"However, the filing of an SAR does not require the bank to cease doing business with the client in question."

This feels broken. Was this intended to prevent competitors from falsely filing SARs against each other to freeze their business? What are the penalties for abusing this system?
It’s not normal to write draft legislation. It is normal to have a legislative affairs office that works with Congress on all sorts of things but to propose draft legislation is weird. Agencies typically try to avoid doing this as it could adversely impact their funding moving forward. Why fund an agency that already has enough money to fund a lobbying arm? It’s a norm more than a rule but it’s a thing in my experience.
Try making your important goals rewarding. If they are not, try adding some artificial reward to them.
Actually, Eq. (9) follows from (7), or (12) follows from (11) using HUP. Of course, we cant get the Schrodinger equation without HUP. But the classical Schrodinger equation uses only the length scales. It is when deriving the quantum Schrodinger equation from the classical Schrodinger equation, that HUP is applied. Also, GR does not use HUP. I derived HUP in an earlier paper from Newtonian gravity without using QM. I showed here if the Riemann tensor in GR was zero, position and momentum would commute, thereby yielding no QM.

You at least see how hypocritical that is, right? The Western world got to fulfill our gluttonous desires -- now, when it comes time for the developing world to get their turn at the table, we wag our fingers and say "Sorry, that's bad for the planet!"

You controlled your response, but you likely had little to no control over that initial “moment of anger”, which is my point.
That was a standard system in the magazine trade back then. It was part of the service to advertisers. They would collect all the queries for each advertiser every month and pass them on.

Those ads were unbelievably lucrative. Each page cost thousands of dollars, and there were hundreds and hundreds of them, plus smaller classifieds. Freelancers were paid fairly generously, but that outgoing was a drop in the ocean compared to the monthly ad income. Byte was posting profits of around $10m/year in the 80s.

Edit to add: many readers saw the ads as informative rather than intrusive and distracting. This was partly because many were creative and fun, but also because they went into far more technical detail than you'd see today, so they were almost a supplement to the official written copy.

The law instructs them to write the rules / guidance.It’s their responsibility to then do that and we fund them to do that.

Agencies don’t get funded to write the law that gives them the mandate to write the regulation. That’s a classic bureaucratic self-licking ice cream cone.
Given that you can give a laundry list that includes Nazi advocacy, ChapoTrapHouse Hamas' Twitter account, And Mila Yanniopolis, it seems the attempts to censor aren't really working.

Hypothesis: it's the opposite. The era of bidirectional mass communication is allowing geographically-dispersed fringe interests to consolidate into political blocs. Interest groups that previously would have been censored implicitly (by being a small, isolated group in a larger community) or explicitly (by the authority-controlled media, such as cable, television, and radio, having standards and practices that excluded giving pedophiles a half hour to plead the pro-side of their case on the air) now have the tools to communicate with each other and the public outside of gatekeepers.

FYI, Project and Visio in particular aren't part of the subscription model. They aren't actually available as part of any of the consumer Office subscriptions, so they're offered as one-time purchases of the Project/Visio 2019 software, same as the old HUP model.

That said, they're also not available by default. The FAQ[1] page mentions your HUP/IT Admin needs to explicitly set up your HUP to enable these product discounts.

I think the implication is more that Facebook massively under-moderates and is basically unable to moderate in vast parts of the world. I think you'd see equally disastrous results if they had barely any moderators who could speak English or knew American culture and current events.
I think being able to tell the difference would have to be answered by solving the information loss problem. Because otherwise, every property is either dependent on or constrained only by the mass. And yes, even if they were antimatter black holes eating matter, it wouldn't matter because all the energy from the resulting annihilation would just stay in the black hole and due to mass-energy equivalence nothing would be different to the outside observer.
Home Use Program was great for so long I got used to it. There is no way I'd switch to a subscription, esp as no useful functionality is ever added.
How about this: I was on a dairy feedlot a week ago, watching them make rations. The ingredients going in included:

- Alfalfa hay (a legume crop which improves the soil)

- Corn & triticale silage (chop up the ENTIRE field, stalk, cob, and all, then ferment it a bit to improve digestibility)

- Corn cannery waste (all the leftovers after they make canned corn for people)

- Waste onions (cattle love these, they'll root through the whole ration to find them)

- Apple waste (pulp left over after squeezing apple juice)

- Potato waste (leftovers from processing potatoes for, that's right, people)

- Pea meal (broken bits of dried peas left over from processing for humans)

- Hop pellets (after breweries have used them for beer)

- Canola meal (leftover from making canola oil)

- They may have been feeding brewery waste grain, but I don't remember for sure

The first two are the only ones specifically produced for cattle. One of them improves the soil in a crop rotation, and the other is a pretty damn efficient use of plant matter vs. anything humans consume. They constitute a pretty good chunk of the ration, to be sure, but I do think HN tends to assume cattle are just fed big buckets of corn seed & wheat.

btw, I was visiting the feedlot, but they weren't just blowing smoke for the city slicker... I had worked there a decade ago, making the rations, and I fed all the same stuff then.

edit: there are effective software tools for building rations based on your particular nutrition goals, so there are dozens of different rations being made any given day. If the cannery doesn't ship any corn waste for a while, you just adjust the other ingredients until you hit your same target nutrition without it. It's impressive stuff.

IIRC the original doc (and xls) formats were unwieldy mainly because of performance requirements. In order to save and load fast they were basically a bunch of binary dumped structs.
In my experience this is not at all normal. Any more examples off-hand if agencies writing draft legislation? Not talking rulemaking, talking actual law. Would happily be proven wrong here but it’s something I have actively seen agencies avoid in the past, so I’m curious where you’ve seen this kind of overt draft legislation written.

This is a fair question.

A set of random tosses of a coin (even if the coin is partially biased) is expected to produce a mix of heads and tails outcomes. The random toss here could be human error or undiscovered bugs.

On the other hand, the international order is relatively old. There is no ageism in geopolitics, just ask Henry Kissinger. Established social and political affinities exist, globally. No assumption whatsoever is made regarding an existing, international, and powerful network of individuals and organizations.

Given that such networks exist, and that the stakeholders are indeed powerful individuals and organizations, and further that this case is shining a spotlight on their manipulating social institutions under their control, in a case where an individual is being prosecuted for publishing material detrimental to these powerful interests, no assumption is required to consider the high probability of their use of their power (which is the entire purpose of gaining power, btw) to insure their position, their actions, and their criminal behavior, is kept hidden from the majority.

> The world has moved on now and most programmers are duct taping parts together so unit testing no longer has a place in this world.

Even on business-domain level components there are often simple routines which can and should be tested. Larger routines should be built up from smaller ones. Divide-and-conquer is a fundamental engineering principle.

If there are no such small-enough-to-be-tested routines, then the code is not being written with testing in mind. If all your functions are hundreds of lines long, then yeah it's hard to write unit tests!

This is true, but your statement makes it sound like it's unusual. In the USA there are a lot of beaches you can drive on. When there are endangered species they usually block it for certain location or certain times of year. For example, in New England you can't drive on the beach in the summer, but you can all other seasons. All other times they have it roped of to protect the piping plover nests. In Florida you can almost all year round.
I think you’re right.

But what people don’t realize is the the rich and the even the upper class aren’t stuck with this country and generally don’t feel much allegiance to it. They can benefit from lax regulation and low taxes and political turbulence and simply leave when things get out of control. It’s fun watching elites squirm but they have an exit plan. Most Americans can’t. They don’t have the skills or the money to go anywhere else. Using your politics to troll the elites is very much an example of cutting off your nose to spite your face. I wonder how long it’ll take for people to realize that.
It wouldn't look like a cosmic ray to a physicist; that was a simplification.

It would leave a trail of wreckage behind it that, on a micro-scale, would look somewhat similar to that of a super-high-energy cosmic ray. A hole that large is large enough to swallow large numbers of atoms, and wrench the remaining ones out of position; that would look not too different from the damage you'd get if you sat in the way of a particle accelerator, at least very close to the path of the hole.

I'm not sure what would happen to you if one fell straight through you, but I suspect you'd be fine. (Unlike the particle accelerator, there wouldn't be much secondary radiation.)

Don't quote me on that, though. And don't try it at home, either.
The answer is somewhere in the middle, is it not? I am in the camp that we've over indexed on meat products in the weest(we eat too much of it) but I also believe that knife cuts both ways.

Humans evolved eating meat - just a whole lot less of it than we do today. It was a luxury, something you got once in a while, when an animal could be caught. I believe if we all went back to this intake level (90% vegetarian) we, and the planet, would be better off.
I am still a fan of it, especially when it comes to building an IT driven organization. I take it as an example for pitching a terminology repository whenever possible.
Interesting concept. So you propose to have a landing page with a selection of videos tailored to the taste of the visitor? And seamless combining results from YouTube, Vimeo and others?

You would be effectively relegating YouTube to a commoditized CDN for videos.

Again, interesting concept.
Not sure if you really want to crawl and make suggestions based on that. It might be better to let people self host videos and essentially provide your service with an RSS feed of videos with some metadata provided.

I agree that unit tests become the end all be all for many developers. For web development, I have gotten into a good pattern, where we have some reasonable unit tests. Then on the api, we have Postman tests that run on CI using the Neuman npm. Then for e2e tests, we use GhostInspector, which can also run in your ci pipeline. We do two sets of tests in Ghost, a set that are pretty happy path, and then some really complex ones that run between different sites etc. The first set run during CI, and if they break, then the build is broken. The others, we don't cause the build to break, as they are a bit more brittle.
At first I downvoted you.

Then I realized that this is a stupid way to have a discussion, so here's my reply instead.

I would love to see a specific example of "conservative fabricated outrage". Not because I haven't seen any in my life, but to align our understandings of the fabricated outage.

The most recent one is probably that with a new supreme court judge nomination. Here's what I managed to find out:

- according to [1] rejecting a supreme court nominee from the opposite party is a relatively rare, but not completely outstanding event. Last time (ignoring current senate) it happened when Reagan nominated Bork in 1987.

- in "good olde times" senate minority could use filibuster to block the unacceptable nominee. This option has been eliminated by Harry Reid in 2013. All McConnell did was to keep the status quo.

- current situation is in no way unique: over the history of USA 29 times supreme court judges were nominated in election year. In case of aligned senate 17 nominations out of 19 were confirmed. In case of a misaligned senate 2 out of 10 nominations were confirmed.

- in 2016 dems have brought up some very good arguments to why having just 8 judges is problematic and why the president should nominate a judge as soon as possible (even in election year). I personally think these arguments were exceptionally reasonable and they still hold in 2020: the president should indeed nominate a judge as soon as possible

Your turn?

Keys to Getting Stakeholders on Board for a CX Revamp
The main effect is that you can convert from an unsigned number to a signed number and it will do what you would expect from a two's complement representation. Previously this was undefined behaviour (not even just implementation defined!) if the value was greater than would fit in the signed type. This was true even if you were doing an explicit cast, so doing the conversion in a safe way was notoriously fiddly. [1]

Converting signed to unsigned had always been fine, all the way back to C89 I believe. That was specified as being converted modulo 2^N, which matches what happens naturally with two's complement, even on architectures that aren't. (With the change in C++20 the wording for this conversion is simplified, but the effect is unchanged.)

The introduction of the proposal [2] lists some other changes and non-changes. It mentions that demanding wrapping behaviour in arithmetic operations had been a goal of the proposal but there was strong resistance to it so it was dropped. One thing that stands out is that right shift of negative numbers is now defined as sign-extended rather than undefined behaviour, which I think had probably caught a lot of people out in the past. Oddly, it mentions signed to unsigned conversion as a change even though it's effectively the same as before, and signed to unsigned isn't mentioned in the introduction at all even though that's a major change. The rest are mainly to do with representations e.g. if you're memcopying to or from signed numbers.

> Banks and other financial institutions file SARs when they believe a client is using their services for potential criminal activity.

It sounds like banks file SARs about their own clients. I'm guessing they don't have to cease doing business with the client because that would create an incentive not to file SARs.

Most discussion and arbitration about testing comes down to the anemic way programmers talk about interfaces.

We say all the right stuff, but then skimp on the details. "Program to the interface, not the implementation!" Oh, but, what then is the interface?

An interface should be understood as the minimal set of things one may expect to be true about some collection of related abstract types.

- The methods for creating/introducing and destroying/eliminating values at these abstract types
- The expectations around identity (memory model as relevant)
- Universal properties that must hold (for *all* situations like this, the following will hold)

Test specification is a component of naming your interfaces. In that sense, it's wild that test specifications don't live in the same place as interfaces most of the time.

Note that test specifications are not necessarily executable. I can say "for all integers n and m, n x m = m x n" as a test specification, knowing that this is probably not feasible to actually test exhaustively. A test implementation may be partial, limited.

The point of this is that it translates the question of "what test should I write?" into "how do I design interfaces, the expectations I allow of users?". The latter is a dramatically better thing to be spending your time thinking about. In my opinion, it subsumes something like 80% of the discussions people have around testing best practices.

I actually see this is a really important factor, and the people who are doing it are kind of like Bruce Willis in the sixth sense. It's so easy to rationalize as "being informed".

As an American, I doubt it's a main factor in the US as well.

Xenophobia, racism, and war are deeply routed in the culture, and date far before 9/11. We're simply witnessing the culmination of the slow erosion of checks and balances over centuries, which has exposed the raw flaws that have existed since the beginning.
