Facebook is the only reliable or affordable form of internet access at all. I think the measure of "own website" changes once you reach a certain mass and especially when that "own website" is not a personal website but a corporate one. Not to mention the government influences that can and are made against these corporations.

It gets morally messy when you consider scale. At what point does it cross over from reasonable moderation to censorship? If Facebook were a country, it would the largest country in the world. Is it okay to censor two billion people because Facebook is not an "official government"?

I'm not against moderation at all but at a certain scale does it cease being only moderation? I would argue yes, but at what point? That's trickier to answer and I can't really say I know.
I hope so, too. I wonder if PBS is going strategic with this to build wealth.

I know that they're also putting useful free content on YouTube. They have a channel called "PBS Space Time", which I've seen HN folks here sharing to engage in physics discussions (i.e., especially quantum).

there's a reason however: the limitation comes from our constitution and changing that requires a supermajority that hardly any government had in the last decades.

Art. 34.
La scuola è aperta a tutti.
L'istruzione inferiore, impartita per almeno otto anni, è obbligatoria e gratuita.

"(public) schooling is open to everyone"
"primary instruction, covering at least eight years, is mandatory and free of charge"

there's both the right and the mandate to get all children into school, changing that is something that has been evaluated and still under discussion because it will be very hard to put an amendment in there that's both general enough to cover the issue at hand but not so generic that it might be exploited in the future.
I'm fairly certain that, unless they changed in the last couple years, Uber is using Braintree as their payments provider.
Reading this post made me think that while many companies advertise an entrepreneurial environment and the ability to do impactful work, the true test of this culture is 1) the ability to hire former founders and 2) those former founders loving their work.

Plenty of blue-chip startups have future founders working for them...yet it seems to me that having past founders is much more rare. An incredibly strong company endorsement.
Not all PBS money is government money.
But an inherent bug of government regulation is that it's always vulnerable to lobbying like you cited. So it's still a failure of regulation, except one that is permanent and unsurprising.

It's a better solution instead of banning children. It might seem like it's the same thing, but it's quite different.
Wikipedia says of CPB: "The CPB's annual budget is composed almost entirely of an annual appropriation from Congress plus interest on those funds."[0]

So that portion should still be considered tax revenue.

You're only supposed to use a half teaspoon to flavor six whole servings of soup. It's an incredibly strong flavor enhancer, and is really not recommended for solo consumption.
At least you work in a single place. I used to work in film/TV and public transport was never an option. Even if we weren't filming on location (ie at a place, not in a studio) the irregular working hours made it impossible. When designing public transport we have to remember that not everyone works 8->6 at a fixed location.

Today I have a nice government job at a fixed location (military) but still need my car. A couple times a month I get called in at strange hours (3am) and my boss doesn't want to hear "the buses aren't running yet".

IIRC, when I last checked this (admittedly this was years ago) a single TypedArray object had 200 bytes of overhead - not counting the backing buffer for the array itself - due to the complexity of the one backing buffer being potentially used by multiple arrays and so on. By comparison regular object had about a dozen bytes of overhead. Because of this, tiny typed arrays are almost always worse in terms of performance than objects or plain arrays. Especially if we are talking about "type stable" objects, that is: prototypical objects with a hidden class that does not change.

Things have probably improved in Buffer/DataView/TypedArray land thanks to the push for WASM, but the allocation overhead still will be a lot higher and involve a lot more work to allocate them.
I'm a fan of NVC(non-violent communication) and that framework could be summarized by the sentence, "when you do X,I feel Y". You basically become an instrument that reports on your internal state, plus you're also supposed to avoid assuming anything about the other person's internal state.

This is a lot more like science then the usual default of blaming and assumptions and implicit expectations that most people conduct their relationships in.

I agree with Mr. Trump in this specific case.

I work with developers that have the greatest of intentions, but they are human and bugs happen. Bugs provide a means for malicious people to do bad things that "should not be possible". Bugs can also be intentional given the right price and with software, they can target specific people or categories of people.

I appreciate the theory that computers will make less mistakes than humans overall. I also appreciate the reality that things will happen that should be impossible and the safety numbers could get destroyed in 30 seconds by an angst filled kid that found a script on github to take over cars. Shortly after the Sony hack, I was discussing this with a member of the Obama administration and the conclusion we came to was that self driving cars probably need regulation that is somewhere between current regulation and medical devices.

I am not in any way saying anyone here should not use self driving cars. I am just going to distance myself from them until things get a bit battle hardened.
I would say Stockholm is a tech hub in Scandinavia. There I worked 45-50 hours per week.

In comparison to LA where I recently moved back: I work 40 hours a week, barring any emergency that may come up. Though LA isn't really a tech hub so maybe it's not a fair comparison.

In both places expectations are unwritten, so to speak, as laws prevent abuse of labor. However in either case you are pretty well compensated for overtime.
A study team looked at space-based and ground-based visible and IR options. Their 2017 report is: https://cneos.jpl.nasa.gov/doc/2017_neo_sdt_final_e-version.... (long PDF)

The cost estimate for development, launch, and operations varies a lot, but is in the $0.8-$2.0B range. See the cost roll-up on page 163 of the above document. It's ~0.5-1.0 meter telescope, and detector cooling and data rates are an issue.

The scientist quoted in the above article, Amy Mainzer, is leading a more detailed study which is among a handful of proposal concepts (not all NEO-related) that NASA will select from.

Do you mind saying what kind of device you have? In some cases the only thing preventing other information being used is privacy policies, and the data may be used for gathering metrics to plan future devices.

If the data collection is verbose enough, dead reckoning from speed/acceleration information can be used to unmask some non-driving information. It can't be generally unmasked completely, but even small correlations, like "they start slow in the morning but go faster after xx seconds" -> "they live near a freeway" -> <regional information> -> "they are slightly more likely to be rich" -> "they under-report accidents" can be inferred, leading down the same path. This is the sort of thing that I was indicating above -- a lot of "good" drivers can be lumped in with the "bad" ones to make Class B, if you can establish an attributes that appears to be causal but whose accuracy is low.
Last month, an eight-year-old recovering from cancer was unable to attend school in Rome due to his weak immune system.

The child had spent months receiving treatment for leukaemia, but was at risk of infection because a proportion of pupils in the school had not been vaccination

This has been....odd.

Reddit completely banned two subreddits: r/gore and r/watchpeopledie, despite having been on the site for 7+ years (and mods claiming they did admin's bidding and banned NZ videos).

On top of that, there is some sort of media blackout on the 74-page manifesto the shooter supposedly wrote.

Someone shot 50 people, left a detailed explanation, and no one can find out why. Was he anti-immigrant, anti-semetic, disaffected of government...no one knows.

I often hand down my MBP to my parents, but given the state of the MBP line over the past few years I'm probably going to hold on to my 2015 model for quite some time yet

Which breaks my heart a bit because the model they have right now is a 2011 MBP and it's starting to show its age. Also my Dad spilled a cup of tea on the keyboard which was expensive to repair. They're not in a position financially to shell out a lot of money for Apple products, and they've squandered a lot of over the years on sub-par windows ones (not a dig at windows - just the 'buy cheap, buy twice' mantra sticks here, good quality windows laptops are expensive for a reason!)

So I'm thinking about giving them my iPad Air (2013) but I'm not sure if they'd like it, for one they tend to use the computer on their laps rather than a desk so I don't think the form factor would help, and my Dad likes to maintain a bunch of spreadsheets in open office for various things.

The only other thing (as far as I know) they use the computer for is browing the web, but it's the productivity stuff that concerns me as a laptop replacement.

Yes true.[1]

You're misunderstanding that quote. It's talking about "authority" in the sense of software's authorization to move the trim tab, not the aerodynamic authority of the tailplane.

The 737 has a 60 year old, very conventional elevator with a trim tab. The tab changes the resting angle of the overall elevator, and thus the "center point" of tailplane force on the airframe. Being out of trim means that the aircraft might naturally want to pitch up or down, and forces the pilot to apply to force to the stick (which moves the elevator, not the trim tab!) to correct it.

This stick force can be significant and surprising, but it's designed to (and the certification surely requires it to) be achievable by a pilot under all conditions. That is: it's not supposed to be possible for any trim failure on a 737 to render an aircraft uncontrollable, and I don't see any assertion in the analysis of the MAX 8 that changes that.

At the end of the day, what happened here is that the aircraft had a runaway trim failure. That was a failure that was understood and forseen (albeit not under software control) in the aircraft's original design, and the redundancy to treat it was the pilot's physical ability to override the trim. This was supposed to have been a recoverable failure within the cockpit, and it wasn't.

> Until you can create an entirely new species in a laboratory without direct gene editing, there cannot be positive proof for evolution

Being able to do that is no more positive proof of evolution than any of the more or practical tests. Also, speciation has been observed and created in controlled settings without direct gene editing (indeed, some before gene editing was even a thing), so if it was positive proof of evolution, we could mark that off as proven absolutely.
True, but vaccine preventable diseases are often far worse and far more contagious then other diseases.

There's no requirement or limitation to become a private school, taking part of a public exam at the end of each cycle is sufficient. I think homeschooling would fall under being a really really small private school.

but it's weird since the passed law is only about children before the primary cycle.

there's an impeding lawsuit that might change that, however italian case law is case by case, it's hard for precedents to become case law since there's no equivalent here afaik

This will also let me stay up on market trends and know which projects to focus on and what to emphasize on my resume.

Why do you think a switch from lighting to usb-c would be "expensive"? They were part of the USB-C design committee and there's no licensing involved. From a physical change perspective lightning has only 8 lanes, USB-C has 24 - I'm confident they can find a way to make the transition pretty painless, especially since the pen only really needs to support charging by that port.
Or religious exemptions, which it seems have become a catch all category in some places.
Hmm. I see your point, that it does seem like I was contriving to use the term "hack" in a situation that might lend it to a (non-nefarious) precursor of the "hacking" term in the topic at hand. But in this case it was actually unintentional, and what I had in my head was more of "hacking things to pieces" as a boy who's found his way into his grandfather's shed is likely to do.
So private companies choosing to not carry conservative speech and writing is censorship?

I thought censorship was what governments did, not private companies. You know, you've got a right to free speech, but I don't have to pay for your platform. That's what the justification of ditching the equal time doctrine on radio and TV companies back in the 80s was. That basically eliminated any liberal voices on TV and radio, and we were all told it was just market driven.

Calling what a private company does "censorship" seems like a grotesque, yet whiny, perversion of the word.
Chelyabinsk meteor exploded almost over a city:

"The first explosion was the most powerful, and was preceded by a bright flash, which lasted about five seconds. Initial newspaper altitude estimates ranged from 30–70 km, with an explosive equivalent, according to NASA, of roughly 500 kilotonnes of TNT (2,100 TJ), although there is some debate on this yield (500 kt is exactly the same energy released by the Ivy King nuclear explosion in 1952). According to a paper in 2013, all these ~500 kiloton yield estimates for the meteor airburst are "uncertain by a factor of two because of a lack of calibration data at those high energies and altitudes."

The hypocentre of the explosion was to the south of Chelyabinsk, in Yemanzhelinsk and Yuzhnouralsk. Due to the height of the air burst, the atmosphere absorbed most of the explosion's energy."

I think that would be a reasonable point if that was the topic, but I don't think you're right about their intention because the topic is very explicitly about physical violence. Steering over to the philosophical realm of non-physical "violence" as an abstract concept would be a pretty dramatic departure from the topic, especially since it's not even stated in the comment. They even use an act of physically overpowering a person as their example.

The real issue is the Apple Pencil should have been what the "Apple Pencil (2nd Generation)" was from the start.

The Surface line made it obvious years ago that the magnetic docking was essential.

Would have made much more sense to wait than to have two different pencils not cross compatible at all, I mean even if you bought the first iPad Pro and the Pencil then decided to upgrade to the next iPad Pro you can't use the old pencil with the new iPad with the excuse of it needing a lightning port to pair when plenty of other pens exist using wireless technology that just have a button to kick them into pairing mode.
