Mayhaps it's because those aren't wildly contagious
The article claims is that stability on a national level involves a large number of these non-critical systems all working correctly on a systemic level.
Have you looked into https://github.com/slackhq/nebula? It uses X509 cert for auth.

Although for my home lab, using X509 is more of a minus than a plus due to complexity involved.
Is it any wonder that even broken and abandoned wind turbines need more taxpayer money thrown at them?
MACLISP, Interlisp, Emacs Lisp, AutoLISP, Franz Lisp, and Lisp 1.5 lack all of these except the garbage collector*. Common Lisp and International Standard Lisp additionally have static scoping and consequently closures. Those are essential characteristics of Scheme, not of Lisp.

______

* I'm assuming by "static binding" you mean static scoping; if you actually mean that the association between callsites and functions is statically computable, then it's not even true of Scheme.
Google Pay’s disastrous year continues, promised bank account feature is dead
I agree, that's what I told my friends, to just keep learning because if I could why wouldn't you. The point of my post is that I have realized how unhelpful that comment is because if someone told me that about music today... all I see is an insurmountable mountain ahead even though I've read quite a bit about it already

Mind you it's different with for example fluid dynamics or functional programming or even chemistry or biology, I have zero knowledge of it (nor interest) and all I know is that it's hard... but I know that if I spend years learning it I will succeed. I don't know how to explain this feeling I have with music - it's just foreign on another level

Factorio is driving me to upgrade my 2015 i7-5820K based computer. I've been playing with 2 sets of mods, "Bob's" and "Angel's" which increase the complexity of Factorio by at least 1 order of magnitude.

To run a base large enough to produce everything I want has dropped the speed from 60 updates+frames per second to about 40, with each addition further slowing the whole thing down.

It would be an interesting exercise to see how much complexity one could add to a Factorio map before the updates/sec start to drop. I'm hoping that a new AMD chip will be able to handle a much, much larger base/map before slowing down again. EDIT: To actually finish my thought here: You could test different CPU/RAM configurations with a series of maps of increasing complexity.

I would guess it's just a genetic glitch and not some conscious decision or purposeful design.
A company can simply decide to pay the carbon tax, though.

Actual penalties mean that you are actually risking your company if you don't comply. Fines are different if the folks in charge have to pay some as well, for example, and/or if they are a significant portion of profit (percentage of profit is a harder hit than a flat carbon tax that you can plan for if you would like). After fines? Jail times for those in charge and closing/auctioning off your business.

Carbon taxed don't do these things, and I'm not a believer in the market taking care of this since carbon taxed don't actually make anyone get more efficient than their competitors, who are only likely to get efficient if it is profitable. Carbon taxes themselves aren't likely to do this.
> Facebook is not 100% fault here (in fact there are others in this space). The fault is that we don't have regulation against something that is clearly detrimental to society. Change that, and Facebook will become better (or be replaced by something better).

Treating Facebook employees and executives like some kind of force of nature that isn't responsible for its actions is really a bit weird.
The people working at Facebook very much make these decisions and work with intent, which means they are at fault. They can be 100% at fault and we can still criticize the fact that we don't have enough regulations in place to protect society from companies like Facebook. Those two aspects are in no way mutually exclusive.

Model engineering (e.g. live steam) Woodworking? Small carpentry (e.g. non-critical structures, swings, playhouses, most decks (I think these usually require inspection, but not a liscence to actually build), chicken coops? I think in most places you can still build your own house, but it requires inspections.
It's because they treat music like a math problem -- something that only necessitates reading and writing. That's how you play math, after all, but that's not how music is played.

I can never be sure if I can participate, real life puts many constraints on availability (and quality) of free time. But I try. I usually tweet a "game design document" on saturday evening, and try to squeeze 5-8 hours over the weekend to get something done.

There are two ways to default. All at once or little by little. I think it is obvious that defaulting little by little is better.

There is a problem though. After the 2008 bailouts the default didn't even happen little by little.

Just look at Japan. You'd think that a real estate bubble that pops would also lead to the slow and steady erosion of debt. You'd expect maybe a 5% inflation rate to get rid of the debt.

Instead, inflation usually goes down after bubbles which means the default wasn't averted but spread over a period that keeps getting longer and longer with lower and lower inflation. Inflation is a soft default on debt but it isn't happening fast enough as inflation approaches 0% which is why I am in favor of negative interest rates.

They productise my data into targeted ads which they then sell, but I’m assuming that’s what OPs post meant by “selling data” considering the article doesn’t imply that Apple would literally sell customer information directly to another company (nor does this privacy change allow that).
To me learning music is very similar to learning programming concepts. In the beginning it can all be very abstract and you don't immediately see how new concepts fit into the bigger picture. Until at one point along the way it suddenly "clicks" and it all comes together.

I've witnessed several people experience their "aha" moment in programming and in music. Before that moment they struggle hard and some even lost motivation. After that moment they all started making progress fast.

Having an instrument available helps and if you're interested in learning music I suggest starting to play and experiment. Don't think too much about the theory and the details. Just have fun, play along to your favorite songs. Dig deeper here and there when a subject piques your interest. And then someday that "aha" moment will arrive and a new world will open up.
Facebook's terribleness runs much deeper than targeted advertising. It's been hostile and condescending to its users from day one.
People have this extreme sceptisism towards electric vehicles for some reason. They have been out for many years now and have performed just fine in cold weather. Yes, they have a reduced range, that can be solved with a larger battery. I could also imagine design where a small gas/diesel engine provides heat for the batteries and interior cabin of the vehicle, leaving the batteries to power the drivetrain entirely.
It doesn't have to be a conscious decision or purposeful design to be "there for a reason". Evolution tends toward solutions because the population that happens to be closer to a solution are more likely to survive. Nothing the op said was incompatible with evolution.
There's S.M.A.R.T. and a lot of freeware that can read it and tell you how much has been written to the disk. If only it were built into operating systems, with a graph, then you could set up warnings, like you can for overheating CPUs, etc.
Well, radio and cinema paved the way for modern mass propaganda. Sure, as a society we figured mass media out. The experiments involved a world war so. Sometimes I think that we will learn to handle social media, sometimes I worry about the damage social media, either directly or indirectly, do until we learned our lessons.

I think it’s the smug xenophobia of their zero Covid policies that people are irked by. It’s effectively calling the rest of the world unclean.

It’s eventually going to spread and take hold, but until then, their leaders get to bask in technocratic adoration.
So, for having a problem with this bug I need not only circular belts, but also letting them fill-up with mixed materials?

Well, I for one don't care about it. If you are letting belts fill-up with mixed materials you already have enough problems that you won't even notice this. And circular belts just aren't useful.
You were lucky to have a mild case. That doesn't guarantee that you'll never have a severe case. The odds of having a severe case could be low for you, but the odds of a negative reaction to the vaccine are almost certainly far lower.

It's just a lot safer to expose yourself to a small piece of a virus than the virus itself. Just like it's a lot safer to wear a seatbelt in a car, even though tons of people have gone their whole lives not wearing seatbelts and never suffered for it. We're talking about the difference between two small risks here, but there's a clear, easy way for everyone to lower their risk (except those who cannot receive the vaccine for medical reasons).

Tons of people have avoided the vaccine because they're confident they'll never, ever have a bad case of COVID, only to get a very bad case of COVID and big regrets. Others are living with the agonizing regret of having advised family members not to get vaccinated, only for those family members to die of COVID. [1]

Can Geoengineering Fix Climate Change?
"Lush" stands for "Lisp Universal Shell". It has not just S-expression syntax but recursion, setq, dynamic typing, quoting of S-expressions and thus lists and homoiconicity, cons, car, cdr, let*, cond, progn, runtime code evaluation, serialization (though bread/bwrite rather than read/print), and readmacros. Its object system is based on CLOS.

Lush is uncontroversially a Lisp.

However, the part of this that's relevant to the point I was actually making is that Lush uses S-expression syntax, which is less readable than, for example, Python syntax.
Labor activism isn’t a job role
>> FTA: They admit to being completely baffled about why the mamba would produce it.

It's because they are scientists. Scientists are always "baffled", in the news.
It falls under the "just transition" stuff.

It's not the autoworker or coalminer's fault and they and their communities should be considered in the solution, not just trampled over, for both political reasons and for basic justice.

Ask HN: Do you track what you consume (online)?
like Articles, Videos, Movies, Documentaries, Magazines, Courses, Journals etc or just go by what algorithm feeds?!
Exactly what the marketers thought.

The point I took from the article is that you have to factor in what you would have gotten for free.
That's why they're working on scaling.

Available now but still working on adoption/UI: rollups, which essentially compress the data on chain. Those bring transaction capacity from several dozen to a couple thousand tx/sec.

In a year or two, data sharding, which multiplies the capacity of rollups. That takes throughput to 20K-100K tx/sec.

With that in place, quadratic scaling kicks in, where hardware improvements multiply both the capacity of shards and the number of shards, so e.g. a 3X hardware improvement means a 9X capacity improvement.
You recall correctly. It was an orchestrated deplatforming.
In fairness the UPS drivers skepticism is well founded and possibly reflecting back on them in the form of karma and Murphy's law. They poke fun at the Tesla drivers that often get stuck on the side of the road from dead batteries. I find this fascinating as I understood the cars could tell you that you won't make it to {destination} on the current charge.

A hybrid solution does sound like a great idea. Are Rivian planning on doing this?

Hmmm, seems like there's more to this story and the group involved that we're not yet hearing.
I used the exact title from the article and someone changed it. (I did forget to include the date. That was a mistake and thank you to whomever fixed it.)
Climate activists always tell me “weather is not climate” from one side of their mouth while also screaming about extreme weather events as proof of climate doom from the other - I just started tuning it all out.
So - if I followed that correctly the parts you can’t change are the front-camera assembly that includes faceID sensor, and the screen that includes the touch panel (that you use to enter passwords and PINs).

I would assume Apple’s justification is that this is to meet security requirements, particularly given a phone is now commonly used for contactless payments.
Your doctor wouldn’t say that. Your doctor would prescribe you polylepiscin or some other vaguelly medical and scientifical sounding name. You wouldn’t know that the compound originally was found in black mamba venom unless you like geeking out on medicine history. (And if you like geeking out on that you would already know that nearly all drugs comes from weird things.)
People aren't skeptic about EVs, people are sceptic/afraid of change.

The title is not good--lots of meds are betting than morphine...that's why we have all the other opioids: hydromorphone, fentanyl, remifentinil, sufentinil, oxycododone, etc.

If you look at the Nature abstract linked from the news article, all they claim there is that the analgesic effects can be, "as strong as morphine."

This also a protein which is inherently more expensive and difficult to turn into a drug compared with a small molecule.

I know people on Medicaid. The coverage is very spotty, super bureaucratic and it’s hard to find a doctor who will treat you. Definitely not a desirable thing
> To be fair, isn't this how every generation looks down on the next generation?

Values are always subjective. However, I would not classify their comment as an example of my-generation-good bias. Any form of media that inspires obsessive behavior is bad. In the previous generation, people didn't listen to warnings against obsessive gaming. No wonder it's leading to suicides nowadays.

So, they kept the browser with the worst security record in history, where one page could own your entire system, because it gives them the means to manage (some of) its security?

Ok, looks like business as usual.
They probably believe it’s still September.
It’s even worse - many home routers will simply disable ipv6 if the ISP gives /64.
It was "not telling the whole story" that sounded like attributing it to malice, but if you meant that part of the reason was making the phone smaller than I agree.

I imagine (but know little to nothing about these ratings) that the more holes and crevices there are, the harder it is to be water and dust resistant. Modularity and the USB port add these, the jack might have pushed it over the limit, and when forced to choose between those three, the jack seems to me to be the sensible one to sacrifice. Still a shame, of course.
Unfortunately I think other companies would still be happy hiring ex FB developers. They still are ex FAANG, and they showed to give moral and principle the rear seat when it comes to revenue and business. Why wouldn't these folks be hireable?
I went to bootcamp and outperform people with master's degrees that don't even understand why a hashmap is amortized O(1) every day. You got ripped off paying for school so take your degree and shove it.
"They poke fun at the Tesla drivers that often get stuck on the side of the road from dead batteries."

Is that common in your area? I do live in the city, but in my entire life I have never seen a Tesla on the side of the road.
They don't. There's an element of artificial/forced "futurism" in their appearance, generally: rounded bits in the wrong places, weird curves/shapes to trunks and lights, etc. Not to mention the poor and shoddy interiors. Tesla looks like it was going for a hospital surgery room level of sterility in the cabin--no thanks.

> Every qualified person I've heard talk about this said the opposite. "Top-20 school" isn't how professors or large industry labs evaluate a PhD, they will look at the advisor's reputation and the specific lab.

While I think this is technically true, academics care a great deal about pedigree, in the “he/she went to $FAMOUSLAB, they must be a great scientist” kind of way. The most productive, well-funded, and well-known labs tend to be at the top institutions. I wish it wasn’t this way, but that’s how it is. If you want to maximize your chances of being successful in academia post-PhD, then you have to go to one of these places. For industry, I don’t think it matters as much.
I am told it is. This is by a couple UPS drivers. They could be telling my tall tales. I can only take them at their word. I will ask them to get pictures next time they see this.
That was my raw reaction. I wouldn't speak up publicly if it was merely some weak technology or overhyped product. Such things would be fixable, and at worst only affect people who use them.

Blockchains are way worse than that. I think PoW cryptocurrencies are way past any benefit of the doubt, are actively harmful on a large scale, and any promotion of them is shameful. Cloudflare crossed the line here.

For Cloudflare this may be just yet another marketing and SEO piece, but it is giving legitimacy of a large tech company to the blockchain nonsense. People researching the buzzwords are going to see that a successful company powering a big chunk of the actual Web says "Web3" and NFTs are legitimate. This blog post is going to end up in a thousand pitch decks for more buzzword-salad ponzi-scheme tokens, and drive even more coal-purchasing fiat money into the massive waste of energy and silicon.

The future of the Web may very well be in p2p and content-addressable protocols, and Cloudflare is likely to be exploring it, but it's absolutely irresponsible to even suggest PoW blockchains to be any part of it.
If the robbery involved an unmanned store, it is unreasonable to get anybody but the police involved. No human life is worth any amount of goods.
Have you noticed that search engines suck?

Citation formats are an attempt to end up with a search engine that doesn't suck. (They can do lots of other things along the way.)

Options:

1. Accept any format and try to turn it into your own internal representation. Problems: (a) your own representation is a citation format; (b) you need to write an infinite number of converters and hire an infinite number of trained people to work out the edge cases.

2. Accept a limited number of common formats. Problem: your search engine will not be useful for a majority of the corpus.

3. Convince everyone that your new citation format is unstoppable. Problems: (a) convincing everyone; (b) actually having that citation format cover, say, 99% of the cases; (c) XKCD#927 (Standards).

Dublin Core is/was a terrible attempt at a type 3 solution.
Not providing proof and just anecdotal experiences won’t do your argument any good. Especially because that’s exactly how Ad companies/agencies got here in the first place, by saying it works without clear, verifiable ways to prove it: “yeah, it works, trust us, but we won’t let you see the data”
