That is a very misleading summarization. It is a short article. The law requires several conditions:

* approach a police office
* approach has to occur "knowingly or intentionally"
* the officer has to be "lawfully engaged in the execution of his official duties"
* the approach has to happen *after* the person has been ordered "stop approaching or retreat

It seems like we have passed the point where reducing CO2 emission will avert global warming. Given this reality, a potential path forward is a three pronged policy:

A. Climate engineering to cool the planet in the short term [1]
B. Deployment of nuclear to meet present growing energy needs [2]
C. Accelerate investments in clean energy initiatives [3]

A & B are medium term solutions while C scales up over the next 50 years.

Genuinely: why does anyone believe almost anything these guys say? They’re not going to be honest - it’s their fiduciary responsibility to be dishonest.
Pretty much all teens have stuff they are hiding from their parents. Some of it is trivial, some might be pretty serious. For example I'd guess it's not very common for your kid to come home and announce he's started having sex (though one of mine did).
I'm sorry, but these are life experiences. You can't depend on technology in any situation, it's better to know how to inherently learn from and handle it. This is when and how you learn as a child.

I took a motorized avalanche course in Canada the end of this last winter season. One of the most surprising things in the class was how easy it was to get in. I talked to the instructor (world renowned in the space of motorized avalanche training) about it and asked why there weren't more students. He said that people buy the tools (avy beacon, probe, shovel, air bag, etc) but they no longer feel the need to learn how to use them. Over the weekend we did about a half dozen real world scenarios and it was shocking to see how the theory was hard to execute the first few times. The thing about an avalanche is that it doesn't matter how good I am with my tools when I'm buried. The last thing he mentioned in that part of our conversation was that people had recently started buying satellite communicators and that his theory was that it was enough of a security blanket for a lot of people who would have taken his classes like wilderness first aid.

The back country isn't much different than a kid in a busy metro. If someone is going to take the child the watch isn't going to do anything. That's the first thing the assailant will get rid of. At that point it's up to your kid to know what move to make next.

Technology is continually being used as a crutch, especially with regard to our kids. There's no other way to describe it other than absolutely disgusting.
Bikes are such wonderful machines: they're immensely practical, scrutable, cheap and easy to maintain, and just a joy to operate. There's something really liberating about having the option to bike for short-distance trips (the majority trips in the US are within 5 miles of home [1]) and avoiding the stress of traffic, parking, and gas prices.

My summation of what I've learned in this comment thread:

People are going to have to learn to talk in person again. Dont express opinions on the internet. Give up on that hope for a better world. Prepare for what you will do when your draft number comes up, because there will be wars and you will be expected to take part. Your food and water will be adulturated endlessly. You will be pushed around by cops.

Knowing influential party members (either/both) will be a necessity.
Pretty sure germany did not unconditionally surrender in world war 1. Japan was on the winning side so they definitely did not surrender.

World war 1 is not the same as world war 2.

The cafeteria manager likely had no idea they were running out of forks. A simple email or phone call to the cafeteria department would have probably solved the problem, since managers are likely looking for ideas of things to buy, especially if they've been recommended by customers (students).

Suppose I ask it questions like “who is Joe Biden?” and “who is Donald Trump?”. It is going to say “current President elected in 2020” and “former President elected in 2016”. And I imagine it doesn’t need any web search to answer those questions, it already knows.

But, is it smart enough to think “if today’s date is 2024-11-06, I need to do a web search to find out results of yesterday’s Presidential election?”

For the average adult human (even very many non-American adult humans), “who is current US President” is something they know off the top of their head, not something they have to always look up. I think inevitably it is going to perform worse at some point if it has to always look that up if it has changed recently. At some point the model is going to not look it up - or not pick it up from the results of its search - and hence get it wrong.

Suppose, hypothetically, Biden unexpectedly dies tomorrow (of natural causes) and Kamala Harris becomes President. Because the model won’t be expecting that, it wouldn’t necessarily think to do the web search necessary to find out that had happened.
We already use air tags for those outings, and they work really well. Maybe when he is going more out in his own will we consider a true smart watch so he can really roam, but he is still only 7, and we are still more worried about busy traffic on the street than him getting lost.

> It didn't, it was merged in 2015, a year after or so. No, staging doesn't count, it's a dumping ground for all sort of things that do not see the light of day.

kdbus didn't even make it into staging. Project mainline put in some serious work to get where it got.

And quite probably part of it going better was not insisting on becoming mandatory solution for everyone. If anything, it might have been less "wheelbarrows of cash" and more conflicts involving kdbus principal developer and Linus.

Srid is not far-right...

>No, I really don't. Your counter-example just seems like a false equivalence to me.

It's the same as:

"Personally, I don't feel sad with someone getting banned who grooms children."

Then one declares a wide array of behaviors, words, actions, inactions, opinions, orthogonal statements, etc. as "child grooming", "anti-LGBTQ", etc. and then use that as prima facie to oust the opposition.

No more obesity epidemic. Cleaner cities. Cheaper cities! Less micro-particles from tires filling our waterways. Less traffic, things that actually need to be transported by cars can get where they are going faster.

But then how do the road construction firms and automobile manufacturers make their bread?

An ancient version of svelte/sapper did something like this to me. I was pinning my versions correctly. A year or 2 later, I needed to make a one line change to my project. I was on a new computer. Neither my computer nor the existing netlify autodeploy could successfully build my project. Luckily, it was tiny enough to remake in any fresh SPA framework in less than an hour.

Usually, this happens with any tutorial/blog that tells you to pip/npm install and doesn't specify an exact version or provide a pinned package.json. if it's a year old, it almost always won't work without estimating what version of X was likely published at the time of blog entry.
I keep hearing that western EV manufacturers (aside from Tesla) are also selling their cars at a loss, in addition to many governments having rebate incentives. How does that differ to China?
> This is a big problem in an industry where NatSec is a major issue. This is a huge Musk foot gun.

All Ukrainians ought to be on their knees thanking God that Musk was born. Starlink is that vital to Ukraine, and he had zero obligation to provide it (let alone for free) when the Ukrainian government asked for his help early in the war. The US-funded Starlink subscriptions and Starshield have only increased the value Musk's enterprise provides to Ukraine, of course, but it all began for free.

Let me repeat: Zero obligation. Musk is not Ukrainian. The United States is, contrary to what you and many Redditors seem to believe, not actually at war with Russia. Ukraine is not a member of NATO or EU. He can say whatever he wants whenever he wants about anything—including which side he thinks is winning in a war that, again, the US is not fighting in—thanks to freedoms that exist in the US but not in Russia (or Ukraine). Musk is a lot more entitled to do so than you or me or every bleater on Reddit whose collective actions have saved fewer Ukrainian lives than the results of Musk's capital and innovation and risk-taking.
I wonder if there's another reason for Sam brokering deals with lots of major news outlet. Surely OpenAI won't try to exert any type of editorial control over these publications. That would be absurd!
> Not Be Flagrantly Incompetent

You and I may not be, but, not to besmirch coding bootcamps, there are some great employees coming out of them, but not all of them are great. Some of them don't even know SQL, and training them up on it would take an inordinate amount of time, given their background. So it's a lot of trust to put in a team of building the hottest new CRUD app, when "use an ORM" is an easy enough answer.

For queries in the hot path, you can apply a senior dev to optimize, but their time is limited and wants to be used most effectively. From the pushback I've received, this isn't a universally held belief, but the right tool in the right place, there are places for it. You're absolutely right that you don't need one to prevent SQL injection, but just like using Rust simply avoids a class of memory access bugs compared to C++, ORMs just avoid the problem from happening in the first place.
> I think the important part is whether the children are affected by the tracking.

This is an aspect discussed in “‘I've Got Nothing to Hide' and Other Misunderstandings of Privacy“

https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=998565

Even surveillance of legal activities can inhibit people from engaging in them. The value of protecting against chilling effects is not measured simply by focusing on the particular individuals who are deterred from exercising their rights. Chilling effects harm society because, among other things, they reduce the range of viewpoints expressed and the degree of freedom with which to engage in political activity.

Despite what Michal Sapka says, it was just the thing for me. In fact most of the drawbacks he mentions are advantages to me. Which is probably the point behind his article. I really like that my OS is not changing stuff with every update as even Linux vendors do now.
Show HN: Creating a viral pre-launch platform for collecting email addresses
Hey HN,

Just wanted to share this cool idea I whipped up in a day for my new project.

How it works is:

-When a user enters their email address, they must verify
-Upon verification, they are given a unique referral code they can share
-Sharing the unique referral code will reward them for verified emails

The idea is, rather than just collecting email addresses for launch, others can help you advertise and be rewarded for it.

I got this idea from Tim Ferriss’s ‘How to collect 100,000 email addresses in 1 week’ blog post.

Thinking of turning this into a product on it’s own that people can plug into their apps for pre-launch email collecting.

You'll have to enter your email and verify to see the whole experience.

What do you think?

This is a great post, thank you for posting it. Starting a business truly is great endeavor.

I mean #1. I am mostly talking about companies that pay such low wages that the government needs to subsidize with food stamps and other benefits. Or the fact that the job does not pay enough for rent. I don’t believe the monetary difference between the Walton’s and the cashier is ethical.

On the flip side I have seen employees give their life, blood, sweat and tears to a company that made the owners very wealthy. They were promptly laid off upon sale and did not benefit proportionally (or at all). This was a fast food franchise.

I guess everyone is being squeezed now.

I wish you all the best luck with your business.

When a government fears its citizens, it is a democracy. When the citizens fear the government, it is a tyranny.

Stop building the chains that will be used to enslave you.
I’d echo this - you’re not alone. Talk to someone who you can lean on. If not, may I suggest online therapy like betterhelp.com.

I have had a positive experience with a no judgement conversation with a wonderful listener who I can (and continue to) lean on when things are falling apart.

Hang in there. It will all work out.

DuckDB can do some pushdowns to certain file formats like parquet, but every release seems to be getting better and better at doing it.

I agree. I checked Helen Toner's resume on Linkedin and you're right that she seems very inexperienced for this role. She doesn't have any AI background nor has she been an exec at a company.

To me, this looks more of a case where Altman had a completely different vision for the company that the original board did not have or knew. In Toner's case, Altman likely did not respect her background nor what she brought to the table as a board member.
These kind of thing reminds me of Yusuke Endoh's works. He also made a spinning globe quine, but in Ruby instead of Javascript (referenced in the linked video above near 18:15):

The comment GP was responding to was in relation to taxpayer dollars. $11000/about 340000000 people in the US = 0.003 cents per person. Sure, not all people pay the same amount of taxes, but that's really not that much compared to other things that the federal government spends money on.

Conclusion? Yeah, the average person probably has more than 0.003 cents in their couch.
Sure I can patch any software to do anything I want. Which is what an extension is doing. I can patch any software I want to treat the A key as a modifier too. Still doesnt make it a good idea. And my point remains, Chrome, unpatched, does not support left and right modifier keys as modifiers. Not to mention I dont actually believe you. Post a link to this supposed extension of yours. I am guessing you wrote it and only you use it. And if you want to call the browsers used by 99.9999% of the population terrible in favor of some shit you cooked up yourself just to try to rescue your ridiculous point, good luck to you.

I'll just leave you with this promise, anytime you try to denigrate the kitty keyboard protocol I will be right there calling you out.
If I were going to work for someone I would prefer to work for a person who is so beloved by his employees that they’d rather quit than not work for him, absolutely.
I think you underestimate how much a general purpose webserver needs to be able to do. Do you have any specific criticism about the list of dependencies? What do you think is actually unnecessary?
I disagree. I assume the manager was quite aware, but whenever he had previously asked for resources from his own boss before, they refused and implied that he needed to try to use even fewer resources.

After your manager makes it clear multiple times that they do not want to spend any money, even on things that are important, many sane people will stop caring.

He may have told the boss multiple times that they were running out of forks, and the boss said "well, we have over 200 forks, that should be enough".

But in the end, I blame the higher-level main manager. Stupidity, poor communication, stinginess, these are all very common. The workers, even first line managers, can only fight so much against it.

The first manager may have already bought a ton of spoons on his own.
> how thin the board members' resumes are

This was my takeaway when the situation first came up. Toner has zero experience managing or running a business, and McCauley has a decade-old business with only a few dozen employees. Neither of them scream "strong candidate" for a board position.

Starboard Value's Jeff Smith: The investor CEO's fear most (2014)
A friend of mine with interesting parents had an experience like this, except it was planned by her father!

He told her they were going somewhere together, then dropped her off at a random metro station and told her if she couldn’t make it home in an hour she should call home with a pay phone, and here’s a quarter.

She brought it up in a pretty resentful way (understandably, because it’s basically abandonment?), but it was also a pretty formative experience in that she did pull it off and she’s a fiercely independent person.

Not giving parenting advice to be clear, just adding another colorful story! :)
