SFW. But this (probably) won't get me promoted!
so hes not a cop anymore, then uses credentials provided by previous employment to access an LEO app, and commit a crime.

this is beyond what one individual has done, there are levels of involvment.

this crime was enabled by others.
yw; good luck!
Neurons in a dish learn to play Pong – what’s next?
I'm very aware of the nature of my relationship as a tourist, but I do want to be an active participant and not a passive observer.
One simple (and perhaps actionable) way to express this idea.

Say you're two parents who are very conscientious about wanting your child to have "good outcomes" in life (i.e. have a good schooling experience, go to a good college, have a good job).

It is better, for your kids, for the family to live in an environment in which you (the parents!) are living comfortably and with minimal stress, than it is to attend a top 50 high school, (assuming that means trading off against comfort & stress).

By comfort/stress, I mean to say: money isn't a weekly, monthly, or even quarterly issue, jobs are low-stress, and you have a lot of spare energy/time to invest in your kids after school, on the weekends, and in the summer/holidays.

There are plenty of schools in the top 500 or top 1000 in the US that are in geographies check these box for you, your spouse, and your family, that don't cost $1000/month/child.

You might not be min-maxing your retirement accounts by taking jobs that allow you to work in-person/remotely there, but the compounding dividends paid by investing in your family and community carries much more value.
Ask HN: Will your job be affected by AI?
A quick survey. Do you feel you job could be affected by AI within the next 5 years? Please mention your role, AI impact and time frame.
Yeah you definitely deserve to complain about that experience. Though I've heard about tracking incompatibility issues (not with them though) - does not excuse the luggage loss of course
What did he lie about?
I was in Chicago in mid-May a few years ago and took a boat tour. The weather was still very cold and windy and it ended up being pretty miserable!

I'd still recommend it. But it taught me to pack based on the weather forecast and historical weather. I make sure to bring a warm and dry enough outer layers that I can sit outside for an extended period.

> That thread led me to a project/product idea where you take an existing Postgres instance used for normal products or whatever, replicate it to various read only clusters with a custom search extension loaded and some orchestrator sitting on top (I’ve written most of one in rust that uses 0mq to communicate with it’s nodes) and create drop in search from existing databases with a nice guided web gui for automatic tuning suitable for most business use cases.

Very interesting idea -- just want to add one thing, write it in rust (with pgx?[0]) :)

Regulating DAOs
Before version 10, the versioning scheme was different, and the first number was increased about once every five years: for example, 9.6 and 9.5 were consecutive yearly major releases. Version 7.0 was released around year 2000.
This reminds me of like 15 years ago when python.com was a porn site. Now it’s just a redirect to some sort of cam splash page.
Agreed here. There is no reason setting up IAM policies through Terraform takes four weeks. Anecdotally, on my own personal projects it took me maybe three hours, or more, to set up IAM policies for AWS Lambda, ECS and RDS.

As a retired sysadmin with 30 years experience, I can tell you with a good amount of certainty that nobody will care if they aren't already sysadmins. It is viewed as entirely unimportant to understand these things, and the only thing you need to get a job is good whiteboard/leet coding skills.

The world changed.
I would be willing this is linked to processed foods and modified starches in particular.
Accountability would be a start. There are very few risks to becoming a criminal police officer so it's clear it'll keep happening.
It happens more often than one might think. I know I've typed "guthib" at least a few times in the last decade or so that I've been using github, and coincidentally I just caught myself mistyping "decade" as "dedace". I pressed all the right keys, but in the wrong order.

I guess that packets from the brain sometimes suffer from a kind of race condition as they arrive at the fingers.

Maybe it's related to fact that we're surprisingly good at reading words with teh lettres shffuled aorund. Perhaps my brain is trying to type a word at a time, instead of individual letters, so the packets go out in parallel. Perhaps the last point has something to do with the fact that my native language is Korean, where a word is written as a compact two-dimensional arrangement of symbols rather than a simple sequence of symbols. I dunno, it just happens a lot.
This is the NYPost. A huge chunk of their articles sow division in some way.

A few 20 year olds who don't understand how to communicate with people older than them just need to spend a few weeks in the workforce and get educated. They aren't "cancelling" an emoji. This isn't a real story.
The capital class are the folks who will be able to hire bodyguards or pay subscriptions to private police forces if we do away with public police.

Because the alternative to public policing isn't no police; it's rich folk paying the interior-territorial arm of PMCs to march around their property with body armor and high-powered rifles, while the rest of the populace sorts things out themselves. We didn't always have public policing, and one can look at history to see what the prior alternatives were.
I've heard one of the major catalyst's of the Cuban missile crisis was the US putting nukes in Turkey first.
And how do you fix such a mess? Fork postgreSQL.
litefs and litestream are interesting, but they all continue to not support confirmation that a transaction is durably replicated OR that failover won’t cause data loss. until that point it just seems like a sequence of experiments.
You're going to keep hearing it as long as those back doors exist. You know what I'm a little tired of? Politicians using the same old "won't someone think of the children!" arguments every time they erode our privacy even further.
In my country (Brazil) if the company shows any care about people working on two jobs, it's enough evidence to determine they are employees.

(Famously, this made Uber grant some rights to their drivers here.)
True. I guess I'd rather not create drama for drawing implications from marketing material, haha.
i came to this thread to see if someone commented this. when the apple fbi whole thing was in the news, it was interesting hearing normal people saying that phrase. As someone in security, I knew that “backdooring” encryption was effectively giving everyone in the world a chance to read your message. Abuse of power can’t be kept in check without cryptographically sound encryption, authorization controls protecting your data is meaningless if it’s data you really care about.
Less obvious place would be Ninh Binh (my favorite place and experience from visiting Vietnam), not the first/second most famous place in Vietnam everyone knows (Hanoi/Saigon), or at least go for Danang, Hue, Hoi An, Nha Trang and all of these are on tourist trail anyway.
Thanks! Will do. I also went to Hanoi so I could explore the towns around the Chinese border. That didn't go so well. But was interesting.

Thanks again
David Fleming's Lean Logic, dictionary for the future
Doesn't seem that implausible given that we can read words just by reading the first letter and last letter, even if the letters in the middle are in the wrong order. We take words as lump-sum abstract objects instead of focusing on each of the letter.
Social media managers form an important work program for executive's fail-nephews, so I don't think what you are suggesting is realistic.
This type of complexity argument is also used in graphics rendering as far as I am aware. In graphics, it just has to look ok. Is there any concern for bounded error in MD?
I'm not from Brazil, but we have similar situation here with apple products where they're sold with extreme premium. The official first party lightning charging cable alone is $50. The store clerk literally told me to buy some 3rd party cables instead. And this is from a store chains authorized by apple (honoring warranty, official repair service, etc), not just some unauthorized reseller store.
I'll point out that although news about layoffs makes headlines, unemployment is still at historic lows, and the ratio of unemployed to open job positions is at 1.7 right now, even higher than it was before the pandemic. And all of this is true even after the Fed has raised interest rates faster than ever before in recent history.

We don't live in the past where you picked a company and built your relationships and career around it for most of your lifetime. That's what my grandfather did, but it's not how the economy works today. And I see this as a good thing; not only is the human race more productive by having more liquidity in the job market, but as an individual it frees you up – albeit sometimes more forcefully than you like – to shift around until you find the best place for you.

I enjoyed 4 out of the first 5 companies I worked for and thought I had things pretty great. But if I had stopped there, I wouldn't have arrived at the company I work at now (number 6) nor had the wisdom to know that I should commit to staying here for 3x longer than any previous company.
That's great, but you're still making assumptions. And that's the whole problem with diversity and anti-diversity both.
Why do you need IAM policies at all to run a service that works on localhost on AWS? I would expect that you need IAM policies if your app integrates with the AWS platform, which it definitely wasn't doing on localhost, or if you are running multiple services in the same account and want to lock them down (e.g. not have services access each other's S3 buckets and such).
All of this is fairly redundant from a "point of failure" perspective. It's fun to wax philisophical about the true capabilities of the police, but they have dozens of ways to get your personal information. If they can get their hands on your phone, many police offices own Greykeys that will smash it's way through Android and Apple security alike. Or maybe you escalate a certain "sensitive case" and ask for warrantless iCloud/Google Drive snooping permissions. Or maybe you intercept the nudes by MITMing their LTE signal. Or maybe you go to their ISP for a copy, the list is endless.

You're right that Accurint plays a fairly negligible role here, but only because the officer didn't even begin to tap the tools at their disposal. Whether that was a mistake, stupidity, or fear of retribution, the fact remains that there are many, many ways to get your personal data as a cop. Palantir/Accurint are very much the tip of this iceberg.
The FAA being archaic was absolutely not the cause of the MAX incidents. Boeing released a plane with a single point of failure that failed, and they also neglected to tell pilots and FAA about this single point of failure because pilots unions would have insisted on training in a simulator (which costs Boeing money) and the FAA may have insisted on a redesign or also simulator training.

Your comment is a complete mischaracterization of the MAX incidents beyond what even Boeing public relations was willing to do.
The second one. It's important to have a clear picture of biases and how your model could fail to generalize. In the case of social data from a deeply biased society, these issues can be seen a mile away.
Hey, Chris - I think one of the difficulties I had with your article(and with other writing like it), having lived outside the US and trying to travel like this occasionally then, is that we don't really get to live as the locals live. I spent most of my time in one specific corner of the world, and I see a difference of thought process in people who are tourists, people who travel, and people who live in another culture. I think you're in the second category, which is not bad, but I think that there is a real sense of particular place missing from your writing, while there is a distinct mindset missing from my place (the third category) that lead to both intrinsically lacking the full appreciation of the other. When we travel, we live like some facsimile of local life if we stay in an AirBnB and go to local places, but we still are relatively rich, white (?male?) people with the option to leave the place when we want to, and don't get a good, deep sense of the culture. It's hard to be a real regular somewhere, for example, when it's clear that you are a rich visitor who will be coming regularly for a while, spending a good amount of money, and then leaving. From your writing, for example, I felt like you misunderstood the compliment that Jamal, the Turkish restaurant owner, gave you when he complimented the economic status that has allowed you to gain weight. I lived somewhere in a decent amount of privilege while working for several years, and it was only after regular, constant, and questioning exposure to the culture that I began to understand it past the surface. I don't see how your wide travel to many different cultures lets you get a deep understanding of any specific one.

Put another way, (which can seem attacking, not my intent, I just can't think of a way to say this better in a short comment) the tourist has an experience an inch wide and an inch deep, the traveler has an experience a mile wide and a foot deep, and the person who goes to live in a third country for a term that includes the word years has an experience a foot wide and a mile deep. We just should all recognize what our experiences are.

Solid writing, rolling is the way for clothes, one backpack where at all possible(mine was larger than yours, but still so much easier to just carryon when going to visit somewhere), and I greatly enjoyed my visits to place I described as 'Wichita, $COUNTRY', just not as much as living somewhere for years.
I think that Swift is very clear about unpredictable ordering in sets:

> Swift provides three primary collection types, known as arrays, sets, and dictionaries, for storing collections of values. Arrays are ordered collections of values. Sets are unordered collections of unique values. Dictionaries are unordered collections of key-value associations.

further down the page:

> Swift’s Set type doesn’t have a defined ordering. To iterate over the values of a set in a specific order, use the sorted() method, which returns the set’s elements as an array sorted using the < operator.

There is even a small snippet of example code

Yes, but this assumes that the people involved are the everyday finance idiots who think that excel is the tool of choice for automation.
Possibly.

But companies want people to pay attention to their twitter accounts and take them seriously right?

Can't suddenly decide they don't want them to ...
But this is Ars. Typically considered above these sorts of things.
Claiming it's undesirable equally is.

There are plenty of good arguments in favor of workplace diversity, "forced diversity" or "AI enabled diversity" aren't part of them though
Bubkis. SQL Server's high availability is a dream to use and rock solid. Everything else is a joke in that space.

5.3 billion mobile phones will become waste in 2022
Well and open source/community. Was there anything even remotely similar to pip,npm, cargo back then?
It really depends on the degree to which your co-workers and clients lack a sense of humor.

For example, in the early 00's I was working for a company that built a lot of CMS sites. One of the test images my co-worker used was Yoda driving a go-kart. A customer got offended, so we were instructed to use really boring images that just had the word "test" on them.
Data formats for different types of numeric and linguistic data
This happens because cops have trained the media to do it. Cops have an informational advantage over journalists and use it.

A huge chunk, just by volume, of news comes from the local crime beat. That means journalists need to be on friendly terms with cops, because they usually have a near-monopoly on this information and can choose to give it to someone more pliant.

So that's why you get tortured headlines like 'Bystander killed by bullet in officer-involved shooting' - maybe the editor is a lawn-order authoritarian, maybe not, but they definitely don't want their sources to dry up.
city-data is quite great for travel related topics.
> Wealth creation is a shitty metric. Ideally, all economic activity serves some purpose that makes actual people's lives better

Shitty compared to what? Wealth does correlate with better life and is fairly easy to measure.

Do you a specific "actual people's lives better" metric in mind?
I mean, it works incredibly well if you're a boss and want to hire a bunch of clones... but if you're a bad boss... lol
Women aren't the arbiter of what is sfw or nsfw.

I'm curious why you jumped to "women" here, when they aren't relevant to the conversation. Do you think women need to be protected from unsafe imagery at work, or "nsfw" is designed to protect women?
I think you're right, had his conduct been better then his outcome would also likely have been much better. That said, I still think the amount is ludicrous and unjustifiable. Even if he had had actively encouraged his followers to burn down the homes and beat up the vehicles of every sandy hook parent the damages wouldn't have reached anywhere near a tenth of the amount he was fine. And as it happens, he didn't do that. He caused emotional damage, and had a tertiary effect of some of his followers acting on their own in a deranged way, but 1 billion just is insane.
Several of the parents had to move multiple times. Probably accepting less-favourable prices for their old home in the process, not to mention potential loss of career advancement opportunities when you're having to move house constantly.

Other parents were compelled to hire full time security[2], which can't be cheap.

Exactly! Seems very plausible.

Or maybe if you are young or in a middle age crisis.

Giving meaning to meaningless abstractions.
Don't forget, it's impacted weather forecasting too.
In fact, the fine would need to be way higher in order to perform any serious "educational" effect over Apple.

However, in Brazil this sort of fine has upper limits established by the consumers protection law -- the fine must be based on losses caused to customers; it can't be proportional to revenue or profits.
I'm normally in favour of lighthearted stuff (to a degree), but in this case I agree with you. It seems a bit too low effort to warrant the high number of upvotes...
Looking to mainstream general media on economic matters is usually going to land you with some skewed portrayals of reality, even in the event they're not resorting to outright lies or inaccurate statements, either because they assume their audience won't understand, because THEY don't understand, or both. I find that at least resorting to something like Bloomberg or Reuters will get a little bit more context around the numbers that isn't completely bizarro, but there is still a pretty high noise:signal ratio there, especially as half of what comes out on the air is someone's projection going forward (think of it as a fairground full of fortune tellers all showing you how shiny their crystal ball is).

I'd also point out that the figures are YoY (Year on Year) rather than monthly changes, but it seems that's been discussed ad nauseam here so elaboration shouldn't be necessary. The one thing I'll point out there is that this is normal across MOST rates unless otherwise stated (your 3 month CD isn't yielding 3% over the next 3 months, it's yielding an annualized rate of 3%, or roughly 0.75% on the principal over its lifetime. This avoids unnecessarily comparing apples to oranges, but can certainly mislead someone who isn't expecting this to be the way things are done.
Sure we can make a UO client and a UO server that emulates the original perfectly, but UO didn't exist in a vacuum. Unless it's 2001 and UO is the only (mostly) large scale MMO in the market it's simply impossible to recreate the experience. The variety of playstyles that were forced to coexist in MMO haven't been seen since and probably won't be seen again now that it's not the only game in town anymore.
Depends on what "4 hours per day" really means. If you want an interactive endpoint, putting in the work to set up an ECS task you can start and stop feels like the best approach. If you have longer-running inference tasks and just want to pick up results asynchronously, Batch (which is a layer on top of ECS) seems like the way to go.

SageMaker might have an abstraction which is a closer fit for your particular use-case, but I'd be wary of potential cost excesses; running on raw EC2 and automating the lifetime somehow is inevitably going to be the cheapest route.
