Poland is the 3rd most apple producing country in the world (behind US and China) [1]. It has probably the highest apple per capita count and I cannot even find basic varieties that Poland offers in this search engine - Ligol, Antonówka (Antonovka) [2][3].

If they're flying secret aircraft over the public it's a really, really high bar to think they can charge anyone with a crime in the US for taking a picture in 2022.

This is not the 1950s or something where 99% of the public didn't have a camera at all and someone would have had to make a big effort to go out of their way to photograph a secret aircraft... More like they are expecting to fly the craft over 1M+ cameras and think it's not going to be captured, which is astoundingly ridiculous.

Citizens have no right to privacy from being photographed in public in the US, the government should not have a double standard.
heh. I guess even if Bitcoin had been around for 3 years it could still technically be grammatically correct to use the plural ("0.3 decades"). But that would be tricky and only serve to exaggerate how long Bitcoin has existed.

> just because I can't read Japanese does not make Japanese unreadable

A nice comparison: Japanese is indeed harder to read than other non-symbolic languages. Symbols are harder to recognize because there are far more of them than letters in alphabets (latin, greek, cyrillic). For example, do you think it's easy to recognize the difference between 陳 and 陣? The more symbols you have, the harder they are to process, be it Japanese or APL.

The Redis/Intel Benchmarks Specification
One of my more memorable encounters in my taxi was with an older fellow who was moving cars to sell at auction (in Scottsdale, Arizona).

"How'd you find your way to the desert?" Phoenix was half-way between the labs in Los Angeles, the labs in New Mexico, and the testing sites in Nevada.

For a young single man, life on the secret bases in Nevada was pretty sweet. All the meals were the same price (steak, lobster, etc), ammunition was cheap, etc. The married guys didn't like it so much, but he was not married at the time.

Ooohhhh... Interesting. There are rumors on the internet about the federal government having extensive underground infrastructure in the western United States. This made sense to me: if you want to hide something, you put it underground. So I asked my passenger about this.

"Oh yeah, but there's way more stuff underground at Area 12 [0], than at Area 51."

I'm partial to the idea that nothing important happens at Area 51 anymore, just your average everyday testing of the latest thermodynamics-compliant military hardware. All the interesting R&D is now done somewhere else.

"...John Ray III, a veteran insolvency professional who oversaw the liquidation of Enron, said in a US court filing on Thursday that FTX was the worst case of corporate failure that he had seen in his more than 40-year career..."

“Never in my career have I seen such a complete failure of corporate controls and such a complete absence of trustworthy financial information as occurred here,” ... Ray said he had found at FTX international, FTX US and Bankman-Fried’s Alameda Research trading company “compromised systems integrity”, “faulty regulatory oversight” and a “concentration of control in the hands of a very small group of inexperienced, unsophisticated and potentially compromised individuals”.
Kickback? I wouldn't exactly call it that, since it's the venue's seats, and the artist's acts it's selling.

The problem is more that they own the venues, and aggressively punish anyone who works with their competitors.
US is so petty. They should have kept his stuff up and use it for their own intelligence. Now they don't know what the public knows about Area51 anymore. And what is being posted will be harder to track down..
Fair point, I missed the distinction between simple distractions and having to take care of an ever-growing chain reaction of necessary tasks to fulfil the original mission.
So you say that a person who publishes recording of a public figure taking a bribe is not a journalist because they did not process it -- the material itself was news-worthy already and so because they didn't have to do anything they can't label themselves a journalist?

I think if the material is news-worthy in its original form (like a recording of a public figure taking a bribe) you don't need to process it before publishing and certainly doing it is not a requirement.

This is enough for me to swear off python for any long-lived or production system. I am tired of this kind of endless incompatibility. It has fractured the ecosystem sufficiently that things break all the time when trying to use any non-trivial set of dependencies. Maybe the developers will stop this crap with Python 4. It’s the next Perl 6!

I am not sure how is that not clear.

Anyone who will look at the clickbait and reads twitter version of a summary will immediately assume that he was raided, because whatever he put in there was true/accurate and government decided to shut him down.

And just in case it is not clear, it will be twitter summary if the person is a consummate consumer of today's media. A minority will skim the article. Even fewer people will actually read the whole thing. Even less will review for key words tracing bias and evaluating it in any given way.

Unless you are not familiar with Area 51 symbolic meaning in US culture, I am not sure how else I can explain it.

> treaties [...] not based on trust

How are these treaties enforced? All international treaties are ultimately based on trust. There is no higher authority, only elective councils of and voluntary commitment to procedures (a.k.a. promises) by sovereign states.

Specifically not even these formal promises have been given by e.g. the United States of America which to this day has signed but never ratified either the VCLT[1] or the VCLTIO[2], so is figuratively giving a lukewarm "let's see about the convenience of that when it comes up".

Find a retro game conference in your area, it almost always has refurbished and working hardware for sale. You're going to pay a premium for something that it working and ready to go though so be ready for some sticker shock. CRT monitors in particular are climbing in value because the vast majority are getting old enough to require repairs like capacitor replacement.

If you just want to use old hardware IMHO mess with MAME/MESS and emulation or the mister FPGA. Keeping old hardware running, particularly from that analog era, can be challenging and expensive.

Tickemaster was terrible even before the Live Nation merger. The issue is that everyone is making money hand over fist at the expense of the consumer, while Ticketmaster is absorbing all the negative attention. Artists love selling out shows at a particular ticket price; it doesn't matter to them if the venue is full of true believers or if the true believers paid extra to be there so long as the "extra" is still within the price people are begrudgingly willing to pay. The venues love it because they get a portion of the ticket sales and the fees, and they don't need to manage the sale of tickets or employ folks to do so. No one in the chain is going to stick their neck out to kill the golden goose for the sake of the consumer. It's a mess.
We don't always have detailed evidence, so its useful to be able to make predictions with less evidence. When we have more evidence, we can verify the accuracy of our predictions in order to make better predictions in the future. Admitting "I was wrong this time" is the first step in being less wrong next time.
Recently someone posted Decker here on HN, a HyperCard-inspired environment. It includes its own programming language, Lil, which looks like it took some APL influences but made the core design more based on Lua. Meaning the language hopefully feels familiar enough avoid scaring people off.

I wonder if something that might be a way forward, similar to how lots of imperative languages now have language constructs that makes it easier to do functional programming in them: steal enough from the array languages to make other languages less bad. Or maybe that's what NumPy and Julia already are, which also would show the limitations of that approach. I dunno, I've read about array languages out of theoretical interest but never actually programmed in them.

From what I read, legal proceedings were started by Mick after Marty's post went up.

Bethesda's lawyers could have gone to town the minute Mick posted his statement. Instead, they are continuing to stall and resorting to shouting on the intertubes, which indicates they know facts are not on their side.
The thesis of the article is that EA started out with those stated goals but because of human nature and the effects of forming a larger public organization it is probably unlikely that they still do so or will continue to do so longer term. The incentives just kind of start shoving them in a very different direction. As you see with the FTX scandal/fraud.

Your response could be well that's not really EA then to which the article would say "Yeah but to keep it from happening you sort of have to limit EA to "local" low profile giving.

I would posit that the level of giving where you run out of opportunities in your personal network that you can effectively give to is quite high. Far higher than most people.

A final thought is that "of all the orphanages in developing countries, which ones do the best job of improving the lives of the children under their care?" is perhaps a bad question to be asking. It assumes that you can even rank such a thing which I would posit you can't. Beyond do they feed, clothe, and educate as a minimum bar there is far more to the improving the lives of children. The quantifiable stuff does little and is relatively easy to accomplish. The rest is unquantifiable and has dramatic impacts on long term outcomes. If you want to know how effective the orphanage is you can't look at the balance sheet. You have to go visit it and get to know the people running it. And frankly if I'm giving my money to an orphanage the unquantifiable but in many ways most important elements are not something I am going to trust an organization of people to get correctly assess. It's inevitable that the organization will eventually lose sight of the mission.

A lot of terrible eating apples are great for baking, Granny Smith for example.

Election integrity is more about the people running the election, not the method in which the votes are tallied.

That's both a strength and weakness of the system. The less people in the process, the easier it is for someone to manipulate the process.

I'm surprised Ambrosia scored so poorly. Ambrosia was a taste explosion and remains a fond memory even now years later. Perhaps it has a narrow optimal for eating period.

One caveat here is that it’s not clear if it’s “4 deaths downstream of the procurement of a OneWheel” or “4 deaths attributable to this particular failure mode”.

There might be some number of “died riding a OneWheel after getting hit by a car” deaths, but arguably that particular type of fatality should be chalked up as “downstream of the procurement of a car”.

> you can replace the 'N' sin/cos functions used in Fourier analysis with any set of 'N' orthogonal functions

But why? It rarely makes sense to use such arbitrary functions that don't satisfy further properties! Typically you'd also want your functions to be the eigenfunctions of a symmetric linear operator which is naturally associated to your problem. Most often, the Laplacian (second derivative operator) of your domain. Thus the natural linear PDE on your space (diffusion, potential, wave equations and their variations) can be readily solved in the Fourier domain. The sequence of eigenvalues provides a lot of geometrical information about the shape of the domain.
This has all been done before (P2P lending) with exactly the same outcome, in the very recent past (last ten years).

It's hard to have empathy for these people when they've been so obnoxious up until now to anyone trying to help them with learned experience.

Assuming you're not running an outright Ponzi scheme, then when you increase interest rates, you lower your borrower quality by the same amount, meaning your risk increases by at least the same ratio (or more).

By taking 8% interest or more, during a period of historically low interest rates, you were lending to the least reliable borrowers in existence - those borrowers that absolutely everyone lending money at lower rates said no to or, even worse, shady gamblers who can't legitimately draw finance from the traditional financial system without raising alarm bells.

There's no surprise in this outcome to anyone with even a basic understanding of maths and/or economics. It's sad, but utterly predictable.
Why would anybody wonder such a thing? I don't understand.
The fact that you ask why it needs to be inlined means you haven't understood how the feature works. If you did, you'd be a fan. It's a general mechansim that fits Zig perfectly, along with inline for and while.
If you read my link, you'd see the irony (which is why I included the link).

From the article I linked to: ' It should use an "evidence-based approach" to see if they pose a risk to US national security, Mr Biden said. '

The Administration was sloppy in this, and they undid something that they had to redo because they didn't follow their own advice when the put out the original order (which is here by the way: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases... ).

So yes, Irony is appropriate here. It's like a guy who puts down a banana peel and then slips on that same banana peel.
Not only that, I looked into republishing some books from the 80s, it is impossible to know who currently could possibly have legitimate rights to do so!

For any work out of print, one should be able to republish it and pay a nominal fee directly to the library of congress.
I think it’s not so straightforward what your competitive advantage is. Charging customers lower fees isn’t so simple because Ticketmaster splits the fees with the venue. So I guess you need to take an even smaller cut than 50%. But can you afford to run a profitable business off of smaller margins than that?

In a sense this situation came about because people want ticket prices to be ‘fair’. They don’t want to pay $500 for some concert even if that should be the market price. So it gets priced at $100 instead and Ticketmaster allows venues to recoup part of that with fees.
How is evaluation order even relevant for RVO?
This is when I get to say “I told you so”. Excerpt from my 9 month old comment [1]

A whole bunch of these startups have sprung up; which take up real money (USDT or even USD, INR etc.,) promising very attractive guaranteed returns without locking up customers' fund. Look at these[1] for examples. Anyone who knows anything about banking in the traditional world knows how ridiculous it is. And indeed some of these are beginning to unravel[2]. In Anchor's case there are way more lenders than borrowers so Anchor is resorting to pay those high yields from their reserves. It's cutting close to being a Ponzi scheme at the moment.
In a traditional banking world businesses take a loan either to cover for a short-term cashflow crunch (example an invoice that's delayed by their client) or for longer term investment. That money usually goes into economic activities which are expected (hoped?) to bear fruit to repay the loan.
In the crypto world however such loans are taken only to be put back into the crypto world; to be swapped into some hot new coin to be staked and what not. The music has got to stop at some point.

APL is pretty big on immutability and pure functions too. Arrays are immutable, period, and the link below has John Scholes talking about the advantages of declarative programming back in 2005. And, uh, yes, APL tells you where the error is when you get one. It's pretty obvious you've bounced off due to a surface-level dislike for the syntax and are guessing about any other features it may have.

https://www.dyalog.com/uploads/documents/Papers/declarative_...
The core language of J was an improvement on the APL back then, but modern APLs have since borrowed many features from J. Iverson's choice of ASCII was because he wanted to make it more accessible to schools that couldn't get the equipment necessary to display APL glyphs. Note that J was released the year before Unicode.
