Magical thinking. You are dangerously misinformed on the medicine side and overloaded with medieval fantasy.

Those of us that actually live in the 21st century just look at your belief structure as naive — however we are now in a different phase where your ignorance is causing real harm. I read today that Drs are too scared to prescribe potentially life saving but potentially teratogenic medicine in forced-birth states due to miscarriage risk. Absolutely unacceptable! Get your medieval bullshit out of our modern world.

Re. markdown, why should I? Also, what's sales documentation, is that something I should have received?

You're assuming your conclusion in your premise.

The question is "should monkeys be available for research?"

You state that "we should use the best models available", therefore we should use monkeys for research. But this assumes that monkeys are available in the first place! It doesn't show that we should experiment on monkeys, just that we currently do.

This is false. No PostgreSQL version has had a built-in connection pooler. There was a patch some years ago[0], but it didn't make it into PostgreSQL.

GPLv2

Think about it. Most of the reasons people are giving for "why Linux succeeded" also apply to BSD. And these things have all applied to BSD for a long time.

Maybe it's some variation on the "first mover principle" where Linux just got there first. But I don't think that's a very good explanation.

Personally I think that the license has a lot to do with it.
"Collaboration" is the kind where someone read an article about a team building a successful project with lots of collaboration once, so they mandate pair programming on every ticket and mob testing for every PR.
Isn't all open source built from the time of experts? (Not experts in chess, but in programming, design, etc) :)

> Simple test: will it hurt more _overall_ to suddenly lose them or keep them?

So everything or nothing? Sounds like a false dilemma.

Another problem with this decision-making approach is that anything can be un/justified simply by changing the unspoken timescale at which you measure outcomes.

On a short timescale, a knife stabbed into my gut should stay, because removing it will cause blood-loss.

However on a longer timescale where I'm in the hands of some doctors with bandages, it should absolutely be removed...
My question, that I've asked since I learned about secure deletion in the 90's is... has anyone made a consumer grade, or even "professional grade" device that can read the previous contents of a disk that has been overwritten just once?

To my knowledge, still unless your data is worth the price of a scanning electron microscope and the appropriate expertise in running one for this purpose, a single overwrite is sufficient, and a constant stream of 0xFFh or 0x00h is already more than enough.

I could be wrong (and I don't even mind if I am. That's what learning is all about). Science is always advancing. But I have never heard that this particular area has advanced beyond electron microscopy. Links to change my mind? Who has equipment that reads prior data on overwritten drives on an enterprise budget?
If in silico was an alternatives, everybody would have switched already. And everybody will switch as soon as it becomes one. Everybody wants in silico models.

If you are using that to argue that alternatives exist, you are unknowingly lying. They will probably exist some day, and everybody will use them without you having to ask.
It really seems like a foolish decision. Is there any good explanation for why they are shutting these down other than anti-nuclear fears? I mean, it's Germany of all places so I can't imagine they have any concerns about costs to refuel, refurbish or maintain these reactors in the future--it's likely a rounding error in their GDP and budgets.
In a sibling comment there is already a very adequate answer.

To give the opposite answer, why you should not cheat. Chess is fun if you play against players of similar strengt. Mostly a score of around 50% will be what you get. If you have a 1400 rating, you can have fun games against 1400 players. If you cheat and go towards 2300 rating, you will still have a score of 50% against other 2300 players. But all the fun of the game won't be there, since it is just cheating. You will lose something (fun), but not really win anything within the game itself.

Or simpler said, in a long gone past I got bored with playing Doom. I hunted down cheat codes and got bored even faster.
My understanding of this new college is that it's aimed at solving the perceived problem of four-year Catholic liberal arts schools, namely that they graduate a lot of young adults with the same (or roughly the same) degrees, but without an obvious career path laid out for them.

So, to begin with, high school graduates who go to these schools were predisposed to go to a Catholic liberal arts college. If the College in the article is successful in its mission, these folks will graduate with the degree they wanted, in the surroundings/environment they wanted, but also with solid career possibilities.

People have been swearing up and down for over a decade that the US graduates far more people with bachelors degrees than we "need", and that more parents[0] should be encouraging their kids to learn a trade. This new college is a response to that.

[0] it's seldom "us"; the problem seems to be isolated, in many peoples' minds, to other peoples' kids, and they don't want their own kids to be the ones who learn a trade.
How many invading your neighbours?
I dunno, this site seems pretty sketchy. It's just a boilerplate dating app landing page, using stock images and styles copied from other sites:

It has no info about how it works, who runs it, etc. Just a random form. Maybe a phishing attempt? I wouldn't trust it...

Edit: I think there are a lot of sites in this vein, whitelabeled dating sites/apps that try to rip off the big ones by forming their own tiny niches. It doesn't necessarily mean it's fake, but even if it's real, the network is probably going to be so small as to be worthless.

The government could have tried to borrow money internationally to buy fertilizer. If properly presented the issue (such as great risk of starvation), the IMF or World Bank would have helped. Then they could export some crops and give the country more time to deal with debts and crises. And when covid is over, influx of tourists would have helped again.

While there were many factors, it is quite possible that this one wrong decision was the straw that broke camel's back. But because currently green ideas are quite fashionable, the king was able to convince the government to accept this ill-fated deal about the switch to organic farming.

But he doesn't tell you how it was composed. It would actually be very difficult or impossible to explain how something was composed. That's why I'm confused. This video is like if someone tried to tell you "what makes this painting great" by pointing out the painting's objects and their colors.

Good point. When I formulate a plan, I will share it with HN.
But our universe doesn't obey special relativity, since it has gravity; you have to use general relativity.

FLRW has a preferred velocity at all points, right? Couldn't you use that to construct a global time coordinate and require FTL to experience that time coordinate as increasing? (This would be dependent on the metric; I realize that GR has solutions that have closed timelike curves inherently.)
When police "don't do everything right", people die. They are given extraordinary leverage to use deadly force, and are assumed to be telling the truth in a court of law. And we have seen that almost universally, police will protect other police who abuse their power.

These are not equivalent. Police who do bad things not only cause extreme harm, but terrorize people whose protection is the whole reason we gave police the monopoly on violence in the first place. This is not a "two sides to a story" situation. This is a situation where one side has all of the power and far, far too much documented abuse of it.
Exactly, that's why I'm confused about peoples' fascination with him.
Citation rings are a huge problem, but couldn't the sentiment-analysis side be readily addressed? There's a difference between papers that just cite a paper without judgment (+0), papers whose results explicitly support another paper (+1) and papers that explicitly reject another paper (-1). Such an AI could also bypass "citation analysis" and instead ingest the entire scientific literature, and find refutations in papers that don't even cite each other.

In practice, 2 problems: 1) this requires sophisticated AI; and 2) many people will keep assuming that high citations = credible (i.e. assume that +0 and +1 are equivalent).

But this method will help researchers go beyond "it's highly-cited therefore I trust it"; it'll help students and rigorous scholars find how well-supported a paper is, despite its popularity. And it'll surface refutations that may be hard to otherwise find; for example when a scholar that's famous in a field, and unknown in another, decides to publish a paper in the latter field that may not be widely seen.

Ultimately (though this is far off: theoretically completely possible but highly technically difficult) we can also imagine AIs that ingest the whole literature, gains deep cross-domain knowledge, and are trained to detect poor methodologies, or automatically highlight new insights in one discipline that can enrich another discipline, or (ideally) make its own judgments about the merits of any finding based on the knowledge it acquired. After human review, it could systemically help "clean up" the scientific literature of bad methodologies and ideas, and free scientists to spend less time working on scientific dead ends.

That last paragraph won't be doable for a while, but the first 3 seem readily within reach of today's AI technologies (and seems to be what scite is doing).
> huge national security risk

National security is the sum total of the individual earned securities
of each citizen, no more or less.

The distortion occurs when "national security" becomes the interests
of a business elite, or a political party, or the job security of the
security services themselves. We lose focus about what "security"
really is.

I agree with your point (as I understand it), but to my knowledge
there isn't and never has been a division of national apparatus
dedicated to defence of culture, national values, and the sanity of
our children from insidious foreign propaganda. And as for direct
counter-propaganda we are not allowed to direct psyops internally, at
least not with a taxpayer's dollar.

The "disappearance of the perimeter", as understood through the lens
of the Huawei debacle is an example of how fast this has materialised
and ambushed us in the social media age. But to be honest, I see the
same problems with Facebook or US companies filtering and amplifying
values.

There isn't an easy answer. There are not enough human resources.
There is very little common agreement. Nobody wants to open that can
of worms. Doing so would mean going up against powerful businesses and
I don't think the IC has the stomach for it or can adapt to the
changing threats fast enough.

So we just keep pretending "national security" is limited to
industrial espionage by the Chinese or hacking by the Russians and so
on.

That's why I think individual Digital Self Defence via education is
the only option. It needs baking into the curriculum for age 6
upwards.
> Why shouldn't we develop technology that replaces these techniques?

We absolutely should.

The site hasn't even launched yet, I guess we'll see.
What I'm trying to say is that your point is moot. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and every currency made in their likeness still have predatory classes of users. Value is easy to extract, the users are largely oblivious and the transaction process is complicated and new. Scammers, hucksters and VC alike is already in this market segment, you won't fool anyone.

Plus, Bitcoin's creator still has a non-insignificant amount of Bitcoin set aside for them. If they're alive today, then they totally exert a disproportionate amount of influence over their own currency.
> Closing schools had no impact on virus

This is what I mean by framing things as black and white. Why would you make such an incredible claim? How could you possibly support a claim that reducing community spread in schools (where children are around 50% as likely to spread the virus, not 0% [1]) has "zero impact" on community spread outside of schools? How could children at home equally spread covid to other childrens homes as if there were 30 of them wearing poorly fitting masks in a closed room?

> The role of young children in transmission seemed logical to some experts who have been tracking the evolution of the pandemic. “I think what was more surprising was how long the narrative persisted that children weren’t transmitting SARS-CoV-2,” said Sam Scarpino, PhD, managing director of pathogen surveillance at the Rockefeller Foundation.

> Nearly 1 in 4 COVID-19 deaths (5868 [CI, 3584 to 8171]; 23.2%) was potentially attributable to hospitals strained by surging caseload.

I've been working remotely since the pandemic started. I haven't gotten sick once. Not a cold, flu, covid, strep, bronchitis, nothing, for two and a half years. You get sick from contact with sick people. Reducing your contact with all people reduces your contact with sick people, reducing your likelihood of getting sick, becoming a sick person, and making other people sick. You could, as many do, make the case that we don't need to reduce contact that much, and that closing schools costs more than it returns. You cannot make the case that closing schools does not reduce contact and spread of sickness and death.

Most of Europe got overrun. Bizarrely enough in my own country the German occupation made the economy boom- as we were Arians the Nazis didn't steal anything until D-day. It became obvious the Reichsmark would be pretty useless after Germany lost so the whole house of cards collapsed.

10 feet away from what, exactly? A ‘law enforcement activity’? Is that area defined in a meaningful way?

What if a bystander records 10 feet away, but a second person stands in between and records 5 feet away? Has the area of law enforcement activity expanded to include the first bystander because of the second bystander is breaking a law?

I guess bystanders who didn’t bring their tape measure can just run the risk of recording and let the courts shake it out, right?

I am on the market looking for my next position having just finished a 2+ year stint as CTO at Arist (YC S20) where I built their engineering team and stack from the ground up (we used Ruby on Jets + VueJS), completed a full product rebuild in a little over year, achieved SOC-2 Type II compliance (which involved a formal audit and passing a third party penetration test), and ultimately exited after helping to close a $24m combo Series A+B funding round led by PeakSpan capital. I have a decade of startup experience and have served as CTO or engineering lead at muliple startups, most of them Rails-based.

I think the idea of a line being drawn at interference is pretty well established and could see the 8-foot rule as trying to establish a useable standard. How does it apply in a traffic stop though? Not sure if there are conditions for the 8-foot rule described in the law. I could see it being allowable (or at least NOT presumptively unconstitutional) in the public setting of a sidewalk as pertaining to parties not directly involved in a matter. I am far more skeptical that it could apply to a person who is the direct subject of an interaction or a companion thereof.
I disagree. But I guess I find most things ugly that are generally well received. I find almost all cars ugly, almost all watches, almost all laptops etc.
I'd rather just see the bad cop be fired. I feel that if we were to penalize their pension fund, their union and local government would just find some back door to refund the money. Better to just terminate the bad cops and be done with them.
I find it deeply concerning we are still very much in bed with Putin. We should have taken drastic steps early and maybe be half way in tapping alternative sources. The fact Germany is happily closing nuclear power plants shows Europe is in for a rude awakening when Putin tightens the vice.
Even if it doesn't go to court, just being threatened with this crime might be enough to get someone to stop recording a police interaction. So again the law is to the detriment of the public. There is no upside to this law aside from it being a useful tool for police intimidation.
To me this sounds like “I don’t want to do the thing that is obvious and sensible because I just don’t wanna.”

Personal liberty? Sure. But not when your personal liberty negatively impacts the rest of society. Just like how you’re not allowed to shout “fire“ in a movie theater because of the harm it could potentially cause. Your personal liberty ends where danger to others begins. If you don’t want to use 2FA on your Google account, knock yourself out. The context of Pypi is different.

Yes, everybody should be using 2FA. And we should also be looking into how to perform package signing and verification. Of course we should. This isn’t your grandfather’s Internet. These are table stakes in 2022.

I hope that there is a future where Pypi mandates those things because they’re good for everyone. They improve things for the entire ecosystem. I’m sick and tired of discovering that Python packages I depend on are being hacked or typo-squatted by malicious packages.

Oh, and get vaccinated — because it’s exactly the same premise. Stop being selfish.

It's an excellent tactics game where each mission only has about five turns, and every move matters.
The algorithm isn't awfully complex. If it's 6pm, and you need your car charged by 6am, and you need to be charging for 6 hours, then you just purchase the cheapest 6 energy futures for the 6 hours you know you'll need, and don't purchase the other 6.

If at any time during the night the prices of the unpurchased futures drop below that of the ones you have purchased, you can sell one and buy a different one (rescheduling the charge).

There isn't any better algorithm within those constraints. As long as the energy futures market is a fully liquid market, the price you'll get will be (on average) equal to the spot price you would have paid if you'd made the ideal scheduling decisions and bought on the spot market.
