I have a memory that experts advised that it would be safest to perform nuclear bomb tests on the east cost because the trade winds tend to move west to east, and that would ensure that radioactive dust would not fall over habitable land, and result in this very thing.

The story being that the west coast was instead chosen because something, something congress.

However I'm struggling to find a source. Is this story familiar to anyone else?

> The language just feels very different from what I'm used to

The reason it feels very different is... because it is very different. Then why does it feel off? Because, while it is very different, it doesn't look very different. Then why doesn't it look very different, when it is very different?

That's because, Rust developers spent conscious effort to make Rust look similar. So feeling something is off with Rust is the result of intentional design of Rust developers. In a sense this is dishonest and deceiving, but Rust without similarity engineering would be considerably less popular and hence less successful.

Rust's ambition was to change the world, not simply to discover a way to change the world and leaving actual changing to others. (Although changing the world requires discovery first.) So Rust chose to "lie".

As an example, Rust's assignment(=) looks similar, but works very different. In fact, since it is very different, it was originally written <-. It was changed to = specifically to make it look similar.
I don’t know, of course, but I have a different sense of where Go will be if it survives generics. The lack of change will mean it’s reliable, it was never as pretty as some other things, and it doesn’t go too far out of its niche. A lot of languages that suffer past the honeymoon, it isn’t survival of the fittest, it’s just evolving bloat or ending up with vestigial organs - this is hard to get on board with for new developers.
TB3/USBC is insane and a mess.
Whoever decided to use the same connector is insane.

I have varying cables with the same connector which do:

- Power but not data

- USB Data but no/low power

- USB Data but only at USB2 speed (why?)

- USB Data but only USB3

- TB3

- LOL don't forget USB-PD

At least in the late 90s ecosystem of a dozen different connectors you could visually identify them. Now I have various special unicorn cables around the house which look the same, but only work for use case X or Y or Z.

Examples are things like - I have one cable that can charge my camera over USB-C, and one cable that can transmit data between my camera & MacBook.. but neither does both. I suppose I could acquire a third cable to accomplish that.

The natural followup question is how to make these tools easily trainable for a specific document type.

(After all, a human can do it, with some basic training. Ergo we should aim at computer being able to do it with equally simple training too. And in practice this doesn't seem like an insurmountable goal.)
The conundrum at the heart of BTC is that you have to introduce a second layer in order to work around the inherent limitations of the first. But at that point you may as well do away with that first layer, and then will have simply re-invented PayPay, which only goes to show how "blockchain technology" is almost entirely useless.

I always thought Australian culture had its individualistic streak like American culture. I guess I was wrong, or at least it's a different flavor of individualism.
> AFAIK, Go is the only language that really takes engineering seriously:

Ada is the consummate engineer's programming language. And with Spark, even more so. Unfortunately, the compilers were super expensive at a critical stage in its evolution. And the DoD thing.

And I've never used Rust professionally (unlike Go), but it has all the applicable points in the article you list (obviously no garbage collection). But in Rust, these features are often implemented in a more robust manner than in Go (eg, like Go, Rust avoids exceptions and uses error values, but instead of returning a special-cased interface, it returns a regular sum type, which allows for proper type checking of the error handling, and which is also composable since it's also a monad). And unlike Go, Rust got package management down from the start. Go's package management has gotten better, but it's still not as good as Rust's through Cargo (to be fair, Cargo is best of class).
You're bearish on new hardware for AI training because it takes 2 months to setup? That's like saying you're bearish on the invention of transistor because there are no computers yet. This chip is for research organizations such as LLNL and ANL. Tooling and commoditization will happen.

Good point! Yes, we have increased our rates but not kept them very high. I guess that's one of the reason potential clients continue to approach us. I think we are at a point where it makes sense to grow our team, but there are these constraints about wages etc as I mentioned in my description. We want to be as thoughtful and smart about hiring as possible. We are currently growing but we want to make sure whatever we do is sustainable in the long term. One option is to partner with other freelancers and sub-contract some stuff and we have done in few instances, but there's additional risk to that approach and probably not very beneficial in the long term
Why bother settling on the blockchain at all? The second-layer transactions could just float, like the dollar separated from the gold standard.

Yeah, I got an email from a recruiter about this company a while back. The main thing they touted was that it was run by Travis K. I wrote them back and said "Sorry, but that's actually a negative to me. Good luck." Sucks to be them, but it's good to know my instincts were on target.

transaction volume went up. the date roughly corresponds to the last peak of ~20k. high prices/volatility means more people rushing to transfer their coins in/out of exchanges.
The difficulty is what adjusts the distributed time function of the network to stay on target, so that the inflation is controlled, measured in Bitcoins. The Bitcoin network only knows about Bitcoins, not how much USD it trades for.

When the blocks being mined approximately every 10 minutes is valued higher in USD, naturally more people want more of those blocks. So the miners expand simply to compete, since what they compete for is worth more.
I might be misunderstanding the situation, but it sounds like the original captain knew what was going on and sacrificed Mohammed for his own freedom. I assume the captain has original responsibility in this case. The captain left the ship and never came back. He presumably told Egyptians that his first officer is now in charge, or the Egyptians boarded the ship and determined that the First Officer was the highest ranking official on the ship.

Either way it sounds like the Captain probably knew what was going on. When the Captain learned that the parent company had ran out of money, he probably was aware of these cases of seafarer abandonment and decided he didn't want to be one of them. So he left the ship, leaving the responsibility on Mohammed.

Mohammed claimed he didn't really know the meaning of this responsibility until everyone else started disembarking. It sounds like by then the captain had been gone, for at least 4 months, and potentially longer.

The Captain sacrificed Mohammed here. Either way, someone was going to be abandoned on that vessel. I think the Captain saw the writing on the wall and abandoned quickly, shifting responsibility onto someone else.

There are lots of people at fault here. Egyptian authorities, Tyson Shipping and Marine Company (which seems to have continued operating despite all this), and the Captain. Unfortunately Mohammed is one of the innocent ones caught in the middle. He shouldn't have signed the paper as the shipping company is quick to point out. But that doesn't resolve the real issue. It would have just meant the Captain or someone else would have been forced into this situation.
There are a lot of people who in fact do consider “research” that comes out of social media companies to be both ethically and, in many cases, procedurally tainted, and thus unusable and unpublishable as-is.
I can understand why you would say that based on all of the stereotypes floating around, but honestly I've never seen this argument move the needle for anyone.

For some they just say 'I'll do it for a dollar' and disengage. Realistically the cost of incarceration isn't what's driving their argument for the death penalty, it's just a talking point.

For me, it's just the price of due process.

Maybe to save a few keystrokes, I think we are too flippant about the death penalty today but I think its an essential part of a justice system.

This definitely applies to Google's PaaS offerings. Google App Engine looks like a great solution except your app is now entirely stuck on a constantly changing platform. The drop-in components they offer are constantly getting deprecated and re-architected with no clear upgrade path. For example many of their original drop-in components were custom (Memcache, Taskqueues, NDB) and are now deprecated with no interoperability with the now recommended 3rd party components. If you depended on these components you now are either existing in a precarious purgatory or you need to rip out and replace all uses of those libraries which completely reneges on the PaaS value proposition

Thanks for taking the time to explain. I guess I remain skeptical as it seems like a lot of complexity that is slowly replicating the traditional banking system - just with transactions enumerated in a volatile equity instead of $currency. Perhaps I'm just getting old.
It reminds me of the court case that was controversial when Gorsuch was confirmed involving a trucker - "TransAm Trucking v. Dept. of Labour" in particular. It's another case where company property is valued over individuals lives - the case itself hinged on the fact that the employee was free to leave the site on foot but that it was illegal for him to use the tractor half of the truck owned by the employer to reach safety without authorization from the employer. Essentially the ruling of that case leads to the learned lesson that all truck drivers should strap private motorcycles to the sides of their trucks - doing otherwise is irresponsible.
I think that's pushing the boundary on what can be considered advertising these days. It's a question of choice. Advertisements are foisted upon (mostly) unwilling viewers to convince them to buy things they don't want or need, or at least to cause them to make a choice based on brand identity rather than a rational evaluation of the value provided. This is bad.

What you're talking abut is something else entirely. If I'm watching something on Hulu, and the show stops to show me an ad for a Marvel movie coming out in a couple months, that's intrusive. If I deliberately go to YouTube to watch the trailer, that's a free choice. They're such completely different experiences from the user's point of view that it's a misnomer to refer to both as "advertising".

Likewise, my parents have solicited mailers from local groceries because they want to know what vegetables are in this week. There are all sorts of websites and other mechanisms for letting people know about events and opportunities going on in their area. Me sitting down to watch some sports or something and getting bombarded by ads (by Arby's, not a "local farm") is not the same situation.

If you want a bright line, imagine a world with no profit motive. Would we still have movie trailers and fliers to let you know about local farm produce? I think so. Would there still be television advertisements and lies about VPN services on YouTube videos? Obviously not.

For sure, you can keep channels open indefinitely. It won't be like dollars separated from gold though, it's still the same exact Bitcoin and the fund gets allocated at the opening of the channel.
Hell, even if you happen to figure out the how, the prices some of those people want is just ridiculous.
If you walked into a car dealership and saw a price tag of $100 on a car that normally sells for $250,000, would you also lose faith in the dealership when they return your $100 and tell you the car was not meant to be priced at $100?

If anything, the example should boost your confidence in the marketplace. Marketplaces exist to provide a fair experience to both the buyer and the seller. Not just the buyer.

> Good luck googling a scribble.

Reverse image search? Google in fact provides just such a service. Realistically though, this is how you google a laundry symbol:

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=laundry+symbols&t=ffsb&ia=web

You seem quite upset about this subject, but I'm not really seeing what's got you up in arms. These symbols have been used for ages now. Check any laundry garment you own. Having them included in Unicode (rather than forcing the use of some specialized font) isn't going to make them suddenly show up more places in physical print (and, conversely, keeping them out of Unicode will not make them go away). On the other hand, if you're encountering them digitally (as Unicode), you can just copy/paste the glyph to search for it. It's literally implemented as text at that point.

> Words can be looked up in a dictionary

Why on earth is is acceptable to pull a dictionary off the shelf and page through it (or load up dictionary software, etc.), but not okay to consult a laundry reference (digital or otherwise; if digital, almost certainly found through Google)?

You can't mint more bitcoins on the lightning network. There's a 1:1 relation between what's on the lightning network and what's on the blockchain. This is as opposed to fiat (zero relation, currency units can be generated at will), or gold standard in practice (the central bank only having enough gold for a fraction of the notes issued to be redeemed).

What I really enjoy about typescript is that the things I do frequently in java code require like a tenth of the effort to make.

Wrapping data into structure objects is pleasent in typescript, so I do it more. Same with handling missing entries. I don't need to wrap each indirection in yet another if statement to check for null; in typescript I can do the whole check at once and worry about what to do if I cant find the data using ??

When I'm working on the java code now, I'm mostly saying "this would be so much simpler to do in typescript"

I basically agree with "...fewer concerns about programs to monitor public content on the Internet, than programs that seek to access, monitor, and store content that people intended to be privately communicated to other people. "

a few caveats though

Scraping public data to see if some person / group / whatever is doing something the week of 4-20 is one thing, it's another to scrape the data and hold it for years or forever.

How long should something be held on to after a poster has deleted it?

I think transparency about data retention is very important - as this data can also become a tool used by others outside the scope of the original intention / need.

What is private and what is thought to be private by the majority of Americans today?

Most on HN may see differently and have a better understanding - but aside from the obvious "it's in the cloud is not your data, your data is their product to sell.. only self hosted, encrypted, one-time pad notes shared in person with no electronics around to listen in on is private" - sure..

But even beyond what many around this forum may think is common sense - I can think of many things where lines are blurred not just by ignorance but by design, and lack of awareness -

a fbook pm / chat - is that private? what if I have posts set to friends only - and someone uses a cambridge alanytica type thing where friends who do something exposes what I thought of as private to third party scrapers?
Is that scraping illegal if scraping public posts is? What about browser extensions?

My private friends only photos - are they being used to train AI for fbook, clearview? are they being shared by some poll software a friend is using?

an invite only group, is that data private? does text in a description create a type of protection? What about data that is hacked and published - it's become public data - how about an ex lover who publishes what was thought to be private DMs?

I'm sure there are many more situations in which people think they are doing things privately that others could finger a reason why it's not.

stories? disappearing snaps?

If fbook keeps a log of things you've typed but then backspaced over - is that data public? is it yours? How many people think that data even exists?

So in general I kind of agree - but I think we should include things people assume are private as off limits without warrants, while specifying what data is probed, what the retention is, and what the scope of sharing could be.
