I think we need to reframe the problem. If we think of it as JSON data that comes with a PDF (similar to what @xmprt suggests "PDFs as checksum") then we have the benefit of machine-readable data that is transportable but also the attached human-readable PDF version of the data.

This is exactly what we are trying to achieve at Anvil.
1. Provide the no-code tools to make it easy to convert existing PDF forms into web forms.
2. Share the web forms with perspective customers instead of PDF forms as email attachments
3. PDFs are generated as part of the workflow once the data is captured and represented in structured JSON.
4. (optional) request certification of the PDF via e-signatures

The end result is a JSON payload that can be shared via API as well as a static PDF that is stored for human consumption. In most cases, we find that our customers actually just use the PDF as an interface with legacy systems (IRS, Banks, Insurance Companies) that haven't yet figured out how to modernize to a data-first business model.

Of course this really only addresses PDFs that are used for information capture and transfer between two parties. But most PDFs that are not "standardized-forms" are made for consumption by humans not by machines (think ebooks, journal articles, graphics etc), and therefore having a JSON payload of the data attached doesn't really matter.

The killer app for this might be variable speed rate where it goes slower for sections with more meaningful or linguistically complex sections and skips white space. Would probably be helpful for podcasts too.

The study recruited 231 students into four different playback speed groups (normal speed, 1.5X, 2X and 2.5X). Each group watched a pair of short lecture videos and then immediately completed a 40-question comprehension test.

Little difference was found between the normal playback speed group and the 1.5 times or double speed groups. They all performed similarly on the tests, but the group watching videos at 2.5 times normal speed displayed minor learning impairments. A second test a week later saw similar results, suggesting neither short- or long-term comprehension was negatively affected by watching videos at faster playback speeds.
All jokes aside, this would obviously divulge order details and/or control to whomever owns that number :-) Easier to just block the damn number.

> Editors’ note, [30] March 2020: We are aware that this article is being used as the basis for unverified theories that the novel coronavirus causing COVID-19 was engineered. There is no evidence that this is true; scientists believe that an animal is the most likely source of the coronavirus.

And from "The Scientist":

> Update (March 11, 2020): On social media and news outlets, a theory has circulated that the coronavirus at the root of the COVID-19 outbreak originated in a research lab. Scientists say there is no evidence that the SARS-CoV-2 virus escaped from a lab.

If objects are represented as dictionaries, how do you do a type check, like this object obj is a Window (and not something else, like a Font, or Image)? Test for the presence of 17 properties that are the telltale marks of a Window?

Why have function parameters and local variables? Everything can be a dictionary. There can be an args and locals which are built-in sybmols. When a function executes, you access keys in args to get it arguments, and keys in locals to work with local variables. For more nuance, there can be fixargs which is a vector and keyargs which is a dict. If you want a new local variable, you just insert a new key into locals.

Maybe in the future, but still, people still have access to source imagery and they regularly make spectacular images and material from public domain data from space agencies and interest groups. You don't need 4PB unless doing something like, well, imaging a black hole.

WireGuard does not work with LLv6 by design
I follow systemd-networkd development in order to utilise advanced functionality as it lands, as well as proposing or following other issues that provide desirable functionality.

Recently I was following issue #17380 [0] "No router advertisements sent out over wireguard link" which resulted in PR #21692 [1] "network: wireguard: allow to start ndisc or radv".

Shortly after the issue was closed Jason Donenfeld (alias zx2c4 - author of Wireguard) added a comment [2]:

"Please revert this. WireGuard does not work with LLv6 by design."

As a strong proponent and designer/developer/operator of IPv6-only networks and services I was unpleasantly surprised by this comment since we rely on IPv6 link-local functionality and also use Wireguard extensively including with link-local addresses and try to ensure everything we deploy is conformant with industry standards to ensure inter-operability.

I thought I may have misunderstood the IPv6 standards from RFC4291 "IP Version 6 Addressing Architecture" section 2.1 "Addressing Model" [3] which says:

"All interfaces are required to have at least one Link-Local unicast address (see Section 2.8 for additional required addresses)."

After mentioning this in the issue zx2c4 replied with:

"I'm aware of that text. It doesn't change the fact that this isn't how WireGuard works."

In my mind point-to-point tunnels like Wireguard are closely aligned with link-local addressing so this was somewhat of a surprise!

Which leaves us with a dilemma - if we can't rely on standard IPv6 link-local behaviour on Wireguard links what similar tunnelling options should we consider? I did recently reconsider IPSec since it was originally designed as part of IPv6 although ended up being an optional extra and can be much more complex to manage.

What alternatives would the Linux-focused network professionals recommend ?

How would it be? Senators' families aren't a protected class.
Scraping itself isn't universally unethical. Google and Bing scraping websites to make information easier to access is fine, and scraping and analysing government data is even better. Public data should be public, after all.

However, the disgusting data brokers that employ most of the custom scrapers, are usually unethical. That's why I don't trust any person or company that admits being involved professionally in "scraping", because most of the time that means "we collect personal information that got leaked elsewhere and sell them on".

Indeed. It's probably the dastardly, competent CIA using innocent people's grievances to keep the Russian nation down. I mean, connect the dots! Ukraine, Belarus, the Baltics, now Kazakhstan? All suspiciously close to Russia. The CIA's sinister color revolution plot advances even as the Americans deny it!

Of course, it's an entirely unrelated fact that the collapse of the most recent Russian autocratic empire generated a crop of ethno-national, authoritarian kleptocracies in each polity that failed (...wonder why?) to join the Western alliance yet escaped complete vassalage to Moscow.

Unrelated I tell you! All nations have people who have grievances! If the FSB were as evil as the CIA, Canada would be rioting right now!

...Sure, I guess, the CIA could have "instigated" these riots, or acted to exacerbate factionalism within the oligarchy. I doubt it, but I can't deny that a competent intelligence agency could do so. Could do so because the people who "have grievances" are genuinely oppressed: they want freedom, they envy the wealth and liberation of the West. And "they" means a huge majority - not an interest group with a petty grievance, but a _generation_ with a despair of the future.

Shitty oppressive evil kingdoms are doomed to fail (one hopes: god help humanity if they figure out how to be stable in perpetuity - none have yet). If the CIA gives them a shove, good for them, means the USA is still the true vanguard of the people's revolution. When the mob brays for regicide the Kazakh kings may only blame themselves.

I'm an IT consultant who's been reading New Scientist for 30 years, not an Astrophysicist!

Now, you mention "matter ... sparse enough ... massive". I think you have answered your own question. The matter in question may be sparse but if there is enough of it, then it will become "massive" and hence detectible.

Not sure what a "cold electron" is - it sounds unlikely.

Dark Matter is postulated and not a "thing" per se. A lot of good science does seem to imply that 4/5ths of matter is unseen.

The key thing I am trying to get across is that our human need to slap a name on something is not appropriate here but we do it anyway.

The cool kids with massive budgets and impressive machines in space cannot yet tell you and I what the stuff is but for now we will call it "dark matter". It might sound a bit mad for people more used to dealing with certainties like Civil Engineering (lol - Britannia Bridge in London - resonance). I'm a Civ Eng grad.

That's quite a long way of saying "no"!
> Ossoff's bill also would apply the ban to any *dependent children* in addition to the spouses of lawmakers, whereas Hawley's bill would not.

I mean this sort of makes sense. In order for an adult child to be a dependent they have to be pretty much invalid, and not responsible for their own actions.
The problem with that is you'll start reworking on a part of a project then you'll find something in the code and say, "Why was this done this way? It'd be so much easier just to do this instead."

Then you'll investigate further and find the commit that made the thing, read your commit message above and say, "Okay, why did I change this thing? I'm guessing it solved a problem at a time, but I don't know what the problem was."

You'll decide: "I'm just going to pull this out and replace it with this easier thing".

Then everything will work except for one thing, and you'll end up wasting days trying to sort out a weird corner case. Part way through that you'll come up with a solution that is more complicated then the easy refactor you tried to make and at some point you'll think, "Oh, that's why that was like that".

You could have saved 3 days of work by just spending an extra 30 seconds to write the "Why" in your commit message. Your commit already includes the code changes (the "What"), so put a one/two sentence "Why" in your commit message.
I guess but that's not really how services like that work. And iOS is 100% a service with customer owned hardware. The real cost of your iPhone is paid by every publisher that wants to sell you stuff on your phone.

Amazon operates this way, DoorDash operates this way. You aren't paying the cost of your deliveries, sure you get charged a fee but the bulk is paid by the seller forking over 30% of their revenue for the privilege of selling to you.

Just because you're paying doesn't mean you aren't the product.

Probably made constitutional with a claus saying the trade has to be communicated by the congressmember.
It absolutely has impact in the cost of the transaction. Even if we forget the fact that US credit card customers are bribed with percentage based cash back, card processors are both providing a form of insurance, and giving both merchants and customers cashflow easing loans. If I pay my credit card in full every time, I am, in practice, paying days later than when the merchant received my payment: I think the issuing bank is dealing with that part, and is not charging the customer for it. Many a transaction processor also ends up paying merchants faster than their bank gives them the money too: Their agreements with the merchants are often a little too friendly, and they have to secure loans for a day or two: There are entire teams out there dedicated to avoiding cash flow problems on the first of the month, when so many subscriptions come in, and a lot of money changes hands.

We also have the insurance component: Say some famous musician and a few influencers decide to launch a new music festival, get a lot of money paid to their festival-making company, and then, due to mismanagement, fail to have a working music festival. Most of the people that paid with credit cards will ask for refunds, and will get them, even if the festival company goes bankrupt. Some of those people managing transactions hold the bag, and end up losing millions in refunds. There's also a wide gamut of fraudulent operations that will try to extract money from the system, either by posing as merchants, or as customers. Some of that fraud is also eaten by the companies that handle the transaction.

So while fees could go down in a world with little fraud (and they do, as companies that are large enough, and have sufficient controls, end up negotiating serious discounts), it makes sense for fees to have a flat base and a percentage base, even if the entire system between you and your customer was just attempting to break even. The right percent though, barring the most fraudulent of environments, has nothing to do with a 30% cut.
Hot take but I'd much rather politicians make their money via open, fully-disclosed investments in public companies vs shady backroom deals where their kids or shell companies get untracked kickbacks.

Pelosi represents SF. It's her congressional district. Her investing in the top SF companies (many of which include tech companies which have performed really well) is a rare case of supporting her constituent businesses. Sure it's horrible optics and politics and yada yada but people should consider that the alternative (banning all trading as a member of congress) is potentially worse for open democracy.
Question. You have said that Corbevax is “the world’s vaccine.” Does that mean that those made by Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca and Janssen are not for the world?

Answer. We say it is for the world because the capacity to produce it on a sufficient scale to cover global requirements is there. The technology to produce it already exists in various parts of the world. If Brazil wants to start producing it tomorrow, they have the technology, the factories and the know-how. Any manufacturer who can produce hepatitis B vaccines can produce this vaccine on a vast scale. That is the concept of the world’s vaccine. What I have seen with the other vaccines is that although the intention is that the whole world should have access to them, there are limitations when it comes to large-scale production, storage and intellectual property. There are many more limitations that are preventing these vaccines from being produced and received across the world.
I think you're basically describing a concentrated solar plant, for example that giant array of mirrors on the way to Vegas (Ivanpah).
Heh, thanks for digging up a the current price. I guess the other point there would be that you don’t need a high-res video to get in trouble in many cases — an Uighur with a VGA-quality image is probably still toast if the police catch them.
My personal theory is that it's straight up impossible to have a non-authoritarian government involving more than Dunbar's number of people (counting both the governors and the governed). For larger numbers, the best you can do is a multi-level federated approach where the governing assemblies on each level have no more than that number of delegates from the level below.

Not adults but dependent children. It is a pretty standard clause if you work in finance or any context where you could have insider info.
It says "dependent children", which I assume would exclude adults.

I don't remember any part of the constitution that would apply either way.
Woah. I'm glad you revealed this to me before I stumbled into a year-long yak shaving session.
I was about to quote and comment on this too. What is wrong with people.
I think you meant "Customers don't know".

I suspect if the UI offered customers to pay now using Apple's thing, or have a button to get 30% off by going to some more convoluted flow, a lot of people would choose the rebate.
Pretty cool and useful. I wonder why you wouldn't extract the assembly layer for the footprint outlines though, rather than needing to draw things. That way, if you were OK with that look, you're done, and if you wanted something more detailed you could just update the footprint and then it would be part of that footprint in your library for future uses.
Not quite the same thing, but the large mirror arrays used in those giant solar power plants are analogous, though without the circular symmetry of a Fresnel lens. An issue is efficiency: Each groove shadows its neighbor.

In fact there's no reason why a Fresnel lens can't be made from rectangular panels instead of circular grooves, except that the latter are easy to cut on a lathe.

Author uses aircraft cockpits as an example of "improvement".

I've been getting back into DCS recently, and one thing that's struck me with the A-10C (II) is just how incredibly resilient the entire design is.

Sure there's a lot of work starting the aircraft and setting up systems etc, and there's an immense learning curve, however you have a staggering amount of redundancy in case of failures, in all levels of the aircraft design.

As a consequence, pilots have been able to limp home ridiculously damaged planes, surviving to fight another day and go back to their children.

Then there's the F-16. I've only just begun to scratch the surface of this one, the simulation is equally as amazing as the A-10C. This aircraft is likewise very manual, but if something goes wrong the pilot has immediate control; in the F-35 (from what I've read) he would be completely reliant on the glass/ computers working as intended / desired, with a level of complexity that makes Tesla's entire FSD program appear as basic calculus.

That's perhaps a big tangent to computing, however I strongly feel that simplifying everything might take away more than you add. The best designs would combine quick, express usage functionality with expert panels for advanced, expert users/usage. This should be combined with a transparency of design that allows their users to understand the underpinnings.

Insider trading is illegal. Children (adult or otherwise) of individuals in possession of material non-public information about a company are not allowed to trade stocks based on that information.

The way I see it, congressional trading rules are a natural extension of insider trading rules. Children/spouses should be prevented from trading not because they are children/spouses, but if/because they’ve been made aware of inside information.

What part of the constitution would prevent such rules from being implemented?
