There is a wide berth between prosecution and no pentalty whatsoever.

For example, In many states, you can lose a license without being prosecuted. Indiana is one of them.

Alternatively, a prudent measure would be to require the driver to get a medical clearance to drive again. This, in my opinion, would be the wise choice.
"Since ASKAP is an array of 36 dish antennas and the burst had to travel a slightly different distance to each dish, it reached each one at a slightly different time."

“From these tiny time differences—just a fraction of a billionth of a second—we identified the burst’s home galaxy and even its exact starting point..."

Simply amazing that they can get such precise measurements from so small a differential in distance.
People want an edge, but everyone wants to take the shortest path. Nooptropics, supplements, etc are perceived path shorteners where perhaps no such one exists. It seems that the power of the mind (i.e. placebo) is the only real thing here. I would like to see how meditation/mindfulness apps and adoption measure against nootropics.

== UPDATE ==

I did not mean to imply that stimulants like caffeine, amphetamines, etc are placebo. I should have made a clear distinction between such classes of nootropics and those that do not contain such ingredients or those that are proven not to have effect. I agree, the coffee I had this morning was not a placebo for increasing my wakefulness.
Agreed. I also assume it will be modded back in within days of people getting their hands on these.
The easiest way to think more clearly is the one it seems is least tried: a good night's sleep. The second easiest: periodic disengagement from phones, computers, and people.

Stimulants such as the ones discussed in the article interfere with that.

> Maybe Earth is just a big petri-dish for a very advanced alien species trying to reconstruct their own evolutionary history?

When I was in like 3rd or 4th grade we were each given a petri dish and told to swab different surfaces (bathroom door handle, water fountain spout, etc.) and then we would learn about bacteria while we watched ours grow. Well the teacher told us our petri dish would grow “it’s own little world” and I (fellow weird kid) had just seen Men In Black so I was fascinated by the idea of an entire world so tiny that it could exist on a cat’s collar. Of course I asked what would happen to our worlds after the experiment (I thought we’d get to keep them!) and when I found out it would go in the trash I refused to participate. (Weird and stubborn - my poor parents.)

And I had completely forgotten about that for 20+ years until today, when you’ve got me laughing at the thought that we could be the petri dish of some clueless 4th grader of an advanced alien species.
Worse still - the problem is worse then you think and the solutions are more complicated then you suppose. If you stopped all air travel it might make emissions go up. It might reduce economic growth that makes implementing other fixes harder not easier.

There's a reason all of these emissions are produced - it's pleasant to imagine that it's all about things that don't really matter - does some rich guy get a sports car or an econobox - but I genuinely don't believe it's that simple. Instead it's a series of complicated decisions about productivity, value and risk.
The problem is we are not talking about choosing between a car and public transportation where the time difference will be an extra 10 or so minutes. We are talking time differences between 1 hour and 5 hours, or between 4 hours and days. No one will really stop flying unless you tax it 200 euros per flight or something.

I just see this as the French government adding an extra tax to deal with their own budget issues. (which is ok, but lets call it that, and not an offset or 'incentive' tax, like it will actually change anything for the environment)

Async seems virulent.

But a few days ago I was writing a small TCP app, and I could not find the timeout argument to Python’s asyncio open_connection.

Then I realised I didn’t need it: I could simply create more complex behaviour by combining async primitives. I don’t even want to imagine how much code I’d need to write in order to implement something like that thread-wise (given that a library simply forgot to add it).
> “this makes the site less accessible.”

They problem is that when someone then ask - "to whom", you are left being unable to answer.
Note that async inherent methods will be part of the MVP; it's trait methods that are much harder and won't. Not sure if that fits your requirements or not!
Both, I think. The field has grown in size, so that alone makes the young-to-middle-aged ratio skewed. Then, many middle-aged programmers drop out to become managers.

I totally agree that programming would be better taught by an apprenticeship model than the college model, and I say this as a person with two college degrees.
> yet users who want or need to disable JS are often left out in the cold.

Isn't that just a preference of the user, that has repercussions? In fact the WCAG 2.0 specifically says that a JS fallback is _not_ a requirement for accessibility - a common misconception is that disabled users disable JavaScript - this isn't actually true.

Fair enough if you want to turn off JS for tracking reasons or whatever, but you have to accept that some things might not work without it.
Which is a reason why cars have to vanish from cities.
The stablest option of all is "no club". It will take a HUGE amount of interest and pressure and votes and money to create the first carbon club. Any set of countries attempting to create a competing "pollution club" will have to do it in opposition to that pressure. If that pressure isn't sufficient to prevent creation of the "pollution club" it probably wasn't sufficient to create the first "carbon club" in the first place.

Email Deliverability: The Complete Guide to Owning the Inbox
> The fact that Harari seems to think that everything is just a 'story' that we tell ourselves, is way too nihilistic.

I find that the great challenge that confronts our species is precisely the search for meaning.

There are myriad options for sale in the marketplace of ideas, many coming with pre-packaged meaning. This is the typical case with Judeo-Christian religions, where some external authority dictates meaning to us. But let's suppose that there really is an Anthropomorphic God in the Sky that created everything and has rules for us. Ok, good for him I guess, but you have to lack a bit of imagination to not see the absurdity of that situation. It's just a parent-child relationship, with an imaginary parent, that spares the followers the pain of confronting existential questions, provided that development remains arrested.

The same is true of Atheists and Materialists. Ok, there's only atoms. Everything can be explained as a cold mechanism that progresses from the Big Bang, through evolution, to us and all of our preferences and inclinations. Of course, given that the scientific model of reality is so useful, it is easy to forget that it is just another story when it comes to meaning.

To actually reach adulthood, I believe that one has to confront the scary reality that one is one's own source of meaning. In one sense the universe is made of atoms, in another it is made of stories. Both of these models are useful, but no model can ever spare you from the task of becoming your own source of meaning.

Having had a couple of companies acquired now, Be cautious in how you deal with any competitor that has interest in acquiring you. Not to say I wouldn't do it, just be careful, more careful the bigger the competitor is.

The fact you are getting interest can be a few likely reasons, the most optimistic is you have hit on a real need and niche and people want to get in on it now. Another, competitors see you gaining some traction and they want to buy the traction not the product. And still yet, it could be they are wanting to kick the tires and learn what you are doing to walk away and repeat what they like. Of course there are other scenarios too, but just some points of interest. As for safeguarding against what a competitor wants to do all you can do is ask and get a feel for their intent, if you get to the point of due diligence you'll pick up on it quickly by paying attention to what they care about most. If they spend 80% of the time on customers and financials it is fairly obvious they are likely going to ditch the product, if it is more balanced than so will be their approach.

Only you can decide what is best and what their intent is since you are directly involved. But I'd always talk to people, if nothing else you can learn something from them as much as they learn from you. Be humble, and don't try and be something you are not (advice I wish I'd listened to on my first sale), e.g. if this is your first time admit it, there is no weakness in that because it will be obvious to everyone anyway. And if you are humble and cautious it will actually give you good will in the transaction if you move forward.

As far as acquired vs investment, it is really a personal decision again. Do what you want to do. I'd think that being acquired even at a decent multiple for a product doing 250k/year run rate you are still going to take home less than a million dollars most likely. Usually that is the first rude awakening to most people, they think they'll get a 10x or higher multiple when in reality most M&A for small business ends in far less than that, and many times winds up in an asset purchase agreement and not a stock purchase to limit liabilities. There are exceptions of course, and if your growth is off the charts then you can argue for a much better deal. But in the end, it has to boil down to what do you want to do? Grow it or sell it and get a nice start on savings?

In The Netherlands, you're not taught those things when learning to drive either. What is taught, is that wet and/or especially cold conditions can cause unsafe road conditions that can lead to loss of control over the vehicle. As a reasonable person, you're supposed to know to adapt to this. This isn't specifically mentioned in the law, but it follows from one of the most basic articles of our traffic law that states that it's "forbidden to act in a way that causes or could cause dangerous road conditions or causes or could cause traffic to be hindered"

Preparing South African youth for the future of work
Seriously, do you understand the word REMOTE?

From the man page:

> Journal events can be transferred to a different logging daemon in two different ways. With the first method, messages are immediately forwarded to a socket (/run/systemd/journal/syslog), where the traditional syslog daemon can read them. This method is controlled by the ForwardToSyslog= option. With a second method, a syslog daemon behaves like a normal journal client, and reads messages from the journal files, similarly to journalctl(1). With this, messages do not have to be read immediately, which allows a logging daemon which is only started late in boot to access all messages since the start of the system. In addition, full structured meta-data is available to it. This method of course is available only if the messages are stored in a journal file at all. So it will not work if Storage=none is set. It should be noted that usually the second method is used by syslog daemons, so the Storage= option, and not the ForwardToSyslog= option, is relevant for them.

That is all about local. Again: I end having to running a syslogd locally so that I can send stuff remtely using an industry standard protocol.
I've been considering doing something like this for my company, as some activities cannot be done on a web browser. My plan was that when the client is associated with the server via OpenID Connect, a public key is transferred to the client. The server will then sign all commands with its public key and timestamp so the client knows they are genuine. (Can I get HN's opinion on this design please?)

So, I don't think it's strictly necessary that when you find something like this it indicates some sort of vulnerability, although you are trusting the skill of third-party developers.

That said, if this is a vulnerability I'd first try getting in touch with their security team. If you have discovered a vulnerability you should give them a fair chance to patch it first before reporting it further, as you might be giving bad guys ideas.
Nope. PCIe lanes are not shared. There are some chips (and a lot of motherboards) that allow (or automatically perform) remapping of lanes, though. That's why if you check a motherboard with SLI/Crossfire, it usually has some setting in the BIOS to either dedicate all 16 lanes to 1 PCIe 16x slot or split 2 PCIe 16x slots 8 and 8.

The chip has to be removed.
Exactly! Whilst I understand the reasons, it is nevertheless a shame that the willingness is born from requirement rather than the want of actually making things accessible for as many users as possible.

“Electromagnetic waves” are the manifestation of relative motion between an electric charge and an observer’s reference frame. A detector inside a cryogenic ion trap would detect much lower energy EM radiation from the contained cloud of ions vs a sensor speeding towards the trap at 10% c. If this second detector slowed towards the inertial reference frame of the ions, the apparent EM radiation emanating from them would decay towards zero from the second detectors point of view as it became stationary relative to the charges.

Are gravity waves similarly observer-reference-frame-dependent? I.e. the gravitation of a given object is not intrinsic but rather dependent on the energy difference between the object and a given observer’s frame?
This is true, and I have one and it has much better signal too, but I prefer joycons still. I like having independent hands for both comfort and also the motion controls in Splatoon (which are honestly better than a mouse) make more sense to me with an independent hand than joined hands if that makes sense.

If you go to the doctor, they can do your bloodwork on an old-fashioned big machine. It will probably tell you that everything's fine, unless you're sick or living on Cheetos. If a bio-compatible chip could do the same thing, you'd probably just end up with the same admonitions to not live off of a diet of pure french fries. If new biomarkers were discovered, they would become available on the big machine before they became available on the chips. So, the present is big machines, the future is big machines, maybe the far future is implanted monitoring devices.

From the link [1] in my GP post: "Cycling accounts for 24 % of all commuter trips." That doesn't sound like a small percentage.

They certainly don't take zero blame, especially if it happened in the last decade. The student debt crisis has been front and center for a while now. If in the last few years someone did that, and they don't know any better, they're seriously living under a rock.

The system should change, and Im not even against forgiving debts because it might just be straight up better to do for society, but saying the people who take on those loans and sign at the bottom have zero responsibility? They turn 18 long before they're completely crushed with the debts, and if I was to tell an 18 years old that they can't make decisions they're responsible for, I'd get an earful.

I am not saying it was, just that doubling of the rate means little by itself.

If the suicide rate is 17 per 22000, then natural variance alone will push about 14% of random 22k samples into "more than double the base rate" area.

In other words, if you take this indicator alone, then you'll have a false positive about 14% of the time. Obviously, the key word is "alone". With more data about bullying as the cause of suicide you might get better estimations.
