As I understand it, she wasn't diagnosed with preeclampsia (despite being a pregnant woman in a maternity hospital for shortness of breath--for ~36h) until after she was placed on ECMO. Her levels (I think maybe liver enzyme is what matters?) fell back into normal range within a few days of coming off ECMO, but they do not reverse the diagnosis once given.
That's absurd. If you buy something in a store you may never have visited the website of the manufacturer. It's not fit for purpose if you need to agree to a new contract, the terms of which were not disclosed to you before you made the purchase, before you can use it for its intended purpose.
Ask HN: What are some interesting examples of Prolog?
I'm trying to source some programs and libraries written in Prolog to gain a better understanding of how a complete application is put together. Lots of Hello, World-esque examples out there, but looking for things that are a little less trivial.

I did come across terminusdb: https://github.com/terminusdb/terminusdb which looks interesting.

Any other codebases people would recommend that are worth a read?
Does this remove it from search results only or from google's databases? I'm assuming google keep all the data internally for themselves and just filters it out for the users.
> Not having enough collateral to fund normal operations seems like a failure on the company's part to me. It's not like the collateral was an unknown requirement.

Collateral was a known requirement in known amounts. And then the clearing house increased that known collateral requirement amount overnight, due to GME volatility. That overnight increase was a complete unknown until it actually happened.
Post-incident review on the Atlassian April 2022 outage
The only story by a well known author I know set in my little town in Massachusetts is by H.P. Lovecraft. But he places the town about 50 miles away from where it really is, and the description he gives of the downtown area is way, way wrong- cobblestone streets and brick buildings, when at that time the town was dirt roads and farm houses. I've always wondered if he simply didn't know the town actually existed, as he used a few different non-existent Massachusetts towns in his writing and he could have thought he was doing it again here.
Corelation does not imply causation. Maybe its that people who are prone to depression have some factors that make them less likely to believe in religion.

It's not clear to me that folks would want this behavior globally - I personally would not, because sometimes I want to be able to include curly braces in my strings without it being interpolated, and I prefer the current syntax of having that just work. I'm very comfortable with having to add the 'f' to the string syntax to declare that this particular string should be interpolated.

There are other issues you'd have to deal with as well. Would you interpolate non-literal strings (e.g. in the code `print(input())`, if the user inputs the string "{1+1}", what would be printed?)? How would you propose dealing with jinja and other strings that typically contain curly braces that should not be interpolated? This could also be an issue with (potentially long) strings containing lots of random characters: if a '}' showed up in a string somewhere after a '{', even if separated by tens or hundreds of characters, then you'll run into errors. This could be a problem if you're dealing with pseudorandom or base-92 encoded strings, or even just strings representing code (imagine a python library that generates C++ or Java code which has lots of hard coded strings with braces).

I think overall, having to specify that a particular string should be interpolated is a better solution than having to specify that a string should not be interpolated.
Because there were more buyers than sellers within Robinhood.

So when a RH user hit the buy button, RH couldn't find a seller within Robinhood and had to go to the clearinghouse to find other sellers. Robinhood maximized its buy orders to the clearinghouse (ran out of money), and that was it. RH couldn't afford finding sell-orders anymore. Game over.

------

Furthermore, the amount of money needed at the clearinghouse was clearly a burden to Robinhood. When they saw the bill, I'm sure they would have preferred for sell-orders to go to the clearinghouse (rather than internally), to unwind from DTCC.

All stock brokers prefer trading "within" the system rather than seeking out 3rd party partners to find stocks / stock-buyers. Its cheaper and easier.

Many interesting comments in this thread -- thanks, everyone!

But a related question: how to handle long-term usage?

I mean, I had some scripts which were essentially using "openssl enc -bf -salt" and this has worked fine for more than a decade. But at some point (I think when OpenSSL went from 1.1.0 to 1.1.1), OpenSSL started generating a warning about "deprecated key derivation" and suggesting "using -iter or -pbkdf2".
Now, I can obviously update the scripts, but then the need to start storing metadata arises: this file was encrypted with this method, but this one with the other method.

I am confident that such issues arise with any long-running process. How to cope with the issue?

Yes, they do. Q1: 30%, Q2: 20%, Q3: 20%, Q4: 30%

This is my internal stat over the last 15 years or so (since 2007), there have been a few exceptional years but overall it seems to hold. Q4 and Q1 of the year following usually have a lot of post holiday season deal making that then results in deals being inked either still in Q4 or in the first three months of the new year, then things slow down a bit while all the new portfolio companies are integrated and then the holiday season starts. So come September everybody is back in the traces and ready for a new batch.

No it does not. Contract law only requires a meeting of the minds between two parties. (Whether there is any meeting of the minds here is debatable)
Market value of the Rivian investment would have been public knowledge prior to the earnings announcement, therefore baked into valuation spreadsheets, and so also into the price of AMZN stock.
Fundamentally they can do it because partitions are relatively small, so you'll have hundreds of partitions from hundreds of different tables on a single machine and a handful of hot partitions are only a tiny blip. (There is of course a limit to how hot a partition can be, they'll cut you off before you start consuming a large amount of resources on the host.)

Unfortunately single-tenant systems are more constrained in this, because you don't have millions of partitions to spread across thousands of machines.
"Works as you expect it to" is not the same thing as "fit for purpose". The purpose of a hammer is (mostly) an objective fact. Your expectations of what the hammer can do, on the other hand, may or may not be reasonable.

(Though in this case I think it's perfectly reasonable to claim that the camera is not fit for purpose if the EULA terms were not clearly disclosed before the purchase was made.)
Embrace the monolith: Adding a new product to Aha
To clarify, the landlords always gave me a receipt for payment, and in most cases had me sign a rental agreement. There are some countries that come to mind where squatters' rights are particularly strong (Spain, for instance).

In general, most of these places were already vacation rentals before Airbnb came along, and the landlords were well prepared to rent them independently of the platform.
Yes, I completely agree. One thing I'll add as an example; I used programming as a way to learn about mathematical concepts too. I made a program to render an image of the Mandelbrot set, which helped me learn both some new things in JavaScript (what I was using) and mathematics (complex numbers and limits). You'll probably be able to find a similar sort of project for your son.
Is it because we want to live in nice homes in nice cities? Or is it because literally no matter where you look, it is impossible to buy a home there.

I don't have the impression that interesting technical discussion about Go has been particularly scarce on HN over the years? But if you think that today's thread is different enough from yesterday's thread to be significantly higher-quality and not just generic (i.e. about something specifically interesting in the OP, rather than just another generic discussion of Go, even if it's a good generic discussion of Go), then I'd be willing to take another look - in that case the best thing would be to link to the subthreads that you think make the best case for it.

The and in the previous paragraph is important, though, because a core moderation principle is to de-emphasize generic discussion (and follow-up threads, and repetition generally) in favor of significant new information. Past explanations on all that, if anyone cares:

You cannot compare the effects of restrictions on a vaccinated population to the effects on an unvaccinated one.

Restrictions were not introduced to "save" people, in such a way that you could restrict the lockdowns to the more vulnerable elderly population. Such a lockdown would have to be draconian (China-style).

Rather, restrictions were introduced (except for Australia and various countries in Asia which had zero case policy) to curb the growth in the occupation of hospital beds before the hospitals were full. Up until the introduction of vaccines and more contagious variants (Delta/Omicron) there were clear effects on Rt from the introduction and lifting of restrictions. Reduction of the reproduction rate cannot be achieved with a lockdown only of >60 year old people, since (like vaccination) the effect is inversely proportional to the amount of people not being locked down.

Noam Nisan and Shimon Schocken's The Elements of Computing Systems good starting point for various topics - It's the accompanying book to their Nand2Tetris course and, along with my explorations with the Raspberry Pi, was one of the starting points in my computing exploration.
I'm sure there is a use for it, that pattern may be representative of some other phenomenon in the universe that we haven't correlated it to as of yet.
Richard Hamming’s “Methods of Mathematics Applied to Calculus, Probability, and Statistics” is a wonderful introduction to calculus from one of those rare individuals who mastered the interplay between applications of mathematics and its theory. It’s packed with insights from a true veteran. He aims to teach you to view and interact with mathematics as a living, breathing, occasionally messy but beautiful thing; and in my opinion he manages to do so with a rare humanity.

He was one of the gems of mathematical exposition. If you’ve studied any information theory you probably know his surname well. His other books are also excellent.

It begins with a lovely quotation: “every scientist owes a labour of love to his field”. His work embodies that.
There are lots of exercises, and it includes answers to enough of them for you to check you’re on the right track.
IMHO, we didn't design our government to be impervious to pressures generated by large non-governmental financial entities, perhaps because the Founding Fathers hadn't completely taken in the possibilities apparent in the success of the Dutch East India Company. But I'm not a historian.
Uh, you don't really "allow" them to visit your website. All you can do is disallow them from visiting by blocking them using robots.txt. If you don't have a robots.txt stating otherwise they will crawl and index your site.

UPDATE: I suppose if you specifically allow the Googlebot via robots.txt, then in that case they could probably argue that you gave them permission to access the site.

I don't really use Go, I think mostly because I'm not in the target market, but this article's complaints (and some of these comments) actually got me thinking that I should take another look at it.

A long time ago, in a Haskell community chat, I saw someone dismiss Go with a pithy comment along the lines of, "Go isn't a programming language, it's a DSL for writing network services." I think I may need to re-assess that comment as actually being a really compelling elevator pitch for the language.

Armed with that perspective, I'm seeing why I wasn't terribly convinced by the article's specific complaints about Go. "Traditional IPC is a PITA and forces you toward talking over a socket? Well, yes, exactly. That's kind of the whole point."

Sometimes I wonder if we are all suffering unnecessarily because of our incessant demanding that all languages try to be all things to all people.
I’m actually curious if this would work.

Related, if someone asks me to help them set something up and I simply agree to the EULA, does it bind them to the EULA? Does it bind me?

This happens all the time for me.

Further on the topic of how words change: In swedish, we have lots of english loan words in our everyday vocabulary. (To the great dismay of some!) This has lead to the creation of the word "mejl", which comes from the swedish way of pronouncing email, where the "ai"-sound easily becomes a "ej"-sound, and later this has accentuated the prounciation of the word more and more.

The word now is its own noun in our dictionary following the usual grammatical rules in swedish, for example:

mejl - e-mail
mejlet - the e-mail
mejla - sending e-mail

And it is also commonly used in compound words too. Like mejlkorg (e-mail bin), mejlkonversation (e-mail conversation), bluffmejl (hoax e-mail).

I'm of the younger generation, and I quite like the way this works in swedish. "Mejl" to me seems like a thing in itself, rather than the two words electronic mail abbreviated.
>If it was instead fmail (for whatever reason) I think you’d still see a hyphen

I thing “gmail” is the counter example.
This is great, but removing the info from Google does nothing to remove it from the source. People search data brokers are one of the most common sources of unwanted posting of home address, phone number and email. If that's the info you want to remove, you can use Google as a tool for discovery to figure out who is posting the info, and then opt out at the source to have it removed. For more coverage you can use Optery's free crawl / scrape / scan of the people search data broker sites for you, and use that to have the listings removed from the source. Wherever possible, removing the info from the source is much better than just removing it from Google.
You can call it whatever you want.

What I know is this would not happen to me at Vanguard. And if it did I would switch.
> Making claims about what is "a more accurate reflection of the culture" is slicing and dicing.

You don't think it's possible to get a gist of what the public thinks generally? Most Americans (60%) think that abortion should be "generally legal" in the first trimester, while only 28% think that it should be "generally legal" in the second trimester: https://news.gallup.com/poll/235469/trimesters-key-abortion-...

Insofar as Roe requires abortion to be "generally legal" in the second trimester--a position that 70% of Americans reject--it is a departure from the culture.

> Just stand up for what you believe in. Stop trying to speak on behalf of "the culture" which is in most ways not accurately knowable, and even if it was, is of dubious significance.

I believe in democratic values. I believe culture belongs to everyone, and cultural changes should be driven bottom-up, through social consensus, not top down by legal elites, big corporations, etc.

> Most major shifts in societies (not all, but most) occur in opposition to "the culture".

Much more so in the U.S. than in other developed countries, and that's a bad thing. Most European countries ended up making elective abortions available in the first trimester in response to changing social views. In the U.S., legal elites rammed through a second-trimester rule that decades later is still at odds with public opinion.

Likewise, in 2015, the U.S. the Supreme Court found that the Constitution's implicit marriage right encompassed same-sex marriage. A year later, the European Court of Human Rights reached the exact opposite conclusion--finding that the express marriage right in the European Convention on Human Rights did not extend to same-sex marriage: https://eclj.org/marriage/the-echr-unanimously-confirms-the-.... Accordingly, countries like Germany legalized same-sex marriage in 2017, through the ordinary legislative process, with the support of 73% of the population.

Interesting idea.

I note, though, that one of the situations where people cry "gerrymandering" is when party X is the currently-dominant party in the state, and party Y has a "safe" district, and party X arranges to break up that district as they redraw the lines. That might qualify as a reverse-gerrymander, but people still complain about gerrymandering when it happens.

The short lifespan of an OH radical isn’t an issue if it’s deployed at the site of emission (à la scrubbers). You then don’t need them to last long enough to randomly bump into methane particles in the wild as you’re inducing them in a high-methane concentration environment where you expect them to react before they react with something else and break down.

That’s the moral of the story for all climate control: don’t produce bad stuff, if you have to try to get rid of it as close as possible (temporally and spatially) to the source because once it’s diluted in the atmosphere it becomes insanely more difficult.

Global CO2 levels are at 450 parts per million meaning you need to actively filter 2,222 parts of air to get to one measly CO2 molecule in the wild. It’s horrible inefficient (expensive and slow). But if you don’t produce the CO2 or if you tackle it right then and there at the site of production where it is at much higher concentrations, you still have a chance.
January 27th, 2021 Robinhood sent me an email warning that "In an effort to help reduce risk, we've begun implmenting certain restrictions for GME and AMC options trading". They explain some restrictions being made to options. They don't provide any sort of warning that completely removing the ability to buy the underlying stock for all of their users was even a possibility.

I think it sshould be part of their fiduciary duty to inform people of the risks of purchasing stocks that they are running out of collateral for.

It's pretty silly to imagine a product that is primarily used by hollywood studios doing this. I have interfaced directly with folks working on-set for major productions supporting the systems that actually capture and share the content for collaboration purposes.

Let me tell you, even for a company whose ENTIRE business is doing this, it's fucking HARD. It still involves producers taking bags of memory cards into their hotel room at the end of the day and uploading them on a laptop, in almost all cases.

The only connected set I'm aware of ever existing is Mindhunter[0], and it involved our engineers being on set and operating our entire cloud stack within roadie cases.

Simply put, the things that people are afraid RED would do are so complicated as to be nearly technically infeasible when major studios are willing to pay for them.

Another observation he's made is that black children are born light and darken, with a noticeable sex difference:

- Black males darken until eventually they reach adult darkness.

- Black females darken until puberty, at which point they are darker than they will be as adults. One of the changes they experience during puberty is a lightening of their skin.
