> the mortality rate associated with live births is 23.8 per 100,000

You can't just take the number for live births and apply it to abortions. The actual number from people who making direct observations instead of committing statistical malpractice seem to be around 0.7 deaths per 100K abortions. The authors say it might be even lower; there's certainly no rational reason to believe it has gotten worse since the last numbers were made available. (BTW I do wonder why they're no longer available, and suspect political pressure was involved much as with tracking gun deaths.)

https://scdhec.gov/risks-abortion

Besides considering the difference between safe vs. unsafe abortions, a real comparison of abortion vs. live-birth death rates would also have to consider pregnancies that end in miscarriage, and the fact that the availability of safe abortion in high-risk cases improves prognoses for live birth. A particularly instructive example is Romania, which saw abortion death rate go from 20/100K to 148/100K when abortion was restricted in 1966, and then back down to 9/100K after the restrictions were removed in 1989.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2709326/

BTW note that the abortion death rate in 1965 Romania was lower than the live-birth death rate in modern US. It's currently a safer option for the mother in a great many cases, but would become much worse if it had to go underground, and some of us think that matters.
Well, you can't simultaneously tear down silos and continue to have two silos... I would hope that would be obvious? The new cross-functional team is made up of the Dev people who are now doing Ops and the Ops people who are now doing Dev, with everyone else no longer fitting into the new DevOps reality, which was itself born from the premise that cloud computing was simply obsoleting the floor of dedicated systems administrators you previously had building machines and coordinating workloads and replacing it with a new deployment paradigm where a developer could develop their operations as easily as as they can develop anywhere else in the product's stack. If you have a special DevOps team you hire people into that is simply a renaming of the people you previously had doing Ops, you either haven't internalized this future or are actively rejecting it (which, I will emphatically state, is a perfectly fair position to maintain) and of course are going to "fail" at DevOps.
the story you heard about health is exactly backward. I had also heard that FDA approvals depended on SAS, but I spoke more recently with somebody who does this and it turns out both the submittors and the FDA use R, not SAS. There have definitely been communities of stats people who "trust" only certain codes or routines, but generally, the trend has been towards open implementations of the code, as it allows more experts to inspect the workings when they detect problems.
Does anyone know if projects that aim to use CPU idle time are actually useful?

One example I found: https://einsteinathome.org/
This is a very good point. Companies would love to hire someone doing work of 3-4 dedicated ppl for the salary of 2.

As a DevOps Engineer I pretty much am required to know the whole ecosystem of:

- JavaScript

- Java

- Golang

- Python

- C/C++

On top of that companies often expect you have also at least associate architect for:

- AWS

- Azure

- GCP

And ofcourse a security expert that can write OAuth2 implementation in any of the languages mentioned while performing security audits for security certifications!
One year later: your end up with a team of burnt out engineers that are about to quit and leave you alone.
Tesla is the dominate EV automaker in the US. If they’ll pay for the charger, it absolutely makes sense to let them. They’ve got the deep pockets from selling high margin vehicles at scale.

I know, I know, you despise them. Such is life. I don’t swim upstream.

> Tesla is the biggest EV brand in the US by a long shot. About 80% of all electric cars in the country are Tesla vehicles, and unsurprisingly the company is starting to feel an increase in orders from gas price pressure.

The BR that I watched was more that an atmospheric sci-fi flic. It was an epic parable of the human condition. In the beginning it juxtaposes humans and replicants, but what you're supposed to realise along the way is that the life of a replicant is just an accelerated version of a human life: However long or short a lease on life you have been given, the common factor is that it is limited, and what matters is not what species you are, but how you approach life. Deckard, who is a coward unable to live the life that he has, has a life lesson to learn from the replicant who "does not go gently into that good night".

Of course, if Deckard is a replicant, then that interpretation goes out the window, and BR is just another forgettable sci-fi plot twist movie. And since Ridley Scott seems to think so, the movie is now ruined for me -- I have never watched the sequel, because it is just too painful to watch the original movie that I loved be destroyed.

I saw a movie that wasn't just a new visual style for 80's cyberpunk, it was so much more.

well, probably it's time to tag pieces of data, so it's possible to block certain results based on where the data originated.
until a few years ago, it was implicit that everyone contributing to open-source projects would treat each other respectfully, because personal politics or identity issues or whatever were wholly divorced from writing code to make computers do things. this is no longer the case, and people running many open-source projects feel the need to legislate morality upon its contributors, as though they were kindergarten teachers. I personally find this objectionable, and such "spaces" make me feel unwelcome... but, again, I don't care, I don't feel entitled to be a part of any online "space" other than ones I myself create.

what could possibly cause this sense of entitlement in your mind? what universal moral imperative do you believe exists that everyone is supposed to abide by with regards to publicly allowing contributions to their own open-source programming projects, and why do you believe it does or should exist?

Let's look then at that.

Russia produces about 4 billion barrels of oil per year. The various sanctions reduced that, but not by much. I've seen estimates of 10% to 20% decline, although I have also seen lower estimates. The war has been going on for about 4 months, so at a very conservative 20% output decline it follows that they produced 270 million barrels less than last year. At $100 a barrel, that's a shock of less than $30 billion on the supply side. It's much less than that though, since other producers have increased their output.

$30 billion shock on the supply side vs $7 trillion on the demand side...
Ask HN: Starting a Blackhat Podcast
Hello!
I am in the process of starting a podcast about "the reality of blackhat hacking", I have set up the brand/ website, promotion, roadmap, plans, now I'm looking for a REAL blackhat hacker to interview.

I've tried the /d/Hacking subdread, however it's just full of newbies who want to "Hire a hitman" etc.
I know a few people on discord who are black-hats, however they are only in white-hat servers like The-Eye and TryHackMe where discussion of illegal activity is not allowed and they are unwilling to discuss their actions in DM's

Are you aware of discord servers, IRC channels or matrix rooms populated with black-hats that I could talk to or possibly call? If so, please comment

I used to be in the scene in 2016-17 (early years of raidforums) I made a few RAT's disguised as cheat software (luckily I came to my senses and stopped making malware), i've checked "breached.to" (its successor) however im having trouble finding actual hackers.

I am aware of forums like breached.to, nulled.to, cracked.io, v3rmill, blackhatworld, if someone knows of good threads/ sub-forums on those sites please comment
I feel like there's some disagreement somewhere that's preventing reconciliation of what's going on here.

Does density imply micro-apartments? What's a micro-apartment? What's considered dense development?

Are we looking at this through a macroeconomic model or a microeconomic model? If microeconomic, have we accounted for everything that confounds consumer choice and consumer demand?

Given strict regulations on land use—the status quo today—is it reasonable to assume that mansions or villas within the city limits will be granted permits for denser development, whether that means interior renovations to convert them into multi-unit dwellings or razing the building and starting anew?

The analyses so far plainly seem too simple.
The ability to spin up a box, have it run insecure code, and then spin it down; and the ability to do that all day long, is worth it for the security benefits that all this complexity entails.
Listen, if I've managed to get this far without discounting the movie despite the blatant and jarring non-consensual sex scene presented as a love scene, I'm not about to let some mild xenophobia stop me.

Some of my favorite pieces of art are deeply flawed. What's important is understanding what ideas they contain, so you don't just uncritically and subconsciously believe those ideas. The xenophobia in cyberpunk idea is jarring to me because I wasn't really aware of it, and if it is there, it means I have some unexamined biases that hid it from me.

It's not about labels. Speech that singles other people or groups out for different treatment or is otherwise racist, sexist, etc is intolerant. In a just society, we simply ask that one makes one's point without throwing specific groups under the proverbial bus.
One way to think of it as energy spend on activism for integrity. Many governments, tyrants and thieves would stop at nothing to corrupt the integrity of the chain. By sacrificing energy we make it very difficult for them to do so.
It is not the energy or work itself that is valuable, but the requirement that an adversary outwork in order to inflict a negative outcome.

Well a meta repo isn't a mono repo. In that situation you can still update individual repos. Analogous to running a DB operatioj without a transaction.

But that said, no I don't think you need a meta repo. You need something. Call it a Change set. MVP would be say merge commits in 4 repos. If any fail then revert. If they all succeed then deploy in a specified order.
Learning responsibility? Learning how an organization functions? Perhaps learning a skill at the job (customer service, mental math, cooking, etc)? A waste?

But that's the thing, jodos dune came as an aggregate of "non-movie" mediums, because jodorowsky was not a cinematographer by trade he was an avant garde theater person, giger, Dali, moebius, Foss, neither of them "were part" of the "movies" medium, they all and the rest of the crew were painters or writers or musicians, comic book artists, not cinematographers per se, in that sense what jodorowsky set to do was not even a movie as we might think of one today, but an agglomeration of different types and styles of art with all their own individual Influences mixed in

I think today, it would be nearly impossible for "works" to exist and not have been inspired themselves in some degree by the downstream effects and inspiration that jodorowskys movie had, just think that starwars itself is inspired by it

But anyhow, it is a quite interesting food for thought

If anyone knows of some niche modern scifi books or works which might not be influenced by this failed dune movie let me know, I love this stuff
A lot of relational databases offer a better (or more useful) consistency model than k-v stores, assuming your data isn’t just a bunch of keys and values. Having to worry about consistency can significantly your worsen complexity of your application code.
Eek. It seems like there’s a risk that you could push N instead of D when trying to shift from reverse into drive. This could be very dangerous in certain situations, like if you’re backing out of a parking spot onto a busy road.
> A religious person who opposes abortion is not a fascist.

I’d call them a theocrat, but lets not forget the close ties between fascism and the church/new political-religious movements in Germany and Italy.

> An athlete who opposes trans womens' rights to compete in womens' competitions is not a fascist.

This one is nuanced because transgender folks being allowed to exist openly is still fairly recent, and openly in sports is more novel still. There are fascists in that camp for sure, but also a lot of reasoned debate needed to work out the cultural niche for trans people in this area. Unfortunately the left will seek to stop any debate, and fascists will poison the debate until trans people are bludgeoned into silence once more.
Apparently (and probably unsurprisingly) weed/grass killers like Roundup can also affect bees:

Fair enough. I acknowledge, nothing is certain in any market. But with that said I simply struggle to understand who isn't convinced that VR is the future of computing. It's currently in it's infancy from a technology standpoint, and even then is loads of fun. There's a huge upside, tons of potential, and a giant company going ALL IN to make it happen.

First, I'd say the key value store is actually older than the relational database, by at least a couple of decades. Of course, not the current ones, but we're also not using the relational database from the 80s so ...

Now to try and answer your question, I think a relational database is a lot more complex than a simple key value store, but if it's a good implementation, it will hide this complexity from the user, and using the database will be rather simple. It can be as simple as a key value store since you can just use a relational database like one. Note that this hiding of complexity is by design, it is one of the main goals of the relational model, it's not accidental.
Ive worked in places that have done just that. Essentially developed who are operations but focused on dev. They hated being on call, anxiety went through the roof, burn out and eventually would leave the company, it was rolled out to a subset team and not all.

These were seasoned devs the company had lost and now the codebase is dysfunctional and has put the project/roadmap at risk and company revenue.

The thought of having to do Ops, write code and be on call gives me anxiety and panic attacks.

That's the problem. It's not even based on unpaid labor. There are courts assigning alimony to support porn addiction and other lifestyle factors. If it were based on unpaid labor, my wife would be paying me for all the high-rate mechanic, handyman, tech support, accounting, etc work. By getting married the lower earner is basically taking possession of your earning potential.

If anyone thinks this is joking, my wife's father was in an accident and then a coma. Lost his job and obviously wasnt making money in a coma. Apparently the child support payments emptied his account. He was arrested for not paying. He then couldn't find any decent job with the arrest record.

I mean I agree, on the other hand if it's no more realistic perhaps this means that the fiction part of science fiction actually takes precedence despite coming second and thus is actually not any sort of evidence of its being a bad movie.
I live in a commie block — well, fashy block since it's Spain — and although the zone is something that in the US would be seen as "the projects", the zone is nicer than the surrounding neighbourhood: well oriented blocks with plenty of light, no inner courtyards, surrounded by parks, minimal walls with neighbours, etc. Something is failing in city planning when the absolute cheapest houses that were built in a post war economy to house poor families were more thoughtfully designed than the rest of the area under city hall code.
> If they’ll pay for the charger, it absolutely makes sense to let them.

Not if you want to build industry and infrastucture. Lack of direction and fractured infrastructure is part of the reason why America's EV market is only one third the size of Europe's.

> I know, I know, you despise them.

Then you know nothing. It's funny how you have to resort to emotion rather than addressing the obviously worse situation of single brand chargers and the obviously better outcome of infrastructure than can charge all EVs regardless of brand.

Good faith users don't need security policies because the security policies weren't written for them. They were written for the pathological cases.

Good faith citizens don't need laws because the laws weren't written for them, etc.

Systems designed around the pathological cases help keep those pathological cases at bay. They are a framework for allowing the good-faith people to continue to act in good faith without having to constantly worry about the pathological cases themselves. I'd love to go back to the days when people left their doors unlocked and no one had a password to get into their account, but those days are gone. So are the days of not having a code of conduct on your open source project.
IaC wasn't a thing because you honestly didn't need code to solve the vast majority of deployment problems. It was a configuration issue.

Not 2005, but a year later in 2006 I was using cfengine to deploy code and configuration to servers from an svn repository. The same svn repository had dhcpd configs that described pretty much every device on the network. The dhcp configs also pointed to a tftp service from which new nodes pxe booted to an installer which pulled down the node specific kickstart, and provisioned the machine.

We didn't call it infrastructure as code, but it sure fucking smells the same.
