On almost every dimension Ethereum looks like the most decentralized network out there: Most nodes, most validators, most distribution of validators, most clients, most development teams, ease of making your own block.
I don't understand the negativity here.

Google has been introducing this at multiple levels, resulting in much more secure android devices.

Instead of doing one big system update the way Apple does, they can update small parts of the system which results in much faster updates.
The actual report: http://www.fss.aero/accident-reports/dvdfiles/PT/2001-08-24-...

One of my pet peeves: the first 7 "causes and contributing factors" effectively blames the engine technicians for taking shortcuts. Nowhere does it say anything about the scheduling pressure from management that made the technicians consider shortcuts in the first place. If you have hiring and firing power and you tell someone they need to get the plane back in the air a few days later, they will do things to get the plane back in the air a few days later.

This is considered simply a "risk" by the report, and not a direct cause. As a consequence, the actual actions taken basically all belong to the category of "fix the engineers", "fix the flight crew", or "fix the plane". Not a single "fix the stressful maintenance environment".

This is normal, but OpenAI should really make it more obvious to the user that ChatGPT's responses are limited in length and will be truncated if that length is exceeded.
Quite a few years, means since Android 10, and they add to first introduce GSI[0] (after Treble changes) to actually make it work, as OEMs were free to ignore Treble anyway.

A tiny amount of gold costs a shitload of money. 1kg of gold costs around 60k eur. More than most people have in savings. No problems to transport something like that if you don't brag that you own it.

But the same applies to BTC. Telling others that you own a large amount of it is not a good idea. It can be stolen in various ways too. Like by an exchange that's owned by a trustworthy and altruistic billionaire.

It's been 14 years and BTC is not even close to mass adoption.

Even my mom knows what it is but has no need or interest to use it.

What would make "normies" switch to BTC if they haven't already?
> I want to know if there's any genetics involved with cavities.

same! i have no cavities at all. my wife, who has eats the same diet as myself and brushes her teeth the same amount i do, has cavities all the time!
My dentist does the same. When I first went there (after not having gone do the dentist for 3-4 years, because I never had any issues with cavities) he told me that there are 4 cavities I need to get fixed. I was very sceptical at first, but agreed to get them done.

He fixed all 4 of them in 20 minutes. When he drilled open one of the teeth, he showed me how it looked with one of these small cameras that you could see live on the screen. It was absolutely obvious that there was a considerable cavity.

Explaining to your customers what needs to be done, proving it with pictures and/or x-rays, and explaining the different options generates a lot of trust.

While we can make such a quality distinction between human and artifical generation at the moment, it seems plausible that there's a future where such a distinction is either not meaningful, or perhaps even skewed against humanity. The human brain is, after all, a computer operating on input in the form of experience and biology.
We need AI judges, not lawyers. Then we can have prompts, which make you non-guilty on each occasion, may be also provided by AI for convenience. We would save so much money on taxes.
My dentist, who my family and I have seen my entire life, believed the “cavity factor” was how much fluoride you got as a kid. Now that we are on well water I supplement my children’s water with fluoride drops.
This right here is why all healthcare, including dentistry and optometry, should be nationalised.
I work at Grafana Labs, and this isn't an official statement by any means, just my personal perspective, but we pretty much need some type of tracking to hold us accountable and get a general idea of how widely Grafana is deployed.

You can actually see exactly what is tracked here https://github.com/grafana/grafana/blob/main/pkg/infra/usage... and beyond basic statistics we collect an anonymous ID which is a random UUID which we have no way to correlate back to the running instance (and which can easily be reset).
Unless your rules force them not to. E.g. "you are only allowed to use unicode whitespace characters and ancient greek letters". Guarantueed to not be used anywhere else.

On a more serious note: enforce minimum length, enforce that it is not in the list of most common passwords, enforce that the password is not their username/email and inform about the risk of password reuse.

If an account is hacked because they used "password" as their password they won't care about your argument why it was hacked (and if you did things right you won't know what password they used). So better avoid that class of problem in front.

> usually the Pilot Monitoring

FTFY.

It's a common misconception in the general population that the Captain always flies the plane and the FO supports them.

There's always a pilot flying, and pilot monitoring. The roles are usually decided before the flight by the Captain and have nothing to do with who is Captain and who is First Officer.
Most people know about scripts and what are for. Most people don't know anything about just or what a "Justfile" is.

Many germans go abroad for cheaper, and sometimes, better treatment. It's not uncommon to go on a "dental holiday" to Hungary, Romania, or Spain. An implant is usually in the range of 500-800€ in these places.
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. I tried yesterday, out of three simple tries it managed to solve it only once. Highly unpredictable. So you cannot really say "it knows caesar ciphers".

Edit: in fact I would like an explanation for how this can be? I have seen examples of solved caesar ciphers where the sentence (and its solution) seems unlikely to have been memorized, so how can ChatGPT get the right answer for those if not by actually deciphering it? And if it can decipher in some cases, how come it generally fails (in my experience)?
Used to live in NZ where I believe we had one of the world's most organised, fairest fiber rollouts. I moved from 1Gbps to 5Mbps connection (in central London!!) when I first got here.

This is just gonna be one more thing to tack onto the artificial price of new houses (and old ones). The property market here is so incredibly boned, houses often aren't properly modernised, construction methods used are from the 60's a lot of the time bc rather than knock down & rebuilt to modern standards, they just keep repairing the old - plus a lot of "new builds" are built super cheaply/crappily as well.

And all of these problems for the low, low price of half a million £ for a three bedroom terraced house, not even detached.
in most cases you can just say "continue" and it'll pick up where it stopped (even if it was mid-sentence). this also works if the output ends in the middle of a code block.
In the case of a fire where all apartments are occupied (each by two people on average) in your SF apartment, you have in theory 40 people/2 stairs= 20 people each (though it is more likely that there is a "main" stairwell, so that will take - say - 28 people and the other one 12.

In a small multi-apartment block, up to 10-12 apartments (5/6 on 2 floors or 2/3 on 4-5 floors) the single stairs/fire exit will be used by the same amount of people or less.

If you prefer, if you graph it, the function of number of stairs per block depends on number of apartments and the points are:

1=1

2=2

3=2

4=2

5=2
...

what the author is saying is that the step at 2 apartments is too low, compared to what are the norms in other countries and that these countries have not worse records, statistically, for deaths in fires.

This latter is debatable, as there are so many factors involved such as efficiency of rescue/fire services, type of construction (materials used), height of rooms, sizes of windows, number of floors of the "average" building in any given country (and even local situations, city by city) that it is difficult to do a sensible comparison.
Yup! I totally get that as I ran into it the first time I used pyinvoke. I got around this limitation by using pyinvoke to just specify the tasks, their arguments and what other tasks they rely on, and let the tasks that share arguments delegate their core to the common function. It is an inconvenience, so I was planning on contributing this missing feature upstream to the library.
Or go the usual Microsoft route:

1. First have an telemetry.opt-out setting with the default value of "false".

2. Wait a few versions and then switch to telemetry.enabled with a default value of "true". And then just ignore the old setting, don't migrate it.

It baffles me, that the people that are the most cryptocurreny-enthusiast are the ones most likely to confuse the proof for a _usecase_ of a technology with the sheer _price_ development a digital token on a completely volatile market.

What your comment says is that more people decided to pump money into a cryptocurrency over (completely biased chosen) x amount of time than people cashing out (if put differently one could definitely encorporate the terms of greater-fool or pyramid in this senetence).
Talking about coffe makers. I swear to Moccamaster. At my grandfathers cabin, I've had coffee made from a Moccamaster older then me, and I'm turning 40 later this year.

It just makes damn good coffee. Don't expect it to break on my watch.
I lost multiple teeth and spent some time in an ER due to infections of bad root canals. The root canals were the result of teeth rotting due to them being badly "sealed" (covered with some sort of plastic, something they apparently did in the 80s). They were being sealed because I as a kid with no idea what was going on was taken along to some other family's dentist and that dentist just did the sealing. Oh yeah, somewhere in between all this, all my lead fillings were replaced with something better, which was probably a good decision. 80s Germany, yay!
Exactly what happened to me (UK) last year! Hadn't been to the dentist for something like 10 years. My partner (TW) takes me to her family dentist and I was expecting loads of problems, but he only did one small touch up filling and cleaning. Just one procedure in 10 years!
Hah! In Brazil nowadays pretty much all babies are born by C-section. Why? Doctors like it because it's more convenient since you can schedule it, whereas natural birth happens when it happens. Women like it because it happens under anesthetic and for (ahem) cosmetic reasons.
Public transit, bikes, electric skateboards, and taxis allow you to move mostly invisibly in cities when required.

Also not having a cellular connection is not a burden once you learn how to navigate for yourself again, and know how to quickly find wifi when you need it. If anything it frees you from compulsive notification checking.

If people flag me as a potential malcontent and discriminate against me I am happy to turn it into an expensive media circus to raise more awareness. I am exercising my legal right to opt out of surveillance systems.

The more people that do this, the less we stand out and the more protected we all are. I do not even -need- to do any of this but I help provide cover for the people that rally do. People like me also make it harder for businesses to do away with cash, table pagers, paper menus, etc.
I can't wait for the first appeal based on ineffective assistance of artificial counsel.

(Yes I know in this case the defendant is acting pro se and therefore couldn't appeal on that basis but it's a fun idea to think about).
This is too real. I wrote a java port of it to use with my SaaS, Nbvcxz. I had attended many in-person and webinar training sessions with our customers, and inevitability you'd have someone who was just unable to get past creating a password that didn't contain their name and birthday, or part of their email address, or the company name...all of which are added to a personalized exclusion dictionary.

These are all internal users at large CPG companies in sales or accounting. I don't understand how so many people who have to work with software all day cannot figure out passwords and login flows.
I had a thing about avoiding fluoride toothpaste, since I was fed fluoride pills daily as a child. So I just stopped using toothpaste for 20 years or so; I'd brush with water and then use mouthwash. I definitely built up quite a bit of protective plaque. I guess it's not real pretty, but I think you're right if what you mean is that it guards against cavities.

[edit] to be clear, it's not like orcishly heinous or coated with nasty algae or something; I even have a somewhat disarming smile, it's just not gleaming bleached white.
Password length isn't a problem because you never store the actual password in the database.

What you do is use a hashing function[0] in the provided password and you store this result in the database. And these hashes tend to have a fixed size output. So it doesn't matter if your original password had 10 or 200 characters, the resulting hash will have the same size.

Your honor, we rest our badgers badgers badgers badgers
There are still inconsistencies between NHS dentists, visual assessment of cavities and what justifies treatment is inherently subjective.

My first dentist retired after I'd had no fillings to date, their replacement on first appointment said I required two fillings and it continued in a similar manner.

Later on I had moved city, but was still travelling back for dental appointments. The second dentist said I needed another filling doing, but I ended up moving to a new NHS dentist in my new city. They disagreed about the filling, saying you can't fill teeth if it would go below the gum line. Pulled the tooth instead.

Even with NHS appointments, you can go 'private' a-la-carte if you can be convinced to have white fillings or similar extras and pay slightly more.
Now do lawyers.
Vast majority of population is vitamin D deficient all year round, even spending at least 4 hours a day half naked outdoors in Hawaii would not provide you enough vitamin D [1] and I doubt you spend that much time half naked in sunlight in other seasons, even 80-90% of Indian population living close to equator with much more sunlight is vitamin D deficient [2]. At very least I'd recommend following Finnish guidelines. [3]

CallerSmart Pro: Generate Leads and Grow Your Sales in 3 Easy Steps
Based on the experience of people I know, the 'easiest' way is to get hired by a company in the US (or wherever you are) that has a significant Japanese branch, work there for a while, and then ask to get transferred. But be aware that even 'better' working conditions can be much worse than you are used to.
I wouldn't go as far to even say Amazon delivery people are in competition with UPS and Fedex delivery. Amazon's couriers (as you call them, and it seems like a good designation), practically work the last mile for Amazon, from the Hub, to a given customer's address. I imagine UPS, USPS (here in the states) and Fedex are still handling much of the deliveries and shipments to Amazon's hubs in the first place?
I dislike any kind of CAPTCHA. That said, reCAPTCHA is the worst. It may be my combination of anonymised Firefox, CG-NAT and other tracking and privacy protections, but reCAPTCHA is overly hostile to me.
What is problematic with the banks' approach to crypto is that by closing accounts of companies or persons having something to do with crypto they are making it impossible to pay taxes. This is putting people and businesses in serious jeopardy of being prosecuted on the grounds of tax avoidance. I would love to know if such behaviour falls under anti-trust laws or may even be unconstitutional. Refusal of provision of services that may result in prosecution looks illegal to me, but I'd like to hear a lawyer's opinion.
free credits is not money. FAANG can't just create money by saying we give you 100k credits
For a friendly (to UPS) payment of $5.99, UPS America will happily deliver your package to a nearby location.

The worst part is that if you just want the package held at the hub in advance then it’s still $5.99 now, even though they didn’t have to actually deliver anything! It’s crazy.

So just wait. I’m sure UPS Norway will soon be coming for your money too.
Please send me all Deutsche Marks you have. I will then go to the Deutsche Bank and exchange them for Euros :)
I think this is just the pent up and justified resentment over short support lifecycles in the Android community historically, lashing out.
Absolutely. Everyone has "microcavities". Those may be revered by remineralization. Those gradually grow into full blow cavities over time if not remineralized.
Oh boy.

Years ago I visited my home country with my partner. She used to prefer going to dentist there, old habits I guess. On this particular trip I agreed to a check up as well - It had been a while since I had my teeth checked, why not?

Really fancy dentists. Big offices, flashy machines, everything looked pristine. X-rays are taken, teeth are checked. Result: You need root canal! You should have it done soon, it's going to get much worse and hurt a lot more! We can do book you in ASAP.

Hollllld on. I was on holiday, I'm not about to have a root canal procedure done and ruin my time off. I'll take the xrays and check back with a dentist back home.

I pay dearly for the check and xrays and proceed to not enjoy my time off as much as I could have - I was worried.

Fly back home, book a session with my usual dentist. "I can't see anything wrong with this tooth. But let me do an xray as well... Nope. Can't see anything wrong."

It has been around 5 years now. That dentist would have performed root canal on me for no apparent reason...

One really interesting conversation I had with my usual dentist:

Me: So really, nothing wrong? Why would they say otherwise?

Dentist: Nothing wrong. I'm not sure why they told you otherwise.

Me: That's just...

Dentist: Tell you what, they say it's this tooth points, right? Do any other of your teeth look different in the xray? Check the root as well, pay close attention.

Me: I don't see any difference, but I'm not a dentist...

Dentist: Well, I am a dentist, but I also see no difference.

I'd also note the hereditary love for trade/manufacturing secrets which transformed into adoption of extremely proprietary licensing. Developers prior to ~2015 hardly ever considered publishing their code or even format specs. This secrecy has deep roots and it really annoys and pisses me off. I'm not narrowing down on corporate software - even hobbyists who write "dating games" would never publish code even if it's something ridiculously simple. I can hardly remember an example of FOSS from Japan except for CrystalDiskInfo. But I can tell for sure, when you were using japanese software from before 2010s you could FEEL it, the proprietaniness, the secrecy, the know-howness, the one-of-a-kind-ness, handmad(e)ness :)
I still remember trying that "dark internet" sharing program... SO secret and proprietary, so much security by obscurity - it made be laugh, cry and facepalm.

Ask HN: Developers, how do you deal with socials, blogging, etc
Throwaway.. because I don't want to tie my actual account to this one.

People - how do you deal with the ongoing requirements it appears that jobs place, such as social network involvement. To me - this means LinkedIn posting rubbish, Twitter bollocks, public GitHub repos for sharing - even the asks from employers to post here.

I, as a person have zero accounts anywhere, except for one here. I've been gainfully employed in industry for ~2 decades, and frankly I have neither need nor desire to have a "social profile". I speak at conferences when I want to, sans twitter, linkedin, etc. Moreso - I find the amount of developer advocate written blogspam (let's just call it marketing crap) only contributes to the web problems - and hence have started to block... everything, including my employer's search results (personally, with a plugin in DuckDuckGo and Google.

I'm not interested in writing blog things. I'm interested in continuing my ongoing work as a principal engineer, without marketing externally on the fakery of "how great we/I am/are", or "humbelbragging", or frankly any of the rubbish I keep encountering. I just want to focus on the things we're collectively doing to be successful.

So... how do you handle this?

I've been reading Admiral Cloudberg's write-ups for a few years since discovering them over on Reddit's r/CatastrophicFailure,[0] they're all truly excellent. I really enjoy his clear, no nonsense writing style.

IMO Berlin doctors + dentists are rather untrustworthy. It's a meme that there will be no appointments available until you mention "private insurance" or "self pay" - at which point they can suddenly see you in the next few days. I've heard of people going across the border to Poland specifically for dental treatment due to the cost and quality of Berlin.
