It'd also be kinda neat if you could somehow tag your trust conditional on a content hash of the service's ToC or Privacy Policy.

It'd be rather impractical in today's world, although maybe machine readable policy formats would make matching easier additions/deletions of key items rather than just a text hash.

Balancing the user effort of reading and flagging each policy term (and considering all the weird implications of each change) vs the utility of being notified would be tricky though.

Maybe some sort of collaborative/curated lists of 'substantial T&C changes' similar to adblocker filterlists could be produced? (Or maybe they already are?)
Perhaps. But let's not jump to conclusions.
IIRC, the Latin word "ludus" means both "game" and "school". I do not think that is a coincidence.

The observation that one learns more easily in playful manner is probably well-known in (but hardly exclusive to) hacker circles. In a way, it is baffling that people would forget this, especially as it is not excactly a brand-new discovery.
This was (is?) a problem in Minecraft as well, when people were first trying to build CPUs in it.
The point is that there is demonstrated large-scale selection effects on the relevant time frames, and I fully expect more to emerge as we learn more and our powers of perception increase. It was not a dumb theory. It was merely wrong.

It's easy in hindsight to explain how obvious the correct answer is, but it doesn't count for much.

Thanks for the response; great points!
The problem with using trends, IMHO, rather than actual recorded figures, is that you may miss out on what's going on beneath the pretty lines and curves.

I ain't saying you're wrong because I don't have the figures to rebut that. I'm not even saying that the WoD is the major cause of violent crime, definitively, because I don't have those figures either.

Literally all I'm trying to say is that the analysis in the article seems short-sighted and incomplete because it only takes into account convictions directly for drug offences.
Does this whole article count? Does it say anything fundamentally new or is it just a Sanders puff piece (of the type that his followers are currently spamming to every darn social news site in existence) which just happens to have a vague programmingish flavour?
>(yes, universal healthcare and free education is easy, stop spending as much on the military as the next top 10 countries combined)

I think this statement further reinforces the GP's point. Simply "stop funding the military" isn't "easy" - and I doubt it is something that can be done over a 4 year term. Most of the military's budget are salaries, not just soldiers but likely millions of factory workers who produce a wide range of products for the military. While the question of "are the products they produce useful" is grey, the fact is you'd have to start by laying off millions of Americans and likely damaging the many smaller towns that have come to depend that income source. While its simple to just state "defund the military" the truth is much more complex and likely an even greater political minefield. If he does win the election, if he were to pull off that move, I doubt he would have the political strength to keep a trajectory going for a second election.

As much as I believe that free education should be a thing, I believe that is also a minefield. How will schools be funded? Does the government pay the inflated tuitions, or do we solve the student loan problem first? Will we be forced to massively scale back the amount of people who attend 4-year schools (currently around 70% in the US vs. 30% in Germany)?

And then to seemingly do this by "just taxing the rich"? It seems that people forget that the President just doesn't wake up one day and decide what to tax people at - it's in part decided by congress (as well as many of the other issues) - and it just seems unlikely that he'll make good on everything he is promising.

Personally, I believe Bernie to be a sound candidate, but um_ya has a point.

If you have multiple "tables" that belong together and you need one table to interpret the data in the other table, wouldn't you want them to be grouped together? If they are separate files on the filesystem there is always the risk of forgetting something when you share the data with somebody.

If you can put all the data of an experiment into one file, I think that is very convenient. After all, you don't have to read the complete HDF5 file if you are interested just in a subset of the data.
Thanks. It looks like they're still shipping it (eg, it's in /usr/bin on El Capitan which is otherwise protected) but they're not shipping headers. Do you have a link for them deprecating it?

> While the question of "are the products they produce useful" is grey, the fact is you'd have to start by laying off millions of Americans and likely damaging the many small towns that have come to depend that income source.

So we get to the crux that a large portion of the US military is a jobs and rural support program. Perhaps we'll start with the albatross that is the Joint Strike Fighter, estimated at costing over a $1 trillion dollars during its lifecycle.

> While its simple to just state "defund the military" the truth is much more complex and likely an even greater political minefield.

The truth isn't complex, but it is a political quagmire. You need someone with a spine to get the work done.

> As much as I believe that free education should be a thing, I believe that is also a minefield. How will schools be funded? Does the government pay the inflated tuitions, or do we solve the student loan problem first? Will we forced to massively scale back the amount of people who attend 4-year schools (currently around 70% in the US vs. 30% in Germany)?

The cost of education has skyrocketed because the US government backs loans you can't default on, therefore schools raise their rates (which is what happens when demand is inelastic, because you've been told all your life you can't get a well-paying job without a degree, and employers can require a degree without financial cost to them). You apply the same premise Medicare does: If your students don't learn, you don't get paid. We then take a page from the Affordable Care Act and require at least 85-90% of tuition funds to go to actual teaching, and not administration, leisure activities/clubs, and other non-core expenses.

Yes. I want a democratic candidate who is willing to call out Congress. Sanders is the only candidate with the character to do this.

> Personally, I believe Bernie to be a sound candidate, but um_ya has a point.

Of course he's a sound candidate. And no, um_ya has no point.
It's not black magic, NASA for example has specified exactly what someone eats over long periods so they needed to study this. Historically, Military's have also been interested in this and have developed satisfactory minimum standards ex: http://www.apd.army.mil/pdffiles/r40_25.pdf

That does not mean such things are Ideal just that they work acceptably well for young healthy people.
Why didn't Google buy them first ? does Google has something similar , externally or in research ?
There are lots of examples of countries that provide their citizens with universal healthcare, near free higher education and a strong social welfare system. It's not a joke if there are many examples of this.

It could be considered a joke in that it's unlikely his opponents in Congress would vote for such programs and that they'll ridicule it as you have. However, that does not negate that it is feasible to have such things or even reasonable to expect them.

I had to call to cancel my AT&T account recently. The conversation was pretty short: I just told the rep that I was moving in with a roommate that already had service set up so I didn't need to transfer my own service (only about ~20% a lie).

The frustrating and insulting part was that I spent a really long time on hold before I was connected with the rep and every few minutes while I was on hold an automated message played saying something along the lines of "You can pay your bill, start new service, or basically anything except cancel way faster by going online!" It was bad enough without the constant reminders that I was only sitting there on hold because I wanted the one thing AT&T won't let you do online.
My kids hate it when the schools have unstructured time. They love their free time, but want to do it at home or with their friends and not with all the kids they are forced to interact with at school. At school they want kids to behave predictably. That being said, I'm wondering if they wouldn't benefit from it because it will force them to deal with social situations they aren't comfortable with.

I think you answered your own question. The Hells Angels have been around for-...well, since just after WWII. Hunter S. Thompson wrote a book about them. Made somewhat famous when they provided security for a Rolling Stones concert in Altamont, CA and a concert-goer ended up getting stabbed. Much like Sons of Anarchy, the bikes are just a prop; they're really just organized crime. But they've been around, occasionally making news. I probably run in different circles than you do, but Hells Angels have always been popping up in the news from time to time over the years.

Are people watching _Sons of Anarchy_ and saying, "I want to join an outlaw biker gang?", and hence "on the rise" as you put it? I dunno, when _Goodfellas_ or _The Sopranos_ came out, did the mafia start to be "on the rise"? No. Such things might get more attention by the media when the topic comes out in popular media, which might sell more ads, so more stories are produced.
Yeah, GPLv3 AND LGPLv3 are the kiss of death for any corporate use. The patent clause in GPLv3 makes it legally impossible [1] to be used by any corporation that licenses patents; it's a completely broken clause, and GPLv3 should be banished.

Without a BSD/MIT/ASL2 license as an option, you'll never see this in Internet Explorer or Chrome. Probably not even Firefox.

[1] Companies license patents in bulk from other companies for their own use all the time. They don't have the right to sublicense those patents to others; they're just protected against any lawsuits relevant to the use of the ideas in those patents. Yet GPLv3 requires that they provide a free license to any patent that they have a license to that might be required to use GPLv3 source code. So it's requiring them to do something they legally can't do. Selecting GPLv3 means that no large company will ever touch it as a result.
You know what helps even more? Getting real, intense exercise for twenty minutes or more three times or more each week. That's one hour. Anyone can afford it, no matter what job or other responsibilities they have. You can even take a shower afterward, instead of progressively working up a sweat throughout the day. I'm sure coworkers (or family members) really appreciate that.

Sitting continuously for long periods really isn't such a great idea. Stepping away from the monitor periodically is beneficial for a whole lot of reasons. Doing a few pushups while you're at it sure won't hurt, but - by itself - won't get you in particularly good shape either. Let's not oversell it.
Strictly speaking, Finland is not a mono-culture. Finland has people from Finnish-speaking and Swedish-speaking cultures.

Your objection has been raised before. As http://www.smithsonianmag.com/innovation/why-are-finlands-sc... points out:

> Some of the more vocal conservative reformers in America have grown weary of the “We-Love-Finland crowd” or so-called Finnish Envy. They argue that the United States has little to learn from a country of only 5.4 million people—4 percent of them foreign born. Yet the Finns seem to be onto something. Neighboring Norway, a country of similar size, embraces education policies similar to those in the United States. It employs standardized exams and teachers without master’s degrees. And like America, Norway’s PISA scores have been stalled in the middle ranges for the better part of a decade.
It's certainly feasible, but not by the sorts of taxes he proposes.

European countries make up the difference in revenue by having much higher taxation on the middle class. The middle class in Europe doesn't get free healthcare and free education. They pay for it in higher taxation.

So unless the Bern wants a significant VAT tax and increased income taxes on middle income earners, his plans are crazy.
Ask HN: Would you use a service that embeds famous quotation on your website?
I was re-designing my website and needed to embed quotations on my website. I wanted the quotations to change dynamically. I didn't want myself to write a specific module in my website as I wanted it to be completely static. I tried to find if such a service exists but could not. So I went ahead and wrote the service myself.

User can embed a script tag in their website and the that script will fetch settings defined by users and embed the quotation in the web page.

I would like to know if anyone would like to use this service for his/her website ?
I use Jupyter as a lab notebook, and it's OK to enter data by hand in an array literal, paste it from a spreadsheet (it comes in as tab delimited text, which is easy to mung) or read it from a text file.

But an edit-able tabular data array (that was also accessible programmatically) would be really super.

Those are the newer libraries you're _suppose_ to use, rather than OpenSSL. It's mostly older applications and codebases that limit Apple. I could imagine a stop-point but Apple obsesses a lot about not breaking backwards compatibility.

Don't forget their version is ancient (API-wise; they back-port fixes) and LibreSSL is much newer, so it's not a drop in replacement for such an old version.
Yes, handling it on the server side sounds like a reasonable workaround. For example photo.flif?res=1x returns Content-Length: 100000, and photo.flif?res=2x returns Content-Length: 200000, with both returning data from the same file.

I'm of the same mind about Excel, which is why I don't use it any more. I don't like anything where there are hidden layers of meaning that are easy to overlook. I like Jupyter because everything is right there in front of you.

Another shortcoming of spreadsheets is that they don't solve what I consider to be the Fundamental Problem of Programming: How to keep your sanity when your project gets bigger than one screen or one page. Of course programmers have lots of ways to deal with this, by creating named abstractions, subroutines, and so forth. It's why we can write million line programs today. But how it's solved in Excel seems incredibly clumsy by comparison. Of course you can adopt the conventions of programming by using Visual Basic, but that seems to occur quite rarely.

> assaults on children/young people are a problem, and parents worry.

Statistically, they are a very low problem if we disregard assaults by family members. It may be that, in the US, CPS may be more of a hazard than strangers at this point.

The fact that the US is pedestrian-hostile is more problematic.

For any given segment of a trip in Japan, there are probably other adult pedestrians walking that segment as well. If a child simply "falls in" with a group going the right way for several small segments sequentially, they will have the right behavior.

In the US, there are very likely not fellow pedestrians for children to emulate except in the very biggest cities.
Mono-culturalism probably doesn't hurt, but their exceptional social safety net is probably more important. A lot of the problems that American students face very clearly start at their improverished homes.

Also, AFAIK, the sort of extreme rich-poor divides between schools that is so characteristic of the USA is far less common in Scandanavian countries.

But there is a lot to be said for smart, well-trained teachers. It all starts and ends there.
Whenever I say this to people, they shake their head like I am crazy. I don't care, it's a deal breaker!
> In Japan, every apartment building of size has maintenance people who stay several years and know all the children in the neighborhood, and recognize strangers. Every supermarket has parking attendants. Every construction site has "guards" to make sure people cross the area safely. Every train station has staff around.

It is difficult to have this when a man interacting with a small child is at risk of being accused of being a pedophile.

I agree with user hololy, I'm a little confused as to what you're trying to get at here.

You may have had a positive experience, and that's great. I'm genuinely happy that you have enjoyed being a Comcast customer, and I don't say that with any sarcasm. Hell, as far as general internet service goes, I'm content with the product that they provide. My experiences with their customer support are personal, just as yours are - you've clearly spoken with some level-headed, respectful representatives. I, however, had to argue with one for thirty minutes when I told them that my landlord has already setup Comcast for me at my new home - the representative insisted that it would "benefit me" to transfer my service and have two internet connections at the house.

All I'm saying is that everybody's experience is different, depending upon the representative they speak with. Some reps are great, but on the whole, the bulk appear to be subpar.

Now, to answer your question. Yes, I would say their support is worse. I had bad experiences with Chase, too, but even they didn't come close to what I've had to put up with Comcast. The only large corporations I deal with these days are Google, T-Mobile and Nissan. All three have exemplary customer service compared to Comcast.
Actually, FLAC doesn't have a very good compression ratio (e.g. see [1]). It does have features that are very important for audio streams: it can be quickly resynced and AFAIK decompression proceeds at nearly-constant speed.
