It's not a problem of reflectivity, it's a problem of resolution. In order to detect something distinctly from other things (i.e. resolve that thing), you must be able to distinguish its reflected energy from that of other things by separating them along one or more dimension. Range is usually a good discriminator, but there are many things at (nearly) equal range to the radar. Azimuth is typically not great, because azimuth resolution requires a physically wide aperture, and real estate on the bumper is expensive. Doppler is great for moving things because it's easy to design a waveform with a small doppler resolution, and most moving things (cars, bikes, people) don't move at exactly the same speed as other moving things. However, nonmoving things have a very consistent velocity of precisely 0, and there are lots of them. So they can be very hard to resolve, and thus to detect.

Kinda ironic considering which site posted the article + it's not even true. We should all take a step back and remind ourselves that we do not have the universal truth or are immune to "brainwashing".
> People know what they want, and will vote with their wallets.

Sure, but in this case there's stacked incentives against people being able to vote with their wallets in the first place with ecosystem lock-in. The companies are incentivized to prevent people from being able to easily switch to a competitor, which is exactly why most people don't, and by and large the general populace isn't going to be savvy enough to recognize that's what's happening.

Like you said, the way you combat that is having a "well informed" public, but who's going to be responsible for informing the government? That's the entire point of the US FTC, is representing the interests of US consumers and paying attention to related issues.

> Governments are out of touch with what people need

Yes, governments are going to be slow and conservative w.r.t. what current public opinion is, because organizing large groups and institutions is difficult.
Clearly the symptoms aren't the same as just holding your breath, which makes me think that it is not, in fact, completely nonreactive. (But I'm a total noob to biochemistry.) Similar to Nitrous Oxide, which definitely has a powerful psychedelic effect and is not at all simply hypoxia.
Who is the "we" here? If you're a Cloudflare customer, you're probably glad to have Cloudflare automatically defend your website against supply-chain attacks like this: after all, security is one of their selling points.

when does cloudflare starts to inject ads into my content

You content, as in, you the developer who is making a website, and has set up Cloudflare in front of your website? Presumably they wouldn't inject ads into your website, or else you'd stop using Cloudflare: just change the nameservers in DNS to point to someone else.
You spent your entire childhood getting used to western composition (assuming that’s dominant in your area); even nursery rhymes introduce basic melodic structures and harmony, so you’re acclimated to the 12 tones with slight pitch irregularities away from equal temperament. I’d say good stuff can be made in any medium, it’s down to whether good artists are working with it. When you grow up in a culture that uses a tuning system, its a bad career move to make music outside of it. I think microtones are worth exploring for their novelty and for the exploration of different vibes, to see if there’s something cool in there that could be brought into mainstream music. I’m a musician so I probably find that more interesting than most people do.

Interestingly, very often security is also not the real goal of entities that are supposedly in charge of security, whether specialized security vendors or in house security teams; compliance and cover-your-ass is. I have seen more than once that the CYA security theater in fact directly causes security problems.

Quite often, the rare secure systems are built by great product teams who understand and are passionate about user data and security of the product themselves and architect the system accordingly.
Yeah, how can the body tell which noble gas it's breathing? As the article mentions, the xenon is exhaled in its original form without having been metabolized or having caused any chemical changes in the body!
Evolution is optimizing for survival, not crop yield.

I have heard this said, mainly because some patterns can be made unnecessary with first-class functions and pattern matching. Closures are emulated with explicit objects, and the visitor pattern is equivalent to pattern matching. Something that's pretty interesting, though, is that it's a transform called defunctionalization. There's an article about it [1] that has been shared before on HN.

One form of defunctionalization is the well-known transformation of a recursive function into one that uses an explicit stack.

The thing is, I don't think defunctionalization (from the equivalent functional form) present in object-oriented languages is strictly worse. Defining things with explicit objects may sometimes be more understandable, and more extensible; for example, the command pattern could be implemented as a closure, but then you can't later add an "undo" method to it later.

Here's an example where defunctionalization makes the code more readable, not less.

Haskell has a difference list [0] data structure; the purpose of it is that you can concatenate two difference lists in constant time, and then turn it into one long normal linked list in O(n) time. This gives much better performance than concatenating lists directly all the time. It's a lot like a rope, except for lists, not strings, and it's immutable.

But the code is somewhat cryptic; it makes use of partial application and stores the tree in terms of partially applied functions. The "Demystifying DList" [0] article I shared shows a defunctionalized form explicitly defined as a tree in concrete data types.

To those interested in it, if you're familiar with the syntax of ML-like languages, I'd recommend the papers [2], [3], and [4].

I'm fairly certain when administered medically it's a controlled mix of oxygen and xenon, like nitrous at the dentist. They're not asphyxiating you, these molecules are psychoactive.

I believe only until the bank does some initial plausibility checks at first.

Actual dispute resolution can take quite long and you’re not even directly dependent on the outcome. For example, if you lose a card and it gets used in a physical store fraudulently, your bank will most likely not be able to win a dispute, but they’ll usually still have to reimburse you.

The thing that matters to you as the cardholder is only fraud liability; if and how your bank is made whole by the merchant is their concern. That’s the same across credit and debit.

That will only be the case if light absorbence is the primary limiting factor for the plant. If something else is a bigger limiting factor (e.g., nutrients, pests, water, temperature, pollinators, and so on), then a more darkly colored plant will not be meaningfully more likely to survive and reproduce than its lightly colored neighbors.

Outside of human-directed breeding, we typically only see darkly colored plants in locations with low light and with few other evolutionary pressures: deep understory tropical plants, for example.

Meanwhile, in locations with high light and other evolutionary pressures, plants can sometimes evolve to be quite pale. For example, desert succulents are often very light colors because they need to deflect light to keep cool and preserve water.
Apparently a general, Juan José Zúñiga was removed as commander of the Bolivian army yesterday, and he responded with this. Makes it a bit understandable why they would want to get rid of him.
> Who says the right to bodily autonomy is the most “fundamental freedom?”

Let's extend that line of argument: Who says the term "fundamental freedom" doesn't include the right not to be enslaved based on your skin color? No, it wasn't the Thirteenth Amendment, which merely codified that right: It was four years of one of the most-destructive wars the world had then ever seen, leaving hundreds of thousands of Americans dead or maimed, and the South impoverished for the better part of a century.

Conversely, the South (purportedly) seceded from the Union because a few thousand of its oligarchs and their acolytes felt that they had a "fundamental right," a divine right even, to continue to enslave millions of kidnapped Africans and their descendants. That didn't work out so well for them (nor, sadly, for the liberated blacks).

Ultimately, when claims of "fundamental rights" mean enough to enough people, those claims will be vindicated — or not — by force of arms.

TL;DR: FAFO — one way or another.
Maybe in some circles, but the abstract idea of God being love (assuming one has faith that consciousness and free will exists in reality) go back millennia. The abstractions predate the Simpson’s ‘beard in the sky’ by a few years ;)
You said crypto but you forgot where running it in production writes the checkbox change event to the blockchain. Checkbox display states only get read from the blockchain, obvi. Otherwise how could it possibly be secure

As a Ukrainian growing up and still living in Denmark and who has spoken to other Ukrainians working at those farms, I have never heard of “slave like conditions”. I’ve heard of hard manual labour and occasional disagreements with the owners of the farms though
Ive never heard of anybody ever dieing from it, although I could see it happening in freak cases. If I had a pace maker I might be a little more careful but the only real risk I consider from it is a lot of pain and a tiny arc burn where there was electrical contact. If you are dumb enough to purposefully stick your finger in a spark plug hole and crank the engine though I think that is on you. You shouldn't have your hands in the engine compartment at all when cranking a motor unless you are an expert already.
> Xenon is unique among psychedelic drugs because it’s a pure element. It leaves the body exactly as it entered, completely unchanged.

I very doubt it is true. The article poorly hand waves later that a brain without oxygen will starve.

I bet shooting this crap for some short term high will burn your brain cells, even if mixed with oxygen.
> e.g. for a paper, and know exactly which page it's coming from - though this only works for book scans and is a somewhat specific use.

I'd include that as "intended to be printed". I should have said "unsuitable for anything that isn't printed matter", though.

In the purely electronic world, there are much better ways of achieving the standardization you're talking about that don't come with the rather large downsides of PDFs.

i would do a variable-size header 4 or 8 bytes for most small objects (8 if you want to provide alignment, 4 if not or if you can squish your pointers). one bit identifies if the header is small or large; if small, next few bits give the size of the object in words, and the remainder are a bitmap telling which words are pointers. forwarding pointer stomps on the first word of the object
Couldn't you say the same about any extreme activity (like going to the moon or base jumping or extreme stuntmen etc)?

Some people seek out risk because it makes life worth living.

Life is finite anyways so even if you are very careful you'll end up dead just like the rest of us.

They are both about 3d printing rocket engines, but it's a bit of comparing apples and oranges.

- The linked article is about improving the speed of manufacturing with 3D printing. The linked article claimed that there was no need for any post-fabrication qualification and there was much skepticism in that claim. But they did perform a sub-orbital launch.

- This article is about improving speed in the design cycle. The article mentions after printing it was "post-processed at the University of Sheffield and prepared for the test". Here there is skepticism of the actual performance (namely efficiency) of the engine for practical purposes.

3D printing rocket engines themselves in and of itself is not a new thing. Rocket Labs has 3D printed rocket engines and has been flying them since 2018
Even though xenon doesn't easily form "compounds" in the normal chemical sense, it does weakly interact with other molecules through van der Waals forces, which are strong enough to affect the functioning of various receptors in neurons.

Neither of them is a fundamental idea about programming in general, unless the only languages we are considering are Java, C#, and Python spoken with a thick Java accent.

Adapter is an OOP-ism. If you take, for example, any ML-family language, you won't find anything of the sort. Even staying in OOP-land, in a language where inheritance goes on the prototypal chain, you wouldn't solve the problem like that.

Proxy is a more general concept, but the way it's described in GoF is still tied to a class/interface/implementation mechanism. In other languages it would often just be a function. I don't know what overarching lesson you would draw from it except "write code to do things".

As I said I don't think it's a bad book, it's definitely something you should read, even just for the meta-level language it (successfully!) introduced. Where I differ is that I don't believe the book is quite as successful at transcending the "traditional" OOP mechanisms. It's mostly "how to accomplish things in Java 1.5".
It's pretty common knowledge that the north koreans are educated to believe that America is an evil empire out to eradicate them and that their leaders are basically god on earth. Similar to the pre-war Japanese indoctrination model. Called Juche. The ideology was purposely designed to keep the population under control.

If that's not brainwashing I don't know what is.

Also, North Koreans have no access to internet or non-state-sanctioned information. If the border ever opens that will be a huge problem I bet.

Was it ever there? It is for an OS that doesn’t have an official release date yet.

They showcased it on their developer conference and that site (https://developer.apple.com) has a link to “WWDC24 highlights”. That page (https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=o38yplz0&cid=hello-deve...) starts with a "Machine Learning & AI” section.
The difference is that they used to not get that info.

When I started filing taxes way back in the olden days, I had to mail a copy of my W2 to the IRS. I could alter it, not include it, whatever. So audits would verify all that.

Now w2s are sent electronically along with 1099s and everything else.

So it’s not perfect, but it’s much easier on the IRS now, than it used to be.

For most people, there are no expenses. You could lie about kids but you need socials. You could lie about tax or mortgage deductions but those data are sent to the IRS by institutions. You could lie about charities, but again that’s sent electronically.

There are some edge things, but they are really edge because most filers don’t have any deductions that are easy to lie about without detection.

I'm wondering how hard it would be to boost it to a long-term stable orbit and then empty it of it's atmosphere and just preserve it as some kind of a museum piece basically.

AGPL is a "viral" or "strong copyleft" license [0], like GPL: if any part of a piece of software is AGPL, the entire software must be AGPL.

The license [1] says this in section 5:

> 5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.

> You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:

> [...]

> c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7 additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts, regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.

If you intended it to be non-viral (weak copyleft) and based on distributing modified versions of your files, the Mozilla Public License [2] may be a better fit for the frontend libraries. Then people could use them unmodified in software with any license, but they would have to release source code of modified versions of those files. This would not do what you want for the server software though, as the "release source code" only applies when distributing software (which is not happening if it's staying on the server).

I am not an expert, and it is not clear to me whether the frontend and backend constitute a single work according to the license. This is important to investigate. If they did count as a single work, rather than two separate works communicating, then the AGPL from the server software would apply to the client software and licensing the frontend libraries MPL wouldn't work. This says something about that in the other direction: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#AGPLv3ServerAsUser
