That can be fixed by making sunset clauses automatically require a few things:

1. Must be voted on alone. That is, no sneaking it into another bill, or into the budget votes.

2. Each renewal requires a higher percentage of yes votes than the last time until 100% is required. To my recollection, there's never been a time when the Patriot Act received 100% approval.

Is CS education a problem to be solved or is it an art? I think techies get spoiled by how clean mathematics and technical solutions can be. But people are complex and perhaps the only solution is intuition developed over years of experience.

I'm not saying some ways of teaching aren't preferable to others -- obviously, lectures and hands on teaching is better than just throwing high school students a Dennis Ritchie book and telling them to come back in a year. Just that there's no "one size fits all" answer. (Unless I misunderstand what you're asking.)

I'm not. I'm saying that devices whose function is derived from mathematics (algorithms) have the same status as devices that derive their function from physics or chemistry. In either case, "application" doesn't mean some intellectual use but commercial use. The purpose of patents is to protect commercial applications in exchange for sharing the knowledge that led to their creation. The knowledge itself is never protected.

When the lightbulb was patented, everyone was free to learn, study, and disseminate the physical knowledge of how a lightbulb works. What you couldn't do is build one and sell it. Whether mathematics is invented or discovered, the knowledge itself is never protected, but if some non-obvious algorithm has a commercial application, it can be patented so to protect building devices that apply that knowledge for commercial use.
China Just Admitted Coronavirus Death Toll In Wuhan Was 50% Higher Than Reported

https://www.forbes.com/sites/isabeltogoh/2020/04/17/china-ju...

Wuhan, the Chinese city where the coronavirus outbreak began in late 2019, has revised its coronavirus death toll by 50%, admitting a further 1,290 people have died after contracting the virus, but China denies that it covered up the figures.

It was probably a decimal error and human error.

It still depends on how expensive it is to get the fuel. It could be essentially free to go fuel => electricity + CO2 + water but that's no good if getting fuel is expensive.

Unless you include the price of obtaining fuel in that transformation arrow, but then the observation boils down to if extracting fuel is cheaper than synthesizing it then synthesizing it isn't financially viable.

Sorry, no I didn't look at your background at all. My comment was basically reflexive because people are constantly trying to skip the middle steps of getting the attention of super high profile people when I see those incremental steps as the only reason the system can continue to function. But there also has to be ways of escaping the system when very good or novel ideas come around. Like maybe yours.

"Zoombombing" is a thing because the ID space is ridiculously small. It's 8 digits! Just pump it up to UUID size and encode it as Crockford Base32 + checksum.

Basically every major budgeting app I've looked at doesn't allow rolling buckets of money. For example, my wife and I budget $X per month for travel, but we only travel once or twice a year. What I'd really like to be able to do is allocate some amount every month to certain activities and have my budget keep track of how much I've saved for that purpose.

On the other side, sometimes it's hard for us to reconcile our food budget between months. If we have a big grocery trip on the last day of the month, we kind of expect to spend less the next month but won't always remember that when we go reconcile our budget.

> look, i love CSS. Not dumping on it. but you have a bit of stockholme syndrome going on here. sometimes loving something means realistically looking at its flaws and limitations.

I find that very hard to believe, sorry. And I could write a whole book about the flaws and limitations of CSS, and then another about its elegant power and gradual evolution over
the years, but you most likely wont want to read it. You are stuck in 2002, completly fixated about the origins or the languange and what it was meant or not meant to do 20 years
ago.

> and you seem to have a distorted view of history, and what a “stylesheet” is.

Right now, I am honestly not interested in the semantic meaning of the word "stylesheet" or its etymology, or the history of computing and printing. Am here to discuss CSS.

> from the start, browsers didn’t have a css engine. css was added later, and has never fully exposed every piece of the browser display engine.

Is this not obvious? A browser is made of three main engines JS, CSS and HTML. Being a GUI, all parts will influence the GUI. That does not change the fact that the CSS engines
domain is what you see. The JS domain is interactivity (what you do with what you see) while HTML is about data and structure.

> some of the browsers needed to be rewritten from scratch for this to even be possible.

Can you name even one thing in computing that's over 20 years and has not changed or evolved? If your problem with CSS is that browsers had to be rewritten 20 years ago to
evolve with the language, then that problem applies to every other successful language and GUI framework or system under the sun.

> website author should focus only on writing plain semantic documents. they have only been added grudgingly, and after the forced removal of the people who were blocking it.

Semantic documents are under the domain of HTML. This has nothing to do with CSS.

I don't think this is a stupid question. Deciding when to tell others you are pregnant is a very difficult decision. If you tell others early, it may factor into their decisions on what to include you in. If you tell others late, they may be frustrated that they weren't told earlier, and again factor that into their decisions on what to include you in. People have different expectations on when is the right time to know, and react in very different ways. It is a dilemma with no clear answer because of how varied people's expectations and reactions are.

Ask HN: What is the worst login experience you had on the Web?
I love Trello, and manage a lot of small personal projects on it. I pretty much never log out.

Now, as everyone on HN knows, Trello was bought by Atlassian not so long ago (2017?). So now the auth process is handled by Atlassian (makes sense I guess).

Recently, due to a browser cookies' spring cleaning, I had to log in to Trello again. The whole experience felt sluggish and poorly designed.

In short:
I went to "trello.com/<project_id>", and saw a short, classic login form:
"Log in to Trello:
Enter email
Enter password
Log in"

Sweet. BUT: after inputing my email, the bottom half switched to "Login with Atlasssian" (thanks, AJAX). I reluctantly clicked, and was unsurprisingly redirected to "https://id.atlassian.com/login".

Ok, fine, I'll input my password. I click, and the screen goes blank for 5 secs. Only the "Please wait..." on the top left part of the screen convinces me that something is gonna happen somehow. trello.com?
No, I was redirected to "https://auth.atlassian.com/login", which showed a page for some reason, but redirected me automatically 3 seconds later to trello.com.

Thinking that this was a tech company logging a user made me think of the horror stories that probably exist with banks, governments, etc.

So, what's your experience with a very bad, poorly designed login experience?
Are you sure? I had read elsewhere that it always goes through the battery, and a sibling comment says there is insufficient power from the charger alone (not really sure how that's possible either though).

Very small numbers of photons (1) are required to trigger rhodopsin cycle. So primary receptor itself is very very VERY sensitive.
Hah, classic. But in all seriousness I think its a pretty interesting issue. A lot of the ML and data science sees people coming in who do not have formal computer science and software development backgrounds. We build tools and methodologies around abstracting away some of the code development process and hope that it lands us in an environment that's easy to share with others. This is unfortunately rarely the case.

Its a problem that as an industry I think we are in the middle of "solving" (probably can't be solved fully, but things are getting better). I'm really excited to see what kinds of tools and tests will be developed around getting ML projects with some better practices.
I grow a few things in a (relatively small) suburban garden in London. My experience so far with fruit normally associated with warmer climates:

Grapes - grow very well outside, lots of tasty fruit, sensitive to mildew

Figs - grow well outside, fast, but not much fruit yet

Citrus (lemon, lime and kafir lime) - Any frost is damaging, can only grow in pots and bring in during winter. Grows slowly and doesn't produce much fruit

Olives - grow very well outside, don't produce much fruit

Stauntonia - grow very well outside, no fruit so far

Hardy kiwi - grows well outside, produces some fruit

Normal kiwi - grow very slowly, no fruit, sensitive to frost

I would like to try pomegranates, I've seen some people grow them in London

The best croppers in my garden by far are non-tropical fruit - cherry and apple trees.

I think polytunnels (maybe with some kind of light transmitting insulation) and geothermal heating would be the way to go these days in northern climates if trying to grow cold sensitive fruit in larger amounts.
Dunno why (probably dataset) but open source Speech Recognition models are performing very poorly on real world data compared to google speech to text or azure cognitive.

>I've long stopped believing in free will because everything points at it being an illusion of our brain because we're a product of this world and we had no chance of influencing the conditions which brought us to life

Free will doesn't depend on the universe being deterministic or not. Things that haven't happened yet are likely going to happen in a certain way based on the trajectory, but it doesn't mean that you can't change your own path in a meaningful way, you're free to take a harder path vs. an easier or more obvious one.
The question assumes that there is a difference between invention and discovery. There isn't. Invention is a kind of discovery. The apparent distinction arises from our separation of physical and mental processes. But this is a purely artificial separation, a human conceit, because (unless you're a dualist) mental processes are physical processes. Specifically, mental processes are computational processes, which are physical. So it's not surprising that the structure of the physical world should be reflected back on itself in the structure of mental processes. It's universal Turing machines all the way down.

Before the 1970s, when overall productivity went up, the individual contributors has a much bigger contribution to the productivity improvements. Even with the improved tooling, you still needed people with the skills to take advantage of the improved tooling, so workers back then still had the ability to claim a portion of the increased productivity.

As the tooling and automation got better, the skills contributed by the worker have been responsible for less and less of the productivity gains to the point where the worker is contributing almost none of the productivity gains.

From the perspective of improving the lot of ordinary workers, "beyond the firm whose productivity improved" does matter. You can still make it to the middle class life today, but you do so by taking those jobs that help improve productivity like being a software engineer. I'm middle class myself. I got there by contributing to productivity gains.

Make no mistake, even prior to the 1970s, there were plenty of jobs that would not have gotten someone into the middle class life. Those jobs that didn't get you a middle life back then have a lot in common with those that won't get you a middle class life today in terms of the amount of skills and effort required.

I only chose teams to put on the website that really use it regularly. We have a bunch more logos of the type others here describe that I could have chosen but that's dumb.

Two teams at Slack currently use Grain.

Here's Dustin from Lambda School (not one of the logos):
https://twitter.com/dustint314/status/1250948975202426880

But the actual answer to your question of how is that it took a long time to build something they wanted to use. We've been building a version of Grain for about 15 months now, about 6 months on the product we just released and 9 months on a version we threw away.

Eventually we built up word or mouth of happy users that refer other teams. It's a grind to get real teams to adopt anything but it is possible with continued effort.
