AAAS is a non-profit, and Science subscriptions are really cheap — like US$100 for a year of a weekly magazine. They are not money-grubbers, and they are very distinct from Springer, Elsevier, and Nature in this regard.

I think they legit view preservation of the scientific record as within their provenance to cover.

Well, to be fair, sharing the exposed data to the public is a pretty jerk thing to do, so I could understand wanting him punished for it. He’s lucky with his sentence, though; 41 months, while disproportionate to the crime, is still better than he could’ve gotten.
I wish HN commenters would try to think of solutions instead of automatically listing the problems.

This place is pretty depressing sometimes.
I understood that, and I didn’t take your comment negatively. Sorry if I phrased mine such that you think I did.

My point is only that at the industrial scale, raccoons are a non-issue. The cages that keep the chickens in probably do a fine job keeping the raccoons out.

Those of us muddling along with our backyard flocks with the intention of not supporting the industrial raising of chickens are the ones dealing with random predators.

You’re right that at a species level it looks ironic. Looking at it at an individual level, I think, revolves the irony.
> The School of Life infuriates me for many reasons

"Alain de Botton [owner of The School of Life], for example, has built an international self-help empire, offering lessons in self-love to CEOs and yummy-mummies (and daddies). But what actually drives him, underneath the bonnet? What dirty fuel keeps him motoring? It's the fact he had a violent tyrannical father [1] who never accepted little Alain or made him feel good enough. All his books, he has said, were an attempt to connect with Pater Horribilis. The School of Life should offer a workshop in Radical Self-Loathing."

…an electric car? Unless there’s a V8 Hemi option for the Model Y I’m not aware of.

And anyway, this is seemingly taking the place of a plastic part, and if the heat exchanger wasn’t melting the factory-spec plastic, I imagine it’s not hot enough to start this wood smoldering.

(I still would prefer my fancy car have the proper, automative grade plastic.)

How do you get the benefits of using distributed architectures when you have to keep data within a single region? Seems so annoying
Functional is making a comeback, because the performance is now good enough. That's my personal assessment. It never really "lost" to OOP, it just wasn't ever a real contender before, because of performance reasons.

With the revival of dynamic languages though, people heavily programming in JS, Ruby, Python, etc. Performance is no longer a concern of people. So now people are motivated by what makes the act of programming as convenient to the programmer.

When it comes to that, it turns out a lot from FP does make things simpler for the programmer. It started with data transformation, I think helped by the appearance of LINQ in C#, which first exposed people to functional data transformation. Then Java got Streams, and everyone kind of followed suit in introducing some higher order functions and map/reduce/filter and all that.

Also: callbacks. As asynchronous behavior became more popular, there was a real need to lower the amount of verbosity and just code you needed to type to program in an async style. So creating a class and an object for every little event in your app, to pass as callbacks to all async functions just got super annoying. So people introduced anonymous functions and lambdas, and added support for higher order functions that could be used as callbacks.

Once you've got callbacks and higher order functions, closures are a natural extension, you often want to pass a callback that will set some state elsewhere when done or other such things. So Closures were also added.

And here we are, with a full FP toolkit due to the fact that performance isn't a concern anymore and async programming is more convenient when your language has support for first class functions with closures and anonymous functions and lambdas.

At the same time, like you said, people started squeezing more out of their cores and their seperate IO controllers, so concurrent and parallel programming became more common. That forced people to look at the immutable characteristics of some FP langs, and so support for immutability was also added to a lot of language.

Once you're in the realm of immutability, Objects also become less useful, since there's no need to encapsulate and protect modifications to something you can't modify anyway. Thus once again, creating a class and a constructor and all that just becomes unneeded verbosity and extra code to write. So people wanted ways to go back to immutable value records and just write functions over them, etc.

All these things in my opinion combined for what is today the "resurgence" of FP.

Assuming this really is random consumer crap, and not just an automotive product that is designed to look like something from the cheaper end of Ikea for some reason, I really don't see how this could possibly be seen in a good light. How will this material react to the 10+ years of hot/cold cycles it'll be exposed to? What are its fire properties? Will it decay/mold (if it's an MDF-ish product, which it _looks_ like, though who knows). And so on. There are just too many unanswered questions and the whole issue could be solved by doing things properly.

And if they need to do this (due to part shortages?) what OTHER bizarre substitutions might they be making?

Again, there's an outside chance that this is a proper product that just looks really cheap-DIY-y, but I wouldn't bet on it.
Thanks, I'll try that now!

I had that too until I ramped up my own noise signal. With twitter I hooked up a couple of RSS feeds via IFTTT. I do tweet more but send out 20 RSS tweets also. Perfectionist is a creativity killer. Nobody fact checks and remembers what you tweeted a month ago.

I do keep my hn profile low profile because it is also nice to have an outlet for fresh idea's and opinions that need refinement. I actually change my mind the most about things I comment in on HN. On my work everything is within the Overton window.

I completely agree. Apologies if my comment above rubbed anyone the wrong way. The point you just made was my overall point. Our concept of time is confined to our current existence / cycle - that's what I meant by the sun revolving around the Earth comment, but others were correct when they responded that as a current metric that's not really useful.

I'm very familiar with symfony, but not so much with django or other "persistent in memory" web frameworks. Can someone ELI5 what the advantage is to async django? Does it mean the server doesn't block on one request before handling the next?
Looks good! Maybe it's time to translate the content? If so, I vote for French :)
I disagree. I think Epic Games and the affiliates didn't think through the ramifications for the actions taken by Epic Games.

Epic Games is free to build their own phone and app store platform. There is nothing stopping them. Other than the risk that people don't want to buy into whatever they build. But Apple had the same risks.

If this is truly a good faith negotiation (and not a stunt) on the part of Epic Games, they need to understand they're just losing the negotiation -- that's all. Business is business. Epic Games is just bad at it.
I agree. I’m just saying that news may not be the best indicator of how common an attack vector is.

I recently moved some code base from py/django to c#/aspdotnetcore.

C# probably has some of the best async primitives of any language. I still managed to be bitten by the very common issue of error logging getting lost in a hidden callback that doesn't look like a callback because of the magic of the async keyword (a common issue in node as well).

I'm convinced that the async style of web servers is largely a step in the wrong direction. A leaky abstraction that we don't need.

A better model already exists - thread per connection - for the majority of what we want as web developers. There are some good things about allowing us to manage our own waits but those things are rare.

It reminds me of the choice of when to manage your own memory - usually we don't need to, but sometimes we do. Most languages programmers use today decided, rightly, that memory management was an exception and not the norm. We are more productive today for the reduction in cognitive load for most applications as we decide not to manage our own memory.

Thread per connection has gotten a bad name for performance which is pretty false. You can create the exact same underlying abstraction with green threads for more concurrency when you absolutely need it (but mostly you don't). The code we get from not using async is reduced in complexity substantially.

I'm disappointed that django is on the async bandwagon. It means that I may have to make another framework choice in the future.

I think there is a case to be made for a kind of "public utility" infrastructure for the distribution and storage of scholarly work given how

1. cheap it is, considering the size of the institutions that produce and benefit from them.

2. absurdly broken the private publishing industry has become.
That's standard operating procedure in a whole lot of industries where proper torque is mission critical. If you ever find yourself near high precision manufacturing or industrial lifting equipment (think hooks and lifting eyes where a crane picks a load up) you can't miss the torque marks on bolt heads and/or nuts.
Does anyone know of any efforts or fora encouraging innovation in the "scienceness" of content? I'm picturing a pipeline from science research, to exploratory/researchy content creation, to deliverable content creation, where the middle bit gets little attention. For examples...

Most intro astronomy content, K thru undergrad, gets the color of the Sun either simply wrong, or handles it misleadingly. Resulting in even first-tier astronomy graduate students likely knowing it wrong. Clips from Tappity show false color photos and art of the Sun. Which if not handled carefully, is setting kids up for this morass of common misconceptions around Sun color. What might "handled carefully" look like? Good question. Do you know of any context where that gets discussed?

Similarly, the Tappity "exploded" layers of Earth graphic[3] is variously misleading and aphysically colored (better than many). Which is pervasive for such graphics. Do you know of any community which might say "variants of this common graphic abound, variously wrong - let's put in the collaborative effort necessary to create one correct, and open license it"?

Education content for kids often says the Sun warms the Earth. But that's only half the story, and I've never seen content which does the whole. Earth is doing a bbq roll between too hot Sun and too cold deep space. Even young kids might grasp the concept that with something uncomfortably hot, and another uncomfortably cold, you can attain comfort by alternating. But we don't say that. Does anyone know of a setting for "here is a commonly taught story that's incomplete - let's create exemplar content that fills it out"? Cold at night, at altitude, with cloudless skys, especially when dry... it's a story that's actionable, if not cut short.

Chemistry education content is famously bad. Chem ed research describes it using adjectives like incoherent, leaving both teachers and students steeped in misconceptions. But now XR content is coming. And some of it is nifty. But much of it is the usual wretched, now in 3D.

There seems a body of badly needed effort and work, very poorly incentivized, that's not getting well addressed. Do these examples bring to mind any efforts to address this need? Thanks!

That would be more credible if it was the same in all cars; it is not (see the source).
We live in Mammoth Lakes and are in the wilderness almost every day. Whether it’s avalanches, thunderstorms, or something else, the risk and beauty go hand in hand out there.

And tesla does not prevent someone from buying a Tesla that is brand new, and selling it.

> because Tesla doesn't allow it.

False. it would be perfectly legal to immediately sell a new tesla that you just purchased. That would be a brand new tesla.

Thats brand new, that would be no different than buying from tesla.

> I was saying that Android is a viable alternative to iOS,

Apple has ~50% of the market share in the US. Anti trust law does not require a literal, singular monopoly, in order for certain anti-competitive behavior to be illegal. Instead, 50% of the market, is within the realm of when certain behavior can become illegal.

> If the policies of iOS are not to your liking

If the policies are anti-competitive, then Apple can be sued for having illegal policies, due to their market share. 50% of the market, is wihin the realm where anti-competitive practices become illegal.
I can't help but think that the whole thing is playing out exactly like Epic had hoped.

After Apple kicked Fortnite from the iOS store, there was an outcry of people who had previously spent money on it through Apple's in-app purchases and now wanted a refund.

Some of those users switched to playing Fortnite on a laptop or Android phone instead, but of course they were still using Sign in with Apple if they had originally created their account and paid for items on iOS. Apple is now locking out those users.

So I predict another wave of upset users, this time it'll be the people that purchased through Apple and were then attempting to play elsewhere.

Meanwhile, Epic now has a very good reason to collect a working email address from every past iOS customer, which they can immediately use to offer the customer a 20% rebate on future purchases if they buy directly through Epic and circumvent the Apple tax.

Plus as an added benefit, Japan has now started an antitrust investigation against Apple after various smaller Japanese game studios (most of them Unreal Engine customers) have come out in support of Epic:
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-09-03/apple-app...

And lastly, the combination of pressure on Epic together with the looming iOS14 update have made iOS a lot less attractive for mobile game studios, most of whom traditionally used advertisements to subsidize free players:

the "official" part is a piece of clear plastic, which is probably acrylic, which melts around 160C. (it could be something else, but it's transparent and there's no reason to make it transparent other than that's what's cheap. and making transparent non-acrylic plastics isn't cheap)

Inspectors of finished works
I looked into using Selenium, but it seems like you have to download an 80 MB executable. If you noticed above, I also posted JavaScript that you could run in the browser that you already have. It seemed like a better way to go. I admit Selenium does have some useful features, too.
Unfortunately it's more the opposite - literally cutting this corner would be not bothering with the extra material that's presumably there to keep the strap off the heatsink, i.e. so giving it a wider corner.

It looks like a bit of a bodge, but plenty of that goes on, and the less automated a process the more it will happen. (Because if highly automated it's more difficult/expensive vs. ditching the problem unit, or waiting for the designed-in part rather than re-tool.)
And don't forget if you offer sign-in with G or F, and you don't add Sign in with A, you'll be in violation as well.

AnoProof works by appending a signature based on a hash of your message, to your message itself, signed by a secret key, with the public key encoded into the signature itself. This utilizes SHA256, Elliptic Curve asymmetric cryptography (ED25519), and a custom base-256 encoding scheme to ensure that signatures fit within half a tweet. This whole message, for example, was signed with AnoProof

>The iron rod started out being 1 meter long, and now it's 0.952 meters long. In what sense did it not shrink?

In the sense that it did not become 0.952 meters long. It didn't "become" anything - it did not change at all. The universe grew around it, or perhaps "underneath" it. More space appeared for it to exist in. It's like putting an iron rod in a 10 meter square house, then moving the walls out another meter.

Edit: let me phrase this another way. Let's imagine that you and I were pulling on the bar at either end. We could pull it forever and ever and it would never come apart (unless it rusted and became brittle or something, but let's imagine it doesn't). That's because we aren't putting in enough force to overcome the forces which are holding it together. Well, the expansion of the universe is putting like 10^-20 times less force into it than our arms would be.
> Not it's not.

It really is. Just because some people have a uncanny propensity to mix concerns that shouldn't be mixed, that doesn't mean that a data structure is something else.
That’s what it says on paper but there is a lot written about management’s capture of the levers of control. They sit on the boards, set each others salaries, and recommend each other for their boards. Shares are automatically voted the way the board chooses unless specifically voted the other way. Institutional investors typically have a hands-off attitude toward corporate governance issues leaving activists as the only ones who can hold management’s feet to the fire.
Yes! Also American Alpine Journal accident reports.

The problem with that model is that as was previously said, the electromagnetic, nuclear, and gravitational forces easily countermand the expansion on non-inter-galactic scales, to the point of not being measurable on the scale of a meter. Ultimately the molecular structure of your meter-stick is determined by various structure constants that aren’t changing, so the expansion can’t affect it unless it starts ripping bonds apart.
Besides looking like a kid's go-cart, I think it's bad in the sense that cars go through safety testing and are governed by a ton of rules and regulations, and it's unlikely they've tested the cars with parts scrounged from Home Depot.

Assuming it's safe, then the worst part, for Tesla, is probably just the terrible optics. It's one thing for a do-it-yourselfer to hack their own car, but I suspect nobody really wants to drop $60k on a new car that's hacked together.
Absolutely!

I want to add an API too.
