Also, just some more feedback on making this a business that is charging for holding people's private information:

* Your privacy policy should be an actual privacy policy, stating what information you collect rather than just stating how you are super private and hate all the "crap" that other vendors do. Particularly as when combined with the terms, this is not GDPR compliant.

* Intentionally putting your term and conditions in a hard to read font to make a joke about rental cars is probably not good business sense - Just make them easy to read straight out, it just looks more professional, and also makes it look like you aren't hiding something, particularly when...

* The terms are terrible for customers! "This service is not suitable for any purpose [and users] are expressly warned not to harbor any expectations at all, reasonable or otherwise." - I don't think these terms sound like what is sold on the main page! I'm in the UK and here at least consumers have a right to purchase something that is fit-for-purpose and you can't exclude that within T&C's, but not sure if it's different in the states! Either way, I don't think you should sell something, and then state in the terms and conditions that it's not suitable for the purpose you are selling it for.
Well... no warrants were issued, no search conducted, and nothing seized.

Where is the violation?

Not saying this is good, just that it isn’t against the constitution. If the data is publicly available for purchase, nothing in the constitution says the government can’t buy it.
Definitely. I typically have browsers open in two or three different workspaces, for different purposes and with different profiles. But within any browser session, I never have more than half-a-dozen open tabs. I can't really mentally manage more than that.

> In that case it could be interesting to plan for future reinforcements, and continue to run the simulations as time passes and the situation evolves.

While I agree that the idea is good, I imagine that at a point where you are planning to extend your dam by another 20m, you already have to implement the required changes in your foundation and general structure and additionally, turbines and emergency vents have to be upsized for the extended heights. So the only thing you are now missing during build is the extra 20m of dam, as the rest has to be built anyways. This leads back to my initial point of the right amount of over-/underprovisioning..

I am not sure if I understood the second point correctly, but you can obviously tell when a dam becomes too dangerous. This can either be because the foundation has set and you now have increased structural stress, the amount of water has increased beyond the maximum allowed levels or a multitude of other reasons, but they are actively monitored.
It depends on how severe and consistent the jamming is. If the receiver has a good lock (and a good clock) and a basic IMU then jamming on the last few minutes of approach might not cause too much drift -- but it could certainly spook a pilot into diverting.

As to mitigation, it is all expensive (in terms of antenna construction and processing) and GA is price sensitive. Airports with urban buildup get multi-path interference in the GPS signal and jamming signals, and it becomes complicated to computationally null the jamming signals. Chirp jammers are now as cheap as basic noise jammers.

Anyway, it's not so easy, look at any current research paper on anti-jam. Imagine if 500 MAGA/Antifa types plugged in PPDs over a city wide area and kept them mobile? It would be chaos.

Or that the body politic has a very active life, which might not be a bad thing. I don't know how the Indian constitution is amended, but typically it's the sort of activity that requires large majorities. Isn't it somewhat inspiring, that a country so big could unanimously change its basic rules so often?

Obviously there are questions of whether that unity was real or somewhat manufactured, but still, at face value it's a Good Thing. I'd rather they keep agreeing on amendments than they start disagreeing and disenfranchising from their democratic institutions.
In the last two years I had my first child, finished a PhD, moved across the country away from all family, Moved again and changed jobs to a much more stressful, demanding, and higher paying job during the pandemic, bought a house in a high income area, lost two grandmothers, and had a second child. In approximately that order. The amount of insomnia I’ve been battling from all this has made it rather disconcerting to read about all the damage it does.
My small company spends thousands per year on TeamViewer licenses, just because RDP can not attach to running desktop sessions (using Nvidia graphics cards). Do you think this is something that could change in the future, or is it a fundamental property of RDP?

I really dislike our reliance on TeamViewer, especially now in covid times where were relying even more on remote access.

Please don't disregard that with investing in solar panels, you're eventually losing your principal. It's only after the 10-year payback that you actually start making yields i.e. for a 15-year life span, those hypothetical panels are only making 50% back over 15 years - a 3% return at best.
GDP has always struck me as an artificial metric that doesn't apply to workers not involved in international trade.

Just because you think you can handle dangerous chemicals properly doesn't mean you actually can.

And even if you actually can it doesn't mean you actually should.

Probably shouldn't handle any more than you actually have to to get by.

There are so many other chemicals to choose from.

Perfluorinated hydrocarbons are really just fluorocarbons since they have no hydrogen. But the solvent and gaseous behavior can be similar to hydrocarbons while being non-flammable instead.
Fluorocarbons are very stable compounds and after you have inhaled an anesthetic amount of volatile fluorocarbon compound under clinical conditions, it is expected that the material will wear off by evaporating back out of your system completely unmetabolized and leaving no fluorine behind. I accept that and it's probably not even harmful compared to ether or cyclopropane.

If the carbon skeleton of the molecule is not completely saturated with fluorine but instead has an organic acid group in one of the positions, then it's no longer a plain fluorocarbon since now there's a bit of oxygens in the molecule and their associated hydrogen so you call it a perfluorinated organic acid.

These correspond to the same hydrocarbon skeleton having the same acid group, which are just called plain ordinary organic acids. Many of which are biochemicals such as acetic acid which is the active ingredient in common vinegar.

Except the presence of fluorine can make the corresponding acid much stronger and not behave so much like its nonfluorinated counterpart.

Sometimes the more fluorine the worse until you reach full perfluorination.

You just can't always wash this stuff off. Don't ask me how I know.

Such perfluorinated acids can theoretically react with things that are not even considered alkalis, it would be possible to take a permanent place in a metabolic pathway which millions of years of evolution have arrived at based on organic acids which bond and unbond at a characteristic pH and no permanent members are expected to remain at all times.

The fluorine can become a permanent part of you.

That wouldn't be the best way to strive for millions more years of continuity.

There were so many other chemicals to choose from.

But it's a little too late now.

What's the digital equivalent?

Is there some toxic product or byproduct that has permeated further & deeper than it was actually safe to do, and now it looks like it could be impossible to recover to the pre-toxic condition?

Is it just a matter of unbridled greed, unlimited scale, or are these things that should never be touched at all?

That may or may not be true but as per the article, building standards like that are defined in terms of 1 in 100 or 1 in 1000 year events etc. The years bit in Japan will be defined already in their standard for designing a protection for tsunami events. Now, I don't know what 1 in n years is used but I suspect that it would be 1 in 500 or 1000 years. If a 1 in 10000 years event turns up then the inevitable happens.

So all we have to look up is the standard and the event and compare. Even then you have to design to account for what to do and what happens in the event of your wall's failure and that is probably where things went really wrong.

I like how the Olympic committee has tried to take into account that the buildout of facilities every 4 years follows a similar boom/bust cycle, and they're at least trying to think about how we can satisfy both short-term and long-term goals at the same time.

For instance, a stadium where 30% of the seats are built to last, and the remaining 70% are bolted on, meant to be taken back off and recycled after the closing ceremonies.

I don't know how you build a mask factory so you can use it for something else. I do know of textile factories that have pivoted temporarily. Can you build up a short-lived production line for an integrated circuit and then tear it down but leave all of the infrastructure in place to pivot to something else? What I hear out of Intel is that setting up such a fab is a long and expensive process.

What I also hear is a lot of people challenging Intel's wisdom. So now I don't know what to think.
Ask HN: Can a privacy policy comply with laws without guaranteeing any privacy?
Does a privacy policy need to guarantee a certain amount of privacy, or can it simply say you have no privacy and still be compliant?

For example, this privacy policy says you have no privacy:

I'm not familiar with the site. I found it by searching HN about privacy policies and I was wondering if this is just snarky or whether it's actually okay to do.

I think that single person electorates and direct voting for the executive branch are not exactly helping this situation.

I wonder if it would be batter if the primary power was in the hands of a multi-party, proportionally elected assembly with representation greater the 1 assembly member per a population of 20.000 residents (for both national and local governments) and no executive branch (or perhaps executive branch being experts hired by the assembly). There would certainly be less room to blame here (or at least the blame would be on the entire governing body; which could be voted out proportionally rather then individual representatives).

It's valuable because it explains some actions that may be foreign to the observer. It may not be particularly common in most people's lives, and it may not occur to some people at all, but it's especially true in some politics or business relationships that are incomprehensible if you don't have it as a tool.

Every nerd knob for RDP host configuration can be found under this tree in the group policy editor https://i.imgur.com/PtN0fNt.png

The 2 you need to enable to just enable RemoteFX are "Use hardware graphics adapters for all Remote Desktop Service sessions" to Enabled and "RemoteFX for Windows Server 2008 R2/Configure RemoteFX" to "Enabled". These 2 should net you GPU acceleration in the remote session.

For GPU accelerated encoding you can also set "Configure H.264/AVC hardware encoding for Remote Desktop Connections" to "Enabled".

Those 3 policies are all I usually tick but the rest of the policies in that tree are nerd knob tunables with many relating to bandwidth/resource utilization/image quality tradeoffs if that so interests you.

Nor do you want to invest your money in artificially inflated stock.

Coming out of the pandemic we are going to see a monumental shift in lifestyle and economics. It is that crisis that replaces old guards with new champions.

SPACs had a bad reputation, but in the current circumstances seem pretty reasonable. I guess in terms of risk-benefits it is an intermediate between VC & established stocks (and we have seen how stable that has been in 2020 :) )
I think the article is missing the immense value of simply having a good default serialization.

For most data models expressed in most languages, you can define a single canonical JSON representation that can be easily provided by a library.

Then, there come the corner cases of course. And you do need to add a lot of code to handle them. But good defaults + some customizability is a very good strategy for many problems.

It is true that you can encounter problems where your data model is so far away from JSON that it's a better idea to just transform it entirely by hand. But the very reason JSON caught on is that these cases are rare in the industry.
In ten years, nobody will be mooning over M1. To be "blown away" is to be very confused.

In the past fifteen years, CPU performance improvements have been minor and incremental. M1 is such an incremental improvement: M1 performs well, and Apple has reason to be pleased with the increment.

For performance per dollar, it is less compelling. For my needs, it absolutely falls flat. I will not be buying it.

So, I'm sitting down to create CSS ... what does the browser need to do first: margins on body ... which of them comes first as you scroll down: the top of the body ...

If you came from print publishing, and assume that the browser handles the gutter spacing with defaults then it might even be argued that the right margin should come next!

It's just something you have to learn, none of the options seem more logical to me.

I get these on Dancos mailing list and haven't finished article yet but reading the comment thread I'm super interested in how provocative it was to HN.

The Gervais Principle was a great/cynical popular summary of some more refined ideas in management theory. Generalizing it to a theory of post-internet globalized class seems straight forward, with the caveat that it can only be as useful as any theory of class. It's the Marxist ceiling, like how classical Newtonian physics is fantastic for modelling coarse engineering problems, and loses coherence when applied to the nature of reality, and doesnt provide much more than some metaphors for things as normal as economics. Reading through it, I don't think this was written so much as an explanatory piece for an HN audience as it was to find others thinking about these problems.
Because your economy is not living up to it's potential. You can clearly see it in the lack of growth. China has changed rapidly and that means the US has to change rapidly.
Mapping JSON to rigidly typed languages is also a bit of a problem. E.G. in golang you can use Interface, for some level of performance cost, to handle arbitrary maps of (string) keys to (arbitrary, Interface?) values.

Usually I've encountered JSON blobs that start with a map (dictionary / object / whatever) of keys to values, but they might also be lists, or maybe even just a string in the case of errors. The values can also be of any type.

For rapid prototyping or cases where performance is trivial, I would really like a language to have some kind of object tree type which can represent any of JSON's data types. It would only need to be converted / cast at the leaf level, when transforming data to/from JSON.

The same data structure would also be useful for manipulating any other 'trivial within memory' documents, like XML or anything else that easily fits within memory.

Extra bonus points if the interface type is also an option for external databases to wired up and mapped as an ORM.

Golang has some kind of comments based decorator that does this for XML and JSON mapping of native objects, but it tends to be clunky and I generally end up hating myself for using it on anything not trivial. Offhand I'm not sure if there's a more proper way of implementing it via configuration files / scripts or programatically (build or runtime?)...

It'd be interesting to see if any languages have an effective and easy solution to this issue; any suggestions from others?
Funny. I should have been more thorough. I skimmed the article, and thought it was Sony's effort to provide journalists with a portable version of their mainframe-connected boxed back in the office.

I must have made that mental link because of the name, and because of Sony's long history of producing news gathering and production gear. (The predecessor of the Walkman was the Pressman. My first introduction to XML was a Sony media server.)

I would argue that we would indeed need more democracy (see sibling comment).

The current situation in many of the world’s leading democracies is that representation is abysmal and the democratic process is gamified in such a way as to encourage this kind of blame-game. I’m pretty sure there exists a way to optimize the democratic process in such a way that this blame-game doesn’t happen.
One of the great things about English (and other languages) is that you don't need to speak or write with perfect grammar and usage in order to be understood.

I understand the irritation with errors though as they read like visual noise.

I like 'nitpick' as a verb though, and also 'go over with a fine-toothed comb' - a method for both literal and figurative nit-picking.

Two crowns are owned by the US: design and verification/design software and hardware tooling (my career is in verification). That's why China is non-export list for all of chip-design tooling and why China is now investing into their own tooling.
