I am aware of her view from the article. The approach I believe is more aimed at involuntary victims not being further victimized or being threatened with being reported to law enforcement as a mechanism of control. The sex workers Aella is sampling and interacting with may or may-not be a representative of this segment or Nordic countries have bigger problems with this than in United States

I don't have an opinion(or data) on whether this is effective or is good approach or not, just wanted point out that it is less about driving demand down, they are not trying to criminalize johns(it already was) but trying to address issues on the workers side perhaps ineffectively.
But, that's not how these things work. It would be nice if every department had unlimited QA resources, but most likely there have at most 1 QA person, and might be sharing that person with other departments. So if that person misses it then...
I find the idea very natural too, and there is precedent for this in Western tradition as well. In the times of ancient Rome, people would eat a meal with at their gravesite of a dead relative. This meal was called "refrigerium". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refrigerium

Interestingly enough, some necropoleis in those times were literal cities of the dead, made of structures with rooms where the dead were interred, and people could do the regrigerium in those "houses". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necropolis mentions this style of necropolis for the Etruscans, but it is my understanding Rome had these too at some point.
Again all devils advocate kind of stuff. No one who is not an industrial engineer spends time actually doing any of this stuff and the analogy is about making your own.

You could think about these things. But no one does. Necause I can buy a spice rack for $20 at target and then throw it out and buy a bigger one for $30 if that one is insufficient.

So sorry, consider me 100% unpersuaded.
Height is well-defined, easily measurable, observable, and highly correlated to the ability to put a ball in a basket that is high off the ground. It is not at all comparable to IQ, which is neither well-understood nor well-defined.

Measure height in 10 different ways on 10 different days, and you'll get the same value. Measure IQ 10 different ways on 10 different days and you'll get 10 different values. Do I have the same IQ at 3am after I haven't eaten all day, as I do at noon on a full stomach and a good night's sleep? I guarantee you my score will be different in both scenarios, so does that mean I have two IQs? Sleepy IQ vs. Alert IQ? When measuring IQ, is sleepiness vs. alertness controlled for? Is hunger?

Somehow I took a test in 3rd grade that changed the trajectory of my life. What if I didn't eat that morning? No one checked, and the only one to feed me was my mother. What if she didn't feed me? Would my IQ have dropped 10 points on that test and caused my entire life to change? Very possibly, I was on the threshold. I'm quite sure that some people in the room taking the test with me didn't eat that day, maybe not since lunch time the day before, since the test was at 8am. Would it surprise you to know that of the people in my class who were hungry while taking that test that day, most of them were children of color?

How do you think the IQ results turn out when a majority of children of color are hungry while taking it, and the majority of white kids are well-fed. At my school it meant that a majority of "gifted" students were white. Actually, come to think of it, all of them were. Not a single minority, despite minorities being represented at a proportionate rate at my school.

What's scary to me is that the unstated opinion in some of my social circles is that this situation is the result of whites simply having a higher IQ. As your post seems to imply here.

Edit: To the dead comment below me:

> IQ is very well defined - it's the grade you get in an IQ test

That's called a tautology, so what you're saying is that the tests are not measuring anything except themselves. The rest I will leave dead because it's subjective, so no need to resurrect it, but the way you defined IQ here is a verifiable logical flaw in your argument.

Any app that has developers who think that making an Android version (TAM: 1B+ users) is more important than creating a native Windows version (also 1B+ users), is an app that I will want to run on Windows. I mean, I'd rather have a native Windows app, but if that's not an option, I'd rather have an Android app than a website in most cases.

A bunch of investors buy 100% of the property and own it through a holding company under mutually agreed investment terms.

The tenant rents the property at the market rate, but gets the option to buy it bit by bit, at the current market price. When they buy e.g. 20% of the property, their rent goes down 20% (because they only pay market rent on the 80% part they don't own).

Fairly simple really.

But they won't, and I don't know why anyone thinks that they will.
Both the PS3 and X360 CPUs featured no out of order execution, no speculative execution, no automatic prefetch, and a 500 cycle latency for hitting main mem outside of cache.

The hardware design was based on 1) This is currently the only way to hit that clock rate at this cost 2) Hyperthreading effectively halve all latencies 3) It's a fixed platform, the compiler should know exactly what to do. 3 was pretty laughable. It is only technically possible if you have huge linear code blocks without branching or dynamic addressing.

I would remind junior programmers that the PS2 ran at 300Mhz and had a 50 cycle memory latency and the PS3 ran at 3Ghz but had a 500 cycle latency. So, if you are missing cache, your PS3 game runs like it's on a PS2.

On the other hand, a lot of people overreacted to the manual DMA situation of SPU programming. DMAs from main mem into SPU mem had a latency of.... 500 cycles! Once people put 2 and 2 together, SPU programming became less scary. Still a pain in the ass. And, a lot of work to reach peak performance. But, more approachable for sub-optimal tasks.
One of the issues is that Apple can take their time processing the sound, but hearing aids have a very small window of time (< 15ms, if I remember correctly) before there is a noticeable lag between sight and sound.

I think that your insistence that your own existence is substantially different than that of an ideal circle is the real "quasi-religious mumbo-jumbo".

"Physical reality" is just your way brain's way of interpreting the mathematical rules that constitute our existence. Yes, there is an external reality that can bite, because it is composed of rules that apply equally to all the minds within it, but it is the minds that make a "reality" rather than simply existence. A circle has no mind, no viewpoint to make its existence feel real, but it exists no less.
When combined with the nutty 5% CPI inflation we had over the summer, it's not a small chunk of change.
US history before the last 50 years was rather a shitshow with regards to human rights, uprisings, and state violence itself! So let's not pretend it's any more civlizied than the countries that its founders came from.

In many ways it ended up less civilized than its northern neighbor, which seems to fight rather fewer wars of aggression.
It’s the New York Post. Take everything they say with a huge grain of salt.
The script looks like it was written by a 6 year old though... hard coded paths?

It's pretty much Rule No. 1 to never have *hard coded paths* in a script that should be useful to anyone (other than yourself, in the case of perhaps single-use bash scripts).

I don't think anyone has to worry much if that's run on their computer, since the only person it will likely do anything to is the person who created it.

I doubt many people have those same configurations for their system when dealing with crypto.
It kind of looks like the descriptions of the games are plagiarized from Wikipedia, but no attribution is given.
TL;DR: This powershell script attempts to steal popular Dogecoin wallets, but doesn’t execute any malicious code otherwise.

The scary thing about this is that on the MacOS/Linux side, *so* many large open-source projects are norming piping arbitrary shell scripts from the Internet into Bash. Homebrew is the biggest culprit of this.

In other words, they are making it okay to just run “curl | bash” to install something without inspecting the scripts first. Given that _many_ engineers in the enterprise perform copy-paste-driven-development, this is a huge social engineering attack waiting to happen.

In Windows land, you can disable arbitrary code execution through Invoke-RestMethod and Invoke-WebResponse by way of PowerShell policies, which were introduced in PowerShell version 2 (i.e. forever ago).

In Linux, I’m not sure how you can work around “curl | bash” forking.
Speaking from the other side of that perspective — being one of a few women in a CS program can be a very uncomfortable experience, especially a decade or two ago.

Sadly, while Apollo was important as a proof-of-concept exercise, it was up to future generations of spacefaring explorers to give it meaning by following through on the initial achievement. Unlike the post-Columbian European settlers, we've dropped the ball.

By the time we get back to the Moon, my guess is that over half our population will believe that the Apollo missions never happened at all. There can't be much of a leap from "Bush blew up the WTC" and "Trump won the election" to "The moon landings were faked in Hollywood."
This hill is sadly already not that well defined. If an employer offers to pay for the tests, then the policy seems no more invasive or offensive than mandatory drug tests for employees.

Of course, this costs the company money, so they will try to make the option as inconvenient as possible (perhaps by requiring the tests to be taken during lunch breaks), and when this coercion works and reduces the number of people who rely on the tests, the company could change the policy and say that tests are no longer sufficient.

If the cost per test is sufficiently small (to start with), people won't die on the hill of $5 tests versus free tests, but then a government which wanted to coerce people away from tests could also make the lab certification requirements more and more onerous, slowly pushing up the costs of the tests until only the rich can afford them.
Depends on how much salary appreciates elsewhere. It's quite significant compared to ny and texas (1.1% up + 0.3% down).

it's neat but I wish it would also allow you to run code in a vm when you do this, so you could do things like linting, running test suites, etc before actually committing code. Without those things, this is really limited in its usefulness for any serious project, and more or less most useful as an overpowered CMS for GitHub pages blog sites or something.

That was creepy!
As someone who was just the right age for the 2600, I have an almost visceral reaction to seeing the old Activision and Atari typefaces and artwork. It recalls the excitement I felt for playing these games, although I never had a 2600. I'd have to go to my friends' houses who had one (there was always that one kid who would host everyone) and try and get him to play the game I wanted.

Also I remember all the excitement around the E.T. game release, and what a major letdown it was, as the gameplay and graphics were so ill conceived.
This is good social engineering, though. `powershell.software` looks legit to unsuspecting folks, and it is cumbersome enough to get the version of PowerShell that you’re using that I can see some lazy sysadmins trying to do something like this instead.

Some interpretations of the socio-political context of what is now New England see tribes more affected by disease presumably spread by earlier European contact as aiding incoming Europeans in order to ward off other tribes.

The Narragansetts were the most powerful tribe in the southern area of the region when the English colonists arrived in 1620, and they had not been affected by the epidemics. Chief Massasoit of the Wampanoags to the east allied with the colonists at Plymouth Colony as a way to protect the Wampanoags from Narragansett attacks. In the fall of 1621, the Narragansetts sent a sheaf of arrows wrapped in a snakeskin to Plymouth Colony as a threatening challenge, but Plymouth governor William Bradford sent the snakeskin back filled with gunpowder and bullets. The Narragansetts understood the message and did not attack them.

Breakthroughs in 3D Printing with Machine Learning
Actually there is nothing to figure out. If limitations of macos and arm cpu is not issue for you and you want a lightweight laptop then you buy a m1 macbook.
m1 macbook air first Apple product i bought and i also had latest gen ryzen laptop at that time (which was superior to intel). Simply there is nothing to compare. It is not an alternative to m1 cpu. At least 5 years behind it. Actually it looks like it will never possible for that architecture to catch up with arm for low tdp siutations.
If you ever used last gen windows laptop you will know there are always bugs. And installing ubuntu on a latest gen machine. LOL. That won't make you happy even if it is possible.
I also had an issue with bluetooth mouse being laggy. It seems like patched now. Bugs were really an issue with m1 cpu but i assume there shouldn't be much issues now.
That is on software developers, many of which refuse to package their software. There are Snaps, Appimages, Flatpaks, etc. Free software isn't like Windows where developers are always packaging their software. Package managers don't impact this whatsoever, and what you're basically complaining about is that unpaid contributors make something easier for people that they wouldn't otherwise be able to easily do without them.

You misspelled "unions".
Don't confuse national inflation with regional inflation, though.

I'm pretty sure rent, for instance, has fallen significantly in the Bay Area. That alone could dramatically change the "inflation" rate.

At the end of the day the better deal on my apartment means I have more take home money, despite slightly changing costs everywhere else.
Bold claim. How large will the Lightning's charging network be in 5 years? I have multiple local superchargers, whereas my only nearby high speed third party charger frequently has broken stalls.
Tesla will open their charging network to all brands soon:

https://www.theverge.com/2021/7/28/22596337/tesla-supercharg...

Closed charging networks with proprietary plugs don't help you as a driver. It's just dumb, incompatible infrastructure.

Imagine if you had different electrical sockets for every different brand of appliance in your house. Imagine if you had to used branded fuel for your particular brand of ICE vehicle. It'd be stupid.

Tesla already uses CCS type 2 combo in Europe. They've released a CCS type 1 combo adapter in Korea, but the adapter will not charge as fast as having a CCS inlet on the car.

With the addition of CCS plugs on their chargers in North America and with the eventual availability of the CCS adapter to support legacy vehicles, hopefully Tesla will join the rest of the industry and start putting CCS type 1 combo inlets on the cars in North America soon.
This post is a good reminder to never fall for “I don't want to cause offense, I want to understand the causes of difference.” again.
I’ve never heard anyone say the Columbus discovered North America except maybe if you include the Caribbean as part of North America.
You can't argue with anything that comes out of the corporate press.

I personally think the WHO has been comprised and don't trust them, but I used data associated with them since a lot of people do trust them still.

If you won't trust this data what will you trust?

The most trustworthy source is anecdotal but I know that's not accepted in arguments either.

The censorship is so bad you can't even Google anything anymore so where do you go?
One thing I've noticed is that ext, xfs, btrfs and zfs all explicitly store a length field alongside the filename. There's nothing inherent in the disk layout of these filesystems preventing them from supporting filenames with embedded slash and nul characters - those limitations are imposed by the kernel's VFS implementation. It would be nice to have a special version of open, exec etc. where one could specify a filepath as a length-prefixed array of length-prefixed strings.
Interestingly, this particular change would work in cyrillic :)
Highly likely. Very smart people can believe in very weird stuff without seeing any proof.

You know what's worse than microservices?

What I've dubbed "nanoservices". Basically, a service that hosts a single function. At a previous role I had, the dev team decided that account registration, login, and password recovery each needed to be a separate microservice.

When they first described it to me, I thought they meant that maybe each was a separate AWS Lambda function behind a single API gateway or something, but no...each was in its own repo, and each was a separate container deployed into Kubernetes.

I can't imagine the amount of overhead creates to manage that.
It isn’t their arbitrary rules, it’s the general consensus of most of the world
Fingers crossed we lean into nuclear instead but I suspect that won't happen to the extent it needs to.

Without experimentation you'll have failure, because you have to adapt with the times.

My best guess is the Sirens of greek myth, who are often (incorrectly) depicted as sexual temptresses. Bit of a stretch, though.
My parents moved out of the city and to a rural county with good schools and drove an hour to work and an hour back to provide my brother and I with a chance at a better education and we were lower middle class. If remote work becomes the norm, I can see many more families doing this too.
It will be as big as Tesla's plus all the other charging networks combined because the Lightning uses CCS Type 1 Combo. Tesla will open their network to all other brands soon:

https://www.theverge.com/2021/7/28/22596337/tesla-supercharg...

They'll start in Europe first because Tesla already uses CCS in Europe.
Wouldn't it actually make things like fiber, road construction, and every other piece of infrastructure predictably non-economical because of how sprawling suburbs can't pay for themselves?
I also read in Hacker News a few months ago that past year had been a great time to get a raise of salary.

I don't think I would tell someone what they "should" know. That 'knowledge' seems like an unlikely possibility: I think it probable that significant discrimination against women in tech will (very unfortunately) continue for another generation, at least. One signal to me is that many reject it in every way: Denial, anger, etc.
I wonder how much of this was their direct action, and how much of it was them thinking they had plausible deniability because they were going through an intermediary like a CPA or financial planner or something. In the end it doesn't matter, they sign the forms, they own the decision.
Salary is not total compensation, as most HN readers are likely aware.
