Put it this way - smoke is clearly bad for you and proven to cause cancer. I believe what I eat is absorbed by my body and can affect it, like medicine affects my body when absorbed. Therefore I think it’s fairly likely that eating a lot of food infused with smoke and carcinogens is a strong risk. It would be quite odd if it turned out smoke-food had absolutely 0% effect on your body, and especially making it a routine piece of food you eat would be worse than a “once in a while” thing.

So that’s my point - if you think smoke is bad for your lungs, it’s probably bad for your colon too!

I was on a condo board. “Structual problems” in any report is a major red flag.

Most buildings like this hire a management company to deal talk with the engineers and beside the report let the building know what it happening.

a resident in the article says they took a 15 million dolllar assessment for repairs. So it’s not like it was being ignored.

Also I’m wondering how the building insurers were handled.

We had to replace a beam after extensive water damage in our 35 unit building. The units above were evacuated. Nothing collapsed but between the mold and water damage it was a nightmare.

The building that collapsed had an twin. Supposedly better maintained but it will be interesting to see what’s going on with it.

The perspective you are offering seems to be an extreme one as well. The idea that the 'misery' inflicted on society is caused by financial manipulation by governments seems out there.

I'm guessing the laws and cultural norms around how you acquire your money (monopoly, disclosure, insider trading, kickbacks) or pay tax (or game the system to avoid it) have much more to do with inequities in society, and that financial manipulation is far more rampant in the private sector than the public. The rabid anti-government messaging is not one I can relate to.

A “prevention and control” plan, prepared in January 2020, included training medical staff, preparing medical and quarantine facilities, and informing the public (including tourism workers) about symptoms and precautions. So, when the first three reported cases were confirmed on March 11, arrangements were in place to trace and isolate contacts, mobilise medical students for nationwide door-to-door surveys to identify vulnerable people and check for symptoms, and roll out a testing programme.

Because you need a lot of work to make command-line session to be as good as CLI. Especially my CLI which I have customized just the way I like.

To take fdisk for example: I hate it and try to avoid it as much as possible. For example, after fdisk session, I have no record of the commands I executed in my history file. Copying the command to put into wiki is pretty hard. And I cannot type $((128 * 1024 * 1024)) in place of the argument. And if I want to execute the same sequence of operations multiple times on a different disks, there is no way to do so.

If you want to make a complex command more discoverable, start from a shell completion rule, or a good manual. Don’t bother with interactive session unless you are sure you can make it better than an existing shell.

It cannot be overstated enough that in the U.S. we seem to be absolving ourselves of personal responsibility to our great detriment. Many in the news media glorify victimhood, and our politicians are now often busy enshrining victimhood into law.

It is sad that people are so hopeless and violent that they could perform such heinous acts as bullying and suicide. I believe teaching people about personal responibility and the value of taking responsibility for everything possible in one's life, including others, could negate much tragedy.
IMHO apps that use your camera when you least expect it aren't legit. Don't allow big tech to kill you death-by-a-thousand-cuts style.

>If I were writing a report on a piece of software for my boss and I found unsanitized inputs to an SQL database, I wouldn't highlight that any more than anything else I found as he would know that was severe.

Sure, but as software people we don't have a licensing body that will revoke our license to practice for such an omission. The firm and the author are likely required by their license to operate to make such call outs.

*edit: Also I would add that an engineering firm that believed the building was in imminent danger would not go forward with a project without calling that out and pricing it. They wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole because they would be on the hook if the building failed.
Your premise:

> If thousands of daily reports warn of damage that must be fixed immediately and most are of no consequences (obviously)

is correct, but your conclusion:

> then the problem is that the reports don't accurately reflect the severity of the damage and the consequences of ignoring it.

does not follow. To put this in probabilistic terms, you need to consider the expected value of the consequences, not just the probability.

Here one of the terms in that equation is the negative cost of killing 150 people. That cost is so high that even a fractional percent chance of building collapse means that the recommendation to fix immediately is credible, correct, and does accurately reflect the consequences of ignoring it.
Yeah that is my take as well, and I'm rather perplexed at what the author would like server-side rendering to output given they don't like PNG and SVG either. HTML and CSS weren't designed with math in mind, and while you can force them to do the job (like KaTeX), the result is sub-optimal. It looks fine, but it requires you to transmit orders of magnitude more data, which isn't very suitable to accessibility software (well the HTML/CSS part that is - it also includes a MathML representation which is more screen-reader friendly).

I definitely agree that is crummy for pages to display the markup first, then swap it out with rendered content later. Does anyone know why common libraries do it this way? Web development isn't my strong point, but I thought it was pretty easy to make the browser run some javascript before it renders the page.
Why not use hashing with locality for similarity? That is if the two samples above "hashed" to a similar value it might be helpful to find similar code.

Hashing was created to prevent collisions and ensure small changes have big differences in result. The first requirement makes sense here, but not sure how the second helps.
If you don’t know the facts of the case, as you admit, how can you judge whether his language is hyperbole or not?
The judge has no say. The smart contract is collateralized ahead of time. Both parties lock sufficient value in the contract to make sure that the payment can be made good. After the value is locked in the contract, there's nothing any fiat judge on Earth can do to reverse the smart contract, short of shutting down the entire blockchain.

I agree that you have to trust the software underlying the contract. But it's highly likely that you'll use an open standard that's battle tested across time. Typically it's much easier to develop trust in software than it is institutions. Every day you trust your life, privacy and money to open software standards across a wide variety of contexts.

Well, that’s a pretty interesting connection. If you look here, besides one or two states, every state is much much larger than it was 70, 60, 50, 40, 30, and 20 years ago. So, it’s not shocking or absurd to imagine state populations continuing an upward trend and therefore, more people, and therefore, without anyone passing union busting or other anti-union laws and regulations, you would expect union membership in most sectors to grow and have plenty of data to back it up. This isn’t like Mary Kay or Noni Juice or whatever where you have to sell someone on the promise very hard or demand some upfront investment to pay the current membership.

Yeah while I’m not a structural engineer either but as a lay person, “major structural damage” sounds highly alarming and damage increasing at an “exponential rate” sounds like a very urgent matter.

If building managers don’t take rapid action to further assess and monitor the conditions after being told that, then it sounds like willful negligence.

And if this is not the case, then I am seriously questioning how safe buildings actually are.

Btw, what happened with that brand new bridge in Florida that collapsed and killed people a couple years ago. Were there any actual consequences to those responsible?

The hash comparison can still be susceptible to timing attacks. Here's a historical example that affected Java: https://codahale.com/a-lesson-in-timing-attacks/

I was really hoping this post would include a demonstration of type-level safety against such attacks given the mention in the intro. It's not obvious to me how the demo would be extended to cover such timing leaks. I suspect that even with type-level safety, you're still at the mercy of the optimizer and language runtime to maintain those security properties. Can you specify constant time codegen or other constraints with GHC?
Since this is the HN crowd, I'll explain it this way: if you assume your brain is a biological machine, what if you could decipher its firmware and hack into it? What if you could remotely exploit it and take over its sensory inputs? It's hard to say if a contact is "conscious" or not because "they" seem to have the power to exploit and control it, to communicate by sending symbolic language and imagery.

Contact is difficult to explain to this crowd; when I turn the tables and imagine someone explaining their experience to me, it would sound like something indistinguishable from magic. Something so unbelievable that you would immediately discount it and look for alternate explanations, or question the person's sanity.
That’s perhaps a US specific thing.
