Should leap seconds matter then? As long as you are synchronizing with the same source of truth as the financial institution's back-end, both clocks should tell the same time.
Surprising to me. I’m an avid reader of books and news and movie watcher and I’ve never heard this phrase once. I also took 3 years of French, went to a 4 year college and I’ve reviewed lists of foreign phrases commonly used in English with my kids, all while somehow dodging this phrase for ~40 years!
Oooh what's that? Tell me
How would he be responsible for the guy offing himself? This sounds a bit like manipulation. If OP is getting pissed of about it to the point where he wants to leave, he should definitely say something to his manager. You shouldn’t just bottle this shit up and let it keep angering you every day. As long as OP tells the truth there isn’t any problem. The only difficulty is in /not/ coming off as a jealous co-worker who is just out to hurt people. The guy has been fucking himself and his team over by not working and it needs to stop.

A SaaS marches towards production; defining an engineering culture
It's great to see more thinking, that said, the issue with Nuclear is 'proliferation' which greatly increases risk.

I'm very skeptical of microreactors from that perspective: lower overhead, smaller businesses don't have the economies of scale to have all of risks mitigated. Surely most of them well, but it's the 1% 'cutting corners' that makes it a problem.

A whole host of other problems arise in the more expansive categories, but at least at a certain scale, I think there can be more comprehensive oversight, down to having 1 or 2 regulators on site at all times. I think there are only 50 Nuclear reactors operational in the US, so that's limited scale.

Especially in developing countries with weak oversight, it keeps the bar high.

A large nuclear facility in Mexico that happened to be near Gang Turf ... if there was a problem the Federales could step in and worst case scenario literally US Marines.

But 1000's of mini nuclear facilities all over North America ... that should give us pause to contemplate the systematic risk.

And FYI spent nuclear fuel also sits at these installations for some time as well. How much security can be justified at a tiny, 'micro facility' vs. a more mainstream facility?

I wonder if even this reactor design passes muster, if the actual construction and operation of such a facility would also pass muster ...

Someone in the industry told me that they don’t renew shows after a couple of years because they would have to pay more for them. Basically, they’re operating like a sports team that relies on rookie contacts to maintain profitability.
I suspect that the current state of things is that nuclear is overregulated on a 'consequences to humanity' basis but not necessarily on a 'convincing humanity to let us ever build more nuclear plants' basis.
"We want to build a nuclear reactor to supply energy exclusively to _____." is an easy blank to fill.
There's an internal user reputation score that measures the engagement of your posts. You can piggyback the business on the noise.

Advertisers are using this trick too. Healthcare ads with a gay couple, grocery ads with a Muslim, they aren't doing it because they're being inclusive, but because people click and interact with those types of ads.

Recently it's become pretty blatant. The people/signal could be removed and the ad is still a complete message. The character is adjacent to the content.

It's there as "interact-bait" to get people to furiously type at the keyboard and thus boost the advertiser's engagement score.

I like `fika` as a term because it now means almost any type of light social get-together where there's coffee/tea and possibly (but not necessarily!) sweets.

And that it can be used as a verb and as a noun. Russian speakers in Sweden have adopted the word `fika`, and now use it as a Russian word, too :D
It's funny that the sales team who wrote that article actually show they don't know what they are writing about, and probably had to meet some word count. In any case, it probably sells, why it is still online.
I think it has to do with a purpose that religion served = values core to the identity of everyone in the nation.

Modern America has no common history. America has no common ethnicity, no common roots and now no common religion.
The least religious nations are often ethnically homogeneous (Sweden, Korea) or have an incredibly strong national cultural identity of what it means to belong (France, Singapore).The US had neither, and then took down the one thing that held together 80% of the US as of 2000. ie. Christianity (mostly protestant-derived)

And I'm a Hindu-by-birth Atheist immigrant. So, I don't have any vested interest in the restoration of Europe-derived Christianity within the US.

To me, the closest thing to a common american identity is a combination of the following 3:

* Protestant values of hard work, merit and family

* Colorblind-live-and-let-live immigrant melting pot

* Capitalistic enterprising nature of shooting for the moon and that anyone can be a billionaire/President.

Now, these might not be perfect, but it was the closest thing to national values that 80% could get buy in on.

However, populist politics of the last 10 years and the change in wealth distribution post 2000 has seen wholesale rejection of almost all of these values from both the populist left and the populist right. As the nation continues fracturing, the resentment towards your fellow countrymen grows to the point that you feel no civic duty towards your fellow countrymen, and maybe even take joy in looting them.

Religion unites as long as it is homogeneous. High level of religious beliefs would not help much, if they didn't unify people through a collective identity. So in this case, high levels of religious participation would not have helped, because there would still never be any agreement on a common religious identity given the degree of religious heterogeneity.

On an aside, I always find it funny when people say that countries that tolerate heterogenous identities such as the US or India are discriminatory or racist. Yeah, as if you with your 95+% cultural/religious/ethnic homogeneity have any right to speak about diversity. You can already see Europe coming apart at its seams with a small influx of culturally diverse middle-eastern refugees. The friction you see, is a result of an open system that allows each of these incompatible cultural identities to get a voice in the national discourse.
A website is a document. An API is a computer program. Neither of these requires an internet connection. localhost:3000 can make requests against localhost:3001 just fine.

I make websites at home and serve them on my local network. Anybody attached to our wifi can visit them, even if that wifi isn't connected to the larger internet.

One of the benefits of CI is that I don't need to make assumptions about the environment I'm operating in - that is, I don't need to worry about a tool like `jq` being installed, whether I have GNU or BSD `date`, or the biggest one in this case, whether I've even installed a commit hook after cloning the repo. It only takes one new hire that hasn't set up the hooks to merge a change that makes the repo fail checks.

Those people are required to and have taken vaccine in order to attend. 95% of Australians have at this point. There are check-ins and density limits and other mandates to limit the spread, and it is still spreading at a rate faster than testing can keep up.

Post infection immunity does not of itself prevent taking vaccine, and having both is the most protective, though their individual effectiveness is comparable [0]. Acknowledging post-infection immunity in place of vaccine-mediated immunity doesn’t make sense as a policy for the country: it doesn’t materially affect many people, it decrease the number of susceptible people at all, and the vaccines are free to all and easily available to most.

In the case of the tennis player, if the recent tests are correctly recorded, and there is significant reason to doubt that they are[1], this is the second time he has been infected with COVID [2].

None of this is to say that the Australian federal government hasn’t embarrassed itself at every opportunity with this fiasco. The visa was issued apparently in contradiction to its own rules, the player was allowed to travel anyway and treated badly, overnight staff at the airport had to decide to overrule a departmental error and trigger this circus, breaching procedural fairness in the process - and then instead of making a prompt decision, the minister waited until the Friday night TV news had started to announce the decision to cancel, in what appears to be an effort to manage the message. Atrocious. Inept. Governing by press release to distract from their failings.

Well one advantage could be that you get the tooling around versioning in case you want automatic minor version updates or stuff like that. And I guess others might find value in inserting it using their bundler as described in the docs if they have other css-related tooling in their bundler like minification or linting.

My wife and I have > 40 years of industry experience between us in Silicon Valley, including two FAANGs, five unicorns, and several less exciting companies. Anecdotally, we've observed an increase in the percentage of female engineers here since the late '90s. And I'd be surprised if it was less in the '90s than in prior decades. The culture certainly has changed, but I think that's more a consequence of the insane growth in the field than anything to do with gender.

This kind of blantent theft wouldn't happen in a third world country. The contents of the train would be much more meaningful to the sender and recipients and they'd raise hell with the shipping company over the loss, which would cause the shipping company to hire an army of underpaid security guards as deterrents (if you've spent most of your life in an economy with minimum wage/universal education, you haven't fully experienced the way the global south can point an army of people at the most trivial problems). In US, much of the value of these containers could be restored to the shipper or recipient with shipping insurance or credit card chargebacks. Additionally, higher GDP means these packages (even the medical ones) are just too small an expense to the recipients to rile them up. I have a hard time believing developing country shipping companies can insurance their operations and remain as profitable as US companies can

Once the trains insurance company/fund (or UPS? Amazons?) starts to take a hit, they will respond swiftly with a solution somehow. It'll probably take a few more months of this to hit their bottom line.
Rather, it literally translates as "I want you", and is often used in the romantic sense more than "te amo". My impression is that "amor" in Spanish isn't as single-mindedly restricted to love interests as it is in English: amor/amar is used for close friends and relatives as well.

Many things in knowledge work are very hard to time. Even reading a document has huge variance.

I've settled on just two time blocks: morning to lunch and lunch to evening.

Energy level has a very strong effect too, possibly a 10x effect to time. Sometimes I get a thing done in 30 mins, sometimes it takes the whole day. And sometimes I stress out about it taking the whole day, depleting my energy level and it takes two days.

However, it's useful to time routine work, like picking up groceries and meetings. The consistent things anchor the rest of the day.
Unformed thought: This sounds like a situation where something shaped kinda like the (or at least an improved form of the) patent system might help.
That would be irrelevant in this case. Grammarly has no issues with the videos, as the company stated in the official responses on HackerOne.

Grammarly's plagiarism self-check is to help its users avoid accidental or unintentional plagiarism by highlighting text that may need citations. If a user is using countermeasures to mask plagiarism, it's not accidental or unintentional, so Grammarly stays out of it. Grammarly is NOT a plagiarism policy enforcement tool.
Ask HN: Why did Google Photos stop allowing photo locations to be updated?
My dad dug up an old (analog) photo, carefully took a picture with his phone, and sent it to me. I uploaded it to Google Photos and noticed the location was set to where he took the digital photo, not where the original one was taken. No problem; I know how to update a photo's location... but apparently at some point in the past year, Google decided to block users from doing this? It says you can't edit a location if it was set by a phone.

A number of people have noticed, and asked Google for an explanation, or even just asked the Internet in general for speculation, but so far, there seem to be no answers, or even guesses:
https://www.google.com/search?q=%22google+photos+can%27t+edit+locations+added+by+your+camera%22

What's even weirder is, I can download and then delete the photo from Google, update or remove its location on my machine, and then upload it right back, and then Google is happy to allow me to set the location and even update it over and over again. But that's a pain.

So, HN, can anyone here guess what possible reason Google could've had for this bizarre product/policy change?

> "Querer" is more common language and applied non-romantically all the time, and "amar" is more poetic and veers more towards romantic love, but they both mean the same.

It's interesting from the point of view of English and Russian. When we tal about people:

- In English `love` can be used for both romantic and non-romantic love.

- In Russian `love` (especially nowadays) feels to be almost exclusively either romantic or family-related (love between parent-child, between siblings etc.). You can't really tell your friend you love them :) It's weird

There's of course no reason to start using npm wizardry for simple.css alone. That would be silly.
