It sounds like you might have a case of the 'ai-ai-ai!'s

Take a deep breath, step outside, look around and remind yourself: I am human and still top-dog on this planet.

Be careful, Google cancels all your services if there’s any issue, and if you’re an Android user that makes your phone effectively a paperweight. I don’t think Apple is that bad but I shudder to think of all the dependencies I have on my Apple ID, and how easy it would be to hijack even if you have Yubikeys set on it because they still allow insecure SMS-based password resets vulnerable to SIM-swapping attacks.
> Can you see how some folks would prefer to drive?

Very much so, yes. I agree with the reply comment that you should not have been subjected to that experience. As a 215lbs white male - I don't have those experiences.

I was making fundamentally two points: (1) single occupancy vehicles are a non-scalable transportation solution and (2) I would suspect most people intrinsically would prefer to spend their time while traveling doing something other than driving. It's one of the major selling points for AI cars, that you can do something else while travelling.
That's right- many people (myself included) believe that the subjective experience of consciousness is merely an emergent property of big brains (an epiphenomenon). And even if that does imply the universe is "meaningless", those big brains contain enough space for us to make our own meaning. I'm a nihilist in the universal sense, but a humanist in person.

> PS - Why do you think this is an overkill solution?

Only because my use case is very trivial and does not require most of the features. On the other hand, it did get the job done on the first try so I can't really complain.
Such a voluntary waiver is legal, yes.

Refusing to treat you if you want to keep your rights, less so.

The thing they have you sign is an agreement that you received a notice of their privacy practices (laying out your HIPAA rights). It isn’t a waiver.

Hospitals don’t need a waiver to operate. HIPAA already permits them to share internally, with billers, etc.

We will transform earth to our needs and when the time is right we expand to space. Maybe not with our current biological body, but something different.
It's one of the most common divide in philosophy and morals, and I think nobody is capable of changing their opinion, because this one question is fundamental in how a person sees the world.

Should you punish the children for what the fathers did wrong? Because whoever wronged the people are dead since long. The people who were wronged are dead since long. Do the children inherit the sins or the victimhood of their ancestors? Some say yes. They say to the youth: "Look how bad these people were treated long before you were born! Now it's your responsibility to settle the score and pay back."

Others say no. They say that nobody can be held responsible for the wrongs that other people have done, even if those people were their ancestors, or are considered their ancestors by modern measurements. The question is if somebody is to be seen as an individual and judged as an individual, or seen as a member of some tribe and judged as a member of that tribe.

It's worth to mention that things are usually seen in another way. What we're seeing right now is the end of christian morality, where a victim is held in high regard. This is not common through history or through the world. Once these kind of victim-revering morals don't exist anymore, the attitude will instead be: "Your ancestors were slaves, therefore you deserve to be a slave" or "My ancestors conquered your ancestors, therefore we have the right to treat you as we wish" and such awful things.
How’s that? As far as I can remember, nothing comparable happens in Animal Farm.

Or do you mean ‘1984?’

If it were an Animal Farm situation, google would start out by saying users are allowed to save any links, and then later change their policy to only allow users to save some links.

The main takeaway from Animal Farm is generally understood to be “all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others” - it’s equivocation around the term ‘equal.’ It doesn’t address censorship, or liability, which is the realm that Google’s policy deals with.
Yes, those are all good points. I should have read your reply more carefully.

You posted 89 comments in this thread—that is over the top. We're not here for speedrage flamewars. We're here for thoughtful, curious, respectful conversation. If you can't do that or don't want to, please don't post until you do. The idea on HN is to value quality over quantity—regardless of how wrong others are or you feel they are. I realize several other commenters are also on the wrong side of this tradeoff, but your account has been standing out in this respect.

You have also been repeatedly crossing into flamewar and in some cases egregiously breaking the site guidelines, as you did here.

We ban accounts that post like this, regardless of how right they are or feel they are. If you would please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and not use HN primarily for flamewar and/or ideological battle, we'd appreciate it. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.
> “Most of our board and many of our most senior executives have chosen not to experience Taser devices.”

I can understand younger employees—or maybe those who give a shit about what they’re inflicting on others—being curious about “experiencing Taser devices”.

Making it a cult camaraderie ceremony seems ill-advised.
Also remove parking mandates. No reason to believe that so much parking is the most efficient use of valuable land.
um, why can google read any of this to do the censoring?
DisplayPort cables don't have identification chips inside them. The only way for the machine to know if the cable is capable of running at DP1.4 speed is to try to bring up the link at that speed. The software does correctly hide modes that the endpoints say they cannot support, though that won't help when one endpoint lies.
You wouldn't have had to, just reported the proportions. That would be sufficient.

Please don't respond to a bad comment by breaking the site guidelines yourself. That only makes things worse.

Edit: it looks like you've been posting a lot of flamewar comments too, and not just in this thread. Can you please not? As I explained to the other user above, it's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

You can argue about whether or not this was a reasonable action, but, if it was an unreasonable action, then I think that this is not really a reasonable expectation for mitigation. Presumably, at least some people have lots of links affected.
Sounds like you're one of the idiots

I think the issue is less execs getting tased, but more peer pressuring any and all employees to "ride the lightning" and get tased, lest they be shunned as not being "all in". (similar for getting company logo tattoos as the article mentions.)

I'm increasingly worried by Google's graveyarded products and the impossibility of regaining access to a Google account you've lost access to. (something I saw with my own eyes Apple employees in store could help with when a friend lost access to theirs - very impressive and night and day compared to Google)

I can move my photos to iCloud all I want, but Apple Mail at the end of the day is just a client for email, and I want a non-google email account too.

No, all you overachievers out there, I don't want to self host (in ANY way) my own email server or infrastructure in AWS or whatever, no matter how easy you think it is. I want a reliable email account with stellar human support if I lose access to it. Happy to pay for it if required. What's the best options out there?

EDIT actually I didn't know this but it seems like Apple iCloud does in fact have email as a service as well and not just as a client? I've now created an iCloud email address associated with my Apple account, I think I will use that.
You're right, yours is a very shallow argument.

Unless you can reveal anything about the inner workings of the tenure board, you are taking your impression of a broad organisation and applying it to a specific department, a management structure and a board for which you are ignorant.

Lying about credentials or experience is a bit different from wearing a piece of clothing you arguably find pretty or obviously inconsequential things like saying you eat meat or not
Congrats you just invented shorthand!
Yes, I mean west coast US.
Agreed, the individual records are not specifically secret. The regulations are to prevent unauthorized disclosure and misuse.

Unfortunatly that leaves a lot of leeway. The major EMR vendors are all aggregating patient data in cloud services and taking it across borders to where there is no transparency for what is being done with it. The regulations were written with a 90's understanding of technology.

A more appropriate regulation today would be to create a category of legally privileged PHI that is strictly inadmissable in legal proceedings and with heavy fines for unauthorized use and disclosure. However, I don't see privacy legislation getting any better as the people inside govt and academia absolutely hate privacy as a concept because they are the specific targets of limiting their discretion about whose data they can snoop. We're in an era of institutional capture by people without ideals or principles, and it's probably unwise to expect altruistic public interest policy like 90's-style privacy legislation from any of them anytime soon.

> I want a bidding system for the H1B slots, paid not just once, but yearly by the companies which hire the H1Bs

I want to eliminate the H-1B (and some other non-immigrant economic visa categories, but the H-1B is the most salient) and instead allow would-be immigrants or temporary workers not admitted under any other visa category but not personally disqualified from entry to get an annually renewable paid self-sponsored work-eligible visa (with lower fees for those eligible but on a waitlist in an immigrant visa category) . If employers want to pay for the cost, they can, but the worker’s visa status won’t be dependent on them.
Those sound like captchas for drones to me. We've already started to see that bots can defeat some of those better than humans can.

Decoys are likely the best answer, but not necessarily practical for offensive operations. And given the low cost of drones, likely limited in usefulness anyway.
I hope this will not result in FCC being dismantled or nerfed.
"The guy" is a well known astrophysicist (astrophysicists frequently refer to anything othe than Hydrogen and Helium as "metals").

his article starts out saying early supernovas (very, very early) would be required and the stars would need to be enormous. He cites various estimates of the early universe to support this.
I use a trackball and find it makes me more productive and causes less strain

Most other people use a normal mouse

Since I also have a lot of muscle memory using normal mice, I am able to quickly adjust to working on a new PC

Others struggle when they have to take over my PC and show me something by navigating with my trackball

I am guessing this might be similar -- since OP does have years or muscle memory with normal keyboards anyway to back them up

Pretty sure 90% of the general public could not explain the difference.
What if they were 100% Gelgameks? It's a nonsense question because at any large tech co, there aren't any engineering teams that are 100% women or Black. I don't believe that's a reflection the skills of race or gender lacking, just that there aren't any tech co execs that would feel comfortable with that due to their own bias and overall corporate culture..
It seems like his experience is more similar to mine given his experiences on the topic available on YouTube. Just look here:

https://youtu.be/1Vm_ASm2zfs?t=294

"Stop number two was just as uneventful as stop number one." Once again, plenty of dispensers available, got charging on the first try.

Third stop, also uneventful.

Fourth stop, "this is getting really uneventful now, its like stopping at a gas station."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Vm_ASm2zfs&t=717s

Is this a station with a wait list? Did it fail to charge? No, there were multiple dispensers open without anyone there and it worked on the first try. On his 1,200mi road trip they encountered one dispenser not working but there was another one unused right next to it.

So no, he's not constantly encountering long lines with belligerent people at multiple broken fast chargers, he's pretty much always rolling up to charging locations that are mostly empty and worked on the first try. Technology Connections is not the person to point to trying to showcase how bad charging is in the US. If you're going to paint his experiences as the norm, then I guess most CCS chargers do work fine and there aren't usually lines.

"Less well-known is the all-in corporate culture at Axon, which has tested employees’ commitment and fealty in unusual ways

Shawn Gorman, a lawyer who worked at Axon until 2019, said the company had a high-pressure culture of loyalty, unlike anything he has seen in nearly two decades of practice. “It was truly toxic,” he said."

Axon wants to expand their Arizona campus with residential housing for their employees ... after reading this it sounds like a recipe for disaster.

It's still pretty amazing to me there is interplanetary mass exchange. There are little bits of Earth on Mars, right now.
Dealing with the steep costs of internet services in my country and being an avid podcast listener myself, me and a couple of friends came up with a solution. We developed a website that works as a mirror for users' selected podcast feeds and converts the episodes into opus format, slashing the mobile data consumption that's a real concern for internet access here: https://easypodcasts.live

It's FOSS and free as in beer.
I don't have any objective metrics, but I've been using Reddit almost daily for 13 years. The front page content quality fell off a cliff after the API shutdown. Or, rather, it is now very apparently appealing to a different demographic than what I feel I represent.

I see stuff like "rate my photo" "am I ugly" and "am I the asshole?" dominating the front page. It's incredibly vain and lacks meaningful insight.

The only reason I still use Reddit is out of habit. I am closing the tab faster, and feeling worse about my time spent, with each passing day.

Prior to the blackout I was relatively bullish on Reddit's IPO because I felt they had a lot of room still to squeeze their userbase, but now I am not so sure. I don't know what problem I am looking to have Reddit solve for me anymore.

I am very thankful for HackerNews. :)
If you want to code extra hard then pick up side projects and improve your life. Doing extra work for your employer won't do anything for you beyond raising expectations for you to do more work and thus an elevated standard by which you will be judged. You're not getting a raise worth worrying about by going above and beyond. Be present, helpful, and do the target and nothing more.
Not everyone is in tech. Most wages have been either stagnant or increased well below actual inflation. Housing, food, and energy costs are way up, far higher than the official inflation numbers imply. Middle class purchasing power is decreasing year on year and people are relying too much on credit to maintain their previous standards of living. It’s all going to come apart once people exhaust their credit.
Ricky Gervais had a line that stuck with me back on the podcast with Steve Merchant and Karl Pilkington - `How do people sleep in hospital? They'll wake you up to give a sleeping pill`
If you can accurately strobe it with a laser, why not use the same targeting system to shoot it down? But good systems like that with sufficient capacity won't be cheap. And they'd be prime targets for artillery during an offensive operation.

Then again, from watching the publicly available videos, it seems like these drones have been most useful for defensive operations on the battlefield.

Also quite curious about this. Subjectively it certainly hasn’t felt like “the front page of the internet” to me for quite a long time, but suspect that’s just me getting old as well as a reduced tolerance for enshitification. I was always more of a lurker but used to check it multiple times per day & considered it a great source of amusement, up-to-date news, information & opinions on a whole host of topics… Over time though, the more features they added, the less usable the site felt, (even verging on anti-user at times). Combined with feeling like I was getting less value out of the content & it just stopped being a place I’d regularly go to, then eventually a place I’d actively avoid.
For a while, I came back after discovering “teddit.net” but to a much lesser degree & now that doesn’t work any more of course.
Then eventually, last week I needed to do some user research for a new game & was prompted to go looking for relevant subreddits, but most of the ones I found all seemed really dead? To be fair, I was focusing on a particular niche (and it’s possible that the niche itself is less popular now too) but it felt like in the past those sorts of places would have been busier… Of course this is all totally subjective. Was a strange experience though, not quite sure how to describe it… like revisiting a once favourite town but finding the streets empty, all the shops replaced by generic chains & all you old friends having moved out long ago?
Oh, but I did check it out, spent 9 months doing nothing but yoga and meditation out in the forest; and there's definitely more in there just waiting to be activated.
It's easier to make sense of when you remember the original purpose of HIPAA, which was cost control and portability (that's what the 'p' stands for!).

The confidentiality rules in HIPAA are part of (IIRC, I think, etc?) the "Administrative Simplification" section, which was about standardizing electronic health care records and making them available to the government for combating Medicare fraud. The law wasn't a sweeping medical privacy bill; it added privacy rules to mitigate concerns people had about centralizing medical records as part of its major purpose.
What you experience on a regular flight is a complete non-issue compared to what you can experience in a car, in an amusement park, or in VR.

And if you remove the direct comparisons, then people do things like say, war, parachute jumping, or underwater welding that are way more extreme.

Really like everything it's just the matter of getting used to it. As a kid flying used to be amazingly exciting. Then I got a job that involved flying twice a week and it very quickly got routine.

The weird forces also don't last very long at all. For the vast majority of the flight is just sitting in a chair, and feels exactly like that.
You could make it append only by default. Only ever add new shortcuts - if db was debug for you before then database would have to take on a new shortcut (e.g. dtb)
You have fees. Some are government and some are actually just cost of getting the service - modem rental fee or bring your own modem fee.

The pass through government fees get labeled as such (small township build rights fee).

The other non government fees that are really just the price of the service are now clear because the government fees are labeled.
West coast US; and it’s awful. The only times a spot is free is at like 6am, otherwise you’re waiting at least 30 minutes (actively, so no one can take your spot in line) to wait another 30 minutes to charge.
I'd say it's a combination of both. Just like in auto racing, some people are really good at flying "seat of the pants" or "reading the course" and adapting to a new layout gate-to-gate, while other pilots are better at a course with practice and memorization. At the top, it's about both together. Most races are conducted with analog video at a very low output power to reduce interference between racers, so the visuals are pretty weak and most pilots do rely on a fair amount of memorization. But, there's also a not-inconsequential conditions angle that comes in when flying outside, so pilots need to be adaptable.

In terms of "fairness" to the computer, I think this approach isn't up to snuff with a human pilot until it can fly an outdoor course in changing conditions. Still, I find this particular approach very interesting since it's inside-out (self-contained) flying once it's trained, with guided learning to start. I found the earlier purely outside-in guidance approaches to be rather ho-hum as they weren't very practical and basically skipped the "hard parts."
You could, but the whole point of the auctions is to allocate the visas economically efficiently, which this would undo.
> Personally I always felt H1B visas should be awarded on a monthly auction. Decide how much immigration we want, then let whichever companies will pay the highest salaries get the slots.

H-1B is a non-immigrant (but dual intent) visa capped annually at less than 1/10 the level of the cap on immigrant visas, it has very little to do with “how much immigration we want”.
