In situations in which it is legal for you to employ deadly force, you won't be convicted of any criminal statute if you apply that force or any lesser force. That is, if you have an adequate reason to shoot to kill, a application of force which results in a wound is treated equally with one which results in death. The reverse, obviously, is not true.

In all cases, you may be sued civilly for a wrongful death, battery, or any number of other things. And lots of parties can bring the suit: the individual himself, various members of his family, your homeowners association, etc. N is fairly big, removing one of the N probably is not meaningful. Do these sort of civil suits tend to pay more for woundings than deaths? I have no data on this but would be surprised if that were the case.

I expect the only thing the OP meant is that slain person cannot testify the killer. This is self-evident but not really helpful. How is it different than "if you're going to rob someone, you should also kill them". I suppose this might be good practical, tactical advice for criminals but it isn't advancing the discussion here.
There are a number of properties that a carefully designed asymmetric backdoor is expected to have. NOBUS (Nobody But Us) and forward-secrecy are among them. With a forward-secret backdoor, if a reverse­-engineer breaches the key-generator, then the previously stolen information remains confidential.

If the key-generator embeds a secret key (for seed exfiltration), the backdoor design will never be robust against reverse engineering. In fact, exposure of the embedded key gives to the attacker the ability to retroactively factor with ease the moduli of public-keys generated in the past, and recover the private-keys.

The designs of Curve25519 and illusoryTLS embed only an elliptic-curve public-key. Therefore, the exploitation requires access to the associated private-key /i.e., NOBUS property).

For the longer story about the sorrow state of the Web PKI and the nitty gritty details on this cryptographic backdoor, you may want to review the illusoryTLS whitepaper http://conference.hitb.org/hitbsecconf2015ams/wp-content/upl...

There's a pretty large gap between "$5,000 a year is reasonable" and "AGPLv3 is usable" (or any GPL variant).

Speaking personally, the overwhelming majority of projects I work on can't ever go near GPL, because the project itself does not want to catch the awful GPL virus. Even open-source projects, nearly all of the ones I touch are not GPL but are some other, much more sane, license like Apache, BSD, or MIT.

I can understand where they're coming from but, for the life of me, I can't recall the last time I needed to restore such code after a long gap. If the code's that interesting, they can either leave it on a feature branch or refactor it out into a reusable module or the like.

This article is from 1992. Ganga is still unclean.
Dungeons in games have to do two things: serve as spaces of play, and provide verisimilitude, suspension of disbelief. Most often, the first takes high priority, and the second shows up only as set dressing: cells in a prison, waterways in a sewer, altars in a temple, etc.

If you look at classic tabletop dungeons, though--the games that gave us the modern meaning of "dungeon" as "enclosed space full of loot and danger" as opposed to the dictionary "underground prison"--you're more likely to see a balance between the two. Everything still serves the needs of play, but within that framework you'll find bunkrooms, kitchens, storage rooms, training areas, etc, etc, sometimes even with discussion of schedules and which characters are likely to be where when, which the players can attempt to learn and take advantage of. It's more work, but it does make the gameworld feel more immersive, more real.

Either approach is perfectly valid. In a fast-paced hack-and-slash game, you're not likely to stand still long enough to notice the set dressing; you just need a space in which to kill monsters, and anything more is a waste. In a more thoughtful/exploratory RPG, the game can really benefit from a thoughtful layout.

Now isn't it nice when we can disagree without getting all huffy and belligerent?
Not the Chinese influence, the Communist one. That said the morality or lack of same shown by some Chinese or Vietnamese people is far closer to the historical norm for humans than that shown by individuals in societies with rule of law. In pre state societies on average 15% of men died violently and morality was something that applied to the ingroup, not the outgroup.

For further reading on this I can highly recommend Steven Pinker's "Better Angels of Our Nature".

Why does an artificial limb feel like a heavy attachment, when a real limb doesn't?

What's the cognitive enhancement version of that - a screen reminding you of things isn't "making you smarter", presumably a neural implant reminding you of things isn't making you smarter either. And reminding you... how, calling for your attention? That would be distracting, not helping.

Discussions about blindness come with comments like "it's not like vision with your normal eyes closed, it's like seeing with the eye in your elbow". What kind of cyborg enhancement is going to make you better at cooking and predicting flavours and textures? Better at imagining engine innards? Better at deciding if you want to go somewhere or not?

The difference between a chip on your desk or in your head doing it with you looking at the results, and you doing it, but enhanced is huge.
Most people didn't read up to the core part of the article

> In China the compensation for killing a victim in a traffic accident is relatively small—amounts typically range from $30,000 to $50,000—and once payment is made, the matter is over. By contrast, paying for lifetime care for a disabled survivor can run into the millions. The Chinese press recently described how one disabled man received about $400,000 for the first 23 years of his care

It's not some Chinese specific culture problem, it's economics.

Or lie. My friend was rear ended recently. When the officer came he took both their statements and checked their insurance. She finds out after the crash the guy that rear ended her had let his car insurance lapse and lied to the officer about the validity of his coverage. Apparently the liar is also a law student at the local university.

This happened in the US and luckily my friend spent the money for uninsured motorist coverage on her policy.
I hate this genre of post that basically follows the line: "I went to <established project> and attempted to educate them. When they didn't listen I went and built something better. Now its clear they should have listened to me, and you should all abandon their software"

Almost always the scope of the new project is much smaller, different or much less mature than the project being bashed. Open source projects are not required to make changes to please any arbitrary user that wants to make changes, even if it's to bring technical improevements.

In NLTK's case, they have a whole book written around their project. Presumably significant changes to project structure and function would mean heavy documentation/writing work, and might not fit the goals of their project. Bashing them as a result just shows a complete lack of understanding of how/why people write and maintain software.
With Git, I find the pickaxe tool ("git log -S") to be useful for this purpose. From the man page:

-S<string>

Look for differences that change the number of occurrences of the specified string (i.e. addition/deletion) in a file. Intended for the scripter’s use.

It is useful when you’re looking for an exact block of code (like a struct), and want to know the history of that block since it first came into being: use the feature iteratively to feed the interesting block in the preimage back into -S, and keep going until you get the very first version of the block.
> Not if you set the penalty for killing even higher. The problem here is the order of the size of the penalties, not the penalty itself.

Increasing the penalty for the behavior the government created an incentive to engage in is completely backwards. When the source of the trouble is that the driver is stuck between a rock and a hard place, you don't improve the situation by making the hard place harder. It provides the even more perverse incentive to not only kill the victim but also any witnesses, or do other bad things in order to avoid getting caught.

Look at the root cause. You have an unexpected liability that is so large it makes the person desperate.

What you need then is mandatory insurance. Take the ruinous liability away and the motivation for killing the victim disappears.
It's a lot more than "habit", it's downright delicious!
Why would it be? The OBD-II port is inside the car, and police would presumably not be able to use it without a legitimate reason to search the car. I could see vehicle data being an invaluable tool in determining fault in car accidents or even providing the necessary clues to someone's life to figure out who murdered them.

Since it's offline and in person, it doesn't lend itself to anomaly detection or other scary mass surveillance scenarios. But it would be irresponsible for a criminal investigator not to gather all available evidence. I want police to stop trawling for possible lawbreakers, harassing people for driving while black, etc. and give investigations of actual crimes the resources they need. This tool empowers investigators. This is what real police work looks like.

The book is based on research that was flat made up by S.L.A. Marshall. There is no evidence he ever collected the data he used to spread that myth.

On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society, Dave Grossman

Quote From Wikipedia

The book is based on SLA Marshall's studies from World War II, which proposed that contrary to popular perception,[1] the majority of soldiers in war do not ever fire their weapons and that this is due to an innate resistance to killing. Based on Marshall's studies the military instituted training measures to break down this resistance and successfully raised soldiers' firing rates to over ninety percent during the war in Vietnam.[2]

Below quote from
http://www.warchronicle.com/us/combat_historians_wwii/marsha...

Emphasis not in original

This calculation assumes, however, that of all the questions Marshall might ask the soldiers of a rifle company during his interviews, he would unfailingly want to know who had fired his weapon and who had not. Such a question, posed interview after interview, would have signalled that Marshall was on a particular line of inquiry, and that regardless of the other information Marshall might discover, he was devoted to investigating this facet of combat performance. John Westover, usually in attendance during Marshall's sessions with the troops, does not recall Marshall's ever asking this question. Nor does Westover recall Marshall ever talking about ratios of weapons usage in their many private conversations. Marshall's own personal correspondence leaves no hint that he was ever collecting statistics. His surviving field notebooks show no signs of statistical compilations that would have been necessary to deduce a ratio as precise as Marshall reported later in Men Against Fire. The "systematic collection of data" that made Marshall's ratio of fire so authoritative appears to have been an invention.
In this case it's kill or get your life ruined/killed/become a slave to your debt.

The solution is rather simple though: make killing more expensive then injury. Best solution would be to reduce the cost of injury, and chuck the rest up to socialism. But it looks like communism China doesn't know socialism ?
The story in the intro doesnt match the well-publicized video of the accident, which is on YouTube. The driver does NOT switch into reverse, and the grandmother does not scream for the driver to stop. So unless there was another toddler run-over by a white vehicle in the same city, the driver just made shit up. WTH???
No it is not. Binge drinking is completely different (and harmless compared to alcoholism phenomenon). You usually grow out of binge drinking by your 18-19th birthday.

Alternate title: Why Americans intentionally kill home invaders.

It's a much more economical choice than suffering through a civil suit and paying hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages and medical bills to a criminal who, for all the court cares, wanted to rape and kill you. In the end, it's capitalism working as intended, top to bottom.
I would rather play a game involving a dungeon that was created out of realism than something like "this room is this size because the slime monster that lives here is what the PCs need to encounter now". Also I find your comment needlessly aggressive, in addition to it smelling like you are the only one that knows what is best for gamers and game designers.

I like the gist of this post, but it feels somewhat incomplete: NTLK is Apache licensed and spaCy is a dual-licensed (AGPL or money) commercial product. It's a good idea and an honest business, and I hope he succeeds, but I think it would've been more honest if the article had reflected that.

HN staff has made a concerted effort to eliminate gratuitous negativity [0]. It's simple in the case of your post -- eliminate the first and last paragraphs, keeping only the substantive argument ("These dungeons are indeed built by people for a reason... video games... not making a city builder or world sim".)

[0] the following comes from https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Be civil. Don't say things you wouldn't say in a face-to-face conversation. Avoid gratuitous negativity.

When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. E.g. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."
That's a very narrow perspective. There are (possibly literally) uncountably many other dimensions of culture than level of trust in society.
The thing is that "you can always find it back with Git" only holds when you're pretty proficient with Git (or know where to click in a UI like SourceTree, and even that takes a while to figure out). Many people basically don't get much further than commit, push, pull. For them, deleting means they need to go and ask someone like you for help to get things back. Commenting keeps them in control.

A rule that I like that is 100% enforceable: commented code is allowed, but there needs to be a comment above the code explaining why the code was commented. The effect in practice of this rule is that

- People delete code more and comment it less
- Readers know whether to need to pay attention to the commented code or not.

Point 1 happens the most. I begin to write down something like "keeping this code around because I'm not sure yet whether the new code is better" and then I backspace and delete the whole thing because I realise it clearly is.

Except when you don't, as was the case with some adults that I spent a large chunk of my life with. Binge drinking is a different kind of alcoholism, but it is still alcoholism.
Yes it's sickening, and also broadly understood to be a logical thing to do in China.

Let's play the devil's advocate and understand the motive behind it-

The average annual wage of a Chinese citizen is $7,500 USD, whereas the average annual wage of an American is $45,000.

Which means that $400,000 is worth 400,000 x 45,000 / 7,500 = $2,400,000 . And that's only over 23 years so far. You have to keep paying until the day the victim dies. That's the equivalent of $105,000 for Americans per year.

If you refuse to pay, the victim will take you to court and confiscate all your belongings. If you still refuse to get a job to pay, the court will throw your ass in jail and (here is the important part) force your family to pay, indefinitely, until the victim dies.

So are you going to have your family pays $105,000 per year while you sit in jail, or are you going to make sure the victim is dead?

Trust me when I say no one wants to kill another human, but when the law is lay against you in such way, well don't be surprise that humans can override their natural instinct.

(I am from Hong Kong that, while most people there do not share the same sentiment, but can understand the math behind this horrific logic.
Yep. As a non-American, it gets a little boring when people keep bringing America up in threads that aren't about America.
While I quite agree with your general point I think GCD is often under appreciated. Characterizing GCD as "mostly just a thread pool with a nice API" glosses over the key feature which Mike Ash specifically points out is not in this implementation: "the number of threads in the global pool scales up and down with the amount of work to be done and the CPU utilization of the system." Making the pool aware of the utilization of the whole system as a whole is the key feature of GCD. This also cuts to why something like this is best if it is created and promoted by the system vendor: the more GCD is utilized by the system software and third party applications the better the system will perform as a whole.
Where are you from? That might be a big deciding factor in what you should do.
I think we're too hung up on the number. It has nothing to do, really, with the dollar amount of the company - that's just a proxy for impact/scale. I could as easily say "Be President" or any other things that are at that scale.

It's a more worthwhile pursuit because your individual impact can be much wider.

> You sound like an addict just since you're talking quantities of caffeine.

I might have misunderstood what you were trying to say. If I did, I apologise in advance:

Because I get a day-long headache whenever I don't drink a caffeinated beverage for a day or so, I know that I'm a caffeine addict.

Speaking about volumes of ingestible substances with somewhat-known properties to provide a general idea of how much of a thing one is ingesting doesn't mean that one is an addict; it means that one is interested in attempting to convey information somewhat precisely. If you don't specify things in known quantities, you're left with vague and imprecise descriptors like "some", "not much", and "a lot".
It's easier to tout "simplicity and leanness" when you don't have to carry over all the baggage and backward compatibility accumulated over the years.

Well, why do we have to build large, clunky (NLP) libraries to start with? Build lean and mean components as UNIX programs or easily bindable libraries and use a reasonable input/output format. E.g. nearly every statistical dependency parser uses CoNLL-X for input/output. You'll have no trouble swapping out MaltParser, Turbo Parser, or my neural net dependency parser. They all use the same, boring, tabular format.

Sure, this could be more work for a beginner. So, a project could make a curated list / meta-package of components that are robust, state-of-the-art and work together.

Hawaii has dungeons. Defensive positions (and related) built after Pearl Harbor right into the rock. Dungeons exist insofar as dungeons are underground structures built by X that are now left to ruin and hiding strange creatures and hidden treasure. Those places exist on Oahu, among others.
