>I disagree. You can mess with odometer as much as you like. Trying to sell it off with a different amount of miles than have actually been put on it is called fraud.

For a long time this was just a fact of buying any car that lived long enough. I have bought several cars where the transaction went something like: "so the odometer has rolled over twice; so there's actually 376,000 miles on the frame... but only 118,000 of those are on this motor and I swapped the transmission with a reman 76,000 miles ago."

Of course we've added a few significant figures to odometers since then, and in the era of digital odometers I imagine "rolling over" behaves very differently. (Will the chassis survive 4 billion miles? Seems unlikely. Do the display and storage have different bit resolutions? Is it a saturating counter internally? Externally?)

This is definitely a huge market. Are you targeting React developers only? I've successfully used html2pdf in the past, but looking again at their Github, it seems there has been no update in the last three years.

I think SOC2 is a must to start engaging with companies. Most PDFs will have sensitive data, and not many companies will feel comfortable sending customer data to a 3rd party platform, so you need security measures and certifications.

It sounds to me like maybe there's an older use of the term that emphasized independence from the colonies and a newer version that maps more or less to "right populist".

I don't live in the UK, but it seems like this might be similar to how the new populist/Trumpist Republicans are still called "Republicans" even though they don't support a lot of things that previously were associated with Republicans (foreign intervention, state & local rights, etc.).
Things like this are the main reason I’m against the US criminal justice system and everyone who willingly participates in it (such as police and prosecutors and judges and wardens and guards), where the presumption of innocence simply doesn’t exist in practice and has no checks or balances to ensure that so-called law enforcement doesn’t engage in all manner of well-documented commonplace illegal practices such as manufacturing evidence, bullshit expert testimony, and parallel construction.

Voluntary participation in such a system that is so well-documented as chronically and permanently unjust is affirmative approval of injustice. In my view, it is a criminal act to participate in such an irredeemable criminal conspiracy to carry out injustice.

If you’re ever forced to be on a jury, ignore everything you are told or shown and simply return a not guilty verdict in all circumstances. Jury nullification is the last and only check on this power and it is almost never used by jurors, and is unknown to most.

Separately, you should be philosophically opposed to the death penalty for the same reason you should be opposed to torturing people in prison: the most basic of human rights is the right to life. You shouldn’t oppose the death penalty simply because the government sometimes gets the verdict wrong. You should oppose the death penalty even if the government could be proven to get the exact correct answer 100% of the time without exception, because nobody should violate the human rights of others, even in the case where the person in question is legitimately guilty.

America seems to generally agree that convicted criminals forfeit their human rights and that it’s okay to allow them to die of covid (prison guards were prioritized for covid vaccines ahead of inmates, for example) or be raped or beaten or killed once they are in prison. It’s degenerate and appalling.
this is basically like bubbles under wallpaper - the "maybeness" is not due to your code, but due to the underlying problem you are solving (a user can either be logged in or not, and if they are not then all user properties are null). the article identifies the problem with various solutions as extra layers of abstraction, but i feel like the real issue is ceremony - whether propagating maybe-coloured functions through your code and checking the return value everywhere, or wrapping everything in a monad, you have to do something to handle the null case when all you really care about is the non-null case, and that something inevitably feels like clutter and overhead.

> media landlording

Wow, this is a great way to think about it, and helps describe how copyright is losing some legitimacy among the general public. Copyright is supposed to be about providing incentive and rewarding people who actually create things. But the way it's actually implemented is exactly media landlording where the lions share of reward is going to parasites whose only accomplishment is "owning IP".

I hope you don't mind if I pirate the term Media Landlording and use it myself. It perfectly describes the ugly world of intellectual property.
There's often a long overlap, though. Both my grandmothers died with Alzheimers. We'lll never know how long they knew, but in retrospect it's clear they knew of the decline for quite some time.

My mothers mother avoided hospital until it became too apparent to everyone around here that my grandfather tricker her. She'd make jokes about her failing memory for years, and while some of it might have been genuine, in retrospect odds are she noticed it was getting bad and was obscuring it with humour.

For years afterwards, she would forget conversations partway through them, but clearly be aware that something was wrong. E.g. for some time she recognised me, but would wonder when I got there and how long I'd been there, and occasionally my name and who I was would slip, but she was otherwise lucid enough to understand that this was not normal.

My dads mother managed to hide the decline until one day my grandfather was going in to hospital for a minor operation, and she refused to get out of bed. The last time I saw her before that, she seemed lucid and held a conversation. I never had another conversation with her, though she lived another decade - she went non-verbal almost overnight, but it was clear this wasn't some sudden physical change; she'd held it together until then, and gave up. It might be her cognitive decline was faster, and less cruel, but we really don't know if it was, or if she just managed to conceal it until the very brink.

How much after that she managed to hold on to enough to recognise any of us - including her husband we don't know, because shortly after she went non-verbal she mostly stopped moving.

But one of the cruelest parts of Alzheimers is what it does for those left behind - my grandfather spent a whole decade in his 70's and 80's walking to the nursing home, sitting with her all day, every day, then walking home, after she was for all intents and purposes gone.

Until the Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes the median/25th/75th percentiles for 2023, it's going to be very hard to judge the aggregate movement of salaries. I wouldn't be surprised if the median had declined in real terms relative to 2022, but I would be surprised if it were significantly lower than 2019.
For all you know that's the fine their intern got who was making 250 Euro / month at the time and has been unemployed since. Also note this in the article:

> The company’s directors were disqualified for seven years, but after certain compensation was paid and the lengthy prosecution delay was factored in, none of those convicted received a prison sentence.

Sounds to me like "getting dragged through courts for 9 years" was factored into their punishment.

Fines/punishments for individuals handed out by courts are based on the personal situation of those individuals, the degree of their complicity, and many other factors. If you're wealthy fines are going to be substantially higher than if you're making minimum wage.

Also if you go in with an obvious and intentional disregard for the law because you do not care about fines, you're gonna wish you hadn't when the court is done listing the digits. Possibly they'll lock you up to boot.
Yup.

I just wrapped my truck with several layers of copper mesh, so it should be fine.

In all seriousness though, no. I have no way of confirming the data transmission has stopped.
Great little demo.

> It is only when the statistical evidence against the null is overwhelming — “six sigma” overwhelming or more —that you’re also getting tight confidence intervals in relative terms. Among other things, this highlights that if you need to use your estimates quantitatively, rather than just to reject the null, default power analysis is going to be overoptimistic.

This I think will be a real head-scratcher for a lot of students, who are often taught to construct confidence intervals by no method apart from "inverting" an hypothesis test. It illustrates one of the many challenges (and dangers!) of teaching statistics.
I almost forgot how annoying Airbnb is until I started staying in hotels again.

Submitting this in particular for this story:

> Many of these nuns displayed signs of accomplishment, such as the inner heat of tummo. Once a year, on the night of the full moon of the twelfth month of the Tibetan calendar, there was a special occasion to show their mastery in the tummo practice of inner heat called “the wet sheet”. In the eight directions around the practice center nuns lit fires to melt snow where the sheets would be soaked. At this time of the year it was so cold the wet sheets would instantly freeze upon being pulled from the cauldron. Despite the bitter cold, many local people would come to witness the ceremony, often bringing their children along as well.

> The nuns were naked underneath the large sheets, except for short pants. I forgot if they were wearing boots or not; they may have been barefoot. Those without any tummo experience found the cold almost unbearable; they would get stiff legs and frozen toes as the night wore on. For ordinary people it was virtually impossible to even take a few steps wearing only shorts, let alone a wet sheet.

> The nuns began at midnight by singing the beautiful melody of supplication while walking one full circumambulation of the monastery complex covering the hillside, which was quite a long distance. The nuns wearing the sheets would walk slowly during the song. They were singing and asking for the blessings of Tsoknyi, Tsang-Yang and the other masters of the lineage, as they continued to circumambulate until dawn. They begin at midnight, at first the sheets are not soaked; the nuns merely walk while practicing tummo.

> Halfway through the night, their sheets are lightly moistened from the water in the cauldrons and you begin to see a wisp of vapor from the heat of their tummo. Then the time would come to completely soak their sheets, immersing them longer in the cauldrons. Sometimes the vapor from the line of nuns would be like a bank of mist drifting down the mountain. You could see beads of sweat on their bodies while the rest of us were standing there shivering. I saw this with my own eyes several times. There were about eight hundred nuns participating. Of these, around two hundred had some degree of mastery in tummo; only these nuns would soak their sheets in the water cauldron.

> It is incredibly inspiring and moving to watch such a procession and I haven’t heard of this happening on such a scale anywhere else in Tibet or Kham. Those nuns were quite impressive. Upon passing away, a great many of them remained in samadhi and some even left relics in their ashes.

> I feel that this is one story that people should definitely hear.
We use a dedicated HTML to PDF engine (such as PrinceXML) rather than building on top of a browser. Main issue with browser-backed implementations is that PDFs are often of subpar quality. However, the main good thing is you can rely on the latest CSS features.

In the end, what was the main decisive factor is the support for the PrintCSS and PagedMedia specifications, which have been completely discarded by major vendors and only implemented by specific engines.

> - a gigantic market for unskilled/cheap labor they've set up 20ys ago

You need first hand experiences of the Hartz-IV system to really grasp the extent of the above statement.

It's set up to force a certain group of people (low social status) to work any job and then subsidizes their low wages just enough to keep their living costs covered - still dependent on, financially surveilled and micromanaged* by the state. Effectively preventing social mobility. Indefinitely.

The German unemployment "social net" is really a giant subsidy scheme for the 1% (here, industry and landlords). At the same time, those 1% are fabricating the image of anti-social lazy tax-money leeches, as populist rhetoric to erode dignity of those hooked in the system even further, to keep minimum wage worker supply high. It's all wiiiicked corrupt.

"Rich" Germany has one of the largest low-wage sectors in Europe, with more than 20% of all employed working about minimum wage. For comparison, in France that's less than 9%.

Ladies and gentleman if we want a fair society we MUST:

- mandate FLOSS by law, starting from the first SLoC, meaning no company can sudden publish software to sell something with it, the software must be published since the day zero of it's development or the hw/sw/service can't be on sale;

- mandate local first for anything, so connected cars are ok, but they just offer a simple DynDNS mechanism the owner can add to it's own domain name as a subdomain like car.mydomain.tld and reach a relevant set of APIs the car offer. All data collected by the OEM must pass though the car owners systems, in an open and readable and documented form.

If this is not mandate, by popular acclaim, surveillance capitalism will stay, since it's the new tool to know and conform the masses. Surveilled people are known, and knowing they are surveilled try to behave in a "social norm" way, fearing the judgment/social score, as a result people evolve toward slaves who obey those who establish and update current social norms. We all know cooperation is needed to do anything, those who compete then need many who cooperate, obeying their orders, to craft anything. In the past was religion, then money, now social scoring the way to stiffen the masses. Such powerful tool is not something anyone accept to loose without a desperate and limitless fight. Only a large public reaction can force a change.
I was a bit confused by the article initially:

> Perhaps most simply, with a t-statistic of 2, your 95% confidence intervals will nearly touch 0.

Your 95% CI will include 0, unless you have more than 50 or so data points, in which case there's no point in using Student's t-distribution, might as well use the Gaussian, which the author seems to assume, and which I thought gave rise to the z-score (in my mind, t-statistic = t-distribution, z-score = normal distribution).

But then looking things up, it turns out that difference is that the z-score is computed with population mean and sd, while the t-statistic is computed with sample mean and sd. So, yeah, practically you'll use the t-statistic (and it will be t-distributed if the population is normally distributed), unless you already know population mean and sd, in which case you can compute the z-score (which will approach the normal distribution by CLT under certain conditions with large enough samples, but is otherwise not predicated on normality in any way).

Then all the author was pointing out is that if we take a +/- 2 standard error CI, then if your statistic is 2, the CI goes from 0 to 4, giving rise to a 100% "half-width" of the CI, while if your statistic is 4, say, the CI goes from 2 to 6, giving rise to just 50% half-width.

In my experience Airbnb isn’t even cheaper, just has more “interesting” housing available.

Back to the topic - removing listings isn’t a sufficient enough punishment imho. And how would you even prove it from the guests side? Take a picture I suppose? But how do you stop bad actors?

Not sure what the correct solution is. Someone who wants to spy can purchase a spy camera which is very abundant these days.
This is false. It's true that staying at 100% is harder on lithium ion batteries than staying at 40%. However, the wear due to charge cycles is way, way more significant. Your battery will see much less wear if you keep it at 100% for some time vs discharging and recharging it a few times between (e.g.) 40% and 80% during that same time.
