Is there no login for audit track? Will the content be shared later for all? Is there any use of signing up for audit track?

> A blockchain is a chain of blocks. Tautological, but the words mean something; it isn't just a name.

No, it doesn't work like that. "Blockchain" is understood to mean something and you can't decompose the compound word and say "well, here's a block. Oh, and here's a chain. I guess this is a block chain." Your description, e.g., applies to a Merkle tree [0], which git uses, and was published in 1979. But no one has ever or will ever call it a blockchain.

I won't take any fluoroquinolone antibiotics. I had terrifying mental effects after one dose (not one course, one pill) of Avelox (Moxifloxacin). Fortunately I had no permanent effects. I had a similar, but less severe, reaction to Cipro.

Some time later I rejected a prescription of Levofloxacin, and asked my physician for Doxycycline, which I tolerate well. I discussed it with my pharmacist and she agreed with my decision. She had taken Levofloxacin for a few days three years earlier and it gave her permanent (so far) neuropathy in hip and leg, and balance problems.

Oh yeah, Slack (or equivalent) is a monster too. But it's unfortunately there to stay, at least for remote teams. A good way to ignore it, btw, is to disable notifications (including the one on the icon) and to spend most of the day in Do Not Disturb mode. It ensures you only read it on your schedule while leaving some leeway for when something urgent comes up.

Another big productivity killer IMO is email. But that one's easier to manage if you stick to doing it once or twice per day only and have rules that get corporate email noise out of your way.

After some Googling, it appears that the U.S. land border crossing points are less monitored. I've only utilized U.S. air and sea crossings, both of which do have electronic exit visas (because the shipline or airline reports their passenger manifest to the authorities). So, yes, no check is done when using a land crossing.

Because if you read the post, the author is clearly making this change on moral grounds, that are only incidentally political to folks who choose to reduce it to that (like you did). Specific immoral actions are named, not political ideologies. The change is not to protest “ICE under conservative leadership.”

It’s apparent by now that to many folks, it’s unbelievable that “ICE should not rip toddlers from their families and put them in camps” is something that could be dismissed as just a political opinion valid as any other (and could you please not bring it up by the way because it’s rude to talk about politics).

Estimations...
This is apparently intended to be used for a blockchain that contains SQL transactions in the blocks [1]. As there can be multiple 'heads' of a blockchain (before the network settles on a longest chain), there is a chance the head you picked as being the currently 'longest chain' eventually will not be on the longest chain at all. Hence you'd need the ability to go back to a point in time and execute the queries for another head, should it become the longest one.

This also explains why merging is not included (it is simply not needed for this application).

I did an SQL-on-blockchain a while ago [2][3] and ran into this problem as well. I solved it by not committing the last N transactions, and re-executing them for each read query in a transaction. This obviously is not a very efficient solution (and still runs the risk of having to re-execute the whole chain of queries in case a chain split occurs further than N blocks before the current head).

Switching schools isn't hard/impossible because parents can't pay a fee. It's because you have to be within a physical distance of the school, and that space is limited. If you make schools a market with vouchers then you are going to end up with the rich getting everything and the poor being left with scraps. This already happens to some extent with parents moving to good schools districts, but it's at least somewhat mitigated by every school continuing to receive funding
Yes, while the C extension helps for high performance I think it feels like a major hack to instruction encoding.

The RISC-V ISA does great with a very small number of instructions, so playing around with encodings is rather easy. I'm reaching the conclusion that fixed 24-bit opcodes are an close to optimal if immediate constants are allowed after.
Ask HN: New developer, feeling overwhelmed
I'm a self taught web developer. I've been building websites using mostly PHP and JavaScript for the post 3 years. I recently got a job as a programmer at a large financial institution. I was put on the infrastructure team, and they are using technologies and languages that I have no experience of. Their system is also incredibly complex, and even though I can learn the language, I have very little knowledge of what their systems do and how they do them. My manager had been very supportive, and expects it to take several months before I'm up to speed. I'm currently shadowing different pairs. I ask lots of questions and the team are helpful, but I feel like I'm in over my head. My friend thinks I'm being too harsh on myself and should give it a little longer (I've been here 3 weeks). I don't expect to be off to a running start by now, but I would at least expect to understand enough to contribute.

I feel like crying every day and I don't want to go into work anymore. Please help HN

>We had our finances planned for how we would deal with upcoming house work.

>We learned about each other during sex, nothing weird, just better.

This is the big stuff that others can likely relate to. It was like 3 hours of fantastic conversation.
OSM doesn't support/understand the street numbering scheme used in my country. If I rewrite my address in the format OSM thinks I should be using, then at least it can find the street I am on.

Just because it can doesn't mean it will. Personally, I find Zed to be a reasonable person, so I would use lamson without worrying that the "rug will be pulled out from under me".

It seems to me that Zed felt that he had been taken advantage of from users of his open source software in the past and this is simply a provision to guard against that. Whether you agree with his reasoning or not, it's not fair to just dismiss it and assume malicious intent.

Imagine you tell your neighbors they can use your pool so long as they act responsibly otherwise their access would be revoked. You're not going to spell out every little thing that they can/cannot do. You'd just hope that they'd use common sense and revoke their access if they do something you find intolerable. Imagine your neighbor responding to this offer, "Uhh yea, that's not going to work for me. I want unrevokable access." Ridiculous right?
The original statement was "a very large percentage people in jail are there because their bail was literally $50 or $100 but they didn't have the money to pay it." So to determine the accuracy of that you need to see how many people are in jail specifically for failure to pay a very small bail amount. The fact that 32% are held on bail doesn't address the original point. From the linked source, page three:

> When the bail was under $10,000, most defendants secured release, including 7 in 10 defendants with bail under $5,000 (figure 3).

So we're talking about $50-100 bail fines, but even if you raise the definition of "small amount" to $5k, 70% of those are released. We're already down into single digit percentages of folks with a <$5k bail set who are financially unable to pay it. I wish the data went to $1k and below because I imagine the percentage unable to pay would be minuscule.
This underscores why I'm almost inherently biased against most regulations. In a lot (not saying all) of cases, we figure out what's bad for us and make decisions to help solve it. Social, legal, and economic issues in our society often appear to work themselves out when left to their own devices.

Yet, so many have the opposite gut reaction: Teens using too much social media? Regulate the industry! Tax them! Take away their phones!

I'm glad to see things working themselves out with social media usage and hope its successes help increase our ability to avoid expensive and fruitless regulations in the future.

Removing the Facebook app from my phone and logging out when I was done with a session on the computer was a great improvement in my life. Even the barrier of typing the password in was enough for me to avoid mindlessly browsing through stuff whenever I finished a small task.

It's been about 6 years since I took these steps, and I don't regret them. Since the Cambridge Analytica stuff came out, I've been dabbling with dropping FB entirely, but there are some people who I like receiving updates from, but they are only on FB.

Motorola assembler is what is known as orthogonal instruction set. The flow is logical: move.b for byte, move.w for word, move.l for longword, from source to destination, which reflects real life.

The assembler reads almost like a high level programming language. The register scheme is intuitive as well, from a0-a7 being the address, to d0-d7 being the data registers.

Now, let's do a mental exercise: I'm going to load an effective address relative to the program counter, 32-bits wide, into the 1st address register. Then, I'm going to load an arbitrary value from an arbitrary memory location into the second address register. Do the same in RISC-V; compare intuitiveness.

move.l $00bfe001, a1

First time I wanted to quit was when they forced me to relocate from one state to another. They just decided among themselves and asked me to relocate. I luckily found another job within 3 days, and went to resign. The manager yelled at me and said I have no way but to move to the other place and serve 2 months notice. I didn't give in, and ended up quitting in 2 weeks. On the last day, the manager said "don't take it personally, its just business". Thankfully, they didn't create any issues after that. I had a friend who had to pay 2 lakh rupees bond amount since he quit 3 months before his 2 year bond expired.

Second time happened when I was in US. They were forcing me to go back to India, and I found another job. Went in to quit and the manager indirectly told me that I may face issues with my service letter. I ended up not quitting because of all the stress and uncertainties.

We need this service letter for finding new jobs in India, and may also be needed if applying for green card.
Probably filtering them. Before I deleted my FB I remember it being a struggle to not have my inbox flooded. I would disable all the notifications and every few months when they updated their policies or changed the site those notifications would helpfully get turned back on.
