Space Feather (a YouTuber who makes excellent video essays) has an awesome video essay on the older Max Headroom series: On Max Headroom: The Most Misunderstood Joke on TV [0]

Elijah Wood and Christopher Cantwell are behind the reboot, so it should be quite fun to watch!

As a beside, I still think Halt and Catch Fire is the most underappreciated TV series ever!

Queenslander here. Are you referring to intercity routes? Because all the private operators under TransLink (or qconnect) just tender to run the rotes in a specific service region.
I'm not sure how mixing legal terms from differing domains will pan out for your intended target audience, here in the Commonwealth hegemony we have issue with self representation in Court from those educated via central north american police and law shows .. quoting their US Constitutional Rights as a Free Citizen, etc.

That said, you might like, say, the New South Wales (Australian) guide to legal terms and self help:

https://www.lawaccess.nsw.gov.au/Pages/representing/lawassis...

which is government funded and assists in connecting people with legal aid and translating legal terms to plainspeak.

Best wishes with your endeavour.
I read a story of a NZ man who groped a woman's breast out on a walk.

He was banned from using a device that can access the Internet.

Sounds to me like the censors are doing a good job.
But people do still take thalidomide today, just not pregnant women, and only along with contraception.
essentially yes - the video channels and the docsis channels are distinct - and your street or close neighborhood may share the same docsis (and on-demand TV) while you city might share the same broadcast channels.

The document refers to "qam-lock" IMHO wrongly (I was a cable protocol/encryption wrangler in a previous life) - "qam-lock" is more a matter of tuning to a channel, sampling it to extract the signal (this means extracting a clock from it) then running the signal through enough of the error correction and framing logic so that you can extract the transport stream packets

That's "qam-lock" - at this point you still don't know what's in the stream - you could just look for 0x1ffe PIDs and decide you have DOCSIS - video qams will carry PAT tables in PID 0 which will point to PMTs (which can be in pid 0x1ffe) which in turn point to qams and PIDs containing video/audio/CA/etc (details vary greatly between implementations). Which is a long way of saying "just looking for PID 0x1ffe may not be enough"
Wow....what a great game, was not expecting to get hooked. Sure enough, I did.
You are assuming two things:

1) everyone knows you and what you have written and that makes you the authority (not true, obviously, and kind of makes you look like a top hat)

2) what you have written applies to the situation (not true; Russia is an authoritarian dictatorship where every business entity is potentially a state actor)
A few years back I saw an HNer recommend a "function box" game that's fun for kids. The kid tells you an input, and you tell the output. After a few iterations, the kid then guesses at what the function is that transforms the input into the output. You start with just addition/subtraction, then bring in multiplication, powers, etc., and mix-and-match.

Eventually you can swap roles, and the kid can proudly give you function boxes (usually there are some mistakes at first, but it's all part of the learning process). One interesting discovery that becomes apparent is that there are infinitely many function boxes that will yield the same result. Sometimes I would guess that my daughter's function was 2x + 3, and she would tell me that no it was "times four, divided by two, then add one then add two". We worked through how these functions are identical, even though they look very different.

Bigger picture, we try to connect learning math to being able to do things. Our older kid is very skilled at math and I have encouraged her to keep learning until she reaches her limit. But I've also made clear that the benefit of accelerating her math understanding now is not so she can become some amazing mathematician as an adult, which is very unlikely. Rather, it's so she can learn physics, economics, and all sorts of other things at a relatively young age, after having learned the math that is used in introductions to those subjects.

Lastly, we've also used Khan Academy (not KA Kids) quite a bit. The one downside to it is that it introduces a skill and then gives a quiz. This can lead to the false impression that practice is not required to master a skill. Eventually we decided that our kid had to do the quiz three times at 100% in order to move on — otherwise she'd get 100% in just one or two tries (it's mostly multiple choice), and think she'd mastered something she hadn't. This was frustrating for her, but it helped her to understand that practice is a necessary part of learning.
Thanks for both corrections, indeed you are right on both accounts.
It would be easier for cyclists to behave like vehicles if they actually had infrastructure available. No one is going 28mph on a sidewalk by the way. Honestly going much faster than a light jog is sketchy enough with all the utility poles, cracked sidewalks, debris, foliage, even living situations, that one is liable to encounter on the sidewalk, imo.
Name collisions are becoming quite common. Fortunately, these projects are at least in separate languages/environments.
The problem is places that aren't deserts are national parks, what you call the deserts are multiple entire states! I keep hearing your argument, what is this place that isn't a desert people should be farming and building on? Any place west if the missisipi that hasn't already been incorporated, what is it?

Why do you insist it isn't solvable?the tech is there, the money is there, the will is there. Do you have a better solution that acheives the dam goal or is your idea "someone else should figure it out?" Not being dismissive, I would like to know what it is. Population will grow and areas that are already occupied will become less and less habitable. Where else should people live in Nevada? In California, it is already filled with people to the brim in and out of the dessert.
I guess this offers an explanation for why payment processors ran like hell from porn.
They should just split more off into the west from the source in the great plains. Solve a lot of problems.
@bmitc: Reading your replies (some of which seem to have been written the same time I wrote mine), it seems we are on the same page; I'm also a mathematician and I also have some qualms with how people invent new names for automatic differentiation :)
I had a look at your bio and couldn't find any email address. Would you perhaps be interested in having a longer, scientific discussion about AD?
it's pretty much standard sysadmin things - not the author but try to explain each point in a little bit more detail anyway:

1. .hushlogin - I guess just personal preference - if you log in often it's nice to have

2. patches - update the box - same as apt-get update && apt-get upgrade on linux. doing this on fresh install is always a good idea.

3. atime=off - atime = access time is another metadata write on read and it's often not required and therefore disabled. There are some applications that depend of atime but it's a common performance improvement because you don't want to have writes when reading something - even if it's just metadata.

4. a list of tools the author uses.

5. make the shell nicer, also subjective

6. same as setting up sudo in linux but doas is more modern. You don't want to work as root all the time to reduce fatal errors and for security.

7. there are some theoretic attacks on dsa/ecdsa algorithms and I guess that's why these are disabled. Probably a good idea but there are millions of hosts with dsa/ecdsa ssh keys and nothing has happenend as far as I know.

8. default deny firewall rule that only allows ssh is always a good idea on a host that is on the internet. Automatic bots exploit anything pretty fast and quite a lot of software is reachable via internet by default without any security measures.

9. metrics - monitoring is always a good idea it's much easier to know what's going on and you can analyse / pinpoint problems much easier using some graphs. i.e. when did the network-traffic/cpu exploded - when did the disk fill up? node-exporter is pretty much the weapon of choice nowadays for that. Additional collectors for time (ntp) and disk stats are useful i.e. to alert if ntp doesn't work and to get some idea about device-utilisation.

10. bastille looks a tool for container deployments? https://bastillebsd.org/

b1. microcode has some relavance to security/cpu-bugs always a good idea for servers.

b2. correct time is super important. Lot's of stuff will break in subtle ways if the time is off - i.e. SAML/Kerberos etc.pp

b3. if your ssd/hdd is dying you will get an email if configured correctly.
To nitpick- not necessarily, the extra expense just gets added to the deficit
Instead of worrying about how we substitute every ICE car for an EV car, we should be trying to get cars off the road.

COVID has taught us that: people value being close to home, people value spending more time in their local communities, a sizable portion of the workforce does not need to commute to work. We should be leveraging these facts when planning towns, to reduce the reliance on cars.
It only has devDependencies:
https://github.com/olivernn/lunr.js/blob/master/package.json...
I'd expect people to immediately start the "cars are too damn big!" routine if I brought up traffic and the guidelines advise against posting inflammatory content. The point I'm making is even a relaxing walk in a park is "a complex dance of life and death".

I was surprised to see USR still exists, and they even make modems! Doesn’t seem like they’ve done much of any innovation, and now they’re part of some weird IT corp that I can barely understand what they even do.

Actually, your comparison between planes and cars is quite adapt. The airline industry likes to use death per km as a measure and you are correct they come out very safe with that measure. However, experts have argued that it is a very flawed metric because of the vary different distances covered by both means and the way risk is distributed (i.e. for flying the risk is almost entirely in the starti g and landing phase, while for a drive it is evenly distributed over the trip). If you use a metric like deaths per hour flying does not look so much more safe that driving actually (essentially the same as driving) [1]

Commercial cells doped with boron are meant for use in low-light applications due to higher efficiencies in lower/diffuse light, and are not very suited to direct-sunlight applications due to the tradeoff. Indium and Gallium-doped single-crystal silicon still wins in efficiency. Phosphorous I have not seen in any of the roughly 5 million cells I've handled as part of QC. I've heard of nanoparticles of phosphorous helping perovskite-based cells, but that's about it. I've never handled one in commercial production.
I have fond memories of Max Headroom but I think it worked at the time because of specific aesthetics and themes.

One could do something _like it_ today, but I'm not sure just redoing the same thing today would work.

I expect this to have a similar fate to the Knight Rider reboot.
> During the 1940s, the colonial government printed extraordinary amounts of money for military expenditure. All this new demand caused prices to soar, particularly for staple goods. The price of rice increased by 300 per cent. But because wages did not rise accordingly, ordinary people were pushed even deeper into poverty, forcing them to dramatically curtail their consumption of food and other goods. Meanwhile, any additional profits that fell into the laps of business owners as a result of the price inflation were taxed by the colonial state.

This sounds scarily similar to USA, except it’s not that extreme yet.

You don't even fully read the links you provide.

> Note that costs are for portions used in the menu; your up-front cost will be higher if you purchase all items on the list as packaged.

Furthermore, this is only for one person. This menu doesn't work for little kids because they need formula. It doesn't work for teenagers because they're ravenous eating machines. And if they're particularly active kids, then this doesn't even meet the caloric needs.

This menu is for an adult that is relatively sedentary. If you're talking about working class people that do manual labor, this is completely inadequate.

congratulations to both wordnote and stictionary!

but wow, this is very eerie—i have not written an app but thought about it!

i am using a combination of three iOS applications right now to achieve what both these apps are offering. the built-in dictionary of course, notes, and reminders. after looking up words using the built-in dictionary, i put them in notes. then about once a week, i do a review and set reminders for a few select words.

i have been doing this for a few years now. it's heartwarming to see these ideas validated not in one but two applications.
Assuming copper prices continue to outpace aluminum prices, eventually copper will be the expensive option vs. aluminum (done right). Not sure if the error prone aspect could be remedied though.
I was extremely disappointed to see this statistic trotted out in the New Yorker - almost as a throw away line. It’s such a weak claim for something to be “reputed to be” or “estimated by some” which is probably how it got past the fact checkers (I have not been able to find the source of the 1:100,000 estimate), but it’s stated with authority and smugness and contributes to national readers’ general misunderstandings of Utah and Latter-day Saints.

I know MLMs happen in and are more common in Utah than in other states for all the reasons people have identified in this thread, but it’s also true that high-trust communities have many many benefits, and though there are bad actors who figure out how to exploit these trust networks, the networks somehow stay resilient and help lead Utah to lead the nation on a number of wellness statistics such as the lowest unemployment rate in salt lake out of all big cities [1] and having the lowest income inequality other than Alaska and Wyoming (which have less than 1M people each) [2]

When I was a kid, my dad just said flash cards with me. Everything up through division. When we'd be out in public doing errands and such, he'd quiz me while we were out. Really simple to do, and I think it worked pretty well.

Whenever I see parents doing that with their kids in public, I get a smile.
Yes, it would, except the minds behind this have ample resources to not be ignorant.
K8s is trying to do distributed computing on a low-level OS platform that was never developed or designed for this purpose. Look at things like plan9 to see how much easier and more elegant it could be. Sure, plan9 doesn't provide k8s' autoscaling and provisioning features out of the box but the basic building blocks are all there. (And no, Linux is nowhere close to providing these patterns because custom user-space implementations of kernel-side features are only made possible on a totally ad-hoc basis.)

Sad that not reading the article before commenting has so obviously come to hacker news. So many comments on here moaning about harming the east to give to a greedy west when what something like this would almost certainly do is help the east flood less while helping the west at least partly solve a water shortage. The concerns about contamination are real but probably manageable though.
I tried to give this a shot as the blog post resonated with me but I simply couldn't get the app to work on my iPhone (13, iOS 15.6). When I first launched it I waited the database to setup ("Loading language database...") for more than two minutes. Knowing for sure it couldn't take that long, I restarted the app but it was the same issue. I then re-installed the app but then the app just gave me a blank white screen.

It's a new app, shit happens, and if there's a way I can do to help you diagnose the issue on my end, I'd be happy to.
Oof, the allthatsinteresting.com writeup (2021) is awfully similar to my telling of the incident (2007)[1]. Emphasis on awful. There are too many lazy "authors" out there willing to flirt with plagiarism in the name of generating content. And then Google rewards them for having newer content. Sigh.

Another comment claims the term was used way before in the 80’s to simply denote ‘source available’; the OSI was founded in the late 90’s.
Lol, thanks for the perspective from the across the water. I'm already surprised to learn how similar the concepts are (still) across all the common law countries. Even, say, between the U.S. and New Zealand. I was also surprised to find out how easy Canada's sites are to parse, which is why there are so many Canadian sources in the dataset. They're on top of their game with compliant and uniform web apps.

And yep, I found that page too, and it's on my list of Australian sources to add. This one's good, although not as readable:

I believe you've misplaced a decimal in your conclusion. 30,000 is 0.15% of 20,000,000, not .015%.

Still pretty insignificant, though.

The existence of a different kind of CPU isn't a meaningful distinction at the level of discussing paradigms. The semantics are different, so the abstract machine is different. The fact that I need a different set of atoms in my desktop to use it doesn't change the programming language part of the discussion.

The main paper to read is [1] which introduces a syntactic notion of differentiation in the lambda calculus connecting substitution and nondeterministic choice to differentiation in the calculus of infinitesimals sense and also introduces a meaningful notion of Taylor expansion of arbitrary programs. This paper is mostly of academic interest, though. The resulting expansion is wildly uncomputable meaning that more modern, practical papers like [2] cite it wistfully as a dream of what could be achieved. How to computably handle most of the constructs we care about in a general programming sense is very active, open research. At the time the paper was introduced, it was more influential on (and influenced by) work on probabilistic and quantum programming through their related models of linear logic [3]. There are only a few slight axiom differences that separate differential, logic, probabilistic, and quantum programming though, so if you're willing to accept one as a "paradigm", then you should accept the others.

Clearly you live in a media echo chamber, the leaders and youtubers who record those protests were targeted in the same way.

One YouTube journalist even got the police on camera conspiring to press fake charges so they could give him no internet bail conditions, and thus stop his future recording of those events. No media reported it.

The leaders were all charged with incitement, encouring others to do illegal things (like going outside).

You could argue the overreach that these people experienced is now being applied to other dissenting groups.
But people generally aren't choosing between driving somewhere 120 miles away or flying somewhere 1150 miles away. Generally, someone already has a destination in mind, and then chooses whether to drive or fly to get there. That makes deaths by time an extremely flawed metric, and deaths by distance the correct one to use.
