That doesn't seem right to me - they're saying this account had something like 500k followers (which, again, let's assume that's true) you're going to see reporting from WSJ, NYT, WashPo etc. all of whom have millions of follows. Even some basic reporters have way larger followings - for example I don't know who this guy is: https://twitter.com/JackPosobiec but he's got 1.5m followers and seems to be very active reporting Maxwell/Epstein details.

500k sounds extremely unlikely to be the largest reporter covering this, and even if it is, it's not that much more than the reputable reports who have 200k+

It would be great if this used the same filter format as sourcegraph and other internal code search tools. ex. -file:.html is enough to filter away files ending in html in the main search box.

Having to use dropdowns and multiple input fields is more cumbersome than the filter language of repo:, file:, lang: etc.

ConstitutionDAO tried to buy the US Constitution. When the auction ended there was a large Twitter spaces group that mistakenly celebrated CDAO's 'win' in the auction.

However, when it was revealed that CDAO actually lost the bid, the Twitter spaces group admitted they were wrong and that CDAO failed and then announced it to everyone in the group. [0]

This group admitted failure.

> [the seller] and the state have washed their hands of the issue

I took this as judgement that the seller or the state should be doing something else. Which seems like you, as the new owner of the house, wanting someone else to have completely solved the problem for you without fully owning that stance and paying to get it done. It seemed like you were passing this judgement having only considered half the issue, which feels like the same perspective that got us this useless do-something disclosure legal dance in the first place.

Ignore that feel-good disclosure song and dance, here is the actual knowledge: if you're buying a house that was built before 1978, it behooves you to assume that every painted surface has been painted with lead paint, period. The "what if" scenario isn't the house having lead, it's the house not heaving lead - a newer-built addition could be a lead-free bonus. But barring any written representation by the seller or negative test, that's the condition of the house.

There are other comments in this thread talking about remediation companies being a racket (not surprising because any time anything gets regulated in such a way, it becomes a captive market). Making testing mandatory would further entrench that racket - eg "your house tested positive for lead when you bought it, and now it's testing negative. How could that have happened without hiring a certified ripoff remediation company?". In reality a P100 respirator, good worksite hygiene, and disposal in municipal trash will get the job done (at least last time I checked a decade ago, disposal regs may have changed).

(I'm sympathetic to the socioeconomic angle, but enforcement of current tenant law as written would actually solve that for lead paint, at least in the states I'm aware of. So unless you're thinking a government program that pays for proactive lead remediation, I don't know what else could be done)

Samsung is the largest smartphone-maker in the world (and has been for much of past 10+ years). They ceased all their phone-making operation in China and left for Vietnam a couple of years ago (also most recently closed their last display, shipbuilding operation) -- along with 200+ suppliers, plus 20+ new domestic suppliers created there along the way. Now, most of Samsung phones are made in Vietnam and their output there accounts for some 30% of Vietnam's export and 20% of their GDP (2019).

I'm very skeptical that China is the only place Apple can make their products. Sure, Apple doesn't actually "manufacture" anything -- the company outsourced it to Taiwnese CM's like Foxconn, Wistron, and others who have cleary demonstrated that they have no competence, experience, or even desire to build things outside China (see Foxconn's misadventures in Brazil, Wisconsin US). But that shouldnt' be surprising considering that their business model entirely depends on ginormous state subsidies and seemingly unlimited supply of young, unskilled laborers from rural China. Also consider the fact that most critical, high-value components come from not China, but South Korea, Japan, the US (some via TSMC in Taiwan) -- China still makes less than 5% of all chips produced globally (as of 2019 according to US SIA). Of course, they are all assembled/packaged there, but China's contribution to this whole process still accounts for less than 4% of overall value.

I just don't buy the argument that China as the world's electronic supply-chain can't be replaced.

The Soviet bloc was not noted for being driven by profit, but they still caused lots of environmental devastations. Roving bands of hunter-gatherers weren't driven by profit, either, but they still hunted a number of North American megafauna to extinction.

Yeah macro like tooling in C++ is clunky, but on the other hand I think Rust goes overboard with macros.
I've been trying to get a clear answer to this for some time, because at least in Switzerland, and apparently in other countries as well, vaccination status of hospitalizations and deaths is well published, while vaccination status of ICU occupants is reported only anecdotally.

As you say, a sizable percentage of deaths (~50% in the 60+ age group) are vaccinated — because those tend to skew elderly (85 in Switzerland) and highly vaccinated (>90%).

Likewise, a sizable percentage of hospitalizations (~40% in 60+) are vaccinated — those are a bit younger (66 in Switzerland) because many of the very elderly patients never make it to a hospital.

All the ICU administrators I've seen interviewed, however, say that their ICU occupants are ~90% unvaccinated. One explanation for this might be that the ICU median age is considerably younger than the above ages, about 55 in Switzerland, and younger population groups are less vaccinated.

But IF this is in fact the case, I wish the statistics were public.

Nothing is ever independent in China. That seems obvious enough. There's no situation that Beijing wont latter decide it wants to meddle in.

All sorts of independence is being strangled & crushed. Business freedoms curtailed, HK's two systems promise being shredded to bits. Foreign investment cut off. Beijing is demanding again and again and again that they are the only power allowed, where-as power used to come from numberous places before. What was given freedom & choice comes to lose it: that's a de-facto loss of independence, which is the only form of loss possible in an absolutist country that reserves all power for the party.

This isnt a word gymnastics at all. It's a shift, a change. PBOC was less independent than many, but they stood up, tried to take action, tried to prevent defaults & dodge colossal amounts of incoming economic damage, and Beijing seeing this has responded & reigned in PBOC some.
I love it! Thank you very much!!!
There's an even clearer example here: dereferencing a C++ std::optional is undefined behaviour. Dereferencing a Rust std::Option is a compile time error.
What the US does not have though, is an unlimited supply of time, and these increased program costs also drive longer project schedules. I've been watching Seattle's light rail system as it has been under development for 2 decades now - the construction itself is really quite fast! But a 20 year delay between voter approval/funding and breaking ground on the new construction is untenable. Example: South Kirkland extension breaks ground for construction in 2035, it was approved by voters in 2016.

Very generally, federal agencies write nation-wide minimum sets of regulations (which have to be based on laws passed by Congress, which in turn have to be grounded in allowances in the Constitution - powers not explicitly granted to the federal government belong to the people/states [see below]). Some of these federal agencies have enforcement officers, but nowhere near enough to police everything. In the case of the EPA, the rules relate to pollution, toxic materials, etc (lead paint, asbestos, petro-chemicals, etc). FDA is about food production and drug safety. OSHA is work-place safety.

States (and cities, counties, etc) generally have their own building codes and enforcement agencies. But, the states still have to follow federal rules where they exist.

So, in this case, there are EPA rules about lead paint handling. Very likely three are also OSHA rules dealing with worker safety when dealing with lead (wearing a respirator). And while the EPA might have some enforcement officers, they won't be interested in a single house renovation (more likely interested in factories, sky-scrapers, etc). OSHA also has enforcement, but a lot of that ends up being after-the-fact (ie somebody loses a limb, OSHA gets called, and shuts down a factory until remedial action taken).

But, the local building inspectors office is able to enforce the EPA rules as well as local building codes. And there's probably a local work-place safety office as well. But, in the case of small construction jobs, local code enforcement is the easiest/fastest way to get something on-site changed.

With respect to the Trump administration, you are correct - he went out of his way to install department heads who were either incompetent or had business goals opposed to the agency they were tasked with leading.

[] - The 14th Amendment gives the federal government the power to ensure all people are protected equally under the law. Pretty darn broad power there. Similarly, the Commerce Clause in the Constitution grants the federal government the power to regulate trade between the states and other countries. Again, you can read that very widely - pretty much any serious level of commerce impacts more than one state.

Instead of directly using queues in a Temporal Workflow, the Workflow (which is written with plain code), schedules an Activity that the system is responsible for, behind the scenes, the Activity is just an item put on a queue.
Activities have retry policies which are also handled by the system.
If an Activity attempt fails and should not retry according to the policy, an exception is thrown in the Workflow to be handled using code.

Using the TypeScript SDK, you can catch that exception here:

This is probably the biggest issue with Rust in the kernel; because it needs to deal with a lot of existing kernel interfaces and abstractions, you get code which is neither very idiomatic Rust, nor is terribly recognizable to someone who knows the kernel abstractions fairly well.

Now, some of that is just a matter of learning curve; once you have learned the Rust-in-Linux abstractions the above will probably be somewhat more readable.

Coming from someone who's more familiar with Rust, and less so with the kernel, here are a few notes.

* It might not be the best idea to post the example drivers with inferred types, for this familiarization reason. While there are a few types (such as those involving closures) that you can't write and can only use via type inference, or others that are too large to want to write out, these types should be fairly easy to write and it would improve readability during the familiarization process

* A lot of these things that you were having trouble with look like they are basically just dereferencing and accessing some data contained within the spinlock, and casting what is only guaranteed by the API to be an immutable (shared) reference into a mutable (unique) reference in an `unsafe` block. This is a place where trying to use simple Rust wrappers over core kernel structures which weren't designed for Rust makes things a bit more difficult to read, as you need to do a bit of an unidiomatic dance to tell the compiler "yes, the language and type don't gurantee uniqueness, but I promise this reference is unique and I won't misuse it."

* One of the small little humps to get over when learning Rust is to learn that "mut" actually means "unique", and unmarked (immutable) references means "potentially shared." But since you do need to sometimes write to objects that are potentially shared, it just means that you need to either guarantee yourself or use some kind of synchronization mechanism to ensure that at any given moment of time that data is only mutable in one place at a time.

So, I don't know the details of these APIs myself, but when I look at this here's what I see

* we're constructing some device data object protected by a spinlock

* we're providing some brief justification for why this particular usage is safe, since the API and compiler can't guarantee that it's safe

* we're extracting a mutable reference from it, for which we need to uphold the single exclusive access principle without assistance from the compiler

* we're wrapping that in a new reference to device data type which presumably provides a more idiomatic interface than what the raw primitives provide

I'm guessing that the following code which actually uses this Ref::<DeviceData> object will then be a bit more readable and require fewer uses of unsafe, as it looks like this code is what is providing that translation between some core kernel primitives which are not terribly idiomatic to use in Rust and a safer, more idiomatic wrapper.
It was only in the last few weeks AWS announced IPv6 only VPCs (although they've supported dual stack for a while)
But can't you at least surmise that, as long as you can independently show that the code in the unsafe blocks only affects safe code in the intended manner, you can reason about the unsafe behavior in a more modular way?

Kind of a memory safety equivalent to what structured programming did for control flow.
Really?

story time: in some country poultry farmers are given based on selling prices of their products, except that for this particular case there is no market consult so the farmer is asked "how much would have people payed for your stuff" and he or she guesses some number.

obviously everyone cheated that question to get more money; a year they essentially changed the module to add a "are you lying?" question and suddenly this lowered significantly the overestimated prices farmers declared

Similar to the "Gun Club" (and also in the U.S. in the WWII era) was the Bomber Mafia - convinced that lots of long-range heavy bombers could win any war:

They were profoundly resistant to reality (such as sustained "unsustainable" loss rates in un-escorted daytime bomber attacks on Germany), or even ideological compromises (such as long-range fighter escorts for those bombers)...up to the point where the en-mass sacking of mafia members, or massive "de-emphasis" of their branch of the armed forces were clear and present dangers.

That's one of the interesting experiences when moving to Sweden. One is highly unlikely to be prescribed antibiotics here, and one gets prescribed very "old" antibiotics, that my partner who was trained in France said are hardly used anymore in France due to resistances. When she started working as a GP here she found out that it's very hard for doctors to prescribe antibiotics, i.e. the conditions under which doctors are allowed to prescribe them are very strict.

There's a lot of things that are frustrating about the medical system here, but the restrictions on antibiotics is one of the very good things.
Firm fixed contracts seem like the way to go, until you try it. What happens is you get a bunch of contractors in a bidding war trying to undercut each other until the actual bid is below cost. That's not sustainable so what happens then? The winner will cut every possible corner to try to make a profit margin and read the contract in the narrowest way possible so they can hit the government with a fat change order. Quality of the product takes a nose dive and final cost still isn't controlled.

On the other hand, time and materials contracts have exactly the problems you would expect.

I honestly don't know how these things should be done so that taxpayers get the most value for their dollars. But I do know it's more complex than just "fixed price contracts."
