I only see two bricks in there that I don't recognize from when I was a child. Three if you count the bear, but there have always been animals that aren't actually part of building anything. Yeah, that particular set would be difficult to build anything else with, but not because the pieces are unique, there just aren't that many. It's a cheap set, there have always been cheap sets that you can only really build one thing with.
Even worse than that - you have to go into the "danger zone" on GitHub, and then there's a big banner that says "Warning: Potentially destructive operation" and also the gates you mentioned.

They bypassed numerous sanity checks and then clicked the button that did exactly what it told them it would do, and now they're sad.

Do stars on GitHub _do_ anything? Usually I'm a bit put off by any kind of internet point begging, but I'm curious what the impact of losing them is. Is it mostly a signal of "I like this"?
The study took place from February to May 2021 and assessed 60 RMCD (30 Coaxial and 30 HDMI). It tested electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) regulations.

In summary the results of the study show that:

* only 13% of the coaxial RMCD met the respective class A requirements

* only 11% of the coaxial RMCD met the screening attenuation or class the manufacturer declared

* the EMC quality of the coaxial RMCD assessed during this study was lower than the one of the
study carried out in 2012

* only 10% of the HDMI RMCD met an acceptable EMC quality of at least 50 dB coupling
attenuation

* for both types of RMCD no correlation between price and EMC quality can be seen

* spot checks of the mechanical resistance of the samples to pull force stress showed negligible
impact

The principal conclusions that can be drawn from the study are as follows:

* The screening quality of the majority of RMCD in this random sample test is poor

* Coaxial RMCD manufacturers use distinct quality declarations on the article for advertising
which the products did not meet in the majority of cases and are misleading the customer who
is thinking that he is buying a product of a certain EMC quality level

* The voluntary certification scheme in the Netherlands might have a slight positive impact on
the average quality

* The fact that there seems to be no correlation between price and EMC quality could be seen as
evidence
Hey Ives,

I wrote to you some additional context yesterday after your message, but I’m not sure you got my email?

FYI I couldn’t find a way to cancel and I’m still being billed (and my code is still public).
> So, saying that vaccination should be primarily and aggressively focused on people with comorbilities can be "misinformation"

Eh? That's not misinformation and has been the policy of most governments, more or less. Now, it would be misinformation to suggest that it doesn't need to be given to anyone else.

> but saying that booster jabs "massively" strengthen bodys's defense against covid is completely accuarate and acceptable.

That is what the studies say (obviously, 'massively' is editorialisation).

I'm not sure what your point is, here?
> Whenever you’re working with grays, add a bit of color to them and they will feel less dull.

This is such a great advice, and one that's easy to not think about if you are not experienced enough. Just tweaking grayscale colors a bit like that makes a huge difference.

I'm not sure I agree when OP says that shadows are not black though, like sure a road with a whole bunch of stuff around it and some lighting source somewhere can look blue-ish, that's not measuring the color of the shadow though (whatever that means, it's not like shadows are actual physical things), that's measuring the color of the road.
I think the problem for now is more pronounced with dogs than cats, but I just checked my Maine Coon breeder's site. Out of their two current litters, only one is from one of their own cats; two are from other breeders in the same country, and one is from Holland. On their planned litter page, only two cats out of six are from their own lines. The rest are from other Swedish lines, Holland, and Italy. I think responsible breeders do already do this. I worry that as cat breeding progresses, standards will slip like they have with so many dog breeds. It's already started with some breeds.
The collection of abo-abo tools creates an editing experience that rivals modal editors in navigation speed, I think everyone should try it once.
It actually is pretty "bullshitty". Diversity is just cultural zeitgeist that companies parrot to please demographics they want to hire. It's the definition of Mammon.

> Lets continue becoming more diverse. Because doing that will help us work together better and more.

This is a tautology.

I suspect you have a blindspot here, because this specific brand of bullshit is there to please people with your belief system. To others, it's as much bullshit as a company prayer, or talk of how a SAAS startup is "changing the world", would be.
This should be the top comment. I don't fault people who do get designer dogs, but I just got a "covid rescue" dog... a 5 year old something or another and given all the amazing dogs that need happy homes, I can't imagine buying a specially bred dog.
If you have visable screwheads on your furniture at all that tells you all you need to know about the quality.

loath ≠ loathe

loath is an adjective meaning reluctant. loathe is a verb meaning disgust/hate.
The key is this: If you have to change one, do you have to change all copies? The problem is not duplicated code; the problem is duplicated concepts.

DRY was a response to cut-and-paste programming, not thoughtful application of the same (or similar) code to different problems.

>2. "passively and accurately" detect whether someone's BAC exceeds the Federal limit, and prevent or limit car operation if it's detected.

How does it 'passively' monitor a user's BAC? How does it deal with false positives from things like hand sanitizer? Will I have to blow into a tube every time I start my car running errands because I'm keeping myself safe from rona or the flu? This is idiotic.
Probably Lego needs to add something like these to the orange tool:

There is, however, a significant percentage of it in dry or gaseous form.
OK, so it's a shadow bank: lend long, into other people's short term borrowing.

So it must have extremely high interest rates? Which raises the question, who's borrowing all this and how's it collateralized?
This is a borderline inaccurate headline. This is an incidental characteristic of one tiny subassembly in a much larger model. The headline leads one to believe the entire set can’t be disassembled at all and that Lego deliberately designed it that way, perhaps for nefarious corporate purposes.
If they are so obviously false why are you concerned?

This is why we have ontologies. Still at a early stage of data abstraction but it is getting there.
Versus the variants available at the time, yes. Unfortunately, the people running the studies couldn't get the budget for a time machine to see what would be happening in late 2021.

Note that the possibility of future variants was certainly raised at the time; it was never any secret that this was an evolving situation.
> I imagine a lot of them have AMOLED screens

Not designing for a variety of displays and viewing conditions is frowned upon in general, but should be inconceivable for a company the size of any MS org.

On that note, this is one of the reasons I still use a 1x display as my main. Currently it’s a comically large 43” 4k@1x, so it’s only representative of “normal” usage when I remember to shrink windows, but still.
Not surprising, given Tor's own design spec states it cannot defend against an adversary with global network surveillance capabilities. Tor is good for two things: obscuring traffic destinations from your ISP, and obscuring source IP from the destination. It's not good for hiding from all-seeing network administrators and certainly not nation state actors.

UK study finds mRNA Covid-19 vaccines provide biggest booster impact
I tend to think that the person who buys the bottle and chooses to throw it away or recycle it has produced the waste, no one throws sealed bottles of Coca-Cola away.

If I buy a bottle of Coca-Cola, drink it then throw it out my car window, is Coca-Cola responsible for that bottle being swept into a storm drain and into a river? I don't think so.

Coca-Cola produces valuable goods, if you choose to take an action that results in the bottle floating out to sea, it's your fault, you don't get to blame Coca-Cola. That is what I mean by personal responsibility.

If my local recycling company sells bulk recycled plastic to an Asian commodity broker with the understanding that the plastic will be used to make new goods and the broker decides to dump the plastic in the ocean, is my local recycling company to blame for the plastic in the Ocean?
Wow, America is far more messed up than I had realized previously. Not sure I know of any developed country where armed citizens can simply chose to do that.

This seems false, clearly they're stored in their database. This seems like a response from someone who doesn't exactly know what he's talking about. Perhaps they are deleted but there is certainly a backup someone could find the data in.

Keep pushing.
In this day and age it's pretty hard to imagine a use case for a work laptop that completely excludes multimedia.

I deleted 400 videos and closed my YouTube account in October because of this, or similar. These were not easy videos to produce: audio, video, photography, text in multiple languages, etc.

Hundreds of hours went into that channel. It was the only one that had the complete (!) recordings of early 20th century baritone Titta Ruffo, including the unpublished Edison cylinders, and I'd put a ridiculous amount of my free time into it over about a decade.

I may have had 10 down votes on 400 videos.

Except for five or six of of more modern artists (1960s), all 400 were 80, 90, 100+ year old audio recordings. It was an exceptional resource, and included many other artists besides.

I just couldn't stand the scam-legal this-that thrown my way by untold numbers of "legal entities" whose ownership claims I couldn't possibly contest. I gave up, unable to balance, in my mind, outflows to criminals, even if it was just pennies.

Part of me regrets deleting it. It was a one-of-a-kind resource, but the legal blerg was eine komplette Scheiße.

YouTube, if you're listening, you're welcome to resurrect all of those videos and take whatever ownership you can muster. I certainly won't try anymore. I won't upload so much as a video of me drinking a cup of coffee because the coffee cup, the coffee in it, and probably the traffic noise playing in the background will be claimed as property of someone else.

Yes, even property that's over a century old and in the public domain.

The channel was registered to tittaruffooffurattit@gmail.com, also deleted. You have my permission to resurrect and take ownership if you can.
Well, they have control over the application, and whatever its VM has access to .. which is supposed to be limited to only the things that the application needs.
This reminds me of some difficulty I've encountered with printing computer images. #000000 often comes out as just-off-black. Computers use RGB while printing uses CMYK, with the K meaning "black". So in some places, like Vistaprint, I would have to specifically set K to a max value to make it look right
They're getting tons of views so why would YT care?

You don't want your brand to be synonymous with scams. When that happens, you won't get any money from views - if people "know" the videos are scams, they won't watch. They'll assume all videos are scams and won't watch any original content. I'm sure the folks at Google can figure out at what point they need to take action. What amount of bad PR, percentage of views on scam content, percentage of content that is just scams, etc.

...Or maybe they aren't taking the long view on this.
The purpose of dog breeding isn't health or usefulness, it's to match a picture and description.
The moderator and local mute/unmute are separate. If you mute yourself locally, no one else can unmute you. Similarly, if a moderator mutes you, you locally unmuting yourself wouldn't override that either.
This is a great! We have a rescue dog picked off the streets of Stewart, FL (near West Palm Beach), so I say "oh he's a West Palm Beach Itinerant". People who take breeds seriously get confused, everyone else has a laugh.
This is especially noticeable in formulaic sitcoms. Any time a character lies, cheats, etc, they will get caught in the worst way possible. At some base societal level it's "correct" to punish the bad guy and reward the good guy. Our stories reflect this attitude.
And it's understandable that they don't read them - some of these bills are so enormous that it isn't possible for an individual to read all of it in time. But that's not OK. It needs to change.

At least in the US, there aren't a lot of options unless you're pretty wealthy. Medicare doesn't cover nursing care. Nursing homes cost around $5k a month or so last time I checked. They will literally throw them on the curb if they can't pay.

I'd guess that people wouldn't mind the "consolation message", but are objecting to the blatant self-promotion that accompanies it. We don't read HN comments because we want yet more ads; the internet has more than enough of that garbage already.
Speaking as someone who hires, "I" is a huge red flag for me — it's a dead ringer for what is (in a very soft sense), a confidence man. Someone who's aggressively and artificially trying to project an external appearance of competence. I've had multiple bad hires like this, and it's now something I really watch out for.

The worst thing with guys like this isn't that they're going to deliver less than promised, but it's that the aggressive "willingness to lie for their own benefit" bleeds into a lot of other behavior at work.
What a negative and downright wrong thing to say. Dog owners are happier and healthier than non-dog owners.

The voice of the latest podcast sounds much nicer. It's a fairly convincing nonsense podcast.
On the counter-side, if there are 300 seats on a plane, worth $100 each, and everyone does 10 flight searches before booking a flight, that means that your database needs to hold a few hundred bytes about prices, the plane, and departure time, and handle 3000 queries, and for that you get a chance to make a commission on $30k in revenue.

There aren't many computing platforms that could offer a higher profit margin per byte stored or queried!
At the end of the day most software is not composed of a single application. To further complicate matters, many applications can't even run on a single server today. Many of the companies that users here work at have applications that span hundreds or thousands of servers.

I think part of the argument here is that our software outgrew the one server/one operating system model a very long time ago.
Unfortunately, yea we do. Now that more people are working from home the lines between work and not work are incredibly blurred. Add the increased connectivity we all have (email/slack/teams/etc on phones, laptops as work computers), it is essential we build good and meaningful habits of rest.
" I don't see how the number of stars is anything other than a vanity metric"

No, you can't say like that. It actually describes the usefulness and impact of github project. Who will come, check out the repo and star without estimating its usefulness, issues count, contributor count or code commit frequency and its impact on public websites and usefulness for the web? all these factors project that the project is having some "useful" rather than some sort of "vanity".
Ask HN: Amazon intentionally hiding late orders?
Has anyone else noticed that, when an order is running late, the Amazon mobile app (iOS) appears to remove that order from the order history? I have seen this on 3 separate occasions recently.
That's an idea but I couldn't find any indication that anyone else logged into it at all. Also it specifically said I banned for playing Apex Legends, which is a free game.

I'm just really impressed they banned the same account 3 times in a day. That implies that I somehow circumvented the ban twice, without even knowing about the first two times.

This seems like a judgement call from someone who doesn't understand any of the three topics and therefore sees only the negatives.

As an example, dog breeding which I know least of the three topics, provided society (the object in your sentence) with very specific work dogs that have served society for centuries. Imagine the Inuit without their sled dogs.

Ugh nope. This video is not only too naive at the intro (could be just a watchbait), it further doesn’t explain what it claims, neither is it consistent nor starting from any preexisting model. It starts from limited factoids and uses them as fundamentals to go to some crazy not-even-a-hypothesis. E.g. in GR the conservation of energy is an “it really depends” thing, not a universal law. And c is not a galactic speed you or your flashlight may “hit”. To save a stranger some time on c-part to make their own idea of this video, it’s right in the intro and then at 11:30+.
tl;dr:

"The pair falsely represented to YouTube and an intermediary company identified only by the initials A.R. that they were the owners of the music and were entitled to collect “royalty payments” from their use on YouTube. In some cases the defendants used forged documents claiming to be from artists declaring that the pair had the rights to monetize their music."
Depression -> not eating -> weakness -> accident or opportunistic infectious disease.

It's also underappreciated how often depression in the elderly can lead to confusion or even psychosis. Which can also lead to a fatal accident.
It is an accident ... but one which happened already a dozen times. Their manuals are the only thing which separate them from their knock-offs. Material quality is no longer.

A reviewer will see this immediately. Someone screwed up. They should hire an intern to simulate that and run a check in their modelling software.
There's a large used market, especially for these super expensive sets. Many people will resell sets after having them on display for a few months or years. For some like me 90% of the enjoyment is in putting huge sets together, so it'll be sold on after just a few weeks. But even then, a few pieces being stuck together permanently doesn't matter much.

But there is a small monitory of people who absolutely do break up sets to add to their brick collection in order to build custom models.
