Deeply thought-provoking. Confronts difficult issues and makes logical, compelling and important arguments. May have to think about all this a little differently now.
Are you suggesting that I'm far-right?
So, serious question:

Why would they backdoor Windows, when apparently they could just buy an exploit for $X00k[1]? Its seems buying an exploit serves all those same factors, at a similar price range, while making it much harder to point a finger at the NSA when it eventually gets discovered.

Its probably a safe assumption that if someone is found using a backdoor in Windows, its probably the US Government that put it there. If its an exploit, its a hell of a lot harder to point that finger at anyone in particular.

This makes me sad. The mock-ups, I don't like them much.
I don't think that's what idempotent means. The only way f can be idempotent when f(f(x)) == x is if f(x) == x. (This implies that f is the identity function).

The property that makes the function idempotent is that successive application produces the same result as initial application: f(f(x)) == f(x).

At least he's not insulting them about it.
Ideally, it'd balance out.

Most of the time, you'd rent a small place (thereby saving money as compared to an apartment). When you needed something else, you'd simply get a more expensive place for a few days, the extra costs would be balanced out by having those smaller places most of the time.
I see "F" not as censorship but as just a less intense version of "fuck", a la "fudge", "heck", "darn", "frickin'".
'If we can't discuss this topic using those well-defined things, what can we use?'

I am told you will find all the things you need well-defined in the JLE, and in doing so you will avoid positing a plurality without necessity, as Billy Ockham may or may not have put it.

Get more than one (1) IITian on a ski/gambling trip, and it's rank and test war stories the whole way. :) (I aced (800) the SAT I math section without studying a single minute, no prep classes... Not a lie.)

One thing I noticed is how anything that disess Ivy/Pac 10 always gets down-voted. Doubting the value of pedigree is tantamount to Siné out of Charlie Hebdo for poking at a certain religion I guess. People might be down-voting because they hate the circumstances and then do that the same as down-voting a video containing something newsworthy but horrible on (video platform).

Perhaps I'll try an evidenced-based comment sometime with generous, neutral language and let the audience make up their mind.

On the plus side of (undergraduate) academia, it signals completion of a large task.. Which has some value.

(Bias: I've worked at a big brand uni on both the research and business sides.)
When I reflect back on this meeting, it was a surreal experience. Everyone present discussed the idea of building a workplace panopticon with complete normalcy. The TCO managers claimed that monitoring workers was necessary for keeping them safe, or to prevent them from stealing. But it wasn’t convincing in the slightest. We knew that they simply wanted a way to discipline their low-wage Kazakhstani workforce. We knew they wanted a way to squeeze as much work as they could from each worker.
What’s great is that their actual landing page has a section that says inspired by inventors.

Note that one of the claimed benefits is "expressions that eliminate most temporary variables". That was a huge advantage because memory to store source code was scarce, and even more so because compilers were dumb. If you used a temporary, chances were the compiler would use a store for every write and a load for every read.

Compilers were dumb because they had to run at reasonable speed in scarce memory. The time of the 63-pass Fortran compiler for the IBM 1401 (http://ibm-1401.info/1401-FORTRAN-Illustrated.html) was gone, but for microprocessors, not by much.
This drug has actually been mentioned in several past clinical studies on the closely-related SARS. The particular study below has been circulating in several areas online, and has citations to several more:

https://cmr.asm.org/content/20/4/660.long

Despite the role of the pH-sensitive endosomal protease cathepsin L in the entry pathway (151, 300), viral culture does not require pretreatment with trypsin. However, this pH-sensitive cathepsin L may be a target for agents such as chloroquine, which elevates endosomal pH (174, 341).
By reading the technical details of the Krasnopol on its wiki page it looks like "moving before the shell lands" will do little when it comes to avoiding the incoming shell. At least that's what I can understand from this fragment on that page:

> The system functions as follows. The observer determines the target location (e.g. map coordinates or bearing and distance from their own position), ensures that their laser target designator can 'mark' the target and requests or orders a fire mission against the target using Krasnopol. A gun is then aimed at the target location and a guided shell is fired. The firing unit uses their 1A35K command device to send a signal via a communications link confirming the firing of the projectile to the 1A35I observation post device with the observer. The laser target designator is then used to illuminate the target and the in-flight projectile detects the radiant laser energy reflected by the target and the navigation system steers the shell towards the point of greatest incident energy—the designated target with top attack pattern. The iris of the optical seeker head is protected by a cap which is ejected by a mechanical timer upon firing.

Low visibility conditions are of course a deterrent against this type of attack.

You cannot pour a drug into the populace that will cause side effects on a mass scale that might also overwhelm the healthcare system. It is nice to imagine we have the medicine already, that we can simply wave our hands distribute the pills and everything can go on as it was before this. But we do not and can not go back.
yeah it is, I'll try harder next time...
I am going to save, but I think it still could use some medications to be complete. I think some commonly used "farm" medications, like the very effective de-wormer; panacur would be a good addition. For example, this drug can be given orally in food as a paste, tastes ok, is safe and will eradicate roundworms, hookworms, whipworms and certain tapeworms.
counter-counterpoint: I bet a large portion of the people you're talking about are genuinely price conscious consumers trying to make the most educated purchases they possibly can. I doubt these people would be the same type that blindly buy an hdmi cable at a 20% markup... how simple is it to compare prices these days online? If you're traveling to a book store then buying through amazon I would bet money that you're probably going to price check that Amazon branded hdmi cable.
I've never thought of the money as the major selling point of YC.

Re general purpose libraries, definitely consider splitting projects up into separate libraries, and switch the domain specific projects to using those libraries.

To be fair there's a middle ground. You can just commit as WIP and force push to save progress. Then undo that commit and start making the individual commits. Everyone's happy.

I actually remember this show. This was prior to reality TV shows and arguably before movie 'The Truman Show'. I did not had the honor to see this on TV, but I was been told and then checked out some Japanese websites (more like blogs, but before they were been called that) that provide text and photo updates on Nasubi's progress.

Thank you. The thought of medication makes me sad, I don’t know why. I am seeing a therapist. Not sure if helps, I’ve only been in three or four sessions.

For some reason I don’t like talking to people. Usually I don’t know what to say and I don’t find interesting the things others talk about. I know it sounds selfish but I don’t know how to pretend to be interested.
This disagreement happens often, and I think that's partly because there are two meanings of 'expect': to regard something as likely, or to regard it as the rightful or obligatory standard of behaviour.

If you expect (in the first sense) benevolent corporate behaviour, in the absence of incentives that align benevolence with self-interest, you're generally being naive. But if you expect (in the second sense) benevolent corporate behaviour, and act accordingly, you may be helping to create that alignment -- because corporations and the people who control them usually care about their public image (certainly when it directly affects consumer behaviour), and legislators are usually at least somewhat responsive to public pressure.

So having the first kind of expectation leads to unhelpful complacency; but lacking the second kind of expectation leads to unhelpful cynicism, cashing out as acquiescence to the status quo.

> Average hourly wages doesn't take into account workers' increase in benefits.

I can't help but feel /r/badecon's rebuttal is dishonest. For many people benefits haven't increased, so the fact that it is excluded is a non-issue. E.g. The growing number of workers who are kept below full time hours to avoid being given fulltime benefits as one of many examples I could list.

Regardless, if it is accurate I'm very curious what the growing employer benefits has been.
"Just over 50 years ago, a Russian astrophysicist named Nikolai Semenovich Kardashev proposed a scale for ranking these hypothetical civilisations based on their energy consumption. The Kardashev scale was intended to help direct searches for signals from intelligent beings. Over the past few decades huge effort has gone in to detecting such signals, some of which have been written about here on Astrobites (see here, here, here, and here). So anything that helps us narrow the search, or understand the target better, is certainly welcome. But the scale is more than just a practical tool. Since its inception it has led to hypothetical new energy consumption mechanisms, inspired generations of science fiction writers, and influenced thinking around our own future energy consumption."

I don't think it does anymore. For example, superhero movies/movies in general don't even do kissing scenes anymore, even if they have a really big budget. This shows that it's seen as less and less important to the sales of a movie.

Netflix is merely a peripherally-involved third party in the recent Comcast/Level(3) drama. But I guess being a big enough AWS customer might help them get problems fixed when they arise.

I sincerely doubt that Netflix would be acquired by Amazon without a serious downward adjustment to their market cap. Besides, Amazon hosting the entire Netflix infrastructure would present a dramatic disadvantage to any other potential acquirer; in general, M&A yields the best returns for shareholders of the acquired company when there is a bidding war taking place.
staunch - valid questions

1) fair point, but devil's advocate says that is to be expected considering I posted it on launch day.

2) yes, I received a friendly reminder email that today was launch day and that tim would appreciate reviews. he did not specify positive in his wording. just that he would like reviews up.

3) The book actually _recommends_ not reading it in its entirety but rather selecting a few relevant sections based on what you want to do. I am not interested in the fat loss sections as I am already at 11.8% body fat, rather I am interested in the muscle building sections. Page 11 talks about 4 different "tracks" you can take with the book: rapid fat-loss, rapid muscle gain, rapid strength gain or rapid sense of total well-being (improving sex, perfecting sleep, etc). I quote from the book:

Do *not* read this book from start to finish.

4/5) I had already tweeted it earlier so it was easy for me to copy the link. As for affiliate, the HN consensus seems to be that "good faith" links with affiliate codes are okay. a book I would have recommended anyway. If HN really, really hated affiliate links then my Kindle review would not have gotten so many upvotes and 16 people would not have purchased them through me and the disclosed aff link

I'm assuming the police is primarily using GPS to prove guilt, but are there any recorded cases of someone using GPS to "prove" their innocence, as an alibi?
I'm quite acquainted with said knowledge. A small community surviving with a garage full of machine tools, some glassblowing, and a bookshelf of dusty encyclopedias, could easily bootstrap back to the early 20th century. A bit of steam reforming and the gigatons of plastic trash gives an ample source of chemical precursors to replace petroleum for chemical uses, and biofuel/gasification for energy. Not to mention millions of solar panels for the taking.

Just because it's not economical to do these things now, does not mean it would be impossible, especially in dire straits.

Would it cut the human population to a few million? Probably. Reset to the middle ages? Hardly.

What are the real innovations that make the modern world?

- the surface plate and 3-plate method

- steel metallurgy

- certain key chemical processes: Haber, Bosch, etc

- electrical generation

- the radio/telegraph

- the transistor

- calculus and algebra

All would survive a full-blown nuclear attack. Rebuild would be slow and tedious, but completely plausible, if not guaranteed.

Yeah but `tar xvzf archive.tgz` also works so I remain wary of tar. Basically every time I have tried to do something that's not tfz or cfz or xfz, it went wrong until I checked the manpage.
Those ASML EUV machines are like 100-200 million dollars apiece. I can't imagine what the lead time on something like that is. And of course you need people to run them, a space to run them in, and everything else. There can't be too many industries with bigger capital outlays than cutting-edge semi fab.
Reading the Annotated ANSI C Standard by Herbert Schildt in the 1990s was one of the best things that helped me grow as a C programmer. That in part lead to a coding exercise in conjunciton with a friend where we wrote a simple ANSI C compiler while in high school. Learning how to get all these kinds of details right was a great experience.

they sell disposable pyramids intended for palletized cargo, the purpose is to prevent people from stacking stuff on top. In a modern cargo movement system if you have something on a standard pallet I think there's a low chance of anyone turning it on its side or upside-down, since that's just making more work for them vs. handling it with forks as intended.

Under federal rules, the departments got to keep the forfeitures. IE: the cop who pulled you over could literally pocket the cash. 0 oversight.

Under State rules, in almost all states, the money goes into the general fund. And there is due process to actually seize the asset. We're essentially removing the incentive from the police officers to pull people over. It does them no good to take your stuff if it just goes into one big pot that they'll never see again.
Standard definition isn't too bad, it's that old analog video has degraded. Older videos have weird VCR artifacts from being stored on tapes for years. Older movies have the color washed out and sound distorted. Even older pictures often have weird color.

30 years from now kids will occasionally stumble upon youtube videos made today, and they will look exactly the same as when they were made. Possibly better if upscaling algorithms improve and are more common.
Have you seen Fry's selection of electronic components lately? There are 3 within a 30 minute drive of me, and I visited all 3 of them in one day trying to find a component without having to order it online. Their selection was not any better than the local Radio Shacks. The selection of components at RS were in drawers and was not impressive. The selection at Fry's was also not as impressive, but since they were just on hangers on a fairly large amount of real estate, all of the bags were yellowed and nasty looking. Some of there stuff even had a layer of dust on them.

I'm not trying to bag on Fry's, but I would not be surprised if their component selection gets eliminated to make space for refrigerators, microwave ovens, and color TVs.
Well as a designer, its not realy easy to help on opensource projects. Its hard to join something like that and if you do, the projects themselves usualy need UX design not some pretty colors and some logo. But thats exactly what engeneers mostly want. I dont blame them, they spend lot of effort to make the project and they have their own ideas about how it should work (for them).

But good UX is about objectivity and about efficiency. Its also a process.

Another thing is that there is no tradition in that for designers. Opensource programming free time fun project for programmer is equivalent maybe something like making print posters for designers.

And interaction design schools are hardly helping that, they should make students to help out on opensource projects maybe as part of their assignments/diplomas.

How would i join opensource projects that need designers? I dont know.

1. Is evidence that the mail man should be disciplined or fired, not of a mountain of fraud.

2. You've literally proved my point about ignoring any kind of context with this one. The title intentionally misrepresents what is happening from the outset by misqualifying the containers ballots are regularly stored in as suitcases. It's not attempting to raise a concern about the election process, it's attempting to incense people with a particular ideology. This is further reinforced when you entirely ignore the testimony of anyone with any knowledge of how the ballot counting process is carried out, including ignoring the fact that any of the independent observers that the officials alleged to have left of their own volition could easily challenge that claim at any point.

3/4. All you've done here is prove that the methods already in place are effective at catching people who try to cast a dead person's vote.

Throughout this you've entirely ignored the fact that these discrepancies have been brought to people's attention and that they are either pure conjecture or on the level of individual misconduct. Any actions required to have /any/ effect whatsoever would be much more obvious and would have been put.

> I'll have presented evidence, and you won't have.

You've provided absolutely no evidence of the kind of mass fraud you're asserting has happened, once again isolated incidents will happen and in general they will be caught. Fraud mountain is a fiction of Trump's fucked up ego, and is evidenced by the fact that the absolutely overwhelming majority of votes have been agreed as legitimate by both independent and partisan observers.
