What about a handheld scanner using smell to distinguish good from bad. As long as food isn't bred to smell certain ways that can't be distinguished from good, it should work fine.

When the enforcing agency works against it, its harder to effect change. Do many companies change their ways due to GDPR though? Not having too many fines may also be a testament to compliance kicking in before fines are necessary.

I think the system improved the web as a whole for EU with new options for consumers despite.

Are these runtime tests or only for CI/CD?

How do you test what wasn't changed, how does that work. Do you select before and after and compare certain rows or tables and if so random ones or which ones? A small example would be awesome.

So they don't release the result as OSS because upstream wouldn't have included it?
DelightOne··on You cannot police misinformation in a fair, reproducible, and representative way
- by helping others. Recording valuable talking points, refutations.

- by understanding more and more deeply, instead of possibly less.

- by having a jumpboard to learn more.

- by seeing where you stand compared to the larger picture. Understanding the opposite side instead of just seeing them as enemy of ones' own opinion.

- by seeing more people that argue similar to you. Requires categorization and grouping of votes.

- by being able to share discussions more easily and not to be bound by a single group for answers.

DelightOne··on You cannot police misinformation in a fair, reproducible, and representative way
I feel like debates (especially on BS) are (or have to be?) repeated way too often, why is that anyway? Why can't it be one single tree, consisting of branches on multiple platforms, collecting, managing and curating?
DelightOne··on GoSTL: Algorithm and datastructure library for Go similar to C++ STL
What namespacing do you envision? On the one side you don't like short names that are installed locally and on the other you seem to not like the full url noting where to retrieve the library.

> We have no known way of increasing birth rate

A blatant generalization, in the face that it wasn't much of a priority for now. Or is there any proof that it was much of a priority, for example in terms of media influence, % of budget, etc?

DelightOne··on Ask HN: Anyone else getting a 500 on their Google Calendars?

Is there a timetable when Apple plans to stop using memory-unsafe languages to avoid memory-bugs? If not, how can the amount of zero-days stop with constant development?
DelightOne··on Gitlab servers are being exploited in DDoS attacks
How much effort is it for a company like Gitlab to add kill switches to certain features and to trigger them incase they are exploited in the wild? Has to be pretty fine-grained though to disable analysis or upload on certain files, right?

What are alternatives to automatic immediate updates and kill switches besides not exposing the service to the internet?

DelightOne··on Covid-19 Mortality Risk Correlates Inversely with Vitamin D3 Status
How much sun does that block? Workarounds may be feasible, depending on the mechanism.
DelightOne··on Covid-19 Mortality Risk Correlates Inversely with Vitamin D3 Status
The Apple Watch (or any other smart watch) should have a built-in sun measuring sensor, noting when people have not enough sun exposure to produce the necessary amount of Vitamin D to be healthy. Once AR is there, they could make a game out of it, showing progress bars at the peripery of the eyes. This could make reaching the targets much easier for a lot more people.
DelightOne··on My indoor rowing tips after 15M meters
Did you have issues with the water being too weak a resistance on the back-pull? I'm reluctant to go over 40-50% to still be able to stow it away vertically.
DelightOne··on How to Safely Think in Systems
That's exactly what I meant. For standardization, does Kubernetes help in that regard? For example when using network rules to whitelist what component is allowed to communicate with what service? I imagine extracting the current rules and building a graph makes discovery easier. No tolerance/limits/throughput or availability data is included though. The approach is also limited to the cluster level, excluding out-of-cluster communication, while having everything in the cluster may not be that secure.

How are all connections usually tracked, if they are?
DelightOne··on MIT 18.404J – Theory of Computation [video]
Thanks for the recommendation and sharing! I appreciate lecturers and students sharing their knowledge wider, despite the difficulties involved. I hope that one day people won't have to search anymore, but easily being able to find cool resources like this.
DelightOne··on MIT 18.404J – Theory of Computation [video]
Agreed.

Do you know how is decided what courses are uploaded? Some courses like 6.046 only have recordings from 2015, but the field and the teaching probably advanced since then.
