Because money is not the only thing we gain by working. And few people optimise 100% for money. People work jobs for status, friends, pride, social good, stimulation, etcetera.

I have friends who change between different types of jobs, and their reasons are often surprising.
If you think it's bad now it means you don't remember how it used to be, because it was a lot worse.
How did you come up with the name "Barco"?
No, this is not true.

There are:

1) technical limitations - even high end color printers today, have problems with reproducing various shades of brown, which is what almost all Black people in the USA at least, are (there are a few people with very dark skin which is more truly black).

If you want a torture test for a color printer, take a photo of a brown/beige wall with a medium brown sofa in front of it, lit by a single light source from one side. The range of brown colors will be very tough to produce properly.

2) tuning limitations, often of the photographer - you can look at black and white photos from even the 1940s for instance of musicians and the black musicians are exposed and developed properly. See for instance the first photo here: https://unblinkingeye.com/Articles/Harvey/harvey.html or an image search for "1940s jazz musicians"

The school photographer that the person mentioned in the article just didn't know how to adjust the exposure properly; they likely set up a distance from the camera, with a set amount of flash, set the same exposure for that school like they did for the 20 others they were going to, and popped off all the photos at the exact same settings.

Whenever you see an article about someone complaining about "privileged photographic chemical processes" -- check to see if the author of the article ever talked to an actual color scientist.

Note: there are some changes in the chemistry to allow for tinting - but that is a bias that can be overcome quite easily if photographing people who are of a different ethnicity.
The closing paragraph on your link that heavily cites the Cochrane Library meta-analysis:

“After all masking and public health measures stopped SARS-1 in its tracks in Toronto, I would view the Cochrane Library meta-analysis findings with a large degree of skepticism.”

and buried within:

“Meta-analysis is a less than optimal methodology to apply to the issue of masking. Almost all included studies varied widely in their methodology, since it is very hard to ethically have a non-masking control group.”

> Do you still wear a mask? You probably don't,

Flew on a plane earlier this year and I definitely did.

Also always still wear masks in actual healthcare settings or wherever else that I'm asked.

Asking for proof of efficacy in the middle of a pandemic when millions of people are dying is also really weird. My brain might be strange, but it makes me imagine a solider asking for proof of efficacy of covering fire in a war or something like that (and our hospitals definitely turned into a warzone in the middle of the pandemic). Its a temporary restriction to deal with an active threat.
I don’t think the problem is Google being the best at search. The problem is that you cannot possibly have your user or customer’s best interest at heart when you own the most dominant browser and smartphone os by market share AND when you’re a search engine and ad exchange. Owning those lower level parts of the stack (os and browser), which are network effects loaded, is the anti-competitive piece.

Google as a default to other browsers doesn’t bother me. It’s the being the ad broker, the exchange, the browser, the os and the search engine that are problematic. They have demonstrated over two decades that they cannot protect the interests of either their users or the ad buyers. Disabling cookies is essentially meaningless when you’re forced to sign into your browser or os. Absolutely no ad exchange can act in the interest of their users’ privacy when they have a browser or os that mandates you to sign in. And yes, even ad buyers get screwed by Google’s exchange (Google’s real customers). There are many fraudulent publishers that stack ads but get paid out for false impressions, Google still collects on fake impressions and has little interest in decreasing the fraud since they have a 30% take on the impressions.

The ideal outcome is that chrome is spun off, android is spun off, and the ad exchange is spun off. Google can keep its suite of productivity tools and search engine and run ad words. That’s a completely reasonable and still extremely valuable business that is highly defensible. I think their interests can align with their users and customers in that scenario. As it is right now, I don’t think you can have the business model they have and not have serious conflicts of interest with users and advertisers.
Bundling IE was anticompetitive for the same reason bundling Teams now is anticompetitive. They (= Microsoft) deserved to lose that case (as they deserve to lose a similar case about Teams). This is not the same.

Notably the claim is being made that the search market is being monopolized, not that there is a bundle at issue. If the government thinks there’s a bundle here they can make that claim.
At a hefty 3.5T / 7,000 lbs, the Rivians* aren't much lighter than an E-Hummer (4.5T / 9,000 lbs).

Isn't road wear non-linear, with heavy vehicles doing disproportionate damage compared to lighter ones?

Ever noticed how the trucker lanes on the highway are the first to get potholes?

The taxpayers shouldn't be forced to subsidize luxury toys. Let the owners pay a fair amount relative to the strain they're adding to the system (and FWIW, I'm saying this as someone who's immediate family members [plural] own Rivians).

* I was surprised to learn the gross weight of a Rivian the other night at dinner while peeking at a relative's car registration documents on the kitchen counter :p

I think you've hit the nail on the head here with the illusion of choice in some games it really feels like the story is on rails and your character had very little agency. Mass Effect series in particular I think is to blame for this the series became incredibly popular but the actual role playing elements were not really there - these games had a Hero/Villain slider and every conversation had basically 3 dialogue options, the edgy sarcastic reply, the goody two shoes reply or the neutral reply. You would arrive at same place on dialogue tree. The story proceeded the same way regardless of how you chose to act. Because of how popular Mass Effect was I think it had a warping effect on the genre.

Voice acting as well is another key thing I think easy to overlook but it helps a lot with the immersion and getting invested in the world. Pathfinder Wrath of Righteous was a fun game but lack of voice acting made it a slog to get through there were what felt like paragraphs of text to read through constantly. By mid way through the game I found myself skipping over a lot of it. Imagine if tabletop roleplaying the DM handed you a stack of paper to read every conversation instead of narrating what was happening - that was kind of how I felt.
OMG I needed this hard laugh in my evening. Thanks to whoever made this.
What I'm taking away from the comment section is that if you have trouble replicating an experiment, you should take advantage of Cunningham's law: instead of having your pleads for help ignored by some highly demotivated PhD's posing as your thesis advisors, instead post a rant about your failure on HN and have those same advisors give you a snarky reply with how to do it correctly ( you even get references to correcting literature!)

Ignoring the differences between LK-99 and the levitating frog is foolish. 1. The diamagnetism of LK-99 is more than ten thousand times that of the frog; 2. LK-99 only exhibits one-dimensional diamagnetism, whereas the frog has three-dimensional diamagnetism.

Wrong, the first leg will be complete in 2027. It takes some time because 90% of it is underground.

Yes, it's not completed yet, but it doesn't matter: it's virtually guaranteed to be profitable, just because the current shinkansen are.
America has income taxes, sales taxes, gasoline taxes, property taxes, corporate taxes, I could go on.

And clearly taxes that fund roads are soon going to need to be completely revised, since they can't all come from gas anymore.

Whatever the gas tax is replaced/supplemented with, I would be surprised if it doesn't take into account vehicle weight, since the whole point is to fund road maintenance. And remember that road tolls roads already take weight/wheels into account, so there's plenty of precedent.

Heck, NYC is implementing congestion taxes now, if we want to talk about the possibility of new taxes. Nothing "DOA" about it.
So, under this political hypothesis, how do you explain the many (popular) toll roads currently in the USA that charge higher prices for heavier vehicles? Does that not constitute acceptance of a similar type of taxation?
The problem is that the alternative isn’t working either. Americas infrastructure trajectory is highly unsustainable even without decimating the gas tax. Eventually something gives. Lately it’s been bridges.
I agree that joke is perhaps the wrong word, but I saw it as the topic of a few memes relating to ancestry.

DNA is also only part of the story when it comes to ancenstry, I'd argue it's probably the least important part unless you're talking about physical features or genetic disposition. I can see it being entirely possible that a great grandparent grew up on a reservation, learned all the customs etc. but was not born of native American parents.

As you mention as well, being adopted etc. isn't uncommon. It doesn't mean you can't identify strongly with the culture of your parents just because you didn't get any of their genes.

>explore alternative and novel avenues for computing

Ok... lemme take you down a rabbit hole.... imagine an FPGA, but with no routing hardware what so ever... just a vast sea of LUT (Look Up Tables) base cells with 4 bits of input and output, from each of its neighbors. A latch on the inputs is clocked like a chessboard... all of the white, then all of the black... this slows down processing, but completely removes timing issues.

Properly programmed, a large fraction of all the LUTs could be doing computation on every clock cycle. Imagine a 1024x1024 grid of these.... you could throw inputs in one side of the array, and get outputs every clock cycle, as everything is pipelined.

Programming.... no coherent ideas about that... I have some, involving working backwards from the output.

Lets assume 1024x1024, 100 Mhz clocking, and a FP16 taking 24x24 cells... you could have 42x42 computes on each and every clock cycle, about 175 Billion FP16 ops/second... for something that takes up the same space as 64 megabytes of static ram. Bear in mind, that's being very conservative without optimizations.

At present, I can simulate that 1024x1024 grid at about 37 Hz on my desktop.[1]

Essentially none of the issues you cite are antitrust issues. You could be right or wrong on the merits but they won’t be part of this case about the monopolization of the search market.

The Unexpected Flight of Readyaog.com: A Domain’s Takeoff with ChatGPT
Strange they skipped the step of 1) taxing cars which cause more injuries per mile, 2) taxing resources (including externality cost) so that if you use more, you pay more.

Instead they are taxing a pretty bad proxy for those actual policy goals.

i.e. this incentivizes companies to reduce weight rather than add safety measures, and to use light materials regardless of if they cause more environmental damage. Hypothetical example: carmakers might use more aluminum & titanium, which may cause lots of harm to produce, rather than iron.

Just tax the thing you don't like: pollution & using resources you want to control distribution of.

Wired has really fallen. It's like they don't understand markets or incentives at all. Also - isn't tesla one of the safest cars on the road per mile? So it's really inane to write a hit piece on their alleged safety without say actually looking at their safety results
Then why were successive American President so adamantly opposed to Russia selling gas to Germany?
Why would they care?
You know there's a lot of other stuff around that would have problems with huge multi-tesla fields, right? Even levitating someone with iron attached to various points on a full body rope access harness would require consideration of the wiring in the walls.
That would mean that slavery was the purpose of denying them the information, not the other way around.

Nobody said or thought "let's enslave these people in order to deny them information about their ancestry" or "let's enslave persons of African descent in order to keep them ignorant".

The chain of purposes is "I don't want to do this shit work, nor do I want to pay anybody else to do it" therefore "I'll force somebody else to do it for free" therefore "I'll keep them as ignorant as possible to make it harder for them to resist".
Vehicle mileage is taxed at the pump and at the charging station. The material is taxed at sale. Charging an excess tax is just. . . In excess.

The pedestrian crash problem has more to do with our terrible alternative transportation traffic mixing. If the US took a more serious approach for bike lanes and pedestrian accessible infrastructure, the injury rate would decrease. Heavy vehicles is not a new problem. Look at gross vehicle weights of cars and light trucks before 1980.

Everyone is using Mastercard, Visa etc. It is not obvious most of the time but numerous places add a merchant fee without you knowing. The $4.50 coffee you purchase costs more as they place a 1% (?) fee on top of the price. Also, when I do need cash, I am finding it harder and harder to find a bank ATM as the banks are closing branches everywhere. The 3rd party ATM's are everywhere but you get stung with a $2 fee (at a minimum).
Having recently shopped for an EV, I did find that there are a lot more options in the US if you’re looking for larger vehicles. It’s a shame because many smaller models exist abroad, they just don’t want to bring them here (e.g. the VW ID.3).

What’s also funny is in many parts of Europe, their idea of a “small” car seems to be very different from ours. I’ve heard people there classify cars like the Honda CRV or the VW ID.4 as “big”.
That is also not accurate. Clients query both the A and AAAA records simultaneously up front, sort the replies according to the RFC3484/6724 rules, and then try each address in turn.

The rules are somewhat involved but they roughly boil down to "sort v6 addresses first if the client has a non-ULA v6 address, otherwise sort v4 first". However, note that the very first rule in 6177 is "avoid unusable destinations" so not having a route to an IP may factor in to the sorting.

A machine with no v6 will(/may) still query AAAA records, but it will attempt to connect to any A records first before trying any AAAA records. (This sometimes exhibits as people seeing software like apt-get report connection failures to v6 addresses and then blaming v6 for it, even though the problem is that they only have v4 and the v4 is broken.)
It really, truly is at least in my part of the USA. Most drivers who kill people and aren’t found to be drunk will never see the inside of a prison.

Taxes and fees just let the wealthy do whatever they want, while putting the less-wealthy at even further disadvantage.

If road damage grows exponentially rather than linearly with weight, then so should the taxes. Nothing excess about it, it's just proportional.

I dunno if it makes sense to create a bizarre kind of carbon tax that applies to that one specific scenario. But vehicles that are too large or two heavy should have some stricter zoning constraints.

They aren't safe everywhere, and they create some strong traffic degradation.

I've been creating bitcoin treasure hunts across the US and UK for the past year. I loaded sats onto three opendimes (for exact amounts, see below), and then I hid them. Anyone can find them using the clues on the website. The clues cost 1000 sats each and are paid for via lighting (Wallet of Satoshi). The sats you spend on clues are sent to the opendime treasure wallet. That means that when someone buys a clue, the value of the treasure increases. The more people who buy clues, the more the treasure will be worth.

One opendime is currently somewhere in Texas and is valued at 325,073 sats. (1NGzdi6CYXghM7ADPxs4A2dCs769ZXcHcu)

Another is in Washington (state) and is valued at 100,000 sats. (1Hj4XJ7z71abPBW7uCkJu8HPZJ25ijC583)

The third opendime is somewhere in London and is currently valued at 100,000 sats. (1Hj4XJ7z71abPBW7uCkJu8HPZJ25ijC583)

Those are the basic mechanics. I love treasure hunting and this is a labor of love. I'm doing this for fun. I make no money off of this project at the moment.

Happy hunting!
This article is incorrect, at least based on times i've looked into wear and tear on the road in the past.

4.5 tons over two axles is approximately 25 times the damage of a sedan with 1 ton of weight on each axle. But that's not the same as a semi truck dealing 625 times as much damage as the sedan, or nearly 25 times as much damage as the Hummer EV. Given it costs over $100,000, I don't see 25x as many Hummer EVs hitting the road than big rigs in any given year.

> Consider a standard sedan with two axles and a total weight of 2 tons. Assuming an even distribution, each of its axles would bear the weight of 1 ton. Now consider a semitruck with eight axles and a weight of 40 tons -- each of its axles would weigh 5 tons. The relative damage done by each axle of the truck can be calculated with the following equation, and comes out to 625 times the damage done by each axel of the sedan.

> Considering that the truck has eight axles and the sedan has two, the relative damage caused by the entire semitruck would be 625 x (8/2) -- 2,500 times that of the sedan.

> “The damage due to cars, for practical purposes, when we are designing pavements, is basically zero. It’s not actually zero, but it’s so much smaller -- orders of magnitude smaller -- that we don’t even bother with them,” said Karim Chatti, a civil engineer from Michigan State University in East Lansing.

Not the same for bridges though:

> In reality, the relationship is more complicated. For instance, adding extra axles increases the total weight of the vehicle, making it more damaging, especially to bridges, where the total weight instead of axle weight is the main concern.
