I didn't say that no one other than executives are responsible.

I'm saying that the executives making the decisions, and being compensated for the risk/responsibility (again, this is their own justification for exorbitant compensation), are at minimum just as criminally responsible as the much lower paid person that may make the original choice.

But it's also not a given that that the lower ranked (and paid) individual is the one who has liability - they may reasonably believe the material or product design is safe, because they don't have all the information the company as a whole has, and again, it's the job of the executives to ensure that all the information the company has is correctly considered and routed to the right people, and if that doesn't happen, then the responsibility is on the executives who failed to ensure that happened.

If the executives of a company have demonstrated that they will penalize people for raising safety concerns, they're definitionally taking full responsibility for any consequences of that, including a failure to do full safety analysis in the first place. Similarly if the executives approve employment contracts that include penalties for reporting safety concerns externally they're responsible (non-executive employees aren't likely being paid enough to afford a lawyer to determine whether or not such contract terms are legal, let alone being able to afford being laid off if they're wrong).

Finally, in this case, it's very clear Philips was aware of the problems with this device and intentionally hid that information, and I really don't think that was the decision of some random low level employee. Again, before you go and blame the low level employee, if they're just being told "this is not a real issue and is being overblown" how are they expected to know differently? The lower ranked/paid someone is the higher the perceived risk of asking "are you sure that's accurate?" or similarly rocking the boat. Obviously this is on a scale (don't explicitly put this in our safety notes vs destroy all the documents we have on this issue, the latter should trigger at least a "I'll confirm with legal the exact documents to destroy and CC you" from anyone). But again, if a company is in that position, or employees believe asking about safety issues can result in penalization or termination, that's due to the actions of the executives, and so again, they are liable for the outcome.

The model you're advocating is the mob model of 'I didn't explicitly say "poison someone", one of my associates misunderstood me and went too far, but I didn't break the law'
I would applaud if FCC goes even further, and bans the robots from use in any business, which is required to accept calls

For example: government forces me to have health insurance, and health insurance is unable to satisfy my needs online - DON'T FORCE ME TALK TO YOUR ROBOTS. These don't typically recognize my voice, and frankly speaking "How can we help you? You can say anything" sounds like an insult to me. Many of the businesses don't even offer touch-tone navigation anymore. It used to be that "Say blablabla, blablabla, or blablabla" meant you could use "1", "2", or "3" respectively, but now even that is no longer working in many cases.

Hire f*ng human, or don't offer phone line at all.
None of your criticisms make sense to me, this is some of the best local journalism I've seen in a while. The headline is a tl;dr of the entire piece and the first several paragraphs are the facts directly related to the incident and providing essential context. Nothing is sensationalized, there's no sob angle, and they even corrected a minor inaccuracy. The way you describe it is like it's a tabloid covering some nothingburger, but this is a clean summary of an important event: people are threatening SF supervisors, and it's a result of a drunken Twitter rant by Gary Tan. This is what is happening, and this is what the article describes in clear and direct language.

What else could you even want from this article? That they just elide the liquor angle? That they don't cover it at all or spend the entire article analyzing the person who sent the threats? A person in power wished death on a political figure, and people acted on that wish. This is absolutely news worthy of an article in a local blog, whose beat overlaps with the political jurisdiction of the threatened politicians.

I don't think so. The idea is that you could set the fee so low that a normal person would never ever encounter it, but when multiplied against the number of bulk emails a spammer sends out becomes a real cost. And at that point you could allot everyone a small credit sufficient for even vigorous personal use.
Dupes generally drop off the front page, whether or not someone links up the previous stories in the thread. The whole point is not to let the duplicate story crowd out other stories on the front page. Redirecting would defeat the purpose.
This is accurate, per dang's comment on the Gary Tan thread the other day:

There are other reasons that may be less apparent, like the fact that materials can have weird properties in space. One example is solder "whiskering"[1]. I believe NASA requires techs to be certified to the IPC-JSTD [2].

Ah yes, this has graced these halls many times. I use the SOLDER SLEEVE SPLICE INLINE as often as I can.
The solution for many recalls these days is quite often a software update.

No, what's notable is Tesla was forced to issue the update. This probably has consequences for Tesla beyond some bandwidth.
In the US it does but generally that's when it's directed AT a public figure. I doubt there's any specific rules when it comes FROM a public figure.
Isn't it a little harsh to include Sam Bankman-Fried in an article about San Francisco?
" One party defines a map of 2 equal-population contiguous districts. Then the second party combines pairs of contiguous districts to create the final map of N districts."

What a load of crap and what dream world do they think that could be accomplished? We can't even get ranked voting to work, and most places this past year where they did use it, it's gonna go away because they didn't get the nutjub they wanted, and this is the age of the nutjub.

Most Americans want to gerrymander, so do their representatives. It's a total myth this will get fixed or people have the will to do it or that you can somehow have these 2 parties work together, at all. Even if that's some silly "contiguous and combine" setup. Shit, one party would get angry with you for even using a word like "contiguous", that's the bar you have to get passed. Good luck with that.
Ask HN: Looking for ML side project ideas
Dear HN,
I'm currently lacking ideas for things to do related to ML, I have some compute (a RTX 3070), if the project requires a lot of compute, I may be able to borrow a cluster. Personally, I'd hope it'd require reading quite a few papers and even possibly deploying them, as such, I'd expect each project to take at least a few weeks long.

I'd rather not have course suggestions but actual papers/ideas to implement, furthermore, the field isn't of that much importance, most of my experience is in CV / recurrence models but implementing projects in different fields seems equally as interesting!

Thanks!
We both know most people don't hence the journalistic integrity required to write a headline properly conveying the severity which is "It ain't shit."
> If you aren't exchanging money for goods or services, you don't have a business, full stop.

You wouldn't have a profitable business without holding a debt over someone (money), but a business can also see the transaction be fulfilled and completed in the moment. If I sell pottery and you sell chickens, and we agree to exchange pottery for chickens, then no debt (money) is involved, but we still have viable businesses.
No there is an article to grab your attention, to sell advertisements to you.
convenient for you, less so for the partner, eh?
It feels like the maps have different goals - I see people's basements on pinside, but it's missing local small businesses with machines.

>“Normal” meals in Thailand are food stalls, $2 per meal if not less.

I gotta disagree here, that's what low-skilled staff eat on their lunch break. It's usually not very tasty or hygienic (depending on what you order), so westerners only eat this once or twice to try it out before learning their lesson. Then they stick to restaurants which cost $5-12 per meal.

Your average western expat spends 30 euros per day on food in Thailand, if they eat out. I know this because a friend did a survey.
How do you even find the right people? I have no idea how I’d do that at my company.
Seaweed as a Resilient Food Solution After a Nuclear War
Stories about COVID controversies are almost certainly getting flagged off the front page by users, not touched by mods. People look at the titles of these stories and think that's all flaggers are going by, but lots of people flag stories based on their experience of what the threads are like, and the threads on COVID controversies are fucking dreadful. I didn't flag (or see) that story, but I would have.
Have you ever considered writing a book about what you've learned about moderation and community?

You seem to have developed these concepts pretty extensively. Seeing you break down this terminology whets my appetite to hear from you in long form.
> The assumption is that a Story cannot go from the top 30 to a position higher than 90 in a single minute, without having been explicitly removed.

That's wrong. Both the flamewar detector (a.k.a. the overheated discussion detector) and user flags do that, and there are other software mechanisms that do it too. For example, if a story has been on the front page for more than (IIRC) 18 hours, it gets an automatic downweight unless we manually override it.

Also, keep in mind that user flags affect a submission's rank long before the [flagged] marker appears.
Meta's Reality Labs loses record $4.65B ahead of Apple's Vision Pro launch
Has it ever been the case that the built-in apps are the best in their category? Should it be the case? Apple's strategy seems to be to make a simple offering that appeals to most people, and to leave the advanced/special/power features to third-party developers. I think that's a pretty healthy arrangement, though I bet many devs would prefer Apple not offer defaults in some categories at all.

Your feedback is definitely reasonable, I don't perceive it as negativity.

Let me elaborate on both examples:

1. Helm dependencies

As cert-manager doesn't have any dependencies this will work fine, but we saw in many other helm charts often a "bitnami postgres" or the kube-prometheus-stack included. These dependencies will be installed in the same namespace as the original chart gets installed. Which is not very transparent for the user. A classic example is the Bitnami Wordpress chart where the MariaDB chart is included. The MariaDB chart received a major update through a Wordpress chart update which resulted in a lot of broken Wordpress installations.

With Glasskube we try to separate these dependencies into separate packages, so we can update the MariaDB (Operator) independently from the Wordpress installation. So a Glasskube package will be able to request a database (CR) and if the CRD is not yet present in the cluster we will install the CRD provider (mariadb-operator).

2. OLM cli

If you only want to manage operators and are very skilled you can use OLM which will have a similar effect, but as I tried to explain with the Wordpress example, most packages will not purely be an operator but have some namespaces components (like deployments) and will require custom resources from operators.

We have not yet introduced this distinction, but will maybe add the two categories ClusterPackages (Operators) and Packages (Apps) which play together nicely.

Our aim is to not recreate the wheel, but give cloud native developers the possibilities to make sure operator dependencies are met and Kubernetes users a simple CLI und GUI tool to get started without the need of copy pasting some helm commands that somebody else will update with different values or who does not read the changelog of a helm chart to fully understand the consequences.

Happy to get more of your knowledge to make Glasskube a better product, as we are still in the technical preview phase.
I've often seen suggested in forums that tourist visas forbid any kind of work while visiting a country. I've yet to see a single article of the law that actually points to this. So, I'm inclined to think that when people repeat this, they actually haven't checked. I have looked at the clauses on many tourist visas, as given to me by various consulates, and seen no evidence of this new interpretation. A tourist visa often forbids working or doing any kind of local business, other than volunteering and the likes (i.e. taking a local job, selling stuff locally, meeting with local businesses, etc). That this new interpretation coincides with the emergence of nomad visas just tells me that nomads have been questioning their appeal and it's been suggested that they might be infringing some law, if they keep using tourist visas instead.

Think of the ramifications of trying to regulate all the fuzzy definitions of what constitutes "work". What about someone writing their memoir? What about any kind of opus you're working on while on vacation (electronics, code, writing, etc)? What about needing to manage your business at home for an hour everyday? What about being on-call for work emergencies? What about meetings? Such a visa would easily make anyone an outlaw, which many people think is a non-issue, because the country doesn't enforce it, but is actually a big deal.
It's not a valid assumption. I'd better post about this at the top level: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39231537.
Scott hasn't been a mod for years.
Probably because:

> He had gifts sent to the local churches and to the poor, “so that what I amassed through evil deeds may be assigned to the holy uses of good men." Some of his wealth also went to the clergymen of Mantes, so the churches he had destroyed could be rebuilt.

I can definitely imagine some bishop or cardinal pilfering the king's treasure room while claiming the king decreed it out of remorse.
I dislike how news sources are abusing the word recall. Recalling every Tesla on the road means an OTA patch. Most casual readers will assume recall to mean the car needs to be brought in for service.

Whatever your thoughts on Tesla, this is a scummy tactic.
I think about this a lot. So many people I know who have net worths over $100MM are kinda jerks, or at least have been/appear to be. However, knowing them really well, knowing how they are with their family, friends, how they treat support staff etc... I actually know they're not jerks, so what is it?

imo: They're just really good at driving outcomes for themselves.

That can be seen a selfish and often manifests as "that person is a jerk" - but if you follow along next to or behind them, you're in for a great ride with more often than not, good people.

"remotecall"?
Thank you! It would have been silly for me to deny that my math was off, I don't really know how I would have rhetorically done that lol. I did find another relevant link on this topic for consideration, though, after writing my above comment: https://futurism.com/the-byte/ai-electricity-use-spiking-pow.... According to that article, although large language models are not yet be drawing as much power as I calculated (so my linear extrapolation was still silly), apparently they might eventually do so (0.5% of the world's energy by 2027). The actual study is paywalled though so I don't really know what their methodology is and they may well be doing the same linear extrapolation thing I was doing above, so I'm not really sure how seriously we should take this. It's something to consider though when we weigh the costs and benefits.
It's definitely not true, as lolinder has pointed out. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39231537 for more.

Love me some techdirt, but this is off base in a few ways. For one thing NYTimes and Politico are both profitable. Whether they're good is up to interpretation, but I don't think the likes of techdirt can say they're failing.

They mention 404 Media in there as somebody who's doing it right. They're about to put up an email wall for their content because AI and monopolies and social media and tracking users will save them.[1]

But one thing this article has for it that I haven't found in most other reading is an attempt at a solution. I mean at least it links to a discussion about it.[2] I'm only half-way through it, and so far it's a radical approach. Given the gutting of journalism I believe a radical change is what we need.

Unfortunately, discussing this too much more runs the risk of becoming too politicized for HN. I'll point out only that as deadly riots go, January 6 ranks at the near the bottom of American riots (lots tied with one fatality.) As protests or even attacks on or in government buildings go, it is not particularly notable. If that's what we're worried about, I'm not worried. It will be forgotten like the 50s Puerto Rican attack in the Capitol and it will have had less effect. If there'd been a stronger police response/presence as there was during the BLM White House protests or some earlier Capitol protests, you'd not even be hearing about it today. But for that accident (or conspiracy if you're so inclined, or deliberate underestimation of the threat of Trump supporters, or whatever) it would have been forgotten on January 7th.
Agreed its quite old now, and for work I have to use the up to date standards as specified by the customer.

However, as a pictoral reference the newer documents arent as clear for me, so this online database is still very useful.
I'll just say that my on-the-ground experience (limited such as it is to the markets/trades that my friends and family work in) doesn't express that construction is all of a sudden a good job. I could perhaps be convinced that it has upgraded from a shit job to merely a crap one, perhaps because so many people have escaped it that they have to at least pay slightly better these days. If I had any kids, I'd still be inclined give them the same advice that my blue-collar parents gave me - go to school to do just about anything else.
