Without getting too deep into the intricacies of morality, I'd disagree. (Who am I kidding? We're already deep :D )

Your premise is that acting on the desire of an unfair advantage is the greater immoral act, and the act of accepting the payment for an unfair advantage is less morally bankrupt.

In each of these scenarios, the person being bribed has the power. They have nothing to lose if they reject the bribe.

Yet, if they have nothing to lose when _accepting_ the bribe, that is how corrupt regimes start.

Of course, one could argue that it depends on the corruption. In your case of a building authority, imagine one that always says no regardless of the request. Maybe they let through the odd high-profile project where someone in the project is chummy with the director of the authority. Arguably, this building authority is already corrupt, and merely hiding behind the excuse of bureaucracy. (We don't tend to think about social capital as a form of bribery, but it very much is)

In the case of the driving inspector, they are potentially licensing an individual who will get others killed. Morally speaking, any future deaths are at least partially attributable to the driving inspector.

I suspect part of your position hinges on a malicious intent in the initiator. However, power and responsibility are not separable - and cases where there are possible consequences, morality must be judged in part on the basis of that responsibility.

As I say, we're getting into the weeds - these hypothetical situations are in many ways divorced from the original question, so let's look at that:

- A person is kicked off an online communications platform. Nobody is quite sure why, but there are some pretty likely conclusions.

- The platform is known for bending the rules for high-profile accounts

- The person can prove that they are not breaking any consistently-applied rules (assuming valid interpretation of vague rules should be judged on whether their peers are allowed to post similar - and in this case, she pointed out that her content is well within moral norms for the platform)

- The platform offers no accessible recourse (except for those with social capital) and not just bureaucracy, but hidden bureaucracy dependant on the whims of a hidden adjudicator who has nothing to lose for interpreting the rules harshly.

- Very limited harms if accepted, potential loss of revenue, personal content, position in a (digital) society, freedom of expression etc if rejected.

In this case, I'd say the briber has, at the point their account was terminated, already lost a lot to the corruption of the platform, and yet the bribe was still over-paid. Saying that theirs was the more immoral act seems intensely unfair, when they did the only thing they felt they could to re-gain justice.
How could they be surprised? It was so so so obvious crypto would crash. Did they think money pulled from the bright blue sky would get more and more valuable forever?. People that stupid can’t put on shoes. There must be some other dynamic. This is astounding to me. These people are so stupid. So stupid.

Hey, Geoff here from Gitpod. Thanks for letting more folks know about us. If people have any questions let me know.
Starlink dishes do have a steerable mount. It just usually doesn't move in operation. It might be fast enough for on-the-road use, with fine tracking done by the phased array combined with coarse tracking with the motors. That said, since they don't move in operation anyways with moving satellites, I think they should be fine on a moving platform with just beamforming.
As a a person who supports the aid to Ukraine, this sums it all really and harks back to General Smedley Butler's assessment on War:

Democrat or Republican. It does not matter. War is the raison d'état of the state. Extravagant military expenditures are justified in the name of “national security.” The nearly $40 billion allocated for Ukraine, most of it going into the hands of weapons manufacturers such as Raytheon Technologies, General Dynamics, Northrop Grumman, BAE Systems, Lockheed Martin, and Boeing, is only the beginning. Military strategists, who say the war will be long and protracted, are talking about infusions of $4 or $5 billion in military aid a month to Ukraine. We face existential threats. But these do not count. The proposed budget for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in fiscal year 2023 is $10.675 billion. The proposed budget for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is $11.881 billion. Ukraine alone gets more than double that amount. Pandemics and the climate emergency are afterthoughts. War is all that matters. This is a recipe for collective suicide.
I'm not a player but I attend services at the Sikh Gurdwara when I can and I will admit that I really am not a fan of the harmonium in comparison to other pre-colonial instruments. There are still groups such as Dhadis who don't use harmoniums however theym by design, create extremely intense listening experiences but I would love to hear more Kirtan in other contexts live.
> Nonetheless, it's not a great fit for most domains; for instance, I never got the sense that it could scale much beyond one-person projects.

I don't think it's really missing features compared to Python or Javascript that would help with this. Tooling could improve a lot though :)
No one ever believed it was. A more appropriate response would be the think of the children simpsons image.
I've never shorted or taken out crypto loans, but you could theoretically:

- Take out a loan of USDT, using a stablecoin you trust as collateral

- Immediately trade all USDT into your stablecoin

- If the USDT price crashes, buy it up to repay the loan.

e.g. Binance lets you borrow 800k USDT with 1.23m collateral. Over 180 days, interest paid would be 36k.

Say USDT crashes and you repay your loan at 10c/USDT - you would pay at most 84k to settle the loan. You then end up with 1.94m, a 58% return on investment.

It's probably not that simple however.

Very cool setup.

I know it's a bit silly, but anyone building out cloud services should look at this post and think about how easy it is to set up this. This is just slightly more complex than a static site, has a bit of heterogenity, but otherwise is a lot of known tools.

Can your stack provide all of this without breaking the bank for the people signing up? Can it be done without having to learn a bunch of bespoke systems? I think that Heroku's success in particular is totally down to managing this bespoke-ness balance (that is still kinda missing from container-based setups).
So you’re saying us Backend guys are geniuses huh :D
Not sure what's new here, eg. I can go to Telstra who will fitout and manage building wifi for me.
Looks really cool--I love the overview, we've definitely grown out of JSON, most of the time I sadly end up using pickle when using Python.

Too many question marks in my head to be honest. The more I think about it, I believe code still may be the the best way to describe really complex data.

What is interesting to me is the holistic view of all the data types we most commonly use--but then I don't really know how this differs from Thrift/Avro/etc--and then further, why haven't we as a community moved to one of those?

Coming up with new algo's gets you promoted in google's structure, proposing and managing an army of support people is not 'elegant' and nobody would want to work on it.
Because a large percentage of abuse goes completely unreported, I would expect we overlook even more male predators. The balance of power inside families tends to generally incline in their favour, so they surely find it easier to cover up their tracks.
I am not someone who spends much time on YouTube at all, perhaps a few hours a year. But after looking at that channel it just seems to be some line drawn images with a poem read in the background. If it’s not autogenerated content, I bet it absolutely could be by someone on HN.

Comparatively, a suggested video came up below when I was checking out the red frost channel, and I ended up watching most of it. Some guy restoring a vintage mechanical watch from start to finish, which seemed to be (to me) high quality content. The person seemed to know a ton about watch movements and I learned a lot.

Not saying the red frost channel should be banned or anything, but imo it’s not too different than the guy auto posting stack overflow questions and answers, just replace stack overflow with poetry.
I've used an extension that does this in the past to great effect. I can't seem to find it right now, but here's a similar one: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=qufiwefe...
> Liberals are cheerleading the war in Ukraine. At least the inception of the war with Iraq saw them join significant street protests. Ukraine is embraced as the latest crusade for freedom and democracy against the new Hitler.

This particular bit is such a weird take. Speaking as someone who marched against the invasion of Iraq and also wants us to support Ukraine, the position isn't "war is good now actually," the position is "hey maybe don't go invading people for fun." I didn't want to see Iraq invaded on false pretenses and I don't want to see Ukraine taken over by a bully either. There's nothing inconsistent about this.
Thanks a lot, I use mainly YT Music, can you convert the playlist to it too?

> At worst, you might see low-level stochastic violence

Perhaps worth looking at all the stochastic violence in the US (and occasionally exported) to see where that's driven from.
George Polya's "How to solve it" taught me how to think better, in engineering, mathematics & problem solving. After going through the whole thing, and solving a few of the exercises, I feel like I get stuck less compared to before.
> Pop quiz: In what countries does it cost a full day's wages or more to fill a car's gas tank?

In most of them, I'd bet. Just for example, in Czech Republic we're currently at $7/US gal. Our median (NOT minimum) income is around $8.5 per hour. So this is 1.5 working days for your 15 gallon tank for the average worker.

BTW, someone already did the relevant calculations: https://www.globalpetrolprices.com/articles/85/ -- feel free to compare the situation in the US to other countries.
I think it might be more about latency then pure capacity.
Since this thread is very general, I'd like to specifically request anything that'd help one dive into Model Theory. Everything I've found labeled introductory is very dense, and I feel like I'm missing some prereqs it assumes. It's not easy to know what those are though.
Yeah I know, but I have some indirect experience with this (not at gitlab, of course) and it was hard to figure all out.

In short, it's hard to tell if you are doing repeated C++ builds or mining cryptocurrency.

But yeah it's not that different from CI.
They are good in certain circumstances, but they use a few tricks, eg. there is no battery meter on the V6 to avoid range anxiety, so it will just die without warning and flash a LED vs having a battery gauge.

The suction is also pretty poor, however it makes up for it by having a roller in the vacuum head which picks up the dirt.

If you have anyone in the house with long hair its almost unusable as the roller will be clogged up after a single vacuum. A traditional vacuum with better suction and no roller wont have this issue.

On the plus side they are light and manoeuvrable, and the wall mount means you always keep it charged.
Alternatively, I'd proffer that it's possibly the correct answer to an earnest question, and a helpful nugget that could easily get lost here in plenty of imagined technical problems, suggested by predominantly technical people used to thinking mainly about that and assuming it's the reason.

Yes and that why the already not using that anymore and are now using something cheaper and very likely already have the next version in the pipeline.
> The idea that most people use any coherent ethical framework (even something as high level and nearly content-free as Copenhagen) much less a particular coherent ethical framework is, well, not well supported by the evidence.

I don't have any evidence, but my personal experience is that it feels correct, at least on the internet.

People seem to have a "you touch it, you take responsibility for it" mindset regarding ethical issues. I think it's pretty reasonable to assume that Google execs are assuming "If anything bad happens because of AI, we'll be blamed for it".
The fact that Vercel can do deploys to different environments almost instantly, suggests to me that internally they use some variant of the solution suggested in the first reply in that discussion.

It's obvious to anyone that mass surveillance is not against crime BUT to commit larger crimes, like dictatorship and oppression, like homogenization of humans destroying the mechanism keep us evolving etc.

The point is: how many, understood that, decide that's about time to say STOP, pretending immediate arrest and trial for crimes against humanity, attempted coup, high treason, embezzlement etc to our formal politicians and their private-sector shoulder?

For what I see very few. At that point, missing Citizens, we can't have Democracy, so at that point it's perfectly legit morally consider certain level of ignorance like a sort of soft-crime and so pushing toward a new neofeudal society where the cohort of Citizens abuse the crowd of subjects, like our oppressors do, for Citizens interests. Of course it's not easy, but that's is.
Generally, I think lecture notes + books works much better for this than just books alone. The pacing/style/presentation of both is different for a reason and they work well together. In particular, books are great for a second look, practice and revising, but might be too condensed at first.

So instead of searching for a good book, I would recommend to search for good lecture notes/scripts first and then also get the book(s) these list as references.
Only around one quarter of them are in their operational positions, with just over one half of them having been launched (the other one quarter is either raising their orbits or drifting into position). So it's not quite enough to run a service on yet, for that portion.

That is the trick of the name.

The European Commission "sounds" as the "Commission for highways" in the, say Ministry for the Interior. But it has nothing to do with that AT ALL.

It is the main government branch of the EU, the "executive". Despite its name.

The parliament is just the "legislative".

That is the trick they played on us. And, honestly, part of what made British brexiters mad at Europe (not trying to be on either side, hey).
Annex K, VLAs, K&R function declarations are some of the things that got dropped from recent standards.
I got a Black & Decker cordless vacuum and it works great. Great battery (~60-90m runtime on full charge) which is also easily swappable (same batteries as their drills) with decent suction, build quality feels good too. It's almost 3x cheaper than the Dyson so really great value
Please forgive the nit-picking, I'm not attacking this (excellent) article, or your entirely sensible inclination to dig up some "physical" number, but...

With modern SSDs, "sector/block size" is rapidly approaching vagueness of cylinder/head/sector addressing scheme, as used a couple of decades ago on venerable spinning/magnetic disks.

That is - it is definitely a thing, somewhere deep down, but software running on host CPU trying to address those, wouldn't necessarily end up addressing the same thing as user had in mind.

If you want a concrete example - look no further than "SLC mode" cache - where drive would have a number of identical flash chips, but some of them (or even a dynamically-allocated fractional number of chips) would be run at lower bits per cell count, for higher speed/endurance. However erase- and write- blocksize for the chip is expressed in cells, not bits. What that means is - cache and main storage of the very same SSD would have different blocksize (in bits/bytes).
Is this fundamentally different from training a human exclusively on the same and expecting them to advance the field of art by a hundred years? These sorts of progressions in humanity are slow and steady with occasional exceptions that produce leaps.
This is a false equivalence.

There is censorship in both the West and China. There is also water in both a desert and a rainforest—but it would be ridiculous to say that rainforests and deserts are therefore equivalent in terms of water.
Oh hey, a recruiter made me code on stackblitz for an interview recently, and I couldn't find the site again afterwards. Thanks for the link.

Yeah, stackblitz is amazing. At least during that one interview, it worked flawlessly.
I can heartfully recommend the subreddit LinkedinLunatics. Agree? Thoughts?
I can see plenty of room for improvement to optimize it even further. They could use accelerometers/gyroscopes to detect & predict "regular" movement (boats, etc) as well as current position to predict turns for land-based vehicles (from map data) so that the antenna can essentially "lead" the predicted movement (and maybe even do some magic with TCP flows to prepare them for predicted dropouts so they pick back up faster once the link is reestablished).
Invisible, robust watermarks had a lot of attention in research from the late 90s to the early 10s, and apparently some resurgence with the availability of cheap GPU power.

Naturally there's a python library [1] with some algorithms that are resistant to lossy compression, cropping, brightness changes, etc. Scaling seems to be a weakness though.

This is the first part of the nuance. I never said US government. I said establishment.

Which topics do youtube/facebook/twitter censor?

Or, slightly more specifically, which part of US government is officially responsible for this? https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/facebook-slammed-for-spreading-p... Was there a law made to censor foreign countries?

See? There is wide part of power that can use the delta between "Congress made a law" and "pressure was applied to get what we want".

Actually, Chinese is very similar; there are no Xi Jinping or CCP decreees top down; the mechanism to chinese censorship is very similar to US one. But there it's no problem to mix it into Chinese government (or whatever, or whatever, they are all the same anyway).
Because the term is widely used, but after I wrote it I realised not every single reader might know that it means "to speak as if you have brain damage". So I added some explanation, everyone can participate now and some folks might expand their vocabulary.
I agree with all of this. I've had mine 5 years now, the battery life was never greatand unsurprisingly it's not getting any better... Would I'd buy another? Probably not. I heard Shark is supposed to be pretty good.
Your answer is not false, but does not explain why someone would hold Tether instead of using it as an intermediate vehicle.
If you're like me, of average intelligence and not an abstract thinker, I don't believe any maths book can replace a human until you have a pretty solid experience & background established. There's too many ways to misinterpret what's being said, or just not 'get' it. One needs another mind. IME anyway.
Merriam Webster [0] disagrees with your limiting definition (while etymologically correct). And even if it hadn't, it doesn't affect the coherence of the argument.

Sure, and again, after the fact.

> And surprisingly, Google seems unable or unwilling to filter this stuff out.

A little OT, but I find this very surprising too. In general I'm (still) a big fan of Google Search, which I think is amazing and miles above the competition.

But it's true that SO clones are everywhere, often in the first five results.

How can this be? How hard is it to detect that if the exact same content appeared first on SO, and then later on ten different sites that have zero content that's not already on SO, those are spam clones??

How is it even in Google's interest to upset users that way? Beats me.
I'm not seeing the smooth continuous motion you're talking about in that video. Every motion leads to hear being placed onto a specific tile, she can never be between tiles.

You can see the developer talking about the design in this video, as well as additional comparisons from the narrator on the PoP influence:

Prince of Persia was one of the main influences in the game's mechanics and the grid system is an intentional emulation of the grid system from the earlier game.

If you worked in a hospital and you managed to increase the survival rate from 86% to 88%, you too would be a hero.

Sure, it's only 2%, but if it's on a problem where everyone else has been trying to make that improvement for a long time, and that improvement means big economic or social gains, then it's worth it.
- "A Course of Higher Mathematics", V. I. Smirnov.

- "Differential and Integral Calculus", N. Piskunov.

- "Problems in Mathematical Analysis", B. Demidovich.

These are great books. Demidovich's book is a collection of more than 3000 exercises. Smirnov's book is a course that takes you from what a value means, to advanced topics (5 volumes, in 7 books). Piskunov's book is in-between (course and exercises).

These are the books we've used and went to during the first two years of Engineering (all engineers civil/mechanical/electrical/etc. and phys/maths/chem students go through the maths/phys/chem heavy common core except CS/SE students).
