Seconded; this can be seen on Hemmert's last two comments (both of which are on this post): https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=hemmert
No. I think that’s part of the problem.

I’m not allowed to defend myself. At least not with a big check list to ensure I don’t goto jail.

I recall advise like keep a bat and glove in car at all times. Glove is the “reason” you have something to defend yourself with.

Nonsense games to protect yourself because some Pampered people don’t think you should be allowed to.

Of the PHEVs for sale right now, there's almost none that could really be driven pure electric. Only the Volt really let you do that, and it's no longer for sale. Pretty much all of them will fire up the ICE if you hit the accelerator hard or need to go highway speeds, etc.
If you think all laws will be broken anyway, what's the point of having laws?
I've noticed that in the Netherlands a lot of the infrastructure for cyclists is also useful for people with mobility scooters. There are a lot of people unable to drive that benefit from decent cycle paths.

"Cricket One is shipping its cricket powder to food producers in over 15 countries — including bakeries and snack makers in Europe, North America, and Asia Pacific — but further growth in these and new markets has proven a challenge." -probably because most civilized countries thinks eating bugs or earthworms or whatever disgusting thing is on the food startup menu today is dystopian and grotesque, and that should be fed to farm animals before it's turned into human foods.

You're badly misunderstanding the process.

With current CCS you're taking high concentration stream of CO2 from combustion and injecting it into deep subsurface waters that you know will remain isolated. (I'm a geologist - we're good at identifying those.) It's highly soluble in water at those conditions. Ideally it reacts with there and precipitates into other minerals, but it doesn't have to. It's safe in solution as well.
Ah, I think I'm misunderstanding the intent here. Clearly P2P distribution of checksummed binaries can be safe, I was just wondering if there were a solution to the build farm being behind. It seems like you can't really trust the first build of any artifact unless it comes from a central source.

I'm not particularly squicked out by bugs, but intentionally adding black dots (which I believe are chia seeds) into these just seems counterproductive.
That is the questions being proposed, and to be honest I am a 2A person, I would like it to mean bare in public for non criminals but that is not the current ruling or historic rulings by the supreme court. As it sets bare means you can pull out your gun and use it as part of a state sanctioned militia (don't really exist anymore) or as the most recent ruling specified, in self defense. What is not "legally" clear is "where". Well it is legally clear, the only place right now you have the right is on your private property, or property you have been given permission to possess a weapon on. In states if you have a CCW or they have other carry laws, you are afforded the privilege of being able to bare in public and common property with some restrictions. Again this is not my definition, this is what they have ruled.

And that is the current arguments being made, as their is the implication that by the preamble about the state needing the people to be armed to supply the militias if needed, that if they were called into the militia they would almost certainly not be baring arms on their property. We also have to take into account history, and historically the government did not strictly control open lands they were considered open lands or communal so pre-1900's carry laws being what they where, generally only applied to entering and leaving town, pretty much everywhere else no one has beef with someone having a gun. Times have changed, federal uninhabited land is shut off from the people for the most part and rights generally don't extend there anymore, as well town is a whole lot bigger now. These are arguments being made in support that the framers actually meant the right was "in public"

It's not a matter of what I think it means, it's a matter of what the supreme court thinks it means. So far they have been a mixed bag, the inherent self defense ruling was good but honestly should have been a no brainer. Given that one of the founding fathers was killed in a dual, and duals up until the 1900's where pretty much considered mutual self defense.

I think the ninth court hosed the decision on the Federal Assault Weapons Ban as this directly affected guns of similar features but different looks one could own or features that could be placed on guns. None of that really bothered me as a Browning BAR 300 win-mag with a modified magazine for high capacity would absolutely dominate the battlefield, but the key there is the precedent because by being able to ban pieces of the gun (because they only recognize the receiver as the legal gun), they have set the path for the current bans on magazine capacity and that is concerning because if it stands based on precedent, the 7 round magazines restriction, can legally be reduced to 1 round magazines, in effect only legalizing single shot weapons and while I know in the movies and video games, everyone dies from the first shot, the reality is a higher percentage of people survive shoutouts than die from them, even after receiving multiple gunshot wounds.
I think he chose the wrong verbs.

pull should’ve been clone.

commit should’ve been snap.

push should’ve been commit.

This way, clone (instead of pull) will make a local copy on your computer.

This is your local working copy. When you are ready to save, you can “snap” shot it, and leave a little message. And you can do as much of this as you want.

Then when you’re ready to merge it back to the primary database, then you can “commit” it.

The whole concept of pull/commit/push seems nonsensical to me. As a layman, I can’t understand the importance of pull vs. push in this context. And this makes it difficult to explain to someone non-technical.

Is It Possible to Have Coherent Principles Around Free Speech Norms?
Apologies, I meant to say why would Republicans pick red in that case, since they're even more anti-communist, but forgot to be specific enough in expressing that
Raising taxes on a fuel is not as effective, first because its harder to get through to the consumers - they don't care because the tax would be pennies on the liter/gallon, and people are used to prices going up and down anyway. Secondly because such an annual tax would hurt the wallet more - paying $100 once hurts more than paying $1 a hundred times with every fill-up.

Yes it is overcomplicated but it is a solution that targets the core of the problem - that people are not charging their PHEV's enough.
To be fair though you probably wouldn't have loved commuting into the city in a car either.
I don't think it is sexism. It is my wife's and her supervisor's opinion.

Almost all modern documents about certificate policy have the same structure, a structure described in RFC 3647. This makes it easier to find what you're looking for in somebody else's policy document and to verify they ticked all the boxes. If they've got a rule about Certificate Revocation for example that'll go in section 4.9.

So there's going to be a section 3 about "Identification and Authentication" and it's going to have a subsection 3.2 "Initial Identity Validation" and that's going to have a sub-subsection 3.2.2 about how we figure out who this actually is we're talking to, and so these sections will be further divided. 3.2.2.4.x is the "Ten Blessed Methods" (these days there are rather more than ten) for how we validate DNS names in the Web PKI).
So, that's a no? If you actually have first-hand experience you could trivially provide details.
If you're in the UK I find Private Eye to be an clever, excellent + balanced magazine if you're looking for something to read. Plus it's still nice to have things in print, and I don't think the demand will go away.
Simulated annealing goes back to the seventies and was definitely not "specifically created in the context of machine learning". Many (most?) optimization techniques have their origin in Operations Research.
U-3 is used specifically because we have so much historical data - it lets us compare how we're doing now to the great depression, for example, and up until a few decades ago it was fine because all the various unemployment metrics were strongly correlated.

Politicians eventually gamed the metric so hard that it's almost worthless now, so economists today mostly use U-6.

Yeah, I looked at it and this seems completely normal to me as someone having grown up somewhere (Norway) where comics were a far more integral part of the culture (US comic book artists often tour Scandinavia, as even newspaper strips often get monthly ensemble books in the Scandinavian countries, and some comics sell more in even individual Nordic countries than the US at times).

Comedic comics often do this kind of thing, though the specific patterns may differ. Especially coloured versions of newspaper strips because they were often originally published in black and white, and so there were often no clear guides on colour from the original artists and it's easier to then have the colouring follow some rough set of patterns than to spend time agonising over it, and focus of often far more on making it easily and quickly digestible than particularly artistic.

There's a reason Calvin and Hobbes was such a major revolution in the newspaper strip market - with few exceptions newspaper strips were not considered to really be focused on the art; it was about the gag. You had strips where the artist very obviously cut and pasted and reused panels multiple times, to the point where some strips included meta-jokes about how little effort went into the art of some series.

Returning to the colouring, Hagar the Horrible is one example, which while more constrained than Garfield, it took me just a couple of clicks to find examples where the interior wall of a house changes colour between panels back and forth with the dialogue.

EDIT: Here's a Hagar strip where that is particularly noticeable, as the background colour changes very specifically to emphasise an outburst:

Since carbon capture is energetically expensive (by definition), industrial use of it (as opposed to some schemes like enhanced weathering or other geoengineering approaches) can only be part of a viable solution in a few manners:

a) As a way to offset carbon released by tasks that cannot be feasibility (or at least easily) de-carbonized directly. Random examples might be concrete, or maybe jet airplanes.

b) As a way to try to draw down atmospheric CO2 even faster once we are predominantly transition to de-carbonized energy sources.

Pilot plants that exist today are just that - pilots. They may be useful as ways for us to learn what to do when we get to worlds that are well described by a) or b)... but we really gotta get there first.
The US is much better on this front than the UK. Not great for affording treatment, but there are curb cuts everywhere (in cities at least where there are sidewalks) and very few businesses are not handicap accessible.
The answer is "Not any time soon", you could also worry about giant lasers on sharks. Trying to regulate now a supposedly imminent AGI is like Morse and Edison regulating the Internet.

We are doing an spectacularly lousy job of regulating what it already exists.
Interesting -- thanks for linking. It's a pity though - I really liked the delay explanation!
I believe it has something to do with classically being printed in black and white newsprint. The colors selected in the color cartoon are actually just a mapping to different grayscale patterns based on the lightness/darkness level.
Your reaction seems quite extreme and vitriolic.

My job is to be the director of machine learning at a medium-sized ecommerce company. My company uses machine learning to solve lots of problems in search & customer recommendation, image & text processing, time series forecasting, and a few “backend” support models for things like phishing / fraud detection and gaining efficiencies in customer support operations.

I am happy to answer any questions I can about why machine learning has been a continued growth and investment area for my company and how we thoroughly validate business value when deciding whether to adopt ML solutions.

We use modern neural networks in probably about 10-15% of the solutions we operate.
The issue with that is NN fail in some really interesting ways so you still need a lot of effort to get a robust solution. Remember, after some serious investments by many organizations self driving cars are still in development. At the same time a few people have demonstrated a basic system that seems close without nearly that much investment. Unfortunately, the difference between a demo and working solution can be several orders of magnitude.
Remember that all cryptocurrencies run under a consensus agreed between all its participants. This consensus is always subject to change: the Bitcoin network could decide to allow for 10 million more BTC at any moment. They just choose not to do it.

Ethereum builtin limits work as an incentive to force timely decisions. The initial 100M limit, and the difficulty bombs (which cause "ice ages") ensured that the initial versions of Ethereum wouldn't be able to run forever: mining rewards would stop, or mining would be too difficult to be profitable. This impending doom ensures the protocol needs to be updated, and once that conversation regarding the new consensus is active, it is easier to bring in new changes and improvements too.

One final point: whoever bought ETH at any point up to mid 2017 has seen massive returns. It could be argued that this is precisely because of the changes Ethereum has undergone over time, and that keeping close to the initial design would have been worse.
Quintessential illustration of "premature optimization is the root of all evil". A tiny shortcut in non-performance critical formatting code causes 50 years of pain and bugs.
>The wide availability of guns seems to be one of the major underlying reasons for the evil police.

What?

Wrongful police shootings may dominate the headlines but they are a rounding error compared to asset forfeiture abuse, discriminatory enforcement, lesser forms of police violence and good ol' influence peddling. For everyone that's shot for no good reason there's hundreds of people who are unnecessarily roughed up, tazed or just have their money taken under color of law (I consider a fishing stop that ends in a BS ticket instead of a warning to be in the latter category).
I’m replying to a commenter who claims that it is thermodynamically impossible to extract energy from fossil fuels while capturing the carbon (ie not releasing CO2 into the environment). Obviously some chemistry needs to happen but I claim it is possible to still get net energy out while somehow capturing the CO2.

See this page: https://longitudinal.blog/co2-series-part-2-co2-removal/ with the bit that starts “Note: Interestingly, this is all much less than the heat of combustion”
I spent a year at a startup that had Utah roots (half the employees came from BYU). The CEO already had an 8 figure exit from a prior company he co-founded.

It was a unique pleasure working there... many small companies tout this, but it really did feel like an extended family. Such an aura of positivity and comraderie really helped morale in the face of a handful of make or break issues we faced during my time.

And despite the obvious roots of the company, not a whiff of anything religious or political was mentioned or hinted at, though people’s personal lives were regularly discussed and shared.
> I think the premise is that you can look up a item on Amazon, ebay, and walmart and between the three you're very unlikely to get ripped off if you buy the cheapest one available.

I doubt it's an issue with Walmart but you have completely ignored the problem of counterfeit/knock-off goods on Amazon and eBay. From painful experience, although fortunately not with anything too expensive, I can tell you that it's absolutely possible - likely, even, if you buy enough stuff - to get ripped off on Amazon in this way and that your strategy is not a reliable way to avoid being ripped off.
Why not use hostnames instead of IP addresses? No need to assign static IPs then. I'm using hostnames for all my HA devices.

No, look at the conclusion, there is no more gate for the ALU.
> For example, a customer misplacing their analytics in a JS loop and having a moderate traffic blog will generate billions of requests from all over the globe.

Potentially, but then customers don’t see a ton of spam on their dashboard. Just a lot of repeated requests.

They don’t come in random waves either. Valid traffic is pretty well spaced out.

> Your system should be sble to handle these billions of requests

Potentially, but you really don’t want to pay for them. The only real way to go about stopping it is blocking offending ips.
Absolutely. I think you have me backwards. Marx's economics are a pretty straightforward response to Ricardo. He himself mostly alluded to Ricardo as "Bourgeois intellectuals," avoiding even naming him.
On the surface Tailwind seems quite great and whenever I stumble upon it I like the idea of good defaults, but since I don't use React or a component-based UI framework I'd mostly work with Tailwind's @apply directive, I assume, and at that point I wonder why I shouldn't simply stick to

.btn { padding: 4rem 2rem; border-radius: 2rem; }

rather than

.btn { @apply px-4 py-2 rounded }

It simply feels like an additional, unnecessary layer and, frankly, somewhat wrong.

I went through 2 Chevy Volt leases and loved that car. Averaged 150mpg lifetime.

Now I’ve got a Pacifica Minivan plug-in hybrid which has a similar value proposition but the drive train is noticeably different than the Volt’s all electric plus a generator approach.
Motorized wheelchair/scooter?

The savings from not building car infrastructure should easily pay for personal scooters.
I certainly did not. I took the train by preference if I was going into the city "9-5"; my office was a short walk from the station. But the train was useless if I was doing something in the evening because it ran so infrequently outside of commuting hours. Frankly it was not a commute I could have handled long term--about 90 minutes door to door--even though I didn't have to do it every day.
The 1967 Mulford Act originated in California with the goal of disarming BLack Panther Party members to restrict their (lawful) armed patrols of Oakland neighborhoods.

It was introduced by a Republican, garnered bipartisan support, and enacted by (then governor) Ronald Reagan, with support from the NRA, with the espoused claim of "not harming a single honest citizen."

Arguably, 1967 is not today, but even to people like myself, who try my absolute damnedest to look for non-racial motives where others ascribe racially motivated malice, it looks like it was just designed to disenfranchise Black Panthers of the same 2A right as their white peers.

Gradient decent has been known for hundreds of years, it isn't machine learning. Optimizing parameters is an entire field in itself. Calling all cases of parameter optimization "machine learning" is just a fad because it sounds cooler. Before computers people still optimized thing but by hand, doing the same calculations with a computer is no more machine learning than doing them by hand is human learning.
I used to enjoy reading the “today in history” feature in the daily paper. I find the Wikipedia article of the day email is a good substitute.

Haven’t found a good substitute for the comics though.
Unfortunate but this is a very common practice in the ad-tech world. Companies like LiveRamp rely on this "signed-up-email-sharing" between publishers to make their email onboarding products (via which they are able to map email to cookie).

Well, they claim to be privacy aware and won't let you map < 20 emails to cookie at a time but it's pretty easy to bypass that.
I think the assessment should be paired variables of homogeneous populations AND small populations, since countries in Asia and Africa are counter examples, however, Denmark and other countries touted as good examples are both homogeneous and small in population compared to the US.
Ask HN: Why is Windows autohide taskbar setting
I have always set my taskbar to "Automatically hide the taskbar" in Windows, for as long a I can remember. I just like it if the UI gets out of my way and only pops up when summoned (in Windows case by hitting the win/super key).

But also for as long a I can remember I have played the game of "what app is forcing my taskbar up"... Usually while I'm trying to hit something that the taskbar is now obscuring (like Firefox's searchbox, or half of a Teams notification. It is absolutely maddening and it seems to be getting worse lately I have the feeling.

So I want to ask you HNers., how do you treat the taskbar? Am I missing something? Why is the responsible app never flashing? Why can't it flash just the upper pixel line so I know something is up but it doesn't obscure anything. I have the feeling I am a very small minority of taskbar hiders and nobody cares about this setting.

In comparison, I never have this issue in Ubuntu, the taskbar is there when I hit the Win/Super key and not there when I leave it alone. Of course Ubuntu has other notifications that have nothing to do with the taskbar.
Green means a new account.

Now, do I get a dot, or not?
