I'm not a doctor, so take this with a grain of salt, but generally something classified as an STI has difficulty surviving outside the human body. It's not impossible, and anything that allows that pathogen to get into the bloodstream is a risk factor for the infection to spread. Things like blood transfusions, or unclean practices like needle sharing, could all contribute. Sex is by far the most common means of transmission, but it isn't the only way. It couldn't possibly be; otherwise how would the first human have become infected?
The 7000 lines don't bother me as much as the complete lack of refactoring, heavy use of magic numbers repeated throughout, and logical expressions that duplicate logic over and over again.

Some examples...

Compare these two blocks of assignments and memcpy calls:

https://github.com/trustcrypto/libraries/blob/5bd1f8eb15eb04...

https://github.com/trustcrypto/libraries/blob/5bd1f8eb15eb04...

Yes, they are as identical as they appear. The only differences (other than a couple of lines commented out in one) are the use of 'data' in the first and 'large_resp_buffer+offset' in the second, along with some arbitrary whitespace differences. (The first uses spaces around the + operators, the second does not.) And all the hard coded numbers! What do they mean?

Or this block of code that appears to be a limited version of a decimal number formatter:

https://github.com/trustcrypto/libraries/blob/5bd1f8eb15eb04...

Or this code that keeps checking the same flags over and over again instead of combining the tests:

https://github.com/trustcrypto/libraries/blob/5bd1f8eb15eb04...

(Scroll horizontally to see all the repeated tests!)

Or this code with the same logic repeated 24 times:

https://github.com/trustcrypto/libraries/blob/5bd1f8eb15eb04...

The next function after that one also has 24 copies of duplicate logic.

Well, the logic isn't entirely duplicated. The individual cases call functions like onlykey_eeget_urllen1, onlykey_eeget_urllen2, ... onlykey_eeget_urllen24, and onlykey_eeset_urllen1, onlykey_eeset_urllen2, ... onlykey_eeset_urllen24. Here are those functions:

https://github.com/trustcrypto/libraries/blob/527113dfeeb20e...

Yes, they are all identical except for the different constants each one uses:

https://github.com/trustcrypto/libraries/blob/527113dfeeb20e...

This pattern of "24 copies of the same logic with different constants" occurs all through the code. Look through okeeprom.h/cpp for several other examples.

None of this inspires confidence that the code can be trusted.
Yes, we do so for more complex formats like YAML and XML. However, for JSON, reimplementing is worth it for binary portability.
I believe all of these generally stem from US law making it impossible to charge someone for being an idiot. So provably contradictory claims like "Hit the payroll goals" and "Don't commit wage theft" can be demanded by management all day.

However, actual liability is only accrued by those who act on those policies.

It'd be nice to see liability, once determined at a lower level, forced to follow the organization chart back to the root decision. Possibly balanced for something like direct reports.

E.g. you manage 100 people, 20 of them committed fraud, you have a 20/100 share of the crime
Uh that is treating the value from the A/D conversion as an address, and reading that location for data to stir in.

Unless HN markup ate the &s that are missing.

That is very bad code indeed.
Parent is clearly comparing present day to two generations ago to make an argument that there's been a general positive claim. Present day Germany is completely irrelevant to their point.
Hydrogen is a junk technology. What is the easiest place to get hydrogen? Petrol and other hydrocarbons. Extracting it from water would take more energy than using existing fossil fuel. The tech was expensive, would probably stay expensive, and was pretty bad environmentally. Hydrogen is also really difficult to transport in the amounts needed to fuel fleets of cars. It died because it sucked.
I've been building a list[1] of file transfer tools with their perks, there's a few new ones from this thread that I will add.

I used to run a transfer service myself but it wasn't up to scratch with the competition and it was costing me money so I decided to aggregate them instead.

Are you sure that’s how it works? I thought the distinction was ownership versus lease.

You lease it for 50 years, but in the end you can sell the actual property to a citizen or sell it to a non-citizen who will get a 50 year lease.

I think what some people don't understand here is how working with the FAA is fundamentally different than the DMV.

The DMV has to keep as many people driving as reasonably possible, since in the US it's practically impossible to live life normally without a car (excepting major cities)

Flying, on the other hand, is viewed as a privilege by the FAA. You do not have a right to fly anything. And the FAA will do everything it can to make sure flying is safe, even if it means barring the majority of the population from ever qualifying to fly.

I don't think they will treat drones any differently.

So to everyone who is shocked at how hard the FAA is being about drones, welcome to flying. This is par for the course for us pilots.
Yes, and I thought it was interesting that the birds (or at least some of them) had solved the problem of "how do we optimize our bird seed consumption" by going to the source instead of a backyard bird feeder.

I remember that one! I also once saw somewhere a lighter version of this - a reporter is bracing against a "strong wind", seemingly straining, trying to not get "blown away", and a moment later the camera captures some pedestrians walking perfectly normally.

Anyway, the top comment on that YouTube video nails it: "The lump in your stomach really starts to feel big when you realize they do the exact same type of thing when reporting terror attacks, wars, political scandals, you name it."
I dunno, man. As you mentioned, all of the people who implement or enforce GDPR compliance seem to think that "our business model relies on ads" is a sufficient reason to require tracking. Maybe the regulators are just biding their time before pouncing, but I'm not sure why they'd want to do that or what they're waiting for after a year and a half. It seems more likely that GDPR as an ad industry killer was just a piece of HN lore that didn't end up panning out.

How would you implement this? Are you talking about amending § 91.119?

You'd also need to amend right of way rules:

This would make it very hard for anyone operating smaller aircraft under busy charlie or bravo shelves. Also, would there be exclusions around airports for pattern work?

How would folks operating the toys even know about these altitudes? Really, if the toy can enter echo airspace, it should require some sort of license to operate.
Exactly! You seem to get it, the issue is not the lack of knowledge of ethics, but the lack of power. That's one of the many, many reasons why strong unions are so important and in this country we see the effects of not having them.

Without protection for people refusing to do bad things, you create a system when there's always someone desperate, hungry or unethical enough to do things that shouldn't be done.
Why? I don't run a website that collects information on people. Also, I'm not under the delusion that I'm a lawyer.
Target based metrics, be it budget targets or output targets, are too fragile to be useful in my opinion. There is likely a perfect number that's totally reasonable, ensures good productivity while leaving enough room to be safe and grow. But I've yet to see something like that implemented. I've also never seen targets make a company a better place to work, and I would argue that if somewhere is not a good place to work it's inherently less productive and efficient. Management can always compensate for that with more hours or more humans, but you're bloating your system.

Like retail stores with 8 employees on, where some are meant to handle stock and some are meant to serve customers, but you've given them all sales budgets for the day. The stock doesn't get handled, and you have 8 people not meeting their budgets. All the employees are unhappy about that, stressed, and working against eachother to try to succeed.

Competitive metrics just makes it so you have a handful of "star" people, who are great at undermining their colleagues in order to meet their own budget. Rather than an effective team of good people. So in the example, by the metrics, you have 1 good employee and 7 bad ones, no one is happy, your processes have fallen apart and your team doesn't work effectively together. The only people who get fired are the employees, yet the store continues to underperform.
But what about “they’re”, “there”, and “their”? And other homonyms people frequently misspell?
Unfortunate realities aren't something to be proud of. Just because it's necessary doesn't make it good, and doesn't mean you can't have empathy
There is quite a lot to learn from Rome's stability, but of course it wasn't perfect. But I do believe there are evolutionary forces at play where stronger societies displace weaker ones, and after the advent of writing, we can access the morality of long running societies and use that as an input into our own. This is a much more valuable inheritance from Rome than just the architecture or Latin alphabet. For example, rule of law (the Romans were fanatically legalistic) continues to be an important inheritance in the West, and the notion that there is something moral about following the rules and being a law-abiding citizen is an important part of the Western heritage.

But you are right, the idea that you can come up with a quaint mathematical argument (and the mathematical insight here is pretty basic) as a replacement for studying history and philosophy is very foolish.
Hopefully wasm's gc proposals will be implemented and get LLVM support, allowing languages like Crystal to sanely support wasm.
It’s literally the opposite of that. There’s nothing new therefore the entire thing should be released to the public.
Those sort of things would kill any interest I might otherwise have in seeing those movies.
The question then becomes at what "time to task completion" and "size of task repertoire" does a job become economically viable for an employer. I tend to think that the line between unskilled and skilled, barring educational or professional requirements, parallels the line between a dialect and a language: "skilled" work is "unskilled" work with a union.
I can guarantee you there is enough instructional material online about machine learning to be useful.

Ethical failures can be structural, not merely individual. I think the problem you rightly identify is that decision making power and ethical responsibility are delegated separately, allowing a kind of ethical-risk arbitrage. This seems to be a failure of regulation in this particular case, or in general of ethics in management rather than engineering.

It is. that's why strong labor laws protect everyone, not just the workers, and why well run Unions are so fundamental to the sustainability of an economy.

I am certain we are them. Emotions and feelings are entirely an animal trait in us.

Whether they are us is a more complicated question. What are their language and reasoning abilities? Apparently no animals ask questions, even after being “asked”. Seems that questioning and reasoning is what makes us human (sapient).

I’m pointing this out because most people would say that it’s the emotions and feelings that distinguish us. That’s not the case.
It seems like having only some team members be able to really understand the code would still be a risk.

It's a classic example of a legislative loophole. What the cookie law was actually trying to do was provide a way for users to opt-out of cookie-based tracking. But, someone figured out that if you just ask for permission to use cookies (for any reason) and refuse service if the opt-out, you'd still be following the letter of law (but not the intent).

Arguably, this is one of the reasons why the GDPR was necessary.
> I am just about to sell my father's $320,000 house so I can pay for his nursing home care.

You’d be doing this in the UK on the NHS too. The patient needs to pay until their assets are drawn down until a certain amount, and then the government will take over until death.
Point. I guess the more 1:1 analogy would be having the radio on in the background. muses

The closest I can come to explaining where my distaste seems to come from is wasted opportunity.

In the modern era, we have unrivaled access to the thing (e.g. the musical piece, specific performance, news report, piece of information, best show or movie of all time) itself. And yet we're so in need of filler that we're willing to put any damn thing on?

That seems close to it, as I don't have nearly the adverse gut reaction to music as I do to television. Or even to television-sans-ads to television-with-ads.
Epstein was an already known sex offender and had previously done time for it.
I can't wait until I can get rid of home Internet. And just have a dumbphone as the only way to contact me. Or mail. I'll just hit up a coffee shop or the library every week or two to pay bills and see family photos or whatever. Savings on Internet and related bills would let me buy more physical media than I'd have time to consume anyway, while still saving money, even if I just threw away everything after reading/watching/listening once.
Great example. Another is that you may have one "star" employee who consistently notices the thing that most needs doing despite incentives, like jumping on the stock problem, and when review time comes around, they're the absolute worst employee on paper. So you fire them, and things get worse, and there's no obvious reason in the analytics as to what went wrong.
One of the nice things about OnlyKey is you have options.
- You can use OnlyKey to store a password up to 56 characters long for Windows login. You don't remember this password OnlyKey types it for you.
- You can use OnlyKey as a FIDO2 security key to login to Windows with Azure AD.
You keep stating the rule over and over as if the details make it better. They do not. Under the proposed regulation:

* Drones are only ever as reliable as the internet connection.

* Drones cannot be used outside of locations with internet.

* A small number of centralized servers are given authority over a large number of drones. This is a very real risk.
That's somewhat pointless. You have an extremely complex system of hormones and circadian cycles that might have evolved for obsolete reasons, but you're still bound by it. It might be intellectually interesting to understand why (necessary even) but you're still better off avoiding the urge to "hack it".
We accept ad blockers more readily because it's commonly accepted that ads are a different sort of speech, in an ethical way. It's not somebody telling you something; it's a machine trying to sell you something.
I doubt that the whole batch had some sort of collective epiphany that made them consider "emotional stability" a key metric. The way I read the story they voted impressed by variety of seemingly unrelated things that all made them stand out in very pragmatic ways that tomhoward only much later identified as sharing a root cause in emotional stability.

Speak less than thou knowest,
Lend less than thou owest,

And keep in-a-door,
And thou shalt have more
Than two tens to a score.

Quote: "Recently, I had an idea: what if you had to play Minesweeper against the computer?"

For me that statement means player 2 played by computer. What he actually implemented is not that. Which gave me the idea to actually do that. Same rules as classic one, you click, another human click (or computer player) - loser is the one who reveals a bomb. In case nobody blows up winner is the one who is last to flag correctly a bomb on a guessing situation.

Ideas, constructive criticism is welcome. What you guys say?
This sounds reasonable, but I don't quite understand that last bit. If a civil engineer refuses to sign off on a project, won't the same thing happen? Why won't the job go to the next civil engineer down the line?

That’s a great point but I actually read the article as possibly implying, rather than contradicting, the notion that this is a failure that is bigger than any one engineer.

I read this as: engineering ethics were broken because of a toxic management culture.

There is a common misconception, repeated here, that fractals are defined by their self-similarity. This is not true. Fractals are mathematical objects which have non-integral dimensionalities: that is, they exist in a space somewhere between (n)D space and (n+1)D space for some integer n.[1] The exact Hausdorff dimension, the number quantifying their dimensionality, is not in general the same for each construction. For the Koch curve, the Hausdorff dimension is ln(4)/ln(3) = log_3(4) approximately 1.2619.[2] This is because for each iteration of the curve's construction, the perimeter of the curve grows by a factor of 4 while the area enclosed by the curve only grows by a factor of 3. That makes it fill space faster than a growing 1D line, but slower than a growing 2D surface.

They're also the only place where you get really verbose ads...so you spend all the time reading their bullshit prose before the next tube arrives.

I can only speak to Bangkok, but life in Bangkok will be cheaper, safer, more convenient, the food quality will be higher, medical and dental care will be much higher standards, public transport is better, than in Iowa. I’ve spent less time in Vietnam, but it seems to be hot on the heels of Thailand.
I don't implement anything I can't/don't understand.

I'm a generalist, so I make it my business to know a bit of everyone else's business. If I can't look at a spec without seeing issues down the chain that the spec makes no mention of, I end up feeling that it is my duty to make sure to raise the question until I am satisfied with the answer.

I don't always get the most satisfying answer, and I haven't had to put the career on the line by doing so yet; but I'm prepared to do so nevertheless.

I will not be part of the next THERAC-25/MAX fiasco. And if I've learned anything from this decade, it is that engineers as a whole may need to organize against those that would seek to have us do unethical work.

It wouldn't stop the practice, and God help me, I don't want the field locked behind accreditation/licensure...

However, I don't see any other defense or measure that would allow for putting the kebash on bad work. There has to be a price for bad corporate behavior in terms of ruthlessly pursuing performance that can only be met through wink wink nudge nudge style inducement to unethical behavior. At least, no way besides publically outting a company's dirty laundry. That really isn't satisfying though, because that requires a sacrifice of somebody's integrity every time, and no one wants to touch you after that.

I just can't converge to a satisfying middle-ground with the right incentives. Besides maybe anonymous whistleblowing to an appropriate watchdog agency. Even then though, issues are raised in that you are leaving the regulation up to people who feel insecure reporting something when they have everything to lose.

It is a frustrating issue to say the least.
