There's not much difference to the person being stifled, at least, not initially.

There's a huge difference between a government being able to send the police in broad daylight to do its bidding and beat you up or jail you for breaking the "subversive speech law" vs having to deal with some bureaucratic agency making you jump through endless hoops trying to get your group's 501c tax status.

That's all before you even think about getting into a courtroom.
CFD is also used in computer graphics (games and film) which is filled with people who focus on low level optimisation.

I keep all my bookmarks in a Delicious account and I was shocked that around 40% of links I saved since 2013 are now gone. I managed to find few archived pages in archive.org but many of the pages I "saved" are gone forever and I can never refer to them again.

I now save every single page I find important or interesting on my local HDD and then move it to a backup disk later on.
I personally don't see print media going extinct (books certainly didn't) but I'd hypothesise that availability and convenience is more important than price for the average NYT reader.
Yet another product I would buy from a store in a heartbeat, but instantly dismiss because of kickstarter. Granted, this one looks professional and it appears they've already set up manufacturing, but that really doesn't sway my opinion.
"Given that an ISIS attack in Paris just helped fuel the sweeping election victory of an actually fascist party in France".
What is this low level journalism doing on HN ?
1. The "Front National" is an extremely conservative party with racist undertones but certainly not fascist. The Republican Party seems far more conservative on certain subjects. However the "Front National" does have quite a statist vision of the economy.
2. It is far from having won a "sweeping victory". It may win, worst case scenario, 4 regions out of 13 next Sunday, which is unprecedented but not a sweeping victory.

Can i learn math
Hello guys i have a question and i need clean answer to clear my mind so im 22 year old and now im practicing front end development and i dont know nothing in math so i want to learn math because i see now i need to learn math someone can tell me is to late to learn math or not if not how can i learn math how to develop my logic or critical thinkin and so on.
>>I mean if we're going to use that definition, then the shirt itself was harassment.

I'll just assume you meant "bullying" instead of "harassment" since that was the immediate topic.

From my brief research it seems Matt Taylor wore the shirt because he liked it, not with an intention to harass women, so it fails the intent clause of the definition. And it appears he only wore it once, so it would also fail the persistence clause. Thus it wouldn't be bullying by that definition.

I suspect that wearing that shirt would qualify as harassment under some definitions, such as US workplace law. And I personally think it's in terrible taste in most contexts.

Tensorflow 0.6.0 release (now actually released)
This is likely because they have a science bias, not a product bias. This particular team and design will never produce more energy than it will consume. It's specifically made to validate some ideas about reactor design. Fusion reactors become more energy efficient as you scale them up, but also more expensive. As a result, all such designs have to be vetted through a series of cheaper but "nonfunctional" designs.

It would be hard for them to extoll all the virtues of this without knowing if this design can work. One possible outcome from this test is that the reactor design, the stellerator, is not presently feasible for power plant design. That would be disappointing but at least they would have paid relatively less to figure that out.
JetBrains did something really cool. I'm second year paying user of WebStorm & PHPStorm. Totally rocks.

But ...

Last company I worked for I also used IntelliJ IDEA. And it's pretty obvious that IDEA is their main-focused project, which is superior than the others. For example WebStorm still doesn't have nice TypeScript support ( 1.7 is not supported and overall typescript seems to be buggy ).

Also they should've probably spend more time and "rebrand" their UI ... I'm sick of dracula and default themes. Atom is a masterpiece on design nowadays.
I agree. These companies keep trying to compete on price, but thats not the #1 differentiator. Rapsberry Pi is so successful because of the community support and therefore ease of use. I would be more convinced by a new board if they supplied extensive documentation and had a bunch of project guides ready to go.
She's cheating on you.
This is why 23andme's health test results were prohibited by the FDA until recently. People were taking action based on it assuming it was a diagnostic test.

They are currently selling their tests. The same tests that, according to third-party verifiers don't work.

Thanks for this awesome opportunity, you should set up a system with the other companies blessing to release to remote office hours online. I am going to apply!
It's still vaporware now, unlike alternatives. What's the fascination about 64-bit architecture anyway, apart from it being a bigger (=> better) number?
Well that's a whole different deal there. :)

When you do the Light, the Cadre ask "does anyone have any medical conditions we should know about". Speak up, or at least talk to the Cadre before the event so he's briefed on the likelihood of incidence as well as treatment. Also, some of the Cadre were/are 18Ds, e.g. medics, and depending upon the severity of your condition you may wish to seek out an event run by one of them.

I don't know what you're doing for training, maybe you have that well in hand, but I highly recommend looking into the programming done by Rob Shaul at http://strongswiftdurable.com. They respond quickly to emails and are great about recommending plans based on your goals and current capabilities.
Gangnam Wars
I worked for a medical diagnostics company for 4 years and this is an incorrect view. Though I'm not fluent in the regulatory side I do know that most of our tests were not FDA approved. Most tests/assays were developed in-house, however, a few tests were licensed from other companies and all of those WERE FDA approved.

Another interesting caveat, when the FDA approved tests failed we could not dissect the process and try different variations/dilutions and were only able to give general reasons for test failure (it was sometimes referred to as "black box" testing). However, this was not the case for in-house developed non-FDA approved tests. For those, we had much more control and could give pretty definitive reasons for testing failure and sometimes we could re-test failed specimens with slight variations and obtain a valid result.

Since Cursive works by analysing source code, for the most part everything that works for Clojure just works for CLJS too - navigation, refactorings etc. I'm planning to add very soon native support for CLJS REPLs, since getting them running can be pretty fiddly. And mid-term I'm planning a CLJS debugger with integrated REPL. That would also allow debugging CLJS in Electron shells or on devices when using React Native.

Considering the Surface tablet isn't in as many markets as the iPad, I personally assumed they meant U.S. only, and the title already states "online sales." This is good for Microsoft, however let's also note that tablet sales have been falling over all. I do think hybrids are the future, and Apple is missing that boat though. The iPad Pro is a poor attempt that honestly, I would have expected from the Microsoft of old.

Panos Panay is doing a great job with the Surface line, though I was a little disappointed with the Surface Pro 4 and Surface Book launches, both of which were plagued with firmware and driver bugs.
Police officers are not a top 10 dangerous job. For that, it would start with construction, logging, fishing. If fact, I think I see a negative correlation between pay and dangerous jobs in general.
> I'm selling you this drug, but the FDA hasn't agreed that it is effective.

This sort of labeling is already ok. Have you been in a drug store lately? A quarter of the cold medicine is basically placebo garbage. They literally have no active ingredients that are recognized by the FDA, but their cleverly worded boxes sit close to real cold medicine with active ingredients tested by science.

While you're on your drug store field trip, look for the homeopathic cold medicine and look for the active ingredients. Note how it's not measured in milligrams.

> 512MB of RAM

Well, ok, but unless I'm going to do some ridiculous amount of paging, I can't really take advantage of the 64-bit much. And in the meantime my 64-bit executables will suffer from larger pointers.

The stuff that arm does well (IMO) is stuff that uses Python and other high-level languages. Those tend to port with little to no effort. Yet they use a ton of indirection so the size of those pointers really matters for memory consumption.

$15 for an ARM board still seems like decent value, though.
> That's simply not what currency is. Currency is an transferable i.o.u. worth whatever the creditor says it's worth. The most pervasive currency is currently the greenback. Every additional party or layer between you and the U.S. government increases credit risk and transaction costs everytime you make a transaction outside the pay network your currency is held in.

The root problem with traditional currency is all the trust required to make it work. -- Not that justified trust is a bad thing, but trust makes systems brittle, opaque, and costly to operate. Trust failures result in systemic collapses, trust curation creates inequality and monopoly lock-in, and naturally arising trust choke-points can be abused to deny access to due process. Through the use of cryptographic proof and decentralized networks there is a way to minimize and replace these trust costs.

(Just something that's been floating around in my head lately... Carry on.)

I'm quite sure a good number of these are running partly on GPU's. People are quite aware of them; their practical use in research applications is still a bit limited because of how often the code needs to be modified -- but in industry where the same basic model is run over and over they (as well as FPGA's) are pretty common. Not every computational application is the same :)
> The public is just way too callous in thinking that it's okay for you to be injured or killed because "you signed up for it".

Agreed with this point. A police officer effecting a routine traffic stop to potentially issue a citation should not be cause for alarm. And perhaps, most of the time it's not. But that 1/x times it does turn violent, the officer needs to be ready, or risk not going home.

A police officer should not have to believe that pulling over a driver may be a life and death situation. Yet, they train knowing they are entering a potentially dangerous situation. The public telling them, it's okay they signed up for it, is reprehensible.
I'm with everyone else here that says you need to forget about the trendy junk and get the job done.

Think brutally effective rather than elegant or modern. The simplest most old fashioned method that will work is often good enough.

> The trouble is that you need to learn those tools and languages before you can get to do it the easy way.

this is never some weird tradeoff, this is simply people selling you bullshit and you buying in.
Now that you mention it, the Microsoft support dude did have a very smooth voice.

Using Swift in AWS Lambda
Writing JavaScript and feeling you're surrounded by errors is pretty normal. It's a hastily-designed language. There's no getting away from the fact that everything is going to feel a little bit fragile. Just accept it and don't expect perfection.
Hardware design isn't limited to gates, PCB traces and ASICs. This seems remarkably like hardware design to me.

As much as you might not agree, plans for building a birdhouse constitute hardware design too.
C#, F#, JavaScript, TypeScript, and their development toolchain. Every Surface Book ships with in-the-box high performance virtualization (although Linux support for being a client OS for high performance networking is a bit spotty).

They're doing things like demoing debugging C# executables running inside docker containers on Linux, from Visual Studio in the host Win10 VM.

Additional heresy incoming: Powershell is extremely good as well, although a very different vision of the world than bash and its successors.
If it has ECC, it might be a viable file server. Could definitely do with a gig of memory, though.

It's price to the enterprise is seen as almost zero from their perspective. The other products that solve the same problem cost 10x as much.
The entire Atlassian business model was disruptive. While their competitors were focusing on buying steak dinners for the highest exec that their sales team could get in contact with Atlassian products moved organically through the company. Awesome user groups cheap prices and a strong developer ecosystem made them very difficult to compete with.

One of the complications with trying to compete with disruption is that people inside your own company don't want to realize they are being disrupted. You see plenty of "the old plan is failing because we have not put enough time and energy into it".
What's bizarre about it? Apple developers tend to own other Apple devices and are likely to want to learn Swift on the go.

That page is specifically talking about EMV in the US, and for whatever reason, I've never seen a EMV 'dip' that takes less than 5-10 seconds here. Target for example has consistently been around 10 seconds every time I've used EMV there and I doubt they are using dial-up.
He was quite a bit more physically fit and obviously he was an adult (and a former Navy SEAL) and I was a teenager, so yes he had quite the physiological edge on me.

However, part of what he taught us was that when diving, with our without SCUBA gear, one shouldn't anywhere near approach the limit of one's aerobic capabilities, for precisely the reason of conserving one's air supply (and, honestly to focus on the experience of the dive and the amazing ecosystem around you).

I got much better at reducing my use of air by the time I got my open water cert, but I still never got anywhere near to how little he used.
Cops carry guns and hence should be held to a (much) higher given the ready ability to cause grievous harm.
When I buy a burrito and then look at a receipt (as I always do after buying a burrito) I do not see the visa surcharge, or any others. I see tax but that's it. At the end of the day, the consumer pays, because there is no free lunch, there are no free burritos.

I may have made an incorrect assumption regarding claims handling, though I'm not sure how that translates me to being "very misinformed".

I wasn't speaking only from the vendor perspective (idk what it looks like to them) or the Apple Pay customer's perspective (I'm not one of their customers) but I highly doubt it's worth my time to research to confirm that adding Apple Pay into the mix does not somehow increase the attack surface or how it does not somehow increase the amount of my personal information that is with Apple.
Republicans are not my political opponents. I lean Republican on most issues, including social issues like gun control, abortion, and marriage.

I understand that Bergdahl went AWOL, but I don't think that informed the initial skepticism. Was it even known that he was a suspected desereter until a few days after the fact? Conservative outlets were still talking about how bad the trade was because it represented "negotiating with terrorists" (even though the Taliban is not a terrorist organization) and was 5:1, until one of the members of Bergdahl's old unit went to the media with the desertion story, iirc.

IMO the reaction was driven exclusively by the political expedience of stoking hostility for Obama. That's how politics works -- you never let your enemy score a point if you can help it. It's sad because there was every reason that Bergdahl's release should've been a major celebratory point for the Republicans, even if he was a deserter.
I would start with "real applications" that do very simple things.

Load in an instagram feed. Query some api and show results. Have one model and make a basic CRUD app around it (todo list?).

Do that several times (seriously).

Eventually, when you understand all the basic pieces, start tying two of those things together in one app. You'll learn new things.

As you go on farther, you'll learn the whole stack piecemeal, in digestible amounts.
You are going to get better as you learn more. You will still need to figure out how to set up things but you will have more tools in your tool kit to help you. Keep an open mind and remember you are learning as you struggle through things.
I really enjoyed HFR it only distracted me for the first few minutes.

Oh I meant 2 hours each way (or 4 hours per day) is an extra 2-3 hours on top of what most would view as a typical North American commute (ballparking at 30-60 minutes each way, or 1-2 hours total per day).

The absolute level of craziness of 4 hours commuting daily is pretty high, but the incremental craziness on top of your typical commute is really what I meant here. :)
I've yet to have to put in a pin when I've used my chipped credit card in the US. In fact, I don't even know what the pins are on my credit card, just my debit/atm card.

Worse yet, not all the chip enabled readers have the chip part enabled. So you can stick your card in, wait, and then realize you have to swipe. Otherwise, you swipe, get the suprisingly aggressive BZZZRT sound, and then use the chip reader and wait at least 5 seconds while it authenticates.

I'll time it at the local Target. It's slow.
We used to just call clickbaity headlines "headlines," and the entire point of them is to be concise and get you to read the whole article.
Not even close. Suppose you're testing for something that only occurs in 1% of the population or less. What if the Theranos test just never returns a positive? Then that test is "99% accurate" compared to the "normal" test.

Of course this is just a hypothetical, in real life you have to do a carefully controlled study - which is exactly what the FDA requires.

I'm not going to disagree with you on the CA system (I'd have to understand it more), but aside from being a product of CAs, what is the issue with EV?

EV's biggest problem is DV certificate: it's hard to communicate the nuance between "controls Amazon.com" and "controls Amazon".

EV's were a positive step forward, especially with the introduction of the CA/B Forum, as after Let's Encrypt DVs only value is as an encryption mechanism (i.e. not as security, see phishing).

Those "human factors" are unavoidable - identity is a "human factor".

The integrity of EV is down to the integrity of the CA who are regulated (now) by a strict set of guidelines. So the set of CAs who can administer EVs are a much smaller subset of CAs who can give out DVs.

I have a gay friend activist who held such beliefs when we were both in college. At the time, groups of gay men were going around and yelling at bisexuals and calling them "fence sitters." I even received a bit of attention like this.

It takes forever to get there. We know of no habitable exoplanet yet, so when you do get there, you still live in a tin can in orbit.

I'm not saying we'll never make it. I'm saying the magnitude of the effort is enormous. In a sense, Sart Trek and Star Wars have done a disservice to space exploration by making it seem so easy.

It's important to note that there were no indictments handed down in this case.
