I remember listening to an NPR show where a doctor talked a lot about this, and how all of the shaming of co-sleeping might contribute. She claimed a non-obese, non intoxicated parent sleeping with the child on a bed isn't all that dangerous. That same situation on a couch is deadly. But the messaging is more abstinence than harm reduction, so all many people hear is "co-sleeping is dangerous"

Consequently, exhausted parents accidentally fall asleep on the couch holding their babies when they would have been better off just lying down and napping.
I'm beginning to think maintaining competitive markets requires broader criteria. Like any of super-majority share of: market volume, revenue within a market, influence over market, consumer harm, significant reduction in number of competitors.
I posted a longer comment elsewhere in this thread, but in short: prior to the 20th century, everyone in the Middle East were Ottoman citizens, had been for hundreds of years, and the "other [countries] in the Middle East" you reference didn't exist even as provinces of the Ottoman Empire. Mizrahi Jews were Middle Eastern native Jewish citizens of the Ottoman Empire and had lived in the region for thousands of years, predating the Ottoman Empire, and there had not been a meaningful distinction between "Palestine" and "not Palestine" in the empires that ruled there since the fall of the Jewish kingdom (or to some degree the fall of the Roman Empire, when still none of the people you term "native" yet lived there). Palestine was created in the 20th century by the British and existed for less than a few decades as a British colony; effectively no one is a native of "Palestine," they are natives of the region and empires that predated the British, which includes the Jewish natives of the region and empire that predated the British. After the new territories were carved up post-WWI, (some) of those native Jews moved to Israel (although some were already living there and had been for thousands of years) due to persecution, but calling them "immigrants" is about as sensible as calling someone who moves from Connecticut to Massachusetts an "immigrant" — or in fact even less so, because "Palestine" hadn't existed in the Ottoman Empire, and it makes about as much sense as calling someone who moves from one Bay Area city to another an "immigrant." They also didn't move in order to replace Palestinians; they were fleeing extreme anti-Semitic violence from the neighboring (newly created) countries.

Your comment seemed to differentiate "Jews" and a "native population," with the non-native Jews having "displaced" the natives. If that's not a distinction you intended to draw, then I think your intentions were totally fine — although your phrasing was easily misinterpreted. If that is the intention you meant to convey, I believe you are in a large part incorrect — the largest subgroup of Israeli Jews are native to the Middle East and have been for thousands of years — and your initial comment (hopefully unintentionally) drew on anti-Semitic tropes of Jewish interlopers and replacers, which are about as old as Western society, on the basis of largely arbitrary, briefly enforced territorial lines drawn up by a European colonial power that had little reflection of the people it attempted and failed to rule.

Again, none of this excuses Israeli treatment of their former neighbors. It's atrocious and deserves to be called out. I just want to avoid anti-Semitism when we do so (as I have tried to also do in this thread).
Have you tried ear plugs possibly combined with ear muffs?
I wonder would happen if single-parenting was controller for? Would outcomes come up to par with other races?
That is true, but you must also realise the ability of the world's greatest power to influence thinking across the planet via the dominance of its corporations, institutions, and yes, dominant sites. In this situation, democracy is maleable by capital.

And I am not saying these blockages are good. Only that we should always question who is served by all this openness.
It’s also strange that HN is so eager to weaponize copyright for their own agenda.

It’s strange that so many people are arguing for using copyright law against the cop, instead of realizing that it’s absurd that we have to think about having videos taken down for background music.

That said, I’m not even convinced that background music can get the videos taken down, since we’ve all been watching these videos on social media platforms for the past few days.
No, it isn't.

From the article:

> It has forcibly sterilised some Uyghur women. But it is not slaughtering them.

Not slaughtering them makes no difference to whether it's genocide.

Genocide is about "intent to destroy in whole or in part a national, ethnic, racial or religious group".

Sterilizing them counts. As would snatching the children of that group and placing them in families of your own group (to give an example where nobody dies, not even the unborn).
Looks great! This would’ve been nice when I was pushing two friends events.

Off topic but in general what events are you joining? I have no clue what to do with Clubhouse now.
The article has a more nuanced title. "Vehicle choice, crash differences help explain greater injury risks for women"

With the title here on HN being "Women much more likely than men to be seriously injured or killed in car crashes", I was expecting the crashtest dummies to not take women into account but this is not the case here.
> You'd probably boot up a VM for the new version, provision it an IP, copy your code to it, and check if it's healthy. Then you'd edit your load balancer configuration to send traffic to that new IP, and drain traffic from the old IP. Then you'd shut the old instance down.

I haven't deployed an app this way in probably a decade. The process is much closer to: merge the a new feature into master, let [GitHub actions, CircleCI, Azure DevOps, something else] run the tests and deploy the code.

After your initial setup, if your deployment pipeline is "merge the code in" and you have a small-to-medium-sized application, k8s is way too much in about 95% of use cases.

I have seen this repeated in this thread several times - had to look it up, turns out it's BS. There has been one frame recall - in 2008, for cars made between 1994 and 2004 - including the Tacoma and the 4Runners and Toyota extended the warranty for rust perforation and bought back the damaged trucks. [0] In 2012 there has been a recall for Tacomas in a smaller set - produced between 2001 and 2004 - for rusting tire carrier.

The last recall for rust in Toyotas includes cars made up to 2010 [1]. So - if by "semi-annual" - you mean nothing in the last ten years, then you are correct, else it's BS.

Exactly.

And I absolutely do not want the future in which tech platforms also ineptly destroy, recreate then gain an unstoppable monopoly on journalism.
Excelent work
It looks like the photos are upside-down, when you go to a specific page and click to zoom in.

Didn't know where else to report it.
Thanks for letting me know. I obviously should have given it a better title.
Years ago I worked as a developer for a company that also owned a small ISP. The sysadmin for the ISP had quit and they didn't bother to replace him, as another guy could usually keep things running. Until a huge wave of spam hit and the mail server went unresponsive. Typical for that time, the mail server was sendmail with an unholy, gnarly config including SpamAssassin with an unholy, gnarly config. The guy handling sysadmin duties was out of his depth. He gave me access, showed me around the configs, and asked me to help. Sure, I could help. But not in any kind of acceptable time frame. So I went back to my desk and thought about it a bit.

A while before I had installed OpenBSD on an old box to play with. I recalled seeing something about a transparent bridge setup, so I got the idea of putting a transparent bridge with greylisting in front of the mail server. So I grabbed a slow cast off desktop, slapped an extra NIC in it, got it configured so I thought it would work, and put it in place. A few tweaks later and the load was off the mail server and it began responding to legitimate requests and clearing out its queue.

From idea to working solution took about 4 hours, including scrounging up parts, installing, and everything. I'm sure something similar could have been done with another OS, but what level of expertise would it have required? I was pretty much an OpenBSD newbie then, doing things I'd never even played with before, and that stuff just worked.
Stories like this is what makes me believe immutable infrastructure is the future.
Emotional intelligence is also intelligence. I.Q. tests doesn't bear that.

So smart teams are better than less smart. But it's not about the I.Q. score but about the whole intelligence (emotional and logical) of the team members.
the last time I tested them on redhat 6, clock_gettime(REALTIME) and gettimeofday are slightly faster than clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC), and gettimeofday is much faster than any clock_gettime on older platforms.
I see. Do you use VirtualBox for virtualization? I read that the kernel modules for VirtualBox were of dubious quality.

But not only do I not understand K8s, I'm also an idiot.
> Biology is non-toxic

Except for the toxic organisms (poison frogs, newts, fish, etc.). The best you can say on this line of thinking is that biology is biodegradable, except even that isn't true. Modern diatoms don't biodegrade - they mostly turn to sediment at the bottom of the oceans. Further, coal is mostly made of what used to be woody (lignin-containing) plants that couldn't be biodegraded when lignin first evolved[1]. The unique aspect of modern industry that makes it not sustainable is its scale and speed. The solution might involve industrially creating organisms with a similar scale and speed (like ones that can metabolize plastic).

> _why_ communication has moved away from email

Has it, though? I don't think we are any step closer now to dropping email than we were 25 years ago.

> or why XMPP/IRC never really caught on despite being vastly older than these app competitors

Could be the lack of marketing (because there isn't a corporation or venture capital money behind benefiting from exponential user base growth) and critical mass/peer-pressure as a result

> making sweeping changes to the protocol/client in the name of UX becomes intractable.

This starts to be dated, but is a counter-example: https://gultsch.de/objection.html
XMPP keeps evolving, and probably faster, and with better adoption than something centralized like Skype for instance.
Moreover, we've arguably less feature-packed messengers now than we had two decades ago.

> It is _very_ frustrating that the internet has had messenger fragmentation since the beginning of time, but why can Matrix solve this problem if XMPP cannot? Signal just works.

The irony. Signal contributes to fragmentation. We seem to pretend that it's a protocol/technical issue, but did you know that WhatsApp runs on XMPP, so did Google Talk, and Facebook Messenger early on? All those silos could open federation and let messages be exchanged across services, but chose not to do so (including Signal), because they have more to gain in keeping you hostage.
Can you be a miner & process your own payment?
Well sure there is always room for improvement. I was already a 20 year Linux veteran when I started getting into k8s.

Imho it was very simple to understand all the components. But I can't deny that it does require a solid understanding of sysadmin concepts and containers to get ahead.

I was quite proud to have grasped kubernetes within a few months, without any formal training. No finished education in my country and not from an English speaking country. So I often struggle with technical docs that are using too much academic english.

Still today when new issues arise I can relatively quickly understand why they're happening.

In some cases though you must read the docs carefully.
Ex Amazon SDE here. You are absolutely right.
If you have no compliance requirements, you can also just use any pkcs#11 token (with support for non-extractable keys) to secure the key, and setup an air-gapped process on a laptop with a bootcd, etc, to minimize the risk of compromising your process.

All computational time+space efficiency of C++ comes from the "C", not the "++" part!
Yep, that is why people should not use one. The reason there are so many frameworks is because everyone for the past 15-18 years has been trying to fit the same square peg in the round hole. With the proliferation of RESTful services and RIA/Javascript application, there is no need for server side frameworks short of a small framework to expose your logic as a RESTful service.
I've tried one of those in the store once, they only work for constant background noise - fan hums, that kinda thing. For conversations they're ineffective, and regular in-ear things work better.
A tiny, tiny glimpse.

It's a bit more than IPC, it's a discoverable object system.

Are we now to be held responsible for our policy maker's incompetency? The government should work for it's people, not the other way around. Had they considered the virus real, we wouldn't have had to seclude ourselves and stop the economy for over a year.

Taiwan, mainland China, Korea all have been living a perfectly normal life for the last 8 months. Mentioning those countries because I've actually spent a good amount of time there while the US government were shitting themselves.
And they apparently also didn't plan on deleting my PII (phone number was in the leak), even after I permanently deleted my account at FB over 3 years ago.

I thought I had the 'right to be forgotten' because of the GDPR, as I'm a European citizen. Has there been any real enforcement of these laws aside from the relatively small fine here and there?

I've been blocking FB actively for the last few years, I can't even visit FB because of my /etc/hosts file setup. It seems quite impossible to get back some privacy online even though I try and take measures. Use Duckduckgo, Brave browser, VPN, no social media, etc. I was a happy person when GDPR first came through.
The funny thing is that by totally banning "anything that purports to read people's emotions" you also ban research that would help people. For example you need to train models to detect race in order to make sure there are no racial biases in another model you want to deploy.
I can’t tell if you’re also saying no to PBS kids or not, but based on my own observations as a parent I have to say PBS kids (and PBS in general) is the best kids programming out there. Full stop.
Which is sort of the point of not standardizing things. In cycling for example, if everyone rides the same bike, then bike companies have nothing to advertise, so no money for cycling teams. So the whole thing is really an advertisement. The one exception I can think of in cycling is Japanese Keirin track racing, which has heavy regulation on the equipment used, but supports and is supported not by advertising, but by sports betting.
Kids should only be able to view content vetted by a human. Full stop.

>Can this library save you hundreds of hours? Do the math.

I doubt it. I imagine it would cost me time I didn't even know I had, when someone who could have been extending and patching the platform is instead extending and patching a FOSS platform. Closed toolkits only work at large scales where you've got a dedicated team responding to every issue. Even then, they're sub-optimal.
I know that I personally stopped, and never really started, saying "you're welcome" because I never really understood the point of it. When I was taught manners as a child, it always seemed to me that people did things because they got off on being thanked, then welcoming people for that thanks. That never made sense to me, I always did things because I wanted to do them, or it made sense to do them, and expected no thanks. I guess I never say you're welcome, because I don't really expect to be thanked. I'll usually say yep or mumble something, because while I do acknowledge and appreciate thanks, I don't expect it or welcome it.

I play music in my free time of course.

re: interaction with the community. It's currently limited to sharing via a public URL, but we've discussed a follow model (like Twitter, except you'd have to opt-in) where you'd be able to view a stream of all photos from the people you're following. Since it's limited to one photo a day per user, the stream should be pretty easy to keep up with. Beyond that, there are lots of things we could do with favoriting, commenting, etc., but we'd like to keep it really focused and simple for now.
You could say that we're all doing it now.

It could be that Libra throws out images with cloud cover percentages that are too high. For some areas with frequent cloud cover, that might mean that there are only a handful of useable Landsat images each year.
I apologize if Mr. Bernstein is reading this, but does anyone else feel like this post as well as many of the others he linked in his article are meandering, circumferential... maybe even raving? I really cannot follow his reasoning or discussion at all. I was genuinely interested though because I have heard all about this 'infamous' topic but have had trouble finding objective sources (if they exist?).

The end of the post should say TL,DR:

I think Wikipedia admins are sexist and it is hurting Wikipedia.
There might be something to this, but I still think simple loss aversion (for rich and poor alike) contributes more to clutter.

Also, kids.
> However, for most non-trivial problems understanding everything up front isn't possible.

You know, people keep saying that, but I'm yet to find one example of it on real life. Yes, there are contexts with many rules, but I never found one that you couldn't modularize into person-sized problems.

That said, for several times I've solved in a month or two (took six once) problems that other people struggled with for years in the "corporate way" of development without any kind of success.
What gets me, is that any site that pops up on the front page here that isn't black-text-on-white-or-light-grey-background gets hammered because of the sensitivities of those commenting.

This, despite the fact that the text on the vast majority of these sites is perfectly legible.

You are right, though - select-all+copy+paste is trivial.

They don't necessarily need to _support_ it, but that doesn't preclude being open enough to let others do the work.
I think I'm the opposite. If I can't see the practical application of something that I'm learning I generally lose motivation very quickly.
> ... such criminal corporations enjoy an advantage over law-abiding corporations.

There is no advantage to criminality. It is a general rule of law that no one should be able to profit from his crimes. That rule applies to corporations as well as individuals and there are many ways to hold corporations and their managers and employees accountable (civil and criminal liability are two of them).

My point was that passive investors shouldn't be criminally liable for criminal actions of employees of the corporation that they knew nothing about.
Facts:

Chisel is NOT HLS at all. Chisel is one of many languages that generates HDL, that is, you describe code to built a circuit whereas in eg. Verilog you just describe the circuit (Verilog has a limited ability to do dynamically with generate statements).

An HLS is one that raise the abstraction. Almost all of them today allows you to write "lightly" annotated C[++] that gets translated into a circuit. Almost universally, the timing relationship isn't explicit at all.

Opinions:

All existing HDLs and HLSes are terrible and there's fertile ground for creating something to really advance the art. Personally I'm looking for something that is more productive that HDLs, but with more control than an HLS. Some promising examples: Handle C, Google's XLS (assuming promised development), and Silice.

But that's not what we are interested in, no? Nobody asks "whats the probability that you'll get cancer at precisely age x", they ask "what's the probabiblity that you'll have cancer by age x". I mean, we often can't even determine at what precise age the cancer developed. That's a problem for the PDF, not so much the CDF.
Nonsense. We test stuff all the time we don't understand "completely" (which is some kind of magical standard, as we obviously don't understand the universe completely, so the very atoms and molecules that the machine is made of are in some sense not well understood.)

Certainty is the alchemist's stone of philosophy. People have done all kinds of interesting stuff while attempting the impossible: turning knowledge into certainty. They can't, but that doesn't mean knowledge--which is inherently uncertain--is inferior. It means certainty is inferior, because it can't actually be achieved, regardless of what any pre-Bayesian thinker might have imagined.

Knowledge is always uncertain.

Tests are always incomplete.

This does not mean "knowledge is impossible" or "you cannot say you tested the code" but rather "certainty is a chimera" and "compete test coverage is a futile goal."

The whole point if good engineering is to adopt standards that are both achievable and useful, and the kind of test coverage that people run on code they are unfamiliar with to ensure it will do what they want it to is generally adequate for that. Evidence: most shipping code actually works.
That approach doesn't seem to have hurt Heroku. And you know you can spin up a Linux VM in Azure, right?
