In that case... I hope you have some strange shift in cultural attitudes planned for preventing females from being forcibly used by fertile males. I'm not saying we need a perfect method... I'm saying we need a method that acknowledges the realities that many populations around the world live in. Female victimization is a reality in a lot of places on this planet.

This doesn't match my experience of the PyPy project. I found a tiny bug in the stdlib matching against CPython, went into IRC to ask a question about test running to be sure I got it right and was quickly engaged in conversation about why I was running core tests. Next thing I know my small bug has been fixed by a core developer and my chance to contribute is gone.

I'll stick to being a user.

Tell HN: The Hacker News frontpage effect on a project GitHub stars
How much attention does a Hacker News frontpage post drive to a GitHub project?

For this visualization I combined 2 datasets: GitHub Archive (http://www.githubarchive.org/) and Hacker News (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10440502), both living in BigQuery (https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/what-is-bigquery, https://reddit.com/r/bigquery).

The visualizations were built with Google Cloud Datalab (https://cloud.google.com/datalab/, Jupyter/IPython notebooks on the cloud).

With one SQL query you can extract the daily number of stars a project gets, and with another one the GitHub urls that were submitted to the Hacker News - or combine both queries in one:

SELECT repo_name, created_at date, COUNT(*) c, GROUP_CONCAT_UNQUOTED(UNIQUE(hndate+':'+STRING(hnscore))) hndates, SUM(UNIQUE(hnscore)) hnscore, SUM(c) OVER(PARTITION BY repo_name) monthstars
FROM (
SELECT repo_name, actor_login, DATE(MAX(created_at)) created_at, date hndate, score hnscore
FROM [githubarchive:month.201509] a
JOIN (
SELECT REGEXP_EXTRACT(url, r'github.com/([a-zA-Z0-9\-\.]+.[a-zA-Z0-9\-\.]*)') mention, DATE(time_ts) date, score
FROM [fh-bigquery:hackernews.stories]
WHERE REGEXP_MATCH(url, r'github.com/[a-zA-Z0-9\-\.]+')
AND score>10
AND YEAR(time_ts)=2015 AND MONTH(time_ts)=9
HAVING NOT (mention CONTAINS '.com/search?' OR mention CONTAINS '.com/blog/')
) b
ON a.repo_name=b.mention
WHERE type="WatchEvent"
GROUP BY 1,2, hndate, hnscore
)
GROUP BY 1,2
HAVING hnscore>300
ORDER BY 1,2,4

The promise of the blockchain: The trust machine
I like that question, and I've asked a few people here (I live in Chengdu, China) about it. Anecdotally, it's some of both. City people tend to view raising a child as very expensive, mainly because of education, so many expect they can only afford one. And since that has become the new norm, they're comfortable with that. But many also plan to have two children.

Most I've met who already have a child and could feasibly have a second, don't plan to. I suspect they've already gone through the decision to only have one and don't want to revisit it.

However, I don't know what the rural attitudes are, since I haven't talked with people in the countryside.

I think China's demographic future looks a lot like South Korea's or Japan's, with a shortage of young people:

There are two good things about jquery, flawed as it is — it lets you get stuff done without really understanding the details and it presents a usable idealized picture of what the DOM ought to be without pushing your face into the underlying mess. It also provides a pretty satisfying programming idiom for JavaScript.
Excellent start! Thanks.

Perhaps nobody's denying that China doesn't value personal freedom as highly as the west does, or that you can have a beautiful, rich and fullfilling life with 2 children or less.

Some, myself included, do deny that it could benefit the earth if more governments would enforce limits on children. I think humans are important to the future of the earth, and treating them in a cruel and brutal fashion will cause more problems than it solves.
But if the headline was "uBlock Origin Update Rejected from Chrome Web Store", we couldn't insight a digital riot. If something negative happens to a product or software that we like, it's better to burn everything to ground first with our knee-jerk reactions rather than looking for an explanation.

This is the same thing that we chastise other people for. Yet here we are ready to switch to FireFox and Edge due to what is surely an automated misunderstanding. We are better than this. If not, we _should_ be better than this.
Once minified and gzipped it's less than 200K. But yeah, I can see how a packing command would be useful with program analysis, except that'd rule out any use of the metamodel for dynamic programming.
Interesting point - although it's not really symmetrical. For example, Blackstone's formulation - "It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer".

In addition, prosecutors are presumably held to a higher standard than defense lawyers, since they are state employees and are bound to act in the public interest.
Redundant yes, but nonetheless helpful to the environmental goals of the policy. It's just a subsidy on green products, which would increase demand for green products whether they are new or used.

But you just said you do it all the time when your friends cook. Is the only difference the profit motivation? As the article says, this is often more of a hobby than a "real" business... personally, I'd sooner suspect a restaurant – with their notoriously thin margins – to cut corners. I think with a decent reputation system (word of mouth, or some established online source) I'd be comfortable taking a chance at one of these establishments.
You have to give an employer permission for a credit check. Companies outsource that to a third party. You'll have to sign off on it or you won't get the job. Company specific, obviously. A background check done by a third party for employment purposes will include credit history. If you didn't sign off on a background check they didn't pull your credit history.

That being said, they don't actually do the background check until after you've accepted the job. They say "this offer of employment is contingent on passing a background check."

I hear they may be doing away with this in some places.

RE: Insurance. Take it from Esurance.

https://www.esurance.com/info/car/myth-your-credit-score-doe...

>Many U.S. car insurance companies use credit-based insurance scores to help determine risk. (Unless you live in Massachusetts, Hawaii, or California, where the practice has been banned.) And studies have shown that there's good reason to use credit-based scoring in developing rates.

>In 2003, The University of Texas (PDF) conducted an analysis based on 175,647 policies. They found that those with lower credit scores tended to incur more car insurance losses and higher claims payout, and thus posed greater risk to auto insurers.

>The Federal Trade Commission (PDF) also undertook an independent study to understand the relationship between credit history and risk. Like The University of Texas, they found that credit-based insurance scores are effective predictors of risk.

You aren't ever going to get an apartment in my neighborhood without a credit history. Once again, you'll have to give permission for a landlord to run a credit check but your other alternative is not renting the place. Around here all the landlords have hard credit score thresholds. Though they probably would accept someone without a credit history if they had very high income.
Yep. Win 2k will always hold a place in my heart. My family bought a computer that came with Windows ME, and of course it crashed constantly. After getting incredibly frustrated with this my friend had a copy of this bizarre OS called Windows 2000. It took a long time to get all the drivers for everything initially, but it was stable. Damn stable.

I honestly had a server running Windows 2000 untill about 4 years ago. In that time, it was only really rebooted for system updates. It's sitting in my spare room.

If You Don't Get into YC, Don't Give Up!
Hey Everyone,
I just made a throwaway account for this post for to keep our app private.

As the Winter YC applications just finished up, I wanted to share a personal success the community as plenty of rejection letters will coming coming in a few weeks.

My co-founder and I applied to the spring YC class. Our SaaS was 6 months old, had $27k MRR, and we were super hopeful that we would get an interview, probably like most other applicants.

Unfortunately though, we received the very polite rejection letter. We were bummed. Really bummed. We obviously had a comfortable lifestyle business on our hands, but we were hoping for a home-run.

We decided to just double-down ourselves on the business, and put our other projects to the side. No investors, no mentors, just us.

As of this week we just hit the $300k MRR mark, and we're still growing rapidly. It's been a stressful ride, but I couldn't be happier with how it's turned out. It's a huge win for us.

In the end, I really don't blame YC for rejecting us, as I can't see us being a 9-figure company that changes the world. Just wanting to share with those who might question whether or not you should pursue it on your own. I say yes.
Again. What you claim is wrong about the comic is not what it's claiming.
Taking a medical malpractice case on contingency to trial is a huge risk for a lawyer. Nearly every lawyer would be happy to hear your story, call up the insurance company, and immediately settle for a pittance. (Hint: if you've seen a "personal injury" lawyer in an ad, that's what he/she does.) Because of student loans and other expenses, many lawyers are not in a position to do anything else on contingency.

However, unlike most insurance policies, medical malpractice policies typically include the services of defense attorneys who are happy to take a case that isn't open-and-shut to court, rather than settling. Doctors make lots of money, and they are happy to spend quite a bit as a business expense to get good insurance. Therefore plaintiff's attorneys in medical malpractice have to be choosier about which cases they take. Any number of factors can mean that a patient who really did suffer needlessly is not a good risk for the lawyer. It totally does make a difference if the plaintiff or family can chip in for expenses along the way. The situation described by the thread parent, in which the additional medical expenses caused by the malpractice ended up being owed mostly to the hospital whose nurse made the error, would probably be better handled by the hospital's accounts receivable department than by the courts. (Although since the error was ascribed to a nurse we might not expect the same blue-ribbon defense that a physician would get.)

I once served on a jury who found for the defendant in a medical malpractice case.

According to wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracing_just-in-time_compilati...

Tracing just-in-time compilation is a technique used by virtual machines to optimize the execution of a program at runtime. This is done by recording a linear sequence of frequently executed operations, compiling them to native machine code and executing them. This is opposed to traditional just-in-time (JIT) compilers that work on a per-method basis.

Unlikely. The perceived benefits of eugenics would be too tantalizing for those social engineers in control of "licensing" the right to reproduce. Robust markets for DNA sequencing and clinical already exist. It'd be a vanishingly small step to pivot those platforms for eugenics.

The licensing proposal is odious even if we were to (naively) discount conventional eugenics. Licenses would likely be tied to "merit", which is rather inextricably linked to socioeconomic class.

I'll preface by saying that it certainly isn't relevant to the article, and I do find the phrasing to be a bit demeaning to bachelor's degrees.

On the other hand, even going for a bachelor's degree can be met with a lot of resistance in some family cultures. I've known families that ostracized a member for being the first to go to college instead of pursuing the union or the force. I can't speak to how widespread this is, but being the first to make it to college is in itself sometimes a real achievement. It might be a wild thought for those of us who were raised thinking a Bachelor's is just part of the natural progression.

I think we need to punish prosecutorial misconduct more aggressively. That said, you can better understand the status quo if you think of the criminal justice system in terms of interconnected problems.

First problem: making sure prosecutors are held personally liable for the X% of convictions that are wrongful and arise from prosecutorial misconduct.

Second problem: ensuring that people are freed for the Y% of convictions that are wrongful and don't result from misconduct.

Third problem: ensuring that the system can function to uphold the (100 - Y - X)% of convictions that are not wrongful.

The fact of the matter is that Y is a small number. And X is a much smaller number than that. Yet, the (100 - Y - X)% of convicts who are really guilty have no less incentive to appeal or sue for misconduct than the X% of people who have a valid case. Consequently, the justice system is awash in frivolous appeals and habeas petitions.

If it was just an issue of holding prosecutors liable in X% of cases, then this would be a much easier problem. But you have to do that without giving the (100 - Y - X)% of the justly-convicted a powerful tool to harass and abuse prosecutors who engaged in no wrongdoing. That makes the problem much harder.
