TIL laws prohibiting interracial marriage were repelled only in 1967 in the US. Which makes sense now I think of it. My takeaway as a French is it is really difficult to imagine the level of "racialization" which influenced or still influence the way of life in the US. Which makes the regular issues related to that so puzzling (affirmative action & co).

This is usually labelled quite literally as a "whole foods diet", meaning that the foods you eat are "whole" in themselves and not composed of other refined food. To me, it's the only diet that makes any real sense.

We live in a crazy ultra-processed food world. Even just standard processed food can be pretty bad for you (bread, rice) in certain quantities and a lot of people see that stuff as being baseline, the way you'd view whole foods.

Congratulations on the weight loss!
Yeah. Rape a kid? Silence and you get moved to a different location where you can continue raping kids and be moved to a further new location.

With China coming up decimating many USA companies in eastern side, all these doesnt matter much. Do you matter what happen to Japanese or German companies? Bankrupted and outcompete by Chinese companies in the last 5 years? Well same thing now happening to many American companies on that side and European too. So having American companies splitting up at this point would give the Chinese side even more advantage to outcompete with way stronger resources in Brics.
Airspace Adaptation, or the catalog of different items in the old ATC system, is nightmarishly complex. It allows for insane FPs that are just not suited for straight forward computation. Canada and Mexico also share fix names with US. From a math and physics perspective, the language of flight plans is degenerate and, I think, doesn't even hold group structure. It's the reason that humans are still required even though MIT's JEDI did a bang up job of conflict resolution, or keeping planes from giving each other hugs. on the nose. At 300 miles per hour.

My clarification is that their new tracking system does increase your privacy compared to the old. It just doesn’t increase it as much as other browsers. We’re not in disagreement about what is better for users.
Exactly my thoughts. I wonder how fast that could be processed by a Perl script or even awk/sed.
How about the legitimacy of the government? Most of the abuses are governments which have a long history of abusing their power and it wouldn’t be unreasonable to say that entire countries should not be trusted with sales.

Even if you want to be skeptical of the PBI, I'd think the Jewish Community of Rome and the Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum would do their due diligence to confirm this info matches other information they have about the area at the time before joining a press release about it?

> Arguably it is already not fair that some people get to live in temperate areas whereas the other in cold ones, but it is then compounded by the fact that cold areas get unbearable amount of biting pests.

How is that "not fair", man? I don't think that's how the concept of "fairness" should be applied. You have control over where you live. The thing that's being unfair is you being unfair to you by trapping yourself by pretending you don't have that control.

I'm OK if natural predators are used to control mosquito populations. That's fine I think as long as it is not done in a "keep throwing support at Team Frog" to artificially prop it up. The ecosystem will find a balance, that's OK and desirable.

I think there are frogs in cold areas. Maybe the logging there destroyed the habitats. Or the use of pesticides / fertilizers ruined the water table...What do you hate so much about mosquitos?

It absolutely is. I put up security cameras on my house (which contains deadly weapons); it is not an act of violence to know who comes and goes.

I am of the belief that being maximally situationally aware is one of the best ways of avoiding and preventing violence.

Comms are indeed nonviolent: you will note that he provided the Starlink terminals for free and comped some service for them as well. The special case of using comms to remote control a deadly weapon is obviously violent, and is the point at which it was shut off. It doesn't much matter if you are using linkages, hydraulics, electrical cables, or RF to murder people remotely.

Despite the euphemistic use of "defense" as a cover for all war operations, in the traditional sense of the word, there actually remains a big difference between defense and offense, ie between using technology to protect your own, versus using technology to harm your enemies. The lines have intentionally been blurred to make it impossible to support one without the other, but they are actually different.

Those things aren't necessarily "long-term fulfilling" for people with ADHD. The only things that have been that way for me are chatting with friends and programming. Everything else (and trust me, there's a lot of everything else) I instantly get depressed that I suck, give up, and lose the ability to ever try again.
The specific issue with archeology is destruction can be selective. You can’t tell which towns failed to keep marriage records based on the lack of surviving records when the place those records ended up could get destroyed in a fire.

Is a structure missing because it didn’t exist, or is it missing because it was made out of useful materials repurposed for something else.

Similarly people dig up the remains of ancient towns because they got buried, if the location had erosion instead there would be nothing obvious left to investigate.
I like the idea, but there's a delay. It's noticeable enough to be annoying and making it impossible to play out the pieces exactly as I would like to. It just feels like when I get in a rhythm I end up being one tick forward. Or is it just me?

That is because iMessage has the same function as the night men in the Eagles song Hotel California:

"Relax,” said the night man, “We are programmed to receive
You can check out any time you like but you can never leave"

Somehow fittingly that song is about the excesses of American culture ... also about the uneasy balance between art and commerce [1] according to one of its authors, Don Henley while also having been interpreted as being all about American decadence and burnout, too much money, corruption, drugs and arrogance; too little humility and heart and a metaphor for hedonism, self-destruction, and greed ....

The existence of this APIs will be very useful to argue that server-side data collection is not reasonable under GDPR anymore.

I hope it gets implemented because it will give significant ammunition to us in Europe to make server-side behaviour tracking marked as unreasonable under GDPR provisions.
Just curious, what tools other than AI would accomplish this? Wouldn't pulling information from chats require contextual understanding (NLP)? I guess maybe it could auto-tag messages rather than summarize content?

There is no publicly known method by which Google’s ad network is able to siphon extra data from Chrome users for targeting etc. If there is one, as OP’s friend suggested, definitionally it must be secret.
As someone new to it, I found it hard because the docs were incomplete. The "usual" use case of collaborative text editing with a pre-made text editor was well documented.
For example here you can see a lot of "todo" in the docs:

If something seems to good to be true it probably is. I agree with the people saying the article isn't the best, but TEMU selling products so cheap because the main product is the data taken from the customers phones who installed the app, makes more sense than this random company can sell products so cheaply, for reasons unknown.

Clearly China has been proven to be untrustworthy when it comes to their technology, apps included, so I tend to do the opposite of give them the benefit of the doubt, and just assume their apps are untrustworthy by default.
>influenced what would later become French and Spanish

To be picky, also Italian, Portuguese and Romanian.

If you are native or fluent in any of these languages and also have a basic knowledge of Latin, you are usually capable of reading simple texts in any of the other ones, deriving the meaning of the "diverging" words by the rest of the sentences or by connecting the word with a different Latin root.

Paradoxically, the bigger issues come from "false friends" that - while not very common - can be deceiving.
I've gone through a similar thought process when deciding what to do (next). At the time I was in retail Forex which amounts to gambling. After a while I accepted/reframed it as entertainment with a false sense of investment which was tolerable. I didn't want to work in fintech (too derivative/decoupled) nor adtech.

What I found was working at smaller companies/startups that solve specific problems/areas, e.g. photography. Now I'm at an e/comerce platform which does have a percentage of fast fashion but on the whole promotes trade which connects economies and individual independence which is net plus.
Yet another disturbing revelation about the NYPD brought to light by the STOP project. They're doing great work fighting an uphill battle -- they also tried (unsuccessfully, unfortunately) to keep Mayor Adams's NYPD from flying surveillance drones among the crowds, and even into private backyards, at J'Ouvert this weekend. (He got the idea from his recent trip to visit Netanyahu, who does all sorts of crazy stuff like that regularly.
They seem to ignore the fact that ad-tech is a huge industry and a large part of the internet relies on it. Basically the only way to make it go away would be to outlaw it.

Not necessarily. It will also go away - or more usefully, change its behaviour - if its current model becomes less cost effective. Apple restricted what apps could spy on and Facebook complained like a spoiled child but the sky did not fall. The evidence of effectiveness for all these tracking-based "personalised" ads is limited at best anyway. If you're running a search engine where users have literally just told you what kind of thing they're interested in right now or you're hosting videos where you know which video a user is about to watch or you're serving ads to be included within someone else's web page and you can tell what the content of that page is then you already have very useful information to help you choose which ads might be relevant without needing any additional user tracking at all.

That'll help with the homeless problem, surely.
I can't agree. Dub music evolved more or less around Nyabinghi chants through Count Ossie's jazz interpretations. The Nyabinghi chants are spiritual chants, so you may think of dub music as very spiritual. Add to that the lyrics of dub music and there you are. Of course the likes of Lee Scratch and Mad Professor really brought psychedelic vibes with reverb and delay into it, but the point is what it was used for, and what the themes in it are about.

For me dub is undoubtedly psychadelic spirtual music and its sources are in Rastafari. I like it very much, even though I'm don't share all the Rastafari beliefs.

I'm not saying that Nyabinghi drumming has anything to do with Jewish liturgical music. or that Rastafari is a descendant of Christianity, for, or not. Fact is that even though it has no direct connection physically (those people were in Jamaica, right so?), they were absolutely enchanted by the idea of Ethiopian roots. Ras Tafari is Ethiopian, right?

Potentially it was wrong to use "Judaism" as terminology at all here, and I was rightfully downvoted. But what I meant is Old Testament is closely related to the Hebrew Bible, which is a foundational text in Judaism.... These texts contain many of the same books that are found in the Old Testament of the Christian Bible, although the arrangement and the number of books may differ. So may wording was not entirely right, I stand corrected.

No you may not know, but Ethiopia has never been colonized, and is very proud for it. And it was one of the first countries to be exposed to Christianity (or Judaism if you want, or whatever it was called in these BC ages). There is very good reason to believe that the legendary Queen of Sheba have actually visited King Solomon, although I'm not going into arguing about Song of Songs, really. This is ... like long before Christ came to bring the New Testament.

But the point here is that Ethiopian Orthodoxy, etc influenced the Rastafari interpretations. Was it for political reasons, for Marcus Garvey reasons - I can't tell. But if you care to listen to what people sing about in the roots roots dub, try https://www.discogs.com/artist/43151-Alpha-Omega. They are for sure much more into this whole stuff - much more than you and me. Listen to the themes. The themes are biblical, and very much about characters and events that you find in the Old Testament. About Israel, Exodus, etc. This is biblical music, like it or not. And such these are the roots of dub. You find similar themes in music by Twinkle Brothers, Pablo Moses, etc...

Surely you can find lots of articles on this topic, such as https://jamaicans.com/ethiopian_church/.
> but why?

Why not? I was curious, Haskell is the functional language I know. Lean is the language I do not know.

Since Lean leans even heavier towards mathematics, set builder style notation seems like a natural fit. Now whether or not such notation is actually needed or worth it, that is a whole different question.
You raise an interesting point. Friend requests. I remember some researchers set up a fake profile of a woman who worked for the US department of defense. The profile was inundated with men requesting friendship connections.

I don't accept a friend request unless I actually know the person. Do people randomly accept these requests knowing nothing about the other person than what is on their profile?
Stepping back: you’ve made a great POC for AI summarization. Probably building a great reader front-end is a separate project.

I like your project better than distill AI because I can read the summaries on the front page without clicking each one. I think that eliminating a click to investigate an uninteresting article is the magic here.

In my case, I appreciate that HN tracks “hidden” items on the back end, because I use three different devices for reading.

What are your intentions with the project, going forward?

Is there an RSS reader already with this type of summarization feature?

In music, the performer can either perform the music as written, or they can inject emotion into the piece by changing the velocity and timing of the notes. This app lets you inject the emotion through timing, even though you don’t actually know how to play piano.

It also lets you focus entirely on the “feel” of the piece.

I think it is from first principles, cause what more would one want, have them write an OS first? Or should they mine for rare earths to build their own CPU? You have to start somewhere reasonable and rhis is somewhere reasonable, afaik.

I recall reading about ESSO the gas company how the company tried to find a neutral name that didn't mean anything in any language. edit: but now I see it just means Standard Oil as in 'S' and 'O'.
I worked at a company that had a style guide we were supposed to abide by for all the blog posts, social media posts, and knowledge base content--but then the person in charge of it would arbitrarily change his mind about something and require us to go back through 250 articles and lowercase a word. He wouldn't tell us this was happening. He would just start using the term the way he wanted until someone pointed it out, then insist the whole knowledge base be redone to accommodate him.

At least with this he would have had to make a pull request to update the guide where we all could see it!
I totally agree with that. Easier said than done, though, if you live somewhere where this is not the norm and you may get scolded by the authorities (luckily not my case).

Diversity statements that require orthodoxy are beyond "not having a measurable positive effect". The article just now has given an example to the contrary.

This is a emperors new clothes parable. Since university administrators probably aren't too stupid, it might be adequate to suggest that it is indeed malice that motivates their actions.

For the grad students it is probably severe naivete. Hopefully universities concentrate on helping with that.

The intent was there, even if it was poorly executed on. That lack of coherence is one of the most frustrating elements of the new trilogy for me. It had a lot of good ideas but no sense of direction.
It was a catastrophic failure in terms of money spent, lives lost and enduring repetitional damage on the US that continues to this day. Vietnam was a harbinger of this but Afghanistan/Iraq cemented the notion that if you operate on long term timescales you can beat the US.

UBL may not have achieved his primary goal but he got many concessions: Americans lost many freedoms, trust in government is significantly lower compared to pre 9/11 and given what happened on Jan 6 and everything that led up to it, we may look back at 9/11 as the point which set the stage for the eventual breakup of the union.
The low throughput is definitely a code smell.

In my experience, a common mistake in handling files too large for memory is to read the data faster than you process it, consequently running out of memory.

For example, maybe they have a loop reading lines and doing a bunch of async DB writes: your process will read at disk speed and write at database speed (relatively slower), and you'll run out of memory due to async tasks/context queuing up in memory.

Perhaps this is why it worked to split the file into 8GB units X 25 servers: it didn't blow their memory budget per server.
A lot of accident analysis reads like this (air accident reports especially tend to read like they've come from a writer who's just discovered foreshadowing). And often there's a few points where it could have been worse. There's a reason for the "Swiss cheese" model of safety. The main thing to remember is there's not just one needle: it's somewhere between a bundle of spaghetti and water being pushed up against the barriers, and that's before you assume malicious actors.
Thats just because others need to step up their game.
I find it baffling how some archaeologists draw detailed narratives of ancient life from just one, often ambiguous, piece of evidence.
