Danish citizens which is only allowed to be done by the police. And withholding of information to be reported.
That's whatever the opposite of "appeal to authority" is. For starters there's a lot determined researchers can learn from declassified information about old ops and public information about current budgets and so on. And even if they worked in intelligence they wouldn't be able to publish anything classified.

What intrigues me is the claim "intelligence work is never useful". This is easily falsifiable with Wikipedia, which I assume even university professors deign to glance at on occasion. It's such a weird statement to make I feel like there's either more or GGP is mis-remembering something important from the book.
Ask HN: Why is the AWS console UX so bad?
The AWS console UX is atrocious. I don't even think this is a polarized topic; I've yet to hear anyone opine otherwise. For a company and platform as large as Amazon/AWS, I would think that there would clearly be a positive ROI to investing in quality UX.

Case in point, I switched to the new Route 53 UI a few weeks ago. After using it frequently, I've concluded that it's worse in virtually every measure. There's less clarity, efficiency, and overall feels more cumbersome.

Do AWS product managers just believe their UX is sufficient or even good? Do they want to discourage console usage in favor of API configuration via Cloudformation? Are they simply optimizing for something else?

I'm genuinely curious. What is it?
No, you should publish this research and be clear with how it all worked out and someone will reproduce it in their own way.

Reproducibility isn't usually about having a button to press that magically gives you the researchers' results. It's also not always a set of perfect instructions. More often it is a documentation of what happen and what was observed as the researcher's believe is important to the understanding of the research questions. Sometimes we don't know what's important to document so we try to document as much as possible. This isn't always practical and sometimes it is obviously unnecessary.

India's democracy is far superior to that of the US (which is TBH, like any two-party system, a bit of a joke - see Bush v Al Gore, dem race Sanders v Clinton), and as for corruption, the US leads the entire world on that score.

The difference is where the corruption happens (lobbying for billion dollar contracts, rather than a private citizen slipping a civil servant a few notes to speed along some approval or another). The former type of corruption doesn't get taken into account in any world corruption index, so Americans think they're not corrupt.

According to my former GP, vitamin D can fall below recommended levels over the winter months if you haven't stored up enough of it during the summer. So it's a matter of months not days.

As I understand it, vitamin D first goes into the blood. Any excess is then stored in your body fat and in your liver where it can last for months.

So I'm thinking that taking supplements right before a blood test could be a bad idea. But that doesn't mean depletion of stored up vitamin D happens within hours. It definitely does not.
Good for you. If you live in the Randstad or most cities, FtH is nonexistent outside of recently build suburbs [1]

You can just order bloodwork online with no interaction from a doctor and go to a local lab testing corp to get the blood drawn. This is assuming you're in America.

e.g. privatemdlabs.com (I'm not recommending that site, just giving it as an example, though I have used them in the past and everything worked as expected).
Yes, that is exactly the problem. People treat PYTHONPATH just like PATH, but the "easy scripting tricks" that are fine with PATH become subtle security vulnerabilities when you do the same thing with PYTHONPATH.

E.g., people will often add a directory to PATH by doing:

PATH="$PATH:my_new_dir"

This is practically always fine for PATH, since it's practically always set. If you use exactly the same syntax with PYTHONPATH, you have an instant security vulnerability. Now the first directory searched is the current directory, and if you ever wander into directories with untrusted fils (like "Downloads/" or "somebody_elses_container/") it could become serious fast. This is a sharp edge that was never intended.

I'm going to look into proposing this as a PEP. The change is trivial, but there may be surprising uses. A PEP would mean that it'd get more scrutiny (so the change will be less likely to be reverted later).

If policing was rigorous, we wouldn't need judges or juries.

Police should be assumed to not be rigorous in pursuit of their duties. They should be assumed to look for positive pieces of evidence, not exculpatory ones.

Given those two facts about the world, giving them more tools that are only capable of producing positive pieces[1] of evidence (within a confidence level below 100%) will result in more false arrests.

Programmer: Why I left the U.S. and moved to Eastern Europe
One pattern that I have used with some success is to reuse end points and use metadata that comes up with intercooler or htmx requests to determine the structure of the output.

For example, if I have search functionality at

/search

and I'm implementing the active search pattern shown here:

https://htmx.org/examples/active-search/

I'll re-use the /search url for the partial search results and check the HX-Request header to determine if I want to render the entire search UI or just the search results.

If you use hx-push-url as well, you can get a search dialog that acts like an active search for the user, but also retains copy-and-paste-able URLs
Do we need to rewrite startrek so Elon Musk is the borg queen?
I once floated the idea of a "simplest Turing Machine" contest that limited materials to wood, nails, screws, and string. The one with the least number of parts wins. Each Nail and screw would be considered half a part, but total score would be rounded up. This is because people tend to consider fasteners as ancillary, but not counting them at all would create too many loopholes and oddities.

> So please don't interpret this story as a reason to avoid any vitamin D supplementation. 1-2000 IU/day has been shown to be safe with long term use

I'll give you a more regular story. Some time ago I thought I needed to take D3 supplements after being exposed to all this PR pushing it and given that I don't eat food rich in it, rarely get sunlight, don't go outside in daylight (densely populated area, supermarkets work 24/7, etc.). So I bought some and took 2000 IU/day for a few days. Suddenly I started feeling numbness on the tip of my toes. After a bit of research I attributed it to D3, immediately stopped taking it, but numbness went away only after a few weeks. It's hard to see how taking it longer could have been safe.

So please don't generalize that 2000 IU is safe just because something showed that it was for some people in certain circumstances given certain country-specific lifestyle, foods, etc. I don't think a decent study on D3 safety even exists.

Middlemen’s value is usually in their ability to save time for the buyer.

Costco is valuable to me because it saves me time from having to research products and supply chains. I could go to aliexpress.com, but I don’t because I’d rather spend my time in other ways.

If I land in a foreign country, I could spend time researching taxi companies, or I can save time and pay Uber/Lyft a premium if I already trust them.

As a seller, a middleman (or broker) can save me time by discriminating against buyers I don’t want to waste time entertaining.

>I respect Scott Adams for his comic, but his blog is (in my opinion) a bunch of mass-produced rhetoric-pseudo-rational ramblings¹, trading out quality for (a very large) quantity

Not so sure about the "rhetoric-pseudo-rational ramblings". He writes his opinions and gives arguments. Nothing "pseudo" about them, though they could still be (and often are) wrong, either factually or as a reasoning.

>It's very unlikely that somebody with "he is an ok graphic artist and has an ok humor" will get his success just because of such qualities.

Well, if they also knew about business workings, and did business-related comic strips at a time when nobody else (or very few) was doing them, then they might. Humor, like drawing, is honed over time anyway.

>A very ridicolous example of whom was when he was proving that Trump will be successful because, based on his observations, leaders who were great in the long term, typically had a rough start.

Well, his prediction did pan out, when all pundits said otherwise. Could be dumb luck, but he has been lucky often enough.

Theirs [the pundits'] arguments then, would be even worse "pseudo-rational arguments" that Scott's: because on top of claiming rationality, facts, legitimacy, and statistics on their side and being presented with fanfare on prime time (unlike a mere personal blog), they were also proven wrong.
The author did indeed (fixed) thanks for catching that (it slipped by us & our proof-reader)
If it can't be trivially repeated, then you should publish what you have with an explanation of how you got it. Saying that "the researcher should just rerun the analysis" is not taking into account the fact that this could be very expensive and that you can learn a lot from observations that come from messy systems. Science is about more than just perfect experiments.
If it was just about meta data, maybe. However, the US (I accept that we are talking them now) have the lovely habit of imprisoning and torturing people on the bases of suspicion, without a due process, and without oversight or consequences for the fuckups. You see, the rules are exactly for the situations when some innocent bastard gets between the teeth of the machine and some middle manager orders for the body to be buried because murders look bad in the quarterly performance review.

I tend to agree generally WRT solar.

The usefully convertable fraction of solar on Earth may be far closer to present or anticipated energy demands than is commonly thought. Panel efficiency, spacing factor, lifetime, capacity factor, storage requirements, essential fuel-based needs (marine shipping, powered flight, mobile power, remote reserve generation & thermal), process energy (steel coking, Haber-Bosch, etc.) leave some large holes and very uncomfortable margins remaining.

The alternatives to solar are either secondary or tertiary options (biofuels, wind, wave) and hence, more limited, or comparatively finite (geothermal, possibly our best non-solar option, tidal).

I do largely suspect that humanity's future will be principally solar powered. The question is largely of how much energy and in what forms it will be available. And aagain, demographic trends and expectations shade strongly against pleasant transition.

I find Vaclav Smil's and the late David MacKay's works quite illuminating.

I agree with this and also nohello.com (as linked in the article).

I want to add a third one: ask your question in a channel if possible, not as a direct message to someone. DM'ing someone directly puts a lot of unfair pressure on that person, and also denies other people from both helping and learning. I think some people are embarrassed to ask for help in channels, and that's an embarrassment well worth getting over.
Heh. It's seemingly impossible to teach cops to care about basic things like not to kneel on people's necks or how to respect cries for mercy, and you think they're going to care about statistics? All the training and education in the world can't fix bad incentives. What is needed is automatic compensation for everyone falsely arrested by the police, and for criminal laws (eg "no murder") to be enforced for police officers.
I like this idea a lot. It would force an explicit decision from these companies to formalize their (today implicit) relationships with nation-states.

while we don't know "how", there is growing body of work showing a correlation between low level vitamin D - in particular winter pregnancies in Northern Europe countries correlate with higher rate of autism as well as the mentioned studies of the 2 clusters of Somali refugees.
I think we still lack fundamental tools that can allow anyone to say with reasonable certainty that drug X will work. All you can do is eliminate as much as risk as possible, but if you don't know baseline risk and how much each precautionary step actually reduces the risk by, you're still shooting in the dark. The only people that can 'win' in biotech are investors or pharmaceutical companies, namely those who can take a portfolio approach.

Thanks for that video.

Still, I don’t know if wild threats out of the blue after a 2 year CFIUS investigation counts as due process. Just because power is delegated to the executive doesn’t mean the executive can wield that power with impunity, see recent Supreme Court decisions.

The legal eagle video does raise additional concerns that aren’t being covered here, like first amendment issues. The timing makes it seem like concerns about TikTok are more about anti-Trump content than actual national security concern.

The Legal Eagle video is also very clear that the IEEPA explicitly restricts power over telecommunications platforms, which clearly seems to apply to TikTok. (17 minutes in)

Watching that video makes me think TikTok has an even stronger case than is being widely reported.
Useful but not necessary. Anything pointing at the Earth, nearly all satellites, work better closer. The issues of line of sight and coverage are all about money, and the cost of small satellite launch is dropping rapidly.

There are some satellites like telescopes that need to be far from the earth. But the vast majority could be banned from orbits beyond a distance where they won't decay in a reasonable amount of time, with the only downside being cost

Yes, because the "requirements.txt" is a dependency requirements file and not a lockfile. It took the Node.js ecosystem an embarrassingly long time to arrive at that insight, and I feel like the Python ecosystem/community still isn't there yet (though finally it's easily usable with Poetry).
With a (conservative) 10k RPM limit, you get a 6ms per rotation. But I would imagine the control must run many times per rotation, so it has a chance to do something different depending on the angle, like a physical camshaft would do. Say you have to re-calculate everything at every 1 degree of rotation, that would give you a 60kHz calculation rate or about 16 microseconds per iteration. I guess that's much more than even the best case in OP's example; I wonder what the compromises are then. Surely they don't punt on the granularity and (say) only do something every 10 degrees? Or worse?

"The fight here is about who gets to control the national narrative, and therefore, the nation’s shared memory of itself."

First - she claims it's not history but clearly the entire "conversation" is about history. And history as it's practiced nowadays isn't really about controlling narratives - this is how social justice views it (vague notions - that are intentionally selected to be impossible to prove, so as to evade the necessity of producing evidence - of the system, oppression, "centering", etc.). It's about rigorous academic work reviewed and debated among peers, not hashing out social justice in classrooms.

> un-erasing an unpleasant past

It's illuminating that "un-erasing" is coming from edgy personalities elevated at the NYT and not the broader academic community.

It'd be great if they could actually demonstrate that history is erased. Historians would love to hear about it and chances are they'd have already known about it. That'd be a juicy opportunity for scholarship, but again I have low hopes because a NYT personality probably isn't likely producing original, creative content but waging a tweet war.
Perforce. You have an always online server, and binary files can only be checked out by one person at a time (enforced by the server). Its big, it's clunky, the UI (p4v) sucks more than you could possibly imagine, but it scales.
There's a middle ground where you describe what steps you've already taken, or things you've tried, after you've described the problem at hand (with examples or links if possible).

At least then you're already providing enough info about what you've done so far that you can get a better quality response, or even a response advising to do something totally different.

Most of my posts are a little long-winded as a result, but I'm laying down the breadcrumb trail for someone who might be able to help but see things differently.
But Uber is "everywhere" so when travelling you don't have to download additional apps, ask someone to call a taxi for you or hail one in the streets. You also don't have to deal with payments or risk being ripped off.

The tech or overhead on Uber can't be that expensive so I really don't see why they shouldn't be able to pay decent wages and make profit.
- Keep the 100 pulls for Docker anon users, but make it monthly.

- Every user gets 600 pulls per month for free.
