Primate authority comes from (at least) two methods or paths, dominance and prestige. I guess if you want a bad one line summary, dominance is management or in its more extreme form its like an overseer with a whip vs prestige is leadership or in its more extreme form its like hero worship. Because of long term memory for revenge purposes, and easy to use lethal weapons have been invented, prestige is way more important for humans than most any other animal, although some animals do use prestige signalling, just none quite as much as people. The animal world is mostly dominance ordered.

Anyway, grand op is claiming prestige signaling isn't going to provide results (which is incredibly unlikely in a human pack; maybe a wolf pack, sure, or if the human participants are doin it wrong or are crazy, sure) and you're claiming prestige signalling usually leads to prestige results, so op is wrong and you're right but it doesn't matter because you're talking past each other on separate topics. Ironically it doesn't matter because as you correctly point out, dominance and prestige results are more or less the same most of the time.

The hundred year old manual is talking something totally different from both of you, that there's a moral or ethical need for both results to be exactly identical or else things are going to get unpleasant because prestige means are generally way more pleasant than dominance means. She can either play along with her side of the prestige strategy or unfortunately the dominance strategy will inevitably end up getting played and that's no fun.

Assuming its your responsibility to water the horses, you properly lead a horse to water and it refuses to drink, that's just not going to be fun for anyone involved, it really is the horses job or duty to drink after its been properly led. Note its not just leadership, its leadership with the positive adjectives applied; no fair weaseling out on the obedience obligation due to poor leadership excuses if by the very definition of the claim it only follows from good leadership.

Good luck defining good leadership.

There's also some civilization wide social contract philosophy about good leadership inherently being owed obedience by the nature of the leadership being good, and no other justification is necessary assuming the leadership is good, blah blah blah, all kind of in opposition to the concept of the divine right of kings and hereditary monarchy. To some extent this is the moral justification of democracy, you have to obey the good leader you selected, assuming its not all a sham like modern elections, etc. And this is just applying that large scale societal stuff to a tiny family, for better or worse. This makes it a scaling problem and HN loves scaling problems.

"... due to sharing some design elements..."

But someone downthread said the .co.uk version was not blocked (before you unblocked the .com). Are you implying the .co.uk version did not have the same "design elements"?

As to your proposed argument, I think selectively blocking well-reasoned analysis by law professors and letting memes go unblocked makes the most sense for your company.
> XML is not schemaless.

Yes, it is, though there are a variety of schema schemes that can be used with XML.

> It was designed to be extensible through schemas.

It was designed to be extensible through custom tags (in fact, all tags are custom tags); it can be optionally be restricted through the use of schemas, not extended.

> XML also doesn't suffer the problems of a limited set of pre-defined types that JSON has.

Yes, it does, with an even smaller number of types. (Strings, with a couple different representations.)

> Its type system is extensible through schemas.

No, it isn't. Its structure can be constrained through schemas (XML Schema, Relax NG, etc.), which can provide a means of modeling a different type system on top of the data structure supported by XML, but that isn't really "extending" XMLs type system any more than using a Haskell compiler to generate x86 machine code is "extending" the type system of x86 machine code; its just providing a completely separate type system on a different layer.

Also, no matter how you view this, its not a distinction between XML and JSON, since you can do the same thing with JSON, and just as there are a variety of different schema standards that do this for XML, there are a variety that do the same thing for JSON.

You're using up an absolutely vast area in your building for bike paths.
You also are forced to build everything into a ramp shape so that the bikes can get in.

Oh and alternative solution (put a bike garage on the ground floor). Is cheaper and probably nicer to live in since the people on the top floor can use lifts instead of riding an extra couple of k up hill.
Apologies for the brevity, I'm on a tablet with an annoying keyboard.

There's two things that make GPS trickier to jam:

- it's spread spectrum with relatively hign coding gain. The signal itself is pretty much imperceptible above the noise floor until you phase lock onto the signal and despread. A really effective jammer would likely need to send out a similar but corrupted signal, not just noise.

- we know where the signal will be coming from. First that it will be coming from the sky, and once we have a copy of the almanac, we've got a pretty good idea where in the sky each SV will be. Directional antennas could further mitigate the jamming.

You're not wrong about it being jammable, but it's not trivially simple.

p.s. (because kb sucks) While the spreading codes for the civilian signal are commonly available and could be replicated in a jammer, the military spreading codes are not available. A well-funded adversary might be able to get ahold of them anyway, but it'd take some effort/treason.
In manufacturing Minitab and JMP are used for data analysis (histograms, control charts, DOE analysis, etc.) They are much easier to use and provide helpful tutorials on the actual analysis.

What features or workflow does R or Pandas/Numpy offer to manufacturing that Minatab & JMP can't?

I have found Renjin quite useful in the past, and I love the motivation behind the project. I know that the guys at Bedatadriven hope to improve upon its performance, however it does not always (or often, depending on how you use R) outperform GNU R. Some great changes have been made lately (http://www.renjin.org/blog/2015-06-28-renjin-at-rsummit-2015...), so I hope to see Renjin's performance progress beyond GNU R across the board. I actually contributed Renjin's current PRNG – a Java translation of GNU R's – which was my first experience getting under R's hood.

The Purdue project you linked looks quite interesting. Unfortunately, development appears to have stagnated: https://github.com/allr/purdue-fastr

Another important aspect that Renjin contributes is the packages ecosystem: http://packages.renjin.org/
As a reminder, The Golden Gate Bridge, built in 1933, cost $1.5 billion in todays dollars, is 8,980 feet long (to the 11,616 feet of the eastern span) is 746 feet tall (to the 525 feet of the eastern span) and is tremendously architecturally significant, rather than looking like a highway onramp with a small sail plopped on one end of it.

That's from Wikipedia:

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

>In 1981, the USMB reported to Congress that it lacked the clear Congressional mandate necessary to bring about national conversion. Because of this ineffectiveness and an effort of the Reagan administration — particularly from Lyn Nofziger's efforts (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/03... ) as a White House advisor to the Reagan administration, to reduce federal spending — the USMB was disbanded in the autumn of 1982.

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

>The metrification assessment board existed from 1975 to 1982, ending when President Ronald Reagan abolished it, largely on the recommendation of Frank Mankiewicz and Lyn Nofziger. Overall, it made little impact on implementing the metric system in the United States.

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

>According to Mankiewicz, he prompted Lyn Nofziger's efforts to halt the 1970s U.S. metrication effort, who convinced President Ronald Reagan to shut down the United States Metric Board

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/03...

> So, during that first year of Reagan's presidency, I sent Lyn another copy of a column I had written a few years before, attacking and satirizing the attempt by some organized do-gooders to inflict the metric system on Americans, a view of mine Lyn had enthusiastically endorsed. So, in 1981, when I reminded him that a commission actually existed to further the adoption of the metric system and the damage we both felt this could wreak on our country, Lyn went to work with material provided by each of us. He was able, he told me, to prevail on the president to dissolve the commission and make sure that, at least in the Reagan presidency, there would be no further effort to sell metric.

>It was a signal victory, but one which we recognized would have to be shared only between the two of us, lest public opinion once again began to head toward metrification.
One problem that immediately stands out to me is how sweaty everyone would be. I'm in shape but riding around a city on a hot day would have me drenched.
Actually I was referring to the ability for barely researched stereotypes of past or foreign cultures to spread and become a moral cause. That's been going on for centuries all over the globe. It picked up speed with the industrialization of information exchange, and now we can all laugh at how stupid the Victorians, the Communists and the American Revolutionaries were without ever having to consider they were successful for some reason or another.

I hope you haven't made your decision yet because the comments in this thread are extremely misleading.

First of all, please remember that nothing is faster than a properly written vanilla js application. Every layer of abstraction you add will necessarily slow your app down. You gain convenience at the cost of performance.

So unless you're dealing with major issues in terms of complexity and understandability, I would ask yourself why you need to have a shiny new framework in the first place?

But let's assume you do. You're in the same boat that a lot of companies and developers are in these days - what the hell framework do I choose when a new one seems to pop up every day? Spoiler: there's no right answer. I assume you want your app to be future proof, which is a fools errand, but supposing you're a fool like the rest of us then my humble advice to you would be to read up on web components and choose the framework that embraces them the best.

That would narrow your choices down to Angular 2, Polymer, Aurelia, and probably some other less mainstream frameworks I haven't heard about. Angular 2 would be a fine choice but it's going to be a pretty radical shift to the way people do things, but it will come with a reward of up to 10-15 times the performance of angular 1.+ and react. Oh, and it's not ready yet.

Aurelia takes a lot of its queues from Angular 2 but it's basically production ready today and far simpler in terms of its complexity and API. It's all-in on web components and has a very enthusiastic and helpful community surrounding it.

Polymer is Google's big bet on the future of web development. It's at 1.1 and production ready, and will be extremely well funded for years to come. It's basically sugar for creating web components. It's similar to React in that they encourage you to build your application out of nested components. It's different from React in that it embraces the web components spec and the DOM. React has explicitly stated multiple times that they have no interest in web components.

Polymer isn't quite as simple to get up and running with as React and Google needs to address that, but it's getting better. But the big thing the polymer team has going for them is that they literally share desks with the Chrome dev team, and as such they have their finger on the pulse of cutting edge web browser technology. The React core team doesn't have that luxury, so they've taken the radical approach of trying to abstract away the DOM completely. It's an intriguing approach but in my humble opinion it's hostile to the open web. Make no mistake that Facebook is doing what's best for Facebook. Google is doing what's best for Google, too, but that happens to align with the goals of the open web.

Anyways, I hope you don't just jump onto the React bandwagon before giving your research a little more time. HN is an echo-chamber and the word "React" is just the latest echo you see bouncing around.
In a nutshell, React encourages you to build applications with unidirectional flow and a mostly immutable style of data handling. React, however, mostly focuses this effort on the View. Cycle extends this encouragement to the entire application architecture and RxJS is its means of doing so in a consistent, reasonable way.

Pros to Cycle over React is that it is truly more "Reactive" in the best of ways, and in a way that is easier to work with (RxJS has a standard set of operators for building and composing reactive Observables that are shared with other platforms).

Cons to Cycle over React is that you lose "the Facebook effect". It's much more a project of love than of big enterprise and so it's a bit harder to learn and a bit more complicated at first glance. (That said, RxJS itself and all the Reactive Extensions libraries have gotten a lot of corporate love from companies as diverse as Microsoft and Netflix.)

http://reactivex.io is a great reference site to learn more about RX.
http://cycle.js.org of course also has a very strong explanation of what is and how it expects to work.

Agreed about Hadley's prolific work.

I used to work a lot with R many years ago. I was shocked to find how bad the documentation was, and worse how rude and unfriendly the "community" of grumpy professors was. I shudder to think of the horrible meanness towards beginners asking questions on the mailing list.

I got so fed up I even wrote a book about R data visualisation. But this was all just around the time ggplot2 came out. Unfortunately I stopped using R soon after, but since then Hadley has single-handedly done more good for the language than anyone else.

I don't know what the R community is like now, and whether people like Hadley have made it friendlier, but it's clearly one reason Python is superior.
>> that's certainly part of the business they conduct (and frankly, they'd be more expensive if they didn't do that, so there's easy arguments that it'd be harder to do business if they didn't). Your birthday ... same. They spam you harder on your birthday ... also part of their business.

Perhaps then I should have said to conduct transactions.

There is a substantive difference between holding information enough to allow people to buy stuff from you, and holding it to advertise, which usually requires extra permissions.

>> Laws like this won't protect anything.

This is too early to say. They may well protect lots of things, and they certainly can (for instance) be used as a place to start attacking ubiquitous tracking and tracing from.

>> The simple fact is you can't have easy to use sites like google, facebook, amazon and the many millions of easy webshops and have protection of private data, it just wouldn't work as well.

Then perhaps that's OK, because some things are actually more important than commerce. This stuff might have to be hard to get right.

> Floating point keys just seem like a terrible idea.

I don't see why floating point (with a defined precision) keys are any worse fundamentally than any finite-domain scalar keys. The applications for which they are useful may be limited, and they may be the wrong choice for some uses, but that's true of anything.
Whenever I see a long list of features like these, especially something major like Lua integration, I always wonder, what was given up in the process of adding them? Normally when there's a performance bump, they show the numbers. In this case there's no numbers. Was there a performance hit? Negligible?
So, what does this offer over Slack, besides being open-source? I see no mention of any actual features, besides basic chat features.

Cars, on the whole, occupy a single flat level. Why don't buildings spread out over roads as the norm? rather than the occasional oddity of a road tunneling thru a building, why isn't that the norm? Ventilation etc problems can be solved. There's N stories of unused space over the roads; leave the first 2-3 stories for road tunneling, and fill in the building-sized empty spaces above.

I think Slack serves its stated purpose very well (smaller, business oriented teams), but many groups have started using it for larger communities, mostly because it has unlimited users for free. But it isn't made for that and there is no way that most of these groups would ever be able to pay for a premium subscription due to the per-user costs. 10K messages across all channels is surprisingly easy to hit, need the ability to ignore users, etc. I think this project has great potential to fill that niche if it is marketed properly. Slack is so close to working well in that area but really needs to pivot to be able to serve it well and make money doing it.
I must say I don't think I agree with the prevailing premise that college or university should prepare you for a particular job or task. What college and university is for, in my opinion, is to turn you into a human being capable of critical thought, analysis, independent learning, interpersonal and communication skills and working with other people.

These are all building blocks you can later leverage to do anything you want with after you graduate.

Similarly, computer science degrees are not to learn any particular language/technology you can later turn around and make money off of. Computer science degrees educate you on the fundamentals of how computers function from the ground up and provide you with the CONCEPTUAL building blocks for how to build software or maybe even create your own programming languages.

Also, I would argue, you would be wasting your time and money going to college/university in order to learn programming. All you need is a book or the web. Not even one of these General Assembly type camps/places are necessary.

If you however want to be come a top notch software/hardware engineer, college/university is important.
