> If the pollution is from tires, then tax tires.

Tax tires, move worn tires to a recycling plant, bill a recycling tax when the owner buys a new tire...

... and then set fire to the tires, keep the money for recycling safe in your pocket, and then keep lying about how good is that we "recycle" things.

"In Spain, a recycling plant burns every four days, a figure that has increased since 2018. In 2023, the record was broken with 109 recycling plants that were [deliberately] set on fire" [1]

"In 2019, a tire recycling plant in Seseña burned for days. This fire produced pollution greater than that generated by the city of Madrid for a whole year" [1]

Or grind it and put the stuff in each children park, as currently.

If we are going to go down that road, then what about the mainstream media then? How many lies have they gotten away with and never corrected?

I agree that misinformation is spreading on social media, but let's not forget that the mainstream media has been caught lying deliberately or by omission more times than I can count.
> I think you have a very skewed view of what people interested in cryptocurrency are like.

Given that it's a heavenily gift for criminals (including those wishing to evade taxation on otherwise legit commercial activity) while leeching a good share of world's energy resources, I think he's excused.
Gratitude goes a long way.

My job puts me on the receiving end of a lot of gratitude, and I absolutely adore it. It's one of the main perks of the job. After experiencing it, I have become a lot more lavish in my praise, and frequently email people to thank them for their work. Most of them are very appreciative of it, especially when they make their work freely available.

Why are you talking about world collapse? You stated that Trump’s tarrifs are just a threat and negotiating tactic and there’s nothing to worry about. I replied that Trumps tarrifs aren’t a threat and the he’s used tarrifs before. Your response is that it’s okay because the world didn’t collapse in 4 years? You’re moving the goal posts. The tarrifs are going to be bad. Will it collapse the world? It may for some that aren’t expecting to pay higher prices for goods, especially people that just voted for Mr Tarrifs because they blamed the previous leader for high inflation. Inflation is something no POTUS can do anything about, but tarrifs are. So in the spirit of continued high prices, yes the world is collapsing.

I don’t know if you’ve noticed the panic Trump has caused with xenophobia the past 20+ years but none of those voters believe in the phrase “Keep calm and carry on”.

Just because you were not directly affected by Trump’s first term does not mean you can wave away other people’s concerns as not problems.
> I can control my child

Lies every parents tell themselves. Either they will watch porn at age 11 at school or at a friend, or you isolate them from society and they resent you forever.

You can't control every aspect of your child's real life or online activities, that's naive and I don't believe you actually have children, let alone teenagers.
The age verification is on creating the account prior to any deposits.

As for not cooperating - I'd expect to ban them altogether (ISP) unless they comply. Gambling is exactly the same.
I love it.

This is a language that everyone here says they want but no one will use, even though it's stable and mature (I assume because it compiles to stable and mature Go and can use every existing Go library).

It hits all the "ok, Go is popular but made by morons for morons and if only it had this X advanced feature, it would be totally great".

It has immutability. It has advanced enums. It has algebraic types. It has pattern matching. It has Result<> instead of returning an error. It gets rid of if err != nil. It gets read of of nil pointers.

On paper it's a perfect language. It literally addresses every major complaint people have with Go.

And I'll be here not using it and watching everyone else not use it.

Because the harsh truth is that none of those things are actually big issues that would justify learning slightly different syntax.

But maybe I'm wrong. Time will tell.
I often give drivers a thumbs up when they are careful around bikes. German drivers are especially wary of cyclists, and I'm often surprised by how constantly they look out for me.
Gleam compiles to Erlang. Kotlin compiles to JVM bytecode and has great interop with Java. Rust and Zig easily call C. Elm compiles to JS and has a clear means to calling JS. TypeScript/ReScript/ReasonML all do something similar.

All these languages add type-safety and/or sum types and/or immutability-by-default and/or explicit-nullability.

I wish Borgo the best in doing the same for the Golang ecosystem. It's sorely needed.

I like this very much. Why?

1. Life long habits are mostly formed at a young age.

2. Real social interaction is very important at this life stage.

3. There is no need to put the vulnerable self concept of a young human being at risk.

The bandwidth market is very different between EU and USA, maybe they weren't prepared for the much higher prices in USA? I'm pretty used to having a 100 Mbps connection to our servers that we can use without any strings attached. Even on the lowest tier. (Not Hetzner customer but been thinking about it)
This is not about reporting or content. This is about the health outcomes of young people being negatively impacted by companies maximizing engagement metrics at all costs.

Reporting on war happenings occurred before social media was around.
So it's only a charge the poors have to pay.
You’ve taken literally one word from my comment, out of context.

Yes, you’re right, they rushed it through. …and that sucks.

Now what? Is that really the only meaningful complaint you can come up with about it?

I don’t support it because I think it’s overreach by a government that is already trying to make a nanny state.

…but I’m not naive enough to think it’s not going to work. It will work.

It probably has unintended consequences; that’s the problem.
Not only that, at some point the vampires will form a government for vampires which will be at odds and at war with the non-government vampire and there will be individual vampires that disagree with and feel a lack of representation from their vampire government.

Around 30 years ago they got caught out with this sort of thing. It resulted in a scanal called "The IRT affaire", it's on netflix I think. They waited 4 years, learnt from their mistakes, now their new way of working is to do all of the work through proxies, orchestrated by an authority structure so it's not possible to take them to court. And all of their really dirty work they do through civilian proxies, the weakest and most easy blackmailed of society.

No one blinks an eye here.

Also, this country which has issue an arrest warrant for the leader of a particular country is at the same time buying hundreds of millions of euros of military equipment from the same country. Such hypocrisy.

Sorry, I got off topic.
Where does the legislation say that? My reading is that it specifically says that social networks have to provide an alternative verification mechanism that doesn’t rely on government ID.

Cars with Sodium-ion will have less range. This is about situations where battery size is not that big of a deal.

Though this might allow you to build a car with relative small range, but that you can quick charge.
France being about 1% of world's population, any effort won't make a huge dent in a global phenomenon. Also, that 1% pollutes a lot more than the average, so the efforts made on the electricity front are offset by other issues.

CS229 Lecture Notes (2023) [pdf]
If you believe those figures you’re a misandrist. If someone referenced a study that “found” that 20-30% of African Americans would consider severely beating a white stranger if they thought they could get away with it, there is a 100% chance that you would dismiss the study out of hand as somehow fatally flawed. One hundred percent. This “finding”, along with your or anyone else’s acceptance of it, is outrageous and offensive.
Yeah. It is one of those kind of things where one might think that the recipient will first carefully read the letter and then form an opinion on it.

But in reality people will form an emotional response just based on the appearance of it. And even after they read it they might be left perplexed and some might spend further resources to figure out if this is a legal threat in some way.

I would find such a letter in incredibly bad taste, and think of whoever sent it to me or caused it to be sent worse than before.
What a brilliant idea! It's a shame this is USA-only - would be nice to get that added to the HN title.

I can see why they would have this restriction, but there IS a payment option, so they could offer it with whatever feels is required. Still, all the best US cousins!

Currently it only outputs PDF, PNG and SVG. The next release will have preliminary support for HTML. This will be a structured output so from there it will be easier to support other formats either directly or in post-processing e.g. through pandoc. Pandoc itself supports Typst input but I'm not sure how reliable that is.
Also, the part that has actually functioning public transport.
Cool, let’s make tyres that degrade when in small chunks with high surface area. It’ll cost a bit more to replace them every few years (since they’ll also degrade a bit more whilst on the car) but will be a far better solution than the kneejerk “lol ban all the cars” stuff.
I think you’re right about the relative scale of the fine, but theres a part of me that believes the companies will try to comply with the law, similar to how pornhub is blocked in many US states. They could easily ignore the regulation but choose not to because thats ultimately what Australians want. Companies of this scale by and large try to follow the law, especially when the affected cohort is relatively small.
Clive Myrie is not an immigrant, he was born in northern England. The post is blatantly about race (“how often do white hosts”, “stop the racism”).

You asked for something high-engagement, but the stuff that tends to be “in your face” is low engagement/high volume, as in this case I shared with you elsewhere in the thread. https://x.com/kaseyklimes/status/1862323859321483316
An incredibly depressing thing in our profession is how we collectively lack memory.

We routinely re-discover stuff that probably was already solved by a quiet lady writing a CICS transaction in a s-360 system in 1969.

Yeah, dealing with money and especially others people money without double entry bookkeeping is a bad practice.

But this particular problem is the consequence of the choice of using floating point binary math to deal with monetary quantities.

Given the fact that most modern languages have very awkward support for arbitrary precision decimal numbers the most sensible way to deal with money usually boils down to store it as an integer.
Guess we are going to see more usability/integration improvements rather than model iterations going forward.
According the stats in Haidt's book, between 2010 and 2020 girls in the US saw a 188% increase in emergency room visits for self harm per capita - never mind the less extreme presentations of mental health issues. Imagine you have an anxious, depressed and potentially suicidal child. This is a horrifying situation. How do you feel about being the hard-arse parent knowing that they will be furious? Is that actually your best move in that moment? Wouldn't it be nice if you didn't have to make that kind of choice?

But again, that is at best infrastructure documentation, not code. Unless you dilute the term "code" until it loses nearly all utility.
I'm not sure if they changed it after your comment, but right now there is clearly two options. One where you can get a google doc and just use theirs as a template, and one where they send it for you.
No, most of the reporting from "his organizations" is about how they defend themselves against him and blow the whistle about security concerns, plus the union busting and wage theft and so on. Plus the story about how Thiel kicked him out to save PayPal.

Both Tesla and SpaceX are military labs behind plausible deniability, dual-use aprons. Hence they're run to a larger extent by people who aren't him and he works like a neat distraction for outsiders.

Much like Thiel he doesn't show any "deep talent". That's something other people are bringing to the organisations they're part of.

One thing in particular that's always been a problem with Ninja is the output. It does too much buffering, removes colors without being able to force them back, and in general leads to an experience where for me it's not usable since I want to pipe its output to a pager. When I used ninja I needed to maintain builds with all sorts of patches to fix it. With samurai it just did the right thing out of the box.

That’s not an excuse. By construction, not voting means voting for the option with the most votes. These people should realise that they would not be in this shite had they bothered to show up.
I don't think the impediment to adoption is the syntax - that's straightforward enough - it's the ecosystem / tooling / network effects.

I love this, even though I don't interact with Go on a regular basis, but I recognise that I'd be locking myself out of a lot of the standard Go tooling if I adopted this wholesale. For better or for worse, there's a high ecosystem barrier that most languages must overcome to be adopted, and the vast majority of efforts never get to that.
> Stop their most addictive patterns.

Which are? While it's easy to say things like "oh, infinite scroll is addictive" or "autoplaying videos are addictive", those are only the most obvious ones; (social) media addiction comes in many forms. Old Reddit didn't have infinite scroll and you had to click to open items, but would you argue it wasn't addictive anyways? IRC style chat, news groups and forums didn't have any of the obvious dark addictive patterns we associate with harmful social media nowadays, but we still whiled away the hours on them regardless.

I don't think it'd be as straightforward as banning certain practices. Besides, it'd be a game of whack-a-mole since for every legislation they'll find a way around it, or make it so that the users clamor to bring it back - take the EU privacy directive, it told companies they needed user permissions first. But they - the companies, not the EU or the laws - implemented it in the most obnoxious and harmful way possible to spite their own users and hopefully annoy them so much that they would either just hit accept, or vote the lawmakers out in favor of more economically liberal people.

Of course, as any microbenchmark, the bare results are useless. The numbers can be interesting only if you take the time to understand the implications.
This idea that everyone should be required to listen to the ravings of anyone passing by (or, on Twitter, anyone who has paid Elon Musk for the privilege) is really pretty weird. Mass blocklists are hardly new; “here are the people to add to your killfile to get some semblance of signal to noise” was a thing on USENET in the 90s, say, and of course, before Musk broke it, they were common on Twitter as an informal user-added feature (the death of the API made them far more difficult to implement.)
I don't think I understand what allowed means in this context because on my OnePlus Nord phone, I have an app called GPS Test which shows me that I have so many GPS, so many GLONASS, and so many Galileo in view.

Strange thing is there is no Chinese GNSS in view. (I was on a short trip to Bali recently and iirc I did see Chinese GNSS on the app while there so I think the app and phone hardware is capable of picking up Chinese GNSS?).

The strike price is also a cap. It's not precisely a market; nuclear also gets a (much higher) strike price agreement.
In Sweden, where the minimum salary is pretty high, and in general employment has many rules and laws around them, there would be a limit to the type of work that you can do as a "job".

You can't just transform a volunteer to a person working for half the salary of the employed person next to him.
And what qualifies you for that?
I didn’t take you out of context. You literally say that whether the Act is good or not is up for debate. Before legislation is passed, it needs public consultation and debate. There literally was no public debate and now this is law!

Things like:

1. It will be trivial to bypass the restrictions.

2. The argument given in support of this Act by the OP was that it gives parents an excuse to prevent their kids from using social media. That’s going to work out great.

3. The mechanisms for verifying ID are not defined and will be decided without public debate. Adults will be forced to get a government controlled digital ID, or alternately social media companies will need to collect your official documentation to prove your age. Neither of these are palatable.

None of this has been considered. None of these concerns were allowed to be expressed by interested parties and the general public with sufficient time for comment.

That more than sucks. This is a government who wants to shove badly flawed legislation onto the Australian people because they are immensely unpopular.

I’m a Labor voter. Not next year.
That's only one fragment of social media though, it's not helpful to focus on this part of social media alone; another big one is the rhetoric hidden in otherwise normal / legitimate content that seems to be a nontrivial factor in a hard shift to the right, politically.

It wouldn't surprise me, though I've usually seen that applied as a reductio ad absurdum to show that the notion of a flat percentage as "fair" is arbitrary because surely a flat tax would be even fairer - on the basis that it highlights how flattening out the tax curve can make the burden on the poorest unsustainable.
RUST

The rust code is really checking how big Tokio's structures that track timers are. Solving the problem in a fully degenerate manner, the following code runs correct correctly and uses only 35MB peak. 35 bytes per future seems pretty small. 1 billion futures was ~14GB and ran fine.

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
let sleep = SleepUntil {
end: Instant::now() + Duration::from_secs(10),
};
let timers: Vec<_> = iter::repeat_n(sleep, 1_000_000_0).collect();
for sleep in timers {
sleep.await;
}
}

#[derive(Clone)]
struct SleepUntil {
end: Instant,
}

impl Future for SleepUntil {
type Output = ();

fn poll(self: Pin<&mut Self>, cx: &mut Context) -> Poll<Self::Output> {
if Instant::now() >= self.end {
Poll::Ready(())
} else {
cx.waker().wake_by_ref();
Poll::Pending
}
}
}

Note: I do understand why this isn't good code, and why it solves a subtly different problem than posed (the sleep is cloned, including the deadline, so every timer is the same).

The point I'm making here is that synthetic benchmarks often measure something which doesn't help much. While the above is really degenerate, it shares the same problems as the article's code (it just leans into problems much harder).
They don't show the same thing. Electricity map is mostly focused on showing public market data about electricity and co2 emissions, while that site is a showcase of how a power flow works to calculate how electricity flows in the grid (not using real data of course, as the type of data used isn't public).

Both are interesting, I understand the site displayed in this article aims to show the complexity of the underlying system, which isn't shown by electricitymap.
The performance impact is approximately zero.
Only for activation of a service, which has nothing to do with the actual user. Purchase a phone using cash from any store selling mobile phones, and then use free WiFi (however insecure that may be) anywhere you can find it. If you want mobile data, get someone to register a prepaid SIM card, then add money to it using a prepaid debit card from AusPost, which you don't need ID to do.
Since I wasn't there I can't say what happened. Can be a language thing too, I can imagine that the intended meaning would be "Try again, making sure you spell everything exactly as the data on the card" but it came out as "Try again with the real info". In germany the English language is very optional, it's not needed for any media consumtion since everything is being dubbed and/or translated. This leads to less experience using the language.
