I've personally found two things work very well:

1) When you want nice wine, go to Safeway and buy the $20 bottle with the largest discount (of a type you like, of course). You'll typically pay $12-14 for a pretty good bottle.

2) For those times when you are feeling cheap- well, this is more of a 'be prepared'. Drink cheap straight gin, cheap straight whiskey, and a little straight Wray & Nephew Overproof Rum for a few months. Then, 2-buck chuck tastes gorgeous.
If I understand it correctly, you can only do this if you have access to the source, correct?

HuffPo headlines are pure sensationalism, but at least you know they aren't paying for content and they actually have good writers (I think). It's fun because it's so in-your-face. I hope they don't sell to Yahoo.
Or, it could be that Mr. Karpeles hasn't been harmed for a common sense reason; right now, he's the only one who seems to know what's going on inside of Mt.Gox, and what the actual status of the missing BTC is. If he comes out and announces that all of the customers' coins are irretrievably gone, then all bets are off.

(No, I don't want to see harm come to him, and I don't mean that comment above as a threat. What I do know is that there's a very strong chance that at last some of the BTC he lost/stole/squandered/etc. was owned by people who don't settle things with a lawsuit and a lawyer. Maybe it is unlikely, but it's something that I would be concerned of, if I was in his shoes right now)
... Why do you imagine it was so easy? If you feel the "correct" answer is "obvious", you simply have a strong moral predisposition in one direction already. Many people teeter on the fence.
I have yet to develop much in Chicken, but I've looked at it closely. It works on a different philosophy, one of more practicality (and less elegance). Because of that, it's matured a lot, and it has tons of libraries which is a huge benefit.

Gambit is more lean and portable, good for uses like compiling to the iPhone (that would be much harder for Chicken).

That said, I would probably use Chicken for my next project.
I've had mine for about 9 years.
I've been using this nickname for more than half the time I've been alive.
Which is great. Wages are sticky, making it difficult to reduce nominal wages. Inflation helps prevent layoffs by allowing for some real reduction in wages in a weak economy without having to reduce nominal wages.

Getting rid of this mechanism would be bad.

Perhaps minimum wage should be indexed to median wage or something, but it should absolutely not be indexed to inflation.
That price is based on what Microsoft paid for Nortel's block in 2011.[0] I think there was another purchase of IP addresses since (by Amazon, maybe), but I'm not able to locate a price.

> I get the argument that someone who doesn't speak your language doesn't participate fully in your culture either, but I guess I'm still not sure why I should be upset about that.

Societal harmony matters. It's why universal healthcare exists. It's why welfare exists. It's why affirmative action exists. Why countries spend money integrating immigrants. Everything that helps out poorer people is done with societal harmony in mind, these programs aren't 'fair' to the middle class that largely pays for them. But they reduce crime and increase social cohesion.

Countries exist that have dozens of languages and tribes. They usually have endless social problems, unrest, civil wars and often break up. Homogenous societies (culturally) almost always work better. It's why the US creation myth exists, ditto for Canada, it's why France and Germany try to teach their language to newcomers, etc...
Try posting Rushton and Jensen and see what happens.
First, as someone who strives for balance, I can't sit idle when you say "All tech is evil". That is just not true. We are all tech. all of us here. Very few people on this planet are "evil". However, many actions are perceived as evil by some and good by others. Google is not evil - they might do some things wrong, or badly but I don't believe they are inherently "evil". Neither is Uber or Facebook or any other tech company (Spam farms not included). And yes, the tech has improved our life tremendously. And it has done so at an accelerated rate over the last decade+. So fast that I really think we failed to adjust in time and are swinging from extremes at the moment. We were given "Social Media" and are now learning how to navigate both "social" and "media" together. We got tech giants and now learning what they can/cannot do. Give humans time. We're not as clever as we'd like to believe - we take time to adjust.

And yes, I think Uber's attempt to squash all competition is bad. But because they are managing to do it, the smaller firms lack driver mass and when i need to get from A to B, I'm stuck with Uber. Tomorrow I will try Kapten, and if that works fine, I'll just use it. If it doesn't deliver, I'll stick with uber while it's around. Between standing in the rain and using Uber - my choice is already made up. Still doesn't mean i need to like them.
At least for dating, there's an easy solution to the Paradox of Choice problem:

1. Be unattractive.
2. Don't be attractive.

Seriously, though, this probably was a factor for why I met my current wife on OKC. There were only a few plausible (at best) matches, she was the only one who could converse coherently, and, well, one thing led to another...
This is really neat, and it's clear a lot of work went into the polish and interactivity. I'd love to see the elimination examples extended to show how LU factorization falls out of those steps. It seems like a key thing to grasp and lays the groundwork for understanding of related matrix factorizations like symmetric, QR and singular value decomposition.
The paper says that "coloring is based on temperature". I think what they mean is that the coloring of each point is determined by the peak temperature that has been reached by that point. (Which seems perfectly appropriate for the intended application to visual effects.)

Is anything a VPN company says any better than their reputation? We can't see what's going on behind closed doors.

Even the authorities asking for data have an interest in keeping the VPN's reputation alive in case the VPN does cooperate.
Nearly 40 years in the US workforce, many, many jobs, not a single one was once a month.
I noticed that the promo videos all show you doing things indoors, in more or less private settings. Your living room, your kitchen, your workspace. Contrasted to initial Google Glass video (skydiving, jogging, meeting for lunch .etc) I think it's safe to say Microsoft has learned from Google's mistakes.
>”...if they didn’t simultaneously pretend to be moral forces for good. Michael Jordan understood this years ago...”

moral consistency is not why jordan avoided activism. he did so because he knew his whole identity as best basketball player in the world (not to mention his fortunes) could be taken away by oligarchal owners if he made any misstep or perceived slight. he was hyper-competitive and didn’t want to play a losing game.

(like so many others, jordan was my basketball idol growing up.)
> which you probably _shouldn't_ be grouping on anyway.

This is frequently unavoidable, though. Or more precisely: it could be avoided with a sane database design, but the databases on which I have to work for my day job are the precise opposite of "well-designed", so grouping on complex expressions is unfortunately an inevitability.
No, they really do talk incessantly about style and looks. Really. Including flamewars about which manufacturer has 'ugly' or 'beautiful' characteristics.
You're probably right. We often have the legal idea of "arm's length" meaning a transaction that is coincidental or purposeful will be treated differently.

I find this interesting in your link:

"if a transaction has no substantial business purpose other than the avoidance or reduction of Federal tax, the tax law will not regard the transaction"

I don't see how that doesn't apply to all the shuffling we see from big corps these days, licensing things they own to companies they own just to shift profits. Though that's another tangent.
The only bad design I see is the missing generics.

The path, modules, and error handlings are features to me, not drawbacks.
While some might be seeing 212 potential youtube scale success stories that google killed "for no apparent reason", I'm seeing 212 potential wework scale disasters that google avoided by killing off successful pitfalls and focusing on their core. The truth is somewhere in between, but obviously with google being what it is today, none of these cases chip-ed of anything from their success.

Not sure what you are talking about as that phrase does not exist in the JOBS Act. The JOBS act removed restrictions around advertising. If you want to learn more about the restrictions it removed this paper does a nice job of talking about it: https://trace.tennessee.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1256...
To understand why people do the things that they do, it is necessary to consider things from their point of view.

It seems that you think I am disputing the outcome of the election. I am not. I am merely pointing out that different people see things differently, that differences in belief can be sincere, that acting on those beliefs can be honorable, even if those beliefs are mistaken. And finally, I made the point that Trump, his enablers in Congress and in his administration and in the media, perpetrated this lie and must be held accountable. For they turned what is a noble impulse--to defend democracy--into a threat to our democracy.

Excellent news. The pattern of the last five to eight years of the prices being effectively the same when I go to buy a new hard drive is incredibly depressing compared to the yearly halving of my youth.
It's not just sensitive information that users send, it's the information you send back. Your users are implicitly (knowingly or not) allowing their ISP, wifi hotspot, or anyone else who might be snooping to see what they're looking at and sell that information, inject ads or malicious code (if you're browsing on IE6, lord help you), or worse. I want neither Comcast nor a government nor a credit agency nor an unscrupulous proxy server/VPN nor a corporate firewall administrator knowing what's on the pages I or my visitors look at. And I don't want crapware/ads/lies jammed into those pages by lord knows who.

The problem here is that if someone can intercept your unencrypted traffic, they can also disable the headers that instruct the browser to switch to HTTPS. That means that unless you're getting your site preloaded into the browser as requiring HTTPS, folks on modern browsers who hit an unencrypted URL on a malicious network are as good as compromised, and they can not only read the traffic but modify it as well. And unless you disable non-HTTPS traffic, there's nothing you can do about it.

I would strongly recommend against taking the steps in this article unless you're running a site specifically for vintage computing enthusiasts.
Not parent, but my wife and I have been using YNAB for over 5 years, even before they moved to a web app. It’s changed our lives:

- We never fight about money because we have already planned for the next month together.

- We each get equal amount of no questions asked personal money that the other person cannot criticize how it’s spent.

- When we first started using YNAB we realized we were living off credit card float, and spending money we didn’t have until we got the months paycheck. We thought we were doing great just because we would pay our credit card off each month. But we were actually 100% relying on our future paychecks to survive.

- My wife lost her job 2 years ago and was out of work for a month due to COVID. The budget gave us an objective view rather than an emotional one. In both cases, we didn’t need to even rely on our emergency fund because of flexible budgeting.

- We are able to maximize credit card rewards without being concerned with spending too much.

- We are able to easily track our cash equivalent net worth.

Most of these things are not YNAB specific, but the software makes things so much easier.
We're aging too!
A tree captures CO2 temporarily. We would have to bury the wood to actually remove it from the atmosphere.
I don't think that's "zero impact on code readability" at all; the extra line and extra variable adds overhead when reading, all of which will add up over many maintenance cycles.

And I do think it's "zero impact on performance" in any real program; even if the compiler didn't optimize, I'll bet that particular loop wouldn't even show up in your profiler.
This has to be the most useless line of comments I've see on HN in a long time.
Can you elaborate if you can do SPV investments with this structure? That's the way Angellist and others avoid having many smaller investors on the cap table - you get one line item for the SPV.

It's weird public discourse has gone from "Na, the NSA couldn't possibly be that widespread and invasive" to "Na, they're not doing anything bad with it..." It's like some collective denial of what the next step could be, apparently we have a lot more faith in government than a lot of people let on...
Its a red herring to inject taxes. Print the money. Not kidding, its a far better solution.

Correct. Pretty much each time you logged in it tried to do it. Scummy in the extreme

If that what was Kubernetes did, then we wouldn't be having this discussion.

What you describe is more like what something like Ansible does. Provision, health check, flip load balancer.
Only if the company allows them to (or is simultaneously raising capital). Also I believe (though not 100% sure, depending on where you are) that income tax is paid on dividends, irrespective of whether you subsequently reinvest.
But still lightyears off. You are dramatizing our priviledged existence. Billions (literal) would offer their firstborn son to be "cogs" working a "massive corporate enterprise". What you are describing is the good part of modern life, I suggest you don't look at the bad parts if this already disturbs your soul.
The official number of suspected deaths connected to the issue in the US alone was 89. I'm not sure why you wouldn't take it seriously.
"Unknown unknowns" is an interesting term of art, but it might hide what the issue really is.

A UU Example for an ML system is simply proof that it has failed to acquire the relevant classification (etc.) criteria -- and on most problems, ML systems cannot in principle do so (eg., consider that 3D data is often needed and only 2D given).

I'd prefer to call these "breaking examples", or, "beyond-scope examples".

What's happening is that the domain of inference (X) fails to contain data about the target (Y), though Y belongs to the "Problem Domain" of which X stands as an incomplete sample.

eg., X = images of roads; Y = pedestrian in street; PD = X + 3D data + behavioural data + pedestraian_theoryofmind + weather_data + ..

Actually deciding Y requires PD; we have X.

So there are many "breaking examples" which fall within PD but outside of X.

Note, in general, we cannot measure the full PD using contemporary machine systems. Humans are able to capture much more of the PD in complex ways which would take a while to spell out.

Much of modern ML, as advertised, is a bit of delusion and a bit of charlatanism: we are offered a means of obtaining Y via X, but never consider PD. We just keep "evaluating" the systems on examples consistent with X.

This is the point of this article. However, it is a much more radical one than it is making out. This practice is really a means of disguising that ML systems do not work.
Nice!

IMHO, portable code is the reason for the different nomenclature. There is also something to be said for the cognizant development of those API's in such a manner .. new words control ownership.

Idea: A joint venture between Google and Tesla. With Google's software and Tesla's hardware, we can have a car share network of autonomous cars. You no longer own a car, you simply call one up when you need it. You get it and the car drives itself to your destination. Then you get out and the car drives away to pick up another passenger. This spreads out the high cost of electric vehicles, while lowering the overall number of vehicles on the road. Drunk driving is history, as are parking garages, parking meters, taxi drivers, bus drivers and public transit as we know it. The center-most lanes of highways become the auto-pilot lane, where cars form a 'train' of cars, traveling at 120 mph and with only inches between the bumpers, to take advantage of lowered air resistance via drafting. Of course, this requires the infrastructure of solar powered charging stations. But I think a better solution might be to install wireless charging plates in the road itself, so that the cars can travel further without charging. You might even be able to provide a tiered service- private, limo-style vehicles for the wealthy and more modest, carpool style busses for cheap public transit.
the wow effect in c++ 'yeah i can do this cool stuff i read about in another language also in in c++. i just have to use this fancy lib and its really cool what you can reach with templates.' i foud always stunning. anyway it is no good for efficiency - but having worked with c++ for some years makes you vety efficient in more simple languages. i ser following drawbacks of c++ - the default is very often not what you should do. this is the price for backwards compatibility this makes it hard for the novice but you get used to. - the incredible long build times esp when working with modern libs. how many hours did i spend waiting for the compiler and how many for optimizing ny precompiled headers. this is really a produxtivity killer. its has also historical reasons but i dont understand why no proper module system gets depeloped - the lack of support for runtime errors. for 7 years i have not seen a crashing java program without giving me a hint where it crashed. and actually i have seen far less total crashes. in c++ you do one small thing wrong and the whole program ends with an abnormal program termination and you dont have any clue what happened.

I find this subject of all the new rich in China very interesting. Is there any book or documentary that explains this phenomenon? I don't understand how this happened in China.
It's actually pretty well predictable if you think about it in terms of encapsulation and core functionality. If this functionality is an external requirement to the purpose of the components, then it absolutely should exist as its own component that coalesces that functionality into a single location. However, if that functionality is core functionality to the components, and they just happen to do the same thing in the same order... Then that's where you'll eventually see divergence if you try to link them to a third component. In those cases, you should either be trying to join the two components into one, or just happily leave them as separate components that just happen to perform some common operations by way of their primary function.
Congrats on shipping.

Your analogy only makes sense if the perpetrator just went into the house and wrote "Your house just got its ass kicked" on a post-it note.

First, you are ignoring that derivative works have copyright from both the original author and the person making the creative alterations.

Second, plagiarism is an ethical standard that exists independent of law. It does not need copyright to exist. If you didn't write it, you quote it. Even if the original writer assigned copyright to you and you alone.
While nix the package manager is obviously the main point of interest in NixOS, could somebody who has actually used NixOS comment on other aspects of it. How's the packaging of software, does NixOS try to follow upstream as closely as possible, or do they push towards some other direction? Do they eg. aim to provide some sensible default configurations or do they expect people to do their own thing? How is the software selection in the repositories, are there lots of packages missing or out-of-date? And so on..
I know plenty of "old people" who don't talk like this. In fact, the "old people" that I respect tend to be a lot more open-minded.

It's one thing to joke about it a little, but this is just arrogance on display with obvious derision for us children who find that traditional syntax highlighting is beneficial.

I recall reading once that Vim tabs were a crutch for people who "can't remember what they're working on". It's the same kind of arrogance and presumptiveness.
