Yea. On the note of Blockchains, i have been long fascinated by immutable storage engines. Blockchain being just one implementation in the broader landscape. I've implemented several of them...

and with that said, i often wanted to add Reed Solomon simply because i found it fascinating. Truly an ingenious "trick". Though i never got past the idea phase, as it felt i was just double encoding everything and if bits were to flip then my storage mechanisms (HDD/S3/etc) would be the one seeing the flip and fixing it. I figured my software was never going to see bitflips to make this type of feature useful.

I'd be curious if any blockchains/immutable storage/etc actually use this type of error recovery. Ie if the layer _above_ network and storage actually benefit from error recovery. Since i often expect both network and storage themselves to bake error recovery in.. /shrug
In my opinion uuid has an advantages against the integer based types. Theyre not guessable and nearly collision free. Pulp3 uses them for anything because of this.
COVID payments have nothing to do with UBI. At least here in NZ, most of the support was paid out to businesses and corporations. Fraudulent ones, too.

Maybe if you weren’t so concerned with ”outsiders” getting a piece of your welfare, you could actually have a functional society.

I think they are still manufacturing TVs, which would be 16:9 anyways.

We - Europeans and pretty much anyone who's not an American - can't do really anything in US.
From the economic point of view TikTok's arrival is more than welcome so Meta's and Alphabet's dominance of digital ad market can be challenged but looking it from US national security point of view it is a disaster.

Of course they could not compete: if your competitor flaunts the law, avoids the regulator, does not pay local taxes and externalizes a whole pile of things then there is no level playing field. It would be extremely surprising if they could compete.

In science, this is a second order effect compared to the problem that negative results and failed experiments are never reported, especially in the case of the physical sciences. “If my experiment doesn’t work, you get to repeat it.”
Any article about Firefox and it's relevance that doesn't strongly highlight the "David v. Goliath" nature of what it's up against -- and implies that it gets developed in roughly the same way and for the same purposes as its competitors -- is dumb at best and dangerously misleading at worst.
One of these countries spent a century preaching to the world the benefits of free trade, the other ridding itself of the capitalist class. So the issue from the point of view of the rest of the world is that the US should practice what they preach even in the one case where that would mean allowing some mild competition to their massive and insanely profitable internet monopolies.

Wait, then why aren't we using humans? Humans are the best model available for human biology, no?
This is a bad faith reading of what these activists want. It amounts to a strawman. If you were their neighbor - you probably wouldn't know it. Why should we be systematically cruel to animals? Why shouldn't we develop technology that replaces these techniques? Has it not even occurred to you that we don't necessarily have to have a giant industry of animal testing, that that is a local minima we don't have to accept?

Does that not seem morally questionable to you?
This is a damn cool hack!
I'm not sure how far that "whatever programs they want" goes - e.g. you can't legally run MacOS apps on non-Apple hardware. If MS decided the store was the only way to install apps into Windows, is that much different?
Both platforms of course need to be able to support compiling from source and executing the resulting binary , which is sufficient to ensure OSS software will never be banished entirely.
Yeah, I lived in a rental apartment where they wanted to rebate the average electricity cost and run the metered electricity scam. But at a ~$40 rent reduction and a $13/month account fee, you'd have to reduce your electricity consumption to 33% below average just to break even.

All so the installer/metering provider can buy a bigger yacht.

Hard to do conserve much when the apartment operator provides your major appliances (typical in north america), no dishwasher, laundry is in a central laundry room, and HVAC+hot water are centrally provided.

Would do a lot better if they just ran a program to replace all of our light bulbs/fixtures.
Your edit is on the money.

We switched to a new power company purely based on rates. They offer free power for a 3 hour slot between 9pm and midnight.

We spent $2k on hardware to take advantage - a 7kw fast charger for the EV and a clockwork timer for the water tank.

In return we could load shift so much that 45% of our power is now free. That's with no other behavior changes (well one small change - family members became aware that having long hot showers in the day meant a lukewarm shower at night).

All super simple, and all driven from the bottom up by specific rates.
> MAY RECORD THE ENCOUNTER IF THE PERSON IS NOT INTERFERING WITH LAWFUL POLICE ACTIONS

This broad inclusive language was seemingly added to protect the act of recording while being the subject of an investigation. It also makes it very clear when the officer can turn off the citizens camera. This law has potential to be abused to shroud dirty shit. Existing laws previously existed to enforce this same behaviour. This is an unnecessary expansion of power.

> The ones who seem to anecdotally do best by it are the folks supplementing income by opportunistically taking fares here and there.

That's a large part of Uber's success: they are able to leverage the many people who have a car and occasionally have nothing better to do. There are even people who will drive for fun or as a way to kill boredom. Of course, those people will happily take a fraction of the pay that a professional taxi driver would. And those rides will be cheaper for consumers compared to taxi rides.

It's of course a problem when regulators disallow them to leverage this large class of drivers. When they are forced to operate like a taxi operator, a big part of their value proposition is gone. This is bad for consumers and Uber, but good for taxi operators.
N00b question: is Amazon aurora a reimplementation of Postgres, or just something that allows you to use Postgres?
Based on the full text quoted by another commenter https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32047580, this does not seem to be the case. Specifically:

> > B. notwithstanding subsection A of this section, a person who is the subject of police contact may record the encounter if the person is not interfering with lawful police actions, including searching, handcuffing or administering a field sobriety test. The occupants of a vehicle that is the subject of a police stop may record the encounter if the occupants are not interfering with lawful police actions.
The same reasons cheating is rampant in all online videogames, I imagine
And thus automated income reporting is required. Hooray, no more filling out tax forms!

Unless, of course, people want to hide their money from the government. Why would they need to be able to do that?
It doesnt apply then, it only applies to officers who are questioning, arresting, etc.
After reading Practical Vim by Drew Neil I went to his site to check out what else he has. Well he's selling a course that looked like the majority of what he's covered in the book. When I saw the $150 price tag I couldn't believe my eyes.

I left the site and bought his other Vim book instead.

What if I'm filming from 8 feet away with good intent and a cop who is doing naughty things walks towards me so they have a legal basis to keep me from filming? And to confiscate what I've already filmed?
Paradoxically, this law could lead to more filming, because it codifies the fact that filming beyond eight feet is perfectly okay. That may have been legally true before, but now the police have a clear, bright rule. This might be good for both police and bystanders.
Then keep it internal.

As soon as it was published in an article, it was no longer internal, just a code name.

Let’s peel back the FDA and let the state decide what food is safe

For many foods, we still do. It's why you sometimes see "Registered with the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture" printed on packages. (Usually abbreviated to something like "Reg. Penna. Dept. Agr.")

Sometimes particular states set standards that all the other states, or an entire industry, follows.

When they (used to?) give away cars on TV game shows, the announcer always lists "California emissions" in the description of the car.
Show HN: Whatcha – social network for digital media
Hi all! Christian here, creator of Whatcha, the easiest way to discover, track, discuss, and share movies, shows, books, and podcasts. I created Whatcha because I wanted all the information I needed to decide what I should check out next in one place.

If you're like me, you're having multiple conversations with friends on what they're watching, creating watch/read/listen lists on multiple platforms (or just a notes app) that quickly get disorganized, or just have a hard time deciding on what to start next. Whatcha is aiming to solve those problems by bringing everything and everyone together in one place. With the proliferation of media platforms, services, and content, Whatcha has been a great way to organize and share your favorites.

I just launched Whatcha on the Apple app store, with an Android version coming soon. Would appreciate any feedback you have on how I can make Whatcha better and more useful for you. Thanks!
You do that because you don't need a large underground compressed air cavity. Instead, you can store energy as heat in materials, which is among the cheapest ways to store it.
You could just cap the max price and let the grid make it up during other times. That's basically what time of day billing does anyway: a blended approach to electricity rates that averages out but provides some incentive.

Of course, my jurisdiction rolled out time-of-day billing and found that demand shifted only a few percent, so I wonder if the program even covered its costs for smaller users.
This sounds like moat-building. But what does "the use of higher education credentials from diploma mills and unaccredited schools" actually amount to? Listing them on a CV?

> pretty much all of current cosmology rules out FTL

Except current cosmology is full of strange things that feel to me like they are only there as placeholders for our gaps in the understanding of the universe. The expansion of space only exists because we need something to explain redshift. Dark matter only exists because we need something to make the galaxy rotation speed match our formulas. I do have a feeling that some of these ideas may turn out wildly wrong in the future and we'll be looking at "the universe is expanding" the same way we look at "combustion releases phlogiston out of whatever you're burning" today.
You're right, and that list also includes European countries like France. You're just quoting a bad actor, no way that he ever opened a history book about the subject.

Those two companies will be "destroyed" when they can no longer do what they do as well as their competitors. What the current laws are in China are unlikely to have much impact either way.
> It makes more sense, if it is the result of a dissatisfaction with current US post-secondary institutions.

This is exactly what is going on. Boot camps, income share models, and a lot of newer colleges are simply attempts to disrupt the post-secondary industry. In this case, they have a really interesting table on the Tuition and fees page showing how students come out $171,000 ahead with their apprenticeship program (and it is quite conservative).
Can't compete against a service that "sells" $2 worth of labor for $1. Now that the VC-funded subsidies are running out, we'll see how competitive Uber really is.
As long as we can avoid mosquito we should. That's why I still prefer nets and repellent creams. However, I am not going to judge if some people kills mosquito that sucks their blood or spread dangerous diseases like malaria.

Comparing monkeys with mosquitos is kind of disingenuous. How many monkeys have killed people in 2022 compared to mosquito?

Lastly, many research takes place for beauty creams, shampoo etc.. that are total useless. There are also many research were animal are disregarded as useless. Maybe sustainable research is needed instead of dumping them uselessly?

Thanks!

I can't get the actual study information on what they define as a HFD. I've seen these kind of studies before where HFD was not actually high fat low carb and instead "fattening foods" as the modern interpretation of it goes.
While the parent is right in stressing the importance of the review phase, which is a filter to decide whether we will ever see a candidate paper or not, it is indeed the case, as the OP posits, that there is merit in extracting the context in which a citation is used, which has been termed "citation polarity".

For example, 'Chomsky (1969) was entirely wrong when he said that “it must be recognized that the notion of 'probability of a sentence' is an entirely useless one, under any known interpretation of this term".'

There are Natural Language Processing methods and tools to extract the citation polarity. Researchers like S. Teufel have used citation polarity and other methods to analyze publications ("rhetorical zoning") and to create maps of the published literature: https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~sht25/az.html

A scientific literature search engine (Semantic Scholar, CiteSeerX etc. - sadly Microsoft Academic has recently been discontinued) can benefit from such knowledge; for example, PageRank can be modified so as to incorporate citation polarity in the random walker model that underlies it. Think of it as adding a "dislike" button to a system that already offers a graph with "like" button relations.

Not sure why you are getting downvoted - the GP is definitely putting forth a heavy strawman.

> If china is a rival to the US, why do they have one of the most favorable trade deals?

I don't have an answer for you, but when you rephrase the point you're getting at it's easy to see there are plenty of valid reasons, because this is not true:

> There are no reasons for the US to give a favorable trade deal to a country that is otherwise a rival
i was always under the impression that when consulting for a company with a competent developer team, the best a consultant can do is to confirm what the internal team already recommended.

if the company is doing a risky project, having a second opinion may be well worth the money.
Sure. A very simple one would be https://ipbl.herrbischoff.com, a public blocklist page referencing a resource used by a couple dozen users. The HTML doesn't get a lot simpler than that and is entirely valid markup. It's (unsurprisingly) low ranked in Google but it's there.

Not so in Bing, it's simply not there. The page exists since March 2021. Bing Webmaster Tools reads "Discovered but not crawled. URL cannot appear on Bing", giving no further reason. Also: "Last crawl attempted 01 Feb 2022 at 19:35", which means that Bing did not bother to retry for months, despite me submitting it manually on a regular basis. Clicking the "Live URL" tab results in entirely green checkmarks along with "URL can be indexed by Bing".

Another example would be my personal site: https://herrbischoff.com. Same issue. That one is listed on Google for more than 10 years.
Not saying that I share these arguments, but the thinking is usually not to put non-human life over , but on the same level as human life.

- There is a limit on how many sites the login information can be shared with without notifying the user.

- If the login information is attempted to be shared with a website that is a known tracker, the process is stopped, and the user is explicitly prompted to allow this.

Not really. It is not easy to paint existing systems with a wide brush. The situation in Germany is not the same as in Croatia which is not the same in India. I will always trust taxis in Mumbai and Berlin over Uber, whereas in a foreign location I will look for local options like Ola, Grab, FreeNow.

Uber did act as a catalyst for the incumbents to get off their butts, but it created another set of problems which are equally bad.
