I have a technical question: Is there any feasible way to implement a vehicle miles tax without building a massive surveillance state that basically tracks every single place everyone goes? This hardly seems beyond the wit of man, but I'm not aware of any existing off-the-shelf way to accomplish this, other than just having the government promise to delete all records after X days.
Are you thinking for digital products like a PDF or purely for membership access?

When you create a billing attempt against a subscription, it creates a Shopify order that is tied to that subscription. You could definitely have the order be tied to a digital product.

While you could definitely make it work for a membership system, I think I'd recommend literally anything else. Happy to elaborate or answer any specific questions you might have.
The article lacks a bit of clarity. It talks about computers as though they are assigned to students, but they have computers in the library (and other communal study areas) that are available for anyone, not individually dedicated to students (from experience, I went to Vic and regularly walk through the campass). Did they wipe the %userprofile% directories stored on these computers? That would be diabolical given how few lay people would understand how Windows directories/user profiles are managed en masse (you should know any local data on a shared machine could be deleted and that only certain roaming data would be retained after a fresh wipe.. For instance if there is a separate mapped drive which has your Documents folder mapped to it etc). This all could have been avoided with a simple message on the shared logon screen stating what folders are vulnerable to being deleted or accessed by other users.
I’ve been using wikipedia for years and never knew about this. I wish there was a prominent link on the page “Switch to simplified explanation” or something. As someone who knows barely enough maths to get by this would have helped me immensely over the years.

We are still a good way off replicating the resolution of the human eye in an implant, and generally we have a hard time matching the impressive dynamic range of our eyes. Give it another 20 years.

Until then something that converts infrared and UV to the visible range is a lot more reachable (whether that's an implant like an intraocular lens, simple contact lenses, or just eye drops)
It's not reasonable. That's a psycho that paid for a product, got what they paid for, and now want to extort the developer for extra features instead of paying more.
>The money is spent very efficiently

Doesn't the fact that there are systemic causes at the root of a problem means that trimming the branches is not an efficient manner of resolving the issue?

Note that I am asking this as someone who spends more than 1/2 of my life "trimming the branches."

Obviously, the way that government deals with systemic issues is highly flawed, but that is all tied up in the systemic issues that need to be resolved right?
A couple of points: There isn't a single police force that operates across England. For London there are the Metropolitan Police who cover actual London, and the City of London Police who cover the "square mile", the tiny City of London area.

Compare

https://www.cityoflondon.police.uk/police-forces/city-of-lon...

https://www.met.police.uk/police-forces/metropolitan-police/...

And it's weird that the police are advising people not to use Sci-Hub. In England copyright violation is a civil matter, not a criminal offence, unless you're doing it as part of business or you're doing so much of it you're distorting trade. It's simply not a police matter.
You're still much worse off if you suspect the ROMs on your devices were corrupted.

- Partner support isn't great, however, if you can figure out how to get to a named employee, which is quite easy with their Slack for partners, they are super helpful. Just this week I am migrating to React and Polaris (mostly due to third party cookies being blocked by browsers and having to move to JWTs for auth). I had a niche problem that I dreaded going through support with, so I posted in the relevant Slack channel and a dev got in touch and fixed it for me in minutes.

Bad
- 20% commission is starting to look expensive now Google and Apple have dropped their fees
- They only pay out in dollars to PayPal which results in a 3% fee for non-US (and Canada?) devs since December
- Python API is not kept up to date
- There have been numerous copycat apps that the original devs have had to kick up a huge fuss to remove

Brasilia is, today, a large metropolis of nearly 3 million people (the 5th most populous metropolitan area in Brazil). One of the stated motivations to build the city near the geographical center of the country was exactly to get more people to move to that region of Brazil, which was, and still is to some degree, severely underpopulated compared to the coast (and has a great terrain for sustaining large populations). Very large protests are commonplace, so if getting away from angry rioters was in the mind of certain politicians at some point :) it definitely did not work (as others said, the project was planned since 1891, started in the 1920's and only finished in 1960).
It's called industrial policy and it's pretty much the only way nations can make the leap from developing to developed. The thing is, industrial policy and mostly-free trade can and do work really well together, but for about a generation the "Washington Consensus" of free trade absolutists didn't allow it. Those countries that did so anyway, like China, were able to thrive, while smaller nations got stuck as resource exporters.

I think you see it most in 'eurojank' games these days but I really love the ambition of older games that include really unusual or deep gameplay mechanics that you'd never see in a typical AAA title.

Games like Gothic, Elex, Kingdom Come: Deliverance, Two Worlds, Eye: Divine Cybermancy, basically most Deck13 titles...

The late 90s and early 2000s were such a great time for PC games like that.
I wouldn't call myself a conservative. Obviously as private companies, Amazon and eBay are able to make rules about what they allow to be sold. I do think it creates a real chilling effect when both Amazon and eBay refuse to sell these books, since they are essentially an oligopoly in book sales.

It's actually the libraries pulling them from the shelves that seems so bizarre to me. I could understand them moving them from the children's section to somewhere else, but to remove them from circulation entirely, and then presumably put a bunch of other books out on the table for banned books week is just strange.

Public libraries have historically been a big institutional force for the rights of free speech and free thought, fighting in court to be able to loan out (and keep secret the names of borrowers) very controversial books. I honestly cannot understand sacrificing those principles and all of that history over Dr. Seuss.
Every non-antique car has an odometer. Some states require yearly car inspections. Odometer readings are normally required when selling a car.
Thanks for clarifying. It seems like this will prevent some issues such as deleting the wrong token howver storing all of your "backups" in the same place as your primary storage (iCloud) is not a good strategy. If anything wiped your keychain it would be propagated to all your devices (unless you leave some on airplane mode) and you are now locked out of your accounts.

OK. But then:

Maybe it's not as simple as just abortions and birth control then?

Look at Sweden btw. We have over 2.0. How? Probably because the state makes it possi le to have children, instead of impossible.

Fwiw, being born in the Showa era (ended Jan 89) would put her at 31 as a minimum.

Minor nitpick, but I just noticed the Showa ?? birth year in the tweet, and that would have raised red flags for me. Even for Japan, the doctored pic doesn’t really look 31, much less mid-30s or older.

Edit: Your translation is mostly correct (The second line is more like “Do you bike?”, but it sounds more natural in Japanese).

Note that this tweet also has a self-intro for motorcyclists hashtag.
You do have to use PhantomData, otherwise it won't compile:

> Trial-and-error debugging which version causes a bug is busywork, preventing it right when someone introduces the potential problem is at best annoying

It's a silly limitation. For example, u64 and u128 are not From<usize> because...well I have no idea. But you can't make them From, because Rust wants to reserve the right to make them From in the future. And you can't write a function that assumes they are NOT From, for the same reason.

So it's pointlessly hard to write generics over integers. I encounter lots of weird holes like this.

You're right that young people are investigated, and we don't see broad infection. I was thinking of causes for geriatric CJD, rather than vCJD. I'm skeptical of claims that geriatric declines are fully investigated. But the UK spike from contaminated food was very clear, and we don't see anything similar. Unless there's some low-level exposure the body can resist and a weakening blood-brain barrier/stroke/etc allows infection. But that's just speculation. Cheers.
> For example, consider implementing complex rational numbers. If you have a complex number type, and a rational number type, it should be relatively easy to combine them. Julia does this with literally 11 lines of code in Rational.jl, and 0 lines of code in Complex.jl . In Python, this is extremely difficult, to the point that nobody does it

It's really not difficult; yes, it's more verbose, sure.

> Python chose to emphasize list comprehensions over map + filter. The problem with that is that you now have syntax that doesn't generalize to other collections, especially custom collections.

Python has map/filter/reduce and they work fine. Comprehensions (and genexps) are more concise and cleae for 95% of use cases, I find, so I think the right choice was made there, though I do think people do tend to reach for them sometimes when map, filter, and friends are more appropriate.

> consider Julia’s do-block syntax[1], which is very similar to Python's with

It's more similar to Ruby’s block notation than Python with; it constructs an anonymous function and passes it to another function being called. It is true that with multiline lambdas at all, much less a convenience notation for passing them to other functions, with notation would be superfluous.

> Or compare Julia’s @spawn to Python’s async/await.

Why? They solve different problems. @spawn is equivalent to Python’s concurrent.futures.submit, and it’s buddy fetch() is concurrent.futures.Future.result(). Python has had those longer than it has async/await.

You're right of course. But the hero of the movie isn't Elsa. It's Anna-- who believes unswervingly in familial duty and responsibility, and who rehabilitates her sister and thus the remnants of her family through nothing more than her determination (and a call to action).

I think it's even simpler -- liars attracting any degree of press attention won't be able to get away with it.

"That picture was Photoshopped" doesn't work as a defense because it's not too difficult for experts to tell a Photoshop from a genuine image, nor to interview someone at the scene of an alleged event and learn the truth.

The same will be true with deepfakes, only much more so, because there are so many more ways to give away that it's a deepfake. Video adds new dimensions of scrutiny like how well the fake face tracks the head, matches lighting and expression, etc. Deepfake detection is in its infancy but you can bet it'll be even more accurate than Photoshop detection.

Before the internet you could have two local newspapers in every town, each profitably reporting facts.

Then the internet came and commoditised facts. New facts are disseminated immediately across social media. Open Google News and you can find thousands of articles covering the same event.

Suddenly, just reporting facts was no longer a viable business. Being a newspaper of record was no longer economically viable. Only the news media that shifted to reporting opinions, outrage, and entertainment survived.

NYT was fading into irrelevance up until mid-2016, it is now more relevant than ever: https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/NYT/

Ask HN: What may be causing high-pitched noise from computer case?
I've got a custom-built Ryzen 5 PC in a Rosewill Micro-ATX case that a roommate built for me a couple of years ago. It has two hard drives and two SSDs, but no video card. Recently it's been producing a very high pitched tone that I can't figure out what it may be caused by. Today I pointed a condenser microphone at it and opened a spectrum analyzer showing the tone is in the 12khz range.

I've turned off speakers and monitors in the past thinking that's where the tone is coming from, but it's from the PC. There is fan noise and hard drive noise that are much lower pitched and easier to identify, but this high pitched tone is very persistent and infuriating and not obviously from fans or drives. What else may it be?

I enjoyed the post, and the startup looks cool as well. I can clearly see the pain point. I think it will be a challenge positioning this product, because in order for a customer to be able to use it, presumably they already need relatively mature DevOps pipelines, in order to give Release(Hub?) something they can deploy/manage. And if I already have automated builds and a CI pipeline, is it really that much more work to automate sandbox deploys as well? Why wouldn't I deploy to my own infra, or some hosted k8s service, or GitLab Auto-DevOps?

I'm sure you've thought about this challenge, so I'm curious what your plans are in terms of adding value outside of "deploy to sandbox" workflows that can be replicated by CI tools and cloud providers (keep in mind that VC-funded startups, presumably your ideal customer, often have $100k+ in cloud credits to burn through). I see data snapshots, so that's a start maybe. But are you working on anything that will be hard to replicate?

(Also, unrelated, but I love the design!)

I started on a project of this nature about 2 years ago. So cool that they've follow through.

My method was to have users record samples, re-amp them through each pedal, record the output and then make that available back to the user.

It wasn't live/realtime. And the pedal setting has to be pre-defined.

It worked, but it was limited. My intention was to use it for rare / vintage / analog pedals.

Fun project, but this execution is waaaaay better. Very glad someone got it.
My parent org is starting to take their vuln scan results and report them to c levels.

When they told me I informed them I stopped using their vulnerability scanner years ago because they would not allow me to chnage anything in it, including exclusions to icmp time stamps or other vulns Ive mitigated while proper fixes were in the works.

So I rolled my own and use that to audit my systems. They don’t care because “policy”. My c levels will just ask and then promptly disregard all future reports, adding to the noise

See Washington DC today, essentially the same thing is happening there as the Capitol complex and building that the citizens used to be able to just walk into and knock on their representatives' office like any other government office, has now been surrounded by concertina wire and fencing and militarized like the green zone in Iraq was.

I have been saying this for a while, the globalist ruling class all around the world is essentially trying to separate themselves from the rabble … or is it cattle? … around them.
From the other replies here, it sounds like what kubernetes does for most people is what people used to do with bash scripts in the past: automatic configuration and deployment of sets of Phoenix servers (except in containers instead of vms these days) with infrastructure as code. The main difference sounds like you write declaratively and you get to use yaml. It seems to throw in monitoring and control too, which seems like a timesaver. Is that about right?
Could you have used the key as a simple crypto-key? As in, give them the two digit number, and tell them "Turn to page 17+the number of the key".

Or if you wanted to make them work a little harder and maybe teach a little math, "17 times the number mod 47".

Of course they can still be dishonest, but it gives them an opportunity to have solved a simple puzzle. They get to the correct page because they "won".

Cell networks are only semi-reliable here, a significant portion of people don't use smart phones (or really care about their phones), and that also needs to be linked to some electronic "value store".

Not quite "picked up by magnetic film", but nowadays it's very common do use things like KryoFlux, which essentially reads the magnetic flux changes on a very low level, and therefore provides a very detailed (for almost all intents and purposes: 100% faithful) image of the actual disk. Not just its filesystem or any other higher level.

Reading in a disk drive is also usually entirely nondestructive (barring any mechanical issues), so that's a very good solution already.
Cockroach definitely seems like a case where you'd want to keep your design more conservative, putting in more effort and being stylistically more restrictive to reduce bugs and increase performance, compared to something like a stateless application that talks to many backend services and is not a big deal if it crashes occasionally.
