The background-check-for-ammo law is a constitutional disaster. There was recently an injunction against the AG enforcing it, but the ninth stayed the lower court's order.

I read the decision granting the injunction, and wow. The ID requirements are even higher than for buying a gun -- you need certain kinds of ID that proves that you are a citizen (passports can take a long time to get, and some people have complications with their birth certificate). For those who were able to provide such an ID, the background check falsely rejected 16% of applicants, amounting to over 100K people.

I really think that people would be more willing to compromise if they felt that their rights were respected. But what a lot of people don't realize is how outright hostile these gun control laws are. They are meant to penalize and annoy gun owners, not provide safety.

Another example is the handgun roster in California, where you can only buy certain models that were approved before 2013. They aren't safer, they just made the new standards infeasible to meet, so no more models are approved. This doesn't help anyone, unless you think annoying gun owners is a worthwhile goal.
> the epicenter

The post I responded to specifically said initial epicenter. The post claimed that it was "disingenuous" to include NYC in statistics because, since they were the "initial epicenter", they basically didn't have any warning. Since NYC was not the "initial epicenter", this claim is false; they did have warning and it is perfectly fair to include them in statistics.
frankly that's true of any silicon valley giant at this point.
This is way more nuanced then your argument and all 9 Supreme Court justices would agree to this. For example fire hazard laws apply to churches even though it would seem to be in violation of your quote. Say you have to argue how this is related to relevant law, and why the church would be irreparably harmed by waiting until the case comes up later presumably this year.
Based on this reply I now can't tell if you agree with me or not.

Right, there is also difference between short-term value and long-term value.
Good article, I hadn't heard of scenius before.

I wonder if it is harder, not easier, on the internet for scenius (of any great magnitude) to form. A related article by Packy says the main blocker to scenius forming on the internet is a common goal strong enough to unite people, but I think this leaves something out: the root of a group embodying scenius seems to be strongly held common values, like those expressed by the initiation ritual of Ben Franklin's Junto, WITH some buffer space for free thinking ("local tolerance for the novelties"). This does not necessarily imply a lack of diversity of thought, just a common foundation, with some space to maneuver without excessive judgement and indignation.

The issue is it is almost politically taboo to demand common values for membership in a group these days, especially if those values are opposed to some mainstream values. It is easy for non-mainstream groups to be discovered and 'cancelled' by reactionary, opposing groups (usually people embodying ressentiment). How do you go about finding people who really share your values and are willing to organize around some common cause as is required for scenius? Second, how do you protect such groups from being destroyed by opposing groups? The more discoverable a group is on the internet, the more direct opposition there will be to it.

> Are you advocating gun stores have to remain open for the right of the people to own a gun?

How am I supposed to bear arms if I can't obtain arms? I think it's fairly reasonable to close gun shops if all other stores are closed, but there's no reason not to allow gun shops to open under the same terms as other shops. Maybe pickup / curbside only, maybe strict simultaneous customer limits, whatever.

> Why would anybody need a gun right now while their biggest life treat is a virus?

I personally don't think more guns help to deescalate situations, but there's like a lot of unrest, and some people think guns can be used to protect themselves from rioters, riot police, instigators, or some combination of the three.
> And as a last remark, the combinatoric complexity of compiler flags is a problem and needs to be fixed. But the ecosystem is in a deadlock there that no compromise could be found on what should be in the language and what shouldn't be. And it kind of indicates a deeper problem in the haskell design process.

Are you referring to language extensions? This is sooooo off-base if so.

I don't see how people can bemoan Haskell's complexity but love a language like Kotlin which has its hodgepodge of function call semantics. Talk about complexity without any sane ground. It's so hacked together. At least with Haskell everything is very simple in isolation and composes for the most part.

Also re:examples.. I'd say Haskell libraries have better examples than the average Go library for instance. Many have entire modules whose entire existence is for putting examples & tutorials in the haddocks themselves.

The Cessna 208 Caravan has an empty weight of 2,145 kg. The article states the battery is roughly 1 tonne (1,000 kg). One could assume the electrified version is slightly lighter, sans batteries, empty due to the lack of need for a lot of the gas related items.

So if the plane is now somewhere in the range of 3,000 kg at takeoff, clearly shedding up to 30% of the planes weight would allow it to fly quite a bit farther. That's one of the advantages of gas, as you burn it, you get lighter, you get more fuel efficient.
"done right" is rather subjective. It would be better if mods can suggest a better title.
The gap is that Apple fully verified identity via the normal OAuth flow, and then once identiy was verified they give the use control over what email to include in the token. The idea is that the user can include their email or an apple relay email (that forwards to their email). The bug seems to be in that step, and an attacker can provide an email that is neither their own nor an apple relay email.

Your apple account is safe, but if a 3rd party trusts the signed apple payload without further verification of email, an attacker could sign in as you on the 3rd party app.

It’s not either/or expiration vs revocation; they are the same thing. Expiration is natural revocation and a ceiling function to the overall cost.

The statement “when a CA’s root certificate expires, it creates a new one” is not a general statement. That’s the exception, rather than the rule, as evidenced by just watching the changes to root stores over the past 30 years. More CAs have left the CA business / folded / been acquired than have carried on. A classic example of this is the AOL root, for which the long-standing scuttlebutt is that no one knows what happened to the key after AOL exited the CA business. The reason it’s scuttlebutt, as opposed to being a Sky is falling DigiNotar, is that the certificate expired. Or, for that matter, look at how many CAs have been distrusted. Expiration fits as a natural bound for legacy software that doesn’t receive updates, failing-secure rather than failing insecurely.
Vitamix blenders seem to be the real deal. I have one that's seen nearly daily use for about 15 years and is still going strong. I have tripped it's overheat sensor on some things (e.g. hummus), but it just shuts down and forces you to wait for it to cool instead of burning out.
Are we going to experience the same bug next year for all LetsEncrypt certificates when the DST Root CA X3 expires? I guess modern devices could deal with LetsEncrypt issuing directly from their own modern ISRG Root X1, but would that leave legacy clients completely stranded (iOS <10, older versions of Windows and Android...?)

> If Covid-19 rules restrict religious practices more than some commercial activities I think we have a problem.

Oh come on. It's OK to pick and choose which activities are more important than a health rule -- a doctor or a plumber clearly should be permitted to perform some necessary activities or life would be at greater risk. And the law parses apart the cases: you can get respiratory care or chemotherapy but not plastic surgery. The plumber can fix a backed up sewer pipe but (for a while) not do new construction, etc.

Perhaps your note was accidentally misworded. If they restrict religious practices that are physically identical to commercial activities that are not restricted then we would have a problem. If concerts were allowed but not churches that would be a problem. If outdoor concerts were allowed but not indoor ones, then outdoor religious congregation should be allowed even if indoor equivalent is not. Etc.

But nobody, including the plaintiffs, is making that assertion.
Programming Pearls is short and very good.
True, I was thinking the same after I posted. Maybe I’m thinking more of Apache’s approach and how it gets some of the benefits of a fork-per-request server without the overhead.
It get even more exciting when you consider that $110M is the cost to NASA. The cost to SpaceX could quickly reach an order of magnitude lower as it becomes more frequent and reused. As a bonus, the increased profits pay for the next ship, dropping costs even further.
I just skimmed https://guide.elm-lang.org/architecture/buttons.html .

Yeah there is nothing new there (and MVI on Android having been heavily influenced by what's going on on other platforms is readily acknowledged).

It is newish (it has been there for several years now) as far as "trendy" Android architecture patterns go.

We started with a bad implementation of MVC for several reasons :

- what Google ended with (which does not look like it fits what they initially intended, but I digress) with its god Activities has encouraged the community to go in that direction.

- when Android was first released, the smartphones of the time were heavily CPU and memory constrained. The way applications were built was to best fit these constraints (sometimes in naive ways).

And again, I am not advocating for all problems to use MVI or that it is the one architecture to rule them all. Just something interesting that was very likely not in gp mind 7 years ago.

Are you sure they're using contact tracing _apps_? The original tweet says:

> Minnesota Public Safety Commissioner John Harrington says they've begun contact tracing arrestees.

> "Who are they associated with? What platforms are they advocating for? ... Is this organized crime? ... We are in the process right now of building that information network."

I interpreted that to mean ordinary detective work. I don't see any indication that they're using data from COVID-19 contact tracing apps on arrestees' smartphones, which is what the Hacker News title seems to imply.
You are forgetting Matthew 18, 19-20:

"Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them."

There is also the idea of Communion, which is a religious gathering instituted by Jesus himself, in Luke 22. Paul also exhorts believers not to "forsake the assembling of themselves" in Hebrews 10.

Communal gathering as a church is actually a religious doctrine. The details of how one should do so is really a thorny issue, and the state saying "only so many may do so" is perilously close to breaching separation. It has nothing to do with praying loud to appear religious in public to get praise from men.
Crew Dragon carries 3 klbs, or 1.4 tons of hypergols. It doesn't just use those tanks for RCS, but also for the abort system. Also, Crew Dragon is closer to 14 tons at landing.
In most planes, pilots are already able to chose their propeller RPM somewhat independently of torque by varying the pitch of the propeller. However, pilots typically optimize for rate of climb and not noise in order to get out of the low altitude / low airspeed danger zone as quickly as possible.
First of all, a religious text is not relevant in us court case, even if about a religious case.

Secondly, Christianity as practiced today is very different and not something Jesus would have understood at all so in many ways the Bible and Jesus is not key to understanding American Christianity.

I created Mathlore to help students, researchers, and hobbyists learn, explore, and discover mathematics by creating a place where they can collect math knowledge (either in a public collection or their own private collection) and easily discover it later when they need it.

This post is an update to post https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22290812. I listened to your great feedback, and I improved the site. Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it.

New Features:

* Added the ability to have your own private collection of math knowledge.

* Repositioned the site as knowledge base where you can manually keep track of and store math knowledge either in the public collection or your own private collection. The original site made it seem like Mathlore was a math search engine.

* Added the ability to contribute to the public collection without needing to create an account.

* Added the ability to record and search for math resources such as books, articles, and online resources.

* Added the ability to record not only theorems, definitions, axioms, and conjectures but also record notes, exercises, and problems.

* Added a better landing page to describe how Mathlore can be used.

* Improved the look and feel of the site to make it easier to use.

* Added the ability to comment on items in the collection.

* Added the ability to search and tag information by topic. This is useful for looking tagging and searching for results in a particular area of mathematics.

* A tag can be anything you want and so in your private collection, you can use tagging of knowledge to mark things as hard, or interesting, or "On the final exam", or anything you like.

* Add the ability to export or delete your entire private collection with a click of a button.

* Fixed many rendering issues.
It's probably longer than required for passenger flights. The Caravan is 9-13 passengers (depending), plus a little baggage. Wouldn't be hard to unload/load 10 people in less than 30 mn. However the question is how many small commuter airlines are operating a flight with repeated as-fast-as-possible turn around?

Cargo configuration, certainly seems like you could charge it faster than a load/unload.

The thing about fast turn around's is that planes only make money when flying. However a big part of flying is the expense of fuel. So if you can make your hour flight in $12 of electricity, that brings the cost way down. That offsets the cost of sitting on the ground for an extra X minutes.

Also gotta take into account the electric versions reduced need and cost of maintenance. So there is reduced aircraft downtime for less maintenance, and it costs less each time. Overall, that probably greatly increases the time available to fly and therefor the profit potential for the plane.

You still can't launch a rocket on US soil without a permit from the FAA, and for launches from outside of the US, I'm pretty sure that SpaceX's rocket technology is quite export controlled. But yes, it's now a bit more independent from Congress's financial mood.
How much caselaw would there be on comparison of churches to other venues where people gather?

What sort of disputes in the past would have revolved around the similarities or differences? Perhaps disputes about zoning or occupancy permits? You don't see a whole lot of that kind of dispute rising through the courts to make a lot of case law.
Get regular Skype lessons with Kegan from https://www.bohemianvocalstudio.com. He also has YouTube videos up so you can get a taste for what he focuses on first. Don't worry if he doesn't sing in the exact style you want, because it's all about foundational principles. It's life-changing stuff.

If that won't work for you and you're set on in-person lessons, try to find someone who was never a natural singer, and had to learn everything from scratch. They'll be able to pass on more than someone who started with a basic natural ability.
Unfortunately the real limitation here is still weight. You can get excellent torque and incredible reliability from electric motors vs. gas powered engines but the biggest difference is that as you fly longer the plane gets lighter with a gas powered plane. With an electric plane you're always at full weight and that limits your flexibility.

Worse, batteries are still very, very heavy compared to the energy they store. I suspect that as battery technology improves we'll see a drastic shift toward electric planes being more appealing.

For GA aircraft they'd be amazing. Excellent power, significantly higher reliability, much lower maintenance costs, and much lower cabin noise. But at the weights listed, I can't imagine a Cessna 182 going electric anytime soon.
Yeah I looked at that Pacifica hybrid. Sadly the all-electric range is too small for our use case.

Didn’t know about the Sienna. That could be interesting. From what I understand the Toyotas are fairly hackable to turn them into plugin hybrids.

There is nothing unique to Rust about this; it is a very old technique. It is usually much inferior to the "arena allocator" method, where all the discarded allocations are coalesced and released in a single, cheap operation that could as well be done without another thread. That method is practical in many languages, Rust possibly included. C++ supports it in the Standard Library, for all the standard containers.

If important work must be done in the destructors, it is still better to farm the work out to a thread pool, rather than starting another thread. Again, C++ supports this in its Standard Library, as I think Rust does too.

One could suggest that the only reason to present the idea in Rust is the cynical one that Rust articles get free upvotes on HN.
Yes, there were likely other costs, but from NASA's perspective, their costs were way lower. For example, for their first investment of $396M in commercial cargo deliveries to the ISS with SpaceX, they got the development of the Cargo Dragon, the Falcon 9, and the KSC launch site.

Out of curiosity, does anyone know how selection sort would compare to bubble sort and insertion sort in this kind of problem?

Someone could go to a church meeting in one state and get the virus and then give it to someone else who gives it to someone else who gives it to me. x1000. That is selfish. They aren’t giving a single thought for the potential ramifications of their actions on people they’ve never met. Acting in such a way that potentially many people could die, when all you would have had to do was stay home, is the very definition of selfishness.
