I dunno about banned. Not practical, for one thing. Although... I dunno, I don't see bootlegging being as successful or widespread with soda as it was with alcohol. Regardless, probably not practical.

But the state of things in which unlimited free refills of soda is the norm, 64+oz fountain soda servings are common, and 300+ calories of soda are often added on to "combo meals" for effectively just ¢20-¢30 over the cost of the food as a "sweetener" (ha) to get people to choose a combo over a single item, is clearly not great. Something's out-of-whack.
> Basically standards for public officials are different from normal people.

I agree in general, but don't see how that applies in this case.

I don't see any difference to your parent's example of someone playing music with their car windows down. Driving a car out in public, you don't have an expectation of privacy and can be filmed by any passerby, and "this video could be broadcast on platforms or media that don't filter and that it absolutely, without question, leads to unlicensed reproduction."
How do you feel about "scuba" or "laser?" Acronyms that are pronounced like they're spelled (eg, Nasa, gif, taser) tend to end up being spelled like words sooner or later instead of being in all caps.
Mvc isn’t an architecture at all. It’s just meant to be a tiny pattern for ui widgets from the 70s that people started to use as an architecture. The actual goal is to just keep a tiny piece of business logic from having a dependency on a specific input or on the view. It applied to a single button or a single input field back then.

Architecture is more about deciding what direction your dependencies go and where your hard boundaries go

Hence the quotes around "no one." As you suggest, obviously some people had access to the pre-Web Internet--I communicated over the Internet as early as about 1978--but it was a small slice of the population.
No, Brawndo. It's got everything the body craves. Electrolytes!
Or they should stop stealing tax payers money and dissolve these agencies. The one thing they are good at is digging deeper and deeper the debt account, for virtually no benefit, and surely nuisance and worries.
This is a helpful post because it gets to the heart of the difference. Many people are saying "if you do HTML in a particular way, you get the same benefits." I'm asking "what's inherent to the form?" That's exactly the point about C--you can write it in a way that's provably terminated, but it's not guaranteed. Consider the consumer's perspective.

When I land on a page that's a PDF, I know certain things--I can easily save it and read it later. How do I know that? Not because I have read the PDF spec, or know that much about it, but because of my experience as a consumer of the web.

When I land on an arbitrary web-page, do I know the same thing? No. I don't know what the page is doing, I don't know what my browser will do when I try to save the page. When I save this page, I have the option to save HTML only, or a complete web page. Will the complete page actually work? I go into the source, and there's a link to the javascript (which is saved locally). Does rendering the page rely on that javascript? Does that javascript do xhr or fetch calls? Since it's Hacker News, I suspect the answer is no. However that's not inherent to the medium.

There are better ways to archive the content of even dynamic JS heavy pages, but they are not things that you learn as an average user of the web.

Another group who use that name are the libertarians who recognise that the Tedros rename to sars2/covid is a Kampfbegriff and refuse to use it out of principle in order to avoid supporting the CCP propaganda efforts. They are politically diametrically opposed to right-wingers and do not deny the existence of virus/disease.
I wouldn't be surprised if a number of departments just as policy outright told them "Don't do this, it makes you look silly / guilty of something."
I guess I don’t really understand the point being made. Does it matter that much that saving a page create a single file in your hard drive? If you really want a static rendering of a site why not just print it to a PDF. Why does that have to dictate the file format you use for distribution? With PDFs you don’t have to worry about conversion but they are also comparatively larger over the wire.

> even that may not have the content you want to due to dynamic sites

But PDFs also don’t give you dynamic content. Nothing is stopping people from using HTML to serve static, JS-less content. In fact that’s what it was originally designed to do. All this web app stuff was bolted on afterwards, and it’s optional.

What do we accomplish by having some people switch over to PDFs? The people who don’t care about bloat will continue to not care about it. It’s not like thin content will become more discoverable or more common. It doesn’t really change incentives. The author says using PDFs makes it so you’re not tempted to add cruft to your sites but that’s not really a compelling argument.

Getting content creators to produce content without bloat is not really a technical problem. It’s a cultural and economic one. I don’t see how a file format addresses that.

The amount of effort and extra hardware required to maintain this reproducibility across different hardware (cpu generations, GPU hardware/drivers, etc) feels insane to me. For example, people seem extremely interested in performance, but insist on using the much slower modes in MKL to maintain the bottom few bits of their golden data.

Do you find this genuinely important? If not, have you had any success encouraging e.g. validating against golden data in a non-bitwise comparison?
True but that is one of the key defining elements of HN comment section: arguments about semantics.

I'm not exactly sure what point you're trying to make here, but I don't think two different formats for encoding formatted text with images constitute different "mediums".
If that doesn't work, another option may be to link the video to the publisher of the song and provide the city/department name. I am not a lawyer, but hopefully one will chime in that is an expert on media content laws. Some publishers take public broadcasting of their works very seriously. Public broadcasting in this case is not just Youtube, but also the police officer playing for the audience in a public setting. Restaurant and bar owners are familiar with this. They are only allowed to play content for their customers that has been licensed to them and license does not mean a personal spotify account. There are fines for non-compliance. [1] This is not the same as blasting music in your car in case anyone draws the comparison. The officer is playing the music for their audience / customers with the intent of it being on Youtube. In my opinion it should be easy to prove intent in this case.

Maybe, maybe because pointing out such a thing is evidence of a bigger problem (systemic discrimination & racial bias) that has been demonstrated to not be only exclusive to the realm of human investigators, but also in a lot of facial recognition software (that both trains on a disproportionate amount of black faces and is poorly able to differentiate between distinct black faces).
They should choose something that actually interests them! If they don't have the skills, get an MBA, or take a lowever paid job. Then excel. I have a friend who did a PhD in absolute flatness: how pointless is that? But highly relevant to astronomical mirrors and telescopes.

I don’t need one, it’s entirely deductive reasoning. Do you dispute that people generally acquire a replacement phone if theirs is stolen? Do you dispute that phones have the same environmental footprint whether they’re an upgrade or a replacement for a stolen device?

As for your last paragraph, I have no idea what you’re talking about. That doesn’t sound like a response to what I said. I don’t want activation lock removed from any device.
The more time I've spent in tech, the more I realize that there are very few "correct answers" - there are things that work in a particular context. Software patterns in particular are just what you make of them.

I would have no problem saying "many people use MVC to mean 3 tier and other people use it to mean XYZ".

It is very difficult to be completely technically correct. It is also rare that one needs to be completely technically correct in conversation.
Buying is better, if you are thinking a bit long term like 4-5+ Years.

Now, why I said that: Here’s my story - I had lived in an apartment for 5 years. It’s my longest stretch at one place so far. I paid about $100k in rent for all of those years. When I left that place, I got nothing out of it. If I had a house, then I would had built some equity.

Edit: removed - ‘Buying is always better’ from the first sentence
The US has different policy goals for different countries. The professed Cuban focus has been on democracy and human rights; it would be politically very difficult for the US to justify its embargo if Cuba becomes democratic and restores Cubans' rights to vote, speak, protest, travel, etc freely.

> especially in the event that a faction not favorable to the neoliberal capitalism and US geopolitical capitalism won, or seemed likely to win, in that democracy.

There's no real scenario in which Cuba becomes a democratic country but retains its hostile relationship with America. Any democratic revolution is going to be supported by the US because the US wants to ensure friendly relations with the new government for its own interests (e.g., trade). Moreover, even in the extremely unlikely event that democratic Cuba is hostile toward US interests, it's even more unlikely that they would stay that way because ordinary Cubans (like all 2nd world countries) want access to the 1st world lifestyle and the elite will want access to US markets, so internal pressure will favor more open trade with the US and even if the US is run by greedy capitalists (and I think it is to a large extent) it's in their interest to lift the embargo on a democratic Cuba.

It could mean that NSO controls the infrastructure that manages the tool, but that they don't actually collect the data themselves. So what they said could technically be true if all they do is manage the infrastructure that enables their clients to do the collection of data.
> Regardless of your feelings on Assange, and regardless of your feelings on what the US had been doing in those cables, had this been a russian/chinese/british/french spy, they would have been treated far more aggressively.

Because actual espionage is working to undermine one government at the behest of another. That's not what journalists do, so the espionage charges against Assange are bullshit.

I did this once and got ghosted after making it better. Not sure why they are doing it, but in my experience it never goes anywhere.
The "nothing to hide" argument is flawed because it only looks at the past and not the future. It's basically saying the opportunity cost for not giving up my privacy is zero. It's to hedge against being wrongly accused of something or a myriad of other unforeseen events happening to you, none of which your fault (e.g., identity theft) that if you had privacy would be easier to avoid even if you're a perfectly law abiding citizen.

It's like believing put options in stock market should be worth $0 because you will never need to exercise them.

If you are not outsourcing security, then you are not taking it seriously. It is the one thing where you need to give the job to the best person.

But, we’re more likely to outsource the one thing you don’t need to outsource, like app developers.
Hey HN,

We've just launched Occson - a zero-knowledge single source of truth for your configuration. Here are some main features:

* The files you push are encrypted and decrypted on your endpoints only - we never see the contents, so your secrets stay secret

* Unopinionated - we don't force you to fit your config into how we think it should work, instead we just get out of your way

* Language- and platform-agnostic - you can use it from anywhere (reference Ruby client available at https://github.com/occson/ccs)

* Accessible on the web and through a CLI

We've got a short blog post showing how to use it with a Ruby on Rails application: https://occson.com/blog/occson/rails/environment/devops/ruby...

We'd be stoked to answer any of your questions here or through e-mail (check my profile for that)! Thank you so much!

Helluva "hobby" you're pulling 6 figures from...
I've been looking for jobs, but nothing has fit my criteria so far. My criteria might be slightly high, but I'm trying to balance what the posting is selling me with realistic expectations and being able to support my family (can't take much of a pay or benefits cut). I know there will be problems anywhere, so I'm trying to find something I can objectively say provides better opportunity, pay, or conditions. I'm also looking at internal job postings and having conversations with my manager about career progression and opportunities.
Show HN: Reader, a Python feed reader library
I've been saying for awhile now that developers who work in life critical applications should be held to the same licensing and educational standard as civil engineers. There should be legal difference between a "coder" who can be unlicensed and not formally trained working on non critical software and a "software engineer" who is educated, licensed and bonded to work on stuff such as medical, automotive, aerospace and control systems. There should also be some kind of equivalent to the various engineering organizations that sets standards and norms.

Hi there,

I'm Adrian, and I'd like to share a side project I've been working on for the past 3 years.

reader is a Python feed reader library – it takes care of the core functionality required by a feed reader, so you can focus on what makes yours different.

reader allows you to:

* retrieve, store, and manage Atom, RSS, and JSON feeds

* mark entries as read or important

* add tags and metadata to feeds

* filter feeds and articles

* full-text search articles

* write plugins to extend its functionality

Part of the reason for this project was to do the best work I could. I spent a lot of time thinking about the API, how to make it nice to use, and how to reduce the likelihood of breaking changes. I've also taken the time to make it maintainable long-term; to this end, the core library is fully typed and has 100% test coverage.

More importantly, I wanted to make a self-hosted feed reader web app – for privacy reasons, and so I can easily change stuff I don't like. The fact that I couldn’t find one extensible enough bugged me so much that I decided to make my own; a few years later, I ended up with what I would’ve liked to use when I first started.

https://reader.readthedocs.io/en/stable/#quickstart gives a quick tour of what the API looks like; the user guide has a more detailed feature-by-feature overview.

There's also a web app (which I use daily for feeds and podcasts); it's somewhat ugly since I don't really care for front-end stuff :) But that's kinda the point – if you want to build your own you can, and you only need to do that; the low level stuff is already taken care of.
Intriguingly, mancala is the Egyptian Arabic name for that game.

Some very early boards from e.g. Aksum in Ethiopia were identified by archaelogists as mancala boards, but are more likely to have been for Senet.

It's probable that the Ancient Egyptians played both, but I don't believe the record is clear on where mancala came from and at what time it reached Egypt, presuming that isn't where it came from, which it might be.
Same. Milk was always an option.

During college I availed myself of all-you-can-drink soda, and pretty much stopped drinking milk. Surprise, surprise the change (coupled with stress) resulted in some pretty serious and frequently recurring GI issues.

Finally isolated the cause (docs were useless), went back on a 1+ glass of milk a day practice, and everything returned to normal.

Since then, I pretty much cut soda out of my diet as well. IMHO, if we're looking at it from a caloric perspective, there are a lot more delicious things to spend 140 calories on.
I encountered this in a scientific computing context where a Monte Carlo simulation was designed to give reproducible results across runs. I've forgotten which architectures (Power, Alpha?) hit this but basically some fraction of the test suite failed because the same starting conditions gave slightly different results due to FMADD using a greater precision internal representation before the final round, which meant that over time the particles being simulated would be in different positions (very close, of course).

Based on how key software is in so many things, we're going to be faced with a choice soon:

a) As an industry, clean house and hold ourselves accountable to better practices, uncovering and fixing honest mistakes, and punishing misbehavior; OR

b) Do nothing and let regulators write the rules for us.. which we know will be outsources to the big consultancies like Deloitte, BAH, PwC, KPMG, etc.

If we don't all get onboard for A, the alternative will be ugly.
Its a question because “having equity” isnt always the better answer

Its how much, what percent of what, how much does it cost you to maintain and service, how long you are looking at

Anyway thats the point of the calculator
I get your point, but really is anything like this so black and white? What about "house-rules"? If I am playing Pinochle with several additional house-rules (that either add or subtract from the "official" Pinochle rules) then what am I playing? On one hand I could see the argument that I am technically no longer playing official Pinochle, but it seems wrong to say that I am playing a game that is completely distinct from Pinochle. It seems more accurate to describe games (and honestly most other human activities) as existing on a continuum of more-or-less instead of a rather black and white boolean reality.
It's more complicated than that. Few decisions, particularly ones regarding foreign policy, are made on single factors.
This all depends on geography though. Buying in the bay area and only staying for 2.01 years could get you a pretty hefty ROR assuming you don't remodel anything, considering the supply constraints. Maybe covid & remote work will change that.

Always is a strong word. I move around a lot, from 6 to 18 months at a time. The time it would take to search, purchase, and resell a home doesn't make sense in that scenario. Renting gives some flexibility in moving compared to buying. If you're staying in one spot though, then I agree with you more.
I am really really tired of this stupid, half-educated claim that gets repeated again and again by NN fanboys.

There has never been a dearth of universal function approximators, polynomials can do it, splines can do it, sine/cosines can do it. Being a universal approximator is hardly unique or special.

There is absolutely something special about DNNs but being universal approximators is not one of them.

Being able to learn a function from data is very different from being able to represent that function.
There's still a huge difference between "people put in the correct parameters and AI nevertheless got the wrong result" and "people put in incorrect parameters and AI isn't a miracle worker that can correct it for them."

Wow, captcha to create a HN account. The times are changing.

I was watching the 60 minutes rewind playlist on YouTube and happened to come across the original 60 minutes interview with JA. It was amazing to see him walking around outside during his initial house arrest and to see him so young. And it was a strange feeling to watch it knowing the outcome for the first time.

In that interview they make mention of a “poison pill” where JA was threatening the US government with disclosing explosive classified secrets if he were to be arrested or assassinated. I wonder if that poison pill is still in play?
Prosecution should be held in contempt of court if they fail to keep their own evidence securely, including the platforms and locations of storage.

I think prosecutors should go to jail if they keep their evidence in a building covered in kerosene and then "whoops" the evidence has gone up in flames.

There is no natural boundary with which to say that a game has so many variants from Platonic poker as to no longer qualify. Any abstraction proposed as a criterion for classification is just that, an abstraction, since poker is a socially-constructed category.
