Simply paying for cattle that wolves have eaten isn't enough. Wolves induce panic in herds, causing them to go over cliffs or trample down fences and cross busy roads, causing accidents. In Germany this isn't currently paid for by the state, because the law doesn't say so, the causality is hard to prove (basically you need a piece of flesh with a wolve's dental pattern) and the farmer is often first in line and goes bancrupt, because damage to the vehicles was done by his sheep/cows/whatever, not the wolves directly.

Also, grazing cattle outside is desirable for better land use (usually grassland isn't good for much else) and keeping the current state of ecosystems (without grazing, bushes and trees will take over). Also, regions where cattle is grazed are typically also tourist hotspots, but cattle frequently scared by wolves is much more aggresive towards hikers. So basically, wolves screw over a lot more than just the few cows they eat...
> > Yes, you are speculating that pindab0ter would think the enforcement action was related to the CoC

> That's not what I said.

Yes it is, you literally just said "I think pindab0ter would agree that it was improper enforcement of the CoC". See, you said "enforcement of the CoC". As in, CoC was the thing that was being enforced. Now you're trying to claim that "enforcement" was not related to "the CoC" in that sentence? Wow.

If you took a random person off the street, showed them that sentence, and then asked "what was being enforced", any English speaking person would be able to identify "CoC" as the thing that was being enforced (albeit it was enforced improperly). So clearly, in that sentence, the enforcement action was in some way related to the CoC. I don't know what kind of mental gymnastics you're trying to pull by claiming that the sentence means something else.

> You seem to be focused on detailed differences in meaning but missing the thrust of these arguments. You claimed Scotsman fallacy to a perceived specific meaning of the sentence, but it didn't fit in context. In general you seem to be not aware of the contextual meaning of what anybody has said here.

Look, I was trying to be nice earlier when I said that you and I interpret pindab0ter's words in a different way, and that we should leave it at that. I don't actually think your interpretation is plausible. I think it's obvious to anyone who read the original comments in context, that pindab0ter didn't consider OP to be an example of "weaponizing a CoC". You can play word games all day long and talk down in a condescending tone, but I don't know what you're hoping to achieve with that.
The purpose of hunting is to acquire food. Wolves are not food animals, nor are they any longer competition for us.

There's no evidence that wolf populations would explode if not managed by humans, so controlling them seems premature. There is plenty of evidence though that wolves help manage ruminant populations which do explode out of control without their natural predator, which just so happens to do a better job at it than us (see deer populations in eastern US).

That link isn't directly about wealth distribution, more about how its distributed.

And given my own biases, I'm not surprised about the results. The Works Progress Administration built a lot of infrastructure we still depend on today with unemployed people. Until we get to the point where all our roads, bridges, airports, etc are looking as good as the ones you find in other parts of the world, underpaying healthy people to run asphalt machines for 20 hours a week (or whatever), or provide childcare, gives us a return on the basic societal need to keep people from starving.
If someone was killing my pets, while paying me reasonable compensation, I would also be pissed off at the arrangement.

Hardware-Based Always-On Heap Memory Safety [pdf]
GitHub pages is really just a hosting service for Jekyll. My website is getting close to the maximum size for GitHub pages anyway (the limit is only 1 GB). Medium is unworkable for too many reasons.

I started out writing my webpage in HTML, and if you dig around you can find my old GeoCities page, but plain HTML suffers from some problems that make it high-friction for posting frequent updates. So you start adding a simple templating system. Maybe at first it’s just a header and footer you stick on to every page. Then you start adding indexes so you don’t have to update index.html every time you write a blog post. Your plain HTML starts getting more and more complicated, and it starts relying on some kind of library of scripts which you are now maintaining.

That’s what happens if you dive straight into it and use whatever technology is simplest to understand. I think most people would be better off picking a static website generator, to be honest.

(Also: When I started posting content to my website, Jekyll didn’t exist.)
noun: colonization; plural noun: colonizations; noun: colonisation; plural noun: colonisations

- the action of appropriating a place or domain for one's own use.
How does that work? If the water is being used by the industrial facilities then the water pressure/flow rate would drop.

Unless the facilities are adding dirty water to the pipe to push pressure back up after they remove it? But even then, unless they routed the pipe from the water treatment facility to the industry first, only the areas downstream from the industry would be affected.

More likely is that the water is not being adequately treated and/or that the infrastructure is not built/maintained and the pipes are leaky.

My guess would be that the treatment is to minimum spec and that there are leaky pipes which allow for contamination. It is hard to maintain pumped water pressure if there are brownouts.

There may be need for a replacement with simpler syntax; i wonder if GraphQL might be used in that role.

Out of curiosity, what tools do you use for scraping? Is there a similar simple tool for defining queries over trees?
I don't think so - because the ranchers would still bear all of the costs of the problem of having wolves exist. Insurance doesn't transfer costs to the whole group that benefits from the existence of wolves. Having the costs come from the public purse seems like a good way to do that fairly. Although in the case of wolves, it seems like politics seem to play as much or more of a role than fairness.
The Voting Suppression Tipping Point
I think you absolutely, grossly underestimate what kinds of areas we're talking about. Not to mention that fences then stop movement of other animals(also including wolves) which has massive impacts on ecosystems. Also, if you ever had a dog, you know that no kind of fence will stop a sufficiently determined dog unless you make it out of solid metal and 10ft tall(and even then my dog would just dig under it, so be prepared to have to bury it few feet under the ground too).
> to all wild species

To all native wild species. Very big difference. This combined with a larger budget to fight invasive species and plants would be amazing.

The info page goes deeply in the details and it's overwhelming.
Large fences big enough to keep wolves out have a lot of other knock on effects and are very expensive. Barbed wire is extremely cheap and is enough to generally contain grazing livestock contained but a lot of wildlife can freely move around them meaning their habitat doesn't get cut up and cut off from itself. A tall fence buried deep enough to keep wolves from digging under would be very expensive.
gcloud = GCP in this context, yes.

GCP could definitely be a good product and a real competitor to AWS/Azure given Google's technical expertise. Given Google's recent track-record though it isn't clear that the vision is there.
> The law recognizes that the account holder owns the content of the account

Yes, because the money being deposited is already owned by the account holder, banks would not exist if the bank became the owner of the money deposited, such an arrangement makes no sense. However, banks are within their rights to close your account at any time for any reason, they just have to make sure you get your money back. If you're suggesting that websites should be required to "return your data", that seems reasonable to me.

This happens all the time in real sports. If you get caught cheating you often forfeit your legacy because everything you've done professionally is suspect, especially if you show a longer-running history of cheating or are caught multiple times.

I'm not sure how you can differentiate the punative nature of banning someone from all future tries because they had cheated indeterminately in the past, but not invalidating all their historical record outside of individiaul cases...

This is not correct. Mailchimp does not require double opt-in. They used to recommend it strongly; now they just give you information about the differences [1]. Also, this only applies to a Mailchimp sign-up form. You can also add contacts manually, via import, or via the API; opt-in is assumed, even if you enable double opt-in.

If your data is centered around zero (i.e. lots of uninteresting data points near zero), why would you want your perceptual peak there? I can't think of any divergent colormap that has this feature. In jet the cyan and yellow regions highlight small deviations from zero, which are usually more interesting than zero itself.

I understand that jet is poor for accessiblity, and I don't use it for that reason, but in my experience jet is used frequently for divergent data and highlighting extreme values. The article's argument for perceptually uniform colormaps in this context is weak to non-existent. Surely roma wouldn't look very good on a photo of Curie.
Looking Back on the Spanish War (George Orwell, 1942)
The 2019 graph shows nicely that the 2019/2020 flu seasons saw a lot of Influenza B cases, which was not as much present in 2018/2019. AFAIK Influenza B has always been the more severe and deadly type of the flu and to skeptics like myself this underlines even more the suspicion that we have falsly attributed a lot of deaths in our last Winter to COVID when it might have been the flu in many cases. Previous studies have already proven that when a patient had tested positive for the flu and COVID that all these cases have been only counted as COVID deaths. Things like this make it problematic to build trust in the wider population and ask people to follow silly rules when there is so much ground for mistrust in the severity of COVID.

Wolves can dig and since ranching in the midwest/northwest requires a lot of acreage, it's difficult to keep a perimeter fence up that's impenetrable by wolves.
> The overhead comes from the lack of granularity - if two transactions change different keys in a map they'll conflict even though in theory they could run simultaneously (and indeed can with a hash table and HTM like TSX).

Can you expand on that? Couldn't Clojure introduce a STM-aware HashMap, why would TSX help?
> Do you carry liability insurance for your company? Have a contract lawyer that you know and use? If not then you are probably not big enough for the major RFPs.

I just wanted to dispute this. I highly recommend carrying liability insurance regardless of size (I'm a single person shop). It's relatively cheap. A million dollar policy will run you just a few hundred bucks. It's a huge protection and also a marketing plus since it acts as a quality indicator.

I also recommend having a contract lawyer, even for single person shops. Again, a little money up front can be a huge time and aggravation saver down the road.

That double opt-in rule is loosely enforced. They'll happily let you import bulk e-mail lists. You have to check a box saying "yes everyone opted in" and that's about it. Your account might get flagged later if enough people report your stuff to MailChimp as spam.
Who pays the premiums?
Actually, I would tend to lean the opposite direction. Our ability to detect cheating tends to go up over time [1], so we can provide more stringent defenses against cheating for future events, in particular by requiring more/better evidence of scores. However, our ability to reanalyze older records for evidence of cheating is often more lacking, and so we have to enter in a default judgement.

If you're dishonest enough to cheat once, why should we expect your other records (both past and future) to be more honest? Once you have been caught cheating, that knowledge colors all of the other records, and you have a stronger burden of proof to demonstrate that those records are indeed valid. If that means that we are stripping you of legitimate records, well, maybe you shouldn't have broken the rules if you didn't want to suffer the punishment.

[1] In absolute terms. Of course, cheaters also get more ways to cheat over time, so the relative capability of cheaters versus anticheat detection will fluctuate over time.
Many athletic all-time greats have been haughty jerks. I wouldn’t say that’s any evidence for or against the high score being authentic.
I'm clicking on your embedded demo that you introduce with Here's what I came up with: and caption "The local audio visualisation. I cycle through bar graph in light mode, bar graph in dark mode, sine wave in dark mode, then sine wave in light mode."

On Chrome, the mute button defaults to the muted state and never responds to a click. Pause/play always works to toggle the animated display with every click.

On Safari, the pause button is unresponsive. The mute button toggles the animated display with every click, and changes state between muted and unmuted. When muted, animation is paused. When unmuted, animation is active. When muted and animation paused, a click on the play button does not change the paused animation state, but does result in the triangle symbol displaying smaller during button down, then restore to larger when button up. Sometimes I can get the play button to work (toggle animation on/off) after clicking in the progress bar a number of times and toggling the animation state that way, after which (sometimes) the play button works, but not always.

Also, the display of controls is different on Chrome than Safari.

Chrome, progress bar is a full width bar underneath the other controls.

Safari, progress bar is in line with the other controls, which include -15 and +15 either side of Play. Those skip controls are not present on Chrome.
I agree with you, and yet at the same time I’m not sure how to word it for the general public so as not to be “tone deaf.” You would almost need to accompany such statements with video, or somehow humanize the actions of the car.

A human driver can feel remorse and/or psychological trauma when someone commits suicide by traffic even if there WAS something they could have done, but didn’t react quickly or appropriately enough. Because of that, we can sympathize with the driver even if, in retrospect, there was some better action they could have taken. Generally we wouldn’t talk to the driver about it, because we understand it was traumatic for the driver. A computer does not get the same benefit of the doubt.
I think it's reasonable to expect that overfitting is on the radar for Waymo (no pun intended) given that 1) their parent/sibling company's expertise in the domain and 2) that they've been extensively training outside of Phoenix both in real-world and simulation.

To continue down this path, I wonder how easy/hard it is for the Waymo "driver" to adjust to driving on the other side of the road.

In Germany, none. Domesticated animals are easier prey (fenced in, not used to predators), and hogs are breeding like a plague, it would take unacceptable amounts of wolves to make a noticable dent.

> But if all reputable members of society decide not to associate with an idea...it's losing in the marketplace.

This seems to highly misrepresent the situation. Actually, the reality is all "reputable members of society" who control a major publishing platform. So that takes the pool of people deciding from hundreds of millions (in the USA) down to like 3 or 4 individuals (depending on how final decision making power is distributed).

> Free speech isn't the right to have everyone listen to every idea. It's the freedom to enter the idea into the marketplace of ideas. But the marketplace of ideas is as cutthroat a business as any other marketplace.

An example of this is getting deplatformed from the few major "marketplace of ideas" platforms. Yes, one "can" "just" move to another platform, or roll your own, but framing this in a manner that overlooks the fact that all other things are not equal seems rather disingenuous, and this occurs extremely frequently on social & mainstream media, which is quite concerning.

It depends on how the pedestrian is violating the rules.

But I hope that AV data will show that AVs are significantly better than human drivers at following pedestrian related rules such as automatically stopping to let pedestrians cross at crosswalks without signal lights. (As a driver, I’ve been guilty of not stopping in many cases myself, sometimes because I don’t look far enough ahead and to the side and notice the person waiting for cars to stop)
I don’t know. I worked in Clojure for several years, and very seldom hit the REPL. I spent most of my exploration time in tests. In TypeScript, I split most of my exploration time between types and tests. Occasionally I hit the Node REPL, or the Chrome console. But doing speculative work in an editor, with all its features, has always felt a lot more productive to me. Maybe that’s why I ended up drifting away from Clojure anyway.

What fun! I guess https support is provided by the real browser since I don't think it was invented 30 years ago.

I tried it with the rclone website and it worked remarkably well. The hackernews website has the right colors and is readable if not laid out exactly how it looks in a modern browser. Google just about works (in German!), though the search popup is unexpected.

However I note the browser doesn't understand "&quot;" "&nbsp;" I wonder when that was standardized.

Amazing how much of those bits of the modern web are usable, if not beautiful.

The semantics is strong with this one. Livestock is a word, it doesn't change what it is. Killing for sport, population control, or any other reason is hunting.
I'm not sure I understand your point of view. Suppose we're on a four-person relay race team, one of our other teammates is cheating, we win the gold medal in the relay race, and the cheating is uncovered.

I live in a suburb in southern California and we don't have wolves, but there are mountain lions around here. They're planning on building a wildlife crossing near us so they can get across the 101 freeway to have a larger range. Which I think they should do.
My website is getting a bit big to shove the entire thing into a Git repo, unfortunately. At the very least I would want to have sparse checkouts.

I’ve thought about Hugo but it might require a serious migration effort. My current website is written in Go templates so I can do something like:

{{.SrcFile "_src.c"}}

And it will read _src.c and set it up to be highlighted using C syntax rules. Leading underscore just means that the file doesn’t get deployed. This is just one example, there are a number of different things I’ve added to my website like this over the years.

Things would be different if I had chosen a static website generator from the start rather than letting things evolve naturally from hand-written HTML files. Currently, what I want to do is get rid of the templating and use DOM manipulation, so I’d write the above like

<src-file src="_src.c" />

Just because it would make editing the files more convenient. Putting something like C source code directly in an HTML file is too much of a bother, and I put a lot of source code in my website, so anything I can do to save time here means I can write more articles. Markdown makes it easier to embed source code but it’s just not good enough to replace HTML for my use case.
Wolves are not livestock, which is a term for animals useful to humans.

No, and no one involved has suggested this.
