The issue I see as far as civil rights goes is that the TSA reports evidence of crimes, real or imagined, to law enforcement. The TSA is allowed to perform invasive, non-optional searches of the traveling public that no law enforcement agency could perform; that should leave no room for any "cooperation" with law enforcement. Right now we have a back door that law enforcement agencies can use to avoid meeting the legal requirements for searching a person or their belongings: relying on a non-law-enforcement agency that follows a completely different set of rules.

To put it another way, the reason we allow drug tests of railroad workers is to ensure employees are sober when they are operating dangerous equipment. The reason we allow the TSA to search people and their belongings is to prevent terrorism. In neither case should there be any form of "cooperation" with law enforcement agencies based on a search that the law enforcement agency itself could not have performed.

Personal Data of More Than Half a Billion Facebook Users Leaked Online
People underestimate the impact of that case. 2nd Amendmemt cases can actually have a leg to stand on if a group is willing to push it hard enough. There's still the certiorari hurdle to traverse, but it'd be nice to see the justices set their minds to it.
Isn't operator overloading usually a bad idea for high-performance maths? It limits you to binary operations (unless you go down an even deeper rabbit hole of template meta-programming), when many oprimized algorithms are ternary or even higher arity (e.g. optimized matrix multiply-and-add).
I've always thought the most scary thing about this practice is that your (unique) phone number is a powerful "foreign key" which could potentially join data from many other leaked databases, forming an even larger dataset on you.

There are plently of other places we give our phone numbers to, which might not have anywhere near the protections that Facebook say they provide.

Read the history of the field.

Read textbooks, oldest ones first.

Don't try to understand a field by looking at the new research.

Ignore anything you see in the popular press, newspapers, TED talks, or the internet generally.

Read opinions by experts in adjacent fields whose expertise you can more readily evaluate.

Good luck :-)

> -- Mineral scarcity/cost of mining

It's one of the more common elements on earth. There is no scarcity. Just cost of extraction.

> -- Cost of processing, refining lithium

Generally dropping. Also batteries can be recycled after their decades of useful life. It's not an expended resource, unlike anything oil based. Otherwise economies of scale apply. It's getting cheaper.

>-- Cost of making battery chemical contents

Non zero. But they last long (decades) and you can recycle. Maybe compare to a gallon of diesel which you extract, refine, and transport at great cost. Then you burn it and lose the ability to recycle it. It's almost obscene how inefficient that is in comparison. So the answer is infinitely better than anything ICE.

>-- Cost of assembling rest of complete battery

Seriously?! I refer you to the latest production statistics of the likes of Tesla, VW, LG and a few other manufacturers that have failed to collapse during the recent economic crisis by virtue of doing a generally great job of growing their business in the middle of a global pandemic. Unlike some ICE manufacturers.

Lithium might eventually be displaced by something better. Better as in even cheaper to harvest, manufacturer, package and leverage. The bar is pretty high at this point.
It is not a crime, and the TSA's mission is not to prevent people from taking stupid risks with their money or property (nor is the TSA a law enforcement agency, so it is not really relevant that it is not a crime). What the TSA did was unjustifiable, regardless of whether or not you understand why someone would travel with that much cash.

Your father very well may have had a route that allowed him to make easy restroom stops, but it's pretty easy to disprove your assertion.

No, it's because he's an employee and not the founder of the company. Bezos is the founder and that's why he's got a big net worth. He owns 9% of a ~$2 trillion company.

Show HN: New toy for vehicle oriented makers and hackers
My company does mainly "things with race car data", and every now and then we've put together some simple lab setups with dev boards. Re-doing the same things got boring, so we started putting together stuff we regularly need to reduce the startup time for these lab setups.

We're also in love with the whole idea of open source and the "electronics revolution" that gave us so much so at some point we thought we might want to share our platform with the world. This is it; it's OSHWA certified and we intend to make as much source code as we can open source as well (MIT licensed).

There is also a crowdfunding campaign currently ongoing, although you can of course produce them yourself. Everything you'd need is in the GitHub repo.
I need to figure something out for this. I have narcolepsy and depression and I've fallen into this cycle where I'm tired, so I sleep, then I wake up still tired because I don't get restful sleep, so I go back to sleep. When I'm not at work, I'm unmotivated and bored and I'd rather be asleep, so I go to sleep. Then I wake up tired and so on and so forth. Essentially if I'm not at work and don't absolutely have to do something, I'm asleep.

While I'm at work, I'm daydreaming about sleeping. When a friend manages to get me out of the house, I'm thinking how much I'd rather be asleep. I've got meds for the narcolepsy and meds for the depression, and they make it less bad, but I'm still miserable most of the time. The narcolepsy meds make me able to function and the depression meds keep me from killing myself, but being awake and alive isn't the same as content and fulfilled.

It doesn't help that I work a late shift and have been averaging 60 hours a week for the last 6 months.

Sleep deprivation therapy is news to me and you seem like you might have some knowledge about the subject. So do you have any recommendations as far as therapies and strategies I could look into for this anti-insomnia?

A second reply. If you sincerely believe all behavior is based on self preservation, perhaps you do not understand that a sincere Christian, seeing each person as good and capable of more good and worth suffering for, can thrive in all sorts of environments, being a angel to others and not being untrue to God and without being a notable asshole. We have songs for training people in how to do this, about Love and the Christ in me greets the Christ in thee and on on.

"images of child abuse are not child abuse".

Right. Because those images were just created magically? Someone took them. And there's a market for them.

If there's no market for such pictures, likely less children will suffer the consequences.

Fighting the crime directly is important, but so is doing it indirectly.

Read about the suicide rates in the UK by women before and after the country changed the type of gas stoves. Indirect effects can be very strong.

Interesting. I briefly checked into one of his retorts and it appears just as poorly sourced. Take this one:

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has stated that, “Insufficient sleep is a public health epidemic.”

If you follow the link (which doesn't even go to the CDC site!), it's dead. If you go get the 473 page report from the CDC for 2014 (implied by the dead link) from https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/hus/hus14.pdf, you find the word sleep used only 3 times (once in the index) and no such quote.

I don't read a lot of self-help books, but the ones I have have been extremely helpful. Some people don't respond to them and 95% of what's on the market are bullshit platitudes, but it feels like throwing the baby out with the bathwater to write them off entirely.
Having worked extensively with both WinForms and Delphi GUI designers, I consider WinForms far better.

WinForms designer is actual C# code, you can copy and execute that code outside of the designer. It's possible to search for references to a control in the designer, just the same as any other code. Often in Delphi, trying to accomplish the same thing in code as in the designer had a very obscure relationship. WPF feels much closer to the way Delphi did things, where your GUI is defined in different format than your code.

In WinForms, creating a new control requires, well, just write a class that descends from Control, compile, and then you can start using it. In Delphi, creating a new control means you need an independent project, compile it into a package, and figuring out how to install it. I remember fighting Delphi trying to understand the package management system, and it was way more complicated.

In WinForms, when you design a new control, it actually executes your code, so design time behaviors actually reflect what will happen at runtime. I remember having stuff in Delphi where a large control would be collapsed into a single line, and you couldn't actually tell what you were working with until you run it.
The thing to remember is that popsci books are not peer-reviewed academic literature. They are the, generally unchecked, thoughts of the author. If you listen to them, you do so at your peril as you are effectively performing alterations to your life based purely on the thoughts of one person. Much like with medicine, you should seek multiple qualified opinions.

We shouldn't call this euphemistically "greed and bureaucracy" when we can call it what it is: corruption at every level (from the legislator to the guy in the agency setting the policy).

As I said in the past, we're trained to think that the pervasive small time corruption is the dangerous one, the small bribe you may give to a cop to get out of a speeding fine. In reality that type has close to no impact on society compared to high level corruption like this.

If this had happened in any "3rd world country" nobody would hesitate to call it corruption.

There are many, many networking and originally UNIX tools tricks (e.g. SSH) you can show to the poor people supporting industrial networks/ hardware. I have written some of my tricks down in this OrgPage: https://www.orgpad.com/s/UHUor4 there are screenshots for Linux and Windows for some things related to SSHFS, SOCKS Proxy and more. Click units with shadows to open them. From time to time, I update it to reflect new tricks.

This knowledge saved at least 2 companies hundreds if not thousands of euros in on-site support, hardware and other expenses. Funnily, while these things are quite hacky, they tend to work better than most of the dedicated hardware I have seen in practice, while keeping you/ the technician/ engineer in control. With any kind of working infrastructure, you can estimate how good your solutions are because you don't get called at random times and from monitoring/ explicit contact you just see/ hear the things work fine.
I have used this dict solution before in scripts and I am not proud of it.
It's hard for me to separate a language from what it is used to accomplish, and from that perspective, Python has been far too large to fit in one head for a good long time. Perhaps that is why I don't find any compulsion for language purity.
> This bet either has a positive EV or a negative one and if it’s positive it’s going to tend to infinity when repeated.

This is wrong. The bet as described has a positive EV and the time average for a single player tends to zero as the bet is repeated.

> There is one assymmetry at the zero point (assuming people can’t recover from bankruptcy by borrowing another dollar) ...

The result is not due to zero being an absorbing value. In the setup you can go arbitrarily small and come back without issue. The result is the same.

As a counterpoint I can think of dozens of personal acquaintances who are happily non-users and never interact with Facebook properties (retirees not into tech, busy executives, to cool for Facebook hipsters). If your country or social circle doesn't use WhatsApp, Facebook itself is already dying and Instagram is getting their lunch eaten by Tiktok.
I mostly agree, but I think value types are likely to put pressure on this area. I think C++ style overloading would be a mistake, but maybe a monoid interface and some language changes to turn operators in to method calls could work. The thing that Java does well on is that it is easy to read and you wouldn’t want to break that property. Understanding the types of expressions can be hard enough without operators doing weird things, but having a system that doesn’t allow adding two different numerical types would also feel poor.
I love how Scala does case match with case classes. You can essentially unpack the attributes of a case class and match on them and put additional guards. Example:

bob match {

case Person("bob", _) => println("hi bob!")

case _ => println("I don't know you")

}

I think its important that match returns something so you can use outside of a function which this doesn't do.

val greeting = bob match { ... }

I thought it would be a fun exercise to write case classes in python, kind of like an improved immutable data class with a match that returns.

Not incongruous, I think. By basically legalising drugs, prostitution, and similar victimless peccadillos (and focusing on treatment and support instead), you destroy the mob's business model, reduce opportunity for corruption, and allow cops to concentrate on real crime.

Don’t forget that these customers don’t have a better option, because of credit, down payment, proof of income, or other factors.

Taking away someone’s best option doesn’t help them. Giving them a better option does, but I never see people who are arguing against these practices rushing out to make these loans on favorable terms.
That's a requirment for any language that isn't allocating everything on heap. Nothing to do with borrow checker.

The Linux kernel devs have banned VLAs from their codebase, so you can get a lot of context from that discussion. (https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Linux-Ki...).

That's not what I was saying. I didn't say you don't need to exercise or eat healthy, I said you don't need a nutrionist or a wellness coach. Do you know how I know I need to exercise or cut down on sugar? When my belt starts to get tight, when my posture gets bad, when I lose muscle and when I wheeze running up the stairs. Then I know I need to switch the beer for water and take the bike instead of the train to work, problem solved.

Never in my life have I ever wasted a minute installing exercise apps on my phone, reading exercise books, instead I've just gone to public pool and done my laps and for some reason I'm in better shape than some of my peers who seem to spend hundreds of dollars per month on books, peloton courses and exercise audiobooks.
“What we're seeing is that even though the expected value is positive, and the ensemble average is increasing, the time average for any single person is usually decreasing. The average of the entire "system" increases, but that doesn't mean that the average of a single unit is increasing.”

Someone new to ergodic theory may understand from that article that if wealth was ergodic the average for every trajectory would increase like the average for the entire system. But that doesn’t make sense.
Ironically, this is the same reason law enforcement has to jump through extra hoops to get IRS data.

If that financial data were shared without protections, no one would declare anything. Which hamstrings the capability of the service to operate. The same logic should be applied to TSA. If they must violate the 4th Amendment to keep airlines able to do business, they should not be able to tag in law enforcement, and more importantly, they should not be acting as an extension of DEA or Customs. It should be strictly limited to disarmament/destructive device detection.

But lets be honest with ourselves, That is too sane and principled to ever be executed on.
Allowing you to define types is quite uncommon, but many config languages allow more types than JSON (so more than boolean, number, string, list, dict). Date datatypes are a big one and are provided by about every second JSON variant, in addition to TOML, ION and others.
I love the idea! I've been wishing for multiplayer game development to be free of networking troubles for a long time.

Are you sure you need a new programming language? It seems like a DSL or a framework would do for the problems you're trying to solve, and you'd save time for yourself by not writing a standard library, and for your users by letting them use a language they know.
