I haven't been to Notre Dame, but there are certainly what I'd term "thin places" in the world, where the spiritual is {closer, more accessible, more present}. I would expect a long-lived active cathedral to be one such place. It's not just the beauty, it's something about the physical location being a focus of prayer over time. I don't have a good sense for how it works. Just that it does.
What role does a retiree in Florida (or any other state) have in getting the product from the producer to the customer?

None. They just participated in an equities market. That equities market is now the main concern while doing business and it's now just as bad, if not worse, than a free rider problem.
"yarn/npm install" has an artifact in the project directory, so here's one point for "make" instead of "just":

start: node_modules
yarn run start

test: node_modules
yarn run test

node_modules: package.json yarn.lock
yarn install
touch $@

You can clone the repo and "make test", and it'll include "yarn install" automatically - then on subsequent "make test", it'll skip it because "node_modules" is already up-to-date. And then include it again later if someone updated the packages. The "touch" is so the last-modified timestamp on "node_modules" is updated even if "yarn install" doesn't add/remove anything, so make knows it succeeded.

"yarn install" is usually pretty fast when it has nothing to do, so I can see why people may not bother and just have it run every time, but patterns like this can be used for quite a bit. This way heavier commands don't need to be run repeatedly and devs don't need to know all the individual commands to run in sequence.
I have an idea: Make them the phone the same size, but with a longer battery life!

Sure, most people don't care whether they have to charge their phone daily or every other day, but when a daily charge uses 45% of the battery's capacity, instead of 90%, not only is it wearing the battery half as fast, but it will still be usable even when the battery has lost more than 10% of its capacity, giving the phone with the larger battery more than double the lifespan.

Who cares what mechanism they're using if there's so little regulation they can just raise it for the hell of it?
In general do we expect our doctors to be making mistakes 10% to 40% of the time? Those are the rejection rates.

Either the insurers are getting it dangerously wrong, or we've got problems even worse than that.
I mean it's a living church. The entire thing can be rebuilt and it will still be the real Notre Dame de Paris. It'd have to stop being used for the original function.

Similar to how the California missions that are still parishes will continue to be complete. The ones that are museums will deteriorate.

The beauty of a building is more than just its physical materials but also those things for which it was built and those people who built it

The Past and Future of 15.ai
> The 1977 virus was already circulating in the population, hence why it ended up as a vaccine.

The 1957 flu evolved naturally, but it went extinct in the wild. By 1976, it wasn't known to be circulating anywhere. It then reappeared in 1977 with an almost identical genome, without the mutations it should have picked up in 20 years of cryptic spread. This is consistent with storage in a laboratory freezer, and very little else. The exact site of reintroduction isn't known, but it's generally believed to be a vaccine challenge trial in China:

> Although there is no hard evidence available, the introduction of this 1977 H1N1 virus is now thought to be the result of vaccine trials in the Far East involving the challenge of several thousand military recruits with live H1N1 virus (C.M. Chu, personal communication).

https://www.nature.com/articles/nm1141

So the scientists who undertook that trial (or whatever the activity was) caused that pandemic. If not for their actions, those 700k people wouldn't have died. Of course a different flu virus would have circulated, but 700k was much worse than an average season.

Does that not concern you? The reckless trial caused those influenza deaths, just as surely as the leak at Bhopal caused those poisoning deaths. The long chain of transmission between the site of reintroduction and the site of the deaths doesn't change the causality--if those researchers hadn't reintroduced the virus, then those patients wouldn't have died.

> Unlike plane accidents, diseases and pandemics happened way before labs that could leak them.

That's not a meaningful statement. Cancer happened way before radiological accidents that could induce them, and most cancer is natural; but Edison's X-ray tube nonetheless killed his assistant. When a new technology creates a new way to die, a period will exist in which it hasn't killed anyone yet; but someone can still be first.

The correct guide is therefore the most similar pre-existing technologies, which in this case have already killed 700k people. It's possible that by failing to take any lesson from that, researchers at the WIV have now killed an additional 7M. If that's the case, then I hate to think what comes next.

Interesting one - I generally found it to be the other way for me. Chrome was sluggish on my older phone, but Firefox was faster.
Keep in mind the church doesn't own the building. It's owned by France and France gets to invite whom they want. The church just uses the building by arrangement.

I only say this because you're not really supposed to be selling seats to a Mass. St Peters for example all masses are public. There are tickets but these are free if it's expected to be large.

It's still a choice. They don't do it when there's an article on the dangers of the rise of Neo-Nazism, or on the horrors of IS. "Now we interview Paul (32), who doesn't think it's dangerous at all, in fact he thinks it's pretty great!". Or on new cancer medicine; "Now we go to Mary (55) who isn't a fan of the new medicine, advocating that cancer patients cure it with yoga instead.".

"Neutral" also doesn't have to mean "both sides".

The Welrod has been getting a bunch of press in the last couple days because of speculation that it was used in the United Healthcare shooting. Noted Gun Expert Ian McCollum of Forgotten Weapons has opined that it is definitely not[1], but it's an interesting piece of history nonetheless, and a ton of people have probably heard the term without having any idea of what it means.

In my first link “In terms of constant (1960) dollars, the median family income increased from $4,000 in 1947 to $5,600 in 1960, or by 40 percent.”

That’s 40% in 13 years vs a 33% in 64 years and a great deal of “productivity improvement” from all those computers, etc.

And I’ll reiterate because you seemed to skipped that bit “productivity is vastly higher” and people are paying for stuff that was otherwise done by homemakers. I know many dual income households that pay for childcare, housecleaning, food prep, shopping, etc which should be subtracted from any income differential. Eating fast food isn’t necessarily a net positive over a home cooked meal even if it “boosts” GDP.

PS: There’s also other subtle differences, like commuting costs, but to a reasonable approximation none of our increases in standard of living comes from an increase in dual income households.
The source isn't altered (I take the component HTML, parse it, build it into a DOM, and render it). The data from the API is compiled separately (where sanitization can happen if you have untrusted user data). The two are combined together during SSR by passing the sanitized data to the component.

Developer controlled code at the component-level is assumed trusted, however, there are three mechanisms for handling escaping/sanitizing on the server:

1. There are helpers built in to the API (you can conditionally enable sanitization depending on need) to handle sanitization and helper functions built-in to the server-side to do one-off escaping/sanitization for HTML.

2. Query params are sanitized automatically to prevent injection.

3. To prevent unescaped HTML in data from breaking renders, I base64 encode it before sending it to the browser.

This approach to escaping is by design as some use cases call for sanitization (they're rendering user-generated data) while others do not.

You're welcome to audit the source and see if I missed something or make suggestions on improvements.
Which is why spotify should pay a percentage of MY subscription fee to only the artists that I listen to. My money shouldn’t go to Taylor Swift if I don’t listen to Taylor Swift.

That would eliminate direct financial payment from botting. But botting could still affect trending or “related” recommendations for indirect financial boost.

I always thought the stickers over the camera thing was to protect the club's online presence. So that when a fight broke out, a belligerent patron was being ejected or when drugs were being consumed in the booths/bathrooms the establishment did not have to worry about footage landing on third party social, mapping or review platforms thereby sullying their name or brand.

Patron's privacy and safety is just a cover story.

We actually work 9hs here in Argentina (1h is for lunch, although you're probably still at the office and discussing work-related things anyways so...)

Is the common thing in the US to work 9-5 (8hs) with lunch included? Or do you guys just not take lunch?
Instead of "livable wage", we should aim for everyone being fantastically wealthy.
Potential rise in racist incidents must overrule accurate reporting on and research into what may have spawned a global pandemic directly killing 6+ million people (more than the Vietnam war and Korean war combined) and indirectly killing many more.

We already do that. Corporate boards.

There are plenty of such devices (they're really popular in Ukraine right now). Ecoflow, Deye, etc.

The problem is that there aren't that many loads for them (well, maybe a fridge). Even a small AC needs at least 1.5kW of power, so for 16 with little-to-no sunlight you'll end up needing a 24kWh battery. This is a pretty huge battery.
This paper uses actuals that end in 2020. Things are happening fast enough to make that dated. Especially in batteries.
Absolutely, I don't see batteries being helpful for annual cycles, just for daily. Hence my mention of getting through windless nights. The article I referenced was mainly about that too, suggesting we'd need about a week of battery storage.

For annual cycles, the easier method is simply to overbuild your generation. If you have half as much solar input during the winter, then build twice as much solar.

Here's an article covering a study based on US data, suggesting that four days of storage and a 2X overbuild is roughly optimal there:

Right, so the problem with the interview process isn't that it tests the wrong skills, but that it fails to prevent the secret use of AI such that a human can appear to possess those skills when they do not, in fact, possess them.

It seems there are at least two different perspectives:

A) If a human can use AI to pass a remote interview that they would otherwise fail, then the questions are unsuitable for use in interviews, whether remote or in person.

B) If a human can use AI to pass a remote interview that they would fail if it were face to face, then the questions may be reasonable, but the safeguards for remote interviews are insufficient.

I disagree with A.
The correct definition for WebUSB is "Chrome API", as no other browser intends to implement it.
It's likely being posted due to recent interest in B&T due to the killing of the UnitedHealthcare CEO in Manhattan. I don't think there is any specific evidence that this is the firearm which was used but there is lots of online chatter due to it being an integrally suppressed pistol.

Seems like they left the transponder off until they left Damascus proper, went up to a partial cruise altitude, turned, descended and took a runway approach pattern turning toward Lebanon. Whether or not it's a red herring is anyone's guess, but I suspect Assad and the Republican Guard will be unloaded here. It would be pretty risky to fly the plane to somewhere like Russia with the transponder live, and potentially even more dangerous to go somewhere else with it on.

You can't capture a body with only a two-body interaction. You need at least 3 bodies for that.

I guess a star with a Jupiter-class planet that survived the red giant phase might qualify. But then the conditions will have to be just right for the captured planet to end up near the star.
I’m not sure what you’re after here. The phrase “good manufacturing practice” is somewhat ambiguous, unless it’s defined elsewhere in the law.
It’s quite common in the middle class and below in the US to spend every extra dollar you make as your income rises. This means, despite getting promotions or raises, your a savings rate remains zero (or negative).

One primary way to increase spending is a vehicle upgrade.

Most vehicles sold are used vehicles. But if you consider only the new vehicles, the average monthly payment for new vehicles is about $740/mth.
Or worse yet, there is government regulation, but it increases rents, by limiting construction of new housing.
No. That has always been the case. E.g. SCOTUS overturning the EPA authority over wetlands not connected to the water bodies.
No, reduce barriers to increasing housing supply. You can’t fix the gap between housing starts and population with more barriers to building new housing.
Neutral is kind of a silly concept. Any attempt to even describe the sides, or even to enumerate them, will reveal inherent bias. You see this all over newspapers in the US who try to remain unbiased (between the two political parties), which results in an incredibly nasty feedback loop where parties and the media dictate policy to each other while ignoring every other viewpoint in existence.

Give me reporting with clear polemic any day, please. At least I can adjust for that and consume contrary polemics.
>> we can introduce new licenses that allow free usage for individuals and nonprofits and charge the companies

You definitely can use such a license for your project. That's trivial to do.

However, of course, that would not be an OSS compatible license.

I'm as big a fan of OSS as the next guy. I'm also a fan of eating. I sell my work (as source code) with a proprietary license. That's how I "solved" the problem, at least for me.

Ideologically I'd love for it to be open source. But there's no sustainable way of capturing that value. So rather than not-do-it I chose to charge for it instead. (Shrug).
Thanks. I was wondering if you're using a LLM to get unstructured data? Or how do you recognize that something is a location for example?

"[The two generals problem] said that you can't achieve consensus (both safety and liveness at the same time), they did not say you have to sacrifice safety under message-losses or asynchrony conditions.

> Arctic seems surprisingly disinterested in advertising its new fan, even though it represents a step up in performance in its class. The company deletes or ignores Arctic subreddit posts, press releases are difficult to find, and very few outlets have reported on the fan's real-world performance.

The law says: "The FDA is responsible for food safety".

The FDA finds that the red dye #3 may be unsafe and bans it. Prior to Chevron's repeal, you could have only argued that the FDA's ban was not a proportionate response, or you could have argued that the FDA had not properly consulted with the industry. But that was about it.

Now you can just go to the court in Oil City, TX and say: "Nah, we don't believe that the red dye #3 is harmful. We think we ought to add it to every school meal! SAVE THE CHILDREN!". The jury agrees with you, and that's it.
Ask HN: Anyone else loving the new Google Chat?
So basically I got frustrated with other messaging platforms:

- on messenger, it's full of ads and unnecessary features like filters on calls, and the video chat is bad quality. message is now unsearchable.

- on whatsapp, same thing, it's now also unsearchable.

- on telegram, great ux and its strength lies in its bot api but i had a hard time signing up with new accounts (it bans aggressively now).

- on slack, good contender, but for work only, not personal stuff.

telegram used to be my bias but it started getting enshitified in the past three years since they started monetizing it aggressively.

on twitter / x, it's not searchable too, it crashes on my android. but i like how it's monetized in a way that it makes me pay $1 monthly to prove im not a bot, and i can pay extra to remove all ads and have a smooth xp.

I discovered that Google Chat is now integrated in the Gmail app and I am loving it because:

- the chat is smooth and searchable (very very important)

- the audio / video quality is better.

- can send images, videos, gifs, etc.

- almost everyone has a gmail anyway so I can just easily chat them up.

- it's viewable on web and mobile.

- the notifications just works.

- it's free, we bought google workspace and surprised it's a part of it already, and i can chat with other people who are gmail users.

Anyone with similar exp? If not, what do you use and why?

Given the murder of UHC's CEO this week, the concept of "social murder" has been doing the rounds [1]:

> When one individual inflicts bodily injury upon another such that death results, we call the deed manslaughter; when the assailant knew in advance that the injury would be fatal, we call his deed murder. But when society places hundreds of proletarians in such a position that they inevitably meet a too early and an unnatural death, one which is quite as much a death by violence as that by the sword or bullet; when it deprives thousands of the necessaries of life, places them under conditions in which they cannot live – forces them, through the strong arm of the law, to remain in such conditions until that death ensues which is the inevitable consequence – knows that these thousands of victims must perish, and yet permits these conditions to remain, its deed is murder just as surely as the deed of the single individual; disguised, malicious murder, murder against which none can defend himself, which does not seem what it is, because no man sees the murderer, because the death of the victim seems a natural one, since the offence is more one of omission than of commission. But murder it remains.

The American private health insurance industry is quite literally built on knowingly and foreseeably killing people (by denying claims) for profit. But we don't tend to view it as murder in the same as we do when someone is gunned down on the street. Yet we should.

Shelter is a basic human need. Lack of shelter will foreseeably kill people. It's no different to private health insurance.

As another commenter put it (correctly), this is really about using AI to collude on pricing If most landlords use the same software system that produces the same results, then that's just collusion.

That's really what AI is for: to detach humans from their responsibility in violent outcomes, be it with colluding to raise rents as is the case here or, say, to target bombs [2].

We're barrelling towards being just like brick kiln workers in Pakistan, India and Bangladesh except half of us are cheering that on.
