It does not. VW products probably have the lowest safety of all the German products. BMW probably being the highest.

Watch the president of the NTHSA talk about how his M5 saved his life.

Porsche is the safest of all as it is statistically the least likely to get in an accident by a significant margin (even accounting for per mile driven)

… that being said VW is likely much safer than your average American cost-cutter econobox crossover made of plywood and newspaper.
I'm not sure how it is for the companies, but as universities involved in EU projects, the amount of bureaucracy is just overwhelming and there are so many nonsensical requirements, that you don't get to do any interesting work. Overall, it barely seems worth it.

I agree that the problem is not entirely to be blamed on the respective governments. The lack of private investment is a fundamental part of the puzzle. I have been trying to figure out why private capital loves to take huge risks in the US but is so financially conservative in Europe and I am not yet satisfied with the answers I get.
/Years/ ago, I tweeted something about how companies like Uber and Lambda were privatizing public services. ISAs specifically seem like a privatization of taxes.

I bought a scale a number of years back and, yes, I pretty much universally use it for baking--it's just easier as well as being more repeatable/accurate--and rarely for other types of cooking.
The suffering depends on how lucky you are though; if you are well off (inherited or self made) and/or born in the right country you have the dope to not have the suffering. Eventually the dope to end it, whenever that may be. Meaningless cannot be helped; the universe is dark and vast and nothing ‘cares’ on any larger scale than your immediate family/friends, and even they lose interest, if they really had any to begin with.
I wonder if these things are somewhat caused by systems that need referrals.

HN is going to select for a very small subset of the population, so unfortunately people's experiences have to be interpreted in that light.

A massive chunk of my caseload is the direct result of people not listening to basic instructions. Between people not listening and people who don't understand shockingly basic fundamentals of health, you become jaded.

Add to that the active disincentives to doctors really digging into cases, and we end up where we are. It feels much of my knowledge goes unused and wasted.

As an aside, I have messed around with chat gpt 4 for how well it can mimic what I know. My personal experience is that I can see how it would impress non-medically trained people, but to my eyes it has a long way to go. It struggles to accurately rank differentials. Also once you press deeper into decision making it gets really scary. It was consistently presenting treatment plans that would have killed patients if followed. I would love more than anything to have AI cut down some of our work but I was really disappointed with how it currently performs. Hopefully improvements keep coming.
I think measuring by mass is almost certainly more precise in theory, but in practice sometimes measuring by volume is easier to do, and therefore can be more accurate in practice sometimes. Most of the arguments about actual composition of ingredients (hydration of flour for example) and so forth can be extended to volume as well. Baking is also precise but it's not complex chemical synthesis.

So I could flow with his attitude.

What I've decided for myself is that the mass versus volume measurement really matters when the ingredient "measurable unit" size is very large compared to the amount needed for the recipe. So for something like granulated cane sugar in a muffin recipe, using mass versus volume probably won't matter very much, because the individual sugar crystals you are "counting" are very tiny compared to the amount you'd use in a recipe. There's probably going to be a bigger difference due to your impatience or the scale accuracy or whatnot than using volume versus mass. However, for something like whole walnuts, mass is going to be a lot more precise because there's potentially a lot of change between adding another 1 or 2 walnuts given the 1/3 cup you might need, they can shift around, etc.

At least that's where I've come down on it for myself.

> A company should have every right to deny service

Plenty of utility companies are already being forced to provide service. As the EDPB opinion says, a lot of big tech is

> decisive for participation in social life or access to professional networks, even more so in the presence of lock-in or network effects

> Untargeted advertising pays 90+% less than targeted advertising

I don't think that such a large difference is rational. "Untargeted" advertising can still be based on the content being viewed, just not on surveilling the viewer.

> If they lose money by serving a user content because they denied targeted advertising, they should be able to deny them service or have them pay up.

As I understand it the opinion does not categorically rule this out

> Controllers should ensure that the fee is not such as to inhibit data subjects from making a genuine choice

That is why NOYB also focuses[0] on the fact the the fee is disproportionate:

I highly recommend the book Causality and Modern Science by Mario Bunge for a thorough and scientifically grounded treatment of the philosophical problems of causality and determinism. This article seems to be going in an interesting direction with respect to those ideas but I can't quite follow it.
well ... I believe that this pencil on my desk did evolve over thousandtrillion years so you should do. We don't know why this simple pencil did evolve but somehow this did happen. Just believe and at this time don't be Mr Spock.
It is a matter of scale, it is essential to measure accurately for commercial products that do not tolerate loss of bread/pizza etc. For home baking you have many challenges, from the oven temperature (less than ideal and the dutch oven is meant to simulate commercial oven conditions and temperatures at home) to protein content of flour. I do not measure anything for baking bread or pizza because I use it as therapy not as a chore.I bake pizza with love, by taking my time and adding the best ingredients I can get, from wheat germ to best quality flour and fresh Mozzarella. The family has voted, my pizza is better than any delivery they have ordered.
This isn’t the same type of school, but Purdue was an early experimenter with ISAs. Sounds like as of 2022 they’d paused new enrollments. [0]

As I recall, some critiques were that it was only deemed viable for a small range of STEM majors, and narrows the mission of the institution toward building earning power vs. providing a well-rounded education, being an intellectual/research hub for the community, etc.

The goal seems to be: "Virtual Fugaku provides a way to run software developed for the supercomputer, unchanged, on the AWS Cloud". Is AWS running A64FX's? Is there more info on all the details of this somewhere? I think it is a compelling goal to have portability across compute and am curious how they are going about it and what tradeoffs they've made. Software portability is one level of hard and performance portability is another. I wish we could get an OCI spec for running a job that could fill this purpose
That simply is not true, you do not understand the amount of influence the Chaebols have over Korea.
I agree. Baking is for me increasingly like the rest of cooking— based on feel and adaptation, particularly where variable ingredients like eggs and fruit are involved that can vary in size/composition and necessitate corresponding adjustments to the amounts of flour and sugar.

All that to say, the moisture/volume analysis is interesting from a theory point of view and would perhaps help achieve a deeper understanding of the fundamentals, but at least for me baking is largely driven by instinct and that seems to have served me well.
That immediately came to mind when I saw this article.
Microkernels have pros and cons, but that isn't one.
I can attest to that. Painting doors and then watching the result is akin to watching a good painting/desktop background for too long... as time passes you start to notice the irregularities. Like the girl's hand is overly big, or her legs are exaggerated.
Just for reference: you are replying to someone who spent 3 years at AWS (Professional Services)….

I can tell you just from digging into the publicly available videos let alone some of the not publicly available information that you are greatly underestimating the complexity and costs of Netflix’s architecture.

You can even spend some time watching some of the interviews about Netflix’s transition from their own data centers to AWS and their reasons.

And before you accuse me of being a fanboy or shill. I got Amazoned last year. I have no love loss for Amazon as a former employee
This thread looks to have fallen off front page, fair enough I suppose as it doesn't gratify any sort of intellectual curiosity...

For those who are still here: do any of you pay for news? If so can you share your criteria for how you determine which outlets are appropriate to support directly?

How can I ensure the news I read (or pay for) is not involved in contracting with censorial organizations like GDI?

I think the real problem is that it doesn't permit responsive layouts for different screen sizes and orientations.
Yeah that’s not how it works. Fitness is not determined for every single attribute.

For example, observation A might be maladaptive, but it is caused by gene B which also causes observation C, which does provide an advantage.
I home educated too, and one of the big advantages is that it creates more opportunities to talk to them about things like this.

Which church exactly says that? Only a fringe group of American evangelicals. I have never come across even them saying "no matter what" although there are probably a few real lunatics who do.

You're correct that you can't conclude that evolution is perfection/optimized, but it's also not correct to say it is random. The genetic variation is random, but natural selection is very much not random[1][2].

> > A company should have every right to deny service.

> Pretty sure that's legal and Meta could do it if they wanted to.

It isn't entirely that blank & white. They can't deny service for refusing to let them do something you have a legal right to refuse to let them do. They can refuse service for refusing to pay, but the relevant laws don't allow giving up your privacy rights to be equated to paying. The law doesn't allow you to “pay” for things with your human rights (of which it considers privacy one).

This leads to “pay or no service” being okie dokie, but “pay or give up right or no service” (or just “give up right or no service”) not being.

This partly comes from a desire not to create a new underclass, with some able to pay to maintain their rights and the others effectively losing them because they can't afford other options. There would be a two class system anyway (those that can pay and those that don't have the service), but not having access to facebook is not seen as threatening like not having one of your human rights (as defined by relevant law) is.
Agreed - they’re playing house.

It’s tragic, but also a little amusing how people copy the outside looks without understanding the inside value.
> It’s ironic that you’re talking about entitlement when the EU is more or less telling meta to provide its services for free.

No. Facebook can paywall their services.

What they condition the use of their services while respecting user's privacy to payments. It is like EU fighting against a criminal organization that offer "protection services" if you don't want them to burn your shop.

> Some grids are empty because it would not make sense for them to exist. For example, a very moist bread (0.60) with a low butter content would be airy and tasteless.

Eh? A simple baguette recipe - water, flour, starter and salt - has no fat and more moisture than this. And is very tasty. Wholemeal sourdough recipes are wetter still.
Funny thing is that this textbook can be easily found on LibGen. I do not know a lot about LLM datasets, but they probably include books from these shadow libraries, right ?
Well for one, Europe is conservative because it's more into protecting the wealth of the old gentry, the old families who used to run the continent, rather than disrupting it to build new wealth for others, therefore is a lot more risk adverse and instead just rentseeks and monetizes what they have like tourism and valuable real estate .

And secondly, the US can afford to outspend Europe at VC funding since it's not spending actual earned money from taxes, blood sweat and tears, but "monopoly money" they could keep printing for free as they own the credit card for the world reserve currency.
TLDR: They're telling the story of the boat crews that lay and repair all of the submarine fiber optic cable and puts a human face behind it all.

Imo we shouldn't expect opinionated desktop environments like GNOME (and maybe Cosmic) to be directly comparable along objective lines. When desktop environments are inflexible/opinionated, they can be well-executed but still a poor fit for some users.

Cosmic isn't trying to be a GNOME clone but to present an alternative vision. So if stock GNOME is lacking for you, Cosmic is an exciting alternative that may suit your needs as it matures. But if you're happy with GNOME, that doesn't necessarily have anything to do with Cosmic's design.

I don't think it's worth declaring what things are really about. There can be various factors involved. It's more likely to be it costs way more to make as nice a device that people want, that's also repairable. How many people would pay that premium when they're never going to service it anyway?

Hi theodorejb!

The article did not take the time to do a deep dive into feather evolution so it could focus specifically on the topic of how marvelous modern feathers are. However if you are interested in the fascinating topic of the evolution of feathers there are some great resources available.

For a quick skim, this paper is quite good:

https://www.cell.com/trends/ecology-evolution/abstract/S0169...

But for deeper dive, this book is quite excellent

I hope you enjoy these resources,

Cheers!

There are multiple ways of dealing with it. Romeo and Juliet style age of consent laws for example. Not treating teenagers who do something stupid the same way as adults who distribute child porn.
Building a Cloud Agnostic Infrastructure
Minor player from US perspective maybe since both are geographically far from you, but russia keeps consistently threatening to nuke all European cities (last time they told we need to expect 250 million casualties), they wage war that top russian leadership repeatedly stated ends when they reach Atlantic ocean. This won't and shouldn't be ignored.

Now we all know at this point what relationship russia has generally with truth, but for imminent threat (next few decades), we worry at murderers on our doorstep and stating openly they want to enslave and kill us, rather than something remote that may be a problem in few decades, maybe. Imminent military/existential threat > economical competition, always. China ain't exporting despotism, I am not aware of a single country falling into this category. russia on the other hand, almost 100 years of consistent achievements in that space.

This also comes from past and quite recent experience - eastern part of Europe was enslaved by soviets/russia for 4 decades. I've grown up in one such place, its destroyed for generations, and its not something I'll ever forgive them. China? Nothing.

You just can't compare these threats. Sure we are aligned with US as much as we can, but US acts in its own priorities, which sometimes are directly against our own. US spies on us, wages trade wars with us. US has Trump. And US is currently giving a gigantic FU with blocking help to Ukraine, we all know and see daily consequences, and we all know Europe's security from Russia ain't top US priority now. So lets be a bit honest here.
She's saying that the alleged Oct. 7th rapes (or at least their characterization as widespread) are a hoax, echoing previous hoaxes. Without wading in too deeply, I do think that the fog of war makes conclusions difficult, and an investigation after all this is over is warranted. I do also think it's very disingenuous to point to rape as a crime exclusive to Hamas when sexual assault of Palestinian prisoners happens regularly in Israeli jails.

Suffice it to say, the statement above doesn't disqualify the speaker, any more than someone saying, "The deaths in Gaza are a tragedy, but all I care about is that the hostages come home."
