Do you honestly think people are suggesting small cars should be marketed to hunting and dirt bike enthusiasts?

European Hunters have as much choice as we have.
It doesn't really matter if they sift through every one so long as they have them on record. If there's ever an allegation of misconduct, the code can be examined in full by any large variety of experts.
I'm sure this will be a big hit with the legitimate purchasers of the tickets to which those barcodes were assigned... who will find them mysteriously invalid when presented.

I find European small cars to be total trash. Would never buy one. How am I supposed to tow my boat to carry my dirt bike in car? Where do I keep the boar I hunt?

I agree the OA would be improved by two examples, one of each.

An answer: Counter-examples are important in Maths.

Anecdote: Oliver Sacks wrote about autistic twins [1] who could not speak or communicate well to people but who could perform prodigious feats of calculation, including factorising large pimes. Sacks sat with them with a table of prime numbers, and swapped some really large ones after which they took him seriously. Sacks took their reaction to his large primes as proof of their arithmetical ability.

The mathematician John Conway (the game of life chap) was quoted on an online forum decades later as saying that Sacks should have suggested some large non-prime numbers as a test of the twins. I'm searching for a reference!

"When the show began, the idea that average people could build their own complex gadgets was a fringe notion at best. Today, more than 400,000 students worldwide gather to compete in FIRST Robotics competitions."

I would credit that to more powerful, cheaper and easier to work with electronic components and kits (e.g. Raspberry PI) becoming available rather than TV show.
Hey no worries! I got carry away :-)
About the PLA fumes - this has actually been extensively studied and there's no notable amounts of decomposition at normal PLA melt temperatures - that is, if there's no visible charring on your part, there's no measurable decomposition fumes. ABS fumes are much more significant, but they appear to be at about the same level as searing meat in a frying pan. I'm sure if you put a zebrafish embryo near frying pan fumes it would be harmed, but that isn't saying much.
It's reasonable to say "this specific government will use this tool irresponsibly, in ways that hurt people and damage credibility without corresponding upside".

But that's a different argument entirely from "this tool can never work."

> I would argue your audience is failing to understand what torture is. Most people are deathly afraid of any pain. But they're also not agents/operatives/soldiers for their government. They're not at war with an enemy they think worth fighting and killing.

It almost sounds as if you are trying to define away torture for a fringe case where it's guaranteed to be useless. This is a legalistic approach not anymore convincing than attempts to define waterboarding as "not torture".

Torture is used in the armed conflicts depressingly regularly: the corresponding clauses in Geneva Conventions for treatment of POW were added not for purely theoretic reasons. Torture is used by criminals around the world on daily basis. The reason they haven't given up after millenia of practice is that it tends to work in their unsophisticated, easily verifiable cases: getting the combination to a safe or finding where a merchant keeps their money stashed.

Anyway, torture should not be used because it's simply an abhorrent thing to do to a human being. Trying to frame it in terms of performance is damaging to the moral aspect of it, as you descend to the same inhuman cost/benefit mindset as torture proponent.

On HN we don't consider a post to be a duplicate if the story hasn't had significant attention yet. Otherwise too many stories would languish unseen.

We're working on a way to let users indicate which posts are dupes of one another by submitting their HN ids or urls, so this hopefully won't be confusing for much longer.
This is the first example of self-recursive snark I've seen on HN. Congrats.
The basis of torture is on fear and pain. This works on those who are weak and easy to break. But like other commenters said it is hard to tell lying and truth. Sometimes, the person who finally speaks the truth doesn't even know if the information he/she has is even true.

I.e. only 2 downvotes?

I sometimes too want to express my appreciation for something with more than just an upvote, but find myself without anything insightful to say. The current solution is to get an "yes, it's ok to just upvote" counseling, but I sometimes wonder if there isn't something to improve there.

Upvotes signal everything from "it's a great idea!", through "oh, cool", to "headline looks interesting, I want to save that for later reading". On the other hand, since posting "it's great" doesn't seem like much of a contribution, even the best ideas (or Show HNs) end up having lots of criticism in comments here, despite that most HNers may actually really like it. A way to signal "it's a great idea" besides upvotes could correct the comment bias.
That makes me feel all warm and fuzzy, but let's say a terrorist is captured and you have to put a stop to his operation. His cell will kill a hundred or so people in the next month. You don't torture him and the bomb goes off killing 243 people. A year and a half later you capture another and you have to put a stop to his operation. What do you do?

I'm probably not the best person to judge this, but after having spent a couple of months in the US and renting a lot of cars, most of them were basically new cars, I can say that all of the cars had worse fuel economy than the (old) cars I have or used to have back home in Slovakia. I currently drive a 2009 Ford Galaxy and before that it was a Skoda Fabia from 2001. I could get more MPG on either of them than on an average new US car.

Since I carry around some of those UV-triggered photopolymers around in my mouth (dental resin composite), your post alarmed me somewhat. Here is a relevant article from 2012: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3532765/

TLDR: It depends on how well your dentist handles it, and also what compounds are used. There is cytotoxicity and the known effects of BPA, but you cannot find the word "cancer" in that article. And incriminating compounds are reduced over time ("aging").
Correct, unless you manage to hop out of the range of the assigned ranges.
Indeed, once you resort to torture or other "questionable" means, you can't accuse or deny enemies from using them too; this sets new standards. The argument is generally "but they already do it", and in my opinion it fails to recognize 1) the large scale validation for every belligerent, 2) the race to "no-rule" warfare, as limits are one-upped once (de facto) accepted. So it's not because _some_ belligerents are willing to use banned means that everybody should start using them too.

I'm building my own time-series database for some time.

https://github.com/akumuli/Akumuli

It's a standalone solution without dependencies on other services or databases. It can handle more than a million data points per second and uses fixed amount of memory to store data on disk but without Graphite's shortcomings (compression is used for everything and timestamps is stored with nanosecond precision).

I'm focused mostly on realtime time-series analysis. Akumuli has built-in anomaly detector: EWMA, Holt-Winters and sketch based methods. It can generate different time-series representations, like SAX and PAA. DTW and correlation search is in progress now.
The article neglects and glosses over whether the "melted plastic" objects were ABS or PLA (or something else), which quite readily indicates the useful content in the article. (I suspect the research clearly defined that, but the article comes across as "I need to reach my word limit for the next 20 minutes, so I'll just copy-paste a few scary sounding sentences from a research paper, then make up some filler to go between without bothering to understand anything.")

I eventually remembered the "Genius" bit, so went to genius.com to locate the arti--

"...Wait. This is a lyrics sharing site."

"Uhh, what?"

I had to use my browser history (and my now-dented, slightly-less-certain hunch it was genius.com) to find the article.

Not only is ageism a real thing, but in order for software development apprenticeship to work you have to have a supply of skilled engineers with the time to mentor. And as I've found out the hard way, the people that are the most qualified to effectively mentor engineers are the same people who don't have time for mentorship because they are founding startups.

Y Combinator and, to a lesser extent, the better coding bootcamps, are trying to solve this problem and I feel we should be supportive of that and encourage more of those initiatives (and I'm not looking to start another subthread about the effectiveness of coding bootcamps, but merely pointing out that they are an attempt to solve the problem of mentorship at scale).

The weird part is that the regex is much bigger than the DFA (but the DFA is not accepting the symbols directly, it's transforming them first

It also seems that regexes can't express accepting expressions like AB where A is accepted by itself (considering AB is accepted), which in the DFA is implemented by sending it to the initial state

But because we are not making an investment decision, there is no sunk cost fallacy. If we have two widgets and invest a lot of money into making the first widget better, and indeed it becomes better, it is not a sunk cost fallacy to call the first one more valuable.
If by some astonishing bad luck some that type of scenario did happen (highly unlikely, but the probability is not zero), that's what "extenuating circumstances" is for.

I'm not an expert in this area, so please feel free to correct me if I've made a mistake or am completely and utterly wrong.

From what I understand, the Many-Worlds Interpretation is, in effect, the "default" hypothesis, insofar as that it follows naturally from state evolution according to the Schrodinger equation. The burden of proof is on the Copenhagen Interpretation to provide some additional mechanism which destroys the quantum states we don't observe.

Take, for example, the double slit experiment with a single photon. If we don't measure which slit it passes through, it has the pure state which we can describe as (|left> + |right>), and you can solve the equations with space and time to see that |left> and |right> overlap after they diffract past the slits, so you get an interference pattern.

If you measure which slit it passes through, the photon's states get entanged with the experimental apparatus. For example, |left> is now entanged with the left detector resistering its passing, which causes an electric current to a display, which causes photons to be emitted, which interact with the laboratory, and some of which register on our retinas, which cause our neurons to be in a different state, etc.. So the wavefunction is now:

|left, measured-left, brain-saw-apparatus-say-photon-went-left, ...> + |right,...>

The photon is now thoroughly entanged with the state of our brain and the entire laboratory, so when the photon diffracts after the slit the two states |left,...> and |right,...> no longer overlap and can't interfere. It's much the same thing as EPR, except rather than (|0> + |1>) getting entangled with a second particle to produce (|0,0> + |1,1>), it gets entangled with all the many degrees of freedom of the laboratory, and our brain, and the entire world. Postulating that if we observe |left, ...> then |right, ...> no longer "exists" is entirely analagous to particle B in EPR "observing" that if it is in the state |0,0> then |1,1> no longer exists.
You can make that statement about anything and everything. Using your standard: Not everyone agrees that the earth is a sphere, therefore any statement which assumes it is a sphere is begging the question.
How is public debt the problem? If something, Japan case show that debt in your own money is not the problem.

They should have stayed with -1- account system so Google+, Youtube,..etc. would have been added as services. Why this was not done is beyond me, they already had the software infrastructure running in terms of how Gmail works with its various services, all that needed to be done was add G+ and Youtube to the list? Also it would have meant that people felt safe to try these other services out rather than ending up with a confusing array of accounts that can be (at times not) cancelled, merged, and, most of all, have to be managed separately (and I guess sometimes jointly if "Hangouts On Air" needs to work!) :/
