I firmly believe you are mistaken as to the meaning of the word defamation, to quote a dictionary (emphasis added) https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/defamation

> the act of communicating false statements about a person that injure the reputation of that person

True statements are not defamatory as a matter of the meaning of the word in common language.

Calling out bad actors is not a "cheap shot", it's a useful social service. On HN we should demand better sources that do not come from known bad actors.

A cheap shot would be some sort of unfair attack on his character, e.g. calling out random cases where he called the outcome wrong (which inevitably happens if you comment on enough cases).

If you want to read well written and thorough criticisms of some of his older posts, you can, for example, pull up old groklaw posts about them (which did take the time to disassemble the arguments step by step and criticize them).
If propellers are more efficient, then why do airlines use jet engines? Noise? Reliability?

There's a reason jet engines completely dominate the market for commercial airliners. Would making the propellers electric change that?

78% ICU utilization is about the base load for ICUs.

Hospitals are businesses. They don’t just create tons of empty ICU beds and then never use them.

If you are getting your information from for profit blogs and magazines then I’d suggest doing a quick analysis on their motivations. Do you think they have more motivation to get you to click on their products, or more motivation to give you valid (but boring) information?

Most of the states (all? I’ve looked at a lot of them) have some for of data dashboard that will give you a better overview of this. I’d highly suggest checking those instead of twitter/blogs/etc. It might not give the data that you are hoping for, but that’s kindof the behavior that is the problem (seeking out blogs and magazines that confirm your priors)
> One of the problems of having multiple servers is that netsplits can occur.

In the early/mid 1990s, the IRC servers in Australia would split from the IRC servers in the US all of the time (sometimes Europe would break from the US as well). The Internet connection between the US and Australia was slower and flakier back then. It made lots of sense for Australians to be on Australian IRC servers and Americans to be on US IRC servers, and to all be talking together when the link was working (the majority of the time) and to not be when the link broke (fairly regularly). The CAP theorem says something has to go in those cases, and the thing that went was consistency between US and Australian (or European) messages sent to a channel - the messages from the other side of the split would be dropped during the split.

I don't remember many technical netsplits on Freenode or Libera in recent years, so it is less of a thing now. IRC servers were always federated, so there was the original split of Anet and EFnet, and the Undernet split, then the EFnet/IRCnet split which revolved around those US/Europe/Australia issues. More recently there was the Freenode/Libera split.

IRC's model always worked for me.

Stories like this make me tell my family to make sure i never fall into the hands of doctors. "DNR orders" and the like are not enough, when you're in the hospital they will drug you and tag team people to argue how much you need to rescind one.
America has two radically different concepts of freedom that travel under the same name. Both start with "I should be free to do as I want". One ends with "as long as I don't harm others". The other ends with "regardless of harm to others". You were dealing with the latter.

It of course sounds insane when you say it baldly like this, which is why it rarely gets stated openly. But a lot of traditional societal structures depend on harm to others, so there's a big constituency for the suffering of others when it benefits the speaker.
> The performance of a graph traversal in all current implementations will be at best equivalent to a well crafted join at worst much slower.

A join must be implemented with a loop / scan to find the relevant target rows by foreign key - This is why foreign keys pretty much have to be indexed, to give the scan any hope of acceptable performance. So, remember, a join in a relational database generally means a join PLUS an index lookup.

If it's not clear, indexes are not free - they have storage cost as well as imposing a cost on writes to the table. Indexes also make lookup very very fast, but still not free. On a large table, you may be incurring the cost of 20-30 comparisons to find the desired rows (note that this is not a made up number. Assuming a btree index which reduces lookups to O(log_2(n)), you will need 20 comparisons to find a record in a table with 1,000,000 rows, and 26 comparisons to find a record in a table with 100,000,000 rows.)

Graph databases (at least neo4j) always talk about index-free adjacency. Now you hopefully understand what this means. The edge between two nodes in a graph database is stored directly with no need for an index to find the destination node - the traversal is index-free. This can be a tremendous advantage, and that's also not made-up. You can subtract the cost of index lookups that I gave earlier .

How about this way to automatically address the Eternal September problem:

When you upvote an item - you connect stronger to people who upvoted that same item.

When you downvote an item - you connection to those who upvoted it becomes weaker.

The content is ranked based on how strongly you are connected to people you upvoted each item.

That way when a lot of clueless/uninformed people come in and start upvoting useless to you content - they don't create noise in your personalized content list.

The content you see comes from people who have proven to find useful content for you.

We're not in a court... legal definitions are not the relevant ones.

Edit: Though now that you mention it, here is blacks law dictionaries definition, emphasis added

80% lower? My numbers are about ~90% higher? (I’m dumb! I put an extra zero). Typically premium was sold at a 10% premium so percent margin was maybe 70-80% higher?

But I also acknowledge that gasoline sales are very location dependent. Where I was the major brands took most of the sales. But again, you’d sometimes find an independent in a prime location who must have been making $500k per year. I did books at a very busy station where the owner made ~$200k in today’s dollars

> If I want to hire a car, I generate a one-time code.

The GP comment said "driving a car," not hiring one. It's not clear to me why you responded to a different assertion, and I can't find anything that supports the idea that you don't need to show a driving license while driving if it's requested.

https://www.gov.uk/stopped-by-police-while-driving-your-righ...

"If you do not have these documents with you, you have 7 days to take them to a police station. You’re breaking the law if you do not show the requested documents within 7 days."

> You can go into just about any library and read a book without showing a library card.

If I may be so bold, I think it's fairly reasonable to understand their comment (in the context of requiring ID) as referring to checking out/borrowing books from a library to read, rather than simply reading them in a library.

See, this is why I can't quit my HN addiction. Occasionally someone will post something like this, and I end up going to Wikipedia, and pretty soon I'm adding a bunch of films to my to-watch list.

But I have zero familiarity with his work (maybe I saw The Grandmaster? I saw some movie about Ip Man... actually it was probably just Ip Man...) so I would need some help to actually understand your reference. Given that his parents fled to Hong Kong in advance of the Cultural Revolution (says Wikipedia), I have to assume that they had some resources, would have been more on the Revolution's receiving end, and might have been more sympathetic to meritocratic order -- and maybe their son absorbed some similar opinions? Am I on the right track? (Probably not, simply given my ignorance.)

So, I'd be grateful if you could explain what the heck you meant :-) ... but I'd also just take a film suggestion!
That’s what happened in Western Europe.
IMO Java modules feature is failure. I'm using Java and I've yet to find a single library using modules. I know that they allowed to modularize JVM, yet I've yet to find any advantage of this fact either. Everyone still downloads and runs an entire JVM. And it's not like JVM become slim and tiny, it's still hundreds of megabytes. Those who need slim apps, use GraalVM which does some kind of tree shaking, AFAIK, rather than relying on modules.

All that work, which broke plenty of Java applications, violating main Java mantra of backward compatibility, all for nothing.
That's strange, I'm getting a TLS certificate error when I visit that website now. Is it just me?

Verification apps should check the issuer. But you can issue and sign your own vaccine codes trivially.

Some apps will go a step further to check that the issuer is “trusted.” For example, there is a good list of issuers considered trusted here:

https://github.com/the-commons-project/vci-directory/blob/ma...

The most popular reader app I know of will mark issuers that are not on this list as “Partially-verified.”

I’m not going to get too deep into this because it’s clear that HN is, for some reason, very antagonistic toward any discussion on the matter unless some correct permutation of words is used. Nonetheless, I’ve researched this quite a bit. Anyone can make and issue their own SMART Health Card.

Well said. It took me years to understand this. You don't need to understand every last detail in a book to get to work. I'm a great C and C++ programmer, but when it comes to web based applications I would say I'm merely better at knowing where to fidget with the code first, rather than knowing what's really going on.

Train yourself where the best places to massage the code are and most solutions can be found within minutes.
Because the python/numpy/tensorflow/Pytorch ecosystem is the deep learning ecosystem. You write a book on what you know, and what the audience wants. And everything they do here has tools that work just fine in python, no need to switch to Julia.
And as someone who does this sort of work as my job, I can tell you the tool chains we use for what could be considered “industrial-scale” applications do not yet have appropriate Julia-based replacements.
The CF6 is a gas turbine engine, not an aircraft.

Virtually all aircraft engines outside of very small personal planes are gas turbines. This includes turboprops, helicopter applications, all commercial aircraft (turbofan) as well as fighter jets.

The primary difference is how the thrust is used. If mechanical energy is required a power turbine is used - as is done in the LM6000.

The LM6000 is the industrial version of the CF6 (the cold section is largely the same). The thrust is converted to mechanical energy using a power turbine. I included this link instead of the CF6 since it provides a direct reference to power output in MW (i.e. not thrust).

I really appreciate your in-depth comment and suggestions!

I agree, it was a first pass to make the data available. I have since created a new '/api/natural/' endpoint that allows you to query by translation short name, book number, chapter number, and verse number. I figured having the unique IDs would allow for less cumbersome endpoint URLs `/api/verse/123` instead of having to always drill-down starting with the translation `/api/translation/ASV/book/1/chapter/1/verse/123`.

I'll definitely look into merging the URL pairs. I think that would be really useful.
Well... in the case of sight reading maybe 8 is extreme. But even with that specific skill, it gets exponentially more difficult to learn after your teenage years. I follow a web forum for the instrument that I play, and people who learned it informally have talked about their attempts to learn sight-reading as adults. I actually get some work because I've managed to maintain my reading chops over the decades.

An ELT signal was detected a couple of minutes before the first impact and another was detected a couple of minutes before the second impact. Both were detected from Lower Manhattan. Furthermore, nothing was detected from either plane at the moment of impact. This is a bit too much coincidence for me. I have no idea what could have caused this, but you have to blatantly ignore a number of red flags to swallow the official explanation.
It sounds like you're looking for a book which will help a novice programmer develop logic skills through programming projects. Is that correct?
Those problems were solved for cars, they can be solved for planes. We shouldn't use it. Bioaccumulation of heavy metals was understood very early. Everything has a cost, spraying lead everywhere should be higher than what we are willing to pay.

I am guessing it's still allowed because people who fly planes can afford to lobby.

I was astounded to find TEL was still allowed in aviation fuels. Rates of cancers etc are higher near military bases due to fuel handling incidents.
There are a lot of misconceptions here, both in the original article and many of the comments. Most of them derive from assuming that this is some type of "crime" situation that automatically falls into the purview of the civilian courts, with Miranda rights and all that stuff. That is wrong. A completely separate system of jurisprudence is involved.

There are two basic statuses for captured combatants. The first is "prisoner of war". There are rules about how POWs may be treated, but they don't include anything like a "fair trial". It is, in fact, illegal to put POWs on trial. Instead, they are supposed to be treated humanely and repatriated after hostilities have ceased. The catch here is that to be entitled to POW status the combatant must abide by the so-called laws of war, including bearing arms openly in the field (i.e, not hiding among civilians) and wearing a uniform or other insignia recognizable at a distance (something like a purple armband would be enough -- it just has to be something that clearly identifies you as "not a civilian" as seen from a distance).

The second status is that of the so-called "unlawful combatant". This includes pirates, spies, terrorists, or anyone else who engages in hostilities without wearing a uniform or insignia, or who engages in other actions in violation of the laws of war (for example, deliberately attacking civilians, hiding among the civilian population, falsely wearing a symbol that indicates that the combatant is a medic, and so on).

Unlawful combatants have no rights of any kind. They may be detained indefinitely (even after hostilities have ceased), tried by a military tribunal, or even be summarily executed on the spot when captured.

This basic framework has been the rule for centuries, and was most recently codified by the Geneva Conventions. It's not some new policy that the United States made up.

Side note, besides its anti-knock properties, the lead also had protective effect on the valves - with early metallurgy, the high temperature gasses wore out valves, in particular the exhaust ones; lead partly ameliorated that. It is a concern with older vehicles (aircraft and cars) and they may require leaded gasoline for that particular reason - or at least replacement of relevant engine parts.
