It's important to keep in mind with very old wooden structures such as these that they are often rebuilt over the centuries, plank by plank, as it were.

From the Wikipedia entry you cited:

> A very important problem in dating the churches is that the solid ground sills are the construction elements most likely to have the outer parts of the log still preserved. Yet they are the most susceptible to humidity, and as people back then reused building parts, the church may have been rebuilt several times. If so, a dendrochronological dating may be based upon a log from a later reconstruction.
Thanks. I wonder if it could be creatively misused to act as a database.
Who cares? So does competition. If a bad dentist is allowed to operate, they can permanently damage your teeth. If you get a bad haircut, wait a couple of weeks for it to grow out and in the meantime tell everyone you know where you got your bad haircut.

We're talking about a university. It'd be extremely strange for students and faculty not to use their personal laptops.

My university runs like a corporate IT department for its offices, hospital, etc. but for any part of it an undergrad will ever see, IT is just a WiFi-based ISP.
So you actually think that the Syrian people have any chance against the Russian-backed Syrian government. You do undrestand that the Russians are ruthless and have no qualms about taking out civilians and anyone else that gets in their way.

And actually most of the people from Syria are genuine refugees. They are fleeing a brutal civil war.

But of course would love to know what you would do in this situation. I am sure you would be quite happy fighting, dying the next day all to achieve absolutely nothing.
No, you can't relicense someone else's MIT or BSD code, only code you've written. Only a copyright holder can license his/her code, or someone to whom the copyright holder has given explicit permission to do so.
Orbital slots apply mostly to geostationary spacecraft, which this is not. It is far too low for geo orbit. I'm not sure how LEO is regulated, but very few commercial spacecraft would be affected by this bird. The only commercial craft that I can think of down there are the satellites that make up the Iridium constellation.
From the article:

> He arrived in Belgium with this in mind: “I was expecting them to give me a house, a good job, so I could have a better life. This is what I was dreaming about.”

It's hard to emphasize with someone expecting handouts, vs those who are fleeing true horrors.
Well, yeah. It is a good service. They've contributed good stuff to Git core, too.

I really wonder what they do. I have some complicated feelings about them, also, that has to do with them becoming the central hub for open source.

Like, if the product itself were open source, it might be more obvious what they are working on. But I can't demand that kind of transparency... It would just be interesting to know.

With almost 500 employees, what happens? I've never even worked at such a large company myself.

Should GitHub users have some say in what the company builds? I mean, we're promoting them like hell, and the social network is a huge part of their value.

I often wonder what well-funded large product companies do with all their manpower. Feature development doesn't seem to scale. Nor innovative design. GitHub's mobile layout is pretty crippled. I dunno. Just curious.

That article has some issues though:

> The city opted out of Detroit's water supply

As I understand, it the City of Detroit basically kicked them out (or raised the rates prohibitively high). Flint was already on track to transition to a regional water system (not the Flint river system), but it wasn't completed yet. This statement places all of the blame onto Flint for pulling out of using Detroit's water system.
It may just be that asylum for purely economic reasons doesn't scale in a way that would solve the problem.

This video does a good job of showing that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPjzfGChGlE
To be fair though, I should also say that nowadays the CSS working group has a lot of very smart people who absolutely understand the needs of web developers/designers, and have been tireless in getting things like Flexbox specced and implemented across different browsers.

CSS is about a decade behind where it should be, but that's not the fault of the people working on it now. And I think its future is actually comparatively bright, especially with the Houdini project taking off.
I never said it was right. I'm just not ignoring it and pretending it doesn't exist.

I also don't appreciate being made to look like I'm demonizing ALL naturalized US citizens, when I've made it very clear that I wasn't, especially since I'm one of them. Really, you should fully read a comment before making a rash post. This isn't reddit.
Methinks the author is out of touch. Austin suffers from too many cars on too few, small roads, so the traffic is atrocious during work hours. Their population is exploding and the infrastructure cannot keep up. The parking situation is bad, unless you can afford to just throw money down the drain.

As a result, there's a large biking population, despite how dangerous it is biking on those crowded streets. There's a good attempt at bike lanes, but not good enough.
Insurance is also a huge issue for under 25s. At least in Ontario, insurance and gas is close to what it costs to rent a room in a house.

I don't think China has anything to gain by giving NK advanced rocket technology. China already have enough power to impress its neighbors and is not afraid to show it off, so there's no need to prop up a satellite nation which is barely controllable.

If anything, NK rockets are a very handy excuse for Japan to re-arm itself (or continue arming itself, depending on how you look at it), and I can't imagine China liking its prospect. Meanwhile, South Korean government is already discussing plans to introduce THAAD (whatever that is) into SK, and apparently China is pretty upset about that, too. Sigh.
I started working as a programmer when I was 18...at 23, I had my first visit to physical therapy, for emacs pinky and elbow tendonitis.

At 25 I went back to physical therapy, this time for chronic pain in my upper back. Therapy unraveled a whole slew of postural and motor pattern issues, and I've been at it for nearly 2 years now. Additionally, for the past 1.5 years I added workouts with a personal trainer specialized in corrective work.

I've learned a ton. Sitting and using your hands with shoulders internally rotated (typing, writing, etc.) for the majority of your time (from 1st grade through adulthood as a desk worker) is so terrible for you. The good news is that it's possible to completely reverse and become pain-free. The bad news is that it might take a huge amount of effort—but personally, I really enjoy it.

Ergonomics are critical, as well. I have both a Kinesis Advantage keyboard and a motorized sit-stand desk. Moving around (not just sitting, not just standing) is the key.

For some time now I've been meaning to write up a detailed case study of myself; essentially a how-to on how to become and stay healthy as a desk worker. It's good to read that at least 1 person might be interested in such a thing :P

What bugs me the most about this situation is people like you who always find it easy being pro-other-people-paying-the-price. How about you liquidate your assets and send them off to pay for these "refugees" since you are so for this. How about you take in random people and then pay for their expenses in your house. It's always easy obligating other people, isn't it? That's the whole problem with this whole "social/ism" notion that it puts people in power to decide the fate and obligations of others.
This type of security tool typically operates in conjunction with installing some extra authority on client machines (for outgoing connections) and/or in reverse by installing the server's private key/cert information (for incoming connections). Having done so, the device can then effectively MITM the organisation's own traffic.

This can be quite effective if you have control of the client machines on your network and can reliably configure them to trust your choice of authorities. For example, this might be true in a university computer lab or in a corporate office where IT staff administer all the machines and staff don't have admin rights to change anything. Now your anti-malware scanners and the like can operate on things like HTTPS traffic in the same way they would on any other connection.

It doesn't work if you have other machines that don't have the extra authority installed and therefore don't trust the intermediary. Typically, either you'll just see the same security warnings as you would for any other MITM threat, or they'll block the traffic and you won't be able to connect at all over an unauthorised encrypted link. Either way, all they see will be your encrypted traffic. Clearly it would be rather unfortunate for the entire global security infrastructure if this were not the case...

I note in passing that, other things being equal, this kind of technology is a good thing for security. There are more powerful tools available than the kind of antivirus software typically installed on individual workstations, and they are no more necessarily recording HTTPS traffic than any other traffic that they scan. But of course you're still MITMing someone else's traffic, and the person sending that traffic has only your word for it that you're not configuring tools to record the "temporarily" decrypted data stream or otherwise process the data in unexpected ways.

There have already been lawsuits about this kind of comprehensive monitoring of network traffic in the workplace. Obviously it can look bad if for example an employee was using what they believed to be an encrypted connection to their bank to check that some legitimately employment-related payment has been received, but because it was from a work computer and intercepted that connection wasn't actually secure. The results haven't been completely one-sided so far; it's a complicated issue, and there are elements of both an employer reasonably wanting to know what is happening with their own IT systems and the reasonable expectations of privacy of an employee to balance.
Sydney's 'war on fun' is ridiculous. But what does it mean for the tech sector?
Yeah, I love the feeling of being in one of those teams. It's a possible idea, but don't know how it would scale beyond one team. I tried to find projects on behalf of a number of great teams a few years ago, and found I'd always bias the #1 team in the set if they were available, because I felt like I had a better chance of a great outcome on the project.

And these teams rarely invested any time in training up their own reserve bench, so often a team would be suddenly crippled by one team member needing to take time out to e.g. start a family. The team would start falling apart as other members were forced to leave the team to find gigs solo.
So the investment strategy by the robo advisor is in essence just a automated lazy portfolio? I expected/was hoping for some fancier AI than just a dumb balancing script that I currently have in an Excel spreadsheet...
To project your comment onto the software world:

"That said, I can see why professional software developers feel threatened and perhaps a little insulted too... Most projects in the article and on his Github profile look merely 'good enough' or 'usable' (as opposed to 'great')"

Which isn't too far off the mark, if I correctly recall Microsoft and Oracle's attitudes to free software circa 1999. Yet here we are.
>Why is it widely condemned when North Korea launches a satellite?

Because most countries view it as a cover for an ICBM program. Anything that can launch a satellite into orbit can carry a nuke to the other side of the world.

>Why does the article quote North Korea's "right" to explore space in a peaceful manner?

Doesn't it have that right? Who is to say North Korea can't launch satellites?

This is a tricky thing for other countries to navigate. We really don't have the right to tell them they can't have satellites or nuclear power. Other countries collectively launch satellites every week or so, and there are 438 operating nuclear reactors.

On the other hand... nobody trusts the Norks, and with good reason. I guess it's like interpersonal communications - reputation matters.
You say the ICBM connection is bollocks, then discuss the extensive links between the two. That seems slightly contradictory.
> Who would go with Company A's lead-laden water if B's is clean?

That's not a realistic scenario however as that implies that each company would set up its own plumbing infrastructure, water sources, etc. In reality, the infrastructure is shared. So I see no reason why the choice wouldn't target be between "company A who has lead-laden water, company B who does some extra purification and charges for it heavily and company C who serves the exact same water as A but has better advertisements."

What would be the incentive to actually fix the infrastructure if it benefited your competition just as much as you?
A person who's starving doesn't need asylum, they need humanitarian aid. On the other hand, a person who's a victim of persecution needs protection. Therefore they have completely different needs and for that reason it makes a lot of sense to deal with these two problems separately.
>As for the "it's an ICBM test!" crowd - bollocks. That's like saying the Boeing 747 was a test to see if manned flight is possible - total overengineering.

Not true. The North Koreans aren't at the point yet where they can miniaturize nuclear bombs, so if they're going to make a system that can deliver nuclear warheads, it's going to need to be something like this.
So completely misinformed.

The refuees are not leaving Syria/Iraq etc looking for benefits. They are leaving a severe civil war. Yes there are economic migrants moving to Europe as well but they are and will be deported. The reason they aren't staying in the poorer countries is simply that. They are poorer and simply can't handle the refugee intake nor provide basic essential services.

You can't blame genuine refugees for wanting to goto countries where they have the best opportunity of leaving a normal life.

The technology connection is more Pakistan-Iran-North Korea. China doesn't benefit from too much North Korean independence.

While you make some good points, I find implausible the argument that the average grunt is too technically/literally illiterate to use a chat app, yet competent enough to use "gaming systems and voice chat".
Thanks for the heads-up. We'll look into ways to speed things up in future releases.
Yeah. Open source seldom realizes it needs the same infrastructure as a commercial product: separate project management issue queue and support issue queue.

What are we doing next, what version did we fix Y in, what VCS branch are we working on Z in, who is working on X, etc. are separate from Who reported problem, what version of the product do they report having used, what did they expect and what did they get, is that part of the design of the product, did they ever get back to us, etc.

The other problem is ill-defined roles. If everyone's a developer is a support volunteer, is a user, then you can have people be pretty shitty and reflect on the project in a way that they shouldn't be allowed to.

Random users should be able to file support tickets, but only to view project management tickets.

Only designated volunteers should be able to respond to existing support tickets and create project management tickets from them, these people speak as the public face of your project, that's really really important to have a handle on.

Support tickets probably shouldn't be public, for that matter.

Now of course this is all unpaid, volunteer -- I'm not saying any of these queues should have a defined SLA or anything. By all means keep project a bazaar -- let support queue handle outside feature requests and feedback and everything -- continue to have a public repos, roadmap and changelog, etc.

Are you just making a guess or do you actually know what is happening here? Because from what I've been able to tell so far, what you say is not what is going on here. It seems to be passive monitoring. If you have evidence to the contrary please post it.

Artificial general intelligence certainly exists --that just means a learning model that doesn't have specific rules for any domain--, it just isn't very good in every area yet.
> With weak IP laws, tecnology moves at a snails pace and small business owners really can’t compete.

I beg to differ. With weak IP laws, technology moves at breakneck speeds with no artificial roadblocks (patents). Take dual-sim phones as an example of Chinese innovation - virtually every Chinese OEM supports them. Imagine if Apple had invented (and patented) this tech: only Apple would have it.

And this is why the Australian Government uses offshore processing. These people don't get to come to Australia. This has significantly deterred economic migrants from entering via boat.

Code-of-Conduct VS No-Code-of-Conduct?
One particular example that I recall was that if you calculate something like

foldl (+) 0 [1..1000000]

(i.e. calculate the sum of the first 1000000 natural numbers)

Then the obvious way to do it is to simply keep a running total, but haskell doesn't do that, it constructs the expression:

(...((1+2)+3)+4)+5)+...)+1000000)

And tries to evaluate that, which tends to cause stack overflows, and is just generally slow. To fix it you have to use the following expression instead:

foldl' (+) 0 [1..1000000]

This problem is described in more detail here: https://wiki.haskell.org/Foldr_Foldl_Foldl'

> 2. A PGPSQL function that attempts to INSERT, catches the duplicate key exception and instead UPDATEs (also handling the case that the row vanishes), which is slower than hell

That's not true, at least not when you're operating on a single row at a time. According to my benchmarks the function approach was usually within 10% of the native upsert -- even outperforming it by around 5% depending on data distribution. For insert-or-select (instead of update) the function consistently outperformed INSERT ... IGNORE.
It is irrelevant for this orbit. The ITU assigns slots for geostationary orbits but you don't have to get permission to put a satellite into a non-GSO. Countries are, however, expected to notify the ITU of their intentions so that the ITU can disseminate that information to the rest of the world and coordinate to avoid any problems (this is more to do with radio frequencies than avoiding physical collisions).

North Korea notified the ITU a few days before the launch but the information provided was incomplete (they didn't include the frequencies the satellite will be using).

They expect it to have a four year life, by the way.
Those aren't bad websites. Those are good websites for bad products.
As far as "bad science" movie plot holes go, I don't think this would even be on the list.
I'm not sure why you'd say that cities are unsustainable. All the folks who research this stuff seem to agree that urban living is more sustainable; urbanites tend to use less resources every way you cut it. They drive less, their houses are smaller, their houses leak less energy because they typically have fewer surfaces exposed to the outside environment, they can rely more on common infrastructure for moving resources around instead of having to have everything moved around by truck, etc etc.

I'm also not convinced you can really blame urbanites for the fear of terrorism. Cities might be the preferred target for terrorist attacks, but at least in the USA people it's rural folks who tend to be more worried about terrorism while urbanites tend to take a more balanced view of the subject.
Yes, but the land and any rights appreciates. Only the building and some other improvements may be depreciated. In many markets a large percentage of the property is in first category.

Also you generally only realize any gain / loss when you sell property.

Even non-YC companies, those long-established and with actual product, are following this trend, and I find it quite unpleasant too. When I come across a sparse page with one or two huge images and almost no text, I think to myself "where's all the content?" The whole "mobile first" movement is somewhat responsible too, popularising HUGE buttons and text that would be OK on a small smartphone or tablet screen but ridiculously awkward to use on a larger display.
One of my coworkers did the same thing years ago, and he still takes flak for it.
Bad dentists do operate. Guess how we deal with that? Take away the license.

And as others have pointed out, it's more than a bad haircut at stake. Especially if you're a female -- some jackass wielding some dye or chemical can damage your hair or scalp permanently.

Why giving advice has become a field where you are allowed to charge a wealth tax is beyond me. It cannot last. 1% of your wealth every year, year after year. Just imagine if the government tried that on. "We're having a 1% wealth tax to fund education and health for the very poor." And yet if you do it fund luxury property and porche consumption, that's ok somehow. No doubt there will be a bunch of people commenting here who are stupid enough to have bought the con or have a vested interest arguing that 1% wealth tax is value for money...
