I felt that the last sentence tag indicated the author was thinking of gender-fluid people as abstractions rather than actual human beings

Fluid as in changing frequently? Maybe, I don't personally know anyone who fits that description and frankly I'd probably be unimpressed by someone with gender swinging like a weather vane.

Nonbinary? Yes, an immediate family member who is also stable in their identification and in a stable long term relationship. Also some folks I've interacted with in professional settings where it's none of my business how they identify.

Also several people from my fairly close circle in college, but it's been long enough since I graduated and everyone scattered that I don't talk much with any of that circle regardless of gender.

My snark was directed more at what sounds like a potentially troublesome change that could add a lot of headaches to what I suspect is already an often thankless volunteer position.

You can actually get many kinds of cheese which is similar to parmigiano in Europe.
Grana Padano is a much less expensive protected hard cheese, and many producers have similar non-protected cheese (Biraghi is a very large producer, for example).
There's usually plenty of mixed pre-grated cheese bags too.

The point is: it's not called parmigiano or parmesan, as that would be cheating the consumer.
Some interesting numbers:

- From the abstract:

> Combining ingredients from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the high-luminosity LHC upgrade and adding novel technologies and approaches, the FCC-hh design aims at significantly extending the energy frontier to 100 TeV.

- From the paper:

> The overall project duration of FCC-hh as a “stand-alone” project is 23 years, composed of two major parts: the preparation phase spanning 8 years and the construction
phase spanning 15 years.

- From Wikipedia [1]:

> First collisions were achieved in 2010 at an energy of 3.5 teraelectronvolts (TeV) per beam, about four times the previous world record. After upgrades it reached 6.5 TeV per beam (13 TeV total collision energy, the present world record).

> But then again, BBC and CNN, and social media agreed, thought China would dump $1+ trillion in US bonds for pennies on the dollar and lose out on the loan leveraging they get to "punish the US"...by bankrupting themselves? Which never happened anyways.

There's plenty of hyperbole out there, but hyperbole doesn't negate reality. China is buying fewer treasury bonds, and this is one reason why the bottom fell out of the market for purchasing U.S. treasury bonds, requiring Federal Reserve intervention. It's one, small reason, but it will become increasingly more important as Chinese purchases drop while U.S. deficits continue their upward climb.

The reason you know Trump isn't crazy like a fox is because his policies are inconsistent and erratic. Demanding your investment managers to buy high, sell low doesn't make you Warren Buffett. Starting a trade war with the expectation that the other guy will flinch before you doesn't make you a cunning strategist; it just makes you dangerous.
> As someone who has to use Excel a lot, I'm very interested in what your typical workflow looks like.

It's pretty standard Excel stuff: summing columns, averaging, functions combining multiple columns, pivot tables. The significant difference is that I routinely deal with 20k+ rows, and occasionally 100k+ rows. For simple stuff, standard Excel starts breaking down with 10k+ rows, and it even struggles with 1k rows with more complicated manipulation.
So your issue is with the term design language?
This is the sort of feature that could get me using Brave instead of Firefox. Great job by those guys, I've been wanting something like this for a while now!
> Australian government to crack down on climate protesters

This title is editorialised but sums up the left well.

Stealing a goat is not climate protest, it is about veganism and animal rights. It has nothing to do with climate protest at all.

This lack of coherent thought typifies the left well and drives people in the opposite direction.

This is a crack down on all protesters as the papers title correctly says.

And the question is does a small group of Neo-Nazis have the right to repetitively shut down main roads multiple times a week in peak hours for months.

If not, then neither does any small group of protesters. If it's about a wider issue worthy of support then get more people to prove the point or sacrifice more personally to show your commitment.
An obvious interpretation of "matching" here is "as bullish as the OP take is bearish."

The walkscore data is separate from the earnings records; it's calculated almost on-demand from the Google Maps API. The earning records are from https://opportunityinsights.org/paper/land-of-opportunity/, they didn't actually analyze the records themselves.

I set up a Shopify store from China (where a VPN is mandatory), and eventually had to tell Shopify to delete the site because I literally couldn't complete the captchas any more to access it. Couldn't even back up anything before bailing.

Before the complete lockout it was taking around 20 minutes of busses, bikes, sidewalks, and stoplights each login. Nasty feeling when you come back and you realize you have to log back in for some reason.

Generally to exploit an OS from within Chrome you need 2 vulnerabilities: (1) to break out from javascript into machine code execution within the sandbox, (2) to break out of the sandbox into the general OS (and maybe (3) to then get root on the OS).

From my reading of this comment[1], it sounds like this vulnerability is such that if an attacker has vulnerability (1), this vulnerability can be used as vulnerability (2) and (3). It sounds like NSO group either had or has a separate vulnerability (1), possibly something from [2].

Major difference is they do anonymous cross-chain swaps using multisig escrow. So you can change bitcoin into Monero (a fully anonymous coin) without any intermediary. This makes it extremely valuable if you operate in an economy that never converts to fiat, or does so as little as possible.
I’m not sure if the podcast covered it, but I found it funny that the Canadians are claiming that her phone wasn’t searched, and will release it as long as the defence agrees that it wasn’t searched.

If the defence doesn’t agree, the Canadians want to send it for forensic examination to prove that they didn’t search it.
Well by definition things that make people ill aren't regarded as edible. Technically castor oil is edible, but you shouldn't consume it.
If the microneedles are part of a watch and the watch is simply worn on the wrist like a normal watch, how do you avoid (1) breaking the needles, or (2) contaminating the needles with random substances that are present on the user's skin or periodically enter between the watch and the skin?

Could you replace the needles somehow? Can you avoid having to replace the needles frequently?

Every worn device that I'm aware of that continuously interacts with the body in some way is either totally noninvasive (like a pulse oximeter that just shines light through a finger, or an EEG with external electrodes placed against the skin) or invasively and persistently attached to the bloodstream or an organ system (like an IV, an insulin pump, or an implantable defibrillator).

Or do you have to somehow deliberately engage and retract the needles when putting on and taking off the watch? But wouldn't they break, or something, when the watch moves around on your wrist?

Or do you apply a disposable or partly disposable sensor under adhesive tape to one part of the body, and then have the watch receive data from it using electrical or electromagnetic signals?
What's the support for hot-reloading in Vue 3? (as in Fighweel for example), i.e. state survives re-loading of component code, so you can see your changes right away without any navigation action.

This used to kinda work with Vue 2 by passing down all your state through props.
We use "Infrastructure as Code thing[s]" but no way would we use, say terraform, to execute a change to a public-facing DNS record without confirming whether it was an update or a destroy/create operation. I'm not shaming someone who does, or did, and I love Rachael by the Bay, but there seemed to be a wee bit of snark coming through with respect to all the "magic" layers of stuff that makes things work in the cloud. I don't know if it's the old "the cloud is just someone else's computer" thing that you often hear, but honestly I wish we'd get over it. Cloud computing has been transformative, and there are lots of business that are able to exist because of the efficiencies derived from these platforms. I don't think there's much question that cloud deployments can be done correctly and managed well, and after all there is always someone upstream whose competence you rely on.
would love to read comments on Sabine Hossenfelder book "Lost in Math" related to this

She basically makes the claim we have no good scientific reason to build this at the moment
The main problem is that errors accumulate and your circuits are extremely "anti-robust".

If you put an antenna or something next to it there was a good chance it would stop working properly for example.
In theory yes, however you have now possibly hurt foreign consumers of your products such that even in the absence of formal retaliatory tariffs, you may have harmed your export market.
The whitelist based approach seems pretty limiting, doesn't it? If every exit node is expected to enumerate the domains it will carry traffic to, what happens if a client needs to connect to a new site? Are exit nodes intended to keep massive, curated whitelists?

Something isn't adding up, to me. If the assumption is that all "good" sites _can_ be enumerated, then wouldn't Tor (or other systems) exit nodes already be capable of blocking CP?

Someone connect the dots for me....
Dunno why someone would think you can avoid the US’ reach by going through Canada. And then taking flights over US airspace...
This inspires some nifty applications for headset/eyeglass AR. I second the request for source code, it’d be great to play with this on something like the vuzix or HoloLens.
So I guess the 6 figures I gave them wasn't enough? Holding money is very profitable. Some genius at the fed decided it was smart to let them lend out 10x the amount of deposits... invent money out of thin air. For every $1 you give them, they are allowed to pretend they have $9 for themselves. It's a rigged joke.
You must be talking about ultra luxury or something? Because the online aftermarket for BMW and Mercedes autoparts quite large.

Sure, more expensive than standard cars, but I have never heard of anyone not able to find a part immediately available.
A for loop seems to be supported but there is no documentation on how to use it. I'm getting the following error when trying to use a loop index i:

Legally blind person here. I've followed these claims for a while and am very interested in them. I was very excited when I first heard about this phenomena but quickly became skeptical when I couldn't find any serious research of it. Other than some case reports and a few people on the internet claiming they could do this. Also the near constant resurgence of Daniel Kish every time someone writes about this gives it kind of cult like vibe.

Honestly, the reporting has been of a somewhat offensive variety. Particularly an NPR article and podcast a few years back. The reporting was like, "you'll never believe what this blind person can do! They ride a bike!"

Which of course we can. A completely blind person could absolutely learn to ride a bike, especially in a place they knew was safe and had repeat access to. The article failed utterly to gauge the actual day to day impact this supposed echolocation had. That's the true way to judge if a piece of equipment or technique is helpful to a disabled person. What does it do for them at their worst not in their most well known and optimal setting. I don't need my monocular at any of the street crossings near my home. I know their timings and patterns like my morning routine.

Even worse the article blaimed the failure of this technique to catch on upon orientation and mobility experts who assist blind people in learning to navigate the world.

I've worked with quite a few of these folks and the idea of suppressing effective behavior to better fit in is super outmoded. Even in the 90s in the rural state I grew up in that would not have been tolerated. If anything the low blind and low vision folks themselves cares far more about whether they stood out than the mobility experts did.

Anyway, the dearth of significant research, the seeming inability to spread it widely through the mobility and orientation community and its near total revolution around the claims of Kish leave it feeling a bit suspicious. I hope it's real and can help a lot of people by becoming standard education for blind and low vision but I'm not holding my breath.
Back in late 1980's I went to a university where the administration thought it would important for every freshman to get a macintosh. So, we bought on this idea and shelled out 2000 each for a machine that would propel us into the future. A machine that had no hard drive, ran software on diskettes and had no memory protection. I can not remember how many times I lost my paper because that damn thing would just reboot out of memory. It was a badly designed machine that would be ok for games but not for serious homework/work. A classmate of mine got so fed that that he threw it out of his dormitory window. Steve had the charisma to sell an idea but at that time there were other alternatives that would better for a lot of people. Sometimes I wonder, if the administration of uninversity got any kick-backs from Apple executives, if you understand what I mean
Are you saying that OP is trying to do denial of service attacks? Stopping random users from accessing web sites isn't thwarting a DOS attack. If they classify random users as part of some bot net, it sounds like their algorithms are buggy.
Rem Koolhaus calls this thinking the “culture of congestion” in his 1978 book “Delirious New York”.

It’s fascinating, and these ideas have all been explored before. Have multi-level streets ever worked?
Not really Canada needed another source for selling its oil and possibly lumber because America loves strong arming it in trade deals because it's 1/10 the size. So geopolitically this move hurt Canada quite a bit. It could've gotten itself out of it by releasing Meng on some technicality but would've then felt Trump's ire.

Please do ban cars from Manhattan. Went in to have dinner the other night on the lower east side, and yes we drove and it's craziness. I stress out like mad every time I have to contemplate doing it. I'd rather never do it again, but if they really want to ban cars from the island the transit lines from NJ and CT would need to add a lot of capacity, especially on weekends.

I am wondering if someone is keeping track of laws in a git repo so we can see diffs and possibly undo damage in the future?
This.

It just happens to be a very specific market where I would dare to say (and this is just my opinion) most consumers are willing to pay a little more for the real deal, that is, the imported goods instead of looking for "local substitutes"...

Both the taste preference and the "perceived value" are super important in the market for alcoholic beverages.
Totally, motorcycles, buses, etc. are all transient noise in a city louder than this vehicle. Other comments below are acting like these VTOLs would just be hovering over our apartments all the time, but it's actually closer to normal city sounds.
Does anyone know why you can't turn off Cloudflare's security?
Emergency JATO? :D
This looks a lot more credible than the Moeller flying car :-). I'm never sure if I should be excited or not about flying cars in that I am already paranoid about someone running a red light, I'd hate to be tootling down the freeway and suddenly have a carplane appear on the road in front of me!

That said, make it a four passenger version and have them streaming across the Bay to off load the bridge infrastructure? That would be pretty cool. Would need a really good load/unload infrastructure though. I could see it making living in the Sierra foothills more realistic though.
Sounds like an improper use of prayer then. The refrain "I'm praying for you" isn't meant to be some kind of conspicuous display of faith.
No need for a Ferrari when a Fiat does the job.

Naturally there are those that feel entitled to get a Ferrari to go down the grocery store, but that is their problem.

If one is buying enterprise class prices, then it is always going to be more expensive with Apple's hardware, because those compilers and IDEs are not part of Apple's offering, adding to the already expensive hardware price.

And if by hardware workstation, you want a really beefy one, the Apple's alternative is only their top hardware.

Thus at the end of the day, when one does the math of what one is getting per buck/dollar/yen/..., still way over the usual budget on PC side.
Happens to me all the time, and I just move on.

So far, nothing of value was lost.
The sleaze will slime you, and it's hard to escape it, regardless of whether you use Infrastructure as Code or do things by hand.

Even by hand, it would be easy to do destroy/create -- even if update would have been better -- and think that a few seconds downtime will not do much harm.
Except that it is quite likely the best quality Chinese attacks come from compromised machines in the United States.
As a corollary to that, I can’t believe that the FDR is only 3 lanes at most points. It’s ridiculous for a road with that should in practice be a highway.
I'll be honest, I don't find the Platinum Rule at all a compelling argument against the Golden Rule. There are many cases of people in power claiming that their behavior is what the other person "really" wants (such as women "really" want to be treated poorly, or the slaves really prefer subservience as it's their destined station in life). And who am I to be able to speak about what someone else wants?
It's a full time job enough to figure out what I claim I want, or want in any given moment vs what I truly desire underneath the socially accepted artifice of what I "should" want or want long term. Trying to presume what others want is pointless, IMHO.
But I can do a little presumption and say that for the most part, people are pretty similar, and in those cases where I get it wrong, a mea culpa goes a long way to smooth out the differences.
Of course, as much as possible, I will try to customize based on what I think the other party may want, but that is fundamentally based upon my following the Golden Rule, and the Platinum Rule is just a refinement on that, not really a fundamental principle I can base my actions upon.

Of course, much of this may be a distinction without a difference in actual application :)
And fewer fatal transactions.
If it's "blatant criminality", sue them in court. Deplatforming is literally passing the buck to some other platform.
Ask HN: Did anyone leave Software Engineering as your profession? If yes, why?
I am a Software engineer right now with over 4 years of experience. I have been having this feeling lately, that I feel the excitement I experience is not enough and I need more. So, I have been thinking about doing other things.

Has anyone else here felt the same? Or felt like being done with Software engineering? If so, I would like to know when did you figure this out and what are you doing right now, and how did you end up doing what you are doing?

Asking for Software Engineering in particular, because I have seen people from other professions find coding as a passion and wanted to know if there are people who went the other way.
And yet Fun will never die.
> "The US was given the go-ahead to impose tariffs on $7.5bn (£6.1bn) of goods it imports from the EU following a World Trade Organisation (WTO) ruling on Wednesday."

After reading this, I had the stupid question:

Couldn't producers of tariffed goods in an EU country send their goods to a shipping hub of a nearby non-EU country to change the country of origin to avoid the tariffs?

Example: Could or could not Scottish whisky producers send their bottles to be shipped from Iceland to America to avoid the tariffs?

My presumption of the article is that places matter more to the tariffs than the actual goods themselves sourced from anywhere else (?).
