As I said, there is no conceivable way you can ensure total safety; you can only improve your odds. It's not a matter of who "the problem" is. The driver being legally to blame (which is obvious) won't bring you back from the dead.

My priorities as a pedestrian are 1) Stay safe. 2) Obey the law. I do not count on the later to satisfy the former. I go above and beyond the requirements of (2) to satisfy the requirements of (1), because I am cognizant of my inability to sue myself back to life.
Did his grade eventually get upgraded to A, or was the paper just badly written in spite of this great insight?

How exactly does DoT make any of this any better? Conceptually, your local system resolver can use DoH just as easily as DoT. The primary difference between the two protocols, from a pragmatic perspective, is that DoT can be blocked by ISPs and network providers, and DoH is harder to block.
Ask HN: Should ad blockers be limited?
It's hard accurately measure how many users that are actively blocking ads, but it's estimated that nearly a third of all computers are currently blocking ads [1]. This is a big number and it's steadily growing.

There is no doubt that this has affected the revenue for website owners negatively regardless of the size of the website. This could be damaging the web, especially for the smaller sites that receive less traffic. It's likely that we would see an increase in quality and variety of content across the web if it was more rewarding.

It's understandable that users don't want to be bombarded with ads or tracked across the web, but there should be a global list with acceptable and simple ads (banner or animation and a link) that should be enforced by all ad blockers and controlled by each add-on platform.

One might argue that AdBlock Plus implemented a list of "acceptable ads", but this is a bizarre scheme made to generate ridiculous amounts for their organization with the explanation that the fee is set due to the "significant effort" of maintaining the whitelist [2].

Do you think that ad blockers are reducing the quality of the web and should they be limited?

Dear Bureaucrat, How can I be part of real innovation?
Also, the “great wheel” in his Helliconia books (which takes this idea to rather extreme levels).
There were literally just House hearings about the impact of DoH on law enforcement investigations. You lobby against it by trying to get a law passed to ban it.
Every dollar (or hour) spent on self-driving is a dollar (or hour) not spent on mass-transit, so I'm not sure you're correct.

I think that will make your situation worse rather than better.
> Do you know of a proportional form of Bucklin voting?

Since Bucklin is essentially IRV with the same thresholds and no loser-elimination, the natural proportional generalization would be essentially STV without loser elimination (you'd keep STV’s winner elimination, of course)—and you could, as for STV, use either the Hare or Droop quota.

> I wonder how important summability is. If voters submit paper ballots, why can't election officials scan them locally and electronically transmit them to a central location for machine counting? Couldn't that make non-summable Condorcet systems work?

Sure, they can function in the ideal case; it's harder to audit the results and because the relation between any kind of subset counts or other signals and the ultimate results is somewhat opaque, it's harder to even establish rules as to when you need to do a partial or full independent confirmation. This becomes a concern if you have worries about either internal corruption or external attacks on election integrity. Ballots that can be manually canvassed in public and simply aggregated leave less room to hide shenanigans.
> "...has often been used as proof of the gullibility of the masses"

Spot on! gullibility is a very serious issue, it's a lot easier to blindly follow than to question, to research, to form an opinion. True for humanity in general, not specific to Russia.

On the other hand, if you think about it, gullibility may not be an issue at all, but a psychological defense. When times are tough we tend to be more gullible, and it brings us comfort to hear what we want to hear, or listen to confident speakers who briefly "make sense".
Yes. Designed Alpha for DEC, Designed Athlon/Athlon XP/Athlon 64 for AMD, designed network switches for SiByte/Broadcom, designed Apple's SOCs at PA Semi, designed Zen for AMD, designed AI accelerators at Tesla, now back at Intel.

They may voluntarily do so, but they are not compelled to do so. That's a seriously big issue and a common way for tyranny to get a foothold - going against convention and tradition because they aren't legally binding while hiding in a technicality of the law.

If the US government doesn't generally need sovereign immunity then it should be forced to surrender the right to exercise it or it'll be used in the worst way the first way.
I like sandboxing too, but what you just said gives a window into the problem: You don't want a program to be able to erase all your files, but you might want it to be able to create and edit files. So how do you express that clearly enough to become an automatically-enforcable security policy? Can a program only create files? Can a program create files, and only edit files it created? Can a program create files, and then edit and delete only the files it created?

Ignoring the technical details of implementing this, you still have a semantic gap between "I don't want my document editor running wild on my files" and something you can express unambiguously. The only way anyone seems to have come up with to close that gap is Popup Whack-A-Mole, which everyone seems to agree is a massive usability failure except everyone who's reinvented it.
The proposed structure is not entirely dissimilar to good old manual pages.
Rich countries are, visibly, adapting to increasing migration by adopting increasingly fascist governments. Is there any objective reason to expect this trend to reverse, as migration continues to increase?

Please explain your reasoning.

There is no reason to believe that countries that are becoming uninhabitable will become wealthy at the same time. The people who are best positioned to create wealth are exactly those who flee first.
The GP is right about infrastructure though. If EU states do not offer incentives for charging stations, the EVs will be worthless and they'll just shoot themselves and the auto industry in the foot with all the stricter emissions standards. Especially the Germans.

German here. I am mulling over the type of business because I want to grow a B2B company where there is potential for loss of service for a big corporate customer, and my fear is getting hit with a justified (or frivolous) lawsuit that will wipe me out.

So, to come back to your comment: Is there ever a situation where you as a solo-founder/owner would consider a limited-liability corp (GmbH/UG) for reasons of liability or are the only good reasons for such a corp to be able to employ people, take in outside investments and set up something like a holding structure?
>It's not inheritance of any kind because the outer struct cannot be passed into a function that takes the inner element type

My mistake. I was mislead by the blog post.

From the article:

> The new type would be interchangeable with the existing client which would minimize the need for changes to existing code.

So with go exported structs it is not fair to say they can be used interchangeably if at any point that instance is used as a parameter, field, or variable that defines the type?

In the examples given in the article, the thing that is used as parameters is the interface Client not the concrete type HTTPClient. Would that not allow CachedHTTPClient to passed around as if it was a Client and would that not show the same issues as inheritance?

leave politics out please. If I rephrase your comment using "liberal media" it would make the same (if not more) sense.
Doubtful. Boeing stock has barely been hurt by this MAX crisis. It also cannot be replaced and the US government is not going to let it go under or be bought by a non-US company.
That's what happens when bureaucracies need to justify their existence. Sad.

Not saying safety isn't important. Quite to the contrary. However, there's safety and then there's making life impossible with things that don't really add to or enhance safety.
While I generally agree that CMT threads are not a real "core" (and has never been presented as such by any other company that has explored CMT), the real problem with Bulldozer was a frequency-optimized, deeply pipelined design. AMD literally repeated the exact mistake that Intel did with Netburst. It would never have been good no matter how you positioned it.

It's kind of a pain, but you can use buildFHSUserEnv [0] to run a custom binary. If memory serves, this also works by writing the config for buildFHSUserEnv in a .nix file, running it with nix-shell, and then running the desired binary "the old-fashioned way."

Honestly, when warrants get involved then pretty much every objection I would have to the situation in this article gets thrown out. I would assume the warrant is issued in good faith by a judge that considered all the circumstances around the warrant and, thankfully, there are processes to correct warrants issued in bad faith and that will generally result in a fruit of the poisonous tree situation
Yeah, this seems like it could be a great buying opportunity. Reminds me of Toyota's unintended acceleration debacle which led to the largest auto recall in history. Very similar emotional feel. I had a coworker saying she would never ride in a Toyota again. How's Toyota doing today? Just fine.
I'm not sure that's a proper application of Too Big to Fail. Boeing is a systemically important company, but there is not much of a contagion risk in a Boeing Chapter 11. When a large financial company fails, all their counterparties are left in the lurch.

The government would absolutely provide debtor-in-possession financing if no one else would, but even that is extremely unlikely, since there are so many saleable assets.

It seems pretty likely to me that the government would prefer a Chapter 11 restructuring.

I have a 2015 e-up, it's very fun to drive and it has 210 nm of torque. My Toyota Avensis had 150 (at peak RPM).

The difference between push and pull.

Push notifications function on the principle that when a state change happens, the notification is pushed to the device.

Pull notification is when device polls some service for data, detects change, and then emits notification if change has occurred.

There are benefits and drawbacks to both.
It's also his fault they were hired in the first place.

It looks like this is a limitation because Git stores dates as seconds after the Unix epoch (1970-01-01). The underlying file format allows storing negative numbers, which would represent dates before the epoch, but most toolchains don't handle them correctly. Here's a pretty good summary:

Yeah, cloud providers do advertise DBaaS as 'simple' but there's a reason they don't advertise anything on parameter tuning or say that they replace DBAs [1]. You pay them so that they give you a self-managed database, but they definitely leave a lot of work on your plate.

$99/year is for developer support and publishing. You can use Xcode for free and even install your app on your personal device without paying a cent. What's more, I was actually talking about the OS and frameworks which are given away for free to all Apple users.
My approach would be to generate the git repo using a script of some kind. It wouldn't be particularly difficult, and then fixing a change is just a rebuild.

Ejection risks much more serious injuries. One source [0] gives 92% survival rate and a one-in-three chance of a fractured spine. The survival rate is probably higher in this scenario as the plane isn't actively on fire or too low for a parachute, but if it was me I'd sooner lose a finger or two to frostbite.

If the situation is bad enough to risk ejecting I don't think the Navy will ever expect you to preserve the plane.

I think you misunderstand. Once the power is generated it can't be stored for long. And I understand your point but you can't hold water in a reservoir/dam indefinitely, at some point you either use it to generate power or you let it flow through without generating power because otherwise the dam overflows.

> For my classes I need to run what we call "PhD-ware" every now and then (technically advanced software that is great at doing one specific job but is mostly unmaintained and requires a specific setup to work) and that's never going to be compatible with any security restriction.

Sounds like a job for Docker, or possibly a hypervisor: Put the app in a container, put the specific files it needs to work on in the container, and the app lives entirely inside that container, whether it's a Docker image or a filesystem image with an OS or something in-between; there's no security implications because it can only touch what's already in the container with it.

As a plus, the whole system (OS, configuration, application, and all) is now reified into a single container artifact you can ship around and just run. It won't rot, or at least it'll keep a lot longer (as long as the container technology keeps).

The amount of cholesterol in the blood is largely produced by our own body depending on the mix of fat and carbs that we eat, and a smaller but still significative part comes from dietary cholesterol.

Most people eat more than just an egg a day in terms of cholesterol. They eat dairy, meat, eggs, and fish multiple times a day typically one or more of those at every single meal.

So dietary cholesterol does add up over the day, combined with a bad mix of processed carbs and fats it's a recipe for disaster.

Yes, you can eat one egg day and get away with it, but most people eat way more cholesterol than that every single day.

We Need a National Vision for AI
ISPs providing DNS and caching was a key part of the Pai FCC's reclassification of ISPs as an "information service" instead of a "communication service", as part of their repeal of net neutrality.

The FCC has a lot of leeway in deciding whether something is an "information service" or a "communication service", but they do have to be able to justify the decision. Pai went with the ISP's providing DNS and caching.

I wonder, if most people end up using DNS from third parties, and caching from third party CDNs, it will make it easier for a future FCC to reclassify ISPs as communication services, and put back net neutrality?

PS: Pai's approach partially backfired. He also tried to use the FCCs power to preempt state regulation to prohibit states from imposing net neutrality. But reclassification of ISPs as information services meant that the FCC no longer had the power to regulate net neutrality (indeed, that was the point of Pai reclassifing them), and the FCC's power to preempt state regulation only applies to things that the FCC could regulate.
