> Society needs to be able to handle the guy who breaks into the cell phone store and was caught on camera in a cost-effective and efficient way.

I think if you were the defendant, you might feel differently about the importance of making your trial cost-effective and efficient vs. competent and robust. Even that guy who is on TV breaking into cell phone stores should have the opportunity to cast doubt in the jury's mind, unless we think it's a good idea to have a separate "efficient" court system for people who are "obviously" guilty.

It’s a token effort to catch the false positives. If you put in no effort you’d start to become overconfident in the guilty assessment and an increasingly larger percent of defendants will be considered guilty even though more of them will in fact be innocent.

Plus there is more to it than guilty/not guilty and the state should not be permitted to take shortcuts.

Do you mean the right to (certain very specific form of) property is somehow an empirically shown fact like the geometry of the earth?

Am I right in guessing that you have inclination towards praxeology?

> I agree not everything has to be property, but some things must.

Why do some things must? Because it leads to more desirable consequences than other options, or because it is some metaphysical truth you're somehow privy to?

The first kind of argument is fine, the latter is just blunt rhetorics. I don't see why the former should be spoiled with the latter.

If it's an attempt to ignore text before it... then why is that text there? Just remove it from context, you're throwing away compute.
The worst is when an asshole is promoted. A supervisor job was offered to a co-worker who was groomed for the job for three years, when the time for promotion arrived, he declined because the money wasn't right for him. Management panicked and promoted an asshole who even they didn't want!

Over the next five plus years this asshole screwed up almost everything he touched. Many logical complaints to upper management and HR were lodged, with no action taken, he always flew just below the "fire" threshold. The management team who promoted him (it was revealed later after the asshole left) wouldn't remove him because of how it would have reflected on them!

Lots of cities were founded in the Americas over the past 10k years.

No major cities have been incorporated in the U.S. since Anchorage in 1914 and Vegas in 1911.

On the other hand, Colombia, Mexico, Canada, the Bahamas, Paraguay, Brazil, and Belize have founded major cities since then.

Why not in the U.S.?

There could be some truth to this based on the vehicle you drive.

The IRS gives a flat per-mile deduction, which is an estimate of fuel, repair, maintenance, and depreciation costs. If your actual vehicle expenses are lower, then you are making more money than your taxable income.

Any examples of this _actually happening_, does the tooling exist?

Well rather than just saying that I'll actually check. Looking at Mermaid, the only thing I can find with regard to accessibility is what Mermaid does by default. No other first or third party tooling.

I just tested that with VoiceOver on their accessibility documentation page, and it does not work well on the page. I can get labels but not the title/description. Pulled some of the charts to their own page, and you get title / description of the chart (if the person who did the mermaid markup decided to add the special accessibility fields), then you can arrow through some of the text internals of the chart, but you get no semantic information.

Quite easily replicable in OPs solution if you're so inclined, and you could even take it further, although it would be a lot of manual effort.
I think interruption comes in at least two modalities:

1. To stop the flow of conversation. This is definitely rude. A manager shutting you down, for example.

2. To facilitate the faster flow of conversation. This is The Church of Interruption; the point of the interrupt is to move the conversation to the next point with less waste.

Some folks when they are speaking perceive these as one and the same, but they are actually quite different. In fact, to one who aligns with The Church of Interruption, drawing out a talking point feels rude -- as if the conversation partner were giving a speech and the rest of us are merely here to listen.

Agreed. Assholes are bad for organizations, but sadly, it's a pretty effective strategy for the asshole.

Over the years, I've observed that you basically need 2 out of the following 3 things to be successful in this world:

* Luck
* Skill
* Propensity for violating social norms (be an asshole, be corrupt, etc.)

Genius assholes are rare but so are geniuses. I think the odds of a genius being an asshole are higher than a below-average person being an asshole.

I also think asshole behavior is a subjective label in many cases. If your culture is not compatible with someone else's, they might be averse to you for no reason and assume you're an asshole, and then any minor encounter can turn into a dispute. Other people are so used to conformity that if you disagree with them, they'll shun you or else shout you down.

> The folks whose light switches are never used or who are even getting them removed.

Eh, I know an anecdote isn't a statistic, but my experience with voice controls is so bad that I've mostly gotten rid of the "smart" parts and gone back to the light switches.

Back when we had Alexa, we'd say "Alexa, Küche aus" ("kitchen off") and it would reply "Ich kann nicht 'Küche' im Spotify finden" (worse, we didn't have Spotify).

Siri is less bad, but it still just randomly fails. I've had two devices in the same room try to respond to the same voice command, one succeeds and the other spins around for a bit and responds with a spoken generic error.

For the voice input keyboard, the error rate is much worse, bad enough that in my experience I might as well have typed one real word and let autosuggest write the remainder of whatever I was not-typing.

> If you knew 100% someone was guilty, why would you defend them?

Ask defense attorneys, I think you'll be surprised at the number of "yes" responses. How do you establish that "everyone knows" someone is guilty? You're assuming the conclusion as true and then reasoning from there. Put yourself in the shoes of a defendant who "everyone knows" is guilty. Would you not still want a robust and aggressive defense?
That article is about the large scale phone record metadata collection program, not PRISM.

If you want good math teachers, you have to make attractive offers that will draw in the best talent. So, let's do some math:

The median price of an existing single-family home in the Califoria Bay Area in February 2024 was $1.25 million. The range of teacher salaries in the Bay Area is $50K - $100K. A reasonable downpayment on that home would be ~$250,000, followed by yearly payments in the range $64K (30-year) to 80K (15-year). Following the 'housing should consume 30% of income' - allowing teachers to have children and buy a car and go on vacations and so on - this would require salaries of $200K - $250K per year under current market conditions. Thus, anyone wanting their own home and a family will probably not be considering a career in teaching - you'd end up as a lifelong two-room apartment renter.

AI tutoring is a great idea - but a tutor isn't a teacher. The job of the teacher is to excite and motivate the students, provide overall guidance and appropriately difficult problem sets for the students to work on. The one-one-one tutor is there to help with the problem sets, especially when students get stuck.

Unfortunately, here in the USA we have a system that values the CEO of McDonalds - which delivers very unhealthy food to the population - at $19 million per year - and teachers are valued at the same rate as garbage truck operators (at least in the Bay Area).

The result is that most students entering higher education need one-two years of remedial math education before being able to grasp the higher math, e.g. vector calculus, linear algebra, complex analysis etc., which is needed for modern engineering and scientific disciplines. This results in competitive disadvantage relative to China and other countries that invest heavily in childhood education.

1.You should definitely just have the argument and decide who is the CEO. Yes, it will be challenging. But understanding who actually makes the final decision about what now will at least let you avoid 100 small arguments. A good CEO will make most of these sorts of decisions in a way that in the end, if they turn out to be bad, you can change course or roll it back. If you can't even agree to try an experimental idea... good luck.

2. Agree roles, responsibilities and expectations, and areas of ownership. If you have good traction and he is responsible for driving growth in the market, it sounds like he is doing reasonably well and should probably stay in charge of making the final decision on growth for now. But do you guys have targets or growth goals in mind? If you do, and you're hitting them... just take the win and move on. If you're not hitting your growth goals then that should be enough for you guys to agree to try something different, whether that's experimenting with different pricing, marketing, product etc. Either way, having areas of the business that you can both exercise some agency / decision making over will make you both feel better. And combining that with concrete targets will give you an objective yardstick to measure whether the existing strategies are working.
IME, I've never seen a situation where `x += y` is preferred over `x.extend(y)`, with the bonus that `extend` works in places where `+=` doesn't, like tuples where reassignment isn't possible.
Recent research in education has actually explored the question. The Center for American Progress published a summary of research findings [1] in January that noted: "High-dosage tutoring is one of the few school-based interventions with demonstrated significant positive effects on both math and reading achievement," so it's a viable solution—if there's funding.

The limitation is price. Many listings for reputable math tutors are greater than $60 USD per hour. If you go by the CAP's minimum for "high-dosage tutoring" of a 30-minute session three times a week, that sums to at least $360 USD per month. Many parents do pay for this for children, but it's an unaffordable expense for many people. There is an initiative to provide free tutoring (via the "Schoolhouse" project founded by Khan Academy's Sal Khan to have volunteer tutors, who are often university students), but it's not yet clear to me whether the quality of volunteer tutors will be sufficient to make a difference in the success of students.

I've also read elsewhere that one of the most important factors in tutoring effectiveness is the frequency of consistently meeting with the tutor. An AI tutor would help with frequency via lowering the price—though then again, there may be more feelings of accountability with meeting a human person at a scheduled time, versus using a software tool consistently.

The whole point of Khan academy is democratizing education. Hiring math tutors for the millions of kids around the world that use Khan academy materials is impossible (so far). There are tons of situations where it is not possible to hire a human math tutor, for reasons of cost, access, time, resource constraints, etc. If a kid in a remote village in Alaska with no math tutors can have access to a world class education through AI whenever they need it, then this is a pretty good solution.

The origin of Khan academy was Sal Khan filming lessons for his younger cousins, it was easier to host the videos on YT than anywhere else. When he realized that other people were watching his videos and learning from them he took a leap of faith, and quit his job to start a non-profit with the goal of providing free educational materials to anyone.

If you find a way to hire and fund thousands or millions of tutors worldwide to provide no charge education, get in touch with Sal Khan, since that's what he has been trying to do for the past 2 decades.
I should have qualified "better". I find Numbers easier to use for basic spreadsheet tasks. Advanced, programming-like tasks are better in Excel, which has many more advanced features. I don't think Numbers is Turing complete, but then again I tend to use Python rather than Excel for advanced math processing.

Word has some features that Pages doesn't have, but they're not commonly used, and if you're doing any kind of page layout, Pages is __much__ easier to work with than MS Word.

Well some are trying to reach the UK, not all. As to why that is, I don't think any of us on HN can confidently state the reason - none of us have surveyed them all and processed the answers. They may be living in poor conditions and (incorrectly) assume the UK is somehow a more welcoming, tolerant place. They may have family, friends or connections in the UK, or they may simply speak English and have some kind of cultural closeness with the country that they don't have with France. However you're showing a bit more about yourself than you might realise, by assuming that they're purely doing it to work illegally.

It should go without saying that moving anywhere is stressful and not something you take lightly. Even if you're comfortable and well off it's not a walk in the park. Those who are crossing the English Channel in boats aren't doing so because they're after an easy life, and god knows they won't get one when they arrive. They've often endured hardships most of us can barely conceive of, and to do all that simply to live outside the system and work illegally? I find it hard to believe.

If the main goal is hardening existing code bases then this Clang proposal is the right approach IMHO.

I think integrating slices "properly" would touch quite a few other areas of the language, which require opinionated design decision by the committee. And committees aren't exactly known for coming up with sensible language design decisions (and looking at C++, I'm fine with the C committee being very conservative).

Basically, if I want an actually "better C" for new code, I use Zig. But C is still a valid option for low-level libraries that need to work everywhere (and of course for tapping into the existing library ecosystem).
