a blast from the hackernews past, when obscure hacker's personal home pages made it to the front page. timonoko is a hacker's hacker, but then it's kind of hard to figure that out without attentively going over his website, something there's no motivation to do without some kind of pitch.
Note that the law intentionally has a backdoor that allows to exclude any digital platform from having to bargain with media outlets by decision of Governor [1]:

> The Commission must make an exemption order in relation to a digital news intermediary if ... the following conditions are met:

> ...

> (b) any condition set out in regulations made by the Governor in Council.

So instead of treating every digital platform equally and clearly writing the rules they have reserved an option to make arbitrary exemptions. I wonder, who will get an exemption? Canadian search engine? Or maybe a company managed by a friend of the Governor?

The definition of "eligible news business" (who is supposed to receive money) is also written unclearly, for example in article 27:

> 27 (1) At the request of a news business, the Commission must, by order, designate the business as eligible if it ...

> ...

> produces news content that is not primarily focused on a particular topic such as industry-specific news, sports, recreation, arts, lifestyle or entertainment, and

This rule allows to exclude anyone, because you can always say that this newspaper is too focused on politics, that one is too focused on the war etc.

WHATWG's procedural HTML parsing spec sucks big time indeed. Ian Hickson, as the original author, once derived it from how SGML parses HTML, with empty elements and inferring omitted end-tags when encountering block-level markup within span-level markup and all, modulo the commenting oddities introduced to stop browsers rendering CSS and JS as content, and also handling attribute short forms. Once precisely capturing SGML, the spec wasn't updated consistently as new elements were introduced, precisely because of its presentation as explicit redundant enumeration of elements forcing certain others to close or open seemingly at random. I have absolutely no idea how one can be motivated to implement HTML parsing from WHATWG's description, or how one can seriously see it as an improvement over SGML.

3 years ago I went to a dentist who told me it looked like a cavity was forming on the bottom row near the back.

He said he was going to drill it out and fill it.

I told him I would schedule another appointment later to get this done….

Fast forward to three weeks ago I go to new dentist… I am 45 and have no cavities .. (never had one in my life am lucky :)

So dentist three years ago was prepared to drill a hole into my tooth and fill it with metal because it “looked like a cavity may be forming”

My favorite way to describe the issues with FHIR is semantic vs syntactical interoperability.

Using FHIR means syntactically interoperability. Same structure, uses json, things generally in the same place.

Semantic interoperability means that the 2 systems can understand each other… just using FHIR is NOT enough for this. Different value sets and ways of representing the same information mean that 2 systems view of the same data may be very different.

I liken this to when I walked into a bar in a small town in Northern Ireland. I was speaking English, the bartender was speaking English, but we could not understand each other. We eventually figured things out but it was TOUGH to communicate even though we were ostensibly speaking the same language.

This is what FHIR apis from 2 different vendors are like. Same “language” remarkably different dialects

It’s certainly vibe based, most executive decision making to degree is. However, it’s their prerogative to manage that way. Employers have always had control over where the work is performed. As employees we can choose to not work there if the location of the work doesn’t meet our needs.

More than once in my career I have worked for companies that have moved office locations. In all the cases I certainly wasn’t consulted ahead of time or given a vote. To my knowledge, no one beyond the executive leadership had a vote in the location. I am not sure why RTO vs WFH is any different.

It's phrased accurately if confusingly. The bigger and un-fixable problem is that people are more apt to believe that a computer has calculated the correct answer when by its very nature popping oft bad images into a facial recognition search is almost always going to produce results even if most are fake and the real ID may not even be among the results.

Without additional leads police are strongly incentivized to pick one of the results and run with it and in many cases with enough data you have enough to get a plea or conviction even if they didn't do it especially if the person so selected was in the database in the first place because they have a record.

Convictions/pleas are obtained all the time with similar levels of proof.

This is fundamentally the same problem as dragnet searches of phone GPS to see who was in a space in a range of time. It could be a valuable investigative tool but its also a great way to "solve" a crime by finding someone to pin it on.

On Chinese food:

Historically the folks who settled in San Francisco came from different areas than those who settled in New York, so the food is different. However, a friend from LA pointed out that there just isn't as much of a restaurant culture in San Francisco as there is in LA. A mediocre Taiwanese restaurant in LA wouldn't survive, but nobody would bat an eye up here because the people that really care are more inclined to cook at home. It's not just Chinese food, take a look at Mexican food here versus LA or Texas (even Bourdain complained about this). As far as the author's list goes, I was pretty underwhelmed with Z&Y. It's got a fair bit of hype but didn't deliver.

In any case, for a touch of pedantry: there are three Koi Palace locations, all on the peninsula. Equator is from Marin, but I wouldn't get so hung up on being local. Philz is fine, and so is Peets.

You have to really ration your ability usage (rely on consumables for healing etc), somewhat annoyingly you have no real way of knowing how far through the no-rest zones you are (could be 4 or 5 fights in a row you need to get through or only 1 or 2). I'd often end these zones with big spells still in reserve cleric in particular with turn undead would have helped immensely in one area but I thought there would be another fight still to come so I saved it.

Being made with streamlit (and by extension python) makes me more open to using this.
To add to the correct IntelliJ answer: VSCode, on the other hand, does not allow for multiple language services or servers to handle the same file at the same time. Instead, any language support (always by means of extension, either built-in or external) has to individually add support for embedded languages, either using language services or request forwarding [1]. For example, the built-in HTML plugin includes JS support inside <script/> tags by simply spinning up its own tsserver [2].

This seems to have been a design decision from the very start, but I have a hard time understanding why. It seems like a conceptual mistake to me. It also eats up system resources like crazy, but that's a lost cause anyway. Instead of harnessing the capabilities of existing implementations, every "wrapper" kind of language needs to build its own solution, which leads to these solutions often not being great. For example, said HTML/JS solution has issues with external dependencies [3]. Or, I've been trying to enable support for CoffeeScript or Elm inside Vue Single File Component files, but I couldn't so far, even though I'm the author of the CoffeeScript extension. [4][5]

Any source file always has exactly one language type assigned to it (possibly auto-detected), so no, dynamically "switching" is not possible without manually changing it for the entire file. For things like SQL inside PHP, Jetbrains products really are superior.

I always took water for granted. In my country where I grew up, we had water available to us in the sink 24/7, 365.

Pure, clean. Drinkable.

As I am now traveling the world, I am experiencing places where water is not to be taken for granted. But only in mild ways. Not in actual life-or-death ways. That happens in countries I have not yet visited.

It’s weird. Most of my time at work I deal with pretty mundane things. And if I am thirsty, water is always available.

Water simulations are extra interesting to me now, because I am realising that in the future maybe I can help bring water to places where people are struggling because of unreliable access to water.

I think it would be very nice to be able to help other people on that way.
Not at all! It would surprise me if someone had gone without food and shelter and then insisted that self-actualization was more important to them when they were cold and hungry.
I'm not sure if it is meaningful to divert the topic to an analogy that is never precise. But I think we always rerun the same code (equivalent to the same procedure in the papers) in the CI or your workstation to debug. Replicating the result of the program doesn't mean that one would have to rewrite the code, as in replicating the result of a computer vision paper may only include code review and running the code from the paper.

> There's never been a question about efficacy of masks.

Absolutely wrong. There is no evidence that the typical masks worn prevent any spread. There is some evidence that N95s prevent spread, but most people don't wear those.

If you're going to wear a mask, do it right - you need at least a real N95 (head straps, not ear straps). The GVS respirator is more comfortable, better fitting, and less breathing resistance than a disposable N95.

Well, I don't have all the answers for every industry, but the broad strokes as what I said. Utility tokens really only work when you need services of other people in a network, often requested and delivered over a network. They aren't really as useful for software that you can run locally on your computer. So, for example, hosting RedHat software on an Amazon instance, RedHat can work with Amazon to make sure it enforces licensing fees. If Amazon doesn't then RedHat can, theoretically, sue the company or pull its licensing for any further instances, hurting both companies.

But RedHat could launch a new product line centering around servers running their machines, "commoditizing their complements", and doing jobs. Kind of like Adobe turned to SaaS instead of software running on your computer. Or how wordpress.com makes the bulk of the money for Automattic instead of self-hosted Wordpress. They'd have to start managing infrastructure, basically, or partner with Amazon as they already do.

I guess my overall point is that more software should be funded in the beginning using utility tokens, so they never get a big shareholder class and thus never have to go IPO to generate a return. Thus they never have to impress investors on Wall Street earnings calls, by how many rents they've extracted from their ecosystem via greater enshittification.

Without comparing to more common forms of ID, I don't see how this data proves much at all.

Furthermore, with a large black population like Baltimore, if they mostly ran the software on black people, then yeah the false IDs will also be mostly black people.

>US is still winning the talent war

Hard to say, PRC generating ~5M STEM per year which is multiple times more than US can generate via domestic education and brain drain. That's the skilled human capita gap where US is losing hard, PRC adding conservatively more than 5x more STEM talent per year, set to pass US total STEM workforce of 35M within next few years (PRC STEM @ ~20M as of 2020), and medium term (2050) PRC on trend have 50-100M STEM. It's not so much US decline as PRC ascend and relative gap massively swinging in PRC favour well past 2050s. Now factor in indigenous PRC academic and S&T industries have increasingly more opportunties retaining more and more tier1 PRC talent, the fact that best PRC talent don't flood into west anymore - this isn't the 00s where PRC best was sent abroad as state policy or natural outflow due to lack of domestic opportunities. Even international students are now mostly B tier talents that couldn't hack it in PRC gaokao but had wealthy enough families to send them abroad. TLDR US can't compete on generating talent vs PRC massive population base effect + human capital production via academic reforms coming to fruition, and US brain drain of PRC talent (itself reducing due to geopolitics as mentioned in this article) can no longer meaningfully inhibit PRC talent pipeline.

What's taught in undergrad economics courses is incorrect. Fractional reserve banking doesn't really exist anymore. Banks don't lend out the deposits they recieve, they create new ones 'out of thin air'.

Arguably the most important constraint on a bank's ability to create new loans (and hence new deposits) is its core tier one capital ratio: that is, its total liabilities divided by its shareholders' equity.
