Terrorism is the use of mass terror against a civilian population you don't control to reach a political goal. Terrorizing a population is simply oppression and governments have been doing this for as long as there has been governments (Nazis, Soviets, Chinese Communists, etc. are all modern examples of this.)
Some things, sure. But you'll never know what those things are until you try and acquire them and fail.

That failure hurts, but you probably made it closer than you originally thought possible.
By "not going to heaven" I meant they don't go to where people go after death, which is presented as "gift of Iluvatar".

Regarding "elves returning from death" - it was stated in Silmarillion that they can go from Mandos halls back to life and that it happened many times, not just once. Most of them returned to Aman, but some did to Middleearth.
I'm guessing you're mixing up Apple with AT&T. http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/07/internet-troll-we...
I often hear this criticism of iTunes, even from the tech savvy crowd, however there are two settings in iTunes: Preferences > Advanced (or whatever the Windows equivalent is) 'Keep iTunes Media folder organized' and 'Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library'. Just make sure these are both off and iTunes won't touch your existing directory structure.

With those settings off the iTunes is just another media player, with the convenience of streaming to a couple AirPort Express devices.

But otherwise, yes, I agree, it makes a mess. I've forgotten to make sure these are off on a new machine once and a fresh install once, and rather than unmangling what iTunes does I just restored meda audio library from backup.
I worked at an agency where it was common to practice CV-driven-development. You'd decide what bullet points you wanted on your CV at the end of a project - be they new languages, frameworks, responsibilities etc - and manipulated the project (often disastrously) to make them true.
I'm negative on "Agile" because it's an attempt to patch closed-allocation, business-driven development. If you have a high level of talent and you're solving interesting problems, you can do open allocation. If those aren't the case, and for some reason can't be, then you need to take different approaches entirely (but you should seriously question whether what you're working on is worth doing in the first place).
May I recommend something based on matrix? If you keep getting upset by companies changing their product, hosting it yourself is pretty much your only option.

(Apart from hopping from startup to startup every 3 months I guess)
But why? C++ has some pretty good upgrades over C - like classes, smart pointers and a better type system. Even if you're not writing idiomatic C++20 code, having a better structure alone is worth it IMO.

If you don't need classes, maybe you should look into Rust - it's quite a bit more restrictive, but it allows a nice, functional style with similar performance while avoiding most of the pitfalls and footguns of C.
No. "auto" is not a type but a storage class that means automatically allocated instead of being allocated to a register, extern-al to the file, or in the static code segment.
This is why I usually have my audio muted.
What would it take to get Computer Science departments to view the history of the discipline as an important issue to be dealt with inside the department? Surely the author's right that if the technical history of a discipline is to be done in the way Knuth wants, and I think that is incredibly valuable, it needs to be done by those who understand the discipline.

But can C.S. departments manage that as an institutional matter?
There's a quite nice little book on the history of the idea of vampirism in Europe called "Vampire Forensics" and it mentions that cremation only became legal in England in 1902. Bram Stoker--who died in 1914--was cremated.

The potential for poorly buried corpses to float to the surface and move under the influence of internal gasses may have influenced notions of vampirism. It's remarkable how much like a liquid soil cover is on long time scales. I used to live across from a graveyard-turned-park and the odd bone would still surface now and then, a century after the conversion.
Mixed blessing. There was - and is - plenty wrong with Bricklink. The guy who bought it wasn't nearly as nice as the guy that started it (who died in a car crash, his mom then sold it).
But not over a decade or so. My old iPhone4 is probably worth (percentage wise) the same as a diamond purchased at the same time. But an iPhone2? My iPhone4 in the year 2020?
It says it connects as a display over USB... I wonder if this requires specialized drivers or if there's a standard?
Even Italy and Spain, having anticipated Pope Francis's sentiment three decades in advance, have lower fertility rates than Japan.

Two solutions to your demographics problem are to reduce the cost of elder care (http://www.economist.com/blogs/babbage/2013/05/automation-el...) or to raise the retirement age (http://business.asiaone.com/news/raise-retirement-age-70-lim...).
I don't doubt that so many people on the right are hurting. Their constant accusations of being called the "fly-over states" is totally true. There is endless rural decay, industry is gone. When life is difficult like that, it is very easy to pine for a time gone past when things were better. But now it's gotten so bad that people are desperate. COVID-19 has made it much worse, and people don't want to follow restrictions as it could be an existential threat. So they try and latch on to the one guy that is rich, because they are not; the one guy that talks straight, tells them what they want to hear. And they fall for him, and pledge their support. Combine that with a severely underfunded education system where people don't think critically and just think to tests or drop out, people can be swayed easily. Just look at the people at the Capitol riot. These people are not smart and thoughtful, you can tell by their incoherent ramblings. They have been incited by their environment. Yes they chose to go to DC and they deserve to be punished for it, but I can sympathize with what brought them to this place. The problem is Republicans are so bad at dealing with those issues, because they require broad-based governmental programs since private enterprise has abandoned those communities.

My optimistic hope is that with a few years of widespread governance by the Democratic party, we may see some wide-reaching assistance reach these people. Get education reformed, get police reformed. Teach these people that hating black people actually causes their own outcomes to get worse. Support their businesses that they have had to scrape together. Pass widespread healthcare reform so healthcare is accessible to all, not just the rich. Build up people, don't tear them down. And, most importantly in the short term, vaccinate the whole country to get past this COVID-19 pandemic so the economy can get back to full strength. I think once that happens, and the Trumpers have some time to grieve from the loss of their former leader, these people will come back to the fold and see that hate isn't a useful method of getting what they need.
< I don't believe any party should be compelled to repeat your speech

Freedom of speech shouldn’t necessarily be compelled by law to be allowed by online platforms. But freedom of speech is not just a legal principle and individual right, but considered by many of us to be a core American cultural value. It seems reasonable for there to be public outcry and negative response to a company suppressing free speech. Free speech doesn’t include provable lies or inciting imminent violence which unfortunately I believe occurred this week.
World War 3 has started.
I think some of the questions posed in this thread are quite difficult and strike to the core of human psychology. This is a difficult moment for everybody. If we observe a somewhat tribal response, we should not be surprised.

Im sure they are plotting a terrorist attack in a public site for all to see /s
For me it would just be “complies with the laws of the country”

An acceptable compromise I think would be to have unlisted apps that can’t be found on the top charts or in search but can be installed via the App Store with a link.
> (Also, before calling me a fool, consider that your own link says that it's not confirmed whether these devices were real bombs, or fake ones.)

Does that matter in the slightest for whether or not to condemn the actions? If I plant a bomb in your house, that is an action designed to cause terror, and should be condemned. If I plant a fake bomb in your house, that is an action designed to cause terror, and should be condemned.
Five years ago civil society was in general agreement that racism was bad and that we should respect the democratic process instead of seeking to violently overthrow it. Of course there were people who disagreed but they were at the margins and their voices were isolated to a few forums most people never heard of.

A demagogue came along and used mass media platforms to destabilize the norms of civil society and give a large platform to previously marginalized views. Being able to air those views on mainstream outlets perpetuates the problem and shifts norms.

We need to at least try to put this genie back in the bottle. Most people will revert back to previous mainstream views. The significant segment needs to go back to an insignificant segment. That insignificant segment will be angry that they didn't win, and likely some of them will be violent. But they've always been that way anyway.
You know that five people died, right? Bombs were planted, property was stolen. All this to protest a legitimate election.
This is the same type of conspiracies that the right is accused of having. Was there anyway that he could have announced he was boycotting the inauguration and it wouldn't be taken this way by some?
Statistical information from repair places suggests otherwise for build quality. For instance:

It varies by year and place though.
‘You can't exclude the exit and say "oh, they changed the narrative". Because the exit is the whole point of embarking on making the business in the first place.’

I agree that this is essentially a failure.

However, for many years they provided exactly the service they said they were going to provide.

As for ‘the exit is the point’. Maybe for those who controlled the stock, but definitely not for everyone involved.

And even for the founders, do you think this was the exit they planned on? I very much doubt that.

The end result is a bad one, but I don’t think you’ve made a case for being cynical in some broader sense.
I don't think Trade Prince Gallywix has a big role in this expansion, although I haven't played it yet.
>Not only have those things not happened but you are the one choosing that they are wrong for your own agenda.

All of these things are pure partisan powergrabs - and many democratic commentators aren't shy about it either.

> You are quite clearly advocating not just against the rule of law but also against the democratic process.

You are quite clearly immersed in the state cult and our "sacred democracy", ignoring keep ideas like balance of power that our nation was built on.
Haskell is what happens when you take the idea of pure functions (i.e. no side effects) _really_ seriously, and try to create a programming language that works in that world (modulo mechanisms for doing the side effects you _need_ such as I/O).

It turns out that when you do that, all sorts of stuff that simply doesn't fly in other languages "just works", particularly around representing things using structures otherwise rarely seen outside of mathematical logic and category theory. This is all very powerful and elegant, but it means the landscape is unfamiliar, confusing, and intimidating to programmers who don't have that background or the inclination to learn about it.

Hence all the monad tutorials — not because monads are particularly special, but because beginners encounter them quickly due to IO, so they need some sort of explanation (it's like how if you teach a beginning programmer Java, there's loads of ceremony to explain around classes and public and so on just to do "hello world")... whereas you can get away with using haskell for longer without learning about, say, functors and monoids — though it somewhat misses the point of the language if you do so.
No, thank you! This is something I didn't even know existed, and now I'm very curious to find out more. Although chances are slim, maybe that software turns up somewhere someday (it would be brilliant if it's on one of the machines I got, since except for the one that was my own in the 80s, I did not get to even see them yet--shipping them over the ocean would not just have been expensive, but risky, too).
K-9 is not ugly if you use a more recent release. In F-Droid, go to the app page and have a look at the Versions that are available.
That’s shifting the goal posts. All waiters/waitresses make at least the minimum wage (by US law) and the better ones make way more.
> They don't own Twitch. They didn't take any of the economic risk to start it. They're not on the hook for covering its server bills if revenue craters.

And yet with all the money in the World Twitch will close doors if all streamers stop streaming. Twitch is literally nothing without the streamers.
We'll see. Part of the Catch-22 of QI is that if it hasn't gone to trial it doesn't exist, so it doesn't go to trial. Let's see if this WinAmp's Box can be bashed open.
s/car/bike/ is obviously not the solution.
Not organizing your life around cars is.
This has more impact on one's life than just replacing a car with a bike, as a comparison between, say, a typical north american household lifestyle and a typical dutch household one readily shows.
End to end encryption only stops Apple from seeing the location while it's moving "End to end" on each end, the Find My app itself or other device features almost certainly leack this information to Apple or it can be gotten through trivial effort if Apple wanted it.

Good post, but there are a few slight inaccuracies:

> you only qualify for return of the rake that you "contributed" by winning a pot. So for example, you win a pot of 1000$ and the casino takes 100$ in rake from that. After rakeback you receive 30$ of that original rake.

1. Sites typically cap their rake at $3 per pot, so $100 is very unrealistic.

2. You qualify for return of the rake that you contributed by playing a pot, not by winning it. So if it folds to you in the blinds and you shove all-in and the big blind calls, that's two players who have put money in the pot. If they take $3 rake from that pot, you each get $1.50 contributed rake.

3. Not all sites use contributed rake. Some sites just equally divide the rake by all the players who received a hand, without regard to how much money they put in the pot.

As far as folding to profit from rakeback, let's look at a 1/2 game. If 40% of hands see a flop, and the average postflop pot is $20, we're looking at $1 rake per postflop pot for 40% of hands, so $0.40 rake per hand. Divide that 9 ways and you have about $0.045 rake paid per hand. Get 30% back, and you're only looking at 1.5 cents per hand, or 13 cents per orbit. You pay $3 per orbit in blinds, so clearly folding is not going to work to make any money.

"Rakeback pros" (a derogatory term) make money by playing near-breakeven poker for a huge volume, let's say 250,000 hands per month (200 hours per month, 1250 hands per hour (a low estimate)). Using my numbers, that comes to $3,750 each month from rakeback.
This security issue is the reason I stopped using Mint. The non-FDIC insured accounts are any investment accounts -- your 401k, your IRA, and wherever you store any money you'd like to be making more on than just "rolling CDs." If you're basically month-to-month with just a few extra months of living expenses, then one might not have many of these accounts. But, for many of us in the HN community, the FDIC-insured portion is significantly less than 1/10 of our assets.
2) plants protect themselves with bioactive substances directly aimed at animals, substances which may have untoward effects on long-term human health.

Does anyone have a reputable journal article that supports this theory? The authors own list doesn't seem to include any. And my own litter paleo research found almost no support for this in research. (most often I found article that suggested that the levels of anti-nutrients in cooked beans and grains were too low to have any real effect.

There's a ton of great research to support a hypoglycemic diet. I would love to see that much research applied to the second claim.
Ah the McDonalds strategy, hook em in as kids keep em as customers when they're adults.
This sounds like what we do. Only that we can run on different operating systems and perform real time data replication and server migration through virtual appliances. =)
Not really. I don't know how much you know about how it actually works, but it's a much bigger mess than what you are describing in the article. OS X isn't really built from the ground up to be resolution independent, and linking to articles about quartz is kind of misleading, given that a lot of the graphics layer of iOS is completely different than the graphics layer of Mac OS X.

It may be easier on OS X than other platforms, I don't really know, but Mac OS X, despite a lot of talk over the last 4 years or so, remains not fully resolution independent, and the new iOS approach is a pretty big departure from what has been going on in Mac OS X.
I would say that she is offering a suggestion. She sums it up at 6:51 where she talks about he lack of development of spill containment technology. While not a solution to this particular incident, she is suggesting a way to reduce future risks : spend more on containment technology.

Furthermore, her bringing to light the similarities to a previous incidence (which I hear most people talking about like its unprecedented) is necessary to highlight that it doesn't seem like the oil companies have done much to help mitigate the risks for the environment they create. They've spent a lot to extract oil from harder to reach places but are using the same containment methods that they used 30 years ago.

As an aside, the silver lining for me from this video is that I'm a little more reassured that the world isn't going to end and the oceans aren't going to die. The previous spill had similar flow rates (10K's barrels per day), though it seems like the duration of this one might be longer since they're a while off from drilling the relief wells.
I know very few hackers that can make great products for my mom or my sisters. Insert Steve Jobs' spiel about the intersection of technology and liberal arts.
There are other more reliable signs of the same sort of sloppiness that are independent of native language, which if I were analyzing a bit of documentation I would use. Using inconsistent terminology is probably the biggest one. I struggle with this myself.

It doesn't matter what a "widget" is within your system, but it ought to be one thing and stay that one thing and everything that isn't that thing shouldn't be a "widget". (I'm not even trying to choose a generic word to make a point; I'm literally between two sessions where I'm working on the documentation for my local "widget" concept, which isn't quite like any other widget in the world, most likely.)
Android's "attempt" at resolution independence? It's been designed for it from the start, and as a result it's very very simple to work with as a developer. Stop spreading FUD.

Any Android app by a competent developer will look great from one resolution to the next. Now the iPhone can do that too, just with some growing pains as developers update their apps to provide higher-definiton resources.

It's great that the iPhone is progressing, but there's no need to adopt this "finally Apple gets it right!" stance and trash their opponents who have been for years doing pretty much the same things you tout as revolutionary and unprecedented.
It says as much in the official Tesla press release:

NHTSA does not publish a star rating above 5, however safety levels better than 5 stars are captured in the overall Vehicle Safety Score (VSS) provided to manufacturers, where the Model S achieved a new combined record of 5.4 stars.

You can't blame Tesla for taking that number and running with it, given that (1) modeling car safety from two seaters to SUVs on a range from 1 to 5 stars is ridiculous and (2) the star systems suffer from the same problems as contemporary game and movie reviews: 99% of all evaluated products land between 3 and 5 stars, where 3 then becomes the new horrible, compressing the already low entropy of a star value further.
