No, it presupposes this list of things unrelated to france or phones (or strictly speaking, only the last item on this list):

- companies engaged in government contracts would rather continue to be engaged in government contracts than have them be terminated

- politicians would prefer to say they spent your taxpayer dollars on something that caused a change which “benefited” you, rather than say they spent them on something that had no perceptible impact

- there exist technicians engaged in testing who believe the above two are true, and have the capacity to make micro-decisions in testbench setup that can affect the general bias of the results

That all said, based on the other commented here it seems french politicians took EU guidelines for 5mm exposure and demanded those same number at 0mm. So it really is the french politicians wanting to ban the phones.
A bad credit score doesn't really mean you've made bad choices. It just means you had some bad luck.

The reasons for your bad luck can range from medical bills, job loss, missing work when poor (it snowballs) and other such things. It might mean you made a bad decision when you were 18, but it is still hanging around on your credit. You might have been in a financially abusive relationship.

Shit happens, and it is naive to think that you have absolute control over all of it. A few folks simply don't pay, sure, but you can't tell this from a credit report.

And it isn't like you are going to get credit for paying most normal bills on time. Landlords and utilities rarely report positives to the agencies.

And even with all this, it shouldn't realistically mean that folks can't get back up. Most jobs don't need credit checks, nor do most apartments (or at least, limited checks).
That was not a contract killing, rather it was a far more common type of murder. The list was something like an enemies list. I have no idea why he kept one, mind you, but the police showed it at trial and it freaked out grandma and some other family who were on there. I'd imagine his former boss wasn't any too happy to realize how easily it could've been him, either, for that matter.

I think you underestimate the revenge cycle that might occur if society wanted to be more lenient than life in prison, which was the result here. The state can't reasonably be more lenient than the average person, or the average person is going to decide that the cost of a few years is worth the revenge. You're already looking at a lifetime of pain for losing someone dear to you, what's a couple of years if you admit your guilt and surrender quietly? And that's before we get into "hey, this guy made a hit list with my name on it, and we have to take that seriously because the person at the top of the list was already murdered."

For the rest, one of your studies says "There was no evidence of significant differences on rearrest or reconviction. Moderator analysis showed no significant moderating effect for risk score, age, or sex." and "the results would be considered mixed, at best." Which... yeah, is pretty much what I've seen for the most part. Maybe I'm not communicating what I think accurately enough, but this sort of result pretty much exactly what I have in mind. You find studies with promising numbers that still turn out to be meh and don't leave you convinced that the intervention is actually changing what the people are capable of.

Importantly, I do not say that nothing shows some promise, or that we shouldn't keep trying, I'm just saying we don't have anything that looks like it can be scaled up to have big impact. And I get that it's hard to measure when plenty of people will do maybe one crime due to some big mistake and had no intention of doing more. I have some small hope that maybe intervening for psychosis could help with violent offenses, but that might assume too much about people taking their meds, unless they're willing and able to use long-lasting injections.
As long as you hold everyone who voted for Gerhard Schröder too. Not like these policies came out of a vacuum.
Physical size and power requirements are also lower than a Pi 1.
The real question is, in a world of Wine/Proton, Linux emulating the Windows API, and offline games (because the company running the servers would likely be dead then too), can you sandbox a game enough to not care whether it has some old malware or not.

I wouldn't do my banking on that computer, but a dedicated gaming computer, where each malware can only see the files of its own host game and has no networking -- that might just be good enough.
I would hardly call striking over poor conditions abusing your powers. You could say the same thing about the rationale for any government crackdown.
> A function is a relationship between two sets

Ok then what is relationship? There's a whole theory of relations, and I'd rather not dive into that for the article. Also, drawing arrows can give misleading intuition.

It's better to define a function as a set of pairs, then you don't need to use anything else not introduced yet.
I don't know how long it has been this way, but for at least the last few years you can read it online for free [1] if you create an account at the publisher's site, nfpa.org.

Here's a list of the codes NFPA publishes [2]. The NEC is NFPA 70.

Checking a few random ones, the ones that were not obsolete or withdrawn are available for online free reading. That includes several past editions. E.g., for the NEC the free online access includes editions going back to 1968.

(Old editions are sometimes relevant because local codes often lag in adopting the latest version).

How long before. There are often rules that you have to disclose such data a specific amount of time before you trade - often a week or two. There is an exception for trades you scheduled far enough in advance that they couldn't have been insiders (ie if you want to pay your kids' Harvard tuition you can schedule the trade months in advance - you won't have insider information anyway)

If everybody expects you to disclose that information in twitter than you are okay. However if the information is supposed to be disclosed on a SEC form (8k, and 10q are the most likely) than putting it on twitter first could get you in trouble even if you don't trade at all since someone who watches the SEC filings will not see your twitter notice)
It's not as crazy of a moniker as it sounds. See Unity's history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unity_(game_engine)#History
Seems like the obvious solution is to ban the use of private standards in public law. A vendor may choose to be eligible for having its standards used in the law by making them open/public/free for use, xor it can keep them private.
Unity may be free, but it is by not "open" by any stretch of the imagination

The UK Storm Shadow cruise missile does not use Starlink - it is launched from a modified SU-24 bomber and then uses GPS to navigate to a target area via a preplanned flight plan to evade air defenses.

When in the target area , it then uses onboard camera to "look" for a designated target profile (i.e ships, planes on the ground - russians recently put car tyres on their bombers in order to spoof it) before going into terminal descent and going ka-boom.

Fortunately for Ukraine it does not need the internet to do it's job.
thats a great point. its fair in a 'pursuit of happiness' type of way.
> A program could even support multiple formats

I invite you to check out Symfony where you configure your app using yaml, attributes in code, code itself, or a mix of all the above.

You will cry.
Yes, all laws should be publicly accessible, but there are multiple ways legally to address the situation. You can just as equally say that the copyright is valid and people are prohibited from sharing the incorporated code, but the state legislatures violated the constitution by making private laws and thus the laws are overturned.
lol no, Macintosh was always a status symbol.
That is nice and all... but you still have to invest significant resources into building and training your team to use Unreal, and then if they change the terms for future versions, you are stuck on an old version if you don't accept those terms, until you retrain everyone.

Of course, open source projects regrettably become closed source projects sometimes too (see Hashicorps recent moves), locking you into the previous version of the project.... but, with Open Source, you can fork the project and continue- or ally with other members of the community to fork- often at a lower cost than re-training and re-tooling. An option that does not exist in the proprietary world.
> Why should they care now? Apple's customers are well-versed in apologetics

Instead of assuming the millions of customers are deluding themselves into a worse experience, consider that they don't care for this particular feature, and the median user does not need it or think about it at all.

For most people, the cable is a means to keep their battery full. That's it.
If it was used as prepayment for services, this is not half bad idea. But for targeted attacks to people like Vitalik that's well within budget.

"Suggestible You" by Erik Vance explores this phenomenon, and really turned me around on placebos. I'm, generally speaking, not particularly susceptible to placebo effects, and always kind of (arrogantly) chalked placebo effects up to people just being gullible and wanting to see something that wasn't there. It turns out there are actually genes that might be responsible for the physical impact of the placebo effect in the brain.

There's an enzyme - catechol-O-methyltransferase - which is coded for by the COMT gene. This enzyme catalyzes the metabolism of dopamine in the brain. COMT has three common variations - AA/AG/GG - which substantially alters how effective the enzyme is at metabolizing dopamine. AA results in significantly reduced enzyme activity, which can result in dopamine built-up in the brain, which results in increased sensitivity to stress, anxiety, and pain, but comes with the bonus of enhanced cognition, motor skills, and memory.

AA genotypes also tend to be "placebo responders", while GG genotypes tend to be non-responders. This tends to imply that placebo responsiveness isn't purely psychological, but physical - and indeed, it turns out that in AA "responders" you can turn off the placebo effect by administrating naloxone (which works by binding to opioid receptors)!

This has really interesting implications for pharmacological research, too - if there are people who are genotypically predisposed towards or against placebo effects, then a drug trial that stacks responders in the trial group and non-responders in the placebo group which would produce a drug efficacy signal that could be just the placebo effect.
Biggest downside I've discovered by doing this is that there's not a very good way to diff separate versions of one sheet. Best I've done is export to CSV and use a generic text diff.
Yes, and that's great, but what I meant is that it can definitely be much cheaper still, especially if you do not need a model that needs to be able to do everything, but is specialized on one or a few use cases.
Iirc it had to do with product designers finding that users would try to open the laptop from the wrong end

This change seems like a surefire way to ensure the majority of users only have 1-2 workspaces, forever. Why they prioritized making it hard to make heavier use of their product is beyond me.
Maybe. If a "reasonable person" would figure it was insider information then you are in trouble.
Set theory has the big unexpected results of the reals being bigger than the natural numbers, the independence of the Axiom of Choice, and the undecidability of the Continuum Hypothesis. What are some similarly big results in category theory, for a novice?
These are about different incidents though, right? Is there some other confirmation lockdown mode would have been effective in this case as well?
Counterfactual:

What if debts were all perfectly organized? If you miss a payment, the collector would email you an electronic copy of the contract, and the parts in breach would be highlighted. Further assume that the contract itself is simple and understandable, and the debtors knew they were in breach of fairly obvious clauses (e.g. send this payment by this date). And let's also assume all collectors act in good faith and warn you of upcoming obligations.

And then let's say there was an efficient and fair legal process, and if the debtor still doesn't pay for an extended time, it would be economical to sue individual debtors, and get judgements, and enforce them as prescribed by law.

Is that better?

My guess is probably not. Small debts are in a weird optional world and if you don't pay the main problem is that you have trouble borrowing more, or need to borrow at bad rates (maybe check cashing instead of formal credit). The collectors are some weird outgrowth of this model, and they don't really serve any useful purpose. But it might be better than actually enforcing small debts against people as the current laws allow.

Of course, ideally, we'd just be honest and call it an optional system. To be in good standing with lenders, pay your debts. If you don't care, then don't, and maybe be locked out of borrowing in the future. And larger debts would be handled separately, with collateral, etc.
I studied category theory for a while, and frankly it plays zero role in my day-to-day programming. It would maybe be a different story if I were writing libraries in Haskell or something, but as it is, it’s really not that relevant to me.

Programmers use monads all the time without knowing it, but there is little need to understand the deep math-y concepts or proofs that underlie them.

It seems like media execs are treating AI more as a cost-cutting tool than an enhancement. The tech just isn't advanced enough yet to fully replace human writing and editing. As a reader, I find these AI-generated articles pretty hollow. I'd rather wait longer between human-written pieces than get AI filler daily.
i replaced a 200 mhz 512k ram mips mpu with one of these same chips to great effect and at reduced cost.

Have you played all these games? Which ones would you recommend if I were to only buy 1 or 2?
"hard" in this case doesn't mean complexity, it means difficulty in an emotional sense
Seems like the justification would be to keep the type information when going back and forth to Ion. More like "multiple nullable types" instead of "multiple types of null"

userBirthDay: null <-- ok, but what type is it? String? Int? Timestamp?

userBirthDay: null.timestamp <-- ok, it's a timestamp typed variable, but we don't know the value. Yay, happy programmer.
This was incredibly difficult to follow. Granted mobile game dev is not my field but it felt like a bunch of nonsense. If you can't clearly outline what value you provide in a couple paragraphs of rambling then I'm not too surprised you failed.

Then we get to the next section (which I had to skip to after rereading the first one a few times and still completely lost) and we find they are targeting idle games, aka a scourge on gaming. Can idle games be fun and non-predatory? Yes, I'm sure they can but I've watched a few indie devs who accomplished this then got greedy (Eggs Inc comes to mind). The incentives are all to milk your users and find new ways to force/trick/entice them into buying 100 gems/coins/bullshit.

I refuse to download games with recurring IAP. Level/campaign packs, "remove ads", "full unlock" are all fine but if I see gems/coins/power/etc then I'm out. Those games are so predictable and only exist to extract money, not to actually be fun.

In the end I'm still unsure why this "publisher" even needed to exist (I don't understand the value they were providing) and I'm glad they failed if they is the type of trash they were fostering.
Alright, I'll throw my hat in.

I wrote a config file format. I took JSON and added comments, strict typing (using one character for any type that needs a marker), the ability to split items with newlines instead of commas, trailing commas, explicit binary data (as base64), and a new type I call "symbols" for things like enums or references. Then I removed the need to surround keys with quotes if they have only a certain set of typical characters.

It looks like [1].

It turns out that JSON was very close. It just needed a few more things.

Edit: one thing about config file formats that I strongly believe is that they must be purely data, no code. If you need code, supplement them with a separate thing, and perhaps use an established language, like Lua.

A USB powered Linux device with a USB-Ethernet gadget driver and Wi-Fi hardware should be possible, but that can’t be powered by a power-over-laptop-Ethernet-jack if that’s what you’re after; Ethernet is either isolated or well filtered and can’t provide current.
To push your point a bit further, my high school History teacher (I went to HS in NYC), would constantly remind us that New York was nothing like the rest of America.
Maybe it’s different in USA. But unions in Germany basically mean, that one would get salary according Union table for particular federal state. Plus the working conditions are a bit better than in owner led companies. However union can’t do anything about layoffs or toxic teams. So thanks to unions all white collar salaries are capped at somewhere near 120000€.
As you mentioned, astronomy is a field where contributions by amateurs / citizen scientists are extremely valuable. A few organizations that exemplify this are: (1) the American Association of Variable Star Astronomers (disclaimer, I'm their Executive Director) which collects photometric (brightness) data as well as spectroscopic data on variable stars and kindred objects including exoplanets (2) the Society for Astronomical Sciences which is more broad than AAVSO, but with a moderate focus on instrumentation (3) the Center for Backyard Astrophsyics (hyper specialized on one type of variable star, a good collaborator of the AAVSO) (4) the International Occultation and Timing Association that observe asteroids occulting (blocking) stars to infer their shapes

Most countries have organizations similar to these too.

Edit: There is a group within the SAS working on an automated optical spectrograph for astronomy called the FlexSpec 1 (https://flexspec1.readthedocs.io/en/latest/). It is about $500 in parts. Similar devices sell for about $3,000.

I wish they would give similar treatment to homeopathic "remedies." It's appalling to find them sold at drug stores when they've never even been proven effective in any way. You can literally give the opposite "medicine" to someone and they wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
I reported a bug in the iOS Home app and they fixed it. Seems to be hit or miss on what they'll fix.
For sure. I think computers and the internet will continue to be more innovative than most other industries, but the rate will be slower than what we are used to.

There was a time when performance would double every couple of years, but now we see around 10% performance gains over the same amount of time. Nothing to scoff at, but not enough to drive as crazy innovation as was previously commonplace.

I wonder where the market will go after we've exhausted lithography.
Agree with that. Just more failed war on drugs stuff.

How I wish this was true

(this is not a comment on Unions, just on abuse of power in general)
I think there's an argument to say that he was doing it as part of his work, but I'll make this point anyway: if he was doing it for fun and to entertain people in a way unrelated to his actual job, wouldn't it still be "amateur science"? The same way that if a premier league footballer or an MLB hall of famer went with their family to play a game in the park, that's amateur football/baseball despite being done by a professional.

And while one could argue that the words used were "amateur scientist" rather than "amateur science", it could also be argued the opposite direction by suggesting that tag might not actually apply to the author but instead to the type of content since it's to be read and perhaps replicated by amateur
scientists more than professional ones.

Or we could just celebrate the article regardless of the accuracy of someone's throwaway remark's categorisation of it :p
>Secondarily, I wouldn't think that you could apply radiocarbon dating in a meaningful way to anything that's not from pre-nuclear-testing earth.

I don't think this is relevant. For C-14 dating, the way it works is that as you are alive, you take in sources of carbon, and some well understood and modeled percentage of that carbon is a radioactive isotope. That isotope is produced when csomic rays hit the upper atmosphere, and that C14 then reacts with oxygen to make C(14)O2. Plants turn this radioactive CoO2 into other organic matter that is eaten by other things and incorporated into their body.

The moment that animal dies, C14 stops being added to their body. As C14 has a known rate of decay, you can look at the percentage of carbon in the sample that is C14, plus the decay products, and estimate how long that sample has been not alive, which for old things, correlates well with how long ago it was alive.
