> Care to explain why criticizing the police should amount to "letting the swatters off the hook"?

Not the commentor, just sticking my nose into a duel, but I think they were responding to: "He’s not being harassed by the swatters."

That also read to me as pretty dismissive of the swatters.
Wasn't the term 'dark matter' just meant to indicate 'unknown'.

It wasn't meant to be descriptive, just that there is a gap between theories.

And one theory is there is some 'unknown' type of matter, and they called it dark.
My hatred for QuickBooks led me to spend days importing my books into ERPNext. IMO the only decent feature it offers is banking integrations and transaction classification
One solution.

Another is breaking apart the reasons want to live somewhere. Every conurbation wants all the jobs but it's so self-destructive.

Federally limit where multinationals can set up shop (so they can't use state-level tax incentives to play states off one another).

Connect cities and states together better. High speed rail services so that it's actually viable to live away from work. I know people who try to justify 4h daily commutes. It's not fair to shovel 4M people into a space to work where only 1.6M people can live.
If a system takes action, or affects something, those effects, or lack of, are notable.
For an electronic system it's simple - it is powered on.

You can also consider the transient and steady states:

[2] transient https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transient_state

My comment about the start doesn't actually address your concern about the end of the transient state. I think there are options. Any observable result can be considered the output of the system.

The GP might be referring to how most of the non-hyperscalers like Linode or DigitalOcean or Vultr tie total monthly egress to instance size. IIRC they do allow overage charges at $x per GB but it quickly becomes more expensive to do it that way.
Overtime pay.
When it came to Stalin, he was already a full blown terrorist, the type of scum that bragged about throwing grenades on groups of people at a local street fair. Exiling a guy like this, instead of finishing the job, is an inexcusable mistake on the government's part.
We've run 375,000 self-service employees ERP system (so much heavier single transaction than HN) on a single (large:) db2/aix box with no downtime over last 8 years. That's well within published specs for that hardware / software combo.

Yes we do have a DR box in another data centre now, in case of meteorite or fire.

This used to be the norm. A single hardware / software box CAN be engineered for high uptime. It's perfectly fine when we choose to go the other way and distribute software over number of cheap boxes with meh software, but I get pet-peeved when people assume that's the ONLY way :).
Irrelevant? I don't know about that.

Shutting down communities (as in shutting down a subreddit in this case) is not a popular idea but I wonder if it's not the only viable response.

I think communities can police themselves if there is an incentive to do so (or rather disincentive not to). I know of plenty of communities with strict rules of conduct because frankly they worry about being shut down. Any community around MAME for example will likely have rules against "asking for ROMs".
Before 2010, I used to get a lot of “why are manhole covers round?” type questions, not ACM competition type questions.
Quite simply, no it’s not. The Post Office is a private company and has nothing to do with the royal family.
Ruby is nice in every regard :) Most languages have some form of backticks to run an external binary. When I left my original comment I got a phone call in the middle of it and rushed it, sorry about that. What I really meant was having the versatility of the big 3 file descriptors along with return codes, etc. You can use Open3 (in the ruby case) but it's unwieldy compared to, say bash.
Alibaba's stock price peaked in 2020 at more than four times its current value and rapidly declined after new financial regulations were announced, making Alibaba subsidiary Ant Financial's business model uncompetitive due to collateralization requirements. But Ant Financial was at the time still only a small part of Alibaba's operations and the loss was mostly in speculated future growth potential, while Alibaba's core businesses and the company as a whole kept growing as before.

Anyways, people who saw a tech company's stock price tank and didn't think too hard about the details somehow turned this into the narrative that the tech sector was being deliberately dismantled, supposedly to boost hardware manufacturing instead.
That has to be a small minority. As for missing family, chain migration is still a thing.

Nearly nobody is ever going back, even those who can't land a proper job just stay and drive ubers.

Javalin – a simple web framework for Java and Kotlin
Until recently in Ireland, third level education places were largely divided into “universities” and “institutes of technology” (previously “regional technical colleges”).

The institutes of technology have been reorganised lately and are now called “technical universities”.

The degree you get is generally much the same from any of them - but for some insane reason graduates of the institutes of technology/technical universities don’t get to vote in the national elections for the upper house (senate). Only graduates of the more prestigious ones get that right.
High egress makes it expense both to leave and to use other services: if you use S3, you’re probably putting processing and analysis in AWS because using someone else’s service would incur hefty egress charges.
That is still clearly intellectual property after 15 years. There could be trade secrets in there. And the slightest suspicion of which is a good reason to sue you, should anyone every need a reason to. It could be an personal conflict spun out of control or an incompetent manager needing someone to blame for a failed business or whatever.

If there are any customer data or logs in there, then you could be personally liable under data protection laws. They might not even have an expire date, depending on what kind of data it is.

Better safe than sorry, unless you think you have something to gain from keeping that data around.
I never had a problem with location causing differences in pay. However that it extends to options grants always seemed to me as utterly incomprehensible. Why should you living in the Bay Area mean you get a massively bigger lottery ticket than somebody in Europe or India.

Studying and practicing to pass an interview isnt “paying your employer.”
Neither side of this partisan dispute can conclusively prove their version of events about who started the fire. It may be the case that you're right, but you may also be wrong. You should at least be able to consider the implications of the hypothetical scenario in which the authorities made a good faith best effort to end the confrontation with a minimum loss of life but still failed despite this intent and effort. Even if you're pretty sure that isn't what happened here, the main point is that going in guns blazing is not necessarily the best solution to an armed standoff, and there may instead be situations in which waiting it out and letting hostage negotiators do their work is the best course of action.

Furthermore, the example of Uvalde demonstrates that waiting it out is not always the correct course of action. This proves that there isn't one single correct approach that can be applied to all situations. Law enforcement must be given the flexibility to respond on a case by case basis, because different circumstances may call for completely different approaches.
There is a subtle difference between "victim blaming" and pointing out the (unpleasant yet real) mutual behavioral effects in such a situation.

Everyone has the right to defend themselves, but however they act can have potentially unintended effects beyond their control on the other party.

The main takeaway here is that it might be beneficial to consider these social mechanisms in ones reaction, independent of the fairness aspect.
Unfortunately I couldn’t file my UK self assessment for the same reason. Only a few of the self assessment pages are supported, and anything which requires the residency or foreign pages requires commercial software. The software is dramatically cheaper than it is in the U.S. but I still take issue with it on principle.

> The problem with this line of thinking is that cost of living is the same everywhere. It is not.

I don't understand what point you think you're making. My disposable income is not my employer's business, and I definitely do not live below my means to subsidize my employer's business.

You wanted me to do my work in exchange for my salary. Pay me. Don't think for a minute you are entitled to go through my grocery bill to see if you impose pay cuts.
Thanks so much for the “51%ers” reference!

That list of “skills” is spot on. I also especially like his use of the term “skunking” to describe how somebody’s personal opinions/problems/issues impact the rest of the team. “51%ers” are exactly the kind of people I want to work with.

There’s a common misconception that when the press reports $millions in lobbying, that means the $millions went to the politicians.

Actually $0 of lobbying expenses go to politicians. The money is spent on salaries, ads, research, publications, etc. that are used to communicate to the politicians.
Quoting the article:

`“Out of an abundance of caution, MPD has a duty to respond to calls for service in order to ensure that no one is in danger and that the necessary precautions are taken into consideration during these incidents.”`

The phrase "abundance of caution" is a tell for doing something stupid.
I think the article is misdirecting you.

It appears to have nothing to do with high-trust environments.

This information is cheap to determine even in medium- and low-trust environments using a data broker, street informant, or by trailing someone. It's not like criminal gangs couldn't target the relatives of gang members before computer search or published telephone directories with addresses.

You can tell it's a misdirection because it's not even believed Soha Saad - the woman in the lede who died in the bombing - was target of the bombing, and people aren't sure why the bombing took place, much less that it depended on public address information. It looks like her tragedy is being used as emotional cover for the link claimed in the headline.

There is no support for the link beyond "Experts say criminals are being greatly helped by a 248-year-old law, forming part of Sweden’s constitution." -- who are those experts?

The only named person supporting that change is "Lena Södersten, a lawyer at the Swedish Homeowners Association". She does not appear to be one of those experts.

> awk isn't readable.

I mean, russian is also unreadable, until you know how to read it.

awk's power for me isn't the LOC needed to accomplish a task, its power is that I can express the business logic I need very easily and very quickly, and the resulting code is really fast. I am by no means great with awk, but I can go months without touching awk, encounter some problem where awk shines, and in a few minutes or less I have exactly what I need.

you can learn to be extremely productive with awk in a few hours and it's very comforting to have this in your toolset moving forward. Essential? Probably not, but I like that I don't need to break my thought process when working with awk because it's just so natural to express what I want awk to do that I don't really "think" about writing awk, I just write it.
This is completely unrelated to the article the OP posted other than it's also related to robotics. But it's the coolest robot project I found recently. And since readers of this thread are likely to be interested in robotics (I am!), it might of interest to some:

Poor people spend more of their income on things that have sales tax. In other words, someone who is worried about their 401k is probably spending less of their income each month by percentage compared to someone living paycheck to paycheck.

Isn’t that post hoc ergo proper hoc fallacy?
During covid I needed to setup remote piano lessons. I tried combining two videos to show hands on the keys as well as the face but at the time merging the two videos added too much latency.
I solved this by only using the top down camera and then adding clear perspex (from a plastic picture frame) at 45 degrees in front of the raised laptop and also pointed lamps at the piano players face (the effect is called Pepper's Ghost). This meant the teacher could see the hands on the keyboard and the players face with one camera. It also meant the piano player would appear to look directly into the camera - like an auto cue.
I'm posting here in case it helps someone else.
What should the people calling in the swat be on the hook for, if they aren't harassing him?
You don't have to place the blame on one party.

He's absolutely being harassed by swatters. They call the police to get him swatted. Not to mention that on top of swatting, there is impersonation going on AND they are targeting others as well - like his parents.

He's ALSO being terrorized by the police, who are more inclined to cosplay with guns and make people fear than to actually do anything about their broken system or be held accountable at all. They absolutely cannot play ignorance - the are basically in an alliance with the swatters. Swatter calls it in, they wink and nod and follow through.

Maybe while you're at it, ask FDA to collect manufacturing and sales counts so that we could have a relative hazard metric:

(adverse event count) / (count sold)

(adverse event count) / (count manufactured)

Why doesn't [FDA] have production and sales data from all of the competitors already?

TMK, datacenters in other industries, mines, and other industrial consumers of electricity with margin are not obligated to share internal information on inputs.

(It's a good idea to gauge the competition's energy efficiency, and they should have kwH/t operating figures; but other industries aren't yet also obligated to turn their hands and share such private operating data.)

Ohh Hi! I've come across pianojacq before! Definitely love how clean the sheet music looks and on first glance the way the song plays smoothly even when you hit the note a little late/early works really well! That's one aspect I really need to improve.

I see you're also using Vexflow. Are you using a library to go from Midi to Vexflow format? It's a rabbit hole I sometimes wish I hadn't entered :)

@OP Can really recommend VexFlow [0] when you do get to implementing sheet music.

> Many world citizens can parse media of a random football fan screaming 'USA!' from the state department's lengthy policy positions.

Most recently, I believe, the main contributor to that image was the former president of the US, not some American at the FIFA World Cup. Trump providing nonstop material for satire and comedy shows didn't help either.

In general the international image of the US seems to be better under democrat presidents.

https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2021/06/10/americas-image...

That article broadly matches with my personal observations as a European.

> I can say with high confidence that the image of the United States is perceived not nearly so negative in the following counties which I personally visited: Jordan, China, Vietnam.

Eh. I can't speak to Jordan or Vietnam, but in China opinions on the US are usually a toss up. US (cultural) exports are warring with opinionated news that doesn't portray the US any better than US news portrays China.

> As a country with security always top of mind, overall Israel broadly admires the United States' extensive defense capability and power. I doubt most Israelis would describe the US as 'loudmouth'.

You're right that overall Israelis have an extremely favorable opinion of the US (ignoring their Arab population of course), however I have to point out these opinions aren't mutually exclusive.

The only surprising thing about Israel is that Trump apparently was more liked there than Biden is. They still seem to think Trump is more arrogant though.

I love hardware and EE, but most of my friends that do it hate it and work on power lines only. I wish hardware was as good, but it's not as in demand and it's harder too!
I think you may have a backwards. Libcuckoo, CLHT, and TBB are widely used high performance C/C++ DRAM hash tables. I think TBB is the hash table Intel maintains, if I remember right.

So the DRAM experiments are apples to apples. It's actually the PMEM experiments, I think, that are comparing a new hash table on a new technology to previous hash tables that weren't designed specifically for that technology.
Couldn't agree more; if the exercise takes more than 20-30 minutes, I am always asking if they are ok with me charging them my freelance hourly rate for the time needed to complete the exercise (regardless of hiring result).
Inglewood and Santa Monica are close enough to require the same level of income in order to afford a certain standard of living. Sure the standards of living may not overlap much, but they are on the same scale.

That's not true of California and Ohio in general.

It is, and it is also one of the 14 Dutch institutions that are allowed to use the Dutch "universiteit" name. But the English term "university" seems to be unprotected in the Netherlands.

> Why would they need to play constant politics if they don't have power over projects? Not everyone is motivated by the same things.

They do have power over the projects. Being able to PIP someone is power over everything that person does including which projects they work on. Including which projects no one works on. Except it's not their direct power which means to leverage it they need to play politics. Adding layers doesn't remove that power but simply increases the amount of politics they play to make up for it.

Sterilize it how? There's inert yeast and bacteria on your flour at all times. That's what allows you to create a starter from scratch. What do you want to do, bleach raw flour every time you're about to drop it in your starter?

I'm sure if you were in a lab environment and absolutely needed to, there are options to do so. But not for most home bakers.
The restart button is just navigating back to the same URL, the white flash is your browser showing white in between two pages.

Both are located in the US separated by a 2 hour flight. Both are in the same timezone too. For a remote company where you have employees spread around the US, there's no difference to anything here.

I have been reading this thread for far too long, and this is the best comment. The one that explains my vast confusion as to why it could happen 47 times to one address.
I assume you posted this because I made a comment about it at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39333223 , and gave this exact URL to a random blog containing excerpts from the original Financial Times article at https://www.ft.com/content/99680a04-92a0-11de-b63b-00144feab... .

I also pointed out the HN comment history at https://hn.algolia.com/?q=The+Iraqi+who+saved+Norway+from+oi... . One of the previous HN submissions links to an archive.org copy of original FT article.

Either the paywalled FT link or the archive.org link seem a far more relevant HN submission than to a blog containing only a few excerpts.
