I found the language used the most interesting part. This article, and the WSJ's [1], both write "did not discriminate against White and Asian-American applicants". Which is later contradicted by "U.S. District Judge Loretta Biggs found UNC had narrowly tailored its use of race as a factor" - i.e. they did discriminate, but not "unduly" (as the related case for Harvard puts it [2]).

It's telling how much they try to avoid accurately describing it as "discrimination". "It is not bad discrimination" is so much more palatable than "it is good discrimination".

If you think someone is having a heart attack please call the emergency services immediately and hope you don't need a defibrillator or to perform CPR.

Edit: To add I had one in May despite being fit, young-ish and with no cardio-vascular problems. It came on whilst swimming and I foolishly carried on through it, got dressed and walked home, lay down for a bit before I got my wife to take me to the emergency room where they did approximately 4 seconds of EKG before stuffing me full of drugs and rushing me to surgery via an ambulance. For an idea of the level of potential for dying the ambulance came with a doctor as well as paramedics.
I don't know anything about the topic, but it does make me wonder. Our problem does not seem to be a lack of transistors to make all manner of specialized single purpose logic. We do see to be stuck when it comes to single core performance. I wonder if a new technology like optical could be used to add a single core accelerator to supplement existing chips.
> my logic that insolvency should lead to immediate destruction

But it doesn't. And it shouldn't.

Businesses can and do survive insolvency (sometimes without the public ever knowing!). Insolvency just means that either liabilities are greater than assets, or cash flow does not meet expenditures. Either one can be a temporary situation which can be solved with things like bridge loans. (Or bankruptcy proceedings!)

More nefariously, in the case of Tether, so long as they don't see redemptions exceeding their assets, they can continue to hide the fact that they are insolvent indefinitely.

That being true, there is a radical difference in scalability and speed of implementation of an old-fashioned dictatorial regime and the potential that could be achieved with the current ubiquitous technical oligopoly of devices with potential access to voice recordings.

Getting a significant proportion of the population loyal or scared enough to snitch on their neighbours takes time and effort, and that's without counting the infrastructure needed to handle and process the reports. Do the snitches phone a government snitchline, write an email, talk to the officer in charge of their sector? How is the specific identity of the people they are snitching on determined? Which bureaucratic level makes the decision to act on a report, are the reports triaged, can you coalesce the data?

Now compare that with how comparably fast an authoritarian regime with unlimited access to home recordings could keep control of a population, together with the power of large scale voice recognition and data analysis. What's more, under the right circumstances, it could even be implemented with plausible deniability that the regime is even using this data, in the same way that the British Government (if you forgive the unfortunate analogy) was able to make use of the intelligence gathered by Bletchley Park without the Germans ever suspecting their cryptography was being cracked.
Gold Effect
It's a hypothetical to make the comparison apples-to-apples.

But also: for biomass to be carbon neutral compared to some baseline, there would need to be no net change in living biomass. While there's a net negative in living biomass, the cycle is not carbon neutral. The time scales are long enough that it makes a difference. In extremis, coal is not considered renewable or carbon-neutral even though, in s very technically-correct-is-the-worst-kind-of-correct sense, it is.

> Medic doesn't have defibrillator in equipment bag

In Germany defibrillators are openly available in most public buildings and I think any industrial setting has to have them easily accessible too. They're as idiot proof as it gets: you push a big button and follow the instructions (automated voice commands, but I think there is also a text display as backup).

I don't know what the laws are like in Poland but all I'm saying is that this scenario you propose could easily be solved with basic health and safety regulations.

You're also ignoring that they could have called the medic while also moving him in the direction of the medical facility, assuming the movement didn't contribute to his death. Not to mention that a trained emergency medic should know what equipment to bring based on reported symptoms.
I don't agree with equating paid employment in a free society with slavery. I think that's distasteful rhetoric, however, the idea of a government imposing restriction on individual citizens' time to eradicate overtime, the only way for a substantial amount of people to get ahead in life, is closer to an inescapable situation than a busy minimum-wage job with overtime available.
> Managed forests are renewable

Fair let's accept that.

The issue is that the amount of managed forest area in Europe versus the amount of bio-mass furnaces is completely out of sync. These furnaces spend a huge amount of mass just to heat-up and another huge chunk to sustain in order to break even.

All of the managed forests in Europe put together are unable to sustain these wood burning furnaces and they are happily importing wood pelets from the US/Canada/Malaysia etc. (often with tax payer subsidies).

None of this energy generation is carbon neutral and absolutely none of it is sustainable. It is the wrong model and an even worse implementation of energy policy.

Europe does not have the surface area for this. If we need more non-intermitent energy sources we would be better off applying this money in France's mini nuclear reactors or in geo-thermal bore drilling for non-geothermal areas.

Thanks @criag0990 for sharing your problems with the Jawi Keyboard. Didn't know about Microsoft Store.

I'm using a macOS so i didn't notice - also macOS already has their own "Malay Arabic - Jawi" Keyboard built in so thankfully i didn't need to make one for macOS.

But i'll try to upload my version up to Microsoft Store (which is not SIRIM but based on phonetics from latin alphabets to make typing more natural as you don't need arabic stickers or arabic keyboard - You can use your normal QWERTY keyboard.

you can download it from here: https://jawikey.com but i will try to get it in Microsoft Store. :-)

I am not sure about the font because we use Ubuntu fonts and it works perfectly fine. (maybe missing for "va" character)

As for the font is that as long the font supports those jawi-specific unicode characters everything should be fine. For now, things have gotten a lot better with Jawi as compared 6-7 years ago.

The version from your URL is actually the official Malaysian SIRIM Standard which is based on the Arabic keyboard.

These are among the measures they will use to make the EU a leader in batteries:

A handful of C projects I have seen use magic numbers in allocated structs to prevent use-after-free and other memory bugs[0]. Basically, in this case, when the ref count hits zero and the struct is freed, the magic is zeroed and any further access will be stopped. The author makes no reference of this, so I guess this isn’t a widespread safety pattern?

As for the generic "application programmers", possibly you are right, and doing 'literal' mappings between their memory and persistent models is to be expected.

I think if you have a look at the service manual[0] you'll be surprised. New code is open by default (unless there's a security risk) and while the stack beneath the surface isn't predefined the frontend is[1]. There's also the GOV.UK PaaS[2] that is geared towards making a fully automatic pipeline an easy process - it allows anything from static sites to Docker containers to be deployed with just a few lines of config.

All services need to go through an assessment where their openness, usability, accessibility and security are reviewed.

It's a modern, sensible approach that's constantly being improved.

I think I originally found it on a /. story sometime in 2012 and tried it out as more organised local txt file documentation system.

And I loved the fact that I could write out the 'plan', test it, and then copy/paste into a terminal.

I really started it as I was compiling from source a lot (still do) in those days, and there were always little quirks that had to be worked out on different platforms.

For example the mysql/mysql-compiling.mm mindmap was created to provide copy/paste installations for Percona-mysql on Linux and OSX.

The weekly/daily mindmaps are my primary working space.

I wasn't running Jira at the time, and Freemind is faster anyway.

When writing something new in a daily node, I can then copy it into the appropriate program/program-function.mm

It depends on many factors. You are describing your experience and then extrapolate for everyone. My game will be pretty small, not fully 3D. I don't need 90% of Unity features and Unity bugs :)

Before making my decision to go with Zig I've built small game in UE5 (https://michalziulek.itch.io/upacman). I've also used UE5 and Unity at AMD. I simply don't like those engines.

Different people have different approaches and mindsets. I'm much faster building my small, minimal codebase that does only what I need. Also, I'm improving my low-level programming skills and experimenting, doing things differently than most people (not using Unity) might lead to very original game.

Well, not quite, but in practice yes. In UK it's legal to let someone go without providing any reason whatsoever within the first 2 years of employment(you still have to observe the minimum amount of notice however, or pay it out). So while it is still illegal to let someone go due to sickness, a company can just terminate your contract without providing a reason why - they just don't have to. After 2 years you would have to be made redundant first, and that's quite a lot of work for an employer.

That may be a better comparison, but with one caveat. If you offer the money in exchange for the phone's data now, the user will balance out the privacy value of what they intuitively believe is on their phone at this very moment.

Instead, the offer should be "I'll give you £1000 now in exchange for the right to access all of your phone's data for a day at the time of my choosing, and without you knowing it beforehand or after the fact".

That's very interesting. The pragma does indeed do a lot of optimizations compared to no-pragma (for example it doesn't call sqrtf at all), but the last simplification is only done with the global flag set. I wonder if it is a missed optimization or if there is a reason for that.

edit: well with pragma fast-math it appears it is simply assuming finite math and x>0 thus skipping the call to the sqrtf as there are not going to be any errors, basically only saving a jmp. Using pragma finite-math-only and an explicit check are enough to trigger the optimization (but passing finite-math as a command line is not).

Generally it seems that the various math flags behave slightly differently in the pragma/attribute.

Another way of stating this is to say that sets are “extensional” and types are “intensional,” which means that a set is defined by imposing conditions (constraints) on the membership or by simply listing the objects, while a type is defined by describing its “meaning,” e.g. by specifying operations on objects.
