>Who cares about heartbeat? It's not cardiovascular system that makes us humans; it's our minds.

Are people in a comma not human? Are people with severe mental disabilities less human than a regular person?

>When we declare someone clinically dead we measure their brain activity, not heartbeat. Why would you want to use a completely different criteria for this one case?

We have the term brain dead for a reason. It is distinct from the body being dead.

Do you believe people who are brain dead but "wake up" actually come back to life?

It is also different since we know, barring a medical issue (or an abortion) the baby will continue to grow and have a regular brain.

>There is a distinct DNA in a hydatidiform mole; it's growing and has human DNA. Does that make it a baby?

I don't know about this specific condition, so if it is strictly a genetic condition than I think it is a human.

I would say that humans are humans even if they have a fatal genetic condition. I don't think the medical situation of a person determines if somebody is a human.

>See, this argument of yours depends on one's lack of understanding of biology. It makes sense to a high schooler, but is immediately absurd to eg a nurse.

If that is the case then why do so many reputable biological text books and biologists state life begins at conception?

It also makes static checking undecidable in pathological cases. I know Idris has this problem as well; they work around it by skipping partial functions in types, so you end up with "total" and "partial" programs where only the former are completely typechecked proofs.
It does, but was only introduced more recently: https://ghc-proposals.readthedocs.io/en/latest/proposals/028...

Lenses are still more powerful as they can be composed. Consider your (and the record dot) syntax for having to modify alice.cart.items on one branch of the conditional and alice.cart.discount on another branch of the conditional.
The article lays out a lot of the problems with American projects, but doesn't do much to explain why European projects are able to manage a better track record. Are their unions weaker, or are their goals better aligned with the projects?

Also the article suggests eliminating National Environmental Policy Act(NEPA) provisions as a way of cutting red tape. I don't doubt that there's a lot of NEPA that ought to be revised, but we need to remember why these provisions were created in the first place. If we eliminate environmental impact studies rather than come up with a more efficient way to conduct them, we should expect that megaprojects will have unforseen environmental impacts. In some cases, local species will be driven to extinction, and in other cases the long term health of nearby people may be compromised. These risks may be worth the payoff, but we should be upfront about these risks and who could be affected.
I like Canopy but wish it wouldn't show unavailable movies in my region. I ended up uninstalling the app in frustration after, on several occasions, spending many minutes finding a movie that seemed interesting, only to learn it was region restricted when pressing play.
Correct me if I'm wrong but Safari already does, and long has done, the thing that people are objecting to Chrome changing: not allowing extensions to just hook into and pre-block requests, instead only allowing limited patterns to be set and matched against. uBlock Origin hasn't been available on Safari since it made this change several years ago.

So I don't know that seeing Safari as a bulwark against Chrome really makes sense here.
Many parts of US are mostly similar, with public defenders mostly privately employed but financed the goverbment.

Better Call Saul's Saul Goodman / Jimmy did this at the start of the series, and was paid pooorly.

In King County (Seattle, WA) this was the topic of a 2006 pay lawsuit that led to in 2013, the County taking over direct employment of the defenders.

0 is usually a 'valid' address. What is at that addr though can have some interesting bits that may or may not contain valid instructions/data. Now on some processors you can lock it out so it seg faults if you access it though.

Thank you for the amazingly quick fix!
Yes, for a surgeon. Scroll down to internal medicine, which is closer to who will be prescribing insulin, and note it's 8k to 50k. (No median or mean is given?)

I'm not at all shocked someone who cuts people open and removes or adds objects has a high liability insurance.

I have no source for this, but blaming medical system costs on liability insurance feels like a way of blaming the patients instead of the system. "If only greedy people were not trying to get rich quick off lawsuits."

A friend has worked in construction project management for almost 40 years, mostly in Texas. A few years ago, he moved to San Francisco to work on the Van Ness project, which was approved in 2003, began construction in 2017 (!), went $40 million over budget, and finally completed this year. The project essentially added a median and some bus lanes to a two mile stretch of road through San Francisco and took 19 years.

During his time in SF, no construction took place—so he told me he would essentially go into the office and do nothing while waiting for various city hearings to happen. After 8 months, he quit in frustration and moved back to Texas.
This doesn't have a whole lot to do with crypto really. The entities discussed in the article are all traditional investment funds who made some risky bets.
You can distinguish where a NULL pointer exception occurred by the program counter/instruction pointer. JIT'd code lives in particular memory regions (e.g. those explicitly mmap'd with PROT_EXEC) dynamically managed by the application. From there you may or may not care to examine the stack(s) for more specific details.

Alternatively, you could simply only enable NULL pointer handling around specific blocks of code where you're prepared to handle it, and disable it everywhere else (causing the kernel to simply kill the program). I've used this technique to elide explicit array overflow checks in some very performance critical code, dramatically increasing performance (there would have been at least as much overflow checks as semantic operations). None of the critical code used malloc/free or called into any libraries, so on SIGSEGV I would simply longjmp back to a safe place and either grow the data structures and reset the state, or return failed, depending on how large things had grown.[1]

The hard part of all of this isn't detecting where or even why a fault occurred--at least presuming you've architected things deliberately--but rather handling asynchronicity. If you have access to mechanisms like userfaultfd it's much easier, but it's doable on most systems. On most Unix systems threading primitives are NOT async-signal safe, but there are plenty of syscalls that are, and at least historically the semantics of Unix signal handlers were carefully defined to permit these sorts of tricks. It's a fine needle that needs to be threaded, but one that can done correctly nonetheless.

[1] Note that this wasn't accidental. I wrote the code very carefully this way. I had also worked on at least two projects before where someone tried to get clever and add SIGSEGV handlers to recover from code that was never designed to be recoverable, with predictably horrendous results (e.g. endless, time-wasting bug reports and "fixes").
> TypeScript's type annotations are really a DSL embedded into JavaScript. And they can, and, depending on the problem at hand, should be treated as such.

I think this is the key. If treated as you describe, meaning the advanced types are well-written, well-documented, and well unit-tested as if they are "true" code, then using them shouldn't be too much of an issue.

However, I think people often just assume that the types aren't "real" code and thus the normal concepts of good software engineering don't apply and type monstrosities which nobody can understand result.

Imagine if this code[0] wasn't well-documented, fairly clearly written, and also tested. It would definitely be a liability in a codebase.

In addition, the rules of how advanced TypeScript concepts work can be quite nuanced and not always extremely well defined, so you can end up in situations where nobody even _really_ understands why some crazy type works.

I guess the question becomes are Firefox and Safari (on iOS) the same browser, or different? I would still argue that Firefox is different (in the same way that Brave and Chrome are different), and that this title is misleading.
Their argument (which others have pointed out flaws with) is Safari is a security issue so Apple needs to open up.

I’m saying even if they’re right about security (which I doubt) the fallout will be so much worse we shouldn’t do it.

This is not something you can look at in a vacuum. There are serious ramifications to their suggestion and they need to be realized.
If you don’t want to be called ignorant of history, don’t spout obvious factual errors.

But of course you knew you were caught in an embarrassing error, because you edited you comment to remove the fact that you called nazis socialists.
Let unpack both of your points separate. Last point, first: I don't mind subsidizing the world to a degree. A lot of these are US companies or international pharma with substantial US presence. The US is a phenomenally wealthy country, and a healthy and stable world is in everyone's interest along with being a moral imperative. The balance of whom that is falling on is inequitable for various reasons within the US, though.

Back to your first point: this is exactly about companies charging crazy markups. Look at https://costplusdrugs.com/ for some examples of how bad it is.

Now, we all understand that R&D and studies for safety are necessary and expensive, and not every drug succeeds. Every successful drug pays those as amortized costs, it's not simply a matter of manufacturing and raw materials.

However, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Shkreli was a famous and egregious example vis a vis Daraprim of a common practice. Further, you have increases for non-elastic needs (insulin, epi-pens) that far exceeds increases to increases in manufacturing costs. Then you ones like Solvaldi that are just priced on the max the market will bear: https://www.fiercepharma.com/financials/gilead-prices-hep-c-... ... this is not all about recovering development and testing costs, obviously.
I have heard that China's social credit system isn't all that much different from what we've been developing here in the US, it's just more transparent. At least the person in China who can't board a train to travel knows why. We can have all the same oppression right here at home while our oppressors can boast about how free we all are, how they are empowering us with choices, and how grateful we should be for their benevolence.
That has already happened. manimino linked me to this great page on another thread on HN a few days ago: https://cookingflavr.com/should-you-feed-orioles-all-summer/ But consider that a particularly easy to detect version of the problem. Click some of the other links on that site and have a look. I especially suggest you click something on a topic you know nothing about.

I've been hitting these sites in searches accidentally more and more over the past few months. Goodness help you if you don't realize it's totally fake; some of what I've seen is dangerous, like, bad electrical advice being blithely generated by whichever exact transformer variant is spewing that stuff.
I ran 1000 cannabis strain prompts through AI
Aha! Yeah, I can agree with that.

I think the thing that people on HN don't think about or make explicit in this kind of argumentation is that there are certain amenities that folks prefer to have nearby, and they kind of miss the neighborhood for the houses, as it were.

It isn't necessarily the density itself driving the demand; it's often the reasonableness of, e.g., being able to send a child off to the post office or supermarket to run an errand. Therein lies the rub: Density tends to be a sufficient condition for enabling that.

That said, beyond a certain wealth stratum, none of this really winds up applying anyway, so it's less useful to talk about those folks would do.

No politician ever was embroiled in a scandal because they asked for too much feedback from their constituency. Expecting them to act counter to their interests is not very realistic, especially when you consider that the same NIMBYs who attend these meetings are the ones that vote in hugely disproportionate numbers. They might be a minority, but they have the time and the resources to use their political power and as such are very influential in modern policy.

I see almost all of our housing problems as direct descendants of the original sin of making it too hard to build and use structures. Any form of rent control is another form of NIMBYism, just this time with a progressive coat of paint.

This article has a bunch of cringeworthy prose, but has some worthwhile graphs of data showing that price-fixing isn't the answer:

https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2021-03-02/berlin...

https://www.npr.org/2019/03/29/707908952/the-evidence-agains...

Note that even very-progressive Jerusalem Demsas was once against rent control and has only switched sides as a palliative measure because fixing the root cause of the problem is proving too difficult.

Freakonomics also did a show on the topic:

Here's an article about the tax cuts, which happened in 2019:

https://www.outlookindia.com/business/sri-lanka-lost-around-...

Excerpts:

> [Finance Minister] Sabry told Parliament on Thursday that Sri Lanka lost about 500,000 taxpayers each in 2020 and 2021 after the ill-timed tax cuts were delivered.

> However, even before these tax cuts, Sri Lanka was a country with one of the lowest revenue-to-GDP ratios in the world, and the 2019 tax cuts drove Sri Lanka closer to the bottom of this list, the report said.

> Sabry on Wednesday had called the 2019 tax cuts a “historic mistake.”

It seems you would at least need to take this into account in any analysis of the causes of the current situation.
I understand where you're coming from.

I also understand that my library has a lot more data to make the decision than my feeling of guilt. There's no need to speculate. Email your library and ask them:

"Would you prefer I stream title X from Kanopy, or check out the DVD?"

And also ask

"Would you prefer I stream title Y from Kanopy, for which you don't carry the DVD?"

Feel free to provide the context, expressing concerns that it'll potentially cost them over $150, and you're worried that they are being abused by Kanopy.

If the library's not willing to tell me to prefer the DVD, then I'm not concerned.
Equally computationally powerful, but not necessarily equally powerful as type systems. "X is Turing complete" means that it can compute the same set of computations as any other Turing complete system, but it does not mean that it can accept inputs and produce results in an encoding relevant to what you're trying to do.
The Stanford article rings true to me as an alum. The justification for KA losing their housing was entirely unrelated to the Brock Turner case. He was not a member, he just happened to be attending the party.

My time predates most of the events of this article but the war on fun was well underway. Sentiment was that the frats in trouble at the time (kappa sig and SAE) largely deserved it, especially SAE, but there was a sense that anyone else could be next. The university values conformity over social life or even safety. The abrupt removal of the European theme houses without any justification pretty much confirms the former, the banning of hard alcohol and end of the "open door" drinking policy confirms the latter. The coops are probably next on the chopping block.

EDIT- Unrelated fun fact, there is tunnel underneath lake lag that the endangered salamanders and other wildlife can just to get to the other side of the road. This also creates an ambush point for local raccoons and coyotes to eat what comes out.
We're definitely not ready for production! Sorry if that was implied.

Disclosure: I love driving, even across the country.

That said, the freedom to drive is a publicly subsidized freedom, paid for at the expense of the taxpayer and enjoyed unevenly by the population. Society made a choice to build many roads. We could make the decision, too, to make rail and other public transit so ubiquitous, clean and affordable that the need to have a massive, costly and pollution-generating asset just to get to work and get groceries could be a thing of the past for more people.
+1 to the comment about using "nit:". I also don't think it's fair to block code changes for style/quality/whatever that is the same or better then the existing code base. If it's not making the existing codebase worse on average than don't block.

> If you do find a need to use type operations, please—for the sake of any developer who has to read your code, including a future you—try to keep them to a minimum if possible. Use readable names that help readers understand the code as they read it. Leave descriptive comments for anything you think future readers might struggle with.

Also, as you start getting complicated logic in your types, you need to test your types; make sure they admit things they should admit and reject things that they should reject. Ideally these tests can also serve some role as examples for your documentation.

It would have been good to see an x-y plot of living with parents vs. fertility. Eyeballing the maps he showed, I don't see a great correlation. Scandinavia has mediocre fertility compared to the rest of Europe, but the lowest percentage living with their parents. Other nations like Greece do satisfy his hypothesis, but a real test would be to plot those two percentages on an x-y plot and see how well they correlate (or calculate an R-squared, or both).
