> But I think that the reduction of deaths due to car accidents is primarily driven by safety standards and better cars/roads.

Do we see that across the board? My impression is accidents are up due to distractions (i.e., phones). Youth are notorious heavy users of their devices. If their deaths are down it's not from safer roads.

OK, somebody issued a press release a few weeks ago announcing they sent the first sample to a customer for evaluation.
On a scale of 10, where 1 is "it looks like it might be theoretically possible" and 10 is "in stock at WalMart", this technology is maybe a 4 or 5.
It's an idiom and means "nearly impossible". There is no other usage.
Or, even simpler - replace it with the 1-2 word version of the message so that it's obvious and blatant. Like the 'They Live' movie. Long as it's a decent AI at reasonable speed, that sounds incredibly useful.

Edit: if those apple glasses take off, and we can live-edit text in the real world (if it's done, it'd probably be for sign translation etc) - those 'They Live' glasses could probably become an actual reality.
You’re taking my one added data point and extrapolating. I did not say that communes can’t work.

Seems to fit well for my intended purpose. I see no reason to avoid using the word.

Our understanding is that DocuSign does not have any legal authority, they prove the chain of custody/modifications using digital traces which our solution can also do, arguably in a more open way.
It's a hobbyist set of bands, and encrypting traffic is against the hobbyist spirit of it.

Part of the beauty of ham is being able to go along the dial and be able to observe the traffic. That would die with widespread encryption.

Your insulting of people who try to maintain radios for emergencies is unnecessary, too.
Why would you not unionize against your customers if a teacher? Clearly, some parents and their children are abusive and adversarial, leading to unionization being the only defense against abusive working conditions. Who else will protect you as a teacher? Administration and parents won’t. My apologies if this wasn’t clear from my comment you replied to.

In this context I meant “all but” == “everything except” i.e it is almost impossible. Are you saying it means the opposite of how I used it? I’m not certain what you mean.
That feedback came straight from my basal ganglia.

Though I'm guessing that was a pretty expensive domain name. So in lieu of changing it, on this issue I can be bought off.

But I will accept a bribe in the form of a medium sized T-Shirt to not make fun of you further. The T-Shirt must include an anthropomorphized gaussian curve in a math meme format and the curve-person must be clearly labeled as being name, "Kurt Osis."

Any Kurtosis logo must be either non-existent or super non-prominent so that I can at least pretend that it's a meme and then maybe tail into where it came from. A huge emblazoned Kurtosis logo on the back or front will be unacceptable (although Kurt Osis could have that logo on his or her or their shirt).
I LOVED THAT GAME!!!

I remember downloading it at the local cyber-coffee, for which I bought 2 boxes of diskettes! The owner saw me trying very hard to split apart the zipped game and told me "do you want me to burn a CD?". That's how I got my first CD game :D
Every time I see microservices, or Kafka, or Redis, ... I can't help being disappointed because we seem to be stuck reinventing BEAM/Erlang (and Elixir) 30 years after the fact, except with technologies that are slower, more fragile, more complicated to use and harder to deploy.

:sigh:
No. You can encode data digitally, per a specification, but you can't encode it.
Great news. I’d like to see them take down some restrictions for ISM bands experimentation as well. So many consumer devices operate at 2.4 GHz or 900 MHz so there’s a lot to be done there.FWIW I wouldn’t feel bad about doing very low power short term experiments on those bands, but I wouldnt publish anything on it based on what I understand of the current regulations.
I think that one of Effective Altruism's axioms - that all lives are equally valuable - is not accepted by much of the population.

The number of people that would rush into a building to save a family member is likely far higher than the number of people that would rush into a building to save a stranger.
That's an incredible generalization that may or may not be rooted in being Terminally Online.
My back of the envelope estimate is that the nomads make up around 1-4% of the Lisbon population. That‘s certainly not insignificant.

On the other hand, the young Portuguese have been leaving the country since 2009. Millions of them earn salaries in central and northern Europe. They left without any nomads coming to Portugal.

Shouldn‘t these millions benefiting from european freedom of movement justify a mere 20k nomads in Lisbon?

edit: Maybe it‘s not millions but only half a million.

I understand that the blacklist is probably just an example of things to hide, but it's interesting to note that if the filter was effective, it would block literally any and all content, including information criticizing and fighting against the nefarious media manipulation highlighted in this repo, but also the repo itself.

Does buying a home and letting people live in it automatically created shared dinners or coffee chats though? I can't say I've ever done that with my landlord. And yeah, my landlord doesn't usually live with me, but I've also had a fair share of roommate arrangements where we were friendly but not exactly friends. Certainly not eating meals together.

It's been well over 2 years since I tried it out & I thought the Elixir docs were really awesome when I did it. They had great walk throughs to getting started.

I also did Rob Conery's Elixir tutorial which was fun - https://robconery.com/course/take-off-with-elixir/#/ Absolutely loved the way he did this one as a story but it also didn't feel like I was sitting there forever waiting for him to get to the lesson either. Looks like it's out dated though.
iPads and iPhones at max volume are arguably more intrusive.
> their nihilistic thirst for efficiency

In practice this mostly means removing resiliency from the system so that it does in fact cost less in the successful steady state but is fragile in the face of any disruption.

This is why it worked so well for management consultants in the 80s and 90s: get the win right away, get paid, then après moi le déluge.
Yes you can buy drugs in prison freely. You can even buy cell phones but they have devices to detect cell phones in your cell.

Who brings them in? Possibly guards but visitors can also bring in a lot. Pretrial detention is tougher. The drugs are brought into prison and then smuggled into pretrial detention.

"Luckily for Jake, the FDA and IRB will protect him from being one of the 2 in 10,000 patients who died from a fecal transplant by denying him this potentially life-saving therapy so that he could have a 99%+ chance of dying from his cancer. I feel safer."

I sense insincerity. This policy seems to deviate from "first do no harm" in the case of someone with aggressive cancer, where it should be interpreted as "first get out of the way".

If you're looking for a great opportunity for a significant-if-non-unicorn SAAS business, please go back and read this series. There are many lives to be saved and livings to be made from improving the information about clinic trials available to patients.
To each his own. I find the meandering prose refreshing. Especially in an article like this where I’m predisposed to find the subject distasteful, it breaks down the defenses a bit and helps me to keep an open mind. When you get to that point, you find it’s not just about “how some TikTok manager games the system.”

Not that every article written in this way is a winner. But this one benefitted from the format imo
100% of the usage I've encountered as a native speaker is "all but impossible" = "almost impossible".

This stems from "all but" = "almost"[0]

I'm not sure how it makes sense to claim that an action is "everything except impossible." This is more in the classic sense of "the battle was all but lost" for a battle was practically but not actually lost. You could implement a queue in a Python server, but it would be technically awful to do.
As an American, it sure seems like a fair characterization. Many politicians are in favor of harsh incarnation conditions, and a majority of Americans seem to support this position.
Yep! I was there recently for work and we decided to go on a walking tour given by a local who grew up there, arranged by a coworker who was from there. Our guide took us through one neighborhood and commented that this neighborhood used to be bustling all day and long into the night, but now it is 95% airbnb. During the winter, most of the houses are completely empty. It's effectively a dead neighborhood, but the architecture is neat. Just 15 years ago, you'd walk through the neighborhood and experience a thriving night market ... now it's just somewhere you walk through to get to the next place.
Maps app for tourist attractions and parks?
I use an Android app 'You are here's that lets me take a photo of a map (e.g. at a large theme park) and then it shows a blue dot of my current location.

I find this really helpful, but it needs 60-90 seconds of manual effort to set it up after taking the initial photo. It's not hard: you just have to match two points on the photo map, to two points on a regular map.

The app has only 6-7 maps built in. If it had 100s or 1000s, covering most popular places that aren't on public roads, it would be amazing.

Is there anything like this for any platform?

Eh. I designed some kind of static type system for Erlang ~20 years ago. It wasn't very good and I changed job before I could test it on anything serious, but it was fun!

Glad to see that some people are doing a more serious job than me :)

(also, it's a small world – I know Giuseppe Castagna, wasn't aware that he was working on typing Elixir)
Buy Apple stock.
It seems to be an indicator for sure. A company that spares no expense on its "ultimate headquarters". Sprint did that in the dotcom days here with there world headquarters. Looked like a giant prison. It quickly was subleased.

Counterpoints: Apple so far.
Pronouns refer back to some previous noun phrase. Saying “she is coming over to my house later” would also be a weird and confusing thing to say without first establishing who you are talking about.

In technical writing you might say something like “The user will enter their password…”, where the pronoun “their” of course refers back to “the user”.

Ask HN: Are there valid Google Search alternatives?
Google Search is broken. I wanted a list of the most popular text editors for writers. I searched "best mac text editors" and of course all articles are about code editors, silly me. I then searched "best mac text editors for writing" and Google just spits out same results, a bunch of listicles about VScode vs VIM. Completely ignoring the "for writing" part of my Search (not excluding the term, just giving irrelevant results).

It has become so comically bad that I would be surprised there is not some cool startup out there trying to reinvent a Search that just works. Any hints?

Electronic signatures legally recognized in the United States are provided for in the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (“ESIGN”) and state and territory versions of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (“UETA”).

These are the regulations you’ll want to adhere to in order to provide parity with digital signature authority of traditional commercial providers (in the US at least).

Holy shit i'm super excited to hear that. I remember joining the forums (ferrous moon?) forever ago just to see if I could get help with some bugs and figure out how to get past the harder hacking missions.

From there when the game only sorta worked for me I figured "well someone else has to have made a quality movie hacking simulator" and the answer was "not really no". It seemed really clear that Onlink really understood what made these things fun, and gave them depth, so I hope you can pull it off.
“All but” = “almost” (which presumably historically was “all most”).

Like “all but dead”. Everything except dead, as in as close to death as possible without actually being dead (and certainly not the opposite of dead, as in perfect health).
If I turned this thing on, it would be obliged to hide its own existence from me, on the grounds that it's:

- potentially trying to spread misinformation

- sounds like clickbait

- contains politically biased content
88% being the marginal rate? I’m assuming if you’re paid €80,000 in a year you take home more than €9,600

The way you wrote this makes it sound like people only take home €9600 on €80000 and thats rather misleading.
> as that cc s get replace far more frequently than transit cards. The only person this really benefits is new users to the system that haven't figured out how to get a transit card yet.

I respectfully disagree. I’ve lost more transit cards than credit cards. And since the tap-to-pay on credit card also works with Apple Pay and Apple has the ability to choose which card to apply transit charges to, it gets the same one every time.
I have found the new system to be preferred. Plus, if every system implemented this, it makes it easier to travel and not worry about loading up a transit card that then loses its value (I have a few in my drawers from cities I’ve visited once).
This is so damn cool. How do you discover services in this environment (e.g., how does that weather balloon announce it has an image?)
IMO this is a weak criticism. It’s pretty common for eg. podcasts within the same network to promote a new podcast by pointing their listeners towards it. Is it annoying? Yes. Is it a Ponzi scheme? No.
I'm not saying you're wrong and Labour will change anything, but those quotes refer to different versions of the bill. Your second quote is for the initial draft, from 2019, while the first refers to the revised, recently passed, bill (among other things).

"People living together often butt heads" isn't even an out-there concept. (It's one reason I and others would argue that even communes should have individual living quarters—everyone having their own apartment in a shared building versus everyone having one room in a sprawling mansion. The former can have shared common areas, but the latter becomes one giant common area.)

And I'll throw another data point in the pile: I've had too many friendships soured by turning friends into roommates. In part because we were all immature and bad at handling conflict, myself included (ah, college!), and in part because there can be people in your life who you love and cherish but do not want to share a kitchen with. I'd imagine tensions would have been higher if only one of us was paying rent and the others were living there for free.
Cost per conversion is another one too. Technically an action too. :)

> The recent increase in interest rates surely had something to do with it.

Elon Musk said so... He said, repeatedly, he was worried about high interest rates (and they're not even that high: I've known 13%+ in my lifetime) and the effect on buying people cars with loans (which is: most of them).
Already said it to vert, but just wanted to say I wish you luck. Onlink was tapping into a niche that I think is super under explored and you clearly understood what was actually fun about it.
Yes. A lot of the social issues we have today point to needed overhauls of many institutions.

No business cares about whether it is open-source or not. They care about when things somehow end up in the court, there is clear understanding of a signed document and nobody has any question about it. More or less a guarantee -- probably not really a guarantee but good enough to hold in court. If your selling point is open source or "free" you have already lost.
I mean it's gizmodo. They're not known for hard hitting journalism.
> I have not found the over 40 engineers I've worked with to be like that.

Keep the survivorship bias in mind. It would make sense within that per theory that the engineers in their 40s who have both hard skills are soft skills are the ones to be the most likely to stay employed. Which is why those ones you end up meeting would be more like that.

And that would also align with the fact that many former engineers ended up leaving the field (whether voluntary or not) by that time in their life.

I strongly disagree. Interacting with manipulative content both harms you, whether or not you believe you are "immune", and only serves to give the author of the content more views and influence. In fact, this sort of content often relies on being able to engage people who are don't like it and speak against it.

There are no easy solutions here other than encouraging others not to engage and read manipulative content, or producing your own counter-manipulative content. Consider, no reasoned argument or exposing of techniques is going to make a Qanon victim change their mind. Arguing with them just further entrenches their belief as they see you taking it seriously.
An industry that fails to regulate itself is regulated by the government. We've had more than a decade to transition and literally zero progress. Everyone knew this day was coming since congress mandated the transition back in 2009. Crying about it doesn't solve anything — it's well past time to rip off the bandaid.

It is every page you visit. Any time you make an HTTP request it's logged.

VPN might do a little but browser fingerprinting is virtually impossible to negate unless you're using Tor on TailOS, and Google/CloudFlare will still know exactly who you are through a VPN, and so therefore so will government agencies.

Digital signatures are permissible under the current rules and in principle avoid this issue although the software tooling around it isn't there. Similar example: Debian packages are transmitted over HTTP, but this isn't a problem because they are authenticated with GPG.
They're pushing the app and offering free fries for installing the app, while the app has a "poison pill" where you agree to give up your rights. The title is pretty fucking dead on.
