> Directing tropey slurs at people is mostly not ok on HN and it's been moderated like that for ages.

I've provided numerous examples of how it isn't restricted to a specific group and is instead aimed at behaviors.

It is quite similar to the word milquetoast. A mild pejorative aimed at a behavior.

Please stop reaching and trying to conflate it with racial or ethnic slurs.
The technology itself is fantastic. Autopilot is the most advanced ADAS system in the world. But the marketing was pure criminal negligence.
This also depends on age, i.e., it sounds like I'd need 1 day on, 2 days off for this type of work ;)

It was good with Kelsey, but after she had to leave and was replaced, it somehow became really bad.
Because it's not entertaining, the supply of it already is overwhelming, and there's no real actionable information that you get. Wow, let me read in detail about the politics behind a deadlock in the U.S. senate. Even when something important does happen like the early days of covid or the war in Ukraine, the best information was always coming fresh from the people experiencing it.
Funny thing is that you can do web development in assembly now: https://webassembly.org/

I feel like we've gone full circle.
Supply and demand dictates that an infinite resource has zero value. And as such, all electronic content has no value

That's the reason we used to pay for newspapers but won't pay for online news (and have no need for newspapers)
It's not $20 per year. It's $20 per year x 50 news sites = $1000 per year.
I soured on the news as I learned even just a little, even in high school. I would read articles about physics, or that had physics as an important element, and observe how terribly wrong the reporter got things. Even giving generous allowance for an untrained person discussing a difficult subject it seemed to me they got too much wrong too often, or took liberties (ending up with terribly inaccurate statements) with an expert's explanation in an attempt to make it digestable for non experts. Why should I trust what they have to say about other subjects?
If this is the kind of thing they will admit to openly imagine what they aren't telling us. That's the real conspiracy goldmine.
It still needs volume to flood to hold the water though and unless we're building up artificially the cheap way to do that is to build fairly wide. All that area is habitat and covering it has an impact. In the end it's probably well worth it so long as we're not destroying rare habitats to do it but it is still destruction that has to be considered and weighed.
Was a joy to use on a side-project I was working on. Worked great with Svelte. Deploying a local dev server is easy too.
These account bans should be handled by small claims courts. Plain and simple.
If you are not aware of the Dutch-American Friendship Treaty, note that it makes it pretty straightforward for an American to get a visa in the Netherlands:

But "our product will be able to do X" followed later by "and here's our great product!" can be understandably confusing for consumers, even if you don't technically say "our product can currently do X".

I recommend checking out "Stop reading the news" by Rolf Dobelli.
Yes, 1994 and 1996 [0] were both horrible years for bad "telecomm" policy. I remember debating this in my "Regulations" class in the early 2000s and how, even by then, we could see the potential longer term damages emerging. I think it also played a role in influencing the markets (with respect to tech companies) to think how they do (continuous growth / continuous significant increase in QoQ profits). The late 80s and early 90s were a wild ride of ignorance in policy making. The Clipper Chip, interesting takes on crypto export control all the way through the advent of the DMCA.

Interesting times with many unfortunate decisions.

Looking briefly through the "habeas corpus" stuff, it looks like the way it technically works is this:

- Police arrest you

- You can request a Writ of Habeas Corpus

- The judge then issues the Writ

- The police either have to accuse you of a crime or let you go.

You could do the same thing wrt the stolen goods:

- Police sieze contraband

- Owner requests Writ of Habeas Stuffus

- etc

In the case of an owner in another country and is pretty sure they'll get arrested if they show up to claim their stuff, then they'll choose to leave the stuff where it is rather than apply for a writ. After a year, the police could consider it forfeit by default.
We had a variant of this discussion a while back, except it was about *which* sites have paywalls and which are free:

https://www.currentaffairs.org/2020/08/the-truth-is-paywalle...

It's definitely a longform excellent (free!) article about how good content is paywalled, but the propaganda/lies are free.

-------------Excerpt-----------

But let us also notice something: the New York Times, the New Yorker, the Washington Post, the New Republic, New York, Harper’s, the New York Review of Books, the Financial Times, and the London Times all have paywalls. Breitbart, Fox News, the Daily Wire, the Federalist, the Washington Examiner, InfoWars: free! You want “Portland Protesters Burn Bibles, American Flags In The Streets,” “The Moral Case Against Mask Mandates And Other COVID Restrictions,” or an article suggesting the National Institutes of Health has admitted 5G phones cause coronavirus—they’re yours. You want the detailed Times reports on neo-Nazis infiltrating German institutions, the reasons contact tracing is failing in U.S. states, or the Trump administration’s undercutting of the USPS’s effectiveness—well, if you’ve clicked around the website a bit you’ll run straight into the paywall. This doesn’t mean the paywall shouldn’t be there. But it does mean that it costs time and money to access a lot of true and important information, while a lot of bullshit is completely free.
If you read what actually happened you can see that all proper internal procedures were followed. Corruption heavily implies that something that exists for other people is (temporarily) removed, or some requirement is waived as a result of compensation. That is not what happened.
kodah was saying we should try something

>I'd encourage anything at this point.

fennecfoxen was advocating that it isnt worth trying something

>You want meaningful reform on anything within 500 miles of this topic from the legislature? Good luck.

The goalposts were clearly moved from if even attempting reform is a waste of time, to having a workable solution
Nah, we should all assume that of any and all medical interventions are unsafe and ineffective based on individual second-hand anecdotes we read in the comment sections of websites.
/Aside, I wonder how the Twitter blue check black market (~$10k) works from an 'organizational' perspective.
If others are interested, Mito does not work in vscode or Google Collab. Only classic Jupyter Notebooks and Jupyter Labs are supported currently [1].

It's also for the benefit of hikers, sightseers and whoever else needs places that aren't served by the IC/EC/ICE network. I have a BahnCard 50 (a subscription that halves the price of each trip) and yet it would have saved me over 100€ last summer. Note that some of the local bus associations aren't particularly cheap; it's not just the trains.

My main worry is whether they'll have the resources to put up with the increased demand. Guess I'll see soon...
This is another big thing people forget - often if you "wanted to know what happened" you bought the latest newspaper. I still remember spending hours reading the details on the Loma Prieta earthquake in the paper - printed on green paper with the amazing "line graphic" art showing how and why the viaduct collapsed, etc.

Now if you're interested in something that is "breaking" you can find live footage and even expert discussion, for free, on the internet.
SimplySecure: Building secure tools for vulnerable populations
If you’re not only doing it for getting from A to B but also for the journey and have time, this can be a great deal.

Even if you really want to get to B, it’s more adventurous and cheaper than taking a direct train.

I can easily see teenagers or pensioners use this to backpack through Germany for a month. Even if you don’t know whether you’ll like it, it’s cheap enough to give it a try.
2 hourflight but you have to get to the airport early. Then you have to go from charles de gaulle to the city center. It's really much more than 2 hours. Also, in my opinion, it's a lot more stress. I'd prefer to hop on a train from city-center Rome and get dropped off in city-center Paris. Way easier. Also, trains have bar cars. Those are fun. Midnight Trains: sign me up!
You're talking about hard true/false, in which you are correct. The person you're replying to is talking about "Truthy"/"Falsy", which is different than the hard true/false you're talking about.
The patient should have a right to be an early adopter if he wants to. Besides, drugs will never leave alpha status if we never let them flow on the market. Although yes obviously a gradually titrated A/B testing scheme would be much more reasonable than the current illegal/legal shift. Moreover cf my other comments, anonymised statistics are needed.

I pay for The Economist. I used to enjoy getting one well edited update per week that was not full of ads. But now that I don't read the paper version, I have to use a website full of ads and trackers.

I will happily pay for a news product that serves the reader and has no advertising. This is a request for a startup!
Aha... Here's one.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPpFWxKPOyQ
I forgot the ending of those ads... always a variation on... 'Roads that run through America... to a place.. we call home."
I mean, the news is essentially corporate and political propaganda. If anyone should be paying for it, it's the corporations and political parties. We readers are the product, not the customer.
We've banned car traffic at certain times and places in New York, mostly since the pandemic, and it's remarkable how much quieter those streets became.
UK nuclear power stations’ decommissioning cost soars to £23.5bn
Why are you trying to conflate the two? Autopilot != FSD
To me this sounds like people in most of the world are getting needlessly poisoned with microplastics when a technological solution exists. Why do I doubt there is going to be a successful non-profit helping build good landfills?
Not just fedora or red hat flavors, it works great on most distros. Unified package management and updates, network and observability, podman and kvm… rocks, highly recommended
Exactly. And from a systems standpoint, if we're blaming the autopilot we should also consider how much blame should be allocated to the traffic engineer that clubbed a 65MPH California freeway directly into a 45MPH local business street with no traffic-calming measures or other mechanism to signal to a sleepy human brain that the rules of the road had changed besides a lone speed limit sign and a "Good luck sport!" attitude. It'd be interesting to pull history on that first stoplight and see how many accidents have occurred there in the past five years.

(It turns out that's possible. California provides a GIS data digest of fatal accidents maintained by UC Berkeley. Data collection ends at 2021, but the 2016-2021 data set shows 22 crashes coming up on that intersection. https://tims.berkeley.edu/tools/gismap/).

Or we could limit the assignation of blame to the individual who is solely responsible for controlling his multi-ton high-speed vehicle at all times when operating in public thoroughfares.
How on earth is this able to stand? It’s absurd. Have challenges made it to the Supreme Court and lost?
Yes! If you watch more than 5 physics docs that run on TV, you quickly get tired of hearing "Black holes are so massive that not even light can escape it!".
1) well 1000 dollar per hour seems like a non-reasonable price.

2) one should have a legal right to command a MRI scan without paid analysis.
How much of it is actually news?

The way I see it, (90%?)most of it is propaganda, rage baiting and interest pushing.
That is not something I want to spend money on.
The physical paper had advantages though - if you were interested in one or two things (say sports and comics) you'd still see the headlines and other content, which meant that the advertisers were willing to spend.

The internet really lets you 'focus' on a particular article/video and ignore basically everything else.
Wow, that interview is a train wreck.
State machines in C work great when you don’t want a preemptive RTOS.

I did a embedded project on 8051 like that, we had the legacy code 100% in asm and we moved to C. In the end I think we had about 10-20 lines of asm and everything else in C.

You are right switching cpu and thus all the peripheral is major headache, not something to take lightly.
This is a good point. That's pretty much what is happening. Any result you click prompts you to use the app after a few seconds with the only way to get around it being to "use desktop" which most people probably don't know.
This is why sex work should be mainstreamed and laws created to protect workers in the industry, including prostitution.
Numberphile fills the void.
It’s “corruption” by any credible meaning of the word. If the story is true then it’s a catastrophe for Meta.
I think it's even simpler than this. People aren't willing to pay for news because google/facebook have made it trivial to find free copy cat news articles. Why pay for something that is free?
Its very nice that they made all those articles available. But it is definitely not 50 years of published records made Open Access. OA mirrors FOSS software in some ways and the users need many of the same freedoms. Just making them available to read with the same old copyright still attach is not enough.

The Budapest Declaration from 2002 that defined OA for the first time states it very clearly:

"By “open access” to this literature, we mean its free availability on the public internet, permitting any users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of these articles, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself."

Not hate, just not a system used very much here. Most people with a credit card have one for online purchases (I do), but those are a minority. Even that is no longer really needed with big stores like Steam and Amazon (.de and .nl) accepting the local IDEAL standard for banking transfers.

Paying with a credit card in shops? That's just not done excepting American tourists, same as in a number of European countries. It's contactless debit cards mostly. Building a credit rating by using a credit card is not part of the system.
this was hosted under the auspices of the library's website - but I bet now'd be a great time to revisit this idea ... and, as much as HN tends to hate them, it could be interesting to *offer* artists chances to sell their work digitally, via NFT, or as prints

hmmm... I may need to go build this thing now :)
put it in an .env file and add the .env file to .gitignore?
I've spent a stupid amount of brain time on this. Pi-zero's with a couple microphones, cameras, 18650s and a solar cell in a super rugged sealed ABS belt-case. Strapped to telephone poles, capturing make/model/license-plate of anything that exceeds X decibels for Y minutes. Posting a top 10 offenders automatically to the city website. Autogenerating sound-map-reports to show what the 95th% locations and causes are to target effective enforcement of EXISTING laws.

Sure I see the dystopic surveillance society part, but technically we already have that. Wouldn't it be nice to have quality of life benefits from it instead of just military and marketing uses.

I want QoL SLOs.
I think for me, the problem is that each producer only has some "news" that is of interest to me. I might see one really good NYT article per month and something else in the New Yorker, Guardian etc. If I pay for a subscription then I am committed to reading more of it, even if not interesting, otherwise I might as well just dip into lots of sites like I do.

TBH even some trade magazines are just as tedious even though they cover my interests in theory.

I think someone mentioned a few years back about the need for good news aggregation. You pay, e.g. $20/month for access to lots of articles and the aggregator takes a small cut and then pays the publishes of the best articles. That should at least allow the big publishers to stop producing garbage since no-one will want to read it and also push them to work out what articles have good value.

The obvious political slant of some is also another issue but I don't have time to discuss that now...

unlikely. Would be easy to disprove.
I think a spotify model would make the clickbait problem even worse. I'm unlikely to directly pay for a clickbaity news source, but I may well click on their articles.
Plus endless upsales and newsletters you can't unsubscribe. They're still stuck in the 90s offline world in this respect. WSJ is next — Wine clubs and the likes.
My point was, the powers that be will make any excuse so long as it increases state power.
Can you please elaborate, what’s wrong and what do I need to do when building from source?
Since we've accepted to let healthcare be a business, we can only blame the logical consequence of that system, health professionals are running a business, they will scare off the siblings son and grand kids of a senile elderly if they can bank 20k for some unnecessary surgery.

I imagine someone will be jumping on the occasion to point out that not all car dealers are crooks, but the rising number of anecdotes is concerning.
This is a really good initiative! I wish the Canadian government would encourage more efficient transport instead of cars.

London to Venice is only one night on the train. Although a lot of Americans would seem to disagree, there is really no need to shower every single day...

The carriages are more of an old-world luxury experience: the cabin that my spouse and I stayed in had incredibly intricate, hand-inlayed wood and lacquer decoration, for example. If you're expecting a shower and a high-def LCD television etc. then no, that is not what you're getting.

The service, which is the item that really is the distinguishing factor in luxury travel, was superior. The one part that was a let-down on the journey is that you have to switch to a coach (admittedly a nice one) for the actual crossing of the English Channel via the tunnel.
I personally use it as my reddit replacement ;)
But I agree.
There is a lot of "work-to-rule" in the NYPD; when they resent the mayor or the people of the city, even things like murder clearance rates plummet, much less crimes like these.
In Germany? I don't think that's right.
But Tesla clearly says “The person in the driver's seat is only there for legal reasons.” So it should be obvious to the driver that in court, they are on their own.

That's complicated:

* Buses (outside London): yes. Private and (mostly) deregulated.

* Buses (inside London): kinda. Private, but heavily regulated (fares, routes, everything)

* Trains (outside London): both. The infrastructure is now public, after the company it was sold to became insolvent and got essentially renationalised by stealth. The companies running the trains are mostly heavily regulated private (some fares, routes, and other things are fixed by their franchise contracts, some fares are flexible). A few companies are 'open access' (private without franchise) and only their routes/timetables are fixed, they can do their own thing with fares and rolling stock. A few places (such as long-distance trains on the East Coast mainline) are run by a subsidiary of the state directly.

* Trains (inside London, including the Tube): Infrastructure also public (some run by Network Rail, the national organisation, some by Transport for London). Some services (e.g. the Tube) run directly by TfL, some franchised as nationally.

* [Edit: Eurostar runs (lightly regulated) services to France and Belgium via the Channel Tunnel and sets its own fares]

The main difference from other countries (except for the insane web of contracts and inter-organisational dependencies) is that the policy of the UK Government is to put the cost of public transport as much as possible on its users rather than subsidising from general taxation. We've had above-inflation rises in the regulated fares nearly every year since privatisation in 1994, for example.
Humm… I knew a few people that managed to destroy their life by taking amphetamines. Sometimes there is a reason for some substances to be controlled.
But of course ultimately it's up to you and each case is a case. I just wanted to offer some deterrent because I know anecdotal reports on the internet tend to be quite positive since the people that wrote them probably just started.
I fully expect to be asked about my CV or experience in an interview, I do not find that or interviews in general to be confrontational. Or even if there was a programming assignment I had to submit, reviewing that stuff is normal. What I find weird is to fill out what is effectively an GTKY interview over text, then have someone pull out it out during an in-person interview to discuss.

Also even though I usually don't feel that way, it is completely ok for a candidate to feel confronted or cornered in an interview and not at all odd.
YOU HAVE ADHD! Sorry for the caps. But seriously, you have adhd, go find a specialist psychiatrist.
So, I used to do this for a living. The main reasons assembler worked better were:

- The compiler had to make conservative assumptions. Less true now you have things like restrict pointers

- The compiler didn't know how to do SIMD. Now it can with intrinsics.

- The compiler didn't know how to do the necessary transforms to make use of in-order cores. out-of-order makes the cpu do this itself, and is making its way down to smaller processors.
Paying for access to high-quality independent content is one thing, paying for access to advertiser-centric state/corporate propaganda is quite another.

The vast majority of news outlets fall into the latter category. They'll give you 'free' content because they're not really in business to make money, they're more like curated infomercial services aimed at feeding stage-managed narratives to their readers/watchers on behalf of other organizations and institutions.

Why would anyone pay to consume a propaganda stream that is provided for free?

Some people might pay for intelligence reports specific to their own business interests, but that's probably a pretty small market.
All values / types in Elixir apart from nil and false are truthy, like Clojure and Ruby.

Pattern matching in Elixir is so powerful, why would you even bother?
Not in Germany. In Germany, there needs to be direct damage by the suing party done to the suing party; and criminal cases are entirely public prosecutor-driven.
Where on the spectrum are you?
Did I miss any requirement about this having to be O(1)?

The solutions in the article certainly aren’t, with their for and while loops.

I think that’s moving the goalposts.
