Short answer: in the U.S., it will depend on the facts and circumstances. Common law has many drawbacks. But organic adaptability is one of its advantages.

They're mostly on islands so it's very unlikely they matter at all outside of their island. If Hawaii had never been discovered, we wouldn't have to worry about losing them.

I live in a country filled with endangered "native" species but after I grew up, I learned that many of them are basically the same as common species in nearby countries, so similar that even the experts keep disagreeing on whether they're the same species or not.

If their numbers are already extremely low for a long time and everything else is doing fine, it's unlikely they're "pillars of their biome".
Actually new vehicles are legally required to have backup cameras. At least if they are sold in the US [1]. I would love to see a simple, back to the basics vehicle but there is so much regulation and safety requirements that it is unlikely for any basic vehicle to be sold in the US.

Colin (EdgeDB employee) here. We're happy to announce the first release candidate of EdgeDB 1.0! We'll be releasing RC2 in a couple weeks, followed by a stable release shortly thereafter.

Quick TLDR of what we're trying to build: we think some of the design choices in SQL are holding back relational DBs from providing the best possible developer experience. Namely: non-composable syntax, OOP-incompatible (and ultimately unnecessary) concepts like foreign keys and JOINs, and the lack of first-party migrations. The lack of these things is what drives developers to ORMs and other non-optimal abstractions. See a previous HN discussion of EdgeDB and our query language EdgeQL here [0].

We’ve received a lot of great feedback on HN over the years. Feel free to check out some recent threads about the design of EdgeQL[1] and the limitations of SQL[2].

No parasitic power losses and it's one less system that needs to be maintained.
Correction: they make it possible for people/entities who can afford to waste most money to get them instead of those first/lucky. But how is that a better outcome? And why should this involve people spending more money, and all the delta going to the person who was first in line or in lucky position to secure a loan and buy off all the supply?

> Also, damn every ISP and every router company that doesn't 100% support IPv6.

It's extra development and extra testing (in fact it's way more testing due to the combinatorial explosion of IPv4/IPv6 interface schemes).

That comes at a cost.

> ISPs and endpoint network devices are the only reason we don't have IPv6 more prevalent, combined with NAT, CGNAT etc. being good enough to keep the net hobbling along.

ISPs & endpoint devices are the majority of the Internet, as far as complexity is concerned. Upgrading the equipment for HW-acceleration of IPv6 (parity with IPv4) is very costly.
Yes. I bought this on vinyl when it first came out. This was my first introduction to King Crimson. And surprisingly, when I bought Court of the Crimson King in college, I could hear the thread that connected their first album to the first album by them I ever bought. The more I listened to it, the more I took it apart, the more I broke it down, it remained consistent.

I still think it's good!
I wish you were here to hear it!
Ironic how by 'saving money' without the human driving the car, they end up probably spending a mountain more on engineers debugging this software constantly along with cleaning staff and maintenance for the entire fleet, legal staff for regulatory issues, and no doubt a huge insurance bill to pay. Sunk cost is a strong fallacy to see past I guess.
Ah, understood! CSV is funny, it seems like a more trivial thing than it really is, and its human readability sort of invites broken approaches in a way that something like Parquet would not.

Educators are, by conventional understanding, supposed to educate. These lists contain books that either have educational value, or are otherwise instrumental in the educational process (read: books that cause children to develop positive reading happens, typically by containing fantastical elements that Christian groups disapprove of).

This is what distinguishes TKAM (a selective choice, given that the overwhelming majority of the books in TFA are much newer) from Mein Kampf.
There’s also the issue that newer cores run much hotter than ever before. The chiplets in my new Ryzen 7 5800X are so small that even my custom water loop can only do so much with the temperatures as there just isn’t enough surface area for thermal transfer. I was honestly worried that I was repeatedly messed up the mount of the CPU block, thermal paste application, or that one or both were just bad when I fired up HWInfo64 and did a burn-in test; my old Ryzen 5 1600X didn’t get near as hot on a 240MM AIO when overclocked as the 5800X does doing normal boosting on a 360+240mm custom loop.

I've seen signs of this very thing even right here on Hacker News.

We're all capable of getting stuff wrong, but we've become so tribal that the falsehoods our "side" states just become inconvenient truths that we can't admit to as a people.

Taibbi is hitting on something that only the web and tv could create in tandem.

The loud, moronic voices in a crowded room would just create a silent majority making eyes at them and walking away from them. But when this happens on the internet it creates the illusion these are the only voices, these are the only camps and after a decade of this (or more) people start getting sucked into it and perpetuating it themselves and joining a side.

What would be 2 assholes yelling at each other in said crowded room has turned into a cold holy war between these growing camps.

i fear for the future my son is raised in. Not just b/c we're headed into a Dark Age where tribalism matters more than reality - but because this is just going to keep escalating until it breaks up the country. I don't see an out from this.

The internet was a mistake.

No, it doesn’t contradict daemon-less (wrt resources used by the daemon). This “daemon” only runs activated by a systemd socket for a few seconds. Whereas Docker CE always runs at least containerd (dockerd is also socket activated).
You could argue that conmon is the daemon of podman and every container has its own daemon. It’s a bit wasteful wrt memory but that how it’s designed.

They could only do that by cornering the market, but if there are many competitive scalpers, then the price is right and that's just normal supply (at the source supplier, not the scalper) and demand.

> Who is liable when someone gets hit with a self driving car?

While this is not exclusive of other liability, probably one or both of:

(1) The person hit, if they were breaking the law in a way which made it unreasonable to expect a driver to avoid hitting them,

(2) The manufacturer of the self-driving vehicle, under normal defective product liability principles.

The owner and/or, where different, operator of the vehicle, as well as other people in the chain of commerce may also be liable, especially when (2) applies.
You can also put a similar code block at the start of a general processing entry. This applies on both flat (uniform record) and hierarchical (multiple record-type) data.

E.g.:

{
name = $1
dob = $2
grade = $3
# ...

# Do stuff with name / dob / grade, etc.
}

If the data are structured, so that there are multiple record types (typically defined by prefix or some other regex) you can put variable assignments within each block.

/^rectype1/ { var1 = $1; var2 = $2, ... }
/^rectype2/ { varA = $1; varB = $2, ... }

I prefer to leave BEGIN blocks for defining constants or tables and such.
The word “telemetry” can mean a lot more than “detailed usage data to inform design decisions”

I’m talking extremely basic things, like, what are the most popular crashes in the app? Which did I introduce in the most recent version?

Thank you for that statistic from 50 years ago. I'm talking about today. Companies like Blue Origin, SpaceX, etc. are basically a rotating pool. I have personally wound up working alongside several coworkers from previous jobs, and none of us were referrals. It's such a common experience that it's become something of a running joke.
Equilibriums don’t just happen by themselves. When there isn’t an equilibrium, delaying sales by keeping inventory helps the people who didn’t plan ahead.

The ant planned ahead for the winter, the grasshopper didn’t, and the scalper provides a service to the grasshopper, for a price.
Yes we use GCP for production workloads and enjoy the benefits of being to scale at will. I'm strictly speaking about hosting large multi TB datasets and running machine learning training jobs that end up costing thousands of dollars each.
> Well, they provide value. They make it possible for people/entities who needs things the most to actually get them instead of those who happen to be first in line or in lucky position to get access to supply.

True - they also take on some risk of being stuck with inventory that they can't resell at a profit (if prices drop between when they buy and sell).

Ethically scalping feels wrong, but I think ethics aside, scalping does provide a service to the market.
Um, yes. His book. "The Fifth Generation - Artificial Intelligence and Japan's Computer Challenge to the World" lays out his position.

Well I am Greek and had read a lot of stuff also at school about it. In ancient Greece they were considered as such. How do you know it's a trope? Statistical data?
It gives you mitigation strategies.

The mere presence of it on the dev workflow keeps your developers thinking about these types of issues as well, which goes a long way.
You're indeed a horrible person, but at least an honest one. Seeing planetary scale habitat destruction and the wiping out of the complex web of life that took hundreds of millions of years to evolve, all in a single century, really is quite a win indeed.

Besides individual extinctions, most of the 2 millions or so other species are in deep decline. The IUCN's most positive status for a species is "least concern", really quite telling.

You'd have somewhat of point if a reasonable quality of life would only be possible at the direct expense of other species and habitats, which is not the case.

We sacrifice the world's jungles and its massively complex and old wildlife systems for palm oil. Which is absolutely not an essential requirement for human life at all.

Most other forests are sacrificed to plant crops. Not for us, to feed cattle. So that we can eat beef, the least efficient food. There are alternative meats, less eating of meat, or none at all.

We scrape the ocean floors, use electricity or even dynamite to fish in such a way that collateral damage is off the charts.

We spread our filth (plastics) across the world, it's now found at the poles and even at the bottom of the deepest oceans.

We do trophy hunting on already rare animals for superstition or a quick profit.

None of the above things are required for us to have a reasonable or good quality of life. They are short-sighted, careless and aggressive profit optimizations with disastrous and irreversible consequences. And even if you still don't care, those profits won't end up in the workers pocket or in yours.

No, wildlife habitats do not have to be stripped bare or otherwise we'd go hungry. It's bullshit.

It probably mattered a lot more 10-15 years ago. A modern CPUs toward the higher end of consumer grade equipment is so powerful it's ridiculous.

Thanks for providing the US PE perspective. There are definitely people practicing as PEngs and apprenticing as EITs up in Canada under both the software engineering and computer engineering disciplines. So there is some value up here to those.

Undergrad covers irrelevant material such as humanities, social sciences, and communication that add cost and time to an education. Or at least that's the argument people enrolled in computer science majors where I graduated put forth.

Again, the American perspective is useful. I had no idea you would be bound to one employer during the apprenticeship process. In Canada, employees are free to move around.
How important is it for networks to provide DNS servers? Couldn't a device usually get away with just using 2606:4700:4700::1111 or 2001:4860:4860::8888 all the time with SLAAC? Also, what about RDNSS?
I don't understand why this is portrayed as some sort of false dichotomy.

There can be government regulation without reverting to socialism. There can also be systems of checks and balances to both the ills of unfettered free-market economics and government power structures.

I'd love to see these vehicles handle situations where pedestrians or debris are all over the road. Like in front of a busy bar, construction area, or homeless camp. To the best of my knowledge the environments they've been test driving in have been pretty controlled and orderly and they still manage to find people to run over.
"Pitt et al. (1990) examined about 1,000 urban crashes with pedestrians younger than 20 years of age taken from NHTSA's Pedestrian Injury Causation Study (PICS) data. They found that, compared to crashes with vehicle travel speeds of 10 - 19 mph, the risk of serious injury (or death) was 2.1 for speeds of 20 - 29 mph, 7.2 for speeds of 30 - 39 mph, and 30.7 for speeds of 40 mph or more."

Well, you're right that there are two issues, and it's perhaps unfortunate that ISRG chose to arrange that they happen next to each other (but to be fair I don't think we pressed them to do anything else back when it would have been possible, although I'm behind on some reading I don't think I'm that far behind)

But, in both cases Firefox's choice works out for it regardless. And unfortunately I believe -- though it's hard to tell for sure -- that some other browsers get the missing certificate case wrong, perhaps for a few hours and perhaps much longer. Lacking a guiding hand, they may end up choosing to "validate" the R3 -> DST Root CA X3 case which can't work. I think some logic will eventually expire this useless data and those browsers will work, but obviously that's not helpful if your site seems "broken" now.
