For sure, there are exceptions. A friend of mine is in one of those old SoHo buildings that was converted to luxury apartments, and the doorman in the lobby is basically just at a desk someone threw into the corner of the entrance since there is no room for anything else.
I think the gist is, "Electronic payment platforms, including cryptocurrency, need more built-in consumer protection than cash money does, because they're much bigger pots of honey."

Because that's not how the string library works.

("12345"):sub(3,3) returns "3", while ("12345"):sub(3,4) returns "34", and ("12345"):sub(3,2) returns "".

Indexing in the array portion of tables, and strings, is at least consistent; but Djikstra was right.

The Wiki[0] has a good discussion of Djikstra's iconic essay. The best of these arguments, imho: 0 based indexing unifies enumeration and measurement.

Bezos is a conservative. Amazon as a company is also conservative-leaning. If you look at Amazon's PAC, most of their donations go to the GOP.
Last year, I did have a comment on the question - It was good to express what I was feeling and get considerate feedback on that - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20477882

For me, the situation right now is almost amusing.

Had I been writing this comment yesterday, I'd have stated that things were fine despite the upheaval in the outside world and I was doing OK remotely in a job that paid well and it was fun to work with very smart people.

Today, I am out of a job and staring at sudden uncertainty in the near future. Still, compared to a year ago, I am more like myself - calm and composed. I am around family and have things to look forward to. The trauma and near-depression from a year ago seems significantly reduced. I am almost glad to realize that the damaged me from a year ago seems to have healed quite well.

The near future is uncertain, but I am optimistic. This shock and uncertainty might just be what I needed to finally get going and find my own path. Time will tell, and perhaps I will too - in the next year's thread.
Almost certainly not. Nicotine is known to downregulate the recptor that SARS-CoV-2 uses for entry.
The parent post reads as an 'and' of two separate purposes. Shaping the electorate is partially achieved here by eliminating citizens who can't prove their citizenship to a bar set by the federal government and historically in the US politicians set the bar very high for their own purposes. Many people either don't have a birth certificate (records were lost in a government building fire, etc) or don't have access to their certificate (getting a copy requires driving 4 hours to city hall and paying money, that sort of thing). They may already have a state ID which is enough to drive and get to work and vote, but any new system requires them to go through all the expensive hassle the previous ID took, plus potentially more. If you dig around you can find many stories of people who are provably citizens but had to jump through dozens of hoops to get legal ID, or failed to get it entirely because the system is rigged against them.

We saw this impact with the rollout of voter ID laws and their uneven requirements, in some cases people simply could not acquire "acceptable" ID for voting purposes even though they were legally entitled to vote.
For sure. Old codebases can be but are not necessarily mature.
The Braveheart edition was pre-release (v1.1) hardware with no OS preinstalled. The Community Editions (CE) are based on release hardware with $10 of the purchase price going to the distro that gets preinstalled. The first one, that many here have in hand currently, was the UBports CE which was the v1.2 hardware with UBports preinstalled. The model you can currently order is the PostmarketOS CE which will be based on the v1.2a hardware (fixes an annoying USB hardware bug and I believe a low-brightness flickering bug as well in v1.2) So while they're different revs of the hardware, it's still the same phone with h/w bug fixes.

Define usable ;-) The distros are all very much a work in progress as even basic things like power management and device drivers still under very active development. The hardware of the Pinephone feels pretty solid and the software is just about at a 'hacker friendly' stage where you're not having to deal with fundamental annoyances at the system level. It's still a long way from being 'daily driver' ready though.
That's a claim musk made, but they already have over 500 launched without them. They should have 1000 by year-end, so it's unlikely they'll be able to use them for a couple of years.

The history of both has the ID functions of them added on after the fact.

Granted the ID functions of the state Drivers licenses were done a little better than the ID functions of the SSN being used for Tax ID purposes then for other ID Purposes largely because the adding the ID functions to Drivers Licenses was done by the same entity issuing the drivers licenses unlike SSA which resisted efforts to have SSN be an ID number

That said original drivers licensees simply had a Name and the fact you passed the test, there was zero ID component to them, this was added on later.
Practically every "trending" algorithm involves some degree of manual tweaking. Otherwise, they end up prone to identifying uninteresting trends (like the current day of the week, or other time-sensitive trends like "lunch" showing up around local noon), or are easily manipulated by groups of users.

Besides, one of the features of Twitter's Trends is a prose description of what the keyword references -- there's no way that could be generated automatically.
> It was. At peak perhaps 10 years ago.

Yeah, I wondered if that was still the case. Most of the examples I can find of “games that use Lua” are indeed around 10 years old.

Are more recent games using different scripting languages, or are they designed to not use a scripting language at all?
They don't have to convince any verifier. They don't have to be verified. If there's no official account and you create an account with a reasonable name, reposting every post from the official feed, you can get significant following. A lot of the followers will not care whether it's official or not and may not question an extra information appearing on the feed one day.
changing emails is a common way to keep account owners out of their accounts. might not have anything to do with the mode of entry.
>I have been trying to educate myself about the topic recently, though, and would strongly recommend looking into some of the excellent work on systemic racism in the US if you’re interested in learning more.

The fact that people write about this doesn't make it necessarily true. You should bear in mind that people are at least partly incentivised to write about this topic because it gives them soft power over individuals and society when it enters the mainstream - regardless of whether it's true. In other words you should recognize that you are potentially consuming propaganda.

>The documentary “13th” (available for free on YouTube at the moment), the 2nd season of the podcast Scene On Radio (“Seeing White”), and the book How to Be An Anti-Racist are three things I can recommend based on what I’ve read/heard from them so far.

All of this theory is based on the assumption that any two demographics with different cultures (i.e. with different notions of good/evil and just/unjust, varied attitudes toward the prioritization of work/study/sport, gender roles, etc) are equally suited, on average, for any field where we expect demographic parity. This is a fundamentally unproven modern assumption - and it doesn't make much sense when you consider how much influence culture has over individual interests and practiced abilities.

Now we are extrapolating from this unproven (and I suspect unprovable) assumption and using it as justification for discrimination against whites. Not only that, but we don't even have valid metrics for the degree to which racism influences society - because again there is no scientific justification for equal representation of all demographics in groups of individuals selected by merit.

>What you’re calling the “recent forced redefinition of racism” is not especially recent. I first heard this argument around 30 years ago, and at the time dismissed it, but now understand why people want to emphasize that over the definition I recall learning as a child which was structured along the lines of a belief in superiority of one group over another.

If you want to emphasize a new concept, you create a new word, you don't hijack an existing word and use it to denigrate or gain social power over others.

>Having a system that is designed and reinforced to encourage disparate outcomes is far more impactful to that group as a whole

Even if it were true, that all, or even the majority, of outcome disparity in modern western society is due to a broken system, that doesn't change the fact that this movement is effectively labeling white people as implicitly, innately, and inescapably evil. Where does it end? Isn't this literally the foundation for violence and atrocity?

It could be that companies are cheap, but I bet there's also tension between paying enough to get bugs reported and paying enough to encourage insiders to introduce (or, if they're smarter, find but fail to fix or report) bugs then have them "discovered" by someone outside (for a cut of the cash, naturally). Maybe (probably) these bounties are too low to be anywhere near the tipping point for that so are indefensible as-is, but there surely is a level at which you'd expect to be encouraging bad behavior (proof that such a point exists: imagine a $100m bounty—now, that's plainly on the other side into "too likely to encourage, and be claimed by, fraud").
It's possible to come to conclusions about that situation that aren't explained by racism. Correlation is not causation.

If I live in a neighborhood that has a greater incidence of violence, it's reasonable to assume that such a neighborhood might experience more policing. A neighborhood that has more policing in inherently one where you're more likely to be caught afoul of any law, violence not withstanding.

I had friends that lived in the boonies that saw a police officer maybe once a month if that. At the time I lived in the suburbs. I saw a cop maybe once a week. Now that I live in a city I see a police officer roughly once a day or every other day. If you see cops more often, it's more likely that you'll commit a crime in their presence and be incarcerated.

To get a more definitive answer on the magnitude of effect racism has, it would be important to control for other factors so you have a more fair comparison.

For example, if you take people of race X, Y and Z that are all of the same socioeconomic status and live in the same neighborhood, what is the likelihood that each are arrested for non-violent crimes?

The meta point here is that policies can disproportionately affect people with certain characteristics without any intent to disproportionately impact people with certain characteristics.

Racism may very well be the cause of the phenomena you've highlighted, but the data presented thus far is mostly inconclusive and at best suggests an amount of racism that explains far less of the discrepancy than accompanying confounding factors.

The sundry multivariate analysis I've seen (example [0]) attempted generally arrive at the conclusion that yes there is some racism, but that the magnitude of the impact of racism on outcomes is greatly overstated relative to other explanations. That doesn't mean that we still shouldn't address that injustice, but it does mean that there may be lower hanging fruit we might want to address first if our goal is a maximal improvement in justice instead of a modest improvement in justice. Not that we should eventually address all injustices, but resources are finite and it's fair to have a discussion about how to prioritize tackling different injustices and come to agreement on criteria we use to prioritize tackling different injustices.

Basically of that 3x rate, what percent is explained by racism and what is explained by other factors? What are those other factors and what is the contribution factor of each towards the 3x discrepancy.

Smoking decreases the amount of certain enzymes that COVID binds to in order to infect the lungs. Less enzymes means a lesser chance of catching the virus, but if caught, the person will likely have a more severe case due to the decreased lung capability.[0][1]
The figures that I have seen previously did show a very significantly decreased risk of catching COVID, and I'm surprised it hasn't been investigated far more.

Edit: I had that wrong, it seems nicotine increases ACE2, but also binds with ACE2 decreasing the amount of available enzymes overall that COVID could bind to.[2]

> The history of both has the ID functions of them added on after the fact.

Sure, the problem with your description is you are using “were never intended” for “were not originally intended”, which in the case of Driver’s Licenses is radically wrong; drivers licenses have been reengineered entirely around the need for a principal state-issued ID, expressly for the purpose of serving that purpose, which is why they are also the bases for non-driver IDs.
Good point. It would make me super uncomfortable to have random people that haven’t gone through security ride with me essentially into my home. Not that I’m even the type of person that would want to live in these silly luxury buildings though.
I just bought a kettlebell last week on Amazon and it came today. It was the last one of its model, but I'm sure you can find some others.

I've never lifted weights before but the kettlebell sounds appealing because it's supposed to be "functional strength", not overworking a single muscle like big gym machines can.

AWS KMS has a great whitepaper explaining how they do it here: https://d0.awsstatic.com/whitepapers/KMS-Cryptographic-Detai...

The tl;dr is that they use hardware security modules (HSMs) with quorum-based access controls. Any administrative actions such as deploying software or changing the list of authorized operators requires a quorum of operators to sign a command for that action using their respective private keys.

While this system was designed specifically around protecting customers' private keys, you could imagine a similar system around large databases.
They also exposed the emails of applicants and cos that had posted there. The site was just embedding them in the html
National ID is less common than you'd think in developed countries.

The USA, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand all lack national or citizen ID like what's common in Europe.

Australia is quite similar to the USA in the practical application of this. As far as I'm aware, all the different IDs the government gives you (TFN for tax, medicare for healthcare, etc.) are theoretically optional. In practise, you'd get taxed at the maximum withholding rate (but refunded the excess at the end of the financial year), miss out on cheap healthcare and other benefits, and wouldn't be allowed to drive. You are required to register to vote though, and voting is compulsory, but the information they keep is fairly minimal.

Generally the opposition is on the basis that the government should be trusted with as little information on its subjects as possible. Think of the worst thing that the government, or a third party that gains access, could do with the information they have on you, and then expect it to happen.

Obviously its a spectrum, most people would be opposed to a national database of everyone's DNA, and most people would agree that a government needs some amount of information in order to function effectively. So most people have an opinion somewhere in the centre.

Seems to me twitter should hire some humans to sit there and manually approve every tweet by all VIP accounts before they go live. How hard could that be? If that’s all they do you’re adding maybe a 30 second delay to every VIP tweet and you’re pretty much guaranteeing that this doesn’t happen again. Unless of course the hackers somehow inserted the tweet directly to the database and bypassing any such measures.
