This would be a bad idea, due to inter-dialectal variation. As I said in an earlier comment [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27070624]:

> Phonetic spelling is useless when you’ve got more than one dialect. For instance, consider the word ‘castle’. Is this [kæsɫ̩], or [kɑːsl̩], or [kɑːsu] (as it is for me), or something else entirely? Having an orthography which is not purely phonetic avoids this problem.
Why would a tech company need an anti-terrorism unit?

All US rail freight cars have a "bleed rod" that releases all the air in the brake system so you can move cars for switching.

Most large railroad yards nowadays are "hump yards" where a locomotive pushes cars over a small hill and they roll down the though a series of switches with a computer monitoring their progress and activating rail mounted brakes that squeeze the sides of the wheels so they roll into other cars at a controlled speed to make up trains.

Smaller yards, like in this story of the runaway, are "flat switched" where a locomotive and man power manually do all this work to put a train together. Back before railroads started reducing train crews the engineer wouldn't need to get out to align switches; they had a "switchman" who would get out and align the switches as needed.
Well they're currently being accused of fraud for misleading banks, so...

I am less optimistic. Those plants are *massive*. Shutting them down will not be easy. For example the one in Poland accounts for about 20% of the total power generation in Poland and was recently expanded[1].

I'll agree that it's a delicate tool. Similar to Lisp, CSS is very elegant in the right hands but also heavily reliant on the devs sticking to strong conventions and principles. On solo projects, or projects with just a couple of devs, it can be wonderful. But it does tend to have trouble scaling.

Which is why, even though I don't love them, I respect the usefulness of things like CSS Modules that impose more scoping and constraint over CSS codebases. For bigger teams they do tend to be necessary.
I know ARM in principal supports BE, but never heard real BE ARM products yet. Is there one? I am just curious.
Even if it were possible, I don't think there's a way to do it in a way that would make any sense. Would we set up an AI now and then forever use the same one? In that case people will learn any small quirks of the AI and optimize against those vs human play, fundamentally changing the game. If the proposal is to be constantly updating this AI, well even in that case I'd argue that people will over time identify any small difference between machine and human play, but in that case people will also be upset that someone got normed against the "easy" AI, or against the AI that didn't know about the dumdenmorph-joyce-allens countergambit yet, etc.
It's the other way around.

If a virus can infect an unvaxed person with no mutations, there will be no incentive for a mutation to become the dominant strain.
There's something to what you said, but I also don't think a totally nihilistic perspective is justified. No Administration is going to be perfect WRT climate change, and there are real political constraints on oil prices in the near term.

What we need is to make electric vehicles (including PHEVs) like 80-100% of our vehicle mix, not ~1% for current cars on the road or 2-4% of new vehicles. Then oil prices wouldn't matter so much politically (it'll still affect industry, but that's much less impactful politically compared to motor gasoline prices).

As far as Germany approving a pipeline with Russia, well... I agree it's pretty dumb. Germany needs to just end their coal entirely, which in the very near term means more gas, but they should also try to reverse the closure of nuclear power plants.
There's a difference between attacking a rival political position, and attacking the concepts of truth and shared objective reality. Authoritarians want to spread cynicism and nihilism so their populations won't one day stop tolerating their corruption and oppression and demand political agency.

It's literally a life or death conflict for them. If the whole of Russia or China wakes up tomorrow and demands free and fair elections, it's game over.
I’d say it’s easier to make money as an engineer. Hikaru is an amazing player but he has to stream to make good money
You're arguing about something I'm not. The fact the waveform collapse appears instant doesn't violate causality at all. To break causality the collapse should be usable for communication, but it isn't.

Yet it does appear instant, from all data we have. And that is not explained at all by our current understanding of quantum physics. It's "explained" as in we observe it, and can calculate how it works. But it's not explained as in how come that collapse happens instantly regardless of the distance.

Therefore spacetime is either non-local, or we need another interpretation like many worlds that avoids the collapse and replaced it with neverending waveform, or something else.

To say there's nothing here left to explain to me says you don't understand the problem in the first place. Either that, or you know something that leading physicists don't know right now.
Thank you for that very thoughtful and intelligent advice. It helps to know the makeup of PH - "product design and self-promotion tools" users as you say.
Biased reporting != misinformation. By conflating the two I think you tip your hand and reveal yourself to be interested in propagating the latter.
I live in NYC, and lived in SF. NYC can have a congestion fee because car travel is essentially a luxury. All train lines within the affected area of the city run every 15 minutes or so overnight, and less than 10 during the day. The bus service is also extremely extensive. SF has nothing comparable. There are ~4 subway stops in downtown SF, vs 151 in manhattan (probably around 120-130 in the affected area). SF needs to right with density and transit to even begin considering something like this.
The point is it exponentially harder to break the 2500 / 2600/ 2700 barriers . It is hard work.

The reason it is hard work is because beyond a point the preparation is a lot about memorizing and remembering a lot of lines variations not improving on your understanding or theory. That's also why older you grow it is harder to be at the top, understanding is not diminished at 40+, however memorizing abilities are.

You will have to understand Paul morphy story to understand to why he said something like that.

He was the world best by a good distance and he quit playing at 22. He had struggles and was consumed by it. After spending most of your formative years and not finding the meaning in the life despite having won pretty much everything can be life altering. He is known as the pride and sorrow of chess with good reason.

Of the ten plants just one is in China and two are in India.

South Korea, having three, might be a better target here.

I agree that Germany should set an example. The German plant is 40 years old already anyway.

Other countries with newer plants would be more reluctant.
But they can’t even get a feed with ads to people. I should have been able to get the NBC “live” Olympics feeds on Peacock or one of the other NBC apps at the broadcast times. Nope. Not even with ads. No dice. Cord-cutters are SOL (if you don’t want to put up an antenna or don’t have local NBC reception).

This is how you handle the Olympics if you want the ratings to nosedive.

The issue with Japan is not specifically the decline nor absolute level of overall population. It's rather the demographic makeup which is shifting older. The next few decades will be increasingly difficult for them as their economy will need to support a larger level of retirees.

China has a similar issue coming down the line.

Thank you so much for sharing László Polgár! I have not heard of him before - I love his work now!

I believe his claim: if we tried, we could turn "any healthy newborn" into "a genius".

László Polgár raised his children focusing on chess. His two daughters became the best and second-best female chess players in the world.
This is a distortion of the paradox of tolerance, it doesn't endorse censorship. The existence of extremely intolerant views doesn't magically make it impossible to voice normal views. For example, Reddit pre-Pao had plenty of extreme subreddits that existed on the page, and never resulted in a exodus of non-extreme views.

The paradox of tolerance only comes into play when views start getting translated into actions. Let the Nazis march down Skokie. Action should only be taken against them if they start acting on their views. Removal only happens in the interest of self-preservation. The paradox of tolerance is not an endorsement of censorship.
> It is sad that I have to mention it, but it has absolutely nothing to do with their race, but with opportunities.

It is possible to decentralize without making a population car dependent. Just add walking paths, alleys, and local shopping.

I think a major part of why people built mazes and fences around their neighborhoods is a bit of mild xenophobia. The idea of never having to meet anyone other than your immediate neighbors and chosen associates makes a great deal of sense. If your neighborhood is walkable then you could have unsavory elements on the sidewalks. Outsiders in your neighborhood!

If you can only travel by car, you can isolate yourself and your family and choose who you associate with. You are protected from the general public by your car until you arrive at a "Safe" place like a soccer meetup, church, or a Boy Scout meeting. This is much harder to do in a walk-up apartment where you may meet someone who threatens you physically, racially, or ideologically.
This resignation letter was also heavily refuted by other insiders, most specifically that Weiss was actively insulting her co-workers in the middle of meetings. Who should I be believing?
The major US company I worked for 6-7 years ago had a global presence, but were all sort of independent. We started to merge into 1 formal company, and started reviewing IT processes.

The Japan location still had people walking through the data center with a sheet of paper and a pen, going through and manually checking servers off a list in the data center. It blew everyone's mind
What a concept, targeting the places you can make the most impact first.
Well I think we can agree that the type of targeted, sophisticated, funded misinformation campaigns that we're seeing, are always bad. Meanwhile I think we can also agree that moderation is a necessary feature of any community. But it sounds like you're trying to put moderation and misinformation campaigns in the same category?
> How would you shutdown Tether temporarily (2-3 months) if a bank ends a relationship?

By refusing to take deposits for new Tether, and by shutting down redemptions if necessary while the banking relationship is sorted out.

Tether doesn't exist ex nihilo; it requires active management to issue and redeem coins. If it ever cannot live up to its "fully backed" claim, then continuing to operate under a pretense is fraudulent.
Another interesting way this breaks down in practice is when communities interact.

You can observe this today on the Fediverse. A common pattern is a small group pressuring moderators of some community to ban select people, under threat of the whole community being banned by many other communities. They make good on this threat by playing all the other communities against each other, threatening each one with being banned, unless they ban the original target community.
Targeting the worst CO2/kWh power plants makes a pretty big difference because our best chance at decarbonizing most of the rest of that 75% of global emissions is to electrify them. (Biofuels, etc, are not better than electrification.)

Hi :)

The books I was refering to are from Jonathan Levin, who finished to work (and publish) the three different volumes two years ago.

I live in Europe now so it is not possible for me to order them via Amazon (the only physical distributor from what I understood), and ordering them directly from another distributor requires 50$ per each book (so, 125$ in total for one volume).

I am not a fan or user of ebooks for this case I would love to have this solution :)

It serms that antiviruses today have only antifeatures. The last time i saw an antivirus detect malware was more than 10 years ago. Now the only protection against viruses is common sense, a good backup and another OS to recover what's left after the disaster strikes.
Non-braindead antivirus software would look for the backdoor programs rather than the keygens themselves. Though as time goes on, I become less and less convinced that there's such a thing as non-braindead antivirus software.
Generic type. Just like C++ or Java, really.

So `ArrayVec::<T, const CAPACITY: usize>` is an ArrayVec of items of type T, with capacity CAPACITY (of type usize, think size_t). An ArrayVec is a vector backed by a fixed-size array. Basically an array with convenience methods on it.[1]

In this case, T is `&[u8; CHUNK_LEN]` and `CAPACITY` is `NUM_INPUTS`. `&[u8; CHUNK_LEN]` is roughly equivalent to a `uint8_t* array[CHUNK_LEN]`.

So to simplify even more it's a fixed-size vector of byte arrays. The details of why it's not quite equivalent to that C code (how Rust checks the safety) are beyond the scope of this comment.

"This is a pretty facetious comparison." Is it? A few weeks ago I noticed that the wind in my state was below 5mph over the entire state, for the entire day, with temperatures in upper 90's. You literally can't overbuild wind enough to account for this.

Add in that the latest nat-gas installation in my state from start to finish cost 1/4th the price of our last wind turbine installation, if you compare actual power produced over the year instead of simply comparing max rated production.

That's when I realized that you literally can't have enough wind to replace CO2 producing power and nuclear is the only reasonable answer.

>In San Francisco and the East Bay, disposable income for police, firefighters and security workers ranked last in the country, with $1,800 left over annually after living expenses. Workers in transportation, food service, maintenance and personal care all fell short of being able to afford basic needs.

Assuming these folks make it out of the lowest income bracket, the least they will pay is ~$2. That's over 1% of their disposable income for the year. These are the folks that are going to stop driving downtown at rush hour, unless of course their job requires it...then they're fucked.

There are lots of folks in SF earning $1800/day of disposable income...it's not even going to cognitively register that they are paying anything.
@detritus To quote Matt Hancock directly:

"I wasn't going to settle for a contract that allowed the Oxford vaccine to be delivered to others around the world before us. I was insisting we could keep all of the British public safe as my primary responsibility as the Health Secretary."
I'd like to see the benchmarks, including power draw. I suspect it is similar to soft ChaCha vs hard AES. A ChaCha software implementation can achieve similar speed as the AES hardware at the cost of significantly higher power draw due to pushing the AVX units at near maximum utilization.

All the vaccines have some issues - ignoring them and sweeping them under the rug is reckless. RNA vaccines have risk of serious alergic reaction, can be mitigated by sitting for 15 minutes after the jab, monitoring and having epi pens on hand. Simple and effective and saves lives.

Given that Defender (apparently) directly deletes the files in question without asking, it seems you agree with the grandparent that it is, in fact, censorship.
Ah yeah it could be clearer I suppose, fwiw just using NBCOlympics.com and signing in with youtube tv (which I share with the rest of my fam.) is what I've been doing; I've heard of others using a ~$10/mo promo on sling and using that as a cable provider

all in all it's still better than trying to fight nba/mlb blackouts, where no matter who and what you pay you end up having to watch pirate streams (which also exist for tokyo2020)
I’ve never been happy with YouTube search, did they change something recently?
Let’s call moderation what it actually is: censorship. And censorship is very much the path to tyranny, especially when done in collusion with governments.

Given that the event is in Japan, I'm curious why someone would hire a US-based service to stream it rather than just a Japanese based one.

Actually, I'm surprised the Olympics themselves don't have a direct subscription for streaming the entire event where people can sign up and stream it. I'm under the impression that the event is designed for the PHYSICAL audience first, and streaming it is kind of a poorly though out last minute thing.
Even if you manage to get access, the app is organized poorly and makes it difficult to find the content you want.

No argument with this. UI for short-lived events sucks, in general. Still, my elderly parents can use it. I'm not sure what people ITT want. I posted a simple solution for doing what TFA claims can't be done. For my trouble, I got downvoted to oblivion. I don't care about internet points, but if it hadn't been so downvoted there might have been a chance someone who genuinely wanted to watch Olympics might have seen it and been helped. I think maybe some other people just want to complain.
Good point. Misuse resistance is also why I am a fan of SIV constructions for stream ciphers, since "repeat a nonce = instant death" is a footgun.

Repeating a nonce is easier than you might think if you are using threads and accessing a nonce counter non-atomically, have a bad RNG, are on an embedded platform with bad RNG seeding, have a bug that overwrites some memory used to generate nonces, or just transfer a ton of data with the same key (birthday attack). SIV makes nonce reuse fairly benign. The only consequence is that if you happen to reuse a nonce with two identical messages, an attacker could tell that you sent the same message twice. That's generally not catastrophic and statistically is far less likely than repeating a nonce with different messages. Repeating a nonce with different messages generally does nothing in SIV.

You could theoretically use SIV with no nonce, with the only consequence being that an attacker could always tell if you sent duplicate messages. Not sure why you'd do that though.

IMHO since we now have ciphers that are probably "unbreakable for the foreseeable future" (e.g. AES and ChaCha) we should probably concentrate on creating and popularizing misuse-resistant constructions as much as possible. It's good to remove footguns.
I love to talk shit on huge broadcasters but using their app for the olympics has been amazing. I just watched 2 days of replays from their app, all with minimal or no commentary, and all with few commercials (like 1/30 minutes).

Not only do you get replays for literally every event, but they don't even spoil them with the final scores or results.

Edit: It looks like I failed to mention that cable is required so that's a huge caveat. Also some folks seem to get more commercials than I have.
