I just can't fathom how a business would not care about the loss of revenue from making it THIS hard for the customers to pay.

Is it possible that the parking prices in the city of the author are legally capped and are not reflecting actual demand? This would mean that the parking lot is basically filled every day anyways, and the business doesn't see any ways to increase revenue by improving satisfaction.
I was looking for the explanation about how this grouping is like the OSI model, but found none...

Also, I think where OP uses "principal" they mean "principle".

The whole article reads as an advertorial for Pulumi. :|

OP also never bothers to ask themselves questions like "what if I'm wrong?" or "what to do with this obvious claim that doesn't add up?".

For example: why is "Data" layer below "Compute"? -- that's the kind of question that's never addressed by OP. I mean, most people in the industry wouldn't think about this as being layers, and definitely not being one on top of the other. To convince someone you need to give a very solid argument here... but there's nothing there...
Well it's clearly nonsense that some parking lots required having a smartphone with some data available in the data plan.

Still I was just wondering about the author of the parent post that reported that he didn't have a cell phone.
I'm watching this storm with interest, but I'm a little bit skeptical due to all the extreme language that the NWS forecast used around the storm in January February of this year, which ended up being basically a nothing Burger.

Iraq is an artificial country created by western powers.

Kurdistan (parts of Turkey, Syria, Iraq, Iran) should probably be a sovereign country, separate from Iraq.

Sunnis and Shiites hated their swap of power roles after the 2003 invasion. Those who were elected to government post-2003 were too concerned with punishing the others rather than unifying the country.

Also, people lose their minds when basic security is lacking and the policy of debaathification in post-2003 turned out to create a brain drain from government, military, police, and utilities.

Sometimes I wonder if Iraq’s instability was caused by the US’s migration to high tech military, which reduces the need to have 5x the numbers of soldiers on the ground as happened in Japan and Germany.
this kind of stuff makes we wish we had well organised data, grammars, categorised training sets for image classifiers, and other software accessible data to work on these problems.

academia fails somewhat here, as does industry... and amateurs. not sure who does well lol... but im sure we can do better :)
It can be toggled on and off in the pull down menu, wherever you are. It also detects when something else is playing and can lower the volume to a configurable level (or turn off completely). Other than that I can’t think of any, but I like it well enough that I don’t use an app. I especially like the rain sound, which also happens to drown out voices very well when combined with ANC.
frequency analysis is probably a natural first step here.
You’re a smart guy, figure it out.
That's how it works in Scandinavia.
This is actually how New England handles toll roads. (Not parking.)

You have to write a law with it that says "rental car company's can't charge a junk fee of $25/day" or whatever. (Which is roughly what we were charged the last time we accidentally — there wasn't a toll booth! — took a rental through a toll. $25 from the rental car company for a $1 toll. We own an EZ pass now to avoid this very problem.)
Hehe --- for sure, I'll grow up one day

I'm so glad you're writing about your last experiences here, Jake. We seldom get a chance to really be present with someone so thoughtful, so articulate, so connected to their human experience, at the end of their lives; much less have it recorded for posterity. I'm sorry you are suffering so much, and to me it's truly amazing that you have the will (or discipline or whatever it is) to continue to pump out this "work" in the middle of it all. It's having a profound effect on me and I wanted to make sure you had a chance to know that while you're still alive to hear it. Thank you.

Yes, I do that one. I work with small team that is excited about the space. Each team member has opportunity (and obligation) to interact with clients. The relationships are great. The money is less than at $BigCo but still above median for the area. Actively working against enshittification -- but I still feel it's a futile battle.

That said, I have trouble imagining anyone saying “just 6 inches of rain and 50 - 70 MPH sustained wind speeds”. The low end of tropical storms aren’t that bad but it covers a wide range.

I must invoke spirit mentor grug (https://grugbrain.dev/) and say: complexity very, very bad.
You're calling them "total rats", yet you say that you haven't read the article and only glanced at it. How is that a basis for making such a bold claim?

To quote you further, you claimed they were "snitching" and that "god i hate petty small town people".

Perhaps these could be more valid claims about some truly trivial squabble, but the woman in question has previously been driving while DUI (driving under the influence; usually alcohol in America, since you claim to be a foreigner and may have different legal terminology in your nation), severely endangering the lives of others as is well-established by decades of studies on the increased risks of accidents (especially lethal ones) by drivers who are intoxicated on alcohol.

Moreover, in America DUI laws are (in this writer's opinion) extremely relaxed. One minor DUI with nobody harmed absolutely does not stop you from getting a license -- the penalty for kansas is 30 days minimum and needing to use a special device to test one's breath's alcohol levels before starting their car.

Even if she got a lengthy suspension, which I haven't deeply researched into (though by your own admission, neither did you), she made the choice to endanger others' lives significantly and would have then had potentially up to 15 (or let's say 14, to presuppose a year of suspension) years to attempt to get a valid license, an inexpensive process.

Instead, she kept driving without a license, and with a proven history of making poor decisions where other peoples' safety and rights to life are involved. Might she also have lacked insurance? Then in the event she caused any crashes or accidents, the outcomes could be even harder upon the victim.

Now, some of these issues reflect deep systemic problems with American justice, law, poverty, education, and public transportation / city planning. However, this immediate article and situation is not something so simple or vulgar as "total rat(s)" or "snitching", and I'd even beg the question of if a situation is really "snitching" when it may be actually probing if the police are suddenly complict in ignoring a crime they might be happy to use against someone else once it suits them.

Likewise, I believe you're greatly lowering the quality of dialogue on hackernews by this sort of impulsive response. If I've gotten anything wrong, I'd be happy for you to specify, but what you've written only serves to confuse others about the truth. I may be wrong about such a developing story too, but please consider that I've attempted to broadly make my claims search-able or referencing specific parts of things you or the newspaper have said.

P.S. I'm well aware nobody (else) is likely to read this, but decided I'd spend 20 minutes writing on the subject in case of other readers like myself who tend to go over old hackernews comments looking for insights on events that may have been ignored by corporate or mainstream media reporting.

Or, TL;DR
There appears to be nothing of substance to these claims, move along.
Honestly - as someone who did their primary and instrument using steam gauges, and now mostly flies a Cirrus Perspective+ system (G1000 with some extra's), you'll get up to speed in less than a few hours of digging through the manual and playing in the SIM.

After about 10 or so hours, you'll start finding so many small things that make life infinitely easier for single-pilot ops that it's ridiculous we can do x or y with so little effort.

Running lean of peak, having a TOD, programming in our steps, hitting the approach button and just letting the plane fly is black magic at times. There's no going back for me at this rate, especially when I just want to go places. I've got a single-seat Yak for when I truly want to "fly"!
Yeah and I'm surprised at the lack of "exit from parenthood" it's an exit that I dread even though I've just begun the journey. It seems like a poorly thought out piece to have skipped one of the core human experiences.
TrueNAS? You can manage the volumes with a web UI. It has a thing you can enable for SMB shares that let you see the previous versions of files on Windows. Or perhaps I don't understand what you're after.
You did not specify a timeline. The book was written in 1984, BSD existed then and the only other UNIX was AT&T. Linux was not even a dream in 1984.
Yes, the same Ukraine that is still actively at war for its existence after being invaded by a nuclear superpower. The capital is still being bombed, the democratically elected leadership is still under threat of assassination, so many of those infringements upon freedom are actually reasonable.
All of the language is meticulously described on scholarly pieces (see https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=rong...), what is it exactly you seem to be looking for?

It's not a matter of data not being available, it's a matter of people not putting the work in. A bit like open source.

Some people would still think "it's rubber so it doesn't conduct electricity so I'm fine messing with this TV".

But yeah CRTs are now so rare that I agree that it's very very unlikely for someone without much knowledge to tinker with them. You have to be really an enthusiast to even still own one let alone try to repair one instead of picking up a nice cheap flatpanel.

Personally I'd forgo the gloves (real protective ones are so clumsy it's hard to really do something productive with them) and make sure the caps are fully discharged. Though generally I'd steer clear from this stuff as I know I don't understand it well enough. I came up in electronics during the final years of CRTs so as my knowledge grew they became deprecated and I never really got the full grasp of them.

Yes, but the Afghan "elite" did not commit to the reconstruction plan, they just behaved like to drain as much money as possible to their clans. Nothing serious was ever built and everything collapsed as soon as the withdrawal started.
Does make one think how amazing the UI on cash and coins can be.

My city similarly has a city-wide app that runs the parking meters that is chronically bad and clunky. Even has a bug where no matter how long a duration one picks, it only puts 30 minutes parking on, while charging a 20p service charge every time one pays for parking. The only real option is to keep using it every 30 minutes, and paying the extra 20p every time. It’s just shockingly, laughably, horrendously bad badness.
“Do this, or we’ll nuke you / let the soviets invade”

-e-

Less flippantly, those countries gave it their all and lost. In most other places, the real struggle started after the government was toppled.
That's easy and cheap per volume: Drill a small hole into a mountain. Add a nuke.

It's not for water suitable for consumption, but it doesn't have to be.
If we have good public transit, people can just walk and not have to worry about parking, and the space that's formerly for parking cars can be used for something else.
To be honest I do wonder if my fixation with local development is even justifiable. Looking around at projects and documentation I do get the sense that local dev is not a priority, and maybe that isn’t a bad thing. Amazing projects exist. Perhaps other game devs are more resourceful than I am and simply build, working around limitations.

I do enjoy learning and this constraint requires I deeply learn. However there is an opportunity cost.
Yeah, they could definitely do with some slimmer and more contoured options, so much of it is very "big and blocky" by default :(
I agree with you that, logically, it should be the case that "many other EU countries are a lot more strict about letting you in without a degree then the UK, especially if higher education is 100% free". However, my experience as a British person (admittedly, sample size of N=1 participants) is the polar opposite.

During the pandemic, I was offered (by a fellow contributor to an open source project) a pretty high-flying role in a large semiconductor company. It would be remote-working for a technical department which was based in Germany. Ultimately, though, I couldn't be employed because the British HR department of the company had a policy of 'no degree, no job'!
Ask HN: What is your vision about a digital assistant with some ML/DL/NLP?
When I think of AI-enabled digital assistant, I can foresee the following possibilities and workings(this is based on what I know I can develop):

0. Open source and self hosted.

1. The main crux of the whole system is a auto populating database with an intelligent retrieval system.

1. You will have a main server at one location, in this case, let's say your house.

2. This system has to have enough storage, say around 2TB.

3. Whatever you do throughout the day in your devices that you want to keep a log of or want to remember like blogs or papers you read, videos you watch, songs you listen to, the code that you type, or the documents that you type, etc etc will be saved in that server.

4. This can be achieved by something similar to either a screen reader or some other form of capture methodology.

5. These will be auto-categorised based on words present with some added context and then chunked and saved as vectors for similarity search.

6. Now when you are doing something, you can quickly check if you have previously encountered something similar.

7. The server can be connected to any device with a client, with something like Tailscale.

8. The actual client can be a simple search results page or some sort of chat.

9. When you are doing something that has a previous related entry, when the client will try to save this new items, you can request it to show previous entries.

This idea came to me a few hours back. A youtube video popped in my recommendations about a guy trying all the various kinds of sushi. That made me think, even if I watch this video, and someday I go to a sushi place, I will likely forget that I had ever watched such a video, let alone remembering what the various kinds of sushi are. Some AI assistant like the one I have mentioned above can come in handy, as when I book the reservation, or get in the restaurant, I can get a notification about a previous entry in my database about this video and read a 1 min summary of it.

With clever ways to structure the data coming in, I think this can also be used in more ways than just storing and retrieving a day to day log.

What do you guys think of such a tool, and what would you change or add to it?
From the article: ...a conviction would be beside the point. The disqualification clause operates independently of any such criminal proceedings and, indeed, also independently of impeachment proceedings and of congressional legislation. The clause was designed to operate directly and immediately upon those who betray their oaths to the Constitution, whether by taking up arms to overturn our government or by waging war on our government by attempting to overturn a presidential election through a bloodless coup.

I’ve heard that lidar is somewhat unfavorable because it’s so susceptible to becoming useless due to misalignments from something as simple as a pothole.

I don't understand the thing about church bells, since that's still a thing. It's not obnoxious in modern life IMO. This article seems to try to make a point but... I don't see it. Where there's people there's noises, that's universal.
I mean the population and therefore population density was a fraction of what it is today, so of course it would be quieter.

It’s easy to see what’s wrong with this if you apply it to others.

Did the Soviets really believe in Marxism or did they just want to take over in place of the Tsars? Do the Iranian Mullahs believe in Islam or are they just making up excuses too? Did the Pharoahs believe in their mortuary cult or did they just make that stuff up to con people into stacking up big rocks?

One thing I’ve learned in my time around here is that most people actually do believe what they say they believe and if you listen they will tell you who they are.

The British mostly did believe that their great empire was destined to civilize the world, and the Americans believed they were creating a new Atlantis and that what they were doing to the natives wasn’t actually as bad as it was. They thought they were bringing them the light and saving their souls. Made perfect sense to them at the time given their beliefs. Pharaoh really thought a big pile of rocks would make him immortal.

The problem isn’t that we are all sociopaths making up fake motives to justify crimes. Some people do that, but most don’t. The real problem is that a whole lot of what we believe is deeply flawed and we aren’t smart or experienced or objective enough to see it. We get caught up in self reinforcing ideologies and in systems that become ends in themselves. We also get ridden around by our brain stems and driven by emotions and urges that we rationalize so well we con ourselves.

Hence the saying “the road to hell is paved with good intentions.”

Conspiratorial models of history are comforting. It’s more comforting to believe it’s all just evil sociopathy since that suggests that if we can just get good people in there they can give us some kind of utopia. The reality is that if we get good people in there they will fuck up, be corrupted by power, or delude themselves. We know this because we’ve already tried many times.

We are just not that smart.

Most car accidents are not the result of homicidal maniacs trying to run people down. Most of them happen because we are bad at driving cars. We are even worse at setting grand historical visions to create utopias.

This is why the best systems we’ve come up with are full of checks and balances and are designed to be deliberative and cautious. It’s a way of protecting us from ourselves.

Getting back to US foreign policy, the real problem is that while our country’s founders did a good job creating such a system for domestic affairs they left foreign policy under specified. This left it as a domain where “good” people high on their own supply could embark on adventures without appropriate peer review.

Government of all things with its monopoly on force should be as boring and bureaucratic as possible. Adventuring should be allowed in limited consensual domains only.
