Electric trains are pretty common in some parts of the world, it's just that the US has never bothered with it. And to be fair, diesel trains are already very energy efficient. I believe trains haul about as much cargo around as trucks do in the US on a daily basis, but the amount of fuel they consume is like a rounding error in comparison to trucks.

I think electrifying the trains is still worth doing, but if we want to reduce CO2 emissions and dependence on fossil fuels, it's not as important as getting those diesel-powered trucks off the road somehow.
This is just a question of energy density, cost, and how much weight/cost you are willing to add to the truck.

We'll hit that point soon enough (if we haven't already with some nice truck that hasn't crossed my newsfeed). In the meantime, there's lots of shorter haul trucking routes, and routes with access to fast chargers half way (300 mile electric semis definitely exist), to convert.
Perhaps true, but the strongest privacy protections in the US are still pretty weak. The biggest penalty I know of is Anthem 2018, where they leaked HIPAA-qualifying records on 80 million customers. Their financial penalty was a whopping... $16 million. Two dimes per affected customer!

It's the difference in medical establishment skill level between your doctor and you. You are always at a disadvantage. I've long thought that a disinterested third party needs to be involved. Someone with real oversight taking a position adversarial to the hospital and strictly to create the best possible outcome for the patient.

The worst part for me is I used to live next to a house that was much like the one on the show, and it eventually sold for ~2.1 million dollars or so.

So while I idolise the show, I also sit around trying to identify the families net worth, which is likely quite a lot.

Its sad that we get this amazing tv show but the lifestyle in the show (having a huge brisbane adjacent queenslander with a lovely tree in the backyard and hours and hours of free time to spend with your kids) is out of reach for so many.

My immediate thought upon seeing the condmove() example was "Slap ‘volatile‘ on all those local variables". This forces a standards-compliant compiler to reload their values every time they are referenced. Basically, the compiler is no longer allowed to assume that the current thread of execution is the only actor that updates the variable -- any other mechanism (including another thread, but not limited to that -- e.g., a hardware DMA channel) could have modified the variable's value.

That doesn't solve the hardware-JIT-level problem, but it would appear to solve the compiler-level problem.

ETA: I only read up to p. 3, but I did search for the text "volatile" and didn't find it.
I switched to firefox when Firebug came out. I haven't switched since, although I spend a lot of time on iOS so maybe half my browsing is FF.

Ideally a lot of the long-haul freight could be handled by rail, but another option for trucks is to have electrified highways. There are some projects in Sweden (one of which uses power rails embedded in slots in the road surface) and Germany (which uses overhead lines).

The slots-in-the-road approach is a bit more expensive, but it can be used by cars and trucks, whereas the overhead lines are just for trucks.
Agree, Rust is quite hard to learn, but now that I know it I have a hard time writing anything else. It really gives you the best of a lot of worlds.

You (both zfg and any HN member reading this) can email the mods if you've got questions about how the site's treating you.

I don't believe I've ever had sanctions put on my account here (though dang did admonish me, once, among numerous other interactions). But I've had my IP address caught up in bans (I often read HN without logging in), and a few other things.

That is: if you want to know what's happening to your account, you can fall back on the slightly-higher-friction option of asking what's happening. No, it's not there automatically in your account profile, but then, that solution would permit for an attacker to automatically detect (and presumably counter) such information. The soft / opaque / translucent failure mode of HN actually works reasonably well in that context and environment.

NB: I'm in general agreement with many of your concerns about HN, and in particular how it fits and how it is behaving in a rapidly-changing political environment in which HN and YC have a considerable role. But not everything you're proposing bears out, and even some of what does (e.g., opaque limitations on accounts) doesn't work well in a larger context. I do have strong concerns about how HN's comments guidance hits unevenly in political discussion especially. I'm not entirely sure how to best improve on that, though I've been thinking through options and doing some reading (Jurgen Habermass's work in particular).

I've spent about 15 years studying HN (and often being wrong about it). If you'd (again, zfg or others) care to discuss via email my contact info is on my account page.

Hi, I made the calculator and this video. As I discuss throughout and particularly towards the end of the video, my design is based on Thomas de Colmar's Arithmometer (~1820-1860) and Leibniz's Stepped Reckoner (late 1600s), both of which predate the Curta (1930s). Or rather, the Curta is a super cool and elegant refinement of those (and other) designs. I think it is more accurate to say the Curta is like a rolled up version of those (and my) calculator.

The "big drum" you mention is sometimes called a Leibniz Wheel, though this naming convention is misleading in some ways: http://journals.cambridge.org/abstract_S0007087414000429. As that article argues (though I disagree with some points), the history of calculating machines is more nuanced than a linear progress narrative suggests. So, I tried to keep my narrative a little tighter and not go much into the calculators of the late 19th century and the designs in the 20th century like the Curta. Also, the Curta's (awesome!) story has been told many times, so I did not feel the need to go into it. Sorry to go on this long, but I think this history is fascinating and how we tell it speaks to how we understand how technology changes through time.

Really, it's "how to communicate with parents" because I am not Asian and I have been both sides of this conversation over time. It's normal for a bandwidth mismatch and signalling protocol mismatch to exist in this space, it's not an Asia thing.

The PII of the nurses being accidentally shared by a staffing agency isn't a HIPAA violation. Yes the nurses are providers but their relationship with the Uber for nurses service isn't a medical provider relationship. It's definitely a legal and ethical failing but I don't think it's a HIPAA one.
The script thing is great. By the way those 'oddly formatted' comments at the top are not a uv thing, it's a new official Python metadata format, specifically designed to make it possible for 3rd party tools like uv to figure out and install relevant packages.

And in case it wasn't clear to readers of your comment, uv run script.py creates an ephemeral venv and runs your script in that, so you don't pollute your system env or whatever env you happen to be in.

He says in the article that "But even if I could somehow get macOS running on my iPad Pro, would that resolve this tension? I don't think so. A tablet lacks a keyboard and trackpad and even if I buy models designed for the iPad, tablets are all about push, poke, and drag."

So in the end, even if he could get CLI/Root access to his iPad it wouldn't matter anyway because of their perceived quality of the iPad accessory peripherals, that are built into the Macbook.

So he should just buy a damn Macbook. He wants an iPad that runs MacOS and has a quality keyboard and trackpad, so buy the product that has all of those things built in and don't complain you can't jerry rig the iPad to do the same.

Eh.

Last year the total HIPAA violations fines were less than $9.2 million.

A figure I could find for hospital revenue in the same year which is a good enough proxy for fines vs revenue is about $1.2 trillion.

Which rounding because who cares comes to 0.001% of medical revenue ends up being paid for HIPAA violation fines.

Or the equivalent ratio of about a cup of coffee for a typical enough person per year.

HIPAA needs teeth, what it says you're supposed to do is quite strong, the enforcement of it is pathetic.
Great concept. I'm an avid geoguessr and wikitrivia player, you're definitely onto something here.

I built a prototype version similar to this called PastPort last year, but I like your idea better.

> Terrible idea for a team.

I disagree, but I am 100% with you on the imperative for structure and order in the codebase.

A typical angle - and it used to be very good - is that vanilla JS doesn't offer a good way to organize common code or impose some sort of structure. I find this to be at the heart of "wont work with a team" arguments. This is no longer the case and hasn't been for some time now (~10 years):

Optical media costs more per GB/TB than hard disks. It’s lower capacity and slower so there’s more hassle swapping discs. One time use media generates trash when the data on the disc is obsolete. Discs are a better fit when the use case calls for read only access or physical copies cheap enough to literally hand out. Such as ransomware resistance or evidence chain of custody. For offline copies you could just be diligent in unplugging external hard drives and testing backups.

So Flowx is back on Google Play now. There was no notification that the changes were accepted or the appeal was accepted of that the app was live again. Nothing.

During the 1-2 days the app was removed from the Google Play store, Flowx missed out on new subscriptions and it seems the recurring subscriptions were cancelled.

I find it crazy Google can do this to people with no recourse.

This is why we need multiple app stores on each platform.

As a solo developer, it has been hard to support multiple app stores but now I will make an effort, encourage other developers to list on other stores and encourage users to install from the smaller stores.

I know it's hopeful, but I hope get get a better app ecosystem.

I remember when Apple and Google worked hard to woo developers and users, now they own the market, they can act without concern.
