Ding ding ding ding. Not just that, but you have to affirmatively and unambiguously invoke your 5th Amendment rights. As in, "I wish to invoke my rights under the 5th Amendment of the United States Constitution to remain silent while my lawyer is not present, and I wish to explicitly invoke my 6th Amendment right to counsel." No weasel words, no maybes or I dunnos. Invoke your rights, and if they persist, invoke your rights again, and again, and again. It's the only way to save your ass before the lawyer arrives because the police are simply seeking to catch somebody, not the right person necessarily, and they will literally outsource the lying to the jailhouse snitch to make it happen, amongst other tricks. You can't explain your way out of a situation where the police feels that you are their best shot at getting a perp walk arrange ASAP. Your lawyer can though.

What makes you think oil processing will decline soon? It seems like we have an ever-increasing appetite for the stuff (with a possible exception in Norweigan production) [1].

Not all software is shipped using containers. For example, with Deno, you can compile your application into a single executable binary. By having permissions built into the runtime, this means you can import a third-party package but only allow network requests to go to specific URLs; this way, even if malicious code is referenced in the app, it can't phone home.
In terms of hours invested, I don't think going to the movies ever got close to the 50's rate of television consumption. I can find stats as high as 90 million tickets/week, which (if we assume 100% double features) may have been as much as 400 million hours per week. With a US population of 130 million, that's roughly three hours per week per capita. Compare that to television in the 1950s, which nearly reached 5 hours per capita per day. That's over 10x the time investment.

Radio, on the other hand, seems like it may have done similar numbers to those of TV. But I'd be interested how different those modes of consumption were in practice. Certainly some people watch TV in the background, and some people listen to the radio while doing nothing else, but I would bet the rate of watching TV while doing nothing else was far higher than that of radio.

Why? If I watch 2 shows from Netflix, it costs $10. If I watch 2 shows from Disney, it costs $10. If I watch a show from Disney and a show from Netflix, why should that cost $20? And if I pay $10 for that, why would that be uneconomical?

The way licensing and streaming costs work is super arbitrary and wacky. There’s nothing fixed and eternal about it. If the fee structure isn’t working (and it’s not) then it should be changed.

The movie industry can get a reasonable amount of my money or none of my money. Their choice.
It's not bewildering. There are an awful lot of people out there who were raised to trust police as "the good guys" and it's extremely easy for those people to be manipulated into what they think will be a quick interview to help out in solving a case, only to have the spotlight turned on them before they realize what's happening.
Rolling a task over to a new version should be "safe" in that you can detect conflicts and roll back if the sequence of calls does not match the old version.

For a post about "solving" durable execution I would expect both a scale-to-zero way to keep older versions around indeterminately - I guess the Lambda based approach does qualify - and a safe and controlled way to upgrade task versions iff the execution history is compatible.
Thank you. It’s been tough, but I remain optimistic. They’ve already progressed far beyond worst case expectations and continue to impress me every day.

> Seattle police union rank-and-file leaders are under investigation after an officer was recorded on his body camera appearing to make light of the death of a woman who was killed by another officer this year, saying that she “had limited value.”

> Auderer left his body camera on after responding to the South Lake Union neighborhood, where a marked patrol vehicle driven by another officer struck and killed Jaahnavi Kandula on Jan. 23. That officer had been responding to a “priority one call,” police said a day after the incident, when he hit Kandula, 23, who had been in a crosswalk.

> In the brief clip, Auderer, who is vice president of the Seattle Police Officers Guild, is driving and can be heard discussing details of the incident in a call with the guild’s president, Mike Solan.

> Auderer said that the officer whose vehicle struck Kandula had been “going 50” and that “that’s not out of control.” According to a police investigation report that was referred to prosecutors for review last month, the officer had been driving at 74 mph and Kandula was thrown more than 100 feet.

> “That’s not reckless for a trained driver,” Auderer also said in the video, adding that he doesn’t believe “she was thrown 40 feet either.”

> “But she is dead,” he said. He later laughs and says, “No, it’s a regular person.” Only Auderer’s statements are audible in the video.

> "Yeah, just write a check," he also said and laughed again. “Eleven thousand dollars. She was 26 anyway,” Auderer said, misstating Kandula’s age. “She had limited value.”
okay, but surely then they get reinsurance, no? also does it make sense for every huge company to have their own insurance department?

isn't this simply a service that big corps can buy from these huge insurers? so they end up as the payers, they can manage their own plan(s), but of course they actually don't even have one single actuary on payroll, right?

We put it in the second-chance pool (https://news.ycombinator.com/pool, explained at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26998308), so it'll get a random placement on HN's front page.

Spotty memory but the two posts that made me check HN daily were:

- How do you store data to last more than 50 years (diamonds and titanium were mentioned)

- The announcement that bitcoin reached 1 USD, a great party story (TL;DR I tried buying 100, had issues w/ payment, got pissed, bought 200 instead, lost wallet a few months later, would have sold it super early tho)
I'm not saying it doesn't happen - I'm saying it's not the correct practice. When talking about financial services, this sort of garbage data could lead to compliance issues and financial penalties. Typically those mergers end up with remediation initiatives to at least ensure that all the invalid data is nulled out, or facilitate it's collection if it's critical.
For reference, I've designed ~10 PCBs of varying complexity (simple to highly complex) and done plenty of programming. I've used Eagle, KiCad, and Altium. My comments will try to push you to think about some specific points.

Looking at your demo video, it seems that atopile is less a "tool to build electronic circuit boards with code" and more a tool to perform schematic capture in code. Do you agree with that characterization?

I ask that question because you're clearly relying on the KiCad toolchain for PCB layout, which is a crucial part of the overall PCB design process but is not "PCB design" itself. Right now, KiCad is a tool for PCB design, and you are providing an alternative method of schematic capture. I think you should make sure that the description of your creation accurately reflects its capabilities.

Is anything preventing you from taking output from the existing KiCad schematic representation system and transpiling it into ato? What about transpiling from ato into the KiCad schematic representation system?

Does ato provide any focus on routing? It could be nice to state in software that I want a component or trace constrained to a specific layer on the PCB (or in the PCB, if there's internal layers). I'm assuming no, since ato appears to be purely focused on schematic capture, but I'm curious of your thoughts on this.

It could also be nice to include placement constraints in software. For example, say I have a handful of resistors which I want placed in the same relative area of a board and in an orderly row. Do you provide functionality to allow this? The general aesthetics of PCB layout might be programmatically defined with ato.

Just like Arduino took the nitty-gritty away from microcontroller programming, think about how you can take the nitty-gritty away from schematic capture. One way this could work is with a hierarchical schematic templating system. You'd need to build significant documentation to teach people how to use it, but it could vastly simplify the schematic capture process to a few lines of code by importing a template schematic class and instantiating multiple schematic objects into a project and wiring them together.

It makes sense to me that an "interface" as you define it can be imported for a given project. For example, "Bob's Interface" is the set of a +12V barrel-type power input, a USB-A port, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a 10-pin GPIO header. Any project using "Bob's Interface" has a known set of input and output capabilities. The term "input/output complex" also gets at this idea. Is that how you think of an interface?

That's all for now. :)

Invitation to a Banquet, by Fuchsia Dunlop
I had no idea you could achieve relevant amounts of time dilation so "easily" with relatively small (1m/s) of constant thrust - such that interstellar travel becomes somewhat viable provided you can continuously accelerate for the entire trip. Googling it, it would take approximately three years of observed time for a traveller to get to alpha centauri at 1g.

Could any somewhat-plausible technologies (fusion etc) get us to that point? I don't know how to do relatavistic maths, but it seems that directly converting mass to energy and ignoring relatavistic effects requires 50 000kg to accelerate 100 000 kg (with a constant relationship, as the C^2 cancels out) to the speed of light.
> Allow companies to advertise a price exclusive of tax (but inclusive of fees)

But that's what they want -- to advertise the price exclusive of tax.

And some of the fees are the same thing. They depend on different factors and aren't necessarily fixed. You could say that fixed fees have to be included, but that's an obvious loophole; they'll make the fee $5 if you're in California and $4.99 otherwise. Or $5 normally and $0 if you meet some esoteric condition that hardly anybody does, if you require the minimum fee to be included.

> Require companies to list a single total price where the final price the customer pays is less than or equal to. So their advertised price would be inclusive of the highest tax rate the customer would be required to pay.

But then they can't advertise the lower price even if that's what many or most of their customers would actually be paying. Suppose San Francisco has a weird law that would add 300% to the price of the product but only for people who live there, and you're advertising across the entire state.

Also, then they bypass it by advertising a product which is only available to be shipped to addresses in states with no sales tax or expensive regulatory requirements. When you show up and ask for that product they say it isn't available to you but here's one that is which is really the same thing under a different SKU, for the same price exclusive of local taxes and fees.
While it may be a hit piece, I certainly understand the validity in the philosophical nature behind the ideology.

I reflect similarly in my own observations in general. We often foresee the future as a reflection of 'here and now' versus understanding the long-term implications of decisions made at vast scale.

There are many great examples right in plain sight in every day life.
But: they are holding it wrong and it got fixed regardless because if you can fix such stuff you should. For Rust such a CVE is nearly free given the installed base of Rust and the fact that most of that code is fresh and in maintenance. But that definitely isn't true for all of the instances of glibc that are currently deployed.

> modern academia's favored nurture over nature mindset

The is a simplified way of putting it by I would roughly agree with this statement. However, I think you're drawing the wrong conclusion from the fact that "poor Asian immigrants were able to outscore other demographics". It is absolutely about nurture, but not in a way that the "academia" wants to emphasize. I think the main reason these poor kids achieve better is the support and, yes, the tremendous push they get from their families on topics related to education. I'd wager that having a two-parent family that places importance in education correlates most with academic performance.
Thank you for that, however I was referring to the very first sentence in the article.
Is “erased” how Haskell typeclasses work?
You're focusing just on consumer/retail/store sort of thinking. The problem is wider than that. Figuring out where someone placed an order is sometimes required, even if it will be delivered or provided somewhere else. Understanding the use case - you may be selling a service, but if the service is performed in different locales, the service may be taxed at different rates. Advertising a service for $399, but performed in different counties, will mean a different tax rate. Now... you can figure it out after the fact, and charge everyone a flat $399, and pay the different taxes yourself (so your revenue might $380, $370, $360, etc), or you add on variable tax based on where that service is done, so the purchaser is paying $399 + ($local tax rate).
I mostly share this experience, but for me it's a little bit more complicated.

I've tried to completely pants a story, and I've also tried planning stories out ahead of time in extremely rigorous detail, and I've ended up deciding to stay sort of in the middle. I generally have a pretty detailed idea of where I want a story to start and end, even down to some sense of how to get there, usually composed of some of the big events or set pieces or that happen in between, so I'm not pure pantsing, but then I just sort of find out as I go along how I get between each point, and really revel that process of finding out.

I think I've ended up writing things this way precisely because on the one hand writing a story based on a complete outline is extremely boring, it essentially becomes work, it just isn't Fun anymore, but on the other hand, I am an extremely set piece motivated writer — I am motivated to write things by specific scenes that I want to have happen or even specific vivid images — and so those scenes, spaced throughout my narrative, sort of act as the carrot on the end of the stick to get me to keep going to find out how I get there. If I go into writing a story without a sufficient string of high points and an ending, I'll tend to just sort of vaguely peter out after the last cool idea I did have in mind when I started and then lose interest eventually.
We don't know all the details. Maybe they had high costs elsewhere or a market insight that made them re-think whether they want to be continuing to operate that business
What would the counterfactual be? The population of elite New England boarding schools, at least in 1934 when the decision was made, was pretty solidly top-1%. (It too has diversified recently because of efforts by those top prep schools to accept diverse applicants on scholarships, but a major applicant criteria they use, particularly for underprivileged applicants, is...get this...the SSAT!). If they're accepting 25% of students from outside the top 20%, that is way better than the situation 100 years ago.
