ABS, ESP aren't only for the safety of the person buying the vehicle.

You can have the latest, safest car money will buy and get plowed by a 30 years old land rover without any crumple zone and die because he couldn't stop in the snow/rain (bald tires, used break pads, &c.).

It's always a balance between regulations and ""freedom"".

In some US states you can drive anything as long as it has and engine and a plate. I lived in CA for a while, everyone drive with bald tire, I remember opening google maps on a rainy day, LA area was full of the red ! accident signs.

The world is a big kindergarden, you can't expect people/companies to do what's best for themselves/others so you have to enforce the rules through laws and regulations.

If companies were allowed to sell cars without safety features for a lower price people would buy them.
Personally found this article overly dramatic and a bit dumb. All this wall of text just to point out that FMA needs to be emulated... ok.. but it’s a solved problem.
This is also not a new problem.. fmaf is defined in C99 standard so There are multiple open source library implementations of FMA using round to odd for years.

You can just read that code and see how it’s done. Despite the ridiculous ending there was no mystery to begin with.

At the end of the day, about 3 million people, fully settled in the UK, were not allowed to vote on the one thing which greatly affected them and for many is wrecking their lives.

That isn't due to apathy, and it isn't democracy either.

In that dichotomy I guess the question is: which type of psychopath is a more frequent & significant threat to the people? Frequent/significant is probably a trade-off in this case.

The success of javascript is hugely because of no dependency-hell (not being able to upgrade some lib to a new version, because it would conflict with some other lib which requires it in its current version and you can't have both of them loaded at the same time)

1) Unless the people who sign the petition had not voted (or voted for brexit, in which case you could even see it as a x2 effect) you can't "make the difference" using these numbers as they doesn't necessarily show any sway.

2) Why would there need to be a pro-brexit petition if brexit won the vote? That is unless cancelling brexit suddenly becomes the way that decision-makers want to go for (and note that there are pro hard brexit petitions)

Disclaimer: I do not reside in the UK, and I no longer click on every article in the ever-flowing torrent of brexit-related news, so my knowledge of the ongoings may be outdated
Not sure what you mean here. There are airlines with business class in a 737, and there's also the BBJ. Aircraft owners are free to choose how crowded the seats are on any aircraft.

It's brutal to fire all the employees and survives themselves / business. But guess you're right, the next move for them might be making some money from selling the product OR raise another round.
> Also, if you wanted to build higher buildings to accommodate more people in the same space, good luck doing that in a city center, because there's no space for such thing.

I have seen a three story building knocked down in Hong Kong and a 20 story building rise in its place without any damage to the structural integrity of its neighbours. Engineers are really good at building things if they’re allowed to do so, even under significant constraints.

I don't know where the author was educated, but I wouldn't be surprised if the wars of Vendée were not taught outside of France, and since it's a very internal affair (England did not come to the help of the Vendéens who counted on it - the Virée de Galerne) during a time already heavy with historically significant events on a international scale, I think it's quite normal.

In France though it is far from forgotten. A very well done, state-sponsored, large museum explains (Historial de Vendée) at length these events, mostly from a Vendean perspective as I felt (I am from Vendée myself, and the founder of the museum is a politician known to be royalist) and a theme park (Puy du Fou, second most popular in France after Disneyland) also has many attractions around this theme, also mostly from an anti-republican point of view (it was founded by the same person as the other museum).

I wouldn't mind official excuses from the Republic on how this happened I guess, but nobody today is responsible for what happened then, so it would be meaningful anyway.
That’s no more true than that Asian-Americans have no say in politics. Demographic groups aren’t absolute voting blocks.
Sorry for that. As the other comments point out, it's used inconsistently. The way I've used it here is to include the employer's contribution to pension and provident fund (retirement savings), not just the employee contribution.
The country has changed its mind, but those in power haven't, because May (stubborn) and Corbyn (wants a hard brexit which he thinks will drive people to his brand of economics) don't accept it.
In the software update that Boeing says is coming soon, MCAS will be modified to take readings from both sensors. If there is a meaningful disagreement between the readings, MCAS will be disabled.

How was MCAS rolled out and certified flight-ready when it did not rely on readings from both sensors? This breaks a cardinal law of airplane safety -- always have redundancy.

i don't think that's true for multiparadigm functional languages like f#, racket, and others. these languages allow you to solve problems in the best way and don't necessarily bind you to some draconian perspective like haskell. functional doesn't necessarily mean static typing. scheme and racket are functional languages.

Critically, however, freemartins are a form of microchimerism. They literally have cells with Y chromosomes in their bodies, received from the male twin through the shared chorion. You're correct that there is a shared mechanism - they receive testosterone and anti-Müllerian hormone through this link, which are primarily resonsible for masculinizing the freemartin.

In contrast, this mechanism is thought to be only testosterone exposure in utero.

A better comparison, then, might be intra-uterine position in mice [1]. This is similarly a pure testosterone-exposure mechanism (no microchimerism). Briefly, mouse pups are arranged in linear fashion within the uterine horn, and so a given (non-end) female pup has 0, 1, or 2 males adjacent to her. There are clear physiological and behavioral differences in these 0M, 1M and 2M mice, corresponding to the level of testosterone exposure.

I want to point out that I think everything went sideways with Facebook and Twitter. Google is another bad actor, but their zeitgeist felt more accidental. Maybe not, though.

But yes, we have them all tampering with our reality in order to push their political agendas. It feels pretty sinister.

What really opened my eyes was a year ago I decided I was going to retire from tech and go find a job doing something else and every job was ~$15/hr. It didn't matter where I looked, it seems that every job out there that doesn't require years of training (i.e. medicine--and even that has low wage roles for the most part) is just shit wages. I would go from $150/hr to $15/hr and that's just a waste of my time. If it weren't for the unknown future costs of health insurance, I'd do it anyways.
That's really a no brainer.

Having your company survive (because you got something faster to market), and having bugs to deal with later, is a so-called "nice problem to have".

The bug-less software of a dead company does nobody good.
The whole point of that system is that it would alter the plane controls so that it behaves the same as the older models, so that pilots wouldn't need to be retrained. It was one of the main selling points of that aircraft.
My gut tells me that XProtect, SIP, and only allowing software signed by Apple like is the default should be enough for most users to not worry.

"Don't just type in your password" is something everyone using windows or Mac or Linux should be taught.

Don't think I'd bother with this, but interested to see it play out. Maybe it'll have positive detection effects that feed back into XProtect
> Calling it a safety device is a bit of tabloid reporting.

It become a safety critical sensor as soon as flight inputs are directed as a result of its data. For example, bad data has now resulted in 346 deaths, if that isn't safety critical I don't know what the criterion would be.
reneweconomy.com.au is close to tabloid quality; the odds are good that they will correctly report the blindingly obvious but questionable otherwise. They are a few bars above an actual tabloid, I suppose, because at least they aren't trying to run human interest stories.

They push a pleasant barrow in that it will be nice if renewable are the economically best option now; but that site is the last place to look if you want evidence that it is happening.
Probably named that way to throw people off the scent if the project name got leaked
It won't and it can't. Rather it can at the cost of ~20 trillion dollars (23GWh [1] at 900 million [0] for GWh for the Tesla battery).

You need all that energy storage for when it's not sunny (like at night) and not windy and when you're in the middle of a decade long drought [2]. All things Australia is likely to get in the next 15 years.

If you want power without CO2 you either go nuclear or you expect 90% of your grid to go offline about monthly.

Shouldn't this be something that the NSA looks into and prevents?

The NSA works with US companies to secure their systems from espionage.

Shouldn't the NSA be analyzing consumer electronics to make sure they don't spy on US citizens, some of which will have sensitive information or trade secrets on their phones?
Ok, let’s ban drinking for under 30s. Alcohol is clearly far more harmful than cannabis and I sincerely doubt it’s more harmful than speed or medicinal heroin, all of which we ban. If we’re going to ban things for adults why 21 and not 30?
Yeah fair enough too - it isn’t tech related, while political I feel it’s more social but certainly not technical.
You can change the 50% to the 8% by editing that parameter in the code.

According to my CA, individuals might be eligible for both depending on what they do. It's not just for businesses. If you're providing a service, like a freelance programmer, it's 50%. But if you're building your own product, it's 8%. Or some such distinction.

In any case, the script supports both; just change the parameter.
There is no reason to cross the U.S. by train, but I did it anyway
I wonder if this strategy would work with other sorts of abstract problems. The consequences of addiction seem abstract, until they're not, for example. Maybe envision yourself taking actual life threatening poison everytime you think about taking your drug of choice? It might work if you could really make it believable to your subconscious.

Edit: I know some thin people who act like any amount of junk food will destroy they're lives, so it does work for that, though I'm not sure the tradeoff is always worth it...
This morning, the petition was getting about 60 signatures per second. I extrapolated it would reach about 1.15 million by noon. The rate was quite steady, and had accelerated gradually.

Then the site started crashing, and it slowed drastically (between 502 Bad Gateway nginx errors :-), at one point one signature in several minutes.

Then it resumed, but only at 20/s, and intermittently.

Now it is clocking up again, but at about 30/s.

It's impossible to be sure, but with this abrupt change of rates, I think it very likely the outage is continuing to affect many people trying to sign it, and will have a significant effect on the total number of signatures that are achieved.
You are talking about closing tags. I'm talking about self closing tags.

I am, too. My point is that in my mind it feels right to close all tags, either with a closing tag or self-closing it with a /.

One should never use an element as a spacer tag.

One should never use “never” in programming. You are incapable of knowing every possible circumstance someone else is working in.

That's 1990s styling at best.

I built and sold several web sites in the 90’s. That’s not how it was done. It was worse.
Well played by whoever designed this NBC site. Literally had to check the URL to see if it's not The Intercept......
I would argue yes, that it’s a good success story: it took a welter of init scripts, supervisors, logging, event-triggered notification systems, configuration conventions, etc. and provided a single standard mechanism which is easier to work with than any one of those was on its own much less the number of combinations most systems have.
As mentioned, there are updates, but then you could have an upgrade-specific permission (there isn't one).

But even when simply installing, check the workflow that the play store currently have:
When you click "install" in the play store, you don't really want interactions far in the future about it. So the apps' permissions are asked right away.
Without this silent install permission, you would have a pop-up at the end of the download (which can be between few seconds after clicking "install" to several hours if you're unlucky and downloading a big app), asking you to confirm the installation.
Why are you choosing an open source example when the parent thread is about a closed source program?
If that's an official statement, it should probably come with a link to a corresponding press release.

Random hacker news comments aren't the most trustworthy.
I lived in a Japanese university dormitory for a year. Alcohol is absurdly easy for under 20's to purchase. There is essentially no checking of IDs in shops. Most shops have a touch screen point of sale system that will ask "Are you over 20?" if you buy an alcoholic product. Some of those systems only have the "Yes" answer button...
I don't disagree with you on the point here, but how much do the breaks and bags cost? I did a quick search and it seems like the total for all the parts that make up a car is about just over 1/2 of the cost of buying a car. I know replacing an airbag is super expensive. Do the manufacturers pay that much for a new one when they're building the vehicles? I'm more curious than anything.
>It's a lisp that compiles? (transpiles? I never get the difference)

I've seen others make the same claim. How's the difference difficult to get. It might not be 100% clear-cut and have some edge cases, but in common parlance:

Compile -> compiles to executable machine code (or executable bytecode for your VM).

Transpile -> produces code in another language (which is then compiled or interpreted or whatever).
I would argue that it actually ends up having the opposite effect. The culture towards drinking that the US has, means that young people either have to hide really hard that they are in fact drinking, or that they never learn control before much later in life, because they go all in when they are 21. This, funnily enough is after they have had their drivers license for some years, and those two mix bad together (lack of experience drinking, and a drivers license).

I contrast this to my own country, Denmark, where we are much more lax about drinking. You can buy alcohol lower than 16% at age 16, and you can get your drivers license at 18. Parents accept that people will probably slowly start out drinking before this though, and are therefore more involved with this aspect of young people’s lives. This means they also has a chance to supervisor, guide and help their children manage this new experience of being drunk, and educate them on how it works.

At least that’s my armchair take on it :)
Then all treaties the UK is part of with the EU cease to apply

The Treaties shall cease to apply to the State in question from the date of entry
into force of the withdrawal agreement or, failing that, two years after the
notification referred to in paragraph 2, unless the European Council, in agreement
with the Member State concerned, unanimously decides to extend this period.

That includes things like the treaties that allow planes to fly between the UK and EU, or the UK and the U.S (as the treaties covering that are between the EU and US)

Even overflights of EU by UK will struggle - Chicago allows them, but will EU air safety recognize the UK's CAA

There have been various platitudes about how neither side wants this to happen, but not very clear how legally it will happen.
This one hit hard. It's less common now, but it still happens:

CCU: It is a Catholic hospital. “Amazing Grace” plays on the intercom every night at 10. Some nurses kneel when a priest enters the elevator. The head physician of the Respiratory Care Unit next to us refuses all thoughts of terminating care for a non-responsive intubated aged woman whose back ulcers now reveal spinal bone. Her family pleads with him.
> There are a massive number of high-end, 1-br condos being built because that's the type of property which makes sense as an investment instrument.

And the funny thing is that the value of those properties comes to a large degree purely out of the overall rise in real estate prices, not because they satisfy the basic human need of a shelter. I wonder what the price of these properties will do when a real estate crisis hits. They are clearly not a place where people actually want to live.

I’m still on v3 for that reason. On the surface, the immediate value proposition of v4 makes sense: use actual React Components instead of things that look like components but are not. In practice, it introduced so many breaking changes that, to me, it’s always felt like a solution to a problem that didn’t really exist.

That's a really good point.

The AoA disagree could go off as soon as the nose is lifted, which still may give pilots just enough time to abort take-off or immediately request landing.
It seems the NoDeal-petition is much older. It ends in April, and the Remain-petition ends in August. According to the web site, petitions run for 6 months. So it certainly isn't a counter-petition.

They were started with different context, and the remainer petition might only have traction atm because it is new.

Anyway - yeah, let's just decide everything with online petitions. Totally legit.
Catching up real fast, though.
What does it mean for demand to be 23GWh? Over what time period? I didn’t spot that number in the link.
