I am with you on that one. You don't have to have an opinion so close to an event unfolding. Ideally, we should be able to wait, let the authorities investigate, and then finally get the findings to be able to make an opinion. But today's news cycles are not that long.

In this case though, it's not about what to believe about the story. But, it's about how much caution or verification NYT should have done before publishing anything. They used the wrong image for the hospital, they changed the headline multiple times without telling anyone, they still haven't admitted they got the first draft wrong. You see an opinion piece from them talking about both sides as if anyone could have made those mistakes.

I personally think they should have exercised caution or atleast acknowledged how things change with flux. If you read something on twitter, you are likely to gravitate towards posts which share your opinion, you would rarely change your mind. With NYT and the credibility/influence they have, they have the power to change and shape opinions. That should carry somewhat extra caution. Probably better if they are late but can verify whatever they are publishing.
Is efficiency the most important metric here?

Is bothering people who care about efficiency more important than the basic rights of those that dont?
> And like usual, USA goes its own way because a private actor pushes its way through lobbying and force it on everybody.

The US went its own way from the beginning with CCS Type 1, because the CCS participants decided that going with the existing local Level 2 AC connector as the basis for CCS was the better option in each market, despite J-1772's worse latching mechanism and pin geometry.

Nothing about the NACS transition was done via political lobbying. If anything the political pressure on Tesla to adopt CCS is what made them cave in and open their connector rather than keeping it proprietary, which led to the other automakers moving away from the politically-favored connector to Tesla's to gain access to their better charging network.

NACS is as similar to CCS2 as CCS1 was. Same protocols and signaling, just a different physical connector. Tesla adopted the CCS standard with their connector instead of continuing to use their proprietary protocols.

Cable size has nothing to do with the NACS spec. Implementers are free to use whatever cables they used previously. You are mixing up Tesla's Supercharger implementation with NACS. Tesla uses similarly thin liquid-cooled cables on their CCS2 chargers in Europe.
Same here that's why I don't write articles for wikipedia anymore. It is always the same old clique that decides what is worth or not. We are loosing information on the resource that was supposed to make it available for all. All of that in the name of ego back scratching.

> Captions in the YouTube video that the counterclaim quoted read that [...] Galanakis had been “kidnapped then raped by the NPD all night.”

> In two decisions in May and September, U.S. District Judge Stephen Locher dismissed almost all of the officers’ claims. Locher deemed most of Galanakis’s captions as “non-actionable statement[s] of opinion” or “rhetorical hyperbole,” which are both considered non-defamatory. This included the caption where Galanakis said he was “raped” by the police department, which Locher said was “distasteful,” but non-actionable.

False claim of rape is distasteful but non-actionable? I don't get that.
His proposal is directly based on the book "Dolarización: Una Solución para la Argentina" (Dolarization: A solution for Argentina) [1] by Nicolas Cachanosky and Emilio Ocampo, two great economists. You may not be on board with Ocampo and Cachanosky's idea but saying that Milei is only advocating for this because he's a "jackass" is pretty stupid. There is theory behind this.

If this guy wasn't born, the society wouldn't be worse off by much, the oil would still be found, but maybe few months later.

That's the type of Jeff Bezos' wealth, it's mostly "discovered" rather than earned.
Those people who bought his products, invested in his company or otherwise increased his wealth, thought that he deserves the money, as they got something valuable in exchange. I don't think the opinion of an unrelated party matters that much.
> all that outrage is just meaningless virtue signaling

Virtue signalling is when you do something menial or deferent to target a specific population. Like when you'd modify a film to remove certain flags or introduce story-beats for an overseas audience.

Outrage is not really virtue signalling, especially when the "virtue" is a anti-American trait being exploited by a company outside American jurisdiction. People are justifiably angry, and expressing that because they know their vote isn't worth anything as citizens of certain world powers.

Huh, can you explain that a bit more for a rust noob like myself?

1. How does it know how to create your Error enum? I guess it's from the #[from]?
2. What happens if your method tries to return something that's not an io::Error or a gz::Error? I guess the compiler catches that?
3. How would you handle doing this for multiple methods in the same file? Would you rename your enum to DecompError or something to avoid conflicts?

Hello HN Community,
I'm excited to share with you Bright Byte, a newly launched weekly newsletter that dives into the latest updates from the tech, startups, and AI realms. It's designed for anyone who wants to stay informed about the rapid advancements in these sectors without having to comb through countless sources.
It's an important distinction.

Non-profits are not obligated to hide/spend their profits. They're allowed to accumulate fabulous wealth if they want (see, for example, Harvard's $50B endowment).

Non-profits, in theory, serve a societal/community purpose rather than existing to make a profit for their shareholders. You're not wrong that some of these lose sight of these purposes in favor of a bunch of MBAs telling them "growth! growth! growth!" (and the CEO salaries that come from such growth), but it's not because the IRS requires them to.

The problem isn't tax law; it's the "everything must always grow or it's a failure" economy we've set up.
You used deficit the first time, debt the second.

The deficit is currently around 2 trillion dollars, so Bezos' wealth is around 7.5% of the deficit (if it were fully liquid, which it's not).
I launch FF in a shell function that first calls BleachBit and calls it again when FF terminates. Not sure if that would help your case but it works for me. The reason I do this from a shell function is to redirect the output of FF console to a ramdisk just in case I needed it but did not have it prior to seeing something odd.
My sense is that the supposed controversy over content is cover for the fact that the show never did well. It just wasn’t funny or particularly entertaining.

Comments on China could be controversial, but AI? That doesn’t make sense.
Not sure why you are preoccupied with this being a video - that’s just the medium. There is already, rightly, a lot of scrutiny with how much law enforcement is allowed to get away with and the public is very receptive to this message at the current moment. This information combing to light is enough to effectively make a case to the public.
This is a ridiculous take only justifiable by those who are juniors. I'd agree that Senior+ the titles are mostly meaningless, but the distinction between a junior (Not able to complete full projects independently) and a senior (Able to lead teams / able to solo complete projects) is very needed.
The only thing I've ever watched on Apple TV+ are baseball games (when my team is playing), even though I have a free subscription.
That's interesting. Seems to be made for CI, testing, not inside a single production though.

> The only counts Locher has not dismissed are defamation and invasion of privacy against the officers related to Galanakis' claim that Winters had been convicted of domestic abuse. “Nathan Winter of the Newton Police Department convicted of domestic abuse after beating up his ex girlfriend,” Galanakis wrote in one caption. A subsequent caption stated that Winters had “beat the shit out of” his girlfriend. Though Winters had a protective order filed against him, the counterclaim states that he has not been charged or convicted of domestic abuse. Locher agreed that on this basis claims of defamation and false-light invasion of privacy for both Winter and Wing (because of the implication that Wing did nothing to discipline Winters) can proceed.

Most important part of the article as far as I can tell. Everything else was dismissed.

These two cops are quite disgusting, especially Winters. I remember seeing this video when it originally went viral, and the 19-year-old seems calm and coherent. The only reason I think you could mistake him for drinking is his normal speech pattern has a kind of 'slur' to it. Nothing he did seemed wrong, just what they initially pulled him over for re: his headlights, which he had a consistent explanation for. They're just power hungry cops who wanted to fuck with someone.
> News organisations can't be expected to verify every claim

If a literal terrorist organization tells you something happened, and you run with it with zero independent confirmation, you are not a news organization. You are a glorified mouth piece of, again, a literal terrorist organization that murdered over a thousand civilians in cold blood including children the week before. Just shrugging off this insane breakdown of the most basic tenants of journalism from The New York times is insane to me.
I love that the space platform mechanics basically reward super dense spaghetti.
> breaking changes in widely-used packages are disrespectful to your users

No they are not.

The flask team announces changes, deprecates things and uses major versions correctly. The major version change also doesn't happen frequently.

If a package absolutely requires a certain version, IT CAN SPECIFY AS MUCH in its requirements. If it doesn't, tough luck.
They need something like "wikipedia adjacent" to allow for inclusionism without authority - it's not like they're limited by the size of a bound encyclopedia.

That's great news. I know quite a few nurses where I live, and they are being fed the anti-union propaganda from their employers. The hospital industry around here is getting nervous, they have been quite comfortable for a while. Unfortunately, the nurses don't seem to want the union, even though it will practically double their wages overnight.
See my sibling comment about income and capital gains taxes. By what mechanisms should they be taxed in your opinion, taking into account these limitations?
Thank you, the paper you cite makes clear claims: that the environmental (climate change, air pollution, etc.) impact should be priced into the cost of petroleum based fuels. The paper states that 92% of the subsidies to the oil & gas industry are because of the price of fuel doesn't reflect the societal costs related to pollution.

The interesting finding presented in the paper are:

[p. 9] "Underpricing of fossil fuels is still pervasive across countries and is often substantial, especially for coal."

[p. 9] 18% of these subsidies go to gasoline

[p. 9] "The power generation sector is the largest recipient of subsidies"

[p. 10] "By region East Asia and the Pacific accounts for 48 percent of total energy subsidies"

[p. 7] China and India together had 3.4 Million premature deaths due to air pollution in 2020 (The USA had 0.1 Million)

From an economic efficiency point of view, I can understand that prices are important, but wouldn't we have to take account of the benefits of using petroleum fuels too? Like allowing developing countries to feed their populations? They clearly can't do this with solar powered agriculture and solar powered shipping.

What real companies? Tesla did at the spurring of Musk, and then quietly dumped all of it. A few other "investment" companies occasionally make some statement that amounts to a pump and dump.

>it no better or worse than ANY OTHER SPECULATIVE THING

Bunching everything together as "speculative" doesn't somehow make them equal. Buying land is not the same as buying an NFT. Buying shares in a bank is not the same as buying Bitcoin.

Bitcoin's entire history has been crime and fraud. It temporarily duped the mainstream, but having conned main street it has returned to its crime roots.

What do you mean by "at the cost of type erasure"? Isn't type erasure an attribute of a programming language and not something that a library has control over?
It is a super-useful guide for creating mobile SDKs that really nail it. Like, yeah, it tells you that simplicity in integration is key, and also that you need to keep data security in check and stay on top of what's trending in the mobile world.

You should always have more than a single certificate for your domain honestly.

Cloudflare for example, tries to optimize certificate delivery (and have backup certificates available for you just in case a CA needs to revoke theirs).

Also, on distributed systems its less safe to share private keys between the various frontends.
Oh, noted. I guess Rust uploaded old releases to GitHub at some point during 2020, then.

I loved the Daily Show, but I was sort of lukewarm in the new format (only watched a few of the early episodes). The panel discussions didn’t really seem to land, and I feel like they rarely do. The interviews were really good though.

When I saw The Problem was announced I had a feeling from the beginning this was not a match that was going to last. Apple TV produced shows have this common thread between them, a very Apple-y je ne sais quoi. Inoffensive, progressive, usually more optimistic than gritty. You can feel the top down production, and there is certainly nothing auteur on offer.

Jon has enough clout and self respect he doesn’t need to kowtow. Which is great for him. But either way, Apple gets what it wants because whatever he wanted to say about China will never be said (and I agree about some other comments that this isn’t about AI - I don’t see Apple taking such a hard editorial line there).

I do wonder what comes next for Jon. He has emerged back on the scene and I’m not sure I see him retreating back into retirement after such a short and anticlimactic stint.
I think better terms should be describing general expert/domain expert/company expert.

I'll say it takes 3 to 18 months to become a domain expert at a company depending on the scope, if you are fresh out of school. Less if you already have relevant experience. And then years to become company/subject expert, and those you have to pay to keep them.

> Before the advent of the internet this stuff wouldn’t be worth the paper it is published on.

Are you seriously suggesting that before the internet no one published or wrote about highly niche or uninteresting subjects? That you couldn't find mundane facts from history or nature written down somewhere?

> Edit: what would be really cool is if I could leave a note on a page saying "hey, I visited this page and I'm looking to connect with other people interested in the Peruvian Foovius Barivius Moth"... ping me

No, that wouldn't be cool at all. What we'd then have is a social network of people competing for some kind of points or popularity, or to prove who was the most expert or most interested in the subject. And we would see the quality of the articles degrade, and suddenly no one wants to work on the unpopular stuff. And people like you would be left wondering, "gee, why is it no one wants to write unpopular articles for this encyclopedia?"

It really depends, in smaller companies you often have to wear multiple hats - I've had a combined systems administrator/programmer roles, worked in embedded systems programming, done devops roles, now I'm a technical manager.

The majority of "devops" people I have worked with can't program their way out of a paper bag.

Meanwhile back in the 1990's we had system administrators that knew how to program in shell, C/C++, Perl, use a CI/CD system, and debug shared library symbol issues with ease that would leave your average devops (or even web or Java developer) blushing.

What you are referring to as "system administrator" today, is not what it was in the past. And what you are referring to as "devops" today ... is not all that.
GNUCash is great, it definitely had a learning period for me.

My biggest gripe is not with GNUCash but with the damn banks. The fact there isn't any API to download.u transactions is infuriating. My bank makes me go through so many clicks to download one file and I have many accounts to pull.

It's so frustrating to just simply get my data.

Also, the ofx format doesn't support splits. So there's simply no way to import transactions that are already auto-split (think interest charges).
They shouldn't post anything until they have some sort of third party confirmation, even a simple photo would have shown that the hospital was not even touched. It would have been obvious that there were no 500 civilian casualties etc...
