> Refuse a ride because Uber knows I'm not vaccinated.

> None of this situations is far fetched, and none of those situations is something positive.

Not only is that type of a situation not far fetched, it was the reality throughout Canada as recently as 2021 and 2022.

"Also effective October 30, travellers departing from Canadian airports, and travellers on VIA Rail and Rocky Mountaineer trains, will be required to be fully vaccinated in order to travel."

https://www.canada.ca/en/transport-canada/news/2021/10/manda...

Given Canada's large geographic area, access to domestic air and rail travel is extremely important.

That type of unjustifiable discrimination also applied to other services/venues/events, too, such as restaurants.

What's even more nonsensical is how those policies remained in place even when it was blatantly obvious that the so-called "vaccines" involved didn't seem to prevent infection and didn't seem to prevent transmission, even among the so-called "fully vaccinated".

The very negative social and economic consequences of those awful policies far outweighed the non-existent "benefits".

If some good did come out of this, it's that at least a larger segment of the Canadian population realizes the importance of privacy, especially of medical records.
Which is exactly what we have now
Yeah you can't just do this with a consumer webcam out of the box because they're constantly trying to auto-adjust the white point. I mean not if you want anything "accurate". (Some webcams allow you to lock the white point in software though.)

But indeed, it is very non-obvious what you'd select for the constant exposure and white point (or combined as a gray point). You might also want to apply a strong curve to the brightness so nighttime skies are quite visible.
This is my thinking too, yet for some reason, 90% of job desciptions insist the candidate has N years of experience with M stack. As if someone who was building websites with Rails for 10 years is somehow not qualified for building the same websites with Symphony.
Typescript is more of "firmly" typed than strongly, in my not so humble opinion.

I guess it's beats C for IoT, but with Typescript it still feels like the S in IoT stands for Security.

i wonder how much traffic it would take to DDoS Azure's Web UI. You're talking about like 1,000,000+ orchestrated/coordinated silently hijacked machines all... what? curl'ing in a loop some API of theirs?
Hello HN! Would you not preserve your favourite posts and comments?
Yeah, great question! This includes markdown instead of plaintext, the upvote/downvote score, controversiality, and more. It can grab anything out of a full comment response: https://www.reddit.com/user/xavdid/comments.json
Just use uBlock Origin to block that particular DOM element.
I would love to be able to download and archive all the posts I ever upvoted. Honestly that would have more value to me than my own comments. Does anyone know if there is a project for this?
IMO anything you buy from Amazon that goes into your body should be considered at best fraudulent and at worst toxic until proven otherwise.

Yes, this is a remaining issue for this project. I need another AI service to understand images.
Those are indeed leadership failings. After-market processes should be put in place to ensure quality. If that means slowing the cadence of releases, fine, so long as the value delivered is there. If you have millions of users, it sounds like it is. In which case my point about just getting it out the door isn’t applicable.
In my experience it's when you post something that someone has a strong opposing opinion about. Same for flagging, seems to be treated as a super-downvote most of the time.

Heck, a medium-spec 20 year old computer is plenty fast for common desktop use.
I have to prompt engineer a lot more with 3.5 than 4. The way I asked questions and convey what I want tends to be much more structured with 3.5, in a less natural way than I can do with 4. Hopefully 4 would be even better at answering a structured prompt like that, but also maybe not: For quick questions with a short answer 3.5 will sometimes give a simpler answer than 4, but 3.5 is correct. 4 isn't necessarily wrong, but it sort of reads into the question a bit more, the the answer is less succinct, more caveats and nuances explained, etc. In examples like this even though both give a correct answer, the one from 4 may be undesirable. You don't want to have to read through an extra paraph to pick out the answer to your question. There's more frictions.

Of course the above scenario is easily solved: Change your prompt to include "Be Brief", but that's exactly the argument-- the old prompt is at least in part obsolete and much changes to achieve functional equivalency in 4. And the you need to check for unanticipated changes to the answer that "be brief" would cause: maybe it would now be too brief! Maybe not, but you have to have some method of checking.

It is very difficult to estimate the sizes of objects in the sky. I once saw an odd machine-like object in the sky of Shanghai, China in broad daylight. I thought, why is nobody concerned, or even looking? After awhile I saw it sway a bit and realized it was an anchored kite. I thought it was huge but it was just close.

Don't really care about production ready for now, more a playground.

Obvious choices would be GCP, AWS, but wanted to know if there is something more tailor made.
Already happening. My soldering iron, pimple-popper camera, and toy lightsaber all take USB-C. Though the lightsaber isn't compliant and just wired up the power and ground pins from the USB connector with no more complexity than barrel jack, rather than doing the proper USB-C/PD things to indicate how much power it can take, so some cables/chargers won't even give it anything.

Yep, Reddit's paging API only gives you the most recent 1k each of comments and posts.

I'd suggest starting by fetching recent posts, then download your GDPR archive and run it through the tool as well (the `archive` command). Then it'll be as if you fetched everything from the web API (best of both worlds).
Prohibition obviously reflected the will of the people—it’s impossible to amend the constitution without supermajority support. The Volstead Act was approved by overwhelming majorities of both houses, and then ratified by 46 of 48 states.

It wasn’t “ridiculous.” It was one of the first things women did with the vote. It probably would’ve worked if it hadn’t been for Irish and Italian immigrants.
They go bankrupt, because their liabilities exceed their assets. There are three main sets of creditors - the US government who are receiving this $142.7 billion, equity shareholders who own $MMM, and bondholders. In a bankruptcy, you arrange levels of creditors by "seniority", where more senior creditors are paid first. In this case, I would imagine the levels of seniority are:

1. The US government
2. Bondholders
3. Equity shareholders

3M has plenty of assets to be distributed to the creditors - the manufacturing capabilities that you mention, intellectual property, relationships with purchasers. These assets might be sold directly on the market (this is easier with physical assets like manufacturing labs). A new corporation with new management might be established to handle liquidating the assets, or even running the business (this is what happened with FTX). Either way, it seems like bondholders and shareholders alike would get zero'd out and the US government could do what it want with 3M's assets.

To answer your question succintly:
> 3M is the only manufacturer of tons of important materials as I understand it, so it's not like they can just get erased from the market

3M is a corporation and one of their assets is their ability to manufacture tons of important materials. 3M the corporation would be obliterated but their ability to manufacture tons of important material would likely be sold off.
Taurine is said to have an anti-anxiety effect. I have taken it for this reason and believe it is effective (or placebo ..).

> Aha, so during the Opium Wars, in this battle, the US invaded China, killing hundreds of Chinese soldiers and capturing four forts, but you have some definition in your mind where "the opium wars didn't involve the US".

So by this logic, during the ISIS's existence, PRC intruded into India. India is against ISIS. Therefore, China is on ISIS's side?

> The Chinese have a different opinion.

Opinions don't matter though.

So strange you are fixed on a war that long ago. The duration between the last US-UK war and Opium wars is much shorter than the Opium wars and the present. During this time, US helped China by opening up its market asymmetrically and being on its side during WW2 and even gave China aid.

> President Roosevelt approved $25 million in military aid to China on 19 December 1940, permitting the Chinese to purchase one hundred P 40 pursuit aircraft. By late spring 1941, the United States had also earmarked over $145 million in lend-lease funds for China to acquire both ground and air equipment.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_News_Transfer_Protocol

Originally over UUCP (Unix Unix Copy Protocol) and done via dial ups at night (when the rest of the batch transfers were done - email too with the old bang path). The two servers would exchange all the batched email and news posts that were routed to the other side.

RFC 977 ( https://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc977/rfc977 ) has an example of how files are copied between the two systems (section 4.6) including fetching and receiving mail.

Note that not all posts outbound are necessarily of interest to the other server. An IHAVE message could come back with either a "I want it" type response or a "not interested"

> The IHAVE command informs the server that the client has an article whose id is <messageid>. If the server desires a copy of that article, it will return a response instructing the client to send the entire article. If the server does not want the article (if, for example, the server already has a copy of it), a response indicating that the article is not wanted will be returned.

That's how some of the moderation worked - your server would say "I don't want anything that came by way of X host" or "not interested in that newsgroup."

One of the amusing things to me (looking back at this), if you're familiar with HTTP response codes, you'll likely get most of the way through the NNTP ones.

We already have a shortage of physicians. Stating that there is market demand for another doctor in a particular area will accomplish nothing. This is not a free market where supply and prices can adjust to meet demand. If you actually want to do something productive in that field then find a way to fund more residency slots at teaching hospitals.

Restauranteurs and franchisors are already quite sophisticated when it comes to location decisions and real estate operations. The notion that they are somehow unaware of latent demand for fast food in a particular area is quite naive.

This. This. This.

When you imagine that people are machines, feed them OKRs, put a lot at stake, and stack-rank them, you are systematically stamping out the heavy tail that gives rise to spectacular things. Only with mediocrity can an individual "consistently deliver on commitments".

The solution is portfolio thinking. Stop demanding that each employee be a Treasury Bond, and have a portfolio of growth stocks instead. Speaking of portfolios, we know what active management does, do we not?

Additionally, there is a rhythm to things. The field lies fallow, and then there is planting, and then it bears fruit. It's not just constant visible output.
I actually agree with you 100%. I didn't express myself clearly. I meant:

Both employees and employers should have the freedom to choose whether to work fully onsite, fully remotely, or hybrid, based on their preferences.
I'd go beyond that. Everything a corporation is doing for you today is tenuous. Google doesn't need to politely ask you to consider switching back to an office desk to have the threat of coercion.

After all, the people who were fired in January weren't given any communication that carried an implicit threat ahead of time. It was just "boom, you are gone." Nothing about the fact that US labor laws give me stupendously little power against my employer has changed between last week and this week.

if n == 1:

else:

I think this is in fact one of the main functions of art, to "translate" your inner journey into characters and in the process you give a sort of mirror for an audience to reflect on. You're not telling them what to do, but providing a map.

With a compelling narrative it becomes more palatable, and realizations can feel your own, which is a big contributor to taking action.
So what, they'll pay a few million (even few billion) fine, and go back to doing it anyways.

I read all the scientific articles over-and-over and dipped into the other articles over time. Eventually I think I read much more than half of the full set. Not a bad thing. If we'd had smartphones back then I'm not sure I'd learnt anything useful.
No, it is clearly not as the pigeon flies. That is incorrect.

When I click on my local subway stop it seems entirely accurate, and the stations don't form any kind of circle at all. In fact I can't find any subway stop origin that seems to form anything even close to a circle.

Also, according to the "about" it's calculating from actual subway schedules.

And it has nothing to do with street grids. It's subway trips, not walking.

I agree with this.

Although there are APIs used in production whose output changes/evolves over time.

First one that comes to mind is Google Translate. We spend 6-figures with the Google Translate API annually, and recently we went back and checked if Google Translate is improving/changing the translations over time, and found that they indeed are (presumably as they improve their internal models, which aren't versioned and isn't exposed in a changelog anywhere). The majority of translations were different for the same content today compared to 6 months ago.

I don't particularly agree with this approach. Speaking as a power user of Google Translate API, it would be nice to be able to pin to specific version/model and then manually upgrade versions (with a changelog to understand what's changing under the hood).

How about as opposed to working for a generic normal business that isn't trying to play dumb games on the world stage and isn't some garage project that the CEO is incentivized to lie about consistently with the hope that it explodes?

I've worked for two very large (3000ish people) companies and it was great to have a day job that didn't have to become my identity, that understood that work-life balance is a thing, and that didn't pretend that "cool projects" were all that mattered. There isn't really any drama, there's no internal teams chats badmouthing management for a fake political stance (instead, these companies genuinely hire diversely, because those people are talented and perfectly capable of doing that job), and nobody is claiming my employer is the boogeyman. Neither company required me to pretend I wasn't working on blatantly immoral things that clearly make the world worse, and neither company has any intention of letting anyone go, because we didn't play cargo cult follow the leader blitzscaling during the pandemic in order to keep a death grip on the hiring market. This is despite one of those companies literally being in Silicon Valley

We call that sprinkling. If it's a male cat that's not fixed, that's when they actually spray.

The biscuits/kneading usually come first, then the sprinkling starts when the back legs start coming up and the tail starts vibrating.

If it's something he likes, like the fridge, no biscuits get made, it's straight to sprinkling for a few seconds to just make sure it's still his.

Oh and the wiping of gums on literally everything, most importantly every cardboard box in the house.
