Some good points. But he greatly misinterprets military.

Having different countries bring in control of different military tactics and procedures is a benefit, not a weakness.

Also, Europe isn't weak. He says that they "suddenly changed some stance on certain issues" and that's exactly what Democracy is about.

As the largest democracy project in the world. The success should be more clear, reminder: it's only ~20 years old.

All neutral countries feeling threatened by Russia want to join EU and NATO now. This was never a coincidence.

It's the raison d'être of NATO , where the EU is an extension of.
But you only seem to be pointing at the "the great unknown", yet we don't have a huge,sudden increase in cancers and other things associated with EM radiation by those who are concerned about it. Science is about proving things and speaking with authority on that. I can sling "what ifs" all day long and it's almost useless unless I have an intention to act on it and prove or disprove it.

As far as I can tell (see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1565164/what-is-the-rati...), the only reason for it was that early chips had no other single instruction that could be used to implement isnan, so they decided to use == for that purpose.
> Also, when COVID occurred there was little room for teachers to get a say

This may have been a positive. The teachers and their unions are only motivated for them to stay home and "safe", forever. It's the customers (parents) who need the leverage to get the teachers to actually deliver the service they're getting paid for, rather than trying to hide from their job indefinitely as many would be happy to do.

Unions can be important to protect workers' rights, but it's also easy for them to go too far into not even providing the service the job is supposed to do. Particularly in an area with captive customers and government-mandated demand, like education.
It's just a talking point that gets repeated by folks that don't follow the legal profession in general or the federal courts more specifically. It's completely ridiculous to claim that Barrett is a "conservative sockpuppet" as some commenter below us makes. She's been a law professor most of her life. But everyone plays dirty: Garland should've been on SCOTUS (his work on the OKC bombing prosecution speaks for itself, and is not to mention patriotic); it's a shame that Congress blocked that vote, but politics is politics.
A backdoor in Curve25519 hasn’t really been a concern, because unlike P-256, the parameters for the curve didn’t come from NIST. Curve25519 is a djb (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_J._Bernstein) special.

So unless djb was secretly working with the NSA and willing to risk his reputation to backdoor a highly scrutinized elliptic curve, the risk is low.
Should you also have the right to work at the company and not be forced to contribute to shareholder profits? Surely any management that was actually good for workers would have no reason to oppose such a measure.

I think insulin will already be less expensive in 2024 anyway, due to efforts by a nonprofit manufacturer started by a nonprofit Utah healthcare chain with many partners. The manufacturer is trying to make many drugs more available and less expensive. It's quite interesting:

Assigning tasks and classes is the job of management, not the fellow union workers. Often, management is not allowed to be in the union as that would be a conflict of interest.
The motherboard wasn’t broken per se, you just were trying to split an iommu group apart, which is insecure (and thus unavailable by default).
For sure, though "it depends" comes into play. Roundabouts down scale well beyond 3 lanes and if one gets clogged up it can have a butterfly effect that causes clog ups at other intersections

At least with a standard crossing intersection of say the E->W road is hosed up because of a traffic accident the other flows of traffic are unaffected as long as the intersection remains clear. Even if some jerk gets stuck in the middle they have the ability to U turn out to unblock the intersection.

With a roundabout when it's not clogged its very nice and I do enjoy them. But I've also been stuck at an intersection for more than an hour because of a fender bender in a roundabout causing a full traffic stoppage with no way out.
Shouldn't it be easier than a kernel parameter to compare the performance of specific applications that relied upon the current behaviors; at least for a major rev or two?

Top of rack requires space, which must be paid for monthly in a colo'ed environment, or reduces usable space (ie. revenue generating space) for hosting/cloud providers.

Direct programming on a chipset is a lot more complicated than running an off the shelf router.

Yes this is a niche product - but your proposed alternatives are silly in most cases where just slapping a zero U device into an unused PCIe port is far less complicated, less expensive, and easier to maintain.

Having one set of team members coming in vs others being completely remote will trigger FOMO among the remote employees, particularly if they went remote during the pandemic, and with good reason. Managers are much more likely to be among the set of team members who come into the office, and like it or not, out of sight is out of mind when it comes to promotions and advancement opportunities.

He caused the bug to be exposed to another, he did not discover it, as he did not know there was a bug or that he had any sort of relation with it.

He was part of a phenomenon, someone else was the observer and discoverer of the phenomenon.

The lab rat did not discover rna.

However, the title says "uncovered" not discovered, and as someone else pointed out you could parse the title as referring merely to the text string and not the person.

Those 2 things do kinda make it at least arguable. I think this title would make it through court on a technicality!
What age did you stop hearing it?

I assume if we had a future hearing aid that bypassed the eardrum and connected to the nerves directly, we could hear long lost frequencies again.
The Koka research language has something it calls "FBIP" (Functional, but in-place)

Where you write functional/immutable methods and the compiler deterministically can convert it to in-place mutating operations for performance:

https://koka-lang.github.io/koka/doc/book.html#sec-fbip

"With Perceus reuse analysis we can write algorithms that dynamically adapt to use in-place mutation when possible (and use copying when used persistently). Importantly, you can rely on this optimization happening, e.g. see the match patterns and pair them to same-sized constructors in each branch."

"This style of programming leads to a new paradigm that we call FBIP: “functional but in place”. Just like tail-call optimization lets us describe loops in terms of regular function calls, reuse analysis lets us describe in-place mutating imperative algorithms in a purely functional way (and get persistence as well)."

This is the exact distinction I'd like to make, in fact. The pension probably isn't managed by a union, it's managed by a board and management structure that will usually include both employees (who might be former employees, or members of one union, or a different union, or management) and representatives of the employer. The union most likely negotiates certain details of the pension in their contract, but actual management is not typically done by a union.

Hence, they cannot easily use management of the pension fund (they don't manage it) against the employer, as the OP claims.
> It would seem like a sensible business move, even if it involves a little bit of service disruption for users in New York.

It only seems like a sensible business move if you ignore the incredibly negative PR that'd come from it. You're laying off a lot of local workers and publicly making a target of yourself after the vote passes. Usually businesses will shut down sites before the union vote while they can still sort of BS their way into saying "Well, it looked like the vote would've failed anyways - look at this internal polling" - doing it after unionization is going to add a lot of vitriol to the situation, much more so than the underhanded techniques they use to sway the vote.

RMT and ASLEF; Unite don't tend to organise train crew.

London transport is an interesting case. I wonder the extent to which they have well-paid secure jobs because they can and do disrupt London. Bus drivers have a much worse deal, for example, being easily replaceable.

I think from time to time about a statement made by Bob Crow, who was the former hardline chief of the RMT. He said that his members were now amongst the only working class Londoners who could afford to live decently in the city they served. Which (despite my dislike of his tactics) does seem like a reasonable point.

FWIW my union (UCU; academic) has traditionally been a lot quieter and more consensual, and we've been repeatedly shafted in recent years as a result. That kind of collaborative management/union relationship only works if both sides are committed to making a decent workplace operate, and our management no longer are.
Good catch, that’s a typo on my part (especially given that Dec 2022 hasn’t happened yet)
No, I don't believe you could argue C is purely functional by framing memory as the output of the function because C doesn't treat it as such. Memory in C can be changed even if it is not listed in the inputs or outputs of the function.

He's not really stretching the definition, that's just the lens through which FP looks at the world.

Of course there is state. FP doesn't prohibit state, it just makes it explicit and referentially transparent. But this is in the semantics, not the execution model of the program.

They've been encouraging that forever, but it's just not there yet. They weren't going to wait until it was less convenient than people, they're going to do that the moment that it's viable, but as of yet, it still needs work.
These things are an absolute BLAST to drive but you also feel like you are literally driving a tin can - I do NOT want to think about what would happen if you got into an accident with a larger vehicle like an SUV

Nobody can say, with any justifiable confidence, whether it is a bad idea. Maybe you will find out.

What an evocative example! Before reading your links (sorry! They're long. I added them to Pocket), I just don't see how "allowed to leave an emoji reaction to an issue inside a repository belonging to an organization" could be anything but application logic. That is, all of the logic should be in the application (except authentication). Every noun in the sentence is application-specific! Perhaps the organization has repository-specific blocked-users lists, and disallowed-emoji lists, and (in the application) repo owners can modify the disallowed-emoji list (subject to approval from the organization owners, of course!).

It seems like building a service that tries to abstract all that (the emoji is an "attribute" of the "action" to a "object" that has an "owner" that has "rules") is doomed to succumb to the inner platform effect. The only solution I can see is to build a general rules engine, but, in my experience, those tend to just be complicated, hard-to-read ways to implement logic that should just be code.

Then may I ask you about the provisions available to opt-out for baptism by proxy?

Is it possible to contact the church of LDS to refuse in advance, should any descendent (or proxy) convert, then want me baptized at any point in the future?

[Just in case it's not clear, that's a serious question.]

I'm asking while I'm alive because I won't be able to opt-out when I'm dead.
The most energetic person I know is also the most infuriating to work with. I like him, but he can only listen to one point at a time. He gets very frustrated when the one thing he wants to fix doesn't make the system work. He does not take the time to comprehend how details fit into the larger picture. He does not onboard mental or software tools that would be a force multiplier.

Energy alone is not a good predictor.

>“Googlers” who come into the office less frequently will be at a disadvantage for promotions, pay bumps and desirable assignments...

In my 17 years of telecommuting for a SV megacorp, I experienced each of those. I also experienced living in a cheap state with mountain trails out my back door, a pajama commute, avoided a ton of forced social interactions and politics. In retrospect, I made out like a bandit and would make the same choice if I ever felt the need to go back to working in tech.
In my opinion, the big problem is that police unions have a clear goal: protect their members and advocate for their interests, like most unions. The people on the other side are much more ambivalent and don't really care what happens; it's the faceless appointed bureaucracy spending taxpayer money, insulated from accountability.

This causes issues in a situation like serious misconduct, where it's entirely reasonable to fire the individual. However, a union will have strong grounds to make sure those policies are enforced fairly - and they simply aren't, it'll be allowed to slide if it isn't in the headlines. The problem isn't that it happened, it's that it ended up in the news!

As for whether it's because police management is all former union, they're just collecting a paycheck, or what - I'm not sure. But where you see the power of police unions, I see the incompetence of police management. If that's intractable, I do agree that police unions are bad because there's no opposition.

In comparison, a big company typically maintains a single goal - to make money. There will be exceptions of course, but as a whole, it's a coherent goal and things will be done at all levels to support it. There are the same sorts of issues with minor misconduct, since it's irrelevant to making money, but big issues are typically bad for business and thus there is strong motivation to enforce rules like "don't choke people" or "don't steal stuff".
> I wouldn't be surprised if Amazon announced the closure of this fulfilment centre. It would seem dramatic but if it kept other centres from unionizing I could see Amazon taking the short-term discomfort.

I think you're underestimating the long term pain Amazon is opening themselves up to by closing a recently unionized site. With a labour shortage and extremely high churn Amazon is already having hiring issues - scabs aren't really on the menu if you're already scraping the barrel and a large employer in the local market.

I think the crux of the argument is summed up here:

> Developers could theoretically build an ECC implementation with terrible parameters and fail to check for things like invalid curve points, but they tend to not do this.

So, it's just about trusting developers to implement a different algorithm properly.
Yes, that was my thought as well. It's a pretty subjective statement, but Alphabet and its subsidiaries are pretty clearly on top and there are not too many obvious competitors for the silver. OpenAI is quite small and narrow in focus. I have not heard anything from Baidu in a long time and Tesla also has a very narrow focus and does not contribute much to the research or tooling environments. Facebook is extremely active across a range of AI applications, publishes papers, creates tooling and releases products that millions pay for.
I totally agree with you, Amazon is like that.

Hey HN, I'm Gabriel, founder of Meticulous (YC S21). Our mission is to make the world's code safe, performant and reliable.

We're starting with a tool to catch JavaScript regressions in web applications with zero-effort from developers.

How it works: Insert a single line of JavaScript onto your site, and we record thousands of real user sessions. We then replay these sessions on new code to automatically catch bugs before they hit production. You can watch a 60-second demo at https://www.meticulous.ai.

Catching JavaScript regressions is just the start. We are a London-based YC company. Our team previously worked at Dropbox, Opendoor and Google. We just raised $4m, and are backed by some of the best founders and technical leaders in Silicon Valley, including Guillermo Rauch (founder Vercel, author next.js), Jason Warner (CTO GitHub), Scott Belsky (CPO Adobe), Calvin French-Owen (founder Segment), Jared Friedman (YC partner and former CTO of Scribd) and a bunch of other incredible folks.
