Nope - that's not correct: saying "there shouldn't be any pizza party" is a vote! If more than 50% of the people invited at the party say: "We should actually get salad!" - then, guess what? You would get salad

"If <50% people vote, then the vote is arguably illegitimate" That's not how a democracy works. Unless you're forcibly prevented from voting - or are denied the right to - that's not the case. It is not an illegi

I am replying to all the posts pushing this defeatist agenda. Not only it's wrong, but it's also dangerous. It is representatives of the countries in the Council of the EU voting these legislations through: hold them accountable a

EU citizens CAN block this! Make your representative in the Council of the EU accountable. If 4 members veto this the legislation will not pass. If you can't move your country representative to veto the bill, then the issue is not the

I think that the fatal error is not going and vote for the European Parliament elections [0]. You don't get to complain when you decide not to participate in the democratic process. Even if this was passed by the Council of the EU [1]

So - I guess ticket shaming on HN works?

Wow - I was re-reading the article, and it jumped on my face: "The breakdown of daily Covid hospital diagnoses shows that of more than 780 hospitalizations dated last Thursday ...with 13 per cent made in the days and weeks that foll

You didn't read the article, did you now? The numbers say - according to the article itself - that of the patients hospitalized and diagnosed with Covid 44% had a positive test before being admitted - 43% had a positive test within 2 d

Great journalism at work here! So - the expectation is that people with symptoms of Covid19 would be tested before being hospitalized? I am actually impressed that 44% were. It would be standard operating procedure for an hospital receiv

How is adding features a reduction in impedance mismatch just because they are from the same vendor? For example: Redis timeseries is a separate setup - how does it reduce complexity? Edit: fixed typo

I may be stupid and missing the point - but this part from the BMW page made me laugh: "This nanostructure paint finish, among the blackest ever made by man, tricks the viewer’s perception of the car as a three-dimensional shape."

Interestingly enough: the highest temperature recorded in the 1930's is 4.6C lower than the current record.

But all that spam would come into play with "generic" feeds. You don't expect spam from people, groups and organizations that you subscribe to. You can think of "discovery feeds" as an addon - and maybe even not pro

I am confused. This is your tweet about the article [0] - it's from 18 hours ago. The last tweet from Alexandra [1] is from the 9th of May. Am I missing something? [0] https://mobile.twitter.com/lpfeed/status/

I had the "stupid moment" of the day. The thermal effects of evaporation on a surface is that the surface actually cools down -- so I could not get the "it produces heat" part. After drinking my morning coffee I realized

Seven months of access and they did nothing with it? I find this strange - not impossible, but quite strange.

You can get you own armed guards - but you will still subsidize other people's police force. You pay taxes to provide a minimum service to all of the community, you can then take advantage of it or not - that's your prerogative. I

This is not the first time I see "(not our best model due to commercial issues)" in a model release. Am I right thinking the the fully trained model may have been sponsored by a provate entity and it's being kept for a commer

None commented yet on the suggested issue? They ran out of space? Really? Azure Monitoring, Azure Sentinel - surely they have the simplest metric: used vs remaining space. Or did they hit a limit in the blob/file storage. Still: no mon

I miss text. It seems now that whenever I search for 'how to do X?' there is a lot of video results for sometimes very trivial things. A 10 minutes video with the usual 'subscribe and hit the bell icon', a word from the

Nitpick: 'Simply copy a few lines of code and utilize to our API' - I am guessing that's a stray 'to' in there?

Yes, they will - as they did with Swiss bank secrecy [0]. It's actually quite simple: if you want to do business with the G7 countries - with close to 40% of the world economy [1] - you follow their rules. While 60% is a lot, it's

After the bombs on Lebanon I was mainly angry at myself. I overheard the news during dinner - "Beirut has been bombed" - and kept eating. Somehow growing up I ended up in a mental state where bombs being dropped on Beirut was &#x2

I think that 'most items' mentioned in the sibling comment is the problem. Who decides what's included in that subset? Practical example: "Mockingbird Lane" was released by NBC in 2012, they decided it was 'not

Interesting tidbit: the hash they have for the infringed work it's the correct hash for ubuntu-20.04.2.0-desktop-amd64.iso [0] - this removes any good faith argument on their part. There is an infinitely small chance of collisions - bu

It definitely depends on what you're doing with it. In the article the author is using it to parse only nginx logs to report page hits counts - I probably would have not gone with Elasticsearch to begin with. I find it strange that the
