There are two conflating issues in your example: privacy and economic externalities. Taxing soda does not violate anyone's privacy while monitoring sexual practices does.

Although hard to imagine, if we can somehow develop a system to charge people more for unsafe sex while perfectly anonymizing it, I do not see how it would be different from carbon tax in principle.

> 1) In countries where health costs are at least partly absorbed by everyone, then it does have a right.

I worry that this sort of thinking might end up like the Commerce Clause[1]. Just as there are many actions that affect interstate commerce, there are many behaviors that affect life expectancy. Using that justification to allow the government to imprison or tax people seems (to me, at least) a recipe for disaster.

Let me be more concrete: If you're going to use that argument to tax soda, you should also be in favor of taxing things that cause more harm to public health than soda. Should we tax people for being sedentary? Should we tax people for being old? Should we tax obesity? These are the major costs for health care. Soda is a rounding error.

Most sex practices are not a direct financial transaction. For the ones that do include a financial transaction, sure, tax it!
Oh yeah I saw something on the Avahi mailing list the other day about that:

You: The city is stealing my car without probable cause in an attempt to extort money from me.

City DA: No they're not.

What's your recourse here? Call the FBI or federal prosecutor and report an organized crime syndicate being run by corrupt law enforcement professionals? Because... isn't that what this is?

Is there any onus, or even incentive, for them to listen and investigate? Is the only way to redress the problems a civil lawsuit against the City citing Bivens and various appellate court principles like malicious prosecution? Because grand theft auto, extortion, racketeering, and fabrication of evidence / perjury are not civil offenses, and conservative readings of the concept of 'standing', as I understand it, make it rather difficult to challenge the authors of a failed / withdrawn prosecution in order to get at the legal principles which triggered it.

Concepts like this one, as well as things like civil asset forfeiture, are so clearly in direct violation of the Constitution that at some point, it's not legitimate to shelter enforcers under cover of "just following orders". We still have laws (Constitutional and common), and Peabody, Minnesota doesn't have the right to do things like put all the gay residents to death by legislative fiat & judicial compliance; If you found this occurring, you wouldn't need to file a lawsuit alleging that a constitutional overreach has been committed and demanding merely that the policy cease to be in effect. Instead, you would get some overriding authority, like the state police or the FBI, to run in with SWAT teams and arrest and prosecute every last person peripherally attached to the Peabody legislature or judiciary or law enforcement. For murder.

No amount of 'adopting selective prosecution based on what we can win, since the courts recognized a valid affirmative defence' or 'changing training programs to be more in line with civil rights' or 'firing/reprimanding the officers involved and settling a civil suit' makes killing the gay population of Peabody less of a crime, and no amount of lawsuit would be required to get that recognized.
Fashion, dance, most of automobiles, and recipes don't have copyright protection.

Are you honestly saying that fashion, choreography, dance and cooking is void of original unique things? That they lack creativity? Are you saying that nobody produces automobiles because they don't have a greater incentive of protections?

I think you have a homo-economicus way of looking at the world. The reality actually seem to be something quite different.

The premise for what copyright is supposed to do is based upon a view of the world that really doesn't seem to actually exist. It's a theory based on an elaborate fiction. That's a terrible way to run a society.

Having either an adversarial system or constitutional court doesn't stop a government from using its power to do illegal, immoral, secretive, or plainly unconstitutional things.

Historically, and across pretty much every nation that has ever existed, governments have routinely chosen to disobey their own laws, do terrible things in secret, and so on.

I also fail to see how a constitutional court prevents FISA from existing if you have executive orders and national security doctrine (the two things that made FISA and the NSA spying possible). You'd need to throw out a lot of things to make a constitutional court work. As it is, national security doctrine would simply bypass a constitutional court check when it comes to creating FISA. You would have to try to elevate it above all possible counter considerations, and good luck with that.

If you're going to build a Raft demo, perhaps it should show strong consistency? Memcache supports compare-and-swap, so a distributed KV store speaking the memcache text protocol, and implementing a distributed CAS sounds like a great place to start!

To my knowledge, a very simple distributed CAS doesn't exist, and there are plenty of memcache clients, so I also think this might maximize the odds people use hraftd in their production environments at some point.

I think the mistake you're making is thinking that the value of houses in SF is dominated by the value of their structure. Rather, it's dominated by the value of the land they occupy. In the case of the $2M sub-standard SF house in a desirable area you mentioned, if it burned down to the ground, the land would still be worth well north of a million dollars.

As will I. Over 1,000+ pages of source is believable and still one hell of an accomplishment at the quality level. I still consider the possibility that the stack included specs of successful or error states given the importance of those for a working program. I know she liked including tons of error handling in everything. Most might have done that with tests but she did it in primary stuff. So, there's room for stuff in there that's not pure source as modern developers would consider.

Except that's not what the law actually states. If you make over a certain threshold you have to pay income tax on it to the U.S. even if the income is from working in an overseas company, paid in a different currency, and stored in a bank in that country and you don't spend even a single minute of your time in the U.S. for that year.

It's not sensible if none of your other coworkers have to worry about this and they're all foreign citizens as well. It's a stupid tax policy that is basically a shakedown.

Tl;dr: No. Wrong output format, wrong training set, wrong input.

To create a classifier that does that, you'd need a labeled set - i.e. someone would have to go through and say "this headline is 3 clickbaits. This other headline is 8 clickbaits". You could also sort between clickbaity and non-clickbaity, but that would still require manual work.

You could get that programatically through a few different means, but you'd need a lot more than just headlines.

It also probably wouldn't be a good idea to use a RNN - it doesn't suit the data format well. It'd be better to use a neural network (non-recurrent) or logistic regression with the entire headline as input.

Fortunately, it'll converge on a good solution a LOT faster - fewer parameters to tune + simpler output = fewer examples needed to figure out what's going on - so you might be able to get something that has plausible levels of accuracy with a day or two of set labeling (estimate brought to you by my ass).

Here is a HN submission (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8448929) for the How Wolves Change Rivers video that is mentioned in this article. (It was posted exactly a year ago, a coincidental anniversary of the topic here on HN).

There are some good discussions and great links to related content including the TED talk on 'rewilding' by George Monbiot who narrates the How Wolves Change Rivers video.
Perhaps your concern is slightly distinct, but the article addresses the discovery concerns you have given.

Specifically, a LANSync peer can only request blocks for which it shares namespace authorization. Each distinct shared folder context (e.g. a folder shared between users, a whole Dropbox folder authorized for a single user on multiple computers) has a different namespace, and that namespace is associated with a keypair, issued by Dropbox. Block discovery and exchange is conducted over HTTPS, with each client and server having to use the key associated with the namespace of the block they wish to exchange.

Since Dropbox clients/peers use SNI to identify the namespace, an eavesdropper on the network could know that two computers have access to the same namespace/folder (it is not clear from the post if the namespace contains any specific identifying information beyond its uniqueness), but not which files (or, more accurately, blocks) that namespace contained. A user who knew the key for a namespace could identify blocks being exchanged, but such a user would already have owned the Dropbox installation enough to have access not just to the list of files but to the files themselves.
I agree. Every verse in the New Testament has to be viewed through the lens of Mark 12:30-31.

> extrapolates the current pay period out into the full calendar year and then deducts taxes at that rate

For US Federal taxes, thats generally how its supposed to work - see [1], and for some exceptions [2].

> small gross increase [...] resulting in a net decrease in pay for that pay period

If a payroll system is doing that, its not for the reason you cite. US tax rates are such that an increase in gross pay always results in an increase in net pay, and that doesn't change when you divide gross and net by 24 (or however many pay periods you have each year).

"To be lying in your tent in the middle of nowhere and to hear a wolf cry. Now that must be quite something."

The first time? Maybe. It quickly becomes distracting, annoying, and (depending on the distance) frightening.

The only decent argument I can find for reintroducing wolves is that it would help keep wild deer in check. But the costs of wolves are far higher than the costs of too many deer. Deer don't kill livestock or humans. And of course, wolves aren't the only solution to reducing the deer population. They can be culled in other ways. The whole thing seems like a non-starter to me.

I think most who are in favor of reintroducing wolves are just infatuated with charismatic megafauna. "Wolves look cool and they used to be on the island, so let's bring 'em back." …or something like that. Then they rationalize their conclusion with arguments about tourism and culling deer.

What if instead of wolves, it was crocodiles that had been eradicated from Scotland? I seriously doubt there would be as many supporters, yet the same arguments for reintroduction apply.

Wish more people would simply call it what it is. If we can't even do that, certainly we'll never see an actual prosecution.

The name of a thing is important, and calling it exactly 'grand theft auto, extortion, racketeering, and fabrication of evidence / perjury' versus something like 'civil asset forfeiture' or in this case, not even that, it's a glorified falsified parking ticket!

I mean, how did this actually play out in court? "So, Your Honor, you're not going to believe what happened. I was going to drop my niece at the airport and these thugs pulled me out of the car, showed me a badge, impounded my car, and now want me to sign a document and pay them a stack of cash to get it back." Prosecutor, "Actually, we employ 170 people to do this, and we've done it 21,000 times".

It's not that easy. First, which sites are "sites like this" varies from user to user. Second, in the majority of cases it's possible to read the article, just annoying. Third, HN optimizes for good articles, and good articles do appear on sites like this.

I agree, React is fairly simple to use on it's own, but the Flux pattern / framework is really where the complexity comes in, IMO. I refer to them together b/c you rarely see one without the other. My general feeling is, Flux seems like an excellent solution for some of the problems Facebook has -- their inbox for example, where you have multiple components on a page that need to react when external events happen (a message is sent, a message is received, etc). My feeling is that many would-be cargo-cult-ers don't have problems at this level of complexity. Most of them are doing basic CRUD operations, and using a needlessly complex framework to do it.

Hey folks, Fulfil.IO is an omni channel ERP for retailers.

With customers shopping on any channel they want be it social media, store, website, marketplaces, kiosks or phone​ but ​retailers face a tough time managing inventory, fulfilling orders efficiently and offering post sales service (shipping address change, add item to order, refunds, exchanges) as there is never a single point of truth.

Fulfil.IO solves this problem by offering retailers a robust | scalable | affordable platform on SaaS with seamless channels integration, unified customer data & integrated fulfilment strategy.
It's less about chosing passages, and more about reading them in the context of the whole book they're in. A passage by itself may sound stark, but the wole chapter is in fact toning it down.
Loosely speaking, God/"Moses" put a bunch of rules in play for the early Israelites. Then Jesus came around and said "it's all about love." Then Paul clarified Jesus with more specific directions. So Paul > Jesus > Moses, mostly because of chronology.

Let's take gay people as an example. Moses said no, Jesus said it's all about love, and Paul said no to gay people. So even though Jesus is always right, in practice he was usually pretty vague, so Paul ends up with the overrule.

*Side note: some people believe that Paul and/or Moses were only referring to gay people in the context of pagan ritual sex, and that Jesus's "love" should take priority. I'd believe Moses was about pagan sex and Paul is non-canon if I were still Christian. This shows that there's plenty of room for interpretation. The previous paragraphs are simply the evangelical mainstream interpretation.

Edit: A cynical me would also say that interpretation depends on agenda.

Killing livestock is an issue, but killing humans isn't really; it's essentially in the "freak accident" category, and less common than even most rare sources of freak accidents. So far, at least, the reintroduction process in the lower-48 U.S. states (which has been going on for about 20 years) hasn't led to any attacks on humans at all. If you include Alaska, which has a native wolf population, there's been exactly one wolf fatality in the U.S. in the entire period since WW2.

As for crocodiles: There's quite a bit of effort being expended to protect the declining crocodile population in Florida, so I don't think it'd be categorically out of the question.
