This is very interesting! Is there any public content available for further reading on your (or similar) approaches? I would be keen to try it in my Obsidian KG if so

Yikes. Preventing abortions brings unwanted children into the world and pushes abortion underground, where they’ll just be less safe abortions. Do you know how unwanted children are treated? I volunteer as a guardian ad litem for children who need a court appointed advocate, and I support abortion fully having seen the alternative suffering, not to mention anti abortion proponents supporting life right up until birth, and then it’s “good luck champ, this is America, find those bootstraps.” Ask your anti abortion proponent how many unwanted children they’ve fostered or adopted.

Anti abortion in America isn’t about pro life, it’s about giving a certain political subset control over womens’ reproductive rights.

Edit: this will also accelerate women obtaining permanent birth control (a tubal ligation or a bisalp, which is 100% covered by the ACA as preventive care) who are sitting in the fence or have firmly decided in being child free. Can’t take chances if you could be stuck with a child you didn’t want for 18 years.
LOL “Christian nation.” I don’t even think the Evangelicals actually believe this. It’s just a set of coded language they use to gain power, like people quoting their favorite movie.
I agree that the concept behind git is powerful and elegant. I very much disagree that the implementation of git is elegant. For example: how many things does `git checkout` do? And I still don't understand what the point is of having a staging area. Or why I need to edit files in order to provide Git with instructions on what to do when it rebases. Or why adding hunks is so much more difficult than adding complete files.

Git is built upon a powerful and beautiful concept, but the Git CLI is just about the worst viable interface to that concept that you can build. There's a reason that there are so many other Git UIs, such as Magit, SourceTree, GitKracken, etc.
It sounds like companies have rediscovered the NOC.
There's less data tying you to your identity with the web apps, and you can use an adblocker to reduce your profile even further. The location data is troubling but I've seen at least one of those randomize the pin slightly each time it updates your location, though in a circle radius so I guess you could triangulate it by staring at the pin a bunch.
I love how Prop 47 has become the rallying cry of the alt right. Prop 47 raised the threshold for certain felony crimes to, what? $950? That's smack in the middle compared to other states. For the record, Texas set their threshold at $2,500[1] back in 2015 – note that the previous threshold was already nearly four times what California had theirs set to prior to Prop 47 ($400).

Meanwhile SFPD busted a few of its cops for tossing drug evidence[2] instead of arresting the suspect, but somehow Prop 47 is the problem.

The only part of your comment anyone needs to read.
I think this advice is more applicable when you're at a job and deciding whether to stay or leave.
Not a specific piece of software, but a characteristic of a limited percentage of anonymous internal systems--one of the most beautiful things to witness in the realm of design is a system undergoing catastrophic stress when the designers anticipated and planned for such events, and in usually a very short period of time you see the results of extensive planning spool out, design features hidden from view and unappreciated until this moment, kick in and recover/compensate in ways that feel almost magical.

For obvious reasons it is much more common to see this level of design in physical, life-critical systems like aerospace or automotive technology, but you do see it sometimes in software. Well designed services that under heavy load, various kinds of infrastructure failure, attack, or other kinds of scenarios well outside the bounds of normal expected operations intelligently compensate while signaling alerts with precise, useful information, and attempt whatever kind of recovery is possible.

This is hard to anticipate and often thankless to build in advance. It's always a stressful time when this behavior is visible, but it gives me a feeling of admiration for the perhaps long gone employees who built it.
Strange. Drawing pcbs in kicad is one of the most soothing and relaxing things I do on my computer.

For about the first 30 monutes I did fight with with the basic navigation based on zooming out then back in, instead of just panning, but as long as I have an even minimally good mouse (mx anywhere 2, 2s, 3 for myself) it's fine. It's annoying on the track pad or a mouse without a good wheel.

And that's pretty much it. It only bothered me for the first few minutes to maybe an hour.

Everything else is just learning where a few settings or tools are, and getting a few basic ideas about how the schematic ties to the pcb. Those aren't really communicated very well by the app itself. I pretty much figured it out by just trying stuff and noticing what it did, but there are also tons of videos that just show you.

Almost immediately I was drawing pcbs and loving it.
So it’s better for them not to exist? Would be nice to at least give them a chance to live.
Several years ago, my last company hired Denzo to write firmware for a new thermostat project. Denzo does electronics for Toyota. The software quality was so bad, it all had to be scrapped. Their software engineers were doing things like making their own mutexes instead of using the rtos builtins.

It's been a while, so maybe there has been a reckoning since.
It could always be ruled the other way. Over 300 Supreme Court decisions overrule another one.

Abortion predates Roe by at least 3500 years. This just pushes it geographically and socioeconomically.
Probably worse. After all, smoking mainly just gives people more health issues. Smartphones have far more insidious sociological effects on the very fabric of society.

I think a comparison that does it more justice is to the use of leaded gasoline and its downstream effects on crime rates.
> I would like an opinion about transfer of assets from 501(c)x to a corporation though

Most 501c entities are corporations.

You probably mean “to a business entity that is not itself a 501c”, but generally a 501c is free to sell assets to other entities without regard to form or (absence of) nonprofit status, though there are other restrictions that might come into play.
> Sadly, "commoditization" has become a meaningless word

I've never heard this much less entertained the idea, since it makes sense in these contexts. Commoditization still means treating a thing (which can include a relationship) like it has an inherent relative value that can be traded for other things of relative value. Commodity (a raw material that has a market value) + ization (the conversion of).

Yet the end to James’ confinement came abruptly and almost anti-climatically.

That's a very good thing, because one would hope that the justice system, after realising its mistake, would correct it quickly instead of dragging things out like it usually tends to do.
The difficult part of decentralized tech like this is that we can not hide its complexity into any kind of abstraction. Decentralization, by definition, means that no node in the network is different from each other. Because of this lack of specialization, the system as a whole is more robust but the failure modes for each individual node multiply.

Decentralized systems do not benefit from "efficiencies of scale", but the opposite, they force every actor to duplicate work, execute functions, etc, etc.

> Reminds me of “the year of the Linux desktop”.

You know what? I think it is a good analogy, but not in the way you think it is. I think using "mass-adoption" as a measure of success for web3 is as stupid as using to measure "Desktop Linux" as a measure for FOSS success.

I think what makes web3 interesting is that it gives options, even if most people think that it is not the "ideal" alternative.

Centralized alternatives can and should be used whenever possible. They are cheaper, more efficient and do not require everyone to become an expert. But there will always be cases where the centralized alternatives are broken (Google's algorithmic approach to solve problems at scale), corrupt (governments/institutions that abuse their power) or hostile to the users (Big Tech exploitation of data privacy to optimize for eyeballs, Apple's "my way or the highway" when it comes to consumer electronics, etc).

I'm using "Linux on the desktop" for 15 years already, but it's not because I think it was a "better desktop". I am using it to because it is the only alternative that doesn't force me to sacrifice some principles and because it lets me avoid dealing with MS/Apple shit.

Similarly, this is why we should work on web3: not to try to replace the existing web, but to have an option that lets us avoid systems created (and controlled) by centralized institutions that might not be working in our best interests.
Easing Out of the Sulfur Trap
That actually sounds very frightening, can anyone comment on how possible that would be?
I'm leaving this year. Lived here for over 30 years. The only thing I can say for California is the unbeatable weather. I'll miss that. But in every other possible way there are so many better places to go. Plus I'm based and redpilled so I won't be destroying my destination with the voting patterns that brought California to this point.
Additional pesticides/herbicides cost more money to the farmer. So why would farmers continue to use GMOs if their cost would go up?
To start, assisted suicide is legal in some states.
I've always wondered how "segment matching" algorithm works

Is it just brute force checking every gps lat/long point in an activity to see if any path numbers are "close" to any segment lat/long start point? And then if so, to additionally match an end-point, and then if so see how many points inbetween match?

Seems like a heck of a db query, math ranges? Are the gps point normalized somehow to accelerate the process or just stored as original floating point and let the db engine do the heavy work?

adding: oooh it's right in the patent, figure 9+
This is something that's completely obvious to me. What I don't understand is why people online insist that Rust is so different and C++ knowledge is useless - I doubt I'd grok it immediately if I didn't understand C++.
Talk about selective quoting…

Read the whole paragraph. Less herbicide if the crop is roundup ready.
Worse, I am pretty sure. That counter is what spawned the Flux architecture. Because React had no solution, mind you.
As the "housing theory of everything" teaches us: it's the housing. If you want people you need habitats for them.

If SCOTUS indeed overturns Roe v. Wade, it would be a great day for human dignity and sanctity of innocent lives in the US.
What does the “SO” in the article refer to?
If your threat model is "someone cloned the database and can now perform unlimited attacks against the stored passwords", then yeah, word + digit protects just about nothing. Assuming a lexicon of 5,000 words, word+digit gives you about 50,000 variations to try. Say that L337 substitutions give you another 10x factor, so now you have 500,000 candidates for what the password might be. Now lets assume that instead of the stupid crap they did in this video, the folks storing your password did everything right and used bcrypt with a work factor of 12. A cracking rig from a couple years ago can run something like 10,000 hashes per second under these conditions, so it might take a whole minute to discover your password. (Remember this is if they did it right, most other password storage schemes would yield your password in a fraction of a second.)

Or, we could look at the two-words-separated-by-punctuation case. Same 5,000 word lexicon, maybe 10 different symbols likely to show up between the words. Call that ~250,000,000 possibilities for your password. That'll take up to a day to crack. A day is a long time to spend on one password, but maybe they don't have anything better to do. Maybe they hate you personally. Add another word, suddenly the hackers need years per password, which is obviously uneconomical.

These guidelines don't come out of nowhere, and there isn't really a tower of experts somewhere giggling at the unwashed idiots around them (well, there might be, but I wasn't invited). This is just one of many problems in computing that live around the intersection of math and psychology, where the "natural" thing to do is (unintuitively) quite dangerous.

> The "problem", in scare quotes, is that these solutions take more thinking and knowing than scourging your fields every year. But since running a farm practically takes a bachelor's degree these days, that's not really a problem of lack of resource in that area. It's more a problem of perspective and focus.

I agree on this point. Every successful farmer I've met has been of notably above average intelligence. However at the family farm scale it's a very fragile business. A small increase in input costs can greatly reduce or eliminate profitability. While I think permaculture, no-till, and other such techniques are great, we have to acknowledge that they require considerably more labor than running a combine harvester over corn or soy fields. The labor shortage is bad enough that even generally immigration skeptical rural areas welcome H-2A migrant workers. And while the best American farm workers are every bit as hard-working as the best Mexican seasonal workers, the average Mexican that comes to the USA in the program is considerably more reliable than the average American these days.
The example I know of, I can't talk about. What happened was likely illegal, but in the grey zone. Individuals profited to the tune of millions individually, and the transaction was in the hundreds of millions. Law enforcement never got involved, so I'll never know what a court might have decided.

However, I'd encourage you to look into hospitals, industry groups like the RIAA, family foundations like the Trump Foundation, and similar organizations. You can find your own examples easily enough.

That's not to mention non-profits hijacked for new purposes (e.g. the current move away from founding values to woke values for a few organizations that's been bugging HN commentators lately).

(And yes, I do know the difference between a 501(c)3, 501(c)6, family foundation, etc).
Well dude, you obviously don't care who sees it, because you have the PC opinion. I'm also pro womens right to choose, but I'm not religious, and I don't believe that I should be forcing my beliefs on highly Christian states that I've never been to if they want to do things differently. But you see, THAT'S not PC, hence why I have no choice but to use a throwaway.

Yes! I'm working through the Design of Computer Programs on Udacity, which he teaches, and it's so enlightening to hear how he thinks through the conceptual framework of a program and see the code he comes up with to implement it. It's also nice to see that his code isn't always super elegant and that he's willing to write something readable and straightforward if it works well.
France’s film industry is a counterpoint. While there are some good films, they are the exception. A lot of real crap gets made in France because they don’t answer to the box office. (I really love the French New Wave, so I’m not a French film hater — but there is a lot of garbage that gets made because of how films get funded and exhibited — i.e. nationalistic film quotas.) The UK on the other hand has some pretty cool films — it seems to be a hybrid of the American privately funded system with some non-profit support.

The Korean film industry is “capitalistic” and they are putting out some really great stuff; though Korean “dramas” are the East-Asian version of novellas — I can live without that. But the people seem to like it.
Prop 47 was a huge problem because it was combined with the fact that non-felony arrests are basically catch-and-release. Comparing it by dollar value to other states is pointless, because other states will charge people for misdemeanors.
There's a series of space strategy/4x/combat sims called X where the latest entry seems to simulate entire economies and individual ships in real time. Dozens of sectors with hundreds of ships and dozens of space stations all humming along at 30-60 FPS.

> can understand why Linus might want to ignore the SF Conservancy in particular here, but banning all lawyers in general is a stupid idea when you're discussing legal documents

It's a perfectly valid approach if your goal is to discuss developer's concerns/priorities/goals for GPL enforcement and not legal tactics to achieve some known set of goals, and particularly if your goal is to avoid a talk at mixed purposes because some people have goals in mind that are not agreed on and are trying to talk tactics while other people are trying to talk goals and no one gets anywhere.
The other good argument is when designing FPCs (flexible PCBs) --- where gentle curves reduce stress concentrations that can cause cracking and delamination.

We’re a growing ed-tech company on a mission to help all students become better writers! NoRedInk is used by 1 in 2 school districts in the US, and students have answered over 5 billion questions on our platform. If you're looking to join a team of friendly people who listen to and learn from each other, discuss past mistakes openly as we adapt to the challenges that come with progress, all while realizing our mission, then you'll be excited to learn more about us.

Our colleagues span six time zones, California to Berlin and points in between, with lively discourse flowing freely across Slack, Zoom, and the office when we're able to be there. Wherever we're working from, we've always delighted in our work to ship new features—beginning with our curriculum and product teams, designers, through to testing by our dedicated quality assurance folks—that put teachers and students first. [1]

Our engineering team [2] takes prides in producing innovative, maintainable software. We use the cutting-edge Elm programming language for all our front-end development. Our back-end is primarily Ruby on Rails by lines of code, though we're actively moving toward Haskell; the majority of our traffic now goes through a Haskell service. We use Amazon AWS for our infrastructure orchestrated primarily using Kubernetes. We write a lot of tests, and use Jenkins for continuous integration. We've also developed and maintain several useful open-source projects. [3] You can read about our experiences with these technologies on our team blog. [4]

We’re looking for engineers who want to work on a mission that makes a difference and who are the type of collaborators that value kindness and open-mindedness.

Should states also be allowed to legislate contraceptives, premarital sex, sex between same sex couples, ...? After all, none of those are guaranteed by the constitution either. What "rights" do you enjoy that aren't expressly guaranteed in the constitution that others might want to let states legislate away from you?
If you want some examples of legal consequences you might not otherwise anticipate:

* Estoppel. Not going after someone when you are made aware of their violations may preclude you from ever being able to go after them.

* Severability. If one clause of your contract is unenforceable, the entire contract may become unenforceable unless you have a clause saying otherwise. (And even then, sometimes that won't apply!).

Taking the audience of HN as a reasonable sample of competent coders, I have seen more than a few commenters give very confident and very incorrect interpretations of the law. I am not so presumptuous to think that I am not in that class, although I do hope to do so more rarely than the average commenter.

And for what it's worth, I don't believe that the exaggerated premise I used was one that requires a lawyer to understand; it was merely an example that was so outrageous it would not be unreasonable for a lawyer to tell you that it was impossible for you to do what you want to do. An example that is not so outrageous is if you want to release something into the public domain--for there are jurisdictions where giving up all of your rights as an author is impossible.
That doesn't mean that quality of life doesn't suffer during the waning periods. Someday it will make a comeback. In the meantime, there's lots of suffering to be had.
Just to add, I have a keyless car and the steering lock is engaged when the car has been switched off, in park and the door has been opened.

But I wonder what would happen if I was travelling and I just pressed the start/stop button, if the car would actually switch off.
Can you please quote the part of that document that you think substantiates your claim? All I found was unrelated information about the "termination of a private foundation". The words 'sale' and 'sell' appear zero times in the whole page.
