Should we rename institutions that honour dead racists?
i believe that we - as programmers, product managers, ... - often have the wrong ideas about mobile. three examples from my experience:

idea: an app that helps people find shops with offers nearby

how people use it: users look up offers while they are already in the shop (nearly always inside big supermarkets.)

idea: vegan restaurant finder

how people use it: users look up pics of food of that restaurant while they already sat down in the restaurant (but as Instagram has more pics, they always switch to Instagram)

idea: apartments for rent app with awesome "find apartments nearby" feature

how people use it: to look up the newest apartment in the city while in the metro home

i believe it will take a few years more until we get mobile more right than wrong, until then be prepared to question your product hypothesis! (and best do it while you are running around, stressed, on your way to work or during business travel, you know, while you actually are "mobile" / or at home at your couch (also a mobile scenario) ... not while in the office in front of your mac book pro)

Whether China chooses to exercise its veto to prevent the UN from issuing a strongly worded condemnation or not, North Korea will protect Kim Jong Un from international justice. They have weapons pointed at some of the world's most densely populated areas, and enough fanaticism to use them. Even if the rest of the North Korean leadership were to decide Kim Jong Un was going too far, I don't think the UN would be invited to participate in their palace coup.

I think this is just a reflection of the proportion of the female contributors in overall open source communities. There's really no reason for the Rust project to do anything "anti-female". Actually I think it is a bit too concerned with diversity.

Then the problem now becomes why there aren't that many female contributors out there. This is just a theory, but I think it is because males' nature make them do free labor to obtain fame. I admit this is purely my experience, but females are more likely to refrain from such labor that does not pay off.

From http://blog.golang.org/go12, "This new release comes nearly seven months after the release of Go 1.1 in May. We anticipate a comparable interval between future major releases." Go 1.3 and 1.4 took six months, 1.5 eight months.

The installer from https://www.rust-lang.org works fine on Debian stable. Right now, you can just use the upstream rustup.sh script for platforms that don't yet have it packaged (like Debian stable), or install from your distro for those that do (or use rustup.sh on those as well if you like).

What I'm not seeing is the value of a Docker image. Rust doesn't have much in the way of runtime dependencies, which is where the value of a container generally comes in. I don't know of a platform where Docker image would work but rustup.sh would not.

> But by claiming Google will hit 100M users paying $10 per month seems lofty unless there's something really unique about an ad free Youtube experience. Netflix has under 40M subscribers paying ~$8 per month right now.

Netflix doesn't bundle something equivalent to Google Play Music All Access with their streaming video service, and doesn't have an free, advertising-support tier with a billion users as an onramp to the paid service.

Also, Youtube has a different model for acquiring content, and a greater diversity in kinds of content. Which might give it a broader natural market than Netflix has.

Sketch – A New Way to Bring Houzz Design Ideas to Life
It's not necessarily outrageous, it just seems that you are basing further reasoning upon that proposition. The problem is that you can't ever verify that proposition, which means you can't ever verify any thing else that is reasoned on top of it (so, why not try to find reasonings that can be verified (or, at least, nullified)).

I'm not sure what the right answer (if there even is one) in this situation is, but one interesting thought I had while reading your most recent comment:

>The handful of times that my actions caused one or both of my parents to 'lose their shit' (and at times even apologize for that later) are etched in my mind, deservedly so, and they kept me from ever doing that particular thing again. In contrast, the vast majority of other things I was punished for required repeat offenses and repeated and increasing punishment before I cleaned up my act.

Was:

One way to resolve this with the original statement ("In the same way that a parent getting angry can sometimes be more effective than a parent logically dishing out an appropriate punishment") is to say that your parents losing their shit over your behavior was the logical punishment. :)
Think of it as a commenting or documentation system that's also interpreted by the language. Comments that can never get out of date.

If you think that human-readable comments and documentation are not useful... then I'm not going to try to convince you that you would benefit from perl's syntactic flexibility. But surely you recognize that there are some people that like documentation, useful comments, and informative variable names.
It's USG. Creating new authoritarian laws, especially indirectly applied through companies, is basically what it does.
But by then they would've spent the money needed to update the game to a releasable game state plus any legal costs triggered by other parties "lawyering up," perhaps only to have the rug pulled out from under them.
Also housing, feeding and clothing people in EU right now creates pressure for refugees. Which means means people drowning in Mediterranean.

Not taking incentives into account often results exacerbating the problem. Like in India children get their arms chopped off. So they would get more pity and money while begging for Mafia.

Even the demo http://demo.django-cms.org (good luck getting in at the moment, though) shows how django CMS can reuse structured data from multiple applications that also integrate with its editing and publishing tools (in the demo, news, people, events, jobs, etc).

There are biomedical labs for example that use django CMS to publish information automatically. Obviously django CMS itself knows nothing about biomedical data, but it provides the tools that make it very easy to integrate those applications (which thanks to Django are themselves very quick and easy to build).

Another example: https://developer.ubuntu.com/api/scopes/cpp/current/ is part of a django CMS site - and I can assure you that that API documentation is not coming out of a FrontPage-like page builder!

As an immigrant to Canada I'm quite familiar with the process. The government department responsible is overloaded and takes months to progress applications. Often having to contact an applicant for more info moves you back in the queue. Regulations change rarely. In general the whole system feels sluggish and resistant to change. The idea that a software company could convince every nation to fit a foreign globally recognized automated back door into their processes seems very ambitious to say the least.

I think you should consider all of the results: tables 13-15 have comparisons to humans across a wide range of datasets. The human WER performance varies from 3.5 to 22.2 (on clean speech) - some datasets are much harder than others. And different people are probably better at different accents than others. On top of that, people aren't great spellers especially when it comes to names and proper nouns. One example off the top of my head - Narendra Modi is in the WSJ dataset. I bet many people would spell that wrong if they only hear it and have never seen it spelled before. Or even worse Tchaikovsky.

For the Mandarin system the human performance was obtained from people in our office, not random Turkers. 4% WER for a group of 5 humans vs 3.7% for the system.

Perhaps you're raising the bar - human level performance no longer consists of an average or median level, but the top 1% or better. I'm not sure that's fair.

I would strongly advocate against using Plone ( 1 year of experience ). Slow, inflexible, data goes into a database which nobody uses and is not a database by any stretch of imagination. Effectively you are now locked in.

Even for a moderate site you would need a caching proxy in front. Code is not pythonic at all, but a java-esq class hierarchy over 15 levels deep.

Very small user base, little online help.

I also used the "spouse firewall", and had a different firewall failure. Firewall failures can happen in two ways: letting things through that they shouldn't, and not letting things through that they should.

A few years ago, after the Sandy Hook shootings, my wife was very upset by all the news coverage (she is very empathetic, and the thought of children being harmed seriously bothers her). I told her that she should just ignore it all and focus on our family and more immediate concerns. After all, we were lucky enough that it didn't affect us, and worrying about it couldn't help. So, she focused on more local concerns, and felt much better.

I was shocked a month later when I was talking to a close friend and found out that one of the children killed at Sandy Hook was the child of an old friend of mine; someone I had not spoken to in years, but who I went to high school and college with, and who was DM of our gaming group senior year. FB had been the center of the outpouring of community support for my friend, and I felt very guilty for not being part of that. No one had even thought to tell me, because it was all over FB, after all. My friends all just assumed I knew.

It's always a hard problem to filter the important 0.1% from the unimportant 99.9%. I'm glad that my friend was able to get so much support from friends and community, and I think FB, for all its faults, helped in that.

Hi guys, author here. The initial interest is being used to start conversations with immigration departments from small states around the world. Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the Netherlands already use a points-based system to grant visas for skilled workers. The idea is to create a standard international certification that would allow skilled migrants to move freely around countries that accept it, just like they do with TOEFL for the English language requirement.
What the heck?
Is this a scam?

Sorry, but this looks like a splash sign up page for services for immigration attorneys.

The immigration process, even for "special" people, is not that simple.

We really need some details on who is "special" and what "selected" countries are available.

It's a decision that may seem obvious for many, many product categories.

But I can assure you that regarding anything finance-wise, it's simply impossible to launch an app that that complies with local laws everywhere at the same time, especially without proper funding. Take Quickbooks, it exists for 5-10 years, and they're still postponing their launch in the French market. We've gone global since then, and we've grown in 10 weeks way faster than we did in 1 year.

Yeah, I was thinking of that when I wrote it. Where I live that "complete and total confiscation" has already happened (ish - a few farmers have shotguns, a few people shoot as an athletics-type thing), and thus we have hardly any gun crime. The idea that the "productive" position necessarily means some specific divide rather than a general ban looks really weird from over here.
In your view, is it less disturbing when systemic human problems are worked out without a shred of human compassion? Why or why not?

Nope, that just finishes an "80%" receiver, to which you then attach various finished parts. Note also that AR-15 pattern rifles don't seriously stress lower receivers in firing, people have cobbled together working ones out of plastic, scrap aluminum, etc.

If you want to efficiently make one out of plain metal, you'd want at minimum a milling machine and lathe, and the knowledge of how to use them. A furnace for heat treating would also be handy, and making a good long barrel requires from what I've read more specialized machinery.
Ask HN: Looking for beta testers for receiving cooking help via text
I started a site where you can get cooking help from chefs via text and am looking for a few beta testers.

How it works is through the day if you have any questions, you can text the number for whatever questions you have. For example, you might ask about a good salsa recipe, what a recommended knife is, or how to cook a particular vegetable.

Currently the plans are $20/month, but for the beta testers it will only be $1/month. I probably only can support about 5 testers at the moment so if you are interested feel free to post below or email daniel @ cookingmayday.com . At the moment only US numbers are active for the beta testing plan.

The site to check out also is

Except that people's experience of words doesn't come from the dictionary. Words aren't experienced in a vacuum, people assign different meanings to words based on their own experiences. To some of us, "master/slave" is just a phrase to describe an architecture. To others of us, it has historical connotations that makes it inappropriate.
I have a difficult time believing that stability is the main reason for the lack of integration. Admins have the ability enable/disable certain features. Throw a beta flag in front of the feature and say it's not supported.
How will it not be effective? When I read an article on Blendle (Dutchie here) I don't like or think is worth its money I ask for a refund. They even ask you when you're asking for a refund so they know if the price is too high, article is too long or the content is too bad. It seems like, if anything, it would discourage clickbait...
> Whether China chooses to exercise its veto to prevent the UN from issuing a strongly worded condemnation or not

A referral to the ICC is a substantively different action than a condemnation (of course, the DPRK is unlikely to cooperate with the ICC, at which point there is a different discussion that may happen at in the UNSC -- or potentially even the GA, under "Uniting for Peace" -- about how to deal with that.)
