> We can't discuss the fact that our government is making decisions about what teachers can and can't teach children

If public school teachers made the decisions than the government would be making the decisions. Public school teachers in Florida (and frankly elsewhere in the US) are government employees. This is a government setting teaching standards for itself, its literally what government has been doing since it got into the public education business.

In Florida (and frankly elsewhere in the US) private schools can set and choose their own curriculums. If the public curriculum is not to your liking, go private. I believe even in Florida, you can opt in to charter schools too, which have more curriculum flexibility than the public schools.
Thank you.

Backing you up with some more sources: Webster's 1828 dictionary [1], which the grandparent cited, does not have the "make regular" definition, but rather definitions consistent with modern usage:

>1. To adjust by rule, method or established mode; as, to regulate weights and measures; to regulate the assize of bread; to regulate our moral conduct by the laws of God and of society; to regulate our manners by the customary forms.

>2. To put in good order; as, to regulate the disordered state of a nation or its finances.

>3. To subject to rules or restrictions; as, to regulate trade; to regulate diet.

Samuel Johnson's 1755 dictionary [2] has much briefer definitions, but also defines regulate in an interventionist, controlling sense:

>1. To adjust by rule or method.

>2. To direct.

There is absolutely no basis for the claim that "regulate" used to mean something like the opposite of what it now means.

What if they changed to law to allow residents that install charging infrastructure to have some preference/reservation of the spot they they improved in front of their residence?

Perhaps these needs additional tech. Something like a cable run from the house to the parking spot, enclosed under a grate that can be unlocked by the resident, as well as a lockout switch inside the house. Of course it could be better for the infrastructure to be public or for the city to contract with a private provider.
Yeah we shouldn't say we "know" that advanced civilizations existed, but there's nothing wrong with hypothesizing that they did. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
Is there such a thing as "evidence of absence"?
Shape Rotator. That is the meme.
Yeah I agree - this is the real comparison to AWS. You have to pay for AWS which is mostly a professional service (even if there are free aspects) vs Google services that are mostly all free. In my professional experience the support for Workspace has been excellent. Luckily I have never had to contact their support for my personal stuff.

There are no gas stations left in the West End and only one on the entire downtown peninsula which has been on sale already several times. I was answering about home charging for a non-trivial amount of the population.

The rest of the city is supplied well, it's just the peninsula which doesn't have enough. It is also one of the densest places in Canada.
This looks terrific - I live next to a forest and have so many birds here, I was thinking of building such a tool myself. I'm definitely going to set some time aside in the next week or so to try this out.

There's a 'steal all the money' DAO analogue of 'fire the missiles' for decentralized behavior. If someone achieves control, they can do _anything_ the system is authorized to do. Either the system can't fire the missiles, or it has to ensure the 'wrong' people can't achieve control, or that the cost of achieving control exceeds the value of the assets a controlling stake can direct.

Even a reasonable cost incentive may not be sufficient if enough of the controlling stake is available to borrow, or there's enough liquidity to allow someone to buy, exploit, and resell a controlling stake within a single transaction. That aspect is unclear in this scenario. Did the attacker repay the flash loan with stolen funds (netting ~$100m) or were they able to resell (unwind? return?) the controlling stake within the single transaction? If the former, shouldn't there be $80m floating around (former) holders of 'beans' to at least partially recover? If the latter, how was there enough liquidity to buy + resell a controlling stake's worth of tokens?
This reminds me of “every rule in the safety book was written in blood”.

In a way, every security measure at a bank is because of a previous attack. Those “undocumented pen testers” did help create the security.
Has anyone published some kind of quantified, "hard" comparison/survey about the relative productivity of programmers?

It would be very interesting with a clean "we asked n programmers to solve this"-type problem, and then being able to compare the solutions.

Uh, did I just sound like I wanted to work in recruiting? #fail
Can we talk about that name, though?

It only brings me associations with the Q-Anon movement.

I have to admit, 10 years ago when the LGBTQ community was struggling I was a strong supporter. After all the cancellations I really want nothing to do with organized LGBTQ. I don't know if they realize they are affecting people this way. It's probably all a numbers game to them.
Talk to your manager, If you are a team lead it is possible you are doing both your team lead work and individual contributor work. I found that was not possible when I took over my team because I am building the team, getting projects unblocked all the while trying to work on features - I realized I am in critical path and began blocking my teams progress. You have to let your "I can get this done faster than others" mentality as a team lead role and let others take charge of their work.
Being a team lead does not mean more coding, in fact it should be a small part of your job because you have to focus on other problems such and mentoring your team, aligning the team with corporate goals and building out the team- These are extremely time consuming tasks.
> By accepting ads, you open yourself up to a malicious vector for malware.

This is definitely the common justification for ad blockers. As I said in another comment: ad blockers themselves are a potential vector for malware.
Ooh looks quite interesting!
> I don't think you need to worry anymore then usual

Or, you realize that your usual level or worry is totally inadequate and that you should have been worrying much more in the past.
AWS has a decent (corporate) solution to this. They simply outsource account recovery and user attestation to the state and the finance industry. You stake money on a financial medallion (a contractual instrument that's a guarantee of sorts). Presumably you will get sued and armed men will come after you if you commit fraud. It doesn't scale well outside of the big cities but it could be a viable option for Google.
Yeah I want to do business with those investors putting in the $150 million, since they appear to be in the business of giving away free money.
What a nice story, thank you for sharing.
Let someone else step up! Hopefully there's someone on your team looking for extra responsibility. Take advantage of that!

If you recover, you'll know you have a helping hand and it will either set you up for being able to take on higher level issues, or at least reset expectations for team velocity for those times when you're down. If you don't recover, at least this sets up the team to be able to continue without you, so you don't have to bear that guilt if you leave.

I recommend doing this before taking time off. Otherwise you would just come back to the exact same scenario and burn out again in a couple of days.
This is ignoring that 3 and 4 are still improvements.

This argument is similar to me saying there is no point to encrypted communications because the government can hack it, plant back doors, throw you in jail, etc. That is all true, but making the government’s job harder, even if not theoretically impossible for a nation state, is still something that is worthwhile.
Game engine is not what is paying the developpers rent, and Stallman has always explained that he didn't believed artforms should be made open source.

It doesn't sound complicated to me to understand that you can sell games whose code is open source but the 3d models, graphics, levels building and artwork aren't. Customer would still retain all free software liberties, be able to port the game to other platforms and the dev studios would still get paid.
But I didn't say every archaism in the KJV was due to an intentional style choice. I said the KJV was intentionally in an archaic style. That fact makes it strange that "this is archaic usage" would be considered a problem in the KJV, regardless of whether the particular archaism was written to be an archaism or just developed into one.
This discount is what got brought up when I complain about this on NextDoor and Facebook. Local business owners who are contributing to the spam, whose circulars are among those I just immediately throw in the trash, don't want to pay more. I'm very curious if they actually track the ROI on that advertising. I've asked - one local business found they got nothing from mailings anyway. But that's just a sample size of 1.
The Save As clearly outputs single precision floats.

Try putting the input values into e.g. https://www.h-schmidt.net/FloatConverter/IEEE754.html - the outputs are just the closest representable float numbers (converted back to a reasonable base-10 representation).
It sounds like they responded to the complaint by unlocking the number, allowing her to port it out. Not by restoring her access. Not much of a deterrent.
Actually, we do indeed what the vote would have been, which is why AP felt comfortable calling it. You know why they called it, right? It's because Hillary had enough pledged and unpledged delegates at that point to become the nominee.

NBC called it before California, too. Because it was over. That's even assuming Hillary won ZERO delegates in California, which of course was not the case, and could not possibly have ended up being the case. It was a very conservative and well-justified call.

"Why doesn't the city install gas pumps along the streets as well?"

Because the process for pumping gas is fundamentally different from charging. If filling up a gas tank took hours, then you likely would see this sort of infrastructure. Also, it doesn't need to be the city directly. They can contract this to a private provider.
In debug builds, untagged unions become tagged behind the scenes as you described.
Ask HN: Why is one unable to download CA 540 booklet?
For some reason one can't download the California 540 booklet directly from ftb.ca.gov. One ends up at:

https://www.ftb.ca.gov/forms/Search/Home/FormRequest/4852

One has to give them an email and then they mail the pdf to one. WTF??? I can't fathom why they would want to do this. This is a total waste of space. Why clog email systems with a big PDF. Why do they need one's email in order to receive the instructions for form 540? Something smells funny.

edit: fix several typos.

Well let's break it down I am the ggp.

I think this is a good conversation personally.

Now, are you unconvinced that the act of cheating itself is a social problem?

I did use course terminology, it could be a moral failing as well. I lump a lot of those under social. And that's to my detriment obviously. But let's sort that out.

And then there's the part I'm convinced that I understand you on, and that is I believe our current state of technology is not a good fit for social problems, and you believe that it is. Or maybe more accurately, the solutions work and you're happy with that I'm concerned about costs and risks associated with said solutions.

I think once we understand one another there let's have a short chat.
Actually I think platos account of Atlantis and how it coincides with the dates of the flood is evidence. How could he have known the exact years back of the flood? Sure it’s shaky, but the geology checks out.
I’m a sample of one, but I’ll offer two things that have made a huge difference for me.

#1 - 5-ish years ago I used an alarm clock app that would require me to get out of bed and take a picture of an object in my house away from the bedroom (I chose my microwave), then complete a puzzle, then review goals I had written down in order to turn the alarm off.

I probably used the app for 6 months and I have to say it absolutely and permanently changed my behavior.

#2 - I had an epiphany about how my diet affects my sleep. I still have a lot to learn about this but the casual observation that eating a big meal too close to bedtime, high salt meals, and anything that could lead to heartburn can wreck a night for me. It sounds obvious now but I was going through my life not having really acknowledged this.

All in all, I do think my difficulty was mostly that I was a little tired in the AM and prone to making excuses and hitting snooze… my sleep habits were otherwise ok to good.

If you’re in a similar situation, I’d try paying attention to the link between your diet and sleep (even if you don’t think the link is there!) and finding something that forces you over that hump of initial work of getting out of bed. Once you’ve had to run to your kitchen to shut your alarm clock off and jumped through a few mental hoops, you’ve already gone through much of the trouble of getting out of bed.
Honest question, why was this flagged?
It would be very cool to have network of these listening to calls while birds are migrating at night. With a large enough network you'd get an amazing way to visualise large scale movements which are generally completely invisible. Wiring up the eastern seaboard around Massachusetts, southern Spain, the vast steppes around the Caspian Sea or pretty much anywhere else would be incredible.
Yes, because if you had been living a life full of worry you'd be much better prepared to take on the alien invasion.
What comforts me:

A reasonably strong belief that a species building megastructures will be fairly magnanimous. I believe that warlike, short-sighted species will destroy themselves and/or their planets before reaching the point where they are able to build such megastructures.

What worries me:

They may not stay that way once reaching that level of achievement. Alternately, they may remain magnanimous amongst themselves and yet be deeply xenophobic when it comes to alien species such as humans.

So far, the comforting thoughts outweigh the worrying ones in my mind.
Obviously I don't understand the details of Beanstalk, and you clearly have a lot of expertise, here, so first, thank you for the details!

Second, I am curious:

> There was a protection in place, which was that the measure must be up for 24 hours before it can be passed.

So what happens after that 24 hours? The way you've described it here, it sounds like there's an up/down voting system after the cooldown period to either confirm or block the proposed measure, but it's not clear to me how that works. Who has control over that final decision?
How do unions operate when anyone with a pulse can walk in and do your job? This is a serious question. Particularly with the Apple store, where associates exist basically to fetch items from storage. It pertains to grocery workers too; a large portion of grocery baggers in the US are unionized. How do the unions bargain with capital in this situation? Warehouse workers are different; that is certainly semi-skilled labor, and a strike could be ruinous to your business. But there is zero barrier to entry for retail.
I'm halfway through the talk and he keeps mentioning points that are strangely reminiscent of things that usually come up when people like Mike Acton talk about Data-Oriented-Design, and writing code for the PS3's PPE-s
Coming from that exact same domain. I still see a little risk: I used to use a specialized image analysis software for microscopy coming with the instrument and the software was hitting its limits mainly because it was running locally. We started using third party software or even developed our own software and were going to buy fewer license from the instrument manufacturer.
Of course instrument controls waa a thing, but also this: if not integrated these instruments are getting harder to sell.

What I am trying to say is that even these software business model tied to the instruments are no a guarantee anymore.
Well, but Jung is wrong. What did this guy know about humans, anyway? You have one identity and only one. Anything else is just lack of integrity. Said Mark Zuckerberg.
Do you have a link to where they normally discussed these things? I would love to read that.
That doesn't seem to follow. If code is law, then what spirit is there to interpret? That was the intentional deviation from the scenario where we all understood that rules couldn't be perfect and that we must strive towards the spirit of the law.

I agree with that, and would add that gas stations aren't particularly suitable for EV charging. They're often built on small lots and rely on high throughput to serve a lot of customers. EV charging is slower and therefore requires more space for the same level of throughput.

There's nothing inherently wrong with a gas station having one or two charging stations, but if EV charging is in demand then those spots are going to be filled most of the time. Which means that it's not a reliable service for the people who want it; better to go to a larger lot with more spaces. (And this proposal also includes mandates for sites with more than 60 parking stalls to get EV charging, which I think makes more sense.)

There's a natural tendency to want to shoehorn petroleum-based infrastructure into the world of electrically powered vehicles, but it kind of feels like trying to bolt a catalytic converter onto a horse. I think gas stations should just be allowed to die out and be replaced by other kinds of businesses based on what the market demands.
Show HN: Dataherald, no-code tool to help people see and understand data
Hi everyone, Anuj here, Dataherald CEO.

There are a bunch of EXTERNAL data sources in the world that people use a lot -- think census data, Bureau of Labor Statistics (unemployment, inflation), but even proprietary data sources. I was tired of getting these into useable data pipelines every time I need need to use them.

Dataherald simply creates data pipelines to hundreds of data sources and then lets you create auto-updating data viz -- all in under 60 seconds. The goal is to enable non-tech users to more easily use data, which has been a huge problem for me throughout my career.

We initially launched with local newsrooms because there was a huge technical barrier for local reporters to use data to educate and inform communities; we've started to solve that.

*We've overhauled the search feature of the product and looking to share with the HN community.*

Pls take it for a spin

Email did solve the spam problem, but only for strict spam. I still am drowning in the pseudo-spam of constant promotions and inane notifications that are from companies who I do business with and legitimately do need to contact me from time to time. It's at the point where maybe 5% of my inbox is anything I would ever be interested in reading. And I have noticed an uptick in this kind of think in my text messages. I hope it doesn't become the next email.
In the context of charging multiple vehicles simultaneously at gas stations, apartments, etc, it's almost a certainty that the building infrastructure would need to be upgraded. Newer 200 amp SFH can likely charge one car at a time with minimal upgrades.
Why invent your own models when DALL-E exists? Is it supposed to be better/more-accurate?
Zoe Lofgren has, for the last decade, regularly led Congressional work to mitigate the damage of DMCA 1201. (See this one from a few years back https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2017/02/fair-use-consumer-prot... ). EFF currently has a project, Apollo 1201, led by Cory Doctorow, to seek legal challenges to the law.

It can be hard, because 1201 is an implementation of an international treaty, the 1996 WIPO Copyright Treaty, which requires language on anti-circumvention technology. The Treaty was passed after language similar to 1201 failed to get traction in the US Congress before '96. Treaties, in theory, trump domestic legislation, in that the US has made a commitment to honor the treaty, so the law is meant to reflect that commitment.

However, the treaty itself only specifies that "Contracting Parties shall provide adequate legal protection and effective legal remedies against the circumvention of effective technological measures that are used by authors in connection with the exercise of their rights under this Treaty or the Berne Convention and that restrict acts, in respect of their works, which are not authorized by the authors concerned or permitted by law."; DMCA 1201 goes much further than that. So that we can imagine a fix to the law that returns the US to a more balanced implementation of this language.

However! The United States has also entered into a number of bilateral treaties with other countries, requiring them to also implement DMCA 1201 language, and many states have just cut-and-pasted the 1201 language as part of their compliance with the Copyright Treaty. The EU has similar requirements on its member nations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-circumvention

You might want to read some of EFF's historic reports on the development of the law: https://www.eff.org/wp/unintended-consequences-under-dmca/ar...

Politically, there's been a concern for a number of years that re-opening the DMCA might lead to worse outcomes: ironically, the strongest advocates for revisiting or repealing the DMCA has come from the rightsholders, who feel they have an opportunity (given the tech backlash) to draft an even more draconian law. So I think that opponents of DMCA 1201 have mostly fallen back to advocating for stronger exceptions under the triennial copyright office review of the law, https://www.techdirt.com/tag/triennial-review/ where individuals and companies can push for specific exceptions to the blanket ban. This is where you'll have seen legal permission for filmmakers, videogame archivists, etc.
Actually, I would have been dumbfounded as to why it was an autocomplete solution. The letters were not an intersection for the second lady's name.
You’re making big assumptions here. You assume I want to post shithead things. I’m actually afraid to simply speculate about the world in general. Countless people are being trained to think a certain way and take offense to free thinking. My concern is not only twitter moderation but confident (useful) idiots in general.
This is also why I don't go to the doctor.
#1 sounds like Alarmy. It's a really useful app that I still use today. There is a wake-up check function that silently asks if you are awake up to 3 minutes after completing your mission, to help prevent you from going back to sleep. If not, it infinitely continues the alarm cycle.
