In most applications reading and writing JSON are completely separate operations and roundtripping comments makes no sense.

Actual JSON-reading applications must ignore comments because they aren't allowed to care about them. On the other hand anything useful can be placed in a proper field, a comment would be a hack to pass information to human readers but not to JSON consumers (saving some time and memory).
Such a technique could only be considered if people are supposed to read the JSON files and some information is useful for them but not for the reading application: a niche within a niche.

Preserving comments would actually be a complicated special purpose feature, reserved for something like structured text editors that can perform nonstandard parsing with comments included in their special object model (of the large Javascript subset/superset/variant they choose to support and roundtrip, not of JSON).

Yes, exporters can choose to raise their prices in the local currency. However, this comes with some administrative overhead and is visible to the buyer, hence prices tend to be sticky. Alternatively, they can price in dollars in which case they take on currency risk in the other direction but get the full benefit of a fall in their local currency.

> Alternatively, why can't exporters just lower their prices without weakening the entire currency?

Because then they wouldn't be able to make a profit after paying their local employees and suppliers.

Ok, you are probably right! I just seemed to recall hearing that if you write a code from scratch, that then “happens” to compile exactly into the same binary, then it is a bit of a “gray area” as to if the original owner has copyright or not.

To "walk around" means to roam or wander. Most people understand this use of the phrase.

Except they clearly didn't mean that the guy roamed Australia, because that's not particularly noteworthy. He "packed his backpack and walked around the entire continent of Australia by the coastline". The grandparent is pedantically correct that well actually you cannot walk around island.

Web Application Security Checklist: Complete Guide to Securing Web Applications
This seems to be the crux of the issue to me.

Merely linking to another site is clearly not something that should incur any responsibility or financial liability. Breaking this breaks the Web.

If most of the value in news reporting is truly in the headline/lede/photo, then there is an argument that linking to a news site but also scraping that content from them to display a much more detailed preview with the link is something that should be compensated. However, there are a couple of problems with this argument.

The first problem is that lots of news publishers voluntarily choose to serve their content with open graph metadata that was designed by Facebook for this exact purpose. If that isn't an acknowledgement that those news publishers are inviting sites linking to them to show those more detailed previews, what is?

The second problem is that the usual justification given for protecting established news media organisations through government intervention in the market is that they provide deep reporting and original investigative journalism that are valuable to society. If this is true, and if a headline attached to a link really is announcing an important news story backed by substantial research and deep analysis, then surely someone reading that preview is more likely to click through the original source and read further? On the other hand, if the problem is that people aren't clicking through clickbait headlines to tabloid fluff pieces as much as the tabloids would like and it's hurting their business model, is that really the type of journalism we should be intervening to protect?

I suspect both Facebook and the Australian and other watching governments will have learned a valuable lesson from this incident. Facebook has been reminded that there is a price to pay for arrogance and that governments around the world are still in charge if they want to be. At the same time, governments have been reminded that if a business is providing a useful service, you can't just impose unreasonable restrictions on it that create a hostile environment and expect no consequences to follow, and that includes transparent cash grabs that are suspiciously well aligned with the interests of your political sponsors.
We see similar things happening with digestive diseases between the West and Asia. Diverticulitis is pretty rare in Asia (and Africa for that matter) and fairly common in the West. But what’s interesting is that it is just as common for Asians that move to the West after about 12 years or so which rules out genetics. Additionally we are seeing it occur in younger and younger people. This was once a disease for ages 60+ and now it’s not uncommon to find it in people in their 40’s and 30’s and occasionally their 20’s now!

It’s assumed the types of foods more common in a Western diet are the cause of this but there isn’t concrete proof. It’s a strong hypothesis though.

It’s thought the main cause is foliage ingestion, or lack of. People in Asia and Africa eat a lot more plants which are high in fiber.

So I don’t think it’s just obesity and being overweight that are the issue but how we get obese and overweight and I believe that all this, from infertility to early onset of digestive diseases are related in large part to our diets.
Shorter attention spans, more lethargy, lower overall intelligence. You could point at a number of cultural and political developments over the last decades and argue that these neurochemical changes could be a contributing factor. However, it must be pretty much impossible to know for sure. The supposed effects are too intangible and the compounds are too pervasive. We can only speculate.
I say that based on the two data points I quoted with sources. Presumably 'more than half' is less than 95 percent in most cases.

On principle, yes. There are quirks - the COP is different for lower temperatures, and becomes 1:1 at around 5F (-15C). So preheating the air could improve the effectiveness at low temperatures, and I am guessing it might look like this:

- before: 1kWh in, 1kWh out
- after: 1.9kWh in, > 1.9kWh out

However, if it was that simple, I suppose heat pump manufactures would include a pre-heating as built-in feature.

It's very likely that he reduced the energy consumption of heat pump by 50%, but at the same time he uses more than those 50% for mining and has a negative total result that is being offset by the profit from mining itself. Which probably nice for him, but not really for environment :)
> What is news?

That's a good question. A slightly different question that might help you to understand what is happening in Australia with this legislation is "What was news?"

Facebook and Google between them receive more than 80% of all digital advertising dollars spent in Australia. [1]

This advertising revenue used to be known as "rivers of gold" when it flowed 80% to newspapers and television, in the decades before the internet existed. In those days, the advertising business was coupled to journalism, because journalism is how media businesses got their product into peoples homes and living rooms every day.

20 odd years ago, the Australian newspaper business began to be hollowed out by new competitors on the internet, such as Seek.com.au for job ads, Domain.com.au for property ads, carsales.com.au for automobile ads, eBay.com.au for the rest of the classified ads, and google and yahoo for display ads. The dozens of pages that used to make up classified ads in newspapers disappeared. As the rivers of gold dried up, the number of journalists employed in Australia declined dramatically.

Whilst you are correct that Facebook and Google don't actually publish news, they do receive the rivers of gold in advertising revenue that once funded journalists wages. This new legislation pretends to redress the imbalance that lead to the decline in journalism by diverting advertising revenue back to the old man who owns most of the newspapers in Australia. [2]

The old man's business doesn't employ half the number of journalists as it did twenty years ago, and the new legislation doesn't require him to hire any more.

My mining rig will stay profitable until the ETH price is at ~900$

I don't think this is at all true. Even if the price of the crypto remained stable, the mining difficulty will keep on increasing as more miners join. So after a time, his mining rigs will consume more money in electricity than they generate in coins.
In my opinion it's Peter Naur who has found the key issues that keep AGI out of reach for us. Check out his Turing Award lecture. Too bad that it is the von-Neumann-architecture itself that is keeping us from reaching our goal, because it is still a crude emulator for information processing as it is really done. Like in nature.
> Since when has suggesting caution implied being an "anti-vaxxer"?

I called your rhetoric as being the exact same thing antivaxxers also constantly peddle in support of a case they simply cannot make with any real evidence. The "irrational fear" argument. "I have nothing to show it's bad but it could be so that makes it bad".

> Vaccines are not a substitute for healthy living environments.

A non-sequitur, and they're also not intended to be. Healthy living environments are not a substitute for vaccines. Medicine is not a substitute for prevention yet you still go to doctors and take drugs. You don't take a vaccine because it now allows you to live in a garbage dump sucking on a doorknob a COVID patent just sneezed on. You take the vaccine because there is no perfectly healthy living environment, as over a hundred million confirmed COVID infections stand to attest, and the vaccine will help you stay healthy enough. This means you either don't develop the illness at all, or you do but it's a very light form that doesn't need to take away precious hospital resources, or at the very least you don't die from it.

> the next time a new virus emerges

So you are avoiding a solid measure now because it's not guaranteed to work perfectly forever and ever. Coincidentally this is another pillar of the antivaxxer rhetoric. Does the seat belt not save lives because if you're hit by a train you die anyway?

You had several attempts to make an argument and you just jumped from fallacy to fallacy trying to distract from the fact that your rhetoric crumbles just by looking at it the wrong way. Based on your comments you're clearly not qualified to debate this topic. It's your choice whether you get the vaccine or not. But whether it's good for the population is certainly not up for debate, it's already proven and has been for generations.

> but what I was aiming at was that we will replace one mass consumption with the other, just like we always do and that may mask the problem but I believe it won't solve it

You're comparing two cases of "mass production" without any quantifier.

Beef has an over 15 times larger carbon footprint compared to tofu.

https://ourworldindata.org/environmental-impacts-of-food

So sure, if everyone switches we would substitute one mass production for another, but we could feed 15 times as many people (all else equal).
It doesn't mean anything unless you specify the maximum allowed distance to the coast (or the average distance to the coast along your ride, or the median distance to the coast). Notice that you probably want to define the distance of each point of the coast to some point in your traject, and not the other way round (which would make your endeavor trivial).

Really, it seems a very complicated concept to define precisely, and it would entail a lot of seemingly arbitrary parameters.

Nintendo have offered handheld-on-TV options before with the Super Game Boy for SNES and Game Boy Player for Gamecube, so them considering a TV output for a DS wouldn't be entirely out of the question, although the dual screen / touchscreen nature of the DS would make it rather awkward.

Some islands, you can definitely walk around, even in the mathematical sense. Examples are https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_island and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrounded_Islands (if you timed your visit at just the right time).

One could also argue that wading through the sea in knee-deep water would be walking around the island in the strict mathematical sense. That’s doable for some islands.

And of course, the true nitpicking topologist realizes that, topologically, walking in a circle with radius 1m anywhere outside Australia is the same as walking in a circle with radius of almost 20,000 km that encompasses Australia, and thus is ‘walking around Australia’. I just did that. Took me a few seconds, at most ;-)
Mentioned before: https://hn.algolia.com/?q=dillermand
One of the uses is mapping values to objects instead of strings, so you don’t have to use ids:

ob = {...}
somemap[ob] = value
// vs
somemap[ob.id] = value

In languages which allow weak keys in such maps, a garbage collector may even reclaim whole key-value pairs once ob falls out of existence. But to my opinion, in json it is barely useful for a number of reasons. It is more programming technique than data transfer format, and these features (and reference loops) should be encoded at a higher level than json.
No. Every time someone makes a big stink about someone getting fired at one of the top tech companies, it is promptly followed by an article like this. A trillion dollar company that hires thousands of researchers and consistently produces some of the highest quality research with real results is not going to implode from one person being gone. Another pattern I've seen is someone leaving a company, followed by writing an article about how the company is doomed. Of course, the doom never arrives and the companies do even better. All of us are replaceable, from Bill Gates to Jeff Bezos to this researcher. This doesn't mean I agree with the firing, just saying that there is no implosion incoming.
I think that's a terrible argument.

Auto makers shouldn't have to pay a tribute to horse stables for putting them out of business. Refrigerator makers shouldn't have to pay a tribute to ice diggers. Uber shouldn't be required to pay a tax to licensed Taxis. E-learning sites shouldn't have to pay a tax to school tutors.

No business is entitled to a comfortable monopoly. The idea that Google should pay a tribute to traditional media where the amount is entirely at the discretion of media giants because the internet can do everything the old press did better just serves to maintain entrenched old interests.
What programming languages and platforms will your SDK be compatible with, will you also be around to port the SDK to new platforms in twenty or thirty years? Those are good reasons to agree on a standardized data format instead of a specific implementation. Pretty much every language on the planet has JSON parser libraries, and if not, it's fairly trivial to write your own (or convert the JSON data to something else).
You can create more diabetics by being a hip trendy company who employees lots of poc and women.
But why do you need to define it? What are you trying to achieve? Any reasonable person already understand what it means to walk around an island.
