so it's not "i have no data but here's my bias," it's "anecdote IS the singular of data, not only that, but data doesn't matter: what matters is what happened to me."

i can't imagine going to a movie theater and getting your arm lopped off by a whirling sawblade, but since you have no data on the frequency of it, your anecdote is an inaccurate overgeneralization, and you should not dare to assert that an entity that throws raves that burn and blind people are more likely to jump into trends recklessly with such limited information.

I don't have a spreadsheet handy, but I will say that entities that consider these types of happenings as good investments are trying to embody the "don't miss out on being cool at the cool party" moreso than the "there is no party because we are interested in having a conservative and responsible image to bolster our solid technological foundation" side of the spectrum.

I don't think it's that touchy of a subject. I feel most firms understand the a Pi should not be directly controlling machinery that can cause real harm. They shouldn't be replacing PLCs.

I think it’s really hard to interpret this chart without the wealth element - if I own a $300k home and and I make $50k a year, and I normally save 10% ($5k), and my house goes up in value 10% ($30k), one might feel better about spending (not saving) the $5k as I would still be $30k “richer” (as opposed to $35k).

Incorrect. The pedestrian was dragged for 20ft because that’s how long car took to stop. The slower the car would have been to react, the more the pedestrian would have been dragged.

And humans get confused and have people pinned under their cars all the time. Nobody wants to continue running over a person (even if it’s the best course of action in hindsight), and they often get out of the vehicle to check before even noticing that someone is underneath.

What's the argument behind this? Yes, there are questions about the quality of polling data you can extract from the Chinese public, but the polls that do exist seem to show broad and wholehearted support and trust in the state.

I can see why: they addressed the core 'are you better off than your father was at this phase in his life' question for the vast majority of their population.

There's a real chance this backfires: you didn't throw off the hated tyrant, you assassinated a respected symbol of progress and prestige.

Maybe China's relatively modest global ambitions come from a conscious attempt to avoid a direct replay of the Cold War. From an idealistic perspective, one obvious lesson was that you can't reliably export philosophy; Soviet satellite states and American-propped-up democracies both became money pits and fell apart. So why not stick to things like Belt and Road, which provide you economic opportunity and soft power on a budget?

Right now in the state of Ohio a father has 0 default rights to his own children, even AFTER paternity. Ohio is a "mothers rights" state meaning that be default the mother has 100% custody so it is always an uphill batter to get time with your kids if the mother doesnt want you to.

I asked ChatGPT-3.5 (I'm not a ChatGPT-Plus subscriber so don't have access to ChatGPT-4) and it said: "Mary is the only sister mentioned in the question. Susan and her 7 brothers each have one sister, which is Mary. So Mary has 7 brothers and is the only sister in this scenario."

This doesn't look to me like a perfect answer: it fails to notice what's either an inconsistency or a deliberately misleading question, and it makes an assumption I don't think it is justified in making. I think a perfect answer would be something like:

"We haven't been told anything about who Mary is, so we have no idea how many sisters she has. Perhaps we are supposed to assume that she is one of the siblings described in the first sentence -- but if Mary and Susan are both female and not the same person, which seem like reasonable assumptions, then that is impossible because Susan's brothers have only one sister, who must be Susan and therefore cannot be Mary. If Mary is one of the siblings then one of those assumptions is false. In that case: If Mary and Susan are the same person, who is female, then Mary has no sisters. If they are different people and Mary is male despite the name, then Mary has one sister. If they are different people, Susan is not female despite the name, and Mary is female, then Mary must be the brothers' one sister, and she has no sisters. There are other even more tenuous ways to interpret the question -- perhaps Mary and/or Susan might be non-binary, or perhaps 'has one sister' means 'is attended by one nurse', or something -- but this answer is long enough already."

Has to be an extreme one-off case, but not completely implausible. Self reported overtime pay and cramped condominiums incentivize especially white-collar workers to slack and stay, and strong economy traditionally meant weaker incentives for management to control it(before factoring in that middle managers themselves might have slow cooking divorce too).

Nowadays many organizations have overtime pay caps, monitoring, and enforcement/encouragements - e.g. MDM on laptops, SSO login histories, or by turning off lights and HVAC. It is improving at a rate and in that kind of spirit, perhaps just not using glass breaking drones.
Thanks for your honest answer. Finding purpose is a pretty good passion

> The vehicles seem to be incredibly safe when compared to human driven vehicles

Well, according to the article they are often human-driven.

Anyhow, Caltrans estimates 8.8 million miles traveled by vehicles in SF daily. That's 6.4 billion miles during the 2-year period that Cruise did less than 700,000 miles.

In California there's 1.38 deaths per 100,000,000 miles traveled. Cruise doing ~1% of the mileage in which one would expect a death to occur doesn't seem like enough of a sample to declare a comparative safety advantage.

> your loyalty is clearly for sale

Employees aren't feudal servants who are subject to their masters, they are suppliers from whom you are purchasing labor. Obviously that labor is for sale, otherwise you wouldn't be able to buy it in the first place. Sure, you'd like to be treated as a monoposony purchaser, rather than an option in a marketplace, but equally obviously any supplier of labor would be foolish to treat you that way.
Slavs have been discriminated against quite terribly over history.

‘White’ is just a category invented by Anglos and other Germanics (including Scandis, Franks, excluding Slavs and Jews) to lump together the ‘good sort’ of light skinned people away from dark skinned people and the ‘bad sort’ of light skinned people.

If you want to get deeper into ethnic speculation, I suspect it’s because Slavs have historically absorbed non-negligible amounts of ‘other’ groups such as Turkic, Iranic and Mongol; and this sets them apart from the more insulated Germanic groups who perhaps feel it makes them superior. Look at Nazi views on Aryanism and how Slavs were considered impure (funnily enough, except Bohemians, Croats and Ukrainians for political reasons… there was a war on)

My freshman year in college someone got the idea of having a weekend chad fight in the dorm instead of a water balloon fight, using chad collected from the little-known pull-out drawer at knee level on the 029 keypunch. The chad stuck to everyone's shoes and got tracked everywhere, with the sharp chad edges burying seemingly permanently into the dorm hall carpets. It was a huge mess, yet the dorm's weekday cleaning crew somehow got it all picked up in one day, and there were no repercussions.

Building out the web ecosystem for Go over at: https://github.com/livebud

Go is a surprisingly pleasant language for building websites, especially for indie hackers, yet the tooling is not quite there. I'm trying to get the developer productivity for building websites in Go to be on par with building web applications in Node.

With ESBuild and Goja maturing, we're pretty close. Go is still just missing a few important connections needed to the frontend ecosystems (e.g. React, Tailwind, etc.)

Let me know if you're also interested in this space!
They just do extremely long commutes from parts very far east. They're already in the car and already used to driving for a long time, may as well add Visalia to SF.

True, but still, the way I drive is different when there's a little child on the side of the road vs. when there's an adult on the side of the road, as there's a higher expectation of one doing something dumb and running into the road than the other, so it not being able to differentiate between the two isn't the best.
it's a fixation on the extremes, no?

the people making jokes like "I'm surprised everyone wasn't wearing sunglasses already, their future is so bright" (ok, it was me, right now) are those who had witnessed some form of the extreme cryptobro asserting anyone not on board is mentally disabled.

Hey, feel free to share it. I'm curious about your project.
I got into making house/techno music about a year ago and it's become a life-changing hobby just like getting into tech was. Getting to that point where you start making "listenable" music is unmatched. The best advice that I can give (that you didn't ask for) is to use a reference track as you make a song. It keeps you inspired, allows you to learn from the track, and prevents the kind of listening fatigue that makes it easy to convince yourself your mix is well balanced. It's not- yet :) Have fun!

Highlights from the Comments on Kidney Donation
I guess personally I'd rather have a company prioritize businesses over hobbyists especially given that the businesses that typically use products like raspberry pi are smaller businesses that really struggled with chip shortages during that time. It was certainly a frustrating time for everyone involved, but when there is scarcity, someone has to go without, and I guess I just don't mind that they prioritized people trying to build a product. It suggests to me that the company may be able to weather storms and still be around in a few years time.

Exactly as you see in this comment chain, engineers at startups get fed up of the embedded industry being stuck in the 1980s (long sales process with many meetings and salespeople, custom blobs galore, custom distros, long lead times, high prices etc).

You cannot iterate quickly based on the glacial embedded industry. I am amazed by the way we are quoted 3 month wait for a shipment (even pre-covid) without anyone batting an eyelid.

You're a bit like the satellite industry looking at Starlink and saying "well it's not true satellite, doesn't have X, Y and Z" and pointing to a few specialist applications where legacy satellite is highly suited and ignoring the masses of business applications that have moved to Starlink.

The most frustrating problem with plasma gasification from my perspective is that it essentially down cycles metals. That is, the metals either end up in slag or as a difficult-to-refine mixture.

That was my understanding the last time I worked on this. I would love to hear about any progress on this.

For what it’s worth, I think the companies that have tried this have not pursued the correct business model. They all either want to sell their system (bad idea) or sell syngas (ok, but not enough). What they need to do is charge tipping fees like a landfill to simply dispose of the trash.
This is a great thread! So many interesting topics. Awesome to see.

For me, at the moment, it is internet governance. Kinda like getting involved in local city council politics, but at internet scale. There are so many ways to get involved it is confusing... and it often seems so abstract for an everyday dev, especially if you are just a frontender like me. I have been interested in governance for a while, but had my first participation opportunity at the UN Internet Governance Forum in Kyoto last month, and have been slowly blogging some of my learnings:

For Tetris: keep two rightmost columns open, and always prioritize on laying flat than plugging every holes. That way, any blocks can be just hard dropped to that slot to immediately clear two rows on average, and keep depths of notches and peaks to around two as well.

Funny thing about this is how knowing these tricks completely change gameplay, and that everyone who knows always reserve up to ~15% potential for immediately presentable and tangible results, and it's naive hard working players who gets punished, and it has no promises that it always works, and that these facts adds so much Soviet-ness to the game!
