I know it is hip to hate on PRC for lots of reasons but looking at the amazing things happening in China I cannot help but be, well, amazed. Trains, electric buses, some of the safest cars made (all the way back in 2013 Qoros was the safest in EuroNCAP tests). 99% of electric buses are driving around in China (500.000?). Looking at trains in the US, well, it's not even funny to compare anymore.

The gatorade sounds horrendous, to dump a ton of sugar on you when fasting. It was probably for the electrolytes, a pinch of salt would have worked without all the junk in gatorade. And then you rarely need it on just a three day fast, only if you're dizzy. And if you're dizzy it means you've drunk too much water.

Glad you're better though!

Reddit fasting sub is ok to learn more, though they have some hangups like dry fasting.

The Dream Job That Wasn’t
But was it taking away the ad revenue, or was it the meteoric rise of valuation and ad-dependency in 1990s without investment into alternative income streams, only for widespread internet access to nuke the business model?

News industry sites are chock full of ads of all kinds, when most people agree they don't want to see them, and they also lead the way in tracking and abusing user data.

Maybe the wrong step happened earlier.

I think the reason for that is that Kotlin doesn't necessarily aim for immutability as much as it aims for read-only values. This is also why there is no truly immutable implementation of `List` in the stdlib, although the interface itself it read-only (but it can still point to a value that is being mutated somewhere else).

I agree that true immutability - or code that is more obvious about avoiding side-effects - could be useful, but I don't think that was ever the goal.
3 core ideas for effective serverless monitoring approach
> You can use this as a stepping stone to asking other countries to normalize their laws to be similar to yours

You are certainly correct, if maybe only in theory. At the rate things are going, good luck with any country freely harmonizing anything with the USA. The USA is more likely on a steady course of becoming increasingly less relevant to anyone but themselves.

A different president is not going to change that. The country's international policies (current and past), in particular its use of their relative economical and military power imbalance, have been abusive for way longer than just this last president. Ordinary citizens around the globe have become increasingly more aware of this, often from experiencing its unpleasant consequences. It already has become harder for many foreign politicians to keep giving in to US power play, to how it essentially treats the rest of the globe as its own territory. Expect things to get a lot harder for the USA.

Meanwhile, a growing group of people looks at the USA's internal affairs, wondering why on earth anyone would take any guidance or example from such a nation. I guess that plenty of US citizens will blame that all on the last president (certainly in part for very valid reasons), but the problem extends way beyond that. Regretfully, the USA just can't stop itself, for what it does internationally (mostly unknown to its own citizens).

Show HN: gSweets are slash-commands for Google Docs (like Notion)
Hey Hacker News, I'm one of the two co-founders of gSweets.
Our vision is to make Google Suite as fast and delightful as possible. Our first product is a free Chrome extension that adds Notion or Slack-like slash commands to Google Docs.

You can insert things like:
- Headings: /h1, /h2, /h3
- Links: /link
- Emojis: /emoji
- Giphy: /giphy
- Unsplash: /unsplash
- Tables: /table CxR(ex: 5x2)
- Lists: /ul, /ol

It's 100% private by design. We built the app using React.js, Typescript, Next.js, Tailwind CSS, GraphQL + Apollo + TypeGraphQL, Firebase Auth, and Vercel for deployments.

Right now we're looking for as much feedback as possible and would love to know what we could build next to save you time in Google Docs!

Cheers,

There is a graduate college degree offered by many universities with law schools, Business Schools and Political Science departments - it is a cross-disciplinary degree called Governance. It ends up being an entire career that is only concerned with how to compose management policies, working within environmental policies and employment policies to create environments that thrive, are sustainable as well as include self-governing mechanisms.

I suggest you locate someone with this type of graduate education and ask them where to start if one is serious about the issues raised by this article. I can guarantee you, unless the people behind this are pure stupid manipulators, they have governance specialists already working on their behalf, and they are using $400 words to describe what they are doing.

Pretty much every corporation over 10,000 people have someone either on their staff or on the corporate board whose sole role is governance. This important area is already populated with high level experts with their own Scientology-technical-speak one must know to be taken seriously.

I don't agree with the author's premise - the reason that users create duplicate issues isn't completely (or even mostly) because they can't add comments onto old issues.

If it _was_, then surely the typical duplicate issue would start with "Reopening #1234" since the user has literally looked at that page already.
From brief conversations with the team behind the GitHub stale bot, the original idea was clearing up tickets where the user didn't respond to the maintainer. I don't think this is what happens usually though. Sadly most cases I see are the same as the angular case in this article.

I made an issue suggesting tickets not be marked as stale if they've not had a maintainer comment yet. As you can imagine, the stale bot installed on the repo itself kept trying to close it due to it being "stale". After several months the irony wore off and I let it get closed.
A better product because of government regulation. No business will sell a product that doesn't need to be replaced as often if they aren't forced to do so. The way of the free market is driving us into the ground.

Sometimes it is, a lot of the time it's not, or at least not so much so that you're a bad programmer if you do solve a problem but it's not as efficient as it could be. If there's one thing I've realized over a number of jobs where I tried to do things right, it's that most of the time all the work you do doesn't matter, won't last, and your bosses only care that they can list some feature on the product page. They define good programmer as someone who gets their tickets in on time, and if it matters, they can budget for you to improve it with another one.

It's also totally fine to waste some of your user's time if you first create value for them that they didn't have before. That's the nature of iteration and MVPs
I'm not exactly sure how you imagine the collisions to play out. If you think anything gets "stuck" in your foam, you're underestimating the speeds at which objects in orbit move. It's more like shooting a railgun at your impactor. I also recommend Netwon's impact depth approximation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impact_depth

For the purposes of deorbiting junk it may be sufficient to just impart some delta-v, but you neither want that to be uncontrolled collisions sending stuff into even more erratic orbits, nor would you want to risk generating even more tiny pieces.
I also didn't like it. Someone could easily overpass this statement and start a myth.

If a Danish news paper profiled their advertising specifically for me because they happened to know how much money I spend on Warhammer figures, they would be breaking our laws.

Even with the GDPR, Google can do the same thing legally.

And google goes beyond just advertising doesn't it? If I google air humidity in my town, because I want to spray prime Warhammer figures, google selects which site it shows me the information from in the google widget thing. Maybe it's not as bad as Facebook, but what happens if you search for the covid-19 vaccine and you're an anti-vaxxer? What data ends up in googles info-boxes then?
If you'd ever build an artificial "sponge moon" with the goal of assimilating as much spacejunk as possible you'd probably not want to circulate its orbit. But I doubt you'd ever face that decision, given the absurd materials requirements imposed by orbital collisions.
That is untrue. German civil law grants monetary compensation to a person whose personal rights have been unlawfully infringed upon (immaterial damages, §253 BGB).

Not directly related, but the Learning@home [1] project aims to achieve precisely that goal of public, volunteer-trained neural networks. The idea is that you can host separate "experts," or parts of your model (akin to Google's recent Switch Transformers paper) on separate computers.

This way, you never have to synchronize the weights of the entire model across the participants — you only need to send the gradients/activations to a set of peers. Slow connections are mitigated with asynchronous SGD and unreliable/disconnected experts can be discarded, which makes it more suitable for Internet-like networks.

Disclaimer: I work on this project. We're currently implementing a prototype, but it's not yet GPT-3 sized. Some issues like LR scheduling (crucial for Transformer convergence) and shared parameter averaging (for gating etc.) are tricky to implement for decentralized training over the Internet.

You can also be certain that these numbers include all the false-positives. One of the Open Source pages I maintain got blocked as well, because too many AV reported one library package as malware.

Well one way you could confirm is to run your own instance of the server and run the client against it and the client works as if you are going against Moxie's server

You forget that bail is refunded upon appearing to the court. A rich person will post bail, gain their freedom, and get the bail refunded to them when they go to court. A poor person can not afford to post bail, so they will lose their freedom. No-one will "refund" this lost freedom to them in any form.
>For example Germany have zero benefits for letting Google, Amazon, Facebook and co. to drain profit and suffocate local competition while not paying any taxes or creating any meaningful jobs here.

>I wish Germany, France and the rest of EU would just push for more regulations and taxation of foreign digital companies

See, this is the problem. You're looking at the big EU countries and stopping there. Smaller EU countries in many ways feel the same about larger EU countries. Foreign banks basically took over the banking sectors of former Soviet states and then you got things like the Danske Bank money laundering case. When Bulgarian truck drivers tried to use their competitive advantage of lower average incomes, rules were drafted to bar them from it. On top of all that brain drain is still ongoing. The EU as a whole is one of the most unequal economic zones in terms of income.

If those countries did things like you propose then there wouldn't be an EU or it would be significantly smaller.

>Great EU firewall

I know what the internet is like under the lead of the US. It's not amazing, but it's pretty good. I'm afraid that EU-net will be a far worse place judging by how regulated many things are in Germany or how if things are against French (and other western European) interests then EU-wide rules are drafted to stop that.

Large EU countries along with the EU work as a good counterbalance to the US when it comes to the internet. But I fear that if you remove the US from the equation then you end to with something worse.

Cython - in fact I think in 2021 if you want to write a pure C or pure C++ program, Cython is the best way to go, and just disable use of CPython.

The “need to rewrite” is actually a sort of advantage with Cython. You only target small pieces of your program to be compiled to C or C++ for optimization, and the rest where runtime is already fast enough or otherwise doesn’t matter, you seamlessly write in plain Python.

Using extension modules is just a time-tested, highly organized, modular, robust design pattern.

Julia and others do themselves a disservice by trying to make “the whole language automatically optimized” which counter-intuitively is worse than make the language overall optimized for flexibility instead of speed, yet with an easy system to patch optimization modules anywhere they are needed.
Absolutely many companies are creating an expectation to have teams on personal devices, such as a phone. And teams uses dark patterns to trick users into allowing the company to manage the whole device, not just the teams app.

I hear mixed stories about this. The automated system does exist, but there is also a need to supervise the automated system and so I read that there is still human in/on the loop. The russians suffered an accident tied to a similar system that triggered a launch escape tower prematurely, causing a fire that eventually destroyed the entire rocket on the pad. The flight had been delayed but the system was still activate. After several hours it perceived the slow rotation of the earth as the rocket being off course and triggered.
