I do technical operations for a living. If I had a buck for every time I've seen an alert with unclear or non-actionable information, I would have retired ten years ago. This article describes a tragic situation, but it's not terribly surprising.

Other things I saw:

- people scared to talk about what happened because of blame issues
- putting new employees in critical situations with only three days of training
They mention encrypted volumes for offline backups and storing files which must be encrypted. For cross platform I'm guessing VeraCrypt is the recommended software now right?
It's implied in a couple of places:

"Their lifestyles tend to be sedentary because of their built environments, and their food tends to be served in large portions."

"Employers can help, too, by providing mental and physical wellness programs, as well as discounts and subsidies for physical activity programs. These investments are inherently worthwhile, because employees who exercise tend to have better concentration and work output."
Nope. Having an affinity for people you live near does not imply that you dislike others. It may be true for some people, but it is not a logical truth.

>Better than OCaml in Windows.

OCaml works great in windows and have good .Net bindings. LexiFi earns money nearly solely from OCaml on windows.

>F# works just fine in Linux.

Does it have bindings for the majority of popular libs? For example are there Gstreamer and Gtk F# bindings? Do they work on both .Net Core and Mono?
OK, enough is enough. I'm switching to Firefox now.

Protip to Firefox: Advertise this feature more. The other stuff I don't really care about, and didn't really convinced me to move to Firefox. Fear is an excellent motivator, however.
In the movie Independence Day the aliens computer systems were hacked with a few hours worth of work. Why were they hacked and destroyed? Because nobody reported and worked on security incidents of course. Why would anyone need to in a militaristic society?

My story is silly, of course, but the point is real. If you don't attack and then fix systems, a lot of people will get hurt.
GP means, and that rightfully, that increasing funding for food stamps is not the way to go - it simply hides the problem, which is wages too low to live on.

Food stamps for working people are nothing more than a massive subsidy for companies such as Wal-Mart. What's more, food stamps are psychologically degrading. Imagine working one or two jobs and not being able to provide proper food for your family!
Thanks I have favorited your comment in case I need to revisit this when I learn SEO for my site.

I see a lot of stuff you quote is from Brian dean (afaik?), but is there any other site, or author from where you are learning this?
Exercise really doesn't matter all that much for weight loss, your body has evolved to be crazy efficient (and commonly available food is incredibly calorie dense). A 200lb man will burn about 200 Calories running a mile, which is on the order of one coke, or two slices of bread.

Exercise can give you a bit of an edge and increase your rate of weight loss, but it doesn't do much if you're eating in excess.
I agree. I was being sarcastic.
I just found out you can pre-order pi 4 cases: http://blog.flirc.tv/index.php/2019/06/24/new-pi-4-cases/

This is a weak argument. The base response to a repressive totalitarian regime is non-cooperation, not support them and hope they will be marginally less oppressive. Any support legitimizes their actions and further entrenches their oppression
For example, jogging at a steady pace for an hour will burn around 700 calories (give or take some, depending on weight). If you stop at a McDonalds at the end of that run and have a Quarter Pounder with fries, you're now at a net of +70 calories from where you started.
Yep, a lot of people nowadays is using IR cameras without any calibration or understanding of the physics behind the measurement. The truth is, the camera requires an emissivity coefficient to associate the received radiation with the emitter body temperature. There are tables for different types of materials, but the best is to calibrate against a surface thermocouple or similar.

A corollary of this is, when you see an IR picture of a product with very different surfaces like rubber, shiny metal, matte paint, plastic, glass, etc. you know that almost for sure the measurement is unreliable because at most they calibrated the camera for the emissivity coefficient of one of the surfaces. And they vary quite a lot...
correct, thank you for acknowledging that.

Not as silly as some other things - it is anabolic. It would be more interesting to install an adrenaline or steroid (testosterone, cortisone, gonadotropin and inhibitors) pump on a healthy person, but harder still to figure out how and if it works.
Why not regulate junk food advertising? I don't watch much television, but when I do, it's shocking to see how normalized unhealthy food is in society.
Rice, beans, and frozen veg sounds like a high carb, low nutrient diet. Especially if it’s white rice.
Worse, you are burning the cheeseburger off, and the fries, and most of the drink. There are just a few extra calories that you don't burn off, and that adds up over the course of a year.

So the weight problem is technically an eating problem, but it's subject to unconscious behaviors and perceptual biases that you have to control over a long period of time.

>> Requires immediate total cooperation from everybody at once

> It requires setting stricter traffic rules and having them be followed. Something that's done everywhere in the world every year.

But you mentioned two somethings: "Setting stricter traffic rules" and "having them be followed." The very first examples in the TFA were from Argo's testing i Pittsburgh:

Recently, one of the company’s cars encountered a bicyclist riding the wrong way down a busy street between other vehicles. Another Argo test car came across a street sweeper that suddenly turned a giant circle in an intersection, touching all four corners and crossing lanes of traffic that had the green light.

Setting stricter traffic rules is certainly done everywhere in the world every year. People failing to follow traffic rules is also done everywhere in the world every day, and that's the big problem. Fully autonomous driving requires the ability to make snap decisions that may have little to no precedence in your past experience. This may be a solvable problem for AI, but it's a really, really hard problem that self-driving aficionados seem to consistently underestimate.

they certainly aren't as bad as they used to be, but the UX hasn't improved much. in-browser password managers these days have acceptable security and features like the one in the article are starting to surpass other password managers. but gawd, the UX.

my biggest qualm with the UX of firefox's password manager is the "master password" feature. it's a password you must enter to unlock your keychain. that's a must-have for me.

what firefox does wrong:

* it's rendered as a simple dialog prompt, identical to javascript's window.prompt. could be faked by a site for phishing.

* the unlock prompt launches once, about 30 seconds after the browser is launched (right while i'm in the middle of typing a URL) and grabs focus.

* if you don't provide a password, the prompt will show up again each time you visit a page that has a login form for which you have a saved password, even if the login form is hidden with CSS. many sites have login forms on every page.

* there's no way to unlock the keychain on a per-site basis or lock it again once you've unlocked it (besides closing the browser).

what i want is:

* when i'm about to log in to a site, i expect to provide my master password and have firefox autofill my saved password for this site only.

* if i need the password again later, or a password for a different site, i expect to have to provide my master password again.

* a dialogue that i can trust to have come from the browser itself rather than the webpage.

* not to be interrupted by the dialogue unless i need to access a saved password.
If I understand correctly its based on http://caml.inria.fr/pub/docs/manual-ocaml/libref/Bigarray.h...

What is a little strange is that Bigarray seems to support both C and Fortran order, but as of now Owl Ndarrays are C order only.

They sell cases with heatsinks and fans for $10-$20. I would just recommend buying one of those versus modding one like the guy in the article did.
We've done that for ages. They're called trains.
Protein. If I binge on carbs I can be painfully full but still hungry. If I eat a hunk of roast beast I feel like pushing it away long before I'm physically stuffed. And the satiety lasts longer. I've spent years now N=1 testing the hypothesis that protein satiates me faster and longer than the other macro nutrients, and it seems to pass each test.
This is often repeated, but never proven as true.
> As for taxing incoming foreigners to give to Americans, that's not what most Americans want. What most Americans want (and i don't mean the white nationalists) is to not lose their job to a same or less skilled person for less pay.

I'm willing to wager against this: normally people have a negative reaction to the idea that foreigners should be second-rate citizens with higher taxation systems, less rights and less benefits, but thats exactly the system you have now + uncertainty. I think a deal where explicitly foreigners can't get any state benefit and have a special foreign tax in exchange of freer immigration would be welcome by all citizens, regardless of rhetoric.

> I can attest that the only two groups that gained were the tech companies who lowered their expenses and the handlers/harvesters who brought people from their countries to the US, kept half of their hourly wage, and packed them 6+ to an apartment.

If programming became a job as menial as washing dishes in a kitchen, why would you want americans to do it.
So, I just stumbled upon an amazing heatsink while replying to a comment below. I use a painkiller carbon tablet pipe [0] that fits (barely) in my poe hat fan hole.

No, this seems to be a misreading of the article.

They want to do everything they can to make their child succeed, and also feel bad that the opportunities their child has are not available to other children because of those children's socioeconomic status

Someone can have two conflicting opinions at the same time.

Everything in the world is not black and white, or all or nothing. Different things can have both good and bad parts that go with them.
It’s like awk/sed, it has to be packaged with any unixy system.

Generally speaking EU and European are extremely cautious of GMO. And by GMO, it is defined as per EU,

“an organism, with the exception of human beings, in which the genetic material has been altered in a way that does not occur naturally by mating and/or natural recombination.”

i.e Cross Bleeding is not GMO, which it seems to be the case in some part of the world / some HNers / somewhere in Silicon Valley circle.

I am not sure if it is actually ZERO, since I remembered even in the very few approved GMO products in EU, each member state can grant and deny them on their own. And from a high level overview I doubt there is even 1% of GMO food.

So as someone who doesn't really like GMO Food, you should be proud of yourself.

And it is one reason why European products tends to be more expensive before from a World wide perspective, and doesn't do well in export. But ever since these GMO Free and Organic Food popping up in US, EU products were able to ride along with the tide.
Muslim here, I've been thinking about something like what you're talking about, right now my best answer is that we would have to define some threshold for what constitutes a gross imperfection. I think most people can agree that the replacing of a damaged organ or limb is fine, so we could go from there and progressively discuss more minor imperfections until its something the overwhelming majority of people have.
Jumping straight to prohibiting certain messages and / or their delivery is shocking to me. Free expression (even from vile creeps like Ronald McDonald) and public health are both important.

Re 2: They could if they were tired. TV keeps you up when you're tired. If you don't have it to do, then you may find out how tired you are.

And boredom and tiredness are somewhat related. "Bored" could be "everything I might do takes too much energy to be worth it". There's a component of "tired" in there.
It's a large number of minor points. Nothing shocking, no huge issues, and of course nothing we didn't already know. The crypto is good, if you manage it well it stands up to the NSA as far as we know... Sure, it has flaws that make it hard to use in general, and hard to use securely (no long term keys, for example, would make me less paranoid about my private key), but it's still fine despite having huge backwards compatibility.

The author is overly dramatic about it in order to make a point, to hopefully get people looking for alternatives, so that a good one might take it from pgp in the future (and continues to suggest whatsapp and signal, like, really? That's your replacement for pgp?).
The Pi4 is overpowered for a Kodi box.

That said, there is a huge number of applications for overpowered LED blinkers, and no lack of people to use them. And there is a great deal of educational value on having those boards available and easy to get.

Besides, it's becoming hard to find people without access to a machine where they can learn basic computer science. So this one niche is closing down, while the Pi is still unbeatable on hardware hacking.
Wow polluting the internet to protect your Golden Goose sites for backlinks.. I usually expect the worst but this wasn't on my radar. It seems very plausible however.
What exercise does is give you margin. If you're naturally inclined to eat more than your basal metabolic rate by 500 calories per day then it's trivial to maintain your weight if you're getting two hours of walking in per day. That's not even exercise -- that's just movement. But our lives have become so sedentary that this is a huge task for some people. So many people sit in a chair or stand stationary all day long for their jobs.
I am in no way referring to filecoin. I am talking about IPFS and cloudflare integration. https://blog.cloudflare.com/distributed-web-gateway/
I believe this is mainly down to the FAT16/ FAT32 filesystem on the SD cards. Those filesystems have never been particularly reliable, when those were the dominant hard drive formats, MANY users back then lost data (and backing up to floppy had its own set of issues).

This is why you have to unmount USB drives, if you pull the drive while data is still in cache would also create problems. The difference is when copying files to the drives, it's sequential, you may lose a file or two. When it's the OS using it as the main drive there are loads of write operations going on.

At least it's easier to add battery backup to a Pi then most other computers.

I endorse the Leap 2 per my other comment in this thread.
On average, people in the US have a high-protein diet relative to the rest of the world.

There is a lot of evidence that periods of food scarcity in childhood have a profound impact on our body chemistry and the way our body feels hungry or metabolizes food.
I actually think filecoin is worthless and IPFS is the only valuable thing that came out of that group
I highly recommend exercise, but when you look at how much calaries exercise burns off it is tiny.

Eating less calaries is the only real way.
I think the way forward is to stop worry too much. Like you really gonna be worrying running "flight simulator". I think it is a FUD designed mostly to support big and cloudy providers. Those are the real entities one should worry about. They spy 24x7 .
The problem is the lack of access to quality, affordable, nutritious food. Food deserts are a huge problem in many parts of the US, where lower income households simply don’t have access to healthy food.

I don’t see how regulating advertising solves this problem.
People also tend to greatly underestimate the risk of negative outcomes.
Tesla made it cool.

Outside of SV, Teslas aren't viewed as any cooler than Priuses. They're actually seen as much worse--elitist vehicles--since Priuses are affordable for most families and Teslas are not, plus require lots of expensive infrastructure just for basic use.

I know a few people who drive Teslas. Not one of them is someone who would even be remotely described as cool. I know a lot of people who drive Priuses, and they range the gamut from dorky to cool.

Ignoring the cultural impact of Tesla is why plenty of green vehicles failed in the past.

What cultural impact? Tesla's influence operates largely in a self-made echo chamber. Outside of the echo chamber, it's had literally no impact on car sales or car culture.

Green cars failed in the past because they were (a) super expensive and (b) had no marketing spend. Tesla's innovation was the same innovation that Toyota made a decade earlier with the Prius--green cars will sell if you market them to customers. (And despite Elon's claims that Tesla spends $0 on marketing, Tesla spends roughly $100m/year or more on marketing, per their SEC filings.)
Tobacco and alcohol advertising is already heavily regulated. Makes little sense why these same standards should not be applied to food, especially when obesity's impact on society is far worse.
Your claim that an autistic could like you describe is less capable of consent than an average child is illectually suspect and dehumanized. It's also an argument that pushes kids into abusive ABA therapies against their will, since their expressed preferences are considered invalid.
It would probably be good to increase wages and food stamps. Most people on food stamps are on them for less than a year while they fall on hard times. No need to deprive people of food during a time like this. Although, if they have a job, they shouldn't need to be on food stamps if min wage is reasonable.
Any fast food place that has a value menu (so, most of them). A double cheeseburger at the local McDonalds can be had for around $1.30, and this is both tasty and filling (440cal), if terribly unhealthy.

Something that I think gets missed in this is time value. If you're poorer, you likely have less free time, and that cuts into things like shopping for groceries (doubly if you're one of the 23.5 million that live in a "food desert" [1]) and meal prep.

If the standard of self-driving becomes something akin to how airplanes fly, then weather will be a delay, bypass, or do not fly precondition to the execution of the flight plan.

All this stuff about "it's right around the road" vs "it'll never happen" is all unspoken assumptions around what it means to take a "safe" "trip" "in a car" "driven" "autonomously".

Safe? Compared to humans that are alert, humans with smartphones, drunk drivers? Airplanes?

Trip? Distance? Rural vs Urban? Highway? Speed?

"in a car"? Smart fortwo? Motorcycle? RV? Sedan? SUV?

"driven"? All by software all the time and no windshield? implicit backup if uncertainties are too great and can be manually overridden?

I think what needs to happen is that you need programs tailored to specific routes/roads. As you drive any distance, you download/cache the programs for the routes and execute them.

You aren't going to be carrying around a "general driving AI", except as emergency backup to specific route downloads.

Humans work this exact way. You have the idiot tourist drivers versus people that commute on a route. Commuters know how different parts of the road's concrete sound differently, how fast they can take curves if they had to, which lane to be in to anticipate merge backups.

Those commuters know how to drive those routes in winter or summer as well, deer season or not, rain or shine. So that implies conditions-specific programs as well.
> On a slight tangent, I wish the major browsers would agree on an interoperability standard for their built-in password managers.

Are you talking about an interop standard for storing/sharing passwords, or for generating them?

Because the latter is hobbled significantly by a twisting maze of password requirements and login form implementations by sites (banks, webmail, etc).
Back in the late 90's, early 00's, the segway was released to much the same breathless prognostications that we hear today about self driving cars. Doerr said it would be more important than the internet. Kamen claimed it would restructure global transportation.

I don't need to go into everything that was said, you can google it. There was one thing said, however, that I think would be appropriate to touch on here. Kamen, just like you, claimed that traffic laws and the streets could be restructured to better accommodate the segway. That was the instant I knew the segway would not be taking off for a long, long time. If you need for people to restructure their laws and cities solely to accommodate your new technology, you should probably work a little bit harder on perfecting your technology. Because restructuring society's laws and transportation infrastructure simply to use your technology is probably not going to happen. The only time you get a radical restructuring of that nature is when the invention frees you from needing the infrastructure at all.
Google is to blame as much as these people who are gaming their search.

The number one tip most SEO blogs cite these days is to use AMP. It can skyrocket a crummy site over a non AMP site with much better content for many trending keywords.

I find that this type of thing is equivalent to gaming the search results as it would be by doing low quality blogs. Just this time the hack is offered by the G itself.
