The article you link ends by agreeing with what I said. So I’m not exactly sure what to take it as. If your service fails because it’s trying to create and send an email to an invalid email, then you have an issue. That is not to say that you need excessive validation, but in most email libraries I’ve ever used or build you’re going to get runtime errors if you can’t provide something that looks like x@x.x which is what you want to avoid.

I guess it’s because I’m using the wrong words? English isn’t my first language, but what I mean isn’t that the email actually needs to work just that it needs to have something that is an email format.
What fraud prevention and innovation? They don't investigate anything. My card has been stolen or skimmed 3 times in 2 years. They just write it off and send me a new one. How many billions a year are these two companies foisting on us instead of actually fixing the fraud or prosecuting it?

Any metric. Pick a country with a well regarded prison system (e.g: Norway) and then compare the U.S. system on every metric to see the disparity. Injury, sickness, malnourishment, violence, education, recidivism, drugs, forced labor, mental health. No country that is typically considered as part of “the west” comes close to any of these metrics when compared to the United States.

A question for you: which country in “the west” can you think of that has worse prisoner treatment than the US?
Tumblr has created a special reporting type exactly for these, and they do disappear afterwards quickly (tested this). But by the amount of requests I still receive daily from fresh and empty accounts, I guess the work on avoiding them in the first place still has a lot to catch up. A quarantine period for fresh users risks alienating legit ones, IP filtering won't bring it too far, no idea what one could do to quench it.
The "bionic pancreas" wouldn't help with pancreatic cancer right? The problem is that nobody notices pancreatic cancer until the death warrant is signed (to use your metaphor). Using a bionic pancreas would be like putting out the fire in the kitchen only when the rest of the house is also in flames.

Really hard to hide your web browsing habits from the OS itself. They could trivially grab most of the data, if they wanted.
It's interesting because these days many language runtimes provide their own internal "green threads" / "coroutines" / "async", in-process timeslicing anyways.
I have a family member on a similar system. You might/probably already know this, but I'll put it out there anyway in case I'm wrong.

The thing to watch out for is that if the CGM was previously alerting about frequent nighttime lows, there should probably be some basal dose adjustment made in the pump. The pump can cover incorrect basal dosages for a good range with its automatic adjustments, but it's better to periodically look at the numbers and see if it's regularly backing off the basal dose because it's too high.
In the UK you can still do things that way, but that's more common for paying bills etc, although it's a little less laborious than that.

For more casual usage, you can just use your mobile bank app to generate a payment request for a given amount, pass it to the other person (can do via QR code or link), it opens up in their own bank app, they click approve (or deny). It works pretty well between a variety of different banks, well I've not experienced it fail yet...

(There was also a payment system for a while that went via mobile telephone number, but it didn't get great uptake and was decommissioned after a few years).
> Microsoft really needs to take a real hard look at Windows and figure out what its place is in the world.

The thing I find most interesting is the final snippet of the article:

404 Media found that MTA’s trip history feature still works even when the user pays with Apple Pay. Apple told 404 Media it does not store or have access to the used card numbers, and does not provide these to merchants, including transit systems. Apple did not respond when asked to clarify how the MTA website feature works when a rider uses Apple Pay.

Per https://www.apple.com/apple-pay/ marketing, "When you make a purchase, Apple Pay uses a device-specific number and unique transaction code. So your card number is never stored on your device or on Apple servers. And when you pay, your card numbers are never shared by Apple with merchants. Your purchases stay private."

So something strange is going on for sure...
Many advocacy groups (particularly those making claims about human trafficking) fudge their numbers to make their cause seem more important, and you can see why, we would probably not be discussing this article without such an eye catching statistic in it.

If you try to see how they got this number in their report it is "credible estimates/sources" that are "on file at OHCR". So there's no way to independently verify this, you have to just trust them, which doesn't breed confidence in their estimates.
I'm sure a LOT of engineers from MS are on HN. You all need to push back on this.

So long, and (b thanks) for all the (em fish))

I hate that syntax for attributes.

:class="alert" is strictly worse than ((class . "alert")) or any other variation that actually leverages s-expressions instead of merging key and value into the same symbol. Ew.

Not a fan of the bare words instead of strings either, which means this cannot be naively evaluated by a Lisp.

I wouldn't say this is producing html from s-exps, rather that it is vaguely inspired by them.
BSD exists and Nvidia maintains some support for it.
Lynch's syndrome is not a general term but a specific inheritable genetic mutation that affects about 1 in 270. It puts them at higher risk for certain kinds of cancer. The reason to get tested, if you have one or more relatives who have suffered from colon cancer, is to do early and ongoing screening for colon cancer. Lynch is more common than the BRCA3 mentioned in the article.
I think you misunderstood my comment. In that scenario, it still wouldn't rule out the possibility of a lab leak, since like I said they still could have been studying that natural origin inside of a lab.
Yup, the verification works against regular users and in favour of automation. But that's a good business model for them, without impossibly attractive potential matches nobody would pay for anything, so they have no financial desire to stop it.

Too often a daily standup is really just a way to try to make sure everyone is busy. Asking everyone what they did yesterday, what they are going to today, and if they have any blockers, doesn't usually help the team coordinate their work. As you point out, it just puts people on the spot to try to say something that makes them sound important.

But if you ask the team, "What can we do today to make the most progress delivering this next tiny slice of functionality for the customer?" the discussion is centered around the work. Usually introverted people can participate in that conversation without being uncomfortable.

Ask HN: Tools to find prescription drug availability
I'm looking for a medication for one of my kids and have called more than a half dozen pharmacies in the last 20 minutes trying to find if they stock a certain generic variant at a certain dosage. It's in short supply and so far, no luck...The pharmacists are consistent in their claim that they cannot check stock at other pharmacies in the same chain. I'm reaching out to the community to ask if anyone has knowledge of a tool, a script, etc. enabling one to find the nearest pharmacy that has stock. I'm not sure if it's technically feasible but there's an opportunity there, I suspect...
I recently had my car written off (a small SUV) and due to lack of availability of replacements I replaced it with a similar sized hatchback. Now I find myself thinking why on earth I had an SUV - I'm unlikely to purchase another one as the hatchback is cheaper, roomier inside and handles much better.

There's nothing difficult about the two lineages at the market. What it indicates is that SARS-CoV2 had been circulating for some time before the pandemic took off. We now know that it can spread asymptomatically.

The differences between the lineages is very small, amounting to a few weeks of the same kind of random variation frequently observed in real time during the pandemic.

What is does indicate is that those first diagnosed with SARS-CoV2 most likely contracted it from different sources, rather than as a consequence of encountering the same infected person or animal.

Climate capitalism: How market forces and policies align

And because the laws of the physical world are immutable, we can be certain it’s going to get worse as we continue to burn fossil fuels and grow the load of greenhouse gases that heat the planet.
> Are the machines leased or owned? Because if they are owned outright (which is implied by the fast that ifixit was able to buy a used one to work on) then wholesale replacement of the control electronics would just void any warranty but would not be able to be hit with any sort of firmwarm hack copyright claim, assuming any new software writted for the control logic was clean-sheet engineered and not reversed from the Taylor control system.

But Taylor (presumably) won't repair them if they have modified boards and it's a breech of contract for them to hire anyone else to repair them.
Afaik the only notable departure has been Google for Carbon, but afaik even they use llvm as the backend. I believe the only negative consequence has been to clang not llvm itself.

I think even with a 50% weight reduction for the same amount of energy, it still doesn't come close to the energy density of jet fuel.

And furthermore, there are more things to consider than just the energy itself, if we want to deploy it widely. Things like charging time, changing existing infrastructure, costs for R&D and development and finally all the regulatory approvals you'd have to go through. Of course not impossible but I think we're still really far away from making it happen.

The mandate is for driving a vehicle on public roads, which is absolutely not a right. You can decline paying for-profit companies for insurance by not driving.

The healthcare argument is different and reasonable. The lack of a taxpayer-funded health scheme in the United States combined with making it illegal to opt out of being alive (and requiring health insurance) is nonsense.

Right the numbers for "positive test" should include false positives. That's part of my point. I've worked out a sample calculation if you want to see it. We could get fancy with error bars but I don't think that's necessary for any common cancer, and rare cancers shouldn't be tested for anyway since you'll mostly have false positives.

As I said above, I don't think that screening is automatically good because in some cases, working out the above numbers will tell you not to treat even if you had a positive test. Those cases should not be tested since they're not actionable anyway. That would likely be the case for a rare cancer.

I agree that a false positive is not great. But if you have the data, then the impact of false positive tests is already included in your data. You're comparing the total rates of death and other unpleasant outcomes for a tested population vs. an untested population.
Then I think we agree more than we disagree. My objection to the simulation hypothesis is precisely that it lacks imagination. It's boring. Given all of the infinite imaginative possibilities, that our Universe is simply an instance of our latest nerd obsession is as unlikely as its being the 6,000 year old side project of a cranky sky giant.

Those two explanations come from exactly the same impulse: explaining the weird fact of our existence in terms that are reducibly familiar to us.

I imagine that getting a heavier car up to speed in stop and go traffic would be more energy intensive. Also driving it uphill has to use up a lot more battery since it's so much heavier. The weight reduction should improve [1] tire longevity and reduce maintenance costs. Overall I think it could help with range and costs so it seems like a worthy thing to focus on.

With all other object oriented structures you would think that you want to do something with the mylist, thus you would first write down mylist.

In Ruby I thus often write something such as:

if mylist.empty?.!

Because my line of thinking goes from the object to a function or attribute and then chains further along. Calling the `.!` method on the returned boolean object is very nice, because I don't have to go back to before mylist and insert the !-operator there.
This stuff was tired in 2016. Inexcusable now.

Hmm, I hadn't considered that, but I suppose Congress could enact a similar compulsory licensing procedure for AI. The hardest part will be identifying authors though. I can certainly appreciate adherence to the law despite difficulty, but I think once it crosses impossibility, you have to reconsider the public policy benefits. Even if you could force someone to license you their work for a statutory fee, something like Wikipedia would still be off-limits since you could never contact all the anonymous Wikipedia users to send each of them his 4¢ royalty.
Do they technically actually do get lighter? Since it's a solid-state battery, nothing is actually moving outside the battery (the ions move from one electrode to another, but they remain within the battery while charging/discharging) and because of law of conservation of mass, the weight should stay the same.

But I'm no battery expert, maybe someone knows better.
It's not clear what "western culture" really means, other than as a demagogic slogan (used by either side).

There are "western" cultureS, plural. Many traditions. And that's the precise strength.
I feel like it's companies' problem if their business model is not compatible with the new reality of AIs relentlessly scraping their data. They may need to rethink their business model and try to increase their margins and/or improve their efficiency to account for rising hosting costs. I guess there are difficult times ahead.

I think it's not so bad since the entities who train and/or use AI also have to pay a lot of money on their end.
