I agree people are perfectly entitled to express their opinions and that it's important for civil society to engage with these things, especially with regards to the police. (NB: we're not talking about the police, however.)

My suggestion was that, given we're laypersons, if we're confused how this could be illegal and it conflicts with our understanding of the law, it's probably a safe assumption the regulators understand the law better.

Not commenting at all or passing judgement without trial isn't what I'm advocating for. It was a descriptive statement, not proscriptive one. If you asked what I would suggest as a response to realizing you might not understand the situation, it would be doing some more research into the law.

If that research leads you to the conclusion that this genuinely is an overreach, so much the better - before you had a suspicion, and now you have evidence for it.

It seems that your subconscious is telling you that it wants you transform those cycles into some kind of action. I don't know what your circumstances are. If it were me, in my circumstances, I would be looking for groups of similarly-minded people that I could join, or projects I could donate to. I would definitely try to be safe, I would be very concerned by being "disappeared". Good luck and I hope you find something.
It's definitely true. Just as China has a reputation for making cheap goods, when China will make goods to whatever quality is paid for, up to and including world class craftsmanship. It's just the shop you bought it from wanted to sell at a lower price, so they paid for the cheap option.
This is most certainly true when it comes to investments. Yes, you could put 100% of your savings in an index fund and forget about it, but that seems extreme, and also you have to live somewhere, so instead of paying rent and living in a non-ideal place you can't customize, you might as well buy a home that's a better fit for your family and has upside potential (and yes, no matter what people say, buying a house is most certainly an investment, a large one and potentially a bad one, but an investment nonetheless).

So now you have at least two big investment baskets that you really should watch carefully, on top of your job, and all those other life things that, as mentioned by another commenter, do get easier once you've done them a few times (like picking a health plan or knowing the basics about car maintenance), but each one has a learning curve and change with technology or policy. And it's a very long list.

Salesforce layoffs had no internal cause - just "investors want us to cut costs". They selected people at random, and we lost tons of people who were essential and difficult to replace. Then they said "we can't guarantee there won't be more, and we can't tell you any way to avoid being hit". And then they said stuff about productivity going down but I didn't care, surprise!

The "Kiev" is the English spelling that has replaced "Kiov"/"Kiow"/"Kyow" variants at the beginning of 19th century. It's closer to Ukrainian normative spelling of the times (Кїєвъ, which transliterates to Kiev), rather than Russian (Кіѣвъ ~Kiyev). The Russian spelling changed to "Киев" (Kiev) a full century later.
The whole "Kyiv not Kiev" debacle is mostly a political invention of yet another century later. One language cannot define correct spellings for other languages, especially the ones with different script.

I guess it happens on multiple levels. No reason it would be exclusive to one.

Certainly individual ants learn stuff

But adaptions also happen by evolution and (very speculatively) might also happen at the colony level by it changing its responses somehow. E.g. I could imagine an ant colony suddenly faced with many attackers adapting by breeding more soldiers.

In my original question I directly asked “ I’m trying to understand EMF exposure from Starlink satellites. Am I right to assume that anyone within the 15 mile cell area would be exposed to EMFs if someone is using a Starlink receiver?”

I’m not changing anything you are misunderstanding. The phased beam form is directed in area That’s an area of 15 mi.². And a hexagon. I showed you the map and I showed you the link.

You keep saying it’s too weak but two weak compared to what.? there are zero study showing at safety for people with different genetics.

I don’t care what measurement term you use I care about the effect. It’s like saying a drop of cyanide is only a drop.

I’m not trying to keep the thread going. Your answers are nonsensical or you’re just misunderstanding what I’m pointing out. These are being discussed constantly in scientific circles and they’re not answered. But you will come here with, some either knowledge of physics or some propaganda given by cell phone companies and think you know everything and that’s frustrating.

I’m not even saying that I know 100% that these things affect me but your comparisons are illogical. And that’s why I’m keeping going .

Ironically, with the way production scales, if more people were willing/able to go for the high quality products, they'd probably wind up being somewhat cheaper than they are now.

Different case when we are talking deliberately exclusive luxury products, but for general purpose items like "a really good quality knife" we absolutely could be turning them out in vast numbers.
Dillo? I haven't heard that name in years!

I remember growing up I used the Dillo browser almost daily on my Raspberry Pi(2012). It was faster than Midori, and got me just enough information so that I could learn python from tutorials on the Raspberry Pi website.

It felt a bit strange then, when everyone around me was using Chrome. But looking back, it taught me a big lesson in how to maximize the use of minimal resources.

Thank you for picking up this project and maintaining it. Till date, there has been no true successor to Dillo that manages graphical web browsing with such little resources.
Actually, I’m measuring it volts per micro. But just because it’s a microwave doesn’t mean it does not have non-thermal effects. This is the question with EHS. And this is what’s being studied, the non-thermal biological effects.

And if the power of the satellite is so low, how can it carry so much data. That’s what you’re not understanding. if it can’t reach the dish it can’t reach me. Those aren’t the waves I’m talking about. As I showed earlier the broadcast cone for the satellite is 15 m² in a hexagon.
Those seem to be working! Thanks!
I live in a city that has a bunch of it; in practice, it's incredibly impractical, and the few modern attempts to imitate it while providing an actually usable building tend to end up looking absurd.

Examples:
https://www.irishtimes.com/life-and-style/homes-and-property... - Fake Georgian townhouses. You're still left with a four storey house, which isn't super-practical, and they look ridiculous.

https://www.pjhegarty.ie/projects/esb-head-office/ - Replacing a distinctly un-Georgian Brutalist thing which itself replaced a row of Georgian houses back in the day. Again, looks silly, but if they'd played it completely straight they'd be left with a pretty impractical office building.
Only if you validate the UTF-8 as being valid. If you just accept that it is you can treat it as just some bytes. Nothing in the spec I see requires processing UTF-8 as an actual Unicode string.

The easiest way to handle Unicode is to not handle it at all, and just shove it down the line. This is often even correct, as long as you don't need to do any string operations on it.

If the author wanted to play Unicode games, requiring normalization would be the way to go, but that would turn this into a very different challenge.
> And the Z80A in an Amstrad CPC6128 was clocked with 4MHz, not 3.5MHz...

It's quite common to be mistaken though, because the Z80 in the CPC was not running at full 4 MHz speed (even though it's clocked at 4Mhz). The gate array would set the Z80's WAIT pin for 3 out of 4 clock cycles to create a window for the gate array to read pixel data from memory. This causes the Z80 to fall into a 4-cycle-aligned pattern, meaning that memory access machine cycles were stretched from 3 to 4 clock cycles, resulting in an effective speed of somewhere between 3 and 4 MHz (depending on the instruction mix, but probably averaging somewhere around 3.5 Mhz).

> ... the reason was reentrancy.

...wouldn't passing the return value on the stack also allow reentrancy? Passing args and return values in registers instead of on the stack would definitely be faster, and on 8-bit CPUs, every clock cycle mattered.
That's exactly how it works.
Maintenance, planned and breakage, is a huge differentiator in favor of EVs- there are simply less moving parts and the EV ones are usually simpler and more reliable.
I would say the same kind of thing about primary keys on a database.

If any imaginable sort of explosion in usage means INT could overflow in your lifetime, just go BIGINT.

Thanks for reminding me what this post was about. After reading through all the depressing comments from people who think restaurants and hotels are superior to a family atmosphere at home, I had honestly forgotten.
Maybe edge case wasn't technically the right term, but I did indeed mean a low-frequency event (as it's used in the article). Sorry for the confusion.
Yep. And from a hard real coding perspective, you are right about verbosity of load and store ISA. Hence the importance of having multi-instruction per line assemblers. Because, without that, coders may be too much tempted to abuse the preprocessor. In RISC-V, some hardware instructions are kind of meant to be used as a group (hardware instruction fusion here we come!), then instead of creating a macro, you would cut and past that group of instructions, properly "isolated" on its line.

I say that, because currently I am coding some x86_64, with a intel syntax dialect I can assemble with several assemblers which are fasmg, gas, nasm/yasm. Some of them are not multi-instruction per line, and I am kind of glad this is only CISC x86_64 and not RISC-V :)

But the feeling of freedom I get with assembly coding, because being independent of those abominations (I am sorry, but the word is fair...) of compilers (gcc|clang/llvm) is a breath of fresh air. I still code very simple and plain C from time to time, avoiding IS O C tantrum and gcc extension though (and using tinycc, cproc/qbe, simple-cc/qbe C compilers).

BTW, thinking out of the box of using a compiler for classic high level and complex syntax languages made me thing about using RISC-V as a language with... its compiler. It "should" be much more resilient to all those pesky long term issues classic complex computer languages suffer from.

Maybe, this is actually the sane way forward.
No, you’re saying that, I’m not saying that you’re saying that. I am saying that if I can pick up a cell signal or if I could pick up a satellite beam from a star satellite then it’s like having a peanut in my mouth.

>hose parties I throw are the highlight of my year. My parents staying here with me is important to me, I wouldn't have it any other way.

There is a silver lining in smaller houses. They tend to be in denser neighborhoods and hence has some benefits in raising kids. There is no need to setup play dates, they can literally hear each other screaming and come out to play.

In my bigger house neighborhood, I see very few kids just playing casually outside and hence we have to setup play dates. Yes now I have place for table tennis table that I always wanted but I have to call my friends over because bigger house in my case also is bit more further in suburbs.

So big house might be great for parties and hosting guests but i probably traded away closeness to my existing friends for myself and kids both. I just made my median day more boring than before.

"Sales & Marketing" and "Research & Development" are categorizations you may read about in companies' annual reports, but "Maintenance"?

I'd suggest you read your company's financial statements. You'll find headings like "cost of revenue" or COGS, "General & Administrative" and others like one-off costs for mergers. All of these will have different dynamics, and in each company the dynamics may be different.

>> Both maintenance and testing are not valued by business.

It depends on the incentives I suppose - if commission and bonuses for sales people comes only from new sales, then sure, maintenance is irrelevant and will be ignored.

>> Because you cannot sell maintenance to the customer, you only can sell features.

No, that's not true at all.
If sales people are properly incentivised to sell support contracts (their base salary being a percent of maintenance fee for example) then it will be sold like crazy. I have seen this happen at my company - at one point we did not need new sales to be profitable - just raking support contracts fees was enough to keep up costs and then some.

All right, this is proof that you don’t know what you’re talking about. Light coming off of a lake is not polarized. That’s why we wear polarizing glasses to get rid of the glare. They take the unpolarized light and polarize it by removing everything but the horizontal rays. So they’re doing two things they were reducing the amount of light you’re getting and they’re also polarizing the light reducing glare.

Besides, we evolved with sunlight, and we did not evolve with man-made EMF. I’m not saying I know this matters, but I’m saying you can’t compare them and say they’re the same.

Ask HN: What local apps do you sync via Dropbox/Syncthing or similar?
Hi HN! I want to start using Syncthing across my devices (Linux/Android), as I don't have a 24/7 server, and I'm aware of several apps or services not built to be multi-device that can be synced that way with success: KeePassXC, LogSeq, Obsidian, etc
