Title is a bit misleading, because this *gate is not about faking ecology, and trying to pass certification in artificial conditions, as dieselgate was, but simulating fake failures instead. The company hardcoded algorithms that would report failures of parts that work correctly (like a compressor), if it detected that train has been repaired by another company (based on location readings), and stop the train from running
No, they would not. It would be entirely a civil matter that would be resolved in litigation.

This is really clean! I'll definitely be using it as a reference for IaC done right. Congrats on the migration.
Endless? The reason there is a shortage of a given profession for most jobs isn't a lack of talented people, it's a lack of job opportunities due to the aforementioned lack of competition resulting in fewer people entering the field. When you only have two or three competitors in a given field, they need fewer people to do the same work.

Do you think when T-Mobile acquired Sprint, it created more jobs than the individual companies for experts in cellular networks, or fewer? Do you think it's just a coincidence that after that acquisition was completed, T-Mobile immediately started raising prices?
Why would a human get a job when they have to pay income tax?

transforming the recurrence to a matrix then applying the matrix as a transformation of itself can be expressed as multiplication. but AAAAAA doesnt really save you much to get the 6th fibonnaci number. the power is in powers of the matrix. Now you can say
AA = A^2 , and A^2A^2 = A^4
still not computationally helpful, but
A^4A^4 = A^8
A^8*A^8 = A^16
...32
...64
and then you've got something useful.

not that I'm exactly hopeful or that I think this indicates wisdom in Elon's move, or that he will be successful, but it -would- be good to have a social media site that isn't advertising supported, so that the users aren't the product. Aren't we always on about that on this site?
We have yet to find a single body of liquid water in the universe that we can confirm is devoid of life.

100% of worlds where Earth-like life could survive and that we have explored have an intelligent species living on them.

There isn't a single star system we have ruled out from having intelligent civilizations.

While we can put some bounds on things (some worlds are inhospitable to life as we know it, we're almost certainly the only intelligent species in our solar system at this time, we're likely the only intelligent civilization to inhabit our planet in at least the past few hundred million years, there probably isn't a recent galaxy-spanning empire in the milky way, there's likely no civilization actively trying to communicate with us, etc) there is absolutely no evidence that life as we know it is unusual either in terms of what sort of life is out there or how much.
Ask HN: Coding and the Mystical
I learned Prolog this year and it has been nothing short of a mystical experience. In some sense its spoiling other programming languages for me. I marvel how much can be done with so little. I've border line forgotten how to think in loops and mutable states, I want to see everything as unification and resolution, and when I use other languages I'm looking for Prolog-esque solutions. My ordinary thinking has changed too. I find myself wondering "why my backtracking didn't find that solution", and so on. There is a sense in which I actually believe that if something simple explains many things it must be "fundamental" in some way -- or at least partly isomorphic to something fundamental.

What code or maths have you found transformative in this sort of way?
That was my thought too, but the blogpost specifically mentions competing without the HEV suit. Which does cause Gordon to move slower.

Because in Sweden it’s not the government that micromanages the job market, it’s the industry and the unions that does so together, so paying taxes is irrelevant.
What are you talking about with "shoestring budget?". Over £2bn was spent on electrifying the GWML, nearly £20bn spent on the Elizabeth line (which included further upgrades on the GWML), and completely new trains on nearly every service were bought (at extreme cost). There must have been >£5bn spent on this line in the last decade. Per mile, it is probably one of the best funded lines in the world.

GWML is having constant maintenance problems. I don't think this is a budget problem, I think it's NR totally dropping the ball on keeping on top of stuff. NR is extremely poorly run and wasteful; I know many people who used to work for them but left to rejoin via a subcontractor (at a hugely increased cost to NR), to do the exact same job, because NRs payscales are extremely concrete so they constantly lose vital people to this - this isn't a budget problem as they're actually paying way way more for the same staff this way.

Subcontractors are also eating them alive because they have no senior, experienced management (see above problem). You have people basically straight out of uni "project managing" subcontractors for 7 or 8 figure contracts, completely clueless.
Yes, their moderation is not 100% and companies can be sued for any reason. AFAICT there has not been a finding in these lawsuits, it’s probably not a smart idea to use the existence of a lawsuit as evidence that something nefarious has happened.

And also yes, I am using evidence of how they spend their money as an indication of their intent. It’s the embodiment of putting their money where their mouth is.

Outside the obvious issue in this article I found the following statement horrendous:

Honestly this is half the reason I use Powershell for everything. Bash-like experience but everything returns objects.

It's a messy, hairy, awful language. Consistently inconsistent, dynamically-typed in the worst ways, "two googles per line" complexity, etc.

But for the convenience of being able to combine shell-like access to various tools and platforms combined with the "everything is a stream of objects" model, it can't be beat in my experience.

And you can still do all the bash-like things for tools that don't have good Powershell wrappers that will convert their text-streams into objects. Which, sadly, is just about everything.

There are certainly bottlenecks created by insufficient competitors resulting in insufficient pay to incentivize people, but at a certain level of expertise, there is also a bottleneck created simply because all people are not equal in their capabilities.

The T-Mobile example is irrelevant to the specific problem of there being very advanced fields requiring a ton of hard work that not all people can do, much less overcoming numerous real life obstacles like logistics of obtaining the necessary education.

Just to show how hard the problem is, you have a top down, well oiled dictatorship country with 1.5B people with a lot of purchasing power unable to reproduce the chain of knowledge needed to create the top end microchips after decades.

On another forum, someone who was stuck on one of the trains commented that staff were just walking past the carriages not attempting to convey any information to those stuck on board, which compounded the frustration.

Railway staff will complain about the people who got off the trains because we don’t have a customer focussed railway in any way shape or form. Staff are 300% safety focussed and will expect passengers to spend an indefinite amount of time on the carriage with no food, water or toilets.

It’s simply unacceptable for 7 trains (1000-5000 people) to get stuck on an extremely busy and well-funded part of the railway network in our capital city and there not be an army-style, rapid-response team dispatched to help the vulnerable. Senior management know that the British will just put up and shut up - we should be much more American in these situations.

A report will be produced, “lessons will be learnt”, then the gradual degradation of our railway will continue.

Edit: for context, regarding high expectations: a 23 minute journey in rush hour on this route is around £27 ($34)

My ggggg*1000 grandfather, a eukaryote, really knew how to live. He didn't have hands - he had to DREAM and use his MIND to make snowmen. Kids today with their "hands" are desensitized to the needed mental work of imagining how a snowman would look.

I'm not saying this argument automatically wins. But I think the two sides need to define terms. What's "real" and "authentic" for one generation was a huge stretch for another, and will be rote/boring for another. Is there a coherent dividing point? I personally don't think so; I would like to hear an attempted definition, though.

Real = Struggling to manage your horse to plow the fields so you and your family doesn't starve? Being a master horseman and ploughman? Breeding sturdier horses and selling them so you're rich, and everyone can easily plow? Replacing horses with engines+plows, with heated cabins, which activates way more land, to grow more food for the world? Running a retro amish-style farm on the weekend where you go back to using real horses to plow again?

^^^^ Where does "real/genuine" come in and then leave in that sequence? And who are you to say where other people should spend their time within it?

Well, any serious phone reseller / refurbished only sells phones that are still getting security updates: And this one will get that for a long time.

It’s also going to be real easy for refurbishers to repair these, either by picking parts from other old ones or by buying replacement parts, hence even a slightly broken one may still be worth money.
Or we could all simply enjoy the benefits of capitalism and market competition instead.

Bank apps seem to be a bottleneck in many aspects of phone development.

Valve is a Linux and Arch MVP, and as a die-hard Linux user, my appreciation for them is immense. Without Valve's efforts, Linux user base would be a lot smaller because a lot of people would be using Windows. I wouldn't be able to game (since I am a Linux-only house) without a complicated windows VM setup. So just the fact that they support Linux with their proprietary software, and the fact that they used Arch for the Steam Deck (giving strong commercial incentive to game devs to support linux or at least proton, which IMHO is good enough) is a big contribution to the community. They also made the Steam Deck fully hackable by the owners, so you can do neat things with it including running all your games from some other store if you want.

But on top of that, they contribute a ton of things that benefit even people who never touch Steam. Valve slings graphics stack and GPU code, and of course Proton/Wine, Gamescope, and a handful of other things. They are awesome about upstreaming stuff, and when it's not upstreamable (say for example a new or standalone project) they tend to open it.

How do you alert the users that are running the problematic software and haven't yet updated it? The very premise is ridiculous.

Where did you get the weird idea the software isn't updated? This entire discussion is about deprecation of older encryption methods in new versions of software.

You're not giving this thought. Good day.
SMTP has no authentication, authorization, or encryption built in. GSM and the verizon standard do. SMTP abuse is entirely down to you being able to fire and forget a message without any sort of acceptance criteria for downstream systems.

They can easily identify what and who you're talking to with message metadata, which is usually not encrypted. They can cooperate with government agencies this way. You don't need to know the exact content of a message, you just need to know who you're talking to and when.
Yup, two hours of actual playtime sounds like a pretty fair window to me. Sure, some people are making YT vids where they complete an entire game and return it within 2 hours, but that's not enough to actually matter. For a utility-like phone app something like 30 minutes might be more reasonable, but the same principle applies.

That doesn't mean there's a significant product behind it. A good PR firm can freeze attrition promising the next big thing any minute now... at least for a while.

"The rule of law" is a general philosophical and legal doctrine, not the laws that happen to operate in a certain country at a certain moment. If, for example, the constitution places all decision power in the hands of a dictator, that would not be a rule-of-law regime, even if the decrees issued by said dictator are, technically speaking, legal. Historical examples of "legal" atrocities abound.

What you might hint at is that the social contract is open to negotiation and Sweden, as a sovereign state, is certainly within its rights to operate its laws and courts as such. Sure. But is it wise, long term? I have my doubts.

If you can afford something fancier, great. My above comment was to differentiate N95s from surgical/cloth masks as well as vaccines, because these latter methods are not enough to stop transmission, and repeated infections increase the risk of Long COVID / PASC complications.

Just because an object can possess a property does not mean it necessarily has the property. Regarding Bitcoin, it does not necessarily require a regulated market (proof: existence of Bisq). Same holds for private households; instead of relying on force for enforcement, you can rely on trade via the non aggression principle- “I won’t steal your property if you don’t steal mine” prevents us from requiring force to settle disputes. This does not hold true for equities because of the owner/manager problem among other issues; there’s a lot of research on equities markets and why they require regulations you can read if it’s interesting to you.

It doesn’t matter whether the state says Bitcoin is an equity or not; it isn’t one. States frequently make all sorts of false claims.

Regarding democracy, in modern parlance it’s a set of institutions; a 25 person tribe is too small to support those institutions; accordingly a 25 person tribe cannot be democracy in the modern sense.
