skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
The brackets in the table mean that different sources of the element have different proportions of isotopes, so the mean atomic weights for specific deposits may cover a range that differs from the overall mean for every deposit of the element ever measured.

I.e. if you measure carbon from the upper atmosphere, it's going to have more C-14 in it, from cosmic rays flipping protons in N-14 to neutrons. And if you measure carbon buried for thousands of years, it's going to have less C-14, from natural decay.

If you look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_physical_constants you can see that the parentheses are omitted from defined constants, and included for measured constants.

This is not a problem with GDPR. This is a problem with organizations (companies and governments) treating publicly data as private keys.

That's usually a smart idea.

Yes may be for vocal speech, but for platforms build around written forms of speech like most online forums, how does that analogy hold since then the right of one to say a thing does not restrict another body's right to say a different thing at the same time.

Generally freedom of speech issues arise largely for written word, than the spoken word.

It wouldn't work, because services using BankID want a (presumably contractually-obligated) assurance that only that particular person is using the service. If someone else can be authorised use your ID, it undermines that.

They could still add such a feature of course, but they would need to inform and have the co-operation of services when someone else is using the ID, so it wouldn't be widely supported.

A website that shows me two loading bars after it has rendered a page header claims the fundamental problem with arxiv is that it serves, boring, static, pdfs? Yeah, that sounds about right...

Honestly I think that the simple act of becoming a repository for uploading conference slides will be a much more important development for arxiv than implementing even the wildest the javascript the authorea authors dream of.
If you strip it of context then sure. Grad students working on pl research are largely funded by the government, often by the military. They work in a subfield that has low adoption among undergrads, especially undergrads from schools other than top ranked schools. The work seeks to solve a specific set of problems in cs and software engineering, which may or may not be the most impactful problems out there. We also see vast differences in formal methods between US and European institutions both in coursework and in research.
I think that such a class, if required of software engineers, would be a great idea.

The report states with high confidence that balanced diets featuring plant-based, and sustainably-produced animal-sourced, food “present major opportunities for adaptation and mitigation while generating significant co-benefits in terms of human health”.

I think this says it all. The consumption is not as much of a problem as production. They don't mention how much forest is also cut to build farms and it's not like plant growing industry is any better in terms of emissions [1] and water / land poisoning with pesticides and GMO plants.
Now, don't get me wrong, I have nothing against GMO that is done well, but the current direction that's only serving corporate greed instead of bettering farming industry is just disgusting. Without animals we are just as equally doomed as we are with them [2].
I also have a feeling that they're trying to optimize the 1% instead of tackling real problems caused by coal energy, cars, airplanes etc.

Na, I think it is downvoted because it is pretty neo-liberal, to assume that population control is the solution, because it implicitly neglects that most emissions are caused by the richest people. Reducing those rich people would well be a fair point, though.
> To see your trips and travel research, turn on these settings: Private results, Web & app activity

This is the main reason why I will never be able to use www.google.com/travel. I used to use the Trips app with no search history, but Google is shutting down Trips in favor of forcing people to loosen privacy settings. It is very disappointing because Trips worked very well.
The author is certainly bringing her own expectations about HN's common biases and attitudes into play, but some of those biases and attitudes are on slightly ironic display in this discussion, aren't they? For instance, there's a clear subtext -- sometimes open text -- of "this author knows nothing about the HN culture!", basically dismissing the opening where she mentions how she learned about Hacker News originally from her coworkers at the tech startup she'd moved to San Francisco to join. The bias of "I expected the moderators to be a couple of middle-aged white guys" doesn't come from her lack of knowledge of this industry and the HN crowd, it comes from her immersion in it. Also, the moderators are in fact a couple of middle-aged white guys.

It's true that HN readers are not the intended audience for this -- she's writing for the large set of people who have little to no idea what Hacker News is. But the story she's telling in the article is not "here's how cool HN is," nor is it "here's how terrible HN is." It's a story of how HN reflects the tech culture in Silicon Valley and beyond, how politics and our current culture war intersect with the tech sector whether or not we like it, how declaring a space to be non-political has become an implicitly political statement. And I think in that light, it's a pretty good article.

(And dang, I think getting a third moderator in who's non-white and/or non-male might not be a bad thing -- regardless of their level of balding.)
If you don't allocate swap, you have to do other things to compensate, like reduce or eliminate overcommit.

At one company where I worked over a decade ago, we ran some Linux-based equipment without swap also. To prevent executables from being evacuated by low memory pressure, I put a hack into the kernel: executables and shared libs were mapped such that they were nailed into memory (MAP_LOCKED).

tl;dr: Viruses mutate to become more contagious. There's some circumstantial evidence this may have happened in the 2013/2014 West African Ebola outbreak. The Kivu outbreak has ~600 hosts in which the virus is mutating right now. The article doesn't address lethality at all.

(IMHO, all of the useful information in the article is in the first sentence of the tl;dr.)

The rest of your post does not back up this claim IMO.

At least here in Norway you can get a standalone hardware 2-factor key.

> It also doesn't support anyway to delegate access, either to people ("my partner should have access to this bank account") or computers ("I want to back up my incoming govt. messages automatically").

I will happily admit banks aren't too good with this, but it isn't BankIDs fault.

BankID only handles authentication. Once I'm logged in I can easily delegate access to my account using my banks self service feature. If your bank doesn't let you it is their fault.

As for why it cannot be used by a machine I guess the reason is that use of BankID is considered the same as signature. So signing with someone elses BankID is considere forgery.
Vue.js 3: Future-Oriented Programming – Bits and Pieces
I do not have a LinkedIn profile because I've run into issue with doxxing in the past. Limiting the availability of my personal information online has always seemed like a safer bet. However, after reading through a lot of comments, there does seem to be a good amount of support for LinkedIn.

Aside from the social spam and fake recruiter pestering, can anyone speak to the value of it? There are several comments referring to multiple jobs they've received because of it. Though I have a good job now, it seems more and more that you need an online presence to land programming jobs. I'm trying to gauge whether delving into that is worth the risk of making the information available again.
Case in point: PrEP in the United States. Gilead has a patent on Truvada, which currently is the only drug on the market that can be prescribed for PrEP.

They also have a patent on Descovy, but Descovy is not on the market for PrEP.

Right now, a month's supply of Truvada costs $1800. Six months ago, it cost $1400.

Truvada has a considerable amount of damaging side-effects that prevent many people from taking the medication, and cause harm to those who do take it. Truvada is hard on the kidneys, so much so that patients have their kidney screened every 3 months while taking the drug. Truvada is also hard on people's bones. Brittleness and fractures can happen. The medication can and has damaged people's bodies.

Descovy isn't without side-effects, but the drug doesn't harm the kidneys and bones as much as Truvada.

However, the patent for Truvada doesn't expire until 2020. Gilead has been dragging its feet for years when it comes to introducing Descovy for PrEP. A lawsuit alleges that Gilead is purposely timing their introduction of Descovy for PrEP to line up with Truvada's patent expiration[1].

While semantic styling has been around for quite a while in different shapes and forms, this is essentially the same as inlining all of your styles in a style attribute on every element, albeit just a bit shorter to write.

It's an interesting idea to entertain as a thought, and some utility classes certainly hold value in general, but I don't see how you would ever reasonably want to use this in a project. It has all the same drawbacks as writing inline styles on elements, not to mention the large size.

Say you have a number of views and decide (or a client decides) you want all of the buttons to have a bit more padding. If anything else happens to completely accidentally also use the same padding class you're always left with manually checking every single instance just for a small change like this.
> They took a useful thing that was providing value to people, and broke it for no other reason than to see how people reacted.

Once their algorithm can predict prices to a certain level of accuracy, they can effectively offer investment hedging to the public for free, and use the publicity to drive commissions on referrals. Unlike other commodities whose value is subject to numerous economic forces, the pricing is set directly (by the airlines), and it is likely that simply by observing their pricing over time a sophisticated Google algorithm has "learned" the airline's less sophisticated ones.

The issue with finding a "happy medium" in one segment of the market is that investment capital will immediately start to flow towards other segments of the market without such constraints.

In your example where TVs are a lifesaving drug, you could argue that we should find a happy medium where TV manufacturers are only making 3-4k in profit. In the short term this would increase the accessibility of TVs, saving lives. In the long term this would cripple future investment in better TVs, reducing lives saved in the future.

Investment is distributed in response to expectation of future returns. If you want more lifesaving drugs you should incentivize their creation, not penalize the field relative to less important pursuits.

Some people will pursue medical research (or invest in it) for its own sake out of an admirable desire to help others. Many more will work for whoever will pay the most, or invest in whatever business has the most potential for profit. You don't have to admire those people, but it's not rational to actively push them away from fields where their work could benefit others.
That is well covered within GDPR scope. Retaining data to fulfill legal obligations is allowed. One common related example is invoice data.
We still have all but the first issue, and that one has nothing to do with multi-process browsing, just multi-threaded processing.

So all we really won was performance regressions (the IPC is expensive) and significantly increased resource consumption.
So this wasn't a code challenge so much as a paid project, correct? Did they pay you? No coding challenge should take that long unless it is a paid project.

If you have the requirements they gave you and the project it should be relatively easy to see where you might have gone wrong.

Sadly many times companies use a coverall excuse like this instead of being direct about the reason. I wouldn't get too concerned about it, so many times the rejections are not about your capabilities but their peculiarities.

It does seem like a rather redundant article. I actually enjoy linkedin, although it does have some quality control issues these days, its still one of my favorite tools for having jobs presented to me, rather than searching for them myself. I think part of what makes all of this work is that linkedin monetizes user data just like the other major social media sites, but is much more in the business of selling that data directly to companies, mostly recruiting firms I imagine, rather than to advertisers who are just trying to peddle commercial goods to consumers.

If you use linkedin in a manner where your goals and linkedin's goals align, it works great. I use it to get leads on making money, and linkedin uses my desire to make money, to make their own money. Its not perfect, but its win/win for now.
Thanks a lot! It looks good.
I'm absolutely loving using Tailwind for my new projects. It makes it so easy to prototype and build out nice designs. Honestly I have never felt so productive when it comes to designing pages.

There is however one thing that prevents me from using it for everything and I'm curious if anyone knows a solution for this. If I am pulling a chunk of rich text from a CMS/backend/whatever, how can I style this?

I tend to use Django for my backend, so in my template files I just put in a chunk like <div class="container">{{ body }}</div>. If that chunk has h2,p, etc. none of those are getting styled.

In normal css I could just define what those h2, p, etc look like under a specific class. But besides using some js magic to inject those classes, I'm at a loss.
> He's arguably the first thinker to attempt to recast and reformulate philosophy in such a way that it could remain critically potent in the modern world.

Citations needed. That statement doesn't even mean anything. I'm pretty sure if it does mean something, it applies more readily to someone like Wittgenstein, Heidegger, hell even Richard Rorty or David Stove.

It would be nice if you could name "all of his contributions" or even one of his contributions beyond the book touted in this review: I don't think there are any worth talking about. He really deserves to be forgotten. Unless you think "everything I don't like is Hitler" is a great contribution to Western Philosophy.
Given the frequent reports we get about the insecurity and fragility of the US power grid, is the UK grid as bad and is this going to be just a business-as-usual oopsie or something more sinister?
I wouldn't agree that the medium sized companies tried to comply with the GDPR and failed. Yes, they tried to comply with that particular request but the failures suggest that they didn't even try to be GDPR compliant in the first place - if they had done so, then they would have had assigned a data protection officer who would have long ago asked themselves the question "what do we do in case of a personal information request?", and written down a reasonable process for handling such requests, possibly consulting with the local data protection agency.

That would count as "trying", as it was their duty to have done this a year and a half ago. It's basic 'table stakes', a precondition to being permitted to handle personal data at all. If they started thinking about "how do we verify identities" only on day they received the request from this researcher, then that's not trying to comply, that's being grossly negligent.
I've actually built a Dexter with the guys from HD. One of the beauties of that arm is its ability to force sensing inherently, at least the version I have. I doubt you'd need additional force sensing capabilities on top of what you get from Dexter.

However, I suspect you're near the arm's payload limit with the clipper setup. Feel free to reach out. I get to the Bay Area every semester or so.
You don't just have a cellphone. You have ambulances, you have food, you have medicine, you have heat, you have buildings, you have more or less 80% of your surroundings based on fossil fuels. In other words, there would be much less people around you to live for if it wasn't for fossil fuels.

It's silly to claim you can live without which is why we don't and aren't even close to doing that in the rich countries.
