You're confusing (as so many people do, alas) the jobs of "reporter" and "journalist".

The former is a job where you are required to attend a physical place to cover a story, required to talk to people, required to gather facts. Of course, you might do all of these badly, you might even lie about having done them, but that's the structure of the job.

The latter is a job whose name comes from the practice of writing "journals", and has little, if anything to do with reporting. Journalists do not "cover stories", they write about things that are happening, informed by the work of reporters, but also other folk: researchers, essayists (an even less-connected-to-the-story form or journalism), lobbyists, politicians, and yes, their neighbors. They've been around for at least 350 years in European-linked cultures, and probably a lot longer than that if you take a broader view.
A few years back I wrote a tool that would convert Ascii flow diagrams in source code comments to equivalent source code declarations that implemented the flow. The idea being that the comments didn't just describe the flow visually, but actually defined it.

Tools like this helped greatly with that. Plain old text files don't lend themselves well to such 2D visual descriptions.
The danger cannot be dismissed out of hand, but I don't believe nations that have nuclear weapons will be able to let go of them. Do you believe that Ukraine would be facing the threats today if it had not given up the nuclear weapons it inherited from the USSR? Treaties mean nothing without the ability to defend.
Honestly I was primarily thinking of coworkers commenting on work.

The “qualifiers” are way too high for anyone who isn’t from the boomer generation. I can afford it, but I cannot justify it.
Fair warning: This is a blog post advertisement for ScrapingBee. The data is still interesting.

The most interesting chart is one of the last: Proportion of Failures over time. As expected, more recent product links are less likely to 404 or 5xx.

Going back to 2014, almost 1/3 of the featured links give a 4xx or a 5xx response. That’s a lot!

More surprising, links as recent as 2020 show a 1/4 failure rate. Those projects basically launched on PH, then shut down shortly afterward.

Moreover, this analysis can’t actually account for products that have been shuttered but still have landing pages online. It’s ultra cheap to keep a placeholder “Sorry we’re closed” page online, so I imagine a lot of these projects are shutdown but counted as “success”.

Subjectively, this matches what I’ve gathered from watching PH. Getting a PH featured product listing seems to be a badge of honor, but PH users aren’t really interested in using 99% of the products and the submitters aren’t actually interested in building them past proof of concept. Recently, the bulk of postings seem to be advertisements for paid information products or pay-to-join communities.
Oxford is also a geographical location. So it could be interpreted as, Research lab in town of Oxford.

Our backend can open hundreds/thousands of DB connections per service process. Those queries take ~100ms to ~3s to run. Is that "long-running?" It seems average to me — complex OLAP queries are the comparative advantage of RDBMSes like Postgres, after all. (These queries are not CRUD operations, certainly.)

Doing your primary development in Chrome
or Firefox and testing in Safari would still be testing in Safari. Or is it apparently no longer possible to debug code that you don't have a debugger attached to? I'd contend that it's your job. And if it's slightly harder in Safari, that's a reason to ask for better tooling, but not a reason not to do your job.

For every genuine safety hazard there's dozens of people complaining about stuff that just isn't. Seems like safety is just the trojan horse that the "you shouldn't have modified anything it was perfect the way the factory built it" people use to get past the gate these days (not saying you're one of those people).

I skimmed the video. I didn't see anything particularly out of line. Their metal fabrication wasn't great but it's fine for what they're building and frankly where they're building it (don't get me wrong, that suspension is a kludge but they probably don't have enough car to break it).

I like to see stuff attached to fiberglass anchored better and over more area but I'm no expert on fiberglass so I don't have a good feel for what you can get away with and what they did was as good as what you see on boats.
Right, but there are two paths, so it will actually be in your match in one direction.

Anyway, it's not that hard to come up with similar examples where a missing link in the mesh is easier to see than it is to read, and that's my core point.

Consider the case of writing out a small connectivity diagram for a near-grid of things. Now everybody but the edge has 4-5 links. One missing in that is brutally hard to find, if it's irregular, but probably still pretty easy to see.

Anecdotally, I've found that in virtually every social media platform I have used, if I actually make use of the feed preferences like "unsubscribe," "show me less of this," "this doesn't interest me," etc, I agree that eventually I just get flooded with useless content as their algorithms desperately try to find some new fresh content to put in front of my eyes. As a result, the overall quality goes way down and I spend less and less time looking at it. The completely opposite reaction that they were hoping for.

Social Media Companies: It's OK to not have any new content to show me every few seconds. It's OK if I see the same things for a while until new, meaningful content comes my way. Shoving content I don't want down my throat just makes me want to leave altogether.

Full accelerated video decode does not equal low power video decode. I think I need to keep repeating this until I stamp out all accelerated video decode are created equal. ( Otherwise you would have market wide AV1 decoding by now ) You could spend 1W or up to 4W decoding 4K60 on non-Mobile optimise Video Decoder IP. It doesn't block your CPU, but it is not low power.

>Where did you get your 150mW figure from?

It is consistent with Apple's video decoding power requirement over the years. May be slightly lower given at one point it was 250mW. You could do your own measurement on your macOS with powermetrics utility.

> Results fully in line with predictions, strengthening the case for ITER

This is the main take away for me, JET is not a standalone project, it's part of the whole ITER project which is supposed to go like this:

+ JET as a scaled down model provides testing and data for
+ ITER which I believe is a full scale model and is supposed to generate net gain (heat in vs heat out,
not net electricity) and provide information to
+ DEMO which is supposed to produce net electricity (though not at market rate costs)

So the fact that it worked as predicted is a good sign (or at least as good as we can get) that ITER will work which will be a good sign for DEMO etc

Also not an expert though

Bad phrasing on my part. I was referring to the part about cities all being more or less the same. I 100% agree and share the takeaway sentiment. What I was referring to with my hyperbolic comment was more an attempt to head off people thinking "Well, but that's not true! Paris has the Eiffel Tower and London has Big Ben!". Yes, they're not exactly the same but still it does get a bit blah over time.
Why does everything have to be perfect? Humans get this wrong all the time as you say, and we still do it - right?

Sounds like a rounding error.
I generally have a very bad time when I travel, as I seem to be really unlucky. I've gone to Vegas and spent $72 on first aid and $9 on beer. Plus, I've broken down in cars that had no business breaking down twice. So, it certainly didn't reduce the stress. Add to that I often the person doing the logistics of travel and well I guess its not the cure.

I will say, there are places that calm my soul, like looking out on the North Dakota Badlands will make me happy for a long period afterwards. I don't know why or how, but it has done me a lot of good over the years. I do wonder if others have that travel place that just sets them right.

1. Having Data
2. Using it to Predict
3. Using it to Manipulate

There are major, major leaps from collection to then even having effective prediction models. Prediction is hard, especially when it comes to longer term behaviors.

Manipulation is extremely hard especially when the content space is so crowded.

My fear of TikTok is far more mundane. It just dulls us into the most passive form of entertainment the world has ever known making us a basically disengaged, lifeless people. Its the modal opposite in life to 'touching grass'.
>Yes, the media is crying wolf and also saying it won't happen, similar situation as around Ukraine/Russia, and similar to any other type of conflict in the world. Media organizations thrive on stirring the pot, and will always have scary headlines, especially when there is even a hint of anything approaching a conflict.

I'm right there with you in understanding the media's fake news and the somewhat recent move toward yellow journalism. That's not what is happening here. These are top officials, actual agreements, and very real reactions to overthrowing the government of hong kong.

It's challenging, but not everyone is fake news and throwing this out by labelling me as exaggeration is wrong.

>I'm currently in Europe but live in different places in the world during the year, what about you?

Canadian.

>I believe that things are uncertain right now, and claiming that you know or that everyone "expects" something to happen to be an exaggeration. Linking a bunch of online newspapers with names like "warblog", "militarytimes" or articles about how Australia now has a deal with the US about nuclear arms, doesn't exactly improve your case. Most newspapers just wants views like everyone else, and they'll write news that makes you click on the headline. It takes careful consideration and weighing different sides of a story to see what's going on.

I have provided many differing sources and you excluded all of them on the grounds they are fake news. This is fallacious and won't convince anyone of anything.

>I'm asking you to provide evidence for these two claims:

Why bother? You will instantly claim the evidence is fake news.

>You're saying fabs are being put on fire and/or being hacked by foreign entities, while still not providing any evidence for that happening in practice, essentially spreading conspiracy theories. The statement from akm says "there is no clear prospect for identification of the cause of the fire or for restoration of operation of the plant" and the Reuters article makes no claims regarding the cause of the fire.

Now I am a conspiracy theorist. Okay.

>It could be related, it could not. Without any sort of evidence-based approach, you have about 0% chance at arriving at the correct conclusion. And while you don't have a clue what's going on, it's better not to spread theories that are not based on facts but instead boils down to "So you think this is just a coincidence huh?!".

As a conspiracy theorist who provided many top quality sources that you instantly revoked as fake news. https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/the-sydney-morning-herald/

Can you elaborate? I think sharding yourself (breaking yourself into clones, not pooping on yourself) would be pretty interesting. A lot of problems could be worked on simultaneously. There are of course philosophical implications. I think it is fine as long as it isn't forced.
Not just a software update, but an over-the-air software update. Owners won’t need to take their vehicles to a service center, receive and install hardware updates, or do anything at all in fact. The problem will be fixed one night, likely without their knowledge. “Recall” doesn’t suggest anything like that.
My very limited exposure to the EU research funding world suggests that it is customary (at least in applied CS) to massively overstate the potential benefits and scope of your project, and it is understood/accepted that you will backtrack when reporting progress (or even already in the detailed description of what work will be done). Unfortunate, but it probably means that your comment is valid.
There is absolutely a strong 20s-30s and even 40s userbase on TikTok. “The Algorithm”, though, is very very good at only showing people what they want to see, so much so that two people can have wildly different experiences.

For example, my TikTok is full of LGBTQ+, PNW housing complaints, DnD and religion.

Edit: and a good percentage of them are around 30.
Tell HN: Quickbooks has sat on my money for weeks, disabled my paid account
Something weird is happening with Quickbooks.

I am resident in Ghana but having a New York registered LLC through which I provide software engineering consulting services to US clients. Since I opened a new account with Quickbooks Oline to receive payments for the LLC, they have asked for all kinds of verification, which I have provided.

It's been weeks now since a client paid a substantial invoice, and Quickbooks are still holding it up without depositing it. Worse, they have disabled all my intuit accounts (and yet continue to charge me for it). Even my free Mint account no longer works.

I have had numerous calls and chats with them to explain what I do and how I intend to use their services, all to no avail. After wasting a lot of time to contact a rep today, I was informed I need to provide a utility bill for my business address. Since I'm not in the US, I'm using a registered agent, whose address I cannot provide a utility bill for.

So at this point, I'm asking my client to request a refund from them. I will also be contacting Paypal and my bank to file a dispute for the subscription fees I have paid them, since they are unable to provide the service I have paid for.

Think twice before using Quickbooks.
Strange Parts?
It's pretty easy to derive longitude with some accuracy simply from active hours. Combine that with population densities and your guesses might get closer, combine that with how long you dwell on some videos or what videos you like and you get closer. Your Opsec isn't as good as you think, it's just nobody has been watching. If you combine statistical guesswork across hundreds of vectors its very easy to narrow your target to a creepy extent. Eliminating some easy leaks is the first step to good opsec but so is reducing your interaction and adding a little chaos.
This will get added!

There is currently a lot of special casing required, as the OCI spec laying out the Registry API and interactions are not very rich. This limits usability and performance.

Seems to me "the flu disappeared" is misinformation that confirms the "if we stop testing, the pandemic ends" conspiracy:

I find your warning a bit unfair as there are literally no CTA inside the blog content promoting our product and only 2 internal links toward other educational posts.

But anyway,

I thought about taking a random sample of pages who returns a "200". Let's say 150, and manually tagging them to find if they're "dead" or not.

And then reuse the "dead or alive but a 200" ratio for all the pages but I was afraid that I'd need to tag much more than 150 pages to have a significant statistical result.
Really cool use-cases! I wonder why you decided to move them under a separate page instead of showcasing them front and center?

Right now the focus seems to be how easy it is for developers to get going, but it doesn’t really talk to me why I should be doing it.

Once I read the use-cases I get the idea and I’m impressed, but the drop off from people not bothering to click on a 2nd page can be surprisingly big.

When talking about battery life and general usability, nothing beats PalmOS yet. With weeks of battery life, it just took 3~4 key press/strokes to start jogging down something or checking schedules tomorrow, etc. Nothing on Android or iOS can beat it even without counting passcode clearance.

It was truly a golden age for handhelds. TONs of apps probably because of developer friendly plus the great eco system. I always wonder what would happen if national network coverage and web apps on Palm OS were better.
Well, except that the approximate time for an additional "stable" qubit is currently plateauing, so outside a very lucky breakthrough, it's still unlikely. The official record for an actual running Shor's algorithm is 21 (not bits, just the number 21), which is still puny (there was an attempt to factor out 35 (again 35 as in 5×7), but it ended in failure due to quantum noise).

Then what does it have to do with TikTok?

If the underlying assertion is "ccp is evil," where and why does this relate to TikTok specifically? Why not every other item you are probably consuming?

>> Say what you will about Facebook, Google, et al., but they haven't come that far yet.

They're tech/media companies, not governments. FB & Google are however responsible for the norms under which TikTok can collect data for whatever purposes they want. They're the ones who normalised this sort of shady behaviour. It's a pretty straight line between one and the other.
