People seem to assume that countries end their laws at their borders. This is not true and never has been. Plenty of people have been convicted of piracy (piracy with ships I mean, not stealing copyrights) which happens almost exclusively in international waters. The specific act banning piracy in UK law even says requires the acts happen "in a place outside the jurisdiction of any State".

Here in the UK, we have a specific list of crimes that can be prosecuted even if they happen literally anywhere. The list includes serious crimes like murder but also FGM and stalking which would be legal in many states[0].

The US actually arrested and charged a Huawei executive recently for breaking US sanctions while in China. "I was in China" was not a valid defense. Canada actually extradited her.

Similarly, a jury "of your peers" literally only means that if you are a commoner, a commoner jury but if you are a Lord, a jury of other Lords (even this has now been abolished I believe). You have no right to a jury from your own town or with similar life experiences.

A murderous astronaut could not reply on either of these legal arguments to escape prosecution either in the US or anywhere with an English common law tradition.

No, I wouldn’t say this is modern consistent dietary advice. So many people that make it there business to talk about diet are hyping intermittent fasting now.
Eric Lippert did a nice blog post on this sort of thing a few months ago: https://ericlippert.com/2020/03/27/new-grad-vs-senior-dev/

The other points he mentions, beyond constant factors, are that algorithms with great theoretical characteristics tend to interact really poorly with gross real-world considerations like the memory hierarchy, and that worst-case performance is not average-case performance.
I'm not surprised by this. The European Commission's original decision was based on a technicality related to the fact that Apple did not use the "classic" double-Irish arrangement when setting up their companies in Ireland, but instead used two branches of the same company. If Apple had set up the double-Irish with two separate companies (like most other multinationals), there would have been no question that what they were doing was perfectly allowed under Irish and EU law.

I was always skeptical that this decision would stand up under appeal, since the argument that they received a special benefit from these tax rulings (relative to other multinationals) never made much sense. They were actually worse off under this arrangement than they would have been if they had just done the proper double-Irish in the first place, like Google and Microsoft and everyone else.
You technically can but it requires pretty fantastic conditions as prerequisites right now. Theoretically if it was known that obeying lead to better outcomes than anything you could do on your own people would follow them without coercion.

Actually being that right on their own would be difficult for the same reasons it would for a command economy period, and proving it enough to gain followers would be difficult but it would be possible.

Give a reliable "crystal ball" and predictions always being clear and right where those that obey see outcomes accordingly the sensible would start to follow the commands without any force behind it. There is no need to use force to punish jumping off of a cliff essentially.

It implies the reason it depends upon authoritarianism is because as a model it cannot compete.
Non-invasive means that the means/method of testing effectively has zero potential of harm (although receiving the results could be a huge blow).

While nasal swabs are extremely low risk, they still are a test that people may try to avoid out of fear of medical procedures.
Deep fakes are going to start becoming part of our news, our entertainment, and our justice systems. "Fake news" a few years ago was just cherry picked data and skewed graphs, now the probability of any piece of media being completely fabricated is within a range to consciously consider.

Nice site. The critique of aggressive content suggestion is old. Same as with alcohol, everyone knows that it is probably a bad idea before drinking it anyway.
This article is hurting its credibility right from the get-go by un-critically reproducing yet again this tired saw from Max Howell:

> Google: 90% of our engineers use the software you wrote (Homebrew), but you can’t invert a binary tree on a whiteboard so fuck off.

First, it's not remotely true that 90% of Google engineers use Homebrew, seeing as how almost all development is done on Linux (Max Howell is unjustifiably full of himself here). And secondly, he doesn't know why he wasn't hired, but it may well be because of the entitled attitude on display here rather than any coding shortcomings. No one wants to work with pompous rockstars. They may be fine for developing one-person projects out in the wild but they don't work well on team projects at large companies.

If you go into an interview with the attitude that the problems you're being asked to solve are beneath you and that you just flat-out deserve the job without having to prove yourself, your success rate is gonna be poor. To a big corporation, almost no one is as big of a deal as they might think they are, unless they hold a Turing Award or similar.

> how have hotels managed to get by since time immemorial without charging one!?

Because I suppose hotels have to actually clean their rooms well, so the housekeeping expense is probably a significant fraction of the daily charge. But Airbnbs definition of cleaning is at best changing the sheets (if you're lucky) and make sure that there are no streaks in the toilet. So they charge a pittance and get away with it.
I have a bind (3+n) to open notes.md file in Sublime Text I can drop things into. Although I don't use it much as often I can write notes directly under some topic in my wiki. It usually fits under some of the 840+ topics I have

https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/knowledge/blob/master/SUMM...

On mobile, I take quick notes with Telegram's Saved Messages.

This kind of question has been asked many times before on HN and elsewhere. Here are some links I collected around note/wiki management.

https://wiki.nikitavoloboev.xyz/other/wiki-workflow#links

Oh and for effortless sharing of notes, I use my tool gitupdate to automatically push changes made to my folder of notes. i.e. here is a commit where I add this very thread to my wiki under `wiki-workflow.md` topic. To do it, I pressed two buttons (`+v) (https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/dotfiles/blob/194d8453b2af...) which runs a KM macro (https://i.imgur.com/fmXgUYv.png).

I'm also not convinced; the fake is convincing enough for most people, also given it's unlikely a picture like that will ever be displayed at more than 100px large.
What do you think is unconvincing about them and in what way do you believe that expertise in Photoshop has any relation to this technology?

At best Photoshop can play a role in covering tracks of evidence or artifacts of this much more sophisticated approach to faking identifies.

It’s not to say the developers and scientists at Adobe are lesser, it’s that it’s not the same tool or problem that’s being solved.

Put crudely Photoshop can let you draw a mustache on someone’s photo. This is about inventing a photo that never existed before.
Smalltalk and Common Lisp are both image-based programming languages where the compiler and debugger are always available. I think debugger-oriented programming is much more common in Smalltalk than in Lisp (at least I prefer to leave the debugger back to REPL pretty often), but I think it's certainly possible to adopt. The Slime/Sly environments for emacs might accept a few patches to facilitate that programming style better.
I'm positive this photo is computer generated. Those GAN "photos" all have a certain look: the background contains no concrete objects, even out of focus ones, but are usually not a solid color backdrop. It's usually something that looks like a normal background until you look closer, and realize it doesn't make sense. There are also problems with the details of this face, if you look closely enough. This one's rightmost tooth has an odd blurred boundary with the one next to it. The shirt also look odd.
I’m not sure if you’re intentionally missing my point or if I’m ineffective at communicating it.

I’m saying that services that are like GitHub are ubiquitous because they save time, easily 5hrs a week- and creating them anew would cost more than those services do if you buy them as a user (gitlab enterprise or github “pro”)

You can argue the minutia of “this service” vs “that service” but at the end of the day those suite of things save time.
Unless you are a health care worker where you are around people that are known positive, this is extremely excessive.

In most places except Florida, Texas and California, the probability of running into someone with covid-19 is low. Unless someone coughs in the vicinity around you, the probability of getting it is even lower.

If you’re really concerned, sanitize your hands and phone when you come into the house with hand sanitizer. Leave a bottle outside if you want.

Then take off all your clothes and put it in the dryer. The dryer at 70C is hot enough to kill the virus to undetectable levels in less than 5 mins.

You don’t need to take a shower, just sanitize your hands. If you’re concerned about your hair, wear a baseball cap and put that in the dryer with the rest of your clothes.
This is actually not the case in the UK. If you put in dates, then it will add the fees then average them over the days and show you a day price which includes the fees. Though as others have commented, this may well be EU-specific.

>Non-nullability requires generics for a result type which is a huge source of complexity. Generics impact parsing, code gen and runtime efficiency.

The C# 8.0 approach to non-nullability doesn't require generics at all (though C# already has a robust generic system). They just made reference types work the same as value types, add a ? if you want it nullable, otherwise it isn't.

I think Rust's way of doing it with Option is probably a better way, but C#'s way of doing it is definitely more accessible to the average programmer.

I am not sure this is a new frontier at all. This is a case of no one being who they say they are on the internet. Frankly, given the mood in US these days, it seems wise not to share your opinion too openly ( or leave your contact information ).

Since it is not deepfake ( it may very well be an enhanced pic for all we know ), question becomes what is the purpose behind this author's post. Did they just learn about deepfakes and wanted to capitalize on it? Did they want to propagate a specific point ( and if so, which one )?

I miss the days I took articles at face value ( ignorance is bliss ). Now, I can't help myself and analyze former bastions like reuters. It is sad to me.
There is no such thing as an ideal CO2 level. Life in general, and humans in particular, can exist in a world of far more or far less CO2.

The problem is our modern, industrial civilization is built on the assumptions that future world is very much like the current world. Everything from houses to cities to nations are built around these long-term assumptions. The danger of climate change is that we erode the very foundations we've built our civilization on. The danger is not some arbitrary level, it is the rapid change to that level.
Suddenly, the idea that if the US backdoors its own encryption services then everyone will move to services hosted elsewhere is starting to look very realistic.

How about creating rules?

A talks to B
B blocks A
A registers as C
*not too much time passes*
C talks to B

At this point C is considered to be a harasser and therefore it will be hidden for B. B can of course lift the ban if it's just a false positive.
To further specify who's who in this graph, the logic can find the smallest time between ban and the creation of a new user with the same behavior (writes to B) as the reported one.

I think this is way more easier than handling those who abuse the actual service you're selling.

I'm not sure I would volunteer myself because, really, what information is the test going to give you? If you test negative, the instructions are still to self isolate (and rightly so, obviously). If you test positive, there's no treatment that will help you unless and until you get severely ill. I would be tempted to just refuse the test, assume I am potentially infected and self isolate for 2-4 weeks. It might be useful to get an antibody test after the isolation period, but that's a different matter altogether.

Obviously, the situation is different if for some reason you really cannot self isolate properly. In that case you would still need repeated tests to be reasonably sure and I'm not sure they offer those.

EDIT: my position assumes you don't require a test for contact tracing reasons. If I am contacted by anyone doing contact tracing and they ask me to get tested, I will follow their instructions. That said, if I'm going into isolation after an exposure event, I would notify everyone I've met since that event regardless of any testing.
I second this, as an American. “What’s up”, “hey”, or “yo” (or some combination of the above like “yo, what’s up?”) are all extremely ubiquitous and way more common than more standard greetings like “hi” or “hello”, I
in my experience.
> Give'em $1000 and they wont refuse

Alternatively: free test + healthcare if you test positive;
stiff fines + liable to be sued by contacts for damages if you refuse testing and later (in the next 3 weeks) turn out to be infected.

The problem is, "cancel culture" has come to mean two very different things: Punishing, even firing, people because of relatively innocent statements or actions misinterpreted, taken out of context, or blown out of proportion; and ostracizing or shunning people, primarily public figures, for revealing their bigotry and hateful beliefs.

The former seems to be what you're describing, and is, IMO, caused by people with little power in a world they feel is spinning out of control trying to exercise control over the spaces they do have power over. It's definitely a problem, and is definitely counterproductive to efforts to improve the inclusivity and compassion of our society.

The latter is, as some people have described, simply speech having consequences, and those consequences being upsetting to people who are used to being treated as authorities.
Yes, it's probably a better idea to improve WASM than add a proprietary format (TS is by Microsoft) to the open browsers. Google tried to do the same thing with Dart and it was decried about a decade ago, so now they use it for Flutter.
Most interviews (in any field) are broken because they mostly reduce to gut feel of the interviewer. No matter how much we think our intuition is sanctimonious, it is not. It does not matter what your IQ is or how successful you are in the field, your intuition is useless (or lets say will be very biased). Intuition works in very few places with specific conditions (Like chess). Daniel Kahneman, Nobel laureate, writes about all this(based on his research) in his book "Thinking, fast and slow"

There are going to be a lot of people who share that hope, given the rapidly shifting window of permissible thought and deed - combined with technology's unblinking eye.

If you cut out cookies, cake, pretzels, chips, and virtually all other junk food of course you will lose weight. IMHO, the keto folks are missing the actual cause here. You're not losing weight because you eat your burger without a bun. It's because you don't eat a pile of fries.
Fair enough, but unfortunately Airbus did not extend that concept to the fault 'system' in the A380. When a Trent 900 engine in Qantas flight 32 exploded and cut through the control lines the pilots were overwhelmed by the amount of error data to the extent that they had considerable difficulty in interpreting the data. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qantas_Flight_32

In this emergency, it's clear the fault indicators (and the data they supplied) were not fit for purpose. If you get a chance it is worth watching the documentary where the cabin crew discuss the problem.

It seems to me that there were other problems too with insufficient redundancy built into the control of the aircraft's ailerons (insufficient resiliency in a critical system) but that's off-topic here.
I also think I could improve a lot in this regard, asking sooner is my problem and I'm working on solving it, but it is a slow and long process.

It's also quite possible there is no such thing as "true" randomness. If one of the deterministic interpretations of quantum mechanics is correct and there's no other source of randomness in the laws of physics, then TRNGs are just looking at the output of chaotic systems, just like PRNGs are.

Random.org's atmospheric noise source isn't even quantum-mechanical, it's classical deterministic chaos. It's a PRNG with an enormous state.
> Housing costs are not up because of Airbnb

I think they are partially. In London, rents have decreased 25%-50% since COVID. Part of that will be reduced demand. But I have also seen a lot of rooms advertised for long-term rental that were previously Airbnbs.

We could certainly ameliorate this by building more houses. But here in the UK we're a lot more limited by available land space than you are in the US. And while there is limited supply it makes sense to prioritise making primary dwellings affordable over profit making for landlords.
> The US had also emerged as pretty much the only unbombed industrial country after a global war, giving it a significant advantage

Ding-ding-ding - you hit the nail on the head! The US' competitive advantage and special position in the world, including all those fortune 500 companies, doesn't come from its special adherence to laissez-faire capitalism, it comes from other historic advantages. The supply-side trickle-down cult didn't start until the 70's and incidentally real median purchasing power in the US has been in decline ever since.
