Indeed. C++ is incredibly fragmented, I guess that could cause its demise before safety becomes an actual concern for language choices.
Yeah, Flamingo had them. Cost $69/night for two beds, so not bad.
It's a prototype...
He's not talking about the brain conserving energy (the brain doesn't use that much energy anyway) but rather the organism as a whole by not performing other physical activity (e.g. an early human looking for food during the night when the African predators are active.)
I'd think that having a GC and runtime associated with it would prevent Go from even being considered for a Systems language.

interesting, i was unaware of a movement in childcare to get more men involved. i do think it similar to tech, in that(historically) if a man said he wanted to run a daycare for a career, it would have raised eyebrows. just as a woman saying she wanted to be a software engineer might have at a time. that said, in the above reference. the man would still, to this day, get a lot of strange looks for picking that as a career choice, whereas the woman would not.
Ok, many members of the Bush administration ordered torture and medical experimentation on human beings, a flat out war crime.

James Clapper lied under oath to Congress.

Hillary Clinton kept classified material on a personal server at her house.

These are all serious crimes with plenty of publicly available evidence that they were committed. The people who committed them are all inside the country and easy to find, so charging and arresting them wouldn't be difficult.

So where's the outrage from all the "rule of law" folks? Why aren't these well known fugitives ever mentioned alongside Snowden?

I get what you're trying to accomplish with the parallel construction, but that's a pretty callous way to describe it :/

Filmmakers that make real money off films have virtually all gone digital. RED and Arri Alexa cover a huge percentage of movies made in the last few years.
A non-precise answer: a surprisingly large amount if you're careful about which parts to remove and if you do it really, really early in life. ;)

In adults (or even adolescents) though, not as much luck.

In the case of hemispherectomies on Rasmussen's patients, you can analogize it as: people are dual-core by default. If you remove one of the cores early enough in life (like <5 yrs old), you can re-route the wiring so that processing can done by one of the cores, and still be pretty much normal. But whatever subtle thing is lost when if we don't do parallel processing like we usually do -- that things is pretty subtle to test for as well.

If we're willing to invest in engineered solutions like hydroponics and vertical farms, then there is no need to be growing crops in California in the first place. The advantage of California agriculture is that you can grow crops outside year round. If you're growing inside, then you might as well grow where the water/people are.
Interesting. Very different from Israel, which is in a part of the world that has long suffered from chronic droughts - the culture is very much that water needs to be preserved and not wasted (e.g., by taking long showers, etc). And I would say this is true even after Israel "beat" the drought with desalination plants (http://mobile.nytimes.com/2015/05/30/world/middleeast/water-...).
Rationally, what is anyone supposed to do?

In March people were claiming the state had 12 months of water remaining. Lets assume that number is holding and we've got about 7 months of water left.

If the entire state simply halted all urban and industrial water use, that would buy about 3 extra weeks before the state runs out of water. And that is in a scenario where 40 million people (and all non-ag industry) simply cease to consume water at all.

Not washing cars or watering lawns is a great emotional gesture, but nothing short of real policy or weather changes will make any meaningful difference.
oh this is a copout! there are many low wage job categories dominated by men... garbage collection, construction(low level), shipping, commercial kitchens, yard work, i could go on and on.

Interesting! This one keeps the 7-day week, which means it has a chance of succeeding. But wouldn't inserting an entire extra week every few years cause problems with things like monthly salaries and mortgage payments?

What’s the next built-in ACPI attack?
The article was wrong in stating that pretty much all the agricultural was usage was for food. 15-20% of the water is for growing alfalfa. That may be cow food, but it is a huge waste of water. A lot of press is given to the fact that 10% of the water is used for almonds, but they are at least a a high value crop. Another high water usage crop is cotton, again not food. Give it back to the South. And rice; you have to be nuts to grow rice in the desert. It's not worth destroying the aquifers for such crops.
When it comes to animal intelligence discussions, I find any form of domesticated animal to be a terrible model: They've been bred (and often inbred) for traits that are NOT indicative of intelligence.

That said, your central (and valid) point actually agrees with the above poster: To use criteria to determine "intelligence" is good science; to declare animals can't have intelligence or anything related to intelligence because they aren't humans is empty.
We attribute intelligence to humans, most of which are barely able to parrot what they hear from each other. I don't see why being generous to animals is any kind of a problem...

I have a very strong suspicion that our idea of intelligence basically boils down to "can you communicate with it easily?"
Met the founder of a startup accelerator in Singapore and shared my idea. His first question - "will it be a billion dollar company?" I said no but has the potential to scale to a few million dollars and his reply was - "then its not a startup but just a lifestyle business."

US government officials have been caught lying countless times when it comes to "national security" issues. What gives this particular promise any credibility?

Is this "promise" legally binding? What about the next Attorney General? Or the next one?

Even if he isn't executed, he could be physically and psychologically tortured. I'm not sure if you know much about the US prison system, but this is a common and officially sanctioned practice. Many people would consider a lifetime of torture to be a worse punishment than execution.
Well, IIRC the brain receives 25% of the body's blood flow. I think that means it's using a lot of energy (but I'm not a doctor, or a physiologist, or a biologist...)
Yes, "elemsof" is not only another new name, but in my opinion, it is also a name that does not disclose itself easily.

Good naming in programming is an art.
Looks cool. Any android plans?
I think that's going to be the plan at some time in the future, maybe this winter. What I really want to do is run a conduit under ground to where the RV is parked and connect an 8 gauge wire through it, and also an ethernet cable. This way I can wire the RV generator's start button directly to the electrical system. The control unit has an auto start function, so when the batteries get to critical level, rather then shutting down, it automatically starts the generator and charges the battery until they reach ~ 80% capacity. This way I don't have to worry about it and have to turn it on manually. I already found all the manuals and figured out the connections, just have not gotten around to implementing it yet.

The 3 extension cords were a temporary workable solution, something I could implement that day, when we run out of electricity for the first time. I had the tools, and tested it with one cord, and 2 and 3, it worked well enough to where I could sleep at night, not that you can really sleep at night with the generator running, that thing is loud. :) Now, with more resources, and more time to plan it out, I think I am going to make a more permanent solution. But you know how what they say about temporary solutions: "There is nothing more permanent then a temporary solution" :)
> Up quarks, down quarks, strange quarks, charmed quarks, top quarks, bottom quarks -- in addition to these six "flavors," quarks come in three "colors": red, green, and blue. There is no end to the inventiveness that has become part of the subculture of particle physics.

Or the confusion suffered by many a layman (or young student) when encountering these for the first time.

> Still the overeager schoolboy, he pronounced foreign words perfectly and corrected new acquaintances on the pronunciation of their own names.

Can't imagine why that wouldn't make someone popular.

> Gell-Mann had become notorious for his bad temper. Among his cronies, the nasty names he coined for rivals were as familiar as the catchy terminology he applied to particles. Leon Lederman was "the plumber," because he was an experimenter rather than a theorist. The distinguished theorists C. N. Yang and T. D. Lee were "those two Chinamen from New York."

How dare his contemporaries not exalt him as he'd like to be exalted.

> "I'm writing a book for peasants," Gell-Mann would say dismissively.

And that's why Feynman is a household name (well, or much better known name) and Gell-Mann is not.

Gell-Mann may well have been the more accomplished physicist, but Feynman was the one that had the ability to explain the things he understood in ways that idiots like me could almost follow.

The stories of Feynman embody a lot of the traits I respect the most -- curiosity, fun, a kind of unsettled creative energy and a complete disregard for putting on airs. Gell-Mann embodies a lot of the traits I dislike the most.

The Gorilla Foundation has no problem granting access to celebrities (e.g. Robin Williams) or the media. Critical behaviorists or linguists have had no such luck in access. In the videos I have seen the trainer acts like a tarot reader: Koko will make a bunch of signs/movements and then the trainer will interpret for you what it means. So long as you want to believe it all makes sense.
@kevin - Thanks for the detailed feedback! Appreciate it.

The sign up flow messaging could definitely use more work and I'll be sure to incorporate your feedback into it. One fix would be to be to simply ask for the email again as opposed to restarting the whole flow.

I just debugged what happened with the double signup BTW. Basically, an issue with FB Messenger is that not everyone associates their phone number with FB. If thats the case, Myra gets your FB account ID and not your phone number when you sign up. And as a result - it can't figure out you're the same user. Need to figure out how to fix that. Suggestions welcome actually.
can you send the link via SMS?
This is ridiculous. It's well-known how to build taller buildings in an earthquake-safe way -- San Francisco has plenty of them, as does LA.

Anyway, we don't need to go to 40 stories to be "vertical". The vast majority of residential structures around here are 1 or 2 stories. Even 8-story buildings would start to make a difference.

Of course, they would add to traffic...

>It seems you may be working under an incorrect (though very common on HN) assumption...[markets are for liquidity, not allocation]

My assumption is that the existence of HFT hurts the market as a whole, and hurts the economy as a whole; it is, essentially, a systematic hack that allows smart programmers to get money for nothing other than being smart enough to game the system. That is one assumption that could (should!) be challenged.

Batch auctions (thanks for the term!) quantize trades in time, eliminating HFT. The other being that quantized trading, even if implemented, would not actually eliminate HFT. This could also be challenged.

But my inexpert confusing of liquidity and allocation is a bit of a red-herring.
The point of these vault services is that they are write-only. Otherwise, they are as good as useless. You put a CC number into them and you can't get them out again. This is why it's a feature of the payment gateway; you get a token back for followup charges but you never get the CC number back.

You might not need a vault if you can find a payment gateway supports followup transactions. So you do one transaction with the CC number and then use that transaction number to do another charge on the same CC without providing the number again. I use one payment gateway that supports this instead of a vault and it works well.

2checkout has recurring payment options which you might be able to use (or abuse) for your needs. If you're trying to do monthly or yearly charges, that option might work well for you.
The imperial choice of using highly composite numbers is at least as convenient for mental arithmetic as decimals.

Yeah, I think the idea applies to many startups: if the first time someone heard of you is when you're writing "the announcement", it speaks volumes. I only qualify the Bitcoin part given that it's fairly niche.
In a similar vein, if (just throwing this out there off the top of my head) the last common ancestor of apes and humans was 4 million years ago, why haven't apes evolved speech and tool making in those 4 million years?
It's pretty obvious, but perhaps worth noting that this requires the malware be installed on the computer somehow. That in itself is probably a challenge for an air gapped computer.

If you run runit you can also take a look at runwhen: http://code.dogmap.org/runwhen/

That's true. On the subject of movies, though, a plot point based on an actual vulnerability would be way better than typical Hollywood hacking.

From my experience, using a moving average works really well to track weight. I am repeatedly amazed that more apps don't have something like this considering Hacker's Diet[1] was doing it over a decade ago.

I kind of see equations with a video in my head of numbers moving around. so 11 might become 10+1 or 9 might become 10-1 depending on how I need to put the numbers together. X might move to one side of the equation etc.
This indeed would be very cool! Right now things work relatively well with the biggest pain being the acquisition of std for your target.

If std and core could be made into first-class crates, then you could get rid of the need to find a pre-built version of libstd for your target. It would just be built when needed by a project.

This is what we currently do in zinc for core via the hack here: https://github.com/hackndev/zinc/blob/master/Cargo.toml#L27. Zinc doesn't use std (for obvious reasons). Right now, targeting a raspberry pi is much harder than it should be as a result of having to having to find an appropriate cross-compiled std.

That is, I want the steps for cross-compilation to be:

1. Execute `cargo build --target=foo`.

2. There is no step 2.
Thanks for making your corrections as well. Yes, I am in research, and I mostly come here for what's new in Python, learning algorithms, and data analysis. As an aside, it's tough to wade through the "startup land" and personal health advice and keep a straight face in all honesty, but there are few other places that aggregate the things I'm interested in on the computing side of things. An "HN" with users that specialize in bioscience would be very interesting, but I don't know of one with any level of seriousness/activity.
IMO I would add that (depending on dev time) I guess I should have asked if I was to participate could every action be anonymous.

Do you think this could be used in an academic setting like research studies?
One of the main reasons to use wordpress is that it allows lay people to customize the look and feel of their website. Sure hosting is a problem, but likely the bigger problem is building easy to use tools to make their website looks pretty and functional.

Favorite quote:

"The intimidatingly smart top players in particle physics compete on a
level playing field. The field is also rather constricted, with only a
few big ideas being batted around at any one time. Most prizewinning
discoveries are made by two or more thinkers simultaneously. What makes
one a superstar and relegates another to obscurity often depends less on
the work itself than on political acumen."

I find it interesting how the glamor of physics has ebbed over time and wonder how that's affected the level of competition.
