That's because you apparently can't read. The only thing I said was that treating sick people is why we have the healthcare system. If you think treating COVID patients is too much just triage differently and lower the priority, treat more important things instead. Don't force me to get a medical procedure against my will for the sake of the government healthcare infrastructure.
Never a problem in my 4 years of use.
What does this mean? A fragment of a radio wave is still a radio wave and can carry information irrespective of whether reed solomon or other encoding is used, no?
To put it simply, the second we (U.S.) show what we can do, everyone else can start developing countermeasures. It requires a circumstance where the risk of exposing our capabilities is worth the deterrent or retributive effect. So far, throwing shit at satellites doesn't count.
Corruption, incompetence, poor leadership, etc.

Exhausted too much political capital chasing dead ends in Afghanistan and Iraq. Far easier to focus on non-existential threats than to address the elephant in the room.

Could be false positive. Have you tried anything other than Kaspersky? What about using a different PC?

It's the internet. Anything is possible. But one is not a pattern or trend.
I'm plotting my first ever switch to a tiling window manager (in my life!) to make use of my excessively large new screen.
That's pretty much exactly my setup. On top of that I make sure I can do most important things with just my left hand: I use Ctrl+F1/2/3 as is default in KDE (Firefox on F1, editor of F2 usually), but then I rebind stuff to the Windows key: Win+W maximises a window, Win+A tiles to the left and Win+S tiles right. Kinda unrelated, but I also rebind Konsole's "Clear Scrollback and Reset" to Ctrl+Shift+X because I use it before running compilers and stuff, so I can easily find the actual start of the command's output.
There doesn't need to be a clear "bad guy" in every situation. Situations can escalate and get out of hand without any individual actors with bad intentions. So it's entirely plausible that the people charging Rittenhouse thought he was a terrorist and wanted to disarm him, and it's entirely plausible that Rittenhouse feared for his life when he shot them. To illustrate my point:

Suppose there are two people at two corners of a dark alleyway. They both hear a gunshot towards the center of the alley and draw their pistols in self-defence. They take a few steps and now see each other holding a gun. Each one raises his gun at the other, thinking that's the shooter. One fires and kills the other. AFAIK it would be justified self-defense

Possibly the only advantage that Firefox has over Chrome.
An actual arbitrary-precision library would have a lot of loops with loops control and load and stores. Those aren't shown here. Those will dilute the effect of a few extra integer ALU instructions in RISC-V.

Also, an high performance arbitrary-precision library would not fully propagate carries in every addition. Anywhere that a number of additions are being done in a row e.g. summing an array or series, or parts of a multiplication, you would want to use carry-save format for the intermediate results and fully propagate the carries only at the final step.
Ask HN: Has anyone worked as an embedded developer at a rocket/space company?
I find the whole space really interesting and inspiring, and am interesting working on satellites or rockets, or something in this new blossoming industry. Seems like a bunch of fantastic engineering challenges. However, outside of some home arduino and esp32 projects, I've never done any embedded development.

Is anyone working as an embedded engineer, in or out of the space industry? How can I learn more and see if it might be a fit for me? Do you like what you do?
No, I made a comparison between two options.

And then I stated the paradox you are attempting to I assume explain to me?

There's no need to pretend there's an argument.
I can imagine lightweight semi-permanent disablement by spraying paint on lenses and wrapping the entire craft in aluminum foil. Zero space debris, and not even destruction of property.

This takes more fuel and an advanced robot craft, but should be preferable for a time when a fast all-out war is not being fought. And I hope both sides would like to avoid an all-out war.

To clarify, do you live in a city?

Respectfully: you bought your house — not the neighborhood around your house, and everything in it. It's true that it's OK to have mixed densities of housing, but I think it's an unrealistic and ungrounded expectation to buy a single family house in a city and expect your neighborhood around it to never change.

There are areas of the country where you can cheaply move to, outside of cities, that will likely never upzone (or land is so cheap you can buy everything around your house to ensure it never changes).
"Years"? We haven't even had the pandemic for "years", let alone lockdowns.
Having to hack around the nginx paywall made me briefly consider going back to Apache.
Space has been used for weapons of war since the V2 in 1944. The next Big Stupid War will certainly continue the trend.
Well the official line is because standing up to China is racist or something. Really it's because so many rich people in the US are beholden to China via investment and other business interests.
So... treat everything as a black box, source from redundant supply chains, and invest in shielding?

Sounds like systems architecture is about to get physical.

Call the architects!
There's also the Space Force versus the National Reconnaissance Office versus the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.
Literally 1984 /s

But really I feel like people jump to the antiauthoritarian rhetoric really quickly nowadays. I know your making a joke, but damn if I'm not worried we're kind of normalizing the concept
Google does its job.

I heard HN constantly crying over its deteriorating quality, but I am not noticing it that much, not better not worse, it just does its job.

To create 05 Google, it is easily billions of dollars and years of investment, before people will treat you seriously.

The reason we didn't get 05 Google could only because it is not profitable. Some nation state attempt to demonopolize the search engine business might work, but I didn't expect any for profit organization to easily attempt doing this, let alone individual hobbyists

Holy crap wtf.. how is this even possible
Vaccines still allow for transmission. That there may be lower infection rates for Delta and Omicron - may - isn't part of that fact, unless I claim to present a big picture, which I clearly fucking didn't.

If the virus were 50% fatal that would be a *250x* increase in mortality rate for 18-44 yos... That's the difference between dying in a pedestrian accident, and dying by lightning strike.

Even if I conceded that in such a situation, extreme measures might trump human rights - which I don't, because human rights are inalienable - would mandating vaccines actually help? Would people not voluntarily take them, and have wildly increased social pressure to take them?

And once people were mandated into taking a vaccine, how often would it be boosted: every 6 months? Would Pfizer be allowed to keep their contracts secret, and allowed to prevent other countries from sharing vaccines or making their own? Even when other countries have abysmal vaccination rates?

At what point would the vaccination boosters stop? When 90% of the population has been through the virus? Or never, because a new variant could come along? What if they start raising the prices, and only the wealthy can stay alive?

And this is all assuming that in this alternate universe, the vaccines actually prevent transmission. Which ours don't.

Fun thought experiment; I suggest you think about it a bit more.
Revenue can be used to determine the cap on the actual damages that may be awarded in a successful copyright infringement suit.

Moreover, copyright suits should only allow actual damages + cease and desist (copying).

Thus, if the work has no proven revenue, and the copyright holder sues someone for infringement, the only remedy they will obtain from the court is an order instructing the defendant to stop the copying.

Copyright lawsuits where no actual damages can be awarded wouldn't even go before a judge necessarily. There could be a hearing and some summary decision handed down: you assert the copyright, and the defendant is served the prohibition order. If fees were awarded to the plaintiff, they would be limited to absolutely minimal amounts related to the filing of affidavits and whatnot (documented by receipts from the court registry); the system would not allow some copyright troll to act in collusion with lawyers in order to rack up legal fees to extract from defendants.
whatsapp was run out of a single cabinet.
Maybe. On the other hand, a lot of anti vaxxers seems to think Covid-19 is a hoax, and that undoubtedly influences behavior.
A fellow Linode aficionado!

I had a similar experience as you. You are getting lured in by the free tier, but then this paid additional service is needed and that paid on top.
Didn't work for me at all.
I just love the complete lack of self-awareness. Russia and China bad, the US is good.

Yeah, shut off EC2 instances, block access to all resources, etc. Preserve bucket data and other storage for N days or $M max allowance (ultimately billable) before deleting. AWS could limit how much storage they make available to someone with a budget, reducing their risk substantially.

It's pretty easy stuff, IMO, but the upside for them is low -- after all they are already #1.
I have a creditor that reported a bogus charge. The source of the charge is an illegal clause in their contract, when I tried to get the charge removed from my credit report, they sent back as proof the final page of the document with my signature (not even the page with the clause in question) and that was apparently enough to validate the debt? So because I had signed _something_ for them, the debt was assumed to be valid. It's now at the point where the only means I have to remove it from my report is to sue them.
Because I don't think one guy saying they're launching non-damaging attacks on satellites is worth making the lives of over a billion people worse.
The people who fought gay marriage argued that expanding the institution to include same sex pairings would demean what they consider sacred and what they think all of their countrymen should consider sacred too. A common meme was "next you'll be saying we can marry X" with the clear implication that we should not be able to just marry X.

But your idea of a win-win compromise is "let's expand it even further so I can include not just same-sex couples, but my grandmother or random roommate too"?

Of course it's about monogamy. Of course it's about who you have sex with. Why do you think we have laws around adultery and divorce? Our democracy wanted to govern adultery and divorce so much that it enshrined it into law, but also lol it should be easy to get support for repealing the whole thing because I don't think it makes sense /s

Fight for it if you wish, I think this can of worms is just about the furthest thing from a politically & legally pragmatic solution that you could possibly come up with in a Western democracy like majority Christian USA.

I'm reading your "software engineer" description of concrete vs abstraction as if that's remotely relevant to the law & politics of helping gays rightfully access a beneficial institution and I'm just thinking "holy shit if this is kind of attitude that crypto folks promise to bring into the political institution of finance, PLEASE KEEP THEM AWAY FROM IT".
I see Russian sites from Yandex all the time on DDG.
Cool, hadn't heard of this guy before. Judging from the headline, I would have assumed it was Tom Stanton, or even more probably, Jörg Sprave.

(Or, dammit, what's the name of that English guy who builds and sells medieval weapons?)
Given that it's individuals who transported those single-use items to the location where they were consumed, it makes perfect sense that those same individuals should transport them back to trash handling facilities. How else are you going to bring drinks to a picnic, if not in some sort of container, that you are then responsible for regardless of how many times that container can be used or what it's made of?
Nothing we can do about it?

Vaccines work.
I did it, absolutely no regrets, except using CDK Pipelines.
So some one asks about the math on the success of lockdown policies, and you take the opportunity to do the math on... something completely unrelated?

It's not clear you're making any claims at all, which begs the question why you bothered posting in the first place.
The safety of modern cars has been shown to lead to more aggressive driving, so this metaphor may track on more levels than you realize.
Fewer disease vectors (the teens that avoid infection due to vaccination) and smaller disease vectors (the teens that get less sick) leads to less spread.
> Logging into a website: rather than typing your password into a potentially unsafe website, you can simply send a proof that you “know your password”.

Authenticating your identity: rather than giving your mother’s maiden name over the phone to a random, bank call center agent, you can simply send a proof (a cryptographic fingerprint), that you are who you say you are.

These examples tipped me off. Can someone help me understand how it is safe. Say one can send the exact cryptographic fingerprint and impersonate me. How is this anything better than me just sending password to authenticate?
Spiritually, you represent threat. I am holy and those around me must be holy as well.
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) - Virtual Machines | Senior/Principal Software Engineers | Remote (US) or On-Site (Seattle, WA/Austin, TX) | Full-Time

Oracle’s Cloud Infrastructure team is building new Infrastructure-as-a-Service technologies that operate at high scale in a distributed multi-tenant cloud environment. Our customers run their businesses on our cloud, and our mission is to provide them with best in class compute, storage, networking, database, and an ever expanding set of foundational cloud-based services.

I am looking for seasoned engineers to help build one of the foundational pieces of the cloud -- the Virtual Machine. We develop the virtualization stack to support customer features, build against the latest and greatest computer hardware, manage a large-scale hypervisor fleet, and automate regional expansion. The problems we work on are both fun and challenging: anything from low-level data plane features (operating system concepts, virtualization, advanced hardware) to higher level services which support the core of OCI's Compute product, and using Java, Python, Rust, and Golang to accomplish our goals.

You of course could switch color schemes easily.

But a lot of apps ignored them, wholly or partially, and just hard-coded colors. Try it with e.g. MS Word 6.
And in RISC-V it's a "BLT sum,summand" after an unsigned addition, and a single branch instruction after a signed addition if you know the sign of one of them e.g. adding or subtracting a constant.
I'm with you (you run a great engine BTW) and I've considered the UX of some attempts to help users do this.

I like Firefox's UI when searching, where you can select the search engine of choice while typing a query.

I like customizable metasearch engines like searx, I think it is a phenomenal idea. I wish more niche engines would implement OpenSearch so that they could easily be added.

I have considered just making a simple web page with search boxes for multiple engines for personal use as a default home page, but there's friction and again, lots of engines I'd like to use don't implement OpenSearch.

I wonder if there's some novel UX approaches to this out there. Meta search engines seem to be the best way so far to do it but there's the problem of customizing ranking, relevance of results and the like that just compounds the problems users experience.
I agree we should approach this with skepticism. By their nature, a lot of these things are hard to verify independently, and the incentives are for the military to exaggerate them. This article doesn't seem to even attempt to independently verify the facts. This should be treated as a press release from the military, not journalism.
This is propaganda, the US is the only military with operational space drones and space planes. They have the technology and enough budget to defend military and commercial satellites and just looking for political support to actually do so.

The CCP military may be ahead in number of rockets but the US is way ahead in number of spy satellites by a far margin and can also commission civilian capabilities for this.
Biting the hand that feeds you is typically frowned upon. You thought trade was disrupted by a mere global pandemic, wait until the disruptions from a global war kick in. We've fought wars for the past 20 years while spending on consumer goods has risen steadily and taxes have been lowered many times. Long has it been the populace has felt the pinch of giving things up to support the war effort, but go to war with the one place that supplies the majority of common goods, and the populace will get a rude awakening.
That's a good point but when pushed, you have to push back. Not necessarily with your most advanced tech.
I logged on to a medical practice's portal and was able to access all of the provider's notes from my visits.

I didn't read them or investigate to see whether it was just my own that were available, but I'm pretty sure it was a mistake in setting permissions.

Some time later the whole portal disappeared, except for a bill pay page. Also the provider suddenly quit with no warning; I don't recall the sequencing.

Nobody ever sent me a letter fessing up to anything.
Both India and Pakistan already have nuclear weapons and capable delivery systems. I don't see how the peaceful pursuit of nuclear energy could make anything worse
My ideas are quite different from yours. First I would drastically shorten the time, and not link to the life of the author, instead I would have fixed time from first release, with a max of 40 years. The current amount is simply way too long, 40 years is a normal "economically productive" time for a typical person, longer than that is not necessary.

Registration is a good idea, but I would do it different. Everyone gets 20 years automatically for free, with no registration needed. (Small players, for example I write an essay and put it on a website, need to be protected. You don't want to force 12 year old students to deal with registering their works.) After that you can pay to register a work, a fixed fee that goes up each year for the final 20 years.

My issue with your idea is people holding things, and refusing to sell them - for example old software. It's illegal to distribute, but also it's not for sale. So rather than going by revenue (which would be 0 here), have a fixed amount, $100 is not enough.

I also don't like percent of revenue - that's basically taxes, people already pay that, there's little point in doing it via copyright. What's the issue you are trying to solve with percent of revenue, that is not also solved with a fixed amount?
A whole Gish Gallop worth of dodges there.

Let's see if we can nail it down. If we had a vaccine that perfectly prevented transmission, and the virus had a 50% mortality rate, would your proposed human right be flexible, or does it remain a societal suicide pact?

Is it possible for two human rights to be in conflict with each other?
Never trust a model whose parameters you did not pull out of your own ass.
If the problem in Germany is anything like in Sweden, then the issue is not that "people don't want to do a job where you have to watch people die". It is 100% a lack of funding and poor management.

In the last 20 years the standard "joke" (ha ha, only true) about the universal health system is that you need to be in good health in order to have enough energy to fight for your right to get help. The health care debt was an all time high at the start of the pandemic, and has since sky rocketed.

The faults are many. Poor wages has create many empty seats at the university programs. A lack of available personal has created a demand for labour hire employees, creating a system where many are moving to those in order to get pay rises, furthering increasing the cut that the middle men takes. An sharp increase in populations has increased demand, without any corresponding supply or funding. Employees has had an increase in paper work, with technology solutions that has caused additional work rather than optimized the work flow. Those same technology solutions has also been expensive to the point of corruptions, with some deals being actually corruptions that gone to court.

The situation is so bad that my own health clinic is sending every patient that calls them on non-mondays to the emergency department, as they are by law required to redirect the patient somewhere and all their own doctors are booked for the rest of the week, a pattern that been going on every week for the last year. Vacations has been removed as an emergency decision at many hospitals, and in one case the "compensation" for lost summer vacation was a fruit basket.

The expected time frame to raise the standard and actually train enough workers, as calculated by researchers a few years ago, was (if I remember right) somewhere around 10-20 years into the future. One pre-panedmic solution was to encourage skilled immigration directly from hospitals of nearby countries, a fix that obviously is not going to work now. If Germany is anywhere similar, then the blame isn't disinformation. It is systemic problem that has existed for decades and is now being pushed to over the edge.
Maybe you could have / should have mentioned in the OP that the book is a novel.

It's in no way clear from your post alone that the book you're talking about is fiction.
“Space Force” has been around for decades.

See the “National Reconnaissance Office” https://www.nro.gov/
Don’t forget only existing as a separate department as an ego boost by the the idiot who literally tried to overthrow the government when he didn’t get his way in an election.

To me the Space Force is terribly tainted by association. I don’t know what will change that, but vague claims of threats doesn’t.
