Here in Germany we had a few cases where persons worked as hospital doctors for a few years without a license or diploma or even any medical training. They usually submitted a fake license to the hospital. There was a spectacular case in the 1990s where a former postal employee named himself "Dr. med. Dr. phil. Clemens Bartholdy" and later worked as a senior physician in a psychiatric hospital, also giving lectures [0]

> By chance, a co-worker recognised him on July 10, 1997, forcing him to go into hiding. At that time, an appointment was already set for an interview with Hans Geisler, then Saxony's Minister of State for social affairs, health and family, on the occasion of Postel's appointment to a professorship and to the position of chief of medicine at Saxony's hospital for psychiatry and neurology at Arnsdorf near Dresden.

In another case, a former barber worked for 20 years as a doctor, eventually becoming chief physician in a children's hospital [1].

Back in the 2000s there was a case of a medical student who failed her final exams 3 times, and instead of leaving university as she had to, she just continued her studies without the possibility to take any exams. After a few years, she printed a fake license and a fake diploma and secured a job as an assistance doctor in the children's hospital of the Hamburg University Hospital, eventually becoming a respected colleague (she was, after all, actually trained to be a doctor). After a few years, she failed to hand in the original license and her fraud came to light [2].

Last year, a fake anesthesiologist was uncovered in Fritzlar. She had no formal training and had handed in a fake diploma to get the job [3]. No one noticed until last year, at which time she had already accidentally killed 4 people.

Given that there are several such cases each year, chances are very high that there are still some fake doctors practising here.

We also had the famous Captain of Köpenick [4], an ex-convict who in 1906 put on a uniform, rounded up a few soliders, occupied a city hall in Berlin, arrested several employees, had them transported to the main Berlin police station for interrogation, ordered to block all local telephone calls for an hour, confiscated 4000 marks and disappeared. It took 10 days to arrest him.

Probably more of a price in terms of favors and relationships than money. e.g. If a mob could somehow bust you out then you belong to them for some percent of the prison time. Just a guess though.
I turned off all notifications except calendar reminders (only created deliberately by me anyways), phone calls, SMS/iMessage, and WhatsApp messages (how I communicate with my wife and most of her family). That made the phone much less annoying without needing to delete everything. It's just that everything else is more like email, something I check a few times a day not things that notify me every other second. None of it is urgent, so it's at my leisure.

> 1) Atheists do exist.

Are you so certain about that? Atheists, in all cases, are paradoxical. They fall into two categories.

1) I am an atheist because I don't believe in God.

2) I am a atheist because I know God does not exist.

The first sense is not ontological, but based on what they believe. They are, in fact, the reciprical of an agnostic.

In the second sense, they claim the unknowable.

So if atheists exist, they are either mistaken about what they are or they claim knowledge they can not possibly have.

Atheism is somewhat impossible, and atheists, all of them, at best, are agnostics. So perhaps atheists do not actually and legitimately exist.

Note that carbon credits are not all about afforestation - if you don't believe in afforestation, fine, you can buy from projects that do energy transition or industrial efficiency (at the same cost, preventing emissions is always better than capturing CO2). So that's not really an argument against carbon credits.

I'm not saying technology has no role to play - but this specific choice of technologies by Stripe seems dubious to me, and seems to optimize for futuristic enthusiasm rather than potential impact.

I'm not against researching uncertain technology. But all of these projects are about aiming for highly-uncertain technology to solve our problems. Not a single one is about changing the way we live or relying on proven techniques. See why I'm talking about Silicon Valley bias here?

There is a large difference in the degree of training needed for pilot certification vs. getting a driver's license, and Tesla has already gotten in trouble for misleading claims about its "Autopilot" feature.

I have a theory that large fleets of self-driving taxis will make congestion worse (compared to private cars). They have to drive to you, then drive wherever you want to go, turning one vehicle journey into two ( * ). There are lots of other factors to consider but that seems to be a fundamental problem with the taxi model. I'd be interested in replies that explain the flaw in this theory. I assume it is wrong because I haven't heard anyone else say it.

* It could be even worse. Imagine the morning rush - thousands of taxis have driven to peoples' homes and then driven them to their work/school. Then most will have to park until the next peak of demand in the evening. Either they park in the city, or they drive to an out-of-city parking lot, then drive back in to collect, then drive people home, then drive somewhere else to park until the morning rush. What would have been two vehicle journeys using a private car became six.

Is the state of carbon capture tech like where transistors were in 1950, or has it already reached the physical limit and the only gains to be made are through better/cheaper/cleaner energy sources to power carbon capture?
A lot of comments I've seen draw the line between NYU's extension and Cambridge Analytica because the latter was using a native platform. But that feels like a distinction without a difference, if the net effect is still that "something I shared with my friend ended up in a third party's possession". Ultimately, if something has been shared with me, should I be able to save it or reshare it with others? The mechanism by which that save or reshare happens feels like an implementation detail.

Fundamentally speaking, who has what rights to shared data (like contact info or posts) feels like an unresolved question that has important implications.

There are not that many countries that are worse than Sweden in the pandemic numbers. And Sweden's neighbors have all done much better. Economically everyone in the EU is similar. There's still quite a bit to study but this fixation in painting Sweden as a success case is amazing. It shows up in these threads without fail.
It's a non-traffic summary offense. These are more than typographical errors (did you read the above?). Willful concealment of exculpatory evidence (his lie to cover his mistakes) is a civil rights violation, depriving the accused of a fair trial as prescribed under Brady vs Maryland. This is not de minimus as it should fit the definition of official oppression or malicious prosecution, much greater issues than the summary offense citation. So if you give a free pass on misdemeanor offenses of the trooper as de minimus, then surely the summary offense should be dismissed?

Not to mention that it does not matter what the severity of the offense is. The same protections of the law and adherence to rule of law is necessary at all levels to ensure the integrity of the system and the protection of the people's rights. If you contend that a traffic violation doesn't merit the same attention and protections by the system, then I would contend that the traffic violation would be a de minimus infraction and doesn't merit any attention at all - better a legitimate outcome that some half-ass fuckery that violates the rights of the citizenry.

That isn’t true and hasn’t been for a while. It’s nowhere near “web native” still but it is yet to even get a non beta release so I will give it some slack.

But I think Flutter is probably the best hope out there right now for the ever elusive dream of write once and run anywhere with native performance.

I think that's because the cost of owning a gyro can be so much lower than a traditional fixed wing. As little as $20K can get you into old but high quality used or $100k for entry-level new. A fraction of planes.

Not exactly cheap, but neither is spending significant time in a flight club.
Ask HN: Do you use analytics on your personal blog/site? Why?
I've been thinking for a while about relaunching a personal site (abandoned in 2017, offline since 2018) and would like to go JavaScript-less.

Previous personal sites have always included some kind of analytics/view counting system and I'd originally intended to do so on the new site.

Yet thinking about it... I really don't know why I care how many people read an article, or whether that data is of any use to me. (It really would be only view counts that I'd collect.)

Which got we wondering... do you collect analytics (whether full-blown GA or just a per-page view count log), and what real value does that data provide to you?

I've decided against it for my new site but am now analysing (ahem) why I wanted it in the past, and if there's anything I'm missing...
Apparently this is not true. It does support accessibility.

Howdy, I'm the developer of Playtable, http://playtable.app/ and I'm really intersted in tackling the usability aspect you are talking about.

TTS is one of the worst systems for usability. It's clunky, runs very slow, and because the interface is not standard UI, it's just programmer game engine UI it comes off as very very hard to use. Currently, the best product out there is Tabletopia in terms of usability, https://tabletopia.com I recommend you give it a try.

On that front, I'm very aggressively attempting to tackle this part of the market because even Tabletopia has major issues with usability in places. Developers often get confused and think these systems require massive user and permissioning systems, and lots of interaction structure, which is a wrong assumption. Turns out people just want to play games. To that I say, stop building token locking systems into engines, stop building complex joining systems!

Playtable requires no account, merely requires you to give a link to your friends to join. The problem is we're only tackling D&D and tabletop RPGs at the moment but I hope we'll expand out to other systems later.
Somewhere in the middle I'd guess, I'd say more like photovoltaics about ten years ago. There's still a lot of room for improving efficiency and manufacturing cheap hardware.
Sharks Wash Up on Beaches, Stabbed by Swordfish
Where TTS excels is for designers. It's super quick to change rules in the middle of the game, import new components, make small alterations, you name it. You can open a new table and just start experimenting with the components they give you, and move on to importing new assets when you are ready. And you don't need to code up a ui for it.

This freedom is good for tabletop roleplaying as well, though if you are working within an established ruleset that has an implementation on roll20 or fantasygrounds those give the gm more out of the box automation tools.
Yep. People can complain about Nvidia’s refusal to comply to standards as much as they want, but at the end of the day, there is never going to be widespread adoption of Wayland until Nvidia hardware is fully supported.

I tried a bunch of tiling window managers over the last two years, and found that the choice of X11 or Wayland does not make much of a difference with regard to the “second class citizen” effect you described. What finally solved it for me was switching to GNOME (ie. mutter on Wayland) with the PaperWM extension. Fundamentally, I’m running a conventional desktop with no tearing and standard, widely used solutions for keyboard shortcuts, the clipboard, screenshots, and floating windows, so graphical applications look and feel correct even if they are a bad fit for the tiling model. Tiling is then implemented by PaperWM at a higher level, in JavaScript, leaving the complexities of hardware accelerated, animated compositing to GNOME. It’s a good combination – I’d like to see more tiling window managers designed to take advantage of hardware-accelerated compositing.
not the earlier parent, but ... I read it to mean self-employed. I 'consult', although probably at least 60% of the time it's just ... code/development. But with the experience I have, some clients engage me to be more than a pair of hands, and there can be 'consultative' engagements: helping develop plans, strategic guidance, etc.

But it can also mean working for a larger agency, focusing on specific areas (of technology, or industry, etc). To me 'consulting' has some connotation with 'deep expertise' in one or more fields.

Management is a different job but a job with more power, authority and information. Managers will decide the compensation of ICs not the other way around. They will be the first to know of major decisions that company is taking.

As you grow experienced as an IC you want to say in the product roadmap. Usually that only happens at the management level.

Having mostly used Angular and React with APIs, I recently wrote a small app with server-side templating and a very small amount of jquery. It was an absolute joy. Especially with webpack it feels like the front-end has become needlessly complex and I'm not sure it has improved quality for users.
This was my game of choice to unwind from classes. I think I played way too much because it was one of the few games I was as good as my brother. In two player mode my brother and I would each take a joy stick and still easily beat who ever was the second player! What fun! And truly to get into the upper levels you needed to enter a zen state.

It's not a force push under the hood. Under the hood a new branch is created (first patch set is /refs/changes/nnnn/0, second is /refs/changes/nnnn/1, etc.). From the end user perspective the result is quite plausibly similar to force push.

Lockdowns vary so widely across countries that to use the term lockdown as a standard term is misleading. E.g.: The UK had a national lockdown in April-May, but people were allowed to go into work if they couldn't WFH, but in many other countries, everyone had to stay at home no matter what.

I think it's just harder to get a clear signal of the value that each manager is delivering. Sure there are some headed for promotion, but deciding between an average and underperforming manager can be a tougher call. And getting rid of one just means that all their ICs get reassigned to some other manager, but the immediate impact to projects/deliverables is probably pretty minimal in the short term at least.
RDNA's ISA is impressive. Load/store asymmetry, Subvector execution, 1024 vGPRs (!!!!), unlimited sGPRs (not quite, but no longer shared at least), etc. etc.

Based on the ISA alone, I'd prefer compute-applications to move to RDNA frankly. Its clearly a better designed architecture.

I can't find any public information on CDNA. I've even emailed ORNL for information, but they responded back saying that NDAs prevent them from saying anything.

Whether CDNA is based on NAVI or Vega will be a big question as Frontier launches next year. I hope its Navi based, I really do, because its just better. But I'd "understand" if ROCm can't be ported easily to Wave32 or other issues (RDNA is a huge architectural change).

If you can, place your Gitlab CE instance behind an LDAP server. Have another site handle signups. (admitedly, setting up something with LDAP is often a massive pain. I duct-tape around it by using LdapJS on top of a CMS)

I've had a handful of projects where human spammers will bother to create an account and jump through the loops, but in the 2-3 years of running a Gitlab instance, which has 1300 users, I only had 2-3 incidents (we keep an eye on recent projects, snippets, etc).
What an arrogant statement. When old and young disagree on a political issue, you assume the old are wrong? Why? Is there some fact they don't know? Have they not thought through all the correct chains of causation, whereas you have? Of course not. They might turn out to be right. You can't assume you're right just because all your peers agree with you and the outsider group is wrong because that's not the group you belong to.

I know a child who's afraid of climate change. Not in a political way but afraid of drowning in high sea water or her house being destroyed by the weather or something like that. Her grandmother reassured her that it's all blown out of proportion and people will manage to cope just fine. Who's right - old or young? Don't pretend you know the answer because you don't. Nobody does.
> With Github/lab's model, if you force push your PR, you lose the ability to view its previous state and diff against that.

I'm not sure about Gitlab, but Github has recently added a feature where you can view the diff between the old branch head and new one. But, as far as I'm aware, there's no way to check out the previous branch head from the repo due to a lack of a remote branch pointing to it.

At least git itself provides a range-diff command that allows you do see a diff between the commits between two versions of a given branch.
