I grew up in St. Louis, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Callaway_Nuclear_Generating_St... was relatively close. No one cared. There were several coal plants a lot closer that were a lot dirtier. (https://www.google.com/maps/search/Alton+Power+Plant/@38.913... https://www.google.com/maps/place/Labadie+Power+Plant+Rd,+Bo...)

Notice how they're right on the river right upstream from St. Louis.

But we also had much worse things:

Most of the loop holes have been closed in Ireland over the past few years. I'd look at the Netherlands, Malta or Luxembourg these days if you're looking for shady booking accounting practices.

It helps that the Collisons' are from Ireland, but there's also a highly educated workforce, native English speakers, a pro-business government, world class backbone internet connectivity, favourable timezone, plenty of renewables on the electricity grid.
If we consider the consequences of sloppy and/or outright malicious data handling to be negative externalities foisted on society; then removing such externalities by law is pretty much fair game in my opinion.

Especially taking into account that there might not be a linear relationship between the damage accrued by society versus the costs of the company to ameliorate such damage.
>the victim's bikini is digitally removed and overlaid with skin-toned bars creating what Weintraub described as Barbie doll-like effect

I remember seeing something similar years ago on 4chan. People used to overlay bikini pictures with a sort of bubbly pattern, with the blurry space inbetween the bubbles seemingly incidentally only just covering any items of clothing. The technique produced some quite convincing fake nude pictures.
I remember the Modula-2 I used in 1988-1991 was a royal pain in the butt to do any I/O. It was a pain compared to Turbo Pascal and, as Koshkin stated, already had modules with a significant ecosystem.
This seems to originate from a list of "cool Japanese looking fonts" [1] and was reposted and hyped up with more eye catching titles until it eventually ended up as the current claim.

There appears to be no basis to this, but my first language is not Japanese, so happy to be corrected.

Was noticing the same thing. Asked the librarians I know and it seems like a well known issue in that circle. Being that they are 1) professionals at gathering information and 2) talk to a LOT of people who gather information that they maybe know something about this.

Ask your local librarian, I’d be curious if you get similar feedback.
I'd be very interested in hearing you elaborate on this please.
Trying to not be a pure Google hater here but I can expect a lot of their products will become shittier (in terms of U X) in the next few years. It’s what happens to every web property after they have their insane period of growth. Now in order to continue growing without naturally adding users, they will have to get more $$$ per user. In order to do that, they will need better/more ads. In order to do that the UI/search experience will need to prioritize ads rather than an end user experience. It is not even limited to web properties. Every company lures users in with something really great at the beginning in order to capture the market, and then once the market is captured gradually raise prices to monetize users. Think uber with ridiculously cheap prices at the beginning to get users onto their platforms. In Google’s case ad-free great UIs are the “currency”. Now we’re going to have to sift through more and more garbage to get what we need, and it’s probably going to get worse.
yes, I have to use bing and duckduckgo a lot more than I used to if I actually want a peer reviewed source on something

for everything else, such as a faster search for wikipedia, or cliffnotes about an actor that don't go to any website, it works fine.

the majority of my searches further from that are just finding messages in fast moving chats on Telegram, so that doesn't use Google or any service that is a dedicated search engine.
Contract law can require you to hop on one foot.

But what rights would you need to go to court for? The point of an NFT is that the provided rights are exercisable without further permission.

Also, if the author wanted to control the NFT they'd just code it that way, for instance to prevent sales, or prevent more than one sale per decade, etc.
Yes. They are the biggest chunk of this round, making it the round-leader, not a majority shareholder.
You mean you can't just fix the problem by writing better product requirements - "Google search results shall give me more relevant results."
This is really the key point:

> Only about 2 percent of Inquirer.com visitors read comments, and an even smaller percentage post them.

So it’s a tiny fraction writing the comments, which is disproportionately represented by racist trolls. Removing the comments manually is a lot of work, an automated system is problematic, but The Inquirer very understandably doesn’t want to leave up hundreds of hateful comments.

Besides, have you read the comments on local news websites? Even the very best are almost always useless. It is not like Hacker News or Reddit or another news aggregator, where the value is in the discussion. I don’t think any meaningful discourse is being lost.
This unfortunately seems to also be the case with GDPR in Europe. People use it as a scary sounding excuse for various nonsense, even when it clearly doesn’t apply. I recently heard a university claim that GDPR prevented them from recording lectures amongst other things. I’ve also heard numerous individuals complain that GDPR prevented them from doing one thing or another, when GDPR doesn’t apply to things individuals do in most cases. Well-publicised laws generally get this treatment, where people invoke their name as some sort of magic incantation to justify their action (or more often inaction), and know little to nothing about the law itself.
As I said, that is why you look at homicides, not "gun deaths" or "stabbings" - so you don't have to wager or guess.

Why can't each array have its own indexing?

You could declare the array as array[0..100] of something resp. array[1..100] of something for 0/1 based, and just as well do array[2..100] of something, or array[-1..100] of something, for -1/2 based.

Or with letters array['a'..'z'] of something,

Or with enums. TEnum = (red, blue, green), and then an array array[red..green] of something

Actually, that is just Pascal

You either intentionally lying or you simply don't know what are you talking about. Not only the law in question only has administrative fines, no jail time, but also it has not been even accepted yet. Also it may not even apply to simple citizens, see: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26460626

I set up on my Starlink near Sacramento last week and it is fantastic. So much better than other rural Internet options. The one drawback to it now is it's a little unreliable, largely because there aren't enough satellites up in orbit yet. I'm papering over it with the Speedify VPN for now (using a second slower link). Every launch brings Starlink closer to 100% uptime.
Its been getting worse and it think its inevitable. Over time algorithms can be figured out basically through reverse engineering. These days seo optimization has meant resources is just as important as relevancy

the extent to which google wants to stop this is another matter
Stripe blocks some people who then have to use PayPal, also PP has been around for 20 years and expanded beyond payments, like what Stripe will be doing going forward.
Definitely. Possible reasons include:
* A lot more information, including low quality sources, making it harder to prioritize
* The SEO cat and mouse game
* Google's commercial interests

Thanks for your question. The ones you have listed are for entertainment and are web-based, in an overhead view in 2D format.

Venu is a business trade fair event platform, accessed via a virtual reality client, created for use in devices like the wireless Oculus Quest VR headset or the PC wired VR headsets like HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, Valve Index, or Windows Mixed Reality. In addition, we have made this available as a Windows or Mac client.

Venu also allows me, as an end-user, to go into the trade show platform, in first-person view. So, I do not see my own avatar, but I meet other avatars in face-face conversations. I can walk up to another avatar (with name tag/email above the head), see that this is someone I would like to conduct business with and start a conversation. I can also move my mouse over the other avatar's head, to the email address, where a cursor will appear for me to send an email to this person in real time.

Our competitors in the 2D grid of faces space, in conferences and events are: Zoom, Hopin, and SpotMe.

Our pseudo competitors in the 3D space are a bit fuzzy. From what I can tell, vFairs has animation and people navigate to the booth image, click on it, and connect to the exhibitor via a webcam. But, they have not created their conference / exhibit in virtual reality. And, there are a few out there like vFairs.

Thanks again for your question.
The main value for Stripe is not in the payments processing itself (I would estimate they take about 0.2% from TPV as fees). The main value is the add on services, and in particular short term loans to SMBs secured by incoming payments. Overall, Stripe is a strong and successful business with room to grow. Is >100x P/E justified? Probably not from pure financial perspective. However if you take into account “hype” then the price is about right.
Well, I have programmed under MISRA C at a company for a couple of weeks before I left. Have seen with my own eyes that a colleague of mine added suppression comments for MISRA warnings about unchecked return values of some timer functions, saying that instead of fixing the real problem doing this is good as it's a lot easier to convince some outsider entrusted to check and question code changes that it definitely will not make any harm as it's just about adding comments. I have asked three times whether is this really a good idea, and he insisted on that yes it is, as it fixes the problem. A couple of days later I quit. I don't think having unchecked timer initialization is a good idea anywhere near a car...
Citations would be helpful for such a claim. I work with HIPAA daily, and while I agree that it has a lot of problems, the one you identify here would be an issue of misguided hospital policy. The hospitals would be absolutely within their rights to allow care teams to follow up with patients as they transition.

Now I could easily imagine HIPAA being used as a scapegoat for a set of restrictive policies that are actually being driven by other incentives.
Nothing prevents you from writing this file by hand. But for people who use shared hosting having a security.txt file is likely not as important as companies that run their own infrastructure. And adding yet another file to be deployed into the web root or to be served by your application is likely a touch more work than enabling the module and adding a line or three to the web server config. None of it is a lot of work, but in a sense using the web server’s config file is a lot less friction.
>The Altamont Pass Wind Resource Area (APWRA) began
operations during the 1980s and by 1998 included about
5,400 wind turbines of various models, each
rated to generate between 40 kW and 400 kW of electric power, or 580 MW total

>Using mortality estimates adjusted for searcher detection and scavenger removal rates, we estimated the annual wind turbine–caused bird fatalities to number [...] 2,710 (80% CI =-6,100 to 11,520) birds.

That's 1/2 a bird per turbine per year. Or one bird per 110 nameplate KW per year.

That means that they're a bit safer than the average building, assuming that the number of buildings in the US doesn't exceed the number of people by a large amount.

>We estimate that between 365 and 988 million birds (median = 599 million) are killed annually by building collisions in the U.S., with roughly 56% of mortality at low-rises, 44% at residences, and <1% at high-rises.

I only speak _very_ rudimentary Japanese, but there was something unpleasant about looking at that. It was as if I was trying to read two things at the same time, and which was dominant kept switching. If I zoom out or move away from my monitor, it's easier to just read it as English, but at the default zoom it feels wrong somehow ("can't" is especially hard to read).
No, it's not enforceable by the algorithm it's enforceable by the "we lock you up because you just sent $10m to Pablo Escobar" guys.

In addition to being expensive to hire moderators, they would also be likely to get one or more consumer groups that support boycotting the inquirer due to censorship (perceived or actual, I will let you decide).

It’s not worth the headache, imho.

Comments in periodicals have attracted a lot of people who seem to enjoy being part of the rage cycle. It has sadly ceased to be constructive “community” dialogue in most cases, if indeed it ever was.

> I think your missing the point. If you ran your entire grid on just solar and wind, no nuclear, or coal or natural gas peaker plants, you'll find that wind and solar is no longer cheap, and is much less resilient to exceptional circumstances.

That kind of is my point: countries are doing this and without blackouts and it's actually fine. You seem to be claiming nuclear is needed to provide an unspecified base load at an unspecified cost. Other people are pointing out that it is about 3x more expensive and just not generally worth investing in at that cost difference.

Your points about mining are a bit beside the point. I don't actually disagree that the mining sector needs to be cleaned up. But our economy generates demand for lots of things we dig up out of the ground. If anything, it seems that the likes of Tesla are vaguely being responsible here and are actually making efforts to clean up that part of their business by working to source what they need in a sustainable way.

You seem to imply that a scale change is needed on the mining front to bootstrap renewables. I doubt that that's as big of a deal that you seem to imply. Also, you could make the point that with clean energy, resources locked up in that become available for recycling at the end of their life. So, things like lithium, cobalt, copper, nickel, etc. actually can be reused. And there are also some efforts to replace some of these minerals with more readily available alternatives. E.g. cobalt free batteries are a thing. Finally, we can offset that by no longer digging up coal, drilling oil, or fracking gas. The difference is that absolutely zero percent of that gets recycled because we burn it.

And lets not forget that uranium mining is probably one of the dirtiest forms of mining. That's just a really nasty business mostly happening under exactly the kind of circumstances you point out. Nothing clean about it. Lots of pollution, radioactive waste, and health issues. And you need to mine a lot of rock to extract very little uranium.
Yes! Make this a Django app and I will use it by default. Make me add it as a text file and I’ll forget to add it.
> By contending nothing (YOU) imply anything.

I did not say that I contend nothing but that I did not contend that X could be „anything on the face of the universe“. But even if I did contend nothing I certainly wouldn’t imply anything. How does contending nothing imply something? What kind of reasoning is this?

> The nuance is just missed by you. I did address this. Multiple times. My initial post did mention that science and logic arose out of philosophy (and by implication is a part of it). The failure in this case is technically not on me, it's on your usage of the argument.

You are criticizing philosophy (as a whole) as „essentially just a mish mash of deep thoughts and ponderings of unrelated topics“, „archaic“ and „just an old way of thinking“. Now you insist that you meant science and logic to be by implication a part of philosophy. So are you saying that they are archaic as well? You can’t have it both ways. If you don’t include science and logic in your criticism you should clarify which parts of philosophy you reject. That would be the nuance I am missing.

> If you claim X is not anything that can possibly exist. Then type class X for me.

I attempted to type class X in my last comment: X is what – by popular convention – is worth asking the question what we mean when we talk about it. So I have to concede: That could indeed be anything. But in fact it isn’t. So I’m still failing to grasp the relevance of your argument. One day you could probably ask yourself what you mean when talking about a rock and call that philosophy because it would be considered worthwhile. So what?

> This is the essence of the argument. My claim is basically X is typed really poorly and arbitrarily with little formalism let alone sense.

Do you have the same demands on your own area of expertise? Would you mind formalizing it non-arbitrarily? I guess that would help me understand your expectations.

EDIT: Removed a remark that was due to a misunderstanding.
I find it comforting to hear I appear to be at the right corner, as opposed to be in wrong corner. Thanks.
I would love the ability to add "domain:programming" to my searches like that - just let me tell google what area I'm interested in, it would so make life simpler.
I don't agree. Socialization is socialization. Being online makes it easier to connect with people, but this isn't a new issue. In real life such things also happen, even if it manifests differently. Some people fall into groups of friends that are more interested in getting high, drunk, or getting into fights. Don't remember your parents speaking about "bad influences"?
If users are paying, you run into lawsuit territory when you try to censor them for their views. Not necessarily because you can't stop doing business with the person who you decide is an enemy of the people, but because you are still taking all the money of their followers and others who signed up to read their tweets. So accepting money would require a moderation policy that didn't change every other week but was clear and upfront in terms of what business services were being sold.

It sure feels like it. It feels like no matter what I search for, most of the top 10 results are like some crappy lifewire page with no useful information and written 7 years ago but “updated” only last week....

And everything else got “recipiefied”, where u get a life story before your answer. Both of these things are sites gaming their rankings. Sometimes i just want pure info, and google wont ever show pure info/data sites in their results unless its their own parsing of it..

That said, google still beats ddg. Ddg just doenst pull in the answers from fourms and stackoverflow like sites as well as google.
The Pascal compiler on UNIX (v7, 4.1BSD) was idiomatic. I think probably no more than any other language, but enough to make me (graduate from York, a pascal teaching university) put off by micro-differences from what I learned.

The uplift to C was simpler in some ways. Why use a confusing port which winds up having to call C system libraries, when you can code directly in the language the system libraries is coded in?

Fortran, oddly, this wasn't such a big deal. Maybe the bulk of necessary code in Fortran meant the barrier to entry was lower.
The issue here is the increasingly widespread phenomenon of using fake images to blackmail/defame innocent people, not whether it's a 'deepfake' or photoshop. It's perplexing to me that so many people are seizing on the least interesting aspect of the story.
What purpose would that serve, exactly?
If you want adoption, make it so easy that it’s harder to not include it. If you run an application, it will take lines of config to serve this file anyways. Might as well make it easy. And if you can’t make a bug free module that writes out 5 lines into a static file… probably shouldn’t be defining web standards.
> But I've started to notice that their index seems to be forgetting about the past as time moves on.

A few months ago I was trying to find an old mailing list post using Google. I tried every combination of search terms I could think of, but it didn't show up. Later, I managed to find a direct link to the post in my notes. It turns out Google just wasn't indexing it at all -- searching literal excerpts from the post in quotation marks didn't give any results either. I just tried it again (I believe the post was https://www.mail-archive.com/fonc@vpri.org/msg01802.html), and it still doesn't seem to be indexed, though now there's another archive of the same mailing list which does show up in the results.
Where do you live? I’m pretty sure in Australia your registration is checked automatically whenever you drive past a police car, which are all equipped with cameras.
The police in smuggling destinations are corrupt, so once you have the car into the country you can just pay off the police to ignore it. But getting through the border is harder and would involve much larger bribes.
This works well with reddit. Each community has a different moderation style, often aided by bots. If you don't like a community or its moderation, you can look for another community or create your own, as it frequently happens.

Reddit has its problems, but I think such a federated moderation system is a decent solution for larger websites. However, you need to provide the moderators with the right tools to enforce their rules. Throwaways were a bit of a problem on our humble subreddit, as were link spammers.
