Germany is lacking workers in all types of jobs, from least to most skilled. It's reliant on every type of immigration to fill those positions.

Sure, Germany doesn't particularly need criminal immigrants, but the criminality of immigrants is wildly blown out of proportion by racists, to put it bluntly.

This is corroborated by every statistic on crime. The country has been getting safer ever year for decades. It is also corroborated by looking a little bit into which violent crime specifically becomes highly publicized. There is a lot of attention on (violent) crimes of immigrants, while even gruesome murders of e.g. foreign exchange students by locals don't ever make it further than local news.

I'm German living in Germany, and the "problems" of immigration are a total pseudo-issue. It's 95% bullshit. I've never seen any such problem with my own eyes, yet it's one of the most publicized and discussed topics in this country. It's just strange, and I can't explain it any other way than by racism.

You don't know that. And this is one device that it really isn't possible to "bloat". Every byte and every bit in the voyager system needs absolute awareness. Bloat happens when programmers are unaware.
If you have underlying conditions which could be worsened by the physical damage from COVID, you should absolutely talk to your doctor.

Just like "freaking out" can cause unnecessary doctor trips, telling people they're seeking unnecessary treatment can cause negative health outcomes. There are many minority communities (most of which have almost no representation on HN, but anyway) have a myriad of different factors preventing them from going to or listening to doctors.

Ultimately you can't control if someone "freaks out" or not. But you can share information that someone might use to protect their health.
> Constantly worrying if some data is gathered you that could be used to gasp better target advertisements for you probably is affecting that mental state a lot more than you can to admit.

You're either confused or grossly misinformed. It's never been just about showing you ads.

The data collected about you can and will will be used against you in countless other ways. Data brokers sell your info to employers, landlords, and insurance companies. Your private data can be used against you in courtrooms, in divorce proceedings, in custody battles. The data apps collect can get you arrested or make you a suspect for crimes you had nothing to do with (or are only crimes in other states).

Companies are increasingly using your private data to determine everything from how much to charge you vs the next person for the same goods/services, to decide what they'll tell you their policies are vs what they'll tell someone else, and even how long to leave you waiting on hold when you call them.

The data being collected and sold about you never goes away. It will follow you for the rest of your life. You aren't allowed to know who has it, or what they are doing with it, or how accurate it is. You can never know what will prejudice someone against you and what is acceptable today may not be tomorrow.

If you think the data being collected about you is all about what ads you see, then you clearly haven't been paying attention. There is a multi-billion dollar a year industry around the buying and selling the most mundane details of your personal life because not only is your data "interesting", it's making people money hand over fist at your expense.
I'm sorry I have nothing smarter to say than OOF.
Honest Q: How much weed does she smoke? Because if she smokes a considerable amount then that is certainly more likely than the psychedelics to be a factor.
I completely agree, but the current public health system haven't caught up yet. A minimal amount of awareness may save someone's life and wellbeing.
I don't see any information about the company that is behind this. The only thing I was able to discern is that it seems to be based in Russia, FWIW.
Disruption of the ecosystem isn't always the answer. These things work on cycles and always have. The science paper shows a similar boom and bust in 2015, though they didn't identify a "heatwave" as the cause. I'm sure there is manmade influence here, we are pulling out $250mil in snow crab a year from those waters plus numerous other species that actually prey on the crab.

Look at a similar example we all learned in elementary school. When there is a mast crop of acorns, more animals such as squirrels, deer, and mice will survive that year and breed. In turn, the predators will have more to eat that year and increase their population as well. The overabundant prey species will eventually be starved and numbers will be decimated below the carrying capacity of the land due to a combination of starvation and over predation. The following year, predators will die off. Then the prey population will rebuild. If prey is in a rebuild cycle when a mast crop happens, effects will be multiplied.

Another example would be when multiple large cicada broods overlap and overwhelm an ecosystem with abundant food.

My overall point is that although the original paper was interesting, the evidence could have supported other conclusions other than the one that they settled on.
The mission remains to develop a cohort of light seeking entities. But this is all a metaphor. I cannot hope to comprehend, much less explain, the intricacies of the situation.

And if you have an argument to make, make it. Don't just say "other people made arguments, and trust me: they were really good".
I use Google DNS because it’s fast and reliable, and close to me. I’m not sure what else I’d use that’s more trustworthy. Certainly my ISP isn’t.

Their DNS privacy policy seems acceptable to me, as they’re not using it for ad data: https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/privacy

Google obviously has many concerns, but they’re trustworthy enough to follow their own privacy policy lest they get smited by governments.
Yeah that’s not how things work in Ireland.

This would entirely fall on the Irish taxpayer (me) to foot the bill.

Might write to my TD to specifically tell them to oppose the idea for the craic.
A fourth (fifth?) option worth mentioning is patdiff: https://opensource.janestreet.com/patdiff/ From what I remember, it sometimes (35%) made diffs easier to read, usually (60%) made no difference, and rarely (5%) made them harder to read. I used it a few years ago though, so I don't remember specifically what the problem was. The only reason I stopped using it was because I started using magit for git diffs.

The facts are that Deutsche Bahn AG was privatised in the mid 90s, though all of the company’s shares are being held by the German government. Legally speaking, Deutsche Bahn AG is an independent commercial entity, whose exclusive owner is the German republic.

If the person one party has called as an expert doesn't know what they are talking about, that's a wonderful opportunity for the other side to discredit them. If your expert doesn't know what they are talking about, you should not use their testimony (see above). If nobody in the world knows whether a witness or expert knows what they are talking about or not, that's functionally equivalent to them being right, and there is nothing anybody can do about it.
Have they commercialized any of their designs ? I don't think they are competing with Sifive yet!
A PMTile is basically a single giant file that can sit on a CDN somewhere, and the client can ask for a certain part of that file using the byte range header. It eliminates having to either have a server that is serving tiles, or paying through the nose for IO if serving static files (uploading literally millions of tiles costs a lot, and not just because of their size).

If you want to embed a map file in your app, you can already use MBTiles for that. A MBTile is conceptually like a PMTile, in a way, but it's a zip file full of the tiles with a SQLite database. MapBox/MapLibre already supports local MBTiles. You can serve them online, but of course you need something taking in the x, y z coordinates and serving back the tiles.

Most of/the entire value prospect of PMTiles is you can dump a single multi GB files on a CDN somewhere, and clients can just request a little slice of it. No servers or any logic required (besides a CDN that supports byte-range headers).

I am hoping that MapLibre native will one day will support sources that are PMTiles. `source: pmtile://my.cdn.com/bigOleFile.pmtile` and then it just works as if pointing at a traditional slippy tile source.
Germany is already at 18% and rising rapidly, there doesn't seem to be a problem selling EV cars even in larger countries. Norway is 80% but they have oil money, but even Sweden is at 32% and they are sparsely populated and not richer than Germany.

So I see no reason why banning non EV by 2030 in some countries is impossible, Germany and many similar countries are ahead of the curve needed to get there.
Is there anywhere that tracks this alongside new and used car prices? Are those softening?
It's important that the CARVac (mRNA vaccine) part of the treatment targets specifically (though how specific, I dont know) dendritic cells which are "professional" antigen-presenting cells in the immune system. During an immune response, dendritic cells gobble up antigens and present them on their surface to help train the immune system so it's more trying to hijack that (very important) part of the immune response rather than training the immune system (and resulting in the death of the "infected" cells) in the way we're used to understanding mRNA vaccines.
Where the heck did all those structures inside complex cells come from?
> The west bootstrapped modern civilization

Bootstrapped? You mean raped, pillaged, exterminated and polluted.

> Other countries dont need to because cleaner technology is available now.

'Available'? You mean poor countries have to pay rich western countries exorbitant prices to use 'clean' technology when they could simply use abundant and cheap coal, oil, etc to develop?

You act like we are trying to give underdeveloped countries free technology.
No what developing regions like india, asean, africa, etc should be doing is pumping out coal, nuclear, gas, oil, fossil fuel plants and improving the lives of their people.

Can anyone recommend a reconciliation application they've had a good experience with? My current work place rolled their own recon service. Is this the norm?
Maybe some lawyer can explain to some complete noobie. I thought you always have the right to not answer any questions until you have your lawyer present, and that you have the right to that one phone call to a lawyer. My knowledge comes entirely from movies and novels. I understand that there could be exceptions, but what is the basic rationale of the exception here? The UK is a country of laws, and generally the laws are not absurd. What is the extend of this exception? Can the information they get from you be used in a court of law to incriminate you?
The various "bailouts" over the years (2008 financial crisis, COVID stimulus, PPP loan forgiveness, student loan relief) have left me pretty cynical. I paid my bills and didn't get "bailed out". What can I do to profit from this?
If you were one of those 37 you’d probably want that info to be public to help find another job.
This is a big claim, and I'd be interested to hear more.

It isn't entirely surprising given that the heart is in constant motion, unlike skeletal muscles which can repair while uncontracted.
This is just based on what I personally observe while I drive around. But, I can't help thinking we are in a similar situation to the 2007-2008 housing bubble burst. I see a ton of people driving around in cars that have me asking, "How can they afford that?" The number of people driving exotic and luxury cars is higher than I've ever observed before.
Tom Emmer: Crypto's dream speaker
Historically people in colder climates (where they needed fire the most) would use wool, which is naturally flame resistant. As a careless kid I escaped getting burned at least twice due to this fact. First incident was when I held my socks really close to an open flame. Second when I overturned a space heater onto a neighbor's rug. In both cases the wool fabric carbonized slowly instead of catching fire. (Of course, the neighbor was not happy; but a house fire would have been much worse.) It is unfortunate that wool has become rarely used in modern society, as we now have to deal with the trade-off between flammable fabrics or potentially harmful fire retardants.

It's not hard. It uses minimal resources. It can be enhanced with ad-block lists similar to pi-hole so your whole network benefits.
I'm sure there have been acts, maybe the Covert Human Intelligence Act, or Investigatory Powers Act, which listed departments who were given a free run at some fairly serious levels of surveillance in the UK, departments like the Food Standards Agency of all people.

I can make my bed to some extent with a very few small, human-resource limited departments conducting surveillance. But we seem to be growing an entire public sector willing to recreate the Stasi and its wider influence. I'm not sure what the fix is, it isn't particularly a new phenomenon and it only ever seems to expand.

Wikipedia does the same thing, but I assume you would know that. What am I misunderstanding?

Also, if it makes your PDF reader execute arbitrary remote code, isn't that a serious risk?
Oh, it's a problem. I just think the only solution that isn't just "handing the future to a different taskmaster" is for the public to wake up, understand this is a problem, and choose to decentralize. Use the net to interpret censorship as damage and route around it. I think we're on the same page here.
If you’re in an algorithms class addressing either partial or 0/1 knapsack (or even a computation theory class getting into if and when to break out a SAT solver), listen to the professor and not anyone talking about AI.
That's what a trial is for. There should still be a trial!

The alternative seems worse. If there's never punishment for lies every unscrupulous person called to testify will provide whatever is in their best interests instead of providing the truth.
Neat, since Qualcomm seems intent on producing unusable chips.
It's not just in CPUs. The government stipulates this in munitions that are sold / given / whatever to other countries, including allies. They agree to send bombs with guidance accurate to 10m, then send some bombs capable of guidance accurate to 1m, but with that capability locked out.

Source: I interviewed for a job attempting to hack these munitions to re-enable the functionality, as a cross-check that they were locked out well.
What makes your ideas great? Are they solutions to someone's problems? If so, how do you know that the problems actually exist? Does an MVP show that the solution actually works for the early adopters?

<--- You are here.

Will this problem still need solving in 10 years? At what price point can you provide this solution? Is the market for it large? Does it have a network or viral effect? Can you secure enough resources to develop, operate, and widely market it? Do you have 3-4 ideas on how to pivot if the mass market will need something materially different? Do you agree to work longer hours for less pay to pursue a very moderate chance to make it big? Do you realize that the chance to fail or fizzle is larger than the chance to make it big, even if you make zero mistakes?

<-- Congrats, you have a viable startup at this point.
> iteration to an idea

I do 100% agree on this, but... I've never seen any discussion of the importance of ideas that wasn't exclusively referring to initial ideas.

So I don't think there's really any risk of overindexing; people who discuss this from a pure ideation perspective aren't talking about iteration - at least not in a way that's realistic. The op talks about "linear ideation" and "restarting flywheels" as what seems like esoteric metaphors for iteration but they're entirely focused on pre-build/pre-execution ideation.
Liability. This is a perverse incentive structure, but it's not an easy problem.

If people die due to your inaction, you are not liable.

If people die due to your actions, you very much are.

Even a minor issue can end up being harmful. If you have a cancer treatment that's safe and effective, but you haven't fully vetted it and it turns out to be less effective than another available option, then your drug would cause harm.

It's safer to test these things, otherwise you get sued, go to jail, your company folds, and nobody gets cancer treatments anymore.
I rarely feel like tests make it easier for me to make changes later. Types do give me that feeling pretty reliably, though.
Because the person I was replying to specifically asked if you could pair the two and power/update a stand alone display with just NFC delivered power?

The devices for updatable price labels based on eInk already exists and I mention it in my post, it's powered by a low self discharge battery. Those IIRC use a special radio fob that connects to your phone instead of using NFC but you could probably do a largely drop in replacement for the radio circuit with NFC but that still doesn't solve the issue of updating the eInk screen. That's an order of magnitude more power required.
> If they bothered to mount extra connector they didn't bother to remove rest of the parts

This is not true, as a rule, even if it is true here. Sibling comments point out that the void left by the missing connector would be tricky to fill.

There are a variety of other reasons that it might not be worth their time to change or omit the $.08 connector, but it would be worth their time to remove e.g. the expensive $3 voltage regulator IC.

But to your point, the same logic may be applied to the sticker-vs-PCB tradeoff, and it may turn out that they are identical. Someone disassembling them and comparing the circuits would be able to determine between the two cases.

Visualizing Optimization Algos
A lot of the discourse around this phenomenon seems to center "predatory lending" but it has never looked like that to me, and it seems like a defective argument along the lines of "7 companies caused climate change". The lenders don't come to your house and put a gun to your head. The American consumer is a hedonistic buffoon who wants a gigantic truck, regardless of the fact that their job as the assistant manager in the service department of the truck dealership can't support the $2000/mo all-in cost. Mr. Consumerbot expects the government to suppress fuel prices and regulate insurance prices and bail him out of the loan, even while he spends the remainder of his free time railing against taxation.
Shared this with my son who really enjoyed reading that others share his optimism about our species. Very well said, thank you. You've impacted the outlook of a young man trying to figure out his place in the universe, who often times struggles with noticing the rare opportunity it is to be gold dust peppering a radio telescope.
I use it all the time when coding.

- Hints for Leetcode problems without giving me answer

- Ask it questions for syntax, or how to do something broader (e.g. how to setup hot reloading for Elm)

- Ask whether some package exists (e.g. list options for PDF processing in C#)

- and more!

I am not using a VSCode plugin; they feel cramped, I am not using it to refactor existing code, and they tend to not be able to comprehend the whole codebase as context anyways (maybe I am wrong and they can?)
I get that, and I have various thoughts on the matter, but I don't wish to divulge this thread into a debate about the morality of the matter.

Regardless, there have been an absorbent amount of studies on this subject, with various inconclusive results.

Can weight-loss drugs save the aviation industry (some money)?
Seedbox providers seem like a pretty bad idea if you are based in a jurisdiction with strong copyright infringement laws or precedent of prosecuting piracy.

Many of the servers are operated in locations which have cooperation agreements with law enforcement and authorities in other countries.

Go after a bigger provider, obtain records of their customers and you have “caught many people in the act” — you get access logs with IPs to control panels, any other logs in infrastructure (all those things they may do to make it easier to use a seedbox are also potential evidence of crimes committed), payment instruments to trace you.

You’re paying £15 and gambling a bit that this won’t happen, or that the Crown Prosecution Service and Police don’t care. But the UK keeps revising the Digital Economy Act, and changing/increasing the penalties for copyright infringement, so they’re spending valuable legislative time on this (somewhat indicating it may become a prosecution priority). There’s always the specter of a coordinated, multinational operation to disrupt piracy because it’s a great headline that authorities care about intellectual property.

If you are caught and they do make an example of you, the penalties (a criminal record; a significant fine like £50,000; or even a short jail stint) seem to dramatically “cost more” than the savings.

It might be worth understanding what logs your seedbox provider keeps external to the system they’re renting you, what’s on the box itself, what duration all these logs are kept for, how long do they keep records of your payments (the authorities will inevitably argue this is a criminal enterprise and you’re supporting organised crime).

But perhaps you’re paying through cryptocurrency from wallets the clean side of a tumbler/mixer and you only ever access this all via VPN and have perfect OpSec!
