I fail to see how rewarding raping, pillaging, and murdering will rationally lead to less of these things.
France has the same weird credit card policy, and i, too, have been bitten by it. Luckily i got off with a mere telling off by a very surly conductor, when it became obvious i wasn't magically going to produce another credit card. The insanity is on two levels though; using the card as ID but also the fact that they're so damned serious about it. You've got actual, state-provided ID that matches, a valid ticket, but they still give you lip. It's incredible.

"Luckily", i'm caucasian and i speak French, but god help me if i had been of north African phenotype (and for the uninitiated: we're talking about French-speaking born-in-France natives who still get treated like shit) — that's the favourite scapegoat in this part of the world :/.

EDIT: In fact, the whole idea of identifying myself on public transport gives me the shivers. I much prefer the situation where you simply buy anonymous tickets that are valid to the bearer. IMHO the rail authorities have no business knowing who i am, especially since in most cases you're not even crossing borders. And even when you are, they're more likely than not Schengen, in which case there's theoretically no place for the shake-down either. Compare the case where you're sitting in a car — checks are very rare in my experience.
Theoretically it should make a big difference. The difference in the numbers were negligible for me, but YMMV.
I would beg to differ. In India/Bangladesh, where I'm from, rich/middle-class people don't even think of the poor as human beings.
My personal least favorite is "Are you doing anything on <day or time>?"

Well, I will always be doing SOMETHING, even if that something is relaxing at home. How about you propose your plan, and I decide if I would like to do it with your or not?

Also you think that the best way to stop riots from happening is to continue the same policies that lead to them in the first place?

Are you really even against riots?

They very idea of a "social contract" is a model that implies a state with authority over its citizens. Somehow, I don't think people automatically regress to "perpetual war" without the existence of a state.

And using words like "justified" to describe regressive, destructive behavior is utter nonsense.

>Come up with a way for me to support fighting injustice that cannot and will not be turned around to argue that riots fix injustice,

One way to fix that is fair governance, or you know, work to stop injustice before anyone riots. One thing that's pretty clear now is that the government can treat groups of people pretty badly and for a long while before anyone will lift a finger.

>I'll be there with bells on.

No, sadly it was predictable that people would not tolerate endless systemic corruption and injustice, yet very few people were working to change it, or in most cases even aware of it before the "riots".

It sounds almost like you want obvious injustice to be allowed to continue just to spite the relatively small number of violent protesters; lest people might be encouraged to use violence to gain attention for their political ends. The answer to injustice is when it becomes apparent to end it, full stop. It doesn't require you to endorse rioting, either.
Sexual Economics: The Price of Sex at USC
If these fees were tied to income, we might not have a problem in a few months.

Yes, when a rich man gets a ticket; he laughing tells his wife over dinner.

A poor man gets a ticket; he could be at risk for being homeless.

Since they started to raise fees at every level of government about 15 years ago, I felt it's time to equate fees to income.

When the Rich guy comes home with a $7000 speeding ticket; the laws/fees will change--fast. I think they tie income to fee in Switzerland? Unless the rich are effected nothing will change, or at least that's been my experience.

(To all you think the poor never learn their lesson, there could be a quota system. For example, if the poor Speeder abuses the system, they would go back to paying these currently rediculious amounts.)

Since when does supporting the righting of an injustice require you to also support rioting? I'm sorry, that just doesn't logically follow. You're confusing the tactics of a tiny minority with the substance or a huge movement.
It's not that simple though.

If e.g. the state spends $10 million on the poor with the lottery illegal, then the lottery is made legal and $5 million from it is earmarked for the poor, what's to stop the state from lowering the previous $10 million to $5 million, which would mean the poor are getting no more money than before the lottery was made legal?

that is true in some very rare cases. CPU-intensive bits of the application should definitely be separated, so that they can scale independently. But that's not the main point of microservices.

Why is this the case? My understanding of containers is that they solve exactly this problem - restart, rescale only a fraction of the application (only an individual service).
Since riot-supporters consistently use political successes to advocate for more riots. This is a thing that happens consistently, reliably, and regularly. You see it right here on HN, where people argue that riots raise awareness and are thus a positive.
I love this sort of interface. I want to have a use for it, but I haven't thought of a use case yet.
Gambling isn't inherently a method of fraud. By definition it can't be so long as you know going in that you are in fact gambling and there is no attempt at deception occurring.

I've personally never met someone that played the lottery that thought they had tremendous odds, or otherwise failed to understand the nature of the lottery.

Would you mind explaining the fraud that is occurring?
You could build a similar game, make no specific claims (or get a small focus-group to test it out), get a psychologist or two interested with a free trial, then transition to a respectable price later if it is adopted by the clinical community without FDA aproval. Or a modification of that ptocess, still without FDA approval. I don't think psychotherapy in general is FDA approved, as far as I can see, so I'm not even sure what the point of FDA approval is other than proving a principle of therapeutic effect to charge a high price and get access to the psychiatry market in addition to the psychology market.

children?! where do you live?

in sf finding a shelter for children is disgustingly difficult and, as i finally concluded, impossible on weekends

i'm sorry, but conflating the issue of a perceived disparity with 'beliefs' about social gender consensus is unhelpful and only incites issue derailing ire

programs to help the homeless are flawed, i know it first hand, but complaining about someone else's idea of a solution does the least possible to help

if you want a shelter organised under your own incentives i'd suggest starting your own

it's an asshole thing to say but look at the landscape of shelters

currently we have overcrowded, underfunded understaffed solutions:

some universal, few women only, few men only

how do we remove the gender bias?

bulk the universal with the necessary staff that administer the specific needs of the gender exclusive shelters

but the universal shelters are already overcrowded, underfunded and understaffed so to ask more of them would only aggravate the issues further

so we need more shelters, and to have more people willing to open and operate a shelter, and some people get the will to do so by focusing their attention on a specific group, in this case gender based

why is there gender bias in shelters? i'd argue because the people who are willing to put in the work choose to create an environment for the gender bias

should we regulate out the bias with legislation forbidding discrimination based on gender? in the current landscape i only see that harming the issues because then those that have the personal will to run a gender biased shelter will lose their incentive and simply do something else, limiting the number of shelters available to share in the solution

instead i think the argument should be to fund a state run universal shelter program well enough that specific interest shelters get phased out proactively
This exceptionalist view about America is as common as it is laughable. We're not the only way to live, even (or especially) as a wealthy nation. The US is growing more corrupt, and the decline of civic society is being actively driven by a cynical agenda of ultra-wealthy people and the corporations which they control.

The result: depending in which state you live, the US is becoming more like Brazil or Mexico (fast) or like Denmark (slowly, but it is happening).
Yes - with Sequence-based Genotyping or RADSeq you use sequencing machines for genotyping

The upsides of using genomic or RAD reads compared to array-based is that you don't need to make an array first, and sequencing reads is still more expensive than using an array; but with an array you get a more complete set of called genotypes, and you don't get problems with any eventual bad-quality read library.

Nevertheless, at some point we'll drop array-based genotypings.

I'm curious what HN thinks of that last line in the article, about solar.

"More likely, cheap photovoltaic and energy-storage technology will mean that much of humanity’s energy comes from a different fusion reactor—one 150m kilometres away, called the sun."

5 billion years of evolution haven't given us solar powered animals that can run around. It seems like there are some significant hard limits on solar technology.

Energy storage technology actually makes nuclear much more practical... the big problem it faces is that it generates very consistent power, but power demand fluctuates by time of day.

Its a show. I honestly dont believe anything i see on a comedy sketch show, especially one as heavily politicized as the daily show. Once again, this is not 'proof' of anything.

> I think the idea is that if you legalize games of chance and have them run by the state, the rules are at least fair and there is some level of oversight that prevents people from being completely taken advantage of.

In NL we just had a huge scandal with the legal lottery being essentially a rigged game with far less chance of paying out than they would have you believe. (This does not affect me because I've never put a red cent towards a lottery but I can see how those that felt that the state could be trusted in this respect feel more than a little let down).
Medium lets you make an account, write a post in a slick editor, in publish that post in a visually pleasing format in under 5 minutes Pla writing time.

I kinda view Medium like Apple/iPhone. Yes you have less control than on other platforms (Android, WordPress). But you get some that's great for 95% of users and thaw good enough.

I never thought Medium would succeed as being a mechanism for content discovery. That appears to have been a mistake. One of their key advantages is putting eyeballs on writings due to their social reach.
I think the demand for quality software devs is honestly an illusion born out of the mysticism that surrounds tech for much of the older generation. When all systems involving tech map to ~magic~ you end up with highly educated people being highly paid to do work that honestly could be done by nearly any layperson with enough practice. There will likely be some turmoil as ratios of full engineer to effective technician get sorted out but I feel like the end result is not necessarily negative. Odds are that those people with technically fulfilling jobs have little to worry about. The rest of us probably should polish those resumes because the days of six figures to do simple dev work are coming to an end.

🅰s always, there is room for both styles of programming. Some applications simply do not require this type of architecture. Testing a monolith is certainly easier than testing thousands of microservices. Debugging is also a lot easier. Dependency management is also hell of a lot easier.

Yes microservices (or simply services) are very good at large scale applications but they are simply an overkill for any startup project. Why not concentrate your efforts on selling your product first vs building the perfect infrastructure that no one uses? When time comes to upgrade - well upgrade. Amazon is a good example of a large company making the move from monoliths to services and they executed well. You can also do the same thing when it is absolutely required. You know, refactoring!
I think you missed my point. I sign 100-1000 people up for your study. You send the supplements to them. I quickly test the supplements to find out which is which. I then send you a report that makes the days my people took the supplements look positive for efficacy. You then report the supplements are effective. I can now point to your report to sell my supplements. It doesn't matter they are not your supplier. I still benefit from people thinking a supplement is effective.
> In Germany, Deutsche Bahn require you to present the exact credit card used to purchase your ticket as identification when asked.

I've seen this happening on a Deutsche Bahn train Berlin-Dresden. It was a young backpacker not speaking German. He had a printout confirming that he booked the ticket online. The conductor demanded to see the exact physical card the guy used to pay for the booking. The guy said it was a virtual card and physically it doesn't even exist (even in case of a traditional credit/debit card one doesn't have to have it physically to be a legitimate owner and to make legitimate transactions). The conductor said the ticket is invalid and the guy has to buy a new one (sic!). He was going to Prague and had to pay again for a ride to the border with Czech Republic. WTF Deutsche Bahn?!

I, knowing people here are at odds with credit/debit cards and online booking, bought the ticket from a human by the counter (not without a queue) and didn't have any problems.

> Create a single-point-of-failure for my entire digital-life? Thanks, I'll pass.

A password manager does not have to be a single point of failure. To lose access to my passwords, I'd have to lose my phone, tablet, two computers at home, and one at my office, as well as my offline backups.

> If you're smart enough to remember more than one song, you can probably build up several pass-phrases that are supremely easy to remember, nearly impossible to guess, and easier to type than some rando-group of characters

I have around 400 passwords. That's a lot to remember. Don't forget that not only would I have to remember 400 pass phrases, but I'd also have to remember which goes with which site.

For sites that I have to enter passwords frequently, I could probably keep track, but there aren't actually many sites like that because of cookies.

To make 400 memorized pass phrases work, I'd have to maintain a file with a list of sites and pass phrase hints...and now that file is as much a point of failure as a password manager database would be. Those hints might help an attacker guess my pass phrases, so that hint file needs to be kept secure.

Wait...so now I'd essentially be using an improvised, half-assed pseudo password manager that has all the potential downsides of a password manager, but that doesn't actually remember the passwords for me! That is totally texas [1].
