I have been using yed for a while now - I don't think it exports to PDF well (not all elements are editable) BUT it is hierarchical and has some tools for automatically laying out your elements. Overall I have found it to be great for flowcharts and diagramming (atrocious was of default colors aside...) - I liked it more than draw.io when I compared them several years ago.

You can download and use yed for free - I think their business model is that you pay for integration with other tools. It's not open source though.
I think the main issues are shipping costs, supply chain, and skills base. So you’d have to argue for Israel on those three points.

Your guess is correct. And perhaps the metaphor isn't perfect (though many places don't require receipts below a certain value) but it gets the point across.
It will be extremely interesting to me if cooling begins to happen on a global scale. It could very well be that we have shifted the world hotter, so this time the cooling is less and the next warming cycle is hotter. But if we have a decade(s) of global cooling trust in our scientists and institutions will be so absolutely, impossibly damaged that the commentary will be very interesting to observe objectively.
He’s not wrong. If governments were to deliberately starve their economies of fossil fuels on the scale we need you’d see the same response as in Chile or France except much bigger and more violent- the government that does that, collapses within a fortnight.
I've followed this and related studies closely and I'm glad people are finally receiving this breakthrough cancer care.

But let this comment serve as a reminder that medical professionals aren't necessarily "good" because they're in practice. They fail patients all the time. They're not up-to-date on the latest and greatest care; they've simply memorized the cliff notes assigned to them by their overseers.
Not like it's personally his fault. I don't really like the average millennial either. I'm a millennial raised by an immigrant middle class single parent and somehow I managed to avoid virtually all of the problems associated with my generation.

What do you mean? The searches happened at US ports of entry on US soil and were conducted by agents of the US government. In many cases the victims were US citizens. It was already a clear 4th amendment violation; the court has merely affirmed that.

Haha, thanks. Nah, I wrote that just now and don't have, like, a source I go to for this stuff that's not pretty well-known already, or a blog or anything. Maybe I should start one. Not exactly ready to explain anything else like that off-the-cuff in an HN post at the moment :-)

What is this "unimaginable grief" you think outlier patients will receive if anonymized data is provided to Google? Seems a bit hyperbolic.
It's not a myth, it's just that the extreme cases people are thinking of are relatively few and far between.

I'm not making any case for it being somehow common, just that when people see the genuine article, which obviously exists, it's pretty repulsive. It's not that they're all getting rich or even middle class, and you can't really get rich off this stuff, it's that they get off on getting something for nothing. "The Queen" is not the only welfare queen because New Republic wrote a story about one lady.

There are also far less repulsive, but very disappointing misuses of public welfare systems. I know a lady in my city who receives a housing benefit which could buy her a rental unit here, but she spends it on hard drugs instead. You can follow the money from these programs from the public coffers to the wallets of illicit drug dealers and traffickers. An argument could be made that paying more attention to how that benefit is paid out, would give some people a better chance of seeking treatment rather than buying more drugs.

And no, it's not based on "a single person"; it takes a profound kind of class ignorance to say something that ridiculous.
What 'HF'T teams do is high frequency trading, or rather low latency trading. You put offers in the book you feel comfortable trading at, and you are happy if you trade at that price. If the market price stays static they pick up the spread on average. However, the reason they are so tight in the order book, is because if the market moves they're very quick to pull their offers and bids and move to a new price. HFT companies are providing liquidity in that situation. As long as you place a single order, it will get fulfilled.

So to be clear, the HFT firm that places orders in the market want to trade those offers. They're comfortable placing those orders more competitively than your average punter because they can respond to market moving events quicker.

Layering and spoofing is something different - you're placing orders in order to make people think you want to trade, but you don't.

It's like asking me what's the difference between Al Gore offering you money to tackle climate change and a climate change denier offering you money to tackle climate change? Well one of them is clearly lying.
> For example a tourist or someone on an expired visa (edit: or an unexpired but non-immigrant visa) doesn't have the same 2A rights as a US citizen or permanent resident.

AFAICT, that’s the practical effect of a holding of an single intermediate appellate court this year on an issue that while important on its own was kind of a side issue in a campaign finance case, and the rationale seems a bit wobbly; and it's logic actually assumes as a starting point hat non-immigrant visa holders having the same 2A rights as everyone else.

While it is for the moment binding precedent within the 9th Circuit, I wouldn't draw any broad generalizations from it, or, even, assume it will hold up on the future.

Not so sure... considering we tend to eventually isolate a few characteristics and bread widely for them, practically eliminating most variety and creating huge mono-crop environments.

Regarding another thread, if plants could chose their characteristics I would imagine we'd see anti-veg memes much like we see anti-meat memes. While there are carnivores out there as a lifestyle, it's nothing compared to what over a century of SDA has brought to veganism.

You still need baseload power plants, and the economics of battery-based storage plants aren't there yet.

This is also not true - solar + battery is a perfect use case for distributed deployment

This is simply not feasible. Do the math. To store 3 days worth of current US energy use, you need to build $50 trillion worth of batteries. If you assume that the battery installation lifetime is 20 years, and amortize it over that period, you’re looking at over 10% of US GDP spent just on building and installing the batteries. Seriously, do the math.
Problem is, no one wants to pay for nuclear energy. The late T Boone Pickens saw the writing on the wall for carbon based energy, and he had his team of investment experts look around and experiment with different solutions for over a decade to see which solutions provided the best investment opportunities. In the end, even T Boone Pickens, one of the most notoriously ultra conservative men ever, was throwing nearly all of his new investment into wind farms.

Government needs to put its fingers on the scale until men and organizations with billions to invest can run the numbers on nuclear and have it be more profitable than slapping up windmills. We're not gonna entice the money guys we need to entice with opportunities that are less profitable, involve more tech risk, and have a longer time period to first revenue.
> Applying intermediate scrutiny to the federal ban on arms possession by unauthorized aliens, the court found the law to be reasonable. Since unauthorized aliens "often live largely outside the formal system" and are "harder to trace and more likely to assume a false identity," the government may rationally limit their access to firearms.

> Thus, the Seventh Circuit leaves Meza-Rodriguez with the right to bear arms, but without the ability to exorcise that right under federal law.

What is the point of a theoretical right that can't be exercised in practice? Citizens of the USSR had the right to free speech, free political expression, etc.
That’s an impressive level of opsec, but I have to think it would be a huge story if Apple were adding printer-dot-style tracking watermarks to screenshots, and that someone would have found it by now.
Although the court ruled that such searches require reasonable suspicion the court also denied any form of injunctive relieve forbidding CBP or ICE from conducting such searches in cases where there is no reasonable suspicion. Until such an injunction is given expect CBP and ICE agents to continue to perform searches based upon current agency policy.
There's plenty of new ideas around, you don't have to generate them yourself. If you ask in forums or search the web you can get a big list. The problem is culling the list for practical and successful ideas. Somebody has to invest the time and/or money do actually do it, and accept the high risk of failure typical of startups and new open-source projects. That's probably the bottleneck.

Ideas are cheap, execution is not.

Here's a free sample tip: Dynamic Relational. It's the new "plastic" (a movie reference). The NoSql movement has shown a market/desire for dynamic databases. But with Dynamic Relational you get dynamism AND sql; you don't have to choose one or the other. And you can set constraints/rules to gradually make it more "static" like traditional RDBMS.
We developed an OSS ML Server called Harness. It does all ingest, prepare, Algorithm management, workflow bits for pugable ML "Engines". These are Algorithms + Datasets + Models and are flexible enough to do most anything. We use the build-in Universal Recommender Engine, and have built our own for other uses.

Harness exposes a framework for adding Engines and does all the routing for Engine Instance workflow and lifecycle management. It also provides a toolbox of abstractions for using the Spark ecosystem with Mongo and Elasticsearch.

It comes in a docker-compose system for vertical scaling and Kubernetes for ultimate in scaling an automation. Quite a nice general system with out of the box usefulness.

> Government is usually optimized around operational activity, and it usually does so very well from the perspective of how the organization is designed.

First, I think this depends a lot on your locality. I think you'll find a lot of places where people are nowhere near as complimentary about basic government services like DMV as you seem to be.

Second, I think this depends a lot on the type of service and how large a segment of the population needs it. Everybody gets driver's licenses, so there is a limit to how much suckitude the DMV can have before it becomes a political issue. But many social services are only used by a small fraction of the population, so unless you are one of those people or know one of them closely enough, you won't be aware of how much those services suck, and if you are aware of it, you will have a very hard time getting other people, who don't use the services and don't know anyone who does, to care. And the people who do need those services are usually those who have little if any ability to push back at suckitude.

Finally, I think you are ignoring the huge difference in how the incentives of a government organization are determined, as compared with those of a corporation. A corporation is a business: its fundamental incentive is to make money. Corporations that don't do that go out of business. A government organization, however, has whatever incentives were put in place by the political process that created it (and those incentives can gradually change as the political process changes); and the one constant about government organizations is that, once they're created, they never go away.

Anyone disillusioned by the thought that Apple values privacy would be well served by reading iOS, The Future Of macOS, Freedom, Security And Privacy In An Increasingly Hostile Global Environment - https://gist.github.com/iosecure/357e724811fe04167332ef54e73...

There is so much more to privacy than is made apparent to the user as a few OS knobs to "limit" ad tracking.
But you're not under arrest or being detailed in this case. Not sure what a lawyer could do in this instance.
Just like how FISA courts have granted NSA access to whatever they want because “the person will never find out their privacy was violated, therefore it’s not that big of a deal”.

This is what the Yahoo attorneys were told in one of the few partially declassified FISA court hearings by the judge when they tried to push back on a sweeping warrant, which I believe involved full emails/information for not only a group of individuals but every person they talked to 2 hops, which quickly turns into thousands of people and companies.

The effects of climate change will play play out across many localized areas. Some will be dramatically more impacted than others. The impacts will require remediation solutions, some difficult and expensive. Millions will be displaced and affected, and complex engineering challenges will arise.

This will not end humanity. The apocalypse is not coming. Humans will adapt because we have no choice. Engineering a solution to a global climate problem is borderline impossible. Engineering a solution to imminent local direct impacts of climate change is a more coherent, approachable problem.

I agree with the author's assessment - humans require fossil fuels for society's function. Thus, instead of moping around about how we are all fucked, it seems a more productive exercise to sort out how to cohabitate a world where we are going to continue consuming, for the medium term, our near infinite supply of natural gas for energy.
It's not the worst idea. If they had performance problems in multiple regions, their engineers would be chasing peak hours around the clock. If they focus on NA first, they can at least get some sleep at the end of the day.

No, it's federal law that includes among it's explicit exemptions possession of a valid state hunting license. The law has not been much litigated, though the Ninth Circuit upheld it earlier this year in a case that was mostly a campaign finance crimes case but also involved gun possession by the foreign, non-immigrant defendant.

And, of course, to build significant acreages of solar farms, you need to destroy ecosystems already existing there. Consider, for example, the case of the desert tortoises that were blocking the construction of the Ivanpah Solar Plant. The company building it had to spend over $20 million to have people literally walk over the area to find and relocate every desert tortoise living there. This was in the middle of the desert a few dozen miles south of Las Vegas.

In case people aren't aware, such a thing _is_ possible. Companies have used steganography techniques in the past to secretly embed identifiers into movies and other visual content. It's been used to track down the movie leakers, for example.

Another example; most printers covertly embed an identifier in their prints.

I have a vague memory of a pre-release video game doing it? Or maybe it was just debugging information that they were embedding. shrug

Personally I don't believe Apple is doing what you describe (though maybe they might do it to a prototype iPhone). But it's certainly your right to hold that belief and take measurements to protect yourself. Shame you're getting downvoted for explaining yourself.
