Not sure why you're accusing me of lying, I just said that there are companies working on this.

I think the key thing here is that while eliminating 100% of animal testing is an ambitious -- and perhaps ultimately unreachable -- goal, data and computer simulations can make testing more effective.

If you use data to prioritize animal tests, or in some cases conclusively predict if some test won't any have value (e.g. the dosing is toxically high or ineffectively low) then that is a win. Both in terms of reducing animal tests, and in terms of speeding up drug development and making it less costly.
Is there a link to the study anywhere? I'm curious what kind of "internal network" survives removing 17 people while being more productive.

Certainly some do. But it means very very different things if their network was closer to 20 people or 200+.

Sure there undoubtedly many false claims made against police, that does not mean there are not many valid ones, and In all of the most egregious, proved (full video - no question of the facts) cases of misconduct (often times when the video comes out way later), how often was it that another police officer was the whistle blower, filed a report or complaint, or challenged the initial false narrative? I’m aware of few if any examples. If the police can’t be forthright when they are clearly wrong, they lose the presumption of trust.

This will not work, at least not if we’re talking PII as it is defined by a Somewhat Sane (TM) privacy legislation.

Sure, passwords and credit card info is obscured with your methodology, but names, dates of birth, sexual orientation, telephone numbers, email and ip will remain unique. This uniqueness is what allows you to potentially identify a person given enough data.
Your explanation doesn't really distinguish high-level human play (not obvious cheating) from engine play (obvious cheating). There are probably plenty of games in which your first 20 moves (or 5-10 for me) are in GM databases and evaluated favorably by the engine, ass a 2200 you're probably booked up pretty well. But you know computer moves aren't so common in openings; they're much more common in complex middlegames and late games when the computer can calculate more combinations that we can and is able to produce lines that break intuition and principles but are strictly best.

bizarre to see strident, demanding stances among the replies since it is war but no mention of continuous public interest for thirty+ years to transition away from fossil fuels, discounted or ignored. No mention of efficiency anywhere to be found? "nega-watts" is from the 1970s. The current energy mix and its real-politik fossil fuel investors is taking down the biosphere harder than any regional firefight IMHO.

I will say that at least Notion is a decent enough Markdown editor. I recall I had some small gripes with how they use forward-slash for commands, and probably some other stuff I've forgotten by now but it's certainly functional.

It looks like it was designed to target the Google docs crowd of non-technical people in PM or other leadership roles where its minimalism combined with directory organization and file flexibility are desirable. In this sense I'm not _too_ surprised to see my technical friends ignore it, since there are so many tools in this niche already (Github wikis come to mind as an alternative for documenting various decisions, challenges, implementations, etc). I guess the real flaw with these sorts of products is that they're tools that are treated as solutions. There's no real need to add another tool to a org stack if what's working already isn't broken, and doing so obviously won't guarantee a massive increase in "productivity". You can document the shit out of blockers but at the end of the day someone with knowledge is still going to have to step in and help. This moreso goes for clickup and monday.com, though, which advertised the shit out of the Boston and NYC subways (clickup did a terrible job, I never really found out what they were until I googled it some months later and found it was yet another PM suite and I don't even recall what they're UI looks like).

Also, it's kinda absurd to me that notion feels the need to have both a certification program as well as a list of "certified consultants" who are "productivity experts and solutions architects". David Graeber would probably feel vindicated/depressed.

Compare to coal (that seems to be the tradeoff in Germany) nuclear energy kills 820x more people per produced energy unit. 820x the number of human lives lost.

C02 emissions are about 250x higher

It very much matters over the timespan of several decades. That is enough time in which many more nuclear power plants could have been brought online. Just because Germany made the gross error of not building out enough nuclear power to provide for their needs doesn’t mean it is impossible.
I'm talking about the reality and in the real world the solution you propose does not exist. For some reasons stablecoins do not seem to be used outside few online exchangers.I can't find them available at the local atm.

Cisco is not a SSD manufacturer. They write industry-wide bug. Does that mean that more than one SSD manufacturer is affected (because they use partially the same firmware)? Further down they mention only Sandisk.
Or is the industry-wide just their newspeak for saying any Sandisk of affected model, regardless whether installed in a Cisco box or somewhere else?

It seems irrational because that's not what's happening.

Those power plants can't be run next winter.

Contracts have been terminated, replacement parts with long lead times haven't been ordered, maintenance windows have been shifted in anticipation of the shutdown. It's possible to write new contracts and order new parts, so they could be back in operation, maybe sometime late in 2023.

But that would still leave them them down precisely in the period that matters most: Next winter.

>doing business with [Nazi Germany] during the war

it is often forgotten that this is exactly what the US did for the first 2-3 years of the war. Germany swallowed up the wealth of Europe. Britain had already swallowed up the wealth of a quarter of the world. the US swallowed up both of their wealth and ended the war with 2/3 of the world's gold

this is a simplification, but it's also huge overarching story of WW2 that is often missed. people know the US and Russia became the world's two superpowers, but there's very little attention paid as to how the US came to be one of them
At the moment it seems that the CO2 problem is more pressing and of greater magnitude than the problem of nuclear waste. It sounds like a relevant tradeoff.
There are people who’s sense of self-confidence is so fragile that they cannot allow themselves the possibility of losing or feeling “lesser than” in any context.

And yet we’re all still here and given the number of nuclear power plants and how long we’ve been using them compared to the tiny number of accidents it shows that it is truly the safest form of large scale power generation.

I suppose that what you’d have to do is change the data and then hash it. But once you’ve changed the data it’s no longer PII, so there’s no reason to hash it.

Of course, given enough data that has been changed can potentially allow you to deduce how that data was changed and thus revert it, at which point it would become PII again and you’d have a problem… but that’s probably a fringe scenario

I got into Lichess myself about a year ago, after not really having played much chess in the past 20 or 20 years. Oddly enough, it was people on HN who persuaded me to give online chess a chance. I'd never bothered previously, as I couldn't see how you would ever know the other player wasn't getting their moves from a chess app. HNers persuaded me to give it a go because Lichess had algorithms in place which detected cheating.

Having now played nearly 2000 games on Lichess, I'm pretty happy with their ability to weed out cheaters. I've very rarely had cause to suspect my opponent wasn't playing fair. Maybe once or twice someone with a lower ranking than me seemed to be a bit too good --but then we all have our flashes of inspiration, as well as our off days.

However, on a couple of occasions, I've logged onto the site to see a notification that I've had some ranking points restored, as a previous opponent had cheated. But, unfortunately, Lichess doesn't tell you which opponent or which game, so I'm still none the wiser.

PS: Agree with you about the people who run the clock down, when they're losing. Really annoying. When this happens, I usually switch to another browser tab and read intarwebs instead, switching back to the Lichess tab every 5 mins or so, to see if they've made a move yet.
Nuclear waste, as far as I have been learning, is pretty "safe". Yeah, you need a place to deal with it, but it's mostly highly shielded solids.

It is also a lot safer today if new reactors are built. The problem are the old reactors need to be shut down because they're based on older designs. We need to start building Pebble Beach reactors where even if there is a containment break, safe small carbon balls with a thin sliver of fissile material just spill out on the floor. These spread out and reduce their combined temperate averting a meltdown. Individually the balls themselves are not dangerous, they're lukewarm and could be held in the hand (not that you would). I think there are some even newer designs that go beyond this in safety. The problem with the anti-nuclear argument is that it is based on the old rod reactors like the one that failed in Fukushima prefect, Chernobyl or 3 mile island. Of course we shouldn't run those older models anymore. You need to start building the new safer reactors before you begin shutting down the old ones so you can logistically switch, however. Instead we're unfortunately heading for a future where we eventually just shut down these old reactors for safety without a real plan for replacing them. Or, we keep running the old models until they become the very cautionary tale that makes everyone nervous about nuclear.
Because that's just a lightweight version of an old technology. No new value is being added here. Had this watch provided, say, some smartwatch features mechanically (such as an analog heart monitor, or an analog altimeter etc) I might have found it interesting despite the technology still being old. This feels like just a flex on contemporary manufacturing capabilities. They just spent more money than everyone else.

>Doesn’t this position rest on the premise that the public education system is “broken”?

It is turning out kids who can hardly read and add. What we are doing is broken. It is possible that a change could occur that would fix the public system, but that hasn't happened yet.

>Here’s a premise for public education: Continuous investment and incremental improvement will yield better outcomes than starting from scratch, particularly where starting from scratch means providing a mechanism for public education funds to be funneled into private enterprise.

Please let us know what incremental improvement you are suggesting? Just saying let's make things better by making them better doesn't add anything to the conversation.

>Setting aside the practical barriers for families to individually navigate providing quality non-public education for their children, which are substantial, this kind of approach introduces a whole range of new risks.

I agree. I think we need to have standards and regulations around this. I am not sure if this specific bill will provide that or not.

>If a family with five children is facing poverty, loss of housing, and financial instability, it might start to look appealing to take those five kids and sign them up for homeschooling so that the funds can be used for some education and for survival.

I don't think that would be good. I imagine you can't spend this money on a mortgage and there would be validation to ensure it doesn't happen. If the bill allows abuse like this then a new bill should be passed banning it.

>Those aren’t the kinds of risks that financially secure families will ever have to face.

I think keeping poor kids in a crappy school where they will come out barely able to read will continue generational poverty and is a risk of the current school system.

I think film and television has had an effect on people’s aesthetics, especially in the home. Set design is cheaper when there’s nothing in the house, nothing ornate. Large, spacious and uncluttered makes for an easier shoot to fit all the people in. Uncluttered also means each shoot of the same scene is consistent, and ensures the eye is focusing on the action rather than unimportant details.
>my solution certainly isn’t putting a private corporation in charge with no oversight that citizens have direct access to. Some things really are a public good, and schools are on that list.

You can have nonprofits running schools as well. They don't have to be trying to maximizing profits. I agree good schools are a public good. Unfortunately, many public schools have been failing at that. Like I said, I don't know if this will succeed, but what we are doing now is not.

The government can also continue running public schools so if you don't think a private school will provide a good education you can avoid sending your kids there.

Unlike the current situation with public schools, private schools will lose students if they are bad.

I don't think they should have no oversight and as far as I know this bill will require some level of oversight. Perhaps more is required. I am not opposed to additional oversight.

>we know how to have good public schools. it involves teachers that are well paid with a strong union behind them, for a start, which is another thing that corporations are historically bad at tolerating.

If that is the case then why are the results so mixed after pay raises and increases to funding?

I don't think doubling the teachers' salaries will fix the issue. I think there has been a change in our culture that doesn't value an education. Look at what jobs kids wanted 20 years ago with today. The government is failing to change that culture back. Why should somebody care about education when they want to be a streamer or whatever?

Private schools may be able to change that. I am not sold that it will work, but there is a chance.

Do you have any solutions other than giving teachers more money?

>One of my parents was until recently a public school teacher in arizona.

One of my grandmothers was also a teacher in Arizona and than later in California. Not sure what it has anything to do with though?

It is possible. I don't like to assume people are being malicious though.

>and i think that’s both entirely on brand for him, and completely beyond the pale and an utter abrogation of the responsibility of the state.

I can make a sweeping accusation as well. The government doesn't want its citizens to have a good education so they won't question them.

Maybe you should elaborate on your reasoning?

>it’s also a horrible idea; a well educated and civically minded populace is one of the better things you can have, and it’s in your best interests to make sure you have one.

> Ticket numbers are great for linking commits together. But they should not have to be relied on to find out why a change was made.

In theory I agree. In practice, I've yet to see it work out that way - there are always discussions with clients/other departments in the ticketing system which will never appear in the commit messages. References to logs, screenshots/animations of the issue and other things that give the full context to why that change matters.

That's also why I believe that code alone is not enough - you need code comments to explain not what the code does, but why it does it that way etc., it's just that ticketing systems can provide even more of the surrounding information which also doesn't fit either in commit messages, or in code comments.

> Ticketing systems may come and go but commit messages persist.

I'd say that everything comes and goes, but in most cases you won't have to worry too much, since most information will be kept around in some capacity, like migrating SVN revision messages to Git commit messages (though even that wasn't always quite possible, in the case of non-standard repository layouts, since most migration scripts broke) etc.

Though with how deeply integrated some companies out there are with solutions like Jira, I doubt they'll ever rid themselves of it.
