I honestly don't see the corruption potential with the greens, what I see is a great potential for the Greens to succumb to populism and incompetence outside of their core strengths.

The Berlin rent control was just a cover up rent for some stupid mistakes that were made in the past. It's basically a bribe to the public. Oh, we sold government owned housing to private investors? Here, have some forcibly lowered rent payments. Of course they rushed the bill and it was overturned.

If the greens can somehow figure out how to avoid falling into these self inflicted traps they would be strong enough to stand their own, as it is right now they still need some common sense beaten into them. My hope is that they do their big government investments, let the economy recover and then either become a boring government party or stay a quirky opposition party.
Covid-19 is a baby bike with training wheels. And we fail disastrously at that. It is far from the worse scenario epidemiologists train for, but it could easily become one: a variant with high lethality can always appear suddenly.

And yes, malaria is not discussed enough. I remember Bill Gates releasing mosquitos in a room before a speech to get the public attention "these could carry a deadly disease we have no cure for"

Beware NEM 3.0.

Note that the CA utilities are working to try to keep milking you even if you have solar. The most loathsome part of it is that the utilities are trying to charge you $10/month/kilowatt-peak for the array you own, even if they push zero energy onto the grid. From my perspective, that's ridiculous rent-seeking. Personally I'm working towards getting off the grid entirely.
My anecdote is that I got the JJ and kinda regret it, this blood clot thing made me realize it’s pretty untested , I feel like they should be recommending everyone get a full panel blood test a week after to add more data. After the AZ issues there should have been more scrutiny of the early clot cases

So it occurs to me that this map and other light pollution maps are estimated, not measured.

The town I live in is in a valley. Go north past the mountains and it gets very dark quickly. In fact, the light is blocked significantly that I don't have to go very far to get to a dark sky.

Just a reminder that AstraZeneca has not applied yet to the FDA for emergency use authorization.
This is great, but a gigantic Public Communications disaster.

I had a vax-sceptic friend send me an article from a reputable source, quoting claims from the National Health Agencies and WHO etc. about the 'blood clots' which essentially conclude that 'they are rare and treatable' ... but my friends 'interpretation' was that the vax was 'unsafe'. She literally couldn't grasp that the data in the article was supposed to make her conclude it was 'safe'. She just read 'fear'.

40% of developed world people are either 'not very literate' or 'not paying attention' or have 'reading comprehension' problems whereing they are not going to engage with the material to derive conclusions.

While the public health agencies decisions are a little cautious, they are reasonable, but the 'communications' of it via random articles with bits of 'facts' is a complete disaster from a Public Communications perspective and is causing probably measurable harm.

If there is a 'marginal risk' of 4 in 1 million of 'blood clotting' and it's entirely treatable, then this information should be made available and transparent during the official conferences, but it should not be headline news.

Whenever material information is presented regarding concerns, they have to be contextualized, and if the conclusion is effectively 'the vax is perfectly safe, this is just an administrative thing' then this has to be repeated over and over.

From the FDA: "Out of every 10,000 women taking birth control pills, 3 to 9 of them will develop a blood clot".

That is about 100x greater than clotting from AstraZeneca Vaccine, and 10's of millions of American women are taking it daily. Now that's context.

Every single story about COVID needs to start and end with the 'Net reality facts' about vaccination, which as of today is: 'It's utterly safe, basically for everyone, and it will help stop the spread and keep other safe'.

When messaging critical information for the masses it needs to be simple, clear, consistent, repetitive, words need to be chosen very carefully, and assume you're dealing with a 'Grade 8' audience in terms of net comprehension/attention/understanding.

Almost all intelligent professionals live in bubbles, we tend to have no grasp of how it is out there for a large swath of the population.

Even public health agencies web-sites are overloaded with information, literally with critical information in 'downloadable PDFs' (???), it's not good, I hope we develop a new approach but I don't think we will.
From your link:

> Boyko studied the number of goals scored by a team at home versus those scored while away, and found that teams scored 1.5 home goals on average, and 1.1 while away.

Players seems like they would have much more of an effect on goals compared to referees. Players can equally be affected by crowds.

It seems very hard to separate the effects so you can show referee bias. The linked page does not show anything that confirms that referees rather than players are affected.

The author's beef seems to be "people use similar terminology across similar libraries/frameworks/platforms but they don't behave identically and represent subtly different things". Maybe I don't do enough data scienceing, but isn't this super common? Like, if I write a parser... I'd probably call the main function "parse", or if I'm writing a database connector, I'd probably call the function "connect" to do the connecting. I personally wouldn't expect those to work identically or mean the same exact abstraction. I personally love when things are named similarly so I can grok the meaning in a new codebase more quickly, even if things don't transfer identically.
There's not really extensive long term use of the viral vector vaccines either.

Like, there's an Ebola vaccine that was approved in the last couple years.

Not the first time, unlike what the article says [1]. I don't know if there was any follow-up on the previous case, but a big ethical concern was that human DNA was used to increase their brain capacity, and if they had been allowed to be born, then they would have been as intelligent as humans. So it raises the question of what counts as a human, and did the scientists effectively create "humans" in a lab, then terminate them once the experiment was over.

Honestly, this is an amazing idea be if for individual creators or studios. It should also have a way to tag specific media that caused them to want to contribute so it is a wallet vote for more like this.

Really all creators should just have anonymous donation options for people that want to support -them- without supporting the toxic labels and DRM situation.

The parent's point is that studies such as this don't fully account for the potential for players behaving better because they are at home.

How does “reimplement contributions” work in practice? For trivial changes there’s often no alternate implementation (e.g. correcting a typo) and for anything substantial anybody currently involved in the project would be tainted with exposure to the implementation.

The thing is that the death rates would be manifold higher if not for those measures. In the global study on the effects of covid we are all in the treatment condition.

That said, I agree that many of those resources would be better spent on eradicating hunger and slavery, as well as the poverty diseases.
Tesla designs mostly FSD related chips. They buy tons of other of the shelf chips like any other manufacturer.

They have stopped S/X lines, their highest profit margins models by far, for refresh. But that’s been already delayed by many months, and it’s not expected to start production anytime soon. Their metal moving volume sellers got couple of price increases in a short time.

One thing we know is that we cannot trust Tesla not lie about their production issues. During model 3 ramp up they were repeating how great they’re doing. And recently Musk acknowledged that it was such a chaos, that they were few weeks away from bankruptcy.

While Tesla doesn’t admit they are affected by chip shortage, if it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.

Unspoken workplace requirement. Sort of peer pressure, too, I guess. Also, I did not want to make others (around me) uncomfortable.
I don't think that is the complaint. Referee bias is just human nature. People have a hesitancy to make a decision that will immediately cause tens of thousands of people to scream at them. That likely is the primary explanation here. Yet there is nothing done to isolate the refs outside of just averaging play among leagues and assuming that takes care of differences in play style. However players are impacted by fans just like referees. There can be a reasonable hypothesis that visiting players play less aggressively in empty stadiums which could also explain some of the observed changes. The numbers included in the article are not enough to draw conclusions on what is causing these changes.
The title was slightly altered because the original was too long. Unfortunately it misses the part that may be particularly interesting to HN:

"The donation was made by Tim Sweeney ..., the founder and CEO of Epic Games, who is also a conservation philanthropist who has purchased many large tracts of land across WNC to be forever preserved."
Agreed with the other responses. The main reason there are lots of malaria deaths is often due to the lack of access to medication but for folks that do, it is similar to the flu stateside.

I was born and raised in Uganda and I'm shocked by this. Ebola was 100x more scary than malaria growing. At least way back before this recent vaccine. Get Ebola you are basically screwed, get malaria have a pill

To be fair on your part, as an 'expat' (I have a lot of qualms with this word, see https://www.theguardian.com/global-development-professionals... as a starter), its harder as your immune system didn't grow up with it and so when you get it, its much worse. Quinine in my head is a hard core malaria drug for the tough cases (well atleast in was 10-20 years back). But for folks born and raised it really was like the flu. When I go back these days though, I'm in the same boat and actually start a dosage of anti malarials a week before I arrive

Malls need to improve along a number of dimensions. Better dining, easier transportation or integration into live / work / play mixed use, and addition of grocery stores would make them better than Amazon.

Add a Target to any mall and it's twice as good. Add good food or a movie theater, and that's my weekend shopping destination.

Build instant check out. That'd be a game changer. One of the worst parts of shopping is the checkout process.

Malls need to improve. They can win, but they have to get better. Lean into the things Amazon can never do. Physical, social, evening or weekend as a destination you plan your time around.
They put weights on the steering wheel[1] to trick the system into thinking there was a hand on the wheel. This is not new.

I am surprised Tesla isn't using the seat weight sensors as an input to this as well. Maybe that can be done through a software update, but then someone would figure out they could put some dumbbells on the seat. This is a cat-and-mouse game, but it makes sense to have higher barriers so blame can clearly be assigned to people who go out of their way to abuse the system. If someone puts weights on the accelerator pedal, the car would still move forward.

Malls need to be remade. I like the few I've gone to that are mostly outside or have some open airways and greenery, art, music, some sort of novelty event or thing to check out. I don't really miss giant generic malls at all. They're used more as a free babysitter and I hate visiting them.
I'm familiar with French culture. What about it would you argue makes it more skeptical (as I'm reading what you wrote to mean) than the government-skeptical US population?
Or put a proxy in front of it.
I highly recommend Sal’s YouTube channel. He goes and explores malls that are on their deathbed.

It’s truly surreal to see places that once had so much life now almost completely empty and falling out of repair.

PowerQuery assumes tabular data where each column is the data type and each row is a data element / entity. It is structured similar to a database.

In a spreadsheet the data is much less structured which is where a lot of the power comes from - for instance PowerQuery doesn’t really support things like subtotals easily, or doing scratch-calculations, or building quick financial models. It is closer to a paper-ledger with calculations scribbled into the margins than a big-data database.

PowerQuery is more about ingesting lots of data and cleaning it, while finance is often about working stuff out and playing with numbers to see what happens - and playing with numbers is easier in a less-structured-loosely-typed environments.

Tying a weight to the steering wheel is frequently alluded to but never outright spoken of in most Tesla forums, moderators will ban people who say it since, as the article says, it's incredibly stupid (and damaging to one's self, and Tesla, to do so).

The fact that the driver's seat weight sensor isn't used to disable AP is a silly oversight and should be fixed. Multiple people have suggested that the internal camera above the rear view mirror could try doing eye tracking, but I actually doubt it would work effectively from that angle.

I don't know if that was a typo, but letting users run the software on your computer, isn't 'distribution' in the usual sense. What you said sounds true of the GPL, but doesn't give a complete account of the AGPL.

"Never" is wrong. Unless you mean never until the seatbelt mandates of the 90's. Or MADD in the 80's. Or the 70's when OSHA reared its ugly head. Or the 50's with anti-litter laws and campaigns. Or prohibition in the 20's. Or never until the FDA was founded? A hundred years is a little late to complain about this "big shift."

Disclaimer: none of what follows is criticism of you, of your contribution, or even of regex. I’m actually tickled by such a terse comment giving me so much to think through.

- - -

This is my fourth attempt at understanding the intent of this pattern. I’m quite comfortable with regex, so much so I listed it on my resume skills list for years as sort of a glib joke. I think I’ve been overthinking this one. For my benefit I’m gonna describe what I think this matches and ask you to confirm. For others I hope the description helps.

This appears to be intended to match a balanced double quote, where any characters between may be anything besides a backslash or double quote, or any character preceded by a backslash. The content between the bounding quotes isn’t captured, which is to say parentheses usually designate a capturing binding like $1 or \1 depending on language/context, but the ?: tells the regex engine you don’t need/want that binding.

If I’m understanding all of that correctly, it’s probably very close to what you intended but definitely highlights two of the biggest problems with regex:

1. Intent is easily lost on read. This is trite to say, but I’m pointing it out as someone who’s played regex golf for fun and still spent over an hour getting confident enough to describe what this short pattern appears to do.

2. Balanced pairs allowing an escaped terminator are not “regular language”. It’s possible (and I think probable but I’m not at a device capable to confirm) that this pattern is safe because the balanced pairs are single-character and there’s only one possible escape. But the fact that I can’t say so with confidence is something that would make me cautious using it.

All of that said, if I were writing this. I’d try to make it both more clear in intent and a little more predictably resilient.

1. I’ll include slash delimiters to remove ambiguity.

/"(?:[^\\"]|\\.)*"/

2. I’ll express the escape exception first:

/"(?:\\.|[^\\"])*"/

3. I’ll remove the need to check unescaped characters by terminating the match on the first unescaped quote (using ? after a wildcard is non-greedy and stops at the first match; the default is to match to the last):

/"(?:\\.|.)*?"/

I think this makes me feel a little more confident with the escaping, but I’m still iffy without testing it. But it does make for a pretty cool emoticon!

Final thoughts:

- Almost everywhere you could use regex will not match any kind of line breaks. That might be desirable but depends on what you’re trying to do.

- Even with the abundance of caution I expressed, this is decidedly unsafe for processing user input. For example I’m certain this would be an XSS vulnerability.

I honestly don't know, but I would have to imagine something like fixing typos would fall under "this is obvious" and you can't claim copyright on it. And likewise, if your algorithm that you contributed was obvious, it would fall under the same rule.

Note, I'm just speculating of course, but I do know changing license is something that does happen and I'm sure Minio is probably looking at getting people to sign off on previous contributions. And if they can't get the contributor's consent, will look at re-implementing things or just not use previous contributions, since it is possible that the previous contribution is no longer used.

Very few people want to have a probabilistic back button where sometimes it works and sometimes you have to hold it down to go “deep back”. We complain about history pollution all the time on HN which is what your proposal would amount to, and it would be very confusing for most people.

On mobile, it’s not obvious where you’d stuff power user UI for redirect chain analysis. On desktop, you can keep devtools open or even create a browser extension with the exact UX that you want for this.
I'm wondering here if this data is currently oversized? If the use case is all mobile, has your product committed to losslessly storing something or not?

While there's definitely a cross-over point where you should roll your own, the overhead costs of running a storage cluster reliably (and all the problem you don't really have to deal with because they're outsourced to AWS) mean it might be a better use of time and effort to see how much you can cut that number down by changing the parameters of your storage. The immediate savings will be much easier to justify.

Keep in mind you've also got a migration problem: getting 10PB off Amazon is not a simple, handsfree project.
