Most states outlaw corporal punishment in schools, but some do not, because there is a tradition going all the way back to English common law (like, it's in Blackstone's explicitly) that moderate physical correction by schoolmasters is an exception to the general rule that people must be free from physical assault.

In the states that don't currently ban corporal punishments in schools, it's likely that the municipal centers of those states do. By way of example: this article had to focus on Union County MS, which is in the middle of nowhere even for Mississippi. Jackson is the municipal center of Mississippi, and it bans corporal punishment.
I do remember my 5th grade teacher had a cracked paddle sitting on the chalkboard at all times. He pointed it out when we started the class and it was there as a daily reminder. This was a US public school in the mid-80s. Nobody back then had a problem with it. Certainly a different time.

Exactly. $450 for a motherboard just to get ECC support is ridiculous. I don't know how it is with AM5, but on AM4, my understanding is that you could use ECC memory with many normally-priced motherboards. (Even if it wasn't "officially" supported.)

Mentioning W680 feels pointless. You've always been able to buy high-end workstation-class motherboards and stick ECC in them. The entire point of the article is that all computers should be using ECC RAM, not just the expensive, workstation class computers.
> The only way you get out of being liable for rear-ending someone is if the leading car maliciously caused you to rear-end them, or if something unpredictable happened that would have made it impossible for you to avoid hitting the other car.

This is literally what happened in this situation. If you have a dashcam and something like this happens, you won't be found at fault.

If a teacher broke a damn ruler over my hands, let alone making my family pay for it when we grew up broke, I have to say, I would swing on her.
Ask HN: How does HN do this community?
I am puzzled by how good the HN community. HN consists of mostly wholesome articles and comments of people just trying to discuss and find the truth.
When I compare it to the other Social media sites I have setup for my company I cannot understand how HN did this with almost no "community guidelines".
How do you guys do it?
How do HN moderate, or do they moderate?
Posting the name of a harasser is not doxxing.
Same. We've been smacking kids for tens of thousands of years to protect them and society and somehow we went to the moon. There is a difference between smacking kids and abusing them.

I got smacked, but in a way that was traumatizing(?) as I remember every second of it decades later. Still, it did actually encourage me to improve the thing I got smacked about and probably led to me being as successful as I am (such as it were.)
FSD does not support highways yet, so it automatically switches to autopilot when you enter a highway. You can tell because they use completely different UIs, visualizations, settings, etc (FSD and autopilot are fully separate software).

Tesla has been promising FSD v11 which will support highways for a very long time already, but it isn't out yet.
Hi! I am also starting a tech consulting company, focusing more on blockchain as of now. Depends exactly if you want to grow as a consultant for firms or start your own business. I would advise with option B if you do not think you have a strong enough network to be able to get clients since its ~70% of the business. Go with option B, build a strong network and potential client list, exit and start your own company. I also would be down to chat if you like.
> How can you define spanking without using a term like "hitting?"

You call it spanking, or slapping on the bum.

Hitting colloquially gives the impression of a closed-fist.

> seems odd to have the person in authority return the favor by hurting the kids as punishment

The world is not fair. You can pick and choose rules based on a moral code but things like dress code, drugs, etc. are the institutional rules and they have setup consequences, agree with them or not.

And if you're hurting the child you aren't spanking, you're beating.
It's worth keeping in mind that the chipset has zero involvement in ECC. The CPU is directly attached to the memory slots. They're using the chipset as an expensive dongle.
They announced their plans, people objected and they listened. I don’t get what the problem is?
My understanding is that it's explicitly drawn from English common law; it's not derived from "in loco parentis", but rather a specific exception to the rule about assault.

In the states that ban it (and the major cities in most of the states that don't), it's assault, of course.
It is fairly normal for victims of violence to seek to explain away the abuse they were subjected to as deserved or necessary when carried out by someone in authority over them.

It doesn't change that it is harmful abuse. I'm sorry you were subjected to that kind of abuse, even though you believe it was justified.

There's nothing to suggest it serves a legitimate purpose.
Somewhat very unprofessional warning and straight-up doxing. What would be the alternative to this warning?
(Deleting, as I shouldn't have joined this conversation, but I can't seem to delete a post that has a reply. Apologies for the loss of context!)
I don’t need to justify my right to privacy to prevent you from violating it. Come up with a better defence than the redistribution of consequences, this not the EU.
If it's needed to protect the victim during the assault, yes.

Otherwise, a life sentence, with the right to appeal, is more error-proof.
Framing this as an “American” thing is disingenuous. There’s lots of countries, particularly in south and east Asia, where corporal punishment is “banned” but where’s it’s actually common in practice. For example corporal punishment was banned in Japan during the Meiji era, when it adopted a western style education system, but they passed another ban in 2020 because it remained common. Japanese people widely continue to support corporal punishment however: https://japantoday.com/category/national/survey-reveals-70-o...

By contrast in America it seems to be the opposite. Despite being legal it’s uncommon.
A lot of people are just born bad and the best we can hope is to keep them in line with fear of punishment.
That's the very tweet I'm referring to. Look at the screen and you'll see it's autopilot, not FSD (ignore what they say).

All these names are confusing to be honest, so it's understandable that people mix them up.

I worked at a company partially owned by C1. Our culture was somewhat derivative in the Agile aspect (Scrum, moving to SAFe).

> The scrum master is the one who pushes back against this and "protects" the devs, and basically ensures that sprints run smoothly.

That may be the ideal (of any leadership really) but our Scrum Masters reported to the PMO, which defined their agenda and financial rewards.

In fact, our weekly retros were not what we could do better, but what the PMO wanted us to do differently (like report time estimated / worked on stories in Jira down to the minute).
I don't believe this is true. 42 USC 1983 allows government actors to be sued for civil rights violations. Much of the precedence for capital punishment is before this, and is unlikely to be upheld.

While on the books it may look legal, if parents were to bring a lawsuit they would likely win.
Sounds like a Federal civil rights violation. Someone should sue.
It can be an effective tool. Or it can be abused (and, in fact, be abuse).

My own memory is of the time I wasn't hit. I was in elementary school. The principal was out shoveling snow off of the sidewalk where it crossed a driveway. I was out on recess, and I hit her with a snowball. She didn't hit me, though school policy allowed it at the time. Instead, she just had me shovel the snow. (Duh... what did I think was going to happen?)
That they make up a small proportion of the population is indisputable. Just check disposable wealth demographics. That they tend toward greater average intelligence than many in the average is certainly much more debatable, but at least in terms of access to better education resources, yes. Though I think that yes, on average, many of those who made their own wealth are better at problem solving and planning than the average.
Is there no way to get a preview of the resolution and "look" of the image being processed? The preview is low resolution but could you unhide a random 100mx100m section to show it?

From the preview I wouldn't pay for what I could see. I work with GIS and there are lots of aerial photos with crisp resolution of details but the season or lighting that day or color processing makes it look like a "bad photo."
What would hitting a child accomplish in either of those cases?

If you're able to disarm the child or remove everyone in the vicinity to safety, would you still feel the need to beat them? To what end?
Defining corporeal punishment as "child abuse" is incorrect.
> Some devs were harassed

> recommend to contact the local authorities

Does this kind of behavior meet the bar for legal harassment? In California it seems not per https://www.courts.ca.gov/1258.htm?rdeLocaleAttr=en which requires a threat of violence to rise to the level of harassment.

Does the post's recommendation rise to the level of legal advice? This all feels very childish to me.
I can say that, for me, being told by someone I respected that I was doing something wrong was always enough to stop poor behavior.

Hitting a child to teach them could be better than some alternatives. But it's definitely not the best approach. It seems like an option for those without any idea on what else to do.
It's their personal anecdote.
> kids who physically intimidate usually do so because they face violence or threat of it at home, so it's normalized.

I don't know about "usually" but I know that it's sometimes the case, and that is main reason hesitant to say that teachers should be allowed to do this. They don't know what's going on at that kid's home.

I do know that sometimes, kids are violent little shits just because they can be. When I attacked my brother with that bat it wasn't because I was being abused by an adult at home, it was simply because my brother insulted my inability to hit a ball. I reject the narrative that bullies are categorically victims of bullying themselves.
I think you’re right, that’s what the parent comment was referring to. That seemed patently ridiculous, so I made a joke about how the recourse would be moving away.

Might be better to just make it illegal to hit children?
> Conflating spanking with "hitting" seems disingenuous.

Spanking is intentional hitting for the purpose of inflicting pain; your attempt to distinguish them is disingenuous.
They have, although the article gets it wrong - the U.K. did not ban it in 1986, as my school experience attests - I was caned frequently, and a caning was, honestly, preferable to the alternatives which usually involved gravel.

It was banned in state funded schools in 1986. Public (i.e. private) schools, 1999. I suppose at least it gave parents the choice as to whether or not they’d like their kids to be beaten, and at least at school they didn’t use the buckle end of a belt, just a meter rule.
Let the kids press charges.
One cannot lend books or DVDs, one can only gift them.
The National Science Foundation (NSF) runs the research activities on the base. They don't allow anyone random there and they would be immediately obvious.

There are some Antarctic cruise ships that come in and do a day trip. I hear the NSF hates this and makes sure everyone gets back on the boat.

They plan their logistics over a year in advance. Anyone showing up unexpectedly is going to throw that off.
Because there are still commercial exchanges between the West and Russia.

This layoff in my opinion will create one of the biggest startup revolutions (similar to 2008) in history. This number is just huge and we will see the effect in 2024 IMO.
I haven't noticed any latency issues either, compared to an Xbox One or GuliKit controller.

I have had the issue where the controller will connect but no button / axis events actually are produced. Disconnecting and reconnecting fixes it for me. This seems to be a common issue from other comments I've seen online.
A quick note that while MS obviously doesn't ban corporal punishment statewide, the largest school system in MS does. Even in MS, the case study that leads the article, it's clear to most adults that corporal punishment of students is unacceptable.
Can you maybe oppose physical discipline in schools on its own merits, instead of dragging in every other issue under the sun?
> Hitting colloquially gives the impression of a closed-fist.

Hitting does not imply closed fist.
i picked up a letter opener, i didnt have to do it a second time, the strap was replaced by calls to parents.

Indeed... If I had to ban a community member for bad behaviour, I would want to do it in the most professional way possible, and never to directly accuse OP of anything not backed up with a direct link to evidence of wrongdoing.
Is there another source for this?

The website posted also has an article about UFOs in Ukraine: https://www.asiamarkets.com/russia-shoots-ufo/

Edit: Searching around, I cannot find another source, so take this news with a grain of salt.

Second edit: There are a bunch of screen shots on Twitter saying that Binance's specific payments processor has stopped SWIFT payments for less than 100k USD, but other normal currencies are fine. Seems to me to be far more nuanced than the OP link suggests, especially as the article cuts the Binance email short.
Are Google teams even allowed to use GCS?
In the UK, where the Economist is published, parents are still allowed to physically abuse their kids (within certain limits; it must be "reasonable" punishment), so unfortunately it's not all that universally a non-American perspective.
If you're spanking to inflict pain, that's beating.

It's the fear of getting in trouble, that's why spanking doesn't work in older ages.

You don't slap the the bum enough to hurt, it's the event and the getting in trouble that disciplines.
It is not a conspiracy. Many companies do actually lay off a number of senior employees in downturns and rehire less experienced employees at a cheaper rate (taking into factor experience).
The great thing about solving aging is that, if you can do it in your lifetime, then it doesn't matter how many years you put into it.
Murder would be an overreaction to physical abuse. More appropriate would be to catch the perpetrator alone and beat the piss out of him.
2^16 = 65536.
Okay! Take it up with the Treasury Department then, not me. I'm just your local Internet Commentariat Bureau delegate.
Good.

The sooner crypto and these exchanges are cut off entirely the better.

Nowadays, I don't see crypto used for payments at all anyway so it makes total sense.
It could be that they're aiming to hire at a discount and do layoffs last once they've replaced their employees with cheaper staff.

Citizen zoologists report global loss of species.

That's a headline I am far more concerned with.
- Anchorhead. "anchor.z8". Not libre software, but cool. And, one day, it might be. You need a Z-Machine interpreter, such as Frotz.

- Dungeon. That's Zork I-III, condensed. More pure to the original adventures than the Infocom's further changes. 70% of chances of being libre software in a very close future, few months of years.

- Spiritwrak. A Zorkian adventure, but libre software. Good to play.

- Spider and Web. "Tangle.z5". Like the movie "Memento", based on flashbacks on an interrogation. You must recall what you've done and how.

- Vicious Cycles. "Cycles.z5". Close to the movie "Source Code", but the game came earlier.

- All Things Devours. "Devours.z5". A time travelling puzzle. You can compile it from source: https://jxself.org/git/devours

- Slashem. Not text adventures, but a roguelike. Buuut... Slashem comes from Nethack and that from Hack until you arrive to Rogue as the origin, and that game it's basically Adventure+RPG concepts+a top down view. Also, objects matter a lot on a text adventure because of their interaction. The same happens in Slashem, combat and proper usage of objects are equally needed to win.
This is ycom, so the replies are of course biased towards the "I always have good internet" paradigm.

I live about 5 months per year in my RV in the middle of a desert. Internet is a phone-tethered experience. What is this "streaming" thing you talk about? I'd be buffering all night.

Finding out which system it was using is pretty much the first step of any kind of investigation, which this is.

As a consumer you probably would want to know if this is caused by the autopilot that you are using and have been using for years, or if it's the beta FSD that you have to opt in.
Well, this makes Google less attractive for "could be" employees. They will have to lower the bar. Many with brains and ideas will choose startups.

Trust me, you accept the beating. The alternatives and escalation path was not something you wanted to explore. My school had waterboarding on the menu, for instance, which I cannot recommend.

And no, you can’t retaliate in secret by putting thumbtacks in the master’s shoes - that just results in cohort punishment and witch-hunts by your fellow pupils who want to skewer whoever is responsible for bringing down the wrath of god upon them.

Binance reportedly sent emails to their customers saying they've been cut off from SWIFT.
I had an embedded project once that was a personal one, but a few dozen people seemed to have used parts of it in their own stuff (it was MIT licensed). Then along came "Henry" (made up to protect the not so innocent). He had some ideas on the architecture. They weren't bad but I didn't care to change the core of my project and told him I would be happy if he forked my stuff and reused whatever he liked and I'd put an "alternatives" section in the github readme and that would be that. Henry was having -none- of that, he wanted to "work with me", etc, etc. Somehow he eventually got my phone number and was actually calling me out of the blue. Luckily it was a google voice number that I could easily drop. I just shut down the project, sent the people I knew who were actively using it notice and final git checkin of my RC changes, put a notice on the page I was shutting it down and to get it before I deleted my repo and account. The other stuff I had on there was private so I just created a new github moved it out and then closed out the other account after a month. It's quite scary how far people will go to troll and interfere in your life over something so unimportant as a small github side project.
> … "and there are limitations that go along with that."

There would be limitations if those governments involved weren't populated almost entirely by corporate owned puppets.
They have guns, don’t they?
Bull markets and a strong financial situation usually pushes companies to overhire or over estimate the number of employees they do actually need. I have seen clients I worked with and we have advised 75% layoffs multiple of times. This is especially true in the dev teams.
Even if you don't want to read Beck's book on it, TDD is ludicrously simple and still somehow greatly misunderstood:

1. Write a test

2. See that it fails (if it passes, you're testing a feature you already implemented or you're testing something you don't mean to be testing)

3. Make it pass (by changing the code, not the test, seen that too many times)

4. Refactor

5. Repeat

The catchphrase is "red-green-refactor". I don't know why people try and make it more complicated than that.

Regarding your post, just wanted to say that if you took my other comments as criticism of you they were not. Your misunderstanding of TDD is actually very common and I was intending to address that, specifically. I actual consider the fact that you both rejected the flawed TFD-style (and mass creation of tests that comes with it) and rediscovered TDD (the above process, more or less) both amusing and a positive thing. It shows you're doing what many others aren't, actually thinking and experimenting to discover techniques that work (at least for you and on this project).

This has a grain of truth: it's faster for the condemned, and less expensive for the society.

It could be an option for the condemned to choose: some amount of lashing, or some time of forced labor directed to restore the damage from the crime.

It would be less educational and correctional though.

If you're in one of those 19 states, you ban corporal punishment in your municipality or in its school system, which is what happens in practice.
