It's possible for a company, which is seemingly providing you a service since you visited the site, to make money off a targeted ad in exchange for free video streaming/content/entertainment.

The whole thing has always seemed overblown to me. Websites make much more money off targeted ads, allowing them to do things like allow anyone to upload a video of any length and quality for free. And view other videos people upload. In most cases it seemed to me like a fair trade to make. Yet as people point out all the time, technically a website isn't allowed to deny access to someone who refuses targeted ads (through the cookie pop-up), so they're essentially being forced to provide that user content at a loss. Untargeted ads are often worth 90% less or more than their targeted equivalent.

The world might change, but software engineers have been working with and within change their entire careers presumably. I think we'll be OK, as people, no matter what happens.

I was sweating nervously before I started using Copilot awhile ago but I've stopped since because A - it really doesn't replace me, tried really hard; B - I don't sweat nervously for IntelliSense either.

There's also C, where being of an entrepreneurial mindset, I'd love the opportunity to hand over the software to an AI dev and just direct the implementation to my desire until I have a working product. I bet I could secure a higher room in the castle if instead of coding for 8 hours per day I could work on n products with capable AI Software Engineers. We're not there yet though.
Quantity, it's said, has a quality all its own.

Anyone who wants to look at their personal unproblematic weed use and conclude that it's totally, universally impossible for today's weed concentrates to be a problem for anyone really isn't thinking straight. There is a difference between concentrates and flower. Once you're habitually using something that's 50%+ THC, "normal" weed just doesn't cut it anymore. You need to start upping the ante just to feel high at all. People call this "tolerance" but IMO that word obscures what's actually happening. Namely, you can only put so many feel-good chemicals in the human brain before you hit diminishing returns. Trying to keep the good times rolling may cause you to blow past your body's ability to metabolize the chemicals away without consequences. I've been a stoner for 12+ years and have had to learn my limits the hard way. I really feel for the girl in this article, and anyone else who's struggling with their weed use in a culture that repeatedly insists there is "no unsafe dose."
not sure that it's relevant and 'large' is subjective, but yes, i stewarded the technology migration of a core product suite for a prior employer, which incidentally had government agencies as a prominent customer segment.

i'm not suggesting that governments can only use internally developed or open-source software, i'm saying corporate interests should be firewalled away from goverment. so a locally-installed office suite incorporating no surveillance tech doesn't have the ancillary corporate interests attached to qualify it for being firewalled.
Remember that Star Trek movie trailer wherein the Enterprise (or a similar) spacecraft seemed to drop like the string had been cut? That's what I picture with "plummet".
Sure, your language has some kind of lists or arrays or whatever, and you could use one to store an inventory. But the UI designer decided that the player should be able to rearrange items in their inventory, so now you have to store a position for each one. And it has to have a background image, and such. But that’s what a room is! The room itself has a normal array of items and an array of positions, or something similar.

Sure, rooms have a few extra features that containers don’t necessarily require, such as the ability to have exits. But that’s ok, the list of exits can be empty. No problem. Even if you enumerated all of those extra features you might not realize to document that nobody should ever put _actors that can move around on their own_ into a container.
Well, I'm still in awe that I have a bunch of walls around me and can cover my body with clothes, or that I'm still alive after all this time, and that I can even rest most of the day and not spend body energy running after or from animals. Amazing stuff.

A program that transforms text to an image? Huh.
You are confusing correlation and causation. Places with Gun Control today have higher crime rates including expectation of death by gun than those that are Gun Friendly. Look at our government statistics.

And the hierarchal structure of the US Constitution and legal system (based on Common Law rather than Civil Law).

Constitutional Amendments are far above any other federal law - for example, state laws barring free speech are struck down because the 1A is most fundamental. But regulating milk is not.

Common Law generally inverts the legislative/legal process compared to a Civic Law system. The US, all British Commonwealth Nations and US territories and commonwealths are all Common Law, and that's pretty much the only places. The rest of the world is Civil Law based on French and Roman legal traditions which operate very differently and are based on different fundamental assumptions.

It's sometimes said that in Common Law, ALL things are legal except those specifically outlined by law as forbidden, while in Civil Law, ALL things are forbidden except those specifically outlined by law as allowed. That's about how big the difference is though the impact on legislative process and judicial process are nontrivial as well.
This points out the fact that ceding your technical manufacturing base to other countries, especially your possible enemies, is good way to lose geopolitical relevance in a hurry. The implicit assumption has always been that nuclear weapons trump everything, but realistically this only is useful if an enemy believes you are willing to invoke Armageddon to resolve a conflict. Is the US going to risk annihilation over Taiwan? If the answer is 'no', then relative conventional combat strength will determine the victor, and when your opponent owns your industrial base, you have already lost.
I don't keep a digital journal so to speak but when I would do something ad-hoc/break-fix in the workplace I would always add a comment to syslog on-the-fly in case someone asks why I did a thing. So I suppose this is sort of a digital journal. Syslog has data retention requirements in this case and was also replicated to Splunk.

echo "Fixing ssh key permissions for ansible. --my.name JIRA-1000101" | logger

Logger sends the text to syslog. If someone detected a system change they will eventually also see my message and can review the JIRA that hopefully answers any questions they might have as well as showing my work and approval process. That has saved me from many emails and meetings and saved me a lot of time.

One could run a syslog server on their home/vpn-mesh and/or use rsyslog with TLS and send messages from any terminal to the syslog server. I have also found this to be a useful way to distribute commands and log feedback for home automation. Not command injection but automation that looks for keywords and takes actions.
How old is legacy? I seem to do ok using most ES6 features. I still am not a fan of javascript, but the newer features don't do much. It's not really a readability thing, but the one JS feature I'm holding my breath for is native decimals. I could really use that.
This is where I'm at after years of trying various designs. I went back to shoes I loved in the 90's; Doc Martin 1461 3-eyelet loafers. Classic design, easy to find, and I haven't worn anything since to work in more than a decade now.

People should be highly skeptical of distillates, vape cartridges, waxes, and edibles. This is a new frontier and largely unregulated. You never truly know what you're getting. Even at "regulated" dispensaries the QC is garbage.

Dry herb vaporizing is the optimal way to consume. You can pick the strain and set the exact temperature with far less ambiguity. You can even control the supply by growing it yourself.

It is changing the federal schedule is the best course of action. We are not benefitting by flying blind, and consumption won't go down simply because people would prefer it.
> Crime stats are important but this move in particular is because of Citadel employees themselves becoming victims of crimes more often than before. (if they are to be believed)

We don't just have to believe them, we have to believe the messengers: Citadel and Griffin. Both are prolific liars and manipulators.

But assuming Griffin, Citadel, and Citadel's employees are telling the truth, that they are victimized more than they were before (with some nebulous definition of "before"), we also need to assume that they think they'd be safer in Miami and are eager to move.

You may be right that it's more than politics, but politics seems to be more than enough incentive for Griffin just by itself, and the other reasoning is not very plausible in the first place.

I wonder what the next trendy thing government officials will pretend to care about/fix in order to garner media attention. Something crypto related, maybe?
I don't know if it is the same in Europe, but Marijuana in North America tends to be produced in the country it is consumed. In most places where it is legalized in the states and canada you can even find out exactly what farm it was that produced it.

I get how these state machine gems can sound like a great idea if what you need is taming some state changes that are just a little too much to handle by hand, but they can also delay the realization that you're doing something wrong.

State changes are hard and most involve more than object, there are usually associations that need to be taken care of, validated or maybe also transitioned to a different state, there can be a myriad of conditions and things can go wrong at any moment. And I feel that being able to define state transitions this easily, almost as an afterthought, with a simple DSL, doesn't do all this justice (just like those friendly before/after callbacks can turn into massive spaghetti abominations).

The way I do it is that any state transition more complex than checking two attributes and updating a third one is an object. Transitioning a Campaign object from :reservation to :order? That's a new PORO called CampaignOrder, with a #perform! public method or something. All the conditions, assumptions and side effects have their private methods (check_showings!, update_occupancy!). Passed a dirty record into something delicate? That's a raise, I want something clean and valid to work with. Is this something where we expect a dirty record? Go right ahead, we'll save it later in the transition, plus it will be documented right in the constructor. Does it need to raise? It will. Custom error messages on any record? Right here in this private method. Does any model need to know anything about the state transition or own any related code? Nope.
I’ve been using Raindrop. It seems cool.
It's a long game, but... One approach would be to join a fast growing company which is scaling up to close to 1,000 employees. There tend to be a lot of entrepreneurial folks at that profile of company and they start to desire starting something from scratch vs. building the bureaucracy at their current company.

So, if you join that company, you can make it your goal to meet as many folks as possible and try to build relationships with people who are entrepreneurial. 2ish year commitment, but my guess is that this is one of the higher probability routes to your goal.

Source: I found my co-founder at this profile of company (though it wasn't my primary goal joining the company, and I was there >4y)
Googling around, I found this:

>This summer, the potential gap between energy demand and supply could hit 3,500 megawatts.

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/california-faces-...

The article says:

>Tesla said that it has about 50,000 Powerwalls that could be eligible for this VPP, which add up to a significant 500 MWh of energy capacity than can be distributed in any event.

But presumably a 3500 MW shortfall is the rare peak, and not a typical shortfall. How big of a dent would we expect this system to make in something closer to the average case? Are most brownout shortfalls closer to 500 MW, and how long do they last?
We Europeans are generally used to do whatever the government tell us.

We don't have the same culture as Americans.

Don't get me wrong, you had a pretty bad deal as well: without much fanfare, your government grew up so much in the last 200 years that it became the largest employer in the world. You pay loads of taxes (even more than several EU countries) and get very little benefits.

And yet, I'm sure that if we will get to a political solution to the ever-growing cancers that governments are, that solution is more likely to appear in the states than in Europe.

Europe is a hopeless - albeit beautiful - land. The people gave up change 50 years ago.
I've already been down to a local gun dealers - they are officially saying "no comment" because they can't predict how anything like CCW and gun purchases will change yet.

You are wrong.

CBD is a very effective antipsychotic that occurs naturally alongside the THC: https://academic.oup.com/schizbullopen/article/3/1/sgab053/6...

What percent of products sold for recreational use in dispensaries have a 1:1 or greater ratio of CBD?

So no, there actually is a confirmable mechanism by which the legal product being sold today is significantly less safe in terms of psychosis related side effects than the illegal products from years ago.

And everyone is still so sensitive to regulatory overreach from those years ago that they are stubbornly turning a blind eye to the underlying pharmacological evidence for that danger.

10mg of THC alone and 10mg of THC with 10-20mg of CBD will have very similar euphoric effects. But the latter will be much less likely to result in delusional side effects, for which constant daily use can build up into a full-blown psychotic episode as in the case mentioned in the article.

PNW is a good climate for hemp growth. I was thinking about consumer products, though. It is like an alternate reality where it looks like America, but hemp production/consumer goods we’re never nerfed by the Feds.
I recently started actively bookmarking pages again recently (after being an early Pinboard customer, but not a particularly busy one). I wrote a script to email me 5 random bookmarks every day, so now I treat bookmarking as a "like" button; something I find interesting at the time, and may want to rediscover in the future. I rarely use bookmarks to find something I'm searching for though.

The target market of the business is a strategical internal investment from a marketing and product perspective; this is not something that needs to be communicated externally...

Simply direct internal AEs/CS/PS + branding/messaging/content to target & serve specific segments whilst offering a very basic level of support towards SMBs, and remove free tiers (opting for "contact us for pricing" action buttons for example).

Afterwards the organisation will organically shift towards that direction; but by making this a public thing it hinders opportunity and affects public perception.

The original answer to your question does not involve herd immunity, so why did you reference this?

You need to re-read what was said before because your comment is not relevant.
Algorithms are patentable, not copyrightable.

FISR could have been patented (and be now in the public domain anyway), but only it's specific implementation in DOOM is covered by copyright.

Also, your argument follows a composition fallacy: emergent properties exist, and thus you cannot simply say that because each individual piece of a whole is trivial, the whole is trivial. Heck, software pretty much by definition goes against that. For relevant precedent, there is no shortage of information that becomes classified when in aggregate. Knowing where a certain piece of infrastructure is isn't likely classified, but knowing where all the strategically important pieces of infrastructure are certainly is.

Which is why the question isn't whether the users of Copilot are infringing someone's GPL (they'd likely have a solid defense based on the individual piece not being sufficient to hold copyright protection), it's whether Copilot itself constitutes a derivative work of its input data, which it consumed as whole (copyrighted) works.
This is the end of an era for Londoners of a certain age, but is also somewhat emblematic of not just print vs digital but entrepreneurs vs entrenched interests (Time Out most famously fought years long battle to print TV schedule listings in 1970s when this was legally a BBC monopoly- and they won, but it cost them a fortune and the legal outcome was anyone could publish - and Time Out had no price advantage).

Anyway - great iconic masthead, this kind of means something but not sure what.
> I'd be proud of it, if they were a good person, took care of themselves, took care of the people around them, and were truly happy in their lives

In the comments, the author argues against the underscore by saying Bash/Zsh already uses it for completion. But it looks like it's a Zsh thing - at least my Bash install is pretty conservative about it.
The problem is not a missing version byte. SHA-256 is trivially distinguishable from SHA-1 by hash length. The problem is that that the length of a SHA-1 hash (20 bytes) is (or was) hardcoded in too many places.
Ask HN: Is this a good time to work at a startup?
My non-US citizen friend who works for big tech in SF is contemplating joining a late stage startup in the next month or so (in SF). Given the current macro-economic climate, he's a little hesitant on whether this is a good time to join a startup (Especially with the news of all the layoffs). Would appreciate any advice for him regarding whether it's a good time to join a late stage startup and what signals to look for!

To start getting a take on US gun culture I highly recommend this essay: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/201...

"You just had the most horrific school shooting and now you are forcing states that want to ban guns in certain ways from doing it."

How does your system of government work at the most fundamental level? Here we have constitutional government, where the highest law in the land is a written and not easily amended document. Oh, and it's the birthday of the primary author of the opinion, who's been more and more strident about the Supreme Court allowing the courts below it to nullify their previous decisions a dozen plus years ago.

"What happened to states rights?"

Like the right to keep slaves? See the 13th Amendment to the Constitution. (We can tell you're not an American or are a young one because you don't know the #1 connotation of "states rights" from the civil rights era.)

"I also don't see how not allowing conceal carry prevents you from bearing arms when 'the government is coming to get you'."

It makes all sorts of gambits more expensive. Look for videos of subjects of the PRC being vanned and never heard from again. The shades of 100 million killed by their own governments in 20th Century tell us this is by far the most important reason for a Right to Keep and Bear Arms (RKBA), but it's hardly comprehensive, there's such a thing as lethal force used by criminals to defend against.
My friend, I am trusting academia, but I also know how flawed it can be. If anyone has a bias right now, it seems to be you and the bias is towards always trusting academic research without thinking for yourself.

> "If this is extractable to the general population, approximately 2.75 million (2.13-3.38 million) Americans may suffer annually from a phenomenon similar to CHS."

Well, it is most definitely not extractable, that's why they also wrote "if". The dataset is abysmally small, biased and the filters/conditions applied not nearly strict or valid enough to come to these conclusions.

They are also, at exactly this point, completely contradicting their own research and rationale, as well as your claims:

> 2127 patients approached for participation, 155 met inclusion criteria as smoking 20 or more days per month.

2127 patients that are already in the ER, for various possible reasons. Invalid dataset.

> 155 met inclusion criteria as smoking 20 or more days per month. Among those surveyed, 32.9% (95% CI, 25.5-40.3%) met our criteria for having experienced CHS

This would mean, by their and/or your logic:

- that out of a "general population" dataset, 7% smoke >= 20 days a month, which on a side note absolutely conflicts with other statistics on weed consumption

- even if that was the case, there is absolutely no way to infer from ER patients back to the general population

- even if that was a valid line of thinking, it would imply that: Out of 35 million cannabis smokers, there are 23 million that smoke weed more than 20 days a month (right..), and since they claim that 33% of them seem to have experienced CHS, this would imply that around 7.5 million of 35 million smokers have potentially experienced CHS.

You know what that is? 21% of all cannabis consumers. I don't think so. Their logic is flawed. ER patients are not a neutral slice of the population. You have absolutely no way of inferring back to the general population without knowing how and how much the dataset is skewed. This also shows very clearly that even if the dataset is at least somewhat valid, their pre-selection and applied conditions are absolutely bogus and not suitable.

> In fact, you're introducing your own concocted bias, because you've limited the dataset to the ER visits and not the population.

The dataset IS limited to a group of patients in the ER, you knucklehead. That's what was used to generate the dataset in the first place. A subset of people they found in an ER. Exclusively. That's a bias that almost certainly invalidates the whole calculation. You also have no way of inferring back to the population from it.

> You're now suggesting that these situations aren't actually marjiuana-related at all, but instead some other drug overdose that the ER staff totally missed.

Because I wrote "overdose", and not "THC overdose" or "cannabis overdose"? Sorry man, but.. if anyone is trolling here, it must be you.
