Applying the word "cheating" to the teacher here is a re-definition of words worthy of Humpty Dumpty. The plain meaning of cheating is to gain an unfair advantage over others in a competition. The teacher administering an exam is not a competitive act on the part of the teacher.

I am deeply disappointed that so many here on Hacker News are resorting to such poor sophistry to defend a very simple, cut and dried case of cheating, and that so many are lending their approval through their up-votes.
"Writing a decent exam is surprisingly hard."

I hope I don't come off as flippant, but you're shooting for a PhD, the most advanced degree you can hold (if I'm not mistaken); isn't "surprisingly hard" kind of the name of the game? I'm sure if you ask students, many of them would say taking the test is "surprisingly hard," are shortcuts justified for them too? I'm sure a building contractor will tell you keeping track of and in compliance with environmental and safety regulations is hard, but we expect them to do it nonetheless, because that's his/her job!

Ultimately, whichever method allows the instructor to most effectively perform his or her job is best, and maybe that's question banks. Cases like this one are notable because they call into question the stance that using banks is as effective/more efficient.

Good luck on your degree!
Templates are slow to compile, most modular parametric polymorphism solutions are pretty fast (C#, Java). Barring Scala...but to be fair they have a lot of other things going on in their type system!

That carpet always made me feel a little nauseous - especially on early morning flights. But I do agree it's different. I think Portland has so many wet days and is generally gloomy that the carpet is quite a cultural shock.

I see no evidence this is true.

For me economic inequality isn't a problem as long as people are equal under the law.
Flickr launched in 2004 and, at 11 years old, doesn't look very tacky (Yahoo's meddling aside). It also seems like a good problem to have - it needs to last ten years first. If the name's a problem then, the option to rebrand is still there.
So every time a new value is loaded into one of the "high level" registers, it's actually loaded into a new underlying register? So the underlying registers are basically immutable?
20% for full service management on-demand is a bargain if you compare it to the cost of what vacation rental full-service management goes for which is usually closer to 30% and requires signing a longer-term contract.

The fact that they can provide it for that low of margin is actually pretty impressive.
My thoughts exactly (except for the part of making it an underground startup): in these days of drones and copters boom, I wonder how much time will pass before we hear about phones, guns, tobacco or whatever being smuggled into prisons by swarms of elusive quadrocopters.

In EU law too. Booking.com just got convicted half a million just for notifying TOO LATE (two weeks after the fact).

I assume they expect to claim it's not a fb leak in some convoluted way, otherwise I don't understand that move.

Oh wait, weren't there also shadow numbers in this ? Aka you had my number you uploaded it so it's in the leak even though I had no relation to them ? Might be why, they have no right to contact me to warn me
I think the author has self serving blinders on. The hypothetically in indisputable but the reality of it ever happening is a non starter.
It's because we stopped smoking. Nicotine protects against Parkinson's disease:

https://n.neurology.org/content/94/20/e2132

After adjustment for age at risk, current smokers at baseline had a 30% lower risk of PD (RR 0.71; 95% CI 0.60–0.84), and continuing smokers classified using updated smoking habits at resurvey had a 40% lower risk (RR 0.60; 95% CI 0.46–0.77) of PD compared with never smokers. The risks of PD were inversely associated with the amount of tobacco smoked. The protective effect of current smoking vs never smoking for PD was attenuated by increasing duration since quitting smoking.
Can you give OOM of any of the improvements? Eg. crash rates halved?
Yeah, but if they’re talking about physical location franchises individually owned by local residents (there are a lot), the tracking they want to do probably isn’t nearly as pervasive as Facebook as a whole.

For example, each location might want to track the effectiveness of ads for their locality. Facebook is probably a decent place for them to run ads too.

The big problem is that Facebook has earned a reputation of abusing all the data they collect, so most people are going to say the same thing as you and not have any sympathy, but it probably screws over the poster you’re replying to pretty bad.
That's a misleading headline. The text says:

"There’s great potential here to bring Ruby performance to native Java or C, but we are just starting the optimization phase of that work. We will do our best to get startup time, memory use, and performance on par with 1.7.x (or better) before the final release of JRuby 9000."
I feel it is instructive that we remember Tim O'Reilly's incisive piece titled "Piracy is progressive taxation"[0].

It makes little sense to claim that an author/musician is losing money through piracy when the likelihood is that the [majority of the] pirated copies would not have otherwise been bought.

"Only at the point that creating music is unprofitable will piracy be affected (no more fish in the sea)."

Many (most) musicians/artists create music/art for the love of it. They make very little if any money doing it. Often, they even do it at a loss.

It has been this way since long, long before the internet and filesharing existed.

It still has one of the lowest per-capita budgets of healthcare systems in developed nations. If one wants to explain why wait times are high compared to other healthcare systems, that would seem a more obvious explanation than the single-payer funding model. I would agree that an ageing population is also a factor.

Bad things:

Shows the very same tutorials over and over and over again. Last week, I tried to get my hands on NodeJS in a reasonable short time. That means, I wanted to write a basic web app with some AJAX in NodeJS having 1 or 2 days to actual learn it and another 3 days to implement the app. As much as I would love to see NodeJS to become more widespread, it's not gonna happen with these sparse amount of information around. It is simply not possible to learn NodeJS from tutorials at the moment, because almost all tutorials deal with a) getting a webserver up and running in 20 lines of code or less or b) uploading a file.

Seriously, either I want to deal with Node.JS to build network apps (then why all the tutorials about building web apps) or I want to use a framework to get my web app up and running in no time. But I really have no interest in writing a webserver and dealing with the routing on my own.

There is Express, but tutorials are outdated or don't cover it in depth. Furthermore, Node.JS is very cumbersome to install, as you need to compile it, compile a packet manager and a thousand other things before it is ready to go (if you want to use it for web development).

As long as people keep repeating the same tutorials over and over again, I don't see Node.JS becoming a popular tool for building web apps in the near future (which is sad, because I do kind of like Node). What I would like to see, is either a tutorial that focuses on building a framework from scratch or one that focuses on the use of an existing framework.

Agreed.
Perhaps these days a youtube channel would be more appropriate?
Amazon.com is their US site. If you're there, you've effectively walked into a store in Seattle. If you want a store not tailored to the US market, you'll need to visit one of the sites they've made for other countries (where this is probably not available yet).
To reinforce this point we agree[1] that some experiences can be so extreme as to cause long term psychological damage. PTSD is a really extreme example of not being able to cope with what reality was (due to generally experiencing an extremely bad portion of reality) - so I wanted to reinforce that at the extremes information can be damaging and different people do have different tolerances of how they cope with such information.

I'm not saying that reading a news article is equivalent to PTSD but it's a spectrum and we all sort of need to accept that different people have different abilities and tolerances when it comes to being exposed to extremism and propaganda - heck we'd all probably pride ourselves here as being able to see through the BS of most advertising but we also need to acknowledge that advertising is effective on a lot of folks.

1. As a society in general, I hope you'll allow.
It really depends on the place and nearly always applies only to experience specifically in the exact role you are in.

I have 15yrs experience and moved sideways a few times and I am in effect treated as if I were new in my current role.

So senior doesn't so much translate to experience or even transferable working knowledge but rather 'how well you have done politically to gain position in this specific company'. Yes I am cynical :)
Twitter and Facebook need to be held accountable. It appears that fomenting an insurrection is good for (their) business.
The lockdown was tightened for Christmas. [1]

1: https://nypost.com/2020/12/20/londons-covid-19-christmas-loc...

EDIT: It's weird that people don't believe me. Here is a BBC article talking about the Tier 4 lockdown that occurred right before Christmas:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-55380644

From the article:

"Millions of people across England have been banned from meeting friends and family indoors over the festive season as they enter a new tier-four level of Covid restrictions, while indoor mixing has been restricted to Christmas Day alone for the rest of the country."

Perhaps someone in the comments could show me evidence that London was "loosening the lockdown for Christmas"?

Also I live in London (and did during Christmas, where I cancelled my plans because of said lockdown), and am British.
Moreover, if people took a minute to think of how respiratory diseases spread, and what masks are, it'd be obvious that they have some level of efficacy.

Well django is already very big.. so the target audience is people using Django ;-) It's a very stable, python-based, web framework with a huge community and widely supported. Some python hackers find it too big with too much bloated features. As far as I'm concerned, anytime I start with a smaller web-framework I need to add mostly all django functionaly the next few days so meh.

IMHO, for new projects, DJango is clearly one of the top contestant.
There are two organisations that I fear:

- Canada Revenue Agency (CRA)

- Department of Fisheries and Oceans (long story)

I do not fear CSIS, the RCMP, or the CSE oddly.

The CRA (like the IRS) will make your life a living hell if you do not file properly. I was once a member of a not-for-profit organisation that was shutdown by the CRA due to the incompetence of its treasurer. The treasurer refused to file on a yearly basis under the guise that it wasn't necessary. It was difficult to remove the person as it was a three-person body that ran the NFP company with a directors board underneath to handle all other affairs--I had several years in the directors board.

Looking back it was a dumb structure but it made sense at the time at least.

Eventually the CRA got wind of our not-filing due to our status as a corporation under the Business Corporations Act in British Columbia, and thus seized all assets and shut it down. It recently rebirthed as a non-profit organisation (with people who do know what the hell they're doing), but it left a good friend of mine almost in a compromised financial state, another person unable to get a business of their own due to disqualification from tax credits, and another person (the treasurer themselves) ended up going AWOL.

Don't fuck with the government body that wants your tax dollars even if you don't have to do anything more than fill out a one-page form.
What I don't get it what obligation Snowden has to the GCHQ. Being responsible with the NSA information makes sense since the NSA was his employer and at one time may have represented the welfare of his fellow citizens, but all the information from the other of the 5 Eyes I imagine he, Glenn and Laura could be much more liberal with the reporting. I'm sure there are downsides to such a tactic, but it seems that at the very least it would make all the rest of the 5 Eyes look bad enough that those other nations in the future would be a lot more conservative with respect to how much they cooperate with the NSA. At the end of the day, only the US and the UK have been actual terror targets. I really don't get what the politicians of the other 3 of the 5 Eyes are getting out of the deal that makes involvement worth their while.

Can you explain why sticking it in the ground is not an acceptable solution? To be clear, sticking it in the ground that is neither seismically active nor near water sources. The areas people want to stick them in the ground are thousands of miles from civilizations and meet the other criteria. It isn't like the rest of the waste that we just stick in the ground (like coal, plastics, etc that DO enter our water supply).
I found some speculation that you might be able to build one out of thorium from smoke detectors and lanterns, as in the David Hahn case, but not much. No way this would be legal though.

> `create-react-app` is not a hello world, it's application scaffolding.

Somebody should've told that to pretty much every author of every React tutorial out there. They all start with `create-react-app` because it's "easier" this way.

> Imagine if I said Ruby's hello world was 1 million lines because I had started with Rails. That is what is happening here.

Incidentally, I remember visiting a code bootcamp a few years ago. Back then, they put people who never saw a line of code in their life in front of Sublime and showed them how to make web apps with Ruby on Rails. So this definitely happens, and the results are as expected.

Those bloomberg systems could do video. There were people who made significantly more than beer money assisting dealing room people to watch otherwise not broadcast en clair games, on their terminal, alongside the stocks.

From the text:

> Multiple confidentiality issues arise in the production of the CPI. One set of issues arises out of the need to prevent
unauthorized access of data that are embargoed, or yet to be released to the public. because the CPI data can
affect financial markets, it is essential to ensure that no one without authorization has access to the data before release. BLS personnel who do see the data ahead of time are restricted by law from engaging in certain financial
transactions during the period where they have seen data that are not public. Pre-release data are encrypted and
always kept on secure servers, with any hard copies locked in secured areas.

This is exactly what we use it for, it comes as a simple to setup device that almost anyone could set up in <5 min with no technical knowledge needed.

It's all about getting them deployed effortlessly for us, and treating them as first class citizens in terms of management. Most of the devices like this you can pivot to another hardware platform if you wanted or needed.

It gets much more complicated when you start doing video (especially if you try to containerize your application, but it is possible to do while remaining performant.)

I think about 60% of our use cases boil down to "put chromium on the screen" though.

I agree with your analysis. I think a lot of people in this thread have objected to my comments on the assumption that I am making a strong claim of racism against Tolkein. I really meant it when I said casual undertones. Would that Tolkein existed in a vacuum, this would be largely inconsequential, it's just that his blueprint has become the prototype for the whole genre.

There are certainly characters in Tolkein who have less black-and-white moralities, but you very quickly see that "goodness" varies as a spectrum along "race" in LOTR.

I certainly agree that other authors are more racist.

* no.. 'should' is such a misleading term. like i said, this is not a moral issue.*

This is a bit rich coming from someone dictating what artists need to do to please you as a consumer.

the power dynamic exists purely because 'want' is your weak point in a trading situation, and my ability to keep that from you is my strong point (my weak point is my need to eat).

The need to and the costs of production still exist even when the ability to recoup investment by controlling distribution does not.

"This is simply not true - there is a fixed cost of supply." no, there is a fixed cost of creation. supply is unlimited (virtually).

In economics there is supply and demand, and fixed costs and marginal costs (ie the cost to produce one more unit of a given product). Creation is not treated as a separate thing from supply, since it is a necessary precursor. Some goods are supplied in single quantities. Please don't lecture me about economics if you are not familiar with the basic terminology of the field.

i get the feeling that you are trying to moralise not only about the existence of piracy (which imho is in itself a profound misreading of reality) but about me, about which you know nothing. i find this vaguely offensive.

Well, now you know how I feel about being told that because artists and publishers of the past have made lots of money from industrialized distribution, artists of today should not expect to get paid for supplying a product the market wants, which is a rather annoying fallacy of composition. Just because the industry has done well overall does not mean that everyone has been receiving '10x value from 1x work,' as you put it. The majority of people in the film industry work on fixed pay scales and see little or no residual income.

if you care to know, the existence of piracy, abundance of content, and the leverage of being one of thousands of eyeballs has allowed me to shift from being a powerless consumer to being a producer, and a patron, as i please. which is awesome.

In what sense do you consider yourself a producer?
