I worked for a Slovenian company for 6 years. I am from a neighbouring country with a somewhat similar language, but never moved to Slovenia. I was an outsourced member, let's say. After about 3 years I realized I can write one hell of an email. Speaking? I couldn't buy a loaf of bread, I was a bonafide idiot when I went to visit them.
Lol, I could host all of substack as static html pages on a $20/mo linode instance. Embarrassing.
It looks like the title of the paper is misleading, because they chose two Catholic countries to study and Catholicism is broadly accepting of evolution. As such, this was a study specifically on Catholicism, and not religion in general.

This study would be far more informative in countries where common religious doctrine is more oppositional to evolution.
I wonder if the solution here is entirely different. Maybe instead of asking what-ifs per-se we ask, "well, why would someone not do it the proper way." The answer there is, whether justified or not, the current process is too much of a "hassle" (I don't see it as such but for someone dumping motor oil down storm drains for them it apparently is). We can't make them do the current process that is more of a "hassle." So how do we make a more "hassle-free" process? Maybe like garbage, one Wednesday a month, the recycling/garbage company picks up jugs of fluids? We have an existing process, so maybe we just rope one more thing into. The county/city already does garbage pickup and disposal, why not fluids?
Some HN poster made a good point about SPACs recently which is that the price discovery mechanism present in the IPO process turns out to be pretty important and it's likely one of the reasons so many SPACs immediately plummet in value when they get listed.
The day they get me for repairing my own car is the day they fine or jail me for distilling alcohol, burning wood in my fire pit, smoking grass, paying people under the table, jaywalking, playing music a few decibels too loud, and all the other illegal shit I do. Laws matter only so much as they are enforced. Under the current legal system, everything might as well be illegal, therefore you might as well do all the illegal things anyway.
I’m curious if anyone has read this bokk. This part of the summary sounds must interesting:

From the article:

>> it's believed that the code is intended to prevent small independent repair shops from popping up in someone's backyard

While other laws may cover each of the potential negative
secondary effects of a backyard auto shop on the neighbors, that doesn't mean the group of behavior leading to violation of those laws should remain undefined.

Again, to me this has nothing to do with keeping value on an investment. My experience with this was renting... I now own (one) house, and my problem with what the neighbors do has to do with how it affects my health and quality of life.

Claiming every possible negative effect is covered by law makes no sense. Leaking chemicals? Could take years to be discovered in the water table. Noise? Not really enforced anywhere... especially not if the activity in question is otherwise legal / doesn't require a license.

I don't think it was a shallow objection... and I believe you're reading it through a classist lens of "what if some rich investment owner next door told me what to do on my property" without considering the other side, e.g. someone renting next door to people who do noxious stuff.

[edit] also, I can see from your point of view as a homeowner myself who's surrounded by creeping investment properties and Airbnb's... and certainly if they were telling me how to paint my house they could f off too. But that's aesthetic and about their investment value. I guess what I'm saying when you get down to it is the aesthetics of auto repair aren't the part that bothers me, it's living next door to the noise and pollution.

just recommend reading CIA's "sabotage handbook" (google it up).

There is, among others, clearly written "work as slow as possible" and "always hold meetings with >5 participants"

meetings are inefficient and costs not only the nerves of the audience. I would suggest to your employer to focus on the important parts and just let the people gather, who are critical for that topic. This will accelerate the whole thing and no one needs to know everything.
If "everyone should know!" is said like that by your team-manager, then, the manager is clueless and don't wont to do his work but instead "sabotage" the whole project by his cluelessness.
So, it seems like there really is a stalker, but it has absolutely nothing to do with Musk, didn't have anything to do with tracking his plane and did not happen in the way that Musk described.

3 lies and one truth. Not a very good score. This is something Musk hasn't really clued in to: with every lie he tells people will be less inclined to believe anything he says in the future. All he wanted was a pretext and he seized the first opportunity in the most disgusting 'think of the children' way possible, whereas he could have simply said 'it's my prerogative to block whoever I want'. But that would not play so nice with his free speech stance (or pretend free speech stance) so he needed a pretext.

Pretty low.
Contrary to what Wikipedia says, I don't think agility is considered a desirable property by most cryptographers: you still have the "attacker stored encrypted material" problem, and now you have to worry about downgrade attacks.

Many of the most interesting/effective attacks on SSL/TLS have been downgrade attacks that stem directly from the protocol's (historically) agile design.
I have found that steel works up to ~650F but becomes too conductive above that (hence using stone). Stone is not conductive enough below 650F-700F
If we're talking about Christianity in particular, there's a divide between believing in the literal or figurative interpretations of the Bible.

The literal interpretation of the Bible is that the Earth is ~7000 years old and everything stated in the Bible is fact as written. The figurative interpretation isn't necessary inconsistent with things like evolution. The belief system simply switches to God triggering that process.

In other countries, at least in my experience, the figurative interpretation is more dominant, particularly in developed nations. Religion isn't a militant political force and there are no serious attempts to equate creationism (aka "intelligent design") as science or otherwise equivalent to evolution.

The US has a particularly problematic mix of factors that have become a problem for everyone:

1. The US has a problem with anti-intellectualism. I mean this came up in Kanye's recent meltdown. There was a clip from his interview tour that went something like "I don't see why I should have to understand or know anything". And that about sums it up. This isn't about being dumb or even ignorant. It's about being wilfully ignorant. This is a key driver for attacking public education;

2. The evangelicals are a particular militant and politically active sect that wish to dominate secular society. In many ways, they would like to hold the political power and position that the clerics of Iran hold in government. The history of this movement is interesting by itself. It evolved in the 19th century as the US expanded westward with homegrown preachers who really had no teaching or understanding of accepted Christian teachings, understanding and philosophy. Instead this was actively rejected. This led to other sects being formed, most notably the LDS Church (ie Mormons). These sects also have significant influence from American exceptionalism and white supremacy.

3. These sects teach a kind of theocracy where all authority is to be mistrusted and ignored except for the Church leaders.

All of this is the perfect storm for political manipulation.
Nah, no one believes that in Denmark or Germany either

It’s a nutty evangelical thing, not a mainstream Christian thing
Young Earth Creationism
LPD Chief Calls for Year-Long Jail Closure
IIRC from my evolutionary biology seminar back from 2012, I believe this is mostly true for most? Christian groups and they support evolution and teach religion along side it.

https://www.uua.org/worship/words/sermon/179417.shtml
https://www.umc.org/en/content/ask-the-umc-what-is-the-unite...

Like politics, it's the highly vocal christian groups that eschews evolution for creationism that make it an issue in the first place.

I am an atheist who went to a methodist university (but might as well be secular at this point) and I personally don't see conflicts between evolution and religion.
There are 2 editions of Minecraft. One, is the original one, now called Java edition. They definately still work on it, because despite not running well on Java > 8 for a long time, it now does. But afaik, they're still stuck on LWJGL 2.

The newer one written in C++ was first called "pocket edition" and targeted mobile. It's now called "Bedrock edition" and is also the version that has RTX support.

It'll be hard to move the modding community over to the Bedrock edition. I personally don't have any knowledge how limited modding is in the latter one.
This is btw equivalent to a graph with 5 nodes, where all nodes are connected to every other node, which would quite obviously be impossible to colour with just 4 colours.

I wouldn't use "believe" in the context. Catholic church does not specifically endorse evolution, but it finds no conflict between scientific concept of evolution and its teachings. I would call it "acceptance".

Many small Pentecostal and evangelical churches gain a lot of media attention thanks to their conservatism, fundamentalism and obscure views. Fortunately, they do not constitute the majority of Christians worldwide (at least not yet).
So many of those have tiny datasets - like 30 images that are seemingly of low quality. I love roboflow, but those are really hard to work with. I wish there was an open platform for generating the datasets that was cost effective.
Most people are not advanced searchers, so they expect fuzzy matches (give me what I mean vs what I ask for).

Exact searching can be expensive to add right and since most users don't really care, it's usually not worth it.
Not sure about international flights but I remember airport security in the 90s. You put your bag in an x-ray machine and walked through a metal detector. If it beeped they wanded you. It was like entering an important museum and was much quicker and less dehumanizing than the modern process. There wasn't this BS with liquids or removing your shoes and the people running the process had less power over you because they weren't wannabe cops working for the federal government. Most people back then weren't carrying electronics so rhey probably didn't get flagged the way you did.
Earlier they were saying they would allow girls to study(with some restrictions like segregated classrooms and male companions accompanying the girls in transit) What happened now? Probably nobody is giving them aid money anymore.
I took comparative religion studies at University. The first weeks of class, the Christian teacher (the other was a formal Buddhist) said clearly, you can easily divide modern Christian denominations between those that take the Bible as literal Truth, and those that do not; the latter generally being the literate ones.
The only skill you'll ever need is this: dazzle your audience w/ facts;else, baffle them w/ BS.
I think that's exactly right.

A lot of people will look and think at least somewhat subconsciously "If a neighborhood tolerates that sort of thing, what else do they tolerate" and just keep driving by.

And I say that as someone who let some stuff around my property get a bit out of control (but mostly out back) over COVID but I have a fairly large property and my neighbors have even larger ones and I'm well off the road.

But my messy country garden is just a messy country garden that pretty much no one but me needs to look at. Neighbors might reasonably think differently in a neat upscale suburban neighborhood.

I strongly lean to the live and let live side but there's a, to me, distressing amount of Screw my neighbors, I'll do whatever I want because it's all about Me on this thread.
Interesting, I also feel like I've been fighting this fight (in person, in debates that were a side project of our academic decathlon club) since I was a teenager, and learned some of the same lessons. Though I don't know that it's zero-sum: I don't think flat eartherism, evolution denial, anti-vaxxism or the like "made way" for Trumpism in the sense that they became less popular and Trumpism became more popular; it might be the other way around, that these tend to reinforce each other and have a large overlap. There seems to be an undercurrent in all of them that you can simply deny and disbelieve the facts you don't like and make them go away.
1. Good layer of flour or semolina under the pizza. Semolina being preferred as it doesn't burn that easily comparing to flour

2. Don't keep the pizza on the shovel for too long because the gluten relaxes and the dough becomes stretchy. Below minute is ideal

3. Before moving to the oven shake it well to ensure it doesn't stick and moves freely. If it doesn't, you still have chance to add some flour/semolina under it

4. Confident moves. Maybe watch some youtube vidoes showing the exact movement. Ideally it would be one energetic "shake" and done!

Your interpretation of SPACs is very lacking. The shortcut they provide is often to circumvent normal due diligence that would show probably fundamental problems with companies operations. Sure normal companies may go down after IPO - but that's after banks perform their own investigation, and most importantly line up large institutional buyers that will lock up the float and tend to keep price more stable.

Fail to compete and you'll be left behind in terms of compensation, performance review rankings, and career growth, the last of which also limits your future job choices. It also puts you nearer the top of the list for layoffs when corporate finances get tight.
Put a lot of flour on the peel (shovel). Like a lot of flour. Then shake the peel above your counter to get the pizza sliding before you transfer to oven.
Evolution is a theory and is not observable at all. It is all based on a huge assumption (we THINK that is how things happened).

The wide-spread acceptance of evolution in the west is because of lack of another explanation of how life must have come into existence when you cannot bring yourself to give any possibility to a supernatural creator. The same people who would fume when you mention a god will very happily accept an assumption when the word "science" is attached to it.

Just because we can observe mutations doesn't in any way prove evolution in a macro level that results in speciation. Yet it's treated as fact by so many without even knowing enough about it. An average person's acceptance of evolution is no different to a religious person's acceptance of a creator, no matter how much you'd like to think otherwise.
Intel Core I9 Becomes the First CPU to Achieve 9 GHz Frequency World Record
Yes, using a crypto algorithm also counts as rolling your own crypto. You're putting together crypto libs that others wrote. Most crypto vulnerabilities come from glueing together solid crypto implementations. The glueing has to be solid too. Just "using" a crypto algorithm sounds like a recipe for a vulnerability.

I'm not a crypto expert, I'm just telling you what I've been reading on HN for the past few years.
The line-cutting is annoying, but the whole thing is just an excuse for the collection of biometric data, which is a much larger issue. Clear's business model is pretty clear - they'll annoy a large portion of America into giving them their biometrics, and once they have that, expand across the country into some kind of semi-mandatory subscription to access businesses or public spaces. How else does Clear become a "daily habit" used "12 times a day", as the CEO says in the article?

This has huge potential to track people everywhere they go. It's also not hard to imagine Clear adding some kind of "risk score" that bans people from every Clear-enabled business, which has massive potential for abuse.
Having worked remotely for several years now, keeping one's attention during meetings is a constant challenge.

Going for walks, or doing chores like dishes and laundry definitely help. It makes sense that handicrafts like crochet, knitting, etc., also help. I'd be interested to hear in general how people cope with paying attention during meetings.
I believe it's "Young-Earth Creationist"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young_Earth_creationism
I went to Catholic schools and there I learned that evolution/big-bang were church doctrine, the Bible is not the literal word of God but divinely inspired, and that God probably wouldn’t hold it against a just non-believer when it came to determining their fate.

So I’m not sure when your friend went to this school or if they were in a weird sect (mine was Jesuit) but it does not match my experience
The Ericsson method has been around since the 70s and works pretty well. ~70% chance of getting the sex you want. It works because the Y chromosome is a lot smaller than the X so Y sperm can swim faster.

> At the same time Go provides enough stdlib to forget about dependencies completely

Go stdlib is decent, that's it. It does not even has basic data types such as sets (no, map keys are not a decent replacement for a set), queues or stacks.
I agree, scientific literacy is the problem. Too many people see Science as a replacement for religion and just say things like "trust the science" or act as if "science" is a noun that means things it doesn't. "We used science to prove our point" doesn't man a damn thing to me unless I've read the study.

The thing about the scientific method, is that it replaces faith, and people don't know what to do with that. Most people, even on the science side (myself included) just trust that "the science checks out" in the same way people just trust that "the Bible was written using divine influence outside the corruption of mortal man".

TL;dr- Teach critical thinking, which is the backbone of the scientific method, so above all else and hope for the best. Critical thinking is very hard, especially when you're not an expert on a matter, and that's the problem we can't ever solve: Nobody can be interested in everything enough to actually investigate it, even tough many of the things they're not investigating are extremely important to their lives.
Because software is more like the song on a record than a record player: I have songs that were bought on vinyl, transferred to cassette, then transferred again from vinyl to CD, then from CD onto my computer as digital files, then copied from device to device for the last 2 decades. The record player, in contrast, died years ago.

Software's even better! Since it was inherently digital to begin with, I'm able to make leaps like that with ZERO data loss! The only thing that kills software permanently is planned obsolesce. It doesn't matter what the lifetime of your saw is, that's like arguing that you should be free to shoot nonagenarians because most people don't live that long anyway. It's not about how long other stuff lasts, it's about the fact that it was perfectly capable of going on living until it was killed.

> I'm not sure making all comparable objects in Go usable as map keys is a good idea either.

Was a good idea since, it's part of the spec-definition of Go:

> A map is an unordered group of elements of one type, called the element type, indexed by a set of unique keys of another type, called the key type. [...] The comparison operators == and != must be fully defined for operands of the key type

TFA is merely reusing that.
If you want to avoid wordlist vulnerabilities, try this:

Choose a lyric from a favorite song. Concatenate the first letter of each word in the lyric. Example:

Becomes:

Add capitalization or numbers/special characters according to your own pref. For example, maybe your decide to alternate lower and upper case and always end with a bang:

Although you have to use the same capitalization rules for all passwords if you have any hope of remembering them.
Catholics teaching includes the existence of a unique soul in each human - this obviously cannot be a product of evolution.
Oh man I can look at this all day. What an interesting take on how we do city planning and how it really hasn't changed over the years. I'd be more interested in taking this a step further to look at the infrastructure overlay and how that has changed over the years.
I recently visited Vancouver, BC (Canada) and I was blown away by their urban development planning. They have tons of density, but the city doesn't look dystopian because they've mixed different styles of building well.

What this manifests in reality is a less car-dependent city that's extremely walkable (they also have amazing walking paths all over).

Overall, I just found the experience to be amazing in comparison to visiting every other city in North America. It actually felt like a "city" and not just a collection of office buildings surrounded by 2-3 story houses (looking at you SF!).

Are there any other exemplary examples of good urban development in other cities?
