It is a peculiar clue. For context, the majority language in Haiti is Haitian Creole, a French-derived local dialect. About half of the population, typically those better educated, involved in business, or involved in government, also speak French. Spanish and English are extremely minor languages in comparison.

Spanish is spoken throughout Central America, including across the land border on the divided island in the wealthier Dominican Republic, and English is used by travelers and tourists. With a comparable economic disparity and ongoing immigration dispute, it would be analogous to an attack in Mexico by a group of unidentified individuals, some of them speaking English - the implication seems to be that the group is not native to Haiti.

(Note that I did some fact checking, but I have no special or particularly recent knowledge here; this is speculation based on historical demographics - I haven't paid attention to Caribbean politics much at all in the past decade).
Doesn’t improve my first impression of the writing.
However if you heat with heat pump you are getting more than 3 times more heat than electrical energy you used. So despite getting only 0.5 energy by turning gas into electriciy you are getting 3*0.5 = 1.5 of heating and you could go in reverse and get the cooling when you need it.

If you have a gas line to your home the most efficient way of heating would be to have co-generation gas turbine than makes heat and electricity and then use the electricity produced to power heat pump.

"Generalized adversarial networks, or GANs, are a conceptual advance that allow reinforcement learning problems to be solved automatically." -

This is a general problem with many security scanning tools, and when a security team is empowered to give deadlines to fix any issue they report, leads to much frustration and poor relations in teams.

Imagine if you had 3 days to fix the regex DoS issue shown there, screw your release freeze and your current sprint plans, and you have the real working environment in some companies.

I've also heard reports of people trying to claim bug bounties for similar reports, or security vendors that run automated tools that detect for issues of similar (lack of) value.

There are multiple types of semi-presidential systems in practice. Those where the Prime Minister is appointed by and accountable to the President (and not just by Parliament) are typically much closer to a pure presidential system in practice.

In France (source: I'm French) the President is typically extremely strong despite it being nominally a semi-presidential system, in some respects even stronger than his US counterpart. Also note that this depends a lot on practical details, like political customs — former President Nicolas Sarkozy famously publicly called his Prime Minister his "collaborator", for instance — and electoral timings. There was a reform in the early 00s to sync Presidential elections and Parliamentary elections, meaning that even though the Prime Minister is accountable to the Parliament, in practice the latter tends to be of the same majority as the President (whereas before, we had cases of Presidents and Primes being of opposing parties, which is known as 'cohabitation'), which gives him enormous power.
Well first risk analysis doesn't work like that. Second leaving ur kids unsupervised in a car is illegal in most states here. Hell in most states it's legal for me to break your car window if you do that to a freaking dog. so yea ur so wrong I'm pretty sure you're trolling us.

As soon as Reddit turns off old.reddit.com I will never return. Their now years old redesign is just horrible. It's bloated, information poor, and has totally ruined the site.
We basically run it in CI... and then allow it to fail without failing the build. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It seems like a lot of this has been designed for Node (backend) development, whilst ignoring the fact that NPM is probably used more heavily for front-end development at this point.

I don't think that the source I quoted was saying that the virus jumped directly from bats to humans. I believe they were attempting to track mutations from the closest currently known/sequenced genetic relative, which happened to be that bat virus.

I don't think that changes my point in bringing this up, that it is not a foregone conclusion that Wuhan was the location of the first human infections, that in fact there is some genetic evidence pointing in other directions.

> Asked if his ongoing research should quash speculation that the virus leaked from the Wuhan lab, Forster is circumspect. "It's not black and white. All I can say is it doesn't look to me as if Wuhan is the prime candidate, because A exists in other regions of China at that time at possibly a higher frequency."

Full disclosure: I've be made aware of papers pointing out that Forster's methodologies may be unreliable, that the gap between bat and human viruses are too large to say definitively which varient of the human virus is older. But I don't think this materially changes the fact that his paper casts a good bit of doubt on Wuhan being the location of the first human infections, showing that there may be evidence to the contrary in his collected and sequenced genetic samples. He admits that himself in the same article:

> "I would be a bit careful about pinpointing a place (of origin), because we don't have many samples from the early phase," he says. "But it seems to me we shouldn't restrict ourselves to Wuhan when looking for the origin." [0]

The source you quote jives with what I have read in other places, that there are still missing pieces to this puzzle.

I think it's very useful to consider the ways in which a drop in state capacity can benefit the common man, so I appreciate that perspective.

Still, I have trouble imagining a decline in economies of scale / specialization that large scale trade brings wouldn't have harmed the quality of life of the common man.
The "possibility" of violence which is known to never occur is an empty threat and will be ignored just as quickly.
Agreed. Ford has been making some moves over the past year or two that actually made me consider buying one (the Bronco, specifically). I didn’t end up buying one, but I’d never even thought about buying any Ford product in my life. I consider that impressive.

Planned Order Aims to Tilt the Job Market Toward Workers
If this data has value, and you are requiring your users to provide it, that makes your software transactional in its nature, and not FOSS.

If the data you are collecting is useful to law enforcement, for prosecuting an individual, you aren't anonymizing it enough.

The simple response to any law enforcement request should be simple, "We have no way of providing you with data identifiable to an individual."

FOSS has existed for decades without telemetry, it isn't needed to make good software, the convenience of it shouldn't come at the risk to your users, and should not represent a commercial benefit that is required from them to provide to you for use of your product.

It's simple, and the rest of these justifications is noise.
You are also confusing value and price.

Ecce Homo lasted 90 years and was important enough to the people responsible for it that they wanted to restore it. Those are clear signs of value.

You're right that the open-market price of Ecce Mono, were it ever to be cut out and sold, has gone up due to its global meme status. You're also right that the price of the Picasso could well go up due to notoriety.

Ask HN: Where to collab on building automative circuit/software mods?
I'm hoping to find an online community of devs/engineers that share work on hacking their car's OEM electronics across many vehicle brands.

Many small communities share aftermarket circuits (e.g. wranglerforums, tacomaworld, autohack, yodaTeq...), but I can't seem to find a good source for sharing work on building those circuits or sharing the source code.

Types of things I'd like to do:

- Adjust control software of various sensors in the car

- Put optional settings always-on/off (engine-shut-off-when-stopped, adaptive cruise, ECT power, all-wheel-power)

- Adjust the electronic transmission shift points

- Adjust the algorithm for shutting down cylinders
Or even just get t-mobile if you're based in the US, which has free roaming in many international locations
Are you serious? The far-right Capitol rioters killed at least one officer, injured at least 138 others, breached the chambers chanting "Hang Mike Pence" and had built gallows outside. Many were seriously armed.

I have zero doubt if they managed to get in the chambers before they were evacuated, congresspeople would have been killed. The government would not have just carried on like normal after that.

The right-wing downplaying these idiots as "tourists" or simple protestors is disgusting. It was an attempted coup of a democratic government.
I’d think branching out of SF is important. It’s kind of a bubble full of the types you aren’t looking for, everyone there migrated there for the big paychecks and probably still need one to cover the big rent.
The Taste Gap
The trouble you're having there is that there is no standard syntax for ANSI 89 outer joins at all. All outer joins were RDBMS-specific syntax. Indeed, if I remember right, left outer comma joins are *= for Oracle and =* for DB2 (or was it =+). MySQL has never supported any other syntax for outer joins, but it does support ANSI 89 (comma) inner joins.

The ANSI 89 syntax for inner joins is pretty ubiquitous, as it can be a little easier to write code generators that way.
What's the definition of a failed state?

I travel to Mexico somewhat frequently and although some things work differently then in the U.S by and large everything works. The power is on, the roads are decent, there are a very large number of fully stocked stores (including chains you would see in the U.S like Walmart and Home Depot).

Is it corruption and crime? Well by that definition many areas of the U.S are failed states. Or is it just politicians getting killed that makes a failed state?

I have long blocked ads on youtube because they are annoying, I finally installed SponsorBlock, which use crowd sourced info to skip the sponsored sections of the video.

Sure I could do that myself, but then I would see that there was an ad and mentally process it enough to jump over it.

With Sponsorblock I can focus on the video and forget there was a sponsor in the first place. I thought I would get to skip a few ads, but what it came down to was that I have a new peace of mind that I didn't have before. I didn't suspect this.

So my answer would be a variation of 6 where there is one place online where you can post ads and then I can come by and fill in what products I might be interested in and then I will be shown ads there for products related to this.
I think bloat really means two different things. One is the obvious "file size" issue, and as you are mentioning it's quite possible to write small sites even using heavy-weight frameworks.

But a lot of the complaints in this thread boil down to modern sites being slow to run on computers that are only a few years old. If modern frameworks are to blame for that, it's not because they're a hundred (or more) KB. It's because they require the end user to run way more Javascript in the browser and consume far more memory than a site with minimal Javascript requires to accomplish the same thing.

As a random example, Firefox's about:performance page says that the three YouTube tabs I have open are each consuming about 50 MB of my computer's memory. That's obscene. (None of the tabs are open on a video, so this is not the result of storing videos in RAM.)

Also, I did a Lighthouse analysis of the Reddit home page in Chrome (on Desktop, but targeting mobile). The page scores less than 20/100 on performance, and takes almost twenty seconds to become interactive!! The biggest problem Lighthouse sees with the page is not the file size, but the amount of Javascript being executed. There's ~25 seconds of "main thread work" being done in my test.
> May I ask why you want to know, and what you will do with this information?

Sure. The reason I asked was that I just want to get a feeling for who all you folks are. Also since I live in Horten it would have been the closest one I knew except people at work.

As for what I want to do with the information I guess it depended on the answer, but probably nothing.

If there was a place to meet HNers near home or work I'd probably visit it once a year or something (depending on how it turned out the first time).
I would say so. You attempted to use sarcasm in a community of people who dis-proportionally don't pick up on sarcasm, using a medium that notoriously doesn't transmit sarcasm well.
It's not a fad, it's based on JS.net and Actionscript (ES4) syntax that existed well before Ecma Script 5 existed. Microsoft has been iterating over Typescript for about 20 years.
Fast inverse square root isn't that ultra fancy. It just happens that the IEEE representation lines up the exponent to the left, allowing you to do the obvious multiply-the-exponent thing, but in integer mode, followed by a standard Newton-Raphson round. The only surprising part was that this was faster than calling the CPU's native floating point instructions.
Indeed. This was a completely new architecture, and as such, there was probably very little "prior art" to go on. Maybe there were similar functions written for other machines, but this one would pretty much guarantee dead astronauts if it weren't implemented properly.
David Graeber also wrote (in the same book):

>Apple Computers is a famous example: it was founded by (mostly Republi­can) computer engineers who broke from IBM in Silicon Valley in the 1980s, forming little democratic circles of twenty to forty people with their laptops in each other's garages.

That's an impressive amount of wrong to pack into one sentence! So much wrong, that I would not trust anything based on Graeber's word.
And the iron grip they need to maintain control on the trillions inbound means they regularly need to stomp on the source of a few 10’s of billions here and there. This is just a slightly larger, and significantly more externally visible version of what they do on the regular - and must - to keep control.

Author, since you “dearly recommend” a related blog post of yours, please link to that post.
A lot of the construction boom is probably attributable to the new found geographic freedom COVID gave, coupled with the low interest rates from the Fed's monetary policy. There was a sudden mismatch of locale supply and demand. Housing starts were also quite low over much of the last decade, definitely below the equilibration point for 2019-2013.

It'll be interesting to see how things play out. I think the shift of older millennials out of cities combined with the relatively smaller generation replacing them will likely cause a reversal of a lot of the urban price growth in the past decade in places like New York. Rents are already reflecting that, but sales prices have more hysteresis.
I have a 2 year old and have a hard time accepting motherhood still. I am so happy in a different way but also so unhappy in another way. However before I had kids, I was happy but also unhappy in a different way because I wanted to get marry and have kids and wish I had them earlier. The more choices and opportunities life gives you (especially now with “you can do everything!” mentality) sometimes the more depressed you get.
> When foreign leaders visit Canada, they aren't going to see the Queen, whereas they might if they visit the UK.

Though they would typically be hosted by the Queen's representative in Canada, the Governor General (as of yesterday, R.H. Mary Simon). The Queen would never directly exercise her head-of-state powers in Canada. However, the GG does have to make some controversial decisions about choosing governments from time to time.
>>It's on the back in small print with the chemical name just like all other ingredients.

So they are not informed. No court would consider that sufficient disclosure of a poison additive. Common law can't be evaded by resorting to technicalities as in your caricature.

Its basis is informed consent, and that incorporates all of the context that goes into making a determination of whether that's present, including custom, reasonable assumptions, etc.

Notice what distinguishes your "fine print" hypothetical from the scenario I described:

This is a company offering a game with terms of services clearly spelled out to you, with you free to accept or reject their offer with full knowledge of what they are offering.

Note: "clearly spelled out to you" and "full knowledge of what they are offering"

Not "fine print", with the implication that no one is reading it.

>>Besides that I think that your viewpoint is completely nuts and no well functioning society could exist like that.

You have not explained why you think this, so this is not a particularly constructive track of discussion.
This is awesome. I love a lot of the maker stuff on YouTube these days. It’s content dense in the same way that secret life of machines and This Old House were.
Yikes I can't believe that 1975 event happened and the royal family still remains in their seats.

All of these former British territories are 1 terrorist attack and 1 ambitious politician away from a political crisis.

Although I'm not even sure how to handle the dissolution of the monarchy without executing everyone. Taking their property only means a foreign state would prop them up.
Amazingly, that's a real quote from the book[1] (according to that source David Graeber blames bad editing), and it does raise questions about the credibility of anything else in that book.

But that story about Haiti's debt can be found in better sources.

crytohacks comments above are a good place to start to understand Haiti's troubled history. Neither have faired so well as American neocolonies, not that foreign influence is the only factor. In "Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed", Jared Diamond contrasts the two countries ecological policies in recent decades, and that may have something to do with DR slight edge.
Sadly, I see this as a natural consequence of how much influence individuals have versus how much influence organizations with money have. I, as a concerned citizen, have nothing compared to a group with a revenue stream orders of magnitude above my own. Even if I were to become a full time activist, the number of people I can reach is tiny compared to an institution with an advertising budget and a consultancy.

The border has been opened since 1982, what post-Franco Government issues are you talking about?

Speaking of Gibraltar, UK occupied the Isthmus of Gibraltar in 1815, where Spain's Government ceded the Isthmus for the duration of a yellow fever epidemic... And it's been occupied until now.

I'm afraid the attitude of the UK with respect to the rest of the world keeps being the same. Some examples:

- Brexit and post-negotiation with EU.

- Northern Ireland status.
You're moving the goalpost.

The statement wasn't "there exists a store that still accepts cash", but "many stores no longer accept cash".
This theory is often called "the Big Sort".

In abstract, allowing people to move to places where the government and work more closely matches their personal values and skillsets seems like a good way to increase everyone's satisfaction. In practice I'm not sure.
No officer was killed by capital rioters.

One was misreported to have been killed by rioters (with a fire extinguisher) but that later turned out to be either a mistake or fabrication and he actually died of natural causes a day or few days after the riot.
It says "Prices were collected from the operator with the largest marketshare in the country" so I guess it depends who that is.
I've been saying this for years, especially to useless "prototype polution" notices being reported by npm audit. In a project where this "pollution" only happens on the nodejs side in our build tools, they are meaningless if our output is a browser JS bundle.

People here forget that typescript is both a language and a static code analyzer for Javascript. You don't have to use Typescript syntax to use. You can write plain old Javascript and still use Typescript compiler to make sens of your code.

You can't do that with ReasonML, you are forced to adopt another language that is not Javascript.
In raw materials and manufacturing this is called "dumping" and is often illegal because it can have absolutely disastrous effects on supply chains. A well financed competitor can sell something below cost, crush all its competition, and then raise prices to whatever it pleases.
