I'll give him credit for that. I didn't really like getting out of the nuclear deal with Iran however
True, but it’s a cheap ploy to discredit the movement.

I assume CBC does it more for the outrage clicks than actually believing it’s a possibility.

But it seems par for the course as a political tactic lately: 1) deny a movement represents a significant part of the population, if that fails 2) associate the movement with undesirable elements like Neo-Nazi’s, militias, if that doesn’t work, 3) infer foreign interference.

Note you can do this without a single shred of evidence, pretend like it’s an innocent question, and still discredit the movement. How do you prove a negative?

I mean, if I asked “Maybe Trudeau is secretly an agent for the Chinese?” people would just say it’s a stupid question because without proof it’s just absurd.

It’s the same claiming this protest is being driven by Russia.

Potassium deficiency is very rare, and causes arrythmias and other electrical problems just like ingesting too much of it.

I think you mean magnesium, whose deficiency is widespread and it is though to be caused by depletion of it in the soil due to intensive agricultural practices.

$5-$15B isn't big in your opinion?! What sort of construction project is bigger? Miles of high precision welding, massive concrete pours that don't really happen in the same way anywhere else...

Have you followed any nuclear construction? Which projects? What project do you consider to be bigger?

Nuclear is insanely complex and large and difficult, I can't imagine what your basis for comparison could be here.
Apologies, thanks for the correction.

I didn’t make a distinction between those. But there is a big difference between starting and interceding in any of those. American didn’t “start” ww2 for example, but did “start” the war in Iraq.
The problem with Javascript IMHO is that it's difficult to say "enough". As someone who uses it everyday and loves it, I believe it's in a decent place now, but it keeps adding more and more strange operators that virtually no one uses or has use for in everyday applications. Things like Symbols, BigInt, etc. are way too rare in JS and only useful under certain "ideas of workflows" to be worth being part of the core since they introduce a whole incompatible layer of dealing with things and don't mix well with the rest of the language. I'll even throw "classes" and "generators" to the list of things that were a mistake, as time has shown.

This is the same with the pipe operator, we already have arrow functions, thenables, and TWO different types of .pipe(), which makes syntax a lot cleaner when needed. IMHO adding this pipe operator "|>" would be a mistake, it only complicates the language making:

- Browser competition harder, when the language is really broad and difficult it makes it harder to create a new engine.

- Mastering Javascript harder, there's a lot broader amount of concepts there which are not really useful except.

- No real benefit as I explained. For some people's worldview it's better, but for us the rest of mortals[1] it's just overhead.

A really good indicator of whether something is useful in core JS is: has someone made it into a library or sublanguage[2] that is widely used? Or a language feature? Promises and events def passes that test, while Symbols, classes, generators and this new pipe operator definitely don't. Bigint is arguable, since it passes the test but remains fairly fringe use-case in JS.

[1] Note that I'm the first one to experiment with JS and try weird things! I'm just saying that these should remain broken experiments on my computer, or nice libraries in npm, but not part of the specification that no one uses.

[2] Coffescript, JSX, Typescript, etc.
Unfortunately, I experience way more of these types of issues exactly because I use Uber Eats.

Unacceptable provincial legislations are federal matters. That has always been the case and is why the supreme court is federal.

So it makes sense to protest in ottawa when overreach is suspected (esp since this seems like a human rights matter and is federal jurisdiction).

Provinces in Canada have way less power than states in the US
First Rule of Usability? Don't Listen to Users (2001)
Best of all worlds: A website that doesn't require account sign-up, shows current wait time and special menu items, allows payment in-person or online, and doesn't even require an email address if you don't want to provide. The regional pizza place, Round Table does exactly this, and I really like the chain and their pizza.

Control doesn't guarantee security, it just assesses accountability. Also, control doesn't mean Apple writes all the software. They outside code like everyone else.
Has there been any official statement? Or is it so super secret they can’t even mention it? Seems like an odd thing to bring up with no proof.

And even if they did say that, it’s like the talking heads on CNN - the former intelligence folks from the CIA.

“There is evidence of Russian collusion in our election. Proof? Well, it’s a matter of national security so I cant share any details. But trust me! I’ve seen the proof and it’s damming!”

That’s exactly what got us into the 2nd Gulf War. “Trust the government, they wouldn’t lie.”

No thanks.
I had to lookup Intel ME. It's the Intel Management Engine.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Management_Engine

From the Wikipedia article:

The Intel Management Engine (ME), also known as the Intel Manageability Engine, is an autonomous subsystem that has been incorporated in virtually all of Intel's processor chipsets since 2008. It is located in the Platform Controller Hub of modern Intel motherboards.

The Intel Management Engine always runs as long as the motherboard is receiving power, even when the computer is turned off. This issue can be mitigated with deployment of a hardware device, which is able to disconnect mains power.

The Intel ME is an attractive target for hackers, since it has top level access to all devices and completely bypasses the operating system. The Electronic Frontier Foundation has voiced concern about Intel ME and some security researchers have voiced concern that it is a backdoor.
That seems like the most likely explanation.

Running wired is an important feature, if you need to connect them to a mac mini.

I love seeing James the VI and I because so many Englishmen fixate on James I and forget he was sixth of that ilk in Scotland. My school in Edinburgh was founded by his wife's jeweller Jinglin' Geordie, he held the royal (gambling and other) debts.

Less fortunately for Scotland perhaps, the Scots crown diminished from this point on. Money moved south with the king, the Darien Scheme destroyed the scots economy and "the parcel of rogues" agreed to sell the debt to England in the Union. Long after James VI & I of course.

Charles I fixation with divine right of kings must stem from this work. So the English revolution and Cromwell also lies in the bones of his book. Maybe he should have stuck to poetry. Lovely to have his manuscript writing.
Nothing is perfectly secure, it's just a question of how many resources are required. Clearly, if the FBI wanted to do it, they could spend enough resources to break into any consumer phone.
>You have an "account" regardless.

I think this might differ if you're in the U.S or out, here in Europe often it is like this:

In the app/website you have an "account" that you get by entering data into form fields which takes a while, and which then gets stored into a database and is saved forever unless you go through some extra steps to make sure it doesn't which will be complicated by how well the app / website has been programmed to handle these potential extra steps (if at all)

On the phone you have an address that the guy writes down on the piece of paper for the delivery guy and is thrown out afterwards.
I think the base pipe operator by itself is nothing but a win; I think it's pretty clear and unambiguous even if you aren't familiar with it, and it makes certain cases much more elegant. I don't really see any downsides to it, except maybe that it has limited usefulness on its own.

My feelings about the "Hack pipe operator" are much more complicated. I can see how it dramatically expands the usecases for piping as a whole, given JavaScript's other norms and constraints (no automatic currying, lots of method calls). But I also think it tangles up control-flow in weird ways that could get really hairy fast. And at some point, when you're no longer "just piping" into a unary function, are you really gaining much benefit over the normal function call syntax?
The issue with talking nutrition with people is that they think one size fits all and that the body and its digestion is a simple machine we have fully understood.

Like you are preaching that meat gives too much iron and is bad, while in my experience decades of eating gluten have caused nutritional imbalances, one of which is called iron-deficiency anemia, and causes brain fog, tiredness, pallor and shortness of breathing. More meat and iron supplements (rarely) gives me an amount of energy I haven't felt in a decade. I've found this out for myself because even medical doctors keep repeating advice ("you should eat less red meat and more whole foods" is the MD's mantra) which doesn't respect one's own physiology and weren't able to track this down.

Yes, people can thrive on a diet of Mars bars, but it's not that simple and doesn't work for everybody. And I'd be more worried about heavy metals on a pescatarian diet than any other diet, vegan or otherwise.

Please go back and read my comment, and the linked pages, more carefully. Obviously a positive energy balance will result in weight gain. The issue is that excess fructose will specifically cause fat gain as opposed to gains in other types of tissue. Other nutrients don't activate the same metabolic pathway. This is a crucial distinction and not pedantry.
> meeting a therapist (a good one) and taking professional help is the easiest and most preferable route when you hit a rut.

"Professional help" is not always positive. If you have internal issues to fix, external help may or may not be the right thing for you. There's absolutely no standard approach for this kind of things.

> a therapist (a good one)

So what they end up with a bad one, was that good advice?
Contrail Shadows
I am one of those who love Japanese pop culture, but you are 100% correct.

It very nearly soured me on Japan serval times as you mention it has you.

Many, not just questionable, but outright disturbing practices make it a very bipolar place to live.

The most vivid thing I personally experienced was going clubbing in Osaka then after closing running into a pair of girls I was dancing with at some point and I asked why they weren’t interested and the reply was that I wasn’t (physically) aggressive enough and asked too many questions. They literally didn’t want me to let them say no, so they wouldn’t have to take “responsibility” of going with me.

That night _really_ turned me off of submissiveness as being an attractive personality trait

Should've tried the oil, it's much better. I'm currently investigating it as a microdosing nootropic, and results have been quite positive. I probably wouldn't recommend it for long term consistent usage though, because I would be fearful of long term toxicity build-up. More like an occasional creativity boost.
The problem is time rather than money - there are a finite number of engineering hours in a year, the only way to increase that is to add more engineers, but adding more engineers very rapidly starts costing time rather than helping.
NSO is radical - disrupting security and human rights worldwide - and, in a broad sense, violent.

Healthier than what? "Healthy" doesn't exist in a vacuum.

Fat is healthy in a vacuum, fat with a carb heavy diet causes metabolic syndrome.

Fruit is healthy in a vacuum, but anything containing fructose, fibre or not, isn't great when you have metabolic syndrome, insulin issues or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Plenty of nutritional studies are completely worthless for this reason. There is no double-blind, randomised and controlled dietary studies.

I don't know about bird-watching, but ballroom dancing is really big in computer science. It was really big in my CS department on the east coast 20 years ago, and it's really big at Stanford now.

As far as I understand it, software engineers in the Bay Area have two common hobbies: indoor rock-climbing at Planet Granite and ballroom dancing. I would never have guessed how common they are, but it is what it is. D&D is a distant third.
I think it's important to separate two major categories of recent JS additions:

1) Advanced features that cannot be replicated without runtime support

2) Syntax sugar

Symbols, BigInt, and generators are the former. Pipes and classes are the latter. (1) gives library authors access to low-level primitives that can allow them to do things that were literally impossible before (I've gotten a lot of use out of Symbols, personally), but they aren't often used directly in application code. (2) are usually more application-facing, and may or may not be a big enough quality of life improvement to justify their existence.

I guess what I'm saying is: just because you haven't seen lots of Symbols or generators in the wild doesn't mean they aren't having an impact, or weren't worth adding.
You're right and wrong. It can be culty or not. It's buyer beware and requires due diligence.

I suggested this and my relationship with the church is openly agnostic. I have no qualms about discussing my opinions of religion as it relates to my belief. I don't feel the need to bend to their world view, change my beliefs, etc.

Regarding the people that get sucked into those types of churches. The ones you say they're actively recruiting (I would not disagree). But, this may be controversial, but I believe those folks typically have some void in their life to begin with. They're going to fill that void with something eventually and probably at an unhealthy dosage. It might be drugs, religion, politics, sex, abusive relationship, etc. They may not realize it, but they have a desire to be in a "cult". So, I don't fully believe the cult is to blame. There simply is a market for cults and demand will get met.

I think especially for our HN audience here, it's more about not falling into that trap. Doing your due diligence. Stay true to yourself and avoid any of this BS cult stuff you bring up as a valid concern. Honestly it sounds like you just live in a very racist part of the country where the KKK's never disappeared they just moved the meetings to church. That or you're very much indoctrinated in the bad parts of religion while ignoring the healthy parts.

I have a love and hate relationship with this stack. On one hand it makes sense to do everything in SQL and generate the data access patterns from it. On the other hand pushing business logic into the database has it's disadvantages

- Scaling Databases is hard, - It's easier to scale a stateless application server rather than a stateful database.

- SQL is still hard to maintain - Adding features using Postgres Functions means you have an additional language to maintain. The code might be spread across different migration files. Maintaining these functions long term has it's own issues.
You're right, I was thinking US-centric. Here in the US any pizza place you give your name and number to has an account for you, from my experience.

Interesting, Black docs specifically calls out an option for users with that exact use case for mixing single and double-quoted strings (although they do recommend dispensing of it eventually): https://black.readthedocs.io/en/stable/the_black_code_style/...

> If you are adopting Black in a large project with pre-existing string conventions (like the popular “single quotes for data, double quotes for human-readable strings”), you can pass --skip-string-normalization on the command line. This is meant as an adoption helper, avoid using this for new projects.
While I think that's an essential approach - and highly useful because it can be used by non-technical people ...

Unbreakable isn't remotely possible.
You don’t view asking an unsupported leading question as a weak handed attempt at misinformation or seeming state-media corruption? Reporters are representatives of their employer. And a reporter at a state owned media floating a conspiracy theory about citizens who are legally protesting seems a lot like propaganda. We would definitely call it that if it was done in a country outside the Western hegemony. I haven’t seen the CBC or government officials discredit this yet, so I assume they are happy to stand by and let it circulate.
> I don't understand why they can't compare android vs iOS.

Matthew Green et al already did: https://securephones.io

> If you're a journalist or dissident then you or your benefactors should be able to purchase a mobile endpoint security monitoring service that will actively monitor for exploitation and prevent known threats based on good intel.

I am actively building one such open source app (for Android). We are half-way there. One my friends was editor-in-chief at a big media company and his frustrations made it clear to me that they were sitting ducks. Though, securing folks in high risk profession is not easy, at all. But one ought to start somewhere. And it is clear, the eventual solution needs to be external to the phones themselves.
> Apple could hire nine NSO equivalent teams to do what NSO does.

No they can’t. If Apple could, they would deploy their war chest billions to do so. People often make the mistake of thinking some objective is money-constrained, and a place like Microsoft could’ve just thrown the most money at mobile in 2008 to be the best mobile OS.

The Israeli’s in these national security level positions work like their life depends on it because they literally believe it does. Good luck replicating that with a gazillion teams of cushy big tech Silicon Valley positions.
>When Google decided they wanted to control all the computing on their servers, from bare metal up, they ran into the ME.

Why not go AMD or do they do something equivalent to the intel ME?
Another thing I realized, but after I could edit my comment :D

NSO makes money reselling the same set of productized exploits. Their business model depends on no one else (apple or other researchers) finding it. Selling an exploit gets you a single payday, selling a service lets them both charge market rate for exploits, but keep doing so.

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if they had a monthly subscription fee.
Something I haven't seen mentioned in the article or any of the comments so far:

Estimates for when the food will be ready tend to be way more accurate over the phone (as the person taking the order actually knows how busy the restaurant is). In my experience, most online ordering estimates are padded by 20-30 minutes (so the website will say it'll be ready in 40 minutes, but it's actually ready in 10), presumably because the restaurant doesn't have the time/ability to be updating ETAs throughout the night, and it's better to overestimate than underestimate.

You also have the option of easily cancelling your order if it's going to be too long - I've even had a restaurant warn me it was going to be a long time:

> > Name of Restaurant, how may I help you?
> I'd like to order for pickup.
> > We're very busy right now, it would be at least an hour.
> Oh, nevermind, thank you.

Interesting capitalization choice. Intentional?
It worked quite well for me for a number of years. And I had a social life. I would go to sleep around midnight sleep until 3 or 4am get up for an hour or two, maybe bathe then sleep from around 5-6 until 9.

EDIT: I've found other examples of Letter 6416 online on non-IRS websites that do have a phone number at the upper right. I'm not sure if the phone number's absence from the sample PDF on the IRS website means it has been removed, or if non-sample copies would have a phone number.

The irony of the pinball TILT sensor, at least in my personal experience, is that if you don't understand what the "TILT!" indicator on the backboard means - which childhood me and my aunt, trying to play a game of pinball in probably a Pizza Hut in the late 80s and stymied by a mysterious "TILT" light, clearly did not - is that one might misinterpret it as an instruction to attempt tilting the machine, thereby facilitating exactly the sort of damaging behavior which the malfunctioning sensor was intended to guard against.
