I've only used my FFL03 once, to order a Mosin Nagant rifle, but it still worked out cheaper than a single gun transfer in California ($30 for the FFL03 vs. $60+ for a transfer at a gun store)

Part of having a FFL03 is the requirement that you maintain a "bound book" of all transactions done under that license. You can buy these online or print out sheets, but basically you must record who you bought it from, when, for how much, the serial number, etc.

It has not happened to me in 3 years of licensing, but the BATFE may request to inspect your bound book and your firearms to make sure everything's in order.

As for attaining the FFL, I filled out a form (ATF form 7CR) with a bunch of personal information and mailed it off with a $30 check. They did their background checks and after a month or two mailed back my license. You need to renew it every 3 years, but it's basically a matter of making sure the information is correct and sending in a check.

The benefits of having an FFL03:

- Eligible guns can be shipped direct to your door (no handguns shipped in California)

- You can buy C&R eligible guns out-of-state and bring them back with you.

In any case, you must provide the seller with a copy of your license prior to purchase.
Ask HN: Does updating license years matter for Open Source Software
When I came across lists https://github.com/dear-github/dear-github & https://github.com/thank-you-github/thank-you-github , I repeatedly saw that the license years were not updated. I thought this was important and being overlooked, thus I took it on myself to do it.

I started to create pull requests on all the open source projects that I came across. Response for my pull requests was to a great degree positive. But some maintainers were amused by the low quality of my contribution. While others accepted them but remarked that updating license years was of little significance

Here I am a bit confused and wanted to to know if updating license years is only a formality?

One of the maintainers suggested that I should write a bot for doing all this. That is a great idea to scale up my efforts but I was deterred from doing something like that after going through feedback on a very similar idea someone else implemented recently - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9367501
No, do it for real. Paywall completely. Keep the Googlebot out too. If people want to read a newspaper, they'll have to hear from their friends how great it is.
+1 for the open source part. I would really love to see the RTL for the FPGA.

I wonder if they're using the Zedboard or the actual 7000 soc.
The manipulation is subtle, but even if we assume ads don't manipulate you at all, they do manipulate people around you and shared societal consciousness - and that definitely impacts most people.
Hell, advertisements for candy or drinks. I wasn't aware that I was hungry or thirsty but that sure looks tasty!
After thinking about that for a second, that is my new favorite analogy. Way better than anything I have ever come up with to explain the same thing.
Yeap, you can specify different build options such as OS (osx, windows, linux) and processor architecture and pass it to a friend, but the main idea is that it simplifies the process for you and automatically detects your current platform.

They get to rape children. Look at the statistics over rape crimes in Europe and wonder why so many are fleeing back under the notion of "peaceful activism", as Swedish Muslim Organisations called it.

Many of them also know there won't be much evidence of their heinous crimes, so once they come back they will go scotch free as few countries have actually made ISIS illegal (as the SS became).

I'm not sure replacing a site's ads with your own is beating "freeloading".
Freeloading? You're missing the point; we're not catering to your sense of entitlement.

The yellow pages (remember that old book?) is advertising. Is that coercive?
That's a ridiculous statement. "I'm sorry" is not an indication of negativity. Nor is it indicative of my posting history. Apparently criticism is simply not allowed. Sorry to poke the fluff that is somehow being perceived as value.

You most definitely can judge someone's technical prowess as well based on their decisions. I am not sure how you're going to grey-wash this into some kind of innocent mistake. The decision that was made reeks of novice motivations and perspectives.

I asked a very blatant question, if one is going to go off of titles, how does a CTO and lead engineer (or anyone leading any kind of project) make such a novice mistake, together nonetheless. My apologies for not echoing commendations.
My intuition suggests termination analysis is even more difficult with a neural network because you can't open them up and see the code.
So I think I largely understand your point. But I am genuinely curious to know how you would then get information about products.

Would it be on-demand research only?
Would you browse lists of new products [eg the Wirecutter's "Realist guide to CES"]?

I do both of these already, and I do have js disabled on most sites, and I think ads mis-align the incentives of publishers...

But I think that there are demographics that benefit from ad-supported [ie free] stuff more than I do.
I get your point, and it is a good one. We have a micro payments channel to publishers, frictionless and anonymous, under construction, for folks who want no ads and who will pay.

Other users than you will be able to mix and match, too: better and more private ads on sites they don't support, with a revenue share to these users that they can spend on sites they do.

We aren't saying "only ads". We do see ads as a necessary funding model for much of the web today. I would love to see micropayments replace ads. Let's see what can be done.
This is truly awesome and I'd love to become a user. How might you recommend integrating video calls? We do KYC checks of clients and sometimes need a brief face-to-face.
I'm reading this article, living in Toronto, and having recently lived with somebody who grew up in Malaysia - I have no idea where I picked it up either but I definitely say it.

I don't find small talk super easy - I'm usually deep in thought and so jarred by what's said that I miss the opportunity. Some phrases that have been super useful for me, even though I can remember times I didn't even like hearing them:

- "How's it going?" easiest hello

- "No Worries" easiest thank you

- "Have a good one" easiest goodbye

And armed with these phrases I can tackle almost any wild small talk that pops up in my day :)
>We could pay X for the content, and not incur the overhead.

Sure we could, but it's extremely clear that only hyper-specialized niches are willing to do that when someone else is providing similar content at no monetary cost to the end user. Like it or not, the market has spoken; they want content in exchange for ads, and are not willing to pay the content provider directly.

>Advertising isn't free. Insofar it works, for some people, it's basically coercive via psychology and simulated peer pressure.

I've bought ads before. I just wanted people to find out about my product. Short of a guerilla spam campaign, it's the only way to get exposure. I've since learned that so many people tune out ads that guerilla spam campaigns (formal spam campaigns are known as "PR") are really the only way to beat competitors.
The engineering team has a budget that big? Do you know what the budgets are for the other aspects of the BBC? Like TV and radio broadcasting, production of TV and radio shows, administration, HR and other areas?

Edit: found an old breakdown here:

Seems like their whole technology department has a budget of £175m
Its a constraint of the browser technology stack; not only do we have to use websockets for real-time (TCP/IP) but we also have to go over SSL/TLS as intermediary hardware/software (routers, proxies etc) still routinely break websocket connections otherwise.

Although the people running the relay may be associated with piracy, that doesn't mean this exit node is any different than any other Tor exit node. Traffic on the Tor network is doesn't distinguish by "pirated" content or not.

There are many reasons why we oppose gay marriage, and none of them are because we have irrational fears of gay people.

I know my argument stands on shakey ground, but brand awareness (what you define as knowing a motto or brand name) is absolutely a form of manipulation. Apple has enough money, to buy enough ads, to be in enough places, that they can get their message to the masses. "Pear computers" (an imaginary computer startup who makes hardware better than apple but has no money) who don't have the power (money) to make that campaign happen absolutely have less manipulation leverage and will probably die unless they can figure out how to build a marketing ground swell (aka manipulate enough people to believe that their product _is_ superior and to use it.)

The OP is pointing out that bitcoin can take hours for your transaction to be included in a block. So it's far from 'instant' payment or settlement. You then have to wait for several block confirmations to be sure that your transfer took place.

Currently, people are reporting three or more hours wait to get a transaction on to the blockchain, because bit-coin has a capacity problem.
> Anecdotal, I've been in pain, multiple times in my life, where Doctors were literally confused by the fact I wasn't taking pain medication and immediate would prescribe opiates without a second thought. A couple even made comments [one Doctor who used to treat soldiers assumed it was a macho thing and told me I was being silly, just take the drugs].

When I had my ACL fixed the doc was going to give me multi-days of Oxycontin. I told him I didn't want it. After some negotiation I ended up taking 6 pills over 3 days and then using normal pain meds. His point was that if the pain got too bad it might not ever go away.

Those 3 days I was a mess. I never really knew if I was awake or sleeping. Didn't really eat, it basically sucked. I am super active (hence the torn ACL), and could never see taking something like Oxy on a regular basis or for fun. I get some people have a lot of pain and that is a different situation, but normal prescriptions seem like overkill.

> why not use the system WebKit framework?

Same reason people often like to statically link. The system is guaranteed to be a moving target sooner or later, so new bugs may appear or disappear depending on a user-controlled action that's tedious to track if it's possible at all.

Bundled code, on the other hand, is a fixed, known quality against which bugs can be tested, or source inspected, or otherwise debugged in a way system libraries typically cannot.
It's not unreasonable to think he would if he could. Thinking he just wants to tweak a background check here and there and then he's all good with guns forever doesn't pass the laugh test.
This is good since it protects you from snooping from ISPs/carriers.

You are still exposed to Google/Apple, since it can easily combine your contact information with traffic information and with great deal of probability detect who was the recipient.

I still would take it over encrypted SMS, where this data is open to carriers and carriers are basically perma-owned by everyone.
There are people with needs and people with solutions.
I understand where you are coming from, but advertising a solution to people that may have that need is not always evil.

There are many times where I am glad I saw advertising: my favorite band is coming to town, a new product that will save me hours a day just got released, the shoes I have been looking for are being sold at 30% off.

I don't want to give up all of my privacy, but sometimes I don't mind finding a solution to something in my peripheral focus.
I really wasn't expecting "salaries" to be the fifth word.
I'm saying that they did not have to build a payments network from scratch, or convince the largest banks in the country to provide APIs for their platform, which would have been the hardest part of launching a similar product as a private company or individual.
I was also disappointed that the documentary took a bias towards Avery being innocent. I wish they'd left it more undecided, more murky, and more honest. Even if there was compelling video evidence, it would still be a fascinating story of incompetence and misconduct throughout the investigation.

Even if you believe Avery to be guilty (as I lean towards), you can't help but to sit in awe as officials motivated to lock up their case almost cost themselves a verdict based on their own actions. It's a story with no heroes.
Watch out for signs that ISIS is hiring a PR firm (which is what Saudi Arabia did) to convince us that they're the good guys, and whomever they're fighting are the badder guys.

> Their CC machine is always "broken"

If this ever happens to you, the answer is simple: tell them, "thanks for the free ride". If they don't tell you before the ride starts that the credit card machine is broken, you are not required to pay. (This applies both in New York and San Francisco).

Though for what it's worth, I'm not sure I've ever had that happen in NYC, in almost ten years of living here and taking cabs here. The only time that's ever happened to me is in the Bay Area (where the cabs really do deserve their bad reputation).

> The purpose of advertising is to make you buy more than you need.

That's an incredibly cynical way of looking at the situation. There is also the purpose of telling you about a product you can buy that might possibly be beneficial to your lifestyle. Through advertising you get to find out about that product faster, something especially important in these days of brisk innovation.
As though they're not going to do more name changing during that time :)
The article equates prosecutorial misconduct to force a guilty sentence with editorial choices in a documentary. Because both show "bias". In the one case it's utterly illegal and it undermines the moral validity of the justice system and in the other case we're talking about a simple exercise of free speech, but apparently this distinction isn't meaningful in the eyes of the author.

The quote in question: "The point of being scrupulous about your means is to help insure accurate ends, whether you are trying to convict a man or exonerate him. Ricciardi and Demos instead stack the deck to support their case for Avery, and, as a result, wind up mirroring the entity that they are trying to discredit."

This equivocation is morally repugnant.

The article also gets their facts wrong. They claim: "Investigators subsequently found DNA from Avery’s perspiration on the hood latch—evidence that would be nearly impossible to plant.". This is a fabrication. There is no distinction between blood DNA, sweat DNA, skin DNA. DNA was found under the hood latch, but no blood was seen. Hence a logical conjecture is that the source is perspiration, but it could have been any other source. As for it being hard to plant, that's laughable. Simply swipe a t-shirt or dirty sock on any surface and it will leave DNA behind. None of Avery's finger prints were found on the car, and finger prints ARE hard to plant. In contrast to DNA, which IS trivial to plant if you have access to somebody's apartment.

The charge that the documentary is bad because doesn't display a clear timeline of the events doesn't make sense, because it's the responsibility of the prosecution to explain what happened, and they didn't have a single narrative that was consistent with all the evidence. Which is why the prosecution's story of what happened was completely different in Avery's and Dassy's trials.

Juries don't believe police officers would ever lie during testimony. They believe the police are the good guys who just want to catch the bad guys. The public has to let go of this naive view of the world, and look at all evidence presented during a trial with healthy skepticism. The 'Making a Murderer' documentary teaches people to be skeptical about claims by the police, which is a great public service.

The article closes by reiterating the terrible equivocation they made earlier. That exposing prosecutorial misconduct is somehow only permissible in a completely unopinionated format. The New Yorker should be ashamed for publishing this trash.

"...in which I had no previous interest"

What piqued your interest to begin with?
Your premise is only applicable to US states.

It is not applicable to nation-states which demonstrate considerable effect in reducing gun-related homicides. Even more so when discounting individual lone-wolf attacks of a terrorist nature (Brevik, Norway).

I could post sources but they are beyond dispute at this stage. (United Kingdom, Japan, Australia and most of the Western world).

Evidence is also lent by the nation-states with lax gun control legislation which dominate the league table of gun-related homicides, of which, the USA is one.

> Special relativity is pretty much math-free though (in Einstein's formulation, not in Minkowski's).

True, but only because Einstein hadn't yet acquired the essential mathematical background. Instructive in this connection is a key equation from his first relativity paper (https://www.fourmilab.ch/etexts/einstein/specrel/www/):

β = 1/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2))

(sorry -- the original paper doesn't number its equations)

It should seem obvious that this equation describes a relation between orthogonal dimensions, something that Einstein didn't realize, but that Minkowski certainly did. Minkowski expanded and clarified Einstein's mathematics in order to express time as a separate dimension, then made his famous remark about spacetime: "Henceforth space by itself, and time by itself, are doomed to fade away into mere shadows, and only a kind of union of the two will preserve an independent reality".

Einstein then remarked, "Since the mathematicians have invaded the theory of relativity, I do not understand it myself anymore." But in subsequent years Einstein learned much more mathematics, and the general theory is much more dependent on mathematical ideas than the special theory was, indeed the general theory can't be meaningfully expressed without advanced mathematics.

> It seems odd to argue that ~10,000 murders/accidental deaths per year is not a problem...

It's about whatever level is acceptable to society.

We currently accept about 57,000 annual deaths caused by the common flu[1], a totally preventable and treatable illness. Heart disease claims over 600,000 lives annually in the US. [2]

Compared to other top killers, if we could reduce gun related deaths to ~10,000 annually, that's a huge victory. That equates to about 0.001% of our population annually, and at that rate it would take about 33,000 years to kill us all.

In no reality are we going to be able to make that number be zero. There must be some level that is acceptable (and arguably we've crossed that acceptable threshold currently).
