Check notes: "notify students that the bankruptcy dischargeability provision language is not accurate"

Just to be clear this isn't a "mistake" this is fraud.
I really like this, a few comments

Why not have the homepage be the checklist? Seems odd to have a page that says click here to see the checklist

Can you send this to the one guy on our Zoom calls who logs in 3 minutes after meeting starts, futzes around with camera/microphone/sound for 5 minutes and then 8 minutes into the call announces he’s online and wants to be filled in on what he missed?

From video production the one takeaway I have is key light vs backlight, webcams like key light and webcams struggle with back light
The "Require Passcode" feature actually saved my data (and possibly my life) when I got robbed at gunpoint. The robber turned on my iPhone and was able to unlock it, so he assumed there was no PIN. He then turned off the phone to disable tracking (and inadvertently locked the phone, protecting my data and rendering the phone useless to pawn shops).
Gargling and snorting mouthwash until this is ready.

> and were surprised to find that just one of the five multiple-guess questions they were asked after entering their address, Social Security Number and date of birth had anything to do with information only the credit bureau might know.

And a lot more than the credit bureau know those two pieces of information.

Honestly, the US really needs a government run public key ID service. The government in providing passports and drivers’ licenses is already doing identity verification. If along with your passport they would allow you to register a public key that people could use to verify your identity, it would be a huge help.
*Most ride-hailing companies that needed a narrative ahead of their IPO for why they had a defensible long term moat and leaned heavily on 'self driving' as their answer to that are now getting pressure from investors on why they keep sinking more money into a problem it doesn't seem they'll ever be able to solve
The answer is, of course, regulation. To fix this will require more regulation. Contact your Congressional representatives. [1] The CFPB can enforce upgraded financial services policy in this regard once the legislation is enacted. Complaining to them today about this specific security failing is also likely helpful [2].

Freezes and thaws are free. Your credit report, and any scoring mechanisms (FICO), should be available to consumers at any time free of charge. Credit monitoring products should be outlawed. Failures to safeguard citizen data (Equifax) or to promptly remove inaccurate data should incur steep financial penalties.

I still do not get your initial point. You argue that firing would be justifiable in industry, e.g. non-academics, yet we don't hear Google or Facebook [1] scientists getting fired for controversially unethical experiments with poor publicity. The research they did was what they were funded by the government to do. So no, your standards for employment doesn't exist anywhere, industry or academia.

And to be more precise, ethics IS a core part of research. There's an entire subfield dedicated to it in academic labs. Graduate research is very specialized, and researchers do not have the intuition for a difficult topic outside of their expertise. Then there are IRBs, who are most qualified, and yet we see it remains a problem for computing ethics because it's a completely different environment.

We can continue to blame this lab, fine. I agree, huge ethical blunder. But don't forget that this passed IRB, a responsibility of the university, and several phases of anonymous peer review for a major security conference. The security conference that most definitely has reviewers from industry. Was there a lapse of judgement on ALL the scientists and engineers, all with immense experience in their respective fields, who touched this paper and participated through the entire process? Do you seriously believe that? Should they all be fired? Is it really hard to believe that computing ethics is actually not as clear, communicated, and well understood to MANY? There are so many caveats, and not much policies of conduct exist for the breadth of situations.

Google: Look, you can buy a device with less storage, and store all your MP3s in the cloud!

Me: This sounds terrible… but ok, let’s give it a go.

Google: Now that you have all your music in the cloud, wouldn’t it be nice if you paid us monthly for access to a lot more music?

Me: No.

Google: I see you switched to another app while watching a YouTube video. If you paid us extra, you could keep playing that in the background!

Me: First, why would I ever want that? It’s bad enough YouTube now keeps playing videos in a little thumbnail when I try to exit them. Second, why are you charging a monthly fee for a feature that ought to just come with your app?

Google: Hey, how about a free trial of our subscription service?

Me: No.

Google: Hey, how about we ask you every day if you want a free trial to our subscription service?

Me: Still no.

Google: Ok, I tell you what. How about we shut down Google Play Music, literally the only built in MP3 player, and then if you want to keep listening to music on your phone, you pay us monthly?

Me: Buys an iPhone.
FWIW my aged dad struggled to remove shrink wrap. He also complains of hotel beds being made too well. I agree with him.
IANAL so maybe this is hyperbolic but it smells like extortion to me.
I have to agree. Not just showers, but any type of personal cleansing. I've gotten in the habit of waiting until well after my wife is awake and out of bed before I shave and brush my teeth, and it's perfectly fine.
This SARS-CoV-2 protease inhibitor is the latest scientific overlap of COVID and HIV -- I am so hopeful that cross pollination will (continue to) lead to breakthroughs for both diseases.
That's... unusual.

I use Homebrew constantly and have never seen such a thing in my life, in any version of macOS/OSX over the past several years. Not in building from source, not in casks.

Like another commenter the only security change I have is "Allow apps downloaded from" set to "App store and identified developers" -- which I'd assume virtually every Mac user on HN has also set.

Perhaps you have some kind of unusual configuration? Or there's some very specific subcategory of Homebrew packages that encounter this problem?
Silly generalization, please avoid.
Maybe it's me, but I don't see the benefits of async functions that much. The one big advantage vs. threads is that you don't have to worry about locks if everything is single-threaded, but if you have multiple levels of async functions then you still have to worry about variables changing between them.

Another advantage would be that it's much cheaper to keep a million callbacks in memory than a million thread stacks, which is true, but unless your job is writing a load balancer or DB engine, few people need that much concurrency. I've seen production services that take several concurrent requests on average.

I feel that old-fashioned thread pools can be a more straightforward and manageable solution for most use cases.
The job of a CEO would need AGI because it's the type of job that requires understanding of human social dynamics, market context, regulatory context, etc. Such cross domain multi faceted expertise is the type of thing that needs general and broad intelligence to do effectively.

Hire people, fire people, pitch investors, manage direct reports across multiple business lines, understand what's going on in the world and market, set a product vision/direction, shape the culture of the org, etc etc. That's AGI territory.
"... out of politeness."

... and the legal stipulation that they generally aren't allowed to.
In particular, such legislation would have to pass the House. Each representative in the House can decide: "Do I want to be one of 435 representatives, and represent a significant number of people, or do I want to be one of some larger number of representatives, and have correspondingly less power, both in DC and at home?" Given that calculus, I'd be surprised if the House passed any such thing.

Note that the set of thermometers and temperatures that make it into the GHCN comprise repeated convenience samples. The techniques used to smear individual observations over vast swathes of territory tend to leave much to be desired.

Here's an animation[1] I made way back when I thought maybe thinking scientifically about how to evaluate the existing climate record for the recent past was acceptable.

I have not touched the GHCN recently nor have I updated the analyses, but it did not take much time to produce the videos many years ago. Anyone curious should be able to repeat the same thing of plotting coordinates of temperature stations with fresh data with no trouble.

So, for the original question, the answer is we do not know. However, data are subject to selection bias and that affects what kind of inferences you can make.

But do compare the distribution of observation sources in the 60s to periods before and after.

For me, the more important factor is randomness and immediacy. Randomness because channel surfing will bring me to a TV show I likely do not know the name of, and I will be shown a scene at a particular timestamp. So I can start watching without the lengthy exposition that's common in the first few episodes of shows.

Immediacy because there is no load time when switching channels, so it's frictionless to jump from sports, to weather, to syndicated TV sitcom. On streaming platforms, there is no such mechanism. Switching to a new show means I start from scratch. I could manually select a random episode and fast forward to a random timestamp, but that would be defeating the purpose.
I live about four hours due south of you and loved visiting Toronto as a kid. I had seen similar commentary recently about the real-estate market and thought folks were exaggerating. From what I could see, they weren't. Just now I was going to make a joke about the long game being in Nunavut but checked my work first and, uhh, nope. That's some crazy shit. $600k for a (nice) 5br on a half acre in the tundra? No thanks.

I know we look funny from up there but we do love y'all. My sister-in-law is from Guelph and lives in Ohio, we just accidentally bought matching F150's. So feel free to come down any time. The politics suck but the people are fine.

"clean-living adults"

A phrase I was totally unfamiliar with, and not really sure of what it means in context. Non recreational drug users? Non-McDonalds eaters? Only eats nonGMO, organic foods? Bathes regularly?
I'm confused: you say only the police should do something about it, so do you mean that society shouldn't try to prevent bullying, or that the police should run the schools?

the problem we were trying to solve included loading thousands of full human genome sequences into an Apache Spark distributed array, which means, behind the scenes, there's a collection of Linux hosts each with a JVM and those JVMs are running Apache Spark code, which shuffles around subsections of the virtual array among Linux (and thus JVM) instances, as the mathematical operators operate on them.

For the genomic data of a single human, we would model our sequencing data as one of (if i remember how i did it) 5 values, for each position in the roughly 3 billion bases we tracked. So the representation of a genome was required roughly 3 billion instances of 3 bits each, but this wasn't how Apache Spark was written to calculate, you end up wasting 2 bits per byte in any semi fast packing scheme, but every byte is being shuttled around endlessly over the network.

We fiddled around with various representation schemes but were always forced into wasting bits that we had no fast means (via processor intrinsics) of moving around.

That's somewhat vague, but hopefully conveys the essence of the frustration.

It'd be nice if you mentioned why when you downvote. This really is 2 advertisers fighting over which one gets your search and where it goes - and both claim they are right and doing it for their users. Roku has made it pretty clear that they want to advertise to you but they could care less to make something that works and does more than spy on you and deliver ads. My next device won't be from Roku or Google.

Hang on, so the attacker doesn't even need to break into somebody's email account first, they can just guess the questions and put in their own email address?! This is insane.

Now that you mention it - they're almost replicating the dealer experience.

In the beginning Tesla's selling point was that they were not a dealer, you go to the showroom and there is no pressure because everyone pays the same price.

Except with their pricing monkey business, you're replicating the same high-pressure "buy now before the price goes up"... for everyone.

Aren't they over the hump? Can they get away from gym-membership stuff?

Combine that with the variability of other nonsense - when will I get my car/truck? surprise! square steering wheel! etc...

A true premium experience should treat people better, and ONLY inflict positive drama.

> Money is overrated. Truly new things rarely need an abundance of money. If that was so, billionaires would have a monopoly on inventing new things, and they don’t. Instead almost all breakthroughs are made by those who lack money, because they are forced to rely on their passion, persistence and ingenuity to figure out new ways. Being poor is an advantage in innovation.

Completely disagree. A lot of the great innovations actually came from people who were already wealthy enough that they could spend time contemplating instead of figuring out where their next meal was coming from.
Public transit is shared transport for the general public. It's not defined by how close it is to people, however last-mile logistics is a common reason for lack of usage. All of this is covered in my original comment.

Wow, this is neat when one has a Postgres instance running out there.

A portable alternative which I find very useful is to start a database in a container. I use ory/dockertest for that. I've written more about it here: https://gruchalski.com/posts/2021-04-24-on-software-testing-.... It's in the context of golang and launching the Ory platform for integration testing. Edit / added: could be relevant here for some. ory/dockertest launches containers for tests. It's super easy to do this in any technology.

Quite some details! Presumably this part of the testing is to see if large amounts of fat shouldn't be consumed along with the pill.
To a robot, all mathematical truths are tautologies, right?

Perhaps you could imagine reading that statement with both occurrences of "three" replaced with blanks. Do you think you could confidently fill them in without more than a moment's thought?
This is an excellent question. It is a very popular idea that there is some "tipping point", plus positive feedback loops, that are definitely going to make this problem worse, someday. That they are popularly imagined by non-scientists, and that the effects are always promised for the future rather than identified in the past, are cause for skepticism.

Judging by the fact that for the billion years after life has dominated, Earth climate has always stayed decidedly non-Martian and non-Venusian, the evidence is strong that negative feedback loops are more powerful than the positive ones that people may publicize. I would like to see more substantiation behind such assertions.
some fair arguments here... but this is exactly the same kind of vibe most people emitted when i went to CS grad school in the early 90s. everyone was like, 'oh msft is so evil. they suck.' and i just didn't understand. in reality msft put compute in front of everyone and created an insane amount of opportunity. this sounds like a 'get off my lawn' broad attitude and maybe a better approach is to be open to some of the innovation that is getting put down here.

I understand that and I happen to be one of those developers that has a customer that requires IE to be supported. So I was interested in the behavior of the site under IE. My experience testing the site in IE was different than that of another poster, so I thought I would document it. I apologize for causing you whatever consternation prompted you to react in this way, it certainly wasn't my intent and wasn't anticipated.
In the end this makes sense; an actual car company is much better positioned to actually profit from marginal improvements in self-driving (read: safety improvements) year over year, rather than wait for the windfall of FSD taxi service at some unknown point in the future.
correct its good for the principle to not make kneejerk decisions, and it gives them ammunition against kneejerk parents or a board.

ideally their local counsel knows better too.

all they have to do is do nothing. let the student represent whatever values the student wants in most circumstances.
It has always seemed ridiculous to me that schools should have any role whatsoever in the off-campus activities of their students (assuming that the behavior didn't occur on or with school property[such as a school website], while the student was under the supervision of school employees[such as a field trip] or had any involved with any school resources). Aside from being unconstitutional, our schools are struggling to perform their basic core role - education. They should be spending all their resources on figuring out how to educate students at school instead of trying to police their out-of-school behavior. That's what parents are for.

Keeping it empty would remove it from the housing pool, driving rents up.

I think the comment is saying that investors are using cheap loans to buy up properties and rent them out. This increase the supply of rentals and drives rent prices down.
