"The arrest of a woman in Australia for promoting an anti-lockdown protest online has drawn criticism, after video of the incident went viral.

Footage shows officers handcuffing pregnant woman Zoe-Lee Buhler, 28, in her home in Victoria on Wednesday in front of her partner and children."

>And, yes it’s a private company and if anyone doesn’t like it they can leave, but the mechanics of censorship are exactly the same.

"MS. PSAKI: Sure. Well, I would say first, it shouldn’t come as any surprise that we’re in regular touch with social media platforms — just like we’re in regular touch with all of you and your media outlets — about areas where we have concern, information that might be useful, information that may or may not be interesting to your viewers.

You all make decisions, just like the social media platforms make decisions, even though they’re a private-sector company and different, but just as an example.

So we are ma- — regularly making sure social media platforms are aware of the latest narratives dangerous to public health that we and many other Americans seeing — are seeing across all of social and traditional media. And we work to engage with them to better understand the enforcement of social media platform policies."

My experience attempting to contribute to Manjaro (fixes to packages including some without with which packages simply hung when being built interactively, as they depended on stdin being EOF as it is in their CI environment) was met with not just a cold shoulder but active offense and hostility. They don't accept pull requests (in fact, their gitlab configuration doesn't even let one fork), nor is there a mailing list for patches. There simply is no contribution workflow, and this isn't even clearly documented (it's fine to be a "cathedral", but you should be up-front about it).
Does this actually work?

The help site (https://support.google.com/voice/answer/1065667?visit_id=637...) states that:

I am confused if my Legacy G Suite account is considered a Google Workspace account of if it's something different.
Nice mental concept -- too bad it does not work for Julian.
It's great to see the 68k backends of GCC and LLVM getting love again.

In many respects the 68000 is the oldest most "retro" architecture for which you can still run a modern compiler suite. Processor introduced in 1979 for which you could compile a Rust binary today. That's pretty amazing.
I have one WiFi6 Eero acting as the main one, a further 4 around the house, a Raspberry Pi running AdGuard pointing at NextDNS for the DNS. It's rock solid.
i recall... he described an OBE in detail, though i believe it described the actual visual effect as minor, he says he could change his perspective to be off to his left side or above himself, i dont think he says he flies off to some other world. The experience was enjoyable to him though, as he sought out the iso tank more often afterwards.

edit: he also did a small dose of ketamine one time he tried it and said it enhanced the effects
I think you misunderstood. Not everyone was a nazi, but seeing your hundreds of years old town completely destroyed and your friends and family dead is something that nobody enjoys
Your gut feeling is nothing more than the parasympathetic nervous system responding to stimuli.

You can talk about it as some sort of magic choice maker all you want but it's not wisdom, it's automatic responses controlled by your unconscious mind.

What you're really talking about here is the subconscious making changes to your body, and those changes being sent out and reported back via the vagus nerve.

You can train that unconscious mind, but it's the same old lazy system one that operates 95% of your mortal existence: It's not literally your gut, that's just how you're experiencing it.

I thought about this a lot, but is there really value in it? It's a huge time commitment, working on this kind of stuff is a lot of work. So if the return is low I better just use that time to study.
That was exactly my question when I read this. How do they establish trust, when 2FA is revoked? How they prevent that the bad guy enables now 2FA and the god guy is locked out of his account?

May the god guy didn't get the message that Crypto.com had an issue, because s/he is unavailable.

Any asian store will have it (as vetsin, for example). If you're really hard-pressed, you can go to the netherlands and buy bulk amounts from an asian store there.
Long covid is just the existence of symptoms after the infection subsides. 2 months is plenty of time to monitor that.
Subtitles won't really help with sentence structure or conjugations, but it does help a lot with building vocabulary once you have the basics of sentence structure.

Did you read the original BMJ article? It was not detached and dispassionate reporting. That's the problem. It was alarmist and blew the issue way out of proportion because it lacked appropriate context.

The only mitigating information they gave was that the company only conducted trials on 1,000 out of 44,000 enrolled patients. But that was buried 10 paragraphs in.

There was no neutral party evaluation of the seriousness of the errors.

There was no neutral party evaluation of the implication of the errors on the soundness of the study.

There was no mention of the obvious effectiveness and safety of the vaccine.

In short, it did lack context and it should have been obvious to the BMJ that it would be inflammatory fodder for the anti-vax movement. It should have been nixed and rewritten to frame the errors in a more, as you say, detached and dispassionate way.
Psychology's probably not the best example, given that it's currently having a crisis around reproducability.
> It doesn't really matter about the UK's status. Nobody is saying "well I live in a hegemon, I won't bother learning another language".

That's a straw man.

> For the most part, people learn languages because they are useful.

Duh. But how useful learning a new language is to you is mediated by where you're living and it's local influence. As an American, I would have to go way out of my way in order to use a new language, let alone find it useful. This is largely due to the cultural and economic weight that America exerts on the region. Literally everyone I've done business with who isn't a native English speaker taught themselves English specifically to move to or do business with Americans. The UK is not in this position.

Also, again, size. I have to travel a very long way before I hit anywhere where English is not the overwhelming majority language. This also is a factor. If I want to learn French and use it, it's a $600 and 14hr flight for me to actually make it to Paris and use it, while a Eurostar ticket from London is $60 and 2hrs. This absolutely affects how useful a new language might be, even for pleasure, and is exactly why my attempts to learn French petered out.

> I'm happy enough with that because speaking another language well represents thousands of hours of effort that I was happy to spend elsewhere - it is a huge opportunity cost.

YMMV.
Slight correction on your first point.

There is no requirement that one looks for prior art. 37 CFR 1.56 requires that an applicant disclose pertinent prior art that is already known to the applicant or his lawyer and disclose prior art that the applicant becomes aware of during the application process.

Solid, love this. Bookmarked into my favorites. Thanks!
I'd say Dynamo is extremely good at reading high volume, with the appropriate access pattern. It's very efficient at retrieving huge amounts of well partitioned data using the data's keys, but scanning isn't so efficient.
Thanks! I just switched to Premium Lite. I don't use downloading very often, and I never use YouTube Music or background viewing, so I think this is perfect.
Per my other reply on this thread:

I would imagine such aggressive measures (i.e. forcing of anything) would occur first in a certain other countries before it happens in the West - if it ever does. I would also not be surprised if the West would implicitly choose to implode first before sacrificing an iota of "freedom and individuality".

Outside the West, I also would not be surprised if some countries/cultures would implicitly choose to implode before sacrificing their homogeneity.
I've noticed a big overlap between people who say "trust the science" and people who support censorship of social media. I wonder if this will reduce that, or if people will come up with some reason why this science shouldn't be trusted.

Maybe, but I think you can make a case for the opposite too. Without exchanges, there'd be no crypto. Exchanges are the only reason 99% of people who have crypto can figure out how.
They didn't recommend anything against the vaccine. It is just overzealous fact-checkers who (similarly to antivax) couldn't admit that they were confused about the article and mislabelled it as false.

Patents were never about "encouraging innovation". Originally they were a money-making scheme for the Crown and quickly evolved into a pay-to-play scheme whereby patents were granted on things like salt (See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_patent_law).

Eventually they evolved into what we now know as "intellectual property law" in the 18th century and that system was all about disclosure. It had nothing to do with "encouraging innovation". What's most interesting is that even back then patents were being abused and hindering innovation. See the info in that Wikipedia article about Boulton & Watt preventing improvements to the steam engine.

The simple truth is that patents are not required for innovation and they were never intended to protect individual inventors; they were designed to protect business interests. To allow established players to keep the up-and-comings out of their markets.

Once you've lived in Texas for a while, you start to understand the government mostly has a "let them eat cake" attitude towards the population. This applies at all levels, but particularly at the state level.

There really is no reason for the energy industry to bother winterizing. They don't really loose much by just idling capacity for a few days, especially if they don't have to worry about the cold weather preparations.

The government is not going to require any industry to do something it does not want to unless it is filled up with their buddies that can get rich in the process through government subsidized programs.

I'm sure this is going to be followed up with "but you could vote in politicians that cared!". There have been some definite attempts at voter disenfrachisement in recent history, although the most prominent one has failed. Texas is a representative democracy. It's representative of the districts, not the populace. The districts do not want politicians who are going to prioritize such things. The general population may in fact want it, but that isn't how our government is structured. So when you say "vote in other politicans", what you really mean is "replace the state government entirely". I doubt that is going to happen.
Same in Mexico. Whatsapp is everywhere.
It is a serious deterrent. I became a volunteer scouts leader for my son’s scouts group some years ago and the process was unnerving. Background check from police, tested on generally not being a predator for a significant portion of the written application, literally not allowed around kids until it’s fully reviewed and approved.

I get it. Bad stuff happens sometimes. The message is clear though that (especially as a male), I’m not trusted around kids until confirmed and on record to be safe.

That’s not conducive to natural relationships with kids - you’re constantly on guard and cognizant of the fact that you’re a perceived threat.

edit: That was a little negative. I should add that it's still worth doing. There's no way to change that perception other than by doing good and reassuring people. More importantly, kids having good experiences because people make the time for them matters more than resenting being perceived as a creep all the time. Yeah, it's a drag, but mostly I ignore it and hike with the kids, teach them knots, or whatever. It's fine.
Parsing out the gold rush from this whole industry is difficult, and the speculative nature of NFTs has understandably turned a lot of people away.

However, NFTs are more than digital art, and frankly have nothing to do with art. Art is just a very superficial and speculative application, and has become synonymous with NFT, fueled by craze and media attention. It's akin to someone saying an electronic device is another word for tamagotchi.

I know this tech gets a lot of hate on HN, and I resonate with a lot of it, but I'm also trying to see beyond this gold rush. What I find interesting and promising is the ability to give uniqueness to THINGS in the digital world (not art necessarily), and to do so in a decentralized manner so that anyone can build applications that integrate those things in a certified and safe way thanks to trustless authenticity and consensus.
It feels micromanage-y. I wouldn't want to work at a company that tried to restrict my HN usage this way.

This is generally true. And I assume the reliably liberal Texas Monthly spares no opportunity to gore conservative oxen, so I expect this article does so with bias and glee. But Texas politicians have spent a decade laughing at the power woes of California and other over-regulated hellscapes, so the 2021 winter storm and subsequent outage was a bit of a comeuppance.

It turns out that power grids don't really care much about your political philosophy. They still require competent engineering and maintenance and planning and accountability. And that requires smart people doing their jobs with adequate resources, which isn't guaranteed whether you've voted for the deepest blue or the brightest red government you can get.
Kinda pointless, since you sidestep the whole point.

I am not interested in PR style discussions with technicalities being used as a scapegoat points.

Its entirely unproductive and should be strictly reserved to cable news programs.

If i buy strawberry ice-cream in strawberry ice-cream packaging I dont give a fuck that there is a sign on the back of package saying this is frozen broccoli.
> I too decided at age 11, choosing to live with the less bad parent.

I chose this at 13, but due to his new spouse and her opinions about proper gendered behavior, it meant I had to move and lost all the adults who were supporting my programming. I was supposed to like clothes, make-up, and have feminine hobbies, so no more electronics gifts and no more access to the classes and meetings that the larger community had. (I moved from a metro area of 500k to a town of 2k).

I still worry if it would have been better for my career to stay and accept the greater abuse, which is fucked up. Am I deflecting responsibility and blaming others for my own failures? Etc.

> As society becomes harsher, more coarse, more dog-eat-dog, I worry that other lost kids won't have their own angels.

I'm hoping I can be one. I'm trying to be a good adult, and I want to work with foster teens eventually.
> snobs

I don't like fruit as part of a main course (i.e. not a dessert) or appetizer. That doesn't make me a snob, it just means I don't think fruit belongs there and don't appreciate when it is.
It's funny how many comments are about Matt Damon. That must be a pretty sticky ad campaign. It's also bizarre that I never heard of them before this marketing blitz although they seemingly have enough cash to hire Matt Damon and buy naming rights to an NFL stadium. I guess all their budget went to marketing instead of hardening their platform.
> The previews are clearly marked when they open in a lightbox.

Oh, I didn't realize that because I was on mobile.

Pretty sure that's what they meant. They said "tokens."
So is starting a crypto exchange how many large crypto holders plan to cash out?
Long Covid is problematic because it's hard to determine what symptoms exactly are caused by covid. A large chunk of long covid cases seem to be anxiety caused psychosomatic responses. I remember when the first batch of vaccines entered the market, there were many stories of people's "long covid" disappearing minutes after getting the vaccine injection.
It's not intended for them, sure, but they invariably end up getting their hands on it anyway.
The article is interesting, and while I do generally agree with loosening intellectual property restrictions, the tone makes this feel like it's preaching to the choir, instead of making a claim and trying to get more broad agreement. I suppose given the source there are some assumptions that can be made about the audience, but at the same time starting off the article with "every one of these claims is like a new federal regulation governing private conduct." kind of tips their hand on their perspective.
Can't help but think of Anders Breivik's current courtroom theatricals when I read about the narcissistic "revolutionaries" which inspired Dostoevsky's book.
But why can there only be one answer? Could it not be some women would like to be a house wife and some would like a career? If so, its not good that society makes one of these options very hard.
Which question were you attempting to answer there? I assume it’s how does capitalism create value. Unfortunately, you just described labor, something common to all economic systems including communism. This doesn’t address how capitalism creates value.
Not at all, I just went in like normal. I don't use CPAP at home because I've been too lazy to get it, but I know I have sleep apnea since I snore all night.

What the heck is heart coherence? All my red flags went off once I hit this. Oh look, they're selling guides for how to do it.
I get that. But the article that this article quotes, (the climate.gov one) makes the specific statement that there is no trend in the data.

It also discusses how the models break both ways: half the models predict stronger polar vortices, half less.

I'm firmly of the opinion that if the measurements and the models disagree, then the models are wrong. But that's probably me just being old-fashioned ;)

So if the anecdata and (half) the models say that these events are more common, but the actual measured data says there's no change, then surely we can agree that The Science says there's no change?
Yeah... about this whole crystal growing business.

A salt crystal growing guide from the same site was on the front page a couple (?) of months ago. Looked interesting and easy enough, so I gave it a try. So far it has been a complete fiasco second in scale only to my attempt at making pancakes at the ripe age of 5. Pretty much I just got salt back so far, lol.

So, caveat emptor.
Thank goodness it's decentralized and there are no single points of failure.
An extra 400 calories a day isn’t nothing.
I agree with you. They both serve a purpose and should be used when they make the most sense.
Seems really unlikely, but maybe someone guessed or discovered the keys? Would likely only happen if Crypto.com somehow was generating them insecurely or if someone had inside access to their systems or something. Maybe a leak?

Since it is across multiple currencies, I think it is unlikely it has to do with generation. Maybe could still be a leak or something.
Thank you for clarifying that.

Are there estimates on the performance improvement people can expect with the bounds checks elided and the capability bounds used instead?
Understandable yet totally absurd. Can you imagine if your bank had the same requirement?
It sounds like the author and many of the commenters here (who claim benefits) didn’t go into it blind. They began their mindfulness journey by practicing meditation, and then after a while got into a tank. Thus they were predisposed to having a useful experience, bec they’d done a lot of the mindfulness work already. The float tank just makes reaching a mindfulness state easier, if you already have some of “the tools”.

You sound like someone who hasn’t done any of the work to reach a mindful state and thus had a terrible experience more akin to solitary confinement.

I actually wholeheartedly disagree with the author’s conclusion that a SDtank is a shortcut. He’s using his own experience and the results of one or two studies in a field fraught with badly managed studies that can rarely be replicated. That is, I don’t believe the studies can be taken at face value.
we use DynamoDB like a big hash table of s3 file locations.. we look up these locations via a key (at the time, it sounded like a pretty good use-case for it). I suppose we could have used some other managed redis or memcached thing, but being an AWS shop, it was, and is, pretty useful. I have to say, it's been pretty effortless to configure.. read/write units are really the only thing we've had to configure (other than the base index) The rest of it has been easy. It has about a 100 million entries that are read or written pretty quickly.
Thank you! I will 100% start using this now.
Because if open source products are bad, they won't get used, but you don't have a choice but to use your company's internal stuff.
