I think it’s your expectations that are out of whack. There is sticker shock, but pretty much everywhere else is higher.

Also, do you know what a clusterfuck it is if someone screws up accounting, payroll, or legal? Those systems are Byzantine and you really do need an expert to navigate them legally.

Normally that could be true but the vibe I’m seeing here is that they’re trying to find the highest quality for that price.

Obviously priorities can change with whim, but as someone who does a lot of RfP’s this looks like they’re very comfortable with the price they’ve set.
This is just straight up not true, as anyone who passed a K12 government/civics class in the US can tell you. Libel laws _are_ a restriction on your 1st Amendment rights - that was never really in question.

Originally, libel was considered completely devoid of 1A protections. Most defamation laws even allowed you to sue for *truthful* statements. However, in the landmark case New York Times Co. v. Sullivan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Times_Co._v._Sullivan), the USSC reversed this and ruled that the 1st Amendment partially applied to libel and laws must be scoped as such.
You describe protests as is they were an election campaign, with a well defined resolution mechanic and oriented to the public. they are not

the target audience of a protest is the people in power, they build on public opinion and wield it as a show against those in power.

also this can happen in many way, it could be a parent chaining themselves in front of town hall or an orderly march.

also a blockade does not sound like civil disobedience, in the face of these restriction civil disobedience would be not following the restrictions and opening anyway. (in civil disobedience you generally break only the laws you are protesting against)
"We hope to hire two contractors" ... one front end and one back end, to develop "organization accounts". It seems like a goal for a very specific target audience - the corporate user (which may be many readers here on HN).

But as mentioned before, it's still mostly irrelevant.

Even if the event happened, which can be possible. Blaming/Tying it to someone is a totally different thing, that would require totally different proof.

If the proof of the event already starts being doubtful within a couple of minutes of superficial checks. I don't think there is going to be anything left for tieing it to Faucci.

This is literally what the creator of the Vera report says when asked about the conspiracy theory of deaths:

> Tim Ross, a lead author of the Vera report, said in a phone interview that those suggesting the clinical trials were the cause of the 25 deaths were “completely misreading what we found.”

> “Our report does not support that claim,” said Ross, now the managing partner of Action Research, a child welfare research group. He noted that children who participated in such trials were “incredibly sick” before the trials.

Which seems pretty logical. People with aids then, didn't have the medical help they can have now.
I typically start with READY or STEAD or STEAM. NAILS is a good one!
I remember the first time going into Ironforge, and being immersed completely like nothing else before or since.

Even my first Oculus did not beat that.

I'm not sure what it was. The graphics were far from ground breaking. There were other games with big worlds. But I think the combination of world building, graphics, scale, and quality of execution (nailing the style) just completely shattered the level of anything else that came before - or at least for so many people that played the game.
But then you hit a jackpot and a 5, 6 or even a 7 figure settlement.

Which will unfortunately be paid by the taxpayer.
Those numbers are just the operating costs, which scale much more closely with the number of riders, the cost of the building the infrastructure itself isn't included. Including the capital costs would make transit look even worse.
> When consuming an app though, bundle size has got to be at least #5, far below something like "Does the app do what I want?" and "Is it performant" etc.

This much space is a pretty big cost. It represents wasted dollars, or shuffling data, or not getting it downloaded in time, or not having room for the pictures you want, etc.

> Again, we really have no way of measuring just how bad it could be.

If five minutes did this much, and this is within a couple orders of magnitude of typical, then we can conclude that the typical effort is really bad.

How much worse it could be might be an interesting thought experiment, but doesn't affect the above conclusion.

It could probably get almost infinitely bad if there was zero cleanup effort. But that's the difference between 1/10 effort and 2/10 effort. If I'm demanding 6/10 effort for a professional product, the difference between 1/10 and 2/10 doesn't matter to me.
Yep, and the costs is good summary of where the compromises balance out on average. Since urban areas cost more, it's fair to say people prefer urban areas more.
Wow, I had no idea this site existed and it appears to have a huge community that's active. The build itself is also quite nice and worth a read
I do more or less all the work on my vehicles. Its much cheaper to buy parts online and watch youtube. But when my 5 year old Hyundai started randomly braking and accelerating and OBD only said Can bus issue I decided that I was willing to pay up for a dealer to diagnose and guarantee the fix. It was a fuel pump computer so it would’ve been cheap to fix but not worth it to waste my time troubleshooting.
Right, so, the issue is NOT the BTS that is being raised, it is the phone on the plane, which are a lot closer to the antenna on the plane, which is on the ass end of the plane which is the low point during take off and landing.

this is the white paper that the FAA bases their concerns on
https://www.rtca.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/SC-239-5G-In...

that is the issue they are raising

I have run the numbers and there is no way even at phone full power that it can interfere unless it was less than 2m away even then it would have to be free space, etc.

the body losses, airframe, antenna back scatter all taken into account, very very unlikely unless the radar bandpass filters are from the 1960's
Does the movement not generate enough cooling from wind? Do you need heat sinks or active cooling?
Yeah, but it does not require impressive engineering (as in requiring super brilliant devs to get it done). It is mostly a good idea followed with a reasonable execution.
The only solution is to repair or replace the radio altimeters, right? The only question is, who is going to pay for it, right? The FAA could mandate that all aircraft with “faulty” radio altimeters are grounded until repaired or replaced. That would force the airlines to pay for the fix. Or, the government could offer to go halfsies on the fix since it was the FCC that allocated the 5g spectrum.
ok whoever downvoted,
read the report, you could not have done that by now,

You don't need someone sitting next to the phone the entire time to perform that service. Besides, you've swapped that perceived unpleasantness for another - some poor soul in a 3rd-world coding sweatshop has to scrape together some bloated mess of an app so we can enjoy our "hassle-free" gym sessions, etc.

An underappreciated benefit of the functional distros (Nix/Guix) for specialized hardware like this is that reproducing the original image (potentially with some tweaks) is very straightforward. For Guix this is just a 'guix system image' with essentially the same 'operating-system' declaration you'd use to configure your system normally; I don't have much direct experience with Nix but I imagine it's fairy similar. Provided you distribute the system config (and I can't imagine you wouldn't), building a slightly customized version of the image should be easy.

By contrast, it is not clear how I'd build e.g. the customized version of Ubuntu that a laptop manufacturer might ship.
Depends on the circumstances, but not really.

I thought it would mostly be training grad students, but they did a great job weaving the program into their undergrad courses and like professional outreach. That section of the proposal is super skimmable, each paragraph has a pithy bold summary header!
You also don't need to paint an entire a peer to peer community with the worst actors on it. There are plenty of normal content creators and instances that are not overrun with that content (see https://tilvids.com/videos/trending)

Also backing up your videos locally will not do anything for helping your fans get access to your content, you will still need to re-host it somewhere. Having it on peer-tube means if your account gets frozen/banned over some bullshit, you can just point your fans to your peer tube channel.
If anyone cares how this is impacting aviation rather than the likely more appropriate debate of if this should impact aviation... It stops an airplane from landing in a 93 foot range of weather, if the clouds are between 107 feet and 200 feet above the runway (okay at one airport for one approach for one runway - but it's likely +- 50' true at most places, see below).

In bad weather certain aircraft rely on their radar altimeter to help guide them to the runway. It gives them an altitude they can use to decide to abort their approach that is more accurate than air pressure combined with their inertial system. This below link shows that within a given distance of 5G they are not allowed to rely on their radar altimeter for those approaches.

http://www.alpa.org/resources/aircraft-operations-radar-alti...

> When operating in U.S. airspace, the following operations requiring radio altimeter are prohibited in the presence of 5G C-Band wireless broadband interference

> Instrument Landing System (ILS) Instrument Approach Procedures (IAP) SA CAT I, SA CAT II, CAT II, and CAT III

Below is the link for the S-ILS RWY 36 for DFW that requires SA CAT II. At the bottom you can see "RA 107/12" which means the airplane can fly down to 107' on RA (Radar Altimeter) without seeing the runway. At 107', if they don't see the runway environment, they must abort the approach. This approach assumes a working Radar Altimeter. The 5G NOTAMS effect this approach.

https://resources.globalair.com/dtpp/globalair_06039I36LSAC2...

Below is the NOTAM for DFW affecting approaches. With this NOTAM an aircraft cannot execute the above approach, so if the weather is between 107' and 200' (the minimum for a regular ILS without RA), then they are not allowed to land at that airport - where before the 5G NOTAM they could.

This is the narrow band of bad weather conditions in which the 5G affects approaches at DFW for that runway, 93 feet.

In the NOTAM you will see the above approach "ILS RWY 36L (SA CAT II)" listed and "PROCEDURE NA [not available] EXC [except] FOR ACFT [aircraft] USING APPROVED ALTERNATIVE METHODS OF COMPLIANCE DUE TO 5G C-BAND INTERFERENCE PLUS SEE AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES"

Yes! Duskwood - with that giant monster - and Stranglethorn Vale were absolutely incredible!

What was particularly enjoyable about it was that up to that point in the game - the areas seemed to get exponentially better.

It started off as the best game I had ever played - and each new area was somehow SUBSTANTIALLY better!
> Why do you have the problem with simply paying?

Never said I do.

You, however, seem to have a problem with the idea that not wanting to be tracked and watched is a legitimate desire. Why is that?
> So "this altimeter may be inaccurate near 5G" means "this airliner may not be airworthy near 5G" which means airlines must ground those planes.

No, they don't need to ground the planes.

There's different types of IFR approaches available to chose from, depending on equipment and how much visibility is reported. An inoperative radio altimeter means the aircraft couldn't land using the approaches for the lowest-visibility conditions, but doesn't mean they can't land under other less-severe IFR conditions.

In practice, this means the aircraft wouldn't even be dispatched if the weather forecast showed the destination's weather was below the aircraft's capabilities. They would also have enough fuel to divert to an alternate airport with better weather.

Notably this isn’t a direct democracy, where direct democrats have an unfortunate tendency to demand freedom from the consequences of the policies they themselves enact, and ask for the irreconcilable.
I suspect Sagan understood the roots, purposes, and goals of the post-WW2 "war department" and US space programs at the time, far better than you do today.

Go look up the origin of the phrase "military industrial complex" and you'll see how horrified people "in the shoes" felt about the state of the military at the time.
It is different. Its a solution to a symptom that will make the problem worse.
This tech could be used to control small fires and direct them away from populated areas, but that's not how it's being sold.
The saving grace for the company could be them educating customers on effective use to prevent large scale fires, but I'm unsure if they do such a thing.

That's specifically for unlicensed Part 15 devices ref. https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-47/chapter-I/subchapter-A... ... the point of that wording is that unlicensed devices have no rights vs. licensed emissions.

Subtree merges a whole repo into the subdirectory of another repo. You can git blame yourself back to the original repo. Unlike submodules, there's nothing in the file tree which signifies there is something special about this directory (it searches commit messages to get that metadata). From the monorepo POV, archiving is just never doing another pull. Using submodules is a nightmare.

If that's what you got out of this then I feel sorry for you.

https://status.slack.com/2022-02-22 has been updated with this:

> A configuration change inadvertently lead to a sudden increase in activity on our database infrastructure. Due to this increased activity, the affected databases failed to serve incoming requests to connect to Slack. We introduced tighter rate limits on connection requests to reduce the load on the system. This meant that some people could not access Slack at all, but also that Slack would continue working for those who were already connected.

> Once the system had stabilized, we began lifting these rate limits to enable more connections to Slack. However, we moved too quickly and the increased activity affected the system again. We reinstated the rate limits and redirected some traffic to the database replicas to relieve the demand on our primary databases.

No, they really can't. At least not until GBAS is rolled out. GPS is notoriously unreliable for altitude data.

GPS altitude is used for LPV approaches, provided you also have a WAAS correction signal, but those require higher weather minimums than the Cat II/III approaches that you'd use a radio altimeter for.

I wrote an unreasonably long response to multiple comments further down that probably clarifies nothing but expands on my original comment. You can see it here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30449521
One of my current heuristics is the expression of weirdness. I can see it in the way I write, there's like this thread of a human processing information through emotional and idiosyncratic experiences. There's a certain cadence to the way thoughts come out. Maybe it can be emulated eventually, but that might be farther off.

In my fantastical imagination of that implementation, I would simulate "sim agents" as they live a life, collecting unique experiences that are the result of interactions with other sims. They then build up personalities, which influence their expressions in other mediums that real humans would consume. It's psychotic and possibly evil and I thought of it first, so no one better take my idea.

You might be able to see what I mean just in this comment itself. Could this have been written by an AI?

For anyone who loved WoW (especially the early days), I highly recommend checking out the WoW diary, by John Staats.

"Objectively I'm right and all the positions I hold and advocate for are beyond reproach. Objectively anyone making less effort than me to make the world a better place in the manner of my preference is a biased, bad faith actor." --Things not said out loud.

Striving for objectivity is allowing for ones own bias and acknowledging the validity of facts and arguments that do not support one's own view on the matter. In reporting it is attempting to make one's own view on the matter irrelevant to the content written. Objectivity is removing one's extreme loathing concerning a current or former president to acknowledge facts that show that person in a favourable light and the exact converse. It is not a half way point between two competing arguments among many, many more on the matter. It does not mean if R & D official or semi-official positions agree it must be correct.

It is utterly bizarre how often people don't understand this as a valid point of view or simply want to derail the point for something else they want to argue for.
Yeah, if it is police only properly filed formal complaints (sometimes get one line on the form that they avoid giving you wrong means they throw it away), or getting a large group at all city hall meetings work. Even then it takes persistence.
