I wouldn't be so sure. I dropped that point of view, after I read about the Lucona incident in europe and all the dirt behind it:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucona

Which lead me to:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Gladio

"According to several Western European researchers, the operation involved the use of assassination, psychological warfare, and false flag operations to delegitimize left-wing parties in Western European countries, and even went so far as to support anti-communist militias and right-wing terrorism as they tortured communists and assassinated them"

Opened a whole box of pandora for me. So I rather think there is much more dark shit going on, than what makes the news, we just see the tip of the iceberg. And not just about the big players. Probably also common people have way more corpses in their basements, than what you would expect, if you grew up in a safe space.

Edit: about Lucona, the wiki page reads quite boring, but the book by the private detective who uncovered it, is quite informative. Casual mentioned details, like that there is a court of the organized crime in london where they settle their cases. Or that the insurance company, who initially hired him to investigate, offered him money in the end, to stop investigating, as he was uncovering up too much dirt.
I guess just so you can see it more easily on the dashboard, though I've always used my hand to check (that way I don't need to take my eyes off the road).

> "We are still reviewing the technical details but are extremely disappointed with Apple's proposed plan to restrict the newly-announced BrowserEngineKit to EU-specific apps," Mozilla's spokesperson lamented. "The effect of this would be to force an independent browser like Firefox to build and maintain two separate browser implementations – a burden Apple itself will not have to bear.

isn't apple in the same position when it comes to the OS, being forced to have one version in the EU and one for the rest of the world? and isn't this problem more costly than keeping two separate browsers?
Bro what are you on about. I'm talking about forcing people to do things not someone doping.
That sounds like it is entirely the publisher’s internal policy, not at all related to whether something is in the public domain or not.

A publisher can certainly impose their own restrictions before publishing something to lower liability, but that does not mean the photographs themselves are not public domain, as GP comment explicitly showed.

If you have any case law since then that proves otherwise, great, but an anecdote is not proof enough.

Slightly more accurate headline would be "grid operators doing stupid stuff due to bad incentives is threatening climate goals".

Increased electricity use isn't, in itself, a problem. In fact, given the electrify everything movement, it's a fundamental part of the solution.

Those EVs and heat pumps for example, are helping to meet climate goals even if coal powered. But a simple time of use rate and a renewables heavy generation portfolio supercharges their benefits.
A toaster cannot make a toast alone. It has to be inserted and removed and put on a plate. That's what I want a robot for (one day, after I am sure, it will not accidently toast me).

They are bad because they don't cost 10-15k. Human bodies are difficult. They weigh quite a bit and often move about. Put multiples of them onto the object then stresses and strains will add up. Want that object to look cool, perform perfectly for multiples of years then you have a challenge!

"Downdetector" is kind of a genius scam. It "detects" outages by counting hits for the service on its own page. If lots of people are checking, it just assumes that it's down.

It doesn't really "detect" anything.
You don't have adminstrative access to all of Hacker News. Therefore, you are not really on Hacker News. This is your logic.
The kernel decided to have a different uAPI on different architectures. This is not just struct size that might differ, but the fields available and their possible values. Imagine a JSON field being a numeric constant in one arch, but a string in another. I get why they did it, but it certainly causes... surprises.

I imagine the issue you experienced might have been either that you hardcoded the numeric size instead of using sizeof and then building on a different architecture, or that you redeclared the struct for one architecture, ignoring that you were building for another architecture.

Not to undermine the annoyance or surprise-factor of your bug, I am tempted to say that it falls into generic logic bugs rather than the fault of any system. Changing to an encoded with dynamic length for example would just introduce different classes of logic bugs, like the whole series of possible issues within JSON parsing/serialization and requiring dynamic buffers.

A struct on the other hand only requires referencing the right struct declaration - the only amount of care you need is to include and use them. In my opinion, this is the maximum possible convenience for such system.
It's true that you require a very rare and profound skill set to develop those tools (i.e. experts in software as well as chip design) but it's not as complicated as you describe. Scaling is trivial when you've got your data architecture right (because chip designs and layouts scale like maps basically) and there are zillions of low hanging fruits to harvest because any halfway modern UI or tool flow will easily outperform the interface mess that the commercial tools are offering you. People who are using open source EDA tools for automated/ai-assisted chip designs are already demonstrating this in publications this btw. Moreover, there is more than advanced node VLSI. You have analog, custom digital, RF, cryo, etc., etc., where better automation, more flexibility in workflow and interfaces, and dramatically reduced costs for tool access could actually revolutionize the entire field on a very small time scale.
Can you tell me more about the write amplification issue?

Fun thing is I’ve faced the same automation of incompetence at scale from the lawyers who run Florida’s child support system. There’s a deadbeat dad out there born 10 days before me with the same first and last name. Every time I move, the automation goes into action and it takes me hiring a lawyer remotely in Florida to get it to stop every time.
There is likely also a black market for the browsing history of verified accounts, or even just the verification act - for blackmail purposes. So the risk of a breach of such information would be another risk that the operator would have to manage.
An innovative and refreshing take on font design! Almost all other articles that I've come across on font design, are written by graphic designers who are at least moderately 1337 typographers, and who are pretty anal about things like kerning, and who come across as being fairly intolerant of non-designers.

Nice to see an example of how us mere mortal engineers can "design" a font, using a few rough dots, and a whole lot of arguably hacky (but also arguably quite clever) scripts. No doubt there are those who would cringe at the results; personally, I applaud them.
All of the "steals" pictured look anything but comfortable.

It is possible to have two thoughts in the head at the same time.

The Palestinians living in this geographical area have a connection based on the history of their families living in the area. The Jewish people have a connection to the area based on the fact that most of their culture was founded in the area, but were later driven out as consequence of Roman and Byzantine actions – wars, enslavement, expulsions etc.
This of course is the root of the whole conflict (with the additional pressure from surrounding hostile nations).

From what you have written it sounds like you mean that the Jewish people have no connection to this area. You also put words in my mouth that I have not said: "You’re suggesting the 90% native Palestinian population previously stole the land"

This is a difficult conflict to solve because both sides have valid arguments. It doesn't help to pretend one side doesn't have any valid arguments at all.

Correction: they tried colouring satellites darker, but that caused heat radiation difficulties, so they've gone back to reflective satellites. Doesn't sound like they tried very hard. Plus the satellites have gotten larger (= still more reflectivity.)
I am more skeptical of the perfect staging to make it look like a suicide theory.

Both of those killings were in pseudo-mafioso states. Both were also immediately recognized as murder. State-sanctioned murder of your own citizens on your own soil is a lot less commmon in a country like the US, although there are well as Mafia and organized crime murders. But I think successful staging as a suicide is uncommon outside of Hollywood and repressive governments.
That stat is from 2018. If you extrapolate the trend, it’s likely a different story.

So we have Shadow IT, our own Linux servers, JIRA, git, and now a couple off the shelf SaaS products we can configure ourselves and skip IT all together.
I think one of the value propositions / moats / benefit of scale (nowadays) for a mega corp like McDonald's is that the cost of e.g the kiosk software is spread over so tremendously many restaurants.

Even if they do follow local regulations and have mostly "isolated deployments" of things touching customer data, they might still have things like a centralised DNS server or update server for kiosk/POS software etc.

I would be pretty surprised if anno 2024 an organisation like McDonald's had regional independent SWE/Ops teams building essentially the same thing but for their region.

Agreed - it's not like you'd ever have to do SELECT * FROM Shapes WHERE 'type' = 'circle'.

Not long ago you could be a good brand an rely on it being good. Now most of them are just charging for the brand and not providing higher quality.

I am in the UK, I have also inherited Sri Lankan furniture from my parents and grandparents and I have lived there as well. The decline in quality is the same in both those countries. I guess it is global.
He may have been killed not because his own testimony was a threat to Boeing, but rather to make other presently unknown potential whistleblowers think twice and decide to never come forward in the first place. Sending an implied threat to Boeing employees.

For instance, any Boeing/Spirit employees who might be thinking about going to the FAA with information about who in management knew about and okayed the plug door "opening" scheme. Boeing surely wants the investigations to conclude that this is something no more than a few workers did of their own initiative and successfully hid from management, but that's probably not true.

Even in Switzerland, one of the most expensive places in Europe, I would consider 150k USD to be a good deal - and I'd have to pay all the tax and social insurance parts out of that too (I have a company).

For 125k in almost any other country on the continent you'd be extremely competitive, if not beating, any local offer.

> What's a contract? What's trust, or conspiracy? What's trade, or commerce, or a foreign nation? What does "declared" mean?

These have established meanings in existing law. What are you proposing as a plausible ambiguous interpretation of "declared"?

> This is the legal equivalent of "I can write Doom in one line, import doom; doom.start()".

That's two lines.

Also, it's not equivalent, because the original is actually a composition and not just a tautology. It's like saying that this one liner to find word frequencies in a file:

fmt -1 <file> | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn

(from https://old.reddit.com/r/linuxadmin/comments/nq45r/what_are_...)

...isn't a single line of bash because you haven't defined fmt or sort or uniq or '|'.
I think it wasn't censored because it was so critical of imperialism, so soviet censors viewed it as 'progressive' and aiding their cause.

I think it never occurred to censors that the satire of the book would transcend the Austro-Hungarian Empire and would work as a satire of a soviet bureaucracy just as well. This, it was widely available both in USSR and in other Eastern Block countries, and even had luxury editions, I still have one such edition.

Not a sofa; but I'm sitting in an Ecornes Stressless recliner.

It's the best piece of furniture I've ever bought. It's made from "engineered wood", covered in quite good leather; I should have chosen a lower grade of leather, because hide isn't as easy to look after as some of the lower-grade leathers.

FTR, I've bought sofas and armchairs from artisan/craftsman makers, from junk shops, and I've also bought cheap disposable shit. After the Stressless, my best buys were all from junk shops. But this Stressless, I more-or-less live in it.
If that's the case you should really eat a mostly meat from ruminants ( beef / goat, etc) contrary to chicken & pigs transform a large part of the less stable fats of plants.

In most countries you can find cows that graze in national parks and order ground beef & organs in bulk. But even with a bad diet those animals will be "healthier" to consume.

I’ve had the exact same gdpr training at two jobs (word for word it didn’t change in 3 years!) and it never ever covers the details, it’s all geared to in-office environments and skips over the fact that some systems might need to have these export tools built for them or that they have export but not all the fields.

I have had to use gdpr to get data a few times now and while it’s amazing that we can so easily do that now 30 days is never enough because i can tell that the export is being done manually then converted to pdf. Which means my data is no longer inside the system its in bits and pieces in someone's (usually non technical) downloads/desktop folder which feels way less safe to me!

So not far off compulsory school age in the UK, which is approximately 16. We do not get accused of child labour.

Until recently you could work once you left school. Now you cannot do a full time job until you are 18, but can become an apprentice (so you get some training as well as working). There is nothing to stop you doing nothing.

The requirement to not work until you are 18 has not been particularly beneficial. Brought to you (IIRC) by the same government that massively expanded the higher education system (a huge increase in the proportion of people going to university) for no real benefit.

I'm probably going to get some hate for this, but the LAMP stack.

- Can all be run off one big server

- No licenses or costs

- Super stable and battle proven

- Deployment, development, and debugging is stupidly simple

- If you don't want to do your own server admin there are millions of hosts

- Everything can be solved by Googling and copying and pasting

- Developers are easy to come by

- Frameworks such as Laravel and Symfony exist (not that you have to use one)

Remember, you said easiest... not best. :)

At 100% zoom on Firefox and Edge, the tops & bottoms of lower case letters have some very strange thinning/bolding going on. The top of the `e` char in "Syed Ahmed" is thinner (maybe 1px in height) than the lower curve of the same `e` character (maybe 3px in height). It looks like they have different font-weights for the top and bottom of the characters somehow.

Zooming in to 125% the effect goes away, and the font-weight at the top and bottom appear equally thick.
_A_ burger? Sure. _The_ burger? Not by a long shot.
