> As an educated voter, I would not want to vote for my nuclear inspector

The chief job of local environmental assessors would likely be gathering and aggregate local data sources to monitor and track a wide variety of emissions, including non-radioactive emissions in areas with no nuclear industry.

> I have zero ability to evaluate their qualifications, or job performance

The feedback signal to watch would be whether newspapers and activists say they are compromised by financial ties to local industries, which can be assisted by financial disclosure forms.

> This is why representative democracies exist

Another option which relied more on Congress would be to have the House & Senate appoint one independent environmental assessor from each state, which were required to be permanent residents of each state, to attend an annual meeting once per year, to form an independent board of oversight. The assessors would have to be permanent residents of the state they were appointed to represent and submit financial disclosure forms.
tl;dr A person who prefers working from a Linux shell doesn't like Windows that much.

As someone who likes GUIs, IDEs, and not Googling obscure config files every day, I have loved developing on Windows since Vagrant/Docker made it easy a few years ago.

Before that, I had been coding exclusively on (and for) Linux for 20 years, sometimes with a Mac beside me for XCode work.
Obviously it's an oversimplification, but the point is that marriage nicely handles (among other things) the allocation of child-rearing externalities.
That's however relatively easy to verify programmatically, and indeed any recent compiler will complain about that.

I'd say the usual trap is rather the size of the target buffer, because that requires bigger static analysis guns. (I'm ignoring things like "%n", because then you're playing with fire already.)
> In order to have a society of power career couples, someone has to raise their kids. [... Y]ou have to find someone [...] to be your nanny [...]. I don't see how that’s a sustainable narrative [...].

Bomb some more countries. Make some more refugees. Problem solved.

In England, when the aspiring middle classes started finding it impossible to afford servants (which was a problem, because that was a key mark of their status), they started taking in kids from workhouses to serve them, and made it out to be some kind of charity. When that ran out they started up guest worker programs. A notable one took poor Jewish women fleeing a certain German government. Win-win, right?
This statement could be made about a lot of things:

> Imagine how good [most policies] would be if the Senate weren't run by septagenarians and octogenarian.
I agree with you that it's a little weird that eBay has decided to draw the line there, but you might give a second thought to what constitutes "relatively mild offensiveness".

These racist caricatures have a long and ugly history, and they persist. They may seem mild to you, but to people who have to deal with racist caricatures every day of their lives, it's unpleasant. Not just having to explain to your children why they've been presented like that in this book targeted to them, but why all of the other children they know will have been exposed to the same images.

I don't think you intended to diminish that in your post, but I think it's worth taking note when you tell other people that they shouldn't be offended by something when you don't experience it.

Take a look at the images, and you can see why the publishers felt that they were better off without them. As for why eBay decided to glom onto that... that I can't say.

The French were just a more responsible than the Soviets and don't have to deal with earthquakes and tsunamis as much as the Japanese. The also invested a lot in several nuclear designs, comitted to nuclear power and are therefore quite experienced.
> Imagine how good our network technology policy would be if the Senate weren't run by septagenarians and octogenarian.

The ages of the senators proposing this are 76 (Joe Manchin), 76 (Angus King), 65 (Rob Portman), and 56 (Michael Bennet). 3 of the 4 are older than the median Senator age.

None of the 4 are in the youngest 25%.

Image how good our opinions of the Senate would be if we based them in facts.
Arizona House advances bill targeting Apple, Google mobile app stores
In the same boat. Another con of waiting is that many people I wish my children could meet (great grandparents, uncles, friends of family) have died. And of course I and my partner will be dead N years sooner than if I had children at age X - N, which means (at best) less time for grandchildren, or who knows.
I find it amazing that people go "Let's use hydro!" When a single event killed more people than all the nuclear accidents combined. Unreal.

If you list the languages you use, I'd be happy to point out the "footguns" in each of them. For all the warts on C, there really is no language that can compete for what it has accomplished over ~50 years.

Recall that during the rise of C, people were writing machine code on punch cards. Assembly -> Machine code has far more footbullets than C, it is a tradeoff between hand holding and tiny fast code.

Wow, this blew up.

To all the people popping off about how great other languages are, tell me: when will we see the Unreal Engine written in Python, or Pascal, or Algol, or Rust, or Go... the next big step is WebASM (or .cu), and that's way more footbullet-y than C. And what is the native language all of your sub-30 year old interpreted languages were written in? Thank you!
Still, unless you're writing something that has to be very low-level all the way through, it's better to use a string-handling library than the stdlib tools for strings.
I really wish they were able to report where it was from. He seems to have had a good relationship with his contact in the government, perhaps he should follow up.
I disagree completely. Devs who use C are the least complacent about security in my experience. The problems are from previous eras before they knew about many of these things. A ton of people in modern languages couldn't name a single dangerous function, though they do exist in every language. You'd be amazed at how many race condition vulns result from TOCTOU errors just in authentication, or checking for the existence of a file before opening it, etc.

It's absolutely true that decades ago the C community was complacent, but it's not true now. Source: I taught secure coding in C/C++ in the 00s.

Thanks! I thought I clicked on the latest.
Flatrate models usually means that a large majority of users actually covers the costs for a the minority high consumers. It is true that the marginal cost for more transmitted data is almost zero, but the overhead costs of running (and expanding) networks are certainly not. Cost has to be covered and you could very well argue that it makes sense that the large consumers pay more.
There is one reason for some caps, which is that you'll always get oversubscription in the cities, and the caps could reflect that to prevent 100% utilisation. They don't have to be so small that people actually think about them. Basically set it at 1TB for residential for the lowest plan and forget about it.
> I was under the impression people had kids to build a family together, not to compete with their partners for achievements. I don't think at all the situation you described is bad in any way. In fact, it would be a huge step forward.

I wasn't indicating that the spouses were in any way competing with each other. I was pointing out the inequity that results among professors who are fathers and their colleagues who are mothers. The seemingly generous and 'equal' policy of giving the same leave to mothers and fathers has the result of disadvantaging professors who are mothers, on balance.

(I should note that not all male professors spend their leave in this way, but enough of them do it is a problem.)

There are lots of reasons to prefer trees (and, correspondingly, lots of reasons to prefer hashtables); I just pointed out ordering isn't the only one, and I merely gave another (worst-case performance guarantee). For example, yet another one is iterator stability; insertion can invalidate iterators for unordered containers, making them useless for some applications that need to analyze data efficiently as they insert.

I could go on, but it's very much detracting from the point of the paper to argue about the data structure choice when the paper isn't on this topic at all or trying to analyze any particular application to begin with.

Nuclear power would be more competitive if the CO2 tax was implemented.

Surprised by the majority of comments here. How many of you have actually looked at these pictures? A private entity decided to stop publishing certain things. Another private entity is declining to sell old copies of said things. This is not “cancel culture” like conservative commentators want to make it out to be - and I think the publisher and now eBay are making the right call - children are impressionable, and presenting racial caricatures like these to them is not good.
This is a common misconception. Equality means that both sexes have options. It means offering (but not forcing) men to take paternity leave, so that the family can bond as a unit. It means offering flexible work options for everyone. I’ve not met many women who want to work the stereotypical 60+ hour weeks with a stay-at-home partner that comes with being ‘successful’. We want to raise families and have careers on our terms. But the modern workplace and economy isn’t set up that way, in the US at least.
That's why you look at EBITDA and ignore the walk from Net Income to Cash Flow.

If you're not looking at statements, all I'm saying is "EBITDA is the cash generated (i.e. the profit) before taxes or interest on loans"
The central thesis is excellent, but this really caught my eye:

> Depression is usually catalogued as a mental illness, but it’s as much a metabolic illness as cardiovascular disease, which itself has significant mood-related symptoms. These two diseases occur together so often that some medical researchers believe that one may cause the other. That perspective is steeped in Cartesian dualism. Both depression and cardiovascular disease are known to involve problems with metabolism, so it’s equally plausible that they share an underlying cause.
This is a good argument as to why we should look closely at traditional medicines of various cultures. We (1) coevolved with this stuff and (2) have gone through generations of trial and error.

I'm a believer in modern scientific medicine, but think we often have it backwards. Before reinventing the wheel we should exhaustively test what we used traditionally. Maybe the reason we don't do much of that is that it's not possible to patent, and so there's no financial incentive to do so?

Yup. I've been flying long enough to know that even though my radio and video link can easily take me several kilometers out, it can fail at any moment and I have to treat it as such.

RTF packages have always existed, but DJI making this widespread will allow every random person to buy one from their local store and have the ability to fly acro, which is pretty horrifying.

Ask HN: Alternatives to Suicide?
I am struggling with my mental health, to the point I really need a radical change, which I’m not fit to properly decide at the moment.

My problem is that I’m not mentally fit to work anymore. I’m depressed, suffer from post-covid brain fog, and I’m really stressed and tired. But at the same time I can’t live with my parents because at their home is where my mental health deteriorates the most. I’m not rich to just leave my work and live on my own.

I’m considering either becoming a monk or committing a minor crime just to get in prison and don’t live there anymore. Any suggestion is welcome because my brain is not working as it should.

They're not just cartoons. They're caricatures associated with racist tropes, which have been used in conjunction with discrimination and even violence. The African pictures in particular look like minstrel shows, which were deliberately intended to demean black people in America.

It's not that the publishers were afraid of getting in trouble. It's that they were ashamed of their own book -- with good reason.

My criminal mind says this could be a way for Apple (and Later Google) to benefit more, from the difference in the price of their phones - Thanks to pricing based on Storage. Once they allow these photo storages to duplicate your data, you will need double the storage and phone starting line-up would be 256GB and upwards very soon. I think innovation to make money has saturated, and now it would be quirks like this to make more money per phone.
I can anti-recommend Brilliant. It might be okay if want to pay for a subscription to solve puzzles but it's not a good environment for learning.

In your case I would start with Khan Academy - they have material from kindergarten level all the way up to undergraduate university level so you can pick things up from where you feel most comfortable. And Sal explains things in a very human way which is nice for people who have struggled with math before.

I think you missed an important link here: opening the API is not the same as making a good standard. The latter tends to take years. The former... Well, Google internal APIs often have minor changes every couple weeks. And the standard of documentation is more or less "go read the code". Opening those would not be useful. I don't know if Facebook is any better. But their motto is "move fast and break things", so I'm skeptical.
Posts like this completely misunderstand how companies like Facebook think and operate. As a result, they cause people to fight boogymen instead of working toward positive change.

Yes, using Facebook instead of doing something like talking in person or reading a book is probably worse for you in the long run.

But most people don't do those things instead of Facebook. Instead they use Tiktok. Or watch TV. Or read Teen Vogue. Or get drunk and watch reality TV. Or sit alone in their nursing home with no real connection to any other human.

Facebook doesn't want you to be addicted, addiction is bad for user retention in the long term. Facebook wants you to be a happy, healthy Facebook Family of Apps™ user. I know this because I oversee ML launches on some of the highly controversial/addictive surfaces on a certain Facebook property.

> We now know that’s exactly what happened two years ago. For one week in January 2012, data scientists skewed what almost 700,000 Facebook users saw when they logged into its service. Some people were shown content with a preponderance of happy and positive words; some were shown content analyzed as sadder than average. And when the week was over, these manipulated users were more likely to post either especially positive or negative words themselves.

> This tinkering was just revealed as part of a new study, published in the prestigious Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Many previous studies have used Facebook data to examine “emotional contagion,” as this one did. This study is different because, while other studies have observed Facebook user data, this one set out to manipulate it.
I mean, sure. We need more research. But shouldn't the null hypothesis be that children born of a novel and extraordinarily unnatural process be less healthy than those born of the usual process?

There's no reason to believe that after all the factors arrayed against IVF children (poor starting egg quality, genetic and cellular damage from ice crystals, mitochondrial damage potential, implantation problems, etc) that the null hypothesis would be "they will be exactly the same".
It's not really complacency: it's that the standard library is intentionally minimalistic to maintain portability and backwards compatibility. If you want sensible string handling, it's usually best to use a high level utility library like GLib(https://developer.gnome.org/glib/stable/) or Apache Portable Runtime(http://apr.apache.org/), or roll your own safe string type (preferably non-null terminating)
I don't understand what is "of course", why $500 is wrong and $1K would be right. Could you expand on your thinking?
Perhaps a solution is that we separate the delivery of social media posts from the company that produces them. (Just like email can be received in a client that is not run by e.g. companies that send spam).

This means that we can teach our Social Media Inbox (abbreviated here SMI) that we don't like certain messages, and the SMI will remove them from the feed.

The trick here is that the SMI has its incentives aligned with the user, not the social media companies. So there is no incentive to make us addicted.
Outside of the fact that sites would be mad is there a problem is browsers just chase cnames and set the origin to the last one?

Yes sites could switch to A records or proxies but that's way more of a PITA on the tracker side.

There's that, but with sprintf/vsprintf specifically, there's no way to keep it from storing characters past the end of your buffer. For example:

The earth doesn't need more high-carbon-footprint kids. The richest 10% are responsible for more than half of global consumption emissions (https://www.oxfam.org/en/press-releases/carbon-emissions-ric...).
