I am not from US but I am pretty sure this is a common practice world-wide. Some places worse than others. But I used to work in Stock Exchange a few years back as System Administrator. And we were recommended to take permissions (which used to get approved quickly, within hours) to trade stocks. And all that info was available internally. Obviously, this was a "good to do" process rather than an absolute compulsion but even that small step stopped so many including me to not participate in Trading for my time there.

Small steps can ensure transparency and maybe, just maybe, help with the problem.

From my understanding, fingerprint analyses don't have widely-accepted specificity or sensitivity rates either. Those "73% match" figures are not derived from any sound principles.

That doesn't really work; there's little to link a defeat with any one specific issue in most cases, and the replacement isn't likely to get in for any one specific issue either.

If you lose more of your radiation shielding on a trip to Mars, you need more shielding to start with to get the same average radiation protection
Ubuntu was nice because, when it came out, Debian was several years out of date without having done a release. Ubuntu promised to do smaller, incremental releases and do LTS versions as well which is a promise they have kept. I remember trying Debian and having the choice of installing an old ass version of a program or setting up their leading edge version, which often caused problems with system stability. Ubuntu was a good balance - they had new software versions that worked.

Not only that but for a long time their default gnome configuration worked very well (back when they had the top and bottom panel thing). Debian very much threw you into it and said "Here's Gnome, have fun!" and you had to spend hours on a second computer learning how to install a browser and configure it (and go through multiple iterations of startx failing because your config was not right, because you were learning stuff).

I don't use either any more - most of my linux use is on Raspberry Pi OS, WSL, or in some container or something.
Breathalyzer tests are incredibly inaccurate and prone to false-positives.

Not saying they have no basis in evidence, but people drastically overestimate their accuracy.
No, that would be much less accurate to say. They're not saying the other 4% are caught at all.
Washington Officials to me means officials in the state of Washington.

It's compounded by the fact that most people who live in Washington, DC won't say they are "from Washington." It's exclusively a media phenomena.

Ask HN: Fly.io vs. AWS/GCP/cloud servers vs. host myself elixir phoenix app
I built a chat and notification system using Phoenix and I've never deployed this kind of app before.

Its for a side project, and I'm also trying to learn. At home I have a fiber connection (1.2gbps down/1.0 up) so I'm thinking that is plenty of bandwidth for my needs, and if my calculation is correct I could potentially support 100k+ connections on my home server (r9 5900x, 64gb ram).

I looked at fly.io and their pricing calculator is confusing (to me), so I'm wondering if someone can help me understand it by sharing their own experience using it, and how much they pay + the dx.

The other option is to spin up something on a cloud provider. I am familiar with AWS, and a little bit with GCP. I could also just get a bare metal linux box.

Or.. I could self-host at home where I have a reliable fiber connection.

What should I do in this case?

I only have experience deploying node and go apps, which seem a lot easier to think about compared to this elixir stuff.
This just reads like a "Damn kids, get off my lawn!" type comment to my admittedly young mind. Same with a lot of similar comments I see floating around HN, especially ones that have anything to do with web development.

Can't read the article (paywall)... is it discussing senior bureaucrats or legislators?

If Congress, the STOCK act really needs update to have some teeth. Right now, they usually get a $200 fine (which is often waive) for what is effectively insider trading. Make that fine 6 figures and maybe that'll help.

If bureaucrats, I'm not sure why existing insider trading laws wouldn't apply? It seems we just need the DoJ/SEC to do their job.

Of all the forums, websites, social media, etc I've used, never have I experienced worse moderation than reddit. I've never been banned, but I've had comments removed for some of the most arbitrary reasons, and the average moderator seems to almost despise their own userbase, with the exception of their fellow mods.

To cite a particularly egregious example, I once saw a person banned for "giving medical advice" on /r/adhd, while not one, but multiple other moderators had also given medical advice in the exact same thread. A thread that was explicitly asking for medical advice.

I am not denying that. But the way, current government is working, good luck with current situation improving anymore. And BJP or Congress or any other party politicians, especially in India, like to enjoy absolute control over citizens. So by some miracle if other party got in power in future then also they will not work to correct wrong done by current government.

DALL-E API won’t be announced until later this fall, according to OpenAI
Making the package generally isn't very difficult in comparison to flatpak, appimage, rpm. The problem is the old dusty path to getting a mentor/sponsor for your little insignificant utility to get introduced into the repos. Every doc/page you see will have swaths of (sometimes old) information that outlines endless procedure and arcane incantations required to find someone who may be online and not idle, who might just vouch for you... or they might endlessly critique your code and license.

This whole process worked great back in the day, but now the kids will just go somewhere else or release outside of repositories.

I know Ubuntu loves the smell of their own codes, but part of me thinks PPA was Canonical's way to address how difficult and crusty the process to get software into Debian is. To this day if you can get in Debian repos, Ubuntu will include you in theirs 'for free'.

I feel so bad saying this.. Debian was supposed to be The One, imo. I've been at this linux thing since the mid 90s, I could not have predicted the current state of things decades ago. It truly disappoints me that things have gone this wrong with modern Linux, but I can't say it had a chance to play out any other way. You see the same with cryptocurrency (gasp!) where in order to achieve legitimacy in the eyes of the opposition a novel industry sought to emulate the legacy systems enough to be familiar and charm the opposing users, but ended up gaining users sold on that dream who lo and behold demanded an effigy to their old systems. We brought this on ourselves.

Now we have Ubuntu aiming to be the new Microsoft at an org level, aesthetically emulating MacOS at a UI level, and meanwhile pretending to be a crossplatform user experience perfect for phone and desktop. I call bullshit. Ubuntu took the dark path after 10.04 and 10.10 when Ubuntu Netbook Remix first reared its ugly head. Someone misunderstood the instructions, fed it after midnight, and now it's achieved its final form- Unity.

This is 100% our fault, my generations fault. We didn't keep with the times and I don't see that changing fast enough.
Yea, I remember in some intro engineering course at brown they went over a study that over time, mandating more/new lighting eventually had a null or opposite effect - because drivers get used to them. Meanwhile energy, light pollution, and driver fatigue goes up. They don't seem to address this at all.

This is not true. There is a fine for not disclosing. For actual insider trading, the FBI has subpoenaed sitting Senators' phones [1].

You seem to be doing that a lot in these threads; ignoring parts of what other people say so you have something to argue about. Please stop doing that.

My guess is "salaries and wages paid" constitutes the largest wealth transfer every year.

As someone with ADHD that was professionally diagnosed on multiple occasions, I would say to keep this up if you can.

If you can find something that works, then keep at it. I chose the medication route many years ago, and it's been rather... bittersweet to say the least. But that is just my experience, and I believe I am somewhat of an outlier -- at least with the information I currently have.
Before I started working at Google, I was working for an agency that was contracted by Google to use their new ad SDK's to come up with some fun, interactive ads.

I spent ages with various crappy Android emulators and phones making the best demos I could, I learnt heaps about optimising the Android webview and animation, and rendering and versioning differences, it took me weeks of hard work, but I finally made some killer demos.

We took them to present at Google at the office in the heart of London, the head of the EU ad division was there, everyone was excited about seeing what their new Android Ad SDK could do.

I told them I had live demos, to pull our your phones and go to this URL and you can try it!

Not one of them had an Android phone, every single one had an iPhone. There was 10 seconds of awkward silence that felt like 100 years, and then I burst out laughing when I realised none of them had an Android phone. They didn't see the funny side as much as I did
This is missing the point, which is "The account did not violate Twitter rules in any way."

If Gruber's accounts are not spam, then Thompson's account is not spam either. The age of the account and other statistics are irrelevant, because the same rules ought to apply to everyone.

I think it ought to be uncontroversial that an account shouldn't be suspended if it hasn't violated the rules, but somehow many people in this thread are defending the punishment of the innocent.

There's actually no rule against bots on Twitter. In fact there are some accounts now explicitly labeled "Automated". The goal ought to be not "detecting bots" but rather "detecting rule violations".

I too keep making the mistake of using the openbsd man pages for linux projects. Then am confused when things don't work as they should.

You would think I would learn better after a few cycles of this, but nope, I am rather stupid that way... or perhaps the openbsd documentation is just that much better.
Other possible choices are 1708 (last example of the monarch refusing royal consent to an act of parliament, Queen Anne on the Scottish Militia Bill), or 1834 (last example of the monarch dismissing their government, William IV sacking the Whigs; he had to have them back in 1835 as the Tories he installed couldn't command a majority of the Commons).

Or you can point to things like the Kerr Sacking (in Australia, but using (vice-)regal power) and say it's not quite done yet, though in decline for centuries...
For example, if you look at lists of "largest cities in the US" [1] you'll find Columbus in the top 15 or so. But if you actually visit, it's no larger than Indianapolis, Cleveland, Cincinnati, or other similarly sized metro areas.

This occurs because the city occupies ~225 square miles [1] and so when you look at density it turns out Columbus isn't much of a big city at all.

If you look at this link from Wikipedia, Columbus is even larger than San Francisco or Boston! Wow so big. But the relevant metric is density, not square milage.

I could have been more clear here but I just wanted other readers to note that you can't just look at square milage or even population, you have to look at those together to get density to help derive insight.

I can't answer for the person you're commenting to, but I use sqlite in a similar way and the loss of information isn't an issue. When you're exploring data, just trying to make sense of what someone has sent you (say, migrating data from an existing system to a new system) you probably have a pretty good idea if the column is supposed to have integers or strings in it. In my own use of it, it's very unlikely that the loss of information will cause a problem. Eventually the data will be type-checked -- not in sqlite (I haven't experimented with the new-ish "strict tables" feature yet), but in my case the data will eventually flow through a typed programming language.

Anyway, different ways to use the tool, for sure! And in some cases one would definitely need to be attuned to the issue you're raising. In the kind of situation I'm thinking of the data is usually so dirty anyway, a bit of string->integer conversion won't hurt (probably).
Thank you so much for this!

When you hire a contractor to redo your kitchen, do you ask how long it may take?

When you order food online, do you expect to know when it will arrive?

When you go to your mechanic for a repair, do you want to know when you may get your car back?

When you go to a lawyer to verify a contract, do you need to know when they will be done?

I have never understood why what happened to Detroit has not been a national story. The city has gone from a primarily homeowner city to a renter one in a 14 year time span. A handful of well-connected insiders have gotten rich.

Nothing illustrates it better than the https://www.goobingdetroit.com/ blog. Between 2009-2015 one in three Detroit homes was foreclosed. It's an example of a government that is not working for it's citizens benefit but actively working against them.
I've seen a lot of students serious about video editing switching from (typically pirated) Premiere Pro to Resolve as the free version got better and better. One student told me his high school filmmaking class was switching from FCP to Resolve so that everyone could easily work on their projects at home. It's pretty much the only freeware professional editing suite available - and if some of those students later work in the industry they'll prefer the system they're familar with.

When I used Resolve several years ago the system requirements were high but you could mitigate that by using a proxy workflow.
You say you "live in Washington" without DC suffixed? If so, this is a new trend from transplants - lived there for 20 years and pretty much never heard that from anyone local.

They have an accuracy rate that is pretty good. Sure they have false-positives (eat a gas station pizza, ping positive) but far more likely are false-negatives due to bad air sampling. Folks go to all sorts of extremes to fake them in the car-installed devices e.g. have somebody else blow; blow through a long tube so the sample is just what's in the tube; hold it out the window and let the wind 'blow' into it; put two straws into a half-full drink cup, blow into one and connect the device to the other, and on and on.

The devices have all sorts of countermeasures now including a dash-cam, temperature sensors, humidity sensors etc to try and ensure its actually the right human's breath.
Mexico is still cutting emissions year over year, as I mentioned in another comment Mexico, Canada, and the US are all making CO2 cuts. So even if that particular emissions is moved around all of NAFTA is making emissions progress.
> Governments around the world mandated that (mostly) small businesses have to close

This was really insidious. Small shops selling [widget] were forced to close because the shop was non-essential. But walmart selling [the exact same widget] was allowed to keep doing business because they also sold groceries and were therefore essential.

Could they have forced Walmart to cordon off the non-essential aisles while keeping grocery section open? Could they have taxed walmart more to support the small businesses which were being strangled? Maybe they could have, but of course they didn't.
IANAL but I gather from friends who work in compliance, that reimplementation more or less effectively shields you from "copyright" claims on code.

As a result it sure seems like Copilot or similar applications of DL/ML is a red herring a general criticism. If someone is upset their elegant solution to a specific problem is being replicated, that's not about DL/ML; and there are unlimited opportunities for reverse engineering or reimplementing or transforming or rewriting or whatever you like, which affect the same algorithm etc.

If you want a software patent, take up the fight in that domain. If you don't want people reusing your logic, don't put it in public view or for that matter anywhere an interested and motivated party might disassemble or deobfuscate it.

A lot more people used to speak about this, from all regions of the political grid. It almost seems as if a primary outcome of the Obama administration was to coopt the left into supporting the bureaucratic establishment at all costs, especially if any critique of it could be characterized as populist and icky.
I don't understand what we're supposed to be seeing here. If you do a google image search for "10 week fetus", you see something that looks quite different. Perhaps in these photos from the article the fetus was destroyed as part of the abortion. Similarly if I cut you into tiny pieces and put the pieces in a pile it wouldn't look much like you.
I’m not gonna say that no Democrats do this (because it would be clearly untrue, see Nancy Pelosi). But I do think it’s pretty notable that this year a Democrat Senator proposed a bill to rein this in, and got 15 co-sponsors, all of whom were Democrats.

As far as I can tell, the bill doesn’t seem to have any culture war or partisan poison pills, so it seems pretty odd that a big chunk of the Democrats are co-sponsors (many more may still vote for it if it comes to a vote) and zero Republicans are.

I think if you read this article you'll see (at least part of) the answer. Not only does a given action have to cause a definable result, the medium upon which the result is deposited has to provide enough detail to read the result back off it, and the people reading the result have to be able to be consistent and accurate in their analysis of that result.

With bite marks, the skin has to hold the bite mark (which it doesn't) and experts have to be able to map it back to real human teeth (which they can't). With blood spatter, there are analogous problems.

I would look at starting a Wyoming LLC, which is cheaper than a Delaware LLC with a lot of the benefits, just lacking some of the clout.

You can spin up a new entity quite quickly at https://wyobiz.wyo.gov/Business/RegistrationInstr.aspx. The LLC will be a passthrough entity by default, absolving you of US tax, and making any income earned taxable in your current jurisdiction (ZA). Wyoming state tax is 0 if you have no assets in the state (you will not).

You'll need someone with a social security number to help you set up an EIN with the IRS (basically the US version of a tax ID. You can do this yourself if you have a social security number here: https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employe..., but given you're international you'll need to use a service like this: https://www.northwestregisteredagent.com/start-a-business/ei... (not an endorsement).

Then you'll want to set up a bank account with a service like Mercury (https://mercury.com), and a merchant account with a processor like Stripe or Braintree.
