> And what do you know, just in time for them to gain unopposable, unaccountable ability to lock down the entire world whenever they want

Who benefits from 'lockdowns'? The economy slows down, workers stop working and lining up powerful people's pockets. Tourism plummets, supply chains gets disrupted. It's not profitable. Even a war brings profits. Lockdowns don't.

Mind you, most countries didn't experience any lockdowns at all.

Not every organization is conspiring against you. If anything, the media was regularly pushing to reopen business even as hospitals struggle.
According to the article from DI, they are not.
These companies are just twenty years behind the times. It’s why they lost the supercomputing market to NVidia. The FPGA vendors are also going to lose the DSP market to NVidia now, except for areas with extremely hard realtime requirements.
Part of it I think is Uranium is easy to get economically right now, and has a pretty limited set of potential buyers (and the set isn’t growing very quickly).

Most Uranium mines (15000 worked claims in the Midwest in particular) no one even bothers with.
Cool or not, if one of the 5 major mines decides to cut prices, you’d better be awfully efficient right now.

A proposal cited by the EJIL article, previously rejected during a 10-year revision process for IHR:

> The proposal to grant WHO – and the US Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) which is closely associated with WHO due to its technical skills in epidemiological investigations – the right to carry out on-site assessments/send expert teams that the state party in question cannot easily reject, should be carefully analysed also in light of similar US proposals made in 2004 during the then thorough revision process of the IHR (lasting from 1995-2005). At the time, some WHO regions rejected the proposal as they suspected a US’ intention behind them to gain access to biodefence research facilities around the world, thus fearing espionage. This appeared against the background of the Iraq war which started in 2003 under the pretext of the existence of Iraqi bioweapons that UN investigators had been unable to find.

I don't "support" anything the CCP does. I think that whole mode and form of government is destined to fail due to their fundamental denial of God. But that's a whole different kettle of fish, eh?

> One quality year of life of grandma vs. the economic opportunity of a new grad. It’s not easy at all. It is easy to claim that death outweighs all else and hide behind naive humanism

It's very easy for me: my mother is in the most-at-risk category. When her time comes I want it to be peaceful and painless, hopefully in her sleep. I do not want her to lungs to dissolve and drown her.

The "economic opportunity" can go screw. Don't sacrifice my mom for that person's extra money. There are over a half dozen empty apartments next to our house, and dozens of families living in RV's a few blocks away. I make six figures and can't afford a to buy a home. You want me to risk my mom for someone else's "economic opportunity"? And you think I'm naive?
All they did was quote her and say it was ironic since fiat currencies are also not backed by hard assets. I think you are having an over reaction and hallucinating things to be upset about.

So, just to make sure I understand you correctly, you wouldn't consider it a violation of bodily autonomy if the state governments simply put in place legislation that effectively forced people out of a job if they wanted an abortion?

Like, if they ruled tomorrow that abortion until birth is legal, but the mother and father must spend a week attending 8 hours of daily counseling before being allowed to abort and then must spend a month after to mentally recover (thus effectively making them unable to work for that period), wouldn't you consider that to be effectively the same as banning abortion?

I would consider it to be equivalent, as making something unreasonably difficult to do is effectively the same as a ban, particularly for more economically vulnerable people, after all, even if abortion were banned in the entire US, for the rich it just means taking time off to go to another country and having a 'miscarriage' before coming back, while for the poor it means resorting to more dangerous methods.
The problem here is that the main audience impacted by these "permissions prompts" has zero idea whether what the site is requesting makes any sense.

You - as a developer - probably know that an image editing site might need this permission and other sites don't. The average user has zero (ZERO) clue.

They don't know, they don't really care. Instead they arbitrarily accept or deny based on how scary the popup text is, or how annoying it becomes, or how much they depend on the site.

Which is pretty terrible from all perspectives

- Users get prompts that require decisions that they don't have the knowledge or context for.

- Valid sites & businesses lose traffic because some users are scared away by scary sounding prompts that they don't understand.

- Malicious sites still get a broad swath of data on users who don't give a rats ass about the prompts and have been conditions to just always hit yes.

I think this style of implementation is basically always indicative of a failure.

> So, I'm an anti-abortion pro-choicer? Kinda weird I suppose. Falling between two camps isn't popular these days.

That’s what “pro-choice” means. They’re not “pro-abortion”, at least officially.

US liberals are good at avoiding abortions ahead of time because they have less premarital sex. The conservative no-sex messaging doesn’t work as well because it relies on telling teens that abstinence is the cool minority thing to do, but once you convert the whole school, it’s hard to believe that.

I do not know ethics, nor any branch of philosophy (as my below comments show, the issue I could discuss was the "law" part). However, what I have never understood is how does the a priori science of ethics map onto real life, where morality is borne out of emotions and instinctual human social conditioning. I think it's rather obvious from observing young humans that they do not discover ethics from first principles, but some form of it is practically branded into their brain. They will recognize when somebody gets more than their fair share, and will become mad at this, for example. This is very different from mathematics in my mind.
To the author: what are your results from the HN “Who wants to be hired?” threads?

Also, have you tried working with external (not for a specific company) recruiters? It’s free for you, and when one doesn’t produce results you can easily try another.

Finally, have you tried reaching out to maintainers of commercially-popular open-source projects? They might know of related jobs at the companies that are the chief sponsors of those packages.
I remember. Homosexuality was still largely taboo and sex was definitely not something mentioned on the news, until some tipping point where it became normalized. People tend to remember the after, not the before for this specific transition.
This is exactly right. It is definitely possible that the email protocol could be as open as what I'm describing, but that has not functionally been my experience anywhere.

This was an interesting development:

Health officials are investigating whether a number of monkeypox cases in the UK were sexually transmitted – in what one expert fears could be the first recorded instances of their kind.

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has detected seven monkeypox cases in total, all of which were diagnosed between 6 and 15 May. Four new ones were confirmed last week. Three of the new cases are in London and one linked case is in the north east of England. All four sufferers are men who identify as gay, bisexual or as men who have sex with men (MSM).

If you do it at the time of bumping, you can just look at the then-current version number to decide what new version a major, minor or patch release will result in. If you do it the moment you introduce e.g. a breaking change, you'll have to check whether this is the first breaking change since the last release (i.e. keep the set version number as-is), or if the one that it's currently set to is what it should be.

Minor annoyance, but still.
Worldwide wealth and power dramatically consolidated to the not-locked-down class during the lockdowns.

It's very hard to rule over well-off, free people who have the ability to get together in groups and converse.

It is very easy to rule over isolated, poor, desperate people who can't communicate with each other without using the controlled platforms on which unapproved speech is impermissible.

Two years ago, I had to clone a disk image from one UEFI notebook over to another identical one. Using gzip with output redirection to the device file (might also have been zcat or cat with gzip) did just not work. After days of unsuccessful attempts, I resorted back to dd with gzip. And believe it or not: Only with dd the disk clone was successful.

I came as far as comparing the image files, which were identical, but I did not have the time to compare the disks. So, this still is a mystery for me.

On a side note: If you ever need to do a full disk clone nowadays, I can only recommend clonezilla. Using FAI (Fully Automatic Installation) would be even better instead of doing image clones, but sometimes, that's not an option.
> Fengning is less than half the cost of a nuclear plant and delivers twice as much power.

But the issue is not power but storage capacity. Fengning has 40 GWh of storage capacity, that is less than day of production of basic 2 GW nuclear power plant.

For countries in central Europe (or even northern Europe, like Finland), solar production during winter is generally negligible so from renewables you are left with wind energy. There are multiple-day periods of no wind, so just to keep 3 days of wind energy to replace one continuous 2 GW nuclear power, you would need ~3.6 Fengnings.
Whenever I try and understand what the Pentagon's actual policies are, I give up on reading announcements from PAOs etc. and look at what items each branch is funding. The Navy has had a great UCAS for 8 years, but has barely funded it compared to how many F-18s it buys. So this tells me that the VF mafia in the Navy doesn't want competition.

The Army has cancelled the following systems in the last few decades: Comanche, Crusader, and FCS. Yet it spent the money on these and only cancelled them when the costs ballooned out of control. Other than buying Avenger in the 1980s, the Army has almost completely neglected SHORAD. This tells me they don't give a hoot about the threat. Compare that to Comanche. They are all in on the Future Vertical Lift program. For Crusader, they've decided on incremental (and seemingly perpetual) upgrades to the M109. As well as investing heavily in ATACMs and PrSM.
The issue is you and I know this, but they don't
Not being backed by 'hard assets' is not the same thing as being backed by 'nothing.'

Generally this belies a serious lack of understanding of where money comes from and where it derives its value.

If I go to the bank, and borrow money for a house in the form of a mortgage, then new money is created. An obligation to repay that money is also created. That obligation to repay is collateralized by my house. In this case, the new money that was created was in fact backed by hard assets.

More generally the value of money is derived from an obligation to repay the debt that created it, and the legal system and framework which enforces it.

It's the other way around. I've worked for a company that did (de facto) IQ tests before hiring. It was great. Everyone was intelligent, thoughtful and efficient and the company was successful. The problem was the owners (who of course had not taken any test). They were a mix of crazy and stupid, and the staff had to continuously work around them.
The Era of Borderless Data Is Ending
The logical construction of this piece is poorly formulated.

The title is “why does x happen”.

The content is:

I believe foo.
Evidence behind why author believes foo.

Here is an arbitrary list of 6 behavioral responses to foo: [a b c d e x].
X happens which is a bad thing.

There is no critical analysis or evidence substantiating the 6 responses, nor how/why response x happens. In other words, there’s no intellectual rigor behind the title’s claim, nor do I have any inclination to believe the author’s claim as true after reading it.
how do you ensure the noise doesn't change between calls? if I want to fingerprint how the letter "a" is rendered, how do you ensure that I can't try drawing "a1", "a2", "a3", etc. which are "different" draw calls, but still allow me to build a composite image of what "a" looks like?
It sucks that Pamela's leaving Berkeley. We worked closely together for the past year.

These thoughts are incredibly valid -- I also wrote something similar after two years, though didn't share it. Salary is a tough sticking point in the Bay, but it's far from the only thing there. At the same time, it'd be one that the University could relatively easily fix if they tried...

The point about inflexibility is really worth underscoring. My calendar is WAY more full during the semester than it ever was as a SWE. While my summers are quite a bit more flexible in terms of a calendar, they are completely filled with prep and research projects - some to fill in a pay gap, some that are fun...
I also find the 15 week (really more like 18 week) semester in the Fall quite a slog. In industry it's often possible to take a couple days vacation when you need it without issue, but it's incredibly difficult to recharge during the semester.

I wasn't aware of Waltke's position, which is cited by that CNN article, but I don't think it represents the consensus of Christian scholars at the time, and in any case, he later (in 1976) reversed his position, concluding: "The fetus is human and therefore to be accorded the same protection to life granted every other human being."
If the close contact during sex is a good way to get infected then it makes sense that a group that are largely cut off sexually from the rest of the population would see it first.

Targets to ban internal combustion engines will put an enormous strain on battery costs. Someone mentioned "massive pumped storage" but there's hardly any water where you'd want to build solar plants.

Industry and even the modest of living standards depends on energy density & reliability. So there's really no way to get completely off of fossil fuels without nuclear or literally starving people. That's your choice.

If Fukushima wasn't an outlier, then I wouldn't want to live anywhere close to a traditional reactor. Yet accident statistics & population trends don't really support that conclusion.
>"Society has decided that it doesn't want to support American universities through tax dollars."

This is hyperbole, the government is spending billions on American Universities in a myriad of different ways. And, many ways of support are not direct. One could argue that the guaranteed student loan programs are a roundabout way of supporting universities through tax dollars as well.
That looks absolutely nothing like a young Bernie Sanders, but there seems to be multiple places online claiming it is him.
Part of the issue is TOO MUCH governance. We have loaded colleges down with regulations and requirements, which then require administrators to handle these rules. Most of these administrative roles are not optional (at least not if you don't want to get sued).

Most of these requirements independently make sense, but the sum impact weighs down universities and drives up cost.
