I checked https://readabilityformulas.com/freetests/six-readability-fo... and all tests agreed that it was not just college level text, but advanced college level text.

In literacy tests, under 2% of Americans read beyond a grade 12 level. Odds are than under 1% could read that terms of use and actually understand it. Even if they wanted to.

(Note, they only analyze the first 3000 words.)

A bit unrelated, but I once had to "rewind" quite literally.

I had an embedded system with a CPU that had no instruction cache. It was crashing, and I had the crash address, but I couldn't figure out how it got there. So I attached a logic analyser to the memory bus, triggered it on the crash address (or maybe on some symptom of the crash; it's been a while). I had the trigger point be at the end of the saved trace. I then could see what the address bus had been up to (that is, what instructions were fetched) for some time before the crash. That got me enough information to find and fix the problem.

You couldn't do that today, because everything is too small to put a chip clip on, and the processors cache instructions, so the program counter is not directly visible on the address bus.
This is basically screaming for a GDPR lawsuits as it is.
A lot of conspiracy theories are just slightly repackaged white supremacy and anti-Semitism. It's not hard for me to personally to cut ties with bigoted and hateful individuals.
Who is getting permabanned without doing those things? I think you'd be surprised how many people play dumb and act upset knowing exactly why they got their account suspended, but rather than tell you they play the victim card thinking it'll somehow help them.
I want to start helping with stuff, is it best to choose from a list like this? or something you like but doesn't really need help? or is there somewhere central where people ask for help.

No, from what I could tell the greeks have tried to preserve the entire Acropolis as it was in ancient times. Unfortunately this means there is construction equipment everywhere as they are constantly trying to rebuild, at least when I was there.

Pretty much every shop/business surrounding the Acropolis is a gift shop, they all sell little souvenirs and stuff.
Show HN: A Python container for dataclasses with multi-indexing and vector opps
I came to the idea as I wanted to use the ergonomics and efficiency of Pandas DataFrames but realised it makes messy production code thats hard to maintain. This package provides the best of both worlds.

Description:
A Python dataclass container with multi-indexing and bulk operations. Provides the typed benefits and ergonomics of dataclasses while having the efficiency of Pandas dataframes.

The container is based on data-oriented design by optimising the memory layout of the stored data, providing fast bulk operations and a smaller memory footprint for large collections. Bulk operations are enabled using Pandas which has a rich set of vectorised methods for both numerical and string data types.

That's not how collective bargaining works. The entire company goes on strike if they do that, it'd destroy their entire business in a week.

It's cheaper to just pay and treat everyone fairly, which is what they do not want to do. Imagine if all Amazon or Netflix engineers were on strike.

Ask HN: How to vote?
First, there's no other president in history that has put up with as many vicious questions and fake accusations as Donald Trump. That's good news, it shows that America has a president that values freedom of speech. Yet freedom is threaten by the corrupt media and tech companies that silence Democrat critics and cover up corruption scandals. Courtesy of the corrupt media, Biden has been able to hide and duck questions the entire campaign like no other presidential candidate in history. When Biden is asked tough questions disaster ensues. The real threat to freedom of speech is not vicious questions, but collusion. If you value freedom, you must vote in this presidential election. Ronald Reagan once said: "Never take freedom for granted because it's never more than one generation away from extinction".

Besides freedom, here are other factors to consider before choosing between Biden or Trump:

* Joe Biden seems to have a hard time working a full day, and has deteriorated mentally in quite famous and significant ways. Evidently, he is physically and mentally incapable of handling such a demanding job as the presidency.

* Biden lies often and without regret. In the last presidential debate (watched by millions of people) he falsely denied his statements on banning fracking.

Trump has delivered on most of his campaign proposals, always putting America first. Don't vote for Biden just because you don't like Trump. That is just stupid.

Trump administration built the strongest economy in 50 years with democrats and the media fighting them all the way. Low record of unemployment for all. Trump has made America great again. A strong America is good news for anyone that values freedom. As John F. Kennedy said: "America must be determined to be first, and when we are strong, and we are first, then freedom gains, and the prospect for peace and security increase". Finally, when the election is over, I hope the United States becomes more united, not less.

I want to ask HN why would I vote for Biden?
Around that time and for that reason, I migrated all my personal projects to CircleCI. I did the same for my then employer's open source projects, but CircleCI was also a customer, so it was a pretty easy sell.
Sounds an awful lot like mob “protection”
> I'd feel safer there than many other historical places that had aimed more aggressively at more-or-less equal societies.

...but almost every developed country with greater social safety nets and less inequality performs above the US on all measures of “safety,” whether you’re talking about actual violence or more abstract things like infant mortality. How do you square that material reality with the current state of the US?
I sometimes wonder if my handwriting would be less bad if I used something other than a ballpoint. Not that my handwriting with a pencil is any great shakes, either. I literally got Ds in handwriting all through elementary school, on otherwise straight-A report cards.

I tend to grip too hard, press to hard, and otherwise fail to achieve the kind of smooth flow of people with neater handwriting. I can't tell if that's something I could be trained out of, or if it's something in my brain wiring or chemistry (perhaps in fine motor control or dysgraphia). My handwriting is tolerable if I write very slowly and very carefully, but that makes compostion harder and notetaking almost impossible.
Yes, and I just learned today that the full scale replica has acoustic properties of making it seem like voices were all around you when you spoke [0].

If ethanol is carbon-neutral. There are many who believe it not to be, that it takes more carbon output to grow/refine ethanol than it saves. The real question is, if we ran every tractor, processing and fertilizer plant on pure ethanol, would there be any ethanol left to sell?
That may be true, but I find the preparation totally uncomfortable which deters me from a potentially necessary preventative procedure.
The fixed costs of owning two cars means that it rarely works out. Rental cars can work, but again the math rarely works out because it is so expensive to rent a large car.

Of course, it's not like I'd expect anything else. But it was a fun observation since I've been to both.
Some more factors to consider:

* Joe Biden has been in politics since 1972. Do you think someone who has been in office for so long without accomplishing much is going to come in and change everything for the better?

* Biden claims to be the candidate of the middle class, yet he takes millions of dollars from tech billionaires for his campaign. His commitment to the middle class is dubious after taking so much money from the rich. Once he gets past the election is payback time.

* Biden claims he would've handled the pandemic better than Trump. This statement is hard to believe after he was against the China travel ban that Trump imposed before most western and european countries. Trump was not the only one to initially belittle the pandemic hazard, there was also Biden and the World Health Organization.

* Biden wants to stop subsides for the oil industry and ultimately shut it down. Trump is for a balanced energy production system with both clean energy and non-renewables. Trump's focus on energy independence has lead to the lowest US energy imports in decades.
This. One tip I might have learnt from here is to renew a domain for the maximum allowed period (usually 10 years), and then make it a habit to renew it once a year, back to the full ~10 years.
None of those matter if a US court has declared that there's no infringement. Also, many of those probably don't cover circumvention.

If we want democracy, it should be voters.

If we want a working democracy, voters should care. Currently a lot of them don't, and thus stay uninformed, or take the elections as a sports event where they need to take a side and root.

Why doesn't anyone question the ECMO machines? I'm definitely no doctor, but as a software engineer if my system failed 30-40% of the time I'd stop using it.

Last I read they have 30-40% instance of internal bleeding with many other TERRIBLE things as a side effect of all the blood thinners and other pharmaceuticals needed to use the machine.

I really find it hard to believe that COVID caused the PE, hemorrhage, etc. that ultimately put an end to that young man's life.

I do quite dislike those who substitute out the HyperText Markup Language for big giant moving pictures, yes. Having my rich media replaced by extremely dumb media that I cannot deploy extensions against is, imo, a colossal downgrade & deeply deeply injurious to civilization, a severe & critical regression against information's usability & utility.
The geometry of plate movement isn't what affects the kind of apparent solar time changes that leap seconds address.

We do, however, take plate movement in to account when determining positions of things on the surface. Geodesic coordinate systems periodically publish 'Datum' that are the result of new surveys of positions. In some places, such as Australia, the difference a decade can make is pretty large. Other places, not so much.
Much of the worst content is published by people under their own names and news bylines. And then happily retweeted by people under their own names.

It gets worse when businesses and adverts are included in the mix. Who is Bob's News Agency, really? Can you click on every advert to find who paid for it? No.
> This RP400 is small, can be taken everywhere by kids

Not usefully it can't. There's no display, so that "everywhere" is restricted to places that have an HDMI display just hanging out. Which is then a vanishingly small number of places. And since we're talking about kids - places with a front panel HDMI port, which is even rarer. Or you have to pair it with a portable monitor, in which case you spent as much as an entry level laptop and got something worse in return.

This is a cute little toy, and I want one, but that's all it is - a toy. Same as all the RPI's before. Good intro to hobby electronics programming with the GPIO, but not a disruptive entry-level computing experience, either. That place remains in the realm of the ultra-budget laptops, as they require no existing infrastructure.
Except that you already agreed to this behaviour when you signed up.

You're guessing, and I think you're making too strong a statement about something you only guessed at.

I looked through https://prezi.com/terms-of-use/201910_NL/ ("Effective September 1, 2020") and didn't see anything about this.
> If the latter — trust me, the same is true of eMMC, or any other Flash media ordered in bulk quantities. You just have to QA them on arrival. Set up an RMAed-parts box with a shipping label in advance; you’ll need it.

SD cards and USB flash drives are manufactured with lower-grade flash memory than SATA and NVMe SSDs. The stuff that wears out in RPi usage is the stuff that was rejected for desktop usage. So having a large failure rate is not the only option, if you can expose a SATA or PCIe port. It's a little disappointing that they cannot even offer end users that upgrade path.
Only if other regions/nations require it. Youtube is doing this to comply with EU directive as stated in the article.
Of course they put themselves in the shoes of the guys holding your privacy in contempt as, in the best of case, a measure to save at worst a few days of engineering hours.

They imagine that lowering the bar for privacy benefits them and their future imaginary startups, or may save them from uninteresting work at their current jobs.

I think the opposite is true. A lot of people expressing disagreement by trying to hide things they disagree with instead of rebutting them. I think the down arrow should be reserved for cases where you think they break "The Rules" (not the site rules, but your own judgment of good taste). But then again, maybe I am too lax in my judgment.
