I assume while we're on the topic that the guarantee has been written into a formal legal document, witnessed by a recognised party, that is enforceable in court, and which guarantees the terms in perpetuity?
Useful, and a handy way to support MDN. I like it.
1. The USA is subject and restrained by laws. Iran, China, Cuba, North Korea, Russia, Europe, Africa, South America gets to do whatever they want. The concept of laws date back to Hammurabi, the start of civilization itself. The purpose of laws is to limit the violence, not create it. The feral and primitive world see things like a jet plane or a locomotive and it blows their mind, and now they think they're above the laws, that they can do anything. The USA made those nice things because of good basics, things like self-evidence, inalienable rights, pluralism, and most of all, willing to walk away. Everyone else has mob rule and bullying. Stubborn animals. Stay away from them. Don't let them come here. Don't deal with animals.

2. The USA invented nuclear technology. They're theirs, along with everything else in modernity. Give them back. Sounds bad, huh? Well, that's how the rest of the world treats their stuff. Too bad they only have places no one wants to go, and willing to do things no one else wants to do like live in big cloud of poisoned garbage.

3. The USA wants to demilitarize. Not willing, or do it in part of some elaborate century long delusional childish trick to be a giant jerk, telling everyone else what to do. First chance they get the USA is packing up, going home and living quiet happy lives where they don't bother anyone else and make things even nicer. Anyone else willing to do that?

4. If you are American, especially a white American male, your only place in the world is travelling to be some hostage to some other group of barbaric animals for some rich jerk at home. Those rich jerks more and more are betraying their own people, turning coward and traitor while their offshore partners take a giant genetic dump in my lungs. Pretty soon, the USA is not going to do it, I'M GOING TO DO IT. And it's going to be 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 times worst than if you just worked with the nice people who are there already.

It's sad the old days of the internet are long gone. It was the one time in history where anybody could say anything they wanted. Show anything they wanted (more or less). It's also concerning to see how people with power enable control over people whom they don't consider "vetted." Makes me thing of the Roman Republic and how only the nobles can participate while the plebs wallow in pity alone.

Nschloe/betterbib: Update BibTeX files with info from online resources
Well I have a related question, maybe someone here has an answer. How can a paralyzed person hang up the phone / end a call? They can initiate a call using voice, but no way to hang up.

So now, either the other end has to hang up. Or there is a long timeout, like 10 minutes or something.
Burned myself many, many times, not realizing that a bug in my code had resulted in way too much power going through something or the other, and then going to touch that something. Got myself an RF burn that way once, too.
No, as pointed out by the GP, there are a lot of "homeless" people who are living out of their car / crashing on a friend's sofa / etc. While these people are technically homeless, I wouldn't say the general public as a skewed view of homelessness – it's just when people say homeless they're not usually talking about people crashing on a friend's sofa. People in tents almost by definition are not the kind of homeless that will crash on a sofa / live out of a car. And are generally the type of homeless that are panhandling, which is of course the most visible group.

It's similar to how there is a disconnect in how people talk about "mass shootings" and what the public think that means. The public thinks of a mass shooting as what the FBI calls an "active shooter" event, where someone is just opening fire on random people, while in stats and things it's just any shooting where 3+ people get shot, which can include gangland-style violence. People aren't "confused", we're just using two different definitions.

My point is of course not that the transient homeless don't need help or anything like that. It's just strange to bring them into it when presumably they are not a large percentage of the "habitually living in tents" homeless, which should of course be handled differently.

FWIW Casey Newton posted a writeup- they ran trials for a couple years and the response was polarized (some loved it, some hated it) and they couldn’t find any clear indicator that it was healthier for people.
I read a book, "Galileo's Daughter" that was not strictly about the heliocentrism affair, but gave enough of the details, plus what I thought was good insight into the surrounding social and political issues. One interesting political issue is that the Church hierarchy was facing accusations from lower level clergy, of being "soft on heresy" in the aftermath of the Reformation. Some people saw the Galileo affair as a test of whether the Church was willing to assert its authority or not. Also, Galileo had two trials, that were conducted under two different Popes. And some of the issues were clouded by the fact that it was actually hard to communicate between A and B in Italy. Apparently many of the letters back and forth were held up because they would not carry mail through towns that were under quarantine when a plague came through.

The text of Bellarmine's letter to Galileo is worth reading.

Note that I'm not defending the Church with my comments, but only documenting what I think was the technical difference between the Galileo and Bruno cases.

I'll repeat what I said last time I commented on this - I read both stories and I thought Wellman had a crisper murder mystery. Faulkner's was well written but wasn't as satisfying. Wellman's story starred Watson and Holmes which probably helped too.

I do love Faulkner's rant though. So affronted!

He has a collection of mystery shorts based around an attorney Gavin Stevens who shows up in some of his other novels. I preferred a couple of others, but who knows how these things are decided.

I had a similar experience in the US with a large private healthcare provider at a large regional hospital. They did some quick health checks but then quickly left the baby with my wife and I for skin-to-skin time. This was planned ahead of time and encouraged by the nurses and doctors.

I’m not sure if it’s become commonplace across the country but our care was impeccable and the nurses and doctors were happy to recommend and support as natural a birth as possible.

Is this subtle age discrimination?
This is not a pitch for Udacity’s scholarship promotion, https://www.udacity.com/scholarships/aws-machine-learning-scholarship-program

Here goes one of their questions in the application form:
-------------------------------
Q) What is your age?
*Please note: this scholarship opportunity is only available to applicants 18 years of age or older.

[ ] 18-24
[ ] 25-34
[ ] 35-44
[ ] 45-54
[ ] 55-64
[ ] 65 and older

-------------------------------
The above question with graduated age categories allows the
evaluator to isolate age range of applicants.
It opens the door to potential discrimination, for example ageism.

Why are these age categories relevant to this scholar program when stated minimum age is 18 years old (See asterisk accompanying the question above)?

Should Udacity asked if applicant is 18 or older, instead of having applicant choose an age category so as to avoid, at the very least, appearance of age discrimination?

In other areas, e.g. in job applications, I noticed similar tactics of asking for a job applicant's year of education graduation as a possible means to infer age of application.

Do you think these are avenues for subtle discrimination?
What does our US laws allow in these area?

Thank you for your comments.

That act is all backwards. The problem isn’t that the government can acquire data they oughtn’t have access to. The problem is that anyone can acquire this data.

The bill needs to be turned around. Ban the sale of this data. Preferably also ban the possession and use of this data.

A checklist for evaluating your supply chain security
That's the thing. I don't see how selling an NFT alone is functionally any different than selling a copy of the SHA3 of a digital artifact: something anyone can do.

To me, it's reducible to the equivalent of a seller saying "I will sell you the answer to 1 + 2." That seems inherently worthless.

It's only worthwhile if rich idiots are trading these mathematical answers around like baseball cards. But then, I don't see how they can "own" them if they or anyone can just make infinite copies of them when/if they ever have access to the "private key" material.

Ownership of the underlying digital asset doesn't make sense either. Again, there don't seem to be obvious legal or technical protections to stop anyone from making copies.
I feel like Industrial Automation is cheating, especially if you're working with a lot of tradesmen/clients who refuse to follow safety procedures.

We were commissioning a rather large food processing facility and had already verified that our PLC->Motor Starter wiring was all valid, but at some point the client decided they're ready to run a production line without testing the Motor Starter -> Motor wiring (bump testing the motors).

Normally you'd have people away from the equipment, proper lockout, people with radios verifying operation, all that jazz, but the client decided to go around us and just start turning things on.

Well when they went to turn on motor in section A, a drag in section B started due to some mistakes by the electricians. Section B's motor just happened to be straddled by a welder who was standing over it to do some work on an upper walkway when the thing fired up beneath him. Understandably he was pissed.

I've never had an injury on the job (thank god) in the 9 years I've been doing this, but there's been a handful of close calls. 100% of the time its because people skip safety procedures and think it'll be fine.

The client never did learn their lesson I'm guessing. We went home for the weekend, "Days since last work stopping injury" was reset when we returned Monday. Not sure what happened there.
Anything that singles out a single race for “education” or instruction is prejudice and wrong.
Could the owner of the NFT own the copyright to the video? If so, buying the NFT would provide the right to sue people who are violating that copyright, right?
Nioxin Anti-Hair Loss – Anti-Hair Loss Serum – Review
My style is similar about tiny interfaces: My usual style in Java is an interface with a single method and a nested POJO (struct) called Result. Then, I have a single implementation in production, and another implementation for testing (mocking in 2010s forward). Some of my longer lived projects might have 100s of these after a few years.

Please enjoy this silly, but illustrative example!

public interface HerdingCatsService {

/*public static*/ final class Result {

Ask HN: Markdown – Arguments for and Against
I neither like or dislike markdown. I am indifferent.

However, it seems universally loved by developers. Any app missing markdown support - from note-taking, blogging, documentation, wiki, or a CMS - is dismissed by developers. (Or its inclusion is requested.)

Questions:

1. Why do you like markdown so much?

2. If you dislike markdown, what are your reasons?

3. Have you ever had non-technical users successfully adopt markdown in their workflow or in the tools they use?

My anecdotal experience with non-technical users: I have seen non-technical users forced to use it because developers insist on it. I have never seen non-technical users enjoy using it - tolerate it as most.
Predicting answers to product questions using similar products
From the small bit I know about non-medical graduate admissions, the rigor of the program is a factor in graduate admissions but it only matters when comparing a candidate with good grades from a weak program and a candidate with equally good grades from a strong program. Again, it's all about the student and how well they can prove they learned the material, not about prestige.

If you really want a more in-depth answer to your question, go to https://academia.stackexchange.com/ and see what practicing academics say; this sort of question has surely been asked and answered many times. (I'd dig up some links for you but, not to be unkind, the very first thing you'd better get used to if you hope to reach graduate school is finding stuff out on your own given some hints.)
No not really. If you put them in a list of features and compare them it seems pretty close, they have most of the same stuff. But if you actually learn and use both the android one is much worse.
What a great game. A modern version that kept the simple and pvp nature of the original game would be cool.
We had both our kids at a birth center in the US (actually both born in the same room three years apart) and it was a great experience. There are certainly cases where you can’t but I really liked not being in an overly medical setting. Also (as a new exhausted Dad) taking that first nap in the same bed your baby was just born in and your wife is beside you wide awake… magic. Then about 6-8 hours later we are back home for when my wife was ready to crash as the hormones wear off.
Funny that you say that, because in my country there is also somewhat of a culture of praising rogues and cheaters, and I had a professor who would say (when talking about cheating by copying in exams, I think) that he spent some years in America, and there no one would ever do such things, because there was a honor system and no one would ever think about do it such a thing.

Not that I ever believed him much about that (I do think he believed what he said...).

To Protect Against Weaponized Drones, We Must Understand Their Key Strengths
I agree, as much as I like LaTeX, and what it produces, it is dated. It's missing modern features. Lots of stuff is clunky. The content part should be declarative programming. It should be functional underneath the hood. I think ggplot2 is maybe an example of declarative visualization creation. You just declare what is in the document, very clear structure. Perhaps there is some styling/rendering component you can tweak. Seems like a job for Haskell. Needs like a simple DSL in a sense though.

At least you can use Pandoc to turn old LaTeX documents into html/etc. I kind of like using tex flavoured markdown and just generating html with pandoc.
Another one is machinery where you have to "enter" the machine to do maintenance. Think industrial ovens.

You're supposed to turn off the circuit breaker and lock it with your own personal lock that only you have the key to. That way no one can turn it on even if they wanted to.

I've heard no one, under any circumstances is allowed to take the lock off. If the person leaves after their shift and forgets to take it off for example, they have to come back in the middle of the night so to speak and take it off.
This reminded me that I wanted to donate to MDN. And I just went on a quick journey through the MDN web site to find how and where you can do that. It's not clear to me at all how or even if you can donate to MDN.

Am I missing something?

Elsewhere in this thread is a link to a separate organization called "OpenWebDocs," which appears to be an outside consortium that contributes to MDN. So perhaps donating to them is approximately the same in that you're donating to a group who will then contribute time writing content.

Edit: Perhaps MDN is not a stand-along thing, and the way you help fund MDN directly is by donating to Mozilla? Can anyone clarify the relationship of these various parties?
This is an exciting release! Look forward to seeing how this project takes off.
I like it, but also recoil at the thought of using it. And I think that's a "professional programmer's instinct" talking, saying that I shouldn't settle for this one large dependency that boasts about being the future and has made room for so many little batteries-included features, I should be a big boy and use the most powerful library for every task...in JavaScript, a language that was, mind, designed in a few days and now has an ecosystem built on untrusted third-parties all depending on each other - a state of affairs that has already been demonstrated to fail.

If I were primarily an Excel user, then maybe it would work for me. Working with figures, converting between common units, generating reports and forms, and doing it in a form that acknowledges programming other than "ALGOL derivative"...There is a known niche. Maybe the author knows the niche better than I. There are good ideas here, ideas I want to steal. That is enough to recommend giving it a further look.
I just had a quick try of Talon on Windows, using wav2letter (I don't have Dragon) and the recommended scripts[0]. It... doesn't work well for me at all.

I was able to get a couple of simple commands to work in Chrome, sometimes, such as "reload" and "show history". In Visual Studio code, it just spouted a bunch of errors in the console [1], and in JetBrains Rider all it would do it type gobbledygook, like a cat had walked on the keyboard or something. Pretty dissapointing :(

The logs also fill up with "WARNING actions: skipped because they have no matching declaration: (user.select_next_token)".

It was a bit confusing to use too (apart from not really working, I mean!), as it wasn't clear if I had to use some kind of command to enable voice commands, or if it was litening all the time. Eventually I figured out that it seems to be the latter, but still, it's not clear what commands it has heard and understood - I found myself speaking and nothing was happening, and I had no idea what it had understood. Similarly, I'd say something like "close tab", and it would type some nonsense like "aa&" into the current file - again, no idea what command it was actually trying to use.

That has not been my experience, do you have any studies that quantify that? From my perspective, the entire concept of legal rights and due process is what is actually the new thing, considering the total span of history anyway. These were not things that anybody had 1000 years ago, and even now some political entities still don't really have it or consider it valid (unfortunately).
Reminds me of TempleOS. Hopefully the creater won't suffer a similar fate
Nah, the people who deny the severity of covid will do the same, because of their masters who downplay it for political purposes and for personal inconvenience. You can see it play out right now in a certain part of the political spectrum. "Covid is just a flu, don't need to risk a vaccine from it, but also it's a very dangerous virus released by Chyna".
No, they don’t need to be. They can be. Go wasn’t designed as a functional language but to be fast to compile, fast to execute, zero dependency binary and simple syntax. It achieved that by a mile.

I look at it differently (and I admit I could be wrong). I don't view these conglomerates as weapons but rather as baggage holding us back. I think by freeing ourselves from them we'll have a better chance at dominating competing nations. While they do have a lot of resources, it's not often good comes from it. They stifle innovation and lack imagination.
The lab leak is right, does this mean the final nail in the coffin of so-called “journalism” and media? I’ve really had it with people in this country saying someone is wrong, only because of their political party.
Out of curiosity. Do tax authorities tap into your travel/passport activities to determine where you are spending your time? Could you just have a local address listed as your residence?

I know maybe bordering a slippery slope towards tax fraud or something, but theoretically, I'm curious how clued in the tax authorities are to where you actually reside vs where you say you reside.
