Share Your Dining Experiences
As someone passionate about food and the social aspects surrounding it, I'm conducting a survey to better understand people's social dining habits.

If you have a few moments to spare, I would greatly appreciate your insights. The survey covers various aspects of social hangouts, including the activities you and your friends typically engage in, how often you dine together, and the duration of your hangouts. Your responses will contribute to a better understanding of social dining dynamics.

Here's the link to the survey: https://forms.gle/oRmdQ68t3NazvqtDA

Thank you in advance for your participation!
In a general sense, if a company sells another company a product, should the responsibility for the safety of the product rest with the manufacturer, the operator, or somewhere in between?
It's definitely happening in the USofA with federal authorities acting on behalf of the FAA wrt airport security ...

Sure, that's not commercial .. but it's a Federal LEO with a tan shirt and shorts and a truck with "UAS Mitigation Systems" in the back.

https://www.faa.gov/airports/new_entrants/uas_detection_miti...

UAS mitigation or countermeasures include the capability to disrupt, disable, destroy, take control of, and/or provide alternate flight instructions to a UAS.

Some UAS detection systems may have countermeasure capabilities built-in, which can be disabled, while others may offer them as an optional modular capability.

FAA currently does not support the usage of C-UAS systems by any entity other than the federal departments (Defense, Homeland Security, Justice, and Energy) that have explicit statutory authority to use this technology.

It's kept on the relative down low but it's a similar situation in most G20 countries; quasi federal, quasi military, hard to get hold of w/out specific clearances, mostly only usable with explicit statutory authority ... but "leaky" in the same sense as "fake" mobile cell towers and other technical LEO gear has been in the past, out there with systems to hack cars, etc.

This take appears to have been "too hot for HN to handle"

For everyone downvoting, I'd be interested in the proportion of articles that discuss race as a percentage of total articles. If the number is more than the number of black people in America, I'd be willing to consider that we've "overcorrected". But a quick search around the web isn't yielding any clear results on this to me.
I took a glance at that “Nature of Predators” book, but couldn’t get past the first sentence. Did the author really mean “sapience,” or “sentience?”
Fair. You can do those kinds of analyses from historical data too, though I don’t think CCTV would have much of an effect. Try free school lunches, after school support, parental benefits etc.
Joseph Pulitzer's retirement letter from 1907 (referencing St. Louis's metro paper):

I know that my retirement will make no difference in its cardinal principles, that it will always fight for progress and reform, never tolerate injustice or corruption, always fight demagogues of all parties, never belong to any party, always oppose privileged classes and public plunderers, never lack sympathy with the poor, always remain devoted to the public welfare, never be satisfied with merely printing news, always be drastically independent, never be afraid to attack wrong, whether by predatory plutocracy or predatory poverty.

It was he of course who had previously declared:

Our Republic and its press will rise or fall together. An able, disinterested, public-spirited press, with trained intelligence to know the right and courage to do it, can preserve that public virtue without which popular government is a sham and a mockery. A cynical, mercenary, demagogic press will produce in time a people as base as itself.
Wikipedia suggests 0.01% of the US population dies each year (30-40,000) due to lack of health insurance. I’m sure the real number is at least double.
Exploring the Offline Documentation Landscape
a) most libraries are not UI frameworks undergoing significant perpetual rewrites (and a lot of the distaste towards those frameworks comes from the perpetual rewrites)

b) even given that, they share a mindset, and being able to talk about that mindset has value (trivial example: all the GTKs are GObject C libraries, Qt is a C++ thing.

You're right if and only if there is no transferable knowledge communicable by saying "GTK", regardless of version (or you're just not talking to anyone).
Hopefully now that there is a website earning money from their chats more people will be willing to make dumps and share them for free.

> Twist on an Old Scam

I fail to understand what the scam is, considering it means to deceive and defraud.
Just got cheap last-minute flights on a United 737-Max-9. The next cheapest flight was $3500 for a family of 4; this one was $1400. Sometimes it pays to risk your life on airplanes other people won't fly on.

If you figure 200 people on the plane (it wasn't full) and they each paid $500 less than market rates, that's $100K that they lost on one flight alone.
Concerts aren't a necessity. As much as Ticketmaster/LiveNation "fleece" fans, secondhand sellers a/k/a scalpers do it even more. The demand is there, if the prices were too high the tickets would not sell.

If you don't like what a concert ticket price costs, don't go.

Do one thing, make dividents you receive from companies as taxable at 30% instead of 0 or 10% and see how taxes get generated.

All the bs about "marginal rate" and yet people will find ways. If you force companies to deduct and pay taxes and then remit balance to the shareholder, the taxes collection will happen.

Also, increase capital gains tax.

In India its 15 or 20%, short or long term which is too little. Make it 30%

All I can see at first glance is a blue circle with some not very well-defined shape on it and generic mobile-style shadow. When I zoom it up, I can appreciate that it's a somewhat abstract rendition of the cyber woodpecker, but after all this time (and I'm talking years, not a week) I'm still not seeing it at first glance when the icon is small. It's just a blue circle that, unlike Chromium's icon with its distinct dot in the middle, gets lost among other circles.

I think the issue I have with it isn't with the "logo" shape itself, but rather with how it's embedded into and composed within an icon. I think it could work well on something else than a plain circle. Maybe even just improving the shadow and adjusting color shades to make it more contrast-y could already help.

I think I agree on your take. Mental strength in people in adverse conditions is not the rule, it is the exception. Most won't have enough of it to overcome the difficulties and will instead fall prey to easy traps like drugs etc. It is easy for most of us, who have managed well enough to be commenting here which probably implies a baseline amount of mental strength, to take the shining examples and think that these examples are universal tools of motivation. To a person that is dealing with the deep-seated problems we are talking about, that could be, indeed, motivation but also could feel like we are mocking them or trivializing their struggles. Only you can feel your toothache, me saying other people experience it and get over it, doesn't lower your pain (obviously this is a scale and this analogy isn't universal).

And Republicans used to have way more college educated. Both parties seem to have swapped some people.
I did an internship at NASA where I worked on the lunar dust problem. A big part of the problem is that the dust gets charged by solar radiation since the moon has no atmosphere. During my internship they had me read reports from each of the moon missions discussing how the astronauts dealt with the dust. What they basically ended up on is opening the door on their way back to earth so that the vacuum sucks the dust out.

Democracy is already obsolete as a form of government. For democracy to work, you need an educated public, i.e. electorate, that is reasonably cohesively informed by a legitimate press. The press has been destroyed by the collapse of the barrier-to-entry of publishing and the collapse of the monopoly on attention which enabled them to make good money advertising. Now there’s just an endless sea of web-based, dubious publishing outfits. Nobody really knows what is true, nobody can agree on what is true or right or even real (e.g. “fake news”) — there is no longer a cohesive, educated, informed public that can more or less agree on a view of reality and elect a government to manage that reality. Democracy is a dead man walking. The really scary thing is we’re not ready with its replacement.

To me it seemed like the Democrats changed, not the blue collar workers.

A lot of it is race, Democrats started essentially calling all White people racist, i.e. blaming all white people for generational racism. Tons of people who were not racist did not appreciate that - personally I believe it's why Hillary lost, her "basket of deplorables" comment lost her a lot voters.
I think it works fine? Multipoint is mainly controlled on the earbud side, what audio sources you have usually doesn't matter.

The only issue I've come across though is many earbuds will only play one audio source at a time. Which is annoying but further hampered by some audio sources that will emit an imperceptible audio signal even when they aren't playing any sound, causing the earbuds to never switch away from that device.
That itself is an ahistorical take. Tax as a percent of the economy has gone through the roof, both as a percent of GDP, and as inflation adjusted dollars.
If you compare to a benchmark like the 1940s, tax% of GDP has more than doubled, and GDP has increased ~4x. This means someone today taxes are about 10X the taxes (controlling for for inflation!)

Consider that 40% of US GDP now is collected in some form of taxation (city, state, and federal).[1] 40 cents of every dollar earned is taxed and spent as the government chooses. This is more than between FDR and Regan, and much more than the 20s (~15% of GDP).
Very interesting; I didn't know about this before. Reading the wikipedia article about it, it really doesn't seem like what we think of as "slavery" though. It actually seems more like a form of taxation, but instead of paying the government with money, you pay with your time and labor.
It’s NPR, all their listeners think about these topics obsessively.

> We've given Ukraine billions in money and resources

On a drip feed. That means when a strategic opening emerges, e.g. Russian warships within Storm Shadow range, they got one or two pot shots off before running out of ammo, letting the Russians retreat and adapt.

Ukraine needs more air-defence batteries and ammunition. It needs F-16s. (For both offense and defense.) And it needs the ability to strike valid military targets in Russia, the way it has been doing with its own weapons, the way Russia has been doing to it.
For the folks new to Lynch movies don't forget to watch his possibly the strangest of movies: Eraserhead. I have watched it more than 5 times and everytime I watch it I learn something new.

And btw this scene from his movie is just gold: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UozhOo0Dt4o
I similarly stopped listening to NPR around 2018, because they really leaned into news commentary with a very one-sided bias. I could no longer stand the preachiness of their newer programming, and it seemed that the more established folks like Robert Siegel and Steve Inskeep got roped into toeing the line as well. I think the Trump era really broke a lot of news sources I previously relied on.
These are the same thing. A shape with a solid boundary is a a signal with a discontinuous step: If you Fourier it, it has infinite nonzero terms, therefore you can't represent it exactly with any finite amount of frequencies, and therefore a finite amount of samples.

In the case of Moiré patterns in pictures, we have lines in the real world that need to fit into pixels that fit a larger area than the Nyquist rate of those lines. The Moiré effect in pictures is just the interference pattern caused by this aliasing.

If you look at just a column of the image, and imagine the signal as being the brightness varying over the Y coordinates, you can imagine the mortar being an occasional regular pulse, and when your sampling rate (the pixel density) isn't enough, you get aliasing: you skip over, or overrepresent, the mortar to brick ratio, variably along the signal.

https://imgur.com/a/BiZcxG5

Now if you look at the graph in that picture, doesn't that look awfully similar to what happens if you try to sample an audio file at an inferior rate for display purposes?

In fact, try it right now, download Audacity, go to Generate>Tone, click OK with whatever settings it's fine, press Shift+Z to go down to sample level zoom, then start zooming out. Eventually, you'll see some interesting patterns, which are exactly the sort of aliasing caused by resampling I'm talking about:

You and I have very different ideas about what's fair.
It isn't, people think NATO and Europe are letting them down too. However, the USA is the most capable and outspoken when it comes to the ideals Ukraine is fighting to defend. Freedom, democracy, justice, are all major ideals that countless American and innocents have been killed to defend. Whole countries have been ripped apart over this, Vietnam, Syria, Iraq...

This makes the abandonment of Ukraine now even more noteworthy considered they're bravely trying to defend all the things we thought the USA was about.

It seems shocking, considering until we now, we considered Russia an adversary to the the west and not someone we'd be helping win.
Why do we assume cash ?

It can be in kind, we already do this a bit current donors get preferred for donations when they need it themselves.

Why cannot we extend that and say entire health care expenses for the rest of the donor’s life the state will take care for example ? it doesn’t even have to in. full , they can even just improve coverage , and make insurance companies remove restrictions like pre-existing conditions for such donors .

There are plenty of benefits like this the state can do, perhaps tax credits , exemptions, priority in any government program , cheaper mortgages and so on , even private sector can step in with benefits like we do for veterans.

I think the point is not to pay and make it an economic transaction , but to reward I.e. incentivize people to do donate more.

The benefits can also extend to next of kin like say financial aid for college etc(donors shouldn’t be that young to directly benefit from education aid)it would then also factor for non living donors
