I see nothing in that link that suggests anything of the sort.

The problem Amanda Knox faced -- and I presume this is really boiling down to her -- is that Italy doesn't have double jeopardy. So the prosecutor kept retrying her, and the court kept acquitting her.

If you don't like that I suggest you also stay away from Japan, among many Asian countries. Though Japan has double jeopardy, sort of, police can and will arrest you, hold you for a significant amount of time, then release you prior to trial and re-arrest you again over and over again, just by adding new trivial charges. This is what happened to Carlos Ghosn (whether he deserved it is another question).
A modern read-protected Office document is AES encrypted, so you cannot read those at all. But the read-only one, much like PDF do-not-print/do-not-copy protections, is just relying on the viewer to honor the protection marker.

Great article. As an aside, the unshaded "color" GBuffer channel [1] makes me want a game that's fully lit like that.

The original Resident Evil game for PS1 was (because of technical limitations back then) comparatively brightly lit, and it lent the game a weird atmosphere — you have the normalcy of the house, but intruded upon by the supernatural. It's scary in a different way than the newer games, which are darkly lit and rely on jump scares.

The only recent game that comes to mind is Control, and only certain parts of it.

There are a few movies that are lit more naturalistically — The Shining and Day of the Dead come to mind — and I love the effect.

Fuel cells and electric motors are vastly more efficient at turning propane into motion than a combustion engine. Its possible they found a dessicant that is particularly easy to reverse at stp. Theymention the absorbing dessicant is exothermic which is unusual I think? And they pump that heat over to regenerate the other dessicant under a slight vacuum. Sounds a bit like the oxygen generators people use for lung conditions, or to weld with.
I don't see how that would prevent sequential embeds unless you have defined the semantics of embed to be a textual include, which if that's the case then the mistake are the semantics and not the constraints on compilers or embedded files.

edit: why is it desirable to concatenate files with #embed? Does that not seem out of scope if not contrived?

Yup, there is no way to hide basic packet information from your ISP without some kind of tunnelling like Wiregaurd or TOR.

I already stopped trusting my ISP after it was announced that one of the three UK LTE internet providers had implemented the "log absolutely everything" clause in the snoopers charter... I guess now the cats out of the bag, Vodafone is likely the provider, since they can probably build upon what they have already implemented and sell it to 3rd parties. Pretty gross.
> follow up plant, DEMO [2], should produce electricity (750MW)

If it will ever be built and then go online. Which is highly unlikely given the slow progress of ITER and its very difficult problems - some it even does not try to solve. Like getting enough Tritium: https://www.science.org/content/article/fusion-power-may-run...

750MW (again using thermal energy, which is probably not the future of electricity production) from such an expensive & complex device? Probably you would need pools of several fusion power plants, since it is unlikely that one fusion power plant will run for a longer periods of time. Maybe a pool of six would provide two running (just a wild guess).

The technical problems will be huge and the costs gigantic. I can't imagine how this will be competitive when in production (with outputs in tens of Gigawatts, to make any impact) in 2060 or later.
Covid hasn't lost lethality. Delta was much more serious than the original strain, Omicron is about as serious, but more contageous.

It has lost lethality in our population, thanks to a high vaccination rate, and a better understanding of how to care for people with it.

And, of course, nobody knows how lethal the dominant strain of COVID that will be circulating in 2023 is going to be.
CTF challenges typically do not involve zero days as their intended solution, due to time constraints. Often they will inject a vulnerability into e.g. Chromium by patching it in a way that might approximate a real bug, then hand you the patch so you save the weeks, months it takes to find stuff like this normally. So from there it becomes purely a test of being able to exploit the bug, although still your constraints are a bit different as you can be loud and only really need to succeed once when an actual state-level actor will want something better than that. But again, this is a result of time constraints.
You can always express some calculation that uses imaginary numbers in a way that avoids them. It might make things vastly more complex to so so, but it's possible.

People used to do all sorts of math without negative numbers or zero.

I had a go at pandoc when I was writing my (social science) PhD, but I gave up and went back to just doing it all in LaTeX fairly quickly.

From memory the compile times didn't worry me at all. What did worry me was making it look like I'd put far more effort into documentation presentation than I actually had. Which worked well for me, especially big shout out to the hyperref package to get my far-too-many acronyms linked back to the acronym definition table for every mention), links to every citation, and proper links inside the document to each section /page reference.

Then on top of that my hacked together proofreading tools in emacs, and a torturous 10k word chapter 2 to sideline a difficult politicical problem, and I passed first time!
It is a gigantic stretch, yes. If twitter thinks you posted 'confirmed revenge porn' they'd ban your account (as stated in their policy on the subject) and probably report you to law enforcement. If that happened over a cat game video then yes, that would be bad, disturbing, scary, you name it. That's a 100% not what happened, though, and turning it into some narrative about implacable machines grinding down our inalienable human rights is a mistake.

Yeah, I subbed to the blocklist that someone else published that they're maintaining manually. Google certainly has the resources to beat that bar.

It feels like economy-wide that decision makers in corporations and governments have just arrived at the conclusion that there's no money / no point in trying to stop scammers (and there might be an actual cost to revenue of doing so). It won't goose their quarterly numbers and might hurt them so its better to allow it.

I don't really agree. You do however have to accept and become happy with one of LaTeX's ideas about what makes good figure placement though.
Personal responsibility is a thing. Where does this idea that everyone must be protected from themselves come from? More importantly, where does it end? Should your barber be held accountable for providing a bad stock tip too?
Governments sometimes demolish highways though. And a lot of the time, the marginal utility of adding another lane to a road is lower than the utility of using that space and public money somewhere else. If we scale a car-centric city to a million inhabitants we often end up with a majority of urban space devoted to roads and parking lots, which cost public money, instead of commercial and residential buildings which generate opportunities for the inhabitants and money for the municipality.

Another problem of car-centric infrastructure is that it doesn't scale as well as public transport - a single bus can, potentially, take 50 or more cars off the road.

Nope, I only looked up the Elixir solution for the sake of my reply here. I haven't worked with Elixir in like 9 months.

Based on the docs it says IP.Subnet.is_in only supports IPv4. The Python and Ruby solutions transparently support both. That kind of sums up my Elixir experience (ie. something might partially exist but to really use it will require a lot of extra work). It's also impressive at how infrequently the Elixir docs come up in Google searches. It's strange considering how many words are there and it's the official source of information for the language.
Why might Western Europe have advanced faster than other cultures that weren't "under the iron grip of the Christian church"?

Islamic civilization, in particular, made crucial contributions during that time. Newton couldn't have invented modern physics without hundreds of years of preparation by Islamic mathematicians (including Arabic numerals, algebra, and trigonometry).

And it was really Rome, not Christianity, that was responsible for the stagnation in the west. The Romans were great at practical application but contributed very little new theoretical knowledge even before they converted to Christianity.

What progress was made during the six hundred years between Aristotle and Constantine?
"In addition, Apple is developing features to restrict network operators from intervening in the data traffic. This is called [iCloud Private Relay] which ensures providers no longer have access by encrypting and redirecting the data via Apple’s servers."

This can be and is easily disabled by a network or mobile configuration. Vodafone and Deutsche Telekom will just do the same.

>bitcoin is not a "store of value"

Agreed on much of what you wrote, but this isn't accurate. Anything is a store of value if people say it is. Baseball cards, art, books etc. all fall under the same definition.
When value/worth are being calculated by scrum master metrics, your job will migrate to gaming those metrics.

Not if you count the mining aspect. But even if you didn't: Wind and solar are now 3 times cheaper or more, and take a lot less time to set up. The power output stability benefit is wearing thin.
In specifically public transit, though — buses, streetcars, metros — there’s no option to “pay for the better one.
When I was new to Ruby and hadn't learned the available tools yet, I had similar problems because I brought practices from other languages that didn't work.

Typically, what you're describing is solved, in different ways depending on your setup. I literally never think about the issue you're describing when using Ruby.

- With Rails/ActiveSupport in development mode: Module B is autoloaded lazily when C refers to it.

- With Rails/ActiveSupport in production mode: All modules are eagerly loaded at startup.

- Plain Ruby: There's a few ways, but most gems simply have a file at the top level that eagerly requires all files when the gem is required. Same with an app.

If startup time becomes an issue, you can configure the autoloading at the top level, and the appropriate file will be required lazily when it's referred to. But at that point, just use ActiveSupport.
The commenter "novok" admitted in another reply, which was apparently flagged, that he knows me and has been following me on Twitter for years, and proceeded to give me even more unsolicited life advice. It was all very much directed at me personally.

> Tor, VPN and proxy services can protect from this [...] Of course, the latter two can also sell your information instead of Vodafone.

This is a good point. However it's also worth pointing out that it's not a fruitless endeavour. There are very limited ISP options and none of them are transparent about logging but it's well known to happen. However with a VPN there are comparably limitless options.

They just need to be chosen carefully, and while you can never be sure it's better than the guaranteed invasion of privacy by your ISP.
If you have a whole team of high performers, you still are going to have to fire one of them. The high and low performers are not evenly distributed across teams because good people do their best not to take bad jobs.

> They will not have the space for epic scale solar farms.
...space vs population situation.

Your math is totally wrong, space was never an issie for solar. It tales 100x less space for a coutry to cover it's power needs with solar, than it does for a country to grow it's own food and feed it's own people. So every country thats not a city-state, like Vatikan, is fine.

All the challaneges of Solar are around intermittency, cost and ofcourse it's less viable in northern lattitudes. But none of them are around space.
No. Having customers is limiting.
As someone who has made free stuff in the past, what's even the point if other people don't engage with it? And does it even count as engagement if its just fluff and not critical engagement? Positive vibes only makes the positive vibes meaningless.
> fusion is just going to increase the rate at which we are transforming this planet into a giant pile of garbage

Thank you for saying this. Unlimited almost-free energy makes energy-saving measures moot, including building insulation. People would heat or cool even open spaces with little regard for the environment.

And all the heat is eventually released into the atmosphere.

Consumerism would be supercharged as well. Indeed we need a huge shift of societal priorities.

(Needless to say, when I point that out HN downvoted me. Here technology is always and only good.)

edit: there you go, already downvoted at -2 for saying the same thing as the parent.
We could build a bunch of space radiators. But really this isn't something we need to think about for a while...global energy consumption is less than 1/10,000th of the energy deposited in soil and water by the sun.

I had at least one photo with one of my cats in my last set of dating profile photos. The goal isn’t to get the most responses, it’s to get the right ones. The premise of the study is flawed, IMO, assuming the goal is to be broadly popular rather than getting a smaller batch of more likely matches.

Note: now married to a woman who is equally fond of cats.
I have no idea why you think reality agrees with you. I “believe” in superposition, entanglement, and the like because I’ve tested it myself in a lab with a six qubit quantum computer I built.
A store of value allows you to get the value back out: if I spend a bunch of money and effort mining iron ore, or growing wheat, or building a house, I have the ore or wheat or house which has intrinsic value. Maybe now I don't need to grow as much wheat next year.

Bitcoins take value to create, and creating it consumes that energy / compute, but all you get out of it is a receipt that proves you spent the resources. You can't use the bitcoin for anything; you can only sell it to someone else who thinks it's a store of value.

For Focus and Pivot do the engineers need to sign paperwork saying they are acknowledging being put into the URA threshold/PIP program?

What about if someone leaves and they were never officially put into Focus or Pivot? I've heard of someone leaving where their manager never put them through any part of PIP, and then after they left they found out they weren't allowed to rejoin Amazon for a year. IIRC Amazon lets employees rejoin up to 6 months after leaving, maybe longer, usually.

Honestly my experience with python has been "the solution you're looking for probably exists, but using it will require a lot of effort, and heaven help you if you need to debug someone else's code", but I have mostly dealt with Django which is a nightmare of hidden code and tensorflow.

We had the likes of Netscape Composer, Front Page and Dreamweaver. They produced mountains of un-maintainable and not non-compliant html code.

When HTML5 came along there was a big push for compliant sites. Also it made sense to have a developer use the power of CSS3 to handle layouts and responsiveness elegantly. So the WYSIWYG editors fell out of favour.
I can't say I agree with the banning of modest clothing (nor, for that matter, with calling all clothing that does not abide by Sharia rules "immodest"), but mandating mixed sex bathing seems very reasonable. You just have to phrase it a little differently - banning segregated bathing.

Or do you think French law should tolerate, for example, race-segregated bathing? If not, why should sex-segregation be treated different?
UI Drafter, a free platform for prototyping custom apps without code or graphic design concerns.

Motivation:

In my experience, figuring out and understanding the requirements of technical business apps, e.g. a pharma batch record, is the hardest part of software development.
