I absolutely do, but thanks for being condescending nonetheless.

Read C source. Then go read the machine code that C compiles into. I assure you that the C is far, far more readable even if you've HEAVILY obfuscated it.

In order to better understand this, I present you with a StackOverflow answer: http://stackoverflow.com/a/331474

This:

int get_int(int c);

int main(void) {

int a = 1, b = 2;

return getCode(a) + b;

}

Might yield this:

00000000 <main>:

int get_int(int c);

int main(void) { /* here, the prologue creates the frame for main /

I don't know why people find this notion that web assembly probably will make it easier to hide nefarious payloads so offensive. It's demonstrably true! People find out about open source projects "calling home" much, much faster than they do closed source projects.

Go look at the spec. It's at a much lower level of abstraction than JavaScript is. https://github.com/WebAssembly/design/blob/master/AstSemanti...

My parents let me play in the cul-de-sac all the time. It's why we moved to one!

One time as an adult, I got a cop called because my music was too loud. The next day, I went to all my adjacent neighbors and said, without malice, "If there are any issues, I'm receptive to being a good neighbor, let me know if I can help".

I would have done the same thing in the instance of CPS called on my kids. "Hello, I watch my children and they know how to handle themselves on our home street. If you see a dangerous situation, let me know immediately and we'll work to fix it."

Then, if they have any issue with that, we can have it out.
Seems pretty efficient to me, at least per watt.
This is amazing. I interpret it as a clever and hilarious parody of what GMail has actually become.
The graph shows both. They track pretty closely until the 1980s, with the exception being that brief couple year export spike which was not matched by imports.
The US Post Office is utterly, profoundly reliable.
One common objection to the theory of evolution claims that the theory is self contradictory. It says that it is impossible for complex features such as wings, eyes etc to evolve because they will require a series of mutations that do not individually confer any evolutionary advantage. Since they do not have any evolutionary advantage, they cannot spread in the population. Therefore the chance of these mutations appearing in series is almost as small as these mutations appearing simultaneously. The chance of these mutations appearing simultaneously is, of course, astronomically small.

The usual counterargument says that just one mutation is usually enough to create a functional prototype of a complex feature/organ (MVP, if you please). A series of mutations is not required.

This study provides yet another example backing this counterargument. One single mutation can change an unicellular entity and make it behave like a multi cellular organism. Intuitively, one would think this would take many mutations. However, intuition is wrong in this case, and in many others.
If we had selected from or joined on BOOK, it would be a Boolean expression. But in this case, BOOK is undefined, so BOOK.LANGUAGE.eq("DE") shouldn't type check at all.

The corresponding SQL is nonsensical:

select * from AUTHOR where BOOK.LANGUAGE = 'DE'
I will say that though I let my child walk to school, most of the parents at that school who are driving their children are not what I would classify as "Millennial" (I'm assuming that mostly applies to college aged adults right now).

Even as an older parent myself, I will also say that I have some nervousness about letting children walk because I find that drivers are more distracted and careless than they were when I was walking to school. If you are walking at an intersection where a right turn on red is allowed, you better have your head on a swivel because there's a good chance no one is looking at you, at least not where I am. If they need to cross an especially busy street with fast moving traffic, I'm also concerned about drivers with cell phones not paying attention to the road. I'm not sure I trust my 8 year old to have the situational awareness to know that drivers are discourteous or distracted.

But... it's worth the risk for the independence, and it is fairly rare that there's a pedestrian involved accident, but not unheard of where I live.
I don't see how they got that information from the linked Bloomberg source. There is this information about a gender gap though: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-10-20/the-real-... What I'm mainly trying to figure out is if this is the mean (possibly affected by a few outliers) or a median. The gender pay gap is visible in the median.

Morality from religion? Please. Who practices what Jesus personally told his believers to do?

"anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her the victim of adultery, and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery." Matthew 5:32

Combine that with God's official "Thou shalt not commit adultery"

And especially for the protestants, directly by Jesus again:

"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal." Matthew 6:19 "But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal."

And of course, who does this, as Jesus says:

"And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire." Matthew 18:9

Now explain why you don't do what Jesus and God personally, according to the holy books, tell you to do if you get the morality from the religion.

Even if you are a believer you have to see that it's a human consensus that decides what's moral at any particular point in time. That consensus was historically at some times at some places more influenced by some holy books, therefore the witch hunt ("Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.") and luckily it's not that much anymore, at least in Europe.

Have even more fun trying to accept the morality from Islam holy books. Note the whole Quran is claimed to be the actual "words of God.": "Whoso fighteth in the way of Allah, be he slain or be he victorious, on him We shall bestow a vast reward." Quran (4:74)

It's not a special card in that way -- your regular mobile provider SIM still works just as always.

The Microsoft "special" sim card is presumably a standard multi-MVNO sim card with (presumably) some nice app for buying service. Similar to Apple SIM or Google Fi.

It's nice to have for people who and aren't carrying around SIM cards to swap around. (Maybe they don't know what a SIM card is, or maybe they haven't had time to burn 2 hours in a mobile provider shop to get one). They can buy a device, turn it on, and the app walks them through buying data automatically so everything "just works".
Is your spouse cool with that line of thinking? It's legit, odds are nothing bad will happen but we live in a fear based society anymore...

I live in a fairly well-to-do bedroom community, it's a rural area a short drive from some bigger cities in Colorado. The neighborhood nextdoor.com info is an interesting read. The sheriff (we don't have town police, it's a small place, 5000ish people) is called for ringing and running, that's like the main offense. It seems like there are fears when there are work men of color in the area doing things (building new houses, etc..) it appears that their presence correlates to the crime of breaking in to cars in neighboring cities, at least in the minds of some. I can confess there is a slight feeling of isolation at times, like if you had a problem you couldn't solve, it could take 15-30minutes for a police officer to help you but in 8 years I'm unaware of such a problem happening in the town. For the most part it is insanely safe, like you could leave your doors unlocked and expect no issues.

When my son get's on the school bus, he has to swipe a badge. They can track where he get's on a bus and where he get's off. That's what we've come to. They have 4 different kinds of "drills." There is the fire drill we all grew up with. There is "lock down" where they all stay in their class rooms and lock the doors. There is a harder form of that where they stay in the class rooms, lock all the doors and windows and the try to hide. Then there is a drill where they go in the school basement, being that there are tornados in the area from time to time that's not too unreasonable but the staff is open with parents that it's for the event that there is some sort of a disturbance that is used to draw kids outside to attack in the open. The school itself (this is K-5) has locks on all doors, you have to buzz in, or swipe a badge at any time of day.

It's all in how you look at it, I guess. The technology is fairly inexpensive and if it helps with anything, then maybe it seems worth it. It's definitely playing in to the culture of fear that exists though. What's really shocking, at least to me, is how cool everyone seems to be with everything. We got emails from the school when the did some of the drills, just to let us know our kids might tell us about something odd that they did. I can't imagine how they'd possibly let middle-school or younger kids on public transportation around here.

Hans Island is of no value to anybody. But neither country wants to back down, fearing it might set a nasty precedent.

That $25ooo actually went only to a court order so that they could receive a copy of the documentation about the case leading up to the search. The cost of the case to the Harte family was not mentioned, and I'm hoping it was done on contingency.

If you one starts to look at the things we do as a classification, then it gets very messy very fast.

I work on magic boxes all day and construct intangible realities that spit out numbers. Am I still the same group as a member of a tribe untouched by modern civilization in the depths of the Amazon?

What about the same group as Kelly Johnson? Tim Berners-Lee? Vint Cerf? Jack Kilby or Robert Noyce? GalileoPascalNewtonFranklinEulerFourierMaxwellCurie? MandelaDeKlerkMLKGandi?

It seems pretty presumptuous to say "we (as a pan-global diaspora) have achieved great things, therefore we are all special."
iOS Notes syncs with Exchange and IMAP at a minimum. I'm not sure if the updated features work outside the native Notes storage though.
For about the last year that I was in the military, I started using a shaving brush and safety razor. It was the best, though I usually had to shave twice (down then up) to get the closeness required of a military shave. Reading this and thinking back, perhaps I should have tried a straight razor. I never shave anymore so perhaps it could be something new to try.
I recently learned that the rules of Tetris are surprisingly subtle. For example, depending on how piece rotation is implemented, it may or may not be possible to clear three lines with a T piece ("T-spin triple").

These pseudo 'generations' like Millenials, Gen-Y, Gen-X etc are really just marketing demographics that have become mainstream.

Probably 36 year olds shop similarly to 20 year olds.

Food for thought:

Some say capitalism distorts and invades our language. This is why church groups have annual general meetings, and why ministers wear suits. It's why terms like 'cost benefit analysis' creep into settings like child care and recreational activities. It's why teachers say to kids: 'Can you not hit people going forward?' It's why on the news 'people' are referred to as 'consumers' and so on.
Ford First Automaker to Test Autonomous Cars in Winter Weather, Snow
Imagine you're figuring out the chance that you'll die this year. Let's say you're 30--probably a common age on HN. There's a 10% chance that you're in the last 10% of your life. Therefore, there's a 10% chance that you'll die in the next three years.

If you sold life insurance using those kinds of numbers, you'd have some woes.

If you can't use probability meaningfully, it's better not to use it at all; it obfuscates.

It's called signing legally binding contract on using API between Google and Routebuilder with costs, availability and interface specified. Contracts like this are getting signed all the time - for well known examples look at Microsoft/Bing providing search results to Yahoo and Stripe providing CC processing to Starbucks. You do not need a new law for that.
In all honesty, I don't care what it does, as long as it's back relatively quickly when I need it.
This title is way better. Designer + Man of Mystery are completely vague. His name, + his role, + his organization drew me to the headline.

How Does Chrysler's Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid Minivan Get 80 MPGe?
Well, that's kind of starting to happen with higher education going into the twenties and independent family life only beginning in people's thirties, sometimes even late thirties.

I don't know if there is a way to avoid this issue with some lawyering but loaning money for options was apparently somewhat common in the 90s tech bubble. [1]

Unfortunately what happened was that when the bubble burst, and many companies went under, the board and management resigned, leaving the company in the mercy of creditors. These creditors sometimes when after these employee loans and they had to pay them back while the stock they received was worthless.

Depends. If they are the only providers, you might want to avoid it. Take OSM - you could use the API with leaflet and their server, but if they can no longer afford the hosting costs and close the service, you could download a copy of the database yourself, and host your own copy.

As a rule of thumb, try to use something standardized, with more than one implementations.
We say no to these deals because the cost of doing them is too great.

While Epicureanism was an atheistic philosophy, Stoics very much did believe in God. It's all through Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius.
By that logic everything has a 10% chance of ending in the next (history length / 10) period. The year has a greater than 10% chance of ending in the next 2 days. Apple has a greater than 10% chance of closing up shop in the next 5 years. There is a 10% chance that Y Combinator won't exist in a year. It is a prediction based on assumptions about statistics and takes nothing else into consideration.
That is true, however the only 3rd party apps allowed on CarPlay right now are music apps (using a very basic hierarchical/tree API). The lack of CarPlay support isn't Google/Waze's fault.

It's also worth noting that Android Auto only allows 3rd party apps that do music and messaging. No 3rd party navigation apps, not even Waze.
In the release notes they state that the device still needs to be registered. Mine were, so I can't tell you whether this really still is required.

It's a nice thought, but in practice I doubt it matters all that much. I remember when I was a kid, for most of the class computers were meant for one thing and one thing only:

Playing Oregon Trail.

But there are always one or two kids (I was one of them and I bet you were too!) who wanted to play with code or build something. For those interested in computers, we'll find how to get our hands on them!
Since the researcher was reconstructing the evolution of a protein I would say the date was determined using a technique called the molecular clock: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_clock

I think iPads in education are really aimed at replacing textbooks, which in their paper form never gave students any authoring/hacking capability either. In this context, consumption is the correct way to think of what the iPad enables. But instead of thinking of it like a broken computer, folks can think of it like a lighter, more up-to-date, interactive textbook.

In terms of evaluating Apple as a company, one has to look at their whole product line. iPads may be locked down, but Macs are great platforms for kids to tinker. They ship with a ton of programming languages and integrate with all sorts of free open source technologies.

And I agree that personal hardware is the best place to hack. Decades ago, school computers were the only place to hack because school was the only place to actually put hands on a computer. Today computers (even Macs) are much more affordable, especially used.

Then, high-order computation like power is again more efficient than simple linear model. Those two directions are quite probable.
