> Required insurance covers € 7.5 million for personal injury

So in Europe (or at least some parts of Europe with otherwise socialized healthcare?), if someone is injured in a car accident, their medical bills are paid for by the insurance of the person who hit them, and not that country's single-payer system?
Is there any verifiable third party evidence that ShotSpotter (or whatever it’s called now) can even do what it claims to?

I'll point back to a previous comment where AARoads came up: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37957549

It's very G/O Media-clickbaity to call this "going rogue". The editors aren't subverting anything.

This isn't the first and won't be the last fork of a Wikipedia community over the increasingly tightened, deletionism-favoring screws of notability and sourcing policies. The only people "going rogue" are the organized groups on Wikipedia moving across wildly different topics in order to hammer them all into one uniform shape that serves nobody as well as it had or could.

EDIT: The Gizmodo article doesn't link to the US Roads group's own rationale for leaving, which fills in some gaps from the rather low-content article. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_U.S._Roa...

> Since August 2022, our project has faced several external challenges that made several members question the viability of editing on Wikipedia in ways that Covid-19 didn't. The notability of highway articles in general became a focus of New Page Patrollers. Additionally, the ability to continue using maps as sources was called into question. Since then, we initiated an RfC to clarify if there was support for long-standing citation practices, namely could we continue to cite maps as sources in our articles? The results of that RfC were mixed. While chatting amongst ourselves online, it became clear that continuing to hope that another RfC or deletion discussion would go our way was an exercise in futility. In the background to all of this, other categories of articles were on the chopping block. First it was articles on Olympic athletes, and then it was cricket and area code articles.
Istio reminds me of the saying on Sawbones (a medical history podcast) when it comes to “cure-alls”: Cure-alls cure nothing.
This. Intel 10nm and TSMC N7 aren't comparable in their development. Intel didn't simply scale down their 14nm but took a different parth. TSMC N7 is basically a scaling of their N16. These two processes are 90% comparable. Only base layers are slightly different. N5 is quite different compared to N7 due to new litho though.
I don't disagree with the thrust of your comment but how does one identify the presence or absence of hubris from fossilized remains?
> the numbers are not publicized because they don't want competitors to have that info.

What do you mean? Pricing is all publically available (sometimes not all the details that feed into the model that create the pricing tables.) You can search SERFF by carrier, by line, by State, and read the actuarial filings.

Most of the time, pricing is refined by looking at prior year(s) losses, and adjusting. You go to the State, explain how much you've been losing, and they review. All that correspondence is public as well.

In my own experience I started off doing this because I wasn't ready to learn helm. However, after using helm once I didn't see the reason to do it in my own code any more.
- The comment is referring to a graph that used 10^6 on the vertical axis, which is a very common way to format graphs with large numbers (not just "lately"). It's also the default for a lot of plotting libraries.

- 10^n is more compact than million/billion/etc, more consistent, easier to translate, and doesn't suffer from regional differences (e.g. "one billion" is a different number in Britain than in the US).

I'm not saying it's clearly better than "million" in this specific case, but it's definitely not clearly worse.

> the biggest downside to the Light Phone I can envision for most people is the absence of apps like Uber, Apple Pay and Spotify.

You've hit it spot on. I got a light phone years ago to help cure my cell phone addiction, but it was too problematic. I still need to use the "tools" of my phone - things like Maps, Uber, authenticator apps, texting, etc., but I just wanted to block the "dopamine dealers" like social media and the browser.

The best I've gotten to so far is to permanently enable "focus mode" on my phone. Of course I can still disable it, but I've noticed the number of times I just automatically start browsing the web or whatever when I'm even just a tad bored, and having those apps blocked is at least just a reminder to me of "Do you really want to do this right now?"
The national annual average for car insurance is $2,545 per year for full coverage and $741 per year for minimum coverage.

Massachusetts is a severe outlier in terms of car insurance and your well below the norm. MA averages 1646/person/year vs 3950/person/year in Florida. https://www.bankrate.com/insurance/car/states/#average-car-i...
This is one of the most amazing talks I've encountered. It blew me away, connecting multiple multi neuron-type assemblies (say cortex) with other multi-neuron-type assemblies (say spinal) forming active circuits that respond to stimulation. Doing that for particular disease phenotypes, with this multiassembly model.
Yeah, it's more likely they had a broken version of their tracking scripts on some OS/browser versions.

How so? Is Airbnb colluding with competitors?
Not just the MSM - the other news made the front page two days ago, with a thread filled with raging comments, but the actual truth won't get noticed.
Unfortunately for both of us, 9% of zero is zero :(
Even in Baltimore where police response times can be total garbage..they will show up for shot spotter. At least from my experience.

Calling 911 for anything else there is a long delay unfortunately. Last time I called for a car jacking right outside my home I was on hold for ten mins. Cops didn't arrive for another 20.

...unless you're Musk who negotiated a deal with the company he leads only to have a few shysters insisting the deal is off while claiming 10% of the negotiated deal for themselves.

The board of Tesla did agree with the terms and conditions, probably because they thought the conditions would not be met.
Why not print money and buy the Magnificent 7 stock, sell over time and pay off national debt!
ate you sure it is that? after all, we all independently use the Kelley Blue book value of a car before we sell.

I think there has to be some intentional and provable link that you and I agreed (colluded) to use a particular value and set a floor below which we wouldn't sell.
NO DIFFERENT?

> You cannot legislate away costs for an in demand product. It can't be done.

It's done, and in many places around the world. In NY and SF; in Vienna, the government owns a large proportion of the housing and keeps it affordable (iirc).
Yikes! That is quite expensive compared to what I pay.
> 2. Sites that try to "keep the db clean" by nuking stuff they think is "bad" by some criteria.

The problem on Wikipedia is less about having standards and more about having changing interpretations of fundamental standards re-classify large swaths of previously acceptable content as unacceptable.

The trend away from subject-specific notability and sourcing guidelines to applying one notability guideline generically to every subject, regardless of the intent in doing so, mostly just gives editors who like to delete things a whole new buffet of articles to tear through.
Language evolution is honestly great. There's a lot of pearl clutching that happens about it, and policing around what's "ok" English or whatever. But yeah, evolution of language is beautiful IMHO.
That sounds like a dark pool for the rental market.
No, those are not billed to the person who caused the injury.

The personal injury part is meant to compensate for personal injury, such as "compensation" for becoming unable to work, or live the same way as before.
Car insurance in Europe averages ~1050 USD/year, US averages edit: $2,545 USD/year that's a huge difference IMO.

I think Airbnb recommends a price to set your place to? I know there's also some external software that do that too.

Based on the understanding of the post, I think both of those would be considered price colluding.
I don't get how this FTC position is compatible with the existence of things like commodity futures markets.

A second point that bothers me about the blog post. It's immaterial to the brief, but the blog says the rent is up 20% since 2020, citing CPI-U. But it fails to account for increasing incomes. Median household incomes, nationwide, have kept pace with rents.
Even when you put it next to the average (or better, modal) wages?
No, because injury claims also include lost income, compensation for disability, pain and suffering, etc. not just medical expenses.
Active _non-anonymous_ editors. Anonymous editors can't access TWL.
Your comment would carry more weight if human population wasn't increasing each year.

The best counterargument to the population trend argument is that we're in the midst of a Wile E. Coyote period. Along with that though one still needs to account for:

- What's different about weapons today versus say 1970s?

- Why climate change, despite being a serious (and to be clear: actual risk), isn't amenable to solutions like the Montreal protocol that've succeeded in the past?
Which is why I mentioned frequency of access. For backup purposes, archival storage might be good enough, but if you're looking for an alternative for frequently accessed content (along the vein of whatever Google Photos replacement) then most clouds will charge you at least an order of magnitude more (even Backblaze would use most of the entire proposed capex budget within a year).

But you might still have some value in using Glacier for archival purposes and having somewhat less resilient local copies (e.g. only being able to tolerate a single disk failure, or even just JBOD).

Either way, your current approach clearly works for your circumstances, even though it'd be too fiddly for me personally.
Am essentially taxed at 50%, so a 25% paycut is actually a loss of 12.5% income... May be worth it, as long as there is no expectation to "make up for lost time". Remember, it's not just working 20% less, it's adding 50% to your current weekend.
Depending on your life situation/ children, this may be a big deal.
Sadly, this is what Corporate America ultimately lobbied hard for this and the CDC has caved to them. I'm sure this is a move to exploit workers even more, causing more preventable permanant sickness (Long COVID) and deaths as a result. [1] [2]

Your interpretation of what I posted is correct. My apologies for the lack of clarity. Comment has been edited.
Not all of Colombia uses that word - it's more of a thing of an specific region. My parents were born there, but as they were brought to Bogotá in an early age, they barely use it. Though I use it more than them as I feel it conveys more sincerity than the "official" ones (tú, usted).

Weirdly enough, some colombians seem to despise this word or look down on us who use it.
I can't help but think how easily such a system - which is hardly sophisticated, in technical principle - could be used to pinpoint things that are 'problematic' in my neighbourhood. Loutish vehicle behaviour of various kinds. The loud Harley Davidson and dirt-bike signatures associated with the comings-and-goings of local gang members. Squealing tyres of deliberate burn-outs on the road. The occasional fool loudly blasting down the road at twice the speed limit. Things which the current system of "wait until someone gets annoyed enough or gets the courage to call the police to complain, and one might arrive 15 minutes later, by which time the coop has been long flown" allow to run mostly unchecked.

But those thoughts go hand in hand with a vague but distinct discomfort.
Ask HN: Any advice on navigating this job market or pivoting out of tech? (US)
I'm about to finish my CS degree this May and I'm already sick of the tech industry. I'm at a loss. I know the job market could get better soon, but there's no guarantee that it will, and things are looking bad for us with less experience. There are multiple things that are demotivating me and making me feel hopeless, it's not just the constant news about layoffs.

- Based on what I've read here, in news articles, in company portals, on TeamBlind and on Reddit, outsourcing seems popular again. Seniors who comment online are quick to scoff at this, claiming that companies doing this are shooting themselves in the foot, and that they'll regret it just like last time. But here's the thing - even if the seniors are right, I need a job when I graduate. I'll need to pay my student loans. I need to pay the rent. I can't just wait a few years for things to hopefully get better.

- AI appears to be a real threat specifically for juniors. This idea used to be met with ridicule, but it seems obvious now. GPT-4 and Gemini Pro are already impressive, but just imagine the improvements in a year or two. Sure, this doesn't necessarily mean it'll kill programming, it's possible that this is just the next step after high level programming languages, but it still represents a threat to entry level developers like me.

- Perhaps this is less important now (I'd take any job at this point), but I've gradually lost interest in the only domain I have any real-world experience in, full-stack web development. I have been strongly considering switching to game development, despite the industry's reputation, but now I don't know if I can handle an even more cutthroat, competitive job market.

- Freelance work is an option I guess, but for someone like me it seems impossible. I only have a year of dev experience (including internship). I don't have a network. My sales skills are terrible.

- I am absolutely sick of the job search grind. I went through it in 2021-22 when things were "better", I don't want to deal with it again now that even experienced devs are struggling.

What are my alternatives? What other career can I pivot to once I get my CS degree? So far, I've thought about translating (I'm bilingual)

P.S. Please don't tell me to stop worrying and "doomscrolling". I already tried that a while ago and it didn't help, the uncertainty is still there, my interest in webdev is still dead and the job market is still bad.

Perhaps I would understand your point better if you showed the same derivation both using GA and keeping two books for the two separate products?

Honestly, I don’t get why the geometric product is unintuitive and not meaningful: it’s just polynomial multiplication, which I have known what it means since 9th grade, and have very strong intuitions about.
>And I want the command line to keep up, not to be the better than nothing option

Yes, but by doing what you suggest it wont "keep up". It would be turned into an alternate delivery mechanism for GUI apps.

I want the command line to be the command line. With text, and, at most, curses.
> Anything shared on discord will be lost to time in a decade or two

Personally, as someone who has watched the evolution of IRC and other types of communication channels, I would argue that unless a thread is archived to the open web, anything shared in a realtime chat channel is lost in hours if not days.

That's true by definition. What's shocking is that the developers want to replace leasing agents with a sociopath.
... omg. Just stop. You are wrong in the SAME way over again. This bug does not let you bypass secure boot. The point of bypassing secure boot is gaining administrative privileges on the system, usually to access encrypted files. If you already have that privilege, you already crossed that boundary.

This doesn't bother me. It's about making you whole after random events. It's better to imagine a meteor hitting your car. If it turns your $100k car into a crater, you have a $100k car afterwards. If it turns your $10k car into a crater, you have a $10k car afterwards. If the meteor hits a big open field, you still have your car. It's like meteors no longer exist, so you no longer need to worry about them. That's all insurance is.

Filings are done through the SERFF system.

So Google SERFF and say "NY". (which will take you to https://filingaccess.serff.com/sfa/home/NY )

Then search by carrier, line of business etc. You want "rate" filings. You will find a report by an actuary, lots of justification explaining price changes, correspondence between the company and regulators asking/answering questions, details on how the rate changes will affect current customers, etc.

SInce most rate filings are to adjust current in force rates, they don't always repeat all the underlying details. With a little more effort you can look up initial rate filings, and they will walk through methodologies in more detail.

Once those prices are filed, they are locked in (for consumer types of insurance). Companies can't deviate in any way. (including giving unauthorized discounts).
DJI/Caddx are using basically LTE radios, I doubt WiFi chipsets will have acceptable perf. Still, for fixed wing this might be acceptable and cheaper than existing systems. For freestyle/racing.. forget it.
Yep. Median wage in Belgium is ~3.5k euro / month, equivalent to ~3.8k USD / month. Median US wage is ~4.9k/month, about 30% higher, certainly not 150% higher.
That and I don’t think Alaska has much of a choice in the short term without severely impacting their business. According to [Wikipedia](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska_Airlines_fleet), they have 65 Max 9s and their total fleet size is only 314 planes.

They’re in an unfortunate position here. If they ground 1/5 of their fleet for a prolonged period of time, it would cause a lot of flight cancelations and customers would be pissed. On the other hand, even jf they check over all the planes and take precautions, customers don’t want to fly on the planes and are pissed.
For some real numbers:

I have a barrel sauna with a Harvia. I take my phone in all the time. One level only. Where my head is, is where the thermostat is. When the temp says 170F the phone which is maybe a half meter below my head will almost never overheat. At 190F it will overheat eventually. Usually around 15 minutes or so. The higher I hold the phone and the less I insulate it the faster it overheats. “Overheat” in this case simply is the iPhone warning that it is getting too hot. I have the most recent iPhone SE at the time of this writing (2022 iPhone SE)

There’s no danger to the phone whatsoever. The phone is very good about protecting itself. Outside of the heat warnings it cools down and functions normally afterwards. The only real problem is the annoyance of not being able to use the phone in the sauna because Apple is a little overprotective of the device.
I strongly suspect the narrow FOV is an intentional trade off for increased pixel density, probably to enable practically readable text. If the FOV was much wider with the same pixel count I don’t think text would be really usable.
I've done LFS a few times over the years. I highly recommend it to anyone who "knows Linux" but wants to get into the nuts-and-bolts of why each component is needed, what it does, and how it communicates with other aspects of the environment.

From my understanding this is also sometimes a method used to get fake info on Wikipedia. Get the fake info on a secondary source, then cite that on Wikipedia.
A typical fission nuclear power plant produces about a gigawatt of power. About 8.76 terawatt hours (TWh) every year.

According to https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=61364 humanity used about 27400 TWh in 2023, with bitcoin mining using in the range of 67 to 240 TWh. So we're using roughly half-a-percent of global electricity (~140 TWh) on bitcoin. That's about the 16 fission reactors.

If we decide that AI is as worthwhile as bitcoin then we should be willing to invest that much electricity. Maybe the U.A.E. is thinking they could provide those power plants.
