> 1. Silence is the default mode, Bluetooth speakers require a much more active effort so that's not really a fair comparison.

That is a logical fallacy called "Default Bias." There is nothing inherent about something being the default that makes it better. We should never have created writing, architecture, or anything new because the status quo was better? The status quo can be objectively bad and sometimes the active effort to change it is warranted. Systemic racism is the default. Lack of access to clean water was the default. Woman as stay-at-home moms and excluded from the workforce was the default. Additionally, "much more active effort" is a nonsense statement. Everyone is engaging in effort to get value/happiness. It is not for you to judge how much effort I am willing to exert for my own happiness. It took a lot of effort for women to not be silences in the political system through the suffragette movement. Many people just over 100 years ago in the US were saying that the default role for women was silence. (Clarification, I am not saying that there is not a value to silence or that people playing music is not a harm -- there is a value to silence and people blasting music is a harm -- but it is not simply as black and white as you want to make it out to be on the social cost-benefit)

> 3. The idea of requiring a maximum dB doesn't really work in the sound doesn't just instantly drop off like that so the physics aren't really going to work out.

If there is other natural sounds that drown out the artificial sound, then the maximum dB rule is pretty effective. A beach with active waves and lots of birds is a great example of this. My level of noise is very relative to the ambient background noise.
And there it is, the one thing I can never have an honest conversation about. The rules are different for ugly people, based on my personal experience as one data point. We're the last lot that everyone can discriminate against, or abuse, and get away with it.
Algorithms are not patentable. Alice v. CLS Bank Int’l, Supreme Court 2014, holds that abstract ideas "merely requiring generic computer implementation fails to transform that abstract idea into a patent-eligible invention.”

But at the same time, just because a patent includes an algorithm, it is not necessarily invalidated.

At a dose factor of 0.000018 mSv/kBq for tritiated water, you would get a 3 Sv dose from "only" 1/5000 of the water.

Drinking (or inhaling) 50,000 gallons of the (undiluted, so best case in terms of volume) water from storage tanks would probably get you with kidney failure somewhat before the tritium does.
> Some people would simply prefer not to sit next to an animal that may drool, shed, bark or otherwise act unpredictably when stressed on a flight.

Can we at least apply this same standard to the other human passengers on a flight then?
PA?
I purchased an extra seat on Virgin from SFO to SAN 6 years ago.

The rules may have changed since, but the flight attendants were loving on my pets...and the 1 hour or so flight time was hugely preferable to farting around on highways.
GC makes a lot of sense if you want to provide ergonomic pure functional programming. Pure functional data structures are implemented using the idea that old versions can share nodes. With dynamic reference sharing you need something like reference counting at the least, which is a form of GC. But you probably would want something more than that since saying no to cycles would be too onerous.

No-GC could be used in cases where you are just transforming one list or whatever and you don’t need to keep around any references to older nodes. That’s an optimization which is used by a research language which focuses on effects (whatever its name was). But it does use GC (reference counting).

Then you have linear types and all of that. But the intent seems to be to want to complement regular functional programming, not to invent a new GC-less FP paradigm.

You claim that it is merely “cultural” makes it seem to me that you just want to throw some weird shade and that you don’t have any particular technical argument in mind.

Have you considered simply putting a feedback button or link to a survey?

It's interesting I have no problem communicating with all of my users because my project is a live chat app.

But one thing I noticed is there are countless things people want, so much that it can become challenging to filter them down and choose which ones are valid or should have priority.

Another issue is the conversations can be dispersed, so really it makes me think having a dedicated feedback button is still the best option even in my case.

What you just said is almost a verbatim summary of what my naive understanding was before watching my business partner undergo an EDD audit earlier this year where I myself was scrutinized heavily and interviewed by the EDD, having done some 1099 work for this guy. (And, the audited year was actually BEFORE the CA ABC test came into effect.)

What I'm trying to communicate is that this understanding will NOT sufficiently protect you from the CA EDD. It goes MUCH deeper than the above and they have no problem making assertions that probably would not stand up in court if you hired a tax attorney, but they don't really care.
There's an easy solution to this: pet-friendly and pet-unfriendly airlines. The prices shouldn't be much different, because there are benefits to both being allowed to bring your pet and not being around pets, and in most cases the experience is nearly the same. If they are, the pet-friendly airline would be the more expensive one.
This is interesting. Can you recommend a link to read more about this?
> Go makes me write dozens of lines of code to do something simple that in an any modern language takes a few.

"Getting out of the way" doesn't mean it takes fewer keystrokes - it just means that you don't have to think about it / there are no surprises. It took me a while to grok what pythonic code is and looks like, and I feel the bar for Go is even lower. Even if you're browsing an unfamiliar codebase, code is exactly where you expect it to be, and you don't have to ponder on where to make your changes. To me, that is how a language moves out of the way; it fades into the background and you mostly concern yourself with the logic.

CCTV is installed in places where you are visible to your co-workers anyway. You laptop webcam follows you everywhere. It's an invasion of privacy.
Surely, these people would still have the option not to book a flight with PetFriendlyAirways.
They could offer just a few "pet flights", with different livery, and interiors for easier cleaning, and a premium on the tickets for the pet owner and pet seats -- then also a discount for the excess no-pet travelers who explicitly opt into filling out a pet flight.

It might be a terrible idea, but I've both heard and had worse!
In 1776? Well you would have to ask them.
So, paying for wifi hotspot should be handled through my cell company, not my car manufacturer. Same with vehicle tracking (through onstar, not the OEM), XM radio through XM.

I don't mind paying a one-time fee to have the hardware installed, and if they offered a version of, say, XM radio or OnStar or a wifi hotspot with unlimited internet for my duration of ownership for a larger one-time upfront fee, I would consider it.

I can't think of anything that I would want my automobile manufacturer to be responsible for as a continuous monthly payment in addition to my loan and insurance though. Not a damn thing. They're trying to charge monthly fees for built in safety features like advanced braking? That's a lawsuit waiting to happen. "GM allows family to die in burning agony because they did not pay their $9.99 braking fee for 2 months" will make excellent headlines.
or if you buy a seat for it...which i say having done so on Virgin.
If a company from Virginia does business with an employee from California, then business is taking place between entities of Virginia and California, thus Virginian and Californian laws must be followed. It is that simple.
Yeah, and it's easier for me to deal with that as a result: I can pay extra and get a first class ticket to get (depending on the plane) either some more space or A LOT more space to myself.

Would be nice if airlines would make it just as easy to buy some more space for my pet. Pay more to buy the row out, pay more to get on a limited selection of "pet friendly" flights, probably other ideas could work too...
I've been playing Red Alert on this for a few years, and it's sooooo good. I used to play RA as a kid, and I love having it back.
Same. I love dogs. I don't want to share an airplane with them, sorry.

I once made the mistake of staying in a 'pet friendly' section of a hotel. The smell alone was enough to make me check for that next time.

Steganography is a very exciting topic and is not limited to image data but can also be applied to, e.g., audio data.

I’ve done something similar in the past and embedded Merkle tree nodes in an image to allow partial integrity validation. It was a fun little project:

>That is interstate commerce, and therefore the jurisdiction of the originating state, California, can apply.

States are divested of the power to regulate interstate commerce. This is squarely jurisdiction of federal government, not the states.

>Your comment confirmed that the value originated in one place

The bits originated in California. The value originated in Illinois. It was valueless to the company while locked in California. Perhaps it was valuable to someone else who never made the transaction in California, but not to the company in Illinois who actually paid for it.

>The company in Illinois compensated the employee for their time to generate intellectual property,

If the employer were simply paying for time then why not hire a prisoner or a nice retired old lady to sit in a chair for 8 hours a day? We both know they aren't paying for time, they're paying for the useful bits they have in Illinois. They want the IP, not to burn people's time.

>So then the work clearly has value prior to being packaged and sold to the end customer.

It has value to the customer in Illinois, not in California. It is valueless to the customer locked up in California. It has value perhaps to the employee in California, but not the employer (customer).

>You seem to have conflated the concept of an employee with that of a business or an independent contractor, which are not the same thing, and are not governed by the same laws

I haven't conflated, I'm showing the courts contradict themselves. They say it's fair game to charge sales tax even with no physical presence, with no tax paid to the other state with physical presence, but then want the exact opposite if you buy IP from an 'employee' instead of bullets from a company. It makes no sense. They want to have their cake and eat it too. One may argue such wishy-washy behavior is 'arbitrary and capricious' which could cast doubt on whether their rulings are even enforceable.

>No, the business is not "purchasing IP within their state lines", the business is employing a person who resides within another state, and therefore the business must abide by the employment laws of the employee's state, as well as the business state of origin. An example of buying IP would be purchasing a legal contract template, or a software license. In the examples I provided sales tax for the state where the purchase originated would apply.

We simply disagree here. I see that they are purchasing IP within their state lines, you see something completely different.

>I'm unsure if you are trolling or just very confused

I could say the same for the state of California. It seems they are trolling to go after someone in Illinois for buying bits in Illinois.
Once it was in Illinois it had value, before that it didn't have value to the buyer. Again it was useless to the Illinois company while locked up in California.

California wants to regulate interstate commerce, which of course is flatly unconstitutional. California's tax board is a clown circus of petty tyrants who have tortured and subjugated their victims for far too long.
When someone tells me I’m the best cook ever, I interpret that as hyperbole for fun.

I guess I'll start my second comment related to legal matters by stating that I am not a lawyer. :)

I don't know about the CFAA, specifically, but to my knowledge DMCA 1201 has been used to stop independent car repair shops from accessing the diagnostics computer by encrypting it and saving the encryption key in plain text right alongside the encrypted data. Accessing that encryption key to decrypt the data in a computer that's ostensibly now owned by the person who's trying to authorize the decryption has (at least seemingly) been found to be in violation of the DMCA. I have no idea if that's ever actually been challenged (though I would assume it has).

In that legal environment, the aforementioned potential CFAA ruling seems likely.
but great name for the little dog!

This is just another war in a series of many wars in many many different countries, with the only difference, that this one wasn't started by the americans/nato, but by putin.

How many peripherals do you take with you when you leave the house?

an actual FPV flight hobbyist 5" prop size class quadcopter (such as you might fly with goggles and a real remote control) can typically carry a gopro hero8/9/10 but a gopro is also a lot more compact, brick shaped, rugged, and has very extensively researched video stabilization systems in gopro's proprietary "hypersmooth" which writes the stabilized video into the HEVC file it records.

putting something flat and large like an iphone on a 5" FPV quadcopter would be awkward and bad.

Being attractive helps you in everything. Humans have a fundamental positive bias towards those they perceive as attractive.

At the risk of sounding arrogant, let me share my personal experience. Over a period of a year in my early thirties, I became more conventionally attractive by: purchasing clothes from StitchFix (a styling service), getting my hair cut regularly by a stylist, adopting a regular grooming routine, and exercising (especially weight lifting) frequently. Prior to this I dressed like a negatively stereotypical engineer with baggy/unstylish clothing, little to no grooming routine, and little to no exercise.

People of all sexes and sexual orientations unquestionably treat me better than they did before. They are more open, more willing to give me their time and attention, quicker to trust me. I’m given favors like extra services (a barista telling me I can cut the line and give her my order directly), or small free things (bartender comping a drink for no reason). And frankly, people just look at me more. I used to feel completely invisible walking down the street, never catching anyone’s eye - not the case anymore.

Because the change happened over a relatively short period of time, and because I spent my entire adult life prior not engaging in these intentional efforts to be “attractive”, the contrast was extremely obvious.

There is a dark side to all this that I’m not going to get into, but I will say that having experienced the contrast I do feel motivated to maintain some level of attractiveness for the preferential treatment.
I for one welcome our new Biosporin overlords.
Legitimately not trolling here, trying to understand.

How is it that the high-IQ HN zeitgeist centers on the contradictory positions of "climate change is an existential threat" and "we must expend more resources and build more housing"?

Seems like reducing population in high-carbon-footprint countries is the obvious solution to both problems.

The university should just sell the patent the company and then they would be the practicing entity that can sue.

This is even better because things can't just be patented and that knowledge locked away without anybody able to use it.
There are also many people who would prefer to not sit next to a human that may droll, vomit, start screaming or otherwise act unpredictably when stressed on a flight.

None of that is unreasonable… is it? That's why I don't fly with my dog (in large part out of concern of their well-being), but maybe airlines should also consider not allowing toddlers on the plane if these things are the concern?
This is nice. Reminds me a lot of koyfin before they went pay2play.. now I found myself some other open source tools. Thank you for this!!

This is very cool, and a neat application / exploration of RL. Am I correct in understanding that the results are only from the results of simulation? If so, it'd be cool to see this work (both a time-lapse video and a chart) in the real world, over a day or over a week!

"We're not internet-facing, so we're not at risk, so we're not concerned with security." Standard misconception. I once worked with a team running a large Hadoop cluster. Everything in a private network. Nothing internet-facing. No risk, right? Well, a Python library they were importing got compromised and was using all their nodes to mine Monero. Oops! The cluster had been running for weeks. The only reason anyone knew about it was the performance of the cluster was terrible; all the CPUs were maxed, yet no jobs were running.
According to this article from earlier this month, they basically are just cannon fodder: https://www.reuters.com/world/conscripts-sent-fight-by-pro-r...

> Several Donbas draftees have been issued with a rifle called a Mosin, which was developed in the late 19th century and went out of production decades ago, according to three people who saw conscripts from the separatist region using the weapon. Images shared on social media, that Reuters has not been able to verify independently, also showed Donbas fighters with Mosin rifle

> ... Some Donbas conscripts were given the highly dangerous mission of drawing enemy fire onto themselves so other units could identify the Ukrainian positions and bomb them, according to one of the sources and video testimony from a prisoner of war published by Ukrainian forces.

The fundamental point is "legislators of all levels make short-sighted decisions that will bite them in the ass later".
The USA's Great Resignation seems to be caused by five factors that I can see so far:

* Covid deaths, some of those people were workers.

* Long Covid, not going to work if you can't.

* increased drug dependency due to pandemic

* workers on the "frontline" noticing they got fired despite being "essential" This is basically the same as "too little work" as in "noticing I'm being screwed over". There's a lot of variations on this, like IT workers realizing their jobs involve an insane amount of work and responsibility which keeps them from what they actually wanted to do with their lives.

* People retiring early, basically because of all of the above (except deaths).

These are the one's I've identified so far, I'd like to hear of any other possible explanations.
CNN isn't really reporting to "the world", and the US (or Europe) has a considerably higher median age. Decision makers at high levels are even older.
