This is simply not true. You can report any incidents via Crime Stoppers here: https://www.crimestoppers.com.au/give-information#block-view.... Each jurisdiction's specific reporting forms are different, but you can usually upload small files as attachments.

If you do want the footage to be useful though, you'll have to be willing to put enough personal information in so the police can use you as a witness in court. Your witness account is the primary evidence and the footage the supporting evidence.
So, to summarize, you should:

1. not use the programming language that works best for your problem, but the programming language that works best with your orchestration system

2. lock yourself into managed services wherever possible

3. choose your api design style based on your orchestration system instead of your application.

4. Use a specific frontend rpc library because why not.

I've hacked a few lambdas together but never dug deep, so I have very little experience, but these points seem somewhat ridiculous.

Maybe I'm behind the times but I always thought these sort of decisions should be made based on your use case.

EDIT: line breaks.
I think it can be simple if you try to only solve a few things with grid.

When I first learned grid, I could only figure out one or two things. Then I got ok with a few things, then I went crazy and made a magic framework.

Now, I only use primarily these:

display:grid;
grid-gap: [value];
grid-template-columns: 1fr max-content, etc...;

That is 90% of my use case for grid. For entire page layouts, I would use grid-area so I can place stuff where I want and move it around on mobile. Grid rows are implicit with the above code, so I so I have a mini-framework with utility classes for a few different column scenarios. (3 columns, column with compressed/flexible combinations for things like forms, etc...)
Do you really think Facebook rolled out Stories specifically to kill Snapchat? That may have been a side effect that Facebook wouldn't care about, but they rolled out Stories because they were a good feature that could increase the value of Facebook.

Does having deeper pockets mean you aren't allowed to learn from competitors who do something better than you do? Should Snapchat not be allowed to have a social graph because Facebook has one? It really seems like those who think stories was just "copying to kill Snapchat" actually think something like the former, but not the latter, despite the logic being identical.
That's a damned good question.

I'll say that I've had an (apparently non-rootable) Android device, purchased under the explicit understanding that it would be rootable.

My interest and enthusiasm for the Android "ecosystem" has ... cooled markedly.

I'm looking forward to what Purism, Pine, and/or ReMarkable come up with in future.

You can also just do matrices by hand. I always found them quite easy once you got the hang of them, very easy and methodical.
That's basically what an ostrich is. They're chickens that can kill you.
From a security and privacy standpoint I think DoH is a good thing.

I wish it didn't have the overhead of TCP/HTTP (which is why I was a bigger fan of DNSCrypt). Anyone can stand up a resolver that can handle 50k UDP requests a second and operate a public resolver. It starts to get operationally dicey to stand up infrastructure that can do 50k HTTP requests a second. As a result you end up with a small handful of players who can operate medium to large scale public resolvers.
That hasn't been my experience. I've had my TI-84 for 9 years and that thing took quite a beating. Still works perfectly today: can't say that for all the phones I've had in that time.
You don't need to provision key for fallback cert on server, because the server simply trust all certificates that was signed by the CA.

You only need to get the CA to sign the fallback cert.
I'd trust them more, but not "much" more. Perhaps Apple is the lesser offender.
Do you retract the claim Ising model problems are "extremely difficult" for classical computers? I replied with practical and theoretical considerations why it is not so.
I use conda because it’s the default way to install PyTorch. That’s pretty much it. Pretty sure any NumPy install should use reasonable BLAS nowadays but I believe conda includes Intel MKL which maybe makes a difference.

Every couple months I nuke all my environments and my install and start fresh out of general frustration. It’s still the least bad for a scientific workflow IMO (having different environments but all globally accessible rather than stuck in specific directories is nice).
Too bad you can do encryption using pen and paper (even RSA).
Call the movie "Up in Smoke". No, wait, that name's taken.
So it's a rounding error for DHS but an expensive soaking for the taxpayer? That doesn't bear out.

No one is going to deprecate ICE because it's too expensive, but they might do it due to extensive political pressure from all sectors. I'm okay with paying 0.001 USD or so to send that message.
That's fair.. it's also fair that the US takes in roughly 1/5 of the world refugees, more than any other nation by a wide margin. And illegal crossings alone are nearly double those numbers this past year.
Nicotine is not what mainly makes smoking addictive or even dangerous. There are plenty of bad chemicals that are much worse than nicotine that vaping could (and shouldn’t) include.
Posts like this one make me hate HN's strict title requirements, which you've even broken with your clarification in brackets.

The important story here is the shutdown and mass firing, but on HN it has to be told through the lens of their PR-friendly title, which is unlikely to get much attention (and that's exactly why they wrote it that way).
As an Australian who has driven extensively in many countries, my observation is that the quality and attitude of drivers around the world maps fairly closely to the style of the built environment and regulatory environment.

Australian roads are unceasingly sensible. Every road is an appropriate width, every road has a logical speed limit, overtaking zones are clearly marked, heck, every bend on a fast road has a sign indicating the recommended cornering speed. All this sensibleness breeds complacent drivers that rarely need to engage their brains.

The UK is full of incomprehensibly narrow roads, arbitrary speed limits and a national fetish for complex muliti-lane roundabouts. And to top it off, most cars have manual transmissions. All this complexity breeds more competent, switched-on drivers.
I agree, I'm just pointing out that it's not useful yet
> Which I guess makes sense, given that FPGA programming isn't exactly n00b friendly from what I've gathered.

It can be OK. The first class most EE students take at my undergrad uni had a significant FPGA component.
People who don’t have an ingroup are called psychopaths. I know at least one person who (claims to have) reasoned themselves into something resembling utilitarianism from that starting point but that’s a minority end point to not having a capacity for group loyalty.
For one, pretty much every example cited in the article are "clones" of products that the "aggrieved" party was also giving away for free. But let's ignore that.

Let's take Stories. Facebook has monetized them, and pretty clearly realized they could monetize them when they rolled out. Does the fact that Snapchat came up with them mean Facebook should not be able to launch something that they plan to monetize? By this logic, anything Facebook rolls out that someone else did first wouldn't be allowed.
Couldn’t agree more. Though this was 1990, the professor for the calc classes could care less if you had a calculator, as it “won’t be of any use”.

Even in engineering and physics courses, you had better show all your work. If a numerical calculation was made in error, and you should all your work, you could still get a good amount of partial credit.

30 years later, I still just use a basic RPN calculator.
Totally agree. If this happened post 1.0 I’d be concerned. But pre 1.0 this is what I’d expect and want. Polish things up because afterward you can’t!

A stone tablet could "perform" a sequence of operations isomorphic to "count to 100 by 3s and 5s". But "count to N by 3s and 5s" for any N : 0 < N < 2^32. Well that'd require a lot of stone.

But IBM isn’t that powerful in any direct way any more compared to other tech companies.

Oracle and rising powers like PayPal and Salesforce would make more sense. The latter companies still do a fraction of IBM’s revenue and profit. but they’re growing. I wouldn’t be surprised if their market caps are past IBM by now.

Unless IBM is being included because of the Red Hat acquisition.
Class Calc (https://classcalc.com/) is trying to do just that
There is a scalability problem but due to different reasons. See my other comment in this thread for details.

Classical circuitry is an issue, but not as much as you think. What happened is Martinis' group and others moved forward with a quick & dirty design which worked well for their device but can't be scaled (they basically didn't have the expertise like silicon people had). Nevertheless, it's not a fundamental problem, the circuitry for silicon based spin qubits never had this problem for example and xmons won't either, they just keep reiterating as the number of qubits increase, it's the least of their worries regarding scalability. There are far bigger problems regarding the scalability.
I drive in Australia, and I'm not like what you have described.

My general attitude is to be courteous. That doesn't mean I dont nip through on amber, or go over the speed limit by a couple kph, or park.

However I do behave as I would want other to behave. I don't drive too close to cars in front. I zip feed always. I indicate, even if nobody is around. I treat bikes and bicycles like other cars. I defer to busses. I slow down and wave pedestrians across if it's safe. Just good manners really.
No, once you get to university level math classes, you don't use calculators at all.
Just want to say you've summed up the entirety of the way I think about "buyer freedom" in our advertisement infested world.
Now that I think of it, I suppose that makes sense considering the whole "birds are dinosaurs" thing.
Might not be a popular answer among common folk on HN, but for me, once a week I go to a shooting range and practice with my handgun.

I’m improving a skill, I have to be focused since I’m dealing with a firearm and most importantly I absolutely must relax AND focus in order to actually shoot accurately.

Occasionally I’ll go on a “members night” when other members at the range will bring rare or automatic (properly licensed) firearms to let others shoot. Some have very cool historical attributes or uniquely engineered features. Many members are also in software dev as well.
I think that's fair. If the user was able to get what they're looking for without having to click, good for them. I'm betting that Google knows when that happen and uses it as a positive signal towards that site.

IMO notes should be allowed in all exams. That's just how people work. Moreover I'd argue working with notes is a more critical skill than rote memorization. Exams without notes is like coding on the whiteboard: sheer idiocy which has nothing in common with real-world skills, unless you're hiring/testing specifically for memorization skills or whiteboard penmanship.
Intelligent Policing Strategy for Traffic Violation Prevention
Flex:

1. For unknown number of items in one direction. (toolbar of buttons works better in flex)

2. Row-wrapping items. (ie, the unknown number of items need to flow with the screen, grid _stinks_ horrible at this)

Grid:

1. Specific forced number of columns but unknown number of rows (the control is the ultimate, flexbox still does some loosey-goosey stuff where grid stays put). Also, when I know exactly what I want and where it will go and there is no ambiguity about it, grid is perfect. Rows are implicit (ie, any number of rows) This makes clean form building a dream...

2. Specific layout with areas. Think header, columns, footer all part of a unified design. Way, easier in grid than in flexbox.

Grid has grid-gap, which is vital for making some layouts easy. Flex only has grid-gap in Firefox, so you are stuck with flippin margins for item spacing in flexbox still, yuck.
Hyundai Motor Group, Aptiv to set up $4B self-driving car venture
I don't think you would go in with the intention of passing. Just of recording all the questions.
The question at hand is whether Juul intentionally marketed nicotine to people below 18.

There's pretty strong circumstantial evidence that they did. Building relationships w teenage social media influencers is part of that.

The unfortunate fact is that Juul achieved explosive popularity among high schoolers. It spearheaded a U turn in youth nicotine use rates, which had been declining for a long time and are now way up.

The investigation is here to determine to what extent this was the result of a deliberate strategy.
Likely they paid off relevant parties to be excluded. That's why I don't believe objectiveness of that effort. They ignore elephants in the room. Even more probably, the whole thing is driven by those monopolists, for their own benefit.
And that's exactly what random bots do.
If you `pip install numpy` on most environments it will download an optimized wheel. Anaconda also has an optimized numpy automatically.

I wouldn't use the python shipped with osx because it tends to be out of date rather quickly, and it doesn't ship with libreadline.

Usually the python shipped with Ubuntu is good if it has the version you want.

If you compile it yourself from source you are in for a bad time unless you know how to install all the dependencies. Make sure you turn on optimizations when running ./configure or it will be significantly less fast.

Once you have python installed, install pip. Try the following until one works (unless you use anaconda, then you won't use pip most of the time, and I think you can just `conda install pip` if it's not there by default):

$ sudo pip install -U pip (for python3: sudo pip3 install -U pip)

$ sudo easy_install pip (easy_install-3 or something like that for python3)

(after, if those don't work, that you need to get it from somewhere else, most likely by installing python-pip via apt or whatever the package is in brew or whatever you are using)

When you want to install something globally, do NOT do `sudo pip install ...`, this can break things in a way that is hard to repair, do `pip install --user ...`, and make sure the path that --user installs are installed in is added to your $PATH. I think it's always ~/.local/bin/

If you are working on a project, always use a virtualenv, google for more details on that.

Is there any merit to the idea that health workers can help people and their family with being prepared for the suicide?

I think we spend too much effort on avoidance without acknowledging that people come to a conclusion of ending their life for multiple reasons, and people aren't really falling for the prevention.

Did the underlying irreconcilable problem get solved? No? Okay imma head out.

Does the person have to be in pain or struggling with something? Intervention failed

Setting up cultural barriers doesn't prevent it, setting up religious mental barriers doesn't prevent it.

The crux of the idea is that suicide hurts those still living. Maybe there is room to prepare the living for that, instead of just being collateral damage in a failed or missed intervention opportunity.

My primary argument is that our culture is too one-dimensional on this issue and maybe shouldn’t just be prevent the suicide just because.

Does the above approach have merit? Why or why not?

(edit: just saw another poster who said people that attempt it and survive don't try it again 90% of the time. that somewhat influences my thoughts, but they still attempted)
Facebook was nowhere near where it is today. It doesn’t even make money the same way with the majority of revenue and profits coming from mobile, with IG being a bigger and bigger factor. And it’s much more international (and monetizing international) now. Google was the giant when they tried Google+.
My understanding is that it is exactly the case D-wave probability distributions can be sampled classically.
No, I read science myself. I’ve read hundreds of journal articles. I know the condition. I read pharmacology textbooks.

Man I didn't expect to see this land on the front page...it was actually falling off the "new" page with a single, lonely point the last I saw it.

So basically I made this to scratch my own itch: I wanted a simple/quick way to save the books I enjoyed and read with the possibility to add a quick review and also be able to create "stacks" -- curated lists of books that fall under a common theme/category. I feel like I've seen so many of these on the web but in a unstructured format: lots of "summer reading" blog posts, celebrity reading lists, etc... and thought that having a structured way of creating lists would be a nice thing to have.

As many of you noticed, the site is not optimized for mobile, the tos suck and overall it is still very much alpha but I really appreciate the interest and hope to see some books saved and stacks created if you like the idea enough to sign up!

Also, don't take it so seriously: I know a lot of Show HNs are now part of elaborate launch campaigns but this is truly just a side project I've been hacking at and wanted to share on a whim with the community.

Cheers
Yeah, that's exactly what I say we should be doing.

Set the standard, and then ensure other countries honor that standard by penalizing offenders with tariffs.

Edit: Also, Donald Trump is well known as denier of climate change, so it's dishonest to frame his tariffs against China as a positive action for those who want to prevent climate change. China knows Trump doesn't give a shit about pollution, so they will not correct for it, which means the additional taxes have no effect on addressing climate change.

Macron deserves no defense. Please attack his hypocrisy as you please.
Big companies like Apple can easily put many people to work applying for exemptions, while small business owners can’t afford to. The mere existence of such a system is rigged in favor of incumbents.

This is the “well anyone technically could have” excuse, aka the first chapter of “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”.
Interestingly, the SAT doesn’t bother with clearing calculators. I guess they don’t think it’s that big of an advantage.
If you look at the causal end, sure. But if you look at the symptom side, why not?

At the end of the day, pain is reducible to neurons firing in succession. If you can stop it, interrupt it, filter it or block it, you would have something.
Indeed. I have a friend who spent several years in forensic medicine before settling on trauma surgery as a final career path. The stories that come from his forensic medicine years prompt emotional reactions (in most? in me!) that range from the deepest sadness to astonished/horrified amusement. I can't comprehend how he did/does it day-to-day!
Thanks, that was an interesting read. Too bad my parent comment was shadow banned. I think discussing the merits (or lack thereof) of philosophy applied to the sciences would have been far more interesting than what this post's article had to offer.
I cross a particularly busy intersection here in Melbourne as a pedestrian every day.

At least once a week I see people who are too busy playing with their phones to realise all the cars in front of them had already driven off, the traffic light was now red again, and pedestrians were about to start crossing. The sudden realisation then makes them slam the accelerator without checking their surroundings first.

At the same intersection I witnessed an accident where the first driver in line was playing with their phone, got spooked by someone honking, and ran the red light straight into traffic.

It's like they're tricking themselves into thinking they're paying enough attention.
Anyone know if this technology works? Sounds a bit too good to be true.
Having experiment Crystal for a web server benchmark, my concern is that Crystal keeps consuming available memory (optimize compiled) probably due to garbage collector compare to Go and Rust.
It's type safety. The pointer will always point to an object of the same type. This is common in operating systems, for example. You have some out of band way of verifying that the object's identity has not changed (deallocation would be a change of identity) when you access the object under some sort of serialization.

It's certainly a weaker definition of memory safety than you and I, and I would guess most people, would have in mind. So in that sense, I think the author is wrong to call it memory safety.

You're totally correct that a logic bug in this category could cause a credentials pointer to point to a different or higher set of credentials, and that is an implementation risk.
Yup, a student could easily write an app that fakes the Desmos Test Mode confirmation screen, just like how a student could write a TI-BASIC program that displays "MEMORY CLEARED" on the screen. What's old is new again...
This is grpc, Google's remote procedure call framework based on protobuffers. You don't really use it to expose public services, you mostly use it when you control both client and server endpoints, such as microservices.

You get type marshalling and other niceties with it that you don't get with REST, and it is much lighter and less complex than SOAP (on which WCF is based). Another decent alternative is json-rpc. Cross-platfofm compatibility is also miles better (ws-security and soap exceptions anybody?)
Because there are no other misdemeanors where the penalty is deportation. You are knowingly likening it to minor infractions by legal residents as an attempt to frame it in a palatable manner.

The only reason to point it out as a misdemeanor is to make it seem like it is not a problem.
Still helpful to have a calculator verify your answers even if you have to solve the problems yourself

Microsoft doesn't consider IE a browser anymore, they call it a "compatibility solution"[0][1]. If a site looks bad in IE, I think that is ok these days. (functional but ugly, is there an industry phrase to encapsulate this idea?) IE 11 was released 5 year ago...

I can also confirm that it was easy to store "notes" and write programs for TI calculators. The ability to store arbitrary ascii characters saved my butt on quite a few exams in the 2000s. Not quite sure which TI calculator I had, but I want to say 83+?

Fair enough, but that knife cuts both ways. Explain how it is not.

Explain why any young woman in tech would want to go to a conference where a bunch of old guys think it’s perfectly ok to treat her like a potential mate, instead of a colleague with a brain and technical background worth learning from and mentoring.

Explain why she should have to put up with shit like this, while her male peers do not.
