I used to be okay with legalization because i thought this was true, but experience does not show that. Gangs will want to have their money no matter what. California legalized marijuana (which I think is fine), but we should be realistic about what happens when you do that. Gangs do not go away. They continue to fight for their market share and 'right' to siphon money away to their wars: https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2019/01/califor...

Moreover, fundamentally, these gangs want to engage in criminal business. If you legalize drugs, it's not like there's no more business sectors gangs could engage in. They will continue to exist because there will always be people who do not want to follow the law. Drug legalization may help (although we don't know that), but that doesn't obviate the need for enforcement. More importantly, it does not exculpate those who fund drug wars as some kind of political statement or because it makes them feel better. That is still morally indefensible.
The NP absolutely could have sent the patient to the ER. The vast majority of patients admitted to a hospital come in through the ER.
The utility is not just in it's function but since it's money, also in it's purchasing power and it's network.

Your analogy is more like getting the Facebook database and spinning up 100 clones of it, all with 3 billion users. Now "Facebook" has 300 billion users. It could have a trillion or a quintillion right? Or an infinite amount. But what does that even mean if the actual 3 billion people only use the original network? It means Facebook is still Facebook, and forking it, in terms of how it affects the network it its value, is relatively pointless.

You're not making a real point.
This is an amazing find. I hate AMP sites.

Thanks you so much!
Yes, that is very true. I'm sorry I didn't include that sentiment in my own post. But it does mean that you should press your doctors for information, do your own research, argue with your doctor if you do have a good handle on stats.

I have two. One stays with me, the other in a safe.

Which is legitimately a pain in the ass to register, manage, keep in sync, etc but I only use it for a few very important accounts--Google being one of them.
A demo project to build a simple Spring Boot app using Kotlin, GraphQL and Neo4j
`ls` and many other traditional unix command names are aliased to PowerShell equivalents that don't take the same arguments and often behave very very differently. In `ls`'s case, it's `Get-ChildItem`. It is my opinion that this was one of the worst decisions made by PowerShell and everyone would be better off if they'd never done that.

I don't necessarily agree with the statement above, but the reasoning is that cruise visitors don't stay in hotels or eat breakfast/dinner off the boat. So the boat brings a lot of people all at once that taxes the infrastructure and the only money they spend is on lunch.
I think the "curbside consult" defense is dubious, since, as far as I understood from the article, Fairview is the go-to hospital for residents of the plaintiff's area.

I agree with you on the second part. I wonder if there is actually a clear chain of responsibility in patient->clinic->hospital relationship.
I guess it would be too difficult for Samsung to have the TV run it's own checks? They could be run while the TV was off to avoid impacting the user experience.

But honestly if it's anything like PC antivirus software those scans are useless. If you don't intercept the virus before or while it is installing it's too late. Once it's in there it can hide from regular AV software all day long.
I kind of feel the same way about using macOS. At this point in time if your hardware works with Linux you're missing out on a lot of things by using macOS. Windows/WSL2 removes the hardware compatibility part leaving macOS to catch up.
Our smart TV lives on it's own wifi network, I super don't trust it to interact nicely with other devices on our home network. All the other smart home stuff (smart led lights, etc) lives on it's own network as well.

This might be a dumb question, but: why don't we do glass-style bottles? I live in America now, but when I used to live in Pakistan 20 years ago, I remember that I would buy pepsi or coki in a glass bottle... and if I wanted to buy a second one, I would go back to the store and give them the old empty bottle, and they would compensate me a few pennies for it -- and the bottle then is presumably washed and reused. It's simple, fun, and environmentally friendly. Why don't we do this with... milk, juice, etc.? Why not do this with everything really?
I recently bought a new TV. After reading all the messes with smart TVs I just didn't connect mine to my local network. It's just not connected to the network and I don't intend to connect it.

I do every "smart" activity through a Chomecast device or similar devices anyway.

Now that alone could in theory be a security risk as it could be out of date and vulnerable to someone else messing with it in that sense ... but I felt connecting it was the bigger risk / hassle.

I kinda wish there was just a switch to power off the "smart" options and just have it operate in monitor only mode. I feel the same about microphones and cameras on phones. Give me a physical power off switch and led indicator for those things.
> This will affect all of your styles.

Your example affects all div elements which are not styled. If you also include class and/or ID specific definitions then your padding setting doesn't cascade and those are not affected. That's the point of CSS.

> where you fight to style your local components

That's not true. Style changes do cascade but they only cascade where the designer intends them to cascade. If a designer specifies that all div components shall use the same padding then you can't complain that all div components are using the same padding.

9 Things That Turn Off Developer Candidates
Better compensation for creators is not going to stand up to a multi-million or multi-billion-dollar buyout. Much of the western world has this crazy fascination with tech for the sake of tech, and it is that fascination and subsequent vulnerability that attracts the personalities that have been systematically pillaging all the great things that tech -- particularly lone-wolf individuals -- have built over the years.

It'd be really cool to see more barriers to entry limiting people's ability to access some tech, and limiting the size of businesses that are built around it. The internet was much better when it belongs to and was embraced by nerds, and not the general public, for example.

Our modern world is too complicated for most folks and now we have to build things so overly simplified that it is nearly impossible to be a power user or do advanced tasks when everything is reduced to single-button, shitty-app solutions in the cloud maintained by megacorps with more money than God
From what I know about hospitals the NP is supposed to defer to the doctors.
I still drive a Saab with the night panel option, which turns off all distracting lights and messages at night. Of course there is no screen either.

Driving should be an exercise in focus with the tools to help me do so, even in the proliferation of options (climate, entertainment, etc).

The 17-inch screen in the Model S is just absurd to me. I dont want it. I dont want screens.
“Awaiting Further Demand” Meets HN Hug of Death?
Long story short, an issue I follow, and would really like to see be completed, was moved into the aforementioned status. The link is a list of all of such issues. It would seem they all have some level of "needing to be addressed" but not enough demand. So what if all of HN went in and commented or upvoted an issue or two they felt was worthy?

I had decent luck with Nuitka[1] as long as the project is 100% python. The executables are large but have been mostly portable IME (some glib problems can arise though).

Largest project I compiled was only ~1000 lines but used external deps of pymysql, jinja2, ldap3 along with the stdlib's shutil, tempfile, pathlib, and the base os lib without issues. It takes ~30 minutes to compile on a decently powerful machine though (8650u and 32gb of ram). Most of this time was spent on pymysql and jinja2's compilation.

Samsung TVs should not be online: it’s proven you can’t trust them. It phones home and reports your usage - even every time you press the volume button.

I totally understand the business case for touchscreens in cars. It's all about reducing cost to the business, but this usually comes at the expense of safety, which is a totally unacceptable tradeoff.
This happened to me years ago.

One of the neighbors saw someone rummaging around in their car, called the police. Unluckily for them, it was the wife of a police officer in town. Double unluckily, I have a number of outside Nest cameras and caught them not only breaking into (checking for unlocked doors) her car, but walking down the street and checking every single car. Triple unlucky, I have 4 or so local cops on my block and none of them were amused. They even stole a few bucks out of my car!

My footage positively identified the thieves, who we quickly realized were kids (17 and 18) and they were very quickly caught (don't break into cars and really don't break into local PD's spouses cars!). I assume nothing ever went to trial or there was any serious resistance as I was never contacted to authenticate the video footage or testify in any capacity.
I think because it’s pretty cheap (free) to make inspiring speeches to privileged American students about an esoteric ‘right to be human’.

Meanwhile Apple effectively withholds tax from a range of countries who would probably use that to provide basic social services to those in need of them, or runs (through its contractors) factories that withhold basic human rights from staff.
How about open sourcing the code running on it or at least letting us run our own software?

A lot of apps that came with my TV from Samsung have been removed over the years as they stopped supporting them. For example Skype. So I paid for a TV with Skype, now it has no more Skype.

> an admission that an position is controversial enough that a major world power thought it prudent to enforce that opinion with violent force

But that is the point of Wilson's: the US will (or rather should) back the right to self-determination. That has been the case for a century, and completely doing away with it (or witholding it from its very own citizens) would be a regression.

> Secession can also cause violence

Absolutely, as we've seen in the Balkans. And that's why I'm not a fan of independentist movements, in general. I just don't think one can sustain Wilson in some scenarios and not in others, as a principle. One can calculate pros and cons and allow secession only if certain conditions are met, but we cannot dismiss it with prejudice.
The updates btw got a lot better even for Windows 10 Home users. It can be argued if letting users turn off the updates is a overall good idea or not but at least you have more flexibility in postponing them with 1903.
Good for them - until recently it had never occurred to me that many “recycling” programs were just “send it to another country”.

It wasn’t until someone on HN pointed out to me that even most plastic “recycling” is just shredding and using for things like carpet.

The long term solution seems to replace most plastics with paper/cardboard and actually compostable materials (which doesn’t really include the compostable plastics)
The journalistic objectivity of many of the online publishers has gotten worse and worse over the past 10 years in my opinion on all sides of the political spectrum.

"Objectivity in journalism aims to help the audience make up their own mind about a story, providing the facts alone and then letting audiences interpret those on their own. To maintain objectivity in journalism, journalists should present the facts whether or not they like or agree with those facts. Objective reporting is meant to portray issues and events in a neutral and unbiased manner, regardless of the writers opinion or personal beliefs."

Taken from - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journalistic_objectivity

Then you have an article from Vox which highlights exactly my thoughts.

"Most journalists are, whether they think of themselves this way or not, explainers. They are in the business of making sense of the torrent of information constantly deluging us all.

That obviously can and does include an enormous range of journalists and an enormous range of voices, formats, and subjects. Some journalists prefer the “objective,” distanced tone that marked most journalism in the late 20th century. Some prefer to have a distinctive voice and perspective."

That last sentence, at least in my opinion is where someone shifts from journalist to someone who is only trying to proselytize their worldview.

There's a difference between a software firm that has the infrastructure to develop new products and a, for example, financial firm, that will consume products and maybe tie all of that together with their own custom solution. If it already exists, and being consumed and actively developed, it's way more efficient to just buy a license than to create your own solution.

Cars aren't going to get you across the atlantic. And planes tend to be more efficient overall than cars in long hauls efficiency wise, both in people carried, and overall efficiency/emissions. Those turbofans are much more efficient at approaching the carnot limit than your small car engine is. Scale matters.

>With all the cruise and shipping companies this article feels like a political attack on Carnival.

Does everything have to be a conspiracy? Do you really think the small team at EcoHustler, who I had not heard of until this article, has a "political" agenda against Carnival? Is their analysis irrelevant because it didn't do a comparison against every other shipping company? Are we not allowed to point out that "this company is bad" without also stating, "but so are all these other companies?"

>Wonder what happened if they ran the stats on Maersk who has the largest fleet of 700 ships in the world.

Do you genuinely wonder that? I'll tell you, with zero research: Maersk is also really bad. What does that add to the discussion?
I simply do not want a "smart" TV. No internet access, no apps - just a lot of HDMI inputs, CEC, and a display. Sadly, this is getting harder and harder to find. When I went to buy last time, Costco didn't have any "dumb" TVs, so all I did was refuse to hook it up to the internet.

I got a Roku and a Chromecast. Those provide better "smart" functionality than any TV ever could.
Extended warranty is bullshit if you have to waste time going to the Genius Bar and then having your keyboard break after the warranty. That was the minimum possible thing they could do to avoid lawsuits.
20 years ago, I'm willing to bet the number of IT degrees overseas was a small fraction compared to today. Over the last 20 years the market has reacted to the conditions available and lead to the situation we have now.
Conceptually embedded devices shouldn't even have writeable storage for malware to persist. This doesn't require a special operating system or a kernel patch, Linux (which is popular for these types of devices) natively supports read only storage.

You can have a small read/write volume where update bins are placed. Upon reboot, a pre-boot environment checks the bin's cryptographic signature, and if it passses it then extracts the bin, overwriting the the read only filesystem and a second reboot occurs allowing normal boot into the updated OS where the file system is again read only.

This is how e.g. the Playstation works. Amongst several vehicle manufacturer's infotainment units. Even Windows uses a pre-boot environment to write certain "hard lock" files and registry areas. This is not wild "pie in the sky" thinking, this is an industry norm or was.

Why does a smart TV that's meant primarily for streaming content directly from the internet need a R/W file system? Settings? Couldn't that be stored in a micro-volume without execute flag and SELinux limits?
aka the need to let others know that you were right about something no matter how little they care. If there was a word for that, I feel like we'd already be seeing it daily on HN.
There is nothing to fix, Apple is taking advantage of other countries' tax laws to hold the money offshore indefinitely so they can get a sweetheart deal to repatriate it. The only "fix" is to never give Apple a break on bringing that money back
Looks like a soviet dystopian version of Pittsburgh, as if it weren't bad enough already.
> No programming required.

I'm of the opinion that spreadsheets are programming and, in fact, represent their own paradigm of data-focused, document-centric programming with tons of implicit parallelism and, as you mentioned, implicit control flow similar to declarative languages.

It's sneaking pure functional programming in through the back door, in fact, and it's only a conceit that it somehow isn't programming.

We transfer most freight by slow container ships instead of fast airplanes because it's much more efficient: It's less expensive, requires less energy-per-kilo, and amortizes the cost of the vehicle over a larger volume of cargo.
Does Russia have a national paint shortage? So much of this stuff would look 100x better with just a little cleaning/rust removal and repainting. Almost every picture in that album shows something that should have been repainted 20 years ago to inhibit rust formation.

> The American Affordability Crisis is the worst kept secret in history

Who thought it was a secret? Was anyone trying to keep it a secret? The entire media talks about it all the time. I'm not sure what the author why the author is using this idiom here - it doesn't seem to apply in any way.
The point is there's a Venn diagram where these two standards overlap.
Plastic is cheaper and doesn’t shatter. Some states in the US still have the refund thing for bottles. I’ve seen a vending machine in NYC for bottle refunds and one in Munich, Germany.

When I was in Central America they wouldn’t let you leave the store with the bottle. They would provide a plastic bag where you could sip the coke out with a straw.
If you're using Docker on Linux in WSL2, how well are volume mounts to the host OS? I try not to use them in Docker Desktop as, for example, a sqlite3 file in the host and the guest access will eventually corrupt the file in my experience. MSSQL in docker also performs at about 1/100th the throughput if I put the data files in a volume.

I've hence been avoiding volumes for things other than static files or backup/restore directories.
Things like this are why I kind of despise the "smart TV" movement.

I can't blame people for using them, they're convenient as hell, but at some level I have trouble seeing why the TV needs to have the computer built into it. To me, a TV should be a more-or-less "mechanical" device that does one thing and one thing only: display video.

Obviously, though, this only defers the error over to AppleTV or AndroidTV or whatever computer you have plugged in. I guess with the (admittedly awesome) advent of streaming-all-the-things, stuff like viruses are an inevitability.

Pipe notching templates work exceedingly well (once you figure out printer scaling vagaries and measure multiple times) because you can just hack off what's marked on the outside of the pipe, and then take a grinding wheel to the inside angles until they fit flush with a sample pipe.
