The stated goal of raising interest rates is to reduce business investment, which is code for "increase unemployment", which they want to do because it moves about the treasured Phillips curve to the mythical NAIRU point where inflation and employment are in perfect balance (don't try to ask where that point is though...).
"...The depth at which the disk disappeared from view would then establish the level of turbidity."

"...“Higher turbidity levels,” according to the EPA, “are often associated with higher levels of disease-causing microorganisms such as viruses, parasites and some bacteria.” "

In other words, the clearer water is often a sign of higher microorganism contamination? Quite surprising.

Glassdoor Execs could be charged and convicted in NZ, insuring they never could set foot in the country without being arrested.
Complete bullshit. Housing is a necessity, not some random thing like your netflix account.

People will pay more than they can afford for rent, and landlords know this all too well.

Add on top of that current house owners stopping new properties going up and now you have people in the position to be completely fleeced with no way out.

Rental properties as income streams needs to stop. A place to live should be just that, not a way for the landed gentry to fuck the serfs even harder.
What problems do you face during deploying and managing production application?
I would like to create a simplified deployment process to AWS (and possibly, other clouds, like Hetzner, Digital Ocean, GCP, etc) for developers and small/medium size projects.
For the moment I am researching how different projects are deployed and managed in production and what problems they face. Can you share your experience and problematic places for managing infrastructure and the application running in production?
To be honest I think the "core" distinction actually makes sense.
Yes, presuming physical access as well as access to the signing key, an attacker could certainly deploy malicious microcode. It would be a very scary thing indeed. It seems a reasonable threat model if your adversary is a malicious state actor, or similarly well funded and ambitious organization.

Edit: I assume this threat has existed as long as updatable microcode has.
Engineers need to ask legal for a license review. You as an engineer may not understand every aspect of it, but your legal team should make it clear. It’s the same at most places. Licenses are included with the source code, it’s not that hard to bump it up to legal to understand your responsibilities of including it in the product.

OTOH - if the engineer did that and received flawed guidance, then it’s a legal issue and not the engineer’s issue. I guess the question is whether the legal review of all FOSS licenses in the product was done.
If you look at the ERCOT demand/supply graphs, the recently spikes really do perfectly match solar. They start just before noon and tail off in late afternoon. Build the PV to point a bit to the west or use single axis trackers.

Decades ago, Mitt Romney and crew once made employees build the stage he stood on to announce they’re all fired.

Seeing employees as nothing more than a cost center is not new.

Unions were busted, pensions ransacked, through decades of leveraged buyouts, intentionally torpedoing worker savings.

This was no accident; in the US, just like Brexit, it was intentional on the part of business and legislators. Consolidated power over agency is their goal.

I don't think it really has anything to do with whatever FCC claims.
As long as those private companies don't have any financial arrangements with government whether through usage contracts, grants etc. or legislation that would compromise their "private" decision making.

Now applying that filter, the censorship landscape looks very different doesn't it? Government using private companies to censor, is still censorship. Governments lean on private companies with carrots (financial grants and usage contracts) or sticks (legislation), and when that happens you can no longer consider those decisions to be free of government interference.
The US is in direct competition with China. Why let someone play by rules that are more advantageous to them if you dont have to?
For instance, let say there is a platform xyz platform that is an abstraction on rancher to deploy kubernetes, that also deploys the grafana, prometheus, loki, cilium etc. But now, the owners of platform xyz says it is 5k a month for enterprise license of this abstraction. But users may or may not realise that they are using all the tools I have listed. Does that mean, the owners of the platform to have to pay the other platforms?

Another question is, can anyone just decide to offer commercial version of any opensource project? Is there any kind of license that protects the interest of opensource developers.

Imagination is not reality. Reality have constraints that can be so complex that can be really hard to imagine. This is why we run simulations on computers when it comes to lets say weather and not do thought experiments only.

I can even give a real life example here. I am from Poland. And at this moment we are facing a coal shortage (which will cause energetic crisis in the winter) while sitting at the same time atop one of the largest coal deposits in the world. No one could imagine this as a possibility a mere year ago.

The Google Pay fiasco reminds me of this concept

but in the form of "reverse imperialism" where something that worked in the third world is brought to the first world without any consideration of cultural sensitivity.

(It is all the more tempting these days because India, China and Indonesia have such huge consumer markets that they've got the potential to be the center of something huge.)

I remember being really impressed with Google Wallet when it first came out and Google throwing it into the trash can was one of the great own goals of tech. It was a rare bright spot of something quality in Android but you get the sense the people who manage the product are completely incapable of seeing things from the user's eye view.
The US acts exactly like an authoritarian country in foreign interactions. Murder, wars of aggression, facilitating genocide, espionage, and so on. History shows that if you are not American then the US will treat you as if it is an authoritarian state.
Consider the case of embedding (composition is better than inheritance) data defined by a second schema inside a first schema. To quote The Zen of Python, "Namespaces are one honking great idea -- let's do more of those!". But no other format does embedding in any reasonable way (it's all ad hoc extensions on top of your serialization format).
The thread we are in about companies monitoring people accessing Glassdoor and penalizing them in various ways for using it to say things the company doesn’t consider flattering.

That has nothing to do with putting private email in a private folder on the company mail server, near as I can tell, and nothing in that statement would address the statement about companies monitoring use of company equipment and network etc.

Since they’d need to know even in the private email case what they folder names were, for instance, to know there even WAS private email.

One interesting aspect of this case is that, should Apple and Google follow through and force TikTok off their App Stores - many people will feel quite "disenfranchised" due to the popularity of the App.

This would force many who would otherwise never think about the consequences of these walled garden ecosystems and their lack of control, to suddenly have to do so.
I bet that they will introduce cryptocurrency support and turn it into a crypto wallet, especially if Apple does it first in theirs.

Would be very unsurprising.

Personally I find it rewarding how the accuracy of language matters here on HN. Initially when someone voted down one of my comments I was all butt-hurt. Then I got to realizing how justified the down-vote was as I was being lazy with my use of language - I was not actually saying what I really meant. Slowly it helped me think first then write what I actually meant. Still not perfect, but so much more intentional. After all, many of us here on HN are coders of one sort or another, where the accuracy of (computer) language is all too important. It should matter no less how accurately we talk with one another?
Hah, so true on both points.

AFAIK Firefox is the only browser that does 'persist logs' in dev console right. i.e I get to see the responses of all requests whereas Chrome only shows the current page responses. Chrome has also refused to acknowledge this as a bug.
> Unless inflation, low pay, expensive housing, the energy crisis, etc are all uniquely a British problem I fear that Brexit may not be a factor in this at all?

That's nonsense reasoning. Brexit is not the proximate cause of all problems but its a long term driver of economic decline.

How is he suppose to make a change? Go to prison? Is your country actively provide asylum for non-celebrities Russian political immigrants and their families?

When Putin captured all the power in the country, rigged the elections, killed journalists no one cared at all. US, EU, UK, etc - no reaction at all. War with Georgia - no reaction.

When Russia actually started this war 8 years ago and annexed Crimea there been really weak reaction and after everyone just did business as usual. EU even sold Kremlin equipment to fight protesters as well as military weapons on condition they will only be used "inside the country".

When Russian opposition leader Navalny was poisoned again no real sanctions were introduced. Now US, EU and UK expect people to go on streets and protest.

PS: I am from Russia and I immigrated to Turkey on 25th of February and there is nothing fun about going into unplanned political immigration. I dont try to remove all responsibility from myself or someone else, but even I as software engineer have very limited capacity to do political activity. Since I have a job and my family to feed.

Now from abroad I help my friends from Ukraine when I can and I publicly share my political statementa that will land me to prison if I ever come back. But sorry I'm not going to destroy my life for the cause.
That’s what I was thinking as well. Using one’s real name adds the possibility of that being used against you as well as feeding spammers and other nefarious actors.
> The problem should be that the data is collected and provided to the government whenever they want - not that it's not the Chinese government. We had this discussion after the Snowden leaks and nothing changed whatsoever. Back then it was the US government and the US gov had the chance to change the rules so this could not happen. Now they're up in arms because other governments do the exact same thing. It's really annoying.

The differentiator here is national security, which raises an entirely different set of issues than the typical data collection and user privacy ones.

It's like the difference between sharing your bank password with your wife vs. some dude you aren't very friendly with who has a history of wire fraud. "Treat everyone the same" is not a workable policy.

Reporting the actual data is not "downplaying". And the notion that the US media downplays school shootings is about as wrong as you could possibly be. Have you ever watched US news? School shootings get 24/7 coverage for weeks.

"Active shooter drills? In schools? You folk live in a first world country but act like you are living in an active warzone"

These things happen due to the same kind of fear mongering and statistical illiteracy you demonstrate in your comments. School shootings are horrible, but extremely rare. It would, of course, be better if we didn't have them, just like it would be better if we didn't have earthquakes, electrical storms, plane crashes, etc. but it's not rational to make life choices based on 1 in 10 million events.

You're also wrong about support for gun control. A majority of the US population supports stronger gun control. Unfortunately, in our political system, that's not sufficient to make it happen.
They're similar in length, but the First Edition covers somewhat more material, in particular mutation, while the Second edition has more details and exercises, and covers the 2htdp/universe functional animations that are new for that edition.
I've heard of this happening, but to what extent is this true in the UK?
They didn't work well actually. Effectiveness against Omicron of boosters was zero. The regulators and pharma firms did however redefine "work" to mean the generation of antibodies (against the long extinct 2019 strain spike protein). This is illogical and puts the cart before the horse; we only care about antibodies to the extent they stop people getting sick.

The reason they had to do this is because the vaccines cause fixation. The body can't tell the different spikes apart, so injection with mRNA coding for Omicron spike leads the body to create (not very effective) antibodies against the original spike from the first round of vaccines. Immune memory seems to lack resolution, or possibly Omicron evolved specifically to confuse it in that way, but whatever the cause is, the body just says "a spike! i know what to do!" and doesn't learn from the new round of adjusted vaccines.

Unfortunately this type of so-called biomarker study is now becoming commonplace. They are confusing the means for the end.

Higher turbidity == cloudier water. The turbidity is inversely proportional to disk depth. See here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbidity
Instruction placement and scheduling is still important on OoO cores e.g. splitting a function intentionally over multiple pages to keep the commonly used parts of functions used together in less pages which helps with instruction cache utilisation and iTLB pressure.

Lots of high performance microarchitectures use assumptions about control flow for optimisation e.g. use the direction (backward, forward) of conditional jumps and branches as weak prediction, convert conditional branches over a single instruction into predicated execution, fuse common instruction pairs into a single micro-operation. At least limited cooperation between compiler and CPU core is required to make good use of those features.

Right. The point is that something along the lines of "abortion for any reason up to 15 weeks, abortion only for the life/health of the mother or severe fetal abnormalities after that" is something that would cover 99.9% of abortions that actually occur today and that non-extremists on both sides of the issue could probably agree to. Unfortunately, pragmatism and compromise are no longer possible in US politics.
It's a monetary cost. Phone numbers will cost about 0.10 per SMS verification but you can do CAPTCHAs for about 1000 for $1. I think a better solution would be microtransactions of some kind, although imposing any monetary cost will deter spammers. It just depends on how much they get out of it.

Actually it was Oracle that introduced ADI, making Solaris SPARC the first UNIX with proper hardware memory tagging, while everyone else is still catching up.

The hate for Oracle apparently has blinded folks of the features that were introduced after they rescued Sun from being completly destroyed from debt collectors.
There is an issue in such approach: people do not see them except during a drought so... Not very useful.

The real issue is that domestically we can store water if we live at a not that high density. We can collect even 50-100m³ underground per home, out of rain water on the roof, make it drinkable with sand filters + Cl, potentially a not so cheap home can store enough water for its residents on yearly basis. Agriculture can't. Industry can't. We actually need to eat, so we need agriculture (also to farm animals, since they also eat), and since we do not build anything forever and ever and we evolve we need industry.

From your first link, Oracle is #14 down the list by changesets, behind Intel, Red Hat, Google, Linaro, Huawei, Facebook, Nvidia, SUSE, IBM, "None", "Unknown", and "Consultants"

No, it's murkier water. The microorganisms cause the light to scatter, giving the water a duller appearance. Similar to how scuffed up glass will appear duller than polished glass. The microorganisms can also have a strong color, the most obvious example being algae. I imagine most of us have seen a bucket of water left in the sun turn green after a couple of days.

The US has no rule of law for national security consideration in other countries. As a non US citizen the US government in practice has no due process consideration if they wish to spy on you, torture you, or kill you.

Corporations are an extension of the state in this process, as we have learned thanks to Edward Snowden. They have no choice but to facilitate the use of state power on foreign nationals.

As a non-American I don't see the difference for me. If you are an American all you're saying is "only my government should spy on me".
Show HN: Automatically detect visual bugs on responsive websites via ML
Hi HN!

My friend and I just launched the initial version of Responsiveye (https://responsiveye.com) - the first tool that automatically detects visual bugs on responsive websites.

Whenever we worked on a web app that was visually intensive and had many users we had trouble with visual bugs slipping through the QA. That is likely because visual testing is very repetitive. For every CSS change, QA needs to scale the browser window many times to check every single element and how it behaves on different screen sizes.

I tried a couple of tools to help us with this but all solutions I found focused on visual regression testing which comes with a lot of maintenance.

That is where the idea for Responsiveye came from.

We were wary if the full automatization of testing was achievable technically but it ended up working quite well. We are still in the alpha stage but we would love to get your feedback and scan your website for visual bugs.

You can submit your website for testing (no signup required) on https://responsiveye.com/ and also see examples of websites of well known companies that we found bugs on (Adobe, Dell, etc).

If you find this helpful, please let us know and sign up to get access to the latest updates - we are planning to have more bug detections on a weekly basis.
