In theory, you'd be performing fewer string comparisons. In practice, it's far from clear that the original schema was that bad, performance-wise (except for the nonsensical storage of IP addresses as strings). Even if you have separate indices for the columns, even just picking the index with the highest selectivity (which is something a good database engine will do naturally) will prune most of the comparisons in a logical conjunction that can't succeed. If you have a compound index, you can look for the exact values of multiple columns at once. And if the indices are implemented correctly in the database engine, they will be compressing the keys, so the index should be smaller than the table anyway.

> I would have considered hashing the values in those four columns.

That's a good idea that definitely works, but at least to me it's not clear that it's more efficient than a compound index or a computed index (where a compound index is basically the special case of a computed index on a concatenation that is supported natively even in RDBMS packages that don't support generalized computed indices). It might very well end up a wash.
Jack was alluding at that but afaik he didn't mention anything about how they ensure it's not used against their own citizens?
There's a significant difference between low quality reports and an actual scam. Refusing to disclose without payment is a big red flag in my opinion. Those types of reports are extortion at the very least, if not necessarily outright scams.

Low quality reports that include a POC are, on the other hand, neither extortion nor scams. They may be problematic for other reasons (lowering the signal-to-noise ratio), but they don't fall into the same category as the aforementioned "no disclosure without payment" reports and should not be treated the same way in my opinion.
From the article: But the federal government has no general authority to protect public health, control communicable diseases, or require vaccination, all of which are primarily state responsibilities.

What I do not see is where these specific responsibilities are laid out and clearly delegated to the states. Nor is it said why states are the preferred entity to determine and guide the response to a clear and present national threat.

.

For reference sake: Case law about states' rights to vaccinate the public:

In Jacobson v. Massachusetts (1905), the Supreme Court upheld a state’s mandatory compulsory smallpox vaccination law over the challenge of a pastor who alleged that it violated his religious liberty rights.

The U.S. Supreme Court, in an opinion by Justice John Marshall Harlan I, ruled that the state of Massachusetts acted constitutionally within its police powers to pass a law to protect the health and safety of the public.

> I'm referring to the proliferation of hate groups, that flourished under the defense that they represented "free speech" I don't think it's quite what Swartz had in mind, though even if he felt it defensible at the time (as I would have) his feelings on the matter may have become more nuanced (as have mine) since then.

Setting aside the question of whether this has actually happened like you say it has, the much broader critique I'd offer is that nobody who was defending free speech from the left in the 1970s [0] would be surprised that hate groups are allowed to operate under the cover of those protections. It used to be taken as a given on the left that free speech is so important that it is worth defending the right to the worst kinds of speech.

I see this a lot, recently -- this sentiment that yeah free speech is important, but you have to consider that nobody expected it to be used like this -- and that's wrong. Your liberal predecessors did know that it would be used like this and they explicitly and clear-headedly defended it, anyway.

That's really interesting. I've always wondered what those doctors went through. Radiation exposure must have been so far down the list of likely diagnoses...
According to Wikipedia: "The DF-21D has a range estimated between 1,035 to 1,726 mi (899 to 1,500 nmi; 1,666 to 2,778 km),"

So, anyway, to me this sounds like Taiwan invasion scenarios where the US might send aircraft carriers off the coast of China. If so, they would be in range for so many attack scenarios so that they'd be toast sooner than later anyway. So far since WWII the US have successfully deployed aircraft carriers because they always have control of both air and sea so their carriers are relatively safe.

But that's academic since the overwhelming probability is that the US would not engage China directly and that China would not engage the US directly either because that would be catastrophic for both sides. If anything all those latest developments is China sending that message again, if needed be.
Saying this method of interview is not 100% effective so it's useless is not a great argument. Reality is that bad hires are really expensive (as argued above) and that current interview methods are somewhat - admittedly not 100% - effective at avoiding those while mostly - again not 100% - effective at admitting the great hires. Maybe this "convert to discussion" method is more effective (I have my doubts), and I'm sure there are more effective methods out there and we should look for them, but let's recognize the reasons for what we have while we look for something better.

What Is Serverless?
It can be both.

I live by an airport. I knew it when I moved. No complaints from me.

But, my house backs a golf course. It's zoned permanent green space. A developer bought the land at a discount (because it shouldn't be possible to redevelop it) and it sinking millions into buying local politicians to open the zoning up to condos and commercial use. Damn straight I write my local representatives about that. This isn't just putting a bigger building where one already existed - this is taking a giant green space and bulldozing it all for profit. I'm all for redeveloping underused plots and increasing density where buildings already exist. But removing all the parkland is a no-no to me.
> it is illegal to voluntarily help someone who is not family or to barter services

Not sure why the previous thread commenter used the word "illegal".

It's legal to barter and help non-family members. It's simply about declaring income for tax purposes. The USA has similar laws about declaring "fair market value" of bartering. (Although people often ignore the law.)

So if the word "illegal" must be used: It's illegal to not declare fair-market-value of bartering as income to be taxed.

Tax authorities target bartering because they don't want it to be used as a loophole to evade taxes. But, if you help your neighbor move a sofa, nobody is going to report the neighbor as a tax evader for not counting your help as "income".

Who exactly is supposed to have the time to read all of this?
I recall when this idea of "organic" started (at least for me / in my life) seeing my chemistry teachers at high-school go crazy about how organic means 'that it's made out of carbon'.

Of course, turns out organic means it comes from the farming techniques they use. And of course, it's mostly a marketing strategy.
What about compression for numeric-type columns?

PostgreSQL is amazing - but these 2 missing pieces create quite a large functionality gap IMO.

“ Walmart and Silicon Valley start-up Gatik said that, since August, they’ve operated two autonomous box trucks, without a safety driver, on a 7-mile loop daily for 12 hours”

Sure, we all want perfection to spring from nothing but that never happens.
The problem is that, without a formal state, you just end up with an informal state that is pretty much always worse than the formal one.

There are limited counterexamples in specific situations, but I don't believe that we have yet figured out a viable alternative to "the state" for organizing human societies at large scale.
Unless you count the oddly vague couple admissions extracted under torture from some random accountants as evidence of something, which you shouldn't because torture is not and shouldn't ever be considered a valid way to extract actionable information, being "fair" has nothing to do with what is being done here.
I wouldn't over-analyze.

Third person intros are very common on personal websites, especially for folks who often give talks, invited lectures, or are written about in the press.

If your personal website starts with a short intro written in 3rd person then the person introducing your talk/lecture will, 9/10 times, simply read out your own description of yourself. Reporters will summarize the key points when introducing you in a story. Assuming the person speaking/writing about you is favorable or neutral, you control exactly how you're framed.

If you write the intro in first person or have an overly pithy description, then they'll sort of make their own intro which could go well or not so well ;-)

I think this is worse because once you have a python 3 only syntax in your script (such as f-string), python 2 will simply throw syntax error because it need to parse the file to execute. The original solution looks hacky, but it can actually inform user to use python 3.
Yes, it's a collective action problem which can't be solved by individual consumer activism. You need meaningful policies which internalize external costs. Of course you need to also need to work to eliminate rent seeking within the political system to make that possible as well.
The breakthrough occurred around 1991. I started in ‘84 with a Hess modem and C64. I had the house and phone line to myself for 3 hrs after school. I was heavy into BBSing - I only called local/free BBSs in south New Jersey, but occasionally to Redding, Pa. most of the adults I met on BBSes then we’re in tech or worked for the phone company.

I started trading warez on physical discs via UPS or having mom drive me to the next town where I would hop out of the backseat and hastily exchange a box of disks with an equally nerdy kid on the sidewalk.

When I got back into BBSing on a Mac plus in ‘92, the experience was very different - it felt like a Cultural and tech evolution happening before your eyes. I would call ‘the gate’ and other prominent boards in SF area - that was where it was at.

I appreciate the clarification, and I do think we're pretty much on the same page. There is definitely an overall responsibility to be a more-helpful-than-harmful member of society, and particularly when it comes to something like a casino, it's probably nearly impossible to prevent greed from manifesting as malicious intent. But as I detailed at length in another comment, it's a slippery slope trying to figure out where "the line" is.

In my grandmother's case, those trips to the casino actually greatly benefit her. At 94 years old, the casino provides a level of sociability and exercise that she doesn't get otherwise. That said, even the particular casino she visits most likely does more harm than good to the local community. Not by a lot, but by enough. Unfortunately, the perception of whether that crosses the line is going to vary wildly between individuals. Some will think it's not greedy enough, and some will think it's the equivalent of murder, and there's no legitimate way to decide where the exact appropriate middle ground is. That's something we all have to decide for ourselves, and it can't be forced upon others.

Who exactly has the time to read your comment.

Have you even tried reading something from The New Yorker, The Atlantic, etc.? While their articles are usually huge, they usually provide insightful content. Try it.
That unfortunately does not mean it’s not a real disorder. Just that science hasn’t accepted it. But scientists are just as infallible and biased as everyone else. As are the media which may choose to cover some science rigid viewpoints while conveniently ignoring others. See also the Wuhan lab leak theory.
Tech press is basically PR for venture-backed startups. Don't expect techcrunch and the like to actually do serious reporting.
There are a few other interesting things mentioned in the article:

> Employers are also forbidden from monitoring their employees while they work at home.

I'm wondering what that includes - any software that tracks mouse movement, applications used etc? Or is it limited in its scope? Anyway, sounds like a win and I hope other countries do that too.

> However, a proposal to include the so-called "right to disconnect" - the legal right to switch off work-related messages and devices outside office hours - was rejected by Portuguese MPs.

I don't understand this - so employer can't contact me but I can't disable my work phone? Sounds contradictory

> [parents] now have the right to work from home without having to arrange it in advance with their employers

Another win, though I'm wondering about the scope - who does it apply to? All office workers? Is there some definition of jobs where the work can be done remotely without limitations (e.g. having to use some machines available only at the work place)?

> Companies must also now contribute to expenses that workers have incurred as a result of switching to remote working

That's cool. I've seen companies already doing it in The Netherlands, but I don't know if it's regulated in any way, for now it seems companies come up with some arbitrary numbers between 40eur and 70eur a month.

All in all, it's hard to say how some of these rules will be implemented and enforced, but I like the direction it's going. Portugal becomes one of top places to attract remote workers in Europe with it's low (for now) prices, friendly taxes, great climate and good level of English spoken in the cities.
Nobody really cares what people do locally on their own. But companies do care when people share this local work with others. And any tool for accessibility can be used for this in one way or another.

This is simply a problem of two opposing forced where both have legitimated reasons for their demand. And so far the weak side is losing. It would be better to find some compromise. Having tools and readers with official support for blind people should be the obvious solution. Why do they even need to fight against the publishers, instead of working with them together?
Cool, I'm glad that brought you joy. I wish they gave both of us a check box at the bottom of my spit test to opt in and everyone's happy. But they know at least half of their population would've opted out...
> 6. [...] Meanwhile, the developer moves to demolish the property so that it may be redeveloped so they can monetize the land

According to court documents from 2000, the order to demolish the property came from one of the IGR [former] partners, Amaurillo Monteiro de Oliveira.

However this part of the court sentence doesn't make a lot of sense to me. If this were true then they wouldn't get away with only paying 100k... I'm trying to find other court documents, or maybe an appeal.

> On 05/04/87, the demolition of the building began, by order of the former partner of IGR, AMAURILLO MONTEIRO DE OLIVEIRA, culminating with the almost total destruction of the original building, which left it without a roof, doors or windows, despite the existence of the aforementioned Cesium-137 bomb on the site, without any warnings or notices.

EDIT: On the second page, it is mentioned that only two of the former IGR partners had to pay up: Amaurillo, probably for the reason above, and the nuclear physicist Flamarion Barbosa Goulart.

EDIT 2: Ok, so it looks like he was indeed a former partner in IGR. Why he ended up ordering the demolishment, is beyond me. It seems the other IGR partners didn't have to pay anything.

I remember a person responding to slack messages at 2am not because she wanted to but because their boss was pressuring everyone to respond immediately, while telling people that they just make a choice not to respond outside of office hours. If you didn't respond in slack they would follow up with a WhatsApp message.

Slack has now integrated message scheduling, but before that there used to be addons to do that. There is a big difference between you choosing to do something and a toxic startup culture where the boss thinks it's part of the grind and shames people when they're not onboard.

The word organic has some limited legitimacy as description for farming methods.

The word I find most troubling is 'natural', often used in the same marketing.

All agricultural produce is the product of domestication of a wild plant or animal by humans. There's nothing natural about a crop or animal subject to human breeding for millenia. Domestication produces crops and animals totally different to natural selection.

There's this implicit assumption 'natural' things are better than man-made things. In the context of agriculture, it's a false dichotomy.
