Those specific commands you name were given to people who were from a far worse background, and were a huge step up from what they had become accustomed to in their 400 years as slaves in ancient Egypt.

No. Commits are trivial to fake because there's not authentication on the commits themselves.

How to commit as nat:
```
git config --global user.name "Nat Friedman"
git config --global user.email "nat@nat.org"
git add .
git commit -m "felt cute, might put gh source code on dmca repo now idk"
```

You can pretty much add any email address to commits. This is why you cannot trust any commit unless they've been signed with a public key assigned to an account or email address (aka "Verified" on Github/Gitlab, or verified with a trusted GPG key, or some other method you consider reliable enough for code signatures).

Not necessarily directly related to this article, but with Linux adoption among OEMs exploding recently, doesn't this just continue to grow the size of the kernel? What keeps it from becoming an even bigger monolithic behemoth than it is now? Trimming out old/unmaintained drivers?

> The unfortunate thing is that copyright is treated as criminal rather than civil (in the US)...

Only if the infringement is for financial gain, otherwise the infringement is treated as a civil matter. Also, the government must show the act was willful. Whether the infringement is a treated as a misdemeanor or felony is dependent on certain thresholds set in the statute.

Coerce: persuade (an unwilling person) to do something by using force or threats.

Maybe we could disagree on whether this was a misinformation campaign, but it's still certainly not coercion. Still doesn't even seem like misinformation to me, the reality was that every driver who did not want to work full-time on the company's schedule would lose the ability to work if AB5 stands. (And if the companies shut down operations altogether in CA or demand took a big hit due to higher prices, then some or all of the rest of the drivers would lose their jobs too). I don't see how advertising that to drivers is dishonest.
RFID tags are problematic in a lot of environments. Warehousing in particular, especially with containers of fluid or other dense goods that can block radio signals. I can see a lot of problems at a place like Walmart. A shelf full of cleaning products sounds like a nightmare scenario.

How was this study performed and who was included in the study?

Just like any other sort-of-Vim implementation, cw (change word) is made to be consistent with dw (delete word), and Y (yank line) is made to be consistent with D (delete line). In classic vi, these commands are illogical in that cw doesn't eat the space following the word like dw does, and Y works on the entire line, whereas D deletes only from the cursor to the end of the line. The Vim manual states that:

If you like "Y" to work from the cursor to the end of line (which is more logical, but not Vi-compatible) use ":map Y y$".

...however, I'm used do cw and Y being illogical like that, goshdarnit, so when these Vim-clones come along and "fix" it, I'm thrown off at every step I take.
> Renewables are not a panacea and may never be able to power a modern economy as they will probably always require fossil fuel baseload

This is completely fallacious. There will always be outliers but the overwhelming majority of power needs, both residential and commercial, can be addressed with renewable energy and battery solutions.

> not to mention that because renewables are a diffuse energy source, they require HUGE land areas which makes no different for CO2 emissions, but makes a huge difference for environmental collapse.

Can you cite anything backing that up? Hydro electric does dramatically impact the environment but other renewable sources have no such impact. Wind is negligible despite the fanatic ravings of one fat orange lunatic who doesn't like it's aesthetics. Solar is easily deployed on rooftops and along transit corridors which has zero impact. You don't have to consolidate all the renewable energy sources in one location.

I have a solar array that covers less than half my roof, produces 1.5x my energy needs annually, it stores reserves in a battery, and back-feeds excess into the grid. The cost to operate the array is less than the cost of grid power, and my excess production results in a payout from the power company.

The excess production from residential and commercial arrays can be captured and distributed to outliers who are unable to directly leverage renewable energy and completely offset the need for polluting energy sources.

Because neither rights holders nor politicians want people to think about DRM and copyright too much.

If those laws/rights actually became campaign issues or were uniformly enforced, the whole thing would quickly collapse.

Due to the scale on which people ignore these laws this would result in having to fine/punish/demand damages from at least a third of the (US, or anywhere really) population. Think about how long those laws would survive if you did that.

As an Indian who didn't make it into the IITs (and instead attended a different school)"The rest are really bad" isn't entirely accurate:
- Facilities aren't that much worse than the IITs
- Student quality varies - there's smart/motivated and dumb/demotivated/burnt-out kids - unlike the IITs that has a much higher quality bar - but you have both kinds
- Faculty is the real difference.. since faculty in India (esp Engineering) isn't geared to research the quality can really vary wildly
- Basically - if you're great at what you do - academics isn't a great track in India unlike the US

No. Trust me. You will regret putting your child(ren) through online education. It sucks. I've tried it partially for 2 years. My friend is doing it now, preparing for JEE.

Preparing for JEE is not easy. I had hopes of getting in after getting a good score in the 1st Mains attempt, but just gave up during covid lockdown.

Social interaction is very very important.

Just trust me. I have nothing else to say. Not really interested in going through my 2 year ordeal in this comment.

Don't put your child in online edu in India. especially not JEE prep

You obviously aren't an average Indian parent (uses HN). So you might choose online for your kid. I'm just warning you.
So the covid forced return of the young urban professionals will be the savior of all the places they hail from?

As someone who grew up in one of the kinds of places these people retire to when they're old and gray I have some serious doubts that they are going to do anything other than tell everyone else "you're doing it wrong".

The world of bird sighting is interesting. I have a friend who runs a cruise expedition company in New Zealand. They run trips in the south seas (Antarctica) as well as the North (Russia, Japan) but they have to reposition their ships between seasons. Those repositioning trips are 3-4 weeks at sea with little-to-no land in sight. So what they did to make money was to sell heavily discounted seats to bird watchers because there are some species of birds who are only at sea during this time and this is the only way to see them. Pretty fascinating way to make up some revenue during an otherwise dead period.
Hudson Yards is the second or third largest office submarket in Manhattan, the one with the newest spec towers, and on top of that is bigger than most American downtowns are.

Useful clarification, but I think ITER’s website makes it unambiguous.

For 50 MW of injected heating power it will produce 500 MW of fusion power for long pulses of 400 to 600 seconds. https://www.iter.org/sci/Goals. To be more clear, injected heating power excludes the energy required to get to a steady state, as otherwise pulse length needs to be factored in.

That said ITER is running a lot of equipment unnecessary for a commercial power plant making engendering Q factors misleading. For example a power plant would not need to collect, process, and store the vast amount of scientific data that’s the point of the experiment. It’s really better if their not turning the rooms lights off trying to hit some arbitrary target.

PS: It was posted ~3AM and I am still out of it. So, I am kind of surprised how coherent that was even though I mess up conveying some heat was from electricity where the other heat was from fusion.

I'm surprised that it includes a README and other development-only files. I would have expected they would have removed anything that's not necessary for actually running the site, to minimize risk.
The other big deal is that the MTA is not fully funded by fares, and getting bi-state coordination on dedicated taxes is a fool's errand (see: WMATA in DC)

To me, "that anger" seems kind of weird though.

I mean, the anger itself is understandable. eg "person XYZ or people ABC kicked my teeth in every day of school".

But shouldn't the anger be directed to the people who did the bullying? Rather than just randomly spread out towards people who weren't even present.

Like, only one of those approaches goes some way to solving the problem or even "pay back".
I didn't know that. I also don't know if they exert any influence policy-wise.
I mean it seems equally as bad as targeting laws specifically against companies as a result of lobby efforts.

The CA law was created directly to change Uber, Lyft, etc and was backed by lobbying groups with lots of funding. So this exemption being funded by Uber is just as bad.

I’d rather laws be created based on actual first principles with goals to help the people. I think this ping pong game of lobby/counter lobby is not good for society.

For Swedish wildlife watchers there's https://www.artportalen.se/ which has been around for about 12 years or so. It has a dedicated section just for ornithology/birdwatching, but also offers reporting of any species. The site is backed by Naturvårdsverket, the Swedish environmental protection agency.
I usually think of cw vs. dw as changing the data in a node vs. removing a node (together with its next pointer), in a linked list.

>Not that I think Portland, Maine is an epicenter of authoritarianism.

Relative to the kinds of places many of it's residents come from it is a paradise of individual liberty.

Relative to the rest of Maine it is the most authoritarian by a mile.

People from Portland (cue joke about them all being from MA) wouldn't blink twice about a local ordinance that would have the people of Bangor or Lewiston up in arms. I'm sure they don't mean to be authoritarian and it's just a reflection of the cultural norms from the places many of them come from and everyone else keeping their mouth shut (because nobody wants to rock that boat in a tourism economy) but having a reason doesn't excuse it. Yes I know I'm generalizing, please don't paint a straw-man and act like I called your hardliner libertarian uncle from Portland an authoritarian. Clearly I mean it at the statistical level and mean it relative to the other parts of Maine.
That's a strange way to put it. More accurate is - "a handful of exceptional schools, plenty of good ones and plenty of bad ones".
I couldn't believe that so I read up on it.

And indeed, https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/french-law-prohibits-ext... claims that French law says that France will not extradite its own citizens. And they have written that into every treaty they sign. For example http://www.mcnabbassociates.com/France%20International%20Ext... is the treaty with the USA and it includes:

Article 3(1) declares that neither State has an obligation to extradite its own nationals, but the executive authority of the United States shall have the discretion to do so. The nationality of the person sought shall be the nationality of the person at the time the offense was committed.

Article 3(2) requires a State that refuses an extradition request solely on the basis of the nationality of the person sought to submit the case to its authorities for prosecution, if so requested by the Requesting State.

It appears that you are entirely correct!
I don't think the poster is of this kind but some people want to label other people as 'bad' and watch them get hurt. Prison for drugs is one way.
I would be absolutely shocked if Chase held all of their mortgages on their own books. They are one of the biggest originators in the US. They’d have trillions of
mortgage debt on their books if they didn't offload it.

A quick google search shows at least some of the mortgages have em sold by Chase.

https://www.reddit.com/r/personalfinance/comments/2h0al2/cha...

That said, Chase may not sell mortgages like the one you got. I know non-conforming mortgages are sometimes held on the banks books.
You're thinking of a person who is fighting the terminal illness. But not everyone chooses to fight, some choose to spend their remaining time doing something they want to do. It's quite possible for someone to decide the cost in suffering from fighting the disease isn't worth the extra time the fight would gain them. Note that this isn't from ignorance, those more medically knowledgeable are more likely to make such a choice.

The problem here is what would it have been that wasn't picked up in autopsy?

The barrier to entry for a taxi service, in a sensible jurisdiction, is very low - put a sign on your car and start driving people around.

Uber and Lyft became so popular precisely because there are so many insensibly-regulated jurisdictions that made even this start-your-own-taxi-service illegal in order to create artificial scarcity. Highly-regulated medallion taxi services suck - both independent taxis as well as Uber are a threat to them because they're comprehensively better for customers. You literally have to legislate good service away for medallion taxis to work. And that's exactly what AB5 was.
I'm curious if there was any evidence of people moving to Portugal after they decriminalized things? Or any evidence of people moving to avoid the law when it comes to drugs like this. It probably won't be 1-1 b/c of language barriers.

I don't have as much experience with addicted users but my understanding is that they tend to stay closer to their remaining social networks. Moving to a new state just to avoid criminalization seems like a lot.

Uber and Lyft are betting that 7/8 threshold will never be hit organically, but they can buy a 7/8 share of the legislature ensuring that this measure can only develop in one direction.
(Not a convincing answer, but it’s my answer) Because this group is motivated to accomplish it. lol, sadly we were lied to, and apparently no group has really cared about cleaning up land based plastic.

And I kinda fall into this bucket too. If you told me someone hurried the plastic, I’d be a bit sad “but ok”. Meanwhile, I love the idea of the ocean being clean, and am happy to pay the X% extra to buy sunglasses or whatever to help fund cleaning the ocean up.
The state currently performs suspicionless surveillance on the entire traffic graph of the USPS. Every piece of mail is weighed and imaged and sender anf recipient are placed into a database, so it is impossible to send a letter without creating a permanent record of source and destination.

You can, of course, leave off the return address, and this works fine for letter mail.

Packages, however, require ID to be dropped off. You cannot use the USPS to send packages anonymously.

The analogous version for a state-run ISP would be a blanket filter/ban on Tor/VPN usage.

I don’t think the USPS is a good example of a state-run organization for that reason. The state has already demonstrated their desire to eradicate personal privacy and anonymity.
My take on it is that I like most of the design choices they've made (Been tinkering on a similar dynamic runtime before).

With a dynamic language like Erlang (as with JS,Lua,etc) the main benefits won't come from better register allocation,DCE,etc that is the primary reason one would pick LLVM but rather just getting rid of the interpreter overhead (and later the oppurtunity to do some higher level type dependent optimizations that will have a higher impact than register allocation and instruction selection).

Type dependant stuff why LLVM is ill suited IMHO and why you only see LLVM being mentioned as the highest optimizataion level by for example JavaScriptCore(Safari) when the runtime hasn't deoptimized code and is pretty certain of the types that will be used.

Also they mentioned the complexity of maintaining interpreter/JITed jumps and I'm not surprised since i remember reading some paper about one of their earlier attempts and they were maintaining dual stacks with quite complex cross-boundary jumps.

Some might mention that V8 moved away from the always-JIT paradigm to save on memory and startup time but since Erlang is mostly used in servers i think they might see this as a good compromise.
It's cars, yes, and it's also other forms of transportation including railroads and airplanes, it's street cleaning vehicles, leaf blowers, lawn work, garbage collection, inconsiderate people, construction work, etc etc. Not all of these are going to avoidable, but at the moment it's a free externality, there is essentially zero incentive to cut it down and it shows.
At least with self-check out, every single items needs to be scanned, as there is no "times 10" button, and they get picky about sensing weight after each item. This can be quibbled of course (skip bagging, theft, etc).

Exactly.

There are drugs (crack cocaine, bath salts, maybe meth) where I think dealing should have severe penalties, but most of the people who are using these drugs are doing so because they are already struggling with life issues. Putting them in prison is almost certain to cost taxpayers a ton of money and utterly destroy that person's life.
Android is a proprietary OS controlled by Google. Don't think otherwise.
Thieves could just pull off the tag or swap tags with a cheaper item.

If you want it integrated then your store must convince every manufacturerto modify their production line to put a tag inside the product packaging. Reading is still a problem also, RFID works great alone but what about reading a shelf full of products at once?

IMO computer vision (like Amazon Go) is a more likely solution to the problem.

Hey if you want to understand things read "the underground history of american education", written by the new york state teacher of the year. Our education system is built on creating conformity and crushing peoples spirits, and it has worked!

By the way that's not a grumpy opinion from me, those guys literally said that kind of thing out loud on record for history. They were like "how can we crush these uppity free thinkers". Do you really think it's an accident every school is named after like an oil tycoon? That wasn't philanthropy, they weren't nearly as nice as you think.
