> On November 24, 2022, a fatal residential apartment building fire broke out in Urumqi, China, killing several residents who had been locked into their apartments from outside as part of China’s zero-COVID effort.

Meanwhile in the states, we're more or less returning back to "normal" or perhaps pretending that COVID no longer exists. It's been 2+ years since the beginning of the pandemic, is zero-COVID goal even possible at this point...

As someone trying to figure out how to do this with mine, thanks for saving me the headache of finding one.
Runtime or real-time encoding is my guess.
Yes, 18 U.S. C. § 1113. The special circumstances can be as simple as breaking another Federal law while committing manslaughter. Of course the Feds would much rather stick to prosecuting crimes that don’t overlap state laws.
In regards to ped/car conflict, it would be nice to at least have red, yellow, green instead of red, flashing red, green. I often get irate cars gesturing as if I were crossing on a red when actually they glanced at the flashing red. That just means don't start walking, it is the yellow of ped lights and it lasts a while.

The flashing red usually starts pretty soon after the green, you usually can't cross entirely on a green. It doesn't mean the person was slow or jumped the light.

Some other nitpicks:
As a car, you have to wait until everyone is finished crossing. You can't just sneak through the middle, or cut just behind someone.

Unrelated to lights but tangential, you have to give way to all existing traffic when entering a road. That means if you take a turn, and someone is crossing the road ahead of you, you have to wait. They couldn't know you were about to barell around the corner, and they are under no obligation to hurry out of your way. No stress, you will be gone in seconds.

This is called the Oracle Problem.

It can work outside of the digital realm.

https://blockpit.io/en/blog/how-to-solve-the-oracle-problem/

> A decentralized oracle uses a decentralized network of nodes to obtain real-life data from off-chain sources of information and transfer it to smart contracts on-chain. These decentralized oracles are like public libraries with multiple sources of information. Using many sources of information helps to minimize counterparty risk. More importantly, decentralized oracles aim to reduce concerns about reliability and trust because oracles that provide false data will be penalized for data manipulation.
that was great to read
Someone at Microsoft must have considered "Windows Can Now Run Android/Linux/Mac". Wonder why they didn't take that or another route.
It would be a lot of work to seize the domain and add his own text. I'm not even sure if the Gridfinity trademark situation would allow for that.

It's in heliocentric orbit, it's getting cooked by solar radiation every day, taking the full brunt of solar flares without a magnetosphere to protect it, etc. If there were a body in the suit, it would surely turn into beef jerky. Or perhaps soup, if the suit can keep the fluids in. All the DNA would be shattered beyond repair by intense gamma radiation.

What people in the thread said is that they’re more comfortable saying or hearing things phrased a certain way, so that’s why they use that phrasing. Sure you can use language as a means of virtue signalling though.

For me though, I simply see being offbeat phrasing as being stigmatizing in practice, it ends up drawing more attention to whatever was being described.
And how does it compare to the highly readable V and W in the Volkswagen logo?

Can you read the Nike swoosh? What's that dumb thing supposed to be, a check mark?

I know the article is having a little fun but it's really misunderstanding the role of a logo.

The new logo is less readable as text, but it's a more recognizable shape from further away. It's also a more unique mark for a vehicle. You're not going to mistake it for some other vehicle's logo.

The old Kia logo was, frankly, not great.

(Also, hey author, the E in the Biden logo is a reference to the American flag)

Even better, human species live indefinitely through human cells making new human fetal cells. At it's essence, it's still a chemical transformation process. Some compounds are being converted, old human to new human, which keeps life going indefinitely.
I disagree, Microsoft exploits people (not just users) in a different way than Google.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Microsoft

They strong arm with laptop manufacturers to nearly force users to pay for a Windows license for all device (non-Windows laptops exist, but let’s be honest, it’s insignificant).

They get into beds with gov to get license deals (with taxpayers’ money).

Not to mention the rampant telemetry on Windows that can’t ever be fully turn off.

And a paid-for Windows 10/11 has Tik Tok and Candy Crush ads?

Google and Microsoft are bad, no need to pick just one.

This comment is spot on.

TLDR: if making most end-users happy isnt your top priority then you won't be getting most people as end-users.
Not necessarily — it could just as easily have been a founder population event, combined with “weird” sexual selection.
I strongly suggest you don't take what you read in the media as an accurate representation of the US. It's sensationalized.
A few suggestions on the heavier side since I had an interesting year.

Why do people ghost, lovebomb or keep long term relationships. There are a few reddit groups that are incomprehensible if you have not read this, afterwards you see things differently. Not a happy book regardless of the title. Thais Gibson therapist on youtube that also suffered personally has good content.

The body keeps the score: Read this second, it describes the physical effects of various mental health related events. People swear by this again and again.

Complex PTSD, from surviving to thriving: If you need to read this you are at the point that you have figured out that something has gone very wrong with you or someone close tou you. Thr chapter on cptsd emergency is very chacteristic. Also read the respective reddit threads.

The topics above are very to the point and the situations they describe affect in a subtle way a lot of people. The first also assist in understanding parent children relationships.
good memories :-) I started programing with google apps script.

I think it's a great starting point for students because it's totally free, abstracts over the coplications of oauth (for small things I still prefer it because it's so effortless) and you can combine google apps in fun ways. Considering many students live out of gmail + google docs, it's great

And having a GUI version of the app makes interacting with other students easy bc they can always edit the google sheet (aka database), forms, gmail, etc
If some are better then they are all better and dwarf human content

Then when they bring capital too, why have humans at all? What would the humans add to a typical discussion?
It’s not. The premeditated part gets you “voluntary” but the activity they chose to engage in carries only a very minor risk of death. They haven’t set out to kill somebody.
One potential limitation of cryogenics is that the radio isotopes in your own body will eventually cause too much damage to your DNA since natural repair processes will be offline as well. Obviously the radiation environment in space is much worse.

Can you paraphrase this? Having trouble understanding what you mean and I want to know.
Python reigns on library support, and it is usually faster than implementing your own procedures, but I found out that when you are trying to solve a complex problem where you are both learning it and solving it simultaneously, having a repl like the one in common lisp really helps you get into the zone and deeply understand your software.
Sometimes it makes sense to pays the price to implement a library just for this.
It's kinda blowing my mind how little HN posters understand Twitter's value and position.
If you haven't already, and without too many spoilers further than some (non-comedic) resonance with your comment, Charles Sheffield's Tomorrow and Tomorrow is a worthy read.
Microsoft does tons on tracking by default, like tracking all the apps you open and pushing you to use a Microsoft account. I was surprised at how difficult it actually is now to the point where you have to enter a bogus username multiple times before being given the option to create a local account. Also, they integrate location tracking into whatever devices they can. You can see this is your Microsoft account as well. It is bizarre you think that they are somehow better. Microsoft's dark patterns are worse and the company historically has made far worse decisions than Google. I don't see Microsoft releasing an open source version of their operating system that projects like GrapheneOS and others can use. Microsoft constantly shits on their own developers and people that develop for Microsoft quickly learn that if they aren't paying you well for your time then open source is much better because at least that way you've learned a useful skill that doesn't have a lot of vendor lock-in.

Microsoft even to this day despite claiming they love Linux makes decisions and pays companies to specifically make it more difficult for things to run on Linux. Fortunately, now that Valve has been committing resources to Linux gaming things have been going pretty well with Linux desktop. It might not be for users that have to make any choices or understand anything but point and click, but it is amazing for people that can spend a little extra time learning and I think if people learn Linux skills early on it is far more valuable and less head bashing because there are great communities behind most open source projects unlike Microsoft who ignores their feedback.
I have thought a lot about this over the years, and I think one of the issues is that it is hard to specify fixed data formats in most programming languages (in a declarative way), leading to lots of code that decodes byte-by-byte or word-by-word. Since writing all that sucks, many programmers have turned to higher-level data formats such as JSON or protobufs that are decoded by libraries.

I have been working on a new feature in Virgil to make writing explicit byte-by-byte layouts easier and directly supported by the compiler. It's still a work in progress though.
I actually wish the unit system was split off into a separate library. I use it occasionally in my data science work, but it feels kind of silly because I don't use pretty much anything else in the library.
I am quite sure this has not much to do with Android, given that this, including the naming scheme, traces back to 1999 with "Windows Services for UNIX".

Funnily enough it lacks "subsystem" but its ancestor was in 1993 "Microsoft POSIX subsystem".

Funny how you say that, yet a commenter above says your body can only close gaps, in dry environments
It really all started with the initial design of NT and then there was just a lull in the 2000s. Early NT had a Win32 subsystem, an OS/2 subsystem, and a POSIX subsystem (well and a security subsystem but that's there for different reasons). When they started WSL (now WSL 1) it used this original subsystem architecture from the 90s just now targeting modern Linux.

Then they found it didn't work as well as people wanted in terms of filesystem performance, low level networking, and PCIe device access so they switched to the more modern integrated hardware virtual machine model which is what WSL2 and WSA use.

Originally Microsoft wanted WSA like functionality (then called Astoria) for Windows 10 mobile but then they found the bridge toolkits to be the easier/better approach and cancelled it until bringing it back for desktop all these years later.

Bitcoin and blockchain are not synonymous. Bitcoin is one of the few major blockchain projects still using proof of work, and one of the others, Monero, actually has a good reason to still be doing that (though I still don't like it), and also has a much smaller energy footprint.

If you look about it a certain way. At the species level, we've already reached biological immortality.

The trick is to have some cells starting the process over. Sexual reproduction always started from pre-existing cells, rebuilding a full individual.

Using this process to repair all the living cells does not seem impossible.

Our understanding of DNA programming is far from sufficient to enable this kind of project, but I don't see why it could not be possible at some point.

Looks like that's one thing that's happening. From the Teen Vogue article linked by one of the top-level posts:

> a group representing over 1,500 parents of New School students is threatening a class action against the university for a refund of fall semester tuition.

Fox describes slightly different demands in the student's letter, which may be distinct from the lawsuit:

> The letter also states that occupying students demand a refund "for the loss of instructional time due to the strike" and that "this tuition refund will be proportional to the duration of the semester during which the strike is in effect."

The gist is similar though.

I'm inordinately irritated that this quiz is impossible to ace. I got every question right but for #6, which has an answer format that makes it impossible to answer correctly. "Sorry, trick question," it says when you put in "0 hours" as the best approximation of the correct "you can't park here at all" answer. Like, I knew that … you just … made it impossible to answer correctly? What?

This is a silly thing to be upset about, but just … why would they have done that? It's so stupid.
There is approximately a zero percent chance the 911 operator neglected to ask if anybody was in the burning house. They didn't save the house but they did show up anyway to contain the fire.

The claim of callous disregard for human life you're making about American firefighters is completely unsupported by evidence. The closest example you have is case where nobody was harmed. But we've already established that you don't let facts interfere with your narratives.
Cryonic preservation might or might not be possible, this is clearly a difficult process but we're never going to find out without trying.

To follow-up: I heated a skillet until water sizzled when dripped on it, then added long grain basmati rice and kept it at medium high heat for 2m30s. The grains moved, crackled, and browned.

Since they didn't pop or puff the result doesn't provide much food volume and it's about as crunchy as crushed pecans. Given its neutral flavor, which is unsurprisingly like Rice Krispy cereal, it would function well as a topping but definitely not like the main carb portion of a meal. Probably won't make it again.
Yes, and risk-taking/courage with enterpreneurship is something worthy of being celebrated.

Plus it's not like Musk had all the money to throw into SpaceX at that point. And he came in not as some sort of angel investor, but as a doer who participated in the actual engineering aspect of things too.

Most 'savvy' businessmen would not have acted as he did, given the risks. So as a businessman, Elon's risk-taking and participation deserves the rewards that ensued to him.

These two are very niche and primarily oriented towards record producers and audio engineers, but what sets them apart are the depth and holistic approach to the craft.

#1 Live With Matt Rad - A weekly interview series where producer Matt Radosevich has an hour long interview with world class audio engineers, mixers and producers.

It ranges from extremely technical and deep to discussions of soft skills as a working audio professional. In both cases the discussions really fill in gaps in understanding that are rarely touched-on in the world of audio production media. It’s worth it’s weight in gold.

Link: www.livewithmattrad.com

#2 - Conversations - Generically titled, but like the first podcast it fills in many many cracks in the learning process for audio professionals.

The format is a roundtable discussion between four high-level audio professionals. It’s not technical in the slightest, although each host’s pedigree is remarkable. The focus is on conceptual approaches to art, business, self-realization, experience, and soft skills, among many topics.

I consider it to be a companion to the first podcast. Together the two podcasts contribute an immense amount of value to the audio/music space that is barely being addressed anywhere else. They really fill in the cracks and make for a well-rounded record maker in today’s world.

Because the system has to fail safe. If there's a network glitch or somebody is using a bottom-tier pay-as-you-go mobile or a cheap-ass VOIP phone, they still need to be able to call for an ambulance, a fire truck, or the police.

Wonder how long they'll keep trying to use this as a carrot to "upgrade" to Windows 11 before giving in an letting it run on Windows 10?
