> in many cases there are many restaurants/stores in an airport

If you lift the peel off, many times they're still operated by the one contractor that has a contract for the whole airport. Even restaurants that typically don't franchise will still run operations under a franchise arrangement in airports. E.g. The Starbucks employees at an airport will be employed by HMS Host (a common airport food concession contractor).

Another captive element is alcohol. Many places only allow licensed establishments to sell it (ie: bars/restaurants), so no competition from the convenience store type concessions. And may be forbidden to consume alcohol outside licensed establishments so can't just buy a beer if convenience stores were legally allowed to sell it so they don't.

(Can recall good times at Amsterdam Schiphol where you could buy a beer for a not-too-insane markup from the convenience store and consume wherever, while in Philadelphia, you were paying like $10+ for one to consume wherever, ugh).

And yet, almost always, infiltrating large organisations like this for whatever purpose (e.g. state level actors, corporate espionage, whatever) involves multiple chains of vulnerability. The type of vulnerability that the OP reported is the initial entry door, and as such, extremely valuable.

Also, about “code reviews”: here’s a story from last year about how a massive refactoring of some webkit code in 2016 resurrected a massive exploit that was actually fixed in 2013, but went unnoticed. It was only discovered and patched in 2022, as it was being exploited in the wild by, among others, the NSO group.

Lounges have jacked up pricing as well. Used to be a $25 add-on to a ticket... well worth it when traveling internationally. Recently I've seen $49 or $59 for entry. If you're willing to drop that coin, you can eat pretty well at airport restaurants.

All new science starts with unsupported hypotheses. Going from "unsupported hypothesis" to "consensus established fact" often takes 10+ years. COVID and it's aftereffects are so new that the vast majority of claims are still somewhere in the hypothesis phase. Pretty much every idea about long COVID is still in this phase, and as sibling/cousin comments note it is an area of active research.

Science isn't static. It's contantly in evolution as people try to find justifaction for unsupported claims. Dismissing unsupported claims prima facie is fundementally incomaptible with the scientific method.
He's indicted, not convicted. "I'm a sucker and didn't realize what was going on" is absolutely a possible defense; I would assume that the DOJ will lead evidence to show that he knew what was going on and willingly participated, but that's why there's a trial.
Hence the “little success” part.
Post-Brexit there is no free movement. This is why Brexit happened. So they could do exactly this. This 'passport control failure' was the intent from the get-go.
This is usually the case, most of the restaurants are Franchised to the same company, so ultimately one company is dictating all of it.
It might not be “trying to trick”, but it certainly is “trying to trap”. The outcome is the same, though, which is that an attacker actively tries to exploit a misconception of other people for their own (concealed) intents and purposes.
> Why does a plastic-wrapped turkey sandwich cost $15

Because people keep paying for them.

The fault of price gouging lies firmly with consumers. If consumers are willing to tolerate ridiculous prices, then guess what, vendors are going to keep charging ever-higher ridiculous prices. Why in the world would they not?

If no one, or at least much fewer, people were willing to shell out $15 for a sandwich, then that sandwich would not cost $15.

If you're going to be hungry, bring food with you to the airport. If you don't want to deal with being hassled while going through security about it, then eat it before you go through security. It's very simple.

Sure there are always going to be exceptions--flight delays, you're running late, your kids' blood sugar is dipping, etc, but if you adhere to this very basic principle more often than not, sandwich prices will go down.

I think you are missing the point.

There is no "integrity" in photography outside of the photographer one. Images are and always have been fabrication. Choice of subject, framing, setting, careful curation, the photo is a medium of expression which is not that different from writing something.

The message Christopher Brown is conveying is very clear. It’s not that meaningfully different to create the point of view he wants to share using machines or using a camera.
I’d be surprised if that doesn’t do something qualitatively with the model. Very cool, curious to see what’s possible. Thanks.
There are reasons why this type of game is heavily regulated in parts of the world, and even and illegal to operate in some countries. It's just such a deeply problematic business model IMO.

I don't know if the state of California would be interested in antagonizing a business like Zynga and their likes, because presumably they contribute to the tax base, but I find it repulsive that such businesses are seemingly unregulated simply because they don't pay out cash.

One thing I love about France is that they have a pretty good supermarket-store ready-to-eat sandwich culture as the inexpensive on-the-go meal option. At a US 7-11, you never know if the sandwich might be a week old or not.

There is still a serial number printed on the box, and a batch number on the box AND heat spreader.

A part of the serial number (assembly test process order number) is also printed on the CPU package (not the box, but the actual die carrier). So, even if the counterfeiter made the effort to replace the heat spreader, you could still find out.

Edit: Talking about Intel CPUs obviously.

Space is not quantized, so yes, the electron has infinite possible locations. There are, however, places the electron cannot be, depending on its energy. See, the electron's energy is quantized, meaning it can only have a predetermined set of values (see atoms' electron shells). The energy determines the wave function and the wave function squared is the probability distribution for the electron's location. This wave function has roots, indicating where the electron cannot be.

Kern features were integrated in unexpected places. Like, for instance, I could run some command on my Solaris server and create a resource pool of processors and memory; and it was so integrated that this contract could be applied to individual network connections. I could allocate half a processor or some memory to, say, an oracle process for licensing reasons right within the smf, one command. Sure, I can do these things on modern Linux and bsd, and I make my living doing complex things with k8s these days, but it all seems like such a hacked together mess compared to what we had.
I really wonder which cog exposed the whole scheme, a whistleblower from

5) misreported earnings or high income tripped some flag at the irs level.

so many possibilities!
Agreed, I wasn't arguing that point.
> Despite the "port authority" rules on 'street pricing', the real reason is lack of competition.

The real reason is greed. Competitors can work together to fix prices and they usually do. The reason again is greed.

Competition lowering prices only works when the barrier of entry to the market is very low and it's possible for many actors to compete. For SaaS businesses, where competition can virtually scale infinitely, that's true. Not at all for airports, where competition can only be very limited due to material constraints.
I don't know about not listing prices (that seems shady), but surely you realize that the cost of the ingredients have very little bearing on the final price of the product? Unless you assume that running a 7-11 or any other store or restaurant that might sell food has zero overhead, with no rent, utilities, taxes, or employees to pay.

In a further note, profit has got to be one of the most misunderstood things in economics. Every endeavor of human commerce has to involve profit for at least one party, otherwise the transaction would not occur at all. If you can put together a sandwich for $1 in ingredients and, say, $4 in your time and labor, why would you sell it for less than $5 plus some profit? At exactly $5 you may as well not engage in this business at all, since you've effectively gained nothing.

FWIW most airports I’ve visited have a staff canteen that’s actually open to everyone, albeit hidden.

If you ask airport staff, they’ll know where it is.

There aren’t a ton of options there and it’s often in the basement but you can choose between a few options and get a decent meal (considering) without getting fleeced.

That’s where ground staff, baggage handlers, etc eat every work day.

Hi, author here. Sorry about the confusion - this blog post's intention was to give a more programming-language-themed introduction to the project (discussion on r/programminglanguages is here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammingLanguages/comments/12im9...). As such, it doesn't really talk very much about what you'd actually use this for - tracking computational experiments (for example). As for the part you highlighted, I was looking for a two-sentence summary that conveys the main features of the project... well, I guess I succeeded with the two-sentence part! :)

Let me try to unpack this in a hopefully saner format:

- the whole thing is based on memoization. You put a memoization decorator on all the functions whose results you want to persist/reuse, and you compose entire programs by calling such functions on the outputs of other functions. In between calls, you can also mix in data structure operations - so say a function returns a list, you can call another memoized function on just an element of this list.

- as such programs execute, some metadata is passed around that links together the inputs and outputs of each call, and the elements of each data structure. This dynamically builds a computational graph of the program behind the scenes.

- why would you need this graph? One reason is that there is a principled way to extract a SQL query from this graph that pattern-matches to all analogous computational graphs that have already been memoized. This gives you a flexible and natural interface to ask the queries you usually ask of your programs - "How do these outputs depend on these inputs across all the experiments of this kind?" - without writing extra code.

- since memoized results can go stale when you change your code, there is also a versioning system that tracks the dependencies that each memoized call accessed, and alerts you when a dependency changes. Tracking dependencies dynamically on a per-call basis, rather than statically on a per-function basis, gives you more opportunity to reuse computation automatically - for example, a function can have two branches that depend on different dependencies. If only one of the dependencies changes, you won't recompute the calls that used the other dependency. The "content-versioned" part refers to how the system recognizes which version a function is at: by looking at its code (content), instead of by you explicitly providing it with some arbitrary version name/number. This means that e.g. you can "go back in time" w.r.t a given function(s) by restoring the old code, and the storage will recognize that it's back in this world.

I hope that helps clarify things, and thanks a lot for bringing this up.

> FWIW most airports I’ve visited have a staff canteen that’s actually open to everyone, albeit hidden.

Could you please list which airports you've been to have this, and where it is located in them?

It's not that I doubt airports have staff canteens, it's more that I have trouble believing anyone can just waltz into them. And a casual web search brings up only results about one airport actually having one open to the public.

Show HN: Pitchleague.ai – Perfect Your Pitch Deck
Hey HN,

We're excited to share that we've already assisted over 800 founders in refining their pitch decks with our recently launched Pitch League AI.

Created during a one-day hackathon, our tool harnesses the power of GPT-4 to help founders iterate and enhance their pitch decks. We've observed founders uploading their decks multiple times and making improvements based on the AI-generated feedback.

Our mission is to support as many founders as possible in raising funds for their startups, starting with perfecting their pitch decks. While Pitch League AI is still a work in progress, users have found it genuinely helpful thus far.

The platform extracts text from PDFs and employs GPT-4 prompts to evaluate and ensure the completeness of pitch decks across various categories, including deck length, grammar & spelling, and the inclusion of vital information (e.g., problem, solution, team, etc.).

We'd love to hear your thoughts and suggestions on how we can enhance Pitch League AI and any additional features you believe would be valuable.

Looking forward to your feedback!
Cheers.

OS developers (especially Linux developers) cannot innovate and use outdated security model from 80s where users are isolated from each other but today most computers have a single user and it makes little sense. Today you need to isolate program from a program, and prevent them from fingerprinting user's device (for example, in Linux any app can read MAC addresses, hardware serial numbers, list of nearby WiFi points and nobody cares about that).

The two lists you found never say what "Extra virgin olive oil" they list, where it came from, and how they knew it was not adulterated. They don't say where the numbers in their tables originally come from, either (they list secondary sources, like food textbooks and wikipedia) [1].

Surely you can see that if "EVOO" is commonly adulterated with lower-quality olive oils, then the measurements of its smoke point are not going to be representative?
>> If you disagree then the burden of proof is on you.

I'm sorry but why is there a "burden of proof" on anyone here? I just remarked that I've never seen olive oil burn while cooking. How exactly could I "prove" that?

I hope you are not trying to invite yourself over for dinner :|

_______________

[1] What's more, the second source seems really confused about the difference between extra-virgin and refined olive oils:

You will note that refining oils tends to increase the smoke point as impurities and free fatty acids are removed. Hence refined ‘extra light’ olive oil has a higher smoke point than extra virgin olive oil. The table shows that high quality extra virgin olive oil has a higher smoke point than refined – due to the presence of anti-oxidants and low free fatty acid levels. Another selling point for high quality extra virgin olive oils.

https://savantes.org/news-and-articles/cooking-and-using-oli...

So which one is it? Is it "refined 'extra light' olive oil [has] a higher smoke point than extra virgin olive oil" or is it "high quality extra virgin olive oil has a higher smoke point than refined"?

And? If someone finds a way to bypass a privacy control of a product they have broken the CFAA. If you report this bug in a bug bounty you could be charged for doing something illegal but companies choose to not to in hopes they can create an invective structure where security issues can be discovered before they are abused.
I agree that shiny new things are often traps, which then normalize bad developments across an industry. But I also think a lot of the privacy/autonomy shift was really a shift to a wider gamut of non-technical people using technology, and would have happened regardless of the new form factor. Also the change wasn't led by mobile, but rather it was web 2.0 that really kicked off the trend of centrally controlled software.

But they can also be devious.

Because they aren’t under the same selective pressure as normal chromosomes, the number of ecDNA molecules can be highly variable between daughter cells. This is one of the potential resistance mechanisms for a tumor. If you have a drug that targets a gene in the ecDNA, the tumor could only keep clones with a small number of ecDNAs during treatment. Then after the drug has cleared, the number of ecDNAs can then rise again.

When you lose the default 2 copy state, natural selection can follow non-Mendelian patterns.
