Are there statistics for this type of thing (average age when first child arrives)? I knew I was an outlier (I had my first kid at 20, and yes it was a conscious decision), but 27 being relatively young makes me feel like an even greater outlier than I had predicted.

I lived and traveled all around central florida, and don't remember ever really seeing a mosquito much less getting bit by one. The spray and chemicals they put in the gray water work wonders.

Unless you as an individual are somehow more equipped to deal with emergencies than camp staff, I'm not sure being reachable would make any difference. I would hope in a real emergency, the first call would be to the appropriate emergency service regardless.
Adding electronics to a bicycle shifter seems like an incredibly bad idea. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.
You seem to be saying that fowl have good color vision, so hunters of those need to avoid the orange stuff, and other hunters can't rely on seeing it to avoid shooting one another.

F1 and F3 have been racing on the very same track at Montecarlo since last year. FE is more or less a Formula 3 car there. Then FE has some silly tracks like London last weekend.

To be fair, F1 on a non oval circuit is much faster than anything else. Check the times of F1 and Indycar at COTA.

Limit Theory Source Code Release
Congratulations on the launch Stefan and Ilia! I'm a PhD student in robotics and autonomy and I've always wondered why something like this already didn't exist, at least for 90% of the 'doable' field robotics tasks. I think you're closer to what Skydio did in the autonomous drones for enterprise space - abstract the autonomy part and just put a little effort into customer-specific requirements. A couple of quick questions:

1. When you say you're built on top of ROS, do you mean the autonomy stack you'd deploy in an actual robot is built on ROS? Are you using ROS or ROS2?

2. What hardware does your current autonomy stack use? For parts of your stack that'd depend on using deep learning based methods (e.g. any image or lidar data), the models that you'd train would have to use a lot of collected and annotated data specific to a particular problem/industry and this would take a non-trivial amount of time, especially since you said the camera/sensor configuration is not fixed can can potentially be decided I the simulator by the user. How do you plan to tackle this?

PS: Any potential internship opportunities at Polymath in the coming few months that I can apply to?
Correct. Most of them appear to have been feasting on me this week. Grr.
I doubt the Filipino SEC or the Montana whatever office has the ability. The US SEC doesn’t prosecute but they can give information to Federal Prosecutors. My guess is they don’t have the legal authority or capability to do those things.
As a litmus test, choose a few random city in the US. Get times for a 41 mile (average commute) public transportation trip, and times using a private car. You'll might be surprised how much longer it is.
That's because the article was likely a contract-written piece by a copywriter who knows nothing about the subject.
Ask HN: Forgot my Snapchat password and have a new number. What now?
I have a ~4 year old snapchat account that I use to keep in touch with a lot of people. There are a lot of close friends that I only communicate with through that app and have no other way to contact.

The phone number I used to sign up with was discarded years ago and there doesn't appear to be any alternative way to reset my password (unless I had signed up with an email, which I didn't).

Am I just shit out of luck? I really, really, really don't want to lose those connections. A lot of them are people I was stationed overseas with while in the military.
Genuinely curious, what did you have in the diary that trumped testing early days FE cars?

I would have ditched most everything to drive an FE car, even work, and I have no driving license / interest in F1 (and am 26+).
Indeed. And these things:

> the justification that a good one is well worth the price.

that's just what they (the execs in bigger corps) say to fool the employees, make them shut up. Or to look good in the press?
> People have no idea what's running when they download a docker image.

This is true of software packages and especially of third-party libraries; supply chain attacks are supply chain attacks. But similarly, supply chain controls are supply chain controls, and using Docker does not mean running someone else's container.

(For example, we build our own hardened base images, and on those we install our own services, and the result is precisely as trusted as building our own hardened AMI and installing our services on that.)
> MongoDB is an Open Source noSQL DB hence fast and fully scalable and extendable

'hence'? Does not follow. Sure, this particular implementation may be considered fast and scalable. The wording seems to indicate it is 'fast' and 'scalable' just because it is NoSQL.

My girlfriend will stop and clean the house if she sees a crumb, but I don’t think she knows she can close tabs. She probably has a tab for everything she’s ever looked at on the internet. They never go away. It’s as overwhelming to me as my inability to spot a crumb is to her.
I was being sarcastic not abusive. There is a big difference. Let me also point out that this whole page is political and therefore should not be allowed according to the guidelines. It can be argued of course that the "solution" presented in the article is novel enough to warrant an exception. But a counter argument is that the solution is just a variation on what we have seen before when cities selectively fail to uphold the law and citizens try other solutions to protect their neighbourhood and families. This is a story we have seen many times before and we will see many more variations of in the future. With the same old predictable comments repeating themselves on HN. So is this whole page really novel enough to not be in violation of the guidelines? I agree with the guidelines but they have no credibility if not enforced consistently.
The headline is somewhat misleading. If you read the ruling [1], especially around the Standing, it makes more sense.

Basically, Fleites is alleging that Mindgeek was monetizing child pornography, and that Visa was aware, forming a civil conspiracy. At this point in the trial, they aren't determining the veracity of the allegations, just whether Fleites has standing to sue if the allegations are true (i.e. they are assumed to be true at this point).

Fleites is saying that Visa harmed her by providing monetization to Mindgeek, giving her standing to sue Visa. Visa tried to escape liability by claiming that the harm can't be traced to them. They claim that all the harm was caused by Mindgeek and the uploader, and thus that Fleites has no standing to even attempt to sue them.

The judge ruled that if Visa was aware of the child pornography problems and continued to provide services, they did knowingly harm Fleites, and she has standing to sue.

That seems reasonable to me. Under the assumption the allegations are true, Visa provided a means for Mindgeek to convert child pornography into money, creating an economic incentive for Mindgeek to continue hosting such content, which led to the harm inflicted on Fleites.

It all hinges on whether Visa was aware of the problems or not, but this isn't the stage of the trial where that is determined. I would venture to guess that it will fall apart when it comes to determining the veracity of the claims. I'd be surprised if Visa was aware of the issues, and even more surprised if they wrote it down somewhere it could be subpoenaed. Visa can't raise that point right now though, so they tried to argue against standing since that's what they're allowed to raise at the moment.

Look at the wording closely: it says "rumored to be." That's corporate-speak for "we're lying."

Guarantee if Disney were using natural pesticides, they'd be shouting their lungs out about it, especially in what appears to be a corporate-paid-for blogspam article.
I'm shocked they missed a pun opportunity in the headline.

I’ve never heard of a European healthcare system mass producing its own medication (except in communist countries and their remnants). European healthcare systems achieve lower prices through bulk orders and using the massive market to negotiate lower prices.

"Apple's approach to third-party OSes is essentially "have fun". We do not have any expectations of direct support, documentation, or additional development effort from them, nor do we expect them to attempt to hinder third-party OSes in any deliberate way. They have explicitly developed the ability to securely run third-party OSes and bootloaders on these machines, and left the rest to us."

No money in this business.
I think one also has to be wary about conflating fear of the government and fear of reaction from their family in a socially conservative society (and Singapore is, whilst certainly less conservative than much of Asia and rarely overt in its homophobia like large minorities in much of the West, a country where more than half the population disapprove of homosexuality). I certainly heard no shortage of worries about outing from people growing up in certain parts of the USA.

The Singaporean government's position is illiberal and weirdly contorted on homosexuality (the longstanding and repeatedly reaffirmed policy has been don't remove or enforce the old colonial ban on it, and permit pride events in specific areas) but ironically the reason it hasn't liberalised it yet is because it's afraid of public backlash rather than out of desire to impose behavioural rules on the population.
I've described this as "Nomad is a container orchestrator, while Kubernetes has a container orchestrator".

Nomad, Consul and Vault interoperate extremely well and are mostly pleasant to use, but I found myself missing the rest of the ecosystem pretty quickly, especially around ingresses, and I think they made the wrong decision on the networking model compared to Kubernetes.

That said, I haven't played with Consul Connect, the Consul+Envoy service mesh, yet. That might address a lot of the problems. But fundamentally I can't help but think that Nomad and Kubernetes both made a run of it and Kubernetes came out the winner of mindshare and ecosystem.
It's not the best of habits yet I currently have 3109, recently migrated to Sidebery from Panorama View [0]. I'll likely go pruning soon, yet having time context of what I was looking at (by neighboring tabs and indent levels) is so useful for sparking my memory and associating ideas. I've tried using bookmarks and tagging yet the tooling around that is annoying enough I keep coming back to having an obscene amount of tabs open.

Ideally, I'd like a bookmarking system which allows for referencing tab history, past visits and other tabs viewed in each visit's timeframe, manual tagging, external references, and more, yet that doesn't exist yet. I've looked into developing such an extension, yet tab history APIs are clunky enough I haven't bothered going further. If anyone knows of other extensions that fill this niche, I'd love to hear of them.

Does the Wasm sandbox actually catch use-after-free? I thought it was just out-of-bounds accesses or something like that, but I mostly have no idea.

This seems dubious to me. I can't imagine it would aerosolize, and even droplets would need to be close to a human to infect them.

Is there a citation for this?
How do you stay motivated?
We are all going to end up paying for this.

Regardless of what you think of crypto and it’s incredible power usage this just goes to show that side channel payments are going to be really important. Visa et al are far too powerful. Not to mention the downsides of financial surveillance.

Cash, crypto not using proof of stake, whatever. I’m not smart enough to solve it but I do want to sideskirt more obtuse “rules” that shouldn’t exist in the first place.
Hashicorp is very inflexible about support plans -- either you go all in on their Enterprise product, or you're self supported. By the time you've licensed Nomad, Consul and Vault -- because they interact and you will find Nomad support ends where Consul support begins, and so on -- it is a LOT of money.
Almost like a kind of cartel? But about CXO salaries instead of prices of goods
I'm a lot less worried about Apple closing off alternate operating systems than I am about not being able to replace the SSD when it inevitably dies. I'd dearly love a Mac Studio, but not if it's guaranteed to become an expensive paperweight for lack of serviceability. I routinely keep computers 10+ years, and unless Apple's SSD can last that long without babying it to a ridiculous degree, it's a non-starter.

As someone who grew up with an Apple II+, this "no user serviceable parts inside" mentality has infuriated me about Apple since 1984, so this is nothing new. I've long wanted to love Apple products, but that footgun just has to come out.

But I'll give Apple a great deal of credit that they have (even if unofficially) helped rather than hindered the Asahi project. Make a Mac that uses off-the-shelf SSDs at the very least (RAM is a second rant), and I'd be in "shut up and take my money" mode.
It does cost a lot, but in most cases you're going to get more bang for your buck. (and you can also forgo features you don't like or need: like a homeowner's association; or pre-existing utility connections you don't want).

The other thing about building a home - particularly if you're in a high-demand area, the appreciation in the first 2 years is pretty insane.

If growing a startup into a successful business was a solved problem, then there wouldn't be as many failures. My point is: why does their appear to be an assumption that only a "dud" exec fails? Where is the allowance for the fact that there are a lot of random variables?

Don't get me wrong, I know executives make poor decisions (and have seen a few myself first hand), but also I've seen decisions that nobody knew were right or not (or at least they didn't say so, at the time). Yet if it failed, of course the armchair quarterbacks come out with the "I told you so."
> through bulk orders and using the massive market to negotiate lower prices.

Although through regulatory pressures: "if you're too expensive we're not approving you"... usually works.
You know, punched card decks used to store data -- very small amounts of data, at least relative to tapes -- which in turn stored very small amounts of data relative to disk drives, etc., etc.

On that note, if one wanted to make an improvised data storage device, for storing very small amounts of data (for let's say, a future Zombie Apocalypse, or what-have-you!) -- then what about using a Printer/OCR combo -- to store small amounts of data (relatively speaking!) -- as graphical designs, dot graphs, similar to punch cards, in effect, on pieces of ordinary printer paper?

Oh sure, it wouldn't store Gigabytes of information, or even Megabytes or Killobytes -- but you could probably fit some early historical computer programs onto standard printer paper -- just printed as dot patterns!

Which leads to another interesting question!

Given a Printer of X DPI printing capacity, and an OCR of Y DPI scanning capacity:

a) What algorithm or algorithms should be used to put the maximum amount of information that can be reliably scanned (100% accuracy every time!) back onto the the page?

b) What encoding method should be used?

c) What checksumming/CRC/hash/error correcting method should be used to insure 100% accuracy?

d) Are there any other potential snags or gotchas, such as the inability to print and/or scan on a specific part of a page and/or issues with inks fading over time, etc., etc.?

e) All of the above with only black and white permitted...?

f) All of the above with grayscale permitted...?

g) All of the above with all colors that a printer can produce permitted...?

An interesting question in information storage/retrieval, no?

Perhaps it would make a good future interview question...

Anyway, love the card punch emulator!
