I reckon you might be spitballing to an unnecessary degree about the phone. Cell phone possession is a federal crime, and if she gets ahold of an illegal one that isn't a factor of federal prison being a cakewalk, they proliferate in high security state prisons, either way it's going up someone's ass. She won't be giving zoom lectures on it though. I doubt it's something she will get involved with much, planning on use of one to make your decade easier is a good way to spend a a lot of the time in solitary confinement with privileges removed and maybe get time added.

That said, you are correct she probably will be going to a fairly cruisy minimum or low security prison. Due to the nature of federal crimes, with a heavy bimodal distribution of severity (i.e., financial/bank/tax fraud... or murdering a judge or during a bank robbery) you can end up in a very gnarly place or a 'Club Fed'. She will get to play volleyball and do watercolouring, maybe even swimming or roller skating, and there may not be a fence, but she's still getting locked in her cell in evenings, will have to do whatever job she's assigned to, will be around at least a few hardened exploitative types and wont be going anywhere for most of a decade at least.
I think the diagram on Page 5 is created within Typst itself, rather than being included from elsewhere — note that it’s a vector rather than raster image.
With Intel Boot Guard (now almost pre-enabled on all laptops on the market), the CPU verifies the digital signature of BIOS code. The public key is burned into the chip [0] by the OEM before it leaves the factory. If signature verification fails, the CPU refuses to execute any code. Naturally, any code modification in the BIOS causes the check to fail and effectively bricking the BIOS.

[0] Actually the PCH, aka southbridge, not the CPU. But it's not much of a difference for end users.

I’m a beginner at piano and it’s amazing to me that I can play an entire piece UNLESS I look at my fingers. The moment I do the entire thing goes straight off the rails.

I also cannot resume at any location but only at specific “keyframes.”
Yeah, that's what I mean by the medical system just not being set up to allow this. I generally see a different doctor every time I make an appointment, because I'm assigned to a team in a clinic with constant turnover, the appointments are 20 minutes long, and the doctor easily spends more time on boiler plate stuff in the computer system than examining and listening to me. I don't even think they have time to look over the basic medical history, let alone have a whiteboard session to consider all the pieces of the puzzle and brainstorm possible explanations.
That uses Web Components. Something like Polymer lite.

This uses templates. Something like React lite.
It is entirely irrelvant in any modern car as brakes are always stronger than your tire grip, unless you track the car and break over and over again often.

But theoretically not on hard braking as plainly engine have enough inertia that it wouldn't get to "engine braking" phase when you just slammed on brake. You'd be braking both car and engine.

On light braking, sure.

> the Earth weighs approximately six ronnagrams

This is from a Physics forum? Really?

No! The Earth does not have weight! It has mass. Weight is a force. It is a function of gravitational pull between two masses.

If you want to talk about force you have to use Newtown's Law of Universal Gravitation:

F = (G * m1 * m2) / r**2

You could speak in terms of gravitational pull between the earth and the moon or any other object in space, and that's about it.

I can't see how the concept of weight makes any sense when it comes to a planet. At all. Think of a hypothetical object in the middle of space with nothing whatsoever around it for millions of light years. No weight. Mass, of course.

You can't just use earth's 9.8 m/s*2 to convert from Kg to Newtons...that makes no sense at all in the frame of reference of any planet, even earth.

This isn't pedantic at all. Try to take a physic test anywhere and confuse these concepts, units of mass and force and see how well you do.
Ask HN: You want to build new Twitter. Your Architecture/Tech stack?
Hey Architects and Engineers! Lend me your ears!

Let's say you have your savings. And you want to build a new Twitter with pretty much the same feature set.

Where would you do that and how? What your tech stack would look like? Postgres, RabbitMQ, Kafka, Redis, OpenSearch, Cockroach DB etc and what piece would do what?

Where would you host it intially and eventually? AWS? GCP? Azure? Hetzner?

How much time to the MVP? Backend in Golang/Python or something else? Frontend React/Sevelte or what?

I'm looking for a complete comprehensive plan that is practical. Think of it as something you want to showcase as your pragmatic rational technical excellence.

With these words, I leave the stage to you.
Correct, although those conclusions will be no more useful than existing ones based on facial expressions or lawyers' theatrics. The legal process can be just as stressful for an innocent defendant as a guilty/liable one, arguably more so.
DCG, the parent of Grayscale got a $600m credit line in 2021, seems like they were deeply under water for quite some time.

It is very possible they dipped into the GBTC fund like FTX did with its user funds.
No problem! I am just seeing how it runs, I might throw up a referral link to Vast and put up a tutorial on how to host your own service, maybe that can offset the cost a bit? The current server is $700/month, maybe it could just run off donations who knows
I mean what she did was very wrong, but murderers get out in less time
Sure, so call your reader `file` or `network` or `stream`. Don't call it `r`. Nobody is charging you by the character.

It isn't a huge deal when the code is simple, e.g. you create a reader named `r` and in the next line you use it. That's easy to understand. The problem is that the pattern propagates. A few more lines of code are added, the reader is still named `r`. It's name `r` here, so we start putting it in a struct as `r`. Soon enough the codebase is littered with instances of `r`. Not great.
See Australia, yeah nah.
> Is anyone here really naïve enough to believe that this whole saga has been about “free speech”?

I am, although I disagree with the characterization "naive". Twenty years ago Musk's attitude was widely held, particularly in the tech industry. I see nothing incredible about the proposition that Musk believes this still. Also, the whole "if you have any point of agreement with people on the right, you are alt-right" thing seems silly to me. There are other positions between team red and team blue.
I was under impression that he did take it private and it is no longer publicly traded.

Also, how does this change “users cost money” issue? Does not private company need to pay bills? Unless you mean that he’s now free to bail company out using his income from elsewhere…
Also, the dark ages explanation is mistaken.
From time 0 to 370,000 years: there were a bunch of short lived photons, but the Universe wasn't transparent to light. After a while, recombination and decoupling ended and this source of light ceased to exist, making the Universe dark again.

Only after ~200 million years the first generation of stars appeared, which we cannot hope to see with a telescope. The first proto-galaxies (too faint) and galaxies took even longer, hence this billion years of darkness.
I'm sure many of those projects are out of date. Either way, they could probably make them all private for their purposes and stop accepting PRs (probably just turn them lose on the greater OSS community for those that still rely on them)
How to Write Essay
Yeah it's all ready to go using LibreTranslate, they have about 25 languages, maybe I'll finish that this weekend and put it up, it's really inexpensive to make the translations compared to making the original transcription so may as well. Coming soon!
What resources do you have for hosting this?

I setup a whisper-asr-api backend this week with gobs of CPU and RAM and an RTX 3090. I’d be interested in making the API endpoint available to you and working on the overall architecture to spread the load, improve scalability, etc.

Let me know!
Urbit going mainstream?

Back to the the point of the article: AFAIK urbit (groups at least) still rely on central server in the sense that each group is hosted by a single server. Won't this server have the legal responsabilities of whichever jurisdiction they are hosted in?

Ie. If I host a group on an urbit server hosted on AWS and certain ilegal content is hosted on my server won't I have the responsability to take it down?
Google Photos is that silent offering that wasn't a big deal initially, but just slowly grew into easily the best option to store your years of smartphone photo memories. I pay for it and will always pay.

Chromebooks were also the thing that started out slow, but now are pretty ubiquitous.

Weird… I tried it in Firefox, SumatraPDF and Acrobat Reader, and it worked in none of them for me. (In case you didn’t notice, it’s only specific pages which have the bug, namely those with raster images.)
It's already the legal standard in many places that a court doesn't just accept evidence like a photo or a video. Typically the photographer testifies under penalty of perjury that they were there and can be questioned about the circumstances in which they took the picture/video and any post-processing that might distort what we see.

So we can say that either it's real or we can identify the specific people who might be lying.
Hi Ewan, Fabienne. I have been following since a while (Ewan, we exchanged some emails at some points).

This API is great. Somehow I forgot to comment a week ago.

Some feedback.

It's clear it's an API/Github project, but it's not clear how to get an account. It feels like I arrived to Stripe's docs, but without a path to go to the Stripe page where I can get an account.

The fixed fee makes it feel less Stripe-ish, less like an infrastructure that just "works" (like tap water) and then the user needs to time the system, instead of simply use it without friction. (I'm guessing this if because you're starting).

More clarity, maybe a sample on the certificates.

A video, gifs, illustrations on the homepage would be great.

But this is great, and I know how difficult is to push something like this. I will continue to see you grow. Congrats on the launch.
The AAMC should increase the number of students they admit. The average medical school is turning away 95% of applicants. The top 10 schools in America are excepting <2.5%.
A 40x increase in battery production by 2035 seems like a pretty reasonable goal, tbh.
That's a silly accusation because like almost all young people I didn't think about my old age at all. Why think about something so unpleasant when it's long, long way off. I'm speaking of Americans as an American. I understand in other cultures it's something they think about, but America is a youth culture that doesn't teach long term thinking.

If my kids don't want to help me that's their right and I'd make other plans while asking God why I did to deserve such ungrateful kids.
Done, thanks! I'm at the top, feels good! I got zero traction on Reddit so glad to see Hacker News was there for me lol
Madoff was at one time being considered for a job at SEC, and regularly worked with them on issues unrelated to his business.[1] That probably postponed investigations that should have happened earlier. After the crash, it didn't help. Madoff went to jail and the SEC was investigated by Congress and its own inspector general.

“While examiners and investigators discovered suspicious information and evidence and caught Madoff in contradictions and inconsistencies, they either disregarded these concerns or relied inappropriately upon Madoff’s representations and documentation in dismissing them.” - SEC inspector general

A few SEC employees were disciplined internally, but none were fired.

I really don't think that is the point. This seem to be targeted at scaring legal departments to ease over the process of having corps fork over the money for something they might think could be obtained for free.
Nice thing with EVs is that with regenerative breaking you barely use the brakes at all. When I hade mine in for regular service interval the mechanic told me to do some hard brakes from time to time to keep rust off the brakes!

Complete scam. Her Stanford professor gave several interviews where the prof said she told Holmes her technology is not scientifically possible. All the execs at Theranos knew it didn’t work. That was why they secretly outsourced work to traditional laboratories.

Then there was the whistle blower Tyler Schultz. He got roughed up by Theranos lawyers at his own grandfathers house. His grandfather was George Schultz former US Sec of State and Theranos board member. The lawyers wanted him to admit he gave away “trade secrets”. The trade secret is Holmes and everyone at Theranos belong in prison.

Although I agree with you on a distaste for the foolishness of central planning, lLet me provide an alternative perspective.

A huge proportion of US physicians are already mediocre; a shocking number are bad. (Source: I am a physician.) Given this, I am concerned that further relaxation of standards in an effort to train more doctors won't lead to better outcomes.
I guess you mean in US.
ability to afford the ICU is not relevant at all when the docs decide to put someone there or not, based on my 14 years practicing in the US. Do you have any experience to the contrary? I’m pretty sure that would be illegal in the US
It’s literally there in figure 1. Wind and PV are now cheaper than oil, but still more expensive than coal and gas. I’m not sure what you’re getting at though, looking at the price of existing installations is not sufficient to account for future costs. What we do know is that wind and solar are new technologies and costs have been dropping rapidly with increase in production. Carbon fuels meanwhile have remained historically the same inflation adjusted price for the last century.
To be clear I am pointing out incentives to make a worse choice, rather than the better choice.
Should other countries ban facebook, instagram, twitter, youtube, google, etc?
There is no right wing media ecosystem. There is Fox, which I’ve literally never once in my life watched and have made fun of for two decades. Then there are a bunch of rinky-dink outlets no one even knows. There is however, a giant, ubiquitous, controlling ecosystem of liberal media and news and information outlets who we all used to rely on for being at least pretty much objective which I’ve grown insanely f-ing sick of and find beyond disgraceful (they’re all now far worse and more shameful than Fox ever was) since around 2016
Do they? It's hard to tell where these cuts are happening and how much thought is going into them.
Having a gun while being arrested with possession will get you that kind of sentence. Or at least, the authorities claim that to get a plea deal. Here's a firefighter who had a gun, was arrested for possession, and accepted a plea deal for 3 years in prison:

> "The only reason that he plead guilty is because the culture in office and it threatened Mr. Wilson with mandatory sentences that were more than 10 years," said Descano.

Kalief Browder was imprisoned for three years without trial on the accusation that he stole a backpack[2]. After three years, a judge told him he could plead guilty and walk free, or go to trial and risk being imprisoned for 15 years.

I get the feeling authorities lie a lot to get someone to plead guilty. It seems like over 90% of cases in the U.S. end in a plea deal. Everyone agrees that threatening to break someone's leg to force a confession is a gross violation of justice, but somehow it's fine to threaten to take away decades of their life to force them to confess.

> true but there would be a massive resource imbalance. A small team of paid professionals whose job was solely wikipedia edits would quickly overwhelm the efforts of well meaning amateurs.

Is this a real problem, in the USA at least? Trump spent literal billions to have armies of paid professionals make him look good and still lost the popular vote by millions.

> For example, a highly literate, politically mobilised population would out-edit a less literate, politically apathetic competitor.

Politically mobilized populations will trounce everything, the sky is the limit. Controlling Wikipedia is one of the least interesting thing they could do.

Wikipedia did not cause culture wars.
Problem is a lot of people just don’t understand this because they’re used to having a 1:1 relationship between the hours they work and the value they deliver.

Yup. Everything flipped. The left is the new religious right only on steroids.
> I would be very surprised if social expectations and limitations on the father would be strong enough to overwrite those benefits [social economic status]

That's not an argument! For what it's worth, in my experience, high social/economic status jobs don't expect fathers to take too much time taking care of their kids; doing so will cost them their status.

Children of unavailable fathers may be affected even if they have grandparents to look after them.

> The research suggests that grandparents could play an important role for every grandchild in single father or single-mother households.

The research you linked to doesn't make a big difference between single fathers or mothers. It also simply mentions grandparents' potential relevance in raising children with a single parent.
I see zero in common at every level, unless you wish to count the name "Chris".
I heavily suspect that "number of replies" is exactly the type of thing that creates an unpleasant atmosphere, unnecessary conflict and promotes ridiculously radical views and hot takes to the top. People like to argue, and the more objectionable a tweet is, the more they will argue.

Of course, this is great for user engagement, but it will also make the actual user experience pretty horrible.
Before modern bankruptcy laws, it was common for people who owe a lot of money to go to debtor's prison (and this still happens in some parts of the world with more archaic legal systems). At a glance it may seem contradictory since locking someone up would probably preclude any chance the debtor might have to make money towards the debt but the optics of getting punished for wrongdoing is clearly more important here.

I think it's the other way around. They had a problem which previously only impacted weekends, so it was written off entirely without consideration of whether this was happening by rule or by convention. They knew it would be a concern on any other day and yet did nothing until the day it was announced.

Idle curiosities can lead to their own waste, but the kernel panic was probably worth digging into earlier.
This might be what Elon is thinking, but some of his fans will be bitterly disappointed if he executes on it and no one sees their tweets any more because they are hateful. How can they own the libs if the libs don't see their attacks (likewise for the reverse direction)?
I've accepted they have to go, and haven't had a manual daily driver in about ten years now. So I don't feel the need to have a manual option when I inevitably switch to an EV. But I also have a few classic cars that I can take out whenever I've got the itch. I suspect I'll keep a manual 'toy' car around until I'm too old to drive it.

I was working on a suite of projects to compose briefing packages for pilots. Before pandemic the result of this work was present in ~1/7 cockpits around the planet. I cannot count how many millions of passengers impacted by this, in a positive way of thinking of course. I was not alone, these software products are joint efforts of many-many smart people. The funny thing about that impact is that there should not be impact on crew and passengers - everyone love safe flights performed on time.
Well, of course it wouldn't mention it. But you can take things into consideration when sentencing, even when they're not stated: they can still affect how you set the penalties and what you chose to include or not.
Serial killers should be locked up for life. Full-stop.
