Locally and classically, yes. But quantum effects demonstrably break locality. Call it quantum woo if you want, but the reality is that we perceive the world top-down and know incredibly little of how our universe actually functions from the bottom up.

Coming from a Catholic background, we'd call the blind belief that a piece of text is the accurate and perfect word of God delusion, not faith. Free will, which is also to our understanding a divine gift, is what allows us to differentiate between what's worthy of faith and what's not. Its separating the wheat from the chaff, as it were. Hence the need for scholarship.

The idea that a text has to be perfectly passed down from God to justify faith and that reciprocally faith dictates that you cannot allow yourself to believe that it isn't is alien to Nicean Christianity.
Literate programming seems to becoming popular in the R community due to KnitR and Rmarkdown. This seems to have sparked a few similar-working tools with possibly broader scope and adoption. In my bookmarks I find:

- knot [1]: tangles source code from a text file formatted using plain markdown syntax, can use any markdown converter for weaving into a printable document

- snarl [2]: extends markdown code blocks with syntax used for tangling, its "weave" steps just removes the additional syntax and outputs plain markdown

- pylit [3] [4]: a bidirectional converter: code to formatted text and back. Uses reST for formatting, and preserves line numbers which is useful when debugging. Not an LP tool strictly, as it doesn't define/rearrange code blocks so you have to write your script in the order the compiler wants it, not in the order that would make the best exposition.

Both seem to preserve relative indentation of chunks, so would be useful for Python too.

I shouldn't have even included the "top 1%". That's an unfortunate flash point for veering any policy discussions off the rails.

>Do you have examples? This is harder to do than it would seem.

Examples of cross platform code? There are millions.

>You would need an on demand environment setup (a virtualenv and a lockfile?) or a homogeneous environment and some sort of RPC mechanism (transmit a jar and execute). I expect either to be possible, though I expect the required verbosity and rigor to impede significant adoption.

Why need it be verbose? A high level rewuorements, a lock file and one or two code files ought to be sufficient for most purposes.
Interesting that here is yet another site that depends on IMDB in an essential way. I wonder what happens to that whole ecosystem if the database becomes more limited in how it can be accessed, or if it stops being updated and maintained in the same way.
No, because the _actual reality_ is that reducing inequality makes the rich, slightly less so, and the poor significantly safer and healthier.

If you tell people you want to reduce inequality we tend to correctly assume the intent is to make the poor better off, we're not AI searching for the most absolutely effective solution to reduce inequality to 0 by killing everyone or something.
I actually really like the content of the article, but I'm not convinced superstition is the right word here. Yes, absolutely I have copied an init script / makefile or whatnot and if it worked after I tweaked it then I went on my business. But I didn't use it as is because of superstition, but rather because it now worked I believed it correct.

Yes, quite often that came without a perfect knowledge of every single option, certainly usually without referring to the manual for every one of them.

Perhaps this is semantics. But the definition of superstition is:

a widely held but unjustified belief in supernatural causation leading to certain consequences of an action or event, or a practice based on such a belief

Which ya, isn't quite the right thing. Anyways, agree with the sentiment of this 100%, just not the title. :)
Loss of revenue per rented movie. Depends on the degree of saturation of the market whether it's true loss of revenue. The video streaming market in Europe has barely been touched; iTunes movie rentals only recently opened up to more regions, and at €3-4 per movie it's very expensive compared to DVD rental.
I did not get it, what was the point of this article? May be to keep up the Groupon speculation but do it so that nobody notices.

I agree assets with fixed inflation, be them cryptocurrencies or precious metals, make poor currencies, but some cryptocurrency projects are actually working on algorithmically price-stable currencies (ie. a cryptocurrency with a dynamic supply, not pegged to another fiat currency).

When/if the supply problem is solved, and a more environnementally friendly consensus mechanism than PoW developed, there won't be many arguments against adopting cryptocurrencies as the default payment method.

The behavior that Cosmopolitan needs is required by POSIX because UNIX Sixth Edition didn't have shebang lines. It's normally an implementation detail of execve() in C libraries and the behavior is implemented by nearly all shells too. So far the only issue has been that some shells, like zsh, have a binary safety check where it refuses to run scripts that have embedded NUL characters. I worked with the FreeBSD team to get POSIX revised to clarify the correct behavior w.r.t. these restrictions. FreeBSD's /bin/sh has already been patched and zsh is pending upstream. https://github.com/jart/zsh/commit/94a4bc14bb2e415ec3d10cf71...

Cultural appropriation refers to the use of objects or elements of a non-dominant culture in a way that doesn't respect their original meaning, give credit to their source, or reinforces stereotypes or contributes to oppression. - Google

The problem here is not invention. The problem here is that aliabramovitz and company "like to stay away from those [theological] aspects as it can be off putting for people who don't subscribe to a certain philosophy or theology", in a subject matter where the original theology is a core part of it, and that too a theology that is not aliabramovitz's own theology in order to cater to people who dislike the theology of the original owners of the practice.

So no, white people stealing other peoples practices and bastardizing them !== Invention necessary for the world to progress.

It is simply stealing and removing the original in order to cater to Abrahamics and to make money.
If by "predictable" all that's meant is "you can deterministically recreate every output bit generated by the function, forever, using a single value that represents the starting state of the function", then you can certainly have that and a secure RNG function.

This isn't a solution you can implement yourself since it sounds like you're in a position of power over the employee and it would be harassment. But having a culture where leaving computers unlocked and unattended is an open invitation to getting embarrassing YouTube videos opened on full screen by your peers works wonders for getting people to lock their computers.

I wish I had an answer for the second part; it's hard to see someone with talent be the one to get laid off after months of asking them to be more diligent in their work.
There is no way an aircraft seat that can rotate would get airline approval for economy class, and then you'd still have the problem of getting a seat not facing forward certified. Usually the only people in rearward facing seats are airline personnel so they can see the cabin and spot issues with the passengers.

Active investing is a negative sum game. Even if your broker is not directly charging you comms, they exist. So, the average trade is a loss.

However, I don't even think that is the main insight here. No single trade is really profitable. There is one conceptual entity, your portfolio. There is a benchmark (An index representing your investing universe).

As a straw man: Making 20% on every trade when you always have half your portfolio in cash feels good but is not a useful perspective.

Don't focus on the micro, analyse overall performance dispassionately vs an equivalent level of risk and discover whether you actually have an edge.

Good luck!

I think after such data leak, it should be possible to ask company who enabled the leak, to put the matters as they were before the leak - that is buying you a new phone number, setting up a new name, new address and whatever else that was leaked. The new address should be in comparable standard to the old one.

Mys statement was not a value judgement, it was statement of what actually happened.

Twitch has suspended her several times for what it viewed as rule-breaking. Twitch modified its rules several times, and she kept breaking the less restrictive rules, until Twitch finally created the NSFW category.

If you have an issue with this, take it up with Twitch for having unnecessarily restrict rules.
The boundary between ASD and BAP isn't always clear even to experienced clinicians. Someone who isn't an experienced clinician, their judgement of which side of that line a person lies on is much more likely to be wrong. That's true even when the person in question is their own self. Given that, how much weight should we give to Stallman's opinion on the issue?

And, this isn't directed at you personally, but I think a lot of people who bring "Stallman says he doesn't have it" into the argument don't display any awareness of the concept of BAP.

I doubt very many people on HN care about broadcasting themselves to the public using things like Meerkat and Periscope either. Maybe as a consumer it could be interesting if people are showing things other than the crap they already show on Vine/Instagram (lame comedy, butt workouts, etc.).

I know Meerket recently pitched itself as a way to share interesting events (St. Patrick's Day in Dublin, The Running of the Bulls in Madrid, etc.) but what they think people are using it for and what people are using it for in reality seem pretty far apart at this point.

I had to rent a truck recently, and visited websites of three major companies. Two of them have wonderful query pages that allow you to specify the day, type of truck, and geographic area. Those queries then produce a full screen of results. However, when you pick a specific rental location, you can be told "Sorry, this location doesn't have that type of truck," or "Sorry, this location is closed on Sunday."

U-Haul's web site, by contrast, showed me what it promised to deliver-- only rental locations open on the day I requested, and only locations with the type of truck I requested.

For what it's worth, the truck was in great shape, too.
Even more interesting is this uncited explanation from Wikipedia (also mentioned in the comments): "This symbol, originating on the Apple Lisa, represented the pull-out plastic card situated under the Lisa keyboard."

> High earning New Yorkers and Californians can take home between 9% and 11% more of their income by moving to Texas

Wages in Austin are significantly less than San Francisco or Seattle and I suspect NY too. Don't kid yourselves you will be bringing home less money. Sales and property taxes are high too. But considering costs esp housing it's probably a net gain.

I wish I could recommend you not come to Austin (because influx of peoples will change what Austin is) But I can't cause Austin flippin rocks. [qualifications for judgment include; 3yrs Austin, 14yrs SF, 3yrs Seattle, many months in SoCal, Phoenix, Baltimore, Toronto, Melborne, all over Germany, Prague, Bangkok]

As a single developer and founder, I find this perspective difficult to wrap my mind around. You have a wife and several children and a job but can't find a few hundred dollars to launch your own business? And so you want to GIVE UP equity in something that has taken you a lot of time for next-to-nothing in funding?

Slap yourself right now. Hard.

Your prototype is basically done -- now you have the hard work of making it useful for other people and figuring out how to get a positive return-on-advertising. It's silly to give up any stake in your business at this point for someone willing to toss in petty cash. And it will take FAR more of your time to even try to attract the investment. And if you can't deal with this sort of small problem on your own, why should anyone trust you to give them a return on their investment anyway?
> I think for loops are better than while loops for looping over arrays. I'll try and explain my reasoning:
> Whenever you see a `for` loop, it tells you something that a `while` loop doesn't. It tells you the kind of loop you're about to do.

I won't disagree with that in theory, but I don't really think the "for" loop is the solution. The real solution, I think, is a "foreach" construct (whether it's a loop built into the language (á la Java/C#) or a higher-order function (á la C++'s std::for_each), I don't really care) for iterating over arrays and other collections.

In practice, I think the for loop is too often abused for too little gain, and I think C would be a better language without it.

As an aside, I wonder if anyone has provided a suitable Hoare triple for C's for loop. I have an idea of what it would look like, but would love to see someone else's efforts to verify my own internalized one.
This is nonsense. I enjoy HN primary for how quickly posts that add no value are down-voted into oblivion. I enjoy it because commenters are generally blunt, measured, and to the point. I could care less about swearing as long as the comment adds value.

Bottom line is, you wrote a story and you didn't like the response you received from the community. It is what it is. If the rest of the world -- not even saying 'the internet' -- was as civil and to the point as HN I'd be one happy man.
>>How horrible. If only we could get rid of that pesky market, everyone could lie about eating lotus flowers. Wait -- who is going to grow the lotus flowers for us?

Umm.. the exact same people that grew them under communism, mercantilism, feudalism and non laissez faire capitalism. "The market" is a way to allocate 'capital': money, labor, and general stuff. It's not the only possible way. Further, an attack on laissez faire capitalism is not the same thing as an calling for the abolition of capitalism as a whole.
