It's a bug filed against RHEL 7 originally, by someone working at Red Hat, who suggested that we add the qemu disable-io feature to libvirt. There was no customer case behind either the original RHEL 7 bug nor this cloned RHEL 8 bug, so we simply didn't think it was important to implement this, and 5 years after the original bug was filed, with no customer coming along nor anyone having done the work upstream, the bug was auto-closed.

However if someone came along and did the work upstream to fix it, I'm sure that would be accepted.

Or if a customer turned up who wanted this, that would also be implemented.
I'm always surprised when people leave comments like these, based on nothing but N=1 anecdata. You don't have any authority to say something like "this is not true" with regards to the whole of the American healthcare experience. Compared to my own personal experience, yours was uncommonly-good. Wait times for specialists for my SO's heart condition are routinely several months out.
Motorcycles are kinda grandfathered in at this point. If they were invented today they would never be allowed on the road.

I would suggest 'not'.
Islam really solved the problem here. It strongly encourages (to the point it happens to be a tradition) marriage after puberty is reached, while disencouraging divorces. The newly-married spouses generally stay in one of their parent's houses until the husband has a job and and able to provide for her wife. The wife and husband essentially grow together, their characters form simultaneously, reflecting each other not really unlike a sister and brother.

Islam also allows the husband to divorce as per his will but doesn't allow it for the wife, the wife needs to go to a judge and show evidence of unagreement (unwillingness of her husband to treat her reasonably well) between the spouses. If women were allowed to divorce willy-nilly, as they are generally emotionally less stable, they would lead to divorces in a rough patch of life which are regretted soon after, just like it is usually seen in the modern society. The husband has 3 rights to divorce, when he uses one of them, it's a reversable divorce. If all 3 of them are used the husband can't remarry his wife until the wife marries and divorces another man. All these together successfully lead to people not divorcing unless it's really necessary.

One can look up SWB (subjective wellbeing) rates of women and men in non-muslim and traditional muslim countries.

My son had cavities at 3, likely resulting from a lack of minerals and breastfeeding until 3.

UK NHS diagnosis was to pull 4 front top teeth out.
I asked a relative (a doctor working in a public hospital but not a dentist) who advised to absolutely don't do that without even seeing him in person (COVID lockdown BS).

A local private dentist agreed and wanted 5k to fix his teeth (remove cavities, put fillings under general anesthetics).

In the end we went to Russia and got it done for 1k.

That's public healthcare for you!

His teeth have been fine for years, not long until he loses them naturally.
Looks like coordinates are inverted on my iPad (landscape mode). The water is falling to the higher part of the screen.
I'm certainly not advocating for a single point of failure, but rather a monetized, competitive space that competes on user experience. More akin to music streaming than movie streaming.

I think Usenet and forum numbers probably pale in comparison to Reddit type platforms. Centralization is easier for mass appeal
What about buying the default search from Apple? Maybe I'm remembering it wrong but I seem to recall they pay a lot of money for that.
Respect isn’t the issue, having the proper finding to offer a high quality service is.
So on the one hand you have people saying “I prefer it.”

On the other hand you have people saying “in office is more productive.”

Note how it only makes sense to ask one of those parties for data to substantiate their position.
> How would this work for search engines?

There is a way. If we start treating Internet search as commodity/public utility, we can use shared municipal fiber analogy. One public website can route requests to multiple participating search providers, ensuring that the searches are evenly distributed.

Of course, it's not a good idea for a lot of reasons. Starting as extending government surveillance, through leaving consumers with limited choices (if different providers' result quality is significantly different, which it probably is), and all the way down to having to decide what qualifies as a search engine.

It's best to look at the root of the issue. I don't think most people are upset that Google is the most popular search engine out there. It's the other practices that make people wary or outright unhappy. Google is very multi-faceted, so government forcing company split (e.g. make Google Search, Gmail, Chrome, Android etc. entirely separate entities), or disallowing of some business practices (such as making Chrome cater to Google Analytics needs) might be beneficial.
But those 179 outages weren't "the grid" or "not enough power". We are the single largest state in the continental US. You can fit Britain into Texas 3x over. That's a LOT of power lines! Most of which are not in cities.

Of course we are going to have power outages that are localized!
Also in Europe and most doctors just want to get you out of the office. I've met only a few doctors who actually care and will work with you to figure out the issue. The equivalent in software engineering would be waiting for my client to tell me what line to change in what file.

To be fair, doctors are usually overworked and on a human level I understand that the system is a bit broken, but it's still infuriating when it's your health that is suffering.

You're mad, we get it. But you're trying too hard to be right.
The very first kit I remember was housed in a metal project box about the size of a large dictionary. This was the early 80's or possibly the late 70's. I was very young at the time, but I still remember it fairly well.

The heavy box was open on the bottom, and contained a homemade DC power supply (transformer, voltage rectifier, etc) to power the "project area" on top of the box. The project area contained 3 different-sized breadboards, maybe two dozen red and green LED's, some sort of buzzer, a couple of toggle switches, and a push-button switch.

Dad supplied me with some wire (with stripped ends). I could place one end of the wire into a slot on the breadboard, and connect it to another location, and then manipulate the switches/buttons to either light up an LED or cause the buzzer to buzz...or both. This may sound simple and boring, but to me it was pretty awesome.

Years later, when I was in middle school, I made a homemade project that would deliver a harmless, but painful electric shock to my friends fingertips. It was nothing more than a transformer, a push-button switch, and a battery, mounted in a small box. On top of the box were two square metal pads that I had cut from an old Crisco can. My victim would place their index and middle fingers onto the two metal pads while I pressed and released the switch.
> Perhaps they do exactly the same as they did to that woman in any case..

It's arguable than in most instances they don't overreact and throw pregnant women into jail for half a day. In a country of 330,000,000 people, you would expect to see stories like this all day, every day, if it were even a little bit routine. The fact that this is national news gives some idea how out of the ordinary it is.
Highly doubt that. I’d imagine people that don’t wear belts are much riskier drivers and have accidents with higher fatality rates. Hold everything constant and bodies flying into each other aren’t needle movers.

The M2 Ultra will not be superseded within a few months. That's not how this works. The M3 Ultra will probably be ready some time mid next year.

The M1 was released November 2020; M1 Pro/Max October 2021; M1 Ultra March 2022.

The M2 was released June 2022; M2 Pro/Max January 2023; M2 Ultra June 2023.

If you need an M2 Ultra, your needs aren't gonna be met by the base M3.

Yeah well it's a massive faff even when it goes perfectly, which it very often doesn't.

For example just this week I was building a project that uses pkg-config to find GMP. I use RHEL 8. It has GMP but guess what? It doesn't install a pkg-config file.

Compare that to `cargo add foo` or `flutter add foo` or `npm install --save foo`.

Novels have to justify themselves to be worth the read. Articles of this length would definitely do with a short comment or summary made by someone else to assess whether there's a point to reading them. There's a lot of journalists who are wannabe novelists and seem to suck at both skills.

Who decides which expert to listen to? Because we have experts on both sides of this issue.

> Not to mention, asteroid hunting will be a lot more effective from the moon anyway, since it has high visibility due to a lack of atmosphere and a low gravity which makes escaping the orbit a lot easier.

This is just futurism-level techno babble used to justify imposing YOUR desires onto the population by making your goal a mandatory step before we get to do what the majority of the population actually wants. The reality is that building anti-asteroid orbital defence is cheaper, faster, more versatile, and plain easier than building a base on the moon.

Show HN: Infini3x3 – a simple tile moving game
Hi HN!

I've had this simple game idea in mind for many years and started developing it multiple times but never finished it. After seeing the "Finish your projects" article, which was posted here recently, I decided to give it another try and finish it this time. So here it is, feedback appreciated! :)

Thanks,

Erwin

PS: I considered adding a tutorial but let's see if you can figure it out on your own ;) if not, here's how it works:

- connected blocks of 2 or more tiles (same color) can be moved via drag-and-drop to the gameboard's border, where they disappear

- while dragging a block, all other tiles remain static and function as obstructions so you can only move some blocks and only in some directions

- after removing a block, the board is refilled
Dylan.

But you said popular, so Javascript then. Seriously, JS is not what I'd consider a very good Lisp, but I think it is one because it allows you to build real lexical closures.

Edit: Haskell is a sort of a lisp too, and it's the only one IMHO that got rid of the parens in an intelligent way. Haskell lets you use either prefix or infix notation, and it works mostly without parentheses. Plus you can use the '$' character as a clever hack to remove parens where they would otherwise be needed. But...the price you pay for this is laziness and automatic currying, which most Lisps don't do.

This is very well written and gripping even.

I don’t see the negatives other commenters are pointing out. Yes she’s talking about her perceptions born from her clients and years worked. That’s an absolute right for all of us, right? To simply relate the experiences we’ve had.

She’s definitely seen a side of humanity that, while seen by many, doesn’t quite often get public visibility-sunlight. And lo and behold, it’s a kind of grungy crudeness-but still human and shared.

Personally, I’ve worked in retail and in corporate in major casinos. People will assume they’re better than you and treat you as something like a servant simply because you’re the one taking their money for a thing. Or just because you “work here” as was the case in both retail and casino. That dynamic even exists in organizations between divisions and teams within the same organization. Ask yourself how that would change in the authors situation?

I don’t have a thesis. May this serve as a good reminder to treat all people with decency and an amount of respect if not kindness. There’s exactly one right way to treat a person, as a person-an end unto his/it/herself.

> The only way though the mine field is to take personal ownership over your Healthcare

Shortly after graduating from university, when I no longer had access to student health, I started hunting for a regular family physician. The guy I found... my first "let's get to know each other/annual physical" kind of appointment he said "Look, I don't know if you noticed but there are a lot of people out in the waiting room. My staff here is great, but things happen. Maybe they call you with test results and you miss the voicemail. Maybe the lab forgets to send the results. Maybe the fax from the lab gets stuck to another piece of paper. We're all human here, and I try really hard to treat each one of my patients as a real human and not just a list of symptoms on a page. If I'm going to be your doctor, there's only one thing I ask: be your own advocate. If you're expecting to hear back from us and you don't, or if you feel like we've missed something, or you have questions, or... anything really, please don't hesitate to follow up. I promise I'm going to do my best to look after your health, but you care about it more than anyone else in the world. Does that work for you?"

He was, by far, the best damned doctor I've ever had. And then, apparently, one day he had a serious family emergency back home and vanished, never to return :(.
Are we both talking about a text messaging app that can send text messages to any device that supports the universal SMS standard?

That's not blocking.

A good example of blocking is not allowing any developers on a competing smart phone platform to write an app that allows users to access your monopoly internet video platform.

I’m on Mastodon now and have used the opportunity to switch to having two accounts, on separate instances. Once for everything local, climate change or politics, and one just for nerdy stuff, to disconnect from the real world.

Very happy. Discoverability on Mastodon isn’t as good and there are much fewer people but I’ve found a nice little community and that’s all I want.
The more important but is which workers.

Data entry is not exactly the people who would be courted by work from home policies. And it's likely that percentage loss would easily made up by lowered infrastructure cost.

The quality of telephone services took of and the prices plummeted here in Norway when the phone monopoly was broken around 1998.

I was there and remember going from expensive landlines with complicated pricing structures all the way to cell phone plans so cheap every kid has one.

IMO no way it would have happened with the monopoly we had in the nineties.

I also suspect that MSG is migraine trigger for me. I have been noticing headaches cause by other migraine trigger foods. I realized after having sauce with MSG immediately caused headache but another sauce without MSG and same dish didn't do anything.

MSG as migraine trigger fits a lot of the old reporting of MSG intolerance. I wonder if science didn't know about food triggers food triggers, and there was less recognition of migraines. It is interesting that there hasn't been studies finding MSG as migraine trigger. I have seen studies that didn't find headaches in general but I wonder if focusing on migraines sufferers would show something different.
I appreciate the passion Matt Stoller brings to antitrust issues but his analyses are not good on the economics, to say the very least.

I agree that some of google’s conduct is very questionable. It’s not obvious to me that paying to be the default search product is pro-competitive.

On the other hand, the case that Google is going to make (and which I think is going to be really hard for the government to overcome) is this: we (google) give our product away for free and so do our competitors. What’s more, the cost of switching search engines is literally zero: just type Bing instead of Google.

If customers are choosing our search product among two free options, then our product is better. It’s going to be very difficult to establish that there’s an abuse of dominant position in that case. (There is other behavior by google which is more questionable, but in search they are on firm ground.)

Having a large market share is not an antitrust violation, nor should it be.
Stupid, stupid, stupid politicians and media companies. I'm glad to see tech companies show some backbone to the sheer hubris and greed that they were being subjected to.

There is no other way that news companies will be shared except via social media. I hope within weeks they are on their knees, begging for the law to be repealed. Too bad you can't recall politicians in Canada the same way you can in the US.

> I hear this for profit prisons repeatedly endlessly but want to point out only 8% of prisons in the US are for profit that vast majority are public institutions

Not only is that number wrong, you're also ignoring the myriad ways prisoners are monetized. It's not strictly a privatized prisons game.
When you combine a running transformer and weak insulation, and also there's no exposed metal where you intend for the current to go. So that probably comes off pretty differently.

They are literally writing the fucking laws in many EU countries to make themselves the only public sector cloud provider. They are making sure that it's their OS and their products being taught at schools. They are beyond simple anti-competitive practices, they are a fucking force of nature nowadays.
Yeah, that's the downside. Thus the need for home automation (or else, the ability of the grid company to cut you off if your bill exceeds some value, sorry about the burst pipes.)
This is unfortunately true. Police qualification tests have a maximum score above which you will not be selected (often this is unwritten). They actively select against intelligence above a certain level, probably for good reason: what’s wanted is people who will shut up and take orders.
well it's extremely unlikely to go to zero, and it can just as likely if not more so go up. He's almost certainly going to be offloading the stock at a pre-agreed rate, the kind of rate that means him and his children and grandchildren will never want for anything in their lives. It also exists as an asset, meaning he can borrow against it if for whatever bizzare reason he needs more.

just like everyone with net worths over something like 10 million. Like I say, almost nobody has cash/fully liquid assets in those amounts. Doesn't stop them from commanding vast amounts of resources on lavish lifstyles, not to mention foolhardy projects and follies on the regular.
> Are we both talking about a text messaging app

We are talking about iMessage.

Were you not aware of the functionality differences, cross platform?

I can totally understand if you weren't aware of them, because you had only used one type of phone, for example.

It can be hard to know about things like this, depending on ones personal experience.
The Australian law got watered down to the point where it allowed Google and Facebook to have private negotiations with news companies on pricing, and come to mutually agreeable terms are not. The Australian landlord didn't force medicine Google to pay them or come to an agreement.

The Canadian law is different in that it did not leave any choice or negotiation up to the companies

I sense pride in cynicism here - and a proud display of ability to generate an unkind take.
Because it’s a bad idea?

You shouldn’t ensure that three potentially inferior products stay on the market. That makes no sense.

It also reduces the incentives those firms have to invest in quality - at some point there is a hard limit on how much competition they face. That would be a terrible, terrible law.
This only affects canadian news on those platforms. Canadian users can still see US news, disinformation, and polarizing things. All this does is block canadian news from reaching canadians. There are no positive benefits.

This reduces the reach of canadian news, increases the reach of US news, and reduces income to canadian news sources from social media traffic. There's no win here at all. The legislation does the opposite of what it claims it wants to do.
