Why doesn't UPS/FedEx have Parcel Locker as a delivery option?
I mean there is obviously the default reason being they haven't updated the app yet but parcel lockers have been a thing for a while now. Putting on our PM hat for a second, is there a hidden reason for them not adding it to the app/web as a delivery option? it's all stuff like (front door which could mean front of building or front of apt, back door etc).

Could it just be a liabiity thing? Does delivering it to a locker count as someone having signed for it or not? and if no maybe thats why. Or a time issue. Might add 2-3 mins per delivery.

I generally like embracing the new & novel, leaving the door open. But also I can easily see: places without gates are subject to tragedy of the commons.

Cultures & societies need some ability to uphold themselves, their distinctions & their norms. At least when newcomers came in waves (pre AOL era), there was some ability to prepare & make fast the ship, as September arrived. But having eternal flux, forever having new people come in who have no barriers, no rules, no culturation is a hard situation.

What do you see as the positive forces to keep things together? How do we keep the valuable community together & feeling cohesive, feeling a sense of community, under forever hard conditions? In this view, it's not about gatekeeping (an easy slur to levy imo), it's a real question, a real challenge; how does anything endure, how do we curate value & sense, when flux & incursion is the only constant?
Your response below did not address the substance of my argument. I linked to primary sources, people interested in this discussion can go read them and come to their own conclusions.

Can't speak for every avenue, but I can definitely say this is not happening with property insurance. The claim amounts are sometimes big enough that it warrants additional review or subrogation.
7 or so years ago I bought an old brownie camera and I found a roll of film in it. Still have no idea what's on it. I read that I shouldnt expose it to any light.
I've researched it already.

Patients are triaged for medical care, it's always been that way - it's based on medical need, with the sickest treated first, and those who are less sick wait.

The new system now prioritized people based on race. You could be sicker than someone else, but if you're the wrong race, you wait.

This doesn't "even up" anything. It penalizes people for being the wrong race.

Blogs are dead but YouTube is thriving. I can find endless high quality content on basically any topic. Even compared to 10 years ago it’s so much better today.

I don’t think there has ever been a better time to learn on the internet than today.

I prefix my aliases with letter combinations that are unlikely to appear as first letters of words and variable names like kk, zz, qq. For example, qqme is my email signature.

I wish OP's tool suggested aliases for longer phrases than what I saw in the readme. I heard TextExpander for MacOs does that but I am not a Mac user.
I do something similar using BeefText. A few long words I set with no modification others or entire phrases I precede with a ` backtick. If no backtick it can quickly become unmanagable.

The attempted conversion of gatekeeping into a slur (it's not - it simply refers to upholding standards) is in fact an attack on the concept of tradition in general.

There are a lot of people who simply don't respect the concept of tradition or the idea that something can be time tested. They feel that everything can simply be reasoned from first principles, which is tempting (particularly when young) but misguided.

What nuclear taboo? I think hiroshima and nagasaki ended any hope for a nuclear taboo.

Numerical simulation of aircraft is pretty straightforward. The hard part is going from the inertial frame into the aircraft's frame of reference, and back again. Once that part is down, the main procedure is to find the gravity vector in the body frame, calculate thrust, lift and drag vectors in the body frame, calculate any torques, sum everything, and then convert back into the inertial frame to do the numerical integration step. From memory, torques are the hardest part, since you need to work with either the time derivative of the quaternion, or the time derivative of the rotation matrix. But if you stick to standard coordinate frame conventions, it's just applying a formula.

The only difference between fixed wing and multirotors is the different models for forces in the body frame. A fixed wing aircraft would use an aerodynamic model of whatever complexity you like, and a model for the prop. A multirotor would use multiple prop models, and a drag model for the body. Most models for these things are pretty well defined, but you can choose just about anything that "fits" so long as you can justify it. And you can use the same basic setup for any aircraft (and indeed any robot) with a bit of forethought. The data part is mostly specifying things like, say, damping coefficients that you would then want to measure.

The dynamics are not the difficult part of simulating aircraft for RL, it's actually the rest of the environment. E.g. navigation tasks require you to build a navigable environment around your physics model, and specify things like reward functions.
It sounds like a good thing!

Vaccines are made to target a specific or a specific set of pathogens.

The background states that when you gain immunity to the target pathogens, that’s called “antigen-specific adaptive immunity.” When you gain immunity to pathogens similar to, but not, the target, that’s called “cross-protective immunity.” Sometimes, vaccines provide “beneficial off-target (heterologous) effects that alter immune responses to, and protect against, unrelated infections.” It has never been tested if mRNA vaccines also show a similar benefit.

So the study has concluded that children who received the BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine showed increased immune response to pathogens unrelated to COVID-19. Meaning that when children take this vaccine, they are less likely to die from other pathogens too! Which sounds pretty awesome.
for me philosophically code is a liability. Every line of code I write is a liability for me and future generations. So I try as hard as I can to not write code at all so it takes me quite a long time to decide to write code. I see it like that in the places I work too, I get paid to decide when it makes sense to write code eg introduce liability to the business
You did cross into personal attack. That's why I asked you not to do that.
The way homelessness has been tackled in Finland is by offering free housing, no string attached, to homeless people.

I think there is a culture of "but people need to deserve it", and I guess because housing is so expensive in San Francisco it might seem like it's unfair that homeless people get free housing whereas someone with a job needs to spend 50% of their pay in housing. But if you want the problem to be solved, this seems to be way to go about it.

Of course, governments need to also provide programs for reinsertion and rehabilitation, but people need the stability while they recover which is a process that will be full of ups and downs. For these people any barrier might be too high. So I think the rest of us need to come to terms with "giving away free stuff", that's just what works.

Free housing for the homeless, no strings attached.
It doesn’t sound like these are like any other expense though. Comcast doesn’t control them.

> Another money-saving trick I know of in insurance is to severely downsize the claims department. It's lawfully mandatory to process claims, but I'm not sure if there's a statute on how long to process them.

P&C companies have mandatory requirements for how long it takes to handle claims. During catastrophic events, those timelines are usually extended: because it can be dangerous and there are lots of claims.

Adjusters want to get paid and they don't get paid until the claim gets closed. So it behooves them to work quickly.

In my experience going from 3.5 and 4 is going from generally useless novetly to indispensible team member. Yes it gets things wrong, so do I! My experience of working with GPT4 (except for a couple of weeks back when they made some change that made it SUPER dumb from which they seem to have recovered now) is that it's a bit like having a mid-level staff member that understands instructions really well, works almost instantly and sometimes makes mistakes.
I still find Google to be fine but I recently I was searching for an exact phrase that I knew was on a website and got nothing. I tried DuckDuckGo and got the one exact page that I was looking for.
There have been recent discussions about Google pruning their indexes and I think that might be part of it - I've noticed in Google Webmaster Tools for some of personal sites that previously indexed pages have become unindexed with no given reason.

> Toshiba washing machine salesman discovered that washing clothes was less trouble for Japanese women than the task of preparing three rice-based meals a day. When the salesman proposed the idea of an automatic rice cooker to an engineer, who did not know how to cook rice, the engineer’s wife Fumiko Minami set herself to the task—developing the model still at the base of the appliance almost a century later.

> In 1945, while war-torn Japan faced years of rebuilding, an engineer named Masaru Ibuka opened a radio workshop ...Ibuka wrote down the words that would become iconic to the company that in 1958 would become known as Sony: “Purpose of incorporation: Creating an ideal workplace, free, dynamic, joyous.” ... Ibuka’s engineers lived in post-war Japan. Their payment for fixing radios often partly consisted of uncooked rice. This led to the fledgling company’s very first invention. Instead of a sleek radio, it was an electric rice cooker.

Try my AI based domain name generator
Hi, guys! I've created a free AI based domain name generator.

Usually I get annoyed by domain names before my own site goes live. The domain names I can think of are either very expensive or already registered, and I always end up choosing a domain name that doesn't satisfy me as much. So I developed an AI based domain name auto-generator, where you need to tell it what your website is for, and it automatically generates 10 candidate domain names. Then you can freely switch the domain suffix, and after clicking on it, it's easy to find out if the domain name is available and what price it is. So all you have to do is merely describe your website and then check if the domain is available for purchase. It's as simple as that and I hope it will be useful for you!

Old lenses were either pinholes or very large because the emulsions were so slow they needed a lot of light to gain exposure.

My dad collected old cameras, the pinhole ones would work but were a complete pain for anything that wasn't a still-life, for a Daguerreotype you had to sit still for a very long time but it did work if you were patient enough. The lens based cameras did a better job, and also could make Daguerreotypes in a much shorter time.

Making these is not without danger: you sensitize the copper silver coated plate (which you apply using silver nitrate) with iodine and you develop it using - no kidding - mercury vapors. I wonder if the very large bottle of Mercury that he had is still sitting in the basement there. I also remember playing with the iodine crystals that had migrated through the double walls of glass that they were supposedly contained in...
It's an interesting edge case. It's pretty clearly completely legal in the USA, though the content is grossly offensive. Some of the individual posts are almost certainly defamatory, but §230 shields the site itself from that liability (though not the posters).

Yeah I mean, my parents have a standing offer to give me $10k for a house purchase. I'm thankful, but it's like 1% of the price + fees in my high cost housing market.

I think this is a super real & super pertinent topic. But I'd like some threshold here, something more than "get family money."

I'm biased but if you're getting a couple percent of the cost, it's not the same. I wouldn't be surprised if like 20% of home buyers under 30 get 20% or more of the cost. That'd be a bit more calibrated, would tell us something much more real.
