Yes there will be tons of new open-source end2end encrypted apps that you can install and government shall not be able to enforce it! But the new Act will give them power to proclaim anyone using it a criminal and they can start exercising draconian fines (i.e. hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars life crippling). No matter how you slice this and when you get totality of all possibilities all scenarios end up with world destruction making this the most dangerous and most stupid Act ever!
> "overall, the French people are woefully misinformed about the pros and cons of nuclear energy"

Not as bad as the Germans. The decision to build new nuclear plants is one thing, but to close down perfectly good and safe existing nuclear in the name of the environment is madness.

Especially when the alternative to those nuclear plants is to burn more lignite coal and build new pipelines to import more Russian natural gas.

I'm well aware of that, but I don't think that's a good idea.

There is utility in communicating whether you're working with a catamorphism vs a homomorphism. Code is written for humans, after all.
Holy smokes! What a list of resources.

The official developer manual? I want to flip through that just to learn more about the system and the context for game development at the time.
On the other hand, after growing up in the US I have to do the same when shopping in Germany or Switzerland. It’s almost unheard of for stores here to offer compensation such as a refund or exchange for many situations commonplace in the US, and many customer service interactions for other things like a phone bill have exhibited stubbornness to arbitrary policies that borders on hostility IMO.

I’m not sure sales tax excluded from prices is a matter of vigilance if it’s a nearly-universal national norm. It’s a bit like someone from the US complaining about being charged for bottled water at a restaurant in Spain after assuming they’d receive free tap water.
Whether equations are invented or discovered is actually a matter of philosophy... somewhere in the areas ontology and epistemology. And the debate is not really settled, I believe.

(assuming you are on Android)

Google's algorithm knows you opened your browser. They almost certainly know what page you opened and how long you have been on it [on chromium, everything typed in URL bar is sent to them]. They probably know that you asked the above question.

If it is a cheap android phone (or even if not, if it uses Rockchip chips, if it is a Xiaomi and likely if it is a Oppo) then at least one Chinese corporation, with ties to a very sophisticated gov apparatus knows it as well.

Considering how many permissions they allow each app to receive (esp. on older versions, which are the majority of users) other apps likely know it as well.

I have a Samsung, and there are lots of clues that they know everything I type and a lot of what I say as well.

Probably other actors as well, since a porous pail will leak...

I recently considered applying at FB/Meta, uploaded my (latex/moderncv) CV which it then parsed automatically and pre-filled their online form with completely garbled stuff.

I spent a few minutes fixing the first few fields but then decided it's not worth the effort and just submitted it as is.

Also, as an addition: Their career site is so slow and amateurish that I still worry about it being phishing site. I googled a little bit and other people had a similar impression.
Why do you think it's impossible to scale relations (aka tables) to infitine scale? It is totally possible, just look at various analytical SQL-ish DB-likes (Apache Hive, Presto, BigQuery, Snowflake, etc).

Now, what's harder is to provide some of the stronger ACID guarantees, say, fully atomic distributed commits. Most of the time it's just a question of time it takes to reach full concensus in a distributed context.

But this has nothing to do with the relational data model itself, which is just tables of uniform rows referencing each other. Say what you like about SQL, but the core model is perfectly fine.
I travel mostly Europe and it happens all the time. Also I have a past working in a travel/booking agency and if you are big enough you can get discount prices from hotels because they know you are going to book them X days of rooms over a month. So, they reduce their margin but gets more exposure/promotion by the travel agency.

With flights it's a different thing, but it can happen as well.
We submit to cutthroat and exploitive recruitment processes so we can submit to assholes in the workplace ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Some claim the remuneration package makes it worth it.
The Achilles' heel of the internet is that it's controlled by the US.
The thing is that in many countries of Europe (an maybe somewhere else too) we consider that a company is not only a way for the owners to make money, but they have a social value and responsibility.

Therefore you cannot just fire 200 people to hire another 200 cheaper, because that's a way to increase only company's profit but not society benefit. And if you fire them, you need to compensate them properly. Of course companies try to go around these regulations, it's up to each Government how to enforce laws to prevent it.
I remember reading a very interesting paper on how can we make nuclear waste dumps marked as unsafe for 1000s of years. It employed things like surrounding it with sharp, outward pointing dangerous objects, building a maze-like concrete structure around its general area and trying to create universally understandable pictograms to say “stay away”, even for a possible post-nuclear-catastrophe society.

Unfortunately I couldn’t find that paper again, but it was really interesting read and you might also find it interesting. Another similar topic that comes to mind is the https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voyager_Golden_Record
Of course that would be the priority. But there needs to be a cultural change that fears don't lead to ambitions for more control. That is only possible through sensible opposition and controlling instruments. Secrets laws and secret courts play no part here.

You might need to worry about this in two senses:

1. Graph constructs aren't first-class citizens in the backend. Various potential performance improvements will necessarily be missed.

2. PostgreSQL is ok/good for transactional work, not good for analytical work, like columnar DBMSes.
On a related note, the Retro Game Mechanics Explained YouTube channel has excellent videos about how SNES hardware works: https://www.youtube.com/c/RetroGameMechanicsExplained/videos
This is not true. The agreement between the federal government and the energy supply companies to phase out nuclear energy dates back to 14 June 2000. The first nuclear power plant was shut down permanently in Nov. 2003. At this time the power generation from coal (both hard coal and lignite) was around 300 TWh/year. It almost halfed to 162.6 TWh in 2021. The all time low was in 2020, though, due to the pandemic.

People seem to underestimate complications of the flu.

What does the CDC say?

https://www.cdc.gov/flu/symptoms/flu-vs-covid19.htm

Similarities:
Both COVID-19 and flu can result in complications, including:

Pneumonia

Respiratory failure

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (fluid in the lungs)

Sepsis (a life-threatening illness caused by the body’s extreme response to an infection)

Cardiac injury (for example, heart attacks and stroke)

Multiple-organ failure (respiratory failure, kidney failure, shock)

Worsening of chronic medical conditions (involving the lungs, heart, or nervous system or diabetes)

Inflammation of the heart, brain, or muscle tissues

Secondary infections (bacterial or fungal infections that can occur in people who have already been infected with flu or COVID-19)
The US lock down was a joke. Most places barely shut down gyms and that still leaves exercising at home and outdoor recreation as an option. We know that these people contracted a disease that damages the cardiovascular system. It stretches credibility past the breaking point to surmise that lock downs resulted in a meaningful portion of this mortality or morbidity.
Microsoft word is the most sophisticated word processor, people who use nano and vim are just behind the times... you can do anything with microsoft word. you can do anything with microsoft excel for that matter it's turing complete https://www.infoq.com/articles/excel-lambda-turing-complete/

so its realistically the only programming language you'll ever need and it's the right tool for every job because its point and click and it interfaces with the real world so that people can relate to it better and the learning curve isn't as steep.
...also, shipping high-value time-sensitive things across the planet in a few hours or less may be a viable business model.
I think humans in general are good at error-correction of language, so I’m not sure English is any special in this regard.

> I'm disappointed that Jacky Rosen (D - Nevada) is a co-sponsor. She's a former software developer and should know better.

I don't know why you feel this way - IME software devs are the least likely to care about privacy.

Maybe they've been so acclimatized to being online all the time, or maybe it's because they feel that they aren't at risk.

In any event, the first people to throw away their privacy has always been software developers. Just look at how many of them use Chrome, for example. Or how many of their personal projects are tied to some proprietary tooling that, as a first action, grabs their data.
Is that really a decision for you to single handedly make? People make mistakes, but it doesn’t mean they are evil. Pushing them to admit their wrong doing, give up their livelihood/careers, etc. is just stupid. Especially if “doing it for fun”. That’s not admirable, it’s disturbing.
I would argue (my opinion) - OOP smashes together state + behavior. The original reason for this was good: I.e the user of the class(object) should not need to know ALL the internal details etc.

Something like ECS (data-orientated). Very explicit separates DATA(state) and BEHAVIOR (System, Functions, Methods etc).

For me at least it makes it easier and more reliable to "reason" and have a "mental model" about the big-complex system. If I know that for example in a game project ANYTHING with "gravity" is about the ONE Gravity-System(which runs 1x60 seconds in possible sep.thread) and that it Operates(change state) for ALL entities with the "Mass + Pos Components."

Ask HN: Should I give my employer all my medical records?
I have been a software developer in an large organization for more than a decade. I have ADHD and see’s a psychiatrist every 3 weeks. Boss is now demanding access for to all my health records or said he will fire me. He has also locked my Active Directory account (he says temporary) and deactivated my building pass until I sign the document for HR to obtain all my medical records.

I have till Monday (less than a week) to sign the document.

I am located in Australia.

Should I sign the document so my employer has access to all my medical records and all the psychiatrist's notes on me?

TL;DR ADHD Software Developer. Employer demands access to all information in my medical records.

Consider the billions of shots being taken. Consider the time frame of 2 months. Consider the fact that it was the second shot. Meaning it could have happened within 2 months of the first shot, and then there's a 4 month window of consideration.

What do you think is the prevalence of something happening to someone in a pool of, let's say, 4 billion people in 4 months.

I'm sure 2 separate people had a potted plant land on their head. Is it worth considering its relation to the vaccine?

I'm not saying it can't be related to vaccines, but as an anecdote it's useless until it's shown in statistics, or proven causality by his doctors.
> CFS' design addresses the neutron bombardment problems and the tritium breeding problems by making the reactor smaller and enveloping it in some sort of molten salt. Because the wall is smaller, they plan on being able to replace the inner wall yearly via 3D printing.

My understanding is that even these molten salt or molten lithium blankets can only catch some of the neutrons - so the magnets and other outer structures will still get neutron bombardment, and the tritium you can produce will not fully replace the tritium you put in. The once a decade or two replacement of the entire reactor number I heard was predicated on a shield like this - without a shield IT would probably be once every few years.

Note that I am not claiming wind, solar and fission don't have problems. It's just that they all seem to be much simpler problems than fusion has, fundamentally, even in the long run.

I'm not suggesting we shouldn't keep researching fusion technology, but I also don't think it can or should he treated as a priority, or as if once it's done it will solve all of our energy woes. It will take a huge amount of time even after the first actual plant is operational until fusion becomes in any way economical and widespread, with initial fixed costs that will make fission seem like chump change.

Sex is a bimodal distribution that is so _extremely_ polar that calling it binary would be more accurate and helpful than bimodal. Calling sex bimodal is in the large misleading, even if correct in the narrow definitional sense.
This largely depends on whether the French website is a paying customer hosting their own images in a deliberate fashion (e.g. Amazon being responsible for facilitating GDPR compliance of S3 logs), or if it's a randomly hotlinked non-owned image.

In the latter (hotlinking) case the French website would almost certainly be entirely responsible if they operate at scale (excepting user generated content). In the former, it's obviously less clear cut (and also as mentioned revenue & scale are going to be very relevant).

Practical example: a private individual posts a hotlinked image on a French forum. Relevant questions:

- is that user profiting at large scale from data logged on the image server? No.

- is the forum website owner? No.

- is the image host deriving revenue directly from proactively collecting, analysing and profiling user data from readers of that forum post who are based in the EU? Possibly.

- is the image host doing so at large scale? Maybe.

3 & 4 are definitely true of Google Analytics, but broadly won't be true of many image hosts, so your image linking example won't be an issue most of the time.
Why not start with replacing loads of trans continental freight cargo? There's no risk of human casualties, you can land away from cities and transport it in. And I'm sure there's plenty of business to be had.

It's also a great way to fund the development of starship.

What I find amazing is that @techcode says, "Not sure what illegal consumer practice are you talking about." Dude! I know what the illegal practice his team (He says he was tech lead of the "Consumer Psychology Team" at the time.) did. It was "unduly putting time pressure on users", most likely related to misrepresenting what the "X people are looking at this" and "last available" means. I'm sorry, but you're not paid enough to play dumb for your employer. Especially when it's your team that has been singled out by government regulators.

A much better -- and honest -- defense would have been to state that it wasn't against the law when written, because the law didn't go into effect until January 2020, and the press release was from December 2019, and they would become in compliance within the six months as agreed to.
Thank you for this. Technically it's not GPT-3, but GPT-NeoX-20B, although they are based on a similar architecture.

The poor performance is most likely due to not having a large database of math problems to draw from. Github, for example, is part of the dataset that is used to train both GPT-3 and GPT-Neo variants, which is partly why they can generate meaningful code (sometimes). I wonder how a model finetuned for math would perform.
Rather the US than the PRC or Putin though.

But I'd prefer the EU, imo.
Connecting Go Profiling with Tracing
Shortest path to the 1st solution is often centralized, which is where we are now.

Decentralized design is the next TBD step which will follow together with defining how societies could better work with new form of decentralized direct democracies to maximize potential in each of us in a golden rule, maturely balanced way. Decentralized money will follow in new design forms too. I have lots of ideas and number of solutions to propose, but all that takes time and preferable evolution.

However, now we need to stop this evil!

My takeaway from the anecdote is that greatness != omniscience. These smart fellows brought experience and biases to difficult questions and had to have enough trust and confidence in the group to let the group function as a seminar.

And still, the best backtrace we can find for omicron leads far away from any vaccinated populations. Just pointing out because your words seem to lean suggestively towards implying a causal relationship.

You know what might, perhaps have prevented omicron? The whole world going "China" January/February/March 2020. But only perhaps, because OG SarsCov2 was so capable of jumping between species that it would have likely just held out across any length of lockdown in animal populations. Try putting squirrels on lockdown...

Speaking of species, I'd love to see numbers about cross-species infection about delta and omicron: are they still jack of trades or did they lose that capability while acing human microbiology?
That's awesome. I think you've hit the nail on the head by trying to fix the SQL part of relational databases and not the relational part. It's been a pet peeve of mine for ages that relational databases have been described as inadequate for modelling relationships and graph databases have been described as the solution. You CAN'T fix the problem just by going from n-ary to binary relationships.

How deeply is EdgeDB integrated into Posgresql? Any chance it could be used to query other databases eventually?
Personally instead of Mesen-S, I'd use the fork at https://github.com/NovaSquirrel/Mesen-SX, which contains a fix for saving settings on Linux Mono 6.12 (https://github.com/NovaSquirrel/Mesen-SX/commit/c374ca8b9ed3...).

I'm more interested in SPC700 development for SNES music. Mesen-SX has a SPC debugger separate from the main debugger, but I'm not sure if it's more or less useful than bsnes-plus (I know the Mesen emulators have a far worse Linux UI when running under Mono, and I haven't tried running the Windows Mesen under Mono or real .NET yet). I don't know enough to judge if the disassembler is better or worse than bsnes-plus though.
Help in ...selling it as land art, the goal was to make a garden in the style of permaculture, pfaf.org , plants for a future is a good example of stuff I wanted to plant, it's transformed pasture land into an "ecotopia"... ultimately it was a productive use of my time as while digging it manually I processed a lot of reading material in my head and had a healthy lifestyle. I think creating such gardens could be a matrix for (young) people as you create ongoing wealth that can be increasingly harvested over the years (there are more than 10kinds of willow planted on it, raspberries, mint spreading more each year ...
You're missing the point about this evil act. I'd also pick US as is now, but to summarize after this act US becomes greatest evil against all other and itself.
Of course, that wasn't meant seriously. That's why i like `for_each` (or `iter` or whatever it's called) as 'third' function too, because it makes it clear you're doing side-effects.
So this isn't even working for me. Generally in order for me to say I like something and not give some negative feedback it needs to be working.

Absolutely not, that’s quite invasive and inappropriate.

You should consider seeking employment legal advice so you can have expert help navigate this with you.

You should call someone from https://www.fwc.gov.au/resources/where-get-legal-help from the “Legal help from other organisations” section.

I've seen reports that say that if you have Covid, you transmit it as easily as anyone else, regardless of vaccination status.

That is why we see so many people saying that the vaccines don't prevent you from spreading it.

However, if you're vaccinated, you're less likely to get it in the first place, so from a standing start, you're less likely to transmit it. And since at some point everyone was covid-free, this is the important scenario.

Nobody who knows they have the virus should knowingly go near another person except in an emergency. Nothing you do will protect that other person.
Based on my very phonetically written native tounge, I think I could map most of the English language down to Hungarian letters (there are some exceptions in both directions)

Just for note, it would look something like this:

There are ‘laser’ powerups and bullet powerups. You can use the laser to blast through big columns of blocks, and or at least weaken them until your shots kill them with bounces. It introduces an interesting tension between wanting nice horizontal bounces versus wanting to hit as many blocks as possible with the laser. Fun stuff.
Actually 20 years of shitty code built on assumptions like this can break an AWS 96 core instance running SQL server. That’s my life.

Booking.com are abysmal.

I used to spend 100-150 nights a year on the road and an ungodly amount of money with them.

One time I turned up late at night to a property that didn’t exist that was listed on their website.

They were absolutely useless in helping to resolve and it took months to get the money back. The fake apartment remained listed on their site for a long time too.

Moved all of my spend to Hotels.com and had a much better experience.
