In order to address those political people would need to go and demonstrate and become political active in order to bring in tax reforms, banking reforms, economic reforms, social welfare reforms, government administrative reforms, school reforms, healthcare reforms, police reforms, and possible more in order to take money from other sectors to pay for it.

The purpose of anti-privacy laws is to make sure that such activity is fully monitored and dealt with in proper manner before they can become a problem. The rise of new political parties is in particular important to keep in check, and that is impossible if people have private communication and unchecked travel.

This why and how privacy rank above those issues. Naturally most people are not political active, and most who are do not threaten to partake or create competing political movements.
With this type of measures, uk's internet will be just as safe as china's!!! What an achievement! Uk should also implement social score, this will also be done to protect the citizens from dangers! Maybe even some camps where people that are potentially dangerous/unwanted (afaik party said this about migrants, one of the reasons reason Brexit happened) would be isolated from good citizens. This internet act is also a perfect first step for detecting ill intented journalists, how they dare uncover corruption schemes, everything parliament does is for their citizens!
Long live the queen!(ups) Long live the king(I mean parliament)!

This is a good place as any to ask: I'm an experienced Elixir dev so I know my way around Supervisors, GenServers, Registries, etc. but I feel there is more to OTP, the myriad of erlang modules for fault tolerance, which are not immediately visible unless you spend a lot of time reading the erlang docs.

Is there a good book that is focused on advanced OTP? On the internals of the BEAM and the hairier parts of the Erlang ecosystem? I can only find basic to intermediate introductory material. Perhaps I should just spend time reading the erlang website back-to-front...

1: I'm taking a small break from writing a parallel, distributed website crawler with homegrown HTTP client. Quite fun, very fast, to replace my first, rough prototype written in Rust. The hard part is accepting that most HTTP servers on the open Internet are hopelessly broken in a million ways.
> slice of revenue like Unreal does,

China (and some other countries). They won’t declare their full revenue and you won’t be able to find it out, it’s expensive to admin and there is hardly any legal recourse anyway.

Also their biggest clients would probably hate rev. share even more than this.
Is there an arb opportunity? Something as simple as someone in the US runs Kubernetes on Hetzner, then rents out the pods for anyone in the world to run their workloads on. They could restrict the workloads, e.g. firewall the outbound requests to a pre agreed list.
He is wrong; UEFI does specify FAT (section 13.3). It does not prevent supporting other filesystems, as well as other partition schemes or volume formats (nothing prevents UEFI from supporting LVM, for example), but only FAT and GPT are mandatory (i.e. "must"). Thus only FAT and GPT are implemented in 100% of shipped computers.

Yes, you can get Intel NUC and yes, it does support NTFS in UEFI. It is also compliant with UEFI (i.e. "can"). But is is completely useless, if you are shipping media, that should be bootable by 100% of UEFI-using machines. It is usefull, only when you are targeting such machines specifically.
Problem with FlixTrain is that they have "low priority". This means if there are delays caused by Deutsche Bahn (Which is basically always) FlixTrain must always give way to Deutsche Bahn trains to allow them to catch up.
Because the buyers are consumer hardware companies. This means a) there's an expectation that software works just like their hardware: they put it together once and then throw it onto the market. Updating or supporting it is not a particular consideration, unless they re-engineer something significantly to reduce costs. and b) the bean-counters and hardware engineers have more sway than the software engineers: lower cost, better battery life, features, etc on paper will win out over good software support over the life of the product.
There are better ways than blanket bans, but they are more expensive to implement and continuously maintain. The cheaper price comes from somewhere.

> Which is to say, you can reason.

I find this sentence a very concise phrasing for how I appreciate those with a degree vs. those without. I personally do not have a degree, but I far prefer working with people who do - simply because I can trust that they can reason.
> ethnicity

You got a source / proof of that? Because that's a pretty big statement. Nationality makes no sense either, but I assume you mean country of residence. Yes, companies like Hetzner may not let you rent servers if you're in a country they don't like or have bad experience with - I feel like, while that sucks, that could be understandable.

Banning based on ethnicity or nationality would mean that, if you're in Germany on a work visa and try to become a customer, they'd boot you based on your ethnicity. I don't think that's accurate at all.

> I guess old habits die hard

Not sure what you're implying here.
yeh, you do and most will want a degree at at least 2.1 even if you have a decades experience... unless you have the hallmarks of being rich e.g. went to some fancy school OR have a network that extends into a hedge fund

2-4 years on top of 4 years, plus many years before the business was acquired from Intel, which never managed to ship anything better than a noticeably worse 4G modem.

I think that counts as a pretty big failure.
Shelly seems very good so far. No need to connect it to the cloud at all, or use their app, since you can configure the via an onboard web UI (well, they'll still check for firmware updates when you connect them to Wi-Fi, but that's it). They can be controlled from Home Assistant completely without internet.

Of course, there's no guarantee for future products, but once they're set up they're not gonna change unless you go in and update their firmware.
I find it funny that the title is "the Arch Linux Way". I remember a time, as young man (in my 20s) when you couldn't reasonably expect a GUI installer for Linux. When Anaconda came out, that blew everybody's mind (at the time). It really depended on which distro-sphere you frequented as I know there were newer graphical installers that came before Anaconda, but were not as widely distributed.
I hate to disagree here Dan, but I tried revisiting this article a while back, and in spite of being posted only 8 hours ago, with a reasonable number of comments and up votes, the discussion was nowhere to be found in the first five pages of HN. That leaves me questioning if what you said actually takes place, or whether there is a mechanism for YC to make sure to sanitize the feed to their preference.
I mean a final exam at the end of the program covering not just a single subject but potentially anything you studied during the program. But in practice it has to be more restricted, that's why they ask him what he prepared: it could be potentially anything, but to practical reasons they have to restrict it to a few subjects. Still more fields than what is covered by a single course. Or at least this is my interpretation.
that was a very entertaining one!

This isn't remotely true. IFixit dropped the IPhone repairability score, does that impede you from buy one?

I have the impression only apple fans are reacting negatively to this news. Like I said, apple rather push for security than liberty, be it software or hardware. It's okay, it's a choice, idc about apple products so I'm pretty much neutral on this. I have made the choice for myself, I'd rather have liberty right now, but once I am too old to use that liberty, you can be sure I'll go to Google/Apple/whatever. It's not a dig, it's a real choice.
To be clear I'm speaking generally, not on an individual basis. Everyone has their own preferences–I personally don't discount it. But in my experience the average hiring manager does, because certifications are often seen as a thing you just pay money for to get a piece of paper. Of course college degrees are like that too, but the quality of "big state school CS degree" is usually somewhat regulated and "big state school 6 month CS certification" is often not.
There are quacks in particle physics as well. That does not mean the field is hopelessly broken, a scam, or a pseudo-science, as you originally claimed.

And it's not a conspiracy theory to question the fact that since we introduced low-fat dieting, obesity has gone from being a circus attraction to common place. "We're eating too much" does not explain it either, and you just need to have read a couple papers after 1995 to see this is exactly where mainstream science is going. Calling it a conspiracy theory is not scientific rebuttal.

Again, there is no discussion to be had where there's dogma, and painting everything with the same brush, and certainly not on a forum comment.
AFAIK Vim can do simple XML auto-fill given a DTD. (Never tried it myself though.)
Starmer wouldn't but Corbyn would have and people voted against him in a landslide.

Even now there are millions of people convinced that this is better just as there are millions still convinced that Brexit was worthwhile.

As HL Mencken said, Democracy is the theory that common people know what they want and they deserve to get it good and hard. The UK really did have an alternative and they chose to be ruled by psychopathic, greedy incompetent old Etonians.
Unfortunately, this study failed to measure cholesterol oxidization.

20 years ago, when this study started, it was still considered bleeding edge science to even consider that (or a proxy, particle size), and they recorded all of the wrong values

A quick glance through the paper does not indicate they measured particle size. It also seems they may have measured LDL/HDL/TG fraction, but then did nothing with it (which basically puts this paper at the technological level of the 1950s).

Neither total cholesterol nor LDL/HDL/TG fractions can accurately predict mortality, but particle size can. LDL-P et al tests are quickly becoming the norm as younger doctors enter the field, and their education is more up to date than their older peers.
For most indies prices shouldn’t really go up that much and for some others this is actually a discount (the 200k limit is now per game and not company and you already had to upgrade to pro after that).

For 90-95% if not more of their users the financial aspect is not such a big deal. The way they announced it and planning to implement (retroactively and how do they even track “installs”) is a way bigger issue.
I’m currently reading a book about the history of the British Empire and I think this temperament is older. When Australian and Kiwi troops were called to support Britain in the first World War, they were baffled by how much shit the Brits were ok with taking from their superiors, while the Brits were surprised how undisciplined and prone to protest their Australian and Kiwi counterparts were. You can look even earlier. While France at the end of the XVIIIth century had a bloody revolution, which did make some people in Britain think about their lot in life, they ended up mostly just talking things over, making some mild reforms and that’s it.

So I don’t think it’s blitz. It’s an older trait of avoiding internal confrontation (which doesn’t seem to extend to the Irish who on a number of occasions throughout British history decided to either leave Britain for greener pastures, or were more willing to be a bit more aggressive).

>> maybe we should do our best to put money in the pockets of the poorest people (regardless of the cost) and create the postwar great society that JFK and LBJ were championing

That's the exact opposite of what LBJ was championing. He stated that his "War on Poverty" was meant to shrink the number of people on welfare, not increase it. Referring to poor people, LBJ said he wanted to "make taxpayers out of them instead of tax-eaters".

The war on poverty was not intended to be a forever war.
Scientific reports is read in many places, including in medicine.

Regarding your 'low-impact' comment I have a few thoughts.
1. Although this is a large study, they do not find any world shocking new insights that are otherwise found in other studies. Cholesterol phenotypes are very well studied. Changing a guideline is usually not done based on a study of a single population.
2. They do not account for medication usage which confounds results.
3. They do not find a causal relationship between cholesterol and mortality, only provide an association.
Isn't the placebo effect considered genuine?
Tennis courts in my area need to be booked, so it is pretty simple: have you booked? I am guessing this is for tennis courts that are not booked but you just rock up. The only way I can think is computer vision and surveillance of the courts. But it could be lowish resolution. A single well positioned ring cam could probably cover multiple courts for "is someone playing" detection.
I had never realized how complicated it gets if two isolate languages just shared the script and some vocabulary, but independently developed syntax and pronunciation, until I took an introductory Chinese course. They insist "Akihabara" is obviously pronounced "chew-yeah, y'wan?(qiū yè yuán)", which hardly register as 3 letter noun to my ears.

And therefore, from your example, Japanese reading against Chinese reading, Chinese name in Japanese font, American name used for English against everything else, none of that is not just do not cross-validate but also seem somewhat fraudulent because everyone has some ideas about each of those strings.

(which, by the way, explains why made-up transliteration is fine; so long you're consistently a Linus Torvalds going by a close enough Ri-nasu To-baruzu, and no other versions exist, and it traces back to your passport, it cross validates as a coherent enough identity)

And Chinese names would be like "Ms. 3Jane Tessier-Ashpool" that seem to read "Saint-John Thomas Haywood" who's going by just "Junko Mary", nope, that isn't going to work on any official forms. I can only imagine how complicated it will be for them.
Labour also supports this.
Ironically it was the post-war experience where most of Britain's egalitarian institutions got built: state education and the NHS. "Homes for Heroes", a massive housebuilding program to recover from the bombing damage, including social housing owned by councils. People attribute this to the cross-class effects of the war: having a more expensive house in a better postcode wasn't something the Luftwaffe respected.

No, just as people post all those "good thing/bad thing" graphs that diverge in 1971 for the US, the big political scar across the UK is the Winter of Discontent (1978/79) and subsequent Thatcherism. Middle-class voters chose suppression of internal dissent and a retreat from social policy, up to and including effectively abandoning cities that weren't London to their own devices. ("Managed decline" for Liverpool, Glasgow etc)

But remember: the suppression of dissent is a popular policy. Nobody in the marginal voter class wants to think, engage, be challenged, or deal with real problems. They want to retreat into Facebook boomer nostalgia instead.

There's also another breakpoint in how the introduction of student loans and fees in the late 90s means that a large section of the middle class under 40 is much poorer and to the left - permanently, as a cohort effect, not an age effect. Hopefully this will push the pendulum back.
I think this is a somewhat strange way to put together a conclusion. A lot of cybercrime comes from India. A handful of cities are overrepresented in when it comes to software engineering talent. So it seems natural that a lot of people, both good and bad, would be concentrated there? It would be like a report that says "25% of financial crime in the US comes from New York City": well, duh, that's because all the financial activity happens there.
The madness begun when SPAs (single page applications) became fashionable along with simple REST APIs. This made the client experience smoother but the network waterfall could get a bit long. For a shop you might have a workflow like [click product]->[get /product]->[get /product/reviews].

Then GraphQL came along to solve the N+1 issue as let you query everything in one network call... but only over HTTP POST so it broke caching on CDNs.

Then edge workers/lambda came to solve that issue. You can also bring your data closer to the edge with replicated databases.

Most newer stacks like Nextjs, Nuxt or SvelteKit behave like a traditional server side rendered page at first and then dynamically load content like an SPA once loaded which is the best of both worlds. They'll also be using HTTP/3 to force-feed a bunch of assets to the client before it even requests them.

Ideally you'd have your data distributed around the world with GraphQL servers close to your users and use SSR to render the initial page markup.
The "percentage of global revenue for the whole parent corporation" was the genius bit in GDPR.

Otherwise Facebook could've just founded Privacy Violation Inc and done all the bad shit there. There's just one employee, Frank, and he's paid minimum wage.

Now if, for example, Youtube fucks up the GDPR fines are calculated on the global annual revenue of all of Alphabet Inc.
Absolutely. Pruning can decrease overall accuracy. The challenge is to prune as aggressively as possible while keeping accuracy as high as possible. It's certainly not an operation that is expected to have no effect.

It should be noted that there are methods for training the network to encourage these prunable neurons, eg sparsity penalties.

I've just ordered an adapter with the aim to do the same. Hue products have been great due to their quality (often at an extra expense I've deemed worthwhile) and their local-only functionality, but this change indicates it's time to stop buying their products and move things away from their control while it's still possible.

But to avoid being disrupted, I don’t think they have to have a product out today.

Also, as is always the case in these “established giant vs nimble newcomer” cases, they have more to lose than OpenAI, and thus have to be more careful than them in what they release.

For Google, that’s doubly so, given that they’re the portal to product search for half the world.

Let’s say they release a product that (rightfully or not) starts claiming a product of one of their large advertisers is expensive and doesn’t work? What if it stops mentioning some products because it ‘thinks’ nobody should buy them? How be confident their offering isn’t biased, racist or sexist?

I'm not in Britain, but I was before and honestly I prefer that sense of order and implicit trust. There truly are some things that go without saying and the internet breaks an awful lot of social rules.

I know the narrative is that the Brits are sinking into darkness (or whatever)... but they are a ray of hope for a world that has sane heirarchies and can satisfy consciousness.

IF you value keeping porn out of children's eyes and keeping philosophy managing experience, instead of expereince trying to manage philosophy... you could do worse than a sometimes-sarcastic and ironic, Brit.

The first step is to not live somewhere that muggings on the street are common. Prevention is the first solution, and all that.

Designing for Scalability with Erlang/OTP by Francesco Cesarini and Steve Vinoski
Sorry for the late reply! I'd probably have to dig pretty deep into my browser history, but we did some searching around, and largely looked for some benchmark papers to get an overview and from there could easily branch out to different implementations (from the citations).

Generally pretty good way to approach research papers in a new field I recall being taught, there's always some sort of "landscape overview" paper being published that can help distill down the SoTA and you can just follow the references.
Not a biggy. Let's have them implant backdoors everywhere, and then use it to acquire and publish all their data and their conversations.
