Nobody claimed what you claim they claimed - as I suspect you know full well. The relevant section in the original report is called "Sensitivity, anger and misogynistic beliefs" (beliefs, not behaviours) and cites a few sources:

"Speckhard et al. (2021) found that 13.6% of incels reported some willingness to rape if they could get away with it, compared to respective samples of ~35%, ~20–25%, ~19% and ~30% of men in the general population (Malamuth, 1981; Palmer, McMahon & Fissel., 2021; Hahnel-Peeters, Goetz & Goetz., 2022; Young & Thiessen, 1992)."

It would certainly be interesting to see what survived.
Due to the shared nature of the internet it's very hard to implement a technically foolproof block.

For example you could rent a server on AWS, forward your traffic to it (e2e encrypted) and then have that forward your traffic to a regular VPN.

Now just imagine that the VPN does the forwarding for you and offers it as a service.

>I am OK with this ban for the same reason I'm OK with tobacco sellers being not allowed to sell to under 18s.

And yet almost anywhere in Europe this ban is completely ineffective as the kids who start smoking get their hands on the cigarettes regardless. It only is a VERY minor inconvenience until they grow 18.
Why does everyone think this is generating 3D assets? It's purely 2D
“Nanny state” is fine when you’re talking about children.
We don't have true left wing candidates in Romania, or not any that have made it far in the election cycle, so this is not relevant.
> If you have an addicted/bullied child would you make them a social pariah and create interminable arguments by taking away their devices?

Yes. That is literally your job as the parent. If there was some teenage trend of injecting heroin, nobody would accept "but my kid's social life might suffer" as a reason to not stop them from doing heroin. It similarly does not suffice as a reason to not stop your kids from using social media. If it really is that bad for your kids, you have a duty to stop them regardless of what other kids (and their parents) do.
Sometimes people vote not for something, but against something, when they don’t really have a good choice. It’s a „format HDD“ button for the political system. Wipe out the mainstream and hope that something new and better comes to the rescue.
People can't tell coke apart from Pepsi in blind tests though, the perceived difference when people are getting asked “Is Pepsi ok?” is 100% conditioned by the attachment to the brand.
The payments industry is rife with nonsense like this.

At a fintech startup I was working with, we built a "shadow ledger" because we couldn't trust a 3rd party PP to give us the correct information, which would otherwise allow double spending on accounts.

We tried 3 different (major!) PPs - they ALL had similar flaws.
Given the scale of Europe's economic problems, gaslighting people is the path of least resistance for governments there, as solving the economic issues would be extremely difficult, especially given Europe's demographic crisis/aging population.
> Many of Georgescu’s voters admit to not knowing too much about him.

There seems to be a greater problem than Social Media abuse, to me there's a lack of education around the candidates and the actual meaning & process of voting. That said, everyone can vote for whoever they want so I'm not really sure what can be done.
>using a process that has still not been Americanized, using Japanese equipment, the most critical of which "in an area not accessible to non-Panasonic employees." It is also behind China on cost. Oh, and did I mention it is government-subsidized

The subsidies aren't the problem here. The problem is that they are uncompetitive islands of foreign technology that lead nowhere, and they are _more expensive even after being heavily subsidized_.
Are these same parents unable to tell their children "no you can't stay out late it's a school night"
This legislation is a bold step, but it raises a lot of questions about implementation and unintended consequences. While protecting children from online harms is undoubtedly important, enforcing an age limit like this on social media platforms could be incredibly challenging

If the goal is one thing there might be nice side effects but they are never the goal. The moment the goal can be accomplished better by getting rid of the nice things the nice things should be disposed of.

For a while we had people creating nice products that also happened to make very good money. Most things arguably start out trying to make something good.

This perspective highlights a key aspect often overlooked in debates about such laws: the social dynamics of parenting. You’re absolutely right that the “all the other kids are on it” pressure can make it almost impossible for individual parents to set boundaries without isolating their child

As an Australian parent myself, let me say this legislation is useless and you need to stop hiding behind stupid government legislation pandering to the lowest common denominator in place of your parenting.

The “the government won’t let me let you use social media” is one of the most stupid and ridiculous arguments I’ve heard a mature adult make to a juvenile. Your kid is likely to see it as spineless, then go ahead and make a fake login to their favourite social media site without telling you.

I have a 14 year old and a soon to be 17 year old. Just have a conversation with them about social media. Now they are just going to hide their use of it with you and you won’t be able to guide them when their use of it goes wrong.

The substance is many people there didn't want Romania to get into a catastrophic war with Russia like Ukraine did and see hundreds of thousands of their countrymen die (likely ultimately for nothing, as Trump seems to be planning to let Russia keep the land it took).

That sounds like either the pollsters or the people running the election have significantly bigger problems than whatever that candidate might or might not have done. How did they not find any of the people swayed by TikTok? Why are they even looking at TikTok at that point?

It says GDPR compliant and no cookies on the project page. How are unique visitors calculated? And I'm assuming it can't link conversions to campaigns without some cookie-alternative?
Where specifically are you getting that information?

From TFA:

The nitrogen atmosphere, in which the sample was stored during this time, can be a bactericide for some, but not all, Bacillus species owing to the reduced water activity associated with the dry atmosphere (Munsch-Alatossava & Alatossava, 2014). The bactericidal effects of such atmospheres are not restricted to Bacillus, and thus provides no diagnostic information.

That is: nitrogen should generally kill bacteria, but may not in the case of some Bacillus species. That's quite some distance from saying the bacteria would thrive in that environment, and I'd presume other factors (light, food supply, some means for oxidation) would be necessary, most of which could be reasonably constrained within a sample-examination environment.

Origin determination might be made through C14 or other dating --- any extant in situ bioactive materials would presumably be comprised of primordial carbon with effectively no C14 signature, as opposed to any recently-deposited or growing organisms.

One challenge seems to be that there was very little Bacillus present, 11 to 147 individuals, which seems to have made DNA analysis impractical and would likely challenge isotopic analysis as well.

NB: Not my area of expertise, just close reading, general understanding, and some research-fu.

I mean this is subjective, but as long as it’s clear that one number is “this is the memory the runtime itself consumes to solve this problem” and the other number is “this is the runtime memory use and it includes pre-allocated stack space that a real application would then use”, sure

Point being: Someone reading this to choose which runtime will fit their use case needs to be carefully to not assume the numbers measure the same thing. For some real world use cases the pre allocated stack will perform better than the runtimes that instead will do heap allocations.

Because this was attempted already, for example with the UK "porn ban" law. And Australia is one of the few countries that are even more batshit insane when it comes to policing and controlling its own population, and possibly the only country where such a law could pass now.

1. The article is from 2014.

2. The band sold a total of $4k in tickets. If tickets were $10 then that’s 400 tickets. So roughly 10 people per show.

3. They apparently own their own van.

4. They slept on people’s floors and couches.

5. They apparently didn’t eat or drink.

6. They didn’t insure the tour or their gear.

7. There was no contingency for emergencies.

8. They presumably booked the tour themselves and self manage (which might explain why they are playing to ten people at a time)

9. According to Wikipedia the band has five members.

10. Their 37 day tour grossed $8598 with costs of $3096.

And still, their take for the tour was $5502. For a 37 day tour. For a band with five members.

That’s a grand total of $30 a day.

So in reality this tour cost them whatever their daily living costs are, less $30.

I don’t know what living costs are like in Milwaukee - nor what they were like in 2014 - but let’s assume that the band members are all single and happy to live a relatively basic life and need $30,000 each per year to cover their costs.

That’s $82 a day each. So between them to survive 37 days they need a total of $15170

So they lost $10k on this tour.

They would have been better off giving 1000 people $10 to buy their album on bandcamp.

Show HN: Managed Redux Toolkit: Autogenerate Your RTK Definitions
Redux Toolkit (RTK) provides a lot of primitives to build performant frontend applications. Celestial generates RTK code for your backend (with additional features), exposing an intuitive hook-based API. So you can have all the benefits of RTK without having to familiarise yourself with the underlying framework.

Essentially, we write the backend wiring code for your frontend. You get simple-to-use hooks, which implement advanced backend sync & state management patterns. You also get a fast, snappy application out-of-the box.

You can also think about it like this: Celestial generates a unified state layer that contains your server state and any other state that you decide to store. It exposes hooks to interact with the state, while constantly keeping client state in sync with the backend. Your UI simply plugs into the state layer using a hook-based API to manage data flow for your web app.

UI development can broadly be categorised as (1) interacting with the backend to fetch data and push updates, and (2) writing and styling the UI. The vision is to automate (1) end-to-end, allowing devs to focus on (2). Like how Firebase/Supabase (when they began) abstracted away the implementation of chat.

An analogy can be found in the data world: before the data analyst can build a data dashboard, the data needs to be supplied to the dashboarding tool from various sources. This data fetching is generic enough to be abstracted away. The analyst simply writes SQL on their dashboarding tool to build their dashboard, without worrying about bringing the data in. They assume that the data will be present in a predefined structure and will update at a regular cadence.

In the frontend domain, sophisticated tools for data fetching and updating the backend exist. For ex. RTK, RTK Query, TanStack Query, SWR. But a developer still has to tie everything together themself. IMO, this can be automated, more so because of generative AI.

The idea is to abstract away all details of backend-interaction so the frontend developer can manipulate the data & develop the UI as if the data rests in in-memory data structures on the frontend itself. I am assuming that taking away the burden of backend interaction (and all its various nuances) would make life easy/save time for some devs and would empower other devs by giving them tools to do more. Please feel free to validate or invalidate this assumption :)

All comments & feedback welcomed. Feedback is the fuel that drives my work!
Software engineering is like this too. We reuse existing libraries based on how mature they are, because it's less development time/cost/risk, even though the actual product ends up being very complex under the hood. Very similar principle of finding local maxima.
Why not? It is about treating people as adults or children.
Blockchains are examples worth learning from about how to build ledgers. Append-only transactions which start as pending and then eventually confirmed. Balances are cumsums of confirmed transactions.

IIRC they were called tear-off menus in X / Motif days.

I had attended a company course on X Windows, Xlib, and Motif programming, back in the day.

Motif might have been clunky or whatever, but was also powerful. That course was my first introduction to event-driven GUI programming and I was quite junior then, and didn't quite grok all the programming concepts involved, but a colleague, who was more knowledgeable, created a rudimentary MS Paint-like application, in about 1 hour or less, using Motif and C.

(Okay, he worked in the same company as me, but in a different city, so might have had the hardware and software resources to practice on X and Motif before the course, which I did not have.)

For from me to defend any politician but denying the role of social media in shifting public opinion is like sticking your head deep in the sand.

The real culpability of politicians and governments the world over is that they have endorsed this freak development for decades.

They are all present on social media, they are advertising both directly and indirectly, by placing links and "follow us on xyz" on every damn government website.

They have made a faustian pact with the devil and now the devil is extracting his pound of flesh.
I think he means that if the Go code had done something more useful, it would use about the same amount of memory. Compare that to another implementation, which might allocate nearly no memory when the tasks don't do anything significant but would quickly catch up to Go if they did.
My expectation would be that unfortunately after a certain point it would stop being a refugee crisis and start being a border enforcement crisis. I personally expect things to get quite ugly once the temp difference hits a more significant value.

Stainless is mostly iron and chromium, sometimes nickel. Some oxidation states of chromium are indeed toxic, but the most stable form is chromium(III), which is harmless enough that you can buy it as a supplement. Nickel also occurs naturally in soil and many foods and is not accumulating in the body. The kidneys can remove it. Only large doses are problematic.
