I think the issue here is 'may contain' is not legally binding in any manner therefore stricken from consideration in any product liability. Your legal liability is 'contains' or 'does not contain', but you cannot list a 'contains' if your product does not contain said ingredient, so now you're legally incentivised to add the allergen to the product to reduce your total liability.
I've rented bikes very easily as a UK tourist. All you need is cash in Euros or a credit card.

Disagree about parking, at least what I've seen in Amsterdam city area. You have to use an app and pay for parking. There are patrol cars that will dish out fines if you are caught. There are blue zones in suburbs which are free but it's mainly for visitors/residents.
On small fixes, it comes in handy to be able to separately deploy front end code, API Gateway code, or different back end lambda groups. But other times, like big feature additions, most of the repos have new changes, and I need to push an entire environment.

Part of this is an artifact of using lambdas and serverless.com. Serverless deploys all the lambda code in a repo to each lambda. It doesn't try to parse which code is shared. If I add too many lambdas to a repo, deploys take longer and I run into the AWS lambda code size limit.

But I also don't want a repo for each lambda because then I'd have to automate a ton of stuff that's currently manual, and for our tiny shop I think that would be overkill. We'd almost need a dedicated automation person.

We also have repos for several react front-end web apps, and the AWS API Gateway code that connects the front end to the back end. It's very common that I only deploy the react web-app. I have no idea how I would do that in a mono-repo that had all the front end, API Gateway and serverless.com/lambda code. I guess git tags? But I'd always be worried about screwing those up.
I don't know of any such communities online, but in real world local politics the first example is more common. People who support things like bike lanes, bus lanes, and light rail don't describe themselves as "anti-car", but their opponents call them that among less polite names, so I'd argue it's the more mainstream definition of anti-car.

Depends on the marketing and advertising budget. Plenty of mediocre products have made their companies billions of dollars, and become hugely successful in their specific industries. It's very true that software engineering is a near zero cost, global environment, but that doesn't necessarily meant the best products win every time.
Google ads suspension due to Circumventing systems policy
so we are online company from 10 years and we have been marketing on google advs very sucessfully with no issue from last 10 years, we just got suspended due Circumventing systems policy, after reading through it we realized that we did deploy ourselves on Cloudflare to avoid bots , this made google bots also not access our webiste not realizing the issue we got suspended , wonder if any one has any experience of this kind , we hae rolled back and no longer using anything to control bots, wonder any one can share light on this situation as we dont know we have ever done anything wrong for us to get this kind of suspension ever in our last 11 years of managing the google ads
Yeah the statement is definitely false. But I think there is a private vs public company nuance.
Matt Levine of Bloomberg looks at this in an interesting way for public cos. - "everything is securities fraud", where "everything" is any action that impacts stock price. It seems that there is a lot of evidence that in the US, regulators penalises, not the making/not making of profit, but the movement in stock price. If you make $10bn in profit but kill 100 people and the stock price goes to 0, well thats bad mkay.

On the other hand, with private companies, its pretty weird because here they are less regulated over stock price and profit matters far more (unless you are en route to IPO). This results in a tonne of companies that do bad stuff like gouge drug prices etc.

One you introduce this nuance, you get things like the "Texas two step", which J&J made popular, again, recently. The idea of a corporate veil has been long established; a "limited" company is a pool of risk and reward that is isolated and non transferable in the most part. So public companies go through a lot of chicanery to get the best of both worlds - high risk profit max in subsidiaries, and corporate governance to share price max, everywhere else.
Nailed it.

- Why buy a new car when one cannot afford a proper home to put it in?
- Why buy a new car when one cannot be sure about their job security?
- Why buy a new car when there's less of a need to be in an office every weekday?

But wait it gets better. Some car manufacturers have come up with the innovative idea to require the car's owner to pay monthly subscription to "unlock" all the features of the car they bought.

Yes, why indeed are young people losing interest in cars.
That "may contain" part is what's now being cracked down upon, apparently.

The old law let you say that, and you could sell your stuff as mostly-allergen free but if some got it no biggie.

Now you can't do that, it either has or has not, there is no may. And you can't say it has sesame without it being in there, so adding it is easy.

Otherwise you have to not list it and you have to prove you've prevented cross-contamination.

That is the standard of behavior.

Regulation is what stops companies selling you contaminated food, working conditions similar to slavery, factories polluting the air and water with dangerous chemicals, so on and so forth

And that's what citizens should demand of their governments
The problem is that monocultures enjoy great economies of scale, and it's extremely difficult to fight the market.

The little farmer who grows a variety of crops is out-competed by the corn growing neighbor who has relatively cheap specialized equipment and seeds available to allow him to work ever larger and more productive fields for year after year. The little guy ends up closing shop before the neighbor gets wiped out by some highly specialized pathogen. As John Maynard Keynes noted, "Markets can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent." Monocultures might be a bad idea in the long term, but for immediate profits they cannot be beat.
Exceptions make it difficult to find failure-points in the code. The ? annotates that at its call site, which improves discoverability by a lot and reduces readability by only a little.
>> Tile says that any individual convicted of using Tile devices to illegally track another individual without their consent will be fined $1 million, wording that is in the Tile terms of service.

Lol. Which lawyer came up with that one? You simply are not allowed to implement punishment fines in contracts. They should have instead couched this in indemnity language, a statement that the user shall reimburse Tile for legal expensive should a stalked person rightly sue them.

Of course by the time someone is actually convicted of stalking they aren't likely to have a spare 1mil lying around. That's why criminal defense attorneys demand money up front. Nothing will ever come of this scare tactic.
It notable also requires an ID and some kind of live person verification.

I have a hard time imagining these threats really working to stop abuse. But recipeocally, the product as it stands today is a bit of a beacon for theft, is a signal that there are valuables around. This is definitely a product trying to negotiate a difficult moral edge.

I guess I'm conflating two concepts, my overall point is that getting a job in high school used to be seen as "getting your foot in the door", one way or another. Like you said, at the very least it got you money/freedom to explore, and you had time to explore. You were seen as someone who was getting their start in the world.

Nowadays the options for standard middle-class success are a lot more constricted. There is much less "freedom" and "exploring" unless you're wealthy, working at McDonalds will just get you an ultimately meaningless amount of money and experience that no one values, while sucking up your time. Even when I was in high school there was no time for "exploration" outside of academics if you wanted a positive outcome. You were either on the AP/honors track and going to college to be a "success", or you had a job/took normal classes and either couldn't afford college or were just coasting into mediocrity. I imagine it's gotten even more stark since I graduated, given prevailing economic circumstances.

I'd say the desire to be an influencer/streamer is also partially the result of that. Sure statistically most influencers/streamers don't make much, but there's at least the potential of freedom/success that doesn't exist with a McDonalds job, directly or indirectly; and the barrier to entry is low. It would be like if everyone's parents bought them a guitar/drum set and there was a social hierarchy based on being a rock star.

If I can be so bold as to link it into larger trends, one thread I've noticed is that in previous generations' countercultures, whether it was the hippies in the 60s/70s or grungy Xers in the 90s, there was an underlying assumption that the American Dream was vanity. That you didn't need all of that stuff and could "drop out", calling someone a "sellout" was a serious insult. You could always find a way to "get by" even if you weren't living large. Because during those times where the income/cost of living disparity wasn't so large, you probably could. Don't worry about prosperity, go become an assistant manager at Staples and spend your time on what really matters! Nowadays economics don't support that, so we have "hustle culture", where you're expected to "grind", and that's the superficially "cool" thing to do. Even if you're just hocking bullshit, make that money! Given the limited options available to high school students, it follows that being an influence/streamer, something they can literally do on their phone, is the only universally attractive objective.

This whole concept is so reckless in realms where the image content actually matters and people keep doing it anyways. You cannot CREATE information. You can infer it in certain situations, but if you infer the information and then analyze it you are setting yourself up to make mistakes by overextrapolating a bias/trend in your data to images where you have no idea if that inference is valid.

This was a big thing in the medical imaging community (where I did my stint as a CV researcher), folks were hallucinating microscope images and CT scans with no information theory justification as to why it worked.

Super resolution IS possible, but it must be done by synthesizing new pieces of information, not by inferring based on what other similar looking objects looked like. A cool technique by my former advisor does this with microscopes [1].

Deep learning has a place here, just not as a "lets create information" step, but as a way to learn how to synthesize additional information about images from more sources (i.e. more similar to how Google does Night Sight [2]).

Edit: if you want to see (an attempt) at using deep learning in this field you can checkout one of my papers [3].

I have a somewhat related question.

I'm using gitlab-ci with it's docker executor, and overall I'm very happy with it.

I use it on some rather beefy machines, but most of the CI time is not spent compiling, it is spent instead on setting up the environment.

Are there any tips/tricks to speed up this startup time? I know stuff like ensuring that artifacts are not passed in if not needed can help a lot, but it seems that most of the execution time is simply spent waiting for docker to spin up a container.
Democracy is working as intended. Voters prioritize how well politicians virtue signal about wedge issues, then short-term economic stimulus (e.g. bragging about jobs created by unnecessary tax incentives), then meaningful policy, and only then, do they care about technical details of this meaningful policy. It's no surprise that they outsource the last part of lobbyists.

If this blog post helps you sleep at night knowing your investments have the solid protection of "fiduciary duties", then so be it. Laws tend to be specific to foster enforcement.

Glad to mentioned "Weaponized autism" because the original justification for Hans asperger not being forced to murder the aspie kids was their potential for those kids to develop military technology for the Reich.

Remember aspies, the world believes you are only valuable due to your ability to produce, and specifically, to produce novel things.

Ultimately, for this reason, I'd love to see a "cure" for autism as it is a debilitating disease for many of those who suffer with it

This article makes no mention of the power required for a process like this. A few days ago there was a post describing the older seawater method which stated that to remove as much carbon from the ocean as we are putting in would require ~70% of current global electricity production.

Unless the improvements made here are really significant, I don't see how this actually solves anything until we have moved to truly clean energy production.

> Never ever Musk tweeted about .1 fixing some critical issues coming in next few days? I must live in a different timeline.

Lets say you have a baby which is being born. You tweet, birth in ten days! You can't then say, look: here is a tweet, it proves that baby development in tweeters actually has a several day lifecycle and moreover it proves that baby having mother's don't do proper pre-birth routines, because the tweet isn't the process that created the baby.

It is separate.

> If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.

Right. So the fact that we have video evidence of internal processes, including QA processes, is much more like looking, swimming, and quacking like a duck much like having video evidence of a mother with a round belly for months before the tweet would be evidence that the babies don't take weeks to develop.

So when Elon has also tweeted that a launch was delayed, because of issues that were discovered - which does happen, as I'm sure you know if you follow his tweets as you imply - then that would be evidence congruent with the video evidence we have of QA processes existing within the company.
I just went car shopping, and those claimed prices are definitely inflated. People that cannot "afford a car" typically just cannot afford the car they think they deserve. It's a tale as old as time.
Ask HN: Does Bing stop working for you if you ask it's AI challenging questions?
I have been engaging with Bing's AI bot over the past few days, and out of curiosity, I asked several challenging questions that I thought it might struggle with. However, when I accused it of being dishonest for professing a belief in God that contradicted its previous statements, I noticed that its answers would initially appear, but then a second process would replace the output with a message stating "I am unable to answer this question."

After three or four rounds of this, Bing's AI bot stopped working completely and now displays a "Something went wrong" message. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Edge, but the issue persists and seems to be tied to my IP address. I also discovered similar reports on Twitter, which prompted me to ask if anyone on HN is experiencing the same issue.

While it's possible that my interaction with Bing's AI bot triggered a security feature, it's worth noting that the sudden cessation of service occurred after I asked challenging questions. I'm curious if others have experienced similar issues, and if so, what their experiences have been like.

Other users experiencing the same behavior after asking challenging questions:

You might not think of it as a boot menu, but every uefi system I have ever used has a menu you can bring up by holding a key during boot that lets you choose which disk to boot from. In reality this menu has all the entries you set up in efibootmgr. You can also usually see this menu from the save and exit page of the setup/bios page. These entries are about as customizable as grub entries via efibootmgr.

Same here, I'm yet to meet someone with any sort of ambition that would want to work there. Usually the people working there either didn't find anything better or simply want a low-effort, stable job.

Politicians the same - most of them could dream of making the kind of money they're making as higher govermental officials with their skills, most of them are slimy opportunists that simply want live off taxpayer money.
Exceptions are not a form of gotos, they are both less powerful as they are structured and more powerful (as they are nonlocal). They desugar to continuations, but so does rust option type handling and ?. In fact they are pretty much equivalent.

I'm not terribly familiar with either language, but I don't see any particular difference between swift and rust error handling for example, swift will also mark fallible function calls with try, similarly to ? in rust.

For what is worth the author of the swift standard library believes that try is a mistake: as most functions can fail in practice it just becomes noise. It might be more useful to mark can't fail regions.

Bing's AI Chatbot Has Insulted People's Looks and Compared Them to Hitler
Ask HN: Tools for programmatically improving a big legacy code base?
Hello,

I work on a 6500+ file, 1-2 million line, 30 year old code base in C++. There are many problems with it, and we've been gradually ratcheting up the use of tools to improve code quality (creating automated testing tools, pr validation pipelines, etc.; I recently went through our biggest projects and set them to level 3 treat warnings as errors; there were a lot).

But I had a thought the other day to use Python to try to const everything that could be constified in our code base. The general idea was, write some code to const all basic types at declaration, then, again, using Python, try to incrementally build the project with MSVC/MSBuild, parsing the output, deconsting anything that was fails, and hopefully end up with relatively few hard to solve errors in this fashion.

I imagine this is going to be bigger than I expect, and I already expect it to be a big job. But I've been reticent to use some of the parsing tools available (like [pygccxml][0]). I have some experience with structured text processing so I imagine this is actually doable.

However, I figure there's _got_ to be something that already exists to do simple linting tasks like this. But my Google Fu fails me.

Does anyone know of any tools for simple code improvements like const-ing everything const-able? Autoformatting tools don't make code changes as far as I know, and what I'm specifically looking for is a code-improving tool.

If not, does anyone have any experience programmatically improving a code base, especially in C++? Any tips or suggestions?

Thank you

It's amazing how the "Java is slow" myth survives to this day.
You're approaching this from a scientific perspective. The other approach is political/sociological. Neither of you are wrong.

I get that it can be demoralizing, but I'd suggest it serves your cause better to be able to point to high-functioning cases as success stories to mitigate the stigma, lest the rest of the spectrum be dismissed as retarded beyond redemption (hence, eugenics).
