I dont think sharing URLs with state is that relevant anymore. If I want to share something I am looking at that has state dependencies, I take a screenshot. I dont, or ever, expected the ability of a URL to take someone anywhere but the home page or top level sub-directory

If I refresh the page and my state is lost, that is expected behavior to me.

If I do not like the state of the page, I can refresh the page and start over.

It is frustrating when I refresh the page and literally nothing happens, and now I need to go into the URL and delete a bunch of shit in order to refresh my state.

It is WAY more important to me to be able to quickly build any state from scratch. I do not ever want to be 10 minutes into building some specific state on your website. I do not care how well you handle it because I dont trust it to persist anyway. I do not want to trust it to persist.

Focus your energy on improving the navigation of your site or build state into the site itself. Let me save search criteria terms into a named list associated with my account if it's important. I want to be dependent on the URL for as little as possible, even indirectly.
I wore an analog watch for about 15 years and never hit the point where it was easier for me to read than a digital display.

Almost all of the studies blinded the participants in the outcome assessment. That avoids bias when asking patients about their pain.

It's difficult to imagine how you would blind the acupuncturists performing the treatment. I suppose you could have one acupuncturist mark the needle location and another blinded one stick the needle in. But a skilled acupuncturist would probably be unblinded by their own knowledge of where it makes sense for the needle to go. So there is definitely risk of performance bias, but they're sticking needles into patients at predefined points - I don't think it's a very large risk.
The Americanized one is much cooler to me. I would have gone for that as a kid.

The Japanese one is washed out and the art kinda looks amateur and crayola. I assumed that was the one you were complaining about because it minimizes the demon-looking Blanka and just looks boring.

Kinda like how my mom (US) wouldn't buy me Warcraft: Orcs vs Humans because the large green orc on the cover looked like a demon, and you just couldn't be doing that in the 90s with all the stories of children worshipping Satan coming out on the Oprah Winfrey Show.
Ex-gf of mine did HEMA (https://www.hemaalliance.com/) for a bit. Gear isn't cheap, but it seemed fairly serious and welcomed all skill levels.
Good questions! You are correct that it depends. We do have indexes to help with point queries, but they are not going to be quite as fast as SQLite because DuckDB stores data in a columnar format. (Soon they will be persistent - see comments above!) That columnar format is really great for scanning many items, but not optimal for grabbing all of a single row.

With DuckDB, bulk inserts are your friend and are actually super fast.

Definitely let us know what you find! Just open up a discussion on Github if you'd like to share what you find out: https://github.com/duckdb/duckdb/discussions
I'm sorry but what a weak reasoning. Why do eastern european countries join NATO, why does Finland joint? Because they want to raze the middle east and have xenophobia with Russians?

No, they join NATO because it provides security against Russia, a neighbour they fear. And they have plenty of reasons for such fear.

The MQTT spec itself[2] is very approachable, which made this undertaking easier still.

Indeed. I've found writing an MQTT client is a good tutorial project when learning a new language.
We agree that intent isn't likely to matter for what will happen to you that day. No one is arguing otherwise.

It does appear to matter in the law, and the day you show up in court (if you're foolish/stubborn enough to test it).
The term 'dark pattern' wrt to UX is meant to signal that the practice is morally dubious. In an app with a 'dark pattern', the designer uses affordances in the UI to nudge the user into taking action against their best interest (in favor of the company/product).

In this case this was just shitty handling of the zoom or something app-browser related - it doesn't seem to be trying to trick you into anything.

What does 'your country ' whichever that is, and their abusive way of way of handling business have to do with Germany's way of doing business and their corrupt politicians?

The US is number one in the world for top companies, does that automatically make them the best example for policies on everything and the best politicians?

I just don't understand where you were going with this off topic rant.

From what I hear, a lot of pensions, institutions and major banks are already invested in btc. I think it's possible that it helped sustain the elevated prices over the past year. The problem, I think, is that once demand slows the price starts to dive.

How long will these professional investors wait around for a return while prices approach half what they paid?
TFA was written by someone speculating based on some half-remembered trivia and their own inferences, and is not based on solid evidence about how people actually calculated (notice the lack of references). There is limited direct evidence of calculations per se still available today, but plenty of indirect evidence that people did not ever write down modern-style “arithmetic” using Roman numerals, but instead did calculation with tokens on some kind of counting board, or else calculated on their fingers.

> Romans didn't use subtractive shorthand notation

Not always as a strict rule as became a common standard centuries later, but there are numerous examples of this kind of subtractive notation from ancient times. Wikipedia mentions “For example, on the numbered gates to the Colosseum, IIII is systematically used instead of IV, but subtractive notation is used for XL; consequently, gate 44 is labelled XLIIII”

Why Not Just Take the Microchips? Pressures Against the Triangular Silicon Trade
1984 is not important because it's broadly anti-government. I think calling it anti-government is a mischaracterization, because it describes a very unhealthy and specific kind of government: one that wields its might to manage the minutia of everyone's lives as it sees fit, putting its own survival above their well-being. I just want to be clear that opposing authoritarian or totalitarian government is not opposition to government generally.
Once a system has been implemented to spy on all messages for one purpose it is relatively trivial to extend it for other purposes. The potential for abuse is limitless, but just one example would be the group in power spying on dissenters in order to find and neutralize them. This isn't a hypothetical outcome, many governments without strong privacy rights are doing exactly this right now.
> western politicians (mostly US) keep making sure that they do not get the big guns

"US"? Must be a typo for "Germany".
Sure, but if I don't know what they're changing it's hard to know if I want to cancel or not.
It's nowhere near these volumes, but at work we recently experienced traffic spikes like 35-fold in the span of 30 seconds for a few minutes, then faded regularly for a few hours. Our scaling was too slow to be of any use for such pattern. There are legitimate needs for things that scale as fast as possible.
Or, for the same reason, law enforcement switches methodologies from proper, normal investigation to just scanning, since "its so easy!", but the software fails to recognize dark skinned children, and as a result all law enforcement efforts end up helping only lighter skinned victims
> Putin can de-escalate this anytime

I wish I believed that. His credibility depends entirely on his ability to threaten (to poison his opponents, to flatten cities). He's a strong man, and he can't afford to be seen to back down.

Here's the only off-ramp I can see working:

"Mr. Putin, you can keep your yachts and your offshore wealth; you won't be pursued for warcrimes. But you must exile yourself from Russia, and never darken the world stage again."

I don't think Putin would accept that deal; he'd rather go down with his ship. He thinks he's Peter The Great.
> disavowing responsibility.

Look, if someone comes to my house claiming to be raising money for charity and I givethem money, the following statements can all be simultaneously true:

1. I should take responsibility for checking that they represent a genuine charity;

2. If they are a genuine charity, I should take responsibility for checking that most of my gift will go towards the recipients of the charity and not to operating the charity itself;

3. They should take responsibility for being truthful about who they represent and where the money is going.

Responsibility isn't a zero-sum game. We can encourage everyone to have more financial literacy and awareness of scams and frauds while simultaneously holding grifters responsible for their crimes.

I'm not taking either position here, I'm taking both positions. See also "the difference between advice for individuals and codes of conduct for communities."

Our personal advice is to protect yourself from fraud. Our society's code of conduct is, "don't commit fraud."
I disagree. You can do software very simply, it's in an environment of excess that teams tend to over-complicate software and software deployment into complex monsters that are expensive to maintain. Small business software problems often lack the scale and public facing nature that causes problems for software infrastructure and increases it's complexity.

I speak from experience in executing some of these kinds of software projects, as I live in a market not influenced by the SV bubble. Our market has a bunch of bootstrapped software businesses too, because the economics of it are more favorable to that kind of enterprise and you're not competing with 200k+ wages. I'm talking about Australia as well, an expensive first world country.
> solve the problem of child trafficking and this would actually help them do that.

How would the proposed legislation help him do that? Human trafficking existed before the invention of encryption.
Growing up in GA, the thunderstorms are something to behold. I remember in the 90s when I was a kid experiencing a clap of lightning so strong that it knocked all the nicknacks and candles off the fireplace hearth (?). It was nuts.
I can't speak for Canada, but in the US if a court issues a search warrant for data stored on one of your devices you are obligated to take whatever steps are necessary to turn over the data, including decrypting the data if applicable. This power is provided to the government by the 4th Amendment. What you are likely referring to is the 5th Amendment right that protects a person from being compelled to testify against themselves, which protects a person from being compelled to turn over a password if doing so would incriminate them, but this is only applicable in circumstances where turning over the password would incriminate you, not where the decryption of the data would incriminate you. This is applicable only in circumstances where it is uncertain whether you have access to the device in question, since compelling you to produce the password amounts to compelling you to admit that it is your device. Once a court is satisfied that it is beyond doubt that the device is yours and you know the password, a judge is free to compel you to provide the password.

There's a further consideration of whether you can refuse if the literal string of the password itself would incriminate you, but I don't believe that has been conclusively litigated.
The RT website and live stream are sill available to at least me in the UK.
The Schwarzschild radius of a 4M solar mass black hole like Sagittarius A* is only (lol) about 7M km. Most of the MOND theories I've seen are about fall off curves at very large distances (ie. galatic scales) being more complex than GR suggests, so I'm not sure this is really proof either way. (And I say this as not a MOND adherent).

I don't want to sound too cynical, but, basically, yes. I mean, I suppose if you look at it objectively, it is not a bad business model. How can you possibly oppose protecting children? Why, you must be one of 'them'.. and as a bonus: sufficiently powerful people will pay just to make sure they have either blackmail material or control over the process to protect themselves.
that is definitely not how it works in all systems

a future government should be able to roll back legislation as easily as the past government implemented it, otherwise the process fundamentally undemocratic

this is true for the UK

constitutions that require super-majorities to change are fundamentally undemocratic

the US founding fathers considered this to be a feature to prevent mob rule... they were probably right here

but it's really quite hard to argue that elevating the principles of dead slave owners 200 years ago (extreme example) over those of voters alive today is democratic
Correct, I rarely bother to start debates on topics I know will be controversial here any more. This one being an exception I now slightly regret. HN used to be able to debate without emotion but in the past few years it's more or less disappeared.

I am still open to having my mind changed but we rarely get far enough before the downvote brigade find these threads.
Actual title:

The assumption of negative intent says a lot more about Musk's own character and beliefs than any useful or accurate generalization about Americans.

The way I see it, if they didn't want people to look through the fence, then they should replace the fence with something that can't be looked through. Change it to a solid fence type, put up a wall, or even just put inserts through the chainlink to block the view.
> With this mindset why would school staff not err on the side of caution and ask an unknown person to move along?

Because instilling this type of paranoia in children is likely to cause more harm to the mental health of their generation (in total), than those very few bad events that this behavior stops?

Also, it seems to me that this has been going on for a generation already, as more and more young adults are now hyper-fragile, calling for authoritarian responses to anything that scares them. The end result may very well be that those children will place a "strong leader" in power when they grow up, someone like Putin or Chavez.
Sadly, from personal experience I can tell you that the expectation of receivables cannot be used to buy groceries or pay rent.
I feel like I'm having a deja-vu. I remember having a similar discussion in the past and it turns out it happened exactly one year ago when Flutter 2 was released: https://news.ycombinator.com/context?id=26336657

Every framework has bugs and feature requests that are fighting for resources. And the ones affecting you _always_ seem more important than the ones that don't.

That being said, the fact that memory leaks in widely used components (e.g.: `<ion-img>` [1]) go mostly unnoticed both by Ionic developers and by the community [2] just doesn't give me confidence in Ionic being a framework used to build quality apps.

[1] - https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-framework/issues/19242#issuecomment-556182556
[2] - the issue linked above has 5 upvotes in 3 years and no one even bothered to report a separate issue for the memory leak in `<ion-img />`, which seems even more serious and the developers have been made aware of it
You asked how a bias in AI on a theoretical model, that doesn't yet exist, might present.

This is an example of how we know it may present, based on our understanding of how previous models present, in exceeding regularity.

It's good to hear that persistent indexes are coming soon. I saw it was on the roadmap but didn't know how far out this feature was. Do you have an idea when that release could be out?

BTW Do you have some kind of code/docs one can take a look at regarding the index structure? I'm a part-time data structure nerd :)

Reminds me very much of the early days of Japanese import cars, where you'd hear the talking point both from Japanese spokespeople and reporters, "Japan is great at copying western products".

Nobody says that today, do they?

But these concept cares are really interesting! I see a lot of cars where at first glance I clock the car as a BMW M1, or a De Tomaso Pantera. Stick a huge wing on the Daihatsu TA-X80, and you could pass it off as a cheap Zonda.
To be fair, there is no partisan issues in the US over helping Ukraine either. People unite against a common enemy -- it's like that old wisdom, the worst thing to happen to the US was winning the cold war.
Again, it's a matter of resources. Not everyone can travel to US and have the money to open a bank account there. Anyway to "easily" convert from pesos to US dollars (which you have to use some financial instruments which aren't trivial for the average citizen) you need to justify all your earnings which not everyone can do because people try to avoid taxes as much as possible.

For instance, most devs I know that work remote jobs for companies abroad, they ask for them to pay in crypto because if you try to get paid in the legal way you get 50% less off the bat in the forceful conversion from usd to pesos and then you get an additional 20-30% less due to taxes
That may be so, but if the pandemic was caused by a lab leak, we should have seen a concentration of infections surrounding the WIV, and at least on that side of the river. But instead, we see a concentration of the initial infections surrounding the wet market on the other side of the river. So the lab leak hypothesis simply does not fit the evidence.
surprised not much mention of Elastic Beanstalk here - it has nearly an identical dev experience to Heroku. I moved past using it years ago but if I was looking for exactly that experience I'd probably go with it or if I was using Elixir likely I'd use fly.io because they seem to have it down pat for elixir/phoenix projects the way heroku did for ruby
Tho, some of that "defense" were invasions on false pretense. What americans do in Ukraine is great and they deserve all the credit. But, some of past wars were less great.

USB-C is simply a form factor for a port, one which has only advantages compared to MicroUSB.

Your observation is valid in that USB-C frequently comes with a high power draw for charging batteries. When one isn't using a small solar panel, it's generally better to charge as fast as is compatible with battery health, so that's no bad thing.

But a Kindle which was aftermarket modified to use USB-C would have the same power requirements, just with a durable and bidirectional port. I encourage anyone making a device now to use USB-C, Micro doesn't have advantages and should be deprecated. We'll be stuck with it for a decade+ as it is, we should strive not to prolong the frustration.
State and local governments explicitly cannot issue their own currency. This was included in the constitution in article 1 section 10[1] after the US states dealt with all the issues of multiple state issues currencies that occurred during the short lived time under the Articles of Confederation.

> It only gets weapons, and western politicians (mostly US) keep making sure that they do not get the big guns (regarding e.g. airplanes).

US has directly supplied them with airplanes of the same type they use (not operational as is, but enabling them to return 20 of their existing aircraft to service through parts.)
Those kinds of laws are typically very vague.

This is New York's, for example:

> 1. He or she knowingly acts in a manner likely to be injurious to the
physical, mental or moral welfare of a child less than seventeen years
old or directs or authorizes such child to engage in an occupation
involving a substantial risk of danger to his or her life or health; or

Whether something is "likely to be injurious to the physical, mental or moral welfare of a child" is fairly subjective, since it's a balance of odds.
Obviously you are unaware of basic history of how NATO was created to halt the communist/Soviet "threat". Please, look up "History of NATO" on Wikipedia.

So, for NATO there _was_ a _defined threat_ it sought to protect against. In general, all alliances are made against perceived present or future threats, if you are _actually_ aware of an alliance being made with no external threat in mind, please let me know.

> Maybe the problem is that communities are weak. Imagine saying "We don't need stronger restrictions. I am OK if my kid is kidnapped as a result because the community will be stronger for it overall due to free range kids etc." You really need to care about your community to do that.

I think that's partly correct. I think the problem is due to weakened communities, but I don't think anyone, ever will think "I am OK if my kid is kidnapped b/c free range kids are good." If the community was stronger, people with more likely think things like "I am OK with my kind being free range b/c I trust the community not to kidnap and abuse them."
I find it much easier to judge how urgent it is to finish given the information that it's 9:54 than by looking at an analog clock. I wore an analog watch from age ~5-20 out of stubbornness and never got to the point where it conveyed useful information to me without actively stopping to think.
