There is no code review by legal. There is a talk, usually multiple talks, between legal representatives and the engineers + manager delivering something. It's the engineers and manager job to explain what the piece of work will do and help legal understand its implications so they can gather knowledge and come up with their assessment given their skills in Law.

I think you read it too literally, legal will review what is the impact of some changes in compliance and so on but you, as an engineer, is responsible to translate what the code/feature/system is doing to something that legal can understand and reason about, it's part of your job if you are anywhere senior+ level.

I had to interact quite a lot with legal in my past couple of jobs, it wasn't ever an issue because the legal department seemed to be staffed with smart people that would understand what I was telling them, or would ask relevant questions to clarify their understanding, it's a two-way street, not a button to push on the PR to "ask for legal review".
Ass far as we understand, out brains use quantum mechanics only as much as our processors use quantum mechanics already - the world is quantum mechanical, so our brains are as well.

However, given the scale of known brain features, the temperature of the brain, and other sources of noise, it's very very very hard to imagine how the brain could be a quantum computer.
One thing I really like about motivated non-native English speakers is that, of the ones I interact with at least, they write in clear full sentences.

I should really become more Zen, but I can literally keep track in my head of when my friends start interacting in wider circles and start saying "u" and "ngl" etc. etc. It shouldn't really bother me but it does, writing good English is no slower than mocking (I think it's implicitly saying you don't care about what you're writing) the person on the other end writing full sentences (grumble grumble, working with older programmers has spoiled me in this regard)
Most likely yes. The difficult part about such a claim is just having a quaternionic QM theory that is composable and interesting.
It's the equivalent of taking an a test where you can use the internet. Sure you know the information needed to answer the question exists, but it can be difficult to extract the answer and word it into at English sentence.

I did like the book, back when I was completely new to DevOps. It's also a fictional story in the same vein as the one on reddit basically same template, but more mystic. Explaining DevOps through a story.

Or quit and find a workplace with a level of bureaucracy that you are comfortable with. Surely that's an option as well?
Well at the moment this is not true. Sweden can't even saturate the existing transmissions lines between Finland and Sweden as the national grid in Sweden is not in good enough shape and will most likely take over a decade to be properly fixed. (Basically the lines between northern and southern Sweden are not good enough).

https://www.fingridlehti.fi/en/ja-kantaverkkokeskuksesta-soi... (this article is from summer about moving it the other way but the same happened now during the winter but other direction)

This is one of the reasons why the electricity prices hiked up as high as they did here. Basically Norway and Sweden do have some electricity available for cheaper then running reserve gas plants in Finland but they can't get that electricity from the south all the way up north.

And being that reliant on another nation is not good for the national safety of a country. Imagine if a significant portion (like lets say 30%) of the electricity used in US came from solar farms in Mexico (or even further south being transmitted through multiple countries). This would make US economy and national defense really vulnerable (both require massive amounts of energy to really function)
I think my point is that Bitcoin isn’t different (in some aspects) compared to other asset.

If a company accidentally sent a bundle of cash via registered mail to the wrong person, the recipient (if known) would probably have to return that cash after a court ruling.

If Coinbase made an erroneous transfer of BTC to one of their customers (whose identities they know), the recipient would probably have to return the bitcoins after a court ruling.

If the recipient of the mailed cash is unknown, or the person associated with the receiving wallet is unknown, then the court could obviously do nothing. But that inability is a function of the knowledge about the parties involved, not of the underlying technologies.

Bitcoin obviously makes it much easier to be unknown to the judicial system. But in my view, for it to be completely not-theft, the recipient should be able to announce publicly what he has done without fear of repercussions.

Similar to how e.g digging up historical artifacts in some jurisdictions is a legal way to gain ownership of something that previously had a different owner.

It probably doesn't help that there's British English right next door, and then proper American English everywhere else. IMO you should standardize Euro English. If you have your own version of the language, nobody can say you are doing it wrong.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euro_English

I say, take full license -- analyze, catalog, and standardize however ya'll'd like to! I say keep the American spellings, though, z's are more exciting. They add pizzazz. Rather than whatever the boring Britishized equivalent to pizzazz is.
It's fine now, but there's been a lot of posts like this, with minimal or hidden details. So I'd like to remind people to just post the details up front, because otherwise it looks no different to someone who was rightfully banned.

I've had some bad experiences with Google too. They basically just blacklisted and refunded all the money for clicking on ads on my app. Logically, I think it's fine, I broke some rules, and they reacted accordingly. But the whole play store experience seems to be assuming that everyone is a bad actor. And that is just very irritating.

> can't wait for the US empire to fall so we can all switch to Castellano

In the unlikely event that US falls, I don't think anybody would switch to anything else when communicating cross culturally, because people across the world are more likely to know broken English than even a single word of Mandarin.

If people from, say, Germany, France, Italy, China, Egypt, India, Brazil, Spain, Saudi Arabia, and Argentina get together in a room, the odds are English would be the language most of them would be familiar with, even though it's not any of their native language.

Over here in India people in different states natively speak totally different languages, with totally different scripts and everything.

For example:

(State — Language)

Karnataka — Kannada

Kerala — Malayalam

Tamil Nadu — Tamil

Andhra Pradesh — Telugu

Uttar Pradesh — Hindi

West Bengal — Bengali

Maharashtra — Marathi

These are just a few examples. There's atleast 28 states in India and even more languages. In most of northern India I think you can get by with Hindi. However, not everyone knows Hindi.

And when people from, say, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh have a conversation, then unless everyone in that group knows Hindi it'll likely be in English even though it's not the native language of anybody in that group.

> Also everything is measured in stone-weights and horse-lengths.

Lmao. But these days I notice that most American youtubers (atleast the ones I'm subscribed to) would also mention the metric equivalent of whatever they're talking about. So kudos to them for being mindful of their international viewership :)
Thats why I switched to plex. Being able to chromecast makes it possible to use any of my tv's not just the one that had the pc connected. I now run chromecast's only and a plex server.
I have gone the other way, I am a native british english speaker learning another language.

I had learning difficulties when I was a kid, which meant that my reading was slow (its not now) but my spelling was utterly shite(it is still)

When the first child was born, I decided that when I was bathing them I would learn a new language. I can read and write dutch slowly now, at the level of a 6-8 year old. I don't speak it very well.

however when it came time to teach my child to read, I realised just how much of a cunt english is.

* spelling: there are no rules. I just thought it was me being dense.(I before E, except after C, apart from these 1500 corner cases in the most common 10k words. )

* Pronunciation: some words are greek, others latin, french, germanish, some anglo saxon. None of them have rules.

* Syntax: its not german.

* fuck me there are loads of words

* Idioms are not universal.

On the point of introvert/extrovert, I very much agree. I am able to be who I am in English, because I know I can react, change tact and update my responses in real time to match the "social impedance". I have a very fine grained, real time control over the cheeky/formal - funny/sombre - flirty/impassive axes (and much more).

In a second language, I have to plan far more, which means I'm committed or silent.
Ask HN: Are micro web frameworks a good fit in 2022?
Hi HN,

Been looking to create a quick web app sometime in the new year and have been seeing recent posts on HN about Ruby on Rails (now that 7 has released) and Django 4 as well. I've also seen similar praise for Phoenix as well.

I haven't seen the same love for micro web frameworks like Flask, Sinatra etc, but always seen the above 3 as bloated but not quite sure.

So as the title suggests, are micro web frameworks still a good fit? What are your thoughts on this and how is the ecosystem around this?

Bonus if you are using them.
I can certainly relate to what the author says about the English spoken in Europe. I'm Canadian, and spent half a year in the Flemish part of Belgium a decade or so back as part of an internship program. Through the program made friends with people from all over the world, but mostly Europe. Interestingly, in that group most people found the member of the group from London easier to understand than me from the west coast of Canada, when we were both speaking 'normally'. I was pretty natural to fall into the habit of speaking what we referred to as "International English" though—basically the simplified form the author here refers to.

Still occasionally had funny exchanges though, like when my Belgian coworkers assured me that my use of the phrasing "almost exactly" couldn't possibly make sense.
Love both ideas…
I thought dinosaurs were not adapted to aquatic environments? Marine reptiles like mosasaurs, plesiosaurs and ichthyosaurs were not dinosaurs. Spinosaurus, though, was semiaquatic.
For the last 8 years or so I've been communicating primarily using global English. I moved overseas a few times, my partner comes from another country, and besides talking to my family I rarely use my native language. My inner voice mostly switched to English, too.

There's one negative side effect I've noticed - I feel less smart than before. I'm not sure if it's a real thing or not, but I feel I can't fully express myself in English. I consider myself quite a fluent speaker, but my vocabulary is still quite limited compared to my native language. It's enough for 99% of the conversation I have, but whenever I say or think something, I have this feeling that I lack words to precisely express what I want.
> Other countries give welfare benefits in form of money but that can be spent on things like addictions

Why is it that when discussing welfare benefits the topic of them being spent on addictions is often brought up.

If an addiction is a problem, treat the addiction instead of treating welfare recipients as children. How pissed would you be if your employer dictated how you spent your wages because certain activities went against their beliefs. No donating to your local church because they believe religion is silly and their employees shouldn’t be wasting money on such things. People would be pissed. An extreme example I know but helps get the point across, but same could also be said about any vice we partake in.

Coming from a shitty childhood myself such things were often brought up and implemented poorly which tbh actually hurt us as kids growing up.

Yeah a few will exploit what ever system that’s put into place, you have only got to look at most tax systems to see that, but you don’t punish the many just because of the few.

But just a bit further down the article

> Mothers have a choice between taking the box, or a cash grant, currently set at 140 euros, but 95% opt for the box as it's worth much more.

Bulk ordering and a fairly consistent birth rate will mean the government are not paying retail for these items so the box can be worth more than straight cash even if the cost of the government per box is close to the cash grant but gives an incentive to parents take higher value to them option.

Sorry for the rant, it just pisses me off having been though it. EDIT: Also lack of coffee, I'm grumpy without coffee :-P

This reminds me of something that was once linked on HN but that I can't remember enough of to find again. The thesis was that some of the iconic quantum weirdness™ simply disappears when you just dispense with taking the real part (or the norm) of the wave function as a final step and instead just consider the complex value. IIRC this seemed to made the double-slit experiment way more straightforward. Does that ring a bell to anyone?

World proportional is not good enough for this type of task. If we are to rely on AI for things like identifying people in pictures in a trial, we would need equal representation in the data set, so the AI doesn't have any kind of systematic bias. Otherwise, the AI's bias will compound errors in the real world. So you would need as many pictures of Australian aborigenees in the data set as Han Chinese people if you wanted to be sure there isn't a risk that a random person would be confused for someone of the over or under represented groups.
> If anything, it's the established boring companies that are doing something useful (even if that something is not sexy or exciting), while a lot of startups are just burning through someone else's money designing things that no one really wants or needs.

To be honest, SME remain the economic backbone of most modern countries and the size of SME still allow them to operate somewhat effectively. Most large companies are either slowly drifting to irrelevance, surviving on a steady diet of acquisitions from teams who could previously achieve things or milking a business line they established when they were smaller and somewhat nibble. Large companies successfully growing by building what you call important stuff without acquiring are the exception.
"Horseradish" aside (lol) my favorite Russian euphemism for this is:

"[I] spun [this] on my dick" (на хую вертел). Spun as in "to spin", "to rotate", "to twirl." The imagery is a bit absurd, as is the case with most of these. The Greek one with the flowers and the bees is 10/10 as well.

I had a good laugh. Thanks, author.

Hey, great article, great topic!

You missed one very interesting angle for the problem (speaking of games), namely Voting theory, which is an important part of game theory!

In voting theory, there is a concept called Kemeny ranking (Kemeny–Young method), which I believe is exactly what you are looking for. It is of course an NP-hard problem, but that shouldn't scare you away.

In a voting setting, each movie would "vote" for a ranking of, say, the electric unit; i.e., the gaffer comes before the other people. When you have many movies, you have many votes that you want to combine in order to rank all the candidates, while minimizing inconsistencies. A seminal paper was published in the journal of the ACM, Aggregating inconsistent information: Ranking and clustering by Ailon, Charikar, and Newman.

An important insight is that your directed graph is actually what we call a tournament; for every two vertices a and b, there is an edge either from a to b, or from b to a.

In that case, you want to solve a well known and widely studied problem, namely Feedback Arc Set in Tournaments (FAST). Check out the paper in ISAAC by Karpinski and Schudy, Faster algorithms for feedback arc set tournament, Kemeny rank aggregation and betweenness tournament (it's on arxiv).
The profile picture of the author sums up the whole thing. Emotional outburst. I understand blockchains perfectly. Aiding crime and being a pyramid scheme are the only things they have been shown to solve so far.

If you can afford it, go one better.

I started out buying expensive home Wi-Fi routers, and I now have a box of expensive home routers I've decommissioned because they have vulnerabilities and stopped receiving updates. Probably well over ~£1000-2000 spent on them over the past ~decade.

Next I switched to separate Router/Switch/AP and started with a Ubiquiti EdgeSwitch 8 POE, EdgeRouter Lite 3 and an AP-AC-Pro. Later I added a EdgeSwitch 24.

Recently my EdgeRouter kicked the bucket, and wanting to be entirely free from manufacturer updates so I bought a Protectli box, flashed it with Coreboot (instead of AMIBIOS) and installed pfSense. I still use the AP-AC-Pro for now but will look for more open WiFi AP options once that dies or I move from my London apartment to a bigger home.

I say "if you can afford it" because the Protectli box came in at just over £500 once RAM and SSD were added (I got the i3 model), the AP-AC-Pro is ~£120 (IIRC) and the EdgeSwitch another ~£150. This isn't "reasonably" priced equipment for home use, nor would I recommend Ubiquiti of late, but it's working well for me at the moment.
"This account automatically submits a 'Who is Hiring?' post at 11 AM Eastern time on the first weekday of every month."

Ok, I get it now, will need to wait until Jan to post.

Seems like a post every two weeks would make sense.
American companies tend to give employees as little as possible. Two weeks vacation is 10 days and you may be on call on the last weekend of that. Then you might get a few sick days but it's never enough if you actually get sick with the flu or Covid. So, many of us have to go to work sick or use vacation days. Nobody wants to use vacation while sick, so other people at work get sick because we go to work sick.

And then your vacation has to be approved. I had a manager who would only approve 1 week of vacation at a time. He said 2 weeks off is too long away from work.

So, it varies from one company to another, but generally it's not good because there's too much bullshit involved.
Ahh the lifer life.
I think there'll be major conflict of interest if a founder does that.

The closest thing I've observed to that scenario is Group Nine, a digital media company, which launched a SPAC that it planned to merge with another media company, then merge with itself.

Group Nine, however, recently merged itself (minus its SPAC) with a rival, Vox Media, and hasn't talked about the plans for the SPAC henceforth, but it's suspected that the combined Group Nine-Vox Media will merge with it.

DNA's half life has been estimated at 521 years [1] in moderate temperatures, so after 1k years a quarter of it would still be left. That must depend on the conditions though. DNA 500,000 years old has been found in ice cores (presumably a higher half life there, since of e.g. the 3 billion base pair human genome, 3e9/2**(500e3/521) ≈ 3.8e-280 would be left after that time with that half life).
