Well that's just like, your opinion, man.

In a vacuum, with perfectly spherical frictionless humans, sure.

In the world we live in, a technology which replaces landmines, and kills fewer noncombatants, is an improvement which results in less civilian death. That's moral in my playbook.
What's odd about this conversation is that it's fairly undisputed that Far East Asian natives discovered America and settled it.
There is a well-known recipe against trolls: do not feed them. Block and ignore them. If you visit a bathroom, you normally don't bloviate about the kind of crap you had just to flush, you rather avoid the topic; the same applies to trolls. Bring zero attention to them.

Trolls' game is all about drawing attention, in the form of ire, offense, and and panic. Deprive them this, and they'll cease to bother you much.

This is, of course, easier to do if you are a statue of buddha made of reinforced concrete, but even us living beings can learn and engage in some best practices of communication online.
Not synonymous but inclusive, yes. Something like a backup app that provides the cloud stuff, 1Password sync, game servers, etc.

Continual improvement also counts as ongoing - but for many small utilities there’s only so much you can improve.

A good thing I’ve seen is a subscription where you can buy a “lifetime” for what is probably 2x expected subscription value or something.
The image description calls it "gold shading", I don't think there's anything to indicate it's an actual picture of kelp.
I see. Still there shouldn't be such option and if it exists then how do you know the client won't be sending messages as if you were reporting them?
Tasmanian Tigers Are Extinct.

But are they? Can you prove "There are no Tasmanian Tigers alive"?

It's very hard to prove a negative. Just like the old saying "There are no such things as black swans." was rendered completely false by the discovery of a few black swans in Western Australia two hundred years or so ago. Today we know that thousands of black swans exist quite happily.

Personally speaking, I don't believe there are any more Tasmanian Tigers left. However, there is still a lot of wilderness on the west coast of Tasmania, and it is possible that some still survive there.
Interesting, uncopyrightable art. As a product of slavishly following directions it by definition isn't creative. The directions are, but the directions can be rewritten and still produce the same product.

Could be true.

but from an above comment:

>Not disputing, but in the interests of full disclosure, the presenter is (per YT About):

>* Professor David Ruzic

>* Abel Bliss Professor of Engineering

>* Department of Nuclear, Plasma, and Radiological Engineering

>* University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

Professors usually don't gain these qualifications because they started out anti-nuclear.

Something must have reversed his opinion somewhere along the line, no doubt he has greater domain expertise than all but a few others sharing similar deep knowledge.
The fundamental problem with the world today is that there are too many people it. Just as with anything when something is less scarce it is less valuable, all else held equal. Obviously hunter gatherers or even agricultural societies had virtually zero NEETs. Human labour was more or less fully utilised until the last century. Now we are able to provide basic human wants and needs using fewer people.
I have been diving in the Monterey, CA region since 1999 and have seen the change first hand. Sunflower sea stars are now extinct in the area; I haven't seen one in years. Some of the smaller sea star species have started to gradually recover but they aren't effective at preying on purple urchins. There is a local group culling urchins but they'll only be able to cover a small area.

Depends on your definition of "discovery". Christopher Columbus's trip to America changed the course of history. Any previous visits by the lost at sea sailors are not important.
We don't need a place to go, we just need to keep getting better at controlling nature and reconfigure it to our needs.
in credit card processing fees? there aren't many barriers to entry? Even Square is in on the game.
Smuggling luxury cars is a big thing in Thailand. There is a 200% tax to import them. There are busts reported in the news now and then. Sometimes it's a shipment of "used" car parts which is really a container of disassembled super cars shipped in to be reassembled and sold. Sometimes it is cars imported by alleged students who were studying overseas and can bring back the cars they were driving for only a 30% import tax.

The police aren't much use for enforcing laws in Thailand, especially against the rich kids.
Public keys can be big + Why keep the key there if it is already available somewhere else. and the draft allows 3 ways to add a key

Not sure if running a program as root in a container is the best approach to "fully sandbox" - depends on what the goal is, obviously.
Have you looked into response times to your neighborhood? Even in a police state, police would not be so omnipresent that they could replace self-defense.

I have a feeling DDG already allows something like this.
I've seen a number of attempts at this. They tend to either be ghost towns or dumpster fires.
There is (was?) a browser extension to do almost that.
That’s why I said floor: if you buy gold now, you might not be able to sell it for as much as you hope but it’s exceedingly unlikely that the value will drop to $0 because industrial users will still use and people will keep buying jewelry. You might have to sit on it for a while but thousands of years of history suggest that demand will persist.

In contrast, Bitcoin’s hashes have no industrial or aesthetic value and they’re not even linked to the concept. If Ethereum becomes more popular, cryptocurrencies could be successful as a concept even if Bitcoin speculators have millions of dollars worth of inputs nobody wants to buy. Since there are almost no situations where someone has no other options for a transaction, it’s really for the network to collapse if the price drops below the mining threshold - the number of people who are going to pay a premium to avoid PayPal/Square, wire transfers, etc. is unlikely to be enough to support an intentionally inefficient architecture.
I understand people panicking about this, but lets cool your horses a bit.

First of all, SpaceX will not sell Firewall circumvention in China. They are an ISP and need to follow the rules if they want to officially sell there.

Second, even if somehow people got terminals and try to use them, SpaceX could block them. And even if they didn't, the government could locate these people, relativity easily.

Third, even if you assume the CCP is so 'diabolical' to attack Tesla, because of SpaceX. The are not a universal power, China has big plans to have their own car companies be exporters of EV and export batteries and be a major player in the battery supply chain. If they went after Tesla will some BS rules, I would suspect it would cause an international issue on the highest level and would lead to tit-for-tat style destruction on all sides potentially.

SpaceX will never be beholden to China, neither will Boring or Neurolink.
I think that's a really good point, and I definitely agree that rkyv, Cap'n Proto, and FlatBuffers all have different goals and design decisions. rkyv was primarily made with the intention of handling bulk structured data for game development; that's just because that's my background. Having schema evolution and validation wasn't important to me, but those are features that are important to a lot of other people. In the interest of getting more people interested in trying it out I've slowly added those features and I think that rkyv has been made better for it. It's the only of the three ZCD libraries that doesn't support schema evolution, and I think that's going to cause people to choose not to use it. So I'll probably figure out how to get schema evolution in there eventually.

As an aside, I updated the benchmarks yesterday and addressed some other responses that mentioned that the three libraries all have different behavior around validation. That's another place where the three libraries all differ in their approaches and it does materially affect the benchmarks. I found out that Cap'n Proto does validate-on-read, which is is a really cool idea that gives it a big edge while accessing complex structured data that rkyv takes a long time to validate. It's got me thinking about how to get the same kind of validation-on-demand functionality!

(Disclosure: I'm the author of rkyv - thanks for Cap'n Proto, it's been a big influence)
Rewind to before the internet, and you never had the right to get your opinions into the 6 o'clock news or the printed newspaper.

There are still plenty of places you can put up your own website.

Free speech doesn't mean that others are obligated to subsidize your speech.
The other path to SuperResolution is to take multiple images, keeping track of camera orientation and rotation to stabilize and then merge the multiple exposures into a single image with much more real image information than the native resolution of the imager. The only physical requirements are that the camera not be absolutely stable, and the subject not be moving.

You can get on the order of sqrt(N) improvement in resolution from N images with an optimized system. I've done it in the past, with a hand held DSLR and Hugin (the panorama stitching program, in this case used to align the stack of almost identical pictures with subpixel accuracy)
I lived in Hong Kong in the late 80s/early 90s. The predecessors of these boats, always mid-grey to blend with a cloudy horizon, and with 4 x Evinrude 250HP outboards on the back were quite a common fixture in most harbours and quite a sight to behold going at full pelt.
> Next time there’s a destructive unpopular war or bank bailout or police shooting or event that threatens corporate profits there’s no public ability to call the corporate press out on their BS.

They would have to get rid of Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Reddit, HackerNews, on down the line for this to be true. There are dozens of places where you can call out the media for their nonsense.

As recent politics have proved, calling someone out for their bullshit is pointless when you have millions of people willing to buy into their bullshit regardless.
That's a battery capable of supplying 1.2 GW peak demand. Or about 1/30th of the energy capacity in Australia if your numbers are correct. Massive buffer.

Those TWH factories are being built right now. Multiple of them. Production ramp up is going to take a few years before they actually produce that much. But you can sort of do the math based on the number of cars they are selling. About half a million last year so that would be roughly a quarter TWH if you assume 50KWH batteries. Ballpark enough to keep Australia running for about a year if your numbers are correct.

That's last year. It's easy to see how they would grow production to a few million units in the next few years. So, at that point they are using TWH of production capacity that they are building right now in Texas, Berlin, Shanghai, and soon possibly India.

Of course the broader industry is growing quite rapidly to probably a few million unit sales this year and tens of millions by the end of the decade. So, definitely already into TWH/year territory right now. Taking care of Australian energy storage needs is not going to be an issue. About a million EVs would do the trick easily. Sadly, they are a bit behind on jumping on that band wagon but they'll catch up soon enough.
What if their stupid choices kill other people too?
I agree with this, but doubt that a refundable deposit vs. a nonrefundable entrance fee changes this calculus significantly.
> First step: figure out if you are a covered entity or a business associate, or neither. If not, the law doesn't apply to you.

If you are a "covered entity" try and work out if you can stop being one. If you can avoid collecting HIPAA relevant data and still make your business model work, that's likely to be a significantly easier path to take than ensuring ongoing compliance. (Same as PCI compliance - outsource all that brain damage to Stripe or Square or whoever, and be able to look a judge in the eye and say "We never even see credit card data.")
That decision is completely unsupported by the quoted EULA text.
Through the use of energy and accumulated knowledge humans have transformed the earth into something much more habitable than it was just 100 year ago.
It is sad indeed that so few new languages have a stable ABI like Fortran and C.

The GDPR already forbids consent prompts that are unclear, misleading or designed to annoy the user into submission. A compliant prompt should make it as easy to agree as it is to refuse.

The problem is that the ICO is absolutely incompetent at enforcing it (I found it very funny that the article claims businesses are afraid to use data while in reality not only do they appear to use it just fine and even a bit too much for my liking, but our regulator has only ever handed out 4 fines, all for data breaches and not other abusive usage of data).
Sure, but that is the users choice when they chose to use a particular list. I think it is better to give someone the option to choose which people or classes of people to block than decide for them. If someone thinks the risk of blocking someone they are interested in is outweighed by the cost of being exposed to people who's opinions they find damaging, that is their choice.

Personally I wouldn't really block anyone, but I think it is better to have the option that to not.
Yes, that's right. We're different. It's everyone else that's the problem. /s

I can buy a battery powered vehicle today. Seriously it's 5pm on a Sunday. However the dealer is open till 7pm and they have a couple of dozen Chevy Bolts on the lot.
When you instantiate a function(){}, you can get private class properties. Cant get that on es6 classes without babeljs. Cant instantiate es6 arrow functions too.

On reactjs, the flow is much more smoother with hooks instead of class instances because there is no more need to bind functions to your class instances in your class constructor;

there is no need to refer to `this` (on hooks you work with vars directly), and on hooks you are forced to treat things immutably (when you are calling set_value(new_value) instead of mutating the class state directly;

and the useEffect hooks give you a better control and grip on the react component lifecycle.

I honestly avoid usage of es6 classes unless I have to extend another class (e.g. extending Error for custom errors, or extending nodejs EventEmitter).
>nuclear power makes the climate crisis worse

Could be if it delays or prevents addressing the real roots of the problem such as overpopulation and extreme lack of energy conservation.

Fukushima is nature's way of reminding us to conserve or live to regret it eventually.

No one has yet been able to even locate the still-molten fuel, I know its only been 10 short years and it's not supposed to be easy or even possible with today's limited nuclear technology. Good thing it has such a long half-life so there's plenty of time remaining to figure this out over the next 24,000 years. As all engineers know, when deadlines are too short it can lead to unaddressed consequences.

Regardless since the nuclear option exists there will always be a significant faction of enthusiasts who will die eventually without regretting it at all.

Most regrets will occur in a future these enthusiasts (or anybody else) can not accurately visualize, but it doesn't matter to them anyway.
> Ancient junk like gzip/deflate only has a 32kb window

Yes, a reflection of the time that they were first created, but hardly junk. gzip/DEFLATE have saved millions if not billions of hours of human time over the past few decades. Better things exist now, but it's unnecessarily derogatory to call something that significant "junk." And by being industry standards, they have made compression available in many more places than it used to be, even if they are not state of the art. Better to have some reasonable compression than none.

well .well-known should be well guarded anyway, since it is used for things like issuing SSL certs by Let's Encrypt (and possibly more CAs). Giving anyone access to your root of webserver is giving anyone access to your website.
I’m amazed you’re not getting more comments of agreement. There was a period of two years where every single 538 article had a “I’ll make you $500” comment and 538 couldn’t/wouldn’t take them down.

Newspapers struggle to exist as is without devoting more resources to an obsolete forum system. Better to retreat to a BBS system for overall discussion of the newspaper and let HN/Reddit/4chan provide platforms of discussion for your articles.
There's a saying among physicists that you can write Fortran in any language.
I think this is exactly the model we should have.

It’s funny how we are aware of the damage, and yet everyone still wants to live like a millionaire

It’s not possible.
I'd be curious to compare early rationales arguing news sites should run comments sections wth the reality that's transpired.

If you don't understand the language it's easy to see how you miss it, but stuff like this is pure hate. It's based on lies. It's pushing a narrative ("my kid isn't really trans, it's just a fad pushed on him by the trans agenda") when the reality is that kid is too scared to come out to their parents; trans healthcare is a fucking joke; and society hates trans people and spends considerable time and money making their lives harder.

> adults on the internet were grooming vulnerable kids

This combines a decades old trope (LGBT+ people are predatory child abusers) with a more modern attempt to deny access to trans healthcare (trans kids are mentally ill and lack capacity to make decisions). The article develops that mentally ill point here:

> A lot of the young men calling themselves transgender have autism, ADHD, OCD or Asperger syndrome. Parents have sometimes known about these conditions for many years. But gender clinics aren’t interested in pursuing therapies which might actually help these kids understand why they feel the way they do. It’s the only field of medicine where you’re not allowed to talk about comorbidities or other treatments. This is the medical scandal of the century.

...and it combines it with a lie about treatment. Care for transgender children very much spends time with psychological assessment to question whether the child actually is trans.

She goes on to lie about affirmation:

> there’s nothing but affirmation

Here she's making the claim that affirmation is a pathway to puberty blockers, then cross sex hormones and surgery. That's untrue. An important part of healthcare is to explore fully the child's ideas around gender, and the way you do that is with affirmation -- they then trust the healthcare team and open up about what they think and why they think it.

> I have spent all of the lockdown researching transgenderism

Here's a handy hint: anyone using the term transgenderism is an anti-trans bigot.

All the anti-trans people posting links to HN can never post something from WHO or CDC or WPATH or American Academy of Pediatrics -- it's always some blog post that's unsourced to anything credible and full of disinfo.
> I'm not sure where you can take the Super Robot genre after TTGL, GaoGaiGar and Getter Robo: Armageddon.

What about the real robot genre? Gundam shows are great because they seem to be grounded in reality despite all the futuristic technology. It's so fun just observing the immense attention to detail the creators put into their work.
This would all be fine until you start passing and returning these arrays and indexes between independently implemented functions and modules. Then you'd have to start declaring an index type tied to a specific array or a way to look up the index base for a passed in array.
It's newsworthy because it's rare, not common.
There's no reason these are mutually exclusive. We can be happy that we have our own little forum for discussion while still feeling others should have the right to discuss content where it is. Alternative isn't better than mainstream, it's just different.
Removing comments is "censorship" which is liable to get your site boycotted or troll bombed. Removing the commenting system is just good sense.
