I don't know about the next edition; `as` is also used for a small number of non-numeric conversions, like turning a reference into a raw pointer or for creating a trait object. In order to completely remove `as`, you would need to first introduce alternatives to those (the trait object use case specifically might be a bit weird as a method rather than a keyword, but I don't know if that's a big problem).

Alternatively one could just deprecate `as` for numeric conversions, although there are still some library holes that would need to be patched up (e.g. other than `as` I don't know of an existing single method to say that you want a fast integer conversion routine that merely truncates a u64 into a u32; right now the alternative is `try_into`, which does a runtime check and returns a Result). It might also exacerbate tensions with some people who for quite a while have been grumpy that Rust requires frequent explicit numeric conversions when doing things like indexing (which always requires a `usize` type, so you see `foo[bar as usize]` unless people want to always work with usizes directly); would these people be happier if that were `foo[bar.as_usize()]` instead, or would this all be blocked on a discussion about being more lenient with numeric conversions?
Funny how Barr doesn't mention Russia.

I used to implement an equivalent of exit or return statement, like in this example.

#lang racket

; implement sqrt in a very inefficient way
(let/ec exit
(for ([i 10])
(when (= (* i i) 49)
(exit i)))
"not found :(")
;==> 7

There are more idiomatic and easy ways to write this, but when you have to many nested and not nested for's, sometimes it is useful to have a magical exit-everything-now.
Blue sheets are no joke. I got to see a glimpse of the info the SEC collects and learn a bit about how they use it. Dont underestimate the SEC on market manipulation. You would not be indistinguishable- it's a trap "novice" market manipulators fall for that makes them so easy to catch before they do really big news-worthy trades.
Wonder where they got that definition of "invasive" because it surely wasn't in a medical textbook.
Several years ago there used to be a site called KnifeTests where a heavyset man dressed like a serial killer put a variety of cheap and very expensive knives through horrific levels of abuse. Using the tip to dig through a 2x4, hammering it through a steel pipe, putting in a vice and standing on it, bending the blade back and forth, slicing a variety of materials including concrete.

The one thing that really stood out was INFI steel. That stuff may as well be magic. It's honestly hard to even get anything made with it these days but if I had to trust my survival to one metal INFI would be it.

That is a completely fair and relevant assessment. I don't know what it is like to work in small town with few job prospects.

I would hope I would act the same in that situation, trying to make things better for everyone, but honestly I don't know.

Hopefully the rise of remote work will fix some of this, giving you more prospects outside of your small town, and more flexibility.

Aw man, thanks for that ego boost today. I'll try not to let it go to my head. :)

But seriously, I always try to give advice that is generally relevant, because I am self-aware enough to know that just about every situation I've been in is not the norm. But thank you for calling me out, because sometimes I still make poor assumptions.
For those who need the magic incantations, this is a cash out refinance (where you’re stripping cash out of the property with your equity). If you’re not taking cash out, it’s just a “rate and term” refi (which are usually very easy to have done, depending on your financial and credit situation).

yeah but add verified twitter accounts from authority figures, add nice graphics, livestreams, etc. and it is very convincing for at least enough people to keep the scams going. Twitter and YouTube have millions of users. If just a tiny fraction of them send some BTC, that is a lot of $ given how valuable BTC is.
Your argument here seems very circular to me.

You ask "when did we decide that?". That implies that there is some discrete point in time in the past when societal decisions are made. But that's not how societies work, not how politics work. The way it works is that we are continuously "deciding" things like this, through conversations like the one here, and articles like the one we're talking about. It doesn't make sense to say, "this article is reaching for abstract targets that we haven't decided on", because there is no decision point in the past like that, we're discussing what we want right now, in this moment, and the article is part of that discussion.

You claim that ideas "we like" are not what is pertinent. But that's also not the way societies and politics work. If we as a society decide that this is a good thing to strive for, that "we like" the idea, we can do that. We can decide we want to do that and discuss it and brainstorm ways to achieve it. Looking at what other countries have done is definitely an interesting input in that discussion, but it certainly isn't the only thing that is pertinent.

I think you should just say "I am unconvinced that this should be a goal we have as a society". You seem to be trying to appeal to some larger power, some discrete ledger of things we have decided on, but really I think what you're saying is that you are personally skeptical of this, and perhaps that you believe many others in the society are skeptical of it. Which is cool (I may even agree with that, I'm not sure yet), but it would be more clear to just say that.
Ask HN: How do you find the energy for a side project after a 9-5 job?
I've heard/read that some people work 4-5 hours in the evening/night after their full-day job (for a side-project or hustling for their startup). After a day of work, I feel totally exhausted and can't seem to focus on work. Though I can read (books/articles) and walk/exercise a bit.
Weekends too go in haze or watching some Netflix.
Any suggestions?

Testicular cancer is a bad example, but it looks like from some quick googling in USA ~42k women die each year from breast cancer while ~33k men die from prostate cancer. Overall "cancer mortality is higher among men than women (196.8 per 100,000 men and 139.6 per 100,000 women)"[1] Significantly higher. Men on average live 5 less years than women.

Cancer research funding relative to annual deaths[2] shows breast cancer far "overfunded" relative to everything else. Government breast cancer research funding looks generally double prostate cancer research funding[3]

You can debate the above points or how exactly funding should be allocated, but if your response is to justify mocking any concerns, perhaps you are not really assessing the evidence in good faith.

While its interesting to see the thought process behind this, its also very common to see companies going down the road of creating PaaS on top of K8s and later giving up, because it adds a lot of work, its hard to get it to the state where it needs to be, and ultimately, ends up adding more complexity, more effort, consuming budget and diverting funds and focus away from what adds value to the company

TL;DR: you are wrong.

There is some tantalizing evidence that maybe just maybe there might possibly be some degree of latent t cell cross reactivity. This is not actionable information, because it very well could be false.

"based on the basic reproduction number" is total nonsense. I am not basing anything on the basic reproduction number. I don't even know what you are even referring to here.

I understand the math just fine. It is you who keep doing the math wrong. You are "factoring in" 3 different variables, each of which are controversial and may not even exist at all. Then you are taking the most optimistic scenario for each one of these variables, compounding your bad math three times over.

Your argument is even more murderous if HIT is 65%. 65% of 7.5 billion people is 5 billion. IFR of 0.3% (which you admittedly completely made up) is 14 million dead? I'm on mobile but I think that's right. You want to kill 14 million people. Even though Japan, S. Korea, Singapore, Canada, Taiwan, Germany, Italy, Spain, heck arguably even NYC right now have proven that this can be controlled.

I think it is very much a case-by-case basis, depending on a number of factors. Factors include, but are not limited to, what part of what government, purpose/mission, funding, incentives, and local culture.

Yes, one can find examples of incompetence and inefficiency if one looks, but one can find the opposite as well. I think a blanket attitude of government == inefficient incompetence is an unhelpful one, and a major part of how you get DMVs that deserve the purgatory comparison.
I think there is an argument for it being a hack in the sense that a secure system should try and limit internal abuse too.
HN: I think yes.

I maybe check HN a couple times a day, have never added a new item, but have posted comments.

Due to this after however many years (Edit: almost 8 years) I don't have enough points to down vote.

Like SO was at the beginning I think graduated access like this can definitely help a community.

However, like any other gated community it's easy for the ones with high rep to form a bubble.

I think what's prevented HN from turning into SO, Twitter, etcetera is that

a) there are no real profile pages. The reason for coming here is to see what tech news has been shared. Sort of like subreddits, the driving content is a shared interest, not a personality.

b) there's no profit motives at work. We're not customers (or data to sell), we're people with a shared interest. This is a sort of hobby project, with the 'benevolent dictator' coming by as needed, fixing titles and links, and letting us know about technical issues with the platform.

c) anyone can upvote and see buried comments. I have the option enabled to see people who have been downvoted to gray text. Rarely do I think it's undeserved. If for some reason someone is getting buried for a legit comment usually there's a comment reply questioning the votes, by someone else, and clarifications are worked out.

d) (I assume) a lot of lurkers who can't downvote, but can, and do, upvote.

And there's probably other reasons. Which I guess means it's a combination of things, one of which is how downvoted are handled.
Search Google for "fbi insider trading press release". Every one of those people thought nobody would find out. They were wrong.
Well in the case I am referencing specifically the people involved wrote a very detailed rationale for their reaction and specifically noted their choice was not due to appease a mob (https://www.reddit.com/r/NightInTheWoods/comments/cxqjp8/end...)

But in a general sense I don't see why you assume that the "mob" are not customers or fans. How does "cancel culture" even work if the actual customers and fans maintain the same level of sales? What is the mechanism by which public pressure causes a "mob" to exert control over a company's decisions?
> YouTube likely isn’t forgetting that you’ve watched it.

No, they do. Videos that you've watched are marked as such. They have a red bar at the bottom of the video thumbnail that shows how much of the video you've watched. For ones you've watched all the way through, it's just a solid red bar.

After a few months, YouTube just forgets. I can go to, say, Chubbyemu's channel (https://www.youtube.com/c/ChubbyemuGames/videos), which I've watched most videos on, and it only shows that I've watched videos 6 months or newer. YouTube forgets everything past that.

The point of my post was multi-fold. YouTube will recommend a video they _know_ you've watched; it's got the red bar at the bottom. But even if they didn't do that, they'll forget in six months anyway and recommend it anyway.

> Some people, like me, will watch the same video multiple times, if not dozens.

Hmmm, yeah, you're right. I do the same. Must be that their AI has learned that behavior, but hasn't quite figured out what makes a video "rewatchable" yet.

My credit score is provided to me every month by my bank as a freebie, and it has fluctuated seemingly randomly between 785 and 815 for years now.
The imprecision in the title here is insane. This is is a fully formed sentence which makes an unambiguous claim which is obviously not true, the implicit assumption apparently being that all readers in all cases will be able to properly read between the lines to reparse the title into not being a lie.

I'm an avid flight simulator enthusiast with marginal internet and I think this is a great gesture by Microsoft.

I live in "rural" Canada, approximately 10 kilometers (6 miles) from a municipality of 160,000 people, and internet access for me is a mix of LTE and Satellite, and unlikely to improve (maybe Starlink!). Even limiting myself to focusing on a single flight simulator platform, Digital Combat Simulator, downloading and keeping the simulator updated requires planning and timing to work around my bandwidth cap.

I've been following the development of Microsoft's new Flight simulator, but as soon as the download size was announced it seemed like a non-starter for me. But the announcement of a physical DVD changes this, and I'm now quite interested in their simulator.

Aye, our main corporate tech office is in a city with a lot of protesters, and had the windows smashed and the lobby set on fire. This is a Fortune 500 that you have heard of.

Everyone is remote due to COVID, but this isn't a remote office in a podunk city. And even if it was, you can't just handwave it away.
Yep, good point. But if someone stole this amount in cash through a hack or social engineering, I think that would be even more notable :)

It's never illegal for the user to create an account. It can be for the company.

As a heuristic: a website such as HN that is available in the EU but doesn't specifically target EU "customers", and that isn't itself or via some subsidiary registered within in the EU is perfectly fine.

I believe the same is also true if you allow EU customers to buy in your online store as long as it's implemented as just a "country" form field and, again, you are not registered in the EU/have no distribution warehouse there, and so on.

I've seen the New York Times being cited as a sort of goalpost of what's still ok: even though they have journalists in Europe, they have no sales presence, and are clearly aimed at the US market.

No idea about Amazon, though.
The real reasons: depressed due to the current world situation, browsing reddit, HN, youtube, doing housework, checking stock portfolio, chatting with friends. In between all these distractions, one does manage to get some work done, at least 2 or 3 days a week.
Minimum wage is designed for whatever we choose it to be. The original intent is somewhat unclear as all it did was establish a wage floor. Debating what abuse means is a different matter.
This is the most important point:

> Also, it seems clear that this Twitter hack could have let the attackers view the direct messages of anyone on Twitter, information that is difficult to put a price on but which nevertheless would be of great interest to a variety of parties, from nation states to corporate spies and blackmailers.

My understanding is the hackers used the admin panel to change the email addresses of the accounts, which means they could reset passwords and perform full account takeover [what about 2fa?]. That means they could login as the user, and so it means they could read the user's direct messages. (Ironically, Twitter's solution of disabling posts from blue checkmarks would not have stopped exfiltration of direct messages while an account was compromised.)
