It doesn't work like that. Once Congress enacts something then it can be preempted by federal law. Just because the activity took place in a single state doesn't mean that the Federal courts don't have jurisdiction. Erisa is a good example.
No because when I went to register, my account couldn’t be automatically authorized (probably because I had just moved). Instead for authorization they require that I fill out a form, have a certifying officer at a financial institution sign it, and mail it in. I couldn’t be bothered for only 10k.

Ask HN: Blog post SEO checker tool?
Hi there,

I've been doing some blog posts for jobboardsearch.com and would be handy a SEO checker tool, like:

- Correct metas
- Correct H tags
- Correct content based on keyword
- Keyword density
- etc. etc.

What tool do you recommend?
EU regulations + individual country restrictions are written in a way that's allergic to running a profitable business (with a few notable exceptions).
While I agree in the general sense that climate science is worthy of scrutiny (as any other science is), anthropogenic contributions to climate change have been proven to 5σ certainly via satellite data for some time now. It's not as certain as the radius of the earth at a given point in time, but it is as certain as the existence of the Higgs boson. At this point, any contrary assessment would requires an extraordinarily robust rebuttal.
I'm always curious in general for people hiring in somewhat less popular languages like Rust: Do you consider people without any Rust experience?
Historically US bonds have been one of the hardest things to actually lose; as they will go through painful amounts of attempts to salvage them (via purchase history, reconstructing burnt physical bonds, reissuing, etc).
Would look very similar with named arguments, no?
That's not really comparable though, as it's basically composite work. The AI has the ability to infer then to "imagine" with photorealistic results.

There would be small details kept intact between the source image and the output that would make it feel much more personal than even the best manual fakes of today.

Electrons don't have legs, but the concept might.

How does the electron wavelength compare to the incidence of the geometry?

Gamma = h bar/ momentum

Where, m = m*v

In a DC circuit the momentum can be held fairly stable once in a state of superconductance, but v is increasing up to the breakover point. Which in turn is decreasing wavelength. Bit of a trouble for a static 'circuit'.

None of that is quantum anything, but it gets you thinking.
If this were the only factor, Houston would be the most innovative tech city in the US.
I can estimate exactly when that was done; it was all the rage around the time of the "IGN Orange savings account" or whatever it was in the early 2000s.

The problem is that Apple isn't investing in a platform for everyone. As such, they're liable to get their ass whooped by antitrust suits time immemorial until they either -

1. Make the web a suitable platform for application delivery

- or -

2. Allow third-party alternatives to the App Store

Apple doesn't like it. No shit, their shareholders would throw a riot if they abandoned their 80-billion/year cash cow. Unfortunately, that exploitation is a very real consequence of first-party vendor abuse that we shouldn't have allowed to happen in the first place. Microsoft tried making the web into their "App Store" a few decades ago, and they were rightfully sued into oblivion and beaten with rolled-up newspapers. We should have done the same thing to Apple before they became so self-entitled.

If you don't want to use the web for apps, then don't. I'm sure Apple would be happy for you to spend that money on the App Store instead, where they can happily take their cut. But consumers need the option. That's just not up for debate. Apple will kick and scream and make it as ugly as possible, but that's purely because they're facing technologies that threaten their business model as they know it. How long can they continue to do this before the dam bursts?
>The Washington Post[1] did seem to engage in a a bit of introspection eventually

Unfortunately, this is a common tactic. Walking back a previous wrong assertion allows one to frame it as a virtue--"we corrected ourselves!"--in order to avoid talking about the original vice of being a copy-and-paste propaganda organ for the state.

There seems to be a very tight integration between the government and the major media, and this is a real problem. It's not surprising, as a journalist that is a burr in the saddle of government power soon finds it difficult to talk to government entities. But it is a problem if there really is no journalistic independence. In recent years, journalists seem to be little more than Twitter researchers. Complete randos from the Internet, some of whom were clearly a little bit mad, got closer to the actual truth than the "trusted experts."
Honestly I find most studies based solely on self-reported data worthless.

What people say they’ll do/buy is often only loosely correlated with what actually happens.

See:

-YouTube thumbnail controversy, vs what people actually click on

-/r/apple and other comment section’s obsession with the commercially-failed mini lineup of iPhones

-everyone says ads don’t work on them, but ads work

I could go on

If you pick up watercolors and try to paint an illustration, then pick up oils and try doing the same, then pick chalk, pencils, etc, and try doing the same, do you feel any one of those art tools/supplies make the others redundant or "retro"?

Do you feel art is a technical problem that must be somehow "solved", and once "solved" we can move on to more worthy endeavors?

I care because ATSC 3.0 includes AC-4, a proprietary Dolby format. None of my software will play the audio from ATSC 3.0 over the air broadcasts for this reason.

ATSC 3.0 is a government standard for how public airwaves should be used. It strikes me as wrong that the government has basically mandated Dolby licensing for hardware manufacturers and software libraries.

Hey Tim! Thanks a lot for sharing your experience with T.LY! I'm definitely going to implement some abuse prevention measures over the next few days. My first instinct is to prevent folks from pointing shortlinks to certain malicious sites – do you think that'll be enough? Or are there other abuse vectors?

Also, very interesting note regarding the hash combinations! The main focus of Dub is probably going to be for folks to add their own domains – but this is something that I'll keep in mind as well!
I'm really curious about the evolutionary path these birds may have taken to an adaptation that allows them to fly 8-10 days non-stop. A couple ideas, assuming that any change evolution can keep up with needs to be gradual/incremental:

Could they have been making this journey since the land masses in question were significantly closer together?

Could they have originally migrated between closer locations, but as weather warmed post-ice-age they slowly increased the length of migration between "temperate northern hemisphere" and "temperate southern hemisphere" climates?

Could sea level rises post-ice-age have covered over islands that were formerly stopping points, or pushed back shorelines that effectively increased the distance required?

Curious to hear what other ideas folks might have.

This is the crux of the issue. Organizations have no incentive to invest in good security because they don't see any negative ROI in the now. It's amazing just how much they invest after the fact of a breach. They have to assume they will be breached at some point and have all the necessary operational security in place when they do get breached to limit the blast radius.

Opsec is usually an infosec term, but businesses do opsec all the time to protect assets and inventories, only it's not called opsec, just 'standard practice', or a 'business plan' or other terms, but really it's opsec under the hood. Also, opsec is not new, it's something long practiced by organizations and companies across the world.
This. Depending on your portfolio, time value, and investment objectives, there isn’t any point in jumping through hoops for a few hundred bucks and having the funds illiquid versus something you can liquidate in a few clicks (or margin for immediate access for another opportunity).

Anyone remembers the open format HDR10+ pushed by Fox, Panasonic, and Samsung?

Me neither.

The world at large has settled on Dolby Vision and Atmos and it will be very difficult to change this. Not only from the consumer end but specially in the pro audio/video end.

Google would need first to offer plugins for DAWs, video software, etc, to work with these formats before there's enough content that manufacturers and streamers consider it.
Like 80486? Which I guess was 3 years better than 68000.
Additionally, the 10% will probably only last for a year or two, at which point it'll be earning 1-3% and we'll have all jumped through these hoops for $100-300/year.
America's cable companies have succeeded through unethical partnerships with state, local, and federal politicians. The industry is a cartel that has long enjoyed monopoly protection against video competition, and plays the political game extremely well. The result is cable companies have dishonest and anti-consumer corporate cultures. Happily, technological and some regulatory competition are forcing some incumbents to improve (Comcast in particular) but as a group these companies are best understood as the vicious winners of a legalized system of bribery.
Certainly proposed orders are very normal, especially (but not exclusively) if a resolution has been agreed to by both parties (e.g. settlement, or order by mutual stipulation).

But this was very much not that. A proposed order would match what was being argued in the attached brief, and this did pretty much the exact opposite, rejecting the arguments in the attached letter.
It's almost certainly a Medallion Signature which is somehow a Notary with superpowers.

I actually needed one earlier this year. My bank no longer had a special signature person at the branch so they sent it to special signature central--which somehow didn't have the info they needed even though the bank branch sent it to them. Ended up just doing the longer drive to my broker and handling the transaction there.

Relevant C. S. Lewis:

"It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.

> If you have not bought I bonds yet, why not?

With interest rates climbing, I do believe there's a chance of deflation risk, which would set the I-bonds to 0% in the next interest rate. That is to say, I-bonds are variable rate against inflation. US Treasury bonds are fixed rate. You get exactly the rate that's on the tin.

I think that I-bonds are more difficult to understand and calculate in light of this. Its easier and simpler in my opinion, to simply invest into 1M or 3M treasuries while waiting for the interest rates to climb up.

--------

Its a hard balancing act for sure. I-Bonds (and their closely related TIPS brothers) are a play on inflation. Which means you need to understand one more thing in the market.

At least I-bonds are capped at 0% losses. TIPS may lose value in deflation

$900 (10k at 9%) is less than one day's work going by my day job totalcomp. The extra cognitive load of another investment platform is better spent on my day job.

And as others have said, this is comparing to 0%. If you look around you can find everyday banks giving "whole digits" on savings account for at least these small amounts, so it's more like $700 compared to baseline cash.

I'd maybe be interested if it 10x'd the limit.

The evidence includes the actual record of rising temperatures, rising CO2 levels, and laboratory experiments that confirm that the greenhouse effect exists. None of those are just models.

Even sticking to that particularly narrow definition, if you give a commission to two artists, one using only stable diffusion and the other more traditional methods, are you confident that you will always prefer the work done with stable diffusion?

I remember once telling a friend of mine, after I'd spent several years writing Clojure full-time, that upon getting back into writing C++, the feeling was like "sculpting with electricity."

I’ve been buying the maximum for years. They’re uninteresting as an investment since all they do is keep up with inflation, so I certainly wouldn’t want to put much money into them even if I could. But it’s only $10k per year, and it seems fine as a small hedge position.
Because the mandate is not about phones or data. It's about battery powered devices and charging. I don't need data in the cable for my wireless earbuds, or my battery pack. My toothbrush or my beard trimmer. So that hypothetical USB C cable doesn't have to be thrown away, it can still be used for other devices. Which is why standardization is good.

Today's state of the art is what? a 2-hour flight from Delhi to Mumbai, then a 16-hour nonstop from Mumbai to Newark? 18 hours in the air. Versus a hypothetical 4 hour Delha-Dubai then 5 hour Dubai-NY for 9 hours total in the air.

So $1,100 for today vs $7,000 for supersonic (using business class fares as a proxy) to save 9 hours of flight time. My assertion is that there's relatively few people on any given route who have enough money and fly that route enough to make this a viable niche outside of a very limited set of routes.

I hear you on that! But also the notion of spending $7k for each of us is somehow worse.
Things I wish I knew earlier.

When you buy them, you lock in the current rate for 6 months from the date you purchase & then you get the next rate for 6 months after that. So today you get 9.62% for 6 months, so you'll technically earn 4.81% interest on your money after 6 months from the date of purchase. You'll then get the next rate which is most likely 3% for 6 months (often quoted as 6% annually). This site does an amazing job tracking what the future rate will be - https://tipswatch.com/tracking-inflation-and-i-bonds/

They will announce the final next 6 months rate in October. You can buy then (around the 15th) if you want. If you buy after November 1, you won't get the current 4.81% (aka 9.62%). But as stated, the October rate is pretty well calculated. Only 1 more inflation report will adjust it slightly. See the Tipswatch site I linked to for info on how & when it's calculated.

Each person can buy $10,000. If you got a tax rebate you can buy up to $5,000 with that. If you have a company, the company can buy $10,000.

Must be a US Citizen.

Someone who works at the US Treasury thought it was a good idea to make you type a password with a "virtual keyboard" using your mouse. So you might want to create a script in your password manager to enter in the console like this:

var x = PASSWORD_AS_STRING;
for(var i = 0; i < x.length; i++){
PasswordVK(x[i])
}

As an under the age of 30 person, Covid is a small threat. But asking questions about a government mandated vaccine that was rushed through testing in an unprecedented manner labels you a loony. Questions like who is going to be liable for the inevitable even if small bad reactions? Not big pharma, they were absolved in the contract of all liability. If they were so confident and if this is so safe that I don’t have to worry about it as a citizen why did the lawyers ensure that they wouldn’t be liable?

What about the precedence of liberty this sets? In a series of weeks the government removed nearly all agency overnight and everyone complied. There was no real debate on pros and cons of the total lockdown.

The ineffectiveness of masks other than n95 when changed out daily. Which nobody had.

I have friends that still won’t consider the vanity fair article or lab leak theory as anything other than conspiracy.

Oh yea and the ever falling efficacy of the vaccine itself.

But let’s check cress to make sure I’m a dr.

Strict aliasing is what prevents compilers from having to sprinkle Load-Hit-Stores all over the place. This is not a marginal performance difference, and doubly-so for CPUs with deep execution pipelines. It also has massive code-reordering implications.

In any case, Strict Aliasing is not a flippant rule that compilers like to apply. It's a formal component of the ISO standard that C++ is.

You can chose to make a deal with a compiler (via a flag) to compile otherwise non-compliant code in a consistent way, but that does not change the fact that the code is non-compliant.

I think Rust's combination of data-bearing enums and destructive move semantics goes a really long way towards letting library authors express their invariants through the type system. And that's in addition to the borrow checker and mutable aliasing rules. The mutable aliasing rules in particular are often kind of annoying for callers, but they're a godsend for API authors, because they allow for methods like Mutex::get_mut that don't even need to lock the Mutex, in safe code!
