I agree that in this particular example of creating an instance of an entity, it's bad. It doesn't even make sense, like something you would set up as a strawman in a post about being too DRY.

What would be the point? To try and ensure that certain setup measures are taken in all cases?

Do people actually write code like this? Maybe this is a programming language culture difference, but I never see this pattern in my Python work, professional or otherwise.

I think my issue is that this post takes a very narrow view of what Boolean flags are used for. I would hope that they are not advocating against things like `fetch(url, verifySsl = false)` !
As far as I can see you already have a minification task [1] in your nimble file. May I ask you why you are not using it to save bandwidth both for your sever and your visitors?

Based on the book it was clear her legitimate sounding original business idea as a university kid, which put her in way over her head pretty fast, started to get scammy around the time Balwani signed on.

Balwani was also the guy all the employees talked about in most interviews as being the most malicious and firing people almost daily for trivial reasons. Elizabeth was always presented as hands off and kept to the office, only dealing with investors.

But even if Balwani was say 75% to blame, being even 25% to blame (which I highly doubt) with such a serious scheme it’s still no joke and seriously harmed both investors and their countless employees who bought into her idea.

She was the face of the business and always the critical piece of gaining investments and legitimacy from the press.

Her built up connections to politicians and Washington power-brokers was the reason Theranos lasted as long as it did. There’s no way she wasn’t fully aware that her vaporware needed a miracle to translate to anything real. Lying to yourself for years is no excuse, even if you believed it.

Holmes directly played a role in building the fake blood sampling presentations and schemes to hide their “real” lab from regulators with a carefully built office layout.

This is basically just buying her more time, which is all she ever did at Theranos. Reality will come soon enough I hope.
I've tried a variety of pronunciations. Trying for "au" as in "caught" got me "healthy" and once it opened PCalc(?!).

Pronouncing "au" like the "ou" in "ouch" seems to be about the best, but then it tends to mess up the other end, thinking I want "authi". Sometimes it even think "alfie". Somehow it even occasionally hears "elsewise" or "offline". I have no idea how it gets those.
Instead of asking the payment processor monopoly to censor things you don't like you can.... you know.... not indulge in things you don't like instead of ruining it for everyone who does like it?

The market speaks out with wallets not with hypocritical outrage nor moral high grounding nor virtue signaling and especially not straight up random censorship of legal buisnesses. And last time i checked onlyfans was wildly profitable and legal.
Under the proposed EU AI regulation, there's actually a requirement for source code to be provided to the regulators to review. Presumably it would be subject to an NDA to address trade secrecy concerns.
You are ignoring one important aspect, namely timing. The speed of light is well known so if the latency suddenly increases when accessing information that is not available at the MITM you know the connection is compromised.

Yes, size_t should be the limiting factor.
Twitter for instance automatically converts gif to h264.

However there is a point to be made that iOS only grants VP9 decoding to Youtube, certain colourspaces fail to decode on Android etc. ergo gif is a safe default.
Does the Toyota e-Palette have any kind of underrun (underride) protection system?

The esthetic front end seems designed for running over stuff. https://www.startyourimpossible.com/en-us/mobility

Trucks have extended bumpers and bars (front, side, back) to prevent stuff from going underneath.

Trains had cattle scoops.

School buses have crossing arms. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/School_bus_crossing_arm

Also reminds me of exercise machines eating children. Most recently Peloton's lack of safety guards.

Foreseeable, preventable, unforgivable.

Looks nice though.

Edit: Hmmm.

Am now unclear which vehicle is involved. Toyota's own website states e-Palette is a prototype. https://www.startyourimpossible.com/imager/products/e-palett...

Whereas the blurb for the APM https://www.startyourimpossible.com/imager/products/accessib... says:

APM (Accessible People Mover) is a mobility vehicle designed expressly for use at the Olympic and Paralympic Games Tokyo 2020. With the vision of "Mobility for All," APM offers a "one-last-mile" solution that helps transport as many people as possible to events and venues, including athletes and staff related to the Games as well as all types of visitors.

And here's their PR for the games:

And the APM definitely looks more safe.

> people who supported… political censorship

That’s a pretty loaded statement. It’s strange to me that someone can take a provable fact (e.g. COVID-19 is real), politicize it, and now spreading that misinformation is painted as political speech that should be protected.
Meh. Most consumers haven't done anything to need or deserve 1/100 of this performance
Correct, this is what we do on a reasonably large server (tens of thousands). Public channels are free game, staff channels are restricted from bots. Honestly I dont see a bot owner having a budget to store all that message data I store only very specific meaningful data. For example I have a bot where users can message our bot to contact our staff team. You can see why reading message_content is extremely useful. This allows mods to communicate to users via the bot and appear fully impartial.

Soon I fear my efforts are going to be thrown away because I dont want to expose personal information with Discord.

How long before we read a headline here on HN that someone hacked all Discords verified bot developer information? No thanks.
Ah, this reminds me of the days I spent writing RPL programs for solving electric circuits on my trusty old HP48 calculator. (It is said but nowhere officially confirmed that RPL stands for "reverse-polish lisp".) It was quite enjoyable _then_ and for _that_ purpose (programs designed to run in a specific UI environment) but today I wouldn't even consider starting a "serious" project in a postfix language. EDIT: https://factorcode.org/ is a modern postfix language.

Using weird languages DOES have one merit though: it opens your horizons. It teaches you to see a "conventional" programming language as a collection of mechanisms at your disposal instead of something "intended to be used to do X".

More to the point, I think that there are two types of languages: 1) those that encourage top-down design (that's how I learned programming with Pascal) and 2) those that encourage bottom-up design (such as RPL, these have often an interactive REPL.)

So actively using something like RPL or ML or Scheme (yeah, I've read ca 2/3 rds of SICP) allows you to turn C# "inside out", to apply bottom-up programming techniques. You don't create a class because "some OO principles tell you to do so" or because it came as godsend from some "architect", but because you understand workings of classes and a class is the right tool for the task at hand.

Also, there's no programming in the large without some mechanisms to control accessibility.
The reporting is this case is a little dramatized IMHO. As you can read here [0] they actually use the controller from the 980 Pro and more dense NAND, Billy Tallis from Anandtech filled in some missing technical detail. You actually gain performance in the random 4K case, which is important in day to day operations but you loose sequential write speed if you exceed the SLC-Cache of 115GB.

This differs quite significantly from WD silently changing the Blue drive from TLC (okay with Cache) to QLC which nets you write speeds lower than HDDs after the cache is full. Crucial did TLC->QLC on the P2 too, but you could get those drives for 30% less up until a week ago.

(edit) forgot to mention ADATA who switched the controller of their SX8200 Pro [1]

Then you might as well say that any riot or even a protest any of the people from these groups participate is an attempt to overthrow the government.
In this case, ships will be heavily loaded on the way down (carrying heavy produce) and lightly loaded on the way up (carrying lighter products like medicine or high value manufactured goods)
Shit like this boils my blood. Policymakers should focus on writing laws that actually help people instead of muddling around with technology they don't understand. If anyone doesn't understand just how ridiculous a proposal to regulate "AI" is, pull back the veil a tiny bit on that summary to see what the author is really saying:

> Opensource math is too dangerous and can't be left as it is. It's scary that everyone can just create math and we should make laws regarding this glaring issue. Proprietary math is more accountable, transparent and easier to fix than opensource math. Opensource math is more bias-prone by it's nature.

Plainly nonsense and I hope this worm doesn't get anywhere near a lawmaker's ear.
Agreed, the conspiracy idea here doesnt make sense. Through the last few decades puritans have attempted to exert control over video games, music, and film and failed at every step. I don't know why they would suddenly have this power over banks.
It is not possible to implement async/await efficiently and safely with macros, and so doing so would be “contradicting the language’s mission.”

They were considered and even originally built that way, but empirically it was worse.
Not legally an insanity plea, but FWIW it is an insanity plea - one that pleads that her actions were carried out by some agent of mental incapacitation.

Mr. Balwani is far from being any angel, but this sham show seems outrageous.
What’s the connection between her being abused and her defrauding investors?
Probably something along the lines of "Due to her PTSD Ms. Holmes felt that she had to make investors (who were mostly men) happy." And "she felt that she couldn't question her employees when they seemed to be lying."

So really what happened here is that a victim of men was just a messenger between the fraudulent employees and the demanding investors.
I'm an uninformed consumer but if I had to guess chip binning plays a huge part in the availability of parts. If a production line can produce X chips per day with 20% highest quality, 30% "mid range" and 40% "low end" (with 10% waste) you'll have 2x as many low end chips available as high end ones.
I had to update my TV to get the 4k resolution correct. Otherwise the screen was green-ified.
This is actually better for most consumers. The SLC cache was increased nearly three fold and the controller is a superior one (it now uses the same one as the 980 PRO). TechPowerUp[0] has a much better post on this, and you can clearly see there that the new one is better in most cases than the old one.

The only ones disadvantaged by this change are people who constantly write >42GB which I would think are video editors. (The old version would get a speed reduction to 1500MB/s after overflowing the SLC cache (42GB), the new one goes down to 800MB/s after overflowing (115GB))

P.S.: Not defending this, just clarifying because most posters here seem to believe it's a straight up downgrade. Should also be worth noting that Samsung changed the product box, product number, firmware version and the spec sheet for this change. So they're significantly better than the others who have done similar moves. That said, I still believe that they should have called this the 971 Evo+ or something, as it's genuinely different.

About what they used not necessarily what they use today, the author does call this out.

Just to clarify, are you saying that there is a Linux distro out there which you can install on a 2019+ model MBP which will not ruin the touchpad with multitouch and battery experience?
On the other hand, the type system of vanilla Haskell is not especially powerful compared to current stable Rust’s. It’s pretty much all GHC extensions where the real magic is.

OP is about how trolls seem to be jerks in real life.

Then someone says they miss the non-malicious strain of trolling, where the person wasn't a jerk.

Then you bring up an example of that, and he happens to be a jerk.

Seems relevant to the article. I didn't say anything about disbanding NASA, that came out of nowhere. And I have no idea what the rest of your comment (craigslist?) means.

On the contrary, they are doing it as society will blame them if they do not and they will suffer if it turns out they were involved in child pornography.

Banks are not moralists on a crusade. They love making money, but they fear risk. Dealing in the adult industry is a huge public relations and legal risk.
Not everyone had more or less the same lifestyle. If nothing else, you had central cities and peripheral towns and villages, and Russia vs other Soviet Republics (I know Ukraine got the shorter stick, to say the least for a very long time if not all the way to the end), etc.
In this case, OnlyFans made the choice (and reversed it), not the payment provider. Granted, they did it because of the payment provider, but Twitter etc don't make their decisions in a vacuum either, they react to different kinds of pressure.

That said, the same people made the same arguments ("private businesses, no rules should apply") with payment providers boycotting Gab, but turn around now. Will they learn that political pressure via businesses is a bad idea because it might affect them next? Doubtful, they haven't learned it the first few times.
The “correct” climate is the one human civilization is adapted to.
The market also leads to food full of fat and sugar. Without strong campaigns against cigarettes, the market would make sure it's everywhere. The market also has no problem showing deeply violent content to children.

At some point, the status quo was slavery, death penalty, child work, women domination and against gays.

Just because if you do nothing the current equilibrium tends in some direction doesn't mean it's the right thing to do.
Yes, once you make the connection between every single keypress invoking an elisp function, and the various help combinations (variables, functions, keystrokes as you mention), I think Emacs is actually the most "discoverable" editor that I've used.
Me too - which is ironic in this discussion. Not sure I am too convinced by it, it seems to derive from unfamiliarity with the alphabet. In small children at least familiarity with the alphabet is not the same as being able to read.
Ask HN: Anyone else seeing odd Google weather search results?
Just ran a weather search on Google and the results are unusual [0].

Specifically,

1. I can't get the "instant answer" with the weather graph to come up,

3. weather.com isn't even in the top results.

I tried in multiple browsers and all the same results.

>There were many, many lawsuits all of which were heard in court and ruled on.

No. Most of those lawsuits were thrown out without rulings. Generally, not enough process was given to investigate these allegations, which is why half the country supported Trump on Jan 6 until things got violent and moderates got cold feet.
Question I have is how much heat is generated by that power layer and as it is copper, shifting that behind the silicon - would we not see more thermal mass shifted to the backend of the CPU and with a focus upon the top of the cpu for cooling solutions - how would that pan out? Would we also need some heat-sink upon the base of the CPU. Would we see extra heat shifted thru the silicon layer with this process?

One aspect that I've pondered that would save power would be having the memory closer to the CPU and all that usable real-estate for slots upon the reverse of the motherboard. Sure you would be looking at new case designs in a way or existing ones with new design considerations upon the mounting plate to have gaps to accommodate sockets upon the reverse of the motherboard PCB. That without having to compete with the CPU airspace for cooling and in effect using the motherboard to zone things, could work out well.
Thank you. Looks like game is quite affordable since it is an old game.

> and business methods of sociopathic entrepreneurs

This being, IMO, the most important part. Holmes is not a Martian; she's a product of SV culture. While her scam was particularly brazen, I saw a ton of small things in _Bad Blood_ that I also saw in various founders and execs in startups I've worked for.

The disturbing thing is that her behavior, while extreme, is just that - an extreme on a fairly smooth gradient. A lot of successful firms have people who have done some nasty, gross stuff to get there.
You reply better than I could have but my reply was going to be in similar terms. Thank you. Your view represents me. What is the correct thing? What the media bombs us with all the time?

I think I have many reasons to not find media scientific enough to give a hell about them. These problems are difficult, take a lot of research and still, predictions are really difficult. But even if you have them, you still need to know the real causes. And even if that, humans are well-known for adapting well to the environment.

However, we have this fatalist attitude and willingness of people to impose rules to everyone even if we do not know what the right strategy could be.

Of course many ppl live from this stuff so they just use it as their business and take the rest for idiots.

I am still concerned. The toddlers have no choice. And living poor, the adult has few alternatives.
what a lot of people fail to realise is that emacs key bindings *are* consistent with other tools. Take a look at bash (or the korn shell): begin of line (C-a); end of line (C-e); kill rest of line (C-k). Emacs key bindings are the same.

If they didn't bring guns and open carry it wasn't a real revolution or they were really stupid either way they weren't storming the white house it was congress and the FBI was involved heavily with the events so you could say it was government sponsored.
If the vast majority of traffic flows directly between peers, with only an initial handshake requiring an external server, the system is somewhere between P2P and Client/Server. Depending on your goals this may be perfectly ok (e.g. if you want P2P connectivity for routing efficiency and throughput) or completely defeat the purpose (e.g. if you want P2P connectivity for censorship resistance).
> There's this common meme of blaming anti-sex-work sentiment on some bloc of US Evangelicals who secretly rule the Western economy and politics. Because surely, it couldn't be the market speaking out against adult material?

Strangely, the same evangelicals that are being allegedly discriminated against, and de-platformed [1], and their right-wing jewish allies [2] are also the same evangelicals that are controlling the big platforms, and through NCOSE, creating a pressure campaign [3] to form porn removal? That the Right Wing is executing this, and controlling this, for anti-porn? [4]

I don't think this is particularly credible, but I did include [3] & [4] for the contrary perspective.

A more realistic answer is that Nicholas Kristof, a well-known NYTimes reporter and author, wrote an interesting piece on Pornhub that also indicting several others for rebroadcasting non-consensual sex videos [5]. This led to pressure on the market in general around payment processors handling things of less repute because of #MeToo

> The market caters to majority case. Advertisers, especially, cater to majority. In such hypothetical world (which I posit might just be the real one), the market itself will exert pressure against overt pornography and sex work, and anything that associates itself with it.

Well said.

If the era of #MeToo has taught us anything, it should be that one person's sexual freedom to make a buck is another's sexual coercion and exploitation. In the grey between those two truths there will be casualties.
