Fixed this paragraph for you:

The tool has the potential to solve one of the biggest unmet needs in authoritarianism: a way to easily control the functions of particular brain cells and circuits deep in the brain during normal behavior — such as citizens freely socializing with one another.
Not whether or not a repo exists after it's set private.
I don't think the verdict is out yet. They have said they are in a testing phase. Early versions of hardware are typically very far from flawless.

Interesting... "It is impossible to prove anything in the physical world using the digital world". What about proving that a bank account is yours? Would you consider login + 2-factor + social recovery an acceptable level of proof of ownership?
Asymmetric encryption learning would be a lot quicker if they'd call public keys "locks". Maybe not very accurate, but when I heard the word once, I immediately understood the whole concept, easily.
What it sounds like is a company that screwed up, offended someone who was easily upset, made that person panic, confronted him, made it worse, and then used company policies that are only necessary in the USA to stop him returning in case he returned to do harm.

It's not theatre but it sure sounds theatrical, when they could have apologised, given him some time to regroup his emotions and then left it at that.

When I was much younger I had a nervous breakdown at work during a period of extreme personal stress -- I really absolutely and totally lost the plot. Quite probably upset a lot of people, many of whom did not see me the same afterwards. Though more fallout for me personally; it was difficult to be there and my reaction undermined me.

I was treated with enormous -- and I must say on reflection completely unearned -- respect and at no point did the company feel they had to do this. Because I'm not in the USA.

It's worth considering that many places in the USA seem to think the problem in their culture with violent crime is not guns but the fact that mentally ill people can get guns and weaponry of all sorts.

What follows from that is company policy that seriously upset people must necessarily be treated as a threat.

And this sort of "bar him from the building because he panicked" outcome is the logical conclusion of this attitude.
As a Catholic, I’d love to read more about the science of Christianity.

Alas, I often find people who research this area start with a conclusion and cherry pick arguments to fit. Some perhaps don’t; but they are a minority and thus require digging through a lot of pseudoscientific material.
Yes that's one of my points (the historicity of his life).
There's not enough detail or background here to make confident armchair readings about anything. Having long ago experienced panic disorder that overlapped with my professional life, I am grateful for having been accommodated and sympathetic to anyone who experiences it. But it's not clear here that the employee explained the full situation to their boss. Just that they said they didn't want a party, which a lot of people would say. Enduring some uncomfortable and unexpected social situations at work is a reasonable expectation of an employee. Enduring unexpected work stress in general is a reasonable expectation of an employee. It's not inherently evil to fire an employee who has poor reactions to workplace stress. Panic attacks as a result of an unwanted birthday party are not that far off from panic attacks from having to meet a new co-worker, boss, or give a talk to even a small group.

But again, there's not enough in this article to really anlalyze. It's infotainment contrasting of the inanity of a birthday party with the firing/damages.
> I really don't understand the comments of "I will literally not spend a single minute configuring my editor".

It's really not difficult at all. I and others have probably a million things we would like to tinker with (yes, including tweaking a text editor), but we all have a limited time so we end up with priorities. It just happen that I didn't make a priority to tweak vim/neovim because I'm happy with my current code editing setup. For other kinds of software, I may not be happy at all, to the point of writing my own.

See: different people, different expectations. Your choice being right for you doesn't mean it's the right choice for everyone. Tolerance 101.
It actually does run on KVM! I spent yesterday trying to get it to work and found the trick was setting the chipset to i440FX, and putting every drive on the IDE bus.

Probably not a reasonable choice for any real usage though.
Haha, yep. I don't want to hear other people and don't want them to have to hear me.
It's funny when people get sulky because someone wants to provide a space force open discussion. Twitter is the place that banned a true news story and interfered in a presidential election. They also ban people for correctly stating a person's sex.
If people are cranky, they can build their own.
Yes. Otherwise this might as well be an article speculating on what caused the extinction of the unicorn.
Upon leaving the town, there will be a "speed restriction removed" sign.

There'll be a sign that you're leaving the town (same as entering the town, just crossed out). The speed restriction removed part is implicit.

Re: Latency: 35%

I would substitute "baseline latency" to the DFZ as this number, and also report on "working latency". https://www.bitag.org/documents/BITAG_latency_explained.pdf

Jitter, is usually also induced by other traffic on the link. It's really difficult to come up with metrics for these, there is some interesting work going on here, notably Apple's new "responsiveness" networkQuality test, and caida's jitterbug suite.
This would be like if an employee told their boss they were allergic to peanuts, their boss knowing giving them food with peanuts, and then firing them when their allergic reaction caused too much of a scene. It is an open-and-shut case and I'm glad the employee got some form of compensation for their employer carelessly putting them through this.
"Financially unregulated"? Yes, there are not currently regulations prohibiting people from offering to buy stuff. If that's a problem, any solution is likely to be worse.

If Musk already owned, say, Facebook, then the antitrust regulations might kick in. But just offering to buy a company? Yeah, that's unregulated. Free market and all that.

Further down they do mention this:

As far as I can see (having checked wiki and the abstract of the original paper - I'm no expert on this) the DK effect is only the first of those claims. However it sounds like claim 2 is less significant here anyway.

Re claim 1 the random numbers example is "all noise, no signal" and I can see the objection that a more convincing example might be to demonstrate the "false" DK effect in an example that does have some signal (i.e. a positive relationship between actual and estimated skill), but that is easy to do and I hope you'll be able to see why if you see my reply at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31042619 and read the comments under the article I mentioned there.

The point is that the DK analysis involves comparing two things which both contain the same single sample from a noise source. Pure noise like the random numbers in the example displays a powerful DK effect due to autocorrelation that says nothing interesting (just that a single random sample of noise is correlated with itself), and that powerful effect can swamp any actual relationships in the distributions. To avoid that effect appearing, you have to make sure that if the two things you are comparing contain samples of a single noise source they are separate, independent samples of it. The experiment with the education level groups achieves this because the education level is "measured" as a separate event from the "actual" skill measurement so they have separate noise sources (and even if they didn't the noise source would have been sampled separately and independently).

I have to say, during the discussion above I hadn't thought through it deeply enough to grok this level of it, and while pondering your last comment I went through a phase of "hang on, am I actually understanding this myself?", so I apologise and retract any suggestion of bad faith.
Yes. Someone elsewhere in this thread suggested that it could be improved to make it impossible to make the repo private before you delete all the stars somewhere else in the UI, therefore breaking out of the pattern.

Surely there are multiple solutions, but I think you distilled the essence well: make the truly dangerous action different to the learned repetition.
I have a very strong doubt about it because Rust debugging still sucks. No debugger allows you to evaluate function calls AFAIK, which is a very strong restriction.

As my own normal, age related roll off advances, I find all the good stuff is under 10 to 12Khz.

I mentioned different eq curves down thread. I don't have a lot of technical data at hand, but older radios from the vacuum tube era where they had response over 10 khz.

A good one, play that a respectable volume in a room, sounds pretty great!

What I'm kind of hinting at here is there maybe Equalization curves that can satisfy our need for that bright open sense that is missing when the higher frequencies are also missing.
Which ones? Only 13 of 50 still tax groceries. Not gonna be a big impact.

As an exercise a few months ago I tried deploying a static site to a freshly purchased domain on netlify, start to finish I found it took less time than any aws workflow and gave me free inbound forms.

I say this as a very experienced aws and s3 user who also has several static and dynamic sites on s3 buckets, VPS & ECS.

netlify for simple static sites is a simpler and faster workflow with https and forms as 0 config and free.
That would have to mean that ALL nukes are on launch sites ready to be deployed.

I guess you can easily damage a rats/monkeys hearing consistently (may we find peace for our sins) and I guess you can easily strap those animals into an MRI or strap an EEG measuring device onto one.

Seems simpler than training a significant amount of them!

> The entire warhead of Javelin weight just 8.4 kg. That's the entire warhead - not just the explosive.

And the entire AT4 weapon (including the sling, the barrel, warhead... everything) is 6.7kg.

Javelin is a big boy. Reaching the limits of what people can carry effectively, especially if you need a 2nd or 3rd shot to do your job.

EDIT: I think RPG7 is like 3kg for the rocket AND explosives, 8.5kg for the entire weapon.

EDIT2: So yeah, you can carry 3x AT4 for the same weight as 1x Javelin.
"McDonalds already had multiple successful suits against them about this very thing."

Ok, then I want to hear the reasoning behind those rulings/awards.

"The lady in question got incredibly serious burns on her legs."

That's an outcome/result. That has no real bearing on the culpability.

"She originally sued only for medical expenses, and McDonalds wasn't interested in settling."

Again, nothing speaking to culpability here.

"The coffee was much hotter than the industry standard."

Ok, so this is basically what my comment said. It seems 185 is about 20 degrees higher than other restaurants. It also has a warning on it (jury said it's not big enough, but maybe we should have everyone sign waivers first?).

"legal escalations necessary to deal with a bad corporate actor"

Depends on your viewpoint as to who is "bad".

Edit: why disagree with this?
I’m curious - what makes you believe it is all a scam?
You can also put KOReader on Android devices (or jail broken Kindles). Personally I'm not a fan though. It like every other open ePub reader I've tried also has limited to no support for ePub 3, so no vertical writing, no right to left page turns in manga, etc. I'd rather use Kobo's renderer than KOReader, better UI and better rendering IMO.
Based on what we know of the history of the very early church, it wouldn't have been easy for them to coordinate around making changes to the story - a centralized authority didn't exist until hundreds of years later. The total fabrication theory doesn't have a clear starting point for when everyone got together and decided to make up a character. That in my mind lends some credence to the idea that there was an individual that they could gather around.

If you look at how cults or religions got started in recent history, we never see a bunch of people coordinate in that kind of a way, where a lot of people disparately decide to invent a nonexistent leader and go around telling everyone that they recently died.

Could the central authority have later fabricated a history of the early church that made it look like there was a long period where nobody could have coordinated big changes? Maybe, but that is a standard that no set of historical documents could pass. (It's like suggesting that the Byzantines fabricated every single classical document including the tree-rings of ancient historians arguing with each other.)
As some other replies noted, Postgres does not support that. Some drivers or ORMs do their own pre-processing on query text, and add their own support for that. E.g., in ActiveRecord, you can do:

User.where("status = ?", "active").all

ActiveRecord itself sanitizes the input here and the query that's sent to Postgres does not use parameter markers at all.

What is your address? You're open > 12 hours a day to the public right? How many hundreds of people can you fit?

It feels a weird impulse to me, this being persnickety about what is or isnt a public square. We're comparing trees and oh this one is deciduous but this one is evergreen, so these arent the same sort of assemblages... the differences dont justify overlooking the commonality: these are forests. In the macro these are the same.

And the differences dont even match up. There's a number of what would be considered public squares around that are privately owned. There are court cases about planned redevelopment of some thta would end long decades of public use too, & no clear sense of how these challenges will resolve. I see the common forest of the public square in all of these, even if not all are explocitly carefully planned; that the public is there, & has been, & uses it is a more noteable distinction to me. The behavior not the legalese is the dominant characterizer to me.

Its obvious that twitter is the clear & obvious site for the piblic to congregate & mingle online, without any compare.

> When people say things like "Twitter is the de facto public square" what they're arguing is that Twitter should be considered (or converted into) public property, and no longer be allowed the free speech rights enjoyed by private enterprise,

I do think twitter would be better as a public good, & i think any nation with democratic values whatsoever would be actively competing to create equivalent public utilities, to better protect & afford speech more securely & in perpetuity. I think what uou fear is up for debate, far from certainv calling it a town square or public square doesnt meam twitter has no rights. But perhaps we should indeed limit their corporate personhood tonsome degree, in reflection of their emerged nature as a preeminent public utility. Perhaps.

I dont think you can argue against the logic just because you dont like one possible implication. I tend to think the implication is less dire than you project, but I see it all as very much up for debate, not forgone in how it would conclude.

The law applies to where you are, not where you were, so IANAL but yes, this would work. However, if you moved purely for this purpose, it might be interpreted as fraud. Also, Amazon may sue you in their home venue (Washington, or perhaps Delaware if they are incorporated there). If someone has access to Lexis Nexis it'd be interesting to see how many such cases Amazon has brought, and what happened.
If that 80% kept you alive? No.

But when you are twenty I suppose one sees health differently. When you are 60 and take a bunch of pills to keep yourself from dying it suddenly all makes sense...
> Amazons leadership fundamentally does not see their employees as human beings

I'm there right now and this is very true.

It isn't even a hidden truth about working there. In fact, the company has a set of principles [0] that are necessary to adopt and use to justify all decisions you make or feedback you give to others.

And missing from this set of principles? Any mention of the humanity of those you are leading. The only empathy encouraged is for the customer. It's a cold cold place to work.

What would a reality look like in which cryptocurrency did not exist to create the financial incentive for these attacks? Assuming the same lack of security exploited by ransomware also exists in this reality, how would the attacks differ? Would the attacks be less common or cease to exist because the financial motivation to do so no longer exists? In which case, wouldn’t that indirectly prolong the existence of insecure and exploitable systems?

Personally, I think there will be a long-term positive change in the tech world as a result of the recent rise in ransomeware. I think it has forced companies to reevaluate their security practices in an unprecedentedly serious way.

That's true, it requires a bit of memorization and configuration. I've put the shortcuts similar to character movements: CMD + j,k,l (jump over, jump out, jump in).
> Imagine if a company forced a recovering alcoholic to go to a bar and then firing him when he got drunk.

More accurately, if the employee got upset they dragged him to a bar and left, and then they fired him over that. Even more absurd, and yet closer to what happened here...
This is probably one of the biggest reasons I'm unlikely to leave the state until other parts of the US make similar determinations. It boggles me that we allow employers to have so much control over an employees life after they have left said organization.
Be concerned. Very concerned. If you try to change jobs, you will realize, to your chagrin, that your interviewers will typically have no clue how to evaluate the work you've done over the years (unless you have been doing full-stack web dev or something in that neighborhood, or have been working in cloud-native technologies, AWS, Azure, or GCP). Definitely be prepared to be downleveled and paid far less than your experience would suggest.

There is zero value attached to experience if you are IC in this industry. Do not be fooled by words, look at the actions of the recruiters, hiring managers and interviewers.

BTW, you had better grind leetcode. Even ops jobs are asking people to do algorithmic problem solving type questions nowadays.

Everyone who works for a FAANG or big tech company. Non-competes are unfortunately standard everywhere and I don't know of anyone who isn't like a distinguished engineer/luminary in the field (i.e. someone who can set the terms of their hiring) that was able to successfully negotiate one away.
Type punning in general is undefined (unless one of the types is char * or equivalent); but defining it between intptr_t and pointer types in a few restricted contexts (e.g. for const variables of static storage duration only) would be sufficient to address memory mapped registers and restrictive enough that it should be possible to define clearly.
