For me it's the one where governments with the most capable intelligence agencies in the world are quiet about who committed an act of international terrorism against an important piece of industrial infrastructure at the bottom of the ocean. One largely owned by Germany, a key NATO member. If this was some eco terrorism (imagining for a moment that they would have the means to procure the explosives and expertise to blow up a concrete encased pipeline at the bottom of the sea), it would present a serious risk for oil and gas infrastructure everywhere. It would not be taken lightly.
A court case could determine through discovery if it was really "restructuring" or just an excuse to fire this one person in particular.

Laying people off to avoid paying for maternity leave is illegal but quite common. It’s difficult to prove though.

She can file a complaint. If she can prove it was over her pregnancy she can win, but the company can simply lie and say it was part of larger layoffs.
Her best bet is to get someone clueless and angry to admit it was over her pregnancy.

Have her pick a fight with her boss over text message. If he admits it she sues and submits that as evidence. If he doesn’t there’s really no way to prove it.

Was super easy & fun when we were on 1080p60!

But that became kind of limiting for my preferences. For a while it wasnt really practical, unless you could accept this pretty low bandwidth stream.

But now fiber-optic display cables are readily available. My first purchase was a 100ft/30m 32Gbps DisplayPort cable, for $55! To be honest, I couldnt believe it worked; I assumed it was a scam.

It's indeed excessively long... too long! I can make it out my room & up to the roof & compute from there with less than half the cable. It's way harder to unroll & reroll than any cable I've ever had before, but also way longer. I have since gone back and bought shorter cables.

Thankfully active extension cables are pretty good & tend to just work. Newer models have an inline 1-port usb-hub every 25ft/7.5 (used to be every 5m), and then a wall-wart at the end to power the hubs (to honest that feels like it should be unnecessary; a dc-dc booster mid-span & bus power should be fine, albeit leaving nearly no power available at the end).

Also beware, there's a 7 tier limit from root-hub to device, so 5 hubs maximum * 7.5m, if you only plug in a single thing (a wireless keyboard/mouse dongle).

I think the case of Milo and Berkeley is a good litmus test. I would agree that non-violent protest is entirely reasonable. Violent protest and property destruction is not. I also think that backlash against people who are intellectually curious and want to hear what they had to say is unreasonable and this is the most contentious point. The idea that even listening to a contrary opinion is a moral offense is illiberal cult thinking. It is Direct attack on information gathering and critical analysis.

Judging people based on the content of their speech is one thing, but judging people on their willingness to even listen to offensive speech is another
The commenter I responded to initially wrote as if they actively seek anonymity by taking several inconvenient steps every time they shop, even when they presumably have nothing to hide. I wanted to understand what drove that behavior and if it was worth it.

They don't have to articulate it, but inability to articulate might be a sign of overcautiousness / paranoia that is having a negative impact on their life.

If one has something to hide - then sure, take extra steps to be anon. Otherwise, why put yourself through so much trouble?

The property tax you pay doesn't cover the externalities of the landfill - it pays for trash pickup and (roughly) opportunity cost for the land being used as landfill, as well as landfill maintenance required by regulations.

Probably the biggest externality here is the environmental cost of producing all the single use plastic containers in the first place, but the landfill itself will have externalities too.

Eventually, the rate of semi-permanent waste creation by humans on Earth will have to equilibrate with the rate at which semi-permanent waste is absorbed by the environment. Otherwise, the amount of waste would continue to increase indefinitely. We can certainly go a very long time at our current rate of waste creation, which is why the costs to future-people isn't included in the price. But those costs are real, and potentially include making sure chemical leeching doesn't occur over hundreds or thousands of years, not just decades.

The OP was made in an attempt to anon, but...is this actually a self-dox? How many expecting within months just got released from the company that has been clearly named?

IANAL! But maybe it's a recall when 49 CFR 573 says it is. Defects or noncompliance with motor vehicle safety standards are what make it a recall. It's not defined as whether you have to take it to the dealer or not.

> You may be able to get away with that if you don't have a family

I find it unsurprising that the care and attention of family requires different circumstances.

I don't really understand why whenever an alternative lifestyle is brought up there is always someone that says "Huh, yeah, well try doing that with a family, buddy!".

Some people live without family, and they shouldn't really feel the need to fit into a cookie-cutter existence that presupposes the future existence of a family unit -- they make it work.

If you have an interest, the most comprehensive book I'm aware of is "Zoned in the USA: The Origins and Implications of American Land-Use Regulation" by Sonia Hirt. Cornell University Press. 2014. ISBN 978-0-8014-5305-2.

She's the one quoted in the LA Times article: https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2020-01-19/single-fam...

Full disclosure, I was so impressed with Prof. Hirt's book that I wrote her Wikipedia page.
It's not that you cannot transmit from a high altitude balloon over the UK, but you are very restricted in transmit power and frequencies. My son and a friend of his built a Muon detector and sent it up under a high altitude balloon as a school science project. We tracked and chased it for 200 miles across England and recovered it eventually, a little the worse for wear. His was set up to transmit location, altitude, and muon flux in case we didn't recover it. It had three radios - two low bitrate RTTY transmitters at very low power (10mW?) and GPRS which was set up to only switch on after landing to help recovery (it's not legal to transmit GPRS while airborne). The RTTY turned out to be very reliable, even at 50 mile range, and especially with other HAB hobbists kindly relaying data back via the Internet. This was especially useful to locate the landing site when the balloon outran us and dropped below our radio horizon. The GPRS never worked, but that may have been because it landed in a pigsty and was attacked by the pig. Anyway, there's quite an active UK high altitude balloon community.

Edit: I uploaded video from the flight here: https://youtu.be/4jCU6kVOmc4

Most of the existing lots aren't big enough for large developments. It's probably going to be more of what we have -- relatively low-rise apartment complexes and townhouses, with carport parking or garages underneath.

I'd also expect more people who have space for ADUs to build them, although many of the lots aren't the right size or shape to fit one.

The really big, dense housing projects are being built on commercial land -- stuff like what is being built in downtown Sunnyvale, Santa Clara Square, Lawrence Station, and the proposed replacement of Cambrian Plaza.

Notably, all that big stuff is either already finished, or in the process of building, and didn't need the builder's remedy to get done.
> A system that protects 400 people but kills 1 is not a system that I want on public roads because I don't want to be in the 1 - Elon and the children of Elon are basically making the assumption that everyone is okay with this.
>
> The probability of an accident for any driver assistance system will ALWAYS be lower than a human driver - but that doesn't mean the system is safe for use with the general public!

Totally we should be wary of a system that protects 400 and kills 1. Thank you for providing the numbers. It helps me show my point more clearly.

If you are driving on a road you encounter cars. Each car is a potential accident risk. You probably encounter a few hundred cars after ten or so miles. Not every car crash kills, but lets just assume they all do to make this simpler. For the stat you propose, you are talking about feeling uncomfortable with an accident per mile of something around the ballpark of ten miles.

Now lets look at the data. The data suggests the actual miles per accident is closer to 6,000,000 miles per accident. This is six orders of magnitude diverged from the number of miles per accident that you imply would make you feel uncomfortable.

Lets try shifting that around to a context people are more familiar with: a one dollar purchase would be a soft drink and a six million dollar purchase would be something like buying a house in the bay area. This is a pretty big difference I think. I feel very differently about buying a soft drink versus buying a house in the Bay Area. If someone told me they felt that buying a house was cheap, then gave a proposed price for the house that was more comparable to the cost of buying a soft drink, I might suspect they should check the dataset to get a better estimate of the housing prices, because it might give them a more reasonable estimate.

So I very strongly feel we should cite the numbers we use. For example, I feel like you should really try and back up the use of the 400 to 1 number so I understand why you feel that is a reasonable number, because I do not feel that it is a reasonable number.

> Also if this was about safety and not just a bunch of dudes who think they are cool because their Tesla can kinda drive itself, why does "FSD" cost $16,000?

Uh, we are a on venture capitalist adjacent forum. You obviously know. But... well, the price of FSD is tuned to ensure the company is profitable despite the expense of creating it as is common in capitalist economies with healthy companies seeking to make a profit in exchange for providing value. It is actually pretty common for high effort value creation, like creation of a self-driving car or the performance of surgery, for the prices to be higher.

It’s not for you, it’s a way for Microsoft employees and Windows fanboys finally being officially able to buy good hardware and run Windows on it.

The ARM builds are precisely what Parallels is using here. The only piece left in doubt is Microsoft will bother to make drivers/use a boot compatibility layer and Apple has already said they aren't going to do it via bootcamp this time.
The only to solve homelessness in a city, definitionally, are getting the homeless to move out, or getting them housing. Given the insane real estate prices in the area, $550K seems accurate to buy them housing. Unless you plan to round them up and ship them to camps, or find a way to get them jobs that pay well enough to lease a $550K unit, you're sort of out of options.

It's not random at its core. It's a neural network picking the most statistically likely words to come next based on the previous content. Where the randomness does come in is that it will sometimes randomly not pick the most statistically likely output, but maybe the second, or third, or seventh most statistically likely. This keeps it from getting stuck in a rut and just repeating itself endlessly, although you can still see it do that behavior to some degree.
A brave, throwaway opinion.
I don't know a way to check the exact number, but I'm 100% sure I'm over 2,000 tabs.

At work now so can't check but my PC at home has 64Gb RAM and up to half of that is used by Firefox.

I've noticed it gets unresponsive over 160 windows. I currently have 156 open (it tells you the number when you exit Firefox. Each of those windows has at least 20 tabs.

Firefox is good for an excessive number of tabs because it only loads the tabs when you activate them. Chrome is a memory hog.
I've seen more than one team find that reimplementing an OpenCV capability that they use gain them both in quality and performance.

This isn't necessarily a criticism of OpenCV, often the OpenCV implementation is, of necessity, quite general, and a specific use-case can engage optimizations not available in the general case
I am not aware of any stores that use anything other than BT or WiFi. But if they wanted to spoof a cell tower, it's certainly not technically hard. You can buy a device to do it for a few hundred dollars. It's very illegal, of course.

But if they wanted to use your cell emissions for tracking, they wouldn't even need to spoof anything at all. They'd just have to passively listen to your phone talking with real towers.
Interesting, I didn't know that, I've only used them in auto mode. I also have SCD30s, the 40s are a pain in the ** to solder and they were hard to get because they are new.

I wonder why they don't just calibrate them off the factory line then? I mean, 50ppm is not much. In auto mode you won't get much better accuracy than that because you don't always air the house well enough to get down to 400 (let alone in a city's CO2 bubble).
Don't unless you do, or you have an explicit reward path with your own manager otherwise you seriously risk burning yourself and have nothing to show for it.
Not only does the government have the right to destroy it, but so does anyone else.

There's no reasonable expectation of recovery when you launch a balloon calibrated to go globe-trotting.

It's basically no different than the person who abandoned a mattress at my apartment block's dumpster. It's littering. They're giving it away, they're not expecting to be able to come back for it later.

Furthermore, nobody has a right to unregistered, unmanned, long duration balloon flight. Such a right would only exist if a state constructed it for its citizens. (and it would end at their boundaries)

I think it's cool that in practice people have been able to do so, but it seems the cool times are coming to an end.

Before you continue digging this hole you should consider web browsers don't load all old tabs on startup. I have definitely had 2000+ tabs open and that didn't even slow down the browser as usually less than 100 or so are loaded at a time. I basically use tabs as bookmarks.
Note that I use Firefox and not Chrome, and my tab usage is one of the reasons.

I carried around an impressive software engineering personal library, through various jobs and grad school. And it had a few benefits.

Even when I was poor and sleeping on the floor because I didn't own furniture, and didn't have health insurance, I'd still buy books (and cheap lunches with the team). I'd also print out a lot of tech docs from the Internet, and put them in discarded binders that I labeled neatly.

In addition to what I learned from the books and could reference from my library, there might've also been a signaling benefit. Early in my career, I was a kid with no degree, working as an intern at a hardcore software&hardware engineering company. I suspect that, on occasion, the impressive library signaled to people coming by my work space that at least I had interest/ambition/hustle (or maybe just presumptuousness).

Nowadays, the tech industry has way too much signaling, posturing, and self-promoting. But, before I get too judgmental, I should remember when I was starting out, and at least had an inkling of awareness that colleagues seeing my books couldn't hurt my opportunities.
I wish we could authenticate API access we pay ChatGPT (or anther AIs) for with peoples projects so they can avoid just immediately running out of API tokens (we’d be using our tokens not theirs).
