You're mistaken.

I neither appreciate the defaming mischaracterization resulting from your mistake, nor do I appreciate the casual and irresponsible manner in which you do so:

police made repeated mention of his surname.

Neither the original DallasNews article nor the TechCrunch article makes any such assertion about . The only person who draws that assertion is his dad, for which he provided no supporting evidence, and has a history of political provocation on this specific issue. (Not saying it's not true, but he's definitely not citing anything or anyone, so as presented, its only an opinion.)

"For her research, Pager pulled together four testers to pose as men looking for low-wage work. One white man and one black man would pose as job seekers without a criminal record, and another black man and white man would pose as job seekers with a criminal record. The negative credential of prison impaired the employment efforts of both the black man and the white man, but it impaired those of the black man more. Startlingly, the effect was not limited to the black man with a criminal record. The black man without a criminal record fared worse than the white man with one."

Yeah, it'd be interesting to also see how much less / more policing is required, drug rehab programs, anti-drug programs, loss economic behavior due to increased drug use, diversion of consumption from other taxable goods to MJ (say a decrease in alchohol tax revenue), etc. Hopefully much less policing is required, but I don't think it was particularly policed all that much to begin with. In fact, policing tax collection may have increased.

Tourism revenue might see a boost though, but that may decrease over time if other states adopt legalization. It also may be offset by an increase immigration of drug users and emigration of non drug users (assuming you can accurately predict non drug users are more economically valuable than drug users)

Just looking at the topline number I think is pretty meaningless. I think also couching legalization in term of economics might be setting things up for failure and it might make better sense to say it's just philosophically the right thing to do(??)
The NA data center can't decide how long to cache a page without consulting EU (and Asia, and SA, and etc.)?

Hang on: the route from school misdemeanor to criminal justice is well known and much talked about.

The combination of zero tolerance with police stationed in schools means many children end up with criminal records for very minor events.

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2012/jan/09/texas-police-sc...

> In 2010, the police gave close to 300,000 "Class C misdemeanour" tickets to children as young as six in Texas for offences in and out of school, which result in fines, community service and even prison time

That feels pretty common. It doesn't feel rare.

1. I never said "only in America". Racism, and classism are prevalent all over the world. My example even lists both a US and Foreign example. And racism isn't only with whites.

2. There is tons of evidence that whites get favored in pretty much everything from home loans borrowing rates, being accepted to rent a house, pay, and the number of times they get pulled over by a cop.

Pitting the global working class against one another in this fashion will simply drive down wages across the board. Taken to the extreme, eventually the American, European, and SE Asian will be equally poor while c-level executives and investors continue increasing their wealth.

AHN:How to find projects other than freelancing sites?

On the other hand, when you consider what money is an abstraction for - economic resources - inflation doesn't seem so unreasonable. Consider one fairly standardized resource unit - a barrel of oil. Crude oil lasts pretty well, but refined oil products definitely have a shelf life. Food commodities are of course perishable, and real estate can often lose use value if buildings aren't properly maintained. Of course this is not to say that all resources are perishable or perishable to similar degrees, but nature does impose 'use it or lose it' conditions of its own.

The other thing to consider is that any decision to wait has an opportunity cost, and the baseline opportunity cost is captured by the interest rate. Since nobody is going to stop charging interest to borrow money - even in sharia finance you pay a rental cost for money that is very very similar to interest - it would seem as if price inflation was an unavoidable characteristic of any system involving credit or loans.
The talk did mention (briefly) that monolithic codebase and monolithic binaries/software aren't strictly related. It's likely that monolithic software is easier in a monolithic codebase, but I don't think that microservices are harder in a monolithic codebase. Yes, we tend to statically link, but that's for library dependencies (i.e. things like the protocol buffers libraries/definitions). I don't work at all in this area, so this is a guess, but I imagine that it's extremely rare for unrelated teams to have application logic linked into the same binary - just making a release would involve coordination from so many teams :)
This was a logically beautiful response, thank you.

Yeah, seriously. Gotta watch those non-ROHS solder compounds hobbyists like to use. Also, through-hole pins can be sharp and scratchy.

This is part of the ridiculous ignorance that has a lot of us upset. At what point did a printed circuit board outside an enclosure become a "weapon"? Are the decision makers in our society (and exodust here) really so divorced from the techical world that they're informing their opinions based on the blinking gadgets in cartoons?

It's a circuit board!
Great to hear, best of luck!
That's the flip side of what I said above: "allowing reposts is a way of giving high-quality stories multiple chances at making the front page". It's pretty random which particular submission ends up making it.

We've thought about some form of karma distribution across every user who submitted the link, but that gets complex quickly and I'm not sure it's a good idea. In the meantime, the best approach is to realize that any individual submission is subject to randomness (i.e. /newest is a lottery), and the reliable way to gain karma over time is simply to enter more often, i.e. post more high-quality stories. That's best for the community too!

> PSU's arent light bulbs. A "350 watt" psu doens't draw 350 watts.

Yes, it will draw even more than 350 Watts at full load. 350 is the output power, whereas incandescent lightbulbs are measured in input power. So a 350 watt power supply, depending on efficiency of the PSU anyway, is probably using around 400-500 Watts at the wall at full load.
The new battery widget seems cool. It's clearly designed for the watch but it's nice it works for other connected devices. My wife never has any idea how charged her bluetooth headset is, she'd find this incredibly helpful.
I work three days a week, man, and actively resist working more. I am about as far from the type to live according to a universal office schedule as possible. What I'm saying still stands: "because I have kids" for a parent is no more of a valid excuse than "I have a thing I want to do" for anybody else. They are time you are not doing work you have (in theory) agreed to do, and to an employer they should be the same thing.
Irving, Texas is not typical of what most consider the deep south. It's part of the DFW metroplex which is in the nation's fourth largest population center[1], and it's in a county that went 57% for Obama in the 2012 election[2].

> Anyone with a background on classical economics realizes the U.S is much closer to socialism than capitalism.

Anyone should recognize that the dominant system of the modern developed world is a hybrid retaining largely the capitalist structures and property regime, but adopting many strategies with origins in socialism (including advocated in the communism of Marx and Engels) for mitigating some of the effects for which 19th Century socialists criticized the dominant system of the developed world at that time, for which they coined the term "capitalism".

Its probably not particularly productive to argue about whether this synthesis is "closer" to socialism or capitalism.

The fogginess that the author describes sounds like the 'keto-flu'. But if he was eating carbs from vegetables and fruits, he shouldn't have noticed this.

I also found this odd:
"I missed the sugar and milk in my coffee "
Wait, why were you eliminating milk? Sure it contains some sugars naturally, but they aren't "refined sugar" that the article is demonizing.

The mental clarity and focus he describes are very likely due to the increased quality of sleep. I have no explanation for why his sleep improved.

My own anecdote is that I ate a high fat, super-low carb diet for about a year, and one of the primary motivations was that one of my friends couldn't stop talking about the mental improvements (calmness, focus, short-term memory). Sadly, I experienced none of that. It makes me think that either it is placebo, or sugar/carbs really does affect some people badly, but others not so much. I will say that I found loosing weight to be effortless when eating that way (in fact I had to go off it when I wanted to gain some weight).

Finally, I hate it when people point out things like "(a large Big Mac meal deal has 85 grams of sugar—236% of your daily allowance). That means if I were to escape refined sugar, I was going to have to spend more time at home cooking fresh foods than I was used to. " but then ignore the breakdown:

Big Mac: 9g of sugar
Medium Fries: 0g of sugar
Large Coke-classic: 76g of sugar.

In other words, you don't need to cook more fresh foods, you could just get diet coke and double down on fries to get the calories you need without the sugar.

None of this is meant to say "No, we should all eat lots of sugar". I get that in the quantities that most people eat sugar, it's way too much. But I'm frustrated that we can't have an honest conversation about sugar and how it ought to be consumed. My personal opinion is that people should in general just stop drinking regular soda. If people did that, I suspect a fair amount of our sugar-consumption problems would just stop.

> Markets are, quite simply, not random.

In the strict statistical sense, no one has ever disputed this... EMH is about excess returns. Of course the market has long-term trends - they go up, because the world is getting richer. Specifically, they go up something like 7% annually in the USA. So if you work with daily returns, your randomness suite had better reject the hypothesis of randomness!
Why not simply give the moral hazard to the user by default? If I give someone a pen and paper and they use it to write a letter ordering a terrorist attack, am I morally responsible for the attack simply because I didn't get them to agree to use it lawfully?
The attempts to resolve cognitive dissonance by fanboys is a sight to behold. I'm not sure why people can't say "I prefer Apple, but iOS 9's split screen multitasking implementation is the same as Microsoft's from years ago". Rather than "It's not the same at all, because it's not about the feature, it's about how the feature is implemented" and all of these similar un-attackable arguments.

I think that advantages mentioned in the presentation about the monolithic codebase can be achieved if you have one source code server that is open to everyone (for example GitLab with most projects set to internal). Some of the tools will be easier to write for one repository than iterating over many, but that seems solvable.

The biggest advantage seems to be that when you are an author of a dependency you can propose upgrades to all services that use your application. It is not clear to me but it seems that for small changes you can just force that change on the code owners. This ensures that the dependency author incurs the cost of a change (as is done for API changes in the Linux kernel) and that you do not need to version the API of the dependency.

Interestingly Google recently started marking API's private by default. So they are moving in the direction of explicit API management.

As soon as you work with people that are outside your control (as is common in open source) you would need to version the API as well in my opinion.

when certain groups are underrepresented, then doing something proactive to improve that is not racism, it's fighting against it.

IMO social context is key. it's asymmetric, and to fix it, you need asymmetric action. if the scale is tipped to one side, then to balance it out, you add some weight to the other.
The real problem here is that everyone in positions of responsibility in the government -- the school and the police -- feel the need to justify their existence by doing... something. The default action of the school is to call the police, and then what? You have only 4 outcomes once the police are involved: 1) nothing, 2) citation, 3) arrest, 4) death. How many times do the police just walk away from something? That's right. So (1) isn't really an option at all. Citation? For what? They were trying, but you don't write tickets for making "hoax bombs." Killing a scrawny 14-year-old kid is extreme, even for the most jaded cop, so that leaves (3), arrest. Then the legal system has to justify IT'S existence, and, well, we know how this goes. Then the ACLU has to get all up in it, and probably CAIR, and the Justice Department. All because everyone has abandoned their common sense and replaced it with fear and deference to the State since 9/11. Thanks, Bush AND Obama.
You are not assured the binary corresponds to the source code. Understanding why and eliminating this misconception is vital for FOSS community to prevent the saboteurs from getting in a better position of attack. A reproducible build by X different parties only shows that the source code was converted into a binary the same way X times. The conversion process could be malicious, buggy, and so on. The binary might be defective or a rootkit. This work does not mean the binary is trustworthy.

Solving source-to-binary correspondence is a tougher problem whose solution I linked to in a comment below. You have to deal with malicious developers, interface issues, input validation, basic compiler bugs, optimization-induced security failures, undefined behavior, bootstrapping, and distribution. These projects mainly help with just that last part whereas most compiler-related, security failures are compiler/optimization bugs. Certifying compilers plus subversion-resistant development methodology and tools are only way to address others.

Note: If you're curious, the cutting edge of this research is the CertiCoq project that is trying to produce an executable straight from a specification in Coq theorem prover. Many projects that eliminate entire classes of problems rely on Coq for specification of behavior and/or proof it's correct. Examples are CompCert compiler, Quark browser, and Chlipala's Bedrock. These typically get extracted into ML for regular compilation. A verified, transformation from Coq specification to executable code would be quite a leap past that and the ultimate tool for proving correctness of other tools. Especially true given how many solutions like above are built with it. They might automatically benefit. Work in progress, though.
