Oh? Is there some dispute that did EU called Tik Tok about these elections? https://apnews.com/article/romania-tiktok-elections-european...

If Russia had called them in for not blocking or censoring pro-EU candidates would you not have called that election interference?
Who are these "globalists" and what does that word really mean for you? Because the wikipedia article is a doozy.

It's more like an opportunistic, willing to be sleazy, smaller company grew into a very large one by continually taking underhanded advantage of anyone in their path.

Even if the birth rate suddenly tripled, it wouldn't solve that issue for at least a generation. There's going to have to be other solutions, maybe in the form of automation/robotics/etc in conjunction with societal/economic changes. I wouldn't be surprised if the older population resists necessary changes and exacerbates the problem, though.

>> WAL isn't the footgun, SQLite over network attached storage is

I agree that using SQLite over a network is not a good idea. But people do do that, and it works tolerably well. On most networks it'll work just fine, especially if writes are sparse.

The point of defaults is that they should cover the "widest range". By all means read the docs, and choose to use Wal. But that's an action you take and understand.

The point of articles like this though is to help alert people to the settings that exist. You should always read the docs and apply them to your context before using any setting.
==Japan has now fewer productive workers per elderly person than most developed countries.==

Maybe, over the long run, we could change the expectation that elderly people can't be productive. Perhaps eliminating 20% of the workweek will allow people to maintain careers that are longer? The need to race towards retirement may lessen if we ease the burden of our weekly work schedule.
Funny, AT&T says they couldn't offer fiber to my address at my old house, or the one I moved to across the street. Of course I can get Sonic fiber at both addresses...which uses...drumroll...AT&T's fiber infrastructure.

It pains me especially that this is the company that way back in the day gave us Claude Shannon, Richard Hamming, and the transistor.

I don't know why they want to get out of the copper business...after 2022 FTC change, copper lines increased like 10X in cost and the provider has literally no legal obligation to provide uptime guarantee/support, sounds like a telecom's wet dream!
Sailfish licensing is unfortunate.

Unless you have one of their handful of (obsolete) blessed phones and pay them money for the privilege, you can't use their stuff.

I get that they're effectively a startup spun out of Nokia, and that they'd rather sell value than give it away. Still, non-Android Linux for touchscreens is in a sad state. Having one of the only options locked up where few people can try it and nobody can contribute to it makes the ecosystem worse.

There's gotta be a better solution to raise all the boats than get a handful of enthusiasts with old Sonys to pay them $30 each.

Ask HN: Recruiting Software That's Reasonable?

In the last 50 years, over 1600 murderers have been murdered by the state. It's a question of authority, not justification, and I think that's a much less meaningful distinction.

The fact that there's so little sympathy for the death of a CEO who, in their view, callously discards human life tells us the authority is a much smaller dealbreaker than the justification.
I feel like everyone missed your joke :)
Young people spend alot of time on tick tock. At the level of detail that social media companies can get, they can estimate fairly accurately what issues that people get concerned by, and their opinions. Then they can micro target individual subpopulations with messaging that particularly works at influencing them.

This is very different than historical propaganda efforts, were one had to target the largest common denominator.

Now you can send individualized messaging towards individual subgroups. You see some of this with politicians in the US saying one thing in a set of Facebook adds, while saying the opposite in another set. Because the ads are targeted, neither group sees the ads meant for the other group, Which allows for better tailoring of message.

On top of this the goal of a theoretical Chinese propaganda campaign is not necessarily to send a particular message, but to polarize and divide the country to make it even more disfunctional.
I do not have a lot o say here but that I appreciate this post.
> If they are infrequent printers, they should buy whatever cheap printer they want and then sign up for that companies ink subscription

erm, do any of these subscription services work without having to subject yourself to surveillance of everything you print? I can't imagine the companies are just content to take your word for the amount you've printed or when you need more ink. Off the cuff, I would guess most will force you to even compromise your personal computer itself by installing some proprietary malware.

FWIW the HP official black cartridge for the 1220C is ~$70, whereas generics are under $20. I'm sure the generics cut corners a little bit, but not $50 worth of corners. HP is most certainly overcharging for ink.

But the general failure pattern in our society isn't massive profits going to company owners, but rather ever growing management and administrative layers taking the surplus as their own salaries.

This is how the rule of law breaks down. When the institutions of government don’t protect the citizens from bad actors. The universal rage and glee seem to indicate that the public consensus is that the bad actor in this case was the deceased.
> let have Russia no other choice to intervene.

Could you expand on this? Why did Russia have no choice apart from trying to annex Ukraine?`Because to me it appears like they have all the choice, still, they just don't want to stop trying.
I agree. While it’s probably not possible to settle on defaults that work for each and every scenario, my personal preference is that factory defaults should tend to optimise for safety primarily. (Both operational safety, but also in regards to usage.)

For example, OP suggests setting the `synchronous` pragma to `NORMAL`. This can be a performance gain, but it also comes at the cost of slightly decreased durability. So for that setting, I’d feel that `FULL` (the default) makes more sense as factory default for a database.
Based on market share and the number of annual bankruptcies due to health reasons, UHC bankrupts ~80,000 people annually. While a finite number, this is still a LOT of people to comb through especially considering it might go back multiple years.
> This is not a soldier or a serial killer. It's worse than both.

How can you be so morally clueless?

When an insurance company denies coverage, it isn't killing someone. It didn't make anyone sick. Rather, it didn't pick up the bill for their treatment. That may have been wrong, it may have been an evasion of responsibility, but it is not comparable to someone who goes around killing people.

I have to understand comments like this (there are a lot of them) as some kind of morbid performance art. Either that or severe mental illness.
Theres not a flaw in the logic just because you dislike its conclusion.
>Literally, that is what he declared he spent on his election campaign.

They nailed agentic part and costs of indexing/searching/chunking large repositories. This thing searches 2000+ files in like few seconds and as I understand it's really hard to hit the limits of Pro version.

And I'm so impressed how attentive it is to the process - like searching for examples of code usage in other files, or double checking itself. Once I told it that code doesn't produce the right result, and it checked everything and then concluded that it's most likely my judgement mistake and asked to open DevTools and copy request payload, so it can verify my claim :) (and it was right – was my mistake).

Cursor is a toy compared to this.
Annulling the results of an election on an accounting issue is not democracy. They could prosecute him for fraud if he committed it, that's not the same as revoking the vote of the population.
This is a fallacy. People are not buying Chinese instead of European because they want destruction, they buy it because the European industry failed in making better or cheaper products.

If we are bailing out an industry, this can't be on the shoulders of the public who doesn't have anything to do with the failure. If we are going to save it, make sure those responsible for the failure are paying too. You are asking for Europeans to pay almost half a year of their salaries to save these industries, then at least take away the properties of those involved in the failure. Maybe it wouldn't change much but are in this together or not?
There are electoral laws that state how political advertising can be done, and how it can be funded for an election campaign.

Social media companies have to adhere to these laws - for example to say when something is an "Ad" paid by someone for the benefit of the candidate.

In this case, apparently although TikTok was notified that a bot network controlled and paid for by nobody-knows-who was spamming election ads (untagged as such), and they ignored everything.

This is all illegal.
A newspaper's editorial columns aren't the marketplace of ideas, the sum of all newspapers is. If TikTok were as editorially controlled as a newspaper, it would still represent one venue in the marketplace.

In essence, the government wants to ban foreign news sources. TikTok may have been less editorialized than Al Jazeera, but it had wider reach.
Yep, people not seeing the usecase have not tried to build a serverless product on AWS and found themselves stuck between cheap, performant but denormalized ddb or whatever the fuck aurora serverless v2 is supposed to be.

I do not want to denormalize my data model, i do not have a high performance usecase, I simply want infrastructure that scales with usage (down to 0) and a flexible normalized model I can build more on top of easily.

Something I like about the style of Stargate SG-1 was that for the most part (at least initially), the team was equipped with essentially standard military gear. It seemed practical and non-pretentious.

Even when the humans got starships, the crew were dressed and acted essentially like navy.

Made the show somehow more believable.

It probably also helped the budget.
I’m sure that over the years they could have reverse engineered the bombs and reused the warheads for more tactical strikes into Russian even if they could maintain the ICBM versions. It’s not like there weren’t a lot of nuke engineers and scientists in Ukraine when they split up the Soviet Empire
The EU don't have to disclose something like that, as Romania has a central authority that handles this stuff, as per the law:

> The collection of electoral contributions and the payment of electoral expenses may be made only through bank accounts notified in advance to the Permanent Electoral Authority.

The EU is not involved in directly financing candidates or political parties in Romania, they've already given us tens of billions of dollars to develop our country.
>This is not meaningfully different from another mass shooting except for the nuance and specificity of the target.

Take the Vegas shooting as an example. The planning and prep he put into it show competence, expertise, logistical planning, etc. All because he was (likely) disgruntled about an erosion of high roller perks being given to him by the casino.

Given how controversial the American heathcare system is, the idea that someone affected by it would be the right combination of fanatical and competent enough to plan and execute a symbolic killing doesn’t surprise me at all. It seems like everyone wants there to be a plan from “the people in power”. The idea that one random person could strike such a powerful target makes people feel uncomfortable with a world so chaotic.

This focuses on fertility, but the bigger deal here is it creates jobs. Because when you reduce the availability of labor you create more jobs and spur the economy. Not only will more people have jobs, but they will have more time to spend money. So this is potentially a win for the local economy.

Incumbents losing elections is what is supposed to happen. It's a sign of normal times, not of a crisis.

One of the key principles of a republic – both ancient and modern – is that personal power is bad for the society. Leaders are a necessary evil that must be tolerated (if only barely), but they also must be changed regularly.
>You would be in legal trouble for breaking electoral law. Based on what happened today, if there is proof that the electoral process was tainted, the elections can be annulled by the constitutional court.

So, your stance is that any foreign nation can disqualify any candidate they like by running a few ads for them?

Think seriously about what you're saying.

Social Security has it's own funding stream, a tax on wages earned. It does not add to the deficit or increase borrowing. If the funding dries up, the benefits are reduced. This is the Social Security cliff we hear about all the time.

United Healthcare is a publicly-traded company which makes a 6% profit margin and pays a dividend, which means that those profits ultimately benefit people's retirement accounts, pensions and middle-class investments.

The person who was killed made $10M last year, while UHC provided care to 52 million patients. So, the CEO was paid approximately $0.20 per patient treated last year.

Whether or not you spell Microsoft with dollar sign it doesn't make every other company the hero.

This doesn’t seem right to me. Is this 200k per dispenser? The dispenser is really just a fancy switch and a plug in a kiosk. If you are talking about the central transformer/switching systems, then yes that makes sense. But you can add a lot of dispensers to that.

A pump is only 25k to install if you don’t include the infrastructure to support the pump (tank, canopy, fire suppression, filters, etc).all that costs more than 200k.

Let’s say 25k is the marginal cost for an extra pump. What is the marginal cost for an extra dispenser?

You got used to blocking all ads back in the "punch the monkey" days, while also wondering about the externalities of flyers put under car windshield wipers, many of such flyers ending up in the drains and gutters as you walked around the unwalkable America. Perhaps America would be less a miserable place with fewer ads?

You remarked to a coworker that it would be a great justice if a Porta Potty truck overturned onto a spammer, and you respond to your coworker —good, hit them with another. Alas that karma does not work that way.

You forgot when the modern web got so bad—indeed, has only continued to, well, you have a term for it now, "enshittification"—as you do not recall the moment of souring. Was it a decade ago, or more like two?

You is here used in the Hindu sense of you being divided from you, as that is a good way to explain you being both a great fan of ads and you holding them in extremely low regard. You may also recall that you sometimes make "you're either with us, or against us" pronouncements.

“correctly”. I don’t consider it “incorrect” English when someone writes “cafe” or “resume”. It seems to me a little bit pædantic to insist that those words must have the accent marks in order to be correct (when using them in English).
>The EU is not involved in directly financing candidates or political parties in Romania, they've already given us tens of billions of dollars to develop our country.

Wow, seems like they're spent tens of billions of dollars in long term election interference campaigns. Are we going to see the politicians elected going to jail over it?
And you have to have a home address in a state where they are allowed... e.g. not NY. But yeah, I don't think it is incorrect to say they are "hard" to get, especially in context here.
You can add custom charge cycling on a schedule if using the Chargie app. One could for example have it normally stay at 50% but do a full charge/discharge cycle weekly.

Overall though, it would probably make the most sense to physically remove the battery from any phone used as a dedicated webserver, and then have it connected to an external UPS instead.

> If i pay some money to google to run some ads for the 2 main parties, and don't report it, do they also get disqualified?

If you pay money to run electoral ads, for someone's campaign, this money has to be declared, and the ads should be marked as such.

In this case, neither has happened.

TikTok also did not ban these bot networks as they should have according to the electoral laws, so there will be a separate investigation that I think the EU commission has started to find out why they are not complying with electoral laws in the countries they operate in.

I dunno, surely you would coast out of the system for a year or two. Once out in the Oort cloud, you can drift and turn quietly with your engines away from the solar system and vanish. Then point your engines away (add a glare shield maybe) and nail it inwards. Even if you get so spotted coming from some angle out of the ecliptic no one is going to be able to catch up considering you're coming straight at them rather than a nice stern chase. Accelerating out to meet you head on only makes it worse (though at 50,000km per second, say, you won't be in range for long no matter how far they go).

And even in the books the missiles that killed the Canterbury closed 200,000km in eight minutes. That's nearly 200g and the closing speed would have been 800km/s. They'd go 20 miles in a single frame of the 24fps video of the event.

Even 50km/s is not a low speed if your defensive strategy is a machine gun. You have 1 second to go from a dinner plate sized cross section object at 50km to being dead, and if even if you did hit it with a bullet going say 2km/s the other way, which is a very fast bullet, if it was on target before, the bits will still hit you nearly as effectively. In fact, a better missile would disperse into a spray of fine metal pieces a few 10s of km away and be uninterceptible and cover a wider area in car you can try a dodge.

Seems to me like combat in the universe would be a lot less close-in dogfights and a lot more long range stealth kills by tiny relativistic bullets. And a lot more plausibly deniable "disappearances" in deep space. And I get it, don't get me wrong, rule of cool and all that.

And while we don't have those engines, the approximate same techniques probably apply to any spaceship combat we'll see in the next 100 years. Months of nothing slogging across nothingness then dead in a second out of nowhere. Unless radar really improves and stealth doesn't, I guess.

And surface impacts from deep space will make current ICBM concerns seem quaintly sedate, even if we can't get to relativistic speeds.
