do you have data to back this up? I would argue an index dropping 99% would mean quite a bit more than a 7% drop- this sounds like the devaluation of the german currency more than a market drop.
Why do people have so much resentment for child porn users? The only harm they're doing is participating in a market in which other participants abuse people. It's equivalent to hating drug users for indirectly funding murderous Mexican drug gangs. Sure it's a bit bad, but HN commenters seem to be much happier with drug users than child porn users.

There's also the fact that child-abuse porn is lumped in the same basket as harmless pictures of naked children. The latter in itself it harmless - many parents take photos of their children in the bath, etc. But somehow it transforms from good to worse-than-bad if someone gets sexual pleasure from it.
Don't be so hard on the US. We have a sycophantic prime minister who would do anything the US asked, legal or not (just ask Dotcom) it's hardly fair on the US to expect this not to be used to mild advantage. New Zealand, John Key.
There is absolutely no proof that they used a zero-day exploit in this case.

I remember reading an article that said a good way to deal with the anxiety of throwing stuff away is to take photos of it. Because generally, you know you're not going to miss it in any practical sense, you're just going to miss having it, and in that sense a photo is almost as good.

For school, it is illegal not to attend. This means in America that people with guns can forcibly detain children not in school during the school day. Police proudly do so in an attempt to defeat crime since, in their opinion, all children not under the watch of an adult are criminals. How can being threatened with gun violence by the authorities not be coercion?

They also have the power to rip a child from their parents. This is biologically a very serious threat.
Might be true that violence is needed in our civilization. Hard to say; hard to predict the future.

But your examples aren't really a good argument. Internet might've been started by anybody. Furthermore, who knows how many great things we didn't do yet because the gov't took our money at gunpoint. And so on.

I am quite happy that something as important as password hashing uses precisely defined technical language to describe its operation.

The evaluation of which password-hashing function to use probably should not be based on the simplicity of language used in their description.
I never saw them involved in the service business at all, to me they were a hardware company and nothing else. That's how I look at my phone (and computers too), as pieces of hardware not tied to any particular service or eco-system unless I decide they should be. I don't buy subsidized phones with a 'plan' and what software comes with the computer I buy is wiped out before it even gets run once.
I think the reasoning behind the debate is that, together, they mostly obsolete C/C++. Go takes the high-end and Rust takes the low-end, and there's no niche left for C to occupy in the middle.

I guess the real answer is, if you want to learn "the language that people will be using instead of C in ten years"... learn both of them.
It is far easier for someone who has been free and living life with eyes wide open to understand and play the game if they choose than it is for someone who has lived a life under authority to suddenly have tremendous freedom. This is why many young adults flounder in their 20s. They have never been free and suddenly they are. With no direction and no restraint learned, this can be very dangerous.

But that video would be easy to obtain for anyone, so the business model of selling it would not be a threat to Disney.

Further more, if you're in the business of selling public domain works, don't expect the courts to protect you when Disney comes knocking about your use of their character on the video cover. Even though you can sell the video, you don't own the rights. You would have very little to say in court except "I want to make money from public domain art".

And you wouldn't be permitted to sell collections of Disney films, even those expired. From what I understand, that is not allowed when selling public domain works. For example you wouldn't be allowed to sell a "best of old Disney films" collection, or have a website called "Mickey Mouse Movie Store", even if all the movies were in the public domain.
This is what I do (I keep an eye on a rolling fortnightly average), though I don't currently measure body fat, but some people can stop themselves fixating on single results which leads to unnecessary worry and micromanaging - incorrect micromanaging at that (eating less when the extra weight that day is mostly water, and cutting out more of the better things when eating less so ending up with a worse nutritional balance).

But I thought that Windows XP SP 2 (what I use) was the final version of Windows that didn't need to check in with Microsoft periodically (every few weeks?) or it would stop working. At least that's what Microsoft's original plans were; perhaps they relaxed that requirement?

The problem is that C++ is a language where the "top 150,000 most essential things to get you started with C++" is a volume that spans several book shelves. Even Bjarne Stroustrup allegedly rated his own C++ skills at maybe 7 out of 10. If you start with C++, you're committed to a multi year project, that's what it takes to advance from novice to junior level.

Good idea!

If you want to a discount right now for upgrading two accounts, do the following:

1. On the checkout page, there's an "I'm feeling generous" button which increases the yearly price from $48 to $60 (idea borrowed from NewsBlur)
2. After upgrading, email steve@readlang.com letting me know the email address of the other person, and I'll upgrade their account manually.

This'll work out at $30 each instead of $48. If you have an odd number of people, email me and we'll work something else out.

This is exactly what your grandparent (and parent to some extent) comments are arguing against.

There aren't 2 different kinds of research, kind A that is never gonna go anywhere and kind B that is visionary. The vast majority of the advancement of knowledge has been what academia has always valued: probably never gonna go anywhere, but might push the envelope by an inch or a millimeter. The whole reason you have to research a thing is you don't know whether it's gonna go anywhere.

Which isn't how we think in industry, not even in industry R&D. We have to know it'll probably to go somewhere, or at least have a small chance of going really far. That's the only way to get a profit in expectation.

But work that will probably go nowhere or even if it does go somewhere, won't get very far, like most of scientific progress? The point of systems like tenure is to foster that, since industry can't.

How to choose a college with viewpoint diversity
One reason I do most of my programming from Windows is because I find Linux programming tools to be either very bare-bones, UI/UX-wise or some kind of ill-fitting cross-platform Java thing. I'm talking about run of the mill stuff like a Git UI, Diff Viewer, Text editors, Icon editors and other specialty image and file editors...and also bigger apps that people usually name.

Maybe you prefer a terminal and maybe your terminal can do what my GUI tools can do or maybe they can't or vice-versa. There's going to be a lot of bias when you work and give your life to these things. To me, Linux is a really nice server or device that I use to run stuff but that's all it will ever be until it has a plethora of high quality GUI apps that I want to use.
This is the origination of null terminated strings in C:

"In BCPL, the first packed byte contains the number of characters in the
string; in B, there is no count and strings are terminated by a special character, which B spelled
‘*e’. This change was made partially to avoid the limitation on the length of a string caused by
holding the count in an 8- or 9-bit slot, and partly because maintaining the count seemed, in our
experience, less convenient than using a terminator.

It's greed. Capitalism only works if you have a strong set of checks and balances. You need everyone watching everyone else.

The United States kinda works. It only kinda works because crooks, blatant they be, in the end, get caught. The corrupt politican will eventually get caught. The corrupt building inspector will eventually get caught. The Doctor who performs unnessary surgeries eventually gets caught.

I don't believe we have the best system, but I do believe we are the best at squashing corruption.

All the wanna be capitalistic countries need to cure corruption before being capitalists. You can't have both. I have always found corruption despicipable. Even thinking about it now infuriates me. I live among very rich individuals. So many of them stepped on others in order to get their wad. All are in denial. And they wonder why their kids look at them with such contempt.

Yes--America has its share of wormy, corrupt, in denial, weasels. We just seem to have less than other countries?

I don't know what the future will bring. I have seen some people do some despicipable things in order to get ahead. I didn't find The Social Network cool. I saw a vile, little man, do anything in order to get ahead. Yes--my generation had Wallstreet. Most of us didn't find it cool. I'm not saying my generation were saints, but we didn't do it all for the paper.

Couldn't we build an inventory of every damn molecule occuring naturally in
human bodies, tagged by the subsystems they are associated with (blood
circulation, cell cores, digestion etc.) and then run simulations that tell
you for a new chemical what they can bond with and what exposure is safe?

In a word? No. Not at all. Modeling the behavior of individual proteins is a NP-hard problem [0]. Modeling the behavior of multiple proteins interacting is even worse. And modeling the behavior of thousands of proteins, under the influence of thousands of unregulated chemicals is a combinatorial explosion of NP hard problems.

This assumes you want longterm health and survival.
Sorry but this is just wrong. You do not need several years to get productive in C++. Very few professional C++ developers are using every feature of the language. You could spend a year mastering template metaprogramming alone, but do you need it? Not most of the time. Interfacing with good C++ libs (another reason to learn C++) does not require metaprogramming, and many other features fall into a the same category. Saying there are 150,000 required learning points is sensationalism and just downright false.
When you decide to have a kid it's not just about you anymore.

I've only started the read the canonical Go Programming Language book, but I believe that Go also permits shared-memory concurrency, it just advocates for CSP harder.
I think that Rust simplifies some things that you must do yourself in C++, and learning how to do them is valuable. At the very least, it will help you appreciate other languages, but it can also show you areas where you get manual control over performance in ways no other language offers.

And, perhaps most significantly, there are a wealth of C++ libraries out there that have no equivalent in other languages, and being able to use them is an education in itself.
One simple way in which I could create a ton of instant criminals is to embed a url with a page with illegal content into the frameset of a site that shows normal content but in such a way that you can't really see it.

It wouldn't take much either (reocities.com) to put this terrible plan into action, it wouldn't take much for a hacker either to pull this stunt on unsuspecting visitors of a compromised site.

Neither of those should have any implications for the visitors of the original site. Web joe-jobs are super easy to put into play.

Because you expect most news about US cops to report abusive behaviors. Whether the problem is with you, with US cops or with news can be debated, but that's clearly the sign of some problem(s).

I successfully encouraged my boss to donate to GnuPG (https://gnupg.org/donate/index.html) when it was covered in the media.

> If you start with C++, you're committed to a multi year project, that's what it takes to advance from novice to junior level.

This is nonsense. Perhaps it's true to some degree if you try to "learn" C++ from tutorials of dubious quality rather than from a decent book.
You may find the book "Democracy, the God that failed" from Herman Hoppe interesting (or you may find him too weird). Although cronyism is one of the main culprit, he gives other reasons for the inferiority of the Democracy. Bare in mind that he is an anti-statist and anarcho-capitalist. His proposed practical solution is de-centralization of governments to as small as possible pieces.

He has a related shorter variation here:

The whole C++ language is indeed a monstrosity designed by a committee that resulted from years of piling up "requested features", but with "modern" C++14 they try to narrow-down the idiomatic constructs to a smaller, more manageable set.
This is one of those questions that's hard to answer, because by framing the answer you're already analyzing the UI, thereby making it less confusing.

One irritant was getting the phrasal popup repeatedly. Once it's appeared, I pretty much already know I can't do that (as noted by others already). The default should be something like deselecting the first word to allow me to look at the other. Put a non-modal message somewhere obvious that says "hey, if you log in you can see phrase translations, too".

I think your idea of seamlessness with a cookie is really promising. Let me see what it does, but warn me that I'm going to run into a limit. Maybe.

There was no real try-it-out-now link (that I saw - I'm not looking at it now, just reporting my perceptions at the time) except for trying it out on the Spanish quote - which again, I found remarkably clever. But the result is that I wasn't entirely clear about what you were actually offering. Possibly a little picture of the main UI somewhere on the front page might help. Not sure on that - as I said, it wasn't that difficult to poke around and find things once I decided I was interested, but I normally don't notice that phase at all, if you see what I mean.

Hope that helps.
