This was left out of the story:

> At the height of the tensions, on September 11, 1857, at least 120 California-bound settlers from Arkansas, Missouri and other states, including unarmed men, women and children, were killed in remote southwestern Utah by a group of local Mormon militia. They first claimed that the migrants were killed by Natives but it was proven otherwise. This event was later called the Mountain Meadows Massacre and the motives behind the incident remain unclear.

> The Aiken massacre took place the following month. In October 1857, Mormons arrested six Californians traveling through Utah and charged them with being spies for the U.S. Army. They were released but were later murdered and robbed of their stock and $25,000.

> Other incidents of violence have also been linked to the Utah War, including a Native American attack on the Mormon mission of Fort Lemhi in eastern Oregon Territory, modern-day Idaho. They killed two Mormons and wounded several others. The historian Brigham Madsen notes, "[T]he responsibility for the [Fort Limhi raid] lay mainly with the Bannock." David Bigler concludes that the raid was probably caused by members of the Utah Expedition who were trying to replenish their stores of livestock that had been stolen by Mormon raiders.

> It doesn't matter if there are safeguards, technical, or institutional preventions in place.

Except the American company made it clear that no such safeguards will be in place and that it will transfer the data out of its EU servers if legally complied to do so. This can be found in the German text at https://rewis.io/urteile/urteil/ocw-13-07-2022-1-vk-2322/ .

> Regions. Customer can specify the location(s) where Customer Data will be processed within the X. Network (each a "Region'), including Regions in the EEX. Once Customer has made its choice, X. will not transfer Customer Data from Customer's selected Region(s) except as necessary to provide the Services initiated by Customer, or as necessary to comply with the law or binding order of a governmental body.

Any governmental body can request access to EU users data and the data will be moved out of the EU region. At best it provides that it will challenge any inappropriate or overly broad request, but there is no legal framework for what qualifies as such between the EU and US and the US is unlikely to care about challenges that have no legal basis.

cool experiment, but whitespace is a terrible delineator. ironically one of the most disliked parts of lisp by newcomers, the parens, ends up becoming its greatest strength once you have grokked things.
Parinfer hits the sweet-spot for me -- you still get the benefits of the parens, but the indentation is still enforced to match, and changing either one causes the other to be updated accordingly

The criteria seem to be mostly designed to ensure that people who aren't using it as their main account can't do things that cost Monzo lots of money. That said, if you want to deal mostly with cash then Monzo probably isn't for you, and I think they're ok with that.
I think a lot of the problem is how they communicated it. It isn't like "Well hey we have a problem here", it's just "Hey here's this super complicated to this problem you didn't know existed and you can take it or leave it"
I have been involved in the development of systems similar to this one. Typically the systems keeping the data on-site or within jurisdiction do not allow for remote login. Otherwise, keying is done remotely in an area with lower labor costs.
> I make fun of people who try to paint the GOP with that, too.

In the most literal sense: I have no dog in this fight. But I don't think there is anything funny at all about having a major political party with Nazi's in it. We have a couple of those clowns here in NL in politics as well and fortunately for now the mainstream parties are staying well clear of that. But there may come a day that they will embrace it and then - as far as I'm concerned - all bets are off because it means that the mainstream and the fringe no longer care about being seen together. Note that the actual Nazi's came to power on somewhere between 10 and 15% of the electorate. You may be a lot closer to that than you think.
OTOH demand only rose because of corporate advertising pushing a consumerist culture. They made the demand. People didn't want corn flakes before they existed. Things are made then marketed not the other way around.

I think it would be useful if news outlets signed their video content using watermarking techniques. Then social media sites where news is shared could automatically check for recognised signatures for major outlets and give it a checkmark or something. The signature could be easily removed but video without the checkmark would then be suspicious. It would also be useful if they added signed timecodes to frames so it could be checked if the video has been edited.

It depends on how the contract is written, and nobody reads the T&Cs, so they are probably written to the benefit of the merchant. If you sign a contract that says you will pay $X for service Y each month until canceled, then you are still legally liable to pay that until you cancel as stated in the contract.
> Money doesn't move instantly

It will shortly (testing phase is in progress since 2022Q1). FedNow instant payment rails go live next year and payments are required to settle within ~8 seconds. Transaction cost the Fed charges is 5 cents, up to $500k per transaction ($100k while it shakes out initially).

(Tangentially, [Transfer]Wise is very compelling for moving value internationally, and is instant in a lot of cases; they also plug into instant transfer rails in local currencies whenever possible)

I don't think it's reasonable that I'm paying more than my share of taxes for the defense capabilities that allows Europe free access to a stable world market and roughly rules based international order that underpins the export economy of Germany in particular. If Europe would fix that, I'd feel a lot worse about the spying.
> I never understood why we don't have more indie browsers. Individual developers love implementing their own take on anything: from the most simple projects to crazy ones like booting Linux from JavaScript or entire operating systems. Why are those talented individuals not implementing their own browsers?

My understanding is it's been a long time since a browser was a cool little thing a single person could hack up in a reasonable amount of time. Now web standards are such that it's like some massive line-of-business app with a million requirements that all have to be implemented (and be fast, and be memory efficient) or something will break/someone will complain.

What if there are no EU employees?
The cloud providers can work with independent operators that run their cloud solutions in Europe. Basically an on-premise setup, just on a huge scale.

Microsoft initially did this for Azure, I believe.

Certainly will cause a lot of friction.
I would argue China-US relationships are not that of allies or friends. There isn't a war or cold war going on, but I wouldn't pretend that the relations between China and the US are peaceful and represent trustful tranquility.

I would argue the relationship between Europe and US are substantially better, although not without frustrations from both sides, some warranted and some not.

At the very least, several countries are in a formal defensive alliance with the US and each other (NATO).
In this case I would

- cancel subscription using the same method I used to sign up (if it is broken - that is not my problem)

- cease providing them money

I would consider it as preventing fraud by scammers that make harder to cancel subscription than it was to create it.
They are not referring to the same kind of physical (or even Euclidean) dimensions you are inferring. They are talking about connectivity and vectors.
Does tech legislation need to be kept up more quickly? I really like the default being no regulation and filling in where needed. It’s reactive by nature. I don’t know what broad legislation would have been put in place proactively to help tech be better governed (without specifying honing in on a specific business/industry after the fact).

I fear more of if the legislation process is too fast moving it become subject to mob mentality. Instead of #deletefacebook we may have gone straight to a knee jerk reaction of legislation that bans social media which I’m not sure I want to live in that world either.

one of the problems with accuracy on an ak47 is not so much the mechanism itself, but the more limited and weird options for mounting a modern red dot sight or holographic sight. when compared to a modern nato-spec rifle with fully railed top.

very modern AK designs have hinged dust covers with rail on top, you can mount on that. needs tighter fitting more precision rear cover that doesn't slop around as much.

older AK designs have limited spots to mount a modern rifle sight on them. some hacks exist to remove the rear sight position and jam a piece of 1913 rail onto it and then mount an optic on that.

if you look at photos of russian infantry using their version of the ak104 they have dust covers with 1913 rails on them.

other options for a side-rail-mount that extends off the left side of the lower part of the receiver and float a rail above the dust cover are an ugly hack.
It's chiefly difficulty reading & navigating the code due to all the magic (made even worse by dynamic typing), plus reliance on extensive, comprehensive tests to maintain any amount of confidence it's doing what it's supposed to, or even to figure out what it's supposed to be doing. Not that tests aren't handy just about everywhere, but it's a matter of degree of reliance on them and how bad a time you'll have if the test suite's absent, or stale & neglected.
> if you consider scientific research an organism of sorts

Somewhat off-topic, but at a macro level, society itself and the systems it produces are fundamentally the same thing as the individual cells that make up our bodies (the specifics of what those systems act on and the context in which they act in are obviously different). Basically every societal structure can be reduced to the behaviors of an organic system at some level of complexity.
My email is in my profile. I'd like to talk more.
One topic that I didn't see it address: should your game be replayable? For many (most?) of my favorite games, movies, and books, I don't really care about experiencing them again. The first time through was delightful, and then I'm happy to move on and try other things.

It's great if your game is replayable, but not all games need to worry about replayability. And even if your game is replayable, it should still be fun even to people who only play through once, without locking core mechanics behind endless repetition. And the pursuit of replayability is no excuse for trying to get your players addicted; players should feel free to stop when they've had their fill, without any pressure to consume more.
This is definitely the case in Germany and Austria. You can't just stop paying your subscription and consider this a successful cancellation thinking everything goes away and sorts itself out naturally.

They'll send the collection agency after you for the missed payments till the end of the contractual agreement, which for most gyms is 3 to 12 months! Gym chains here are absolutely predatory.

The same goes for any other kind of subscription too like, telcos, etc.
It would have been an act of war. Ukraine would have had to fight the Russian army protecting the nukes in Ukraine.

Despite the breakup of the USSR, I don't think Russia would have let that happen.

For comparison, How do you think that the USA would react if Turkey tried to size control of US nukes housed there?
1. When you call free matters - it does something after all!

2. You can build abstractions that call free for you. The common withX callback-style function can be better typed with linear types and call free for you, for instance.

Given that Fred Wilson (the blog author) is a renowned VC with 30+ years experience and dozens of famous investments … him saying it is the citation you’re looking for.

Maybe "asking 'why'" isn't the right way to express it. Perhaps what the OP was really after here was a concrete illustration of the formula, rather than a rigorous derivation of the formula from first principles.

There are many concrete geometrical illustrations of fundamental concepts in algebra, but most people aren't even aware that they exist.

The niece's comment, oddly, both points to this and glosses over it. You don't teach a child multiplication by only forcing them to memorize times tables. You also show them stacks of coins, etc. But we do teach children algebra by only forcing them to memorize symbolic procedures. Meanwhile Book 2 of Euclid is free online, or very cheap from Dover.
World time buddy dropped their paid plan
I've used this tool for free for several years and decided to support them by buying a subscription (even though AdBlock does really good job there so ads don't disturb me).

I was surprised to see that they recently got rid of their paid plan and provide ad-free experience after signing in.
These are interesting reads - I wish HN had a save feature so I could keep track of them.

Anybody found out which projects on gitlab exceed the 45 TB limit?

I'm curious what kind of project would even need such a repository size. From a distant view this sounds like heavily mismanaged build artifacts in the project's git history; or abused storage for free CDN of video data or similar.

The problem isn't non EU services, it's the US CLOUD act

Other countries have legal systems which are considered as offering equivalent protection:

> The European Commission has so far recognised Andorra, Argentina, Canada (commercial organisations), Faroe Islands, Guernsey, Israel, Isle of Man, Japan, Jersey, New Zealand, Republic of Korea, Switzerland , the United Kingdom under the GDPR and the LED, and Uruguay as providing adequate protection.

And for many more countries standard contractual clauses would probably be enough

Rust does allow you to easily call functions or methods that may error by using the `?` operator (formerly `try!` macro)

https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/macro.try.html

You can also implement `From` (see `impl From` in the above doc) to define how you want external error types to be converted.

Its one of the rare languages where there isn't much boilerplate involved in using `Result`-style errors, even compared to exceptions (Swift is like this too)

There is even backtrace support for Result types: https://docs.rs/trace-error/latest/trace_error/

I can distinctly remember in my second or third year of engineering undergrad doing some stuff with the Radon Transform. At the time I had nothing to map it too. The maths to me was completely abstract. I just sat there, thought hard, and worked through problem after problem until it became intuitive. Now I have difficulty understanding what I found hard, because it all fits together with loads of other things into a coherent mass of concepts.

It was interesting to me because it was one of a few times as an adult where I realised the framework was completely missing and I would just have to start from scratch, which meant lots of rote effort and thinking hard. There was no shortcut.

The web browser which actually made the web usable and popularized it was Mosaic.

"Mosaic was developed at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign beginning in late 1992." -- Wikipedia

Other than Linux's European origin, Europe has not produced any viable operating system or browser. It continues to rely on key software of American origin, like the rest of the world.
All of these assume you need the government to keep track of who spends what money - something that MANY people would heavily disagree with.
For public services, as in government public. From the page:

The case concerns a decision by the Vergabekammer Baden-Württemberg ("Procurement chamber Baden-Wuerttemberg"), the administrative authority that reviews the public procurement procedures.

On 3.11.2021, a public authority issued a Europe-wide invitation to tender for the procurement of software for digital management via an open procedure. The award criteria contained, among other things, requirements for data protection and IT security. The public authority received offers from company A and company B.
The Ukraine war is small stakes compared to what the U.S. and USSR did during the Cold War. The U.S. accepted stalemate in Korea and defeat in Vietnam rather than go nuclear. They will not do it over Ukraine. It is not “must-win” for the U.S.

Supporting Ukraine is not even significantly risking U.S. influence or standing in the EU. Getting Finland and Sweden into NATO is a benefit to the U.S. that will endure even if Ukraine completely falls (which it won’t).

I guess there is a chance that Russia could initiate a nuclear exchange if Putin is 100% suicidally insane. I don’t believe that he is.
Porter Rockwell was dubbed the "Destroying Angel," but he was definitely a bona fide law man. But you're right that there is some evidence that he was also kind of the frontier version of a James Bond type secret service or special forces operative with a license to kill. And his boss was Brigham Young, who was a bit drunk on power. Mountain Meadows is absolutely a disgrace and a scandal that should (and does) taint the reputations of Young and other Mormon leaders of the time, but it's more understandable once you consider the greater context of the Utah war. The Utahns were paranoid and on high alert. And Brigham Young in particular was concerned about being deposed and jailed, so he had an interest in keeping people whipped up.

It's luck because you have no direct control over it - it happens by unpredictable circumstances.

Think of networking, and imagine every person you meet and build a rapport with as non-parametric distribution that you're randomly sampling from over time (future interactions). You have no clue if each sample is going to yield positive results, but you can increase your chance of a positive outcome overall by increasing the number of distributions (people) you're sampling from (maintaining relationships).

So much of it ends up by random chance, what else could it be but luck?

They could also be the most power-user browser available.

Unfortunately, it seems like they've gotten absolutely high off of telemetry, and seem like they're just itching to cut features and break things.
