This demonstrates that Canadian democracy does not rule according to the will of the people - there was never a referendum on whether the government should hide the truth from citizens.

> Of the 46 houses bought in Burnaby, staff found 72 per cent were purchased by new arrivals to Vancouver who reported an average total family income of just $16,000.

Immigrate to Canada, enjoy all of its world class (at least formerly) social services, but pay no income taxes. Also not the will of the people.

Hanlon's Razor seems to be the guiding principle of journalists, and the general public in general. Gosh, I wonder if our educational curriculum (or lack of specific content) has anything to do with this state of affairs. Note also who it is that determines curriculum.

while I (attempt to) reread Berne, here's a possibly interesting Victorian trichotomy (probably in different terms than I give here):

I think this is a little off, in that the data isn't coming from the various government entities or at least isn't required to be provided. I know at least in California most of the info is gathered by third parties using FOIA requests. It's also not associated with a SSN and just typically gives the annual compensation with limited categories. The Work Number on the other hand gets paycheck level details. Considering the data would be useless without a unique identifier, SSN is sent with it. Using The Work Number data, you could see pay period granularity changes to their compensation.

You are right here. It is possible to emulate a card using mobile phones. We've been able to shim/emulate any card for much longer.

The thing is: To connect to the payment system you need a certificate. And you simply don't get it unless you can prove that you have all kinds of security measures applied.

For android and apple, the actual payment stuff runs inside a isolated little micro-controller which has been certified and is temper proof/protected. This little thing is fortified so far that it will destruct itself when you try to open it up. There are alarm meshes, light sensors and much more inside the chip to detect any intrusion just to protect the certificate.

If you don't have that security, the payment providers will deny you their certificate, plain and simple.

You can build your own thing using card emulation via apps, but you will take all the risks.

How it works in practice is the following: These temper proof micro-controllers can run java-card code. You can write an applet for them, get it installed (if you have the key from apple/google - not easy). Then install it and you have a two-way communication: Your applet inside the secure world communicating with the payment world, and your ordinary mobile app showing things on the screen.

But unions don't automatically imply seniority based wages, or even uniform wages. The SAG and the NFL players unions are the most obvious examples.

Also the last two years should have taught the tech rank and file that the good times don't always last. As much as we'd like to believer we all are 10x rockstar devs, the reality is that an overwhelming majority are not. Further, even being the 'best of the best' engineer is no guarantee that you won't be screwed over by management. Woz is a highly visible example and I guarantee you that the odds of anyone on HN(let alone the overall tech industry) being a better engineer are essentially zero.

Do you know of any private company that moves that slowly?

Because there's stuff out there (software, entities such as Google) that assume the same level of trust in a subdomain vs its parent and siblings. Therefore if something bad ends up being served on one subdomain they can distrust the whole tree. That can be very bad. So you isolate user provided content on its own SLD to reduce the blast radius.

Maybe GP has just never taken one to/from the airport? It's really not that common to do that in many places outside of the US. In many European cities, public transit is often the fastest way to get to/from the city center from an airport.

Elsewhere, Uber is just not great compared to taxis, and supply can be minimal:

I've had to take an Uber recently for work [1] , and I effectively had a choice between one driver that would ask me to please cancel from my side because they didn't want to go to the airport, and another driver already at the airport (with Uber blatantly lying that they'd be here to pick me up in "10 minutes", when the ride takes 30 without traffic).

[1] Expensing a taxi invoice is more of a hassle. On top of that, often the card terminal mysteriously and completely unexpectedly breaks down at the end of the ride in taxis in some places, and expensing cash payments is even harder.
I know, if you can't pay the fine don't do the crime, but realistically income is not a constant and is much too temporal to be useful here. A decent income year last year, and little income this year, means you might have no hope of paying the fine.

Why not a fraction of the current value of gross assets at the time of investigation? This a much better reflection of someone's financial standing, is a greater deterrent, ensures that the fine is actually payable, and deals with the issue of the rich not having much in the way of income.

NT4 was reasonably rarer due to hardware compatibility issues as well as software compatibility. Windows 2000 brought great change there, but it only really finished with the very soon after XP.

The organizations that really needed NT for various reasons (engineering software, SMP, higher security settings, etc.) did move as early as NT4, indeed. Also, non-trivial amount of Alpha workstations with NT4 (as well as Pentium Pro ones)

Usually they all get paid more or less the same since compensation is directly tied to the job title/rank and other public criteria. This information (in aggregate) shouldn't ever be non-public (under any circumstances) due to obvious reason. So even if your specific salary/wage is not published anyone who knows what's your specific title/job would be able to estimate it somewhat accurately.

Not true. If the accuracy of human debate had this much room of error all the time when two subject matter experts are talking, we would not have the progress of civilisation that we have now.

Room for error for sure is but at the very frontier of the knowledge where really no one knows what is what. There, yes people can be and have been blatantly wrong.
I wonder how many websites declare the Google Tag Manager a technical necessity (as part of the consent layers). In my world, it is a tool to manage different tracking and ad tools, far from being technically necessary to host a website.

>I suspect an LLM that supports audio input would outperform most drive through window attendants.

I think this would lead to a lot of really frustrating errors in a food ordering context. In my experience LLM speech recognition is really prone to inserting or removing negation words, which can really shift the meaning. This is a problem in any speech recog use case but there's often sufficient context to understand when the error has occurred. In a list of what a customer does / doesn't want, there is no additional context to fill the gap.

"Cheeseburger with ketchup mustard onion no tomato" -> "Cheeseburger with ketchup mustard onion tomato" or the inversion

You can correct this to some degree with an order confirmation step but the error rate would mean a lot of customers need to make a correction, which adds time to the process and increases customer frustration.

At that point I'd rather the drive thru have a touchscreen and just let me input the order directly, versus having to argue with an LLM about which ingredients i want included or excluded.
This isn't even remotely what the article is about, please try and have at least a cursory read of the content you're commenting on.
Do you think this can be useful for a computational algebra system?
This is nifty, but not really congruent with my understanding of the "noisy neighbor" phenomenon. This work seems to reveal when there are more runnable threads than CPUs, leading to tasks waiting to run. The way I use "noisy neighbor" is that it is a concurrent task that trashes some microarchitectural resource, forcing the victim process to use more CPU time. For example, a process on another CPU core in the same cache domain that trashes all of the shared cache lines, or fills up all the load/store slots, or that uses more thermal power causing a global clock speed slowdown.
It's not a defense; just a (much) more grounded contextualization, in my view.

This amounts to "other people are bad too".

It's also not whataboutism. To suggest that it is amounts to, well, an "either/or" response.

All I'm saying is: it seems you're trying to essentialize the woe and evil the world in a way I don't find valid or useful.
I’ve been fascinated with Indian history (mostly for selfish reasons to understand my lineage). My oversimplified summary has been,
India has had 3 major golden ages in its history.

The earliest was during the Mauryan Period. This is the age Dalrymple is talking about, the time of Aryabhatta, the popularization of Buddhism, arguably the time when most of the Indian epics were written (dating them has become notoriously political to the point that discerning the truth is hard now). This is the age Indian nationalists stress on, and the left wing tries to ignore. This age declines because the empire got too big, lost control and slowly disintegrated.

The second age was during the Islamic golden age for India which the right tries to ignore and left stress on. My general sense is that there was a golden age of architecture, poetry and arts and probably not so much in Science. The Taj Mahal for instance was built during this time. This age declined mostly due to wars, the Mughal rulers were never successful in fully unifying India, even to the extent the Mauryans did. They fought consistent wars against pockets of resistance in the South, and towards the end began losing these wildly expensive wars (leading to a brief reign by Shivaji)

The third golden age which no one wants to admit (left or right) is the British Golden age. There really was a renaissance in Indian thought in arts, science during British rule. This was when Indian history was “rediscovered”, first by British orientalists and then by mostly Indian Bengalis. CV Raman won the Nobel prize in science, Tagore won the Nobel prize in literature, Ramanujan etc, the names are numerous. The British rule also was the largest and most stable unification of India till the modern times. After 1850s there were almost no pockets of military resistance against the British rule. The British age declined with WW1 and WW2, and ended with Indian independence.

Post independence was not a smooth going party. If you came to India during 1980s, you could argue independence had been a disaster with everything getting worse post independence. But since 1990s economic liberalization India has a new ish golden age with unique characteristics. Who knows how long this will continue and when it will inevitably end
Curate Your Twitter Feed with Grok
It's fair to say and, on some level, I like the idea of scaling fines to lower income more than scaling them to higher incomes. The marginal utility of wealth goes down as you get more anyway.

I also think that, if you wanna critique the efficacy of fines in metting out justice, you need to go further than you do here. Scaling the fine tries, imperfectly, to match the punishment to the circumstances of the offender. We could imagine an even better system that more perfectly reacts to misbehavior, but exactly what that would be seems hard and this is a sensible adjustment to an existing system.

Founder mode. :cool:

^/s I agree with all of your thoughts, especially:

> great when voluntary and self-driven and terrible if mandated

It's an interesting psychological thing: No matter how easy or even comfortable a job is, if you have to be there at X time for Y hours it's now work. It's the scheduling that kills all the joy.

Even if it's your favorite hobby that you do everyday anyway, but now you have to do it for someone at a specific time, even if they agree to pay you for it. Why does it now suck? Add in other layers like: Do it this specific way, do it in a group of others with competing opinions, do it in a distracting office 1 hour away, etc. and it quickly becomes the polar opposite of what you previously considered to be a rewarding hobby or skill.

On the flip side it can be the hardest work in the world but if I do it on my own terms when I feel like it (sometimes I really want to fix something) - then you don't even have to pay me! It's my pleasure. Glad I could help.

Funny how that works. To truly "love what you do" in a career sense is trickier than it seems, because it often involves tolerating a lot of peripheral stuff that everyone naturally hates like commuting or having a bad manager (among other things). For the capable, it takes changing things at your job to get as close to imitating the fun hobby as possible (tech, meeting schedule, hours, flex time) - so that you can actually think and perform from a place of comfort and well-being (why every manager is not perfecting this art is beyond me).
They do use streetview data to improve mapping, particularly for things like speed limits (like you mentioned) and other signage (street names, identifying which intersections have stop signs, etc.)
IIRC in Norway at least everyone (who lives there) can check it but your name will be recorded and visible to that person.
But the point of the fine in this case is clearly not restitution, but disincentive. Justice in this case is ensuring everyone is equally incentivised to follow a law that society thinks everyone should follow.

If the goal were only to ascribe economic harms to certain actions and reclaim those costs, it would be called a tax or a fee, not a fine.
Should some people be able to drive recklessly just because they can't afford to pay speeding tickets? I don't see what problem this is trying to solve. Is there an epidemic of wealthy people speeding and running over school children? In America you get points for speeding and your insurance goes up (more expensive car, more expensive insurance) and after a number of points you lose your license.

Wealthy people don't break the law any more than less wealthy people even though the naive view of the economic costs of crime would have you think they would.
Have you tried writing to your local airport authority and asking them the reason? Or are you automatically assuming that there's a grand conspiracy at play against you?

In most cases it's a simple capacity problem. Taxis have to be hailed physically, and there are already reserved taxi stands at every airport. There's no reason for that to change.
Back in the day when I used to live in a multi-apartment building someone was being so loud as to wake me up in the middle of the night and I could never figure out who it was. It was an old building so the noise would transfer across many floors/walls. I was trying to come up with an engineering solution to this but in the mean time I got a new job and had to move anyway. Probably a microphone array would work to triangulate the source, but it would also be hard to explain to the police.

It's not really that I think C-suites all over the world are savants in current technologies. I will say that I might be coming at it from a biased perspective though where most my higher ups are exactly the kind where they do have actual work experience in tech.

Rather, it's just that after multiple hackathons and several greenlit internal projects, there isn't a single one I wouldn't find an utter dogshit waste of money, time and effort. So while maybe we're just an unfortunate bunch who somehow all belong to that non-creative group, I struggle to imagine an actually good application of these technologies that are somehow all just being dismissed prematurely by those evil bean counters up there.
I know the pin looks small compared to the cable you'd run to a wall socket for a 10A current - but those cables are a lot longer these copper pins, and cables are sized with the assumption the copper will be coated in insulation then coated in another layer of insulation then installed into a wall full of insulation.

A 10mm copper pin measuring 0.6mm x 0.6mm pin would have half a milliohm of resistance. Even if you ran your entire 5A load through a single pin, it would only have to dissipate 13 milliwatts.

I'd be more worried about the PCB traces if I were you - 2oz copper is only 0.07mm thick :)
