A traffic stop is its own thing. You've presumably given them probable suspicion that you've committed some sort of infraction. Everything from something very innocuous like weaving within your lane to them seeing you run a red light. You're officially being detained, you're not free to go, and you have to answer their questions. Depending on your state, their questions may have to be related to the original purpose of the traffic stop unless they've got probably suspicion of some other infraction.

Nobody with a law degree has ever suggested that at a traffic stop you start off by saying you're not answering questions and to call your lawyer.

If communism and socialism is so bad, why is there even a need for an embargo? Surely these socialist countries will collapse under their own poor economic policies and not need a 60-year embargo to help tip the scales, which prevents them with interfacing with the rest of the world at the same level as other countries. This embargo that actively stifles their economy and is punitive to the people there is making things worse. If we wanted better for the Cuban people, the US would lift the embargo. After all, every year, the UN votes almost unanimously to lift the embargo (with the US only voting against).

This is somewhat related, but for those here who are interested in how local elections work in Cuba (they have 90+% participation!!!!), this is an excellent video on Cuban elections: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aMsi-A56ds

Priorities. It's a fact of life that disks wear out and fail. If your priority is data integrity, relying on unreliable tests to try to cut down on e-waste contradicts that, since that greatly increases the chance you'll be caught flat-footed and lose data.

I read the linked article, then I read part of the original study the article was based upon. My Statistics 101 interpretation of this is the study is bogus. First of all, you have to properly define the terms of what 'burnout' consists of. The study doesn't seem to do that. Second of all, even a well designed study, which this is not, is not statistically significant with such a low number of population samples. They interviewed 258 people for this. My conclusion: this "information" is worthless.
Is there a good book I can read about all of this cold-war era tech? I find it endlessly fascinating the number of programs and technology advancements that happened during this period.
Absolutely outrageous.
I don't know that there's so much a "standard" as just tradition - smaller grands are largely, as I understand it, about space constraints, but while I knew a place growing up with an almost-ten-foot Bosendorfer, it doesn't look like much ever broke the 10' mark. Most variation seems to happen in the 5-to-10-foot range.
That is not a good comparison. The SF Bay Bridge replacement project was conducted as a competition. The design that won was so much more complicated than all the other entries that at first it was not clear that it could be built and in fact the finished product is flawed with cracks and other failures. There is nothing particularly complex about the basic problem and the simple viaduct design that was advocated by the Governor at the time was expected to involve an order of magnitude less cost and time of construction but was rejected for being too simple and not beautiful enough. This management structure and these considerations have not been used for any space missions.
This is great, but (obviously) not purely benevolent.

A vial of analog insulin costs something like $6-7 to produce, probably less at Walmart scale. The distribution costs probably make the net cost somewhere still in the $7-10 range.

That’s a $60-65 or ~90% margin per Vial.

5-10 million or so insulin users in the US, let’s assume Walmart captures 3 million, at 3 vials per month.

$180 * 12 * 3mil ~~ 6.5 Billion.

Current market cap 400B

Lots of assumptions, but Walmart may have just added 2% of market cap per annum by insulin sales?

Perfect description of what I'm feeling right now. It's like some long-dead part of my childhood briefly lurched into life for a moment reopening the wounds of grief at the lost time.
Well, that's because the insulin has been getting better. You could always buy porcine insulin and shit. It's just not as good (side effects, harder to dose, etc.).
Enforcing the law becomes a lot harder when a community lacks trust in you, and kids who don't trust police officers turn into adults who don't trust police officers, and teach their children the same thing.
Non-competes jumped the shark when Jimmy Johns started requiring their Sandwich Artists to sign them.
Yeah that would be solved by NDAs and trade secrets.

Then if you write a stock trading app... Did you have any contact with the team that was writing the companies stock trading app, did you sign any NDAs about that, did you receive any information about that, did you have any trade secrets? No? Then they shouldn't have any claim.

IP assignment and non-competes should be eliminated for non-managerial employees.

Or for IP assignment it needs to be whittled down to narrowly apply only to what the employee actually worked on, not anything the business does.
It's interesting to look at how people have handled the axiom of choice in Metamath, since the axiom of choice has long had some controversy.

Metamath lets you state your axioms, then show that proofs build from their axioms. Each such collection of axioms & proofs is called a "database". There are Metamath databases that build on intuitionistic logic <http://us.metamath.org/ileuni/mmil.html> and New Foundations <http://us.metamath.org/nfeuni/mmnf.html> among others.

The largest Metamath database by far uses ZFC (Zermelo-Fraenkel Set Theory with the Axiom of Choice). That's the Metamath Proof Exporer (MPE) database: <http://us.metamath.org/mpeuni/mmset.html>. But even in that database, it's avoided where possible. Its conventions say, "We prefer proofs that depend on fewer and/or weaker axioms, even if the proofs are longer. In particular, we prefer proofs that do not use the axiom of choice where such proofs can be found. The axiom of choice is widely accepted, and ZFC is the most commonly-accepted fundamental set of axioms for mathematics. However, there have been and still are some lingering controversies about the Axiom of Choice. Therefore, where a proof does not require the axiom of choice, we prefer that proof instead. E.g., our proof of the Schroeder-Bernstein Theorem (sbth) does not use the axiom of choice. In some cases, the weaker axiom of countable choice (ax-cc) or axiom of dependent choice (ax-dc) can be used instead." <http://us.metamath.org/mpeuni/conventions.html>
It’s not as simple as all of that. With modern marketing and ads, the deck is very much stacked against us.
That is a very uncharitable interpretation of what Stroustrup said. It seems you had an opinion and retrofitted the interpretation of what he wrote to fit your opinion of him.

Great to see more competition in the insulin analogs space.

Walmart is also famous for selling regular insulin for $25/vial for many years now. Regular insulin isn't always as easy to dose as the modern insulin analogs, but it's a viable option for most people who are cost-constrained who don't otherwise have access to insurance.
That's not all there is to the story either. Processed food is generally cheaper in the sense of time and money. Most of us HNers are blessed with great salaries and stable (9-5) work. Millions of consumer, of course, are not.
For the purposes of this conversation, colonizing other planets effectively is destroying them. After that, no natural intelligent competitor will arise and surprise you, because you're right there to keep an eye on everything.

> The interrogator then proceeds to tell a series of lies about his background and interests to build rapport with the suspect - he's clearly done his research beforehand to understand which buttons he needs to push.

I feel like there's a fundamental difference between an interrogator lying about his own back story to build rapport and them lying about other evidence, witnesses or their authority to make a deal, etc.

So, the defendant saying those magic words should automatically erase any statements the defendant made, whether or not the magic words are true? Or should perhaps, both the claim of inducement and the other statements remain in evidence, with the trier of fact deciding on the weight to give each?
Your assuming all algorithms are defined in terms of English that's how you can order them alphabetically. English is an arbitrary language that comes from human culture. Same with a programming language. You are defining a set in terms of concepts that are cultural.

Algorithms themselves have no specific order. In order to define enumeration you must first start off by *selecting* which algorithm gets the first enumeration. This is a completely arbitrary choice.
This article is interesting but they are probably overthinking it. I think it's 80% or more due to the "road rage" effect. That is, people who aren't face-to-face don't humanize the other they are interacting with. There's also the "alcohol" effect, which is to say that someone speaks recklessly when they aren't afraid of getting punched for it.
I don't see anything in this release that says you can use WhatsApp without your account being tied to a phone, just that you can use it without you phone being on (mirroring).

> In other words, the finite nature of resources will ultimately pit one civilization against another as they all struggle to sustain their growth.

I absolutely can't see how that follows exactly. The Universe, hell, just our own galaxy, is pretty damn big. The time and fuel it could cost you to get to the adjacent civilization and steal its resources might be way too much compared to, you know, invest in some cosmic mining operations where you can get a Bonanza of resources just by poking into your local asteroid cluster.

To address the rest of this argument, a civilization might be as malicious as they come and they could still be very powerless and can't just go terrorize somebody.
I wouldn't even call the transhumanist part particularly charitable. Epstein's interest in it went hand-in-glove with his eugenicism -- he may have wanted to create tech to help him and his rich psycho friends live eternally as augmented superheroes, but that was never meant for the general betterment of humankind.
By agenda I suppose I mean that these comments are repeatedly prosecuting some sort of battle, and battles on divisive topics produce flamewar, which is not what we want here.

It would be swell to have one extreme weather hazard thread on HN that didn’t largely devolve into whinging about climate change, as if your snide comment ever made a difference.

Speaking practically, our forestry policies are zombies from a knee-jerk era of “protect everything” in response to a previous industrial perspective of “cut it all down.”

You’d be surprised - or sickened - how much forest coverage in the US is replanted. We’ve already made our mark on the environment, so why freeze our policies in place while the situation continues to evolve?

One approach often left unmentioned every fire season is clearing brush and trees for biofuels. Trump caught a lot of flack a while ago for blaming California wildfires on a lack of raking the forest, but he wasn’t entirely wrong there either. Forests need to be maintained. The native Americans understood this and had all kinds of forestry techniques like controlled burns. So why not turn a cost center into a profit center?

You can make quality pellets out of crap wood. I’ve seen it. Wood pellets are a fairly renewable resource too, since most of the growth necessary to sustain them happens in the very early parts of a tree’s lifecycle. That could gradually replace fuel oil and propane for rural areas (where nat gas pipes are uneconomical). And investing in forestry would be a good economic basis for long-neglected areas, such as New York State’s Southern Tier and North Country.

But for the love of God, if you’re going to take the time to complain, DO SOMETHING.
Fun tutorial! Some form of autocomplete would be nice.
Well, it at least happened before the Civil War. It ended when one side got stomped down militarily so hard that it could no longer fight back.

Their definition of misleading says it "includes information [...] that contradicts official government records". Because no government record has ever been wrong before, right?
I am pretty sure it is lawyers who are suggesting the advice but not sure if that makes it based out of greed.

If you look at it from a lawyer's perspective: The majority of my clients who speak to the police(either before or after employing me) have a large amount of trouble. So therefore it is ill advised to speak to the police.

What they are missing: All the people who spoke with police and had no problems.

It is sample bias.

LOTS of companies are either suing or thinking of suing GF for failure to uphold technology development/adoption agreements. IBM is one of those.

This Intel situation is certainly part of "keeping it in the USA" though it would have been far easier and cheaper to prevent outsourcing back in the mid-1990s when Silicon Valley's silicon ebbed out of the country. It was a night-and-day change and lots of knowledgeable people were scattered to the wind back then. Now much of that knowledge is having to be reinvented and rediscovered from scratch (because it was tacit knowledge that never could be recorded into books or other writing).

This probably is the best way for Intel to become a foundry. They tried 10 years ago and the entire process was 100% Epic Fail. Not surprising given the pain seen when AMD split off its fabs to form GF, when it abandoned being an IDM vertical fab. When you are an IDM, many process-design interfaces break or have to be formalized in ways that were never imagined or learned by the organization. That's how Intel failed its foundry attempt before so simply avoid Intel culture by buying an already working culture makes a lot of sense.
So, your kids playing a couple of games proves that touchscreen gaming has in fact displaced all conventional controls?

Someone better go tell the rest of the game industry they're really misallocating their resources.

Dunno about Octopath Traveller, but I have no idea why your kids are playing Captain Toad without the controller, unless you just don't trust them with the controller or something. Camera controls are clearly better with the controllers. Deemo or something like that would be a better example, but it's also clearly an exception.
I only know of that happening one time. Were there others?
Why not 100%?
What would that be a "favorite" answer? It's just one of the hypotheses. Drake's equation and how exactly must it be applied has been fiercely discussed for decades.

Unless, of course, saying it's your "favorite" is your way of saying "I like to believe in this one hypothesis".
I've been writing my backends in TypeScript for years now. This after having written C#, Java, Python and PHP backends. Dabbled a bit in Go but settled on Node.js / TypeScript. It may not be perfect, but sharing interfaces and code with the frontend and having a single language has been a huge productivity boost.

The inventors of insulin gave away the patents to specifically not profit off of a life saving drug. This is progress. However, I feel we have regressed as a society on preserving equitable access to life saving drugs.
It is better but costs more at $72 per vial. Regular/R insulin:

>Regular Human Insulin which has an onset of action of 1/2 hour to 1 hour, peak effect in 2 to 4 hours, and duration of action of 6 to 8 hours.

The insulin they're offering:

>starts to work about 15 minutes after injection, peaks in about 1 hour, and keeps working for 2 to 4 hours.

For example, if you have maybe 15 grams more of carbohydrates than you planned and you did R (old insulin), then you will either have to wait or, what they did for me in school back at that time, send em to P.E for awhile (since exercise _mostly_ and _usually_ lowers blood sugars) ;-).
As someone who has said and thought a lot of cringeworthy stuff it is easy to read it and understand him.

Misleading title. Google Drive bans *sharing* "Misleading Content," which means they can disable sharing if a doc containing blatant misinformation starts to be widely shared on other platforms. (Edit: This doesn't mean they'll go into your drive and remove doubleplusungood content)

Google Drive is now widely used as a social media platform -- I even get spam from google drive share notifications now! And so I'm sure they will stumble in all the ways that all the platforms do around content moderation.
Those certificates are user-added certificates, not system certificates. Android has two separate certificate stores, the UI only exposes the user certificate store, and by default apps only trust the system certificate store.

This was changed back in 2016, the original announcement post has some good details: https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2016/07/changes-to...

Enterprises can add certificates to the system store I believe, but only as part of the initial provisioning of the device, and only for enterprise-managed devices.

I would agree with you if we had a decent education system. I bet the amount of high school students that know how to read and make sense ilof a nutrition facts label is staggering low.
Not that those labels are even needed if they were taught to stay away from fast food, sugar drinks and highly processed food. But they are not.
There is also the issue of money, because junk food is usually more calorie dense and cheaper per calorie than healthy food. But government corn subsidies are to blame for that I guess.
