> Andrew's family rules Britain (for what, 1200 years? [1]),

Try a bit over 100. The House of Windsor ascended to the throne of the United Kingdom in the misty past of … 1901. Even if we disregard royal houses and look at just successions then you run into some awkward situations pretty early, including a nice run of kings born in Hanover and speaking primarily German.

A lot of royalist propaganda is an attempt to tie relatively short lived dynasties into some mythical long lived chain of succession, mostly to reinforce the idea that they rule by right rather than by force or accident of history. In reality royal houses are regularly discarded when they become too inept, too inbred, or (in England’s case) too Catholic for the people to tolerate.

Why should there be? Resumes have to be read by humans to judge if they match what is needed. Checking boxes and matching buzzwords only gets you so far.
What used to seem so simple on the surface is inevitably more complex than I'd assumed. It makes sense though. I'm guessing this something that frequent HN posters come to understand sooner or later, and now I understand too.

It seems like the problem isn't a lack of standards, but rather a lack of adoption and/or agreement on which standard to follow
As a Utahn, can confirm. There are some things that bug me about this state (ridiculous weather sometimes, and religious monoculture), but I love it, and it's my home. The ultimate blow would be to see Californians evacuate their cesspit and redo it all over again in this beautiful state.
If companies wanted switching jobs or hiring to be streamlined and simple, they wouldn't do the job games they play.
40% is not the median of the studies which appear to have it at 70%. I’m of the view that it’s 80%+. I think there are some improvements that can be made to the studies but I have not had a good enough reason to redo their math.
It's hard to turn a good profit with small scale agriculture today. One has to do it for the love of it, or self sufficiency like homesteading.

The biggest issue is land and location. Good land is expensive and it's extraordinarily expensive in the areas where many if the highly compensated devs live. Remember that the median US dev salary is around $110k. That doesn't provide much land. The ones who do have the money would have to enjoy it more than alternative lifestyles that may be more attractive (bigger house, fancier stuff, vacations), as the compensation would be a relative pittance.

I'm a beekeeper, garden, and grow mushrooms. I would love land but can't afford it.
At least 85 people have been charged with carrying or using a weapon during the riot[1]. It seems like a large number were knives and other blades which, while not as eye-popping as carrying a rifle into the Capitol, are just as illegal.

No, we dont because non-keyboard symbols are irritating to type. Look at the history of APL and other symbol based languages.

In any case, the computer doesn't care. It is either a character or something similar stored as binary representing part of an instruction to be compiled into other binary.

I have seen a few proposals for creating languages which are exclusively stored as a generic AST, sufficiently abstract that it can be edited in any variety of "languages" in a capable editor, then stored back into the AST. I havent seen a good proposal for making that actually workable, however. It sounds a bit like storing code as the output from LLVM then expecting an editor to be able to open it as C# or JavaScript or Lisp.
This is a great case study in how news media manufactures hysteria over commonplace occurrences. A reporter "keeps hearing of train burglaries on the scanner" and goes to take pictures, then tweets them. What did the location look like before? We don't know. Are the reports on the scanner more common? Also not discussed.

The tweets prompt reporters to start calling the usual suspects: The company experiencing losses gives one misleading comparison to locked-down 2020 and an absolute figure for losses rather than a relative comparison over time. That makes sense, because they want government and cops to step in so they don't have to cover it. Next up the reporters call LAPD, who have a political motive to imply that the problem is worse than ever, to justify increased jurisdiction and funding.

And that's… pretty much where it ends. Nobody bothers to look back to 2019 or before; nobody bothers to see whether a higher percentage of rail cars are looted, or whether there are now more rail cars and online shopping in total; nobody bothers to analyze whether the increased wait times or any other factor are in play. I would love to actually understand this issue, but the article is designed to shock me with photos of debris and make me feel as if anarchy has descended upon the streets of Los Angeles, a fear-based reaction that apparently many HN commenters are susceptible to. It's dismaying and ultimately unsatisfying to read when the only goal is to drive clicks and engagement.

> you have a commercial relationship with Amazon that you initiated and agreed to (i.e. solicited), and as such, they are allowed to market to you

That's not what that word means. I didn't solicit marketing emails; the only emails I asked for were the bare minimum to open an account and anything needed for orders that I initiated.
I think part of the motivation here is tying it in with the PSP and having the root of trust be the processor and not processor for some stuff and motherboard for others. For PSP related stuff it does make sense to centralize on AMD rather than having every vendor have their own implementation of some platform security standard. It's dumb to let motherboards effectively brick a CPU but there reasonably could be a way to have the root of trust on the CPU and extend that to firmware signatures so you could remotely attest BIOS versions, etc.

I've mentioned this elsewhere but they could have just added some way of writing this signature out of band or allow bypassing it via a solder bridge on the top of the package like how SPD works on memory but require a separate interface for writing to it. Requiring a $10 I2C to USB adapter to change the key is not that onerous and it would be simple enough for OEMs to flash whatever they wanted on it and it could still be cleared for resale. For protecting against an APT doing shipment interdiction attacks quite frankly that sounds like a bunch of B.S. as all locking the key on the processor does is require the processor to be swapped out during an attack as well. If someone is going through the effort to intercept hardware in transit to flash custom malicious firmware on it, the cost of swapping the processor as well is not that extreme.

If they're going to keep the strategy of blowing fuses on the CPU die then AMD should be the ones doing it and they should make a vendor specific SKU so that trying to figure out if a CPU is vendor locked or not isn't such a minefield.

Check the death statistics instead of headlines and you'll see it truly is a novel situation - no previous year saw as many Americans die as 2020 and 2021. And excess deaths correspond closely to regions that saw high reported COVID-19 deaths, indicating "COVID-19 deaths" are people who would not have died had they not been infected with and killed by COVID-19.

2022 death rates are still high, nearing 2000 people killed by COVID-19 daily. We can hope that due to the death toll hitting mostly the unvaccinated, plus omicron being a somewhat milder than Delta, we won't possibly be able to hit the same high death rates all year long.
> You are unfortunately projecting an argument onto me.

As are you, I never used the term "long term" until you did. My initial comment was "Can you give a coherent biological mechanism by which the vaccine would have health impacts that aren't detectable over the course of say 3 months?"

So now that I've attempted to clarify, let's ask the related question:

if we agree that any side effect (short-, or long-term) would be initially detectable in a month or two, and given that the vaccine already meets the bar for safety, what is the point of a long term study? You're not going to detect any new side effects, and the only thing you may find is that existing side effects might be less serious.

What reason should I (or you) have to care about "long-term" studies?
Not sure how big your site is, since it is down right now, but consider setting up a small RAM drive.

That's sufficient clarification.

(My guess is that these discussions are read mostly by people without any actual experience of Smalltalk, who may take "… not the least interoperable…" generally and literally.)
The easiest example I can think of was at the local Python User's Group.

A local company develops a platform meant to test job applicants for baseline programming skills. It's based around game play. For example, one was to have bots fighting each other in a 2D grid or some such.

They wanted us to test out their new game, which was a sort of auction/bidding system. All bots start with the same money, and ... it's been so long I don't remember all the details.

Anyway, the solution I came was, at the very least, based on ideas from minimax: set up a game tree, figure out the payoff matrix, minimize losses. The game tree was so small I could memoize the entire solution space.

This turned out to be the winning strategy. Except that since their game tree was so small I also proved it was impossible to tell if the winner used the optimal strategy. Basically, if all other bots bet all or nothing and came first then the last bot would never get a chance to outbid the others. OTOH, if they added more items to bit on then the other bots would go bankrupt, leaving the last bot (with a decent strategy) to win the remaining items.

I pointed this all out to them, they thanked me, and I haven't heard any followup. :) I'm pretty sure they didn't know any game theory when they set up the problem.

And to be clear, I think the idea was to figure out if someone could program -- I hope not to select the person whose bot was the best.

Mozilla designed a decentralized authentication protocol back in 2011 called BrowserID, which was later standardized by the IETF. IIUC, it was similar to OpenID but sites would authenticate your identity with your email service provider. Unfortunately, the protocol never gained traction.

Given C++'s grotesque track record of insane new syntax, this wouldn't seem to be an advantage.
Bingo. This is just pure liberalism.
Some say they don't like it because it it's implicit control flow, i.e. I don't like that my code is being put into the end of the function without it being in the end of the function. I mean OK, but that's what for loops so right? The i++ is put at the end of the "while" loop, together with the exit condition.
I think the more important problems are: 1) why be function scoped and not block scoped? 2)why should it be so tied up with lambdas?

1) I don't se why they chose function over scoped so please enlighten me
2) the proposal said there were debates whether defer free(ptr) refers to the ptr where the defer first appears, or to the current ptr that appears when the defer block is being executed. As someone mentioned, gotos already work in the latter way. Same goes with i++ in a for loop, I could do whatever I wanted with the i inside the for, and the i++ or the exit condition would use the latest value of i, not the value at the start of the block.

This is just the lower limit on the concentration of wealth in Bitcoin, found from onchain data. Since people can have multiple addresses it is possible that the 2% actually control 97% or even more of btc supply

Well, for the past few decade or so, the country has been gradually destroying the underlying mechanisms that made it different from the 3rd-world countries, so you can hardly be surprised by those actions starting to bear fruit.
Vast majority was in lower Manhattan. Which represents about 5% or less of NYC landmass. So you can multiply 1.4% by 10-20 to get a more accurate number
Bitplane graphics was probably a bad decision. It's good for games, but terrible for any program where you want to change one pixel at a time - If you have a linear frame buffer, lighting up a pixel means a read from memory, some OR'ing and a write. When you have 5 bit-planes, you need as many reads as bits change in the color value, up to 5, and then 5 writes. Good for games, but bad for mostly everything else.

Also, the keyboard, it came out a good couple years after the DEC LK201, which is very similar to both the Amiga and the STs. The IBM enhanced came out at about the same time, but, IIRC, the 122 key layout dates back to the Model F family.

I wonder how hard it is for people who were not old enough back then to properly place these machines in their historical context.
The semantics of block-scope defer are much simpler, easier to understand, and faster. The compiler always statically knows which defers execute at any given point, which aids optimization. With function-scope defer, the semantics are extremely dynamic, requiring bookkeeping of a runtime stack of defer thunks, and compilers have a hard time optimizing it.

Function-scope defer is something that surprises everyone I explain it to. Programmers naturally expect defer to be block-scoped.
You're thinking in terms of just US vs Canada. You're also forgetting that Canada is part of the Commonwealth. You can bet your bottom dollar that Commonwealth nations (at least a couple of whom are nuclear enabled, and some of whom have their own defence industries including ship and fighter jet production) would become involved. The US would find themselves on the short end of the NATO stick, including free trade agreements being jeopardised. Then there's the opportunism by Russia and China. Any distraction such as an invasion of Canada, and one that drags in allies, would provide an opportunity for them to apply global trade and banking restrictions, leverage geopolitical issues, disrupt supply chains, etc.

It would not be nearly as straight forward as "America military is big and grunts loud, Canada has beavers and mittens."

I don't know where you live, but in UK it's even easier than what you described.

When you buy a car it's just registered online, takes 5 minutes to do. No actual in-person anything involved. You get a PDF confirming your registration, the dealership prints the plate for you right there and then, nearly every garage has a machine for priniting them. You stick it on your car, drive off, done. The registration document arrives in post 1-2 weeks later, but you don't really need it for much as it's not proof of ownership anyway, it's just for your records.

Literally nothing about buying a car involves actual people reviewing anything. It's all automated, it's all online.

So I'd still like you to explain how exactly are you going to get rid of 99% of DVLA's staff and what algorithm exactly allows for that when using NFTs/blockchain.

>>First of all I need a contract with a dealership, so there is a lawyer involved

Why? I bought several new cars in the past, you read the documents, sign them, the car is yours. Why involve a lawyer? What for?

This seems perfectly fine. A list of disposable email domains should contain disposable email domains like Firefox Relay, iOS "Sign in with Apple", Fastmail's random e-mail generator and others. Weird that Apple's domains aren't on the list, though. Hell, Gmail and Outlook should be on the list as well, because creating email addresses there is so quick and easy they might as well be considered throwaway services.

I'm not sure what the point of that list would be other than to drive users away from your service, but hey, if you want to be a dick, you're perfectly allowed to do so.

Edit: as written here: https://github.com/disposable-email-domains/disposable-email... the list is not intended for websites where one needs to sign up for an account first, like free mail services. I suppose that means neither Firefox Relay, nor any other such service should be on the list.

You're not very knowledgeable about the geography of New York either, are you?

Like your 450 number is from all 5 boroughs, did you not realize that New York City refers to all 5 boroughs and not just like Midtown or something?

-

I don't know why you're trying so hard to mislead people. Do you just live in Soho and want to act like Soho is lower Manhattan? Or more specifically, like the 4 blocks of Broadway in Soho that got hit hardest?

I already commented this but those protests did not do widespread damage to Manhattan, there were very centralized pockets of damage.

In fact, Manhattan probably had the most damage by dollars because of Soho luxury stores, but by actual damage to individual businesses the outer boroughs were infinitely worse off, and even that was highly centralized...
Wasn't his very affluent private high school one of the first schools in the nation to have a computer at the time? Again, this kind points back to something another post said about how one's success (in terms of monetary achievement) is strongly correlated to one's parental success. I mean, his mother held a high position in IBM at the time, and his father was a very successful lawyer while living in Seattle, Washington (a then, current affluent area of the US).

I'm not saying he wasn't some genius, or wasn't driven, or wasn't better than most in some way.

I just notice the part about Gates growing up in the ghettos of Baltimore or growing up in a trailer park in the deep, rural South, working multiple jobs while in high school just to survive, etc. is missing for him success story. Same goes for Musk, Jobs, etc.. Wealth doesn't guarantee success, but...

Wealth => greater % of better opportunities => greater % chance of being successful.

Luck plays a large role -- lucky to be intelligent, lucky to be rich, lucky to be in good health, lucky to be born in the right place, etc.. People hate to admit it because it takes away from their egocentric identities, but if Gates grew up in a poor rice farming village in Vietnam at the same time he grew up, we wouldn't be talking about him right now.

A PhD in deep learning could get you a job with comparable salary (or way more if you moved outside of Germany).

That said, there is always the risk that the space gets crowded, or research gets too expensive, or innovation slows down. I think this is particularly risky in vision-related AI.

I'm more than familiar with the boroughs of New York City.

The 450 "vandalized and in some cases looted" statistic you provided was for New York City as a whole. If you would like to confine your focus to Lower Manhattan, the onus is on you to find the relevant statistic for Lower Manhattan, because that 450 includes vandalism from all over the city (to repeat your own quote with appropriate emphasis, "An estimated 450 businesses across New York City were vandalized and in some cases looted in late May and early June, according to the city's Department of Small Business Services.")

To really get a true picture of things, we'd also need to know what the background level of vandalism for business in a more-than-a-month time window is - because I assure you, it is not zero.

> I could also say 450 is only .000001% of stores in the USA, so there's no problem! Same logic you're using, by the way

No, the logic I'm using is that if .000001% of stores in the USA were "vandalized and in some cases looted", then the statement "Huge percentage of stores were vandalized and had their goods stolen" made about the USA would be laughably hyperbolic and incorrect simply on the cold facts.
I guess the answer must be: Companies have no incentive to make it easy to apply to their job without manual intervention. Which makes sense -- if it were easy enough to apply to companies automatically, I guess some people would just write a script to apply to every company in their field, right?
