Maybe a nitpick, but I think it would be more accurate to say that it has, in recent years, become policy to not confront thieves, even verbally and non-violently because so many of them are now willing to escalate to lethal force on the most trivial of provocations, effectively giving them a heckler's veto[1] on any measure except locking them up or asking the police if they'll find time to arrest.

I know in my grocery store training c. 1998 they definitely told us to give verbal warnings to thieves that we saw what they did, but now, even that much is dangerous.

>Insurance covers material losses as long as reasonable precautions are taken.

No one would get insurance to cover small, regular losses. And even so, insurance isn't some magic pot of gold that restores the losses that lead to closure, it just means the impact is absorbed over everyone. It's still there.

The question mark to denote a nullable type is inherited from the .net framework days. You'd use that to mark a value type as nullable, which is syntactic sugar for Nullable<T>. Internally, that object stores a bool for IsNull and it packs your value into an Object. When dealing with value types, this results in a copy-by-value every time you access it, which is bad in most cases.

I don't like this solution because it reuses something that I've learned is a Bad Thing. Though I'm sure the current implementation just stores a reference to the object in question.

But fundamentally, I think nulls are a good thing. Null carries information. If C/++ can handle null pointers for the last 40 years, I think C# can handle it. But then again, maybe this is a problem domain that I've just never encountered. The only problems I have with nulls is around ergonomics, but the null coalescing and safe access operators solve that for the most part. Maybe it's a bigger problem at scale, I really wouldn't know. At the scale I operate at, non-nullable reference types causes more headache than it solves problems

Because that oil is not being consumed in India where it is still Saudi oil running the cars. That oil is being bought by Europe and USA.
That's the system I prefer as well! Why are we debating this? I only engage with this argument because bad-faith car addicts often try to block any kind of reform by saying it harms the poor. But as you say on your page, redistributing the revenues of these things per-capita is naturally progressive, and that doesn't need to be means-tested because income taxes are already progressive and the refunds would be income.

> However, most of these accidents are rear end collisions --- naturally blamed on the human driver.

Rear end accidents are practically always the fault of the person who didn't stop in time. If someone rear ends a driverless car, even if it stopped because of some glitch, that driver is at fault. They shouldn't be driving around city streets with such speeds and limited following distance that they couldn't stop in time.
>How does that compare to intensive agriculture and pesticides?

In general pesticides and habitat loss have more serious impacts, but when you've got a stressed ecosystem adding honeybees that deplete resources from native pollinators is adding to the harm. The bees are pollinating even when they're taking nectar as well, so they're not all bad. But at the same time endangered native bees are put further at risk by honeybees.
Also, shift should make a sound, and both space and backspace obviously have their own sounds, which are different from typing a character.
If a series hybrid were optimal in a sports car or performance car, then I would expect to see them used in the 24 Hours of Le Mans and 24 Hours of Rolex, where maximizing fuel economy without sacrificing speed is essential to winning the race. Instead, they mostly use the hybrid system for energy recovery, and it sounds to me like the new RX-9 might be more similar to those systems than what we are used to seeing on the street.

FWIW, I have endurance raced a hybrid vehicle -- a stock Toyota Prius with a roll cage. Under racing conditions, it mostly keeps the engine at a constant 4000 rpm as it struggles to keep the battery charged. Racing a Prius is a little odd, because you end up doing a few laps to charge the battery, then strategically executing a pass once the battery is charged enough to give you power. In a series hybrid, you would only get power from the electric motor(s) rather than getting the combined power of the MG and ICE.
I had the same thought. Nobody wants to touch those used rx-8's with a 10 foot pole. But I guess that doesn't matter so much for people who don't care about the trade in value down the road. Which is a surprisingly high percentage of new car buyers I've observed.

Well, in this case, everyone else is wrong. The environment and society cannot bear the level of automobile dependency North America has. If we want to leave a livable planet and society for the future, it has to end.

After all, what’s more important, not inconveniencing motorists or the planet?

Yeah, but if you are saying "a slide is 1080px tall" then you may as well use a real unit, since pixels are basically a synthetic unit at this point. A real unit does help you when printing with no real downside.

undoable migrations. I've always operated under "the only path is forward" and you release a new version that fixes the issue or create a new migration that does some kind of partial rollback if necessary. Once a migration is live, naively rolling things back seems like you're asking for problems.

I also only perform migrations as part of app init, not separately.

The answer is to stop using plastic where its material properties confer no functional advantage. More metal, more paper, more glass, perhaps more high-quality plastic. Of course, this makes everything currently packaged in cheap, mildly toxic plastic more expensive.

It's the defining trait of the 21st century, our global economic pursuit of the lowest prices possible for everything is starting to throw the baby out with the bathwater. The solutions are all inflationary, whether paying for decontamination/medical treatment after the fact or using higher quality materials, so if we do fix the problem people will generally bitch about the increased cost and poor people will be stepped on yet again through cost inflation; because a financial asset can go up and down automatically with inflation, but inflation-matching salary increases are only extracted at economic gunpoint. Maybe the would-be Neo-Aristocrats will wake up and realize it isn't the 90s anymore, and keeping the herds healthy is in the ranchers' best interest; but they're stubborn enough to force that realization to be a violent one, so it'll be a while yet before we truly turn the corner.
"Stealing" is a bit of an overreach.

This is like restricting Github license seats to a single office location, or Amazon forcing you to read Kindle books in a 5 km radius from your household.

It's true, removing the battery is mildly annoying. But I can probably count on one hand the number of times I have added or removed a microSD card from my phone. It's just not something I do regularly--Get a new phone, plug it in, and forget. Maybe remove it every few months to back it up to my computer.

Would you move immediately or get out and assess?

Would you move forward or backwards? How sure are you'd get that decision right?

Would you be confident that you weren't going to cause further injury by moving?

My point is that I'm not sure a human driver would always move the car - or whether moving would always be the right thing to do.
The thought behind it might be: perhaps now someone with influence will pay attention. At least, that was my interpretation.
Hi, one of the authors of pgroll here.

Migrations are JSON format as opposed to pure SQL for at least a couple of reasons:

1. The need to define up and down SQL scripts that are run to backfill a new column with values from an old column (eg when adding a constraint).

2. Each of the supported operation types is careful to sequence operations in such a way to avoid taking long-lived locks (eg, initially creating constraints as NOT VALID). A pure SQL solution would push this kind of responsibility onto migration authors.

A state-based approach to infer migrations based on schema diffs is out of scope for pgroll for now but could be something to consider in future.
The choice is not between incompetence and fraud, much as SBF would like you to think so.

A company giving money to the parents of the owner is fraud.

A company giving money to another company owned by the owner when not in their interests to do so is fraud.

A company giving customer funds out as loans is fraud.

Incompetence is not an excuse and never has been, just as ignorance of the law is not an excuse.

GiveFlag AI Analyzed Apple’s Q3 Financial Reports. It’s Alarming
There’s been a decrease in net income but an increase in income taxes for Apple.
According to GiveFlag AI, the company may have trouble making a profit.

It’s not a secret that the latest release, iPhone 15 models, has caused arousing concerns amongst avid iPhone users due to overheating.

Earlier today, CNN reported that Apple is working on it already. They have identified the causes of the overheating and are working with developers to fix the problem.

However, it doesn’t stop our curiosity about what happens next for Apple. Moreover, GiveFlag explained that more customers owe money to Apple in Q3 of 2023 against 2022.

Why is Apple allowing more customers to buy products on credit? Will the new fixes solve the problem of income decrease, or has it deterred customers completely?

I’m basing the price off of the sale values of neighbouring builds. I bought mine for 949, the most recent builds sell for around 1.05M, though the most recent was 1.1M. Nothing has changed and they were all built at the same time.

Mine is the only one of 36 with a view of trees rather than road or other homes, so I perceive that as higher value too. That wouldn’t be evident until I sell it of course, but I find recent prices for these homes kind of insane. This change occurred before anyone even set foot in them; I’m just packing to move this week.
Isn't that what it says there?

That is an extremely provocative photograph. Where are the Cruise PMs trotting out the video footage from the car now? In their last incident with a fire truck [1] they showed a journalist video from the vehicle. How could such footage possibly show them in a good light now?

It's all very complicated. I'm not going to die on the hill of Big Autonomous Vehicle, at the end of the day, someone, somewhere will make a good AV, and maybe Cruise's in particular just suck.

But if you just shared photos from Fifth through Seventh on Market, where this crash occurred, that would also be provocative. It would provide some context that a Cruise PM cannot possibly discuss. If you shared photos from lethal highway crashes, that would be extremely provocative.

Surely lawmakers who put together the CPUC authority and those rules considered the possibility of lethal and provocative accidents with AVs. So nothing is going to change.

I welcome David Chiu to come to Fifth and Market and deliver an intellectually honest plan to reduce mortality among people there crossing the street that involves reducing AV driving during the day.

But this argument works identically with freedom of movement, access to health, ...

For example, it is the people in power how decide and enforce border control and restricted area delimitation. And it is people in power who decide how the healthcare system works.

This argument is basically a slippery slope fallacy: freedom of speech should be absolute, because I can imagine some restrictions being used for bad it means there should be no restriction at all.

I perfectly understand why 0 freedom of speech at all is bad. My question is why people are framing the situation as "it's 100% or 0%" and why they are doing that only with the freedom of speech and not all the other rights.

I don't know, but one explanation can be that with an unrestricted freedom of speech, they can profit of not having to assume the responsibility for their acts while they will themselves not have much damage done to them. It is not the case for the other rights: usually, saying that I want 0 or 100% freedom of movement means that I either can't move myself or either have to accept a migration that I don't like. But if I use freedom of speech to create a dangerous climate upon some minority groups I don't like, I have interest of defending the 100% freedom of speech: they can themselves use the freedom of speech to say whatever they want, it will not convince the majority, because they are in minority.

> It allows people to change each other’s minds in both directions based on who has the most persuasive argument rather than who has the biggest stick.

One remark on that: "the most persuasive argument" can be as bad as "the biggest stick". Between "it's easy, it's all due to this ethnic minority" and "it's complicated, we have to accept we have some part of responsibility in this situation, yet it does not mean the other camp is all innocent, but it does not mean the other camp is intrinsically guilty, ...", the first one is more persuasive, but it is very unjust, and it is as bad as being slave to the biggest stick. The only difference is that with the biggest stick, the common guy is the victim, with this example of derive of the most persuasive argument, the common guy not the victim. But an unjust situation does not become magically just because the victim is not you.

Mr. Beast's shtick is both genius and so dumb to me. Like, the entire premise of his videos is money-money-money.

I mean, of course he's going to get some views with that formula. And yeah, I know he really does have a good understanding of how YT's audience works and how to target it. He's talked about his grinding rise to fame for years now.

But still, he didn't really attack the human mind, he just is playing off of our base impulses. He's the Publisher's Clearing House commercials but for YT. It's not adding anything to the world except base entertainment (a worthy thing in the right circumstances, of course).

I don't know, he found his edge (money! YT!) and has dogged it relentlessly. And that's great for him.

But, I dunno, I feel like his talents are larger than that. That he can make some really good stuff that will last longer than all of us.
The framing for these reports is always the same: the journalist refers to other recent incidents involving autonomous vehicles, ignoring the very high base rate of incidents not involving autonomous cars. Accidents that don’t involve autonomous cars are not interesting to them or their readers because they are so common.

If the SF Chronicle actually wanted to inform their readers they would publish a table of all motor vehicle crashes in the city by type of vehicle.

Nonprofit group plans ad campaign using AI misinfo to fight AI misinfo
Waymo had 20 accidents by February of this year but categorized 18 of them as "minor collision events".

Unless the authors similarly recategorized the driver data that is suspect.

For instance 1.24 is the number of injuries per million miles for drivers so that doesn't sound like 2.98 excludes minor ones.

The reality is the jury is still out on self driving car safety. Driving a few million miles and extrapolating isn't terribly useful especially when you only drive at low speeds.

There is a hypothetical potential to reduce fatalities but it is still very hypothetical.
