Software that runs systems which can directly kill people does tend to get a lot of scrutiny, but there is also a lot of software which can indirectly kill someone that doesn’t get the same level of attention

Elon Musk Gets SLAPPed
A Brief History of Nobody Wants to Work Anymore
His whole lawsuit was about being forced to retire 10 years early because Boeing forced him out for whistleblowing.

Thats whistleblowing as in past tense. He complained to the FAA and the FAA said 'yes John you're right'.

Not to diminish your mental heath but the whole argument here is that what Boeing around "stress", "pressure" and "anxiety" was far worse.

Its not like is anti whistleblower retaliation case (AIR21) was going to be some massive blemish for Boeing. It's not like it was going to be a 100 million dollar write down. It is basically "wrongful termination" that they are fighting. And it would be round 2 on this case (the first was "dismissed").

> After all, whats the harm in letting a little girl from harlem believe someone like her could have been a medieval european monarch?

I'm a little confused by this and want to better understand what point you intend to make.

What do you mean by "a little girl from harlem" and "a medieval european monarch"?
I agree with you that EpiPen is far more widely known. But (in my opinion) the ambiguity in the title is not worth the name recognition.

Before devices, people were able to find ways to kill time at work just fine. As a human, we're perfectly capable of surviving without the device. I know that seems antithetical to zillenials, but it will be more than okay to look away from the screen for an extended period of time.

Personally, having a driver sit their counting the number of red cars or counting the number of different state license plates is equally purpose serving as doom scrolling. In fact, it's probably much less detrimental to their mental health.

It saddens me a wee bit that people think that the devices much be attended to to this extent.
Looks absolutely insane to me too. Recently I had to deal with a NPM-based theme for a minor website. It downloaded 140 dependencies. Most of them were trivial like "string-width", which finds the visual width of a character (some Unicode characters may appear as double-width). The package consists of a rather simple 25-line function that tests a character against several if-s in a loop. A function that trivial does not justify adding +1 to the potential sources of supply-chain attacks.

The fact that Edgar reports on the consequences that we find disturbing about the unsuccessful attempts and the fact that he can predict human behaviour in some of the scenarios (like the fact that the project will be reassigned) - indicate that Edgar knows what we mean in the first place, and does something else in these hypothetical scenarios on purpose.

If Edgar really didn't knew that taking iron from human blood is a problem - he wouldn't be reporting on it (like he ignored billion other factors in each scenario).

This indicates bad will and possibly a manipulation attempt, which means the project is a no-go no matter the response in the scenario.
Go for a walk right now!
Sorry, that's entirely my fault, I tried dictating it to my phone but in typical fashion all technology is getting worse every day and I didn't proofread the disappointing results.

Strangely apopos in a thread about computers generating undesirable text.
They can't. There are third party websites but there is no way for them to initiate trades. They work around this bysome crazy peer-to-peer trust-me-bro scheme.

Sorry but he didn't "screw things up" he knew (objectively) early on that it was a cascade. And so he did the first mistake, load from a sister company, using self assets. When it wasn't called out, of course you think "this must be okay".

He's cheeky and a chancer. He is a victim of your uncles idiom. But that's not the crime, the crime is getting there.
The market cap of its stock might but if you looked at the financial press during that episode it was full of people pointing out that there was no change in the fundamental value of the company. That’s because real businesses have things like sales volume, profit margins, property rights, etc. which aren’t entirely arbitrary and dampen the swings considerably. That’s not perfect or immune to abuse as Boeing shareholders are no doubt aware but it’s very different from something which has no grounding beyond momentary social consensus.
wow thanks for pointing this out

I have a short circuit for whenever I see the B word or still pushing this smart-contract non-sense that isn't being used in serious real world projects with legal repercussions....for the 10+ years this technology has existed
You are erroneously invoking a fallacy that does not apply here. A qualified DevOps engineer will be able to pick up GoLang. I didn't claim that a DevOps engineer already knows GoLang, but that they're able to pick it up. If I'd say only true devops engineer's already know golang, you'd have a point.

Unfortunately, you missed it too.
The X-15's had to be repainted after every flight, because the ablative coating was designed to wear off at speed. That's a huge expense, in both time and money. Worth it for a research craft, not worth it for any practical use.

In terms of materials, most of the newmake ultra fast aircraft are using inconel, which is more viable than it was back in the day. Some are using ceramic coatings of various sorts in hopes that they'll be able to develop something strong enough to be reused.

And that's not to say that they won't be able to come up with something, just that nobody has done it yet, or, has done it and has talked about it.
If companies couldn't issue stock there wouldn't be a stock market at all.
Hume, the first real AI conversation I've had
Not related to the Hume team in any way, but I couldn't help laughing throughout most of my conversation. Seems like a seismic shift that felt straight out of HER.

Was honestly blown away by the responsiveness of the chat. At risk of getting carried away... I can't imagine this being anything short of a game-changer?

Also, any ideas how it responds so quickly to conversation? Seems like GPT 3.5-level speed with the awareness of 4+.
Sociopathy...
Besides SEPA which mandated the upper ceiling and an upcoming regulation which forbids banks from de-prioritising payments to/from other banks (can't remember what it's called now) many European countries have had instant bank transfers locally. For example, Swish in Sweden: https://www.swish.nu/about-swish

I've seen this take a few times about this story. It is despicable to have a blanket policy that excludes remote workers from promotions. Or maybe you don't think so! But in both cases, whether the company engages in honest communication is a tangential issue. There is certainly nothing wrong with discussing a related tangential issue, but using the context of that issue exclusively to characterize the news story ("this is a good thing") makes it seem like there is an ulterior motive, or is at the very least confusing.
I really love this sentiment.

Unfortunately, it also seems really hard to build many kinds of applications in a way that follows this line of thinking. I've been building a personal finance app with privacy in mind, but there are some places where you might begrudgingly "hold" a users' data that are just unavoidable. For instance, if we want to be a serious competitor and have bank integrations, then plaid etc. will require you to run a server that can see the data, even if you don't want it.

We also don't collect names in our app, just an email, but good luck collecting payments, avoiding fraud or reporting taxes without collecting name and address.

We've built our system to be as minimally invasive (e.g. in the above, financial data is only proxied to the user's device, never stored on the server), but that's only the "intention" part - there's just not a way to take the full measure.
Or a innate signal recognition of anything that is worth remembering (sensory stimuli, internal stimuli, etc)
The term "fine" seems confusing here. If you look at the form sticker, it seems apparent that £5 is just the on-delivery postage rate for an unpaid item. Different postal services handle this differently, but it's not unusual that a mailpiece that's lacking sufficient postage will be delivered to the recipient if they pay the postage, and it's also not unusual to make that a higher rate to account for the extra work involved in notifying the recipient and collecting it. Under some postal systems you can do this totally intentionally by marking a mailpiece COD.

Maybe Royal Mail really does call this a fine, but it seems like it's just a typical higher "postage due" rate, thus the still rather nominal amount. Paying is optional for the recipient, they could just ignore the notification and it won't be delivered.

The use of this approach for counterfeit seems sort of unwise considering the accusation involved in counterfeit postage, the USPS returns the piece to the sender in that case. But the items on the sticker make me think that Royal Mail has a general bent towards offering delivery no matter what. USPS would also return to sender if there's no postage at all, assuming the piece doesn't indicate the postage should be paid by the recipient. But you can see that the £5 sticker here is the same one used in that case.

Sometimes the situation is complicated by postal policy, for example UPU policy for international mail tends to strongly prefer attempting to deliver a mailpiece over returning it, so "postage due" stickers seem more common on international mail (particularly since the international rates can be confusing and it's easier to accidentally underpay).
That argument isn't valid for Intel, because when they sell me their sealed chipset, it stops being theirs and becomes mine.
Giddy is maybe the wrong word but I am happy about it. He has acted indifferent during the trial which makes it likely that he could become a repeat offender. This was a strong motivation behind his sentence. If the judge is right in that, and who am I to not believe so, then it is probably correct to remove him from society for 25 years. This is an extremely dangerous individual who may lead hundreds or thousands to financial ruin and is indifferent about it.
Heh, good to know! I guess they're using ports that are just a bit too tight from the factory.
After thinking about it, I think some humans do feel anger towards deadly diseases. If not anger, certainly fear. My aunt died of cancer, and most of our family was pretty mad at "cancer." I remember seeing a Twitter thing going around that was basically a lot of people tweeting things like "fuck cancer" and encouraging others to donate to the cause.

Maybe that's not really "anger," but it kind of feels and seems like it
There's no difference in intent described there. Sam's plan was to pocket investor money for himself (and maybe return some of it, eventually, if his gamble paid off)

I'm pretty sure Madoff returned some money before being found out, too.
The only webview I've seen used under Linux is gtk WebKit, which sucks ass.
I really really hope that stylo/servo will eventually get there.
That was possible 30 years ago. There have been probably been a dozen schemes that tried something like that over the decades, starting with DigiCash from before the WWW existed.

They all failed not because of fees, not because of security concerns, but because even having to think about whether you want to pay for something and how much incurs a mental cost that people avoid.

Free beets cheap by a margin that has nothing to do with how cheap or how easy.
That's not relevant. If you run a gang, beating up old ladies at atm for cash, it's not OK to say "dude there's a queue of willing gang members if you won't do it" because the problem isn't employment or unemployment, the problem is gang violence.

The question at hand is not the employment or unemployment of car sales staff: it's the applicability of mandated FSD demonstration when it's shit technology.
> Why does the stock market reward idiot shit like this?

Because Boeing boosted revenue from $60 to 101 billion during the time frame. And had just a single competitor.

The current stock price is less than half of its 2019 peak.
The issue is, the recipient is paying the fine.

I send you a letter with a fake stamp, you pay.

The £5 is an inconvenience, something you’d pay while tutting “what is the world coming to”.

The sender is none the wiser.

7.3bn letters delivered in 22-23 (https://www.ofcom.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0032/272795/...)

If 0.01% of that are tagged as counterfeit, that’s £3,650,000 in fines.
And the reason for that is simple: game collectibles literally cannot work in any game on any platform except the one they were designed for.

So GPS signals are below the noise floor, but Loran-C are 50 dBm are above it:

* https://timeandnavigation.si.edu/multimedia-asset/loran-day-...

it did cover large populations centres, as well as major marine shipping and air traffic routes. Another reason why it didn't the coverage wasn't global was a lot of transmitters (e.g., the continents of South America and Africa).

With regards to timing accuracy, a paper fro 1992:

> The accuracy of time comparison by means of the reception of common time signals, namely, LORAN-C and Global Positioning System (GPS), is examined. Differences of UTC from the emission times of these two radio wave signals measured at four Japanese stations and one U.S. station are analyzed and compared with the clock comparison reports published by the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures. The accuracy of the time comparison via LORAN-C signals of the northwest Pacific chain is about 3.61 μs and that via GPS is 0.14 μs. The accuracy analysis reveals the existence of systematic errors at the individual stations. In LORAN-C, the most serious error comes from those in the delay time calibration of receiving instruments and estimation of the propagation delay over land. Calibration of the clocks by a portable clock improves the accuracy of the GPS method to the accuracy of the GPS signals.

Two days later, I come back to find this downvoted a lot, even though I meant it literally. I've been a Wikipedia editor for some 10+ years, only a few of us use bots, we're not generally very sophisticated, so the assumptions amused me.
The entire neoliberal ideology needs to be reevaluated at every level of business in this country. We're destroying our skilled labor forces and our economy to pursue short term gains and it's going to have a negative impact on our national security.
Per the article:

> “Going forward, it is mandatory in North America to install and activate FSD V12.3.1 and take customers on a short test ride before handing over the car. I know this will slow down the delivery process, but it is nonetheless a hard requirement.”

Do the customers get a choice in this? It certainly doesn't sound like they do.

You're welcome to hold your own opinion, but imo how you the deliver a message counts just as much, sometimes even more, than the message itself.

If you go up to a client that owes you money, and you say "fuck you, pay me", depending on the business you're in, that's not likely to go as well as if you deliver that same message more professionally.
If your research assumes the outcome of the research it isn't research, it is wish fulfillment.

It is totally disingenuous to claim I am "against science making assumptions". Obviously. Why do you feel the need to lie like that?
Might take the CGI with a grain of salt though. AFAICT the company has existed for 4 years, has 7 employees and no actual office address. They own zero physical assets. Seems most likely they're trying to do just enough to get some patents so they'll be bought out by one of the large offshore service companies and make a nice profit.
They're a creature of the state, you can't practically opt out of Royal Mail. If they're not subject to FOIA then they need to be.
It's not about being good for shareholders. They are far away and generally know nothing about what is good or bad decision in long run. We have replaced human QC with computers in many industries. C-suite cares about company profit, middle management cares about KPI.

It's about maximizing individual management KPI despite being wrong for a company as a whole. Problems are for other guys/gals down the line.

If I need multiple sources to explain it to me, then it is not communicating the information effectively is it? Also, I did Google it and got Reddit telling me that anyone that does not have a left leaning bias is just ignorant of science. Is that what you mean?
… When when using two dramatically different definitions of literacy without mentioning the difference in context.

We’ve seen this several times when definition of literacy A hits 99% people start counting something else.

In many nations, the ability to read a simple sentence suffices as literacy, and was the previous standard for the U.S. The definition of literacy has changed greatly; the term is presently defined as the ability to use printed and written information to function in society, to achieve one's goals, and to develop one's knowledge and potential.[3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literacy_in_the_United_States

Yes there is DNA outside the nucleus. The DNA near each synapse gets modified (epigenetic) based on activity in that physical area so it can produce the proper proteins to preserve the state of that synapse over the long term.

No, SBF did directly steal from FTX users. He used an intermediary (Alameda) to do so. The end result is the same: he stole from customers to enrich himself, his family and his friends.

I'm sure both SBF and Madoff originally thought they would be able to make enough money to cover up the theft.

At some point in the future there should be some IP that could be licensed.

If you're starting out with, say, a $10B endowment there should be investments that could sustain a certain level of operation for quite a long time until that IP license income kicks in. Towards the end of the article they talk about the land that PARC is situated on and how that's now very valuable and will provide a source of income for the new SRI/PARC - so they seem to have lucked out with a real estate investment that they didn't realize at the time would payoff later.
Let's start with some light grateful dead and see how it goes
Sam paid and loaned to himself $2.2B (and another $1B to top execs) out of the $8B that was lost. That doesn't include the Bahamas real estate; trabuccos yacht; celebrity endorsements; stadium naming; or the private planes to deliver amazon packages to the bahamas.

The idea that Sam was just a risky investor is the story Sam wants to tell. But he already told that story in court, and it was rejected.. because the evidence doesn't support it.

I think your criticism is unfair. I didn't know how biological age, and I thought he was probably in his early-mid 20s. Not because he's rich and white, but because he acts, dresses, and cuts his hair like an emotionally immature boy genius right out of college.
