They are sequential for all intents and purposes, they are simply using two separate series within the same number – you are perfectly able to determine the order of the invoices.

I do agree that (as is so often the case) the directive is not specific enough to determine whether the Italian interpretation is correct or not, though I can provide some context from the German side as provided by the ministry of finance: "Eine lückenlose Abfolge der ausgestellten Rechnungsnummern ist nicht zwingend"[1] (~ "it is not required for the invoice numbers to be gapless"), which directly contradicts the Italians as far as I understand it.

The problem essentially was created by tech companies such as Google and Facebook. The fact is that everything you are reading online are from both ends of the political spectrum, the majority middle do not speak out, the same as in real society. Algorithms using likes to amply voices from both extremes. The people in the middle don't care about liking it, but having to bear the result of recommendation algorithms, and can't help to be political.

Many of my colleagues are Egyptian and I find it very interesting to hear the mix of identities they espouse. For some their identity as Arabic is very important to them, whereas others feel more Egyptian and dare I say predominantly Western. Some will almost always talk and write in vernacular Arabic (and it fascinates me to see the ASCII dialects they use in Slack) whereas others still venerate classical Arabic. So, while I suspect people will correct you that technically yes they are, it still seems a complex subject.
Full throttle is probably my favourite LucasArts quest. The feel, the soundtrack, voice acting, the graphics. Hand drawn animation had some special charm in 320*200 resolution, which was somehow lost when the industry moved on to higher resolution graphics.

And the ending sequence was super dynamic and cinematic, I struggle to remember any game that it can be compared with.

The ideas of Hofstadter and Hawkins aren't really related. Hawkins postulated a singular predictive algorithm as the explanation of how our neocortices works. Hofstadter has focused on analogies and have had some ideas similar to Hopfield networks/the Boltzmann machine. The latter fits in the trend of complex systems research, inspired as it was by spin glasses. Hofstadter worked with ideas that emerged from cybernetics, such as recursive causation and the vital role of feedback. Hawkins came from a different direction and ended up with a wholly predictive theory.

It should be noted that predictive coding predates Hawkins' work, perhaps best exemplified by Rao and Ballard's hierarchical predictive coding model from 1999. Various researchers working from similar assumptions put their thoughts together in Bayesian Brain in 2006. Since then, predictive processing has grown to be a very popular framework in neuroscience and cognitive science in general. Friston's free energy principle and philosopher Andy Clark's popularization of it have a lot to do with that.

There's been a ton of progress so far, so there's plenty of academic material for you to dive into.
I don't write enough 'runbooks' (I call them playbooks). But I do write them, normally in four ways:

- every three months I spend a day updating my 'what can go wrong' documents. List of issues, explanation of effects, possible technical and human solutions. A lot of these link to one or more playbooks, but some do not.

- when a new system is created or a long process discussed I'll throw the links and thoughts in an untidy playbook or a nearby README, whichever feels more appropriate. I'll tidy it up more if its going to be part of training.

- Randomly when I think about something.

- during an incident, or it the post-incident handling.

--

When actually writing the book I give an overall guide to whats going on in prose at the top, then several sections with relevant things. It might be a series of commands to run, a list of things to bear in mind, a series of links to relevant documentation/blogs/etc, or a mix of the lot. Again, as appropriate.

All the playbooks are in a repo of markdown files whoch gitlab renders and supports crosslinking. I do use a greasemonkey script to give copy+hide hover buttons on all scripts, as well as making large scripts scrollable, which are great ease of use features I haven't seen any more concrete solution do.
That depends how you draw the lines around the selfhood of Google. Did 2004 Google have the same intentions as 2021 Google?

Organizing information and making it useful sounds altruistically anti-misinformation. And maybe the search engine of the past was a net good against misinformation. And then maybe the ship attracted folks with less than ideal intentions over time, making your premise more and more true. Maybe 2031 Google will be much worse.
> I'm curious how much manipulation people think is involved in terms of buying things you didn't want. Enough to absolve someone of their financial responsibility for buying?

Well, marketing has some famous stories where seemingly counterintuitive things resulted in more buys, eg. Actimel (not sure whether it is called the same in the US as well, but this fruity milk drink with some added vitamins) was having trouble selling at their original price, but increasing the price and thus making it appear a more luxury item did the think for them. There are many small “hacks” in the human brain that are actively exploited by marketing so while I would not say that we are not responsible for our financing, we are at the very least heavily manipulated when shopping - and also, some people are easier to manipulate than others.

He did go to some really fancy places in some episodes, the kind with one-of-a-kind $300 appetizers and multi-thousand dollar wines with their own climate-controlled storage facility.

But he also went to Waffle House and enjoyed it. And hiked through the jungle to eat and drink (mostly drink) at a local festival and sleep in a hallway with the rest of the locals.

That was what really impressed a lot of us - he seemed to get along with everyone and to value and accept their differences. The food often seemed to be largely an excuse to explore and show that message.
Weed cost me 5 years of my life that I'm never getting back. It's great if some people can form better habits than me but all the weed users I know (plenty) use it every day all day.

The biggest detriment is opportunity cost, time you'd spend doing something exciting or productive is spent on watching your Netflix queue instead. Some people claim to get a lot of creative work done while stoned but those people probably haven't tried doing it sober for too long.

In addition to adding the continuum axiom or its negation, there's also the approach of restricting oneself to computable sets and thus only having countable infinities.
Summary:
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the Windows Print Spooler service improperly performs privileged file operations. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.

An attacker must have the ability to execute code on a victim system to exploit this vulnerability.

The workaround for this vulnerability is stopping and disabling the Print Spooler service

Ask HN: How did you get into technical training?
Almost as long as I’ve been working as a developer I’ve liked giving workshops and sharing knowledge. Recently I’ve been thinking of pivoting my career over to doing technical training (I run my own consultancy so I’d like to run it in my own name). I’ve been in talks with Pluralsight about making video courses but I think in-person training is more my jam.

Has anyone done this? Any tips for getting started?
I think I see what you're trying to say even if you're doing so very obliquely - the point is that this never was and never will be an issue that it makes sense to think of in absolutes.

Speech has never been free in this absolute sense anywhere, because, at the very least (!), there are cases where speech has obvious, immediate, terrible consequences.

That means that the difficulty lies in figuring out where exactly to draw a line along a blurry boundary. Hence the slippery slope issue.

No it didn't.

Do you have examples of democracies before the printing press besides Athens and arguably the late Roman Republic? Those happened nearly two millenniums before the press and didn't last that long. "Thriving"?
You're basically saying that somehow by waking up earlier you create energy out of nothing. Waking up earlier only does 1 thing: shifts everything earlier. I could also advise the exact opposite: wake up later. That way the time when the lack of energy is felt also comes later. But neither one solves the problem which is either:
1- lack of energy
2- spending too much energy on things we'd rather not spend.
>means that you get the same output from a circuit

Not sure where you were taught that, but it does not strike me as the generally accepted meaning of the term "linear".

Where I hail from, linear means:

f(a*x + b*y) = a*f(x) + b*f(y)

aka the superposition principle.
Great post! I'm not familiar with all of fly's inner workings but I'm guessing that each app gets its own Redis instance at each location (rather than all of your customers sharing instances) because "global" item replication is a bit cheaper if "global" == locations where the app actually exists. I wonder if there's a way for an application to write to a subset of locations (i.e. locations all over the US, I just want to update something in California). Obv I could have each of my CA locations do a local update but maybe I don't want to

To be fair, that's barely a crime. Maybe not legally in many places, but still, selling weed is a far cry from the crimes KYC was established because of.
I totally know that digital clock effect you're talking about. It's caused by something else though. It's actually a physiological hallucination due to high power ultrasonic waves coming out of those types of clocks. Rather than smoothly turning a small crank at 60rpm like in an analog clock, the clockwork gnomes inside digital clocks have to frantically push and pull a lever at 32.768KHz, and their stiff little pointy silk hats make perfect tweeter elements. It's also why those clocks get so warm, and why the snooze button is so unreliable; the gnome gets a well deserved nap, but is so exhausted he sleeps through his own alarm...

The feature checklist is only a part why people use a product.

I didn't try Zorbi yet but I tried Anki a few times and I simply hate its interface. Yes, it has all the features but it is far too clunky and bothersome to use for me. Zorbi in contrast looks like it has a easy, beautiful UI that I can actually use with joy.
I don't think it's ironic. We can be opposed to privacy-infringing apps/corporations and be opposed to centralization and censorship at the same time.

What this fakespot (i had no idea it existed until today) is doing is NOT different from what apple/google/facebook and other data brokers are doing. I'm horrified it exists and would gladly participate in setting those corporations on fire, but at the same time i'm even more horrified when they destroy their own competition in the name of protecting us users, because it's a shameful hypocrisy.

It's basically like the police killing random citizens (mostly not those who are white/rich) then saying they have a monopoly on legitimate violence. The first situation is already terrible, but that they fight competition in their crimes against humanity is all the more reason to dismantle these entities.

I’ve been thinking about this with the recent rapid expansion of neural net image generation and interpretation.

I think most of our analogies are highly visual in their nature - we take the metaphorical and give it physical form, and through that mapping gain a common understanding of abstract topics. Our minds largely evolved around being able to make sense of and operate within the visual world, so it would make sense for our cognition to be tied into that ancient and massively powerful compute element. It’s embedded throughout human culture and language, so is likely not an emergent phenomenon but an inherent property of our minds.

On that basis, I wonder if we’re nearer than we think. I’m absolutely not an AI researcher, and it probably shows, but perhaps a visual intermediary is the key to generating a useful understanding of analogies in a way that maps well to the human understanding of analogies, and thus brings us a step closer to a general purpose AI.

Ryan Gosling.
Of course, the cost is passed on to customers - it's not paid by manufacturers.

Which is how it works and it's fine, as long as recycling isn't micromanaged by State.

If you think about it, this "who pays" confusion is often seen here among economically clueless HN readers who want to make you believe it doesn't cost anything when manufacturers are pushed to honor warranty for products screwed up by techno-socialists trying to repair them on their own.

Buyer always pays, whether the cost is higher due to recycling or your fake Right to Repair.

Ask HN: WebSockets as a Service?
I have implemented a few projects using websockets for variety of purposes. I have implemented them in .Net and NodeJS (server side). I was wondering if there's any SAAS provider offering websockets as service so one doesn't have to run a websockets server and can just implement a client.
Is there something available or is there a need for such a service?
This reminds me of James Mickens' Usenix presentation. He says the humane thing to do would be to develop AI that helps build new human relationships between the over-socialized group and the under-socialized group, instead of encouraging people to talk into the void.

That's only a tiny point in a much larger, very interesting presentation that tells all about why AI is dumb (or a scam, depending on your interpretation), why the S in IoT stands for security, etc... Strongly recommend to watch it!
> You can check your analysis of any of these circuits using the wonderful LTSpice.

I agree that LTSpice is wonderful. It would be even more wonderful if it was open sourced.

But because it's been closed source, it has basically stagnated for the past 10 years.

But then, this whole notion of sharing your blueprints and designs with the whole world so the whole world can improve them is such a gigantic impedance mismatch with the culture of the EE crowd in general that its quite unlikely to ever happen.

Nobody said you should stop in this instant. I was criticizing how your approach to fighting your competitors inadvertently does a lot of damage to people that don't know any better.

If you think this is all so terrible, go live in a commune instead of posting on a message board that is run by an organization that is deeply connected to big tech and all the things you're complaining about.

This argument is basically the "yet you live in a society, curious" meme[0]. I work also work in tech(as an industrial automation contractor to be precise) so I enjoy the technical aspect of the conversations here.

Also, Matrix has lots of Bullet Time rigs, which aren’t motion capture rigs, but we’re clearly usable even back then for some “transplanting” of recordings to another scene, much more so than regular shots.

Quite an aggressive opening there against doing the output switching in software. I would be annoyed if it happened in hardware since it means losing flexibility. In software, the output can be set per-application and you don't need to have physical access to the port to swap between devices.

One good use I know of that can only work by doing the switching in software is something that some voice communication software does. They will have 2 output device selections, one for call audio and one for ringer audio. Without that, you'd have to be sure to unplug your headset every time you get up from your computer.
