On your last point about respecting ideals and values of other countries, I will note the punitive, heavy handed China’s reaction to Australia’s request for investigation on Covid-19. And the list of demands from the Chinese embassy in Australia, including control on the freedom of the press. Using your opening statement Australians according to China should not be able to bring food to the table…they should die.

For the rest of your argument, I can say you read too smart to not see the gaps in there. “Bread and circuses” as the Romans said. And I am even someone who appreciates socialist ideals, but maybe that’s why I am also not impressed by the story. You went way back in 30s when many western countries’ populations were not that different to what you described.
This is a good explanation, but I still find this a difficult concept to wrap my head around. I think the main source of confusion is that endianness (usually) concerns bytes, not words. Why is this the case? ALUs work on words, not bytes, right?
Random note: Subaru China published their new BRZ today, which is distinguished by its boxer engine, with (somewhat) symmetric pistons.
You need to read the list more carefully.

• The list is not for Rust itself, but every program ever written in Rust. By itself it doesn't mean much, unless you compare prevalence of issues among Rust programs to prevalence of issues among C programs. Rust doesn't promise to be bug-free, but merely catch certain classes of bugs in programs that don't opt out of that. And it delivers: see how memory unsafety is rare compared to assertions and uncaught exceptions: https://github.com/rust-fuzz/trophy-case

• Many of the memory-unsafety issues are on the C FFI boundary, which is unsafe due to C lacking expressiveness about memory ownership of its APIs (i.e. it shows how dangerous is to program where you don't have the Rust borrow checker checking your code).

• Many bugs about missing Send/Sync or evil trait implementations are about type-system loopholes that prevented compiler from catching code that was already buggy. C doesn't have these guarantees in the first place, so in C you have these weaknesses all the time by design, rather than in exceptional situations.
Few programming languages actually support returning multiple values, and those that do are I think all quite old: the usual course these days is just to support record or tuple/list types and some kind of destructuring syntax, with the completely incidental effect of simulating returning multiple values, typically without any syntax sugar (unless you count destructuring, which is normally strictly sugar, but it’s often more a fundamental language feature and not really related to multiple return values).

KatLang’s algorithms look to me to just be functions that return tuples. Am I wrong?

Requiring that the reader read the entire expression before they can know the arguments they need to provide and the order they need to provide them in is not a good thing. Add the Grace~ operator and they have to parse even more, maintain a list of arguments in their head and even reorder them mentally! That’s massive cognitive overhead. If people start using this for anything of even moderate size, you will observe people writing the signature in comments—or perhaps, if I’ve read your docs properly, writing `A = #x, #y, x * y + y`. There’s a reason why serious programming languages all specify the signature separately from the body.
This story reads like a plot for about 12 movies. Amazing this wasn't a bigger story here in Indiana where a world record steer is front page news. I will say this: it is amazing the things people have in barns and sheds in the middle of nowhere, Indiana.

> "Wrap it in tin foil" is perhaps the most common advice [...] Unfortunately the results were extremely inconsistent [...] 90 dB attenuation in one test would produce only 50 dB the next time [...] You would have no way to tell whether you've managed to fold and seal it adequately well

On the other hand, aluminium foil is incredibly commonly available, if not in a kitchen draw, it will be at the nearest shop. Although unreliable, the _potentially_ high attenuation the author shared is pretty good (we don't know his worst reading), better than all other improvised solutions tested, and similar to commercial products. I wonder if a more reliable construction method could be found.

I'm not sure what movie scene scenario I'm envisioning, but in the case you needed a Faraday cage and don't constantly carry one around, perhaps simply taking an entire kitchen roll of foil and wrapping the device into a giant unsightly ball of it would be a reliable enough process for an "emergency" (if not pocket sized). i.e rather than trying to make a neatly folded minimal version, just resort to sheer number of layers of material - unless RF doesn't care and even 1000 layers with tiny gaps is no good?

[edit] Similarly, I wonder how well (or poorly) common household appliances work as a Faraday cage, e.g a fridge, microwave-oven - From what the author described, it seems they would all have too many gaps, however they are also constructed from higher gauge metals... i'm particularly interested in a microwave-oven which is specifically designed to reflect and retain microwave frequency fields.

My dad was chairman of the Royal Navy surf association so basically surfed since I could walk and used to go to all the RN surf comps with the marines and all the navy guys and fleet air arm and stuff and thought I was so cool.

Surfing has kept me fit and kept me WANTING to stay fit throughout my whole life - I’ve swum and done weights when living in cities to stay on point for getting in the water ‘when it’s necessary’ (Big Wednesday quote).

This title is a bit sensationalist. According to the article itself, the difference between masked and unmasked confirmed contagion is 5.9 cases per 100,000 population.

The death rate for confirmed contagion by COVID is 1.6 % in the USA. So, imposing mask mandates in Missouri would result in 0.096 fewer deaths per 100,000 people, or, in all Missouri with a population of 6,137,428, enforcing mask mandates, would have saved 6 (six, single-digit) people.

Is it reasonable, to impose a mandate such as this that negatively alters people daily life to this extent, in order prevent 6 people in the all-state from dying?

EDIT: Grammar
I think you miss my point. I’m not questioning the self-defense, it’s pretty clear in the video, but the moral responsibility of someone protecting a property by being in the street with a rifle in the first place (I’m not talking about personal home invasion here).

No, it very specifically supports the hypothesis that masks are not effective. Maybe not to the rigor you would hope for, but to my knowledge this is the most rigorous covid/mask study to date, so it's the best we've got.

That isn't to say we should ignore all other studies, but the body of literature on mask effectiveness is very split. Maybe masks do work, I wouldn't be surprised if that were true, but given the body of evidence I'm of the opinion if they do work their effect is marginal.
All transactions are public.

People can simply crawl the blockchain for addresses that have a good amount of money and then check which of them they can relate to persons.

If they know you and how much your crypto net worth is, they might start to attack you in some kind of way to get your private key.

If you tornadoed that money in an address that can't be linked to other addresses anymore, the work to relate the address to you might be too big so people won't try.

So they removed a lot of "accounts that amplified Chinese Communist Party narratives" I see. How about removing all the nationalist (sorry "patriotic") US accounts? What a sham - or should I say - what a nice hit piece for the US propaganda apparatus.
You can, as long you're not using it for publications. The usage on your own blog or Facebook account is allowed but the line is drawn at billboards, on TV or such (larger) channels. For those you must have an agreement.
The prosperity of Chinese economy is much at mercy of Japanese, Koreans, and Taiwanese, not Americans, not even remotely, even if USA will go for a financial nuclear option of denying access to its bank system.

If you look at median incomes, UAE, and Saudis are of course ones with higher per capital income, but you see plenty of other quite prosperous nations in the club. When oil was above $100, and Russians were swimming in USDs, they were even less proclived to go to the streets.

Suharto, Marcos, and a few Latin American dictators equally had their best years when relative prosperity kept populace pliant, even if there was an apparent stagnation.

Popular revolts really only happen at the furthest extremes of the spectrum of prosperity, or rapid movement in it. Even just "not dying from hunger" level of prosperity is enough for dictatorships to survive with ease.
900 bitcoin. Just sitting there in some fragile little exchange, or whatever this DAO is. If these people are so rich, why aren't they so smart?
They most certainly do, but I’d assume that stuff gets freely discussed.

I’ve seen a few articles around the FBI’s connections to the Jan 6 protest and the Proud Boys (for example).

But yes, I agree they should call it out whoever is driving it.

But, I’d also assume any smart intelligence agency will make it look like some 3rd country is doing it. I presume Twitter can flag IPs but that’s about it?

Edit: Indeed. Russian accounts linked to the IRA for an information operation in the Central African Republic.

4chan has rules that are enforced, especially since the split between 4chan and 4channel. What might give the impression that it's "some kind of internet libertarian ideal" is that people often not report posts. But when they do, the janitors usually do their jobs. These days even troll posts are deleted!

You can dig into it, but the details are mostly only relevant to people designing computer languages and tooling.

Aka Compilers, as long as the machine code is equivalent to the source code their output can be wildly different. However, someone needs to actually write them which means both linguistic differences and the sheer effort that was actually put into the compiler are both significant. You shouldn’t assume that every language is operating on an even playing field because their simply not. The obvious solution of compiling to a second language is never quite as capable as using the language directly.

Zuck doesn't own 50+% of the company (just the voting rights) and Oculus, FB Marketplace, FB Groups and WhatsApp are all very relevant market leaders. In terms of the rebrand they committed $10+ billion a year to VR development and promoted the head of VR to CTO so it's a pretty bold PR stunt.

Smart contracts are immutable, so realistically, once you know which one is the right one you can just bookmark it.

If you don't want to trust anyone at all, you can read the contract code and make individual judgement whether it does what it's supposed to do.
Having briefly used datapane, this would be my initial choice if I had no other info about parent use case and just needed something with low overhead.

By default, whenever such hacks occur, I suspect the project creators are in on it unless proven otherwise. When you're talking about multi million dollar payloads that can be stolen without scrutiny from law enforcement, the incentive to abscond is huge.
The Web is a threat to the Open Web.

Though that's in very large part an inevitable and widely-foreseen consequence of Google's other arm: advertising.

The monetisation of content is the root of great evil:

Writing for money and reservation of copyright are, at bottom, the ruin of literature. No one writes anything that is worth writing, unless he writes entirely for the sake of his subject. What an inestimable boon it would be, if in every branch of literature there were only a few books, but those excellent! This can never happen, as long as money is to be made by writing. It seems as though the money lay under a curse; for every author degenerates as soon as he begins to put pen to paper in any way for the sake of gain. The best works of the greatest men all come from the time when they had to write for nothing or for very little. And here, too, that Spanish proverb holds good, which declares that honor and money are not to be found in the same purse—honora y provecho no caben en un saco.

Exactly. If I take a picture of you standing naked in front of your first floor window, it's totally acceptable, you should have expected to be noticed. However if I use a teleobjective to photograph you getting naked out of the shower on the twelfth floor, that's an invasion of your privacy - because your expectations were different.
Nice catch. :)

Why not just run your own streaming service? You're here on hn, so standing up a webserver (or even a Raspberry Pi) is hardly beyond your means presumably. Subsonic [0] appears to be well polished. I've used a FOSS fork called Airsonic [1] previously, though I've played with (and liked) Polaris [2] in the past.

All three would meet your (possibly only) requirement of using your own music, and I wouldn't consider any too difficult to set up.

> Imagine if Amazon.co.uk was the real Amazon and Amazon.com was like

This is actually an interesting example, because Amazon.com is a US/Canada specific site, while Amazon.co.uk is the UK/Ireland site (though I'd imagine they'll eventually either set up an Amazon.ie or change the redirect to Amazon.de with the tax/import brexit implications of that). So while all domains are Amazon owned, I wouldn't say Amazon has .com primacy over regional domains.

Ditto for google search, though the rest of their products are on google.com for me (I think gmail used to be googlemail.co.uk in the UK and googlemail.de in Germany because of local companies who had the gmail name first, until Google bought out the names from the local owners).

All the web 2.0 or newer companies are .com rather than regionalised though.

> I think that for extremely small perturbations the discrepancy will be linear until it reaches a critical threshold

An error of epsilon on the angle of a path toward the scatter will cause an error of ~(distance to scatter/size of scatter) epsilon in the angle from the center of the scatterer to the "impact point". So the errors should grow exponentially in the number of scatterings.

The (effective) curvature of the scatterer CANNOT be neglected -- it is crucial. Modeling this with large flat reflectors is not appropriate.

> Political gain is the same for the mask wearing side.

Not really, no. It's pretty clear Republican politicians have been able to seize on the issue in a way Democrats have not. That may be a bit on the Democrats' tendency towards disarray in general, but if you want to be a prominent Republican right now, you're probably not gonna talk about being pro-vaccination too much.

> If I were Booking.com or a flight company, for example, I would support the anti-vax side of things.

That seems unlikely, given the damage to their businesses low vaccination rates cause. I recently traveled to French Polynesia; vaccination was all but required. Ten day quarantine if you aren't. They know what "people are dying there" headlines do to tourism.

> On the mask / vaccine side, you have big pharma / big tech / the government.

Big tech has been significantly responsible for the spread of anti-vax and anti-mask beliefs.
