It's not, or at least not always.

Most of the time it's to get them to actually do their job; shitty pay, bad or nonexistent oversight, corruption (or just "bribes") in higher levels too, conditionally applied rules, etc...

That creates a de-facto auction for their time and service, you (and what you're adding on top) vs. everyone else (and what they are adding on top). There's an unofficial "price list" depending on how quick and thorough you want things to be done.

"Tipping culture" easily slides into "bribing culture" when it becomes an expectation, regardless of what the Supreme Court says about it.
Google is your friend. Sorry to be so trite, but there are literally dozens upon dozens of sources.

One such example happened in 2008. The man's name is "Joseph Prudente", and he was jailed because he could not pay the HOA fine for a brown lawn. Yes, there was a judge hitting Joseph Prudente with a "contempt of court" to land him in jail (with an end date of "the lawn is fixed or the fine is paid"), but his only "crime" was ever being too poor to maintain his lawn to the HOA's standards.

I highly disagree with this. I use both terminal multiplexers and browsers with split window functionality for portability reasons. I use multiple operating systems in different environments and can't rely on a tiling window manager in some of them. I can rely on my terminal multiplexer and browser tiling working wherever I am running the program the same way every time.

IANAL, but it seems to me that Facebook from 20ish years ago would likely be fine under this ruling; it just showed you stuff that people you have marked as friends post. However, if Facebook wants to specifically pick things to surface, that's where potential liability is involved.

The alleged activity in this lawsuit was TikTok either knew or should have known that it was targeting content to minors that contained challenges that was likely to result in harm if repeated. That goes well beyond simple moderation, and is even something that various social media companies have argued in court is speech made by the companies.

OP suggests that land costs will soon dominate the equation. So no mention of orbital solar plants?

Yes, somebody years ago published a study that said, Uneconomical! because lift costs, panel cost, transmission inefficiencies.

All of those are now drastically changed, by orders of magnitude. It is not a matter of IF orbital solar is economical, but WHEN.
The timeline mentions the disclosure was made through CISA, and on their website there is an official incident report form.

There's no reason for other customers to strangle Intel or move (again) to TI OMAP platform when they find that Apple as a new entrant in their market got favorable terms from one of their suppliers...

In 2006, Intel has just won back Palm from TI and were under incredible pressure from Qualcomm who had their MSM7200 SoC in the pipeline (which integrated both CPU and Modem in a single low-power package).

> Intel often cuts prices to favored customers to win business, for example they did so for the original Xbox CPU, to prevent an AMD from being used.

There's "cutting prices" and then there's selling BELOW COST, without a volume-commitment from the customer for long-term break-even...

Precisely, the most natural symbiosis for a Julia + Rust combo seems to fill a hard-realtime, critical safety or embedded niche with offline simulation.

The Py03 and maturin story is something that we haven't brought to Julia yet and I'd love to have some time to work on a tighter integration story there. For example, getting a hot-reload with Revise.jl and a bindings generator that watches file changes and recompiles and the fly so that a Julia REPL gets updated with the new definitions would be so enviable.

I haven't spoken to Tim Holy to see how to string that together but many of the pieces are there.
Google wanted to (that's why they created stuff like FLoC) but other advertisers didn't like that and went to the market authority. They demanded the ability to track users, arguing that the system would give Google an unfair advantage.

After years of back and forth, Google abandoned their efforts. You can still disable third party cookies, in fact I don't think there's been a version of Chrome that doesn't let you block them. Go to your settings and set "third part cookies" to always be blocked. By default, grouped sites may be permitted to read each other's cookies, but you can disable that too.

The problem Google faces is changing the default, simply blocking third party cookie has never been an issue.
This is not an organic use of an altered meaning. The term is imposed by huge corporations who force it on their developers and everyone who wants to get funding in the Llama ecosystem.

Many of the Dell/HP mini PCs with Intel i5 or higher are vPro, because they were used in corporate environments, but it looks like this is rarely part of the eBay item description. Thanks for checking.

vPro devices support Intel TXT (DRTM) to verify firmware integrity on each boot, based on user/OS policy. TXT can be used with QubesOS ("Anti Evil Maid"), Windows Virtualization-Based Security (VBS) or upcoming Linux Secure Launch in mainline Linux. vPro also supports optional remote KVM/serial management over LAN with Intel AMT, which could be considered a feature or anti-feature, depending on use case.
These are some interesting mental gymnastics. Zuckerberg literally publicly admitted the other day that he was forced by the government to censor things without a legal basis.

This has been the case for years now for pitched residential roofs - they stopped being competitive a long time ago.

Thankfully, the impetus for residential roof solar was always more ideological than practical. There's plenty, PLENTY, of empty unused land within a 95% transmission efficiency (hundreds or even thousands of kilometers depending on tech) of the end user, for all non-island cases.

> Every single unwanted text message I’ve gotten in the past few years — every one — has been an SMS message, not iMessage. iMessage spam exists, but for me at least it’s a night-and-day difference from SMS. I fail to see how RCS won’t be just as bad or worse (because it supports larger images) than SMS in this regard

Yeah, because It's nigh impossible to send messages over iMessage as a business. I bet you don't get OTP over iMessage either. Or shipping confirmations... or literally any other desirable but non-human messages. Pitting this against SMS & RCS is so dumb and so daringfireball esq. Completely distracts the original (valid) point.
Because it's fundamentally unreasonable to hold one company responsible for the actions of another on the basis of a common shareholder and executive?

I really miss the range of designs and ideas we used to get in the PDA market, there was so much choice 1993-2003 etc. The iPhone rightly changed the thinking on these devices, but it brought a lot of (IMO relatively) boring homogeneous design language + ideas across the industry too.

Maybe it was inevitable the physical design of everything compute becomes a slim slab of relatively featureless glass, I still miss the variety greatly.
Glad you found it useful! Fulltext search will almost certainly be up in perpetuity, however, we may drop the semantic index if it doesn't get much usage as that's significantly more expensive to host.

I'm probably mis-understanding the implications but, IIUC, as it is, HN is moderated by dang (and others?) but still falls under 230 meaning HN is not responsible for what other users post here.

With this ruling, HN is suddenly responsibly for all posts here specifically because of the moderation. So they have 2 options.

(1) Stop the moderation so they can be safe under 230. Result, HN turns to 4chan.

(2) enforce the moderation to a much higher degree by say, requiring non-anon accounts and TOS that make each poster responsible for their own content and/or manually approve every comment.

I'm not even sure how you'd run a website with user content if you wanted to moderate that content and still avoid being liable for illegal content.

Someting I’ve been thinking about, esp since that crowdstrike debacle.

Starlink does comply with local laws in BR and wants to do business there.

In the broader DB theory context and not strictly Pandas, think of a `users` table with a `middle_name` column. There's a difference between `middle_name is null` (we don't know whether they have a middle name or what it is if they do) and `middle_name = ''` (we know that they don't have a middle name).

In that case, `select * from users where middle_name is null` gives us a set of users to prod for missing information next time we talk to them. `...where middle_name = ''` gives us a list of people without a middle name, should we care.

Edit:

A related aside is that Django's ORM's handling of NULL gives me freaking hives. From https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.1/ref/models/fields/#nul...:

> If a string-based field has null=True, that means it has two possible values for “no data”: NULL, and the empty string. In most cases, it’s redundant to have two possible values for “no data;” the Django convention is to use the empty string, not NULL.

I've been around numerous Django devs when they found out that other DBs and ORMs do not remotely consider NULL and empty string to be the same thing.
> Want a perfect flight sim? Put a GoPro in the cockpit of every airliner for a year.

You're jumping ahead there and I'm not convinced you could do this ever (unless you're model is already a great physics engine). The paper itself has feeds the controls into the network. But a flight sim will be harder better you'd need to also feed in air conditions. I just don't see how you could do this from video alone, let alone just video from the cockpit. Humans could not do this. There's just not enough information.

I didn't switch!

At least for some scientific computing codes, but I did learn a lot of Rust along the way and extended my knowledge into (some) embedded and systems programming. Learning has been fun and the Rust people have been very friendly.
Same - take lightbulbs for example. Thanks to LEDs, the amount of energy you need to generate X amount of light has reduced considerably, but we still have as much if not more lighting than ever. And it's not like our GDP is suffering due to a lack of sufficient lighting, at a certain point there's no gain to productivity gained from having another lightbulb. Same thing can be said about cars, CPUs etc.

I still didn't move my main PC to a mini one because it's not that old and I don't feel like relegating it under a table, but migrating everything else to mini PCs (music, servers, firewalls, media players, ...) was the best choice ever; even the FreeBSD based NAS runs wonderfully on one of these small boxes. Unless one needs specific interfacing capabilities (GPIOs for instance) or serious performance which would need optimized airflow that only a bigger case could allow, the Mini PC form factor wins almost everywhere.

My vote is on "worse", for several reasons.

1. Ghostwritten reports will make some officers seem like better witnesses than they actually are. The existence of half-assed report full of big mistakes could itself be important evidence in court someday, but the machine will replace that potential evidence with something which makes a jury think that the officer has good recall and clear thinking etc.

2. What officers may do (e.g. stops, searches) sometimes depends on what they were aware of and what they believed at the time. While there are already recipes to exploit that (e.g. "I smelled X therefore I can barge in") an LLM could easily learn to insert the normal post-hoc "explanations" automatically, streamlining the abuse.

3. It makes it easier for deliberately-lying officers to craft a falsehood, because they get a preview of "what a computer might easily detect" that they can work with to massage the result.

4. Even with the Perfect Cop, LLMs are chock-full of bias correlations and nobody knows how to reliably stop it. The not-so-objective computer could easily write a report that makes a suspect seem more hostile and dangerous simply because of the suspect's grammar. [0]

5. It creates an excuse for omissions and contradictions. "Oh, that part? That was by the software, I should have proof-read it more carefully but it's not something I did deliberately, trust me."

> All three of those have declined. It's less readable than it used to be, it's definitely more complicated (not just complex, complicated), and the standard library is declining rapidly in relevance as it ages.

I find it much more readable, and more importantly more expressive. Certain new features are missteps IMO, but I just don't use them. But more importantly, the language has been moving away from cryptic %-encodings and other C idioms.

As for the standard library, that was already happening for a long time, and is inevitable. The world has fundamentally changed. In Python's heyday it was much harder to download and install and use a third-party library, so a rich standard library was an asset. Now it's full of specialized code that handles obscure and increasingly irrelevant data formats; multiple overlapping hacks for binary data; terrible and confusing date support; awkward interfaces that haven't stood the test of time (particularly all the networking stuff; Requests is one of the most downloaded PyPI packages, along with its dependencies which are probably almost never downloaded for any other reason); etc.

Lots of people still seem to think that the 2->3 migration was a mistake. They couldn't be more wrong. The old way of handling "strings" was abysmal, and spit in the face of the Zen. Error messages were confusing and implicit conversions abounded.

Also, just for the record: Guido van Rossum was in favour of the walrus operator. In fact, he co-authored the PEP (https://peps.python.org/pep-0572/), along with Tim Peters.

I agree with this. Kids are already subject to an agenda; for example, never once in my K-12 education did I learn anything about sex. This was because it was politically controversial at the time (and maybe it still is now), so my school district just avoided the issue entirely.

I remember my mom being so mad about the curriculum in general that she ran for the school board and won. (I believe it was more of a math and science type thing. She was upset with how many coloring assignments I had. Frankly, I completely agreed with her then and I do now.)
