What would be the benefit for Social Networks?

Their metrics are active monthly users and ad revenue. The more buzz is going on, the better for them.

They will sometimes have to delete the most obvious fake accounts, yeah, but besides that they couldn't be more happy when fans of the People’s Front of Judea have virtual battles with the fans of Judeas Front of People (i know the joke, but I don't know it in English, just German, hope this translation is correct).

All of that generates just more buzz, drives people to the platform, generates clicks, pageviews, ad revenue.

Social Networks will always only do the bare minimum to fulfill (the rather low) requirements of the law and let the rest flow...

I am pretty sure that the darknet users would use something better if it was available. In what ways is it insufficient?
From what various related sources have said, the defense budget is miniscule compared to the offense one. I get the feeling anyone on the defense team is someone unlikely to try and oppose what else is going on

Why do you think they aren't collecting these exploits for more domestic surveillance?

I should clarify that I see nothing wrong in solving a problem people don’t realize they have, and to be fair, this is what startups often do. However, many/most developers see marketing and sales as something unnecessary, eg. “How hard can it be”. And they realize that it’s pretty damn hard when it’s already too late.

The problem is that the preprint assumes the "Classical Schrödinger equation" (Eq 6). Is that an usual name? And then after a few steps get the uncertainty principle.

But once you use the Schrödinger equation, the abstract commutation rules for the position and momentum operators are defined. And from these rules it is possible to deduct the uncertainty principle.

The details of the calculations are not important, you will reach the uncertainty principle anyway, because it is hidden in the Schrödinger equation.
Do you have a source for that?

I'm running Arch on a "professional" HP ProBook with secure boot activated. This laptop has no official linux support whatsoever from HP. It's fairly recent, too – 2018 I think.

The bios allowed me set up my own keys which I use to sign the kernel. A fun fact is that with the way it is setup currently, I refuses to boot windows because of the... wrong signature!
It’s just a matter of careful wording. Instead of “you clicked on <bad source>” just say “the source linked was bad”.
The dogs in Penumbra: Overture can be killed with just the pickaxe - it's a bit akward due to the controls but not too hard. Not sure about the spiders, but they are only a small part. The giant worm is unkillable afaik but it's only there for one chase sequence.

Definitely takes the edge off the horror aspect when you figure that out. But then again, I like both the Penumbra series, Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs and SOMA more as exploration/puzzle games with a scary atmosphere than for the actual horror aspect.
194MWh would be a lot for you but it's not enough for this context. Suppose it's dark for just 10 hours. 194MWh over ten hours is 19.4MW which is enough to power a small town.

The primary purpose of that Tesla battery is to manage short-term discrepancies, it can do 200MW power output for ten minutes without problems and that's enough time for relatively slow standby systems to spin up.

To give a comparison hydro storage systems of 10GWh (almost two orders of magnitude more) are totally a thing. Why didn't Australia buy one of those? Well the problem is geography, the hydro storage needs a mountain because what it's really storing is gravitational potential energy, and er, that bit of Australia is a bit flat.
Right, I understand the concept. What I'm saying is that a safety barrier that sometimes doesn't work is better than rails that always guide you off a cliff; which is currently the YouTube model.

Another problem is that most developers using GC languages seem to keep failing at learning that there are other means to manage memory in GC languages, but writing new is so easy...
Deepfake 2.0: create full body fakes on any photo from one selfie in 0.1 seconds
I want to show you what I spent the last two years of my life on: the next generation of Deepfake, which can generate "fakes" from one selfie only. In contrast to the old good one, the 2.0 version generates not only the face, but the entire head, hair, adjusts the skin tone and even the bodyshape. Moreover, the new technology can be applied to any photo, not only to the built-in one.
It has way too much text when compared with the shared book which jumps straight to the point.

Actually, it’s not. The archiving standard is PDF/A, which is (as I understand it) much more structured and standardized.

You know none, and I know several (and used to have that habit myself - I walked past the Starbucks every day on the way to work and would drop in and grab a drink), but the truth lies in the data: Starbucks' gross revenue is more than 25 billion dollars a year. Their US revenue would be 12 cups per year spread across all of the 150 million coffee drinkers in the US, but you already know it's not distributed that way - ergo, there is a heavy tail of frequent Starbucks consumers who purchase daily or more.
That's not strictly true. Eating (extremely) locally has lower costs with regards to at least packaging and transportation. As an added benefit eating in-season foods means that industry, regardless of size will conform to a cheaper form of growth and cropping.

> building a solution that instrumentation authors can use to manage the propagation of context both synchronous and asychronous

The bigger problem I’ve had - with OpenCensus - is managing the context within my application using async code, where I want to add interior spans and also call libraries which are creating spans themselves.

Do your plans include these scenarios? Am I an “instrumentation author” here?

There is really no way to make anything related to ThreadLocals work with “async” code, and the simplest most reliable solution we have found is to treat the Context as a method parameter. Looking at https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-java/issues/... I worry that more layers of indirection will be added, not less.

Ask HN: Recommendations for physical intrusion detection in pastures
Hello HN, hope you're doing well!

There's a wave of horse mutilations in France, Germany and Belgium. I am directly concerned by this, as such incident happened this week close to where my horse lives.

We stood watch last night, but it's immediately become clear that we can't do that every night. Also, we can't afford a night guard, it's too expensive and this wave could last for years (it's been over a year in France).

I'd like to setup some kind of intrusion detection and alerting in the pastures. It is a wide open area, and animals regularly move around in there. Horses, obviously, but also rabbits, foxes, birds etc.

So far we are considering cameras, but that is going to be an expensive solution, and we need to be alerted only when humans are around.

I'm at a loss so far. Tired, also, haven't slept tonight.

We need this deployed as soon as possible, every day matters. I'm willing to take any quick and dirty solution. We have manpower to install equipment, and some money (but not that much) to get equipment. I can also administer infrastructure and develop custom software, so feel free to suggest anything.

Cheers folks!

I feel like this author is just selecting facts and hypothesizing motivations to squint a narrative into existence.

For example, empires have always existed and feared plagues, which are a big reason for political instability.

If not for modern medicine, it's not as though the main criticism that it enables systematic exclusion wouldn't have happened. The author forgets or is ignorant to the fact that the ancients and much of the ancient and medieval world thought that a person's nature comes from the place and climate they grew up in. To the extent that modern medicine enables exclusion, it is much more limited than the ancient conception of it. If this is happening on a larger scale in the past it is because today's states have more control over their citizenry than in the past.

> In the Hippocratic text Airs, Waters, Places, the soul is thought of as the place of courage or, as the case may be, its opposite: in the case of lowland inhabitants, courage and endurance are not in their souls by nature, but must be instilled by law (ch. 23); similarly in benign climates, men are fleshy, ill-jointed, moist, without endurance and weak in soul (ch. 24).

Perhaps the author should have discussed medicine starting from modern medicine and germ theory. Then the narrative would make more sense, since it seems to be that it is antiquated and racist ideas of health combined with empire that has changed (modern) medicine. Instead, the author tries to portray modern medicine (in contrast with ancient medicine) as a multiplier in enabling exclusion.

> emerged a radical idea, for the time: that people would react similarly to a particular medicine regardless of who (noble, poor, free, bound, man, woman, child, rural, urban) or where (Europe, Americas, Asia) they were

> The medical revolutions of the next two centuries cloaked these early modern logics in new vocabularies and technologies but did little to displace them from expectations shaping the forms of health care to come.

Is this really the case? In my experience as a patient doctors are always aware that symptoms may indicate any number of diseases with any number of treatment plans that need to take into account pre-existing conditions and allergies.

> it also enables differences in outcomes to be explained away as natural, physiological, or behavioral rather than byproducts of the violent, unequal circumstances of their development. Those are both legacies of the early modern shift toward viewing people as patients.

See: ancient conception of a person's nature. They are legacies of something more ancient than that.

It's ironic that on the sidebar is a suggested article that begins like this:

> What Is Medicine For?

> In place of the hype over personalized medicine, we need a more sober evaluation of the meaning of health and health care.
As a more realistic example, I think you can buy locally grown tomatoes in Finland all year round these days, or if not at least pretty close to it. A large portion of them are grown in Närpes, where day length dips below 5 hours in December. Keeping those greenhouses lit and warm is in no way ecological.

Huh. That would make classic LCG PRNGs pretty useless. I guess it's "safer" in that it prevents rare dangerous edge cases at the expense of common everyday safe operations, but that's a tradeoff.

What does a specific extension's license have to do with VS Code? The only argument I can see is that they should be going back to all their old corporate contracts and renegotiating them to allow open source, but that's hardly a problem with VS Code.

I can release an extension with whatever license I want.

With cars that turn out to be defective, in Germany the authorities can issue mandatory recalls and notices to owners of cars of the recalled model.

If I borrowed a book at a library or read a scientific study that has been later proven to be wrong or outright misleading, yes I would like to be notified of that.

You're mostly right, although people tend to hold VSCode up as an example and I don't personally find it to be fast app but it's fast in the context of Electron apps.
> because changing a setting didn't work

That's not why. I've been a Mac developer for 14 years and a Mac user for longer. I've seen the Mac platform enfeebled, dismantled, locked down before my eyes. The conclusion didn't follow from the blog post, it followed from my long-running frustration.

Mac software doesn't grow on trees. It needs people like me, who care deeply about this "niche". But people like me are a dying breed. You can have (the illusion of) a "secure" platform, but eventually you'll be left with nothing except apps ported from iOS. At that point, what's the Mac except an extremely overpriced iPad?
This looks really nice for putting together tests after completing some functionality.
> We’ll be renting our syntax highlighting if they think people will tolerate it

Again, go look at the LSP.

There are already alternative IDEs that are compatible with VS Code extensions. You can use the exact same community written syntax highlighting extension in a different IDE without touching any Microsoft code at all...
Sure they do, but mostly for natural gas. The capacity in the US and around the world is enormous.
Interesting how they reiterate over and over how right-wing media proliferates on the platform but imply that centrist/liberal propaganda does not. Is there evidence of this?

I see that is smaller than the other races, is more vulnerable to predators, have health issues if moved to pastures, and produces less wool (being smaller) and meat with a high iodine content.

This supports my former idea that there are serious obstacles to scale this solution to continental areas with the purpose of feeding people.

Would be interesting to see their results and publications about that, then.
A Neverending Story
There is a compiler option to disable overflow/underflow checks, so unless the overflow is in some library outside your control, it's not actually an issue.
Not really, as the paper itself says. It's been documented for MERS and SARS. COVID-19 is special with its higher likelihood of such problems and presence of immune infiltration of the infected heart, which causes more problems than the above two.

It's much less discriminating in the kind of ACE2 receptor it uses to enter cells, meaning it can infect many more organs effectively and also spread more effectively, including zoonotic spread.

I'd like to see if general ACE inhibitors do anything to it.
I strongly disagree. Having taught mathematics to many computer science students, virtually any mathematics course in which students need to write a proof is invaluable, regardless of content. While I agree that discrete mathematics is more applicable than some other parts of mathematics, I think that the real value mathematics provides to programmers is the skill to think through and reason out complicated problems.

Teaching a mathematically literate student about a discrete mathematics concept when they need or want to know it is quick and easy. Forcing students to take subjects they may not find interesting is a sure way to set them up for failure.
