Facebook Asked to Stop Libra Implementation by US House of Representatives
Why is this flagged?

Posts about Xinjiang/China are being flagged by users. There's another post about it. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20337797

Can moderators do something about this censorship?
Exactly. I get very frustrated by these conversations..

Wood sequesters CO2. Growing more wood will, trivially, sequester more CO2. Is that sequester "as good" as sequestering it deep underground? That depends. If it is sequestered by an ecosystem that persists over time - in other words, if it is sequestered in a forest, and that forest remains there even if the individual trees die and decay - then yes. The CO2 that is pulled out of the atmosphere stays out of the atmosphere unless the forest disappears.
I've wanted this for a while, in combo with a head-tracking cabin camera. That way the windscreen would tint in specific areas over the sun, oncoming headlights, and glare.

You can't use LCs, as they don't have a real "clear" mode- they always block a very significant amount of light. You'd have to use electrochromatic paint or similar, as some trains and airplanes do. It's expensive and a chipped windscreen would be awful. You also can't get great resolution. I still wish somebody would do it.
Generating good error messages from code analysis tools is harder than it looks
I've always had a good handle on my emotions; ftmp from sports psychology training in my college golf days. Meditation reinforces that kind of mindfulness, but to me provides other value... Introspection is very important and useful to me. Meditation provides a new perspective/dimension from which to observe my mental processes. Not to mention several "ego-dissolution" [1] experiences on retreat have been quite powerful.

>Where nuclear fails…

Nuclear fails because the public is uncomfortable with these plants, not for any technical or cost reason. Though to your point you could avoid spending the R&D on safety technologies and instead spend it on marketing which would likely yield better results.
This reads like the placeholder template text for a landing page sold on Envato.

Credulous VCs deserve the ride they’re being taken on
I don't think BMW started an EV division to take on the prius though (I could be mistaken). The point being that Tesla is forcing the industry hand to move faster than it would on its own. That isn't to say the Prius didn't have an impact but Tesla carries significantly more weight in catalyzing progress than the Prius.
You lost me at the part about partitions. It might help if those gifs were labeled.
This idea that Tesla dragged everyone else "kicking and screaming" into the electric era idea is nonsense. Nissan was shipping Leaf models in the tens of thousands a year when Tesla was still producing just a few hundred Roadsters.

Problems with nuclear:

- waste mgmt
- safety
- proliferation risk
(for uranium-/plutonium-based reactors,
not so much for thorium-based reactors)
- outrageous construction costs
- heat pollution (heat discharge into local waters)
- baseload-only
- slow to blackstart

Thorium reactor designs solve the first three issues only (unless they can be blackstarted soon after a blackout -- do thorium reactors suffer from poisoning?), in which case they'd solve four of the above problems. Or perhaps thorium reactors can be cheap to build? (I'll believe that when I see it, but only then will nuclear [fission] begin go be appealing.)

The only good things about nuclear are that the fuel is cheap (maybe) and it has no air pollution (barring accidents). That's not enough to justify the issues.
I first read that book when I was 13 and I still go back for another read every few years. Not only did it make the subject accessible, it didn't over simplify. The stories of the people making the discoveries kept it personal and engaging throughout, and Feigenbaum's chapter(s) were my favorite. After finishing the book, you never see the world the same way again.

precision vs recall.

if it correctly finds anyone on the watch list, but they comprise only 19% of the results returned, and the police force knows it, that strikes me as a great screening tool. just need some people to sift through it.

i doubt it finds the folks on the watch list that reliably though.

As with every resource-depletion issue like this, the obvious answer is to reduce the number of humans. Consider never reproducing instead of trying to think of some clever technological solution.
This. With the slight nuance that it works better if you don't think of it as queues, since that suggests messages being removed when processed.

The big win when introducing Kafka is that (apart from the schema) it completely decouples producers and consumers of messages. That in turn reduces the required coordination between independent teams within an organisation.
My experience with multiple identity systems matches the mainframe or mainframe era explanation. Old systems had to draw a line. So they did. And those lines still ripple like waves through modern systems even now.
The purpose of the system is to aid police in finding people on a wanted list. On average someone using this system only needs to look at 5 photos to spot someone, whereas without it they would need to look at thousands. The police are probably quite satisfied with the system's 19% hit rate.
This reminds me of those attempts to "record" people's consciousnesses by feeding all their digital communications into neural nets. But this is somehow even worse.
Just because requirements change, doesn't automatically imply the original design was bad.

"They further report that much of the new growth came about due to efforts by humans (such as reforestation efforts in China and parts of Africa) and because of global warming—warmer temperatures have raised timberlines in some mountainous regions, and allowed forests to creep into tundra areas. Other areas of new tree growth resulted from large farm abandonments in places like Russia and the U.S. The researchers report that their calculations showed that human activities have directly caused approximately 60 percent of new global tree growth. They suggest their technique for monitoring tree cover could be used to predict tree cover changes in the future due to global warming."

So reforestation efforts led by humans has contributed to this change. AND global warming caused by humans has caused the tundra to warm up enough that forests have moved up there.

That could be said about anything really. The Chinese companies will inevitably fail because they will never venture outside of china in any meaningful way that would be sustainable for them.

The Zaibatsus will fail because of aging population and traditionalism.
The Chaebols will fail because of archaic hierarchy of the korean society.
I think if only 1% of the global population reproduced for a few generations it would be way more effective than tree planting. It seems like all the environmental "fixes" are external, and not related to our replication rate.
If you ever thought that the raspberry pi was a $35 computer then I have a bridge to sell. The fact that it doesn't even come with a cheap plastic case should already be a warning signal that it's going to cost more than that.

It's true that it does not sell all the items Walmart does, but it does point towards Walmart having not quite as much of a physical space monopoly as you presented.

It also points towards the ability of other companies to compete with Walmart in niche areas (at least niche compared to Walmart). I could see a future where a few chains each carve out a chunk of the more popular Walmart inventory and out-compete Walmart on physical location, as Dollar General has done.

You can kind of imagine them as CPU cache layers. In-town local stores are L1 cache with great speed but relatively poor choice for all but the most common items, Walmart is L2 cache with good speed (not still slower for most, as it's a ways away for the majority of people) and better selection, and the internet is general memory with everything you might need, but slow speed. There has been a major upheaval in the L! level because of both a major shift in how close/fast and large L2 got (a shift from major cities to large complexes in rural areas) and a huge boost in general access (the internet), but I don't think it's all played out yet, since I think there's still need at the local level that's not fulfilled well anymore.

Sorry for the tortured analogy, but it did probably save time on both ends.
I would argue that this definitely depends at which company. The most important position is where the most important component is, and if that's web/front-end, well that'll be the most important position.

Not a ton of difference, so I am not sure data backs this up :). I will say that from my view on the backend, we do see more micro outages where services are more resilient now. And, outages only affect certain areas or nodes...

Thanks, Ben
It seems closer to bittorrent than anything blockchain related.

Specifically it seems like a better version of bittorrent. It seems to be more resilient that bittorrent, better able to do updates than bittorrent (they apparently promise to have live updates by multiple writers, implying one could host for example a live database in a dat URL), better able to find optimal peers than bittorrent, better security around discovery, a flexible datamodel (e.g. the data being shared does not have to be files and folders, where as bittorrent would require wrapping that in a file, this can allow the transparency through the protocol layer)
I'm not an expert, but doesn't this mean that they actually captured wanted people? Even with an abysmal rate, it's a more-targeted snatching of people walking by, resulting in arrests of known criminals?
Try out nixos instead :-)
I have written on this exact subject beginning around 2000. Nobody freaking listened! You would think that "best minds" at the NSA and places would understand the basic statistical reality of what they are doing and why it can't work, but no, statism clouds the mind and profits cloud good judgement.

Basically, if the natural error rate of a database is 5%, you aren't going to data mine a terrorist out of it if terrorists are < 1% (try .001%) of the population. Not. Gonna. Happen.

What is happening is our rights are being stripped and we have a rogue FBI that manufactures criminals when it wants to grab headlines and what's more, we have PROOF that they done exactly that.

We could also install cameras in every home and require people to wear a forever listening microphone at all times that the government can access at any time. This would stop a lot of crime. But I wouldn't call it successful. I guess my point is we need to have higher standards then this tech is preaching and since it is nothing like it seems, this is nothing more then a magic black box that the police would love to be able to use to pick people out of a crowd.

Please don't do this. If your website is your resume, and you intentionally obscure it from me, I'm not going to hire you.
I run a large scale national survey. We download the data from our survey platform. Survey respondents are asked 100+ questions. The questions change week to week and so the column names are not consistent. We exclude respondents who appear to be cheating the system (rushing through questions, straight-lining, skipping almost every question, etc.) As part of our completion check, we want to do a row-wise map of the data frame e.g. apply(respondents, 1, completion_function). For the sake of this post, let's say that the desired completion function is simply to return the number of NAs in the row -- sum(is.na(x)). I don't care about the name of the variables, I just want to treat each row as a vector one at a time, then perform the operation, and return it as a mutated variable.

When I wrote code to do this, the preferred tidyverse routes would either be to 1:nrow(df) %>% map(function(index) { row = df[index, ] }) or else df %>% pmap(function(.... laundry list of variables here)) { }. A brief Google shows this has gotten worse in the last few years as dplyr deprecated rowwise operations. I do see stack overflow posts of people writing their own tidy/pipe-friendly row-wise iteration functions, but nothing official.

Maybe I missed something. I am a reasonably competent R programmer and package author, but I don't live and breathe tidyverse data-wrangling the way some people do.

Put another way: they are saying that 81% of positive flags are actually false positives. Yikes. That might be better than random chance, but in the court of law that should hardly be considered evidence.
This is what I like about it: my junior had an ask from management to profile a customer task, as a single process, and as a concurrent job to simulate more than one simultaneous client. I'm nonzero suspicious it was asked to try to get him to trip up and have an excuse to can him. I instructed him to do the job in elixir. He got it done, then I wrapped it in task.async one-line, and it just worked and he understood what was going on, and was able to generalize the concurrency rules.

The elixir standard library is just full of things that make your concurrent programming seamless, easy, and bulletproof, even for a junior that's never done things that way.

I can't imagine him getting this correct with python async, JavaScript promises and callbacks, or having to create go channels.
The issue is still design/construction and political red tape. It sometimes takes decades to fund and build a nuclear plant, and we don't have decades. We should be focusing on easily deployable solar and wind, even in developed countries. I'm not against existing nuclear power plants (I get my energy from a CANDU reactor), I just think we need to ramp up solar because it kills two birds with stone by tackling the issue in all parts of the world simultaneously.
Perovskite solar panels are entering commercialisation at the moment, they will get 30% efficiency and above within the next few years.
That depends on what the purpose is. Assuming very few suspects in a large crowd, it sounds like it's acting as a pretty strong filter, especially if it has few false negatives. "5x the number of actual suspects" seems like probably a practical number to sort through manually.

That's not to say that I have particular confidence that the system is being deployed effectively, much less ethically, but your dismissal is unsound.
Who wrote this?

"This demo car’s prototype cells can convert solar energy at 34% and up"

34% what?

Libraries are also a good way to tour a city. Get a transit card from a grocery store or a convenient store (also a lotto ticket because you never know).

Start with the main branch, then on to the various neighborhood branches. It’s important to pick a section you are interested in beforehand. Fiction might be too overwhelming, so I’d go for the math or computer technology sections.

Once you’ve done this in multiple cities you can compare the sizes of those sections between different cities and how current the books are, i.e, for tech books, do they have books on the latest trend in programming languages.

Go to coffee shops and bakeries in between. I can usually squeeze in the main branch and one or two neighborhood branches in a day. Research the city to figure out which neighborhood libraries to go.

There are kernels of truth in this document that circle around a politics/bureaucracy issue in FreeBSD that has existed forever. But the overall motif about security is laughable diatribes of a typical OpenBSD fan that understands little about kernel work while flailing around about how secure their pet uniprocessor operating system is.. yes, uniprocessor. It is trivial to DoS an OpenBSD machine accidentally on any kind of modern hardware because the locking model is state of the art circa 1980. Security! The only real facepalm this document describes accurately is that FreeBSD still bundles sendmail. The rest of this is basically a slanted view of things that don't matter when running a high scale internet service with FreeBSD -- I know because I did so.
its remarkably similar to the method through which a memory leak drags down a running operating system.
Precisely! Good job, looks interesting, similar goals.
YouTube is nothing more than the propaganda arm of Google at this point.
OpenBSD is much easier to install and get working than any of the Linux distros you mentioned. Post install configuration might take all of an hour, and it's secure by default, unlike those mentioned.

And by "post install configuration," I mean adding XFCE or other DE or WM, along with whatever apps you like. No tweaking needed to close security holes.

> but in order to talk about it you need to be clear about what you're actually talking about.

We absolutely do need to know what we're talking about. For example, the seize-or-purchase dichotomy is a false one. The article mentions, for example:

> But although tree planting on such a colossal scale faces significant challenges (not least identifying who owns the land in question, and securing the rights to plant and maintain trees there), widespread efforts are already underway. [Italics mine.]

In other words, the government doesn't have to seize or purchase the land. They are after a specific right, which we could even imaging being structured, where appropriate, as a subsidized service that owners of degraded land might clamor to receive.

We could almost even suppose that the people who are presenting these figures have take these things into account, at least tentatively.
