This is whataboutism, and you imply that extraterritorial killing by India on Canadian soil is ok, because Ben Laden.

And so what new status quo are you suggesting by this?

Ben Laden was a well known terrorist and the US never hid the fact that they went there and did that. If the same is happening here, why isn't India coming up clean and saying "yes we killed this guy because he was responsible in XYZ grave crime and sorry not sorry". That would at least be comparable to the "US/Ben Laden" parallel you're trying to make.

It must have been a quite terrifying experience. I don’t want to seem heartless but I do imagine some doctors preferring clear cut cases to corner cases and perhaps even understand the sentiment. I agree that that is wholly unfair and sub optimal, but I imagine that for every few patients with complaints with a physical cause, there is one with a psychological cause. How could one solve that under economic constraints if all tests have only a chance of finding the physical cause? Bottom line the question is: should the medical profession give you 40 chances to find a diagnosis? (Again, this is a very rational-ethical approach so after you’ve been through this it might feel as an ad hominem. It’s not. Had my share of medical mistakes in the family as well. Father died and wife and baby lived.)

The business idea is a great idea. I just mail my doctor yearly to check if procedures X, Y and Z are done in my country yet and always get a polite nay. But that’s for a situation where the root cause is well understood only the procedure too expensive for our doctors to implement. (With all respect for the failings of US healthcare, the availability of best in class procedures is pretty awesome.)
They could probably just tell the SEC, "I think you're a bunch of stupid doodooheads" and see how well that works.
Lack of publicly revealed evidence does not mean a lack of evidence.
I'm a fan of Blade Runner and really disliked Blade Runner 2.

To be honest, it didn't stand a chance with me: BR2 is a movie that didn't need to get made. Someone else in this thread called it "fanfiction", and that's what it is: technically very well made, but pointless fanfiction nonetheless.

But if I had a slightly open mind about it, the inclusion of old Deckard, the chew-the-scenery overacting of Jared Leto (and actor that is always hard to like), and that ridiculous "I'm the best" Luv -- which is miles behind the marvelously inspired Roy Batty -- were the final nail (nails?) in the coffin of this trainwreck of a movie.

The only saving graces are set design, K and the implications about Joi and her mass-produced but convincing displays of affection. The rest of the story is pointless and most of the characters are unlikable and badly acted.

Again, no movie would have satisfied me. I think the very concept of a Blade Runner sequel is wrong and a mistake; but Hollywood must march on, I guess.

[edit] My below post is for a typical MS program, but you're in luck this school will take you after completing a three course set. From their site

"No application, ever―just start learning and show us you are ready

Simply pass a three-course pathway with a B or better in each course to earn admission. No bachelor’s degree or extensive work experience required." /[edit]

Typically having a Bachelors is the basic entry requirement for a Master's program, with that program you can pass the three classes with B-s or better. There are adult edu divisions that will try and help you finish your degree with credits for life experience, but they usually require a certain amount of credits at their school, Rutgers was like 30 or 1/4 of the required 120 credits.
In this case, the second half of the headline is the more relevant part of the news, even though it may read like clickbait: "Sunken temple and sanctuary from ancient Egypt found brimming with 'treasures and secrets'"
The SEC cannot but the DOJ absolutely can (and does).
>>We have nobody to blame but ourselves.

Sort of true, but the problem is that "ourselves" includes everyone from the top 2% of consumers with highly specialized education, training, and experience in the relevant technology as well as the randos who couldn't begin to explain the technology to keep a gun at their temple from being fired, adn jsut use "social proof" as their primary criteria for buying anything.

Category 2 and everything in between makes up the bulk of the customer base. so even if 100% of the Category 1 people, plus everyone they knew, bought only true technological advancements and never bought marketing-driven products, there are not enough to make a difference to the marketing & finance "leaders" at those companies.
> Philips Hue will soon force users to create a Hue account and sign in to continue to use the app and control the smart lights. The best security model to protect smart devices is to keep them disconnected from the internet, or at least keep this option available.

Does this just apply to the phone app, or to the base station as well?

IIRC, the base station has a REST API and there are 3rd party apps that can control it (but I haven't touched my Hue light setup in about 5 years, and don't really use any of the smart features anymore).
> without mandated service, cities and regions across the country have lost commercial air service

Yes, because nobody wants to run a business at a loss.

> It sounds like planes stopped being directed to where customers were

You're assuming the airlines are stupid. The fact that the airplanes were often nearly empty under regulation and nearly always full when unregulated is pretty strong evidence they were serving a far larger number of customers.
Another one is higher insurance fees when using unsafe tooling, just like in other industries when hazardous substances are used, or there are higher accident rates.
Yes it is useful as a deflection against early hype, but I don't think the headline is fair.
Oh, this is crazy. So Google still provides directions across that bridge, and has data collection from May showing (qualitatively) the bridge is out. But when you go to StreetView, you can't hand-navigate across the bridge in the 2023 data, but if you snap back to the 2012 data, you can... And Google will let you navigate back and forth, then snap back to 2023.

Looks like the revision in 2023 didn't remove the road from the 2012 dataset, and Google's map resolution algorithm is chaining back to an older revision to find the connectivity that justifies the path. What a mess.
There's nothing wrong with spamming 1000s of raycasts per frame in a 2D game. They should be very cheap, so the performance impact of that should not be something you have to think about, and if some interaction or mechanic is easy to express with a boatload of raycasts, you should be able to just do that
But some types of software like medical or airplane controls do have those types of regulations around them, don't they? How well do they work?
Why would I inform myself? I asked the parent regarding this.
Hmm… we haven’t had notification problems like that in many years, from memory. Any idea if this was trying to deliver push notifs to Android without using Google? (Which historically has been painful thanks to Android OS versions terminating the app in the bg).

Element X has totally rewritten notification code (given it’s moved
from Kotlin to Rust) and should be much more robust for bugs like this.

Sorry you got bitten by it.
I didn't have the same question as the OP, but I appreciate and learned from this well written response.. (I had never looked at options grants that way) thank you.

I’m replying here since the other comment is too deep.

Congress very specifically, by design, does NOT represent the will of the people. It represents the will of land area. Even the part that was originally supposed to be representative of population no longer is due to shenanigans, and also over-represents land instead of people. We probably shouldn’t get into the pros and cons of this system here, but I did want to correct your fundamental misunderstanding.
Airplanes crammed full of people are a lot more fuel efficient per passenger than one mostly empty.
Rather than relax safety requirements, it's better to design reactors to meet those requirements without backup power or human action. If you can throw the "off" switch and take a vacation, then safety gets fundamentally cheaper.

High-temperature reactors based on molten salt or TRISO can generally be air cooled, so a ship-based version 'just' needs to survive the worst-case hurricane or tsunami without sinking.
Your software is cool but the description is a bit unfair to Ansible. Ansible works by solving for desired state. This software runs scripts, it replaces "for host in; do ssh $host < script.sh; done".
Just a question, I haven't been paying attention, but where is Matrix on resolving the Nebuchadnezzar vulnerabilities, and is the project still tracking towards switching to MLS instead of Olm/Megolm?
Yep. The fact that you can effectively be smeared by a state-managed record with often no right of appeal is disturbing. And this isn't the only scenario. Look up "non-crime hate incidents", which depend largely on a victim's claim that the event took place and that they believe it was "hateful", and I believe can show up on some DBS background checks. Why are the police disclosing these events that are by definition non-crimes?

> For too long, we have been a passively tolerant society, saying to our citizens: as long as you obey the law, we will leave you alone [1]

David Cameron was rightly criticized for those comments in 2015. Unfortunately there's been a bit of a culture shift since then, and it's now often those same critics supporting similar measures and implying that you must have something to hide if you fear them

Ask HN: What is the best personal dashboard tool?
I really want a personal dashboard I can look at every day to track everything important to me.

- Health (steps, calories burned, sleep, etc.)

- Financial data (bank account balance, net worth, etc.)

- Business (conversion rate, page views, etc.)

- Misc (habit tracking)

Ideally, something that is low code were I don't spend 100 hours writing custom code for. Any ideas?

IIUC Jabber never really had decentralized group chats? It had MUC but these were federated, so if the server hosting the room went down the chat also died.

Matrix rooms are fully decentralized and can survive any servers failing.

(Although note that not much else in the protocol is decentralized, much of it is only federated.)

But this approach actually also works and delivers different results in 2D space, than doing what you probably have in mind.

This approach in 3D would basically mean live raycasting rendering, which is something I would like to try in the future.
I like this perspective.

In the demoscene days, we used to obsess over 60 Hz guaranteed framerates. Code was constantly being profiled using raster bars. Our effects might have been crappy, but all was buttery smooth.

Then someone decided it would be a good idea to create a common user interface that would work on many different framerates and resolutions, and all was lost. Or people would try for complex 3D graphics and sacrifice smoothness.

Some people tried to convince us that humans have a 150ms built-in visual processing delay, and all would be fine. This is not the case, and we are still stuck with mediocre animations. The content has improved a lot though :)

It's still not public information (e.g. "Material Nonpublic Information"). You can't trade on it.

It might very well be a success if most people don't care about modems and/or it would be cost prohibitive to provide the option.
So not a single one of the 700 crashes with no known survivors that Tesla reported to NHTSA, ~95% of all crashes they have reported, had any fatalities? That sounds really easy to prove. Tesla can just get some lawyers to query the police reports. The police reports will record any injuries and fatalities and then Tesla can update their NHTSA incident reports to fill in the police report boxes that they chose not to fill in during their initial and follow-up reports.

Or are you arguing that Tesla, who knows exactly where every crash occurred and who is the nearly trillion dollar company, has no obligation to do any investigation? Instead it is the public's job to reverse engineer Tesla's crash information from the redacted reports and then donate time and money to do it for Tesla.

Furthermore, you have completely deflected on providing any support for the numbers in the Tesla safety report you keep quoting. Tesla's safety report claims 4.8 million miles per accident. You and Tesla have exactly zero evidence supporting that number except for Tesla's word that Tesla's cars are super safe which is why you should give Tesla money. Tesla will not even answer a simple question like how many accidents occurred in each quarter, let alone proper reporting like Waymo who indicates exactly which NHTSA reported crashes they corresponded to and the nature of the crash. You complain about publicly auditable numbers reported by Tesla to NHTSA while pushing completely unsupported numbers self-reported by the entity with the largest possible conflict of interest as if they are facts.

Also your last point railing about proving things safe is a strawman. Proving something safe does not mean "proving it perfectly safe", it means demonstrating the desired level of safety through rigorous investigations producing well-documented, auditable evidence confirmed through unbiased, third party access to the data and data generation methodology. Which is already the long-standing standard procedure in safety-critical systems in industries such as aviation, medical, automotive, transportation, and industrial control. It does not mean publishing a unaudited number while doing no investigations and preventing third party or regulatory access to the raw data like what Tesla does. That is called safety reporting malpractice.
> No. NFTs are useless for ticketing systems for reasons immediately obvious if you ever stop and think about it.

Yes. Very useful for ticketing systems and quote the entire sentence next time for context:

I wonder how difficult it would be to convince people that children only need access to certain sites, like wikipedia, encyclopedia brittanica, wolfram alpha, etc., and that you need to reach a certain age to get access to the wider internet.

Even if it's not something enforced, it would be a nice social opinion.
Who could've seen this coming?

I remember asking a friend who got into this why an NFT was worth anything when I could just grab the JPEG and he said "if China invades and burns down the bank, what proof do you have you own your house?"

I laughed and explained that he didn't under stand titling and regardless that if China invaded that I would have bigger things to worry about. Seems like the same mindset as the preppers and gold buyer crowd, if shit gets that bad I doubt you're actually prepared for what's coming.
It's almost as if you could use something like that for voting...
There was a fantastic conversation in the leaked chat logs from the Conti/Trickbot groupings where one of them asks if they will be putting on their “young pioneer hats”, and other chats referencing being given tasks by the security services.

The machine translation of those chats and internal read me docs from Russian to English resulted in some hilarious loss of nuance - sentences like “removing the admins eggs” (which is idiom - eggs meaning balls, and more so meant subverting the admins privileges).

You're agreeing here.
You don't need to mandate the solution, just punish the negative outcomes. As long as Experian and their peers can get away with dumping gigabytes of data without any punishment, they will. Apply a generous fine to any data breach or an incident resulting in monetary loss incurred due to bad software, and you'll see things change.

How many lawyer meetings with the SEC are you willing to sit through for $10M (5 after taxes)?
Because regulatory capture is a thing, and in absence of competition your goals are often to increase your costs which in turn means that you can charge more while still appearing to maintain a small profit margin.

It doesn't need to be higher prices, but regulation tends to bring in enough distortion that isn't transparent so we cannot know what a proper price really is.
