> Whats there to think about it? Don't drink it

There are social costs to obesity and diabetes. They should be taxed like alcohol and tobacco and selling sugary drinks to children should be curtailed. We should have warning labels and government funded commercial campaigns highlighting the issue. We should subsidize healthier foods like vegetables and promote a healthy and active lifestyle. We should make nutritional education a core part of education.

> But neglect Air-safety to make Roads safer sounds stupid...why not do both.

We presently do both, but we underfund road safety and overfund airline safety. It's a matter of economics. If we're spending $10m per life saved in airlines and $300k per life saved on the road then we could save more lives by adjusting the expenditures.

> No we hold Airline's responsible for it

And I'm happy that we do, but we can still overfund health and safety in one part of the economy at the expense of the other.
Even with 100,000+ inhabitants at the time of construction, it seems to be tremendously expensive to build. At the same time, impressive engineering. For some reason, I imagine maritime design engineers could achieve this most readily, given that it appears to be a 'first article'.
> you expect them to send you to interview at every single company regardless of if they think that the company would be interested in hiring you?

I expect to be matched with every available role and an attempt to be made to represent me to them (and they to me). The disclaimer that they are looking for X Y or not Z is part of that. There is a practical issue muddying the metaphor which does not apply to the rideshare matching technology.

> Clearly agencies do discriminate who they match with each other.

That needs to be explicitly outlined in your contract with an agency. An employment agency is legally prohibited from doing that. This is the heart of the legal matter, imo.
Forgot about that! I have two different drive-thru daiquiris near my house. We had friend's visit from Seattle and we took them. They were surprised how much alcohol they put in them. They expected them to be weak since it was drive-thru daiquiris.
Whoops, my brain just ran right through the word. Looking at X4, it still looks like an incredibly busy game with a very busy gamestate
If you are having trouble with distracting conversation or bots, but are expected to work in the channel, I would consider it the same as any in-person distraction. Loud music, nerf guns, shouting or laughing in an open office. You could politely ask them to turn it off.

Or you could mute notifications except for @mentions and @all and tell them to use that if they need you.
Most delivery apps keep between 15% to 30% of the total order.
I use it too for embedded. Functions get inlined, fewer registers get saved unnecessarily in functions.

I also use “-fdata-sections -ffunction-sections” with “-Wl,--gc-sections” to prune unused sections.

There is some evidence this can actually increase your code size sometimes: https://stackoverflow.com/a/29951897.
How is that different from LPMUDs? LPC sounds exactly like that language.
And renting is a scam because the richer person (landlord) can scam the poorer person (you) simply because they have the money to scam you.

And you will take it because where else are you going to live?

If you look at things this way, everything is a scam.
This is one of those things I kind of wonder about the reality of. It's absolutely true that you're unlikely to be able to manufacture a lot of what you'll use during the war.

But simultaneously, it's not like the United States is really trying to fix this problem. The modern generation fighter aircraft are boondoggles with massively inefficient manufacturing designed to win senators and congresspeople votes - not act as the backbone of a hardened supply chain.

They're being built the way they are because the US doesn't seriously expect to face any enemy who can substantially deplete its forces, or is going to have any ability to strike the mainland.

My suspicion is that if there was an actual belief in the need to have reliable supply lines, it could be done and manufacturing could be streamlined a lot. You could definitely imagine a nearly fully automated factory rolling these things off very quickly.
Right now, Slack and Zoom are probably the only things holding my small org's collective culture together. Email just doesn't cut it when we're not in the same physical space anymore.
How do you mean? So if I type ihavecancer, it tries to resolve to ihavecancer.com or something?

> Tokyo could be the rare example of a once expensive city that successfully managed the difficult political process of removing planning restrictions in order to achieve affordable housing.

They didn't achieve affordable housing as a result of a clean slate. In fact housing in Tokyo was insanely expensive during the 80s. It wasn't until zoning restrictions were changed in the 90s that prices came back down. It's about the laws, not about having to contend with old buildings.
The Nym Privacy Platform
These systems aren't new, they've been around for years. Much longer than the MAX. You have no citations for any of your fears; no examples of floppies causing problems for planes, no source to suggest there is no automated validation of data read off the disks, nothing.

> Those systems probably have ECC memory, but who knows how many bits? And none of that helps you if the software you're loading into the system is corrupted in the first place

My above comment had nothing to do with ECC memory. I am talking about using error correction codes with the data read off the disk, not merely to protect against corruption in RAM. That would catch the scenario where data is corrupted on the floppy before it ever touched the plane. If you have a source that suggests nothing of the sort is being done, then present it. Otherwise all you have is dumb speculation. And even if where the case that no verification is being done, that would be more a failure of the software than the floppy hardware. There's really nothing concerning about the use of floppies at all; if they were using modern flash instead I'd still expect them to be automatically verifying the integrity of all updates. Trusting flash is hardly less stupid than trusting a floppy.

There is one big difference between using floppies and flash though; the floppy system has proven itself in the field and was created in past years hopefully before the FCC's recent dysfunction, while a flash system would not be proven in the field and would be created under an FCC known to be dysfunctional. This alone should be a great reason to not fix shit that isn't broken.
People who care about squeezing the most out of available bitrate use things like x264, but that's fewer people than you might think. And of course open source aficionados will use CPU encoders, since no hardware-assisted encoders are open source (afaik. Maybe AMD's open source driver can drive their video codecs, I dunno, AMD cards are irrelevant when it comes to content production, except when they're stuck in a Mac and use Metal).

In content creation, creating deliverables for e.g. YouTube or other video platforms it makes little sense to waste time on CPU encoding, when Intel QuickSync or nvenc are an integer factor faster and give you essentially the same quality, at a higher bitrate, which doesn't matter anyway, because the platform is re-encoding it 100 % of the time.
Why is your browser crashing every ten minutes? I can't tell you the last time that the desktop versions of Chrome, Firefox, or Safari crashed for me. That seems like a huge productivity issue if you have to restart the browser frequently.
> Centos/RHEL 7 ships with 3.1,

No, RHEL 7 and thus CentOS 7 ship with kernel 3.10 (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RHEL and https://access.redhat.com/articles/rhel-limits).
I'm not sure they wouldn't require retraining. If all the pilots are AIs, the tactics would change, necessitating retraining. Then there would be the search for better AI tactics. You'd still be in a position of a tactics race, driven by simulation and machine learning probably, so the evolutions would iterate faster, and the deciding factor would become the computing power each air force could throw at it.
Yes, you're actually correct here. I interacted often with the JSTARs crew (we were on the same base in Mosul for a few months) and not as often with the AWACS crews. JSTARs was the first thing I thought of when you said big plane with radar though as it is literally a big plane with the sole purpose of SAR. The AWACS is more or less a similar thing, but with additional EW (electronic warfare) kit and sweeps the sky.

They're complimentary although the AWACS is more relevant today than the JSTARs is. Most of the hardware in the JSTARs hasn't been updated in decades and it is starting to show its age. We had trouble integrating our realtime video feeds from our UAV with the telemetry feed from the JSTARs because it is just clunky and old.
You should embrace suffering, not pain. If you're in pain it means something is wrong and you should stop, or you will hurt yourself and take longer to recover.
Certain anti radar missiles have a loiter capability where they deploy a parachute, looking down and waiting until their target lights up.

Launching a Side Project Backed by GitHub Sponsors
In reality my browser says "connect to www.google.com on port 80", the the library eventually calling like getaddrinfo to translate the domain name to an IP address.

My OS resolves www.google.com to 123.45.67.8. It's the OS's responsibility to resolve the DNS, not the browser.
Yep, that was the first thing I did.

For me, "Yeah it sounds cool, but let's see some code" is my usual response to new programming languages.
One thing that’s problematic is that Slack has the “wrong” notification settings on by default (it notifies you of everything). You should flip the default to “mentions only” and then don’t worry about looking at a channel unless you’re mentioned. Once you’ve got that setup the channels start working to your advantage because you can use them as topic headings to just read the stuff you’re interested in keeping up with once or twice per day. Then you can press shift+esc and clear all of your unreads (or do the same in the “All Unreads” section IIRC).

As for the emoji: If you ever aren’t sure what one means, just hover over it (on desktop) or press and hold on a reaction emoji on your phone and either way will show you the its name which usually gives you a pretty good idea of its meaning.
Strange. I've heard the same stories about Uber: drivers complaining about short, unprofitable rides, and then there was the study about Uber drivers who take more risks while driving making more money.[1]

I suppose the only thing preventing the adversarial behavior is that the driver needs your five-star review.

Asking for volunteers to test a videochat product (for free) useful for elderly
Hey HN, we're a group of former IoT colleagues who have built a way to video chat with your family on the TV. Yes, we know, another video chat product. But this one is deliberately dead simple. No accounts, no passwords, no room links, no collection of personal data. There's not even a mute button. It's just a direct connection between two units that sets up a video call on your TV. All you need is a Wi-Fi connection and a TV with an HDMI port. It takes one click of the included bluetooth button to enter the chat, and you can keep it on for as long as you'd like.

Why did we build it? Because we were tired of crowding around a laptop with our entire family, or telling our parents to hold their iPad a little higher and make sure it's charged. Because we inevitably shared the wrong zoom link, which was awkward. Because we're all a bit wary of putting a Facebook device in our living rooms.

And because for an older demographic, the experience of sitting on the couch with a big screen and sound is just a lot more pleasant. We think this product could be especially beneficial for caregivers and folks who, especially given the current circumstances, can't visit their older loved ones.

We have a limited number of units available for public testing, and we'd like to give them away for free in exchange for some real feedback. If you're interested, please reach out to us at support@kinokochat.com and tell us how you'd use the product. Thanks for your support.
Except an AI tweak which changes behavior enough can be rolled out - let's face it - probably via a wi-fi update within minutes (aviation is, ironically, pretty simply compared to self-driving cars - we're not talking about big algorithms in a lot of cases).

The side with AI planes is just looking up K/D ratios on their telemetry from the planes. The other side is losing pilots.
This is something that I suspect could cause another crypto boom even if a short lived one. If/when government decisions or some other forces cause people to want to move currency and avoid government scrutiny there will be a large amount of cash flowing into crypto currency.
> I disagree. Negative results are important. Null results are of very limited interest. The two are worlds apart.

I agree they're different but, but disagree that they're worlds apart. There's a spectrum between them, caused by uncertainty and statistics. If I say the average treatment effect of my new drug is probably somewhere between -x and +y, it could be a negative result or a null result. It's the fuzzy line between statistically insignificant and materially insignificant.

Maybe I only had two patients per experimental cell, so I barely learned anything. The drug's treatment effect on lifespan is between -30 years and +10 years. It's "null" in that we didn't learn much of anything.

Maybe I had a billion patients per cell and I learned that the average treatment effect on lifespan is between -0.001 days and +0.1 days. It's "negative" in that we learned the drug doesn't materially affect lifespan.

The position we seem to be in is that most conventional experiments are powered with a moderate effect size at 80%, meaning that many of our null-or-negative (-x, +y) results will be right around the region where it's unclear whether results are null or negative.
That doesn’t seem relevant to me. If you and I both have accounts at a particular bank and they draw from yours instead of mine, generally I’d expect the bank to take the money from me and give it to you to right the situation. However, are you just SOL if I don’t have the cash to make you whole again? Just because we both use the same bank?
MetaMask replaces MIT License, claims ownership of all forks
Browsers that split off because of the killing of XUL and establishment of the Firefox walled garden continue to operate using XUL and the giant (and still improving) ecosystem of add-ons that defined what Firefox was. There are no problems even with a ten thousandth of the resources that Mozilla has.

Mozilla removed XUL and all the power features because they were incompatible with building a chrome clone that could protect users from themselves. They did this because market share became more important than features and the vast majority of people don't want or even understand that their browser can be customized.
In this scenario, is it better to have one larger Bloc cripple the smaller one?

They are deemed unlawful when you force people to join, teachers freedom of speech was considered violated when they're forced to join but disagree with the demands of the union. Is it fair to be forced to join, your dissenting opinion ignored and pay people who work against your own interests?
I mean after a certain point you just have to accept the kinds of things that your users will type in whatever text boxes you show them and make it work. If you know what the user is trying to do then it's not good UX to throw an error or tell them "I know you're trying to search, but I won't until you retype it into this other box".

Google Maps is a good example of this. Like the original text box you were shown was searching for an address but enough people typed business search terms that eventually they just implemented that feature.

The Ansible vault is a bad example of this. They have a little command `ansible-vault` that lets you manage encrypted files and strings. If you run `ansible-vault edit ./nonexistent_file` it tells you that you meant `ansible-vault create` and vice versa but doesn't just do it despite the user intent being clear. This ultimately lead me to just patching it to do the right thing.
That sounds reaaally unlikely. If the malware shipped a mysql client the NSA would definitely be able to pop the mysql server it connects to.
Author of Terran here.

Processing time will increase, of course, but Terran can definitely run in CPUs. The library currently provides models that run in real-time in somewhat modern GPUs, so estimate about 20x-30x slower than that in a CPU.

Going forward, the intent is to add CPU-friendly (and eventually edge-friendly) models as well, so you can choose whichever is more appropriate.
I like it. What do you think about making it autoplay when opening a video?
If we keep a complete record of all player inputs we can also replay the exact game after the fact, a great feature that arises as a consequence of this design choice.
But I was helping the compiler
> Yes, it is. Scientific proof is not available in economics, but that doesn't make it not a science.

It literally does.

> That you have these advantages

A doctor parent in Italy is not advantages, my parents come from poor families, are born during the ww2 and studied a lot to get there, working hard while studying to support their families

They are now retired and worked their whole.life for the public healthcare systems, they weren't high paid surgeons the like you see in US TV shows, they simply wanted to help people, not get rich.

That's why they never made a lot of money.

It is possible in countries where studying doesn't mean taking a loan of hundreds thousands of dollars, but it's almost free for everybody

You know that thing you hate there, called social welfare?

Makes miracles, especially for keeping babies alive.

> What the hell does that have to do with anything?

That most of us in Italy have African ancestry in our DNA

> People of sub-Saharan African ancestry in Europe DO have higher infant mortality rates..

They don't.

Look at France, 8% of the population comes from Africa, their infant mortality rate is 35% lower than the US

Not 1,2 or 3% less as one would expect from the richest country in the World, 35% less

It means US has 1.5 times worse infant mortality rate than France

Every 2 in France in US there are 3

That's a very large difference!

What's the explanation for having a 3.625 times worse infant mortality rate than Estonia whose GDP is so low that it is measured in billions?

> Do some research on the causes of higher infant mortality rates in the US.

Do some research on what make other countries have a better record than US

There are at least 33 of them

BTW what's your excuse for the mass shootings or the homicide rates worse than countries controlled by warlords or having the lowest life expectancy of the west?

Are those traits that actually make US better than, for example, Sweden?

Can you prove in any meaningful way that growth = general wellbeing?

I mean, without blaming black people if you can...
I was young but it was heady days back then in the early 90s playing with that stuff. The most disappointing thing for me at the time was how the Internet went the direction of the web browser / HTTP instead of the direction we were trying to go with stuff like LambdaMOO. The web in those days was all about a non-persistent connection and a fairly non-interactive experience. It wasn't until the mid-2000s that "web 2.0" took off and the web got some of the interactivity and dynamic programmability we had in mind with what we were playing with in the early 90s -- but it got it in this awful bolted-on way.

That idea of a massive shared authoring environment, I still think that's the future of computing. But for me it isn't about the 3d VR-ish immersion stuff, I actually fear the isolating box that that puts people in. Which is why I haven't played with Roblox or let my kids use it either. I don't want them in another world. I want these kinds of tools to enrich the world we already have, instead.

Right. My old boss at Apple used to encourage me to rant about how our products should work, and then shake his head and with a Gallic chuckle say, "we'd go broke if we made products for you".
No, browsers won't do anything of the sort with HTTP. Or ftp. Or SMTP.

HTTPS sure. SMTP when they start a TLS session sure, FTPs too, there's protections at a higher level to ensure MITM isn't working, and you could probably argue that's a reason that DNSSec isn't required at all - after all get the wrong IP and your secure application won't do anything past the initial handshake. That's still leaking information though.

DNSSec, if used, is something that should sit in my DNS resolver, which should be part of my OS, not in my browser or ssh client - after all I might not want to use DNS, I might want to use a different protocol for resolving address lookups.
It's been declining for decades and over half a century. They didn't know how bad they were. Who supports unions in the US and what majority? Who said that?
I wonder if there is an equivalent for MSVC and Clang Compilers.

Would be nice if there was a good guide somewhere on flags to use (and their trade-offs) for fast floating point performance for numerical intensive programs.
Where did the money come from if not from "tuition, grant, donation, state or taxpayer funds"? And if they have another source of funding, this still means the money is missing to fund things in the future that now they have to use "tuition, grant, donation, state or taxpayer funds" for.

They also send a clear message that ransom ware blackmail is a great business model. I think that is more than enough reason to dunk on them.
