That ruling was overturned on appeal.

Interesting!

I found this video to be quite informative and addresses a relationship between the information incorporated into a chemical process and its function.

Nobel laureate Jack Szostak from University of Chicago delivered the Eyring General Lecture on March 17, 2023 at Arizona State University.

"The Origin of Life: Not as Hard as it Looks?"

Looks like a good application of Betteridge's Law.

This kind of ambiguity is rampant in technical writing. Example: "There are situations where developers do X instead of Y which is the wrong thing to do." Wait, is X wrong or Y?! You go ahead and assume X is wrong and then figure out later they meant Y is wrong or vice versa. Argh!

If this is a Severance reference, it's doubly hilarious.

> Also why not just go 10 days in a row and pull out 1k?

In the US, this could be considered "structuring" to avoid reporting requirements which is a federal crime with a sentence of up to 5 years in prison.

If the reason to pull out 1K/day is a 1K/day limit imposed by the bank, then the reason is obviously not to avoid reporting requirements and therefore it cannot be considered structuring.

And yet people are prosecuted.

I'm not the person you asked, but if I rephrase your question to "Then why do some places with low crime have less police?", then the answer just seems to be common sense.

In some encodings? One zero is sufficient for UTF-8.

Thank you. This is pretty much the comment that I was going to write but you saved me the time.

There are judges in Seattle that appear to disagree with the notion that serious violent criminals should be punished with serious jail time. However, what I can't figure out is, why doesn't the Seattle Times name the judges that are releasing violent criminals? It's just a nameless "judiciary" or "the judge". Why no interest in holding them accountable?

City Prosecutor Pete Holmes was voted out for not prosecuting but the judges are getting a pass because nobody knows who they are. (Yes I should look this up myself - I've resolved to do something - but the journalists could help.)

Brings back memories. I was a MS support engineer on CompuServe around 1989. I supported Windows/286 and 386, Excel, and Word for Windows. I posted around 25 to 30 messages a day. I had a partner named Bassam, if I recall correctly. It was just the two of us, and there was a period of time when it was only me.

Many times I wondered "if they only knew MS Windows support on CompuServe relies on one intern working out of a frat house (at the UW)." I used a US Robotics modem running at 300 or 1500 baud without error correction. I had to write my responses in notepad and paste it in due to line noise.

Helping so many people every day was very satisfying and I am still proud of that work.

You should be! As you can see, people are probably still talking about it 20 years later.

This project compliments the stage0 project (featured on the HN front page earlier today) which builds a C compiler using an assembler that is bootstrapped from hex. However, those bootstraps require an existing kernel. You are required to provide your own. I decided, as a challenge, to build a tiny purpose-built x86 32-bit kernel which can run the stage0-posix shells and compilers all the way to the M2-Planet compiler, which is a subset of C. I learned (after starting) that they plan on writing a bootstrap kernel themselves, so I hope this helps in some way. It took three months of very tedious and error-prone work because I avoided, on principle, using an assembler except to check the encoding of individual opcodes. (All jump offsets were hand calculated.) Please see github.com/ironmeld/builder-hex0 for it's history.
