You shouldn’t expect EVERY stock to have positive returns. Unless the bad stocks to which you're referring become a considerable part of the market, you should still expect stocks, on average, to earn you real interest.
Okay now it just seems like you are arguing for the sake of argument. I know you know that the land of milk and honey has copious areas rich in greenery and water. Yet you act like it’s equivalent to the deserts of Saudi Arabia?

And also, while I’m here, we don’t define “historical Palestine” by some maps. We can define it very clearly by a

Jews were native to the Middle East! Nobody is disputing that. What people are disputing is your claim that a Morrocan, born and raised in Morocco to parents born and raised in Morocco has the right to displace some Palestinian villagers just because he thinks his ancient homeland is from the time of after Joseph and Moses because of his ancestors.

By the way, for your information, my friends tell me that in their neighborhood they had a “harat al sumarah” which is translated neighborhood of the simarians. These people never accepted Israel and refused to move. My friends also tell me the IDF hate them because they both resist the occupation and are considered anciently Jewish so the IDF is not allowed to kill them. That is just what I hear from them, but I bring it up so you know that there are some people of ancient Jewish lineage who are still living in Palestine alongside Palestinians.
We must be living in two different Polands. Me and many acquaintances of mine don't even have GP doctor assigned from public health insurance, that's how hopeless is dealing with them. Nowadays the waiting times are as hopeless as always plus there are exclusively phone consultations. The doctor calls whenever they please and the appointment is void if noone answers.

Perhaps your father is a politician, or high ranking person in public administration or public services? I cannot imagine how otherwise one could be satisfied from the healthcare services.
This is wicked - well done.

Honestly, recruitment companies would probably pay for this list.
I am talking of Poland, I'm Polish myself. My father has been treated at oncological hospitals in few different places and the experience has been very good.
Okay I quite like this approach (assuming I understood it correctly).

Instead of a teacher whose job is primarily to educate, having to juggle the job of the emotional development of students that they will always see as a secondary task, there's a professional who is trained for that role who works directly for the school.
When the government hands out cash to the poor, it's a "handout" that creates a "culture of dependency." When the government hands out cash to the banks, it's a "bail-out" that creates a "sound financial system." Right.
If this were on the New York Times editorial page, I'd agree with you, but I can't believe you're surprised that Glenn Greenwald is angry at another media outlet. He is angry about the same thing every week.
Why do people keep treating depression as a medical condition? You are depressed because your life sucks. Fix it or accept it. <eom>
Keep reading Greenwald, he's been superb on this issue and agrees with you.
If you think it's worth $50/y, you could price it there, and then offer a $5/m package as well. If the $50/y scares them off and they go with the $5/m package, then you're making an extra $10/y off them. If it doesn't scare them off, then you're making your $50/y.

I would hesitate to pay $50/y, but not so much $5/m.
This article makes no claims, offers no evidence, and says nothing.

Joel Spolsky wrote about this exact subject (with graphs, etc. as requested). very worthwhile read: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/CamelsandRubberDuckie...
Thank goodness someone is cleaning up C++ while still maintaining a goal of high performance!

Elements of the language that are there entirely due to historical reasons should be gotten rid of. Since Clay has keywords "Int64" and "Float64", "Long" and "Double" should be gotten rid of since they are basically misnomers (being shorthands for "long int" and double-precision respectively but that not being implicit in the names).
I've been a freelance designer for over 7 years. This is something that I struggled a lot with for the first few years and still do, sometimes.

These are my bigger epiphanies:

* Started asking myself "Why do I get so attached?" I started to see that I wasn't really all that confident in my abilities. I produced good work, but I wasn't skillful with working with clients and their problems, which is a very important aspect of being a freelancer.

* As I became more skillful in my craft and maintaining relationships, my attitude shifted and I started building confidence in myself when it came to solving problems. I started being objective about the problems I was solving.

* My creative process has been important, too. I figured out the more I focused on objectives, problems and pain, the more the client (and me) got behind my solutions. My solutions started to mean something because I could tie every decision to a pain point.

* All I can do educate and advocate the best solutions. Ultimately, it is up to the client to decide what he wants to do.

* Often times, people hadn't worked with a skilled consultant before. So, they didn't understand the complexities of the solutions I provided. This means they'll start requesting, what I often interpreted as, random shit. These requests, I learned, are mostly surface symptoms of deeper issues--dig down and figure out what the real problem is.

I guess bottom line: Trust in yourself and your skill. Remain objective. Educate and advocate the best solutions to the client. Know you gave it 100%.
It says in the actual C&D itself, 'a number of other websites that refer to this product use the wording "The Other White Meat" in connection with the product' which would be the "infringing" phrase (from Facebook and TheFrisky).

Now, those links and link text weren't on Thinkgeeks's site, but that fact only serves to make this look even more hastily done and less well-thought-out.
You don't need to ship a shared library in order to compile an executable that dynamically links to said shared library. You just need the header files listing the shared library's exported symbols. You can treat Cocoa like any other closed-source blob of a vendor library.
Why is a booting XNU helpful for me to build macOS or iOS applications on?
Details printed on the card aren't enough to reconstruct the contents of the magstripe needed to do card-present transactions (and those are preferred as online transactions are subject to extra checks like 3D Secure and address verification).

If you only want card details for online/card-not-present transactions then getting them via malware is easier and even less risk of getting caught.
I only made it a year. It was incredibly boring. I was the same way, enjoying side projects at home so I knew I wasn't over programming. I realized that I was not engaged with the work and prioritized that in my next (current) role. Now I'm doing hard technical work in my domain for a small shop. I'm working 50% time so I have tons of time off. The pay is less than FAANG but I'm not dreading my life everyday. I'm also trialing another company in the other 50% of my working time, helping them solve some technical challenges.

It sounds like you're at a much higher level than me, but my biggest advice is to decide what is important to you and prioritize that. You are in a position to do whatever you want, so just decide what you want to do and go after it.
I would also like to add to your point that there's a delusion that tech can moderate a couple billion people.

In the past, we distributed the moderation but now it seems everything, including moderation, needs to be done by a single entity. There are attempts to automate things but they aren't working.
Win32 narrow API calls support UTF-8 natively now.

Maybe on the hardware side, but I don't know if the same can be said for their content. Having tried many, I don't know if anyone but Apple has even come close to providing the same kind of consistent value for general fitness instruction.
Yottaanswers came about as an effort to build a scalable AI vector search engine capable of billions of direct answers to questions, with no ads nor tracking.

The question of how many direct answers Google is currently capable of (e.g. 'how high is mount everest') is of particular interest as that number IMO is not nearly as high as many think. My (professional) estimate is 10-30 billion. To be clear, by direct answers I mean distinct infoboxes with clearly distinguished direct answers as opposed to blue links with snippets matching keywords from the query. I certainly invite all feedback on this question and the number above as Google keeps it as a closely guarded secret.

Yottaanswers is in that respect very large, containing billions of vectors and continuing to grow. Considering the power law of distribution of questions and answers, Yottaanswers already has a significant chunk of the fat head of the distribution (about 15% of the questions generating 85% of the answers).

Of course, a key goal has always been to demonstrate that building such a system with no tracking nor ads is very much possible with resources (many) orders of magnitude fewer than Google.
Always use PDO prepared statements to avoid SQL injections?

Sanitize your data and use whatever driver you want. Prepare statements are like sending xml instead of json. If you are populating a database with known data why add the overhead?

Change freezes have more uses than the OP has highlighted.

We've just had Christmas and Boxing Day. There may be less support staff available on those days, and the devs may be on holiday.

By having a change freeze beforehand, the set of things that have changed is reduced, so any issue that arises will be easier to diagnose.

Less changes allows a firm to justify the lower support overhead... not eliminate it
Cluster then in a single, easily avoided neighborhood. Its one thing to ask productive people to give up their income to support the unproductive - its another to ask them to be victims of violence.

> This is why you have to specify exactly what you mean by the big-O notation you specify.

He did specify it, it's O(log N) arithmetic operations.

Note: I don't mean "assuming arithmetic operations take constant time, we can compute F(n) in O(log N) time", in which case you can correctly say that, since arithmetic operations don't take constant time in arbitrary precision arithmetic, we must be using fixed precision (or something essentially equivalent), in which case a lookup table takes O(1) time and O(precision) space. I mean "F(n) can be computed with O(log N) arithmetic operations". If I perform my arithmetic operations over arbitrary precision integers, and I implement simple arithmetic operations (so each arithmetic operation takes O((log n)^2) time), then F(n) takes O((log n)^3) time.
> Eventually, he thinks that Android quality, consistency, and user satisfaction will match iOS.

Oh, I'm not so sure about that. The biggest problem Android app developers have now is the wicked fragmentation on the platform, and that's only going to go UP as more handhelds come out.

When you target iOS, you know the capabilities of pretty much every generation are pretty similar going in, and that's all you have to worry about. With Android, you have to ask - Does this model even HAVE a keyboard?

EDIT: Okay, because I'm being modded down into hell, then why doesn't Android have Netflix? Oh that's right, device fragmentation:

http://www.zdnet.com/blog/google/netflix-on-your-android-dev...

Netflix is on your computer, your Xbox 360, your Wii, your PS3, and on your iPhone, but NOT on Android and the Netflix devs themselves say "fragmentation" is the issue.

Sure, the keyboard was a silly example, but it's not like it's not a problem.
> But I'm not sure how much sense it makes for a child that doesn't face this environment or is more practically minded.

Is there such a thing as an unimaginative child (or a practical one, for that matter)? As a child I seem to recall that all my friends and classmates were imaginative and creative, and my child and his friends are just the same in that way. Lego is universally popular, as is playing "pretend", and so on.

Obviously these traits are present in children to different degrees, but I think the point of this book is to emphasize that the lack of imagination and creativity in adults and its replacement by banality and commercialism is the product of socialization and choice.

> Imagine the story was written in the same manner, but in praise of physical coordination/agility instead

We'd probably be offended if, in that case, the uncoordinated people were drawn as obese (although the same effect could be achieved by simply displaying them as immobile). What's interesting, though, is that the book actually could be written that way. Children are far more active than adults and, because physical coordination and agility can be improved through practice, are often faster and more nimble than adults (I'm speaking anecdotally here, but if you visit a playground and watch a kid evade their parent and the point is made.)

Just as imagination and creativity are often lost or suppressed on the journey to adulthood, many people also shed their love of physical activity, with unfortunate results.

Perhaps the point, ultimately, is that there's lots we can learn from children, and much that is in them innately that we can help nourish.
Legal action? What the fuck. They should embrace such people that are essentially fans AND evangelists and not threaten them, just because they haven't been able to ship a white iPhone.

Somebody tell me a good reason why this behavior would be justified.
No, I work at my 9-5 job all day. I usually peruse HN over breakfast or dinner. After dinner, and on weekends, I work on coding a little application of my own.

I find that it helps to read HN to keep me motivated. I doubt I'll ever make much money off of the applications I create. But it's encouraging to read about people who do.
I do. But I've come to accept it like that, for me it's not that terrible anymore. After all, I am not "in the game", really, even if it would be nice. It's a shame you cannot get the entrepreneurial gene after being born. But it's nice to be able to watch things unfold from a close distance.
These new instruction sets look like a serious luxury, don't they?

Um, why would you have to precisely stagger?

I suspect that you have enough information to actually align the videos after the fact.

10 videos at 250FPS would probably distribute sufficiently.
Sorta. It's not that easy in practice (although not terribly, hard since you can package up your python project with setuptools and then deploy it to an internal (or actual) PyPI followed up by using distribution packages for a wsgi server like gunicorn, mod_wsgi, etc). In reality, you typically care about third-party modules enough and building rpms/debs is typically not fun enough that you just have the normal pip/virtualenv story.

There is a solution from Twitter that my devops team has been flirting with called PEX[1]. It builds all of your dependencies into a zip file similar to a jar and sets it up to work by just putting it on your pythonpath. This would in practice be very similar to an uberjar.

As I read in the article ... it looks like now we are speaking about real encryption and anonymity ... :)
Absolutely, React is in the wrong here and its methodology is a clear and direct violation of the "separation of concerns" principle.

First, they came for the HTML markup and said "come on guys, JSX is just some XML on steroids. You should not worry at all" and we didn't speak up.

Then they came for CSS and said "come on guys, they're just small components and the same as placing the CSS declarations via the style attribute anyway blah blah blah" and we didn't speak up.

So you don't really know what's gonna be their next victim. There's a lot of revisionism and reinterpretation of best practices going on in the industry and hipsters and fanbois seem to go chasing the latest shiny and trendy object out there.

Nothing we can do to help save these people!

But seriously guys, have you seen any React dev code with all those CSS declarations and HTML markup over each other?

I pity the ones who will be assigned maintain this spaghetti code.
It's probably worth nothing that these prices were part of a private beta, may or may not actually be the final prices.

I'm very excited about Rust finding its way into more and more projects. I started learning a couple of weeks ago: It feels (compared to C++) learnable, simple, it's fast, it's got a familiar package registry. It's good for embedded, web, WASM, some quick scripts, CLIs. My background is mostly JavaScript, Dart, Java, but now I'm excited to try out something lower level, only thing is that I need to find a way to transition into a good Rust project.

I am currently working with Flutter and Dart,
I think a lot of people who enjoy remote are going to have a rude wake-up when offices go hybrid. Before Covid, half my meetings weren't scheduled. They just happened in a hallway. If I could grab a third person who I thought might have an opinion, we'd walk over to their office. But I'm not going to go find a Zoom setup unless I have to have their opinion. Which means we'll make the decision without them. Not out of malice, but because they're not there.
Looks like the COBOL I saw when working at a bank, years ago. And it wasn't the output of any automated translation.

COBOL is simply horrible. Avoid it if you can.
Nice link to the GitHub issue which explains the problems clearly.

Can anyone explain why something like this wasn't implemented in the first place via DNS TXT records or tied to SSL somehow?

Its not proper infinite scroll, they aren't removing DOM nodes as you scroll down. But it's rare that any infinite grid can really handle 10m items because they tend to use `top` or an overall height, so the browser would probably choke.

The article seems to be "Java the programming language" oriented. I guess PG is right when it comes to that. However, "Java the platform" is as rock solid as it has ever been which is good since "Java the programming language" doesn't really matter anyway.
I found that to be true with school. 5% effort usually gets you a B, while the closer you wanted to get to "perfection" (100%/A+), exponentially more effort is required.
Good for Aza. I've been following his work over the past few years and he really seems to be an insanely smart guy with great intuition (his wikipedia article does a pretty good job of supporting this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aza_Raskin). I look forward to see what Massive Health brings to the world. If it's half as good as Aza's design sensibilities, we're in for a real treat.
"We’re not very good at predicting customer growth or device engagement."

But they are good enough to admit that, and plan accordingly. Hat off.
The interesting question is how and when mail providers such as Gmail accept warrants issued by other countries. From some articles I've read in the past it seems that such warrants are accepted by Google - which does also make sense, as Google needs to adhere to local laws (at least if they have offices in a given country).

But when do Google or other mail providers comply to such a requests? Each time a warrant is issued by any (more or less) democratic country (also if I have no relation to the country issuing the warrant)? Only if I've chosen the given country as my home country during registration? If I've used an IP address of a given country in the past?

This question is especially important, as the standards for warrants between countries differ. For some countries (such as Germany) it seems to be sufficient to be suspected for illegal filesharing in order for a court to issue a warrant for a "house search".
Seems like a perfect fit for a utorrent-style scheduler.
I'm just guessing but couldn't "dumb as hell" be a reference to this:

"Love that smart people are starting to tackle health problems"

Smart people have been working on health problems for several centuries. Severutus worked out the circulatory system in the 1500s, Lister and Pasteur contributed to the germ theory of illness in the 1800s. Sir Alexander Fleming developed the basic idea of penicillin in the 1920s. Smart people have been working on health issues for a very long time.
