The scientific community generally does a pretty good job of shooting down big claims like this that get published (see: Pons and Fleischmann), so what's the huge benefit? On top of this, if it's to have any value, the reviewers of the article would need to recreate whatever code was used to process the raw data OR audit the existing code to make sure it made sense, both of which are pretty heavy duty tasks. Reviewers don't get paid, so this is a good way to ensure no one wants to review articles for your journal.
One of our managers told a story about someone using Deepfake during video interviews; it looked weird and artifacty but the quality was shit anyway so they just attributed it to that.

Honestly don't know if it's true or just a story but now we only hire remote in the US and after the initial screens we fly out candidates for in-person (pay for the flight and -if needed- hotel).
Fabricating data is fraud. The reputation of the university is harmed. The public is harmed by potentially providing grants for follow up research. Other researchers are harmed by wasting their time. It seems like one potential fix would be to prosecute people who perpetrate such fraud.

I suspect most mainstream distros will swiftly drop the code if they get a revocation notice. They are already paranoid.

If the software disappears from mainstream distros and its upstream repo is shut down, with notices that the free license has been revoked and forking isn't permitted, it's only a matter of time before it fizzles away.

If it's something of great interest to individual hobbyists, it might persist for years, but enterprises and institutions will not knowingly want to touch it. (If they really need it, they may seek licensing of the continuing proprietary version, if it exists).

If a security vulnerability is found in the code, it may need expert attention; but the experts will be required to perpetrate copyright infringement in order to fix it; it will have to be done anonymously. Then you need some place to host that and so on.

The proprietary version will have all the fixes and improvements, so that the old once-free version will just recede into the past as a broken old illegal version of a proprietary program, essentially no different from an ancient source code leak.

> How they thought that would translate into expertise in making cars is beyond me

Is there any concrete statement/"evidence" that they ever seriously intended to "make cars"? Media reports always talk about "Apple cars", but the concrete visible bits I've seen also fit a software/computer-angle. But "Apple is dabbling in self-driving tech like any other large company with lots of money and an AI/ML-department" isn't as catchy a story.
> Faux wood is everywhere, as are laser-carved patterns that collect dust

To me this looks like the natural consequence of people not cleaning their own houses. Same thing with 3000sqft/300m^2 houses in the US for that matter.
So one thing to distinguish from is:

a) Having emotional/mental/psychological distress

b) whether you classify that as "mental illness", and what effect classifying it as mental illness has.

My gut reaction is that with regard to (a), people are having a lot of emotional distress these days, and that this is not a response or effect of focusing on mental health or suggesting that everyone has mental illness. I think it is probably cultural, but for deeper and more structural cultural reasons than "whether we believe everyone has mental illness" (or even whether we believe everyone has "emotional distress"... although clearly everyone does to some extent? i think in any culture?)

But as to (b), how we understand emotional distress and how we classify it is definitely very culturally defined. I am not convinced that, for instance, classifying it as a "disease" or "illness" is accurate or useful. (useful? In helping people experience less distress or live the lives they want, I suppose). I am especially not convinced that classifying it as the result of a "neurochemical imbalance" is accurate or useful. I think the way we classify and understand this kind of emotional distress matters for how well we deal with it, and we may not be doing so very well.

But I don't think that "unhelpful classifying" is what's causing the, I think, actually escalating levels of mental distress.

And in general, I think acknowledging that lots of people feel a lot of emotional distress these days is helpful, that you are not alone, that you are not broken, that in fact that you may not be "ill" or have a "disease" (which doens't mean you aren't having a problem, or that things can't change for you). The category of illness or disease, after all, is necessarily exceptional rather than universal, right?

You may or may not agree with my analysis (I'm not sure how we'd investigate in an evidence-based way, or if we can), but perhaps still find the distinction between (a) and (b) helpful.

Duplicating everything is unnecessary. Duplicating the thing which is foundational to a groundbreaking discovery is necessary. Beyond fraud there could be just an honest mistake or some fluke confounding factor.
I think this is probably more common than we might think. Given remote work being preferred lately, this is probably doable, especially if companies are hiring large numbers of random contractors. I know my old team members (I retired recently) have gone through a ton of remote contractors recently, many of whom were completely useless. Thankfully I only hired people before Covid hit, and at that point everyone was required to work in office (at least for the work I was responsible for). Everyone I did take on was either excellent or at least competant. I did hire most of them off of phone interviews only, so maybe I was lucky.

If an experienced person does the interviewing asking the right questions / requiring tests / etc might be insufficient to realize the person you are interviewing is not the person who will do the work. I wonder how you would catch this before actually having the "worker" start.

I guess this is a downside of all remote work assuming your company is less than thorough in checking references/documents/etc.
To clarify, when I meant speak, I meant speak in a language that I have just started to learn.
The largest databases I've worked with were sharded, each with replicas and failover of writers. With 100s of shards each database is a smaller database and maybe doesn't even count as the largest I've worked with.

Large but smaller ones were federated (divided by tables rather than rows) also with group replication and replicas. The most interesting case was switching over a MySQL 5.6 InnoDB to a 5.7 TokuDB storage engine. Bringing up a new replica used to take hours to catch up depending on how old a snapshot you were starting with. Using TokuDB it took 10s of minutes, well under an hour. TokuDB isn't quite as effective as LSMTrees but MyRocks/RocksDB wasn't (isn't?) ready for 5.7 and last I checked had some stricter requirements.

The best think about MySQL is how (relatively) easy it is to set up replication with multiple-writers, and even load-balance/failover behind a TCP proxy like keepalived. Backups are pretty easy to script, stop replication on an instance, stop it, copy files, resume (and let it catch up replication, then re-add to query pool).

When you scale vertically to 512GB memory servers using NUMA memory, things get tricky. Had to tweak the BIOSes to get the same spec'd machines to behave mostly the same w.r.t. thread utilization and settle on a memory buffer partitioning scheme that minimized lock waits. Also split off slow queries to 'reporting' read-replica instance(s).

Nowadays folks would probably prefer managed services like AWS Aurora.
Russia has an enormous reason to sabotage NordStream 1 and 2, because russia has contractualized massive amount of gas to sell to Germany and other for decades, it explains why Uniper has to be bailed out. If Gazprom fails to meet its expectations it is liable for a reimbursement so it wants to avoid going to international arbitration that would use all the russian money frozen, so it has organized plausible deniability with the turbine, and now with NS1/NS2, and is currently messing up with the one transiting in ukraine as it is menacing to ban Naftogaz.
Previous HN discussion on Don Libes and this essential CLI tool:

Kill-sticky, a bookmarklet to remove sticky elements and restore scrolling
What other effective means? The USA already imposed direct sanctions on Germany to try and stop Nord Stream 2 from being built, a very hostile move that supposedly resulted in 'incomprehension' in the German Foreign Office. It didn't work.

Nowhere near (re-)opening: we don't really know this. The Greens are loud and extreme (saying they don't care how much pain Germans suffer) but we don't know what's going on behind the scenes. USA spies on all the European countries all the time and obviously Russia too, so they presumably have better insight into the true state of German decision making than we do here on HN. It's possible they got some intel that was interpreted as meaning that they were getting close to re-opening NS1 or open NS2 and decided to act before that was possible.

There's also some evidence that this may have been planned for a long time, in which case it would again make no sense to be Russia.

Way back in 2015 an underwater robot laden with explosives was found next to the NS pipelines by Swedish special forces:

https://www.pipeline-journal.net/news/explosive-laden-drone-...

Who was opposed to NS in 2015? Only the USA. But it gets worse :( In August the US Navy entered the area right next to where the explosions happened and then switched off their identification transponders:

https://www.ndr.de/nachrichten/schleswig-holstein/US-Navy-ze...

(auto translation) "A total of 4,000 US soldiers, helicopter pilots, marines, doctors and strategists are on their way east. At around 6 a.m. on Wednesday morning, the association had already passed the Danish island of Bornholm, when the Americans switched off their automatic ship identification systems (AIS) and could no longer be located without further ado."

It seems to me like this is going to immediately turn into another COVID lab leak problem where the media and governments go into overdrive to bury the most obvious and straightforward explanation. Give it 24 hours and linking to the articles I just showed you will be banned on Twitter/Facebook and anyone saying "the USA is the most obvious suspect" will be banned from YouTube. Then maybe in three years suddenly it'll become acceptable to talk about.
Wow, congratulations, Apple managed to hotglue a screen to the dash. But how about the rest of the car?

What's the seating like? Is the suspension firm or soft? How big are its blindspots? Can it make it over a grass median without bottoming out? What about a snow bank? How well does the frame cope with rust? Can you manipulate its doors with a hand full of groceries? Do the brakes fade when fully loaded? Does it oversteer or underwater under hard cornering?

There's so much more to a car than its dashboard and powerplant, but I feel like 90% of SV think all you need to do to disrupt the auto market is bolt an iPad to a motor

Most of the dictionaries I just Googled disagree with your assessment.

Gotta say since the British Petroleum scandal last decade, Big Oil has done a bang-up job of not having oil spills. And you know that's ecological, it was one of Standard Oil's priorities, to reduce waste. First to use burn gasoline to power their trains stedda dumping it in rivers. That sounds like it's not ecological but think it through it's got words that don't sound ecological like the word gasoline and the word burn, but think it through, it's very ecological. Oil spills are bad for the environment right? They now have cleanup costs. The companies ought to be more careful. And now they are! They are careful! In addition to all that it's oil they can sell, meaning for somebody to burn, carbon dioxide is pretty innocuous compared to all other oil derivatives. It's profits too! And then they do it, and then! Nobody says anything. Nobody thanks them. Nobody says "hey you did a pretty gosh darn good fucking job at selling oil."

Nobody says that.

I'm nobody, so I can say that.

We had that same rotary network in school (1986). It was neat that you would download to multiple machines at once, then upload from individuals. Of course we'd play Telengard and Battlezone when not programming, or using the hex editor to put 4 letter words in Battlezone. Fun times. I have a Model 100 I need to dig out and play with. I'd still like to have a Model 3.
None of these make much sense.

It does make sense. The pipelines were already shut down. So the tactical impact of blowing holes in the pipelines is to prevent them from being turned back on. Previously, it was possible that the EU would come to a negotiation with Russia to get gas back. Now, it's not possible, or at least much less possible.

That doesn't tell us who exactly blew holes in the pipeline. But it certainly makes sense as a maneuver in the geopolitical game, to take a certain set of options off the table.
They would also need to steal the persons SSN and likely need to get through one of those identity check questionnaires from credit agencies. And they’d probably need to fake an ID as well.

Non trivial stuff for a specific target.
A lot of mental "illness" is just being sad, which is a natural and healthy thing for humans to experience from time to time, even for possibly an extended period of time. I'm disturbed by the effort to "destigmatize" it from employers who see this as a challenge to productivity and therefore the bottom line. Like the idea that burnout is some special mental health condition and not just realizing your job stinks.
> They have a culture that really doesn't like asking questions, which is weird, as they are the raw materials of the site.

I totally disagree!

I have 50k rep on StackOverflow, and roughly a quarter of that comes from the questions I've asked (I have 213 questions, 166 answers). In fact, that is my favorite way to interact with the site; I personally get excited when I find a question of mine that isn't answered on StackOverflow.

That said, writing a good question is an art. The impression that SO has a culture of not asking questions I think is at least partly impacted by the aspects of the culture that came into existence to deal with the huge deluge of really bad questions that it gets literally every second of every day.

Then, even if you put in the time and effort to actually write a well researched and thought out question, it's not uncommon to get close votes and downvotes. This is unfortunate, but it also usually comes from a small fraction of users who see your question within its first 5 minutes of posting. Once that time has passed, and folks start arriving at your question from Google, the upvotes come in as a steady stream.
I don't get why Apple's user experience keeps being repeated as "second to none". It really depends on what you are doing and used to. I personally find Android easier to use than iOS, but maybe I would feel differently if I haven't been using it for a while.
Not really my wife’s BMW and my Jeep are both SUVs. They are pretty different and Jeep has started offering off road Hybrids. Eventually both companies will offer full EVs in existing lineups. The BMW is much better to drive but I wouldn’t take it off road. EVs will continue to fill the niche gaps their consumers want.
Russia don't want Uniper to sue Gazprom on international arbitrage for the missing gas volume and using the frozen russian asset to pay the penalties, so is creating those force majeure using plausible deniability like leaking turbine and now NS1/2

I remember an experience that I had on a LinkedIn group (and is also why I stopped taking them seriously).

A member of the group (it was a Swift Language group) asked a fairly reasonable developer question. It was sort of a "I have this technical problem, how do I solve it?"

This was something that I had actually solved, many times over, quite easily, so I answered it.

Surprisingly, my answer was ignored, even though it was the first one, and nailed the problem on the head.

Instead, a flood of "answers," came in, all recommending some developer tool/site.

They all got acknowledged. Some resulted in a bit of back-and-forth, between the asker and the answerer.

I noticed that all of the answerers were of the same nationality as the asker, and realized they were shills.

It was "guerrilla marketing."
Whenever I read these kinds of super-complicated scams, I can't help but think if the scammer would have instead invested all that time and effort into legitimate tech and interviewing skills, he/she could have just come in the front door!

> Even the German government might have done it in a "burn the boats" strategy.

I would prefer to assume governments are somewhat rational actors, who at least try to act in the interest of the own country.

In this case, the biggest loser from destroying NS1 and NS2 is Germany, second-biggest Russia and the rest of the Europe, sorted descending by the dependency on Russian gas.

As for the winners, we have the USA and Ukraine as biggest immediate winners, and indirectly and in the long-term India, China, Arab countries, ...
