I believe these projects have been done at least to some extent. Certainly the US intelligence community has put out a few bits of information on Russian-led disinformation campaigns. QAnon has been as I understand the most difficult to trace so far because of where it originated.

One of the communities I wondered about for a while was The Great Awakening. They had a way of speaking that was so over the top that I couldn’t help but wonder just how real can it be? Specifically, they keep always calling each other “patriot” the way that Soviet citizens called each other comrade. Except, in the Soviet case it was a long thing in the making while TGA popped up overnight on Reddit so where did that come from. And their way of speaking really smelled to me like there were a ton of bots there. So, can you imagine waking up one day and realize that the political identity you’ve taken on and been discussing with people you now consider friends online has been in fact handed to you by a bunch of boys? And on top of that, the very “friends” you were talking to were largely bots? That’s gotta be a rude awakening to say the least.

So one comment here on ingress vs egress. The type of forwarding a switch does, store & forward vs cut through can effect where you see the errors. In S&F the switch buffers the full packet before it switches it out. If the FCS is off at that point it drops the packet. In CT the switch will start forwarding a packet before it has received the full packet, so a corrupt packet will be seen on the other side even several hops away if the full chain is CT. Some switches do some magic on the fly and if they ID the packet as bad sometime before the final data they will purposely corrupt the packet so the other side see it. To be clear I am speaking in general terms and there are more details here. Kalpana did the first CT switch back in 90s. Cisco picked them up. CT sort of died there until Fulcrum ASICS in the early 2000s. Arista’s 71xx line used their Bali chips. CT hit mainstream again with the release of the Broadcom Trident which was used by every major player (Arista 7050, Cisco Nexus 3K, Juniper QFX, etc.)
Anyone know if this release also includes the recently[1] added in-kernel wireguard?

I've gotten used to put 'beginning of ...' and 'end of ...' comments into a large project to demarcate large functions or collections of them, along with inline documentation. Line numbers are worthless for this.

It'd be great if there were FORMAL ways * to demarcate that are standard (yeah, what XKCD said) in ALL languages. Then anyone could just run a 'show architecture' application on the code and it would always be current.

After a few months (or thousands of loc), that map in your head starts to fade.

> This isn't a gender thing. [...] (being an old parent just sucks) [...] //

There is a deal of sex-based difference here: being an older mother is harmful for the mother and the child; being an older father is far, far, less so (older fathers might be better for their kids?). Young women can choose a mate from all ages of men. Young men need to choose a mate -- if they wish to procreate I mean -- from the pool of fertile and healthy younger women. Medical science has eroded a little of that difference, but it still starts to get dangerous for women to fall pregnant in their late-30s.

An example of how that difference plays out is that in a childless couple at age 50 the woman basically has no chance to have children of her own, but the male could quite reasonably be expected to be fertile for a couple more decades. Thus, if a couple are unable to procreate and the male wishes to do so, then there is a tension; a biological impetus towards them leaving their wife and finding another partner.

They explicitly say it in the article (in the second paragraph, visible even to non-subscribers) that there is no correlation in the first years of life of the son/daughter. Interesting hypothesis but seems false from what I read in the article.

> But, unlike previous work, their study also looked at the effect of the girl’s age. It found that “daughter-divorce” risk emerges only in a first-born girl’s teenage years (see chart). Before they reach the age of 12, daughters are no more linked to couples splitting up than sons are.
Some of these already exist in certain niches. For example, there are a fair number of "chef-style" ranges with no smart features. I have a gas unit with all analog controls and its only electric features are the oven light and the piezoelectric igniters for the gas burners. I expect it will last close to forever though, somewhat ironically, it did cost more than the smart-feature-laden ovens you'll find in most consumer stores. There are also commercial fridges without lots of extraneous features though they're often not ideal for consumer applications due to the way they look, the amount of noise they make when cooling, and their size.

I'd love to see more such "dumb" options in the TV and auto markets but I suspect we overestimate the demand for such things because we HN readers are largely tech-savvy. I think the ideal would be dumb devices with open APIs so that third-party smart features could be added, but that's of negative benefit to manufacturers (lack of vendor lock-in, potential for brand damage due to poorly-implemented third-party features, etc.), so I'm not optimistic about that happening.
If the average person expect their car to least 10 years then a lot of people are expecting their car to last more than 10 years.

Actual average age of cars on the road in the US is around 12 years. If you are not in the rust belts, it is common to still see cars from the nineties. They are usually driven by people who could not afford a newer car or could not afford major expensive or hard to get parts.

Is it?

It seems weird to say "well you signed some papers, so it's extremely valuable that you're together for some legal purposes rather then happy".

The point of repairing a relationship is to remember that you once were happy and can be again by correcting behaviors and the like. But it seems bizarre to assume that's assured - it's even more bizarre to think it would be wrong to acknowledge that maybe you'd only wind up content but not happy, and so a separation is still preferable.

Or that actually you'd be happier alone then with someone else, but not exactly miserable if you were still with them etc.
I like minifying as an extra step to syntax check evaluate the code before it's shipped - very much like a compiler it can find some bugs...
I agree. I've been eating vegan a while, and I've hated certain foods such as onions for my whole life. A ton of fake meat is pre-seasoned with onions and other stuff. Hard to find things I even want to try among it. Typically a beef hotdog would come unseasoned, so it's a bit unfortunate.

There's still plenty good food to eat, but the fake meat is not the most exciting stuff to me.

> You'd have to do a much deeper analysis than looking at Amazon's profit margins given the fact that they have all sorts of automation their employees didn't pay for.

If I understand correctly, you are saying that the value delivered by the robots that perform the automation has nothing to do with Amazon's minimum wage workers. That value can go straight into Jeff Bezos's bank account, and justice will be served, because he is the lawful owner of the robots. He created the company that earned the profits that were reinvested in the R&D that developed and paid for those robots, so he deserves the profits from them.

If you look a little closer, you'll see that every dollar of those profits over time came from the actual work that each minimum wage worker put in for every hour they worked. What they got back was $12 per hour, or $15 per hour even, but what they contributed to Amazon was more like $25 per hour, or $50 per hour, or $200 per hour - it depends on the profit margin of the goods they were transceiving.

The economic system you are familiar with awards all those profits to the owner of the capital, and even demands of him less tax for earnings than it does of the hourly labourer. The minimum wage workers get a fixed amount per hour, whilst the owner of capital gets a variable amount per hour.

That doesn't make it right, or fair, or just. To be fair and just, all of those thousands of minimum wage workers over the last 20 years would have received equity that was proportional to the share of the effort they contributed to build the business.

But the workers received no equity. At least, the unskilled workers received no equity. Equity was only offer to workers higher up.

Why? That's the system.

Why is that the system? It would take a longer discussion than we are having here, in a broader context to really shine a light on it. We can have that discussion whenever you like. In the meantime, don't assume all the value came from Jeff Bezos's sweaty hands. The truth is not as clean as that.
Here are two options which various people might find intuitive:

1. Make a good old numeric for loop like "for ii in range(len(df))" with df.iloc or df.ix, etc.

2. Use df.apply() to create a new DataFrame with your changes.

Both of these are mentioned in brief answers to that SO post. But not in the accepted answer. A lot of the answers focus on the most efficient ways to do things, even though the question was very basic and did not imply the data were large.

Well, lucky for you, both (in fact, all three) are still available. But, as a statistical matter, Ibuprofen is safer. Not only because the liver is such a contentious point for drug elimination, including alcohol, but due to the ability to fix overdoses. Even with minor overdoses (such as mixing with alcohol), paracematol causes permanent liver damage, whereas stomach ulcers can be repaired. More than 100,000 people die annually from Paracematol overdoses. Ibuprofen is sold more, and has fewer than 16,000 deaths.

Meaning it's delta one. That is, it moves in near perfect tandem to the spot price.
Correct. I'm saying it behaves like a futures contract in the sense it is delta one. It serves the same purpose as a futures contract but achieves that through a different mechanism.

EDIT: My apologies, you are right. I called it a "Perpetual Future" in my OP, which was a typo. It should've read "Perpetual Swap".
My thinking on this was the exact opposite. Emergencies like this are precisely when you need these types of agencies the most, because you're talking about treatments that will be taken by a huge amount of people in a short timespan. Negative effects from treatment could end up as a catastrophe on their own. It's more important than ever to get it right.
As someone younger who is HoH, I have no objection to the term hearing impaired. Though I can understand why someone might find it derogatory as it does, indeed, emphasize the lack of ability.

But that's actually why I use the term myself. I have found that euphemisms, including "hard of hearing" often don't successfully communicate what needs to be conveyed.

"Hard of hearing" just doesn't seem to sink in. Even "very hard of hearing" doesn't. Often the other person thinks it must be like struggling to hear the high notes in music or something. While I'm not deaf (and definitely not culturally Deaf), I generally can't understand spoken language without amplification. This often seems to surprise people, even when I've told them ahead that I'm hard of hearing.

"Nearly deaf" or "mostly deaf" would be accurate enough, but it feels odd and I don't like it. "Severe hearing impairment" communicates my experience, and also the accommodations I may need from others, quite effectively.

It depends entirely on your market. It's not that the cars don't last that long, it's that cars this old are commonly shipped out to places with a lower standard of living (and maintenance requirements/testing).
That's especially interesting considering that they didn't allow poll observers to observe the process.

And I'm perhaps being tedious was my attempt to avoid the grating tone you've replied with.

And I'll still repeat myself. Someone leading a safety activity should avoid making misleading statements, regardless of whether they are serious, humorous, darkly humorous, or whatever.

Having read the paper a bit, it seems likely that people choosing to take a safety class are at a point in their activities where the familiarity and consistency heuristics are a bigger pitfall than an awareness of dangerous conditions. Of course I don't know this, my first comment is posed a question for a reason.

Mine are currently the opposite. My daughter (10) has been a handful pretty much since she turned three. Love her to pieces, but nothing about raising her is easy. My son (8) is super relaxed, laid back, compliant. He gets into fights with his sister, but she is the one who picks the fights. She's also much larger than he is, which does not help.

> insulate myself from people who can control me and make me feel miserable.

I'd like to know the answer to this aswell. It just may not be possible, not without also insulating from all the good people in the world. My current strategy is to run the other way as fast as I can whenever I find one of these control freaks coming my way. And on the other hand, to glue myself to people that I do work well with. Anyway, solving this riddle is 80% of the "problem", the other 20% is the what/where/when, etc. (IMO.)
This is a useless post, except as basic reading for those completely clueless about free software licenses.

There are different senses of 'free', the GPL captures one of them. Freedom of the software itself to 'live' evolve, be used. The point isn't to stop anyone from using the software. It's specifically to stop someone from using modified software and not sharing the changes for others to use. The license limitations are to promote software use and distribution.

A completely different take on 'free' is permissiveness for the user of the software to do as they please.

Each has its uses, choose an appropriate license and stop whining.

I think because in modern english, the common word you would use to differentiate a PhD vs MD is professor or scientist, while doctor nowadays means 'healer' usually.

We aren't the only language that has one word for multiple professions, like sensei means teacher OR medical doctor in japanese.

I find it... funny that a core reason they're citing as a reason Intel is better than M1 is that "it can play a bigger library of games".

Great, you made an x86 chip, that's not inherently a reason that your chip is better. Once most software is written for ARM then you will fall by the wayside.
The negativity might be warranted if they had encouraged other people to follow, or if they were trying to DIY-vaccinate others.

But that's not what happened here. These are two capable adults experimenting strictly on themselves and being transparent about it. That deserves respect. You might think "that seems like a stupid risk, I would never do that", and that's a fine take. But don't judge.

Where's the "hacker" in hacker news if everyone immediately reaches for admonishment and appeals to authority.

A lot of people in these comments overestimate how clean and linear and officially-sanctioned scientific progress is, especially in biomed.

In the 1980s, an Australian doctor suspected that ulcers are caused by a specific kind of bacterial infection. At the time, the medical consensus was that ulcers came from stress and diet. His ideas and evidence were ignored. So he drank a beaker of H. pylorii culture, got an endoscopy before and two weeks later, and demonstrated convincingly that he'd given himself ulcers this way.

He ended up winning a Nobel prize.

This is the opposite of what I teach my sons about men and women. The truth is, women are every bit as capable of being shitheads as men. Gender plays zero role in a person’s capacity to empathize, be trustworthy, and love. I think we set men up for failure when we encourage them to put women on a pedestal. There’s the risk they do that and don’t get the results they’re after and develop a strong bias against women—all because they’ve been misinformed their whole life about gender roles and behavior.
Silicon Valley’s Dangerous Game of Occasionally Not Eating
He was clearly dissuading widespread mask use back in March, but what he said specifically was: "There’s no reason to be walking around with a mask. When you’re in the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better and it might even block a droplet, but it’s not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is. And, often, there are unintended consequences — people keep fiddling with the mask and they keep touching their face." - Dr Fauci, March 8, 60 Minutes [0]

I do wish he'd said, instead, that masks provide asymmetric protection -- protecting the wearer less than protecting others from the wearer, and that ideally everyone would wear masks to protect each other, but that there were extreme shortages, and that first responders needed to be the priority for now. Or, something that included enough information to remain straightforwardly valid over time despite the situational dynamics.

edit -- in a July 15 interview with InStyle magazine [1] he said: "I don't regret anything I said then because in the context of the time in which I said it, it was correct..."

"When it became clear that the infection could be spread by asymptomatic carriers who don't know they're infected, that made it very clear that we had to strongly recommend masks."

I'm not sure about cheaper, I think that might have some of effects - perceived inferiority, etc.
