One obvious example of this is simply ammo. Military bullets don't expand as much as bullets available to cops or civilians. A military bullet is explicitly not allowed to be an expanding hollow point which really messes you up.

There are all sorts of international agreements on not using certain types of things in war - types of bullets are no exception.

Now I think I understand what they are saying, but it’s not a great explanation either. A new sentence before the ‘or’ would have been helpful.
And so the difference between May and June futures should be constrained by the cost of storing oil for a month (the price of oil for June should be <= may + 1 month storage). Of course, storage facilities take time and money to build and shutdown, so there ends up being supply and demand based fluctuations for the cost of storing oil, and so if we run out of storage space (as happened at the end of April), you can get a huge difference in prices for futures that are a short time apart (which also happened at the end of April).

Indeed, if you use only 48 bits, you could also parallelize using the FP hardware - the mantissa is 52 bits, so if you use 48 bit limbs, you have 16 rounds before carry. Which is much less than 16 (or even 13) bits, but for processors which have distinct FP vs. integer adders, and that can issue them in parallel - you might get a speed boost.

Leaving aside the logistical and gamification reasons why this would be a bad idea – you’d also be creating an incentive structure for people espousing marginally offensive content to actively seek out and engage with more extreme positions? It would result in radicalization, not moderation, even if it worked as intended.
Price controls are the reason no retailer had extra warehouses full of toilet paper and hand sanitizer. They can only make short-term decisions when we don't allow long bets to pay for themselves.
If it was that simple, I would, but the price of the gamble is that you commit fraud, or something awfully close to it, and real people are getting hurt in the wake of this.
I am talking about the potential for injury (as always exists with fires, looting, and the like, here exemplified by the wheelchair-bound woman sprayed with a fire extinguisher), as well as the property damage, which often causes stress and emotional injury.

It's also easy to forget that the people most harmed by looting are usually members of the (original) victims' own communities.
Officially, they only work with Mi Home cloud-crap, but there are Zigbee drivers for interfacing with it.
This is quite nice. How do you plan to evolve it once people get back into offices (if ever) ? I can potentially see teams using it in their slack workflow as an integration. But how do you forsee it evolving outside of perhaps roommates or couples wfh?

One thing I've always been curious about - if a site receives third party content, but also is assigned copyright to that submitted content as part of the T&C of submission, does that make it first party content? I would hope not, as I think the assignation of copyright does not imply the immediate ability for the site to review the content of that submission.
That is much more difficult. Land is not owned by a single entity that's willing to give it up at the right price
The referenced Wired article may be a more appropriate source:

"Inside the NSA’s Secret Tool for Mapping Your Social Network"

https://www.wired.com/story/inside-the-nsas-secret-tool-for-...

Actually the original Predator drone was meant strictly for ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) and didn't carry weapons. It was modified later to carry two Hellfire missiles. There are other far larger drones out there that were designed for carrying weapons from the get go.
An apology is a company's best shot at damage control after a PR disaster. A well crafted one has obvious benefits in that it might win some people back, as can be seen from the people defending Triplebyte in this very thread.

Just because it doesn't work for everybody doesn't make it not worth doing.

FWIW the apology doesn't do jack shit for me.

Qualified immunity only matters for civil suits under 42 USC 1983.

Cops ultimately aren't disciplined because there's no political will. And there's no consequences on the ground because they have more weapons, and importantly ready backup from other cops.

If you were in a gang, and carried a gun, you could indeed arbitrarily force your will on others for some time.
A group of people who are systematically disenfranchised witnessed a visceral oppression committed by the guardians of that system. They are now extremely upset and frustrated and expressing their anger and frustration at a system that for a long time now made snail's pace progress toward equitable treatment of them.

The police largely function as protectors of personal property and relationships of ownership. I mean, look at the very reason that the cops arrested George Floyd; an alleged fake $20 dollar bill. In a time of pandemic 4 police offers showed up to enforce the ownership of capital.

Those guys who the state dispatched to enforce the value of money then ended up killing a guy. Its quite possible that the people who are rioting and protesting feel pretty damn angry at their treatment under capitalism and don't give a damn ownership of resources right now. They might even feel angry about ownership of resources in general. This is their community, and I suspect it's not yours. They get to decide their relationship to owners of resources, not you.

As a cynic it wouldn’t surprise me but are you saying that Egyptologists as group have no interest in determining the truth scientifically? I could see the incentives you describe holding for the current “big dogs” but couldn’t a defector quietly perform the experiment and then gain notoriety and status by presenting the proof to the (presumably) more honest wider archaeological research community?
Because the "armed militia" that "stormed" the statehouse had no designs on doing any harm. It's really that simple. The "protestors" that got some tear gas shot at them went on to burn down some buildings that had nothing to do with this tragedy. You gonna blame them or nah?
A number of years ago there was even a story about someone going undercover at a spamming operation and one key takeaway was that - at least at that place - the boss was very clear internally about actually removing people who tried to unsubscribe.

I cannot vouch for the story but it looked as legit as the average HN story back then so it might be true (or not).

Using the original TeX source for the screen reader is significantly hindered by the fact that TeX isn't a markup-, but a programming language.

TeX is turing-complete by design, making it infinitely extensible, in order to avoid knuth ever having to re-typeset his books. After all if it's a programming language and a new system, problem, style, e.t.c, comes along you can just write a program that deals with it.

But this has horrible effects on render-ability, in order to know what the final document should look like, you need to run it, no way around that, thanks to Rice's theorem.

LaTeX users also generate a lot of their figures with TeX itself, write their own styling or bibliography rules, and write their own custom graphics rendering libraries.

The easiest path is to just give up, render the entire PDF to a 300dpi lossless image, and throw it into an OCR engine.
These things contain a buttload of heuristics to generate structure and meaningful text based on visuals, and since we know that humans explicitly (and often only) care about those in TeX documents...

It's pretty darn sad, because in many ways TeX is holding scientific advances back, by eating its own children.
My guess is that if scientific papers had branched off of plaintext tools like troff, we'd probably publish papers as machine readable semantically annotated knowledge-graphs by now.

The problem then becomes, who decides which tweets to fact-check? If most politicians at the higher levels are liars, singling out a few of them is unfair even if Trump is notorious for it.

Twitter can clearly not fact-check every single tweet on its platform. But what if they did it for every tweet (maybe from a verified account) that X people report for being untruthful? Trump would look bad even if Twitter held everyone to the same standard, and the blue checkmark would come with some responsibility not to lie, so why not?
Thanks for checking in, but it still is contrary to what the House of Representatives founds. Your truth that there was collusion is met with other truths that there were not. Is it twitter's role to decide who is right?
Believe it or not people who don't go to college can have similar experiences as well.

(Maybe you were familiar). The closing is particularly worth taking in:

> Finally, don't be surprised. The current model of total surveillance and permanent storage is not tenable.

> If we keep it up, we'll have our own version of Three Mile Island, some widely-publicized failure that galvanizes popular opinion against the technology.

> At that point people who are angry, mistrustful, and may not understand a thing about computers will regulate your industry into the ground. You'll be left like those poor saps who work in the nuclear plants, who have to fill out a form in triplicate anytime they want to sharpen a pencil.

> You don't want that. Even I don't want that.

> We can have that radiant future but it will require self-control, circumspection, and much more concern for safety that we've been willing to show.

> It's time for us all to take a deep breath and pull off those radium underpants.

I'm not sure it came in the form of a single event (though I can think of some candidates -- the cambridge analytica scandal made a big impression for one), but it's clear to me at this point that the warning was ignored, and our industry has missed the window for self-regulation.
I think that you forgot to mention that https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21018041 was an act done by the US military, and it was not the only one of its kind. I would understand if most USA citizens did not give a shit if it was done by a 3rd party, but it was done by their own military which they fund via their own taxes.
Having gone through the pain of writing code like this in the past, this looks amazing. How are you planning to charge for decimals?

In your code sample, you use from: 'Alice' but list transactions for some kind of complicated balance ID. Where did that ID come from?
It appears to just be a system error and not anything of actual malice.
Really? It is my understanding that in Minnesota the governor did not even have control over the local policing, that was left to local leadership (mayor + police chief). He only took over control today, which was a very rare move. So I am not following how the president has much authority over local police activities. That is why Trump is referencing the National Guard and not an actual police force.
I'm not a lawyer, but no. Section 230 has nothing to do with copyright. It only asks if the content was created by a third party. Licensure doesn't change the creator.

False; Katrina & US border patrol was what officially sparked the call to (publicly) use drones in the US.

CBP has used drones with FAA approval within the US since 2006; which does not included any use prior to 2006 which remains classified.

German Covid tracking app source code: Corona-Warn-App
It's hard to see why union rules would trump criminal procedure - if that were true the cops would really be a law above the law. You'd think the much delayed arrest was so that the suspects had time to scrub social media, get rid of Nazi paraphernalia, get their stories straight, that kind of thing. They can't get their fellow officers in trouble, that's part of their code.
So I'm going through a bunch of these apps/systems and so far, Zettlr looks like it might be suited to what you're already doing. It's fairly minimalistic out of the box, the markdown files are automatically named by the date you write them (your daily notes), there's autocompletion for your links, there's tags, and that's it. There are maybe a few other things, but that's it.

I'm trying out Trilium right now because I was interested in its visual mapping (I'm more of a visual thinker So I've been using Freeplane, a mindmap software, but it's too restrictive with the hierarchies) and while it has nice features, there seems to be too much going on, which I suspect won't stick with me personally.
Given that insulin resistance is strongly correlated with obesity [1], I'm surprised that wasn't a factor they controlled for, especially since the respiratory difficulties associated with obesity seem to be a significant risk factor for death with Covid19 cases.

Obviously a lot of stuff happened long before the live stream started... The fires and thoroughly vandalized infrastructure indicate that. Based on my own experience with the media, I wouldn't be surprised if they only started transmitting the video when the situation started to fit their rhetoric. That's how the media works these days.

Then you still have to get the development environment right, a task so simple it totally isn't a popular usecase for containers (/s), and fix any incompatibilities in the APIs since 2001 and now.

In other words: it's at least as big a pain in the ass as getting the old binary working.
You’re right that there’s no hard constitutional requirement that electors vote for for whoever won the popular vote in their state or district, but there is absolutely a strong cultural expectation that electors act faithfully. Also, it’s illegal in many states for electors to act faithlessly.

I think this is a bit like saying that the UK has no constitution because it’s not written down. It’s technically true, but it comes nowhere close to the actual lived experience of the people in that jurisdiction, who absolutely believe they live in a constitutional society.

> However, I'm half expecting them to ban him about twelve seconds after he leaves office.

At the top management level, they are probably weighing the possibility that he never leaves office (a plausible scenario at this point), and how that scenario affects their bottom line.

They probably don’t want US institutions to dissolve into full-blown autocracy... But on the other hand, if that were to happen, then it would be better for the stock price if they hadn’t burned all bridges with the new leader for life.

You can bet that Zuckerberg is making the same calculus - except that he seems to have chosen a side. Facebook is no longer pretending to care about preventing autocracy. They are betting on the GOP coup succeeding, and are building bridges accordingly.

I think this is the most pressing point of the entire article: "As long as Facebook and other social-media platforms make money by increasing engagement without much regard to the content they algorithmically amplify, it doesn’t matter whether every last employee is an avowed liberal."

This makes me pause before going to a movies (especially when combined with the other 99 downsides). The dialogue there is normal to loud, and the loud parts are so loud it hurts. Do people want it like this?
I am from the area and I agree wholeheartedly that people > property.

But let's be real, we saw a 182 unit multi story low income housing unit burn down to ash (the blaze was enormous). We also saw a police department building burn to ash. Countless local businesses have been completely destroyed by fire. That's a little more than spray paint and tv looting.
There is two approaches we follow. The first approach, which is quite slow, bulk extract the data to S3 and then run our transforms on top of that. If we need high performance, we write a delta streamer that only streams modified records.

Lol.

The protests started peaceful. There were no calls to burn down a police station. The first window shattered was done so by an undercover cop.

The first violent action taken was by the cops. So the people responded in turn.

Nope, I don't blame them. They tried kneeling, so the president got a football player fired. They tried peacefully protesting, the cops showed up armed to the teeth and fired at people with plastic bullets and tear gas. There's a video of a parade of cop cars driving by protestors, the last of which indiscriminately sprayed pepper spray into the crowd.

> Collecting scroll and mouse movements is enough to build a fingerprint on people.

I never thought of this, I do see the potential fingerprinting but I don't think it actually works as currently the mouse position and scroll is tracked only ~200ms, so you just get some random positions, not enough to generate an accurate fingerprint. Plus it would require a lot of data and ML, which I highly doubt would be worth the effort.

Some related info: I don't know if you heard of Hotjar before (probably you did, as their ads are everywhere), but it was on like 25% of alexa top 100 sites and on over 500k sites, and probably all of them just bundle the consent with the other cookies or don't show any information at all. I think the problem is that GDPR mostly referrs to tracking and personal identifiable data, and all those movements, heatmaps and actions are not really enough to identify a person.

My current opinion about this: Although I agree it feels creepy, as I user I don't really care if my actions are tracked on the website I go on, if there's no connection made to my person or to other websites I visited. Also, tracking mouse movement feels more creepy, but tracking all the content that you see and buttons/links that you click on in order to show targeted ads is probably worse. I think the big difference is that once you go to site X, you expect the site to get some information about your usage on their site (what pages you visit, what information was useful for you, where you got stuck on the page) in order to improve your experience and for them to improve conversions, but you don't expect for another 3rd party to get all this info about you and use it for other purposes such as advertising or selling of personal information
Puerto Rico retains exemptions that do not apply to US states, though. They have a special designation because they are not a US State, like Texas or Hawaii. If they want the full benefit of American citizenship, they should apply for statehood -- which they have been given the option to do but refused time and time again.
