"Hi all, could anyone please advise how to tackle this situation. My neighbour are good people but their sons car are very loud. There is so much base that I feel the sound on my bed in night Time. Our little one is due in 3 months. I’m worried about this situation."

And one popular response: "Just the reality of people living their lives..."

What I find interesting is that despite the rise of social media and the endless social-shaming that it enables, obnoxious behaviour doesn't seem to carry the same stigma that it once did. Related to this seems to be the conflation of what is legal and what is ethical (i.e. if it isn't illegal it is fine).
But it definitely could improve its error messages in this case.
> Reality: DNA/Alleles do in fact encode the "blueprints for life".

This seems to be talking past the article, which notes: "genes’ activity — [e.g.,] the length of protein that they encode — depends on myriad external factors ... and each trait can be influenced by many genes. For instance, although the HCN4 gene encodes a protein that acts as the heart’s primary pacemaker, the heart retains its rhythm even if the gene is mutated.

> This paper is a perfect example of a process called "complicating" a field, like they tried to do with the feminist glaciology paper

Could you share an aspect of the book or a quote from the article which you think illustrates such a similarity?
Just a mere few years ago you wouldn’t believe WiFi access point can be used as a sonar to literally scan the area like a low-def camera in real time.

> Don't put in 80 hours a week for months unless you have good reason to think it's going to be worth it and do it with the full knowledge that you might be gambling on the company's generosity.

I agree. I'm also not 100% convinced the original story is even true.
I'm now reading the book the article is reviewing. Like previous Philip Ball books, it is a dense but enjoyable read.

Like other books on genetics and biology, it is best to read it while it is still fresh: in several years time, parts of it might be obsoleted by new biological findings.
A rocket on a typical orbital launch profile spends less than 60 seconds in air dense enough for jet engines to have good performance, so there is little to gain.

Pegasus is an orbital rocket launched from an aircraft, but it doesn't exactly impress with performance or cost-effectiveness. Just doesn't make much sense to operate a huge aircraft and design your system around it just to improve on the least important 10% of the flight.
I'm guessing Taylor's home(s) have someone keeping an eye on them even when she's away, so that doesn't seem relevant. It would also apply to anyone with a private jet like hers.
The Fukushima nuclear accident had a far narrower impact than this will have. The Fukushima accident did not result in a 'push button to gain money' GitHub software projects.

If an angry video call from the boss is all that is required to exfiltrate millions of dollars, and boss video calls become as easy to produce as spam emails, then the exfiltration of funds from Japanese organizations becomes as fast as approximately (spam email send rate) * (millions of dollars).

When you have received the 7th angry call from the boss that day, demanding funds be sent immediately, you eventually realize you need a different system. At a minimum the boss will need to come be angry in person.
"the hardware" in this case clearly refers to Apple products (namely iPhone)
As my sibling comment notes their decontamination process was outlined in the paper and you can reproduce it, though it may not be sufficient. That was my initial point, I wasn’t giving you handwavy trust claims, I was saying you’d likely find it in the paper.
Isn't this a matter of semantics? A blueprint for a computer could be stored on a computer, and it's obvious that the blueprint doesn't contain everything needed to build a computer.
The core issues with the Web Monetization API is that all the things you mentioned get dangerously close to SAP and Salesforce waters, and there's a reason these systems are the definition of bloated legacy accounting tech.
The chlor-alkali process is responsible for something on the order of 80%+ of what we think of when we say "toxic waste" - dioxins and polychlorinated compounds. I don't think it's going to be a panacea for iron refining to switch to electrolysis. That said, it's very interesting research that probably works for a lot of other non-bulk metals that need to be reduced to elemental metals.
If you read back, this discussion was about a scenario where most people don't need to own or operate their own car. That implies that they would live in a place with good public transportation like New York has now.

Arguing over the semantics of the word "progress" is missing the point. There are very real problems with building society to cater to individual private car ownership. Instead building society to cater to public transportation would address those issues. If you see a different way to address those issues than why not present it?

The current 2 hour limit (which is now 25 hours in Europe) is a legacy of privacy concerns. If pilots are concerned that their bosses would make a habit of yanking longer CVR units to micromanage what goes on in the cockpit (or using events several hours before an incident to somehow push blame onto the pilot for an it), they’d love the idea of it being beamed to a remote location. Yes, I’m sure there could be complicated byzantine cryptographic scheme that would theoretically solve it, but not sure they’d trust it.

There’s also bandwidth and satellite coverage not being magic of course.

> Not really. They are more like incomplete recipes that depend on external factors to fill in the missing information.

As someone who has worked in construction, you have literally described blueprints.

Blueprints specify key elements of a building, what sort of material is to be used, rough locations, routing of utilities, etc, but it’s up to the installer to use their knowledge of building practices and building code to perform the installation correctly. Sometimes materials can change due to availability (or budget).
Excellent. I agree totally. But trying to get adherence to standards in requirements documentation is like trying to nail jelly to the ceiling.

Show HN: 2048 in GridWhale
This is an implementation of the 2048 sliding tile puzzle on the GridWhale platform. I wrote it mostly to have some sample code for GridWhale, but it's also a fun game.

If you click on the program icon in the upper-left, you can see the source code. And once inside the IDE you can clone it and modify, if you want.

*So what?*: The cool thing about this is that it shows the integrated nature of GridWhale. The UI, the game logic, and persistent storage (high score list) are all implemented in a single language in a single program that runs on the server--kind of like mainframe programs of old.

That integration made it really easy for me to implement--it only took me a few hours. And once finished I can share it with anyone just by sending an URL.
I would presume a bunch of IMUs and fusing together orientation/accel data?

I can see how knowing the orientation and relative motion of the head might allow one to map this out.
The better solution is for implementations like Mastodon and Lemmy to let users bring their own custom domains, and have robust data export APIs. Then even if your home instance disappears overnight you can migrate to a different instance.
> I do not need a compex abstraction hiding the ways I need to talk to persistent storage. If fact, I believe it is impossible to create such abstraction without very serious compromises.

That's pretty interesting take considering EBS is itself a block device abstraction over network attached storage and pretty complex at that too with a huge price premium
I don't think LinuxONE requires that.

This doesn't necessarily even need to have a laundering angle. I have a different take:

1. They come with some money, enough for whatever minimum down payment is required (but notably, the issuing bank will also lower down payment requirements for clients with high income or assets, which are faked anyway)

2. HSBC is incentivized to issue mortgages, yes, that's their business. But the actual fraud here sounds more like cash kickbacks from the fraud buyer to the issuing agent themselves.

3. Home prices are made on the marginal sale, so a small amount of this activity can have a large upward pressure on prices. This leads to typical bubble scenarios, and you can keep rolling over or refinancing mortgages as prices keep rising (or even just sell). To get a sense of this, over the past few years, the average Canadian house gained in price something like double the average Canadian income.

So in summary, a lot of this could be explain by plain fraud, enabling foreign buyers to both perpetuate, and participate, in a giant housing bubble. If that's true, and it all comes crashing down, then god help us all.

That paper is a joke. Here's how they collected their "treatment set":

> We collect RTO information for S&P 500 firms through manual news searches on Google and Factiva. Specifically, for each firm, we search by using the company’s name and the following keywords: ‘Work from Home’, ‘return to office’, and ‘days required working in the office’. We focus on S&P 500 firms because these large firms are closely followed by media, thus mitigating concerns about media coverage bias. Among the S&P 500 firms, 137 publicly announce their RTO policy and are classified as RTO firms in this study. These 137 firms become our treatment firms

They then correlate this with other (ahem) high quality datasets...like Glassdoor reviews.

Setting aside all personal biases, this is like bad undergrad research. You can't just look at titles and treat papers like pokemon cards.
Doesn’t matter if BigCos say RTO is better. We need 10 years for remote-only companies to mature and start going public en masse. The cost savings, ability to hire anywhere, and attract the best talent regardless of location, IMO will vastly outweigh any “unquantifiable benefits” of forced in-person interaction. But we need the proof to come out where it matters the most, P&L.

Downloading a piece of code to your car doesn't count as a recall. This is just Tesla horseshit that only fanboys would believe.

I've been writing to Future Me every birthday since I was 17. I'm now 32. In my very first letter written at age 17 and addressed to the college version of myself, I urged myself to resist peer pressure, keep making art, and maintain my innocent nature.

As the years went on, the letters alternated between despair and hope. The letter writer turned into a pothead, then an alcoholic, then an alcoholic pothead who couldn't make art anymore.

Many of the letters described long, meandering walks through New York City through eyes that didn't feel part of reality, in a body that was always outside of the circle.

After years of ache for love, a relationship blossomed, then spoiled; an anticipated marriage never materialized, and then the whole thing collapsed died. The letter writer fell very ill, left the city, then started all over in a small town.

I got my last letter a year ago. That person seems a lot closer to the person who wrote that very first letter. That person makes art again. Spends most of their time in nature. Is back in college studying something entirely new. The pothead and the alcoholic and all the toxic relationships are long gone. The slate feels washed clean.

There is a sense of innocence returned. Joy, excitement, hope for the future. Gratitude for the all wisdom accumulated between that first letter and the most recent.

Yep, biggest new thing here is discussion of witness marks showing no evidence of the bolts, and photo before the rivet repair showing that at least two of the bolts were present, and photo after the rivet repair during installation of the insulation showing at least 3 bolts missing.

So this all just serves to confirm that report, and what people suspected for a while; the bolts were just missing, removed for removing the door plug for the rivet rework and never reinstalled.

I recently broke the habit and threw nearly everything away. I would regret it based on this but hardware/software packaging isnt what it once was. Even the apple stuff which is somewhat legendary for packaging has lacklustre documentation and diminishing space for cables/essential accessories; especially when compared to vintage computers

Your notion that browser-based apps are somehow bug-free is absurd.

Skype on Linux, for one, keeps the microphone open after a call, forever.

The issue has been known for more than 2 years.

I'd say Electron adds no value with respect to fighting bugs other than containing the consequences in the browser sandbox.

> These exists without k8s.

That was exactly my earlier point... of course you can do everything in k8s in other ways, but in the end you have to pick ONE way your company/team is going to do it... why not pick a well defined way, that new hires can already know, that has a ton of tooling available, and works together cohesively?

Yes, I can build each part myself, but why?

> Your app does not care without k8s. Running python -m http.server does not even know what ELB is. I get it though. You are using k8s as IaC.

Sure, but I still need a way to deploy my app, and to move it to a different location when I do hardware maintenance, and a way to get a DNS address that routes to my app.

At my shop, using k8s, I can deploy a brand new service, with a cert, a url, and a place to run it, in a few minutes. I don't have to talk to anyone, I don't have to use any other tools or have to click on any buttons, i just helm install or kubectl apply and my service is running. I don't have to ask the datacenter ops people to find me a server, or get budget for a new AWS instance. I can deploy to an existing cluster and use a small bit of the infrastructure. I don't have to scale my individual service, I can scale the whole cluster for all services.

It is just so much easier to be a developer in this world.

If you assume a similar set of primitives, it could be as simple as

Ah yes, who would want to trade the flourishing real estate utopia of, say, San Francisco for the collectivist hellscapes of New York (some rent stabilization and public housing), Vienna (>50% public housing, consistently scores top in overall quality of life globally), or Singapore (>70% public housing)?

Free markets are great, until they start incentivizing weird behaviors (NIMBYism, bubbles) instead of investments (construction, renovations) and efficient allocation.

Successful cities have walked the balance successfully and stepped in (only) when necessary.
This is a problem with using metaphors. Blueprints very accurately describe the role of genes by the way the article here describes them. I think they don’t have a precise understanding of what blueprints are, which means now semantics of the metaphor are critiqued rather than the actual content.
I mean, the file system istelf is an abstraction.
Yeah, this is a preliminary report, they only report direct factual findings that they have collected so far, and as they mention in this report, they haven't yet examined the electronic manufacturing records that the insider was referring to.

The NTSB is not quick to jump to conclusions; they are very thorough, and they collect and sort through a lot of evidence. It's not surprising that there's information out sooner that says more for such a high profile incident; but once the NTSB final report comes out, it will be quite detailed and thorough, and cover all of this and more.
Yes, unfortunately when it was declared the Sexist Job, there was a tremendous influx of bootcamps promising you a six figure income after 3 months of part-time study. That has certainly lowered the overall quality of the Data Scientist title.

Doesn’t that support my point on incrementalism? It’s a 2x gain in 10 years.
There are many open questions in biology, but this article is by and large the current consensus in genetics and molecular biology. There are enough facts by now that we can conclude environment plays a big role, real traits are multigenic, the lock-and-key hypothesis was misleading, and evolution has a number of tricks up its sleeve that were not previously appreciated.
