Meh. Seems like a faux controversy. I looked into this a year ago when showing off some simulation software, and read that as best anyone can tell, it was probably flutter.*

In my reading I didn't run into anybody saying that the wind was fluctuating at the natural frequency of the bridge! I also read that the "vortex street" model for the failure had been proposed but discarded during the initial investigation.

After my brief look into it, I got the idea that no serious workers have believed those wrong ideas for many decades.

If some high school teachers somewhere say this was "resonance," that is correct and probably worth teaching ... it's just not resonance at the natural frequency of the bridge in still air.

*Flutter is pretty cool physics. Pinch one end of a a business card, then point the free end of the card into a fan. When the airspeed gets high enough, the card should oscillate like a clarinet reed. Torque from the airstream opposes the restoring torque that keeps the bridge (or business card) level. As the airspeed grows, the net restoring force drops towards zero and the resonant frequency falls. At zero you're toast, there's no net restoring force at all.
I think they understand what you're saying. I agree with the other two that not having a clean, working standard means you get people rolling their own or digging out libraries. Quality varies wildly cuz we're talking random numbers with many issues resulting. People would still want a standard, in C or C++, that lets them do this correctly without problems.

So, it leads me to guess there's two ways the the C++ situation would've been made unnecessary:

1. Leave it out of C itself but pro's build and maintain a de facto standard in form of a library as easy to use as random and widely available. Can even be OS random facilities cleanly wrapped.

2. Put a good one in C standard. Becomes the standard de facto and officially.

Preconditions didn't exist or convenience prevailed. So, now there's a new attempt at dealing with the mess. That's my guess as a person looking on from the outside rather than a user of all these tools. Just to be clear on that part.
Thanks, Fabio! :)
You make it sound pretty simple. It's not simple at all. Having untreated depression or anxiety during pregnancy also has bad effects on the child. This is not a decision you make based on one study you read on the internet. You make it based on lots of research, preferably with the help of a perinatal psychiatrist.
4 months into a new job, and I realized I had contributed about -4000 lines of code. I thought, how weird it would be to explain (especially to someone less technical), that I'd pretty much just been deleting code since I started. I'd also added a number of important features along the way.

Since then, I've taken some pride in trying to be a "net negative" (by line count), contributor to any code base I work on. Not always possible, but it's a good mindset to strive for leaner designs/implementations.
Does anyone have current performance data for the Dogs of the Dow or Motley Fool Foolish Four (?) strategies?
But http://domain.com and https://domain.com are two entirely different sites aren't they? They could serve totally unrelated content.
Couldn't comment on the blog, but yes, you should have one resistor per LED. The I-V curve for LEDs (which is looks like a cliff and has a flat region we simplify as the "forward voltage drop") varies from component-to-component and also with the temperature. Attaching them directly in parallel means that an uneven amount of current will flow through each LED. Not only that, but the LED with the most current will heat up, and its forward voltage will decrease, causing even more current to flow through it. Depending on what equilibrium is reached, this could result in that LED burning out (and the effect continuing on other LEDs), although the more typical result is just one LED that is much brighter than the others (since ultimately some steady-state will be achieved).

With multiple resistors, the ID curve for each resistor-LED pair doesn't have a flat region, but instead a sloped region, and the resulting currents will be more or less equal.

To be clear, you're not purchasing "good" reviews,or even reviews at all, if you're following the TOS.

Amazon frowns on including anything sales related in their messaging system, so you have to drive the person who is likely to review to your product from outside Amazon....therefore that solution, while a great idea, isn't allowed by Amazon...

This could certainly be critical. Just a theory: Perhaps moving domains triggered a "recalculation" of the link values to the site, and he fell due to violations like this?
I agree that setting a limit (rather than getting rid of deductions altogether) could be beneficial, while also eliminating a lot of the abuse, but there is one other thing to consider:

If the limit is $10,000, the middle class and wealthy gain the benefits of directing tax dollars while the underclass remain unrepresented.

I'm a capitalist through and through (you might guess that based on my ideas herein), but giving different people different rules is always a problem.

> Yahoo is the Nth highest-traffic site in the English speaking world, where N is probably > 100.

That's true of most sites in the English speaking world. If you remove the fuzziness of "probably", its true of all but 100.

> It strains credulity to imagine that a site with that much traction truly has negative value.

That only makes a little bit of sense if you flip the > to be a <.

But even then, traffic is a cost driver; its only worth something if you have an effective way of monetize it. "We lose money on every transaction, but make up for it in volume" is as much of a fallacy with web sites where the transactions are "visits" as it is for any other type of interaction.
Google webmaster tools are awful. They treat the regular domain and www as well as https / http as separate, so every website shows up as four sites.
If they disallow them how's a 13 year old going to register their drone as required?
This is really sad.
Not to change the subject, but I'm wondering how difficult it would be to live in a Van in SV and work as a Software Dev?

The temperature seems right, how hard would it be doing a stealth van situation and showering at the gym?
What is the current average in a language like C# or Java for a skilled developer? Average that goes into production rather than what's likely thrown away.
What if you returned a 301 to the new URL? You'd think Google would have logic to get that kind of hint.
Yeah I am definitely not going to pore over thousands of words in an intentionally-obtuse legal document just to check out Periscope or whatever.
No, nene, no.

"No plans" means exactly "by chance". Bad plans can do considerably worse than chance.

What organizations need to learn how to do (and unfortunately to this day Excel isn't particularly enabling) is sensitivity analysis.

One of my corporate parlor tricks is to render valuation spreadsheets (which are typically cashflows dependent on scenario parameters) into Matlab and giving each unknown parameter a distribution from three-point estimates (min/most likely/max). The difference between good plans and bad plans is the probability that your best valuation exceeds your WACC or the turnkey price to be paid or some such method.

People are often impressed that the difference between good and bad plans even exists.
Ok, then I probably got confused because I read it on your blog. Family has asked me to set up something for calendar sharing over the holidays, so I've been looking at the post a few times.
Why is that against the rules? Asking for links is not against the rules.
I've read similar horror stories. Everyone should be aware of this penalties and the numerous steps that need to be taken:

Yup. Finished the article before I realized the design was all wrong, (figured Paul Graham had a guest poster or something).
Show management a picture of the code. Show them a visualization of all of it with its myriad connections. Tell them you just got rid of 4,000 lines of that crap. Show a visualization that's smaller and connected neatly. Promise to continue attempting this incrementally and safely in between new features. New features that are coded similarly neat.

Not sure if it will work but I keep wanting to see someone try it. :)
I'd like to give some high tech answer, but that's not the case. If you interface externally - consulting, dev evangelism, conferences, tech sales - then yep, paper biz cards are still used.
I realize that. I work in the health "insurance" industry (as a vendor).

Notwithstanding that, it was considered a voluntary procedure, though there was no way the stone would pass (11mm x 6mm) - average ureter size is 3-5mm and I had to sit in the billing office and work out a 'financial solution' with them prior to authorizing surgery (negotiating anything while in this much pain would probably be considered close to coercion).

As an aside, I really dislike "Obamacare", as a name. The Affordable Care Act. As an aside, a survey a few years ago asked self-identified Republicans this: "Would you prefer some form of affordable care act as an alternative to Obamacare?", to which many replied in the affirmative. There's too much potential for bias.

That is 100% intentional. Those could all technically be served by different machines and controlled by different people. It's an abundance of caution in making sure that you can only change settings and view stats for things you've proven you have control over.
This guy actually has some of the highest quality writing I've ever read on a subject. I used it to help my back pain couple of years ago.

If there is anyone at Google reading this, give this guy a manual boost or something, you won't find better quality info anywhere.
Yea but can't you use canonical tags on the original site so Google's index is updated with the new URL, thus avoiding duplicate content problems?
I wish the output from git diff used red for new lines and green for removed lines...
OpenAI Should Hold Off on Choosing Tactics
Technologically, yes. But a well-behaved site shouldn't do that; it breaks the expectations of both people and tools. Either serve the same content, or (even better) serve a redirect.
Right, but it's still a net loss to them. If I have $200M in unrealized long-term capital gains (taxed federally at 20% for 2015), I have $160M in after tax potential. By donating $100M, I'm losing $60M in potential cash as opposed to paying my fair share. Aside from certain intangible benefits from donating my stock, I'm actively incentivized (to the tune of $60M) NOT to donate.

There is at least one caveat to the above. As long as I donate to a 501(c)(3) entity, I can choose any entity I want - even one I control. The Bill and Melinda Gates foundation is an example of an extremely wealthy couple "donating" to an entity they effectively control. (I assume they do, since it bears their name. I haven't looked up their management structure.) This entity must use their donations in accordance with the entity's stated mission statement, or they risk losing their non-profit status. Beyond this, the donated money is still mostly controlled (within the bounds of the non-profit's stated mission) by the wealthy couple that donated. Aside from using the funds for "pet" projects with dubious public value, this opens up another potential caveat, non-profit bribery.

It is possible for donations or non-profit entity direction to be applied as a tax-free bribe. I might donate to develop a park in a city I hope to win a contract from. I could fund a non-profit campaign for reform on legislation that might benefit an industry my business is in. I could direct a non-profit I control to purchase supplies from a specific vendor as a favor for special consideration in pricing.
Asking for links just to boost search engine ranking is at least frowned upon, if not "against the rules". See this[1] for an extreme example of how seriously Google takes this.

You can actually mark one of the URLs as canonical if you want to keep both sites up.
What happens if you don't provide sensible, easy-to-use built-in implementations of things is that a diverse, bewildering ecosystem of different options tends to arise, confusing programmers who just want to get their job done and leading to a high probability of them picking the wrong thing.

Sure... but what happens if you do specify that implementations should be built-in is that a diverse, bewildering ecosystem of broken implementations get built in, and so people who know what they're doing end up eschewing the built-in implementations in favour of shipping with an implementation which they know works. And ultimately you have a standard function which everybody provides for compatibility purposes, but which nobody should ever use. See, for example, random(3).

Functionality should be added to standards when we can be confident that every implementation in the next 100 years will get it right, and no sooner.
I also came here expecting to see this as the top comment and also to mention what exactly I use Youtube comments for.
That's probably what he did - it's the best practise, I believe.
No idea if this is the cause, and I agree the process shouldn't be this opaque, but "pain relief" is a pretty big category of spam. It's possible that those keywords in the domain are detrimental.
I think they do. If you setup 301 wildcard redirects, google should replace the old site's urls with the new one in their index over time, after they've been crawled. (at least from what I remember when I was digging into it myself)
I've proven I have control over all of them. I could also happily tell Google they're the same if it can't work this out for itself.
This was my thought, as well. It seems like a safer, softer way to test out the transition.
The old domain (saveyourself.ca) mentioned in the article does do this.
You could also serve entirely different sites to chrome and to firefox.
What here needs to be investigated?

Presumably we have a trade embargo with ISIS?

I'm not an expert on military strategy, but if our aim is to bomb all their equipment, we should probably investigate the possibility of not selling them replacement equipment?
Or, more likely, the domain move triggered a manual review and somebody at Google didn't like this page.
I think changing a privacy policy without destroying data received under an older policy is illegal in the Netherlands. As it should.

The largest supermarket chain (AH) here implemented a new loyalty program with personalized promotions last year, for which they needed changes in their privacy policy. They had to delete all their customer data and start completely new - re-registration of customers, giving out new passes and everything.

* This is further harmed by it being surprising to people that trucks could be profitably shipped all the way to the Middle East. *

This really frustrates me - because its 7100 km from TX to Syria, while Japan is 10000 km away. If you include things like convenience of shipping, it's probably easier to move things between Syria and TX than Japan and TX (because there is a direct ocean route that doesn't involve major canals or going around pesky continents).
I've seen Black hat SEO tips saying you should set up a network of sites, one with fake/paid links to it, the second a redirect of the first, and some other stuff I don't recall right now. The point was that a ban of the domain would let you change to a new domain and keep all the paid links, and it would somehow fool Google's algorithm.

Just saying, there are legitimate reasons Google may have decided to penalize domain names. People do abuse them.
They probably have the skills to acquire it without contacting GitHub as well. But that may be bad PR...
Making our pageview data easily accessible
I can equally imagine someone being irate if Google treated them the same. Might as well at least be technically correct if you're always going to annoy half of the people either way.
The drivers seem to object to a few scenarios:

1) Low-rated passengers.

2) Requests that require significant travel for pickups that are likely to result in short rides (pickup request comes from a downtown bar with next destination likely to be another downtown bar, the driver himself is not very close to downtown). Happens under low driver supply. https://www.reddit.com/r/uberdrivers/comments/2mykji/my_repl...

3) Requests happening while the driver is "chasing the surge" and heading towards high-surge area while driving in non-surge vicinity and receiving a non-surge request just by being nearby.

One thing that I would like to have is a common base class that can be passed around. Often, I would like for a function orclass to be told which engine to use, quite useful for unit testing, or for having reproducible results. As it is, the only way to accept multiple different engines is by templating over the engine type. This ends up requiring that every part of the code that uses the random engine be brought into the header file, and classes need to be templated on the engine type to store a reference to the engine.

I was kind of hoping that the `random_generator` class would be a templated class derived from a non-templated base class, so that it could be used in this manner. Looking over it, I can see why it doesn't, as many of the methods are much, much more useful as templated methods, which do not interact nicely with virtual functions.

Later on they say that for foreign nationals it's only a certificate of "ownership" , not a certificate of "recognition of registration". I'm not sure what the difference is.
However it looks like permanent residents are lumped with citizens when it comes to being allowed to register.
The "underclass" likely already don't gain any benefits because they almost certainly take the standard deduction instead of itemizing.
That's kind of what I meant by messy, so few people know how to resolve the two sets of rules.

Google doesn't take well to people asking for links to their site. Asking for links, buying for links, or spamming your link is something that Google doesn't like. Just from this, I can already see your expertise in SEO. Although having this post at the top of Hacker News is going to help this a bit.

Anyone with basic SEO knowledge could have told you the pitfalls of transferring domains. This reads closer to trying to blame Google for your lack of traffic, rather than what you learned from the experience. From my experience, Google's algorithm is finicky, but if your site is sound and has good content you have little to fear.
Well, you could make it 1K$. But I think the issue is to try to make it harder to use donations for tax-avoidance by very rich people; this isn't really about the middle class vs poor people (who tend to pay fewer taxes anyway).

I think another general issue is that many deductible donations go towards organizations that spend very little on their prescribed cause; or aren't non-profits or for the benefit of the public at all.
I don't get it. Why shouldn't Yahoo pay the taxes? They invested in Alibaba, and have made HUGE gains, and if they want to realize those gains, they need to pay the taxes.
This is one of the reasons why I would probably never, ever, ever try build a business around any kind of content marketing (as controversial as that sounds.) I know that content marketing is all the rage at the moment and few books would advise against doing it for customer acquisition: but there is always that hidden, implicit assumption with this technique that the organic traffic you build up belongs to you (which is provably false.) It's quite deceptive to think of organic traffic as an asset when Google can take it away at any time (and often without even realizing.) Instead: I would much rather use explicit paid channels and relationships with advertisers then depend on the good graces of Google for my conversions.

I hope that OPs business can recover in time and thanks for posting this. You will probably save a lot of people thousands of dollars in the long run.
Thanks! You can try adding the one-liners in your "main" method. (You will need Java 8 and rapidoid-http-fast added as dependency).
I'd recommend doing some more reading on the health care system in India. I believe that it worked really well for the poster; my initial research seems to indicate that there's a huge difference between the health care you can get in urban areas of India and the health care you can get if you're poor and rural. It's easy to build a health care system that works for people with money.

The infant mortality rate in India was 38 per 1,000 in 2015. That's really not good.
Lightning and USB-C aren't really comparable because USB-C supports USB 3.1 while Lightning is limited to USB 2 speeds for everything, including video out. Which means that Apple have to compress the video out and stick an entire ARM SoC in their very expensive AV adapter to decompress it, and this degrades the picture quality. By comparison, USB-C can carry uncompressed HD video, power, and a fast USB 3 data link at the same time using (at least in theory) cheap, mostly-passive adapters.
