I actually believe it's both.

I believe that the cap on deductions was a deliberate attack on blue states; I also believe a lot of people who received a tax cut believe that their taxes had risen.
These particular ones are $29.95/month, and don't appear to include any sort of scanning, verification, etc. So there's not even a "theater level" attempt to relate to security.
I am told my stature alone is 'threatening' and 'agressive'. My freedon to express myself without fear of imprisonment is affected in many situations. I find this verbage frightening when written in law without very clear and unambigious definitions.
Sure, all law is an exercise of authority, and hence authoritarianism. The commenter was merely calling out that... no matter how you dice it... a new law is always authoritarian, whether you acknowledge it or not.

Saying 'this law is not authoritarian' is always a contradiction.
It’s very hard to just cut out gluten since almost no one eats straight gluten as a major part of their diet, unless they really really love tempeh. My personal hypothesis is that most non-celiac people who do this and get a major benefit actually get the benefit from removing wheat from their diet.

This is consistent with people who entirely incorrectly claim that sourdough bread is GF. Traditional sourdoughs give bacteria and yeasts a lot of time to eat various sugars and starches.
There is no HTML parsing library in TXR, yet the code still looks good.

TXR Lisp has support for that type of functional transformation of structured data, with fairly tidy syntax. If a need for a full blown HTML parsing library arises, someone will come up with one; maybe me. It could end up integrated into the TXR flex/Yacc parser, which would make it fast.

In the "Get n-th Field" task, what we can do is snarf the data as a string, then remove all the commas and semicolons. It then parses as a TXR Lisp with the lisp-parse function, resulting in this:

(create table (qref "def" something)
(f01 char (10) f02 char (10) f03 char (10) f04 date)
create table (qref "abc" something)
(x01 char (10) x02 char (1) x03 char (10))
create table (qref "ghi" something)
(z01 char (10) z02 intr (10) z03 double (10) z04 char (10) z05 char (10)))

That seems to open an avenue to a solution. E.g. we can now partition it into pieces that start with the create symbol:

28> (partition *26 (op where (op eq 'create)))
((create table (qref "def" something) (f01 char (10) f02 char (10) f03 char (10) f04 date))
(create table (qref "abc" something) (x01 char (10) x02 char (1) x03 char (10)))
(create table (qref "ghi" something) (z01 char (10) z02 intr (10) z03 double (10) z04 char (10) z05
char (10))))

Now the (qref "def" something) parts are in fixed positions, followed by fixed-shape triplets.

Only problem with this type of solution is that it takes the example data too literally. The user's actual data might not cleanly parse this way.
I'm curious what the external effects will be for disposal of EOL solar panels, wind turbines, and batteries. They don't have the same regulation as nuclear and it seems to be ignored in these discussions -- solar panels leech extremely toxic chemicals into the water table if not properly disposed of... which we have no regulation for yet as far as I'm aware.

Nuclear has far more regulation and decades of operational experience. Newer designs are incredibly safe and offer far more power, constantly, than renewables alone.

I think we can all agree that a mix is in our future however I think the article is probably spot on that fear of nuclear technology, however misplaced, is a significant contributor to its slow adoption and greater expense.

I just need to remember that the check-in agents at small Scottish airports don't arrive until 90 min before the first flight of the day. Even if the first flight is 11am. It was pretty weird getting there at 9 and the BA desk was empty with no lights on. I ran into the same thing at Edinburgh a few years ago, but my habit is 2 hours before flights because I've been screwed by long security lines at IAD in the past.
> Surely you're not comparing the rate of near misses in nuclear to the rate of actual deaths in coal?

I wasn't comparing anything of the kind. Please read my comment again.
This paper seems to assume that "ultra-processed" is a previously defined term. Is there an agreed upon definition somewhere?
Sure, but the article also explains things like how the appetite-suppressing hormone was found in much higher levels in the group consuming unprocessed foods.

So I think I'd focus on facts like that before circling back to "well, it was probably tastier, they just didn't know it."
It is not hard to identify each abuser, my point is that in a large pool you will have lots of small abusers to go thru and vet. When someone is using dedicated IP that's what it is. Its dedicated so you immediately know whether the actors acts in bed faith or not (perhaps sent a few more-than-usually-spam-looking messages).

I don't know whats going on with Sparkpost honestly. I actually uncovered a large international scam artist (CNN did an investigative reporting on similar one milking population to the tune of $400MM/annul) with over 30 dedicated IPs running thru Sparkpost network, but frankly they don't care. I reported that multiple times and also tried to talk to them about it over twitter but they quickly banned me. I think their rules in terms of anti-spam/anti-scam are more guidelines than rules they abide by. I would imagine someone with such vast setup brings tens of thousands of dollars in revenue, so that makes sense why they would turn a blind eye. Its sad actually, the CNN reporting was about broken families and suicides that were to some degree a result of emails' content that perpetrators sent (like romance-type scams send to seniors in hopes to get them send money oversees).

I guess if Rich Harris sleeps well at night knowing his company abides in scam artists pushing senior citizens into taking their own lives, then the business continues as usual. But its sad IMHO nonetheless...
No courage in that! The true courage is in admitting I was stupid enough to take a stab at their challenge.

The interview itself was a whole other tale of awfulness but I'll limit my overview of it here to saying that they didn't bring up the coding challenge once despite being repeatedly asked for feedback before, during and after the interview. Maybe they felt awkward about saying how crap they thought it was? Be pretty weird to bring me in for an interview in that case though...
> I just think that asking people to vote for that is even more impossible than getting them to vote for nuclear.

GP still has a point: asking people to vote for nuclear sounds hard because of the perceived risks, but even if there was no perception of risk, it'll still be very hard to justify the costs to voters.
I believe this comes from the construction and maintenance related deaths (i.e. falling off a roof when installing solar panels).

I don't know if it's accurate or not, though.
My apologies. I shouldn't have done this.
Ah.. the old "some people" logical fallacy. Sorry, I don't wish to enter into an internet argument with you. Have a nice day..
Right. My immediate thought on starting to read the article, was that there must be an older establishment in Asia.
Has the US Navy worked out what no one else has yet? What to do with all the toxic waste?

Hiding it in a mountain and hoping for the best is hardly a solution.

The US Navy also has effectively as much money as it ever needs to “decommission” reactors. How many private reactors have their decommissioning costs adequately covered? Everything I’ve read says most estimates from time of construction were woefully inadequate and thus any money that may have been squirrelled away to pay for decommissioning will fall way short of what’s required.

What you’re saying may or may not come true one day but it’s not on anyone’s road map today. Your last sentence veers into science fiction.
You're getting downvoted, but I understand the sentiment. It's amazing to me that people talk about nuclear power as if it's something that we'd ideally be able to avoid outright. Nuclear is getting safer every year (and it's already safer than everything else we're currently using in terms of deaths caused and environmental damage per unit of energy, at least[1]), and people want to just shut it down? I can at least understand a sort of "nuclear isn't ready yet" stance, but I'm baffled by the idea that the end goal is to just not utilise this whole area of physics for energy production at all. You can understand the opposition in the 1970s/80s and even 90s when things were still being ironed out, but at this point, in 2019, it does seem like it's creeping towards anti-vax levels of science-denial.

Relocations boil down to this:

A relocation entry contains a location of the patch, the symbol to use in relocation, an optional addend, and a type. The type tells you how to compute the relocation and is completely defined by the processor-specific ABI.

The simple relocations boil down to "add the addend to the address of the symbol, subtract the address of the relocation, and store it as signed N-bit number". There are more complex relocations that involve things such as symbol sizes, TLS relocations, or the GOT and the PLT.

Fried chicken is not all that bad. Properly deep fried food absorbs a surprisingly small amount of oil.
Do you really think that's an appropriate question for an entry-level developer?
Oh totally. If next gen nuclear can help decarbonize the last 10%, that would be great. However the tone in OP's comment seemed more like nuclear is our only hope. When in reality it will likely be something to meet edge cases rather than base load.

Storage is talked about in the similar ways as molten salt reactor. It is a nice concept but I don't know any nation which energy grid uses it.

It would be great if Germany replaced all their natural gas power plants in favor of storage. It is the perfect solution and it would end the nuclear power discussion rather quickly if nations would actually start to use it rather then building more gas based power plants.

I am in the political camp that says we should ban all burning of fossil fuels today. Doing so would create all the incentives needed to answer the question of storage vs nuclear in a very short time.
What does this do that knowing where the student went to school and how much their parents make (both things that colleges know) doesn't?

It seems like yet another opaque metric to be gamed by the people with the resources to spend optimizing for those sort of things.

"Over 11000 people will die PER YEAR if we switch to nuclear energy!!"

Despite that, I use a similar argument to that graph on the (rare) occasions I've discussed nuclear energy with friends and family.
That is unconstitutional in most countries, because you have a right to a public trial. In the United States, it's especially illegal, since the press has a right to free reporting, including public trial.

The danger here is the government starting to weaponize this 'freedom', by designating mundane crimes as 'terrorism' and then holding secret trials. Given that this is precedented, and leads to significantly worse outcomes (including full-on genocide), it seems that it's probably better to just accept that there will be mass shootings. After all, even adding up all the mass shootings in the world, you will still not come close to the slaughter's perpetrated by governments holding secret trials of dissidents
Would be comical if Sony still claimed that they can't allow crossplay.
We don't know how much the EPA affected anything. In the past people didn't realize how bad pollution was so they didn't see why to care: people have been dumping trash in rivers for thousands of years to no noticeable ill effect (such trash was mostly organic matter that the fish could eat and in small quantities until the very end of that). Companies are directed by people, and they started caring: they did two things in parallel: start the EPA and clean up their act. We can only guess how things would be different if the EPA had been ruled unconstitutional (I can't even think how you could construct a parallel universe where the people running a company didn't care but the EPA existed and had teeth).

I do know the EPA fines are a cost of doing business to some. A few of them have decided that the public relations problems were getting too bad and cleaned up their act.

Stop trying to make nuclear power a thing. It's not happening. We're all concerned about the state of the aging plants in the US and many are not hardened enough for the impact of climate change.
France itself is saying it shouldn't build a new round of of nuclear power plants and instead should invest in renewables & storage (and would save money and risk) going that route.

If you look at the timeline and frequent schedule overruns of nuclear plants we can't build them fast enough in the US to make a critical difference at this point. If you look at China without many of the supposed anti-nuclear legal deterrents, their projects were getting more and more overrun vs estimates and they halted all new plants except for a couple plants of their own design. (and those obviously have self-development motivations). They're trying to finish their initial round of plants right now and likely have come to a similar conclusion of too slow, too expensive vs renewables.
Perhaps this was mentioned on a different HN post/thread, but Azure facilities/farms are more widely distributed from a global-geographic perspective than either GCP or AWS. For game streaming, this should - in theory - provide a slight edge in speed.

I doubt the GP is unaware of food regulations. Like pretty much everything else in life, what matters is degree and nuance. The government saying that e.g. milk must meet a minimum level of XYZ is not the same as the government telling us that we can no longer drink milk at all.
Here is two pieces of diet advice:

1) At the grocery store, shop the edges (Fruit, Vegetables, Meat, Fish) just stay away from things with a nutrition label.

2) Don't drink calories. Water, Tea, Coffee (no artificial sweeteners).

Fixes most peoples problems.
Study participants on the ultra-processed diet ate an average of 508 calories more per day and ended up gaining an average of 2 pounds over a two-week period.

Is this a fair trial? Popular science [0] claims that ~3500 calories equals a pound. Well, 508 extra calories a day for 14 days = 7112 calories, or about 2 pounds worth of calories.

Edit: whoops! I was missing the fact that the people in the trial controlled how much they ate themselves. I incorrectly assumed that they were given the food.

It also hurts R&D. A state-subsidized solar panel factory might use inefficient, wasteful production methods which could not compete in something closer to a market economy. This can have negative externalities for the state, end-users, and society.
The author doesn't even understand what's wrong with large binaries and writes nonsence about Internet connection speed. Main problem is that statically built libraries are not shareable. For example, if you have two Electron applications, each with its own copy of Chrome, then every Chrome will take about 100 Mb only for code section (not counting data, stack which typically will be much larger) and together they take 200 Mb. But if those applications didn't ship their own copy of Chrome and used the same libraries then the code would be shared and took only 100 Mb of RAM. That is, 100 millions of bytes of RAM are saved.

The more RAM such applications take, the higher is probability that the system will get out of RAM and start swapping. And in this case the system will become so slow that it won't matter what kind of Internet connection you have.

The problem of non-shareable code is also actual for interpreted languages like Javascript, Python or Java. When running such applications, their code and byte-code generated from it often are not shareable. So if you run two copies of desktop JS application, that uses some JS library, you can get two copies of this library in memory. As I remember, Android uses some clever trick that allows sharing compiled Java code. Most other interpreted languages cannot do it.

Also, a fun fact: if you are using Gnome-shell on Wayland and the system starts swapping, computer can stop responding even to mouse movement, and you won't be able even to switch to other VT.
I wonder how much of the correlation between income and SAT scores is due to wealthier people's children just being more intelligent, rather than due to having access to better education.
For a study that mentions keto/low-carb diets directly a few times I would've loved to see a group consuming these "ultra-processed foods" but selecting only from those with low glycemic index/carb count.

I'm definitely happy to see Windows getting closer, but I do think it's important to state up front that this is "pre-alpha" currently. Depending on you use case, that is super important.
Memory chips used to be high tech RD until not that long ago but afaik the US isn’t producing any of them anymore and one of the biggest players in this market is South Korea through Samsung, a conglomerate which 100% receives State subsidies in one way or another. My perception is that no-one in the US is losing any sleep over this because the people who could be potentially upset by this state of affairs are pretty busy investing their money and time resources in other, more lucrative endeavors.

But trade wars have always relied on demagogy and plain nationalism, and saying stuff like “we should build our own solar panels” when it has been rationally proved that the best course of affairs is to take the money handed on a silver plate to your own consumers/tax-payers and move on to other economic tasks is plain nationalism bordering on isolationism.

> These offsets represent things like wind farms in Texas that were built years ago -- buying a "credit" for this electricity does nothing to add new renewable capacity to the grid, remove more carbon from the atmosphere, or change our emissions landscape in any way whatsoever

The producer being able to sell those credits going forward is what made the plant economical to build in the first place.

How are other credits for "new renewable capacity" any different? That new plant is going to be producing renewable energy and selling renewable energy credits for long after it gets built. The projected returns from selling those credits is part of the financing they used to build it.

If more people are trying to buy RECs, the market value of those RECs goes up, and it enables more producers to invest in new renewable capacity because they'll be able to sell RECs for more money.

Of course the additional credits on the market could push prices back down if a lot gets built (woo fucking hoo, that's what we're trying to encourage!), and the market demand for more credits to purchase is also increasing as governments pass requirements for XX% renewable capacity by YYYY year.
Soon we will have SAT advisers suggesting how to game the "adversity score" as well.

The heroification and myth-making is, again, I think a little much. It's a job, it's working to make somebody else wealthy. It's not "a part of you" any more than any other job; it just becomes what you're used to.

Frankly I think most people who have taken a few turns in startup-land should try freelance consulting on for size. I'm explicitly not doing it right now for other, personal reasons, but I'll go back to it eventually; it's the arena in which your skills are really as-fairly-as-possible valued and where you can realize some really outlandishly-sized gains for a lot of organizations if you hustle.

And, having spent time in startups, you've already internalized that your job might disappear tomorrow. ;) Consulting at least lets you spread out that risk both in terms of clients and in terms of billing.
You can make seitan from scratch. I start with vital wheat gluten (and chickpea flour and nutritional yeast), which is technically a processed product. But you could start with flour if you wanted to.

The end result is a product with 3 or 4 simple ingredients, compared to that fairly large list of unknowns.
I hope one day, well I actually hope to be alive to see, that one day humanity will have enough understand of the brain to teach us our cognitive limitations and how to effective work around/out them. Not long ago I quit one of my jobs because I simply couldn’t learn to be effective due to meetings and all the interruptions commonly seen in an open office/agile/start-up company. Seriously, I can’t be a better engineer in such environment.
Oh god. The original idea sounds good on paper, but, oh god.
Extremism to a Westerner perhaps. Certainly, the ideology behind North Korea would be censored in most of the proposals on this thread, but given that the government of north korea would not and it is the only government with any control over the country of North Korea, I don't understand by what metric you could possibly say it's extremism. Unless you're appealing to divine justice or something, which would be great, but I sincerely doubt it.
Tempeh isn't gluten, you might be thinking of seitan.
