You came up with a strong punishment just to support your argument.

The punishment could be a warning as well unless it is repeated offender.

The punishment could be fining a parent.

Instead of coming up with a better solution like this, we let teachers handle it.

This is why bullying is not often resolved. This is why school has the strange zero tolerance policy. They don't even care about justice. They just want the problem to go away.
It was buggy. It was slow. It didn't even try to support developing libraries.

Well, they needed to fix a serious issue they created in the first place. Wait till they fix the issues with this too :)
Why? These people were always out there, it's better to take them out in the open and see what's there.
And then they will need to buy private liability insurance, and bad cops will get their rates hiked until they can't afford to keep being cops, instead of just getting transferred to a new district to offend again.

Selfish? At least as long as Elon Musk is the CEO of the company, the main goal of Tesla is to transition transport to away from non-renewable resources. He was also explicitly asked that question by an actual shareholder in a shareholder conference, and the answer was something on that line.
We actually started building such a product for India where the problem complexity is much smaller (only about 20 prominent airports, majority travel by train where prices are static, only availability varies with time).

Availability of data APIs turned out to be a big hurdle for a bootstrapped startup. The market is still up for grabs. Here is another attempt by an Indian startup:

Russia hasn't been communist in that sense for decades. There are plenty of professions there that have become exceedingly wealthy in that time, but doctors have not. So to make your case, you'd need to demonstrate 1) that specific ongoing regulatory burdens in Russia have served to suppress physician pay, and 2) that the persistence of those particular burdens in Russia's era of deregulation is not linked to gender bias.

Your "seems pretty obvious to me" is <em>only</em> valid if you assume a priori that there are no distortions to the pure, free market outcome due to irrationality on the part of market participants. Systematic gender bias would be a clear example of irrationality (which I assume you'd agree with even if you didn't believe it were actually at work here). You may not mean it this way, but your phrasing sounds to me like you're assuming your conclusion.

One way to explain things is to say that teams like Agile whether it's effective or not (for some definition of effective). Another way to explain this is to say that Agile can't make you succeed, but it's the fastest and cheapest way to fail.

When I'm selling snake-oil, I prefer the latter explanation.

It's not necessarily hypocritical to say that it's okay to grow opium in Afghanistan where it's legal but stop people from importing it into the US or UK.
Seriously.

Think about this:

Let's say we gave the government permission to keep EXACTLY ONE secret. They could change their mind about what that one thing is at anytime. In order for them to choose a new secret, all things must be kept secret by default (otherwise, the Streisand Effect holds). A grace period must be allowed for the government to review the new things before deciding whether they want to publish that new information or change their choice of one secret, publishing the old secret.

Since everything is secret by default, they could just not tell us about the new information. They could cheat to keep TWO secrets. If one secret leaked, they could easily say "Oh well, that was our one secret! Damn." and we'd have no way to prove that they weren't keeping another secret.

The only way to prevent bad secrets is to disallow all secrets. We must systematically uncover sources of secrets and shine a spotlight on them. In the event that a secret is uncovered, there must be immediate and stern repercussions.
Aren't 2 and 3 fairly basic and obvious?
FTA: "Having worked inside the U.S. intelligence community, ..."

Drew knows perfectly well that if he even touches this data with a 10-foot pole, he'll be persona non grata in the intelligence community. So my cynical view is that his decision to not analyze this data has more to do with future employment prospects than with the methods of WikiLeaks or the contents of the data...
It was developed by a team of five researchers:

People don't get pissed when income from a shared resource (petroleum for instance) is divided among people living on the land or in the country. People get pissed when the taxes they pay (for improving infrastructure and governance) is directed towards subsidizing the living of others (even though in the long run, it might be in many ways beneficial as a society). In many ways it is natural for them to be unhappy about this. I think, there needs to be more education on the benefits (as a social net, they themselves may be the beneficiaries) that alleviates people's fears on such UBI plans and shows the overall societal benefits. Also more longer-term experiments to confirm if it really helps.

If society makes progress and does move to a model where machines are doing most of the work, and there is more free time for people and most people don't need to do any work for their living or will not be able to find work for their living, we will definitely need to look at this model or any other alternate model that may come about as a result of natural experiences with such progress.

this is good, then cringed when I saw the diagram about DRM that had M$, for msft. i guess the other companies aren't about making money at all costs?
No. It is the simplest that they could think up at the time. Much simpler ones have been invented since.

Conway's game of Life is simpler, and universal. People have invented probably hundreds simpler than it. TM gets pride of place as the first, and for no other reason.
Regarding more than one mentions of UUOC in this thread:

- The original award started in 1995. Even though pentium was already out, I think it is safe to say that was the era of 486 PCs. In 2019, for day-to-day shell work (meaning no GBs of file-processing or anything like that), isn't invoking UUOC and pointing out inefficiencies an example of premature optimization [1]?

- Isn't readability a matter of subjectivity, and that for some folks 'cat file' is more readable than '<file' or a direct use of a processing command (like grep, tail, head, etc) [2] ? (The whole stackoverflow page is fairly illuminating [3]).

I cant wait to see that 'feature' on WP7 too. Just imagine good old paperclip poping up on your phone:

On one hand, it's great that academia is finally starting to teach what people in the industry lament as a lack of engineering education in their new grads.

Then again, like what others have said here, you're probably better off doing the traditional CS education for now. As much as SE in school may teach you, having an industry job where you'll learn from system architects, QA teams and project managers is probably a better education anyway. Think of the CS material as more future proofing - if you ever decide to try to get a job at a place that values computer science (think Google), having CS will let you be on par with all the other candidates (seriously, I've seen some interviewers downgrade a candidate because they didn't have a CS background).
Modern Perl, have a look at:

How does the second part follow from the first? What is the 'security risk'?
I actually read it as a argument FOR types and against modern languages choice to make the String class a weak proxy for typeless byte arrays. See all the arguments (in this HN comments no less!) for just using utf8 byte arrays as strings.

Hes saying semantically there's no difference between arrays and string classes except that with string classes we let you do all kinds of dangerous byte manipulation that we would never dream of with any other type. Moreover, most of the uses for this dangerous access aren't real usages because if you're manipulating strings you're almost certainly actually manipulating code points. So why wouldn't you just use a code point array and give yourself real type safety instead?
My driver experience has been overwhelmingly positive, but I do tend to run older (cheaper) chipsets.

On my work computer with a Ryzen 7 "Renoir" GPU the problem was not the drivers but the fact that the latest Ubuntu LTS ships with an older kernel, so having to run latest mainline.

I have a feeling this sort of situation will become more and more problematic, especially when new architectures are released. Somewhere the Linux community may have to step up for more easily having recent kernels.
The product database behind Digikey is much larger but the metadata of lower quality than McMaster. It means that filtering can be very frustrating if the parameter you’re filtering on has entries for, say,

1 in
1.0”
25.4mm
1”
1lpi

Another example: If you’re buying something like a cable, they have a parameter for “end 1” and “end 2” with each product making an arbitrary choice about which end is which.

I guess my point is that the taxonomy and cleanliness of the product database is just as important as the front-end UI
I go to your page, cannot find a video of what it is immediately and then left. I think a lot of people like a video to show them what to expect with most startups these days!

Why would you want a remote on an air filter? You want it on 24x7 because you never know when something will happen that means the air needs cleaning. If you need a heater, buy a heater, don't try to mix the heater with the air purifier as they have different needs. Pivot might be useful, but only for mixing the air - if you want to feel the air, then you want a fan not an air filter.
I actually thought this was about that at first, so you're right in at least one data point.
I wouldn't worry so much. RSA is based on the integer factorization problem . Hypothetically if you figured out any pattern in the distribution of prime numbers it would help in the factorization but there has been about hundreds of years of research in this direction and it is a extremely hard problem. Even if this was solved we could always move to ECC encryption like curve22519

Yes via Ajax, supposedly no via html form method.

You could build an Ajax button easily. You couldn't build a basic submit button to do it (supposedly--on my phone so no cross browser testing).

Your point is taken that browsers don't really speak HTTP. There are plenty of clients that do, generally for programmers working with APIs. These are at issue.
I found this explanation of monads more lucid than most, and it is true that the examples and analogies are usually more confusing than helpful.

But what I still don't understand is how monads force sequencing more so than regular function calls and expression evaluation. The very first example is about sequencing but there doesn't seem to be much explanation of how monads are usueful for inducing sequencing in a lazy pure functional context.
I was thinking "27 years, jeez!" and then I realized I started with Basic when I was 10. I'm 36 now.

I posted it because it has an amazing story about how a videogame that I used to play when I was a kid was made. Elite was an absolute knock-out compared to whatever else was available in the day, the closest I can compare it to in terms of moving forward was the arrival of 'Doom'. Taking it apart was even more interesting than playing it, especially how they obfuscated their code.

As far as I know, the Galaxy Player isn't even on the market yet [1]. However, it does very much look like an older generation iPod touch. It even has the same color scheme and metal rim.

iPod touch: http://media.obsessable.com/media/2008/09/12/575/apple-ipod-...

Galaxy Player: http://www.samsunghub.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/galaxy-...

But no, I don't think the release of the Galaxy Player has much to with it. I'm willing to bet Apple would've sued Samsung anyway, as Apple has been hunting Android handset makers since early last year.

The good point I think the article makes before generalizing about smart people's qualities is the fact that in many cases, such as argument, there are people who will toss some concepts, jargon or ideas without fully understanding them and because of that can look to an outsider (maybe your boss) like they won the argument.

Of course, if the other person in the conversation is really into that concept, jargon or idea he can quickly point out its flaws. But what is most likely to happen is for the other guy to have to make some effort to remember what that concept was and having to put the pieces together. When he can actually identify what was wrong in the argument, the battle will be long gone and lost.

Meanwhile the other guy may have made his opinion prevail and gain something because of it.
By real datasets you mean company-specific ones? Or do you happen to have some examples that are openly available which helped you a lot?

I definitely concur with your first point, since I made the same experience, specifically when working with company-specific datasets.

From my experience one also underestimates how much time cleaning up the data takes; there are quite a few steps you need to go through before you can really start to analyze a dataset.

What about copy-elision 'optimisations' in C++, which can result in changes to observable behaviour?
For Apple to know about API access the app would still have to submitted to them in some manner.

It's not clear to me that the person I replied to was talking about language semantics. The phrasing of that comment would have taken the form "may not" or "can't assume", but instead asserted that you can write some code that's guaranteed to run differently, which is implementation semantics.
I wish language learning platforms would include more than the same handful languages. There may not be as many people who want to learn them, but there are also almost no resources online for some.
“Accounting” and “personal finance” and “spreadsheets” are three very different things that seem to have been used as if they were interchangeable in the subthread beginning with dave_sid’s hypothetical about an accountant asking about making spreadsheets more fun for kids.
The Jetbrains IDEs all have a database explorer built in. Which is handy for (local) databases related to your project.

If you write SQL directly in your app it'll even highlight and autosuggest according to your actual database.
> If there is a scammer like an inventor who is doing a scheme similar to Theranos. They will have influence, and the wealth to back a BitClout currency, and once the scheme is busted the values will become zero.

You'll need to argue that busting the scam actually reduces their influence. Anna Sorokin got a 300k deal with Netflix right after getting out of prison. If she writes a book I'm sure there are some people that would be willing to buy it. Has the scam really destroyed her influence?

The OP also does not go on to make a case for WHY they think this is a scam. A sales person not answering your question does not make the company scammy.
Never handed over my number when I could avoid it. I'm very suspicious about it for some reason
> the chance to become infected per contact are just 1/5000 with 100 contacts

This sounds like gamblers fallacy to me. The number of trials doesn’t change the probability of individual trials in this case because each trial is statistically independent, I saw no mention of e.g. accumulating viral load via successive surface contacts.

From the article, emphasis mine:

> each contact with a contaminated surface has less than a 1 in 10,000 chance of causing an infection
I agree very misleading.

What is it with HN recently and all this childish Apple bashing ? If I want Apple bashing, I'll head on over to The Register where its a well known fact they hold a long-term grudge against Apple because of some decade's old fight they picked with Apple's PR department.

Back to the case in point, this HN post is disgustingly misleading.

What the Apple support article is actually saying is that if you have :
(1) A spare mac with Apple Configurator 2 installed
(2) A USB-C/USB-C cable or USB-C/USB-A cable

Then you can do the repair yourself.

This is not exactly a significant obstacle !

(1) Apple Configurator is a FREE download from the App Store
(2) You can run Apple Configurator on any Apple machine, you DO NOT NEED another Mac Pro!
(3) Any self-respecting tech will already have USB cables by the dozen

Yes, you need "another mac", but let's face it, if you use a Mac Pro at work or at home, then you most likely have "another mac" of some description around the place. And if you don't, you probably have one or more friends who have one !
The whitepaper claims that BitClout is a distributed database and anybody can run a node, but there's no public software that lets someone do that.
Not yet. It's supposed to be minimal, so I doubt it'll ever support mouse, drap & drop and other GUI features. Although, the preview is in list as a potential plugin.

While having the discussion could definitely be unpleasant and cause problems depending on how it goes, "having to spend time to push back that could be spent thinking about the problem" is a bit much. Half an hour isn't going to affect the deadline. The odds of "making a better idea later" aren't going to change significantly, either.
We asked Hitwise to run similar data for the US market. The numbers show a marked increase in social media traffic to Apple.com and a drop in search traffic on November 16th, but not enough for the former to surpass the latter.

Looking at the chart, I don't see it. Looks like it's within the normal noise to me. The second chart shows facebook going from 0.04% to 0.08% traffic. Not exactly something to write home about.

So why does hitwise's data show such different numbers for US and UK data?
Except in this analogy, the Pepsi store would gladly sell Coke products. Let's drop the analogies and call it like it is. This is a company being overly protective of their store. It may be within their rights, but I don't think we should be defending a company for not allowing software on its product cause the app dares to focus on a competitor.
