> Family dynamics can get very ugly.

Yeah, no questions about that.

Ah, okay, thanks for the explanation. Yeah, I understand this argument. Emotional abuse, exploitation of vulnerable groups (from elderly, minors, to folks with disabilities, homeless, unemployed, persecuted minorities, etc. etc, alas the list goes on for long) is already a problem, and in many jurisdictions it's already pushed back against.

I think protective care would help more if it were independent of euthanasia, because it would mean that if the manipulated relatives find out they have been manipulated and then change their minds about euthanasia then they don't have to go back to their manipulative relatives. (Duh, I know, but this catch-22 problem is very endemic in a lot of public "safety net" setups.)

> Making assisted suicide legal and giving it a framework will encourage it, and any procedural hurdles won't stop that.

It meaning manipulating others into it? Yes, that's probably tautologically true. But, that's the plan, to make it easier anyway, as it should decrease suicides, and even more importantly it should decrease time spent in misery and suffering. (And as I mentioned pushing back against exploitation should be a priority anyway.)
I think they would do better to solve the business model at the genesis of the issue. The Attention economy brought the conspiracy and outrage machine to each of our phones. There's an addict in my pocket. We need the political willpower to say "Yea you are a rich money making company, but a harm for X, Y reasons, and therefore this is the new regulation for companies profiting on an attention based model." There will be fallout, solutions require it, we must have courage and stop putting companies and money on a pedestal above people.
As Kowalski has acknowledged and reported by others, Prolog was invented as a subset of Planner that only implemented backward chaining.

Obama did far more to silence opposing viewpoints than Trump did. But you probably don't know about what Obama did, because his administration's intimidation and jailing of reporters worked.

How many reporters did the Trump administration throw in jail?
While this is probably not the case, this could be a subversive attack on potential competitors if Epic is planning to release a MMO in the near future that doesn't have Gamble Boxes. Many many competitors would be in danger of a similar lawsuit and could find themselves cut off at the knees right as Epic launches their own MMO or F2P mobile game.

This is probably too Machiavellian, but it's not like the industry isn't rife with Gamble Boxes. There are a lot of companies that are basically dependent on gambling for the majority of their income.
> If only somehow the government could determine what is true...

You say this in relation to a criminal trial but two things:

1. The government can not determine guilt or innocence. It determines guilt beyond a reasonable doubt which is a distinction worth considering. There is an implicit admission of uncertainty and unknowability.

2. A panel of judges determining truth is a concept that has existed historically and in fiction. It plays out exactly as you'd expect it would. The powerful control the panel and suppress all those who dissent.

Surely you haven't thought this through. Do you really want the entirety of your life to be a criminal trial where a panel of judges (or citizens) determine what you ought to think and feel?
At some point yesterday, BTC/USD pair was trading up to 400$ lower than the BTC/USDT, that should be enough to tell you that a lot of people don't really want the USDT anymore and were willing to pay a 400$ premium to get real USD, it will start getting ugly at some point
I do.

I implemented a specialized json-patch and tested it with gopter.

My colleague implemented an equivalent of `openssl passwd` in go and used gopter to test it (comparing outputs between his implementation and what openssl returns).

Needless to say, gopter found subtle bugs in both cases.

I came to property-testing from PropEr (erlang), and was pleasantly surprised how well gopter worked for us.
I agree, the unwashed masses do destroy most of everything. Granted Harvard is not what it used to be, same as an MS is not what it used to be, a Phd is not what it used to be. In the past the quality was even higher, more akin to an artisan workshop than whatever mass-anything you could conceive of.
Ask HN: Does LinkedIn rate limit when browsing your own contacts?
I am not sure if what I experienced today is LinkedIn having problems with their servers or they are rate limiting users who browse through the platform.

I have around 1000 contacts and was looking through people I had not been talking to since before pandemic. And after seeing around 20 profiles LinkedIn started showing error page, even when I tried to access it from another browser in incognito mode (though from the same IP). I switched to something else and came back about an hour later, browsed another 20 of my direct contacts only to see the same error happening again.

Is LinkedIn rate limiting people when they are browsing through their direct contacts?
This was announced weeks ago. Before the rise recently.

> You're right, this wouldn't have happened if she were a straight white male

If anything, straight white males are trashed harder around here.

That's the only problem I've ever had with having a woman on the team: the fear of saying something that offends someone, her or other.
This was so much harder than I thought it was going to be. I would get a few right and then be absolutely sure of the next one and be wrong. After a while I felt like I was noticing more aesthetic differences between the gpt and real, rather than distinguishing between the two based on their content. Very interesting...
I did.

First is still the same 150cc replacement since the niche is sooo big.

Even if you cost as much as best 150cc on the market, somebody will still buy it for electric convenience, so load it up with cheap fancy features too like cruise control, seat heater etc.

A good 150cc has around 7-8kw of power, and it is the upper limit of a hub motor, and passive cooling, which you should capitalise on.

4.5kwh battery for 50-60km range. 6kwh premium option for around 80km.

Air cooled motor controller for a completely liquid free design.

Screechingly, you can fit into $5000-6000 premium 150cc segment.
This is not financial advice. This is just a reflection of knowledge that has kept all my long term investments stable or growing through every dip and shift in the last 25 years.

- Stable index funds are the best long term hedge. (Date targeted mutual funds have largely been doing very well in the last 15+ years too.)
- Then consider LONG TERM materials investments.
- Then consider Treasury Inflation Protected Securities.
- Then consider property, as in real estate.

Actually personally I'd drop the materials at this point. It's easier to screw up materials investments and they're often in stable funds anyway.

This is all long term, you'll note. I would argue there are no true short term hedges. There are bets against the market and that's often what you see in "hedge funds" that go relatively short term. But if you're in that space, well, you probably shouldn't even be having this discussion on Hacker News. I'm sure I'll take flack for that reinterpretation but it's important to be honest about these things, and many make money in this space by eschewing that honesty.

But, your basic goal of keeping your money valuable long term is not a hard problem, it's literally a solved problem and it's what the S&P 500 & similar indexes and/or TIPS exist for. If you think you need to hedge against the fall of the US or at least the USD? I think you should be hedging outside the financial system entirely, go full prepper, because, that's where that fatalistic logic will take you ultimately anyway.

Actually, with less snark, it is always reasonable to keep moderate term survival in mind. An actual major financial meltdown would likely be survivable with minor prepper-like approach to long term food and water stores, especially if you own property. So maybe move property up on your list if you are in a position to own it outright, and bury some water and long term preserves there as a bonus?
Good rule I learned from the guy that taught writing for engineers, no matter what spell out acronyms the first time you use them.
>Of course some classes have prerequisites and time overlaps

One semester is designed with a particular set of prerequisites in mind. Most times, one prerequisite holds back every other class on the career path. So, if you don't take that one class that semester, you can only take the elective courses until you take that class. Which means that when you run out of electives, what was supposed to be one semester becomes two, with the only course you qualify for in the second being the one you missed (this isn't necessarily true for the spring semester, since you could take the missing class during the summer.)

This is fine, but it leads to a disparity; taking on more classes than the recommended workload has a pretty linear correlation with decreased time to a degree (though the problem still persists that you don't qualify for your next classes); but taking on less than the recommended often jumps straight to doubling the time needed for a degree, with very little room in-between.
The intellij local history works best when your code is a raging monolith. It punishes you when you find coupling in otherwise uncoupled code, and that punishment is there whether you leave the coupling or try to fix it.

One of the failure modes for people leaving a mess is if it's too hard to fix it they give up. So that's no good.

Haha yes, the industrial cloud is definitely a thing..

We faced challenges with getting such a system to be "industry ready" on the shoestring budget that we started with and hence our very first prototype that went into industry trials failed early. Our later version has taken on board all of the learnings from these first failures as well as a bit more budget.
The system uses engineering plastics (like acetal and polycarbonate) as well as high quality, off the shelf industrial products. That being said we have another 2 or so product iterations planned to continue to ruggedise the system further. Our customers on these sites can be very rough on the tools.

As other comments have pointed out, many colleges do not require you to stay for four years if you can finish faster. But most students do not want to, or are not capable of, taking twice the normal course load. Not everything is a conspiracy by the elites to extract more money from the masses.

Which is a digression from most of the main discussions here. Though in lieu of that digression other threads around here also point out the usefulness of pedal-assisted e-bikes and how the same trends leading to small EVs are causing an explosion in e-bikes right now as well.
It's political theater, but is still relevant and noteworthy as this kind of action pierces through the "but this isn't about the 1st Amendment because they're private companies and can de-platform anyone". Once FB, Twitter, or a cable company start censoring due to government pressure, then 1st amendment arguments are indeed applicable.
>On the hardware side: we put RFID tags that fit like washers under each zerk. These are read by a head unit that is retrofittable to existing grease guns, which includes a custom RFID reader integrated into the nozzle. It also includes a flow meter and supporting electronics. Our device has 4G, Wifi and LoRa for comms, but also operates in an offline mode for customers in remote locations. Our hardware is rugged, dust proof, and water proof for some of the toughest operational environments (and operators..)

Sounds expensive, grease zerk's are cheap, and easily replaceable, these sound expensive and likely just as prone to failure as a simple one.

>On the software side, we record each greasing in the cloud, right as the worker greases the zerk. Since most industry is still tracking this using paperwork, you can imagine how much more efficient this is. Our customers get back to production much faster.

This sounds like an over engineered, expensive version of a maintenance schedule. It's a management problem if they're not scheduling maintenance.

Workers are still stopping to grease machines, they're still using the same amount of grease, greasing the same spots at the same scheduled times. Tracking this by cloud adds nothing really from what I can tell.

This whole system would have driven me nuts when I was working machines doing biweekly greasing and maintenance.

It would have been just one more thing to worry about inside the machines and believe me, every little thing inside a machine that can go wrong, will go wrong at some point.

A couple of the machines had a few parts that were greased by a computer controlled auto greaser, it was always prone to trouble and needed to be adjusted frequently.

As you say yourself also, greasing maintenance is incredibly important to avoid downtime and machine damage, why should a company rely on your third party cloud for this?

What guarantee is there of its continued support and existence?

What happens if there's internet outages?

How does having a third party between me and the maintenance of my machines benefit me?

gcc ripped out its bison-generated parsers in favor of recursive descent parsers long ago, for exactly this reason (also, because C++ isn't LR-n for any n, so to get bison to work as well a third pass called "spew" sat between the lexer and the Bison parser so it could do arbitrary lookahead to figure out what the tokens were).
For the ones that were just part of the header file, listing a bunch of instance variables and function names, it seems impossible. But for the actual code, it is possible but still quite difficult, though I spent too long in finding some logical inconsistency that gave it away.

To clarify my comment, this is done with gentle reassurance and playfully, not as any sort of hazing or abuse, purely for health benefits.

It is common in many cultures in eastern europe and elsewhere and the health benefits are well known.
Electric locomotives on freight trains are pretty common in Europe probably because they can have a much higher power output in a smaller unit.

A pair of TGV power cars, one at each end of the train, has a max power of 12MW at full acceleration, you would need about 14 of these diesel locos for the same output.

The power here is 25kV at 50Hz apart from some commuter lines. Also modern electric trains can use regenerative braking to dump the braking energy back into the grid. It’s pretty common.
The heuristics seem pretty intrusive, so I doubt most ad networks would be interested in trying to meet them.
Lol yes. I'm currently avoiding opening up doors/windows because the cicadas are sufficiently loud that I've had ringing in my ears every night for the past week.

Not really... for a highly technical issue like this, at a minimum you should link to the technical details.

Yes, but when asked, "do you see a place for this sort of historical investigation of the consequences of past actions?" they said that the answer depends on whether it is "wielded as a weapon", which seems to imply that the answer in that case would be "no" - that if given a choice between only the options of being kept secret or being wielded as a weapon, they would prefer it be kept secret.
Weirdly for me Atlassian doesn't work when I have the spoof referrer enabled in about:config. Like why does referrer, a property that is a header, define whether my login is valid or not?
Yeah I'm 13,000 lines into a solo side project and haven't bothered with a single branch+merge. I've got a bunch of tests, but I don't test everything, I don't make sure every commit has tests. Commits are mostly checkpoints of when major feature achieve some kind of initial stability where I want to be able to diff back to last-known-working. I try to do better commits than "WIP" but they're something like "such and such feature now seems to actually work (lots of buggy edge conditions)". I'll throw in a lot of unrelated code cleanup that happens into single commits as well. I focus on moving the needle on the end results though and not having perfect process. Many bits of code that I have which work well enough don't have any tests at all. As I hit bugs I drill into code and fill out the tests that I didn't do. Simple code that is used all over the place and doesn't cause issues may not have any formal tests at all. I rarely actually bother to go back into my own git history, mostly I just use it like a quicksave in case I wind up dying at the next bossfight.

I think what'll get you in trouble more than having perfect process is writing spaghetti code that violates separation of concerns. If things are separated well, you should be able to come back and test it easily if it causes issues. Test the stuff that is complicated and obviously will cause issues if its not perfect. Test the stuff that is found to be buggy or needs to be proven to be not buggy in order to track down bugs. Don't bother with perfectly testing everything.

I've been adding a threaded AVL tree implementation lately. I definitely tested that extensively and did a savegame when the AVL tree was written and passing tests properly, and then added threads and did another couple of savegames. I'm going to build on top of that, and I need to be able to trust it without falling back into debugging it. I've got a Clamp01 function though which takes a double and ensures it is within 0 <= x <= 1 and I don't have that one tested. I'm pretty confident it works though.
This should have always been the only way it worked.

> We all waited till we were past 35 to have kids.

Many people were grandparents by that age 150 years ago.

I too have many friends who waited until their 30s to have children. Most ended up in IVF (or adopting.)

Fertility (not precisely the right term, but one commonly used) charts — based on age — are very steep. After the peak in the early to mid 20s, it plummets very quickly. For women, anyway.

The low-sperm count issue, on the other hand, is very curious... not entirely sure if they have a grip on the true cause.
Indeed. They rapidly go stale. Many of these lists are out-of-date by the time anyone finds them.

Maybe it's different for services, but lists of software often list projects that aren't maintained.

I've never found anything useful from any of these lists. What I do find useful is people on HN talking about what software/services they use.
Do they ever? There is a female title that applies to the husband's name rather than the wife's name -- when 宋美齡 marries 蔣介石, she can be referred to as 蔣夫人, but not 宋夫人 -- but that's a fact about the usage of the title, not the woman's name.
