Parenting issue or not we protect children with laws all the time. Think no further than alcohol and tobacco products whose sale to minors is banned. Sure we could say "where are the parents" but that's not how reality works and good solutions are the one that work in reality not on paper.

Without legal push to make everyone work in unison there will always be an entity (a corporation) willing to invest enough to push the right buttons and coax people into the most unhealthy habits. After all the profits will belong to that company while the expense is paid by society. The overwhelming majority of individuals are completely unqualified to see through the onslaught of marketing (especially the covert kind), the social pressure, or even to understand the risks they're taking.

SVD is this machinine readable description, and is available for most ARM micros, as it is needed for the peripheral register view in debuggers.

svd2rust [1] is an project that generates a (very low level) Rust API for a specific micro from this file.

Generally the file generated from this is known as the header files (as it is just C headers to access the registers directly) and the HAL is an abstraction layer on top, and is actually written manually by the microcontroller designer as it contains higher level functions (e.g. a function to calculate the clock settings to get a specific UART baudrate).

The STDLib is often supplied by the compiler vendor instead, or is an open source project like picolibc [2]

I am not just talking about the cancellation, I am also talking about product strategy. Like the example of Gtalk. Gtalk was interoperable, worked well and yet missed the beat of messaging apps.

Look at the messaging space now. Messenger, WhatsApp, iMessage. Google should have led this space with evolution of Gtalk.

Even for users, as it used XMPP we would have had an open platform where we could have just plugged in our own favorite messaging apps with it.

It is ethical and expected for a journalist to obscure facts to protect their sources. It is unethical for a journalist to fabricate facts to protect their sources.

Also as someone with experience being anonymously quoted by journalist before, it seems to be standard practice for the journalist to defer any decisions on how they would like to be referred to the source. Odds are Evelyn is the one who decided to just go by Evelyn. She probably doesn't care too much about absolute anonymity, but she also wants plausible deniability.
Also, authoritarian governments often lie to protect their "authority". Their "authority" is based upon this illusion of infallibility, which goes against democratic principles like openness.

> I was faced with a password "security policy" that pretty much only whitelisted SHA2 + salting for password hashing. We were using a time-hard (not memory-hard though) password hashing function instead and several levels of auditors were effectively asking us to downgrade to comply with their policy without even understanding the difference.

You can comply without downgrading by just applying the SHA2 hash after your time-hard hash.

It's interesting how quick people are to blame US corporations when it's the US government that subsidizes cheap carbs through the farm subsidy program (and on the flip-size in the US, subsidize the purchase of junk food via food stamps).

Also, banning sales to children doesn't solve the real culprit - parents buying the junk food for their own children. At least in America, watch any parent fill up their carts and pay attention to what they buy.

New buildings are rather efficient in US. The problem is old buildings that use 5X the energy for HVAC.

I echo that AC is quite efficient. Far more efficient than traditional heating. There's a misconception that hot areas are less environmentally friendly due to AC. The opposite is true.

Hot areas are only 25 freedom units hotter than humans prefer. Cold areas have months of 50+ temperature difference.

The misconception persists because heat uses gas, which is 5-10X less expensive per BTU of energy than electricity. So it might be cheaper to heat cold areas than run AC in hot ones, but its much more damaging to the environment. Plus, hot climates are using a lot of renewables these days which impacts the environmental friendliness of electric but not gas.

I expect migration to the sun belt to accelerate, at least in the US. It makes a lot of sense from environmental perspectives. In some southern cities there's already long stretches every summer where daytime AC use runs on 70%+ renewable energy.

Yeah, my point was that only. You can either charge the user upfront or you can earn money with ads as the user uses the platform.

For high end devices, maybe some of the services could have been considered paid off for before and could have skipped ads. That way, even Google gets 'Z' from phones.
For the sake of an example, allow me to assume (a) there are 10 people in your class, (b) each of you has an average of one other "risky outing" (shop at a store, one meeting with coworkers, visit another household) a day, and (c) each outing has a 0.5% risk of transmission assuming the boxer's infected.

If anyone in your group gets infected, there's a good chance you'll all catch it (you seem to acknowledge this). In that case, in one day of infectiousness, there's a 0.995^10 = 95.111% chance nobody else gets infected. So a 4.889% chance of infecting. That's low.

But if you all remain infectious for 14 days, there's now only a (0.995^10)^14 = 49.571% chance nobody new is infected. So the odds are your group spread it to at least one other person. And this process will probably repeat through those new infections.

Obviously, these numbers are arbitrary. It's a terrible model for an infectious disease. My point is to show how probability is very hard to reason about. It's unrealistic to expect average citizens to do this.
> How could there not be a monopoly on public safety?

Easily. Simply allow the private sector to provide the services currently under the exclusive domain of the FDA, for example.

> Trusting private corporations or companies with public safety is insane.

I agree 100%. However, companies are not in a position to provide public safety anyway. It's consumers who make up the public, through their choices, who provide for the public safety. They are perfectly capable of being safe without needing the government to interfere in their affairs.

> You know, instead of reforming it or fixing the problems we have.

What's really sad here is the belief that if only we had smarter experts in Washington D.C. they could make the perfect set of rules to regulate everyone's lives, and we would not have any problems. This is utterly naive, and is quite impossible in practice. No matter how smart an expert is, they simply can't know enough to make the optimal balance for you or me. They don't know anything about my life, so how could they evaluate all the trade-offs to make optimal choices for me? There are just too many variables and life is too dynamic.

This is exactly why free markets are great, they provide the distributed feedback that democracy can't. Individuals are free to choose the services and goods that provide the most value, and collectively these preference signals propagate through the market to guide producers, who are in turn free to innovate and create new services they think I will prefer. This "invisible hand" guides the interactions of millions of people across the globe, but it requires freedom.

Wherever there is a free market we see innovation and prosperity. The evidence is all around you.
70%+ of population is a hero!
Agreed, but laws cannot be created in a vacuum. You must take the real world into account, and take a practical approach.

As someone who knows a little bit about Mexico, this seems like a law that completely ignores reality.

I integrated some basic CEF stuff (enough get to get a basic browser working) into a Rust codebase (https://github.com/hamaluik/cef-simple). It was a massive pain at first, but much easier once you give up on the safety and "idiomacy" of Rust and accept that you have to write in more of C/C++ style. For the parts that can't be written purely in Rust, it ends up being not really any more painful than writing it in C++ anyway.

You can work on your form, by slowing down the squat, using whatever weights you do have on hand (a broom handle or "yoke" with 5 gallon buckets filled with water/sand), dumbbells, kettle bells or weighted vest. You can also work on your fast twitch muscles and explosivity by jumping from a squat. Doing squats with a weight in only one hand also improves your core technique. Now is a great time to work on your neuromuscular fitness which will improve your lifts tremendously.
Cronboard is a powerful dashboard for your Laravel applications that helps you manage and monitor scheduled tasks. Its deep integration with Laravel makes it extremely easy and quick to set up. It supports the full range of scheduler settings, and allows you to modify and manage scheduled tasks through an easy to use UI.

It will constantly monitor your cron schedule and notify you in the case of any issues. It detects not only missed cron jobs but also performance issues or logic problems. If any are found - detailed information will be provided to you on how to resolve them. This coupled with the powerful logging capabilities available and on-the-fly task executions makes identifying and fixing bugs a breeze.
Pass bills that says "yo, the governor is actually allowed to do <the current things they're doing> in response to a pandemic" with the usual legal stuff that is used to restrict it to the present situation.

I'm one of those people, I thought my fancy new 16" MBP would make up for my previous-gen lousy 13" but oooooh was I wrong.

However, they would probably have to do even worse to get me to switch away from their laptops altogether.

First, because a few generations ago they were so good I still (irrationally?) hope they'll get back on track, especially with ARM.

Second, because I have a hard time believing anyone else's high-end laptops are, on balance, any better.

Third, because I'm all-in on iPhone/iPad and think I would miss the integration.

Fourth, because for work I need to use software that's only available on Windows or Mac, and I haven't seen anything to convince me that Windows would be better.

Finally, I plan to learn Xcode, which will lock me in permanently, but I realize that's my own fault. :-)

I don't know if these reasons are typical, but I suspect they are at least a subset of the ten or so most common motivations for us complainers to stick it out.

Can't wait to get rid of this 16" MBP though! Grumble...

17 years ago there was a candy or confection sold in Mexico containing lead. I know this because I briefly contracted to a California state agency charged with reducing lead poisoning among children. Apparently lead, like many metals, imparts a kind of sweet taste, which is why there was, and probably still is, a problem with children eating old flaking paint containing lead.

I have not followed this situation since. Does anyone know if this confection is still legal and available in Mexico? This was a lot more dangerous than any junk food.

Disclaimer: I don't know what HN's algorithms are. These are my non-rigorous observations on how HN seems to behave.

If the article is flag-killed, you can't reply to any of the comments in the article. (I'm pretty sure about this one.)

If the thread is getting "heated" (too many replies too fast, too much anger), I think that the thread may throttle replies. People can still reply, but they are rate-limited. (I suspect that this one may take intervention from a mod to trigger it, but I don't know.)

If the discussion gets too deeply nested (indented too far on your screen), I think that the replies may get throttled as well. You see this with posts showing up without a "reply" link. If you refresh a few minutes later, then there's a reply link.

Finally, individual users can be rate-limited. This might be due to getting flagged too many times, or might require intervention from a mod.

As I said at the beginning, take all of this with a grain of salt, because I'm just guessing based on what I see.

> Small business is the engine of the economy

For context, from the SBA’s advocacy page (2019):

“ U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) is the market value of the goods and services produced by labor and property located in the United States. Across the 16 years from 1998 to 2014, the small business share of GDP has fallen from 48.0 percent to 43.5 percent. Over the same period, the amount of small business GDP has grown by about 25 percent in real terms, or 1.4 percent annually. However, real GDP for large businesses has grown faster, at 2.5 percent annually.”

I have not critically considered whether or not these statistics are the best indicator of the most effective contribution to the economy (or society).

What? That's a pretty exaggerated misrepresentation of what's actually being recommended. You can socialize and see or do plenty while still obeying the recommendations. For instance, my elderly neighbors regularly socialize with others -- they just put chairs out on the driveway or patio and maintain two or three times the distance as they would before the pandemic.

I don't think I recall having eaten any of near thousand tacos, even those for $0.50, that had "relatively little meat" and "are mostly carbs" and most often heard the sentiment of not understanding how you were getting such a great deal from non-natives, and natives typically informing inquirers that that's just... how things are and have been.
