Did this hypothetical event take place in New York City? If so, the NYPD would probably throw a parade in your honor.

Even if you were a driving a commercial truck and ran over a kid walking to school while driving without a license, they still wouldn't press charges.
You forgot "have a legion of sycophants/sockpuppets that systematically downmod any post that's less than a furious jerkoff over how amazing Mill is".
The battle has been lost only in political discourse, not really reality. Small liberal arts colleges and places like UChicago and the Ivy League continue to uphold those values; most state schools still have liberal education programs - even if their enrollment and funding is declining.

Why should we continue to subsidize them? Same reason we subsidize art, or space exploration. Because it's human progress, and it shouldn't only be available to the rich.

What are you expecting the vast and growing population of economically unnecessary people to do all day? In an economy that doesn't need people to work at production anymore, we can move up Maslow's hierarchy to something more interesting, like what the wealthy in academia have been doing all along.

Maybe people were offended that someone would criticize Wikipedia in this way in the context of news about censorship against it, the idea being that it's rude to bring up problems with a site's content just as the site is about to be censored.

Personally I think problems of bias on Wikipedia are an interesting issue that can be hard to deal with, because many Wikipedians have assumed that the elaborately-worked out policies about point of view, reliable sources, and citations have already addressed this. But maybe in many contexts these policies don't work well or don't achieve their goals well (and there are lots of ways that could be so, some of which are already identified within the Wikipedia community but not necessarily solved).

I assume the downvotes have to do with the implication that it's legitimate to block Internet content that is biased, rather than with the assertion that Wikipedia content is sometimes or increasingly biased.
>There's just you and me here now, and that makes me 50%.

"Guard of Terra" suffers from an egomania. Read carefully, I wrote "in the Russian population".

>Of course many people struggle to admit the miserable result of their whole lives, but the result is objectively miserable.

you must be projecting your own views of your own life on others from what i gather
Well, I expected to be downvoted. This is one of the most heavily Progressivist boards on the entire Internet, so it goes without saying that this view is unpopular. And downvoting is much easier (and faster, and consequence-free) than arguing the facts, especially when they're not on your side. If I weren't willing to accept this, I wouldn't post here. There's a lesson in there somewhere.
Personally I'm tempted to make the switch to Julia, but slow higher order functions, high churn in the core data infrastructure and no Pymc 3 are keeping me on pydata for a bit longer. I have numba to hold me over.
FWIW, as an American I have also become accustomed to a constant feeling of shame. Only difference is that my shame is mostly related to the terrible things that my country is responsible for in other countries and to other people in the last 100 years.
So, the cities that ban one time use bags, why not just legislate the use of paper bags. I mean, it's a win win, for the consumer and the environment. I know that reusing bags will always be preferable, but if it's not working because people keep buying the reusable bags and not reusing them, wouldn't it be easier to just use paper bags.
Yep, I think it's just poor phrasing.

I just read it as "it doesn't look like she pursued her career further"

Toxic vaccines? Come on!

Russia is actually having its own unique AIDS pandemy right now, contrary to the rest of the world who mostly figured that problem out. In Samara region, 3% of pregnant women are infected, scary isn't it? It's a pretty well developed area for the curious, not some obscure rural minority place.
It annoys me mildly that they switched the order of then/now half way through.

That's how reality works. Our ideals are that people don't murder each other. Even if they do, it's not a reason to throw away the concept and agree that some murdering is ok since people do it anyway.

So yeah - free speech is a thing we should aim for. Some disrespect it more than others and Russia is definitely not a great example to follow.
Since this thread isn't about police misconduct, let's assume not. If you insist, feel free to assume it was an older straight white male rumored to vote Republican bouncing around under my wheels.
Cynically speaking, that's a good sort of shame to have. Not so much if you aren't one, tho.

We probably should be working at deploying better human rights standards over the world, will make messing with other countries harder for anyone.
I agree with this for the top n% of programmers, but keep in mind there are orders of magnitude more "software engineers" employed today than back then, and many of them are employed in very narrow niches with very powerful tools. Certainly I've seen a great number of so-called programmers that would be utterly unemployable in such low-level environments as we had in the early 80s.
These free SSL services provide no more assurance than an email address. You're fooling yourself and lying to your users if you think this means anything security-wise.
I hope you realize we don't care whose laws they are--we regard that censorship as illegitimate. There's nationalism and chauvinism aplenty, but many of those you'll find criticizing Russia on this point frequently condemn our own governments when they veer into censorship.
>I think it [Perl] is still quite common in the bioinformatics field though!?

That's true - many day-to-day tasks in bioinformatics are more or less plain-text parsing [1], and Perl excels in parsing text and quickly using regular expressions. "My" generation of bioinformaticians doing data cleanup and analysis (20-30) uses Python, sometimes because plotting is nicer, the language is easier to get into, it's more commonly taught in universities, or other reasons - people older than that normally use Perl.

Both BioPython and BioPerl are extremely useful.

Oh, you're under the illusion that a for-profit business' primary responsibility is to maximize the value they provide to their customers? Sorry but that's not the way the world works. Now that could possibly be the case if we lived in a country where banks were allowed to compete on things like "treating the customer right" but we don't live in such a country; we live in the one where ever more annoying fees is the only game in town.

But none of this is relevant from your (and my) point of view; ours is really simple. We're completely aware of the murky rules that apply when your account gets close to $0 and the best solution is to not use the account in that case.
I ended up ordering a carton of the thin plastic bags off Amazon.

Before: I would get two uses out of them (carrying groceries and disposing of used cat litter)

After: I get a single use out of them.

The cat is happy either way, but which makes more sense?
I would imagine, for a beginner, in Python the difference between a list and a numpy array can be confusing. And in numpy, column vectors and row vectors are a different thing. Whereas in Octave/Matlab "everything just works" in the do-what-I-mean sense.

> The Matlab one-file-per-function thing

By the way, Octave does not have that limitation.
This feels like one of the kinds of questions where people on HN and elsewhere have started to feel the need to say "I'm genuinely curious..." because otherwise they fear people will assume that it's a rhetorical question.

I assumed that the parent comment was genuinely curious about whether people in this discussion think that governments should be allowed to set their own limitations on free speech. I've spent a lot of time helping people find technical means to access things that local legislation says they shouldn't, and promoting the work of people who do that, so apparently I think the answer is no. But I think most people worldwide tend to think the answer is yes, so it wouldn't be so unreasonable to parse the parent post as a question about what people in the discussion think.
Yes! We do know this. Which makes getting screwed a highly avoidable situation.

I'm not sure what you have in mind; Tartrazine is lemon yellow (although of course often mixed to create other colors)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tartrazine

The famously banned "red dye number whatever" I think was red dye number 2, banned in 1976 due to suspected carcinogenicity.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amaranth_(dye)

But there are so many dyes that I can't be sure what you meant.

I will say, though, that although many food additives are ultimately a bad idea in one way or another, historically most of the suspected carcinogens are not, because humans are resilient in ways that mice are not (in part due to two million years of cooked food, and in part due to testing using cancer-prone inbred mice for decades).
https://github.com/getify/You-Dont-Know-JS/blob/master/READM... is something that comes to my mind. In general, I think that there's a ton of the sort of material you're looking for! http://teropa.info/build-your-own-angular is another one. There's also some books and stuff on design patterns.
Both equity and debt have an element of moral hazard, and both provide some incentives to make the efficient choice about whether to get an education. A student taking on a loan for education (Australian style or otherwise) might make themselves worse off if their future income change from education is sufficiently low.

In my opinion, returns to college education are so high that the focus should be on having as many people go as possible, not on selection the efficient subset.

Drug making instructions are a gray area. Most countries have laws restricting what you're allowed to publish - and they're all a bit arbitrary and different. It sounds like Wikipedia is trying to push American values onto everyone else.

Imagine if Wikipedia was based in a country that didn't respect copyright. Would people in America be upset that it was getting banned for hosting pirated content?
My reasoning was that most people only have one email account and thus would be fine with the free version.

As to why in-app purchase, I wanted people to be able to use it first without payment. In-app purchase has been growing in popularity on the App Stores lately and I think this is why. I also feel it's cleaner not to have two separate versions on the App Store.

But thanks for the feedback, I guess you're right. It's misleading to call it free. I will amend the landing page to make it clearer.
Rust doesn't need such a mechanism, because by default Rust already has an enormous wealth of bulletproof data regarding the aliasing that goes on in your program. Controlling aliasing is in some sense what Rust is all about! :)

Preview is ok. It's clunky for looking at multiple images in a directory. Editing images is just weird - saving the image as you make edits, so you have to revert if you play with something - it breaks a 40 year old opn file-edit file-save file paradigm.

OK, grumpy person here. Awesome work for a young person, but. I launched the mac version and pressed enter. Just as I was forming the thought, oh, flappy bird, the flying thing went down into barrier. My macbook emitted a very loud and unpleasant sound. Then I decided I didn't want to play, so hit cmd-q. Nothing. cmd-q cmd-q. Nothing. Ctrl-click on the dock icon, oddly, "force quit" isn't there. Three-finger salute, select program, force-quit. Delete.

Haha. You began listing off the IDEs, and I was going to post suggesting the IntelliJ line. There are still some clunky annoyances and bloat in the software, but overall it is the best line of editors I have ever used.

You say you've forked out money for both PHPStorm/PyCharm and the expensive IntelliJ. I thought IntelliJ automatically supports all the language addons, so why separate copies of the language-specific bundles? Am I wrong about IntelliJ, or did you just happen to buy that one last?
I think his point is that he values to articles and so he wishes he could pay for them as he consumes them.

I kind of wish they let you pay for them after reading. Almost like tipping.
I started programming in PHP doing web development. I started on Windows ME/XP and primarily used FTP to a free PHP host. After a while I learned to setup PHP/Apache/MySQL on my desktop and continue withing just an editor. Never once really touched the Window cmd.exe. After playing with PHP for a long time I started learning about different frameworks. The one I picked up and used the CodeIgniter. The first time I really heard about using a CLI was when I was reading about frameworks and came across Zend. It was annoying to me that I needed to use some "weird" command line to generate files. Why couldn't I just make them in my editor?

It wasn't until I installed linux that I really started to play with any CLI. I honestly don't remember what got me into linux at the moment. I do remember one of the first things I did was learn to setup the system using a tutorial on howtoforge.com. I went through those tutorial many of times setting up my computer.

I was an avid gamer at the time, so I also had my desktop setup to dual boot Windows. After a while I got tired of switching between the two so I ended up taking an old Dell Optiplex 110 installing CentOS on it and trying to get Samba to work so I could mount my web directories on my Windows machine and still edit them, while having Apache serve them.

I did that for a while, then got a job and bought hosting with shell access.
>we don't care whose laws they are--we regard that censorship as illegitimate

who's we?

regardless of who you are, your regard of censorship by Russians in Russia is illegitimate. you are a bystander passing judgement, you are not an elected representative of the Russian people. an elected government in Russia made laws establishing the legal process governing this situation. your opinion is interesting but ultimately irrelevant to the problem. those who live and vote in Russia and have a voice on this thread are far more relevant to the discussion than you are.
IMO (I'm one of these Europeans) there's good reasons to avoid additives and there's bad ones. There seems to be a relationship between additives and the prevalence of obesity. That may not be causal, but at least when it comes to Artificial Flavours the mechanism of that happening seems pretty clear to me. Preservatives is something that seems to be much less needed in a typical European urban lifestyle (shopping for food at least 2 times a week). I like to differentiate additives in different groups:

Citric Acid. Should be just fine, apart from citrus allergy.

Other preservatives and nitrates. I'm weary about those, i.e. I try not to eat much. As an example, so far I haven't seen a good counterproof against the Hawaiian nitrate study [1]. If alternatives without such preservatives are available I will choose those (and instead take care to eat it quickly).

Artificial Flavouring. I try to limit these since it tricks me into eating more.

Vitamins. Don't care if they're in there, but I won't buy a product just because of added Vitamins - I'm eating enough fresh produce.

Things that make the product look/sell better but give me no benefit, e.g. food colouring. I'm trying to avoid those, it's probably fine but I don't see why I should eat something my body hasn't been exposed to during human evolution that doesn't have any benefit.

Take it with a grain of salt because this is from a pharmaceutical group, but this page claims the average body temperature of the Japanese was 36.89°C 50 years ago and that it was 36.20°C as of 2009.

Edit: although, that might as well be due to the aging population. That said, I have been told that my average (by France standards) temperature was "a little high".
Come on, guys. This is Hackernews.

In no way this is related to what this site is about. There're hundreds of site where stuff like this is supposed to be posted and discussed.

I wouldn't care if I wouldn't need to read to all those cs and startup unrelated headlines.
People with a "intermediate understanding of weightlifting and program design" have a long history of not having the faintest clue what they are talking about. Given how frequently fashions have shifted over the past 20-30 years, the armchair experts can't have all been right about whose routines are "terrible" and contain "massive flaws". Plyos or no plyos? O-lifts? HIT? Bodybuilding? Draw-ins, bracing, stabilization or old fashioned situps? Linear or non-linear periodization? 4-times a day training or "lots of rest"?

It's almost like there might be multiple ways of doing this stuff and that a lot of it doesn't matter nearly as much as people think, especially in a population that has to play a ton of their actual sport.

A lot of this IMO stems from confusing two populations, to wit: "elite athletes who are already beastly strong and conditioned, and training skills on a near full-time basis" and "the pool of perennial beginners/intermediates who make up the vast majority of sport science study populations, internet fora and personal training $$$".
And there is nothing wrong with C++. For linear algebra I use the armadillo library and it's really a nice wrapper around LAPACK and BLAS (and fast!). For some reason scientists are somewhat afraid of C++. For some reason you "have to" prototype in an "easier" language. Sure, you can't use C++ as a calculator as opposed to interpreted languages, but I see people being stuck with their computations at the prototyping language and eventually not bringing it to a faster platform.

Point being: C++ is not hard for scientific calculations.
If I understand the keyword correctly, it's not really needed in Rust. The Rust compiler keeps very close track of who has a reference (many immutable or one mutable) to a value. There isn't really "accidental" aliasing.
Thanks for the insights! Also here, this comment would make an interesting addition to a "Feedback" section at the end of the article to give people a broader view on this topic. May I have your permission to post your comment below the article?

Japanese and Koreans are basically the same people, genetically and linguistically. At least among the consensus of non Japanese researchers. Japanese uniqueness infects the humanities as well...
People on this site certainly would not be that upset, that is for sure.
Actual line printers were pretty quick and wouldn't have been running for long periods of time, and were likely to be tucked away in a back room somewhere. Now get a few 30-character-per-second DECWriters buzzing... And those were a vast improvement over the 10-CPS Teletypes that were the rage before video terminals were affordable.
It's a very low risk group of people compared to the general populace.
I'll take American values over applying random norms to encyclopedia contents.

Russian language speakers are not limited to Russia, there's tens of millions speakers in other countries. Wikipedia can't cave to demands from specific country. That is a road that will quickly lead to removal and censorship of any information not in line with what state TV in that country say, "or else".
Charitably, that would read "the government already has enough information to collect payments anyway, so it might as well do this, but should let private industry do the rest". Personally I don't think this is an appropriate use of the information the government has, or the government's power. In Australia they do it this way, but the government also does the loans. However your critique lacks substance as it ignores the legitimate reasons why some tasks are more appropriate for the government, and some for private industry, and repeats the tired old "privatize the profits, socialize the losses" schtick.
If a self proclaimed 'engineer' provides the same value as someone who leveled up on Code Academy, then they rightly should be replaced.
This article is complete bullshit.

Cramer read the email on the air at 6AM, a half hour before the markets opened. Clearly Tim Cook intended that this information be widely disseminated and Cramer did exactly that. It's not like Cook was giving Cramer private information to allow Cramer to trade ahead of the public.
I agree with you. However, note that many people who are using Python for writing scientific code make use of C/C++ in one way or the other (aside from NumPy, SciPy, and Theano). For example, many people write the "most intensive" computations down in C/C++/Cython if they call those functions frequently -- Python becomes a wrapper. One example that pops into my mind is khmer (https://github.com/dib-lab/khmer)
