Great question; not to my knowledge. There would be many false positives, especially as people bring in guests. Sometimes guests get a temp badge; at many companies, they get a sticker to put on their shirt and get tapped in by their host, who is responsible for them.

Rather than building a SOC to look at logs and flag unbalanced entries or similar (which would be very expensive), companies tend to rely on their employees’ vigilance.
> That the author omits the updates for property annotations using RDF* is probably not an accident and glosses over the issues with their proprietary clunky query language.

Not just that, w.r.t. reification they gloss over the fact that neo4j has the opposite problem. Unlike RDF it is unable to cleanly represent multiple values for the same property and requires reification or clunky lists to fix it.
Somewhat related story about banks just saying "fuck you deal with it."

I left a subscription and long story short I got charged an extra $119, which was the monthly fee at the time. I reached out to the business over and over again and eventually they just said they were not refunding it unless I came back as a recurring customer, which I wasn't interested in doing. I submitted a charge back, submitting all my supporting information that the charge was extraneous beyond what I had agreed to pay, and eventually after a few months the bank (Discover) agreed with me and claimed the chargeback was settled.

Fast forward nearly a year later and boom a $119 charge pops up on my card. Discover tells me that the retailer had appealed (a process I was never notified about and didn't get a chance to respond to), that they accepted the appeal and the decision was final.

The wrinkle in this is that at the time I was in the process of digging out of a high five figures in credit card debt and this card had a ~$25k balance month to month so they were getting about $600/mo in interest from me. I called a manager and said "I have been paying this off at the rate of $2-3k/mo and plan on continuing to do so if you reverse that charge, otherwise I'm transferring the balance to another card and the interest ends today."

For whatever reason they were totally willing to throw that money away over $119, so I transferred the balance and closed the account. It is totally believable to me that they would do more or less the same thing with stealing money from cash accounts, if not intentionally then at least negligently and not taking the time to properly investigate.
Remember Apollo? How much of the app is dead code now?
> voters soundly rejected a continuation of that regime

In that election the democrats had net gains in both houses of congress, the democratic presidential candidate won the popular vote, and the presidential election was won by 537 votes. I don't know how this could be called "soundly rejected."
> I think that the executive proposes the budget

The budgeting process is a huge hairball of political Rube Goldberg contraptions, and who "proposes" the budget on paper has very little to do with the actual political maneuvering involved. As far as the point of this discussion is concerned, both Congress and the President are responsible, since both branches are deeply involved in the political maneuvering.
>> The question is, does that $7 trillion generate real good and services? More or less than the private sector would have generated?

That's the wrong question too. It needs to generate enough economic activity such that the TAX on that activity allows repayment of the $7 trillion. AFAICT it does not. If it did we would have a declining debt, but it's going the other direction so that's the answer.
Show HN: My startup is building a platform to build UI kits up to 10x faster
“It’s like Figma, but an actual canvas where you can build fully functional UI kits and web projects”

Here’s a sneak peek of what it’s like for teams of developers and non-technical professionals, including designers, to build, test, document, and publish entire UI kits and web projects with real-time collaboration in one centralised workspace. This significantly increases design system efficiency and the ability to build custom UI kits even faster.

It's great to see this sort of stuff still goes on.

In 2000 (I think), I put 2 Java Applets into the 5k competition. One a maze game with a thousand rooms (10x10x10), the other a spelling checker that checked the contents of an input field against a word list. Both were quite poor and I didn't do well.

The general standard was really impressive. I remember that there was pretty good chess game done in Javascript.

Can you provide an example of this? I honestly can't think of a single time when I learned something in the news that fit this description.
The fact that these people claim mushroom poisoning but don't say what kind of mushrooms they were looking for makes you... more? less? willing to buy the story?

They mentioned morels, which are sort of plausible (dates excepted) since false morels aren't going to kill you. What kind of mushroom would they be hunting in late July where their poisoning wouldn't be actually-newsworthy?

> The integration of women into the service was a good thing

Was it?

I, for one, would reject this thesis, except in a qualified sense. That is, I can imagine a place for women in certain roles, sure, but not all roles. Same for men. The most obvious problem is that putting men and women in a position that places equal physical demands on them either does a disservice to men by making these demands lower to allow women to meet them, or to women by imposing on them a physical regime that is wholly inappropriate for the female body.

We know that men and women respond different to various physical activities. In sports, men tend to become healthier with moderate physical activity like weight-lifting. When women take up similarly rigorous exercise, you see negative consequences to their health. Menstruation can be disrupted, for example. That doesn't mean women cannot exercise, only that the range of exercises that benefits women is not the same as the range that benefits men.

Sex blindness where sex is relevant is a great disservice to each sex. It ignores the needs of each sex for the sake of ticking off some kind of ideological check box. It is not kind or loving to either sex.
This position handily relieves the Executive branch of responsibility for any laws they sign during their tenure.

As Presidents typically take credit for their legislative wins, we also give them credit for budgets they sign. (And then we name them things like "Reaganomics.")
> So the faster (in the long run), "better" way is to first prototype with very loose types and find what works, and then lock it down, within the scope of the above paragraph

Disagree. You can still prototype and refactor with strict types. I don't find working with loose types to be faster at all. Once a program reaches non-trivial complexity loose types make iteration development significantly more difficult and error prone.
That's why modern languages that encourage type-driven development like Rust and Gleam are a godsend. Just look at the things of things you can encode in the type system. It can prevent issues like mixing up numbers in different units:

https://blog.hayleigh.dev/phantom-types-in-gleam
And then I click through the polycentric sign-up flow, and it breaks after 3 steps, and has very page-like things for which the back button doesn't function, but it's okay, they provide their own back button in a non-standard location that disappears if you resize the window.
Which would be illegal in the scenario that I describe.
I agree, I always thought eating mushrooms required an expert for confirmation, otherwise you are rolling the dice. Buying a random book off Amazon and using that seems like the very definition of something a non-expert would do.
A figure I saw years ago was that a government created job cost 3 times what a private sector job would.

I.e. government jobs spending just makes things worse.
A few years before this game, they launched .fr-08 [1] which was a 64k demo which lasts 11:01 minutes and renders full 3d scenes, with music, animations, models, text, etc. It ranked 1st at the 2000 Assembly (The Party).

As far as I know, they used the technology from .fr-08 for .kkrieger.

It is indeed profit. They have a ~50% profit margin.
It basically is. If you search a list of top bank accounts on a number of websites (like doctorofcredit),you will see very quick and easy breakdowns of fees.

Pretty much all the popular online banks with high yield savings are fungible, they all offer free transfers and blah blah, there’s nothing to worry about.
The fact that this exact thing has received media coverage increases the likelihood that the post is fake.

Of course the story remains plausible, and it certainly has an air of truthiness, but I'd give it very good odds for being fake.
Congress writes the budget, not the President's administration. What was notable about the late 90s was for the first time in 40 years the Democrats did not control the House of Representatives. One could argue that divided government forces compromise which is a good thing. Personally, I think the financial problems in the United States transcend political party.
Last weekend while I was waiting for people to clear out of a shot with my mid-range DSLR, a young couple asked me to take their picture. Handed me the camera and I thought it was some POS point-and-shoot.

My surprise when the camera spat out a mini polaroid. I had a bit of a wtf moment (haven't used one since the 90s). But cute, I can see the appeal when taking pictures of people in certain settings, especially a young couple -- it gives that physical, aged feel that I could never achieve with my DSLR.

(In fact, reading the article, I think it _was_ a Fujifilm Instax Mini ... in lilac!)

There's your bit of confirmation bias for the day.
Congress does all legislation. Saying the President "just" signs legislation handily relieves the President of responsibility for any laws they sign during their tenure.

But Presidents typically take credit for their legislative wins, so we also give them credit for budgets they sign.

(It is also the case that one measure of the efficacy of an administration is the quality of the budgets they are able to coax out of Congress.)
Meanwhile Jersey Mikes has "giant" subs (that are actually a foot long and almost twice as wide as a Subway sub) starting at $13 to $19. And those can easily feed two (my gf and I will occasionally get a Philly from there, and a giant will feed both of us).
> Fogle appeared in Subway's advertising campaigns from 2000 to 2015

> Allegations of Fogle having inappropriate relations with minors began in 2007

> Following Fogle's arrest, the FBI also subpoenaed a series of text messages made in 2008 between Fogle and Subway franchisee Cindy Mills, with whom he was having a sexual relationship at the time. In these messages, Fogle talked about sexually abusing children ranging in age from 9 to 16, told her to sell herself for sex on Craigslist, and asked her to arrange for him to have sex with her 16-year-old cousin. Mills's lawyer said that she had alerted Subway's corporate management about the text messages, but that they had responded that because Fogle was not a Subway employee, there was no violation. Subway representatives said they had no record of Mills's allegations.

> On October 24, 2016, Kathleen McLaughlin's lawyers filed suit against Subway in Indiana. The suit alleges that Subway violated McLaughlin's privacy and property rights, and caused personal injury to McLaughlin by covering up at least three instances of Fogle's illegal behavior that were reported to senior management, including the allegation that Subway's senior vice president of marketing hushed up a 2004 incident in which Fogle propositioned a young girl at a promotional event at a Subway franchise in Las Vegas.

It all sounds a bit like Jimmy Saville, where "people knew" but were not concerned about the victims, because he was making them money.
Its easy to say "just build trains." It is much harder to actually do it. New rail costs on the order of a billion dollars a mile in American cities. It is not financially practical to expand rail service because of this. What usually ends up happening when suburban areas densify is just that traffic gets worse. It makes sense that people are worried about that when theyve seen it happen many times.
I agree. Though the images are engaging to look at they don’t immediately help my understanding.
Do you realize that Borland were out of business by the time code signing for basically any platform became a thing most anyone was vaguely concerned with?
It isn’t :/ I’d be down to recreate it if you can point me at an open-source project to do it in! :)

Basically - we had some custom framework-ish code to do things like general error handling, reference/relationship/ORM stuff, and turning things into a React hook.

I rewrote what we had to use function passing, so that you could define your API endpoint as the simple Axios call (making it much easier to pass in options, like caching config, on a per-endpoint basis).

So you’d define your resource nice and simple, then under the hood it’d wrap in the middleware, and you’d get back a function to make the request (or a React hooks doohickey, if you wanted).

But typescript doesn’t really play nice with function currying, so it took some doing to wrap my head around enough of the type system to allow the template type to itself be a template-typed function. That nut cracked when I remembered that experience with C++ typing; in the end it actually came out pretty clean, although I definitely got Clever(TM) in some of the guts.
Not much of a standard on PC, other than being the way to produce Palm, Epoch and Symbian apps, until Nokia replaced it with Eclipse based tooling, Carbide.
Ouch. That web comic did not age gracefully.
Data structures are not the same thing as types. Data structures are bit patterns and references to other bit patterns (pointers or relationships). Types (as they are used in programming languages) place some constraints on those bit patterns, but can also encode many other language features.

Creating an elaborate type hierarchy with unnecessary abstractions is not what is meant by "worrying about data structures", and that tendency is one of the most common failure modes for otherwise smart engineers.

So, no SysV /etc/init.d because no shell scripting, and no systemd because embedded environment resource constraints? There must be a process to init and respawn processes on events like boot (and reboot, if there's a writeable filesystem)

Isn’t this the case for almost everything “AI”?

Regulation like the EU’s AI Act (and even more strict) should be in effect worldwide. Corps have been running the show but naturally their focus is on monetisation rather than what their creations actually do.
Fair! To the point of this discussion, after they saw the Bush deficits, they reelected him.
I think knowledge isn’t something that accumulates—each generation discards some old things and discovers some new.

The old stuff is still there of course, but it’s not a part of the societal discourse or understanding and so is more inert information than knowledge.
Reminds me of how I started my foray into plaintext task management:

- http://todotxt.org

- https://taskwarrior.org

- https://www.taskpaper.com

- https://notational.net

Eventually, I decided multi-platform sync and mobile access were more important than the CLI. (Also I have the browser open more than the CLI.)

In addition, I found a single line per task was not enough (that's why I started looking into TaskPaper and Notational Velocity):

- I wanted to attach notes to tasks (as I worked on them).

- I wanted to group tasks into sub-tasks (or rather break larger tasks into smaller tasks.)
Types are data structures that the language is aware of. This allows the tooling to do checks that they can't do on plain old data structures.
Eh, the majority party in controls the budget negotiations, and the president is either the leader of that party or of the minority party. Either way there is considerably more involvement than just signing the result of other people’s work.

It is not surprising to me at all. Most of the people that I personally know showing up in Forbes x under x , do not have the best history of honesty.
I'm very active on iNaturalist. The name suggestions made there by image recognition, at least for the genus I work with, is a complete and utter joke. >98% of name suggestions for that group are incorrect. As soon as a genus becomes diverse, it classifies everything as a single species instead of a genus. It does not have ability to recognize 'the unknown'. Most of my time on that website is wasted on clearing up gross incorrect name suggestions from AI that people accept without any checks of plausibility. Even with species that have >2000 confirmed observations, it still incorrectly suggests the name for obviously completely unrelated species. You didn't take the time to explain what you mean with 'hyperspectral' but I'm assuming it just introduces a new dataset where we start all over.
This story is incredibly frustrating because it seems to throw a lot of numbers at things (which isn't a bad thing, it's just not super useful) as if that's going to change things politically. Debt is political and the fundamentals of government debt have not changed at all.

Government debt is a red herring that many fiscal conservatives wave to say we're spending too much. Unfortunately those same conservatives don't actually want "fiscal responsibility", they want to cut programs they don't agree with and continue handing out lucrative military contracts that we arguably don't need.

Government debt has always been about borrowing today to fund growth for tomorrow. However, that's not what we're actually doing at all. Much of our current debt is due to COVID stimulous, which was an incredibly exceptional event. Of course that was more to "keeping things going" than fund growth initiatives. That's not to say that debt was "bad" or that we shouldn't have done it, but that much of the debt we're taking on is not going to fund infrastructure, education, or health which are all things that have significant long term benefits to society.

Lastly, debt only matters in comparison to rates. If you're borrowing lower than growth of GDP, then that borrowing is generally considered a net positive. Artificially deflating rates in the late 2010s and the rapid increase in rates post-COVID is not going to do well for government debt because we can't shift our budgets quickly enough to adjust. Of course that also assumes a functioning congress, which we certainly don't have.

Since it is a political issue, it will be a football and a dog whistle. Cut programs for minorities from the right, and raise taxes on the rich from the left. While one party is likely to be more irresponsible with this than the other, it's still not going to go away because it's never supposed to. Government debt is all about the cost to borrow compared to growth. The challenge we're at is that the cost is no longer cheap and we haven't been truly focusing on growth as much as we should. Instead we've just had political distractions.
I’m not an AI apologist by any stretch, but how is this different from some incompetent person criminally-negligently assembling and publishing a book without AI help? Shouldn’t existing legislation already cover this? I’d also assume that most books will be written with AI help in some way or another in the future.
Why can't a scam be criminal negligence?

I'm not sure how you came to conclusion that I thought construction industry was merely dangerous, rather than being frequent violators of safety standards.
