I can't think of a single thing that I've ever said at work (since leaving the restaurant industry, that was a different sort of scene) that even taken in the most uncharitable way, could be edited or taken out of context in such a manner that would make me legally responsible for anything, or even be embarrassing.

I discuss work at work. I have no reports. I don't hire anyone. I'm a happily married man so I don't engage in flirting or anything that even appears not to be above board. I don't drink or go to holiday parties.

I live my life in public like someone is always recording, because even if they aren't they can just say "Will said...." and likely be believed anyway.
Well, not so fast. Blockchain is a technology. You are clearly against some of the _applications_ built on top of the blockchain — and I would agree with you that many of them (albeit hopefully not all of them) are scams. You shouldn't generalize, though.

The blockchain still has merits as a concept, and the idea of distributed ledgers does make sense in some applications — just not as many as we're trying to round peg-square-hole into it.
I find the wording of "pro life" and "pro choice" in polls problematic and doesn't necessarily correlate with view points on roe vs wade. In particular "pro life" doesn't directly address if abortion should be legal.

I know several people that are "pro life" in the sense that they would not get an abortion themselves. They call themselves "pro life". But they also don't try to restrict the choices of others and don't think abortions should be illegal.
even then, why does it cost 28k PER YEAR, for photos of product images? Can't you just spend a week in a market taking product photos yourself?

You're so obsessed with turning "progressive" into a derisive term that you're not being consistent with it.

> You can take the bums off the street (and put them in shelters) and your city will get a lot better. It's just very unpopular with progressives,

Progressives are absolutely for building more low income housing, and making it available to street bums.

It's conservatives who fight 1/ building low income/subsidized housing, 2/ putting that housing in any neighbourhood where they might be in.

I don't know what happened in the 80s, or where the bums went. Maybe they all were shipped off to California, where it's warm, and now HN posters complain about IT'S progressive policies.

Maybe they all died and nobody in the 80s cared but now they do.

Either way, the economic forces that led to them being created in the first place never were fixed, so there is a steady supply of new bums throughout America. Why? What is Europe able to do to keep those people at bay that America isn't?

It's interesting how you can condescendingly say "took these covariates into account" without even thinking about how many outside variables there are that they simply cannot take into account because there are obviously too many. Most people don't think too much and just read articles and take anything in writing as the truth.
Absolutely. This article is reminiscent of the type of brief tutorials from the mid/late 90s in QBASIC newsletters introducing how to use ASM to get speed gains, with all the associated assumptions. The concept of "lowercase" breaks down terribly once you go beyond simple A-Z. You can apply similar rules to certain limited code sets, but a universal tolower() won't work so well with this method.

The problem with fintech is it is about integrity, and cashing out on integrity is generally counterfactual. Like cashing out on Idealism. Well if it's strictly cash, it can be done, like if there's no interest in prostitution of the resources, merely a form of liquidity and cooperation, yes.

But to buy a Lamborghini? Only with an excellent, satisfying reason.[1] Like anything. Are you a man who wants to have sex with a girl who is underage? You can, if you marry her. But she's not an adult, so there's no possibility of a prenuptial agreement, you can marry her if you can accept that.

Yeah they're literally cribs, not masochists like a real man ie fasting and running track and field. That's exactly what they are, cribs for babies. And then, on a recurring reddit post, they tell you all those cribs you saw were fake, when really many of them were real--telling you on blogs that "only Red Man's crib was his true living conditions"--just pulling the rug under you. They filmed actual places, they were all different, they didn't have the tech to fuck with that back then. Yeah they rented some houses for a week, but those houses were still meant to be cribs for babies. And it's a demonic show--a demonic channel--yeah it looks like MTV is beautiful but...no yeah suppose they're beautiful, that's the fastest way to learn what's up.
> The qualia of other sentients is forever closed […] neither of us can assert as scientific fact […] that's just a religious belief […] One theory of sentience […] speculate about the source of sentience […]

You seem under the belief that there is an absolute assignment of adjectives to entities, whose true value is to be speculated. There is not. Assignment of adjectives is subjective. “Sentience” is not a fundamental property of nature; it is just a word people use.

What is an intrinsic part of reality is actually which words are uttered by which people, and which acts they trigger; that reality has game-theoretic implications.

> "It's common knowledge" is not an argument. "Everyone agrees" is not an argument.

I am talking about epistemic common knowledge: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_knowledge_(logic)

> a non-sentient AI could exhibit the trait of self-preservation

That is anthropomorphizing a rock. Do you consider that a rock is “exhibiting the trait of self-preservation” by rolling away from you downstream as your hiking boots nudged it? Did our sense of self-preservation come about like this rock’s?

Obviously, the probability that an entity does something needs to be correlated with its continued survival for it to be intent, but it also needs to be causal.
I believe that typescript type system is so flexible, powerful and complex just because it had to be adapted and built around the shortcomings and limitation of javascript. It makes no sense to have something like it if you build a language from the ground up (or if you could just scrap backward compatibility in a bad designed one)
Apparently, the new baseline Mac is built with a NAND flash chip that's twice as dense as the previous model.

The M1 256GB SSD has both channels populated, each with a 128GB NAND stack. The new M2 has only a single channel populated.

Speculation is that supply-chain issues forced Apple to go with this slower design at the 256GB configuration.

Ask HN: How do you network with other developers?
The rare occasions I interact with other developers, I tend to leave with a few new ideas and/or tools to add to my workflow. However, these conversations are pretty hard to come by since I work remotely and my company is relatively small. How do you handle networking and natural conversation with other developers / engineers?
The system was engineered to incorporate both loops and spurs, and it's encoded in the numbering system:

I think most folks know that 2-digit interstates with an even first digit are east-west, and with an odd first digit are north-south.

But 3-digit interstates exist too. An even first digit means it's a loop around a city (like I-475 around Flint), and an odd first digit means it's a spur into downtown. (I-375 into Detroit). These numbers can be reused, for instance there's another I-375 in Florida.

I think the argument here is that the _default_ should've been to loop around cities.

>For instance, 'My Body, My Right' could also be a slogan for allowing very late-term abortions.

That's part of the challenge. A non trivial portion of the pro-choice camp do in fact support unrestricted late term abortions.
You need to fill out the highest tier, as that opens up mid-tier housing for lower paying renters. Otherwise it pushes the highest-paying renters into the mid-tier housing stock, raising the prices for all below.

I've often asked, what defines a human life? It's a fairly difficult question when trying to be consistent with other areas of life. The viability standard before was pretty good.

Many Chinese property firms are distressed now, it remains to be seen how it ends.

Here's an Evergrande bond that's trading at a 90% loss, implying chance of total failure/default is quite high:
https://markets.businessinsider.com/bonds/china_evergrande_g...

Of course, the Chinese government has a lot of power to try to socialize the losses and salvage things. When you have a spiderweb of liabilities that are jointly depended on, it's difficult to intervene and find a clean resolution, despite the gov having the authority to do so
Also you could agree with the supreme court overturning Roe vs Wade but also firmly believe that women should have the right to have an abortion.

(i.e. You could support women getting abortions, but also believe that this should be determined democratically at the level of the state)

This is why things are much more nuanced than simple soundbites can manage to handle!

There's a whole attack paper on how excessive writes can be harmful, so I suspect trying to reduce them is better than nothing:

https://www.usenix.org/system/files/conference/hotsec12/hots...

(I'm not an EE expert by any stretch, but that paper cites several peer reviewed wear leveling techniques.)

The REAL issue, based on my (amateur) reading, is that the components that handle wear leveling are not open source:

>In all cases commercially available flash controllers provide no details of the internal mechanisms that are used to extend life, as such details remain the competitive advantage in a crowded market space

We are sitting around trying to make inferences about proprietary, unpublished algorithms that have very real effects on people, not just property, when what we probably want is for industry to collaborate on figuring out which techniques work best rather than hoarding that knowledge and forcing folks to get burned once or twice or pay exorbitant amounts of money for research grants to infer what purchasing decisions to make.
isnt the first one good for everything, why even bother with the other options?
Just make it a civil matter instead of criminal, where the state itself is not one of the litigants. Ta-da! What Constitution?
> whether it is really just your body, or whether it is two bodies

Not really. That’s a pseudo-philosophical framing that anti-abortionists prefer, because it hides the real world consequence of their little thought experiment: forcing women to carry unwanted pregnancies, and to raise unwanted children.

“One vs two body” is little more than semantics. Fact is, carrying pregnancies and raising the resulting child is the heaviest burden that a citizen can ever carry for the state. The state has no way to adequately compensate the citizen for such service, so instead they offer the freedom of choice. That’s the implicit social contract behind abortion policies; it’s got nothing to do with anyone’s metaphysical interpretation of a pregnant woman’s anatomy.

DNS labels are limited to some ASCII characters. UTF support in DNS is available via punycode which is an encoding from UTF onto that restricted ASCII set acceptable for DNS. Libraries as the ones discussed here typically perform UTF to punycode conversions before doing any label comparisons to ensure accuracy. In particular this tolower implementation would likely be used against the punycode encoded version of the UTF domain.

>protect the DB

I share this sentiment. The apps will come and go, the real value is in the data. If the database can cover its ass, I am less concerned about ham-fisted developers randomly messing it up with ill-conceived DML. It's not that they are malicious...it just happens. I have seen devs that code in Erlang, Haskell and even Assembly...run in terror at doing some SQL. It's weird. Trust but verify. And hire persnickity, passionate DBAs.
It's not very expensive as your note implies. This is probably all you need for most analytic projects. Well, plus a couple replicas in case the first one catches on fire.
The first one, the $ is redundant if braces required. Multi-line could be triple quoted. SQL, that one I'm not so sure.
I know that the "spacex package tesla roadster 2.0" is a running Elon hype joke, but the discussed thrusters would be revolutionary in extreme car design. Fan cars can only suck downward, but thrust vectoring would be a whole different ballgame: it can push down, directly thrust, push counter to the g force in a tight curve, brake faster.

Thrust vectoring could serve as a safety system to dynamically produce downforce in case a high speed car starts to go airborne, can counter spin-outs, etc.
It's also possible to be pro-choice and agree with Roe vs Wade being overturned.

The whole point from OP though is just that nuanced debate isn't possible in a world where soundbites rule.
> How can you ensure that a school is either a college or high_school but not both?

Do you have any real world scenarios where you've faced this problem?

In your example, you wouldn't model it like that. A school just needs an attribute that identifies the type of school (high school or college), and other attributes that would be common to both.

I'm sure there's lots of examples but it's late and I'm struggling to think of one that a good normalized data model couldn't handle.

I slept through political science, but I'm awake enough to notice that what's been going on in other contexts lately is that a state will pass a law (constitutional or not) and just start acting on it.

For its constitutionality to be challenged, it has to be escalated all the way to the Supreme Court. This can take years, does not happen for free, and in the end, the trolls who sit on the Supreme Court retain the right to refuse to hear it.

The system appears to be very broken.
> I assume some of those supporters are along similar social policies lines for this.

There's only 100 senators, and of those senators, the majority is just "50" (because the vice president is a tie breaker), and in that majority, at least one senator, if not two, live in heavily red states and don't always agree with their democratic colleagues. But, even barring that, the filibuster rules make it difficult to pass anything, even with a majority, because you actually need enough votes for a cloture vote to stop debate.

Technically speaking yes, we could just pass legislation at the federal level to solve a lot of issues. Practically speaking, passing legislation at the federal level has been a complete challenge for both parties in recent times. When Trump was president, a coordinated effort called SwingLeft systematically secured a majority in the House specifically to win legislative control, for example. It is likely that in the next election cycle, a similar effort will occur due to redistricting, which will likely give the house to the republican party, thus making legislation equally difficult (because the president is a democrat, congress will be republican or deadlocked). If you go back far enough, this is the type of thing that stymied Obama. I don't know if it happened with Bush, but it's relatively easy to, for lack of a better term, deadlock congress because of its unique election rules and vote distributions.

Were it so easy.

Good to read that some are actually using MongoDB to their benefit. Indeed I have encountered problems with durability in the wild. Nothing, that I would like to repeat. But as always for a specific use case the answer is: it depends. For a general advice with what to start a new project I would select PostgreSQL in 10 out of 10 cases, if a database server is actually required.
In fact the code that I left out of the blog post does almost exactly what you suggest :-) It’s the “load 5 bytes” and “store 5 bytes” that I don’t have a good solution for. At the moment I am using memmove() and relying on the compiler developers to have better ideas about optimizing it than I do… The bottleneck comes from the number of instructions and the branchiness, not the data bandwidth.

C++ gets new features regularly because there is a comitte whose job is to do that.

The same was true of OpenGL until they moved on to Vulcan, and they seem to be getting the idea that things dont really have to change so much. Or maybe they're just shifting to making other "standards" instead.

To me Rust is more of a toolchain development at this point, where language features are added where it makes sense rather than being a goal.
