Are you suggesting Texas is systemically a great place to live for non white folks? Refuting the statement above?

Seattle definitely has a history of redlining and race exclusion. It's also farther from the U.S. south, where population densities of non white folk historically lived. That city is almost certainly alienating to non white folks from a "few people here look like me" perspective.

But Texas has a higher rate of incarceration for Black folks, per 100,000 Black folks than Washington. I don't know that I'd call the state a great place to live, even if lots of people call it home. A high population of any one group does not mean that the state is a good place for those people. Or that those people will have cultural acceptance. Using your examples, Oregon and Washington and Texas all have about 50% women, but Oregon and Washington are much less likely to remove access to women's healthcare.
Can we apply this to vacuum cleaners too?
"Burning the hives was more painful when other countries used tools like vaccines, antibiotics and sterilisation - measures prohibited in New Zealand and in some export markets.

"Most farmers vaccinate their cows for diseases every single year, but it's illegal to vaccinate the hive," Brown said."

My understanding is the vaccine was only just approved last year in the US, it's the first of its kind, and it might not even be commercially available on a widespread basis yet.

It's it really illegal to vaccinate the hive in New Zealand? It seems odd that a vaccine would be illegal if it was just invented last year. Even in areas where the vaccine is legal, it's not going to save an already infected hive.

I'm not familiar with the sterilization techniques the beek alludes to. I assume some jurisdictions allow irradiation for remediation. It seems most jurisdictions require killing the bees, then burning the frames, and charring the inside if the hive body. It seems other remediation methods are less common.
Too each their own, that's the great thing with programming, you can find what you like/want and use that. As you can probably tell I don't feel it is a burden on the backend. I subscribe to the thought that state is managed on the backend, and the browser is just the users client to view those hypermedia responses provided by the server. Template fragments in Go make it easy to only serve the necessary HTML from my templates, or if it's a full page request I can send the entire page.

I'm not sure of anything like what you described, good luck on the search for it. If you find/develop anything ensure you post an obscene amount of memes on twitter for optimal discoverability by tech influencers.
I bet your POV is more common than traditionally thought
My point in the GP comment is that "recording crucial evidence" does very little to actually stop or prevent crime. It might help after the fact if not for all the policies around releasing serial criminals and not prosecuting "minor" crimes.

In practice, though, the police generally show up after the crime has happened and take statements. In some places outside of NYC, they actually use that information to catch people and prosecute them. In NYC it goes into a black hole.

I am sure the idea they had when they bought these things is the drone carrying a speaker and saying "Police, drop the gun," and the armed suspect will magically drop the gun, but we all know that's not going to happen.

The use I can see is chasing people who run on foot, but there are a lot of problems with that. They can just go into a building to escape, run around a couple of corners, or even just stand there until the real cops arrive and continue to evade arrest the old fashioned way.
Sort of strange reading all the praise here like Shein isn't literally Temu for clothes as well as a complete disaster for the environment, pumping out thousands of tonnes of what is essentially land-fill garbage every week like all the other fast fashion companies but on a much bigger scale.

Suppose the tech is good behind the scenes though, am I right guys?

Many people test their distributed applications using Docker-in-Docker because it is an easy way to create realistic multi-container environments. But as applications grow, testing in DinD can lead to inefficient performance, envirionments that don't mirror production, security & scalability concerns and more.

This tutorial talks about the benefits of testing in Kubernetes over DinD and walks through how to set up your environment.

Have you run into limitations with testing in DinD?
I’m a bit nuts, so bear with me: Maybe we should seriously have discussions about, let’s just call it, Email2.

We have a new DNS record type, MX2, with a proper signing algorithm that’s mandatory.

Meanwhile, we put it in spec that every MX2 mailbox, must be a valid MX mailbox, if the receiver chooses to accept MX.

This might sound insane - except, I argue, with proper planning, it would be like the HTTPS transition.

If you could even just get Gmail, Outlook, Zoho, and Yahoo on board - every piece of software would be forced to start supporting Email2. Especially, especially, if they announced that come 2030, all non-Email2 letters always go to Junk. They’ll still arrive - possibly forever - but the incentive to fix it will be there.
If you showed the Spirited Away one to Miyazaki, he would probably call it an insult to life itself.

> The big caveat to saying that I’m not worth keeping alive, though, outside the value the people who love me claim I provide, is that I’m also generating data for clinical trials helps move the state-of-the-art forward.

Interesting perspective here.

The FDA maintains an open database of clinical trials that is accessible over at https://clinicaltrials.gov and they have an API available as well[0]. A separate group called the Clinical Trials Transformation Initiative (CTTI) out of Duke maintains the AACT database[1] that is a nightly export of the FDA database to Postgres (useful for anyone that wants to do data analysis on clinical trials).

A writeup here about the background of this database for anyone interested: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/bestworst-kept-secret-data-re...

There are a few companies in this space that provide patients a way to find clinical trials and most regional healthcare systems will have a web page dedicated to listing their ongoing clinical trials.

For my part, I've been building an AI agent that watches the daily change feed from clinicaltrials.gov and sends out a personalized newsletter that filters for specific trials and answers specific questions about those matched trials: https://zeeq.ai. Hopefully a useful tool for anyone that is interested in participating in or tracking clinical trials.

And every good engineer was once also a decent illustrator. Such skills are less respected these days as we draw so many lines between art and engineering. Few if any recent engineering grads could freehand a simple image of a bird.
The entire coast of Florida is comprised of vacation homes and condos right in the path of hurricane storm surge on tiny sandy keys a few feet above sea level.

Fortunately, the feedback loop is finally disintegrating. Unfortunately for those left holding the bag, it's disintegrating by insurers fleeing the state and leaving properties uninsurable - just deserts for those who knew the risks and thought they could profit off the situation, but terrible for locals forced out of their homes.

I too have little sympathy for those who rebuild and increase development in a river floodplain.

One could make the same argument against car insurance, and most kinds of insurance.

I'm pretty sure that if car insurance were somehow banned, especially medical-liability, fewer people would own and operate motor vehicles.

Insurance exists to put an upper bound on risk; the bad thing will hurt or be inconvenient, but with insurance it won't kill you. Perverse incentives appear in the case where the insurance payout is greater than the inconvenience/pain of the insured event. Until that threshold is breached, however, I don't think there's a case against insurance (and insurers that inadvertently pay people to have accidents rapidly go out of business).
Wouldn't your premium just be based on the density of your hives? Insurance insures your individual risk. If you increase your risk, you pay more for it.
I know that's how it's called, I already found that much. There are too many tools and too much information. I was looking for someone with specific examples and what worked for them.
> The "lack of privacy" was a small scale, limited situation and falls apart now.

It wasn't industrialized and indelible. There have already been adults with real world suffering from someone digging up some old tweet they made as a pre-teen.

Might be easier to just install cargo and use cargo to install rust tools. I've found it's much less hassle than using a generic package manager.
The real idea is to get the public acclimated to police drone use by first using them in some mostly-innocuous way. Then in 10 years, they find some other pretense to start attaching weapons. For your protection, of course.
I watched the demo video, and, IMHO, even the muffled version of the leaf blower is way too loud.

It doesn't look to me, at a quick skim, that this insurance would cover disease, or the loss of income in the future.

> numpy (and swig) predates Unladen Swallow

Sure, but that doesn’t contradict what I said. Numpy is surprisingly old, but in 2010 (my impression was that) supporting it was in no way table stakes for an implementation of Python. Hell, Jython was still occasionally taken seriously then, and Microsoft still pretended they cared about IronPython.

> I would suggest the C API is just as much a part of Python as the standard library

As things stand, yes, no question.

The problem is, it was never designed that way. In particular, it cannot (or at least is not designed to) support any other memory management strategy but CPython’s, thus efforts like HPy[1]. For example, while the language docs admonish you not to depend on __del__ running at any particular moment, if we consider the Python/C API a part of the language, then the language has to behave as though it uses naïve reference counting and occasionally runs a cycle collector. And that’s the easy part—think about how deeply the GIL is rooted there.

That is not good design for something that’s part of the language, as it effectively is. It was never intended to be and never received commensurate amounts of care. It just turned out that way—and ain’t that a sad thing to admit.

Nah, bro, it's just a prank.

On a more serious note, it's a small wonder sodium hypochlorite is not yet regulated as, say, potassium permanganate, considering its various uses.
Bingo!

I do love the very imaginative scenarios posted to this thread. Drones and chasing dangerous suspects! Drones gathering evidence and filming the crime scene! These are great. In reality, the police are always going to favor enforcing things with high revenue/effort ratios, which don't put their own skins at risk. Essentially, milking non-violent people who can be fined for something and are likely to pay the fine, while ignoring violent people and thieves. If someone was getting robbed in front of me and I was standing there filming it, cops would probably ignore the robbery and go after me for "interfering with an investigation" or something.
AI hype is over. AI exhaustion is setting in
There are an excellent way to see which sites I really can't trust. Which is unfortunately many of them. If they are willing to use that many dark patterns to try engineer accidentally acceptance of stalking, then I have no doubt that they'd carry drive-by downloaded rootkits if that were still as easy as it once was, there was a fraction of a sniff of profit in it, and they thought they'd get away with it (or could convincingly blame someone else).

The majority of the cookie banners that you see aren't even compliant with the regulations that the site owners claim that they are caused by, some aren't even close to compliant. At that point it isn't “malicious compliance” but instead “overstepping as far as they feel safe”. Almost none of the cookie pop-overs would be needed at all if allowing advertisers to follow you around your life was opt-in. You don't need to ask permission for anything that is strictly necessary, like non-permanent session tracking & auth tokens, presenting that part at all is part of the theatre to try convince users that the regulations are the problem not the sites themselves doing things that need to be regulated.

One of the most annoying bits of many is “legitimate interest” which basically means “we see your opt-out preference, but fuck you and your preferences we want to stalk you and we will”. Note that these are usually implemented in such a way that if you don't explicitly object they'll be allowed, even if you click the “reject all” button without opening the concertina UI element that hides them from default view.

The phrase “cookie banner” itself is misleading, though we are guilty of that as well as them. You are opting in/out of the ability for them to do things, cookies are just part of the options they have for implementing those doings.

And while I'm having a little rant… “We value your privacy!” — no you don't, you lying sack of shit. You value the opportunity to sell the possibility of invading my privacy to the highest bidder.
Flood insurance is generally very expensive. That's should be a massive downside. I won't even look at a house if I know it needs flood insurance. I've seen a few that I would have been interested in had they not required the insurance - meaning I found the flood risk to be acceptable and there were mitigating factors if it did occur.

Show HN: AstrologyVeda (Astrology and Horoscope Website)
Hi guys,

I created this simple website for horoscope and astrology. Currently it has daily, weekly, monthly and yearly horoscope and also moon horoscopes. I need your review on how it looks and what can I improve on it. I will keep on adding new features but would like to keep it as clean as possible as most of the astro websites are very cluttered. Thanks

Lifetime Texan here. Ten years ago I would have said that Texas was a model for rational conservative governance (and I would have said it with a tinge of grudging respect as someone who's personal politics drift in the other direction), but I will not say that now; eventually the lunacy crept in, and nothing good is going to come of it.
To be fair, if that's what you need ProtoBuf isn't the only option. Cap'n Proto[1], JSON Schema[2], or any other well supported message-definition language could probably achieve that as well, each with their own positives and negatives.

I don't think it will ever catch fire in animation studio workflows. I can't see it beating the current process of applying toon rendering to 3D geometry. Though it may help renderers add variation to the output in a way that's more authentic and less random.

I'm wondering if it's at all useful in understanding / improving AI's ability to infer semantic meaning from even real images in a variety of scenarios? Like the ability to re-interpret an interpreted construction (drawing) of a scene.

One area of application may be helping machines better understand hand drawn human input?

Yes. At a minimum it’s very easy to imagine contracts on the order of 10k per month and 100k per month. If you read about enterprise sales those numbers are normal.

In my opinion their huge valuation is wack but the parent comment wasted their time doing math based on $20/month services - not even including all the add-ons they have in the “hobby”/small project tier.

This is really insightful.
It's not clear to me the profile of the people making these graffitis. At least some of them are made by left-wing anarchists given the slogan. Also, I suspect it's a very small number of people who are responsible for most of them: when paying attention, it's clear that a lot of these "signatures" refer to the same groups or persons.

So not sure community outreach would help with those.
And fear. Our culture is not good at death. Thanks for the book recommendation, definitely going to pick this up!

Edit to excerpt a great review from Goodreads: "If you think you might get older as time goes by and/or think you might even die at some time (or have relatives or other loved ones to whom this might apply), I urge you to read this book."
No, it's not like Go, you have to opt into async. (There was a time before 1.0 where it was, but that was removed.)

My reading is that, since their technique was to learn something and then immediately apply it to their project, they began making it async before they realized it was better of without it. Seems like a good learning experience to me, I think this approach is good.
We use it in a client-facing application to keep state of a complex configuration, primarily as a means of having a URL-safe way to encode that configuration. It works great, very happy with it.
From the wording, it sounds like they are conscious of the potential for data leakage and have taken steps to avoid it. It really depends on how they are applying AI/ML. It can be done in a private way if you are thoughtful about how you do it. For example:

Their channel recommendations:
"We use external models (not trained on Slack messages) to evaluate topic similarity, outputting numerical scores. Our global model only makes recommendations based on these numerical scores and non-Customer Data"

Meaning they use a non-slack trained model to generate embeddings for search. Then they apply a recommender system (which is mostly ML not an LLM). This sounds like it can be kept private.

Search results:
"We do this based on historical search results and previous engagements without learning from the underlying text of the search query, result, or proxy"
Again, this is probably a combination of non-slack trained embeddings with machine learning algos based on engagement. This sounds like it can be kept private and team specific.

autocomplete:
"These suggestions are local and sourced from common public message phrases in the user’s workspace."
I would be concerned about private messages being leaked via autocomplete, but if it's based on public messages specific to your team, that should be ok?

Emoji suggestions:
"using the content and sentiment of the message, the historic usage of the emoji [in your team]"
Again, it sounds like they are using models for sentiment analysis (which they probably didn't train themselves and even if they did, don't really leak any training data) and some ML or other algos to pick common emojis specific to your team.

To me these are all standard applications of NLP / ML that have been around for a long time.
You missed that servers processing email routinely add or adjust headers. And some servers add trailing content.

DKIM was designed to work with email as it exists, so the signer can pick which headers to include in the signature. And l= was included to allow for mailing list servers and other things to add trailers without breaking signatures or needing to sign again.

This is fear mongering bs. These crimes would have been committed with other guns if not with ones formerly owned by government agencies.

Government agencies throwing out old inventory instead of selling it would a total waste of money for little to no benefit to the public.

In this context, usually it means that you would lose access to a market that you sell to. So, some market for NZ honey won't accept the honey if the bees have been treated. That may be geographical, or it may be something like an organic certification.
