Yet another reminder: looting perhaps already started elsewhere in other parts of the country. Also the Rodney king riots had a precedent of looting. Learning from past lessons would be wise.

Also as you imply, why would being treated poorly by a public servant (the police) justify the looting of an unrelated private party? It doesn’t. One is not a justified cause for the other.
I clicked one of the disputed sources "1,600+ voters born 1800 and 1900 voted by mail in NC"[0] and this looks more like an error with how the age was recorded into the spreadsheet from the ballot.
E.g., there's number of outliers with the age of 267 years old. A few people aged between 240 to 255, then everyone else is 100-120 years old.

That particular list is also evenly split between dems and repubs. It also includes non-mail voters, so at a minimum the title is wrong.

It was a combination of data and guesswork, but the main factor was that for years, peak bidding periods on Saturday and Sunday nights caused server delays of several minutes and we wanted to account for that.
Dude, like I said I’ve been commenting on HN under different accounts for years. Don’t judge me by this one interaction... Keep defending the racists and sexists.

You’re also disregarding the fact that I left several non-trollish comments on that post. It’s ok to call people out.
You can still use tear gas.

If countries weren't afraid of other gasses being used in war, they'd use tear gas on the battlefield

Only in the same way that neutralizing Osama Bin Laden was capitulating to Al Qaeda.

Video and voice should simply be on the "shared storage" ("/sdcard/" - not an actual SD card) on Android.

There should also be a copy of the messages database, and I'm sure there is some open source app to decrypt it somewhere.

I'm all for opening the floodgates and abolishing copyright, even if that will hurt me personally.

Ditto. I love writing, blogging, etc. Maybe I can make money by selling my writing at some point in my life, even. But you know what, I'm willing to forfeit that possibility if it means that copyrights are no longer in existence.

An even better solution would be one that returns copyrights to their original limits (14 years, renewable for another 14), but before that happens every member of the RIAA will magically turn into a flying saucer and explode into a burst of maple syrup, I imagine.
@sorbus getting a coffee or getting bleeding edge information about my health based on my DNA...it's a no brainer.
But simple equality often does make sense in the context of collections. Am I going to throw filestreams in a collection, probably not, but I very often throw all kinds of objects in a collection and the base object.Equals very often fits my needs there perfectly.

I dunno, I haven't actually watched this presentation so maybe I just need more context. But I've been programming in C# since it came out and not once have I ever had any real issues with Equals and all of its related methods.
>PyPy is a very compliant Python interpreter, almost a drop-in replacement for CPython.

What still works in CPython but not PyPy?
> This is true. So the quantity of works will go down, hopefully the quality would go up.

Why do you think that less investment will lead to higher quality? That seems like wishful thinking to me. Lower quantity does not imply higher quality.
What I learned is that, if you're an educated individual living in a first world country, the consequences of failure are _almost always_ minor. Act accordingly.

From everything I've read and heard from teachers, the practices for monastics are extremely finely detailed specifically because it forces those who go that route to be mindful of what they are doing each and every moment.

But this is a voluntary practice and has to do with amplifying some basic foundational ideas of non-harming and mindfulness so that you can see them in minute details. Nowhere have I ever seen Buddhist teachings that imply that it should be the goal of the laypeople to take on the monastic precepts. Even throughout history the vast majority of Buddhist practitioners were bound only by the 5 lay precepts.

Again, I think that if you're a non-practitioner, from the outside it might seem strange that such things are meant as 'trainings' and not 'rules'. That having been said, there are certainly cases where these rules are taken very seriously. You can read the book 'Turtle Feet' for a contemporary look into how political and bureaucratic the Tibetan monastics can be.

What I've been told is that the Buddha taught in many, many different ways depending on his intended audience. So when he was speaking to plain, common folks, he gave them simple instructions to follow. For some devotional types, he constructed elaborate and complex rituals to help with practice. I think that you may be studying the more complex end of things and missing some of the less academic teachings.

I think that there are two phenomena here that we should distinguish with modern Buddhism. One is the sort of new-age culture that has taken the words of Thich Nhat Hahn and the Dalai Lama and turned Buddhism into a sort of 'feel good' spirituality that isn't very deep. This isn't the fault of the teacher, but of a mass audience hungry for some good feelings.

But then there are also people like Jack Kornfield, Steve Armstrong, Larry Rosenberg, Henepola Gunaratana, Pema Chodron, and many others who have taken a more westernized, but still faithful way of representing Buddhism in the West. This is again speaking from the viewpoint of a non-academic, but I'm also not just a 'true believer', so I've done enough of my homework to feel like you're making too strong of a statement about what precepts are meant to express.
Boring answer:
More time on the cushion ~= more moments of insight off of it.

Hacker answer: use timers, silent alarms on your phone, etc. depending on the circumstances to redirect your attention and set intentions for your activity.
Being an Indian, I can vouch for the fact that this is a South Asian accent, and very high probability that it is from either North, West or Central India.

I don't know why these young people have got into this. There's plenty of opportunity to get a job in India today, if you can even read and write just a bit of English.

My head hangs in shame. :(
I think there's something to be said for the inability to issue patches. It's created a culture in the software industry, especially in games, of rushing to get the first version out in basic working form and then have a "day one patch" followed by many subsequent fixes. Quality suffers because there's an attitude that problems can always be fixed later, so it's not a disaster if the initial release is below standard.

30 years ago this wasn't an option. Whatever the development team designated as the golden master would be written to physical cartridges, floppy disks, or CDs. Any bugs that were there would stay there, so you had to get it as close to perfect as possible because there were no second chances. This pressure meant that people were, by necessity, more careful. How many times have you installed a patch for a Super NES or Playstation 2 game? Compare that to today's releases.

For developers and other creators, the idea of being able to repeatedly update things is attractive. It's also necessary in certain spheres, particularly in fixing security vulnerabilities. But I know the sense of finality and relief can be immense once you publish something that can't be changed (as was the case with my thesis) and that something is finally "done" and I know I'll never have to worry about it again. The requirement to get something right the first time has a significant impact on quality.
In the US farmers have 28 days to get eggs in cartons.
Once in cartoons eggs must be sold in 30 days. Store eggs can be quite old. Freshness is likely a big part of flavor. I suspect that the US egg washing method may affect flavor as well. Home eggs typically aren't washed and are only a few days old. The eggs I sell were laid that week.
>Does it encourage physical get togethers?

I generally agree with all the points (minus the obvious caveats), but I'd prefer if we'd push back against the whole "happy work family" mantra. Some of us don't mind being seen as "just that guy doing the job from a distance", but do mind other people trying to make us more than that. For me, part of remote work is to get away from continuous pushing towards more socialization. Whenever someone says 'encourage', it often seems to loop around to a negative if you don't want to participate.
I’m curious to learn how you ran across this. A browser extension that surfaces the data? Or do you regularly go around downloading and inspecting images as you read?
People’s looks are often mentioned with slavery, though. For example, while Julius Caesar abducted about a million Gauls, the blondest slaves in Roman markets were Angles.

Hollywood, at least in the HBO production “Rome” did get this part right. The main character has blonde hair, which is a political liability.

As noted in another comment, Zanj is the Arab word for black. Kafir is the word for nonbeliever and use more broadly. I’ve not heard it used racially.
Here is a point I made at that blog...One very small piece of this puzzle I haven’t read here…I work for a global investment bank and here we manage risk. Paying one person 3x to do the work of 5 headcount is great…until that person gets sick, moves to Iceland to get married, quits to go on Beauty and the Geek, gets burnt out, falls off a bridge, etc. Then you are screwed. That is a huge problem from a management perspective.

The law has 2 parts: the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act.

If you actually do read it, note that many of the items in the bill required rule making and have entries in the federal register with the final rules. I don't know of an index that points to all the final rules.
Didn't they have some public contest to see who could come up with the best movie recommendation algorithm? That seemed pretty bold and innovative.
I actually wanted to test my application on a Cr-48, but I didn't get one.

Oh well. I keep forgetting that it's Microsoft that says "developers, developers, developers, developers".
They presumably record the behaviour of the person flying the simulator though during the simulated emergency (or any situation). What I'm suggesting is that a report is generated from recorded data to show that the pilot didn't do what was necessarily expected - turning off the in-flight entertainment is an example which might be judged an odd but innocuous action, but turning off the engines, or hammering 50 buttons in the space of a minute, or something, would indicate behaviour that is well outside of the expected parameters. That should be flagged.

If the other flight crew in the simulator at the same time can tell that the pilot was behaving erratically then the simulator reporting software should be able to tell as well.
I signed up for facebook again a few days ago because I need an account to manage some events / pages whose target demo is still reachable on the platform.

My account was dead for about two years or so before that. Within a minute or two of signing up with my (real) email and phone number, basically my whole friend list from back when I had an account, people I've texted on whatsapp once years ago, etc. were in friend suggestions. Downright creepy.
With a link helps here. Tap, tap, installed.
I'd add to this (as a US citizen)
please take action against US companies. The last time, with Microsoft, it was a very good thing for the US, the EU, the World, and the internet.
I remember once writing an IRC script for Microsoft's IrcX implementation that unmasked a masked IP, literally one character at a time. Sometimes these things are by design. :-)
Exactly to the point: They can implement E2E encryption in-browser, on dedicated desktop apps, with supported routers, and basically anywhere. Even $5 microcontrollers can generate and use the same encryption protocol.
I think even beyond not having the technical knowledge to identify problems, there were a lot of pretty obvious problems (pointing to an article that demonstrated piracy helped sales, etc) here that the judge should be able to identify.
> But Theo is missing the point. We're not simply interested in whether OpenBSD is vulnerable today. We want to know if there's any evidence that the IPSEC stack was ever tampered with, and particularly around the time frame that Greg Perry suggested that it was. Worse still, OpenBSD had what appeared to be†† a very serious security flaw, and they fixed it without telling users. OpenBSD users do have a right to ask the question, "hey, what gives?".

> †† We don't know if any particular configuration of OpenBSD with or without hardware accelerators in any particular release of OpenBSD had this problem exploitably, although it sure looks like they did.

Thomas, please try to look at it from a different perspective; You
want to know if there's any evidence of tampering, and you are free to
answer your own question. OpenBSD users and even developers do not have
a "right" to an answer, or better said, a "right" to someone else's
time, instead, they have a responsibility to find the answer on their
own.

If you do not care enough to do the work to prove or disprove your
allegations, then there's really no point in making or reiterating
allegations of tampering or exploitable releases. Unlike most people,
I believe you have the skill and experience necessary to do it, but
without doing the work, you're doing more harm than good.

If you were falsely accused of tampering, you'd be pretty upset with me
if I kept on yammering about it without providing a shred of evidence.
And rightfully so.
>So if I want a news outlet to pay more attention to a particular issue the solution is to do the reporting myself

Yes. Why not? People complain about it not being in the "mainstream" news, but then say, "well, that's someone else's problem to deal with".
Are you really serious? Adblocking is trivial and does not require government censorship. And how does allowing access to Google let them rule the world?
I'm not sure anyone understands the cost implications of a DDoS, particularly one on a third-party service. Even if you absolutely need to make a change to something that has to be done by more than one collaborator and has to be deployed via github and it has to be patched right now and there's really no other way, how do you go about estimating the losses anyway? You can't just assume that whatever average income you would have collected over the last 72 hours has been lost forever.

Is anyone out there even attempting to estimate how much revenue they've lost as a result of this DDoS?
Thanks for mentioning Gurobi. I
just looked them up! So, they
are headed up by Bixby! Terrific!

After IBM bought ILOG and C-PLEX,
I assumed that Bixby would retire.
Apparently, nope!

Also Bixby has two students from
Georgia Tech so, likely from
George Nemhauser and Ellis
Johnson.

George is the person who explained
0-1 integer linear set covering to
me. That same day he gave me
three words of advice that became
the direction for my Ph.D. dissertation
(in stochastic optimal control)
at Johns Hopkins. I knew Ellis
when we were both at IBM's
Watson lab.

Gurobi looks good.
All your devs already have copies or your repos, and setting up a common server to share over ssh is easy (first thing we did on Friday). The bigger issues are dependencies, most people's builds these days depend on pulling dependencies from github.
"Go compiles to native code. Java, ultimately, does too, but compilation happens at runtime, which is an overhead that Go doesn’t have, so in principle Go should be faster."

Oh boy. It pains me every time I hear this.

In a microbenchmark, JIT compilation increases the time to ramp up to peak performance. Once you're at peak performance, compilation time doesn't matter anymore. At that point, the JIT compiler's drawbacks are mitigated by two distinct advantages.

First, the JIT has information about run-time conditions that was unavailable to the static compiler. It's hard to over-state how important it is to know, for example, which if-statements are highly biased, or which polymorphic calls are effectively monomorphic at run time.

Second, the JIT can make over-aggressive optimizations based on unverified assumptions, secure in the knowledge that when an assumption proves to be wrong, it can discard that code and re-compile another version of the same method, optimized according to the latest available information. This is only possible if the compiler is present at run-time.

[These are my personal opinions, not those of my employer.]
Essentially yes. If it's about your own business it's called PR: http://www.paulgraham.com/submarine.html
Hmm I guess I haven't done that in a really long time, but I remember years ago running into issues because local files wouldn't reload immediately when I made changes to them (cached?) and have avoided it since. Don't know if other people have ever run into this?
Oops, fixed thank you!
Please don't do this here. I know what you meant, but besides being trollish, it's a way of putting down others in the community.
> Not trying to be pedantic, I just want to know if recurse is now an accepted word.

It seems to be frequently used and accepted, with the definition presented in Wiktionary:

http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/recurse

While "recur" also has, among its meanings, the same meaning, "recurse" seems vastly more likely to be used when the particular computing-specific meaning is intended.

Though I don't think any general-purpose professionally-edited dictionaries I've seen reflect this usage yet.
1) If the same user visits facebook.com and some newspaper site, let's say mercurynews.com, advertisers will pay premium for the facebook.com user since Facebook most likely will show that user the most relevant ad. San Jose Mercury News does not have access to the same trove of data, and their best hope is to display some ads from San Jose realtors in an effort to do geotargeting, or just go the retargeting route and show that user an ad for headphones he checked out on Newegg a few days ago.

At some point the premium for highly targeted ads is so rich that even with Facebook's cut of revenue share, the media company will make more money off the same content, than displaying it on a standalone Web page of their own.

2) Some mobile operators in some locations whitelist (or offer at a special subsidized rate) content from facebook.com. Some publishers might not be indifferent to those extra eyeballs (and potential rev share).

3) Publishers faced with same dilemma with Google News excerpt. Want to exclude your own headlines from excerpts? Go ahead, there are 15,000 competing news outlets around the world waiting in line to receive traffic from Google News. The publishing (especially news) world is becoming commoditized, and online aggregators have learned to play the content generators against one another.

Speaking as an American living in America, I love GDPR.

Where I work [big-co], it is mandated that all of our services are GDPR-compliant, regardless of worldwide location.

The only people who hate GDPR are ad-industry parasites. To that I say: good riddance, and don't let starvation hurt too much on the way down.
"No one knows how to make a perfectly safe car, yet there are some car safety problems for which car manufacturers are liable and others for which they are not."

The situation you are describing is that automobile safety is implemented primarily by establishing standards and only secondarily by the existence of liability (though it's important).

Now, if you had a large company that bought cars and modified them, that company would itself have an obligation to do it safely too. And having regulations about that would be an absolutely necessary part of liability and safety.

...we absolutely have discovered some vulnerabilities which can be protected against using certain software development techniques, and I see no reason why software vendors ought not be liable for damages caused by their failure to follow these established techniques.

I would note that the existence of zero-days is absolutely not the most pressing problem of software security. Having a reasonable system of connecting X to Y is far more pressing. You can get in as much trouble with a misconfigured system as with a vulnerable system. But broadly, your point that there should be standards, is good.
I thought server sent events were dead, or am I thinking about something else?
Nice to see another Clojure company succeeding!
> because trying to do SSH without an actual keyboard is really frustrating and no, I don't want to buy a keyboard for my iPad.

A little OT, but reading your comment I remembered how I used to SSH to my home-server using my ex-wife's Nokia E71 sometimes around 2008-2009, when we were going out with friends and I was getting bored. That phone was pure genius, it had a nice keyboard, no need to purchase any SSH client, you could write Python code for it (I was always too lazy for that, though) and it was just pleasant to use.
Be careful not to conflated this letter with studies. If 142 letters were posted, I'd be right there with you. AFAIK(I haven't checked them all) the other links are mostly studies.
It was interesting to read. I also found this article (https://ivypanda.com/essays/outsourcing-in-china/) about outsourcing. It can be a good addition to yours.
At my first job, I used to grind out work, staying hours past when most people went home. For me, this was the best time to actually get work done without the distractions. But I remember my project manager, who was twice my age, getting pissed off at me and telling me to go home. When I was completing tasks and sending off emails, I was just giving her more work to do that night. So that would be overperforming I think.
It very well could be. Attempting to either adapt yourself to emacs, or emacs to you, can take a long time, and may also fail.

Not to mention that, as much as I love emacs and other free software, bugs in your tools can absolutely destroy a day. The last time I tried emacs, a bug in the golang major mode that hung emacs in an infinite loop ruined a few days before I moved (back) to another editor.

Right, my point is that static linking is also okay with the LGPL, albeit slightly more difficult in terms of what you have to make available to end users.
