My Grandfather did that (he was 80 at the time), he got upset that his bank would not take a cashier's check from another bank, even after calling the other bank to confirm it was valid.

He asked for his 60k worth of deposit in cash, apparently there are laws from the 30s that if you ask for cash they have to give it to you.

The bank ended up calling in police officer, who then confirmed that my grandfather was in the right, and they gave him the 60k. He stuffed it down his pants and drove to the other bank he used, with the police officer kind enough to follow him.

Funny story, but he is definitely on a list of people that that bank will not do business with.
As a landlord how does one stop people/tenants using "under rated" extension cords ? and therefore causing a fire.

How does one stop tenants using "dodgy" chargers to charge their electric bike or whatever, and the battery bank causes a fire.?

Not meaningfully for the purposes they're being applied here: drones are cheap, and will eventually arrive (if they're not shot down first), and so you can launch a bunch of them and make a credible claim to your people that you've taken the matter seriously, while not actually costing much or risking a huge retaliation in response to your alpha strike.
Some aspects have improved, and others have declined.

Home entertainment has more options, we spend more time at the TV and computer.

Other aspects of life have declined.

It's challenging because there are qualitative and aesthetic aspects to the process, so it takes some discussion to come up with a good understanding.

Regardless CPI is misleading. The amount of time spent working over a lifetime to support the family and cover taxes has grown significantly, at a higher rate than CPI suggests.
This is a serious incident and requires serious attention, it's a shame this thread is nothing but an ideological cesspool.

I'm probably being loose in terminology.

I assumed that to gain this speed, that it was a little closer to the metal than a VM like Java. That it must have some kind of pass through to allow commands to run on the local HW, not just emulated in a VM. So like a VM in that you can compile to it, but it would execute natively.

From the FAQ.

"WebAssembly aims to execute at native speed by taking advantage of common hardware capabilities available on a wide range of platforms. It is a low-level assembly-like language with a compact binary format that runs with near-native performance"

And when looking at the Use Cases, it seems to be trying to do a lot more than javascript.

I own a model 3 with FSD. One of the key realizations I had after a few months with it is that self-driving at the moment is like supervising a newbie teenager driving. You have to stay alert and watchful, but also don’t have the direct control. When you are teaching a new driver it’s worth it.

Honestly, it’s a lot less work to just do it yourself.

This is one of those engineering situations where the 0.0001% edge cases matter, and could lead to fatalities. I don’t know if any of the implementations are up to the mark. FSD isn’t.

If people want cheaper food, they should eat less meat or no meat at all. It blows my mind how cheap it is to eat a vegetarian diet. Dried black beans are $1/pound. That is a lot of food for very little money! Rice is super cheap. Potatoes are super cheap.

If you rely on staple vegetarian food for the bulk of your calories and then “decorate” with fresh fruits and vegetables, you can eat very well for not a lot of money.

> Maybe that shouldn't even be exposed to the programmer. The programmer-level questions are, is it copyable, is it mutable, and is it alias-free? Whether it's passed as a copy or a pointer is really an issue for the compiler.

The problem here is the definition of "call by reference". In C++ that means being able to change the value outside of the function taking the reference.

void setByReference(float& v) { v = 123; }

float v;
setByReference(v);
cout << v; // prints 123

That feature of being able to pass by reference doesn't exist in say, JavaScript. you can only pass by value in JavaScript. The types of values in JS are undefined, null, boolean, number, string, reference-to-function, reference-to-object. You can never pass anything by reference, only by value.

And that's where it gets confusing. If you have a variable who's value is a reference-to-object you pass the value. The value being "reference-to-object"

To re-iterate

const n = 1; fn(n); // call by value, type of value = number
const s = 'abc' fn(s); // call by value, type of value = string
const o = {} fn(o); // call by value, type of value = reference-to-object

In C++ though, you pass the a reference to the variable itself (in the example above). That's called call-by-reference.

I can see why the OP feels it's muddled.
>the term itself is a fake label that is basically only used by white people and elite non-whites who must navigate white spaces and institutions.

That's overly reductive and dismissive. An alternative POV is that language changes over time to introduce terminology that is now relevant due to some new context, shift in social dynamics, demographic changes, etc.

There are certainly people who identify as PoC in some of these contexts who who don't fit neatly into the two buckets you prescribed.

>My whole family is non-white immigrants, and I never even heard the term “PoC”

See above. Additionally, the history of race in the U.S. certainly does not impact every race identically. The phrase PoC does have a particular meaning and intent to describe a dynamic with certain groups that also have socioeconomic and other historical properties in common.

In any case, the term was likely never intended to be taken literally, hence to include your experience. But, that does not delegitimize it.

I would encourage you to consider that your family's experience as immigrants is distinctly different for many reasons that significantly impact your worldview. Not the least of these is a desire to identify with the majority in the nation to which you've voluntarily immigrated. This seems quite natural to me. But, for some, this impulse sometimes extends to a certain "fervor" to de-identify with other groups (e.g. PoCs) and their perspectives.

I've seen many of your comments along the lines of this one and it strikes me that there appears to be very little attempt to empathize with other experiences unlike yours. Further, your perspective frequently adopts the biased and somewhat punitive elements of some majority positions; for instance, concern that affirmative action discriminates against Asians in spite of the well-known data that shows everyone is far more disadvantaged by legacy and wealth.

So, it's also true that language can take on political connotations, especially in today's climate. And, that has certainly happened with this phrase. The same dynamics that animate your interpretation of affirmative action, etc. also make you disdainful of the PoC label.

One fun anecdote, a while back I was making an image of three women drinking wine in a fancy garden for a tarot card, and at the end of the prompt I had "lush vegetation" but that was enough to tip the women from classy to red nosed frat girls, because of the double meaning of lush.

Guess you're from the UK? I think it's one of the only places in the world that does that.

No, usually not, though better power strips will have one. But you don't need to go over the specified amps to cause a fire, there are multiple places that could overheat - extension cable, connections, solder points - while still being under the fuse rating if this thing is running at max power for a long time. The main job of a fuse is to protect against power surges / short circuits.

This happens already, today. There are dozens of reasonable questions you can raise based on this fact - but I don't think it's obvious that the failures at the end of training can majoritarily be identified by pre-training metrics.

Some countries allow any student to take the first two years of medical courses, and then impose restrictions on the following years. This seems a relatively fair system; you can imagine someone persevering over many years to attain the requisite knowledge - but this person would not have had the opportunity if there were a pre-medical school filter
The only sane microservice amalgamation I worked on was with Elixir/Phoenix. It was event driven and that was the key. I think event driven microservices are an extemely powerful architecture but it’s still the early days for them until we can get really good open source support for replays, sectioning off events from a period, and lots of utilities like that as well as figure out all of the best practices.

I’ve built monoliths but never at scale, but don’t see why they wouldn’t have scaled incredibly well. I have built macroservices that have scaled super well (5ish services IIRC).
Sure, but something like mail order 'freshly roasted' within your local country accounts for that and you're good to go; if I come back to a bag that's 18d post-roast from holiday or something I'll definitely taste the difference from the 2-3d at which I'd typically receive it. (Not in a good way.) Paying the surely enormous premium for roasted-in-France and zero-emission-sailboat-delivered coffee in NYC just doesn't make any sense to me.

Yes, competition works for factors that the majority of consumers are aware of, like price and speed. But it doesn't work for enforcing net neutrality.

If you model it, how could competition work to protect a YC startup with 1,000 or 10,000 users?

You can't start an alternative ISP at that scale, so it's unthinkable that a new ISP would emerge just to serve that throttled startup's pissed off users.

And again, only a tiny minority of users would correctly attribute throttling-induced failure to the ISP. Most will attribute it to the new startup being janky.

Even or those who do correctly attribute it, what are they going to do? Convince everyone they want to use this new product with to switch ISPs?

“OK, but are we sure that we couldn’t just substitute a huge quantity of cheap systems for the expensive ones? Quantity has a quality all its own, and if we throw enough drones at a carrier, it’s going to die. Again, no. In theory, you could overwhelm a carrier by throwing drones at it, but for cases where the “drones” aren’t just cruise missiles, this is like attempting to break down a door by throwing mashed potatoes at it.”
I recently ran a whole bunch of tests on this.

There's a second meter that tracks the irrigation usage and that's how they subtract the sewer charges for irrigation. Of course you have to pay extra for the meter to be installed and there's often an additional "standing charge" for that extra meter in every bill, but it's usually since the sewer rates are quite high, it's worth doing.

My municipality uses 75% of the water usage (minus the reading from the meter used for irrigation) as the basis for the sewer charge.

There's been a critical spotlight on Australia's medical industry lately. Like gouging the medicare system or skirting regulations to profiteer off the insane demand for semiglutide weight loss drugs like Ozempic (couple of links below).

If you were a young, idealistic doctor (or an experienced idealistic doctor) I could imagine feeling incredibly disheartened when you see this kind of thing going on around you.

For the regulators I think the challenge they have is how to minimise the damage of the "bad" medical professionals (or weed them out of the system entirely) while not crushing the spirit of the good ones. I certainly don't know the answer.

>1. Smart are anything BUT cheap hence the low sales and the losses.

The price is irrelevant to the benefits they provide in the eyes of EU regulations. You can not look at the 4 Billion in losses while ignoring European laws. Pure luxury car makers are near impossible to operate. Which is why Aston Martin bought a cheap Toyota design to make into a small city car.

>2. The losses are quoted were before the Geely partnership.

And? Mercedes lost exactly the same amount of money the Chinese did. In no way is this more of a loss for China than it is for Germany.

>The question is which is more productive, the Chinese one, or the German/EU one.

The Chinese has massive advantage when it comes to the cost of materials, energy and labor which is why near identical cars there are insanely cheap. If you consider as an output of the car industry also the social benefits, then obviously German car companies are a great place to work, especially compared with conditions in China.
Perhaps true, though I suspect the public will demand higher safety than humans to feel comfortable with these on the roads, even if such fears could be irrational.
I think it was more "hiding" as vendored code rather than really being in that category. The git repo never contained that "vendoring", as the m4/gettext.m4 file doesn't exist autoreconf just copies one from a system store, (which on my machine never calls the tainted BUILD_TO_HOST macros in the first place, which also doesn't exist in the upstream xz git repo).

"Vendoring" by copying untracked files into the tarball seems discourteous to the definition. It seems to rely on the "possibly odd" behavior of autoreconf to allow files that happen to have the same name to override system-installed versions? I guess on the belief that local definitions can override them is useful? But that certainly bit them in the ass here. As to get a "completely" clean autoconf rebuild it looks like you have to delete matching files manually.
That's kind of adorable, in an annoying sort of way
More problematic than this is that there are many images on Adobe Stock that were stolen and put up for sale by parties entirely unrelated to the artists who produced them. Worse, they don’t make it easy to report image theft and generally aren’t responsive when reached out to about these issues.
