Someone violated the terms of the lending platform and had their loan recalled.

This is no different to lying to your bank that you got that new $10,000 deposit from selling ice cream (taxable income) instead of selling your car (stamp duty and capital gains) then having the loan made with that capital recalled.

The only difference is this involved crypto from a tumbler (to obfuscate the origin of the Bitcoin in this case).
Well, by standard convention longitude is labeled θ and latitude is labeled φ. People think more about θ because it also appears in two-dimensional polar coordinates.

But in math you care far more about labeling the angles correctly than about which order you list them in.

>The thing is, we have actual data on a lot of these policies. And we know what works and doesn't work.

Can you cite the 'actual data' -- has it held up to broad peer review? Can you provide examples of critique of these policies, and explain why detractors have concerns, and how we could address them?

This isn't global warming (science is clear) -- social policy is inherently messy, with lots of tradeoffs, and is hard to prove empirically. There are lots of reasons why expanding the welfare state might be beneficial for society, but please stop with the moral grandstanding -- it does nothing to further real dialogue.
> Google Doodle is obsessed with depicting woman in lab coats

The lab coat fixation isn't specific to the Google Doodle team, nor to women (and possibly not to the West, but I lack data).

Did you know that (in the US and UK at least) members of various medical and medicine-adjacent professions are rated more highly (in terms of their perceived competence, professionalism, trustworthiness, etc.) by their customers/clients/patients if they wear a white lab coat? This applies to doctors, dentists, pharmacists, and veterinarians. In general, this effect is bolstered by wearing 'office' attire under the coat, except for surgeons who benefit more from wearing scrubs under the coat.

In the UK, there has been a move to shorter sleeves since full length sleeves have been implicated in spreading pathogens, but the public still prefers the full length sleeves and continues to rate doctors that wear them more highly even when they've been made aware of the the data on pathogens.

You can find all sorts of research on this with searches for 'lab coat survey' or 'white coat effect'.

Excepting the approval of end to end encryption and residential zoning, pretty much every problem thread on HN is littered with comments about how we need more regulation and laws to solve X or Y or Z.

Wanting the "good guys" to have more power is pretty much the default response on here nowadays. I remember earlier- including before I had signed up for an account- when HN was much more libertarian, compared to the relative minority it seems to be now.

if you were investigated, it would have to be by a local law enforcement official. There was no cross-referencing of biometrics, fingerprints, or driver's licenses across state lines.

There were no license plates to track. When they were eventuallu implemented, it would be decades before data stores were implemented that allowed real-time tracking via ALPR.

It was, in fact, not a given or even remotely a given that it was considered technically possible to localize or pin down an individual without one or more individuals being engaged in the act of tailing.

There is no question that at the timeof the signing of the Constitution, the world had a much higher degree of privacy by default.

It's not about having to be like Android, we're talking about Apple abusing its high market share. With a 50% market share in the U.S., most app developers have no choice but to do whatever Apple demands or lose half their business, and antitrust laws start to come into play when this happens. Apple is abusing its market share to force people to use only the Apple store, which if you remember is very similar to what Microsoft did with Windows and their browser.

Figure out how to what?
Incorrect. Relativistic differences in simultaneity between observers have nothing to do with light travel time between them and everything to do with different velocities. The other side your living room, and even the other side of the galaxy, is moving close enough to the same speed that simultaneity is perfectly well defined between them. So we can confidently assign times in the past to events based on what we see in the present, in the knowledge that they will be consistent with times assigned by other observers in different locations at the same speed.

The only wrinkle in the scenario of a distant galaxy is cosmic expansion inducing a different reference frame by causing motion relative to Earth. However, if the redshift isn't more than a few percent then the time dilation won't be either, so we can be pretty sure it will be in the past by any definition that isn't moving a fair fraction of c relative to us.

Don't confuse light travel time with relative simultaneity. Relativity does weird things to time but that's not one of them.
I know someone who could benefit significantly from this. How would he go about acquiring one?

Yes. Microsoft MakeCode is a good example. You drag on-screen blocks (ala Scratch) to define behaviors. These are then converted to runnable code.

In the case of MakeCode (and the delightful MakeCode Arcade[0]), both the builder UI and the code conversion are open source, so that you can see how the conversion is done (to Typescript, in this case) or use the building tools in your own product, perhaps with a different output language.

The result is the same but the details matter.

This isn't the first polyabolo version of Tetris I've seen, though I think it is the first one with diagonal movement in addition to horizontal. I find it playable enough for my liking. Comments on the game:

* Configurable controls would be nice. Most (modern serious) Tetris players would be more used to Z/X for left/right rotate and Shift or C for hold. (Don't listen to the people who want only one rotate button; two are essential nowadays.)

* Ghost piece would be nice as well (I think someone mentioned it elsewhere). Even grid lines would help.

* Pause doesn't work, at least on desktop.

* Line counter is missing.

* The title mentions a version 0.7. Is there a corresponding changelog?

My whole form of copy protection on AIR apps through about 2013 was basically to have the login system side-load another SWF once the user logged in - but the SWF's bytecode would be tweaked and corrupted in a way that required a valid response to the login to de-corrupt on the client side before it could be executed. Probably just the fact that you would've had to decompile the side-loader was enough to prevent it from being stolen.
OMG yes.

yeah, lat/lon/alt is more common, but I like lon/lat for the same reason you do (you can plot lon=x, lat=y and get a crappy Mercator projection). I also often work with stereographic coordinates a lot which uses x-y, and that also colors my perception.

PDF editor? I have always regarded pdf as a terminal file format, the place data goes to die. Only half joking but pdf was always the final form from some other program, the internal editable data was never pdf. I have never seen a program works on the pdf directly, Probably because I have never had that much exposure to adobe software. the few times I have needed to do so I had to use a pdf programing library.

If you mean desktop publishing software that outputs a high quality pdf scribus works fairly well.

That 'way of thinking' originated in Philosophy (and much of what we call STEM today was originally termed Natural Philosophy), and Sociology does in fact fall into the 'Science' bucket.

As for the arts, I personally prefer the STEAM acronym in order to include it.
That's funny. Because I think he's a lot more liberal nowadays.

I remember the pre-Spot days where he was with Alex Jones, and talking about Trump and he really seemed a conservative or "new right" type of talking head at that time. Nowadays to me he seems waaaay more liberal, balanced and middle-of-the-road.

The effect could be that sort of thing that dang always talks about on HN where people have the impression that HN is really "anti-China", but in fact that's an artefact of their exposure to the articles that they engage with (being more likely to be those they disagree with)--or something like that, dang explains it way better. Reality is HN is really a thing with multiple facets...but people feel there is "astro-turfing" and stuff like that, when in fact it only seems that way. Better explanations: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...

I guess it would also make sense to me if that was the case because, if not for any other reason, it would be a reality of his platform having increased so much. His wider audience demands and benefits from a wider range of guests with a wider range of views. It also makes sense to me that his own view of his purpose has grown from, "somehow orbiting the Trump, new right sphere" to "someone who talks to people from all backgrounds" about the issues of the day.

No, the second dose greatly increases the efficacy against hospitalization and death in the short term. It wasn't "stupid" or "not due to science".

It optimized for maximum vaccine efficacy at around the 5 week timepoint.

Canada took a slightly longer dosing schedule to get more people their first doses faster due to having less available doses. But they didn't go with a 6 month interval either, and there's a difficult calculus there where it isn't at all obvious that one choice is "stupid".

With Delta slamming into India and a lot of doses available in the USA the short schedule got the bulk of the population as immunized as possible.

There's a whole lot of hindsight bias going in trying to claim that was just dumb or unscientific. It probably did save some lives in the summer of 2021 because we did have the doses in this country. Someone who got vaccinated in early April would have only been getting boosted then in early Oct 2021 and that would have been after 75% of the Delta wave had already passed. Second doses clearly needed to be going into arms sooner than 6 months and you can only figure out what timing might have been in optimal in retrospect when you know what the virus was going to do.

It is correct that it didn't allow time for the immune response to mature before the boost and that is the rationale for the third shot. And for anyone getting vaccinated now, particularly young people a 6 month schedule of 2 doses may make more sense (although you always have to look at that 6 month interval and do the calculation on what the risk is of getting COVID during that interval -- at this point though presumably a person who isn't vaccinated isn't very concerned about that and probably has already been exposed at some point).
