I wondered about that too then I realized what an anodeless battery would really, literally mean: if you charge it, you pump electrons into it, so it gets somewhat electrically negative, and if you discharge it, you let the electrons flow out of it. To be pedantic, this is not really anodeless, this would be just a battery having only one electric contact switching roles between a cathode and an anode.

Then I started to wonder: what if this really could be done? I am afraid not, because you need two contacts to create a potential difference, don't you?

Yeah everything is geared towards the aristocracy - like VAT and Income Tax are insanely high meanwhile there is often no land value tax, property tax, inheritance tax, wealth tax or gift tax at all.

And even capital gains are taxed far less than income.

I think it's more that the US was made up of immigrants so it got to start anew without a massive established aristocracy and monarchies.
We're commenting on an article about how the NYPD aren't accountable and aren't even following NYC laws. It is well-known that they don't follow the law in general.

There's very little power for the citizens to actually do anything. The NYPD holds tremendous political power, and wields it aggressively. They even _publicly threatened_ the children of the previous mayor.
Really appreciate the reply! Everything you said makes sense. It does feel like it would be really hard to beat BigQuery at this kind of task. The main query we run is just comparing two tables geometry where one is a polygon/multipolygon column and the other is a column of points. We ask, are any of these points in any of these polygons? So it's N x M comparisons, pretty much worst case scenario and there's no aggregation. I've had a hell of time trying to optimize PG for just running this one query. On the bright side, I've gotten to learn about and try a bunch of different databases now though :)

This is a bad reading of the case. The ruling on appeal was that the police in that case had no special duty to that particular person, but still had a duty to the public at large.

Specifically, "the duty to provide public services is owed to the public at large, and, absent a special relationship between the police and an individual, no specific legal duty exists."[0]

People like to extrapolate from that, saying that if no specific legal duty exists toward individual 1, and no specific legal duty exists toward individual 2, and so on, then ultimately, no specific legal duty exists toward any individuals at all, but again, the first part of that sentence restates that there is a duty to provide services to the public.

I mean, look, the story of the crime itself is horrifying, but if the ruling had gone the other way, the concern was that cops would essentially be held to a standard of perfection, and any cop who ever didn't investigate any crime aggressively enough would be liable in court for their lack of aggressiveness.

I think it's a bad ruling, but it doesn't say what people claim it does, and it also doesn't seem to apply particularly strongly outside of the District of Columbia.

> The designers should be working with the developers to implement their vision

I agree with the importance of this. I guess my gripe is with the fact that at the end of the day, the burden of formalizing anything that gets put on the web is on the shoulders of developers, even in the case of expressing design language, as this usually isn’t discernibly structured until the developer starts typing out code.
FWIW he’s been making these claims well before the current AI hype cycle hit.

That is not the argument! In this thread you’re repeatedly making the same mistake, assuming every reply has an implicit bias towards saying humans are inherently better. For the most part, that is not what you’re being told.

The geocode API converts "addresses or Place IDs to latitude/longitude coordinates and vice-versa". The results aren't going to change them anytime soon so cache them as static resources (e.g. latlong columns in your DB).

Apex Legends uses Epic Anti-Cheat ("EAC"). Valve collaborated with Epic to get EAC functional in Wine back in September[1]. This Wine support is an opt-in flag at build-time, so many games using EAC still remain incompatible (e.g.: Fortnite). Apex players asked for EAC-on-Wine to be enabled and the developers obliged by checking the checkbox.

The reasons for why this is opt-in only are not public knowledge, but I wouldn't be surprised if this was some sort of special reduced-security mode. The APIs available to EAC-on-Wine are more-or-less a strict subset of those available to EAC-on-Windows, after all. FWIW: I don't think any Wine-exclusive exploits have ever been found in the wild.

When I worked in NYC (mid 2010s) we were on the top floor of our building and one day a service guy came through needing access to the roof from our suite.

Turns out he was there to update some cameras on the roof that pointed out to Union Square. I talked to him for a while, and while he wouldn't specifically say who owned them, he did say "they could read a business card from 300 yards away."

This was probably before there was much facial recognition going on, but it stuck with me that we were only one of many buildings with these set ups. I always heard about London being over-surveilled, I guess the NYPD did a much better job of keeping quiet about it.
If it is a right, what if I don't want to share it with a government? Can I?
It mentions lasting for 200-1200 cycles, which (besides a suspiciously large range compared to Li-ion's 500-1000 cycles) is not better on all mentioned metrics.

Why would you have a lawyer pay hush money? The concealment of the payment (having Cohen pay from his company, then reimbursing him as part of a larger payment) is the crime, not the payment.

And yes, I think all politicians should be gone after for breaking any campaign-finance-related law.

The legal ways to use money have so many loopholes (wink-nudge a PAC to pay off Stormy Daniels) that we shouldn't compromise an inch on what few restrictions we do have on the books.

This is a campaign finance violation. If we're not going to hold politicians beholden to those laws, then where is the line?
I have a book club at work where we often read programming / business related books. We're currently reading 'The Programmer's Brain' (which I highly recommend) and thus far the principal argument in the book has been to work on the building blocks / foundation of a language to improve as a developer. I think part of that is by understanding the basics, you will be better able to tackle the difficult things when the time comes.

It's interesting to see the somewhat conflicting suggestions of this book and the argument that something like ChatGPT / AI can be leveraged to solve the simple problems. We kind of discussed it a bit in the book club. For example, few programmers today worry about assembly / very low level solutions...it's just kind of back of mind / expected to work. I wonder if that will be true for programmers in the future, in relation to the foundation of a particular language. And if so, will the increased usage of AI be a positive or negative thing for the workers in the industry.?

From what I can tell, management / C-Suite seems to be pretty open to adoption and it's the developers that seem to be a bit more reluctant. Maybe that reluctance is coming from a place of concern about self preservation or maybe it's a valid concern about things like AI hiding / solving some of the fundamentals that allow one to learn the foundations of something...foundational knowledge that might make the more useful for solving the more complex problems.

I haven't really used AI...so maybe this observation is coming from a place of ignorance. It'll be interesting to see how things work out.

Over time I've come to take this a step further. I feel people reach for a graph database way too early. Most use cases that most people have will work fine in a standard relational setup. And that brings with it the benefits of using technologies like Postgres that have stood the test of time. So I treat it as I do any performance consideration: first demonstrate that you actually need to go down the path less traveled, don't just assume you need to do so.
Politicians of bigger metropolitan areas tend to learn quickly that cops are a fairly important power center ( usually come a bigger unrest ). For example, in Chicago, both Lightfoot and her predecessor faced those issues.

You have to understand. The relationship is not nearly as straightforward as you make it out to be.

What language are you programming in?
C++ was designed in the late '70s-early 80's and reached peak popularity in the mid-to-late '90s. JavaScript appeared in the mid-'90s and didn't see broad adoption until about the '10s. I would say that the norm is for peak adoption to happen at around the 10-15 year mark of original release. Languages that get adopted faster than 7 years are unusual, and it indicates that they came out at highly opportune times to address specific needs. I'm thinking in particular of Java and Rust, for example, which both reached critical masses of adoption very quickly.
It always saddens me to see videos like that.

Yes, engaging in terrorism would be too much for most signers in the list, but the point is more that there is a wide gap between what they're saying and what they're doing. You make another good point that at the very least, they should be putting their money where they mouth is.

Anthropic seem to be competing against OpenAI? And getting funds from Google? So they would probably benefit economically from delaying development, since they are currently behind. Personally I think it's more important to look at what people are doing, than just listening to what they say, as there is a strong tendency to posturing.
Wildlife has thrived due to a lack of humans, not because radiation isn't dangerous. There are mutations abound in animals from the CEZ.

but if Trump paid directly himself, it wouldn't violate campaign finance laws?

That's my (uneducated) understanding, but the speculation is that he didn't pay it himself because then he couldn't deny (to friends/family/fans/donors/voters) that he knew her.
I'm glad you agree that knowing someone's name, age, and address doesn't prove their trustworthiness, because I don't want trust decisions to be dependent on threats of state-backed violence or mob vigilantism.

It is possible to build up trust in an identity based on how long that identity has been used, and the "transitivity of trust" principle. So you wouldn't trust someone because "John sounds like a trustworthy name", and instead you'd look at how long the author's key had been associated with the library, and whether their key had previously been endorsed on other people's projects (for example having their PRs reviewed and accepted).

Admittedly this introduces a new danger that the social graphs start to become very dangerous honeypots of metadata, especially if we start letting employers vouch for their employees, but the ultimate goal here should be to use something like Verifiable Credentials with zero knowledge proofs, which will allow very strong probabilistic arguments to be made about whether an author (and all the code reviewers) have suddenly gone rogue and decided to burn their hard-earned reputations.

You work with Julia? Nice! I actually use Julia to generate my test cases:

for value in values
y_acb = besseli(CC(1), CC(value))
real64 = convert(Float64, real(y_acb))
im64 = convert(Float64, real(y_acb))
println("(", value, ", ", real64, "),")
end
Verifying by asking? ..

I understand it's important, but I hate bureaucratic "solutions" that are technically correct but don't actually fix the issue.
He has a chance to voluntarily surrender, get processed and go home immediately. Much unlike many suspects/defendants, actually. He will get his charges read.

Even if this results in a prison sentence, that prison sentence wouldn't be served in prison, more likely he'll get some home detention, because of the practicalities of secret service protection and what not. Maybe they restrict his TV access and tee times.

So yes, Trump gets treated extremely unfairly in the justice system.

Quite frankly we lost. We were beaten and tear gassed and arrested and called rioters & looters on the news. Public figures called for more violence against us in major mainstream liberal publications. Many of us are still in jail with six figure bails, some of us are facing terrorism charges.

The entire system came down hard on those protests, from nearly every angle. The democrats refused to endorse or support the goal, and the risks & costs of continuing or escalating were too high. So it stopped, failed.

In the beginning of GDPR I remember me sitting in annoying meetings with lawyers who essentially became Product Owners and designers while I still thought the GDPR-Framework makes sense in itself and might help in practice.

But boy was I wrong. The people criticizing GDPR were right: Tech giants were able to cope better with the regulations while smaller domestic companies were put under an additional burden of excessive bureaucracy. And from what I perceive, there's now cookie banners everywhere while my personal data is still going into opaque silos.

Culpability and the exact crime actually depends a LOT on your mental state and what intent you supposedly had. Let's start with some basic cases and get weirder:

* Intent to kill or harm someone - murder (with degree being dependent on how much pre-meditation you had)

* Intent to pull the trigger, but not to kill or hurt anyone - manslaughter

* No intent to pull the trigger (eg accidental discharge - maybe the trigger pull on the gun is very light and you put a little too much pressure on it) - possibly manslaughter on recklessness grounds if you knew there were people around or the person was there, but also maybe a lower crime (or not a crime at all) if you were being careful with the gun and got unlucky about where it was pointing when it discharged

* Not mentally competent to understand that you might be hurting someone or that hurting someone is wrong - not guilty because of insanity

* Intent to kill the person in self-defense and the person is intending to kill or harm you - not guilty of any crime due to self defense (a murder, but not a crime)

* Intent to kill someone else who is attacking you in self-defense, but you missed - also self defense (intent follows the bullet)

There are probably 10+ more other major scenarios to cover here with different outcomes. This is partly why when someone kills someone else with a gun, the prosecution tries to hit them with murder, manslaughter, and reckless handling of a deadly weapon. They don't know which one will stick, but they can be pretty sure that a jury will find one kind of intent.
