all this, they just didn't.

Does this mean that unless everyone who you deem great and worthy get praise, people can't respect humans they heard of, grew up watching or had as idols?

In Pele's case, you really should read about that man and what he did outside the game he was famous for.

You're someone who managed to find hackernews, make an account and you have no excuse for not informing yourself before writing such a stupid comment. Correct it next time you get the urge to classify who should praise who and when.
None of the legitimacy ascribed to HCQ compares to the legitimacy of the vaccine. The only reason HCQ rose to prominence was because of COVID denialism, not because of actual scientific or therapeutic concerns as a reasonable alternative to the vaccine.

The library in Linden, NJ--a working class town--is beautiful. My town is much wealthier, but our library is nowhere near as nice. I definitely appreciate that a town that probably has more challenges has such a nice piece of public infrastructure.

Tesla currently have visual driver monitoring in beta. Right now they are relying on steering torque sensing. People have worked out how to trick the torque sensor with weights. People will work out how to trick the visual monitoring too.

In pretty much every car on sale today, the driver's seat seatbelt sensors can be trivially defeated. Should Ford be blamed if people realise that you can latch the belt before sitting down and the car will operate as though your belt is on? Surely Ford should be responsible if they failed to correctly interlock the occupancy (weight) sensor and seatbelt sensor?
I think this is pretty accurate other than the ADHD part.

Work from home is vastly superior to the distractions of an office (especially open offices) for me. At home, I have much more control over interruptions and noise, and completely eliminate the constant activity around me.

I actually never realized how badly ADHD hurt my productivity until I started working remotely and the constant distractions severely decreased.

Reading the first couple of sentences it seems that the definition of lying has been twisted a bit. Lying is about conveying information with the intent to deceive the listener. The acknowledgment that is made in the article that they believe media often deceives their listeners to advance an agenda by intentionally leaving out important context means that they are lying.

Trying to use a definition of lying that means only making false statements is not a proper definition. There is a big difference between someone who makes a false statement that they genuinely believe at the time and someone who makes a completely true statement but has omitted certain details in order to deceive the listener. The first person is simply mistaken and hopefully will correct themselves with more knowledge. The second example is someone who is using words to manipulate an outcome by getting someone to believe what is ultimately an untruth. It is completely possible to say only true things and be a liar.

"A lie that is half-truth is the darkest of all lies." ― Alfred Tennyson
In an effort to be 100% right about a general observation to which some exceptions exist, the author contorts the original argument o ridiculous extremes, asserting that other parties may be fools, may even be crazy, but they're absolutely not liars. I don't know why it's such a stretch to acknowledge that some people are dishonest; this seems like an ego trip of someone so anxious to preserve a reputation or self-perception of superior rationalism that they suspend all other critical faculties like probabilistic estimation. It's easier to debate abstractions than make a real-world judgment call that might be wrong.

But they’re wrong! Read the articles! The one Vermillion linked is FBI Says No One Killed At Sandy Hook. It’s discussing an FBI crime statistics report for the year the Sandy Hook shooting happened. The report lists zero murders in the town of Sandy Hook that year; Infowars thinks this means the shooting was fake.

According to Wikipedia, the FBI report is real and does in fact list zero deaths for Sandy Hook. They say the shooting was investigated by Connecticut state police instead of Sandy Hook local police, and since the FBI crime statistics are based on local police reports, it didn’t include the shooting.

This is such bullshit. There is a world of difference between 'FBI report does not list any deaths at Sandy Hook' (a factually true statement hat might mean different things to different readers) and 'FBI says no-one killed at Sandy Hook.' I call bullshit because the writer is no fool and understands the difference between an omission and a positive assertion (of absence or non-existence). It's really disappointing to see a person of obvious intelligence with a significant following resort to such specious arguments rather than just qualify or venture beyond their original assertion.

tl;dr sophistry masquerading as objectivity.
Infowars isn't the media.
I think shift+enter for new line would be a better choice if you were to highjack an existing shortcut. Probably barely used by anyone and it would be consistent with a line break shortcut in word/powerpoint and elsewhere.

Committing a formula needs to be a simple shortcut because it has to be used by the least technical users. You don't want to create a "how to exit VIM" mess in a retail product.
Not the point I’m making. If you misunderstand the capabilities of a product named “Autopilot” you might choose that over a taxi in a way you wouldn’t a totally manual drive. So the scenario would be “your friend stumbles out drunk and drives Autopilot, drives manually or takes a taxi” I’d rather they took a taxi. But if I were similarly mistaken about what “Autopilot” does I might not stop him driving home when I might otherwise.
Out of curiosity why would you prefer a DB foundation implemented in Node over a mature project in Haskell?

My point exactly - 1password.com addresses those problems (e.g. by adding a random key to the master password, and via Secure Remote Password auth), while using just a master password (sans random key) in a dumbly file-hosted vault does not.

Autopilot is not advertised as self driving.

Canadian telecoms have to be one of the most oligopolous (is that a word?) set of companies in the country.

Telus, Bell, Rogers all 'competing' with each other, each of them owning several 'budget/flank' brands so they can capture even more of the individual market segments.

It reminds me of tool manufacturers like Black and Decker creating (absorbing/buying out) once reputable brands that capture individual market segments (Dewalt, Craftsman, Stanley, etc.) - now it's been optimized down to cost, market capture, and quality/performance of tools.

Back to cell phones - I understand there's only so much spectrum to go around which limits what companies can afford to license/purchase from the government, along with how much throughput you can throw from those frequencies - but still!

I don't understand why Canadians pay so much for basic features in $/GB for example - they have some of the highest cost cellphone plans in the world!
Something tells me by the time this trickles down to AMD they will be on their next CPU iteration. Maybe some part of their Zen4 APU's maybe in 3nm.

People who love remote work usually have families. Time is a very limited resource when you have kids. Commuting and socializing with coworkers at lunch or at happy hours gets deprioritized.
False premise. The driver might not have been on the road if he couldn't rely on autopilot.

It's clear from the steer weight what it's intentions were.

You cannot compare it just with the worst case scenario. The driver, knowing his condition as demonstrated by the weight, could have taken a different form of transport, or none at all.

So you need to compare the pretty high chance of a unsupervised tesla crashing into a highway divider or parked lorry with the other modes of travel safety.

Instead you're picking an anecdote and running wild with it.
I agree with the other commenter, it's also explained in this CGP Grey video https://youtu.be/qD6bPNZRRbQ
I have to admire this rewrite. I noticed a list of books on writing in your comment history. Was this how you refined your writing?
It went like this:

1. Some legitimate research suggests that it might be useful against COVID.

2. Quacks announce that it definitely is the miracle drug against COVID that “THEY” don’t want you to know about.

3. Legitimate doctors counter the quacks and explain that its utility against COVID is not proven.

4. Trumpist Populists back the quacks because if the establishment is against it it must be good. It must be something “THEY” don’t want you to know about.

5. Democrats and other anti-Trumpists react hard in the other direction and conclude that it must be quack nonsense. There is no chance it could be legitimate because quacks and populists said it was legitimate.

6. Legitimate researchers from (1) are utterly forgotten because now it’s politicized and rational discourse is impossible. In the end all we have is evidence-free screaming and conspiracy theories.

Same exact sequence of events happened with Ivermectin, the debate over whether vaccine mandates were needed, debates over the utility of the vaccines themselves, the question of whether having had COVID is equivalent to having been vaccinated (or better?), and many other topics.

People need to learn that statements without evidence are like the “null” value. They mean precisely nothing, especially if they are from people without expertise.

Meaning “precisely nothing” means that they are neither a positive indicator nor a contrarian indicator. They are meaningless noise that should be completely ignored.
This is like a high school or college classroom where no one asks any question...you know no one understands what is going on. What I would look for is juniors who can ask questions, take a morsel of feedback, run with it for a bit, and then ask another question. (But avoiding giving away solutions right away, since you want it to be a learning experience).
Haha I'm in the same boat. I think it's the slight lag because this is server-side rendered with LiveView. I'm just trying to keep going when the occasional little hiccup occurs and I'm confident I didn't mistype. Takes getting used to, though, for sure.

> You can hold a view that is perfectly acceptable within mainstream society right now, and find that 10 years from now that view is considered extreme or dangerous. If you have a public and searchable history espousing that view, you could suffer very really consequences as a result, even if you no longer hold that particular view.

I think you would have a pretty hard time finding examples of this in somewhere like the US:

* Few things go from 'mainstream' to 'extreme' anywhere near that quickly.

* If something does make that transition, there would be hundreds of millions of people who previously held the view and millions of people who previously endorsed it publicly.

* People care about your current views, especially on topics where lots of people have changed their minds. In cases where I wrote about something and then later retracted it, I've never had anyone treat that as if I still hold my previous view.

Interestingly, a lawsuit about that was thrown out for the same reason given in this article:

https://www.businessinsider.com/covington-kid-nicholas-sandm...

Basically, the news was just reporting what someone said, so no foul.

> He objected to widely-reported statements by Phillips to the effect that Sandmann had "blocked" him and "would not allow him to retreat."

> But the judge said that these are "objectively unverifiable" and so can only count as opinion, which is unactionable in this case, as it is protected speech.

> Bertelsman also said: "The media defendants were covering a matter of great public interest, and they reported Phillips's first-person view of what he experienced.

> "This would put the reader on notice that Phillips was simply giving his perspective on the incident."
