The current SCOTUS seems to be fine with coaches coercing teenage athletes into public prayer sessions, overturning a previous SCOTUS ruling.

Meanwhile, I find it ironic that the same state enacting this "intellectual diversity" law has specifically banned teaching critical race theory in public schools.

A voluntary survey invites participation bias; respondents will likely skew heavily toward the "I feel I am being indoctrinated/I feel uncomfortable voicing my beliefs". The spirit of the law aside, this law looks like a lever to pull funding from universities where the median Floridian, who votes Republican, would feel like their views are being challenged.

I hard that in the recent book from the Howard brothers.

If you are under 18 there are all sorts of restrictions on hours worked, supervision, etc. So it is a lot easier to get a 18+ actor to play a 12-17 year old than someone the actual age.

Part of the reason child actors struggle to transition to adult roles. 3-4 year enforced gap in their career.

This is obviously only intended to be used on A roads. That you even tried it on C roads is a bit scary.

All it does is keep you from plowing into the car in front of you on the freeway. It also does a so so job helping you stay in your lane. Helping, not doing it all on its own.
You can't, but you can tell when the number of downvotes exceeds the number of upvotes.
The analogies to civil engineering are strained. Sure there is some truth to what you are saying, but also requirements for civil engineering projects tend to be more easily stated at a high level and are depending on the unchanging and unforgiving laws of physics plus some slowly growing list of available materials and construction processes. Everyone understands intuitively that bridges are expensive and you can't just change requirements on a whim without potentially blowing up the whole project and starting over.

Software on the other hand can be made to do anything, we can change it any time, and the technical requirements for scale and functionality are hard to predict ahead of time. Trying to apply civil engineering mentality to software results in a process that is too slow and gets beaten by hacker mentality every time.
Another way to be sort of honest is use letterhead that says "From the desk of Tom Cruise", that doesn't mean Tom Cruise wrote it just that it came from a desk he owns. The stamped signature is his approval of the message, sort of like when political ads say "I'm Bob Dole and I approved this message".
I have once used an app (forget name), which can track down clipboard updates. I uninstall the app mainly because I cannot go back to the "context", only knowing which app the data is from is not enough. For example, I copy a sentence from a chrome to word. There is no url for me to reopen the website.
It can also be useful to frame findings that rely on statistical analysis as evidence in favor or against some hypothesis, and not interpret them as falsifications.

The open source JS ecosystem, though, has soooooo many folks working on it that you can almost always find something you need. Certainly compared to something like Java, which has a couple "800 pound gorilla" projects, but then it falls off pretty quickly.

Of course, this is very much a double edge sword, with all the "leftpad" type dependency nightmares and security issues, as well as the "Hot new JS framework of the month" issues. Still, I think the dependency issues are solvable and dependency tooling is getting better, and the frameworks issue has calmed down a bit such that it's easy to stick to a couple major projects (e.g. React, Express) if so desired, but more experimental, cool stuff is always out there.
You're not expected to trust NIST. They write standards documents. It's up to cryptography researchers to formally verify and reason about the standards and for cryptosystem implementers to choose carefully based on available research.

Any trust you're going to put into an algorithm is going to have to come from downstream of NIST.
The difficulty of a task transcends mere mechanics.

A common analogy used in neurosurgery training: "Imagine a wooden plank on the driveway and walk its length -- no problem. Suspend that same board ten stories in the air and try again." The hard part is not the "figuring out" or "execution" but knowing the irreversibility and making the correct decision. Your patient expects you to be correct 10 times out of 10, yet you know that's not possible. Squaring our fallibility with the irreversibility of our missteps is the hard part, and what keeps surgeons up at night. The fly struggles in the web.
Absurd Trolley Problems
I'm a fan of Kailash Nadh's projects[1] and blog[2].

The CTO of such a large company takes his time to make little projects for fun and OSS, says a lot about how good the company's dev culture is.

I also find it amusingly wholesome that his GitHub about says "Hobbyist Developer" before "CTO @Zerodha".

He also volunteers at 2 Indian non-profits. What an amazing person!

It also forces you to keep a clean system, app logs are easy to find and consume nearly any way you want, and if a container from one developer isn't fitting your needs, it's usually super easy to drop in someone else's different container implementation of the same app with one config change (the repo name).

This is old news. A lot of these Android lock screen ad companies came and went in the early 2010s. I'm sure we'll see a few copycats pop up and die this decade as well.
There is also live camming, both group and one-on-one. This article only focused on one particular business model.
1. Security on a public wifi.

2. Playing games on the internet with creeps who will dig through IP logs for my location. Yes, they can fingerprint my device, but device is easier to change and safer than location info.

3. Tricking Netflix into thinking I'm in Australia so I can watch Rick & Morty.
Most people don't get enough vitamin D. It's probably good advice for everyone to take a little. Above average vitamin D levels have been shown to correlate strongly with many beneficial things, including covid resistance. Low levels correlate strongly with many negative health problems. Correlation does not imply causation, but after seeing some data and studies, I think I'd prefer to be on the above average side.

I personally have a theory that our skin color evolved to reflect optimal vitamin D absorption. People living in tropical areas where they get more sun have darker skin, which blocks vitamin D but protects from the harmful affects of the sun, where lighter skin has the opposite trade off. If getting enough vitamin D was important enough to literally affect natural selection to change our skin color, it must be very important.

I also learned that furry animals like cats obviously can't absorb it through their skin since it is blocked by fur, but when they lick their fur grooming after sun bathing, they consume it orally from the oils in their fur.

Of course too much of anything is bad, 150,000 IU per day is an insane amount, that would literally be 150 pills of the 1,000 iu variety, which I personally take maybe 1 a day if I don't forget (as I was advised by a doctor).

What does CNN mean by this being a "cautionary tale for people who are considering adding supplements to their lives". Why don't we just encourage people to take some but not too much, and not treat people like they're too dumb to figure it out. To be fair, the article does point out that a daily dose is recommended for most people.

Hmm, just need to fork it and call it "Nopilot" (though personally I find Copilot to be sometimes handy, it makes plausible guesses when I am doing something repetitive, I'm sure that's because my code isn't DRY enough etc. but it saves me a little time)
I'm ashamed to admit that I just rinse out my hario v60 with a quick rinse and only clean the grinder about once a year. There is very little cleanup.
I saw the same doctor between the ages of 11 and 27. He owned his own practice in California.

The experience at the modern healthcare network is just not the same.

I understand the need for hospitals to go the corporatized route, but I think corporatization of family practice has significantly degraded the experience for patient and doctor

Sure you do have a real choice.

Simply only use the Apple app store and you will have the same phone you had before.
As a a vet I think this author's limited experience is a bit out of date.

In the veterinary industry, medical management is always influenced by costs. Just yesterday I had to deal with a blocked cat. Gold standard treatment costs thousands of dollars and the owner only had $200. You not only have to take into account the hospital costs, but how the owner can manage their pet at home for ongoing care too. Costs are one of the main stressors in the industry (there's plenty of Ted Talks on the high suicide rate), and commonly owners shift their responsibility by blaming vets as "money grabbers" or who are only "in it for the money".

Thankfully insurance is quite common now (depending on the area) and with less financial restraint on costs we are able to do more advanced treatments. We have specialists referral daily and even recently had a brain surgery on a dog. This would have been very rare in the past and the limited opportunity to perform complex treatments like this hinders how much data we can collect and learn from this.

You do have old-school vets or those in rural clinics who would be happy to do every treatment under the sun. But being a 'jack-of-all-trades' is unrealistic when each sub-field is rapidly expanding in knowledge, and most younger vets (especially in big cities) are more than happy to refer to specialists (and avoid risk of complaints), unless of course the owner cannot afford to do so.
This plus sometimes I get tunnel vision for sitting there too long. I end up missing an obvious solution because I get to caught up in hacking towards a goal.

Pomodoro technique helped for a while, until it was interrupting actual work. Now I take breaks when I remember I need a break.
Today, fusion power is not workable. We have no idea if or when it will be.

"Let's carry on as-is until fusion works" is "don't worry, we'll put wings on the bus" in Doctorow's terms. By all means, let's continue fusion research. But we should also urgently work on some other angles just in case.
I agree with everything you just wrote about influences. =)

But, I think we read the article a lot differently. I didn't feel the author meant to claim that anime was the only influence, or even the biggest influence, on western animation. Certainly, I'd agree with you that such a claim would be junk.

From the article:

Pixar, and by extension Hollywood 3D animation, is
attached to anime at the root.

This is probably the strongest claim and also... kind of the weirdest and most ambiguous.

If they said "anime is the root of blahblahblah", that's a pretty unambiguous (and blatantly wrong IMHO) claim.

But what does, "western animation is attached to anime at the root" even mean? Are we saying that one grew from the other? Are there also lots of other things attached to these roots? It's sloppy writing.

However, taken in context, I think the author has a reasoned and informed view. The influence of anime is darn near universal, although I think that's definitely not to say that it is the biggest or only influence.

The author doesn't address all of the things that influence anime, such as western animation. Which is fine. That's a big topic in and of itself. Would have added another zillion words. I think they made the correct choice.

None of the 90s directors' films in the article
have that much to do with anime besides The Matrix

I always felt The Matrix borrowed more from John Woo-type HK live action movies than anything else. Second on the list for me would be video games or maybe Neuromancer-style classic hard cyberpunk. Or PK Dick. Or... probably a few more other things before anime.
> I wish poets understood that the general population has no interest in what we do, so when we speak we are speaking only to each other.

I think to some extent the second part is responsible for the first: Poetry took a hard turn with Modernism and has become increasingly academic and bound up with academia ever since*. It's barely meant for other people anymore, and when it is, academics are often dismissive or outright hostile. Strange that anyone could disagree with Dani Rose's comment, let alone attack her over it.

* I'm a lapsed academic and my field was Modernism. Love the stuff, but am under no illusions about the readership of, say, Ezra Pound.
Used to use that a few years ago and it worked pretty well--you can also set it as a credential helper in your AWS config.

Just an FYI it's no longer supported and it looks like the fork has gone stagnant, too.
TikTok Admits Its China-Based Employees Can Access US User Data
If you are going to write on Mac software, at least use a web page that can fit on a 15" MacBook Pro without using a tiny font.

Disney got Star Wars for 4B, Star Wars merch is pretty much one of the most iconic and most sought out merch out there, the movies with some exceptions have been financial hits, they have had some good video games on console/PCs and they also have some mobile games that I believe would be raking in the sweet lootcrate money, the theme park attractions no doubt attract many, the Mandalorian was a critical and commercially sucessful show, and it seems despite the dip in quality in their other live action shows, the viewership has only increased.

He’s definitely aware of it. I’ve seen him comment on issues related to NixOs before.

The term “VPN” has become a bit overloaded. It can mean, among other things:

1) a corporate VPN you connect to in order to gain access to corporate resources. Cisco AnyConnect, OpenVPN, IPsec/L2TP are examples of this type.

2) An overlay network that allows seamless (and secure) access to systems on disparate networks. Wireguard (and thus Tailscale), ZeroTier are examples of this type.

3) A way for individuals to obscure their internet traffic by tunneling it to a VPN provider. Mullvad, PIA, Nord are examples of this type.

All of the sponsorships you see are from companies in category #3. It is my opinion that there are very few circumstances where using a VPN (#3) is useful or needed. HTTPS is ubiquitous, and browsers have various mechanisms for MitM prevention and other anti-spoofing/anti-tampering mechanisms. Taken together, these provide a high degree of protection that wasn’t necessarily as widely-deployed just a handful of years ago - a time when using a VPN was more useful.

Are there situations where using a VPN (#3) is warranted? Yes, for sure. However, these content creators who are taking sponsor money from VPN providers are doing their viewers a disservice by making them think they need a VPN. 99% of the public does not, and should not waste their money on it.
This idea of localization as code has significant history from Perl: https://perldoc.perl.org/Locale::Maketext::TPJ13

Currently Mozilla Fluent seems like a good compromise implementation. The type checking is maybe not as advanced, but it is intended to be compatible with the tools most often used in localization to enable translators to handle all the data and organize the task. Very straightforward getting generated localized strings to agree in number, tense, gender, and so on.
I honestly don't understand why translation libraries work with JSON of all things. In a typical pipeline translators work with excel sheets and word documents not code.

> I was rewatching earlier seasons of Buffy The Vampire Slayer, and it's hilarious that the character Xander Harris(0) was perceived as a scrawny high school nerd.

Uh, except he wasn't perceived as scrawny, and was a jock-adjacent slacker, almost an anti-nerd.
Idly curious, did this HN post originally reference a different article? Your link is the same as the post.
Salary Negotiation Strategy
It’s almost like paying for intimacy is a poor substitute for real-life love with a human being.
Don't do it. I did. It didn't improve my life. It did make it harder. Have kids if you want them. Don't if you don't. Don't ask the internet to tell you why you should or shouldn't have kids. I'd do it again and I have my reasons, which are very personal.

For what it's worth:

* My wife is the primary caretaker and doesn't have a paid job. I split as much of the parental load with her as possible.

* My grandparents pretty much all sucked and so do my kids'. They're fine. We do the child rearing and occasionally have a date, so we hire a babysitter.

* What increase? We've expanded the scope of autism and are better at detection. This feels like a wild claim.

* Is it? Or are pockets overpopulated? I don't think saving the planet (or continuing to destroy it) is as much a matter of population control as it is behavior. Kids skew more liberal than their parents, on average. Maybe they can unscrew this.

But seriously, don't do it. It doesn't sound like you want to or you wouldn't be looking to have your mind changed. For some people it's everything and for some it's genuinely a mistake that can't be undone. If you think it might be a mistake, stop.
In America and Europe, yes. Landlines are still being used elsewhere.
Did NIST get help from the NSA on these? Wink wink nudge nudge…
watching every single episode was a priority, because if you miss one, it could be years until you had another chance to see it.

Oh my god, yeah. The S1 and S2 finales of Star Blazers were huge annual events for me for a few years as a small kid.

Robotech was even tougher because there were so many episodes, since it was three totally different series stitched together hahaha. You miss one, you're waiting a looooong time.

I don't have direct exposure but this is a highly commoditized industry with tons of competition. I imagine profits are razor thin for most providers.
With good checking of types and this should not be such a problem. Most languages restrict themselves to letters, accents, and punctuation so that programming syntax and use of symbols can be detected and flagged.
Ah ic, are they jittery in the sense that they’re skipping/dropping frames or moving unexpectedly fast?
99% access my home network remotely, but that's not really the use case of VPN services that get promoted. If I used those it would be 99% dodging geo restrictions, but I'm not motivated enough to do that.

Speaking as a compiler developer: compilers for standard languages make no attempts to guarantee constant-time properties, nor to provide any primitives that can be used implement constant-time guarantees. Indeed, the developers are likely to be moderately hostile to proposals to add such primitives--it is a pretty different beast if you're worrying about constant-time.

As such, if you're using a standard compiler for a language to implement a constant-time guarantee, you need to be doing verification of the resulting assembly to make sure that it actually is constant-time. If you're not doing that, or you're not verifying the generated assembly itself, your constant-time guarantee is not worth the paper it's printed on. Even if it's not even printed on any paper.

I am suspicious of the lack of tech data. If this has had 5 years of development, surely they have file patent applications whose date will establish their a prioris' . Other aspects make me suspect a second world scam.
I have read about batteries based on sodium that might become mature and work, but will work with a lower half cell potential - which lower voltage ruins their low cost advantage?

Not only that, NIST says:

> Overall assessment. One important feature of NTRU is that because it has been around for longer, its IP situation is more clearly understood. The original designers put their patents into the public domain [113], in addition to most of them having expired.

> As noted by the submitters, NTRU may not be the fastest or smallest among the lattice KEM finalists, and for most applications and use cases, the performance would not be a problem. Nonetheless, as NIST has selected KYBER for standardization, NTRU will therefore not be considered for standardization in the fourth round.

https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/ir/2022/NIST.IR.8413.pdf

"NTRU is obviously legal and perfectly suitable, but we're not picking it." I find this to be a baffling position given the as-yet-unsolved patent issues with KYBER.

I hate that 2) is a thing, especially if you have a console that just does P2P matchmaking assisted by the server for NAT punching. My friends that play CoD or similar quite literally get attacked off the internet for winning rounds at least every single night they play more than an hour or so, it's that low of a bar of entry.
That's a very ivory towerish take. Most people know full well what the difference is between opinion and fact. They just choose to ignore it as it suits their purposes better. The big difference in terms of left and right politically in the US is that the right will buy into abhorrent behavior if it ultimately gets them what they want, while the left would still rather lose even if it costs real lives to pass their purity test.
