What about questioning the purpose of the taxes you pay?

100%.

The given situation is solvable only by the humans involved. They want different things. Either one of them has authority over the other, or they talk it over.

The obvious answer is a relational structure. In the given example, host, status, path and target should be separate relations. They'll all be tiny ones, a few rows each.

Of course, performance etc are a separate story but as far as the shape of the data goes, that's what the solution is

Media people obviously thought that kill switch meant something that can kill the driver and rushed to reassure the public that no that was not the case.

They're good people at heart. Don't misunderstand them.

It's not as if they don't know that this is a false comparison, specially because generations of Intel CPUs used in Macs also did frequency throttling.

"Unlike traditional Intel CPUs, CPU cores in Apple silicon chips can be run at a wide range of frequencies, as set by macOS."

The use of the word 'traditional' here is essentially gaslighting.

The slowness would be inevitable because the architecture combines the weak point of Redis (network stack) with the weak point of sqlite (disk access).

It abandons Redis' in-memory data and sqlite's in-process speed... for what?

Early in this article, there's this sentence: Google’s results are really good.

Reminds me of the comedian who, when asked, "How's your wife," would say, "Compared to what?"

Even without writing code, on personal projects it's worth it for the three things I'm always lazy about:

1. Good, detailed commits 2. Tests 3. Docstrings

100%.

The HN crowd has come a long way from practically hero-worshipping Snowden to automatically assuming that 'state actor' must mean the countries marked evil by the US.

My Yahoo mail account was created as a Rocketmail account, likely in 1996 or 97, when Rocketmail launched and became the biggest Hotmail rival.

Yahoo acquired it and it became Yahoo mail.

So 27 or 28 years

"will continue" can't really be said about anything Google with any degree of confidence.

It's amusing that NYT spends so much verbiage in the complaint speaking so highly of itself as doing some great service to humanity and then stating a legal argument that is equally applicable to a trash-rag dishing out celebrity gossip.

So this is not about railway trains?

Also, there's that other country, which cannot be named, which can do this rocket shit reasonably well.

"Mission control on Earth receives that data in binary code, or a series of ones and zeroes."

That's a relief.

Launching a small company is an even bigger nightmare, and that's actually the bigger problem.

The legal cost of dealing with a few _mistaken_ (or fake) GDPR complaints can wipe you out.

The bigger company will have inhouse or retainered lawyers who'll deal with it.

Almost all regulation acts as a barrier which protects bigger companies who can pay lawyer fees without blinking.

It's amazing how much of the HN crowd sides with the bureaucracies which are basically pals of the guys with deep pockets.

Well, apart from the fact that the Iran-Iraq war had been on right there for eight years, there's all this on the referred Wikipedia page, including the fact that the Vincennes was actually in Iranian territorial waters at the time:

The Flight 655 incident occurred a year after the USS Stark incident, during which the Iraqi Air Force attacked the U.S. Navy guided missile frigate USS Stark on 17 May 1987, killing 37 American sailors.

U.S. naval forces had also exchanged gunfire with Iranian gunboats in late 1987, and the guided missile frigate USS Samuel B. Roberts had struck an Iranian sea mine in April 1988.

Two months before the incident, the U.S. had engaged in Operation Praying Mantis, resulting in the sinkings of the Iranian frigate Sahand, the Iranian fast attack craft Joshan, and three Iranian speedboats.

Also, the Iranian frigate Sabalan was crippled, two Iranian platforms were destroyed, and an Iranian fighter was damaged. A total of at least 56 Iranian crew were killed, while the U.S. suffered the loss of only one helicopter, which crashed apparently by accident, killing its two pilots.

On the morning of 3 July 1988, USS Vincennes was passing through the Strait of Hormuz returning from an escort duty. A helicopter deployed from the cruiser reportedly received small arms fire from Iranian patrol vessels as it observed from high altitude. Vincennes moved to engage the Iranian vessels, in the course of which they all violated Omani waters and left after being challenged and ordered to leave by a Royal Navy of Oman warship.

Vincennes then pursued the Iranian gunboats, entering Iranian territorial waters.

So yeah, you are right, there was no actual war. But everyone was pretty war-ish

It's like showing up at Kitty Hawk in 1903 and, "You mean this thing can't even fly me to New York? Useless!'

It's completely legal under the law called 'might is right'.

Forget about exchanges. If a random business anywhere in the world buys a product from a factory in a neighbouring country and settles in dollars, this applies.

I don't care about Binance or CZ or even crypto but it was worthwhile wading through the article just to learn this:

"The U.S.’s point of view on the matter, elucidated at length in any indictment for financial crimes, is that if you have ever touched an electronic dollar, that dollar passed through New York, and therefore you’ve consented to the jurisdiction of the United States. Dollarization is very intentionally wielded like a club to accomplish the U.S.’s goals."

That's what a board of a for-profit company which has a fiduciary duty towards shareholders should do.

However, the OpenAI board has no such obligation. Their duty is to ensure that the human race stays safe from AI. They've done their best to do that ;-)

Did you read my comment?

I'm saying that the Americans want colonoscopies to remain unchallenged because they make money out of it. This has little (or nothing) to do with the cost-benefit trade-off that the article discusses.

I didn't find this (self-evident) idea anywhere in the article.

The sad thing about the article is that skirts around mentioning the possibility that the American disease industry hates this trial because it will reduce their income.

The good thing about the article is that it has a colonoscopy joke that also involves (bonus for the HN crowd) Bayesians.

At least till XP, and maybe 7 too, you had progman.exe and fileman.exe in the Win folder.

All you had to was set shell=progman.exe in (I think) win.ini. Or maybe in the other .ini but it was possible.

You could switch the theme (at least in SP2) to look basically like 2000, which is what I always did. You could actually do that in 7 too.

It shows no jamming over Ukraine.

However, since the map actually shows the percentage of flights reporting low-navigation accuracy, what it really means is that there are no normal air traffic over Ukraine.

It's not just cats but their larger relatives too.

Just do an image search for 'Lions in boxes', 'Tigers in boxes' and so on.

Look at the bright side. Before long, there will be thin men's clubs

I see that I can specifically ask for results that are in the Flash .swf format. Very convenient.

expectation that the file changes only when you click Save is broken

This has nothing to do with sqlite. You can have (or not have) gradual saves in any file format. It's a choice that the developers of that app made.

file format may have braking changes

The sqlite file format is unchanged for 19 years now. A world of features and capabilities have been added since. Don't hold your breath waiting for the sqlite format to change.
