A teenager getting pregnant from another teenager is extremely common, and likely more common than the alternative. Burning a body is also an extremely traditional, something like 60% of Americans are cremated. Suggesting the police need to be involved in totally ordinary circumstances seems silly to me.
Relative to daily US/global petroleum demand, the stategic oil reserve really isn't that big. I don't think it will cause a noticeable impact in prices.

>Have you not just described AWS Lambda and other similar serverless offerings?

OK, first let's define "serverless" -- "serverless" in this context means "code still runs on a computer" -- but that computer is (usually, but not always!) stripped of many of the usual resources typically associated with having an "online server", which could (but doesn't have to!) include the stripping away of an Operating System (at least, one visible to the running program), API calls, file system, system files, etc., etc.

But AWS Lambda code still runs on a computer somewhere -- and that computer is connected to the Internet. The idea of having remote code running on a computer over a network -- is not a new one in computing -- it's a very old one -- so this part of things I am not describing!

I am describing, at a high-level, the invokation possibilites for that code.

>This is why we have CloudWatch Events (now called EventBridge).

Yes, Amazon has its own message bus system (call it a "message bus", call it a "message broker" -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message_broker -- note the list of other message broker software -- this idea is also not a new one!) whereby two parties using that system can set up what Amazon calls "events" (result of a message traversing that infrastructure).

There's nothing wrong with that -- but I search for something more generic, more global, more not-invented-yet...

I search for a way that a single user (not a pair -- one required to set up an event producer, one required to set up an event consumer) could, if the single user wanted to, set up an event for themselves -- which would run their code (or perform some functionality) -- as a result of some change somewhere in the global internet...

For example, let's say I'm interested in "Robotics".

And somebody, somewhere on the Internet -- puts up a new web page about "Robotics".

Well, this person, whoever they are -- is not going to explicitly code an AWS generator and subsequently publish/send an "Event" to me, especially if one of us, but more likely, both of us, are not on Amazon's system, right?

So I think about how the above scenario might work in a future online community.

AWS is great for what it does -- and it gets us a long way to that idea -- but it doesn't get us ALL of the way there...

That was the point of the abstract thought behind my message...
The pseudo-source view also came (and still comes) with noticeable performance drawbacks. Opening the inspector on a nested element using today's browsers' built-in inspectors (which are implemented in HTML nowadays) can be slower than if you were to do the same thing on the same graph with a Web development extension in Firefox, since extensions were able to use the XUL platform, and that meant being free to implement nsITreeView.

And that's even with the advantage of modern hardware and and the trick where modern development tools will choose to elide elements in favor of showing a message that says that some nodes are hidden, with a button to e.g. "Show all 347 nodes". I just tried this with a 5000-row table, and clicking the "Show all[...]" button in Firefox's built-in developer tools has seemingly no effect at first—the inspector appears appears unresponsive for several seconds, before finally painting the expansion. In programs from 15 years ago running on 15+ year old hardware, on the other hand, this could expected to be nearly instant.

Jamie Brandon recently complained about this sort of thing, comparing the experience of creating an information-dense UI using imgui versus doing the same "on the web" (i.e. in the browser, using HTML):

To answer your question breaking laws designed to help people versus laws designed to persecute people are very different things. It’s all very well being in favour of the rule of law, but unjust laws are tyranny. When companies assist with tyranny, they can and should get bad press, whether that tyrrany happens in China, Russia or America. They choose where to trade, where to be registered and where to employ people.

That logic cuts both ways.

There are a lot of people in this country who genuinely believe that abortion is murder, and that's why we are in this mess in the first place. Those people believe laws that permit abortion are unjust and deeply immoral -- should they start using that as an excuse to punish people who legally obtained abortions, blockade clinics, etc.?

In a country with widely divergent religious and political views, we would end up with anarchy if everyone started disobeying laws they believed were unjust.

I can't use jpackage on Windows to build Mac binaries, but not having FX installed is what kind of problem? Just use jpackage to create an .app for Mac, an installer or portable build for Windows, and a .deb or executable binary for Linux. It bundles all dependencies and users can just click and run it.

My dad grew up in the region around Ladakh. His village got a single paved road in 1982 and a single electric connection in 1985. Relatives would have to walk MILES in the cold and high elevation to get an elementary education, and child malnutrition and mortality was significant (my grandmother and a number of her peers had lost at least 1 child to diseases like typhus, cholera, etc). All this happened before the development that globalization brought. Globalization helped a number of people in our region gain access to a better quality of life than anything their parents or grandparents could imagine. In addition, the benefits of globalized culture and communication meant even positive aspects like women empowerment could start to gain a foothold - no longer would you have to aim only to study up to the 10th grade if you're lucky and become a housewife, now you can aim for college and become a professional. There are a number of issues in the modern world, but firangis in their ivory towers with their weird orientalized conceptions of the worlds are not in a position to talk about this subject.

Why does the New York Times prosper while Gannett struggles?
I've always though the points per unit time measurement system is dumb. Maybe points per 10k miles or something instead. Bill who gets into a wreck and drives like a bat out of hell the 3 times of the year he manages to break out of his schizophrenia disorder enough to drive could get only 9 points, or 3 points on every occasion he drives. Whereas the responsible driver who drives non-stop racking up 100,000 miles in a year and accidently driving through just 4 bad speed-trap towns by accident could end up with 12 points despite being far safer.

IMO the points system is as much about punishing people who depend on driving a lot as much as it is about punishing unsafe drivers.

This has almost nothing to do with Powell. The demand spike began easing months ago as gasoline inventories began to go up.

The thing about the Fed and both parties is their only tool for tackling inflation is to suppress worker wages by spiking unemployment. That's what monetary policy is designed to do. But it's not the only way to tackle demand.

But you can do the same thing with taxation (eg Spain's windfall tax [1]). Why is it no one in US politics talking about that? The answer should be obvious: both parties exist to protect the capital-owning class and won't do anything that migh thurt profits.

> human drivers are actually really good at navigating complex situations. These systems however, are not.

This determination needs to be made with data. As far as I can tell there is no conclusive evidence that Teslas on autopilot are involved in more crashes per mile than human drivers, and some evidence that it is safer, though that comes from Tesla, so not giving that much weight. So either it's somewhere close to as safe as human drivers, or data collection in this area is just really bad. I don't know which.
What makes you so sure an "artifical" system has no qualia?

Do you find that hard to believe? Why?

Why could having qualia not be some kind of inherent, perhaps emergent property of all systems complex enough to be called intelligent? And why is this an issue at all? This could be some unknowable mysterious meta-physical property that has no practical bearing on anything.

What is the angle here? Are you worried it is important? There is literally zero indication it is important or am I missing something here?

I don't think strategy around managing oil reserves factors in elections with respect to when and how much they maintain in the reserve.
Probably the same, but in Canada, a lot of our Universities have "embedded" colleges. For example, York University has Glendon College which is a French school, and quite a few other colleges under the York umbrella. University of Western Ontario has Elborn College (among a couple others) and 3 university colleges.

I think it is probably very common for Universities to have college faculties. They also often have Halls, Lodges, Schools, and so on, under the main University umbrella.
Likewise the emergence of analog outputs from a computer would be fun. It may be niche at first, but imagine if the output was moving some wooden sculpture or the output changed an analog letter board. Would create a bit of permanence rather than everything digital being so transient.
Agreed on your points but less sexism please.

The really important part is: when you decide to break an unjust law, don't talk about it on surveilled platforms, they're complicit and will hand your ass in. Don't bring your smartphone with you either.

Edit: yes I understand the laws themselves are sexist, but HN users didn't write the laws, and the "all you men" fingerpointing isn't really productive. Why the men here? You have much easier and more significant targets than male HN users.

I just want to say for the record that this comment briefly had a positive score before I got dogpiled.
Everybody seems to be reading and answering this from the assumption that the writer of this article wants you to believe Facebook is bad for complying with this warrant, but I can't see where that is the case. I read the article and she's just reporting what happened. There is no statement saying this is bad, anyone should be outraged, or that they should ignore and/or break laws. Presumably, part of the reason for writing articles like this is just to inform people who might think of breaking the law not to engage in their conspiracies to break laws using Facebook private messages as the communications medium. Drug dealers and terrorists are well aware by now, but people who weren't breaking the law a few weeks ago need to know.
I haven't really fully thought it out. But you could maybe use the microphone to detect crying (if the baby is conscious). There is an internal camera that might help as well to detect movement but may be a bit more difficult with rear facing car seats. I wonder if the weight sensor that triggers the seat belt warnings is sensitive enough to detect a baseline weight of the car seat and the weight of a child.
Your bank has the ability to reject the funds (and some banks will allow you to broadly control deposits with a credit block).

"On the basis of distance to airport coefficients, children living within 500 m, 1,000 m, or 1,500 m of an airport had average blood lead levels that were 4.4, 3.8, or 2.1% higher, respectively, than other children."

On the other hand, in 1971 lead averaged 2.5 g/gal.

The decline in air lead concentrations between 2001 and 2002 is likely due to lower lead concentrations at sites in Herculaneum, Missouri.")

Social media search warrants for abortion law enforcement is the issue.

The legality of 23rd-week abortions in parts of Europe is not an issue.
The motive is the same general motive you see in genocide of indigenous people around the world - from what China does to Tibetans and Uyghurs, to Canada's history of rounding up kids to put them in extremely abusive schools who freely said stuff about how they beat the indian out of the child, it's all just the way people behave when they're colonizing others. The motive is only recently seeing any organized challenge to this, it's pretty wild to look at comment sections on things and seeing the amount of genocide denial out there on this particular topic. If they exhume those alleged unmarked graves with archaeologists and find actual children's remains traceable to the nearby schools, then these people saying they could be anything have a lot of words to eat.
> they have a limited amount of time in their lives

That's a good rationale for hiring a cleaner or eating at a restaurant. But I honestly haven't seen a smart device actually saving you a significant amount of time. Even a perfectly functioning vacuum robot only relieves you of vacuuming the floor. You still have to do all the other chores that are involved in keeping your place clean and tidy.

> and life involves trust to one degree or another.

Indeed it does, but trust includes deciding who you can trust. Why would you specifically trust a tech company not to collect data about you?

> The same reason I don't worry about auditing the engineering that went into my toaster or microwave. Or car.

Incentives of toaster and car companies are roughly aligned with yours: The companies have no interest in setting your house on fire or causing a car crash. Meanwhile, incentives of smart device makers are strongly disaligned with yours: They you want to keep privacy, they want as much data about you as they can get.

This is one of the weird differences between say, the Apple Music client and the Spotify client where the Music one has essentially the 'player' and 'library' parts separate from the 'store' and 'recommendations' part.

There is a phrase: accidental complexity.

Systems can be broken down into two sets of complexity: Accidental and Essential. Accidental complexity is there because of something to do with the system, but is not, strictly, inherent to the problem being solved. That would be essential complexity.

The "it is not ad, it is recommendation" thing is just pissing me off even more. A lot of companies now pulling that stunt.
