Great for uber is still limited by traffic and is a lot more expensive than great transit which doesn't get stuck in traffic, and thus is much cheaper than uber for better service.

Bad service is much worse on transit though.
>This doesn't enforce control over Internet, this only adds a locked-down mode for children.

I'll remind you that your proposal mentioned:

>Make it a legal requirement for parents to set up this option for their children on every device they use

I don't like the idea that the government a) mandates a parent take action on their devices just becsuse they have children nor b) that specific companies are mandated to make specific feature on their private OS (and we won't even go into the rabbit hole of how you enforce this for Linux. Are kids now not allowed to use Linux?

And to respond to another comment:

>For options to be available, you need regulations. Today without regulations there is no OS that would provide a single checkbox like "show only content appropriate for N year old". It seems that there is no motivation for device and OS manufacturers to invest into implementing such options and filters.

I fundamentally disagree with both of these premises. You can create options without government intervention. That's exactly how games and movies work.

And just becsuse OS's don't have the options nor convenience you want doesn't mean they are mandated to apply them (again, I will also mention Linux as a confusing factor to mandate). Third party tools exist that do all this for you on all major private OS's convinently and will curate lists for the parent. It's up to the parent to seek these out (or, learn how to use the admin settings. We're not talking about command line prompts nor batch scripting here).
I can't speak to everything DevOps related, but GPT-4 is absolutely a godsend for writing boilerplate deployment scripts, e.g. GitHub actions, terraform, dockerfiles, and serverless scripts.
> Also, it's still available without a prescription, last I checked,

That's jurisdiction dependent. I had to remember to pack some when traveling for work in Oregon, since it was not available, even behind the counter.

When you treat people like children, they will act like one. Putting a law in place to _try and_ stop kids from being an adult, will result in even more grown up children. Part of being an adult is dealing with stuff you don't like and handling such, reasonably maturely. Let the kids learn not to touch the hot stove.

now that COVID has a few years to run we have new data for scientist to discover it's effect.

But this is how nature regulates itself? I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make.
Time is money. Look at how much time WFH has saved people, no that they don't have to commute. If anything, I would say the ability to summon an AV and have it arrive in ~5 minutes would be more beneficial when you're _not_ on vacation.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/ellenhuet/2014/09/08/uber-lyft-...

Dated but it says 66% of riders can find a ride within 5 minutes. I think 5 minutes is a good target.

With how subsidized public transit is, I don't believe these AV taxis could beat it on price... but they don't have to. They just have to make it low enough that the benefits of private travel outweigh the cons of public transit.

People tend to take less public transit when they become wealthier, not more.
For what it’s worth, Afrin and other similar nasal sprays are by far the best decongestant.

The only issue is you can only take them for a few days straight, or you’ll have rebound congestion when you try to quit. There are oodles of stories online of people who didn’t heed that advice and upped their dosages again and again for months.

Here’s the best method: Afrin (etc.) at night so you can sleep, and during the day if you have something particular important going on. The next day, after you wake do a sinus rinse with xylitol. This clears out the Afrin preventing dependence, but xylitol also keeps things somewhat suppressed.

Continue until cold is done. Source: me, a person with a ridiculously bad immune system that has multiple colds a year that last 3 weeks with nearly full congestion.

(Also, Adderall is great for colds)

As a Germanicist who was also enchanted by Finnish, Tolkien’s inspirations lay in things like the Icelandic sagas and the Kalevala, which are replete with singing or composition of poems. (The Kalevala was sung, and in works like Egil’s Saga the prose narrative is frequently interrupted to present an intricate poem.) After all, there was a close link between song, poetry, and magic in ancient northern Europe.
Waymo is fully owned by a public company. Economically they are indistinguishable from Uber (other than having a huge ad profit center to subsidize them). What VCs are you referring to?

You can't control for idiots. That's why legalizing things is hard. If 99.5% handle it fine and 0.5% do dramatic stupidity, the 0.5% mess it up for everyone.

It's also worthwhile to point out that, although in this case the bad human driver was the immediate cause of the accident, at scale this will happen with some frequency, either from bad human drivers, bugs in the software or hardware, or just weird situations. The entire point of AVs is that these can also be corrected at scale: people who make excuses for the failure are removing the paramount incentive to make AVs as near to perfect as possible.
And besides it’s an affidavit not an NDA. It’s just a legal document claiming that what he said happened, did in fact happen. Not sure what the moral stand is here in not signing it?

All I care about is hanging out with "my friends" more, I guess I develop enough of an emotionally-compelling connection with shows/works + the characters/actors I like that I kinda never want it to end and its moot to consider the welfare of the characters or overall quality because its all abstract or academic anyway and I derive such sustained benefit or enjoyment from it continuing in perpetuity. Nothings getting solved or done or any progression truly achieved anyway so who gives a fuck? Film critics be damned, if Im happier and my mental health is better and I enjoy mysef on account of this, I really could care less about critical acclaim. Its the actors' job(s) to worry about consequences like typecasting or regret or whatever

I made this comment elsewhere but I do a sinus rinse in the morning with Xylitol, and do Afrin at night. Rinsing it out helps with dependence and Xylitol helps with congestion too.

You can in a way, if you tie up the E cores by pinning work to them exclusively, the scheduler will send other stuff to the P cores due to resource constraint avoidance attempts. It's not power efficient to sit and wait for an efficient core when you can buzz it through a P core super quick and get back to idle, I would imagine haha
What's interesting to one person can be boring to another. I'm assuming you are on the analog side and find that stuff interesting. I'm on the digital side and was in a serdes team for 10 years and I'm glad to be gone.

You're absolutely right though that companies pick the process node based on the application. Everything I'm working on now is 5nm or smaller. Our customers DO want faster processors but we also have lots of serdes for 400+ gigabit networking and other stuff. I have friends doing DC power converters in 180nm. That's over 20 years old now but still useful for a lot of applications.

I worked at another startup and you're right about some things not being VC compatible. They want big investments and big payoffs. They aren't interested in investing in companies with lower risk but steady smaller profits.
While the encryption might be solid, if you have a security issue in a sensitive area such as the build environment, you cannot have any confidence in the app.

I get your point. But we have to draw the line somewhere and Soda (even though addictive) is not something that has the same level of peer pressure and damage vector as Social Media. If all your 9 year old friends are on it, you bet you wanna be on it.

I will also argue that things like Soda can harm you but are much easier to restrict compared to Social Media access and social media has compounding effects on your mind especially if you are a child.

Nothing will meaningfully change, it's mostly a money grab I assume. Politicians and media have built up this boogieman for years and now it's time to cash in. The kids supposedly negatively affected won't see any of that money either. The social media companies just need to donate more to campaigns to make it go away. Cynical as hell, but watch, that is how it plays out.

>I believe that no single person sits down and says "let's make kids get addicted to our product," but they do run A/B tests or new features and keep the better performing variant.

Television stations make pilot programs to see if a show is any good. Intentionally making bad shows isn't a great business model. Television stations want shows people will watch, otherwise they are wasting a ton of money. I suspect social media is similar.

It’s called “work ethic”. Right now, I am building a team where the actual coding is really simple in the grand scheme of things. Since ChatGPT is well trained on the AWS SDK, the CDK, etc. you could literally use it to do 90% of the work.

But the organizational complexity, business rules, etc are complicated and we are still figuring everything out. I need someone with the following behavioral traits. I’m going to frame them in terms of the Amazon LPs since it gives everyone a publicly available point of reference:

- Customer Obsession

- Ownership

- Learn and Be Curious

- Bias for Action

- Dive Deep

- Have Backbone; Disagree and Commit

- Deliver Results

If you have any kind of work experience at the mid or senior level you should be able to demonstrate those.

Muckrock.com is a wonderful source of information as a starting point. It has many, many, many requests publicly online. They also run documentcloud.org, which has many millions of documents received through FOIA.

There are definitely groups out there that have collectively caught the "FOIA bug". It's a very fun culture of sharing and holding those in power accountable when they otherwise wouldn't be. I recommend just submitting a random request to a random agency about something you're interested as another alternative starting point. What tends to happen, amusingly, is that once someone submits their first, then something kinda clicks in their head and they submit another, then another... then they sue. It's all very organic and it's very uplifting to see someone grow in this field. We generally try to do our best to teach others what we've learned (tactics, strategy, wording, techniques, etc). So if you pick something up, definitely share the love.

This one is funny. There was enormous marketing buildup and they even did a full release event with media outlets posting live from the audience, Apple event style.

A little more than a month later MS decided to cancel it. And to be fair, it wasn't that great of a product, but the fact that they burned through all of that development and a massive marketing rollout only to throw it in the trash a few weeks later.... just peak late-00s Microsoft.

Well UFS isn't entirely esoteric, it's the successor to eMMC and the storage medium on most Android phones. (iPhones use NVMe) I think it's mostly that the UFS/Debian intersection is a bit of an edge case where users aren't typically trying to install Debian on low-end laptops, but it threw me for a bit of a loop when I ran the installer and it showed no available drives to install to. (The Ubuntu installer, for instance, does seem to include UFS support.)

And yes, the support was good! I expect the installer will be fixed within a few months, or whenever the next Debian release happens, given how easy the fix looks to be.

>>go to the pharmacy counter and get Pseudoephedrine

Thanks DEA, you used to just be able to get that in Nyquil and all the others, but the DEA in their moronic idea that drug dealers are going and buying precursors from the local CVS (not stealing them in bulk) has to abuse millions of law abiding sick people forcing them to sign the "papers please" log book treating them like criminals for wanting to feel better.
Is there reason to believe that restriction on pseudoephedrine is having a larger effect on shake and bake production than the relative cost? I'm not really paying a lot of attention to the issue, I think I bought one small package of pseudoephedrine in the last 5 years and the biggest issue I had is that the pharmacy tech didn't assume that I meant generic when I said I wanted the cheapest one.

Whoa! That's way more information than I'd even hoped for! Thank you very much for a peek into a world I know next to nothing about.

I confess: my first impression is that it sounds painful. From a Unixy point of view, it seems like a heavy layer on top of some processes that just pipe information around in a needlessly complex way. I also admit this is due to my own ignorance of the matter. Lots of huge shops like what you're describing, so I'm sure there's something to it.

I know I'm not the first person to say this, but I really wish there were a way I could play with a modern system without investing lots of money or time into the experience. I don't know what I'm missing, and I'd like to find out.

Counterpoint: You can reduce the potential for addiction with education as well, and no time better than an early age. In Europe it’s widely accepted young adults will drink, and we can do so as young as 14 in restaurants (that’s the lowest I know).

Allowing it and not making young adults hide what they’re doing is so important. That way it can be regulated by a responsible adult, and someone on hand to make sure there’s a bucket, some water and a blanket with no danger or fear of recourse.
