That is not true, by standard if you are a legal immigrant, you are entitled to social services and get the help you need. This can be seen most recently by the Afghanistan refugees resettling in the USA.

Guaranteed food, guaranteed shelter, guaranteed medicare, guaranteed access to education. Expedited identity services.

In any state, or province, you can look it up and see what services are available to legal immigrants.

The issue I stated above, and in other replies is that many Central and South Americans are here illegally, and that is why they fall into these types of traps and are continually stuck. There are more ways to access USA legally and green card is one of them. The most common one that I did not say was marriage and then the spouse that immigrated can sponsor their family.

While you write quite happy and positive, I urge you to not drink this sort of kool-aid.

While immigration to the USA is not perfect, there are services that help legal and in many cities/states they even ASSIST illegal aliens by allowing them to have identity cards, not enforcing laws, dropping cases, adding several languages to their social services, offering interpreter services, having guaranteed defense help for lawsuits (tenant rights) and the right to an attorney (public defender.)

I also suggest you review this, many immigrants and Americans don't.

Think there’s positives and negatives. Some of the stuff possible with canvas is amazing and wouldn’t have even been possible at all in flash really and it does integrate as a first class citizen on the page, doesn’t feel janky like flash did sometimes.

But on the other hand a 12 year old can’t figure it out in a week and ship an animation they made from scratch to the web.
The fact that people didn't port is not an argument that they shouldn't have ported.

Tor is primarily a security and privacy project. Arguing that they should keep an insecure version because people decided to ignore the security implications of that insecure version is an awful argument. Especially when those people had well over a year to execute.

Your use case for Tor seems to be unrelated to the projects goals.
Most US states allow you to get a learners permit at 15.5 years, so that you can get your license when you first turn 16.

There are limitations- an accompanying adult, number of non adult passenger restrictions to limit distractions etc, but the reality is they are still in control of the vehicle.

Out in the country, it is relatively common to drive yourself to school the last year or two. Trying to raise the age to 18 would not go over well at all!
The data won't give it away, at least as long as the noise is sufficiently hidden with steganography and not just a mystery blob. But the tooling setup you use to access the cleartext with your passphrase, without starting from first principles each time, that setup might very much give it away if the system comes under serious scrutiny.

Note that there's a huge difference between "until proven guilty" and "until considered suspect": suddenly obscurity cannot be shrugged off at all, quite the opposite.
Indians have poor metabolic health otherwise though: extremely carb-heavy diets, widespread diabetes etc.

> Is it really so impossible to create new labour laws, agreements or whatever we need that actually take into account the existence of app-based casual labour realities of our time?

What's the point of having labour laws if all that's needed to just discard them to reduce labour costs is a very thin veneer of an app? What's so fundamentally different about an app?
What makes you think that cost (or lack thereof) has anything to do with whether or not something is imported? The two things are completely orthogonal.
Likely because it's BILLIONS of dollars of R&D with 0 customers at this point. You'd be building a factory HOPING to get design wins. If I'm Nvidia or Apple or insert company - am I going to risk an entire generation of chips on a startup in Europe with 0 experience beyond what they can poach from competitors? Whatever this European company is, they'd likely need to sell at a massive loss for a generation or 2, just to prove they can do it, and then hope to win some of the profitable contracts from an Apple or Samsung or Nvidia. I would imagine the investment would make a nuclear plant look cheap. And all of that is assuming TSMC or Intel don't build fabs in response to strangle you out of the market.
I mean, this is a judgment, from a judge. Isn't he making a decision by definition?

In this case (I assume) Deliveroo argues that it is not a delivery company and so isn't part of the collective labour agreement, and complainants claimed that it was and that it is.

The judge decides that Deliveroo quacks and walks sufficiently like a duck to be considered one.

I don't see why "this seemingly doesn't require decision making at all". It was the entire thing the parties disagreed about.
From the top-down, metrics focused perspective, I agree.

From an individual, bottom-up perspective, most people don't have a high risk of death from COVID. The majority will avoid spreading any disease to others, usually by self-enforced quarantine. Some individuals will die, but all of us will die of something some day and we should come up peace with that.

The only top-down mitigation to death of a specific cause is legislation. For an endemic disease, legislation to avoid the spread of that disease must necessarily approach tyranny.

I've addressed the overtaxing if the health system I'm reply to a sibling. It is unclear to me that any overtax if the health system (which is, from what I can glean from the CDC limited, in the US, to a few states) is due to COVID directly rather than institutional responses to COVID.
I left Netflix: a career reflection
My question is, how did you make it run exactly the same on all platforms (Windows, macOS, and Linux). No other cross-platform software works as seamless like this.
I can't find a citation now, but my understanding of why these test use bluetooth is that the FDA + CDC want to know how many people are testing positive. So the app has to report results to them.
You mean to tell me they reverse engineered the bluetooth communication of some obscure device when they could've just used a ballpoint pen to draw another line on that piece of paper?

Oh. I haven't followed lately. Thanks a lot for the updated info!

Really looking forward to what the community will build with OCaml 5.00! IMO it will shoot the language straight into the mainstream and I can't wait. OCaml is applicable for like 90% what's out there, including as a Python replacement. And its syntax is often much terser than Rust (although the higher-level typing constructs can be confusing to read).

After that, all that's left is a tool like Elixir's mix or Rust's cargo and the language is basically not only in the 21st century but much farther than many others! Looking forward to it.
Problem is, I can often see the faint line right out of the package, before any reagent or sample is applied. I get really OCD about that.
NVidia isn't a fab company or a EUV lithography machine manufacturing company....

Perhaps you mean Samsung (which also uses ASML).

And no, Intel didn't "strike back". They forced an existing manufacturing technology to run even hotter and still manage to work.
I'm not challenging your assertion that idle games may be hard to define. I agree with that (sort of).

I'm challenging the assertion that any game that has a "watch and see"/management component is an idle game; Factorio is definitely not one, for example. Neither is StarCraft, even though it has the "build resources" component, where you are not actively building those resources but waiting till they build themselves.

A management game is not necessarily an idle game; that's too broad a perspective to be useful.
For what it's worth, I think of Rust as simply encoding modern C++ best practices in the compiler and dropping all the old cruft.

ChaCha20-Poly1305 (2016)
I can’t imagine hitting my child on the head, even lightly. The messaging that sends is so wrong on so many levels. Besides which, they will likely end up hitting someone else on the head when they don’t like what they’re doing.

But, aside from that, if you’re looking for a mental model for teaching children, I think Reinforcement Learning is highly applicable. If you consider their observation space, action space, and reward signals, you start to see that you have quite a lot of levers for helping them learn and grow.
Yep, I'm fine with this.
There's a need to have plastic around a banana: it spreads less good that smell it does to ripe other bananas around it, which 'modern' bananas do (they're send while green and ripe in grocery store). Whether that is a valid reason and how valid is a different debate.

The biggest metric for me is social security.

I don't need to worry about my family in Europe. No matter what health problems they have, they will be taken care of in a good public hospital and it won't cost them a thing.

When my kids are old enough to go to university, they won't have to take out a loan to pay for courses.

If they drop out of college, they'll still be able to get a decent job that pays a living wage.

They'll have access to affordable child care for their children, and they won't need a 200.000€ job just so they can afford living close to their job.

I don't have to be afraid of getting mugged or shot on the street if I go to the wrong part of town because we have much lower crime rates because our social security system helps people who run into hardship instead of punishing them.
If you follow VB on Twitter or read his stuff, you will know he is pretty humble intellectually. He also collaborates with versatile social scientists like Weyl and Cowen.

You think VB and EK don’t have their ideas or writings vetted by their scholarly friends?
The tests I have here say if you see any lines that are not the control line the test is not good. You might want to double check and contact the manufacturer.
> The cluster should be powerful enough to coordinate the traffic lights.

This probably says more about how bloaty modern software development is, than the capabilities of your hypothetical macro-M1. You wouldn't need a cluster. Just one should do. The entire traffic light system of San Francisco ran on a few PDP-8 controllers, once. About as fast as the macro M1 at 25 kHz. (Even at 25 kHz, with parallel execution, it'd still be completing hundreds of thousands of 64-bit-data instructions per second, running circles around something like the original IBM PC or even the early Macintosh.)

With hardware so cheap and software stacks so deep these days, we often grossly overestimate the number of cycles really necessary to complete a task.
Conti ransomware gang weaponized Log4j2, now with a full attack chain
There is a major difference between being able to poke into low-level details and being able to program at full efficiency in Microsoft Notepad or ed (which is what the OP seems to be advocating for).

One is a rare and occasionally extremely useful skill, the other is basically a party trick, like being able to recite the Illiad from memory.
I've managed to do it, but my path was a little different from yours. I didn't have any luck finding a job after finishing my CompSci degree, and ended up taking an application support role a few months after college out of desperation. I did that for about 2 years, and then ended up picking up an entry level development job at a different company in the same area.

The easiest way is probably to switch roles internally, but that wasn't much of an option for me, and doesn't sound like an option for you either.

What worked for me was looking for roles at growing, non-tech companies. I looked for companies with a large IT department, where their core business isn't to sell the technology you will be producing (so internal tools and such). These might not be the "best" roles long term but this should help you get your foot in the door, which is what you need more than anything at this point. These sorts of companies seem to be less picky about qualifications, and in my experience seem to be more likely to pick up inexperienced candidates to "grow with the team" especially if they already have established a decent amount of senior-level talent internally.

As far as how to sell yourself, my advice here is to sell yourself as former support analyst who is passionate about development and wants a career change, plain and simple. Six years of technical support will make recruiters want to push you into a support role, so get used to that. Be sure to make them aware of the development experience you got on the job as well as your side projects, and definitely lay it all out on your resume, but there's nothing wrong with being in support and wanting to switch to development. Own it, and let them know what advantages your support experience gives you that other developers won't have.

When I think about the "tower of abstractions" collapsing I usually end up coming back to the thought that it won't be a total collapse. It'll be a collapse to or around a specific layer of abstraction that we need to rework from (eg: something significant changed about a previously safe assumption). Like the 1906 earthquake in SF, it knocked down most buildings that had architecture that could not support the stress of an earth quake.
That's interesting! I'll have to try it out as most my interactions with ST revolve around saving files.
AFAIK 1 degree does not count as a fever, especially in children. That's within the range of normal variation.
That sounds pretty nice. Like if you do a backspace into a right pointing arrow (->) does it turn a dash?
There are many paradigms in programming. Each have their strengths. A purely functional approach ala Haskell is not the only way. Based on your comment, it would seem no one should use C/C++. Yet many do. It depends on what you want to achieve, what is your abstraction budget, your performance requirement, legacy code...

OCaml offers a pragmatic functional approach to programming. And now you are going to be able to have your OCaml code run in a truly parallel fashion on your multicore CPU.

In the future there are plans to add typing to effects though. (There is support for effects currently but its untyped and experimental). When that happens you can track changes to state (which is a kind of "effect") if you want to...

Do yourself a favour and keep your goals to yourself.
I may be imagining the lines. But there’s no difference between imagining one and seeing one when it comes to your confidence level and thus the value of the test. Google “imagining faint line” and see what a common problem it is.

There was an interesting thread last week about different abilities to visualize images in your head - some people describe visualizing things in a faint sort of way, not a full on visual hallucination. Take that ability, mix it with the anxiety of fearing a test result and the tendency to second guess yourself, and I think you can see the value of electronics making the determination for you.

The spaceship in WALL-E but with Metaverse VR pr0n.
I have three side projects now. One of them (active) keeps expanding and it might be fair to call it a program instead of a project. It has had a large aspect of discovery; often when I try to invent a new feature I go on a long detour that involves discovering the nature of the system, once that has been unveiled the actual invention and creation seems almost trivial.

Project #2 has an early prototype but there is no energy going into it because #1 is in a state of ferment.

#1 and #2 are prerequisites for the social bit of #3 which is frankly a moonshot.

Really I don’t add new projects often and I rarely let a project be motivated by ‘learn a new language’, ‘learn a new framework.’ Often those are just black holes. Go learn LISP or Haskell and you will either fail to learn it and still think the grass is greener over there or if you really do learn it you realize that ‘a monad like is like a burrito’ is the definition of insanity and there is a good reason why people dream of LISP and Haskell and really write C, COBOL, ColdFusion, JavaScript, whatever.

Sometimes my projects force me to learn a new tech and then I do it. I am looking forward to WebGL.

Ask HN: For finance nerds, why do inverted yield curves predict Deflation?
I think I understand why inverted yield curves in the US or Eurodollar rates are supposed to be a sign for a coming recession. But I don't get why a lot of pundits say that it also mean deflation is coming and totally rule out a longer time of inflation.

Also I am not sure I get why this signal is supposed to be nearly foolproof. Doesn't it just rely on the wisdom of the crowd. If most traders think there will be a recession then the yield curves inverts, but the majority could still be wrong? Or is there another mechanism which inverts the yield curve?
They're still a thing as recently as a year or two ago when I looked into it. They're "perfect" in that the receiver can't be identified from the message or its channel (other than catching him with his radio), and that the message cannot be reversed (encoded w/ a one time pad). So they're hard to replace.
What's wrong with explicitly closing it though?
Well even if laws can be revised the courts aren't really in a position to do so.

At least, if the separation of powers is still intact.
A quick search shows there are a little over 30M addresses with a nonzero balance, which is just under 2^25.

That means the actual probability would be about 1/(2^135).

At a million hashes per second, that means you would likely find one after about 10^27 years.
