EDIT: I seem to be wrong. This is a hybrid of a EU regulation that needs to be implemented into local law, and "EU law" that has direct application everywhere. Also there are specific rules on how much stronger the member states can make their local rules. I'm leaving my error in the text below.

That is not technically correct, and the difference matters.

The EU regulation forces it's members to implement their own local laws in alignment to the EU regulation. The EU regulation can get a member state into trouble if not implemented in time or correctly. They describe a set of "baseline" data protection laws for the whole EU, but the members can still have stronger local rules. Only the local law is what can get a resident company in trouble.

Germany has (had for a long time) very strong data protection laws that are still going to be stronger than the EU regulation.

My dad used to get out of speeding tickets by bribing officers all the time using the same principle - when he handed over his licence there would be a banknote folded inside it(licences were in forms of booklets back then). If the policeman was on it, they would just take the money and not say anything - if they weren't, my dad would just say he forgot he had some emergency money in there. Worked about 90% of the time? That's not in US though, central/eastern Europe in the 90s was a very corrupt place.

What I meant was that back in the old days, people didn't bother as much to recycle things, so lead batteries ended up thrown away in the nature. Of course today we recycle a lot more, so it would be less of a problem.

Yes, you are perfectly right! I confess I forgot about this point of the earnings. USA tax system is different of my country.

Here, companies pay taxes about all the income, and on USA you have deductions when reinvest income in some kind of expenses. I believe this is why some companies spend it almost all, because the rules of the game are favoring to to this.

So, the P/E ratio is almost irrelevant (or more complex to include on analysis) on USA than here.

Do note, that some functional languages have good out-of-the-box support for both backend and frontend. An this is not negligible. I'm using F# which in combination with Fable (F#->.js transpiler) lets me really quickly share code, datastructures and serialization with frontend code.

Now, I'm a primarily a backend developer. But sometimes it is just really convenient to be able to hack together an in-house real-time data-analysis or reporting service and render statistics as webpages rather than .csv documents.

If your frontend team is functional as well, then the benefits of sharing the language could be even bigger.

Sure, not everything is perfect in the F# world. However having the possibility to share code with frontend saves me more time than I spend in fighting with the F# ecosystem. And also: programming in F# is just fun joyful. And productive.
Ivy: a 'buy it for life' static website generator in Python
It's a very different kind of interaction than with code on the screen, and fits the way one thinks in a much more concrete way. It's like an embodied metaphor, one that people are intimately familiar with, and the immediacy of it allows you to iterate quickly as you have direct feedback, and the whole structure is made visible for everyone to see, enabling a kind of collaboration unusual for computer programming (image the dynamic of a group of people trying to build a tent together compared to a group of people all staring at a static view of an IDE).

Of course, it's nothing groundbreaking just yet, but I can't help but get excited at the possibilities of this sort of medium.

What I don't get is that nearly all the buoys that have that moving icon "Tsunami alert" show some excitation at the ~9:45GMT mark.

But I would of course expect the buoys that are farther away
to only show some kind of peak when the wave actually reaches them. And it looks like they are thousands of km away, so some of them should not even have been reached yet.

Some what is going on there? Is the data time actually shifted and not in GMT but 'earthquake propagation time'? Am I reading the plots wrong?

When told that they already have all the information in the original report, a human suddenly appears and replies that apparently every report needs to include a permission to be forwarded to the customer. Again, in the context of a clearly compromised box one would expect them to first block the box and then "follow up with the customer."

Still, even with this permission and several hours in, the box is still spamming, customer is "investigating" and Hetzner has done all they could to handle this incident.
Yes!

I've been similarly enchanted when I first saw Dynamicland (well, on twitter, the actual place being on a different continent) and I've actually started my own experiments (but never finished them :( ). Glad to see someone follow through, I'm definitely going to be watching you closely!
> The response is shockingly adult

Some snippets from the response:

> since the peanut gallery is paying lots of attention it's probably worth explaining it a little more for their benefit

> not just drop it quietly because poor Davey is too
scared that Linus might shout at him again

> If we can be done with the shouty part, I'd actually quite like to have a sensible discussion

None of this is adult. I'm not directly defending Linus' tone, or claiming that he's "more adult", but derogating and condescending the audience reading these public posts (1st quote), making cheap jokes about Linus' behaviour (2nd quote) and directly insulting Linus (3rd quote) is not what I would define as an "adult" response. Linus' email at least only gets angry and offensive while critiquing the code, and doesn't get personal.

> The rant contains no valuable information, the response is excellent and far more informative

Linus' "rant" informed me that Intel are setting IBRS as a default-off feature that must be asked for - offloading responsibility for security to the software. The response opens by condescending me, tells me that IBRS is expensive (we know), retpoline is performant, and the informativeness seems to stop there.

It then posits that as somehow justifying the offloading of said responsibility with the following:

> Then along came Paul with the cunning plan of "oh, indirect branches can be exploited? Screw it, let's not have any of those then", which is retpoline.

> But wait, why did I say "mostly"? Well, not everyone has a retpoline compiler yet... but OK, screw them; they need to update.

"Screw them" is the crux of his answer to Linus' concerns. Sorry, how is this in any way an adult response?
I feel that there should probably be a name change, but ultimately I don't really care. I am enjoying the language and they can call it whatever they want. If and when they change the name I will just refer to it as the new name.

I'm probably completely wrong, but am wondering and trying to deduce the same thing. My assumption, guess really, is that they were remotely activated into "Tsunami Mode" -- a more rapid-pulse reporting mode or similar, which just is a bit noisier perhaps?

Total layman's guess though -- would love to know more if anyone knows the answer.

Just to add a bit of a positive spin on this: even type-1 diabetics could take measures to both improve their health and reduce the amount of insulin they require.

I consider myself moderately overweight at this point (maybe 10-15kg). If I lost weight, I could reduce the baseline amount of insulin I need every day, thus reducing the amount of insulin overall that I need to pay for.

I also fully acknowledge that, upon getting an insulin pump (16 years ago), I instantly became aware that I had much more freedom to eat what I want, when I wanted and thus, put little effort to cutting back on sugar outside of switching to diet drinks. If I were to switch to a low-carb diet, or no carb (which is admittedly very hard, I've tried), I could further reduce my insulin costs.

Personally (keep in mind these numbers depend highly on each individual), if I got my weight down 10kg, and ate < 100g of carbohydrates per day, I could theoretically only require ~35-40 units of insulin per day. At 40 units, I would only need ~1.35 vials of insulin per month. Ballparking, I'd say my current rate is likely around 2 vials per month.
Seconding; choosing an appropriate projectors (resolution, luminance, throw distance) is not a trivial task. I'd like to hear what people have found that fits.

Not an oceanic scientist but sound speed in water is ~1500m/s. This is the speed at which a pressure perturbation propagates. The speed at which the actual tsunami wave would propagate is much more slower than this. So I believe that the excitation marked in the plot is the pressure wave caused by the earthquake, which travels orders of magnitude faster than an actual water wave caused by the earth displacement.
Essentially, you'd just run the IPFS node and add files to it. Gateways won't store your files for long.
How to Find Programmers for a Startup? 20+ Websites to Hire Remote Developers
I agree with you that there are many people in the West who have (almost) 100% trust in national media, and that that level of trust is misplaced, but I don't agree at all that the situation is the same as in Russia (where I've been and where I know some people).

The difference is that here in the West there are lots of agendas being pushed, but there are also lots of competing ones, lots of different points of view, and much more freedom to express them. The end result is - or at least was, the situation isn't improving lately - that the government can't get away with lies as big as the ones Putin pushes (eg: "we have no soldiers in Ukraine" "we're never going to annex Crimea" etc. etc.)

This presupposes that the problems of FTL travel, effectively harnessing sources of more or less unlimited energy and creating hard AI are intriniscally soluble if we just "apply" ourselves.

Maybe they're not and we're locked into a limited system both in terms of resources and intellectual perception. In which case time really will be the fire in which we burn.

That sounds like a very good guess. But then, the spikes that are purported to be the Tsunami in the media is just the ADC having a couple bad samples from being switched into a different mode or so :-)

Nah... Waymo internally had exponentially increasing bonus structure to achieving milestones [1]. This meant starting around 2012, lots of people got mind blowing bonus numbers. It was then soon become clear to top talent that they had enough money to either retire or self fund their own startups or join someone else’s without having to worry about meager salaries of startups. During same time brass decided to water down the bonus scheme and the party was over. Talent departed with their big money already in the bank. Much of the talent also knew that even bigger payouts was on the horizon with car companies buying up any ex-Google startups they can get their hands on.

How to write an EQS test
When could counterfeits be detected with a somewhat decent accuracy? Is it something that has been attempted?

I checked out Facebook Marketplace a few times since the launch and and everytime I'm just overwhelmed by the sheer amount of better or worse counterfeits.

On top of that I start getting notifications more counterfeits, for a short while I reported them but after a while it felt pointless and now I just ignore the marketplace tab.
Ah yes, a topic about China and the top comment is some American spreading the usual fud about how China is the pure evil, like it has been engrained into their brains from the day they were born. Sad to see hn is no better than reddit these days.
I have an inkling that you need a time out.
An EQS test in Unreal Engine 4 receives a series of items, either passed in from a generator or the result of a previous test, and independently filters and/or scores each one. When filtering, a test simply returns whether each item passes or fails, while when scoring it assigns a numerical score to each item. An item is most commonly a location, but can also be a rotation or actor. Each test specifies what type of items it supports in its constructor by setting the ValidItemType member.
Unreal performs tests in an order based on their declared cost. When you define your test, in the constructor, you set whether it has low, medium or high cost. Then for a query that contain multiple tests the higher costs test are performed later, after the low cost ones. The idea is that the earlier, quicker tests will do initial filtering and remove many of the items, so that more expensive tests have fewer items to test.
Creating a new test
Creating a new test involves simply deriving a new class from UEnvQueryTest and implementing a constructor and three functions:
•	virtual void RunTest(FEnvQueryInstance& QueryInstance) const override;
•	virtual FText GetDescriptionTitle() const override;
•	virtual FText GetDescriptionDetails() const override;
The most interesting of these and where all the work happens is the RunTest function, this is where you implement the code to test each candidate item.
For a more detailed guide to EQS tests, including using an item iterator, check out the url above.

I have a very basic understanding of networking, so appreciate any comments from someone who knows about these.
But that doesn't fit the data, either. The buoys all report something around the 9:45ish GMT mark. And 1500m/s would mean you reach Mendocino bay in California only about now or so. But have a look at the plot:

>>The main problem with regulation is that it's too easy to capture by various corporate lobbies.

> This is like saying "the main problem with laws is..."

Is it ? A corporation that already pays employees higher than minimum wage can drive out smaller shops that do not pay much more than minimum wage by working to raise the minimum wage. This enables them to raise prices and screw customers over if the smaller shops go out of business.
