Speaking as a hunter, your assertion that northern climates (I live in the north) produce more game is false. Deer populations, to use one example, thrive in warm temps. Also, compare the African savannah and its abundance of game animals to, say, northern Canada.

The real reasons are probably topography and game habits. The north is generally pretty flat and the ground is often frozen, making travel easy. And in cold temperatures, game often clusters together for warmth and follows predictable movement patterns because there are only so many places to find food. And finally, snow makes it easy to track game of any size.

These are all important in modern hunting too. Not much has really changed in that regard.
Not sure if we're able to give specifics, but maybe if the overall offers weren't too different in overall value Microchip offered more cash over stock? The only previous story I read about this is here, which isn't too informative http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/01/15/microchip_atmel/

I might be misunderstanding you, but if you mean handling state at run-time, I feel like handling it in multiple places would be more complex, no? Otherwise, you can actually define state handlers (or as redux calls it, reducers) in multiple files as well, so that each subsection of state is being handled independently.
Much like apples to oranges.

Nokogiri is a tag soup parser. Scrapy is a web scraping framework.

In addition to tag soup parsing, Scrapy handles a slew of things such as text encoding problems, retrying urls that fail owing to network problems (if you wish), dispatching requests across multiple spiders with a shared crawl frontier (see Frontera), shared code between similar spiders using middlewares and pipelines, and what have you.

There's a Lisp joke that goes something like every sufficiently complex piece of software in C is a slow, buggy, poorly implemented version of Lisp. Very much the same could be said about Scrapy and web scraping projects. :-)
But aren't criminal acts (i.e., criminal negligence) committed by the insured not covered by insurance?

As far as the comparison to cars, we require insurance for cars operated on public roads. Also with cars, the morbidity and mortality is overwhelmingly associated with accidents; with firearms, it's deliberate acts (either suicides or intentional shootings), neither of which would be covered by insurance.

I'm not sure I see what mandatory liability insurance is supposed to accomplish, since it would rarely seem to be applicable. The cost of the insurance, since it would likely rarely pay out, would seem to be too low to make gun ownership unaffordable (which would seem to be your goal, based on your earlier comment of "Sure, better get ready to buy a big insurance policy!").
They are competing with the big unseen giants like First Data (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Data) who owns clover. Square has a small part of the pie. They may be used by food trucks, small vendors, and people at the local farmers market but where the real money is coming in there are established players already.
This is true, but unfortunately few founders know what pool they are in.

My guess is it is like VC funding where all the VCs want to fund companies that don’t need the funds - the companies that don’t need to be in YC are the ones they want to choose.
As you helpfully state, it is a 0.23F average temperature difference. That could mean the temperature was significantly warmer for a large period of time, then somewhat cooler. Depending on the magnitude, the temperature could have varied widely, but only increased 0.23F, on average.

So it could be incredibly easy to sense.
It's one thing to learn to hunt from zero. It's another thing to do it with tools and techniques that had been handed down for thousands of years. How do you make a spear from scratch, using only raw materials found in nature, that's effective enough to bring down a creature the size of a mammoth? You have to select the right kind of wood with the right character, harden it with fire correctly, find the right kind of flint and chip it just so to make a head, find the right animal sinews and preserve them the right way to tie the head to the spear, learn to strike with it so it hits vulnerable spots and doesn't break, because it'll take you days or weeks to make another...

I knew a guy once who did his PhD work on chipping flint, reproducing the techniques used by various Stone Age people. He loved chipping flint and making tools. They were sharp, and dangerous, and fragile, and took hours or days to make (not counting the failures). He spent years studying and refining his technique.

Making a high-quality spear, good enough to kill mammoths effectively? That takes years to perfect. It's an intellectual challenge on par with writing software, based on tradition and teaching akin to our school system. It's not easy or trivial! It's not primitive, at least not in the demeaning way it's being expressed here.

Those "primitives" were every bit as smart as you, every bit as hardworking, and their techniques on par with ours in terms of rigor and effort. What they didn't have was tens of thousands of years of additional development, so they had to know everything about survival. They didn't get their mammoth wrapped in plastic.
0.23F was the global average difference. Different regions experience different deltas, some negative, some much more positive.

This thread is full of good ideas and information about $1-$3 products and int'l shipping agreements, but the "$.03 button" mystery is almost certainly simply an edge case that no one cares about.

Let's be honest here. This is the primary issue not the "smaller issue"?

Let's call a spade a spade. Or have I missed the joke?
John Hempton, a (successful) Hedge Fund manager who specialises in finding frauds and shorting them, has been writing about Valeant for a year or so [0]. His primary arguments have been: accounting tricks are being used to give the appearance of high profitability, and that (some) Valeant people have shady pasts that indicate high likelihood of fraud.

great news! turns out this article wasn't a complete waste of time and energy.

Honestly I'll probably move to Cypress' PSoC. They're pretty nice if a tad expensive and the IDE is quite solid. Their BT devkit is quite nice.
That's definitely the Redux dream I'm trying to achieve, but as I mentioned in a comment elsewhere, it feels like there is a lot of initial setup. And with each new container, the setup process just starts over. I haven't craved TypeScript in awhile, but for whatever reason, Redux has rekindled the desire (and I know it can be done, I just haven't gotten around to it).
Look I run a (moderately) successful services firm that's been completely bootstrapped as well ;-)

I totally get it, but for every github and Atlassian there's also a Facebook and Snapchat or a hardware startup (wish I could think of one now...) where outside funding is essential.
Nice concept. Indeed for remote working teams (read asynchronous working team) slack is not enough. We experiment now with basecamp+slack for the reasons you mentioned: measure work progress, milestones, announcements.
>Find a more worthy patient

while i share your sentiment toward people who like to kill, it seems to be a cornerstone of medical profession is to not differentiate patients on their "worthiness", and i think that principle is one of a few real achievements of our species.

Wrt. the article itself - sound like a great stuff. As an engineer and an arm-chair surgeon, i wonder though why just surgically connecting the spinal cord back and injecting a ton of anti-inflammation doesn't work (anti-inflammation does seems to help a lot when administered immediately after the injury to prevent the scar tissue forming and to prevent the inflammation squeezing the cord ends and thus allows for the much better chances for the cord to repair naturally)
A concept that has crossed my mind: an Anti-advertising League. Businesses can opt in to a directory containing information on their products and services (including reviews, etc), with the stipulation that they will never advertise.

You'd expect the directory to be filled with businesses that effectively advertise themselves.
> Routing is solved by community packages

Its a bit awkward in places. Like if you want to receive a server-side web-hook, Iron Router is really the only way to go. But, lets say you have an Angular client, Iron Router can't be disabled on client when being used on the server. Now you have to hack for Iron Router and Angular UI router to play together nicely - using 2 routers on client because you want to receive server-side webhooks is obviously not ideal. But, at the same time both the community and the roadmap are coming together to make solutions workable before being fully 'solved', imo.
What it is, and what it isn't
Most of what it takes to do that were just some interpreters and function calls. Originally established in distributed computing like Amoeba, MPP systems, and Obliq in agent-oriented systems. Might help if you think on it looking at distributed, agent, and reactive languages to see what language aspects you think would make it easier. Then you'll be able to convey it better.

To me, it's just a VM (or source), ability to capture state, and one or more function calls. Any language could do this.

Obliq just in case you didn't know about it:

Traffic sent over TOR is unencrypted. Use a VPN or SSH tunnel of some kind and you've got location obscured and traffic encrypted. Boo-yah. Slow as shit though.
The Earth can only "gain" heat through #3, solar radiation. The other 3 items you list can store and release heat at a later time, but they can not generate more heat than they already possess now. (This is not strictly true, conversion of mass to energy, e=mc^2, means that nuclear and fusion energy could create new heat at the expense of matter, but we generally assume that on planets, this is negligible.)

So if people talk about "El Nino" increasing the temperature for the year, this is only possible because previous "La Nina" cycles decreased the temperature by an equivalent amount in previous years, and the oceans are returning the heat to the atmosphere.

Geothermal energy was stored back during the formation of the planet and there is generally just enough to keep the planet a few degrees above absolute zero. The energy released is highly variable though, volcanoes can release lots on one particular day, but then diminished activity for years follows.
Ask HN: Best way to be notified of HN responses these days?
I used to use Riyad's awesome HNNotify, but it seems like it is no longer in service.

Jacquesm's FAQ[1] recommending Notifo is a bit dated (sorry Jacques!) as Notifo appears to be dead as well.

As someone who posts a lot and doesn't always remember to check my comment history, or has people responding to very old posts that don't show up on the first page of comments, I definitely want to stay on top of that.

What does everyone else use these days? I couldn't easily find a good reason why HN itself doesn't offer that functionality, but I'm sure there is one.

The fat is important. You aren't going to survive on rabbits, no matter the quantity.

Regarding abundant game in colder climates, see http://www.adn.com/article/20131020/fuzzy-math-alaska-subsis....

Winters are long, summers short. The result is a relatively unproductive ecosystem. There are an estimated 175,000 to 200,000 moose in all of Alaska. There are an estimated 76,000 in Maine, a state about 5 percent the size of Alaska.

If far-north Alaska could grow moose as efficiently as mid-continent Maine, there would be about 3.8 million of the big ungulates here. Many Alaskans wish it was so. They'd like a moose behind every spruce, but it will never happen.

Alaska is not a rich land; it is a harsh land. Before the white invasion, only about 75,000 people survived here on what the land would yield. Today, the Alaska population is approaching 10 times that number. The Native population alone is double what it was before white contact. The idea people are going to go back to living off the land come an apocalyptic collapse of the U.S. economy is a myth.
A normal school curriculum back then did not go so far as to teach calculus. When Einstein taught himself vector calculus, he used the textbook written by the guy who invented it because it was the only textbook. Then he personally wrote to the guy to clear up his misconceptions.

Today, you can learn this material in open university courses, and if you have a question, consult a plethora of freely available resources on the internet.

Accessibility of information matters.
People care about time, not cycles, and chances are with whatever crystal is running your AVR, you will still not be comfortable despite the lack of post-1990 CPU features in ATmegas.

And finally, the idea of tight loops engineered to cycle precision is dying a slow death in general. You just smother the hard timing requirements with excess frequency and performance.

Curious thing about the ESP8266: it doesn't use ARM or any of the other popular kids on the block but a Tensilica Xtensa architecture.
>> It's just nuts, really, something is terribly wrong with our world, and we need to fix it.

You should probably start with developing countries like China and India. The US has been actively reducing its carbon footprint for a while now:

Energy related carbon emissions in the United States declined by 12% between 2005 and 2012, back to a level not seen since 1994.

Per capita emissions fell 17% over the same period, and are now at their lowest level in 50 years.

This decline in emissions occurred across the US economy, with the switch from coal to natural gas in the power sector responsible for just 35-40% of the drop.

Seems like this would duplicate a rather large chunk of Apache Crunch, which implements Google Flume nearly exactly as far as public API is concerned. As far as I can tell, Google Dataflow is also a variation on top of Google Flume. It would be helpful if they could elucidate why this project would not be redundant under the Apache umbrella.
I am not a doctor. You should definitely talk with a doctor. But, you can google for "health blood markers" which typically includes measuring cholesterol and glucose to start with. For example:

http://www.marksdailyapple.com/blood-test-markers/

http://circ.ahajournals.org/content/107/3/499.full

https://labtestsonline.org/understanding/analytes/cardiac-ri...

Also, it's probably not a bad idea to measure your blood pressure regularly which you can easily do at home.
The actual quote was: “A lot of times, you actually look at these numbers, when you break a record, you break it by a few hundredths of a degree,"

So it's not clear if only record-setting years have small variation, or whether year-to-year is also very small variation.
Not particularly.

I'll probably get downvoted but I'm not a huge fan of Big-O notation(hence the k). It's very hand-wavey about the things that have a significant impact on performance(like cache misses).

Great from the ivory tower of academia but down in the real world we like things that run fast :).
Makes sense, thanks for the clarification. To your knowledge, is there anything comparable to Scrapy in Ruby land?
They used a commercial board that implements the Vita 57 bus, which is the standard way to interface with an FPGA [1]. So if they need replacements down the road, they just have to get one that implements the same standard, and standards for industrial equipment tend to stick around for a considerable amount of time.

The problem is extrapolating from local weather to "climate change is real!" or "climate change is a lie!"

We mock idiotic politicians who use snowstorms to "debunk" global warming; we should hold the other side to the same standard.
Is shift-up and shift-down for moving nodes broken for you? I submitted a patch to Debian (who seem to be the maintainers now) but nobody else seems to have this problem.

If anyone else does have the problem: add {KEY_SR, "sup"} and {KEY_SF, "sdown"} to ui_binding.c and change "sprevious" and "snext" to "sup" and "sdown" in the configuration file.
This sentence captures everything that I hate about the Apache projects and the Hadoop ecosystem in particular.
> Would it really be the capitalist apocalypse that the ad industry is trying to make us believe it would be?

It kind of would. Google, Facebook, Yahoo, etc. are all funded by selling ads. There's a few experiments with buying out ads, but when the current price is "free," any increase in price of these services to users is a huge increase in price with an expected equivalent decrease in users.

As a fellow AdBlock user, we have a huge problem to reconcile: the sites we use by and large don't exist without someone clicking on ads. The Categorical Imperative Adblock would block not only the ads, but the website delivering them as well.

I don't see any reason not to take what was said at face value. There's no reason to automatically pass on what seems to be a great opportunity just because you're not first in line. The reason to pass is that the data supports a lower success rate.
[not an expert] What you say is mostly correct. Two things though I think are critical and under-appreciated in understanding climate change:

1) rate of change & sixth mass extinction - many natural systems can adapt to gradual change over the course of many millennia but cannot to the incredibly rapid change our planet is now undergoing. this leads to loss of ecosystems & biomass which help to regulate our climate/CO2 levels

2) positive feedback loops - many systems are also at risk of destabilizing feedback loops, e.g melting ice increasing solar radiation absorption, ice sheets whose disintegration will accelerate with rising and warming oceans warming them from frontally and from below and moulins turning them into swiss cheese, potential permafrost melting w/ massive methane outgassing, etc.

The combination of these effects mean this is not a simple "calories in/out" type calculation, but a complex system geared towards maintaining equilibrium, which as we rapidly push further and further out of that equilibrium will face rising risks of a highly nonlinear, rapid shift to a dramatically new equilibrium climate the likes of which our planet has not seen since well before the dawn of our species.
Uh... are you just comparing one 2-dimensional graph with another one? According to BJ Fogg, your automated onboarding should have worked.

My point was that it's fundamentally an issue of trust. High-touch onboarding is not the only solution, but it might work for you right meow.
Programming languages are the interface between the computer and fallible humans. Thus it is in fact very difficult to prove that a particular paradigm is better or worse.

Civil engineering has been around for centuries. Yet the Tacoma Narrows Bridge failed in a completely unexpected way.

This passed down engineering "memory" or "lore" is invaluable. Every engineer should endeavour to learn from their mistakes and successes
I agree that China and India need to reduce their emissions. But those don't seem like the US numbers we should actually be looking at. What are energy related carbon emission vs. total emissions? And what happened to US population over that period?

It would be helpful to have a number for total emissions.

Free trade requires both sides to be equally free. Tariffs are one of the defenses against another nation massively subsidizing an export. Getting all countries to play fair (in this case neither subsidizing or taxing) isn't going to happen. You also run into the interesting situation of what is a subsidy that impacts exports/imports?

For example, post great depression america started tax subsidy for farmers to ensure a stable food supply. That hurts imports of the same product. Another interesting example is minimum wage, it makes imports more attractive, as domestic labor costs go up. Not getting into what is right/wrong, simply that economic incentives are not uniform and may be defensive. Hence international trade tries to deal with that via accords, treaties, tariffs etc.

Not to mention to that tariffs are a source of revenue for the respective government.
