> FWIW, my wife breeds white Swiss shepherds, and very much has the health of her animals in mind when she plans a litter.

Very glad to hear there are so many people taking this seriously, there is some hope for at least some breeds!

> She'll cull (as in remove from her program to a pet home, not take out back and shoot) dogs that don't measure up - either temperament wise, genetics (she tests every dog she keeps using optimal selection's tests), other other traits - one of our fave bitches had to have elbow surgery due to a developmental defect that left an unattached piece in her joint.

I would make an argument for culling on the basis of bad temperament - a large breed dog with a bad attitude is a burden only a few are going to be able to handle in the best case. In the worst case it's somebody's child that gets bitten because their parents didn't read the dog.

I would also make a similar argument for any puppy you believe that will require significant or expensive surgery in the future, because the chances are, they won't get it and will suffer. A bad knee joint if quite common in these heavy breeds, but a spinal defect for example is not going to be simply or easy to deal with.

> Most of the worlds kennel clubs have a process for bringing new blood in, where you bring in a dog that LOOKS like your breed, and meets the breed standard.

One problem we've seen is breed definition creep. A lot of these working dogs are no longer capable of doing the work they were selectively bred for because they have been bred for looks alone for too many generations. After about hundred years, there is not an 'expert' alive that knows what the original breed is supposed to be. This is why going back to the breeder's notes have been so important - especially ones around the time when the working dog was actually working.

Open-source Vizio lawsuit takes an ugly turn
Did you try consulting some government authorities, about your case specifically?

$24K is a lot of money for most small businesses (or family side gigs), and most people can't afford to out-lawyer a huge company. Fortunately, one of the ideal roles of government is to protect the small from the large.

Were it me, since I'm in the US, but don't know which government authority would be most appropriate or effective, I'd probably first try my state AG's office. I'd ask if they're interested in this, and could look into it, or if they could suggest what other authority to ask.

If you ran out of topical government authorities, I suppose you could then contact your Congressperson's office, which could be a wildcard hero.

(The fashion is to Tweet one's way to customer service, but I still believe that government institutions can work.)

I don't see a distinction? The right to do something is both positive and negative. You have the right to do the thing, and the right to not have the government stop you. Nobody's permission is needed; government or another person

The American perspective only assigns enumerated rights to enumerated people. People are assumed to not have rights when the constitution does not apply, or it does not specify the right. The government grants Americans those rights, the people don't have them by virtue of existing. Otherwise, the government could not spy on other countries, since those people would have 4th amendment rights. The same goes for the right to drive, which the government is perfectly allowed to infringe on since it is not specified in the document.
VirtualBeeb – BBC Micro Simulation
Not in San Francisco, where Boudin and supporters continue to claim that retailers are lying about the magnitude of the problem as an excuse to close their stores. The discrepancy at issue is that reports by retailers to police of theft have only slightly increased. That should give one pause. But considering that chain retailers are [purportedly] seeing dozens of thefts per day per store--even more that go unseen until taking inventory--and that they're often seeing the same offenders repeatedly even after arrest and prosecution, then it makes sense, especially in light of all the other evidence.

This article is largely false and disingenuous. The right of return is in fact automatic and does not require settlement. You can’t say “well they don’t have citizenship RIGHT NOW” while they can get it instantly whenever they want.

Also, wealthy and powerful congressional representatives that routinely travel to Israel for vacation are not the same as your average person who happens to have x% Jewish DNA.

These people are powerful and privileged, and are routinely the target of hostile foreign intelligence services.

I wish we were there. I hate driving. If my car could actually drive itself competently and I would be free to do what I wish eg read a book or watch a movie like any other passenger, I'd be very happy. I don't really want to ever drive again.

But a computer looking over my shoulder and second guessing me makes the process of driving even more awful and complex.

I tried very hard to get photos of the projector and LED display and simply could not. It’s all so tiny that it fits in the nose piece of the glasses.

But, basically there is an LED screen that brightly “projects” the display onto a mirror. This is, in turn, reflected onto the back of the glass of the glass. You look through it.

In practice, the display you see ends up appearing about 10 feet in front of you as free floating text. Logically, you know the text is actually less then an inch from your eyeball but that doesn’t change how it looks to you visually.

From the front, people looking at you can not tell you aren’t wearing normal glasses. There isn’t any glow or reflection.

The effect is even better with the swimming goggles. It looks like the bubbles (from exhaling) is in between you and the AR text.
Ask HN: How to start teaching my 3rd grader daughter computer programming?
Hi HN,

I tried teaching my daughter coding using Swift Playground as well as Python. I am a university professor but my problem is that I exclusively teach to masters and PhD students and I have no idea about how to teach coding to a child. My daughter liked some of the stuff but I quickly realized that I was unable to make my teaching relatable to her in any manner. It was way too abstract for her and also very boring.

It would be great if you could share your experiences and advice on how to go about doing this. I don't want to push her lest she starts hating coding (and me!)
An aside for HNers, which I write as someone who had his first job in customer service: please remember, when interacting with customer service agents (and the various ops folks at companies that hire from very similar talent pools), that you (very likely, if you are on HN) are in a ridiculously fortunate position in life relative to the customer service agent, and that they did not write the state machine that made the poor decision about you. They're just following the arrows on that state machine.

You either want to discover the inputs needed to get the state machine to give you the outcome you want, or, you want to get this issue kicked from the CS/etc person you're talking to a fellow well-compensated professional who has substantial discretionary decisionmaking ability. None of this requires getting intemperate with a person who makes very little money and has a frequently soulcrushing job.
The additional $1.98 is going to Doordash. It represents the additional value that their service provides. If the service isn't worth that much to you, then don't use Doordash. $9.89 is a surprisingly high price for a cheeseburger, but that is apparently what it costs for Fiveguys to pay their costs and make a suitable profit. They don't have $1.98 left over to subsidize Doordash, any more than they have $19.98 left over to subsidize Doordash's more expensive competitor ThresholdSaunter or $199.98 left over to subsidize their even more expensive competitor PorchCrawl. So, in every case, the costs of the additional service are passed on to those customers who want that service. If you can explain why PorchCrawl's service costs $199.98 per cheeseburger then you might have a clue why Doordash's service costs $1.98...

You're still completely confused about your own analogy. Fiveguys are analogous to product vendors, in that they actually have the thing that the customer wants. Doordash are analogous to Amazon, in that they charge a fee for delivery of the thing that the customer wants.
I'm so confused why would hiding the dislike count impact the internal recommendation engine that has access to the dislike count?
>a cache of pine cones worth $15 a bushel. These woody cones are in steep demand

A bushel, even of lightweight pine cones, is fairly large at eight gallons. For some varieties*, a bushel of pine cones delivers 1.2 pounds of pine nuts per bushel.

$15 per sounds unlike "steep demand" to me, based on my observation of prices of raw pine nuts in areas I've been where they're harvested by locals. But they provide no justification for their idea, or market context. It just leaves me suspicious.

Why wasn't she about to send a fax?

I don't think wear-and-tear is why people aren't adopting them. I have a yubikey from Mt Gox (yeah, the btc one) that I've just left on my keychain all this time. My keychain is not treated gently, and it's been through the washing machine more than once... yet the hole is fine, and plugging it in now, it still functions and delivers its gibberish after a touch. I don't know what the expected lifetime should be.

I can't really speak to other people, but I personally avoid adopting 2FA because 1) most of my passwords are strong 2) it's not true 2FA, instead of yubikey it's some shitty SMS system or more uselessly a TOTP system whose key I can add to a bash script that'll use oathtool and xdotool to enter it for me with a hot key press 3) it's some shitty app that requires my online smartphone 4) I worry about the opposite case where services are so forgiving to restoring access that even if you have a brain aneurysm and forget the password and your yubikey bursts into flames they'll still let you in after a phone call -- if my account access can be socially engineered that way anyway, I don't want the additional annoyance of dealing with 2FA.

We all know how these arguments ultimately end up attacking the jew as a race/religion as a whole. These comments, indeed, are antisemtic- however nuanced. The "international jew" question is one that has somehow transitioned into anything related in the slightest to Jewish influence in the government of the US. If someone were to say, "Hitler did nothing wrong" would that be true? No! He lost, the only thing he did wrong was lose. This kind of twisted logic is where these arguments targeting any supposed influence of a Jewish controlled power structure arise when events like these undoubtedly, and likely eventually occur. So you will excuse me if I don't want to go down that path. Anti-semetism is not acceptable and the most shameful expression of ignorance one can pro-pound in this day and age.

But this is because their "full self driving" is anything but. They just blame it on the driver who should have been in control.

With real full self driving where the driver is not supposed to have control, the legal situation will have to be decided indeed. I wonder if this is holding back progress there.
None of these things are being done on the basis of harm. Someone who is vaccinated but has a coronavirus infection is doing more harm than someone who is uninfected and unvaccinated.

Can you specify exactly what you mean by "control system" here? Are you talking about software that actually sends signals to hardware that eventually makes to physical equipment that does something?

I'm trying to understand the actual environment. When you say "deployment", what is changed, where does it start, and how far does it propagate?

For example, would one option for zero downtime be to have replicated (2 or more) "control systems" beyond some "layer" (sorry, it's hard to be precise without knowing more) and enforcing synchronicity between those while having only actually controlling at any time. Then, when you are patching or updating, you freeze on one, update the other, then switch to the other? Not advocating a solution, just trying to understand the situation by throwing out an example to talk around.

I'm not an expert in this at all, but if what I'm talking about above is even close to being on track, I'd recommend this book for starters: https://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Embedded-Systems-Cyber-P...

Anthem specifically? Maybe, but insurance and other mundane companies in general hire Americans for IT jobs, only in places like Indiana, upstate NY, or the southeastern US. Often working with people who are in, say, New Delhi, but not being replaced by them.

This article strings a lot of ideas together but the identified cause doesn't seem quite right. The wild speculation we see in the stock market, cryptocurrency, housing market, etc, are mostly due to lax monetary policy. All kinds of bad investments gain traction when money is sloshing around the economy. It can't last, but the alternative is pain, and no one wants to deal with that so here we are.

My TP-Link "Tapo" cameras can do ONVIF/RTSP however you can't stop them from talking to their cloud. Using a vlan without internet access could solve that of course.

They're not very stable though. I use shinobi NVR and often one of the cameras stops feeding. Resetting it works but I regret buying them, I have 6 now and they were super cheap otherwise I'd have switched already
Loading, patching, and deploying without downtime is not very complicated on the surface of it. Basically almost all cloud product/service providers do this with fault-tolerant network design, routing/load-balancing, distributed/fault-tolerant datastores, blue-green continuous integration/delivery (CI/CD) pipelines.

The hard part is being very strict to ensure that every change is safe and/or be able to rapidly/automatically restore a working state to stay within a very low error budget. Each '9' in 99.9.. of uptime is order(s) of magnitude harder.
> we get continuing bugs and vulnerabilities as a result

Background reading: https://huonw.github.io/blog/2016/04/myths-and-legends-about...

If you only want safety, then trapping or not, signalling or not does not matter at all. It is UB that causes safety problems, not the overflow itself. And RISC-V mandates the overflow handling manner. No UBs.

Throw on arithmetic overflow is a language choice. And at least Rust thinks that arithmetic exception everywhere is not necessary for security.

The only related problem with no overflow trapping is that dynamically typed languages needs numerical type conversion on overflow. But TBH, if a numerical javascript program often generates 1.7E308, then it's a terrible program that no one should care.

What a pessimistic take. Some corners of "fintech" are worthy of scrutiny, but talk about throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Go talk to someone with bad credit who can't get a loan. Go talk to someone who had to wait three days for a small payment to post to their checking account. Go talk to someone who is stuck renting and can't buy a house.

The list of moments of misery caused by the archaic world of "financial services' in 2021 goes on and on. Let's not pretend that there aren't real problems to be solved here, more than there probably are in any other corner of the economy.
Because it’s not misinformation - the body absolutely needs glucose homeostasis to survive - if you don’t eat carbs it will make it out of protein. The body has numerous mechanisms and basically dedicated organs for the conversion, metabolism, storage, and production of glucose. The whole Krebs cycle is built around the processing of byproducts of glucose - so you’re utterly full of shit that it’s “only safe in a tight band”. That the body can additionally use fatty acids in the form of ketone bodies as a stopgap is a testament to adaptability - but even people on keto require a homeostasis of a close to normal level of blood glucose. And how do they get this? Through the metabolism of proteins which can be amazingly converted to the glucose the body needs to survive.
