Well, it is a collection of stories edited for morality - but where those stories originally came from is the extremely interesting point. The bible for example seems to contain two, dual, and opposing creation myths (genesis and the garden of eden) - these two stories almost certainly started out as different belief systems and were homologized.

Anyways, this article links to one about another impact at the end of the Younger Dryas period (~12k years-ago) (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-60867-w) - when global sea levels rise dramatically, the mega-predators of the earth vanish, human civilization seems to appear, and we're left with (metaphorical?) stories about mega-floods and mega-monsters.

There is a kernel of truth in all our rituals. As absurd as many of them are, they're like living history - a confused and tangled misremembering of... _something that actually happened_. And it makes one much more sympathetic to people who believed in an angry god if one understands they saw a city literally get smited from the heavens. Very interesting reading: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Younger_Dryas
I'm pretty sure there's more Warhammer 40k books than there are days in the year... It's like someone heard the term "space opera" and thought that meant "soap opera in space".

Recommendations would include comments like, "This novel is really the one that ties the previous 37 books together." or "You might want to skip the next dozen books if you're squeamish about things that ooze."

Same! Thanks Jim for all your work on A/UX back in the day. You made a huge difference.
The very idea is abhorrent to me, that we need civil forfeiture because the criminal justice system is inadequate to the task. If we can't take away ill-gotten gains in a court of law (and not by shenanigans like filing lawsuits against cash), then we're effectively stealing it.

> The MD should only see patients when absolutely necessary, the rest of the time a RN or CNA is completely fine

Today there are nurse practitioners with a four year undergrad in Nursing, 2-3 years of experience in hospital, and a 3 year full time masters degree (where fall and winter are spent in classroom and the summer term in the field). We are rapidly approaching the years of (relevant) schooling of an MD in family medicine...
> The PCR test is so broad that it indicates positive for:
1. COVID-19 infection 2. COVID-19 viral fragments 3. Coronavirus Common Cold 4. Influenza A 5. Influenza B

Do you have a reference for this? It appears they're been using multiplex tests for some time now.

> Over the pandemic I never had an issue finding basics like flour

flour was almost impossible to buy early in the pandemic in the US at least. Seemed like more of a demand side issue as everyone (including me) started baking bread at home. It took months for them to start having full stocks of flour again.
Captchas are the worst for this as a native British English speaker since they tend to be automotive, which is an area where British and American English differ wildly. Some are fairly self-explanatory because of how literal the American English terms are (pavement vs sidewalk, zebra crossing vs crosswalk) but some are a bit more arcane (central reservation vs median, bonnet/boot vs hood/trunk).
We crack down on religious flamewar regardless of which religion is being flamed or doing the flaming. This is one of the easier aspects of moderation, actually, because such flamewars are easy to identify and relatively easy to avoid.

It's common for people to believe that the community and/or the mods are biased against their side, but I can tell you for sure that anti-Christian rants aren't any more ok on HN than anti-any-other-religion rants. If you think you're seeing otherwise, the explanation is almost certainly a combination of:

(1) People tend to notice what they dislike and put a stronger emphasis on it - https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que.... This leads to false feelings of generality - https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que.... Usually the feeling is "the community (or mods) are biased against my side". Literally all sides end up feeling this. I guarantee you that people on the other side feel just as aggrieved about it.

(2) We don't see everything that gets posted and it takes time to moderate what we do see -

Now I need to ask you again to stop posting religious flamewar comments because you just did it again. If you keep that up, we are going to have to ban you.

They're saying that the total amount of stolen good isn't an upper bound on things that could be legitimately forfeited, because there's other ways to colors goods enough that they become subject to forfeiture. But that wasn't my argument or point.

Like how you put it, it's that the scope of forfeitures is bigger than stolen goods. The comparison is only useful to help give a size of the problem. The critique is in 2 parts: 1, at least a significant portion of civil forfeitures are illegitimate, if not most of them and 2 this isn't a small problem but instead on the same order as stolen property.
Battery wear, filesystem cruft, and solid state storage slowing down as it fills.

People complaining about their phones being slow have aged batteries, a nearly full filesystem, and have likely gone through numerous system updates.

On iOS it is trivial to move off files you don't need on the device anymore and then do a backup, full wipe, and restore.
That's because market prices are what they are, they don't depend on whether it's "gas electricity" or "nuclear electricity".

Now, if you produce electricity by burning gas that you import and gas prices go through the roof then your production costs follow and your stuck.

In the meantime, production costs of nuclear plants have not moved at all. Which makes controlling consumer prices much more doable and less costly, for instance, you can sell that electricity with improved profit margins (and France does export a lot of electricity).
Right, I'm onboard with your stated intent, and the lovely database, and even sympathetic on the cloud provider threat.

We had an issue at my previous company where our mobile game was crashing for like, one user. He had this whatever model of Samsung phone, but we had hundreds of people using that phone and no one else had issues.

Turns out that, despite the model numbers and identifiers being identical, this one phone in this one country in SE Asia had a slightly different GPU setup and there was a bug in the drivers it shipped with that was crashing our game.

So even though we worked with this user for like two weeks to try and figure out why it was just him, it turns out that it was because the Android manufacturer/carrier partnership situation is a gigantic mess for no discernible reason; the manufacturer didn't distinguish between two phones that had technically different specs, and the carrier didn't give a shit enough to ship the updated driver that would fix the issue.
Sadly, you can't enable CarPlay unless you enable Siri, and you can't enable/use Siri without uploading your phone's contacts to Apple.

I think it depends on the actual threat model.

It's a bit weird that HTTPS-everywhere was initiated in the aftermath of the Snowden leaks. If your enemy is the CIA or NSA etc, HTTPS probably won't help you: They can compromise your CDN or simply go for your hoster directly.

However, there are many smaller and more common threats against HTTPS provides significant defense that wasn't there before. In particular manipulative ISPs or public WiFis or third parties who are logged into the same WiFi as you and are capturing traffic. (Remember Firesheep etc)

That being said, I also believe there are some significant downsides to the HTTPS push (and also DoH, eSNI and friends) that browser vendors refuse to address. In particular:

- It's a huge driver of "platformisation" of the web: To access an increasing amount of browser features, you now have to rely on third party services - at the very least, you need a domain. This is particularly problematic for hobbyist projects, local-only networks and home servers.

- It normalizes a situation where network traffic is treated as a black box. It's a good thing if my ISP or the cafe I'm working in can't inspect my packets - it's highly problematic if my company's admin has no idea what is going on inside the network or if I can't even inspect traffic from my own devices. I'm seriously wondering who is protecting against what here. This seems less for protecting users against snoopers and more for protecting tech companies against their own users - which is really the opposite of privacy.
why not docker?
What’s hard to believe about this? Do you think the analysis is wrong?

Since you’ve given an anecdote, I’ll share mine.

I make more than the median income where I live. The closest place that matches 2x my income is more than 100km away from me and it’s a mobile home.

My current apartment is 3.5 times what I earn, but that’s because I bought it 5 years ago when it was 4.3 times what I earned. If I sold this apartment today, then someone earning the median income would be paying at least 7.5 times their income.

30+ years ago my parents bought a house for less than what I paid for my apartment. They also earned more than 2x what I earn now. So they might have been in a similar situation to you had they not gotten divorced. People buying that same house now have to pay 10-12 times income if they make what my parents did. Closer to 20 times income if they earn a median income.
Great point. I'm on a student visa which forbids any non-work income. That's one reason why :)

Are you actually saying that you would refuse to use a service (all other things being equal) that was $8/month because $10/month is what you think is "fair?"

If so, I'd mark that behavior as strange, and not actually evidence of the existence of a "fair price." There's no way this behavior is typical.

If what you're saying is that you'd assume a price lower than $10/month would have other, unseen problems, then:

1) You're not referring to a "fair price" but instead a believable price, which is a compromise between what you want to pay (which is nothing) and what you estimate to be the price of delivery, and the odds with that price in mind that what you receive will be adulterated/lower-quality than advertised.

2) How is $10/month fair? No wonder musicians don't make any money.

I suspect that dual income families could be a contributing factor in increased home prices of single-family homes.

Even 'worse' is dual income, no kid families that are delaying and skipping child costs. Thus with "double" the cash flow and shared costs, couples afford higher prices at a lower cost.
These some really great technology coming out of Russia in the information retrieval/database world: ClickHouse, a bunch of Postgres stuff that Yandex is working on, 2gis.ru (a super detailed vector map on a completely different stack to Google/MapBox), etc.
My bad I thought it was obvious.

Police don't have to file any charges to keep the cash. The onus is on the victim to file a claim. Average cost to file a claim including attorney fees is $3000. Average size of forfeitured property is $1400. Most people let go of that money and no charges are filed and hence we do not have any data on the question you have raised. Various states have refused to share this data as well making it hard to obtain.

If the cops have not seeked conviction and have not obtained it I would argue that it is just plain theft.

0% of it is justified because if they had a reason to suspect a crime they would arrest the owner and use criminal asset forfeiture.
And, if it’s near the coast, it can make drinking water or, at least, clouds that’ll rain somewhere inland.
Disproportionate incarceration is downstream* of disproportionate violence. Murder stats, which are relatively reliable since dead bodies are hard to disappear without careful planning and effort, demonstrate this. Why there's disproportionate violence in black communities need not involve genetics. Don't most people agree that black Americans got the short end of the stick historically? The ramifications include dynamics like shitty ghetto economies that make crime look like an attractive option.

*I do think there's plenty of racism, institutional and otherwise, embedded in the "justice" system itself. Sentencing disparities are a travesty. But it's more complex than you implied.

Regarding 3 I would figure either prices would have to come down, financial assistance comes from somewhere, or the house winds up being rented after being purchased by a management group.
Really depends on the type of house you live in. Typical heating costs for 50m^2 apartments in “Khrushchevka” type buildings (probably the dominant housing situation across most post soviet states) should be around 50 Euros per month this heating season in Lithuania. Average state pension is around 400 euros, so on average, heating should be 12.5% of that.
Adding onto this. You can actually ask Siri specifically the added stop and append "along the way", so something like, "Starbuck on the way". It has always found my requests on the route I was already on as well as the added time it will take away from me.
The issue isn't the DDL vs. DML.

The issue is the 'such as', which reads to me as indicating that providing an API endpoint that can add fields would also be a way of letting the customer modify the database schema and therefore covered.

Which means that building a SaaS app backed by timescale that has any level of customisation exposed to the user appears to be prohibited.

This seems a rather stronger level of prohibition than stopping people directly competing with you, and would suggest that if it's intended it would help to make it more explicit, and if it isn't then an explicit statement of that would be worth adding.
iOS 15 iCloud Private Relay Vulnerability Identified
> There are a limited number of ways to put ink on a page, but the 'rest of the owl' meme is all about how there's a lot more to it than that.

I'm not convinced. If you want to stick to the analogy, ML research looks like being able to draw a bunch of different animal parts and trying out different configurations of them; then once the drawing is done, you check whether you got close to an owl. That's what I meant when I said that there's little underlying theory to motivate the decisions that are being made (apart from the resulting performance of course).
iCloud photos are not E2E encrypted. Apple has announced no plans whatsoever to make them such. Apple, their sysadmins, and the government can see every photo you have in iCloud.

Apple had plans (and, an inside source tells me, an implementation) to do E2E for iCloud Backup, but the FBI asked them not to, so they scrapped it:

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-apple-fbi-icloud-exclusiv...

This undermines the credibility of those who are claiming, without evidence, that this clientside CSAM scanning is a prelude to launching E2E for iCloud data.
Can confirm - I went on a bunch of dives with a former Navy Seal and he used less than half the air on any given dive than the rest of us (who were all only regular or advanced certified) did. His explanation was that he'd just mastered the meditative mindset/breathing technique to use as little air and energy underwater as possible.

Same! Some of my favorite book recommendations have especially come from this one, I don't know why but a one line comment on a HN thread of "what book changed your life" has become my favorite way for discovering books.

You are mistaking intentions for outcomes. California's higher energy prices are in the name of climate change but disproportionately impacts the "outer groups" who live in colder climates and need to burn fuel to stay warm. Where as tesla driving coastal "insiders" don't have to worry too much about it.
Those coast lines are most likely either inaccessible due to environmental protection concerns, or just straight up not easily accessible — lots of cliffs on the West Coast.

Or just not very fun to be on. The beach cities of Southern California are blessed with having some of the most accessible beaches.
That act of communal mourning can also serve to reinforce social bonds among the living members of the group, at least in my estimation. I recently held a memorial service for my father (shakes fist at Parkinson's) but the thing that struck me was the younger members of our extended family experiencing some of that shared bond between the older ones, perhaps learning to appreciate their family members more. They hadn't known my father as brother or uncle but their parents and grandparents had.
A sense of belonging to something a bit larger than the individual experience... I have no scientific evidence to support these suppositions but it seems they must be real, to me.

My understanding was the only change initiated by AU was the submarine contract.

They were still very willing to continue to continue on the diplomatic & cooperation fronts.

It was the French who blew up that aspect because of the submarine contract. It doesn't seem right to point the finger at the Australians for that.
