I get why bills are written in the same long-form as contracts. But it creates the problem that, just like most contracts, people don't really understand the contents. (Did you actually read the pile of papers you signed for your mortgage?)

Would it be unreasonable to require any proposed legislation include a comprehensive summary written at something like a 10th grade reading level?

Something like this could help eliminate the manner in which long-form effectively bars most citizen participation in the legislative process. It would also force a degree of clarity on the implications and meanings within a proposal.

We should never, ever have to hear "We need to pass it so we can see what's in it."

As an aside, I also think there should be hard limits on the size of a single piece of legislation. If a competent reader can't sit down, read, and understand it in a single sitting, it's too long.

I don't think the "deprive you of your volition" part is true. Private companies can absolutely do this to you as an individual - either as an employee or a consumer. And, they can do it through both direct and indirect means.

Ditching cloth masks for low costs medical masks was a revelation for me. I can finally hold a conversation with someone or walk a few flights of steps without it getting suction-cupped to my face. I even leave them in place during workouts because I simply forget they are there (rather than pulling them off for my set).
You seem to think this experiment was performed on the Linux kernel itself. It was not. This research was performed on human beings.

It's irrelevant whether any bugs were ultimately introduced into the kernel. The fact is the researchers deliberately abused the trust of other human beings in order to experiment on them. A ban on further contributions is a very light punishment for such behavior.
The laptop is/was real. Are you actually maintaining that it is fake?
A good red team pentest would have been to just stop after the first round of patches, not to try again and then cry foul when they get rightfully rejected. Unless, of course, social denunciation is part of the attack- and yes, it's admittedly a pretty good sidechannel- but that's a rather grisly social engineering attack, wouldn't you agree?

It's not just convenience and speed. In hot markets, the appraised values can't keep up with market prices (since the comps are a half year old). If the buyer doesn't have resources well above the minimum to make up for the difference between the appraised value and the sales price, it's likely a loan cannot be approved. Before 2009, appraisers would just appraise at the sale price because the real estate agent that hired them wouldn't hire them again if they didn't.
The new variants seem to be far more infectious, and this time make up a majority of infections.

> IEEE seems to have no problem with this paper though.

IEEE is just the publishing organisation and doesn't review research. That's handled by the program committee that each IEEE conference has. These committees consist of several dozen researchers from various institutions that review each paper submission. A typical paper is reviewed by 2-5 people and the idea is that these reviewers can catch ethical problems. As you may expect, there's wide variance in how well this works.

While problematic research still slips through the cracks, the field as a whole is getting more sensitive to ethical issues. Part of the problem is that we don't yet have well-defined processes and expectations for how to deal with these issues. People often expect IRBs to make a judgement call on ethics but many (if not most) IRBs don't have computer scientists that are able to understand the nuances of a given research projects and are therefore ill-equipped to reason about the implications.
I mean, that's just bad development though. You can write React with literally 0 external libraries and have a fully-fledged state management solution built-in.

The same folks who fail to understand that and just recklessly add dependencies aren't going to craft a nice static HTML site with smart, minimal, performant JS; they just don't have the chops for clean solutions. The medium barely matters.
The authors write: it is notable that enhancements that improve the seal between the mask and the facial skin dramatically improve FFE performance, suggesting that fit, not material, is the intrinsic limiting factor for procedure masks.
Absolutely this.

People who refuse to wear a mask around others, or intentionally wear one poorly are just telegraphing how little they care for other people.
Thanks, that's actually probably the way to go. Great value for money.
Night terrors are not remotely normal. They are a fairly uncommon and extreme sleep issue.

My experience/understanding: Very bright kids get night terrors when you make sure they are physically tired enough to sleep but fail to make sure they are mentally tired enough to sleep. You need both to sleep deeply and bright kids who can't yet read have trouble reaching a state of being adequately mentally tired.

I suggest you join some parenting lists for people suffering from having made the mistake if giving birth to bright kids. Tagfam.org is probably still a good place to begin trying to find support resources and reliable info.

Edit: Bright kids are known to be prone to a variety of sleep issues. I spent twelve years arranging every minute of every day to make sleep feasible for one of my kids.
Ask HN: How to price a responsibly-disclosed bug bounty?
I'm consulting with a small, bootstrapped company, and a security researcher responsibly disclosed an extremely serious issue that leaked root database credentials. Based on the vulnerability, I doubt this researcher spent a ton of time discovering the exploit, but the value to the company is (obviously) tremendous.

I want to formally recommend a reward amount, but I know the company doesn't have much free cash. There is no bug bounty program in place. How do you go about thinking through pricing, especially for a non-BigCo? Thanks!
How I am reading your comment:

Higher demand will decrease prices for renewable sources, because of bitcoin mining, and such feedback eventually will lead to decrease prices in supply of renewable sources material.

I see a few false assumption, to say the least:

1. Material for renewable sources are not scares and there's production is cheap.

2. It is cheaper to mine from renewables sources then from non-renewable sources. (infrastructure cost)

3. There is no trend in replacing existing energy sources with renewables sources, without bitcoin.
It doesn't help the filtration that much. Anything caught by a cloth mask would also be caught by procedure mask material. It helps the fit while people move around though, and that seems pretty plausible.
thanks for the detailed response

i wasnt searching for anything related to my friend's suicide. i was in shock

based on my description, its clear as day to me that google's algo absolutely did parse the fact that my friend had died from suicide and did show me content that was intended to align with his tragic life. it wasn't friendly or empathetic content; it mocked him
and gaslighted me.

This isnt something I am letting go. I will take this to the tucking grave and put it along with all of my other observations if I have to, on my socmed memorial. all my childhood genius classmates will catch up to my memorial eventually and will have questions.

Google employee, can you help me out by looking into this?

No response is likely to be forthcoming -- they will never admit if it was some intentional malice, so they rely on the speculation of outsiders adhering to rational conclusion of incompetence over malice observations of entropy.

Google, I am assuming you engaged in a malicious psychological experiment on me using the data point of the news about suicide of a childhood friend to cybergaslight me. Until someone from google opens their data and algos and logs to prove otherwise, I am assuming based on my experience that you engage in premeditated malice on US citizens with their personal data

google and friends have too much data, too much power, and too little accountability. simply put, if they fail to help me to understand this, then they will be empowered to engage in any degree of malicious psychological experiments on unsuspecting US citizens with total impunity.

gaslighting me about tragic incidents or personal family:

Suicide (google), death of a parent while homeless (ok hes listening now..), threaten my nephew (clearance job), public utils nalo gaslighting (duff) -- google i'll give you a chance to look into this and get back to me. You fucked with my life and did nothing at all for me, are worth trillion(s). take some responsibility and help me out. please.

this isnt the appropriate venue for me to disclose my encounters with tech billionaires or celebrities and the associated threats I received, and i dont want to weave together speculative narratives between disjointed parties. google, please do the right thing and help me out here.

What I don't get is why we call ourselves democracies and speak as "lockdowns hurt poor people very badly"

In a representative democracy, you wouldn't lock down and force people to starve - you would lock down and provide income/food/capabilities for people to live regardless of their social/economic status.

locking down isn't why poor people hurt, locking down and doing nothing to feed them does.

It's like this pandemic is proving one thing - that we suck at democracy and we're not willing to do anything to fix it because we don't want to change how it works for so few when it doesn't work for exponentially more - as long as we're part of the so few, we'll turn a blind eye.
We are no where near having vacinated the whole world. And unless we change approach (from vaccine hoarding, nationalism, patents, export restriction) we likely wont get there.
> If you support one of those top five or six clubs - good for you. If you don't, then you don't have a realistic chance of seeing a league win in your lifetime.

And yet right now two of the top 6 teams are not the "6 big clubs" - Leicester and West Ham.

Liverpool, who walked the season last year, are doing about as well as Everton. Man City, who are currently top, lost just 2 weeks ago against Leeds - at home. I'm sure that Leeds fans were delighted by that performance, 10 years ago they were languishing in the 3rd tier. I know for a fact the football nerds in my family were delighted to see Wolves doing so well recently.

A football team is for life, not just for Christmas. You don't choose your team, it's something built in, whether you like football (or sport) or not.

My Dad, like his dad before him, and his dad before him, supported Wolves from a wee nipper in the 50s when they were winning the league (53-54 - snatching it from rival WBA, being claimed "Champions of the World" apparently for defeating Hungary, and being one of the first British teams in the champions league) through to his deathbed last month. Clearly in the 50s Wolves were one of the "big 6".

In the 60s they were doing great again, starting off with FA Cup wins and 2nd/3rd places in the league but by the mid 60s they were relegated. They bounced around in the 60s and 70s between first and second tiers, but by the mid 80s they were down in the 4th tier. Local boy Steve Bull came, and being far better than Andy Gray, catapulted Wolves back up the leagues. I remember them beating the undefeatable Man U about that time. With a "super league" that type of victory doesn't come.

In 2013 they were back in tier 3. The 2017/18 season they did outstandingly in Tier 2, greatest season for decades (or so I'm informed), and the following season in the top tier was blistering too - finishing 7th, getting into Europe, reaching the FA Cup Semi finals. What an exciting 5 years.

It's not just Wolves of course. Leicester were in the 3rd tier in 2008. By 2016 they'd won the Premier league. That type of rise, in 8 years, is the stuff dreams are made of.

Watford had a cracking Semi Final game against Wolves in 2019, coming from 2-0 down to win in extra time. Wolves had got rid of "big" teams like Man U on the way up, and the FA Cup is where anything can happen.

They lost 6-0. Man City were unstoppable. not bad for a team that were in the 3rd tier as recently as 1998

Crawley Town beat Leeds earlier this year in the FA Cup. In 2013 it was Wigan knocking out Man City. In 2015 3rd tier Bradford knocked out Chelsea. Third tier Oldham beat Liverpool in 2013, and of course non-league Lincoln beat Premier league Burnley in 2013, reaching the FA Cup quarter finals.

English Football has never been about a battle between a few big teams. When the century-old Wimbledon were Americaned, bought and moved 60 miles to Milton Keynes, the fans got behind the replacement. The replacements started off in the 9th tier, and are currently fighting the previous Wimbledon (now Milton Keynes) in the 3rd tier.
My main point is that we all know what the loop hole is. We even have a nickname for it.

It’s sad that so many detractors lack vision. They look to the past to attack the future.

It could be that the aspect of publishing that will be disrupted is the sense authorship itself. Perhaps blockchain will facilitate the ability for a single work to be generated by a large number of authors, with each contributor being compensated accordingly.
I think banning them for now is appropriate. Its a shot across their bow to let them know they have done something wrong. Moving forward if it was me I'd later re-evaluate such a wide ban because of the collateral damage. But at the same time, there needs to be redress for wrongdoing since they were actually caught. I'd definitely not re-evaluate until apology and some kind of "we won't waste time like this again" agreement or at least agreed-upon understanding is in place. Whatever shape that needs to be.

As for systematic issues, I'm not sure. But moving forward they'd want to confirm there aren't glaring omissions to let this happen again. Giving them suitable Benefit-of-doubt niceties might imply these are isolated cases. (But both of them?! Perhaps isolated to a small group of academics.)

Messy situation.

That's my univ, and I just did exactly that. Mos Kaveh happened to be head of the EE department when I was there for EE. He's a good guy and had a good way of managing stressed-out upper-division honors EE students, so I'm hopeful that he will take action on this.
This topic could be controversial, but maybe we can hack out some tools for it.

Previously, this would just have been part of team alignment. In a business culture that eshews black-and- white thinking, the zero-sum state of "safety," should be replaced with something more dynamic, like risk, because then it is something manageable you can reasonably engage with. Accepting the principle of psychological safety implies that it's not just a (unfalsifiable) fire alarm lever to pull. If anyone told me they felt "unsafe," it would be difficult not to make every effort to avoid them, and I think any lawyer would say the same. US law has this concept of "fighting words," which this concept is not directly, but appealing to safety is absolutely a legal and political threat, and it is not normal professional discourse. Since I am not a psychologist, I am not equipped to deal with psychological safety, and this is an HR issue.

Imo, we should really look at reframing "psychological safety," as something more manageable like, "burnout risk," "initiative risk," "working trust," or something else less formal.

Indeed. It seems redundant if smart contracts are just another expression of the “real”, legally enforceable contract. When not implement it in legalese directly and eliminate the possibility of a scam in the code?
I looked into staking eth to do my part. But my total return on staking is comprised of price appreciation, carrying costs, slippage in the form of fees (gas I think?), and finally the yield I get from the network for staking.

I am worried about price movement intruding into this scheme. How can the price of ethereum be stabilized so that staking or other forms of lending or collateralization can be done without the price drift wiping out the yield?

These researchers were in part playing on the reputation of their university, right? Now people at that university are no longer trusted. I'm not sure a more formal scrutiny process will bring about better results, I think it would be reasonable to see if the university ban is sufficient to discourage similar behavior in the future.
How do you pass arguments to your Make targets? Let's say you'd like to set `DB_USER` to "my_name", then, do you:

To me, having to type `user=` is very annoying, I want to do just `make psql my_name`.

But, I’m sorry, that makes little sense to me.

If I’m in the market for a laptop I would not buy an Intel Mac. Like you said, 3 generations ahead, it would be foolish. If we take what you said at face value then going from the latest Intel Mac to the M1 Mac is enough for most people to upgrade regardless (usual upgrade cycle is 3-5 generations). But I wasn’t making the argument that everyone should throw away their Intel Mac’s- only that if you can live with the limitations (as in, they don’t harm your productivity at all, many non-devs do use only one external screen if they use one at all) then it’s a no brainer and deserves the hype it gets.

I don't understand how a paper could contradict basic physics. Energy spent mining bitcoin is energy not spent doing something else. There are other ways to encourage more renewable energy production (e.g. government subsidies) that don't involve taking the resulting energy and turning it to waste heat. Even low-efficiency energy storage methods (like pumping water up a hill) are more efficient than simply turning the excess energy to heat.
