A lot of people get accused of things. Sometimes they're found guilty, sometimes non-guilty, sometimes it doesn't go to trial.

No idea why it needs to be mentioned and what it has to do with this game about a show/fictional character.
I'll second Psycho pass -- Even ep1 of the first season if you want a "smaller lift". It's gory, so if that's not your thing be ready -- but I really enjoyed the story and universe.
I feel this pain. I went through my profile the other day and found I'd flagged something like ten posts entirely accidentally, presumably by hitting the flag button whilst scrolling on mobile.

Sam Bankman-Fried Was Raised in a Fraud Cluster
I've come across his twitter feed a few times, I suspect it's not some 4D chess move but a lot of things he sincerely believes, and an advertisement for his firm (as all blogposts are). There's a lot of twitter brained "tech thought leaders" out there and they finally try to write something coherent for normies and it comes out like that nonsense.
Late to this, but I do it by:
- thinking top-down: PVSGEERRRR which stands for purpose, vision, strategy, goals, empowerment, execution, report, review, revise, repeat. Those are carefully considered and solidified but open to new learning, for me, now.

- having a highly efficient organizer (I use the one I wrote, AGPL, at https://www.onemodel.org, desktop-only and requires you to manage postgresql; those mentioned by others might also work well) to track things I don't want to forget

- putting my daily routine as well as all reminders/notes/calendar/ticklers/prioritized plans/todos etc organized in there, making it more efficient & effective as I learn, over time. This includes reminders to relax, and lists of things I want to do to relax to make sure they stay beneficial. I make voice notes on my phone and have a daily to-do to transcribe any new ones into the prioritized system, along with a scripted/fast periodic backup routine.

- having daily meditation and scripture study & prayer about what I can do to be a better person, which I then incorporate into the routines above.
"The prosecution would like to present Exhibit A..."
I'm thinking more they're getting ready to liquidize. Brick and Mortar stores are empty AF, and failing left and right. People want to go back to the 1800's when you built a farm, and went to town once a month for supplies, and that's that.

Everything is online, so why not. Walmart has the luxury of being somewhat essential having grocery departments, so they can keep foot traffic that way - but a lot more people get groceries via delivery as well.

My family we're all pretty much -- if I see it, I want it, so I buy it regardless of if we should. Ordering delivery we buy a TON less junk food, and uneeded crap.

We just order what we need, it also helps with our ADHD because we forget ingredients ALL the time when planning meals, so we just call and have the meal tomorrow instead of today, but that ends up being 5 days later, and then something we did buy for that meal goes bad and its a vicious cycle.
> ... but the LAA is not a national security eligibility. Access to classified will be limited to a specific program or project and will be cancelled upon the completion of the program or project for which it was approved...

I mean, I originally thought about lengthening my answer to point out that there are limited ways to allow people of extraordinary necessity to work on classified projects, but I figured it wasn't necessary.
Biased messenger, but correct message. CAFE and crash standards are the example to teach "bad knock-on effect". Make strict efficiency requirements, but exempt huge trucks? Everyone makes huge trucks!

Ideally, there would be a progressive gas tax on luxury trucks above a certain weight, but there is no way to enforce that which isn't highly intrusive.

I guarantee almost every truck owner could have a Ford Maverick instead of a Ford F-150 and they wouldn't lose an ounce of the needed capacity for their lives. Heck, the 2024 compact pickups are larger and heavier than full-size trucks from 25 years ago.

I was looking at Van der Hall (vanderhall.com) 3-wheel roadsters because they look cool and have an old school open air feel about them. They are exempt from so many requirements because they aren't four-wheeled, thus not an automobile WINK WINK.

I wonder what kind of sporty, comfortable, functional and efficient cars we could have under $20k in the US if we didn't have the overwrought safety standards and perverse incentives created my federal regulators.
Totally! We've run versions of this live at conferences where folks discuss and vote and it works well
There aren't any terms of arbitration that can prevent you from sharing evidence of a criminal conspiracy with the police.

An NDA cannot stop you from reporting criminal conduct. You can be sued by the criminal for doing so, but this is America, you can be sued for anything by anyone. It doesn't mean that they'll win (And will look a hell of a lot like witness intimidation in their criminal trial.)
Your scenario starts with a gun pointed at the person. How much training do you believe is required such that an otherwise ordinary person "win" a gunfight when their gun is holstered and the opponent already has them in their aim?
I upvote all the useful, on-topic comments that add to the conversation that I see, so about once a day.

I downvote all the off-topic, hobby-horse-pushing, badly-informed, self-interested or -aggrandising, wrong, mean and repetitive comments, it's basically a full-time job.

Part of this case was that Monsanto “bullied” scientists into favorable reports.
> I I’m just saying it’s not practical for everyone to be replaced because it will crush the economy.

The purpose of the economy is to fairly allocate resources to people. Labor is a resource. If we suddenly have no scarcity of labor, that should mean everyone is wealthier than before. If the economy is crushed by suddenly having a limitless supply of a resource, it means the economy isn't able to allocate resources fairly, which is a problem with the economy, not the resource.

I'm an optimist and I think people can make the economy adapt to the problem of suddenly being richer than it was previously.
I disassemble most things I get from china. There is a lot of engineering innovation, but the innovation isn't aimed at the user of the device. The innovation is in ways to make a functional device with fewer manufacturing steps, cheaper.

However, one day those engineering minds will divert their attention from making devices cheaper and more efficient towards making the same devices perform better and have more features. At that point, the consumer will see the innovation.
I don't agree, some jobs are what I would consider protected. Particularly, when they are literally wearing their main job uniform and exercising their same powers!

For example, in the UK the Police are technically servants of the crown, and are prohibited from industrial action / striking - this means there are different from a regular job.

Do you feel members of the military should be allowed to have weekend jobs, particularly roles that benefit from their main job.. such as being a mercenary?

Comparably, I would be shocked in an SEC official would be allowed to have a 'side-gig' working in finance. Same as there are conventions on the business interests that US presidents are allowed to have.
"According to the Economic Policy Institute, wage theft costs U.S. workers as much as $50 billion per year — a number far higher than all robberies, burglaries and motor vehicle thefts combined"

Privileged Americans will do anything to steal labour and instead make the hard working people seem like the criminal. But the managers who steal money are completely safe and never accused by the privileged.

Only one of the reasons why unions are essential in US.
Had they disclosed the felony would they have made it that far?

Yes, but, the way their antilag works is identical to a cheat - it's actually hooking/detouring the game's own functions, which any anticheat will see as an obvious hack.

NVIDIA's Reflex actually requires that it be integrated into the game code by developers (which they then provide) rather than trying to inject itself dynamically, but AMD wanted to have "works in every game!" as a selling point.

Which would also be fine if they had talked to any of the developers and gotten their "cheat" whitelisted, but they didn't do that. Which is the bizarre part. OK, you have a cool thing you can inject into the game code... but you can't inject anything without bringing developers/anticheat in on the release.

And literally everyone from the most basic modder upwards knows this. Gotta be real, real careful about what you inject into games with anticheat, or you'll eat a ban. Even stuff like reshade is a no-no - it's perfectly harmless, but the anticheat doesn't know that. This is basically "reflex as reshade" and has all the same problems around anticheat.
I'd rather just see my government eliminate the SUV loophole.

Requiring special insurance or a CDL to drive a Childcrusher GTX truck would be a nice and good thing too.
They certainly can come up with plenty of reasons its valuable for them. Cigarette smokers can come up with a lot of justification of why cigarettes shouldn't be banned.

It seems like the GoF research shows a lot of "oh look we made a super virus. It would be very bad if a virus did this in nature." Perhaps we can get some data on specifically _how bad_ that particular function would be. What do we get beyond that? Like you said, are there any other benefits that outweigh the risks?

Maybe we're all just really bad at understanding risks. I see a lot of comparisons between nuclear power. We know exactly how much dangerous material is in a nuclear reactor. Those physics don't evolve. Nuclear material doesn't reproduce and reinfect endlessly. A nuclear power plant needs a chain of failure to be harmful. A virus only needs one particle to infect.
> UNLESS there's some benefit it cannot get anywhere else that's core to the business

Capital.

Most angels, pre-seed, and incubators are still in the Bay Area and Seattle (largely a function of FAANG being HQed in those 2 metros).

The handful of those ime in the NYC area tend to aim towards Israeli startups that are semi-established already (eg. Team8).

Also, because plenty of tech companies have a significant presence across Asia or even started there, the Bay Area wins out due to reasonable direct flights to Beijing, Shanghai, Delhi, Bangalore, Singapore.

It's the same reason why most Israeli startups choose Boston and NYC, because you have a large Israeli diaspora there and direct El Al flights every single day excluding Shabbat.

> Garry Tan's twitter feed is full of examples

He brings up some real issues that SF's political establishment ignores, but he's also wading into local politics by funding a friend of his's entrance into SF local politics. Great guy but there is some vested interests going on. Sort of like Ron Conway 10-20 years ago.

> it looked like Chicago about a decade ago

I'd disagree. Chicago has always been more lively. It has the benefit of a younger crowd as it's a college town. SF and the Bay Area in general has professionalized, becoming sort of a Manhattan 2.0.

Also, the kind of cool artsy stuff you'd see 10-15 years ago is happening, but now mostly in Oakland and San Jose, because most people doing artsy stuff in their 20s today are living with their parents.

Alternatively, you might just not be "in" the crowd anymore. People my age don't club as much - we go to raves instead. We don't drink as much either - preferring to get stoned or just wake up early and workout and hike instead. My buddies in SF who moved to NYC mostly moved to club and get laid. Those of us who had the option and stayed weren't big into clubbing or already had relationships.

If you were used to clubbing or drinking culture on Polk St or Castro or Folsom or Mission a decade ago, that era's long dead.
Once you factor in the externalities, private motor driven vehicles are not a cost-effective form of travel.
Apple's Cook Cheers on Tencent Game Gala in Rare China Visit
I know, it's crazy right? There are people here that just blindly assume that because the NIH lied about 1-degree indirectly funding gain of function research on coronaviruses at China's only level4 bio lab, where workers were just happened to be some of the first that got sick, where security protocols were admitted to being flawed, and the Chinese government came in and deleted data... that any of this means it came from there!?

When in reality we all know China said it maybe came from a wet market in the same city (as the only Level4 biolab), because someone ate a bat.

You and I have higher burdens of proof than these "conspiracy theory" pushers.
If Browsers can do Figma and VS code, they're already a far capable and approachable platform at least for most desktop applications than Qt especially for anything that has some data entry such as ERPs etc.

When Andreesen calls back to earlier eras of greater tech optimism & growth, that's aimed at people who've lost out on the reduced dynamism in recent decades.

Theory: A lot of technologists have both the emotional maturity and intellectual maturity of 15 year olds, but they have been compensated handsomely for their technical prowess over the past decade+ and have confused that purely vocational merit with merit in other arenas.
I've never had jar roux that didn't taste of stale oil. Maybe I've been unlucky, but I'm probably just a liar.

Once you get the hang of making roux and realize you don't have to get it the color of black coffee to make good gumbo, it's just not that hard. And it's 10 cents worth of ingredients, not us$10 for a jar. But then, I'm a white guy so unworthy to comment.
I would upvote if the button was more easily pressed on mobile!
Very true. The whole trope of "I will not be disrespected" is a huge US character trait.

The problem is for a notable segment of the populace, "disrespect" can be as minor as "looking bemusedly at you" or having the audacity to have a different opinion.

I think if there's even a 49% chance that a certain kind of research caused the pandemic, it should be banned, because that's too high. Hell, even a 1% chance of another pandemic is too high, but I don't think any honest evaluator can put the odds of it having been a lab leak that low. It's not 100%, but I think anyone being honest with themselves about the evidence has to put it over at least 20%, and I think as high as 80%.
I just watched Planetes last weekend. I'd started it many times but never finished it. Once the main story arc with the main character gets rolling, it gets really good.

I wish more anime shows would be a one season and done affair, instead of the trend for shows to just go on and on indefinitely.
Below is a link to a list of Youtube videos you can watch on leadership/management. If you go through them all, you'll pretty much know all that there is to know in theory - all that's left is to put them into practice.

I've come to the conclusion that any sort of job interview has a high level of subjectivity. Basically as an applicant, you roll the dice and hope that you have a good day and "click" with the interviewer.

> simply hard-linked to the resources

It's fairly surprising to see that approach from pretty large brands/companies. Some Indian ISPs are kinda notorious in that they'll just link to huge image files on third-party sites and just let their 300 million customers hammer the poor site into the ground. I guess it saves them bandwidth, but they also run a huge risk of pissing someone off and have that asset replaced by something nasty. When people use this kind of hard-linking/hot-linking of resource I don't think they do it to save money or to be evil, I think it mostly gross incompetence.

We had an issue where our product images would just be ruthlessly scraped, if there had been some rate-limiting in place we'd most likely just have allowed it or not noticed. Normally I just pointed the poor scraper to a multi-gigabyte file or funny and unrelated image, if you want to download the same image of a beaver 25.000 times go ahead.

But I also seen amateurishly search engines just pound a site to the point where it was easier to just deny all traffic coming from their crawler, as compared to try to reach out and figure something out. Say what you will about Google and Bing, their crawlers are well written and well behaved.
There's a ton of Tesla customers who've experienced some variation of minor battery problems that turn into full replacements, this isn't a new issue. This poor guy hit some debris that broke a coolant hose connector into the battery pack which Tesla said destroyed the whole battery pack.

https://www.carscoops.com/2021/07/tesla-quoted-16000-for-a-r...

This is why quality matters and when Tesla fans dismiss obvious quality issues, this is what they're excusing. Water should not be getting anywhere near the top of the battery and if it does, it shouldn't destroying the entire battery.
> Most people understand that if you shoot at the unarmed cop, you'll be quickly surrounded by large numbers of armed ones who will come to lock you away.

In many situations, you'll be quickly surrounded by large numbers of armed ones looking to shoot back at you, but if they're forced to accept arresting you unharmed, they will...
Yeah same. And I don't want to install an app with a better UI just to browse Hackernews
On the labour market they are allowed. Unions typically negotiate with employer’s organizations with most businesses as members. Also, labour conflicts are adjudicated in a special court made up by representatives from unions and employer organisations. Kind of like arbitration, but it’s sanctioned by law.

Why? We don’t trust the state to do it better. Neither employees nor employers do.

I worked for a dial-up ISP that was going out of business and their last hurrah was selling renting servers doling out clean IPs from their /16 blocks so the clients could spam like crazy.

Then we encountered these spammers were willing to forge BGP LOA stating that they could announce certain, defunct and unused blocks on BGP.

I left there in a hurry, but it seems like they got away with it for a while. It would've been pretty catastrophic if their upstream ISPs decided to cut them off because they were announcing blocks they should not have been.
I swear I remember Tesla bragging about how they can turn into boats during deep water emergencies. The wheels being used as propellers, and the chassis being light enough to float. Feels like a fabrication of my mind now that I'm thinking about it...
Yes. Also, you do not want the Postal Inspectors showing up looking for you. Like, for real.

"Zipang"[1] is another "real" (i.e. not "fantasy" anime), detailing the adventures of a modern Japanese Maritime Self Defense Force destroyer and it's crew who are somehow transported back to the midst of WWII, specifically the Battle of Midway. it's really quite good, and available on NYAA.

I wonder if it's effective for their intended audience, though?
Just checked one job, all it says is, that the applicant must be able to obtain ITAR accreditation from the Department of State. Nothing really extraordinary in aerospace, especially for an US company. Weird so, that SoaceX is emphasizong the ITAR aspect so much, but then I have no experience how that is handled in the US, maybe that normal.

That being said, ITAR is not a job classification, ITAR covers the move of anything defense or dual use related (data, information, hardware...) outside the US with some weird things about nationalities of people handling those things. It has nothing to do with classified or secret information, that is something different in addition to ITAR.

The thing that puzzles me about roles like janitors: ITAR is "need to know, right to know", meaning if you don't have both, you don't need access to ITAR protected data. And since the normal janitor, or payroll admin, has neither nobody bothers those roles with ITAR normally...
They've already proven the EV model works (along with BYD) [1]. Might as well shove your enemy into the lumber saw if they're trying to weaken standards. Adapt or die. Someone else will make EVs if legacy auto doesn't. No need to encourage folks to drive a studio apartment around (F150) if it is combustion powered. We're burning up so much fossil fuel for people who are social signaling or buying emotionally vs legitimate need [2] [3].

I watched a video on Youtube of someone driving their Tesla through water that is up to its hood. Nothing seemed to happen to it (it was able to drive away). Supposedly the batteries are sealed, but I'd never test that doing it. This car was so deep in the water I'd be worried it would wash away; I guess it's so heavy that it doesn't happen.

It's interesting that a lot of pro-cop people will say stuff like "The neighbourhood cafe always gives them free doughnuts. Guess who has a cruiser parked there often and always gets responded to. Be nice to the police."

Like, dude, that's a protection racket. At that point, you might as well open it up to private organizations and I'll pay on the market for the best one that I like.
