I don't know what the effect was historically but right now if there's too many downvotes a comment gets greyed out. Furthermore you have to have over several hundred karma to be able to do it in the first place. In other words, the behaviour isn't symmetrical with upvoting, so I find it very uncomfortable, even for myself, to downvote merely for disagreement (i.e. the opposite of an upvote).
That's exactly what I'm wondering - whether there have been any instances of deliberate human-caused epigenetic changes in bees. In light of @ansible's sister comment that worker bees only live a few months, teaching or learning any new behaviour, let alone one as complex as recognizing and swarming an intruder to death, seems to be even more unlikely.
> It's not the CA's job to make sure your domain isn't expiring. It's yours.

Really? In the simplest case, their entire job is certifying that the holder of the private key is the holder of the domain name[1]. That begs the question, of course: how is it that we trust every single CA to certify every single domain? Why don't we trust the issuer of each domain hierarchy to certify only those domains it's permitted to issue?

The entire XPKI is broken, broken, _broken_.

[1] In the more complex case, of course, they certify that the keyholder is some external entity.
>I'd rather go out and walk

I don't know about ASP.NET Core, but I couldn't get .NET Core to work on my Mac. I installed the "official PKG." I then ran `dotnet restore` for a project I was trying to run (https://github.com/atemerev/skynet). It downloaded a couple hundred packages, then failed with an error like, "there is no run-time assembly compatible with osx.10.9-x64." I guess it requires a newer version of OS X, but neglects to check at install time.

I continue to use Mono and Xamarin Studio, although I'm stuck on an old version of Xamarin for now because I'm using Mavericks. At some point, I'd like to try OmniSharp with Emacs.

Except, anyone in America who doesn't get insurance through work has to assess all of the benefits/drawbacks of each plan without the help of a broker today. So the point is kind of moot. I think the bigger implications are that if I buy insurance, I can at least go into a database and look up to see if a broker is licensed. If a broker's information is stored in a database somewhere, it'd be much easier to seek out the bad actor for punitive damages. It also provides some fear on the broker side that if their information is stored somewhere that they are somewhat trackable.

Heh....you and me both. I'm a real fan of South American wine.

My pal, who was an employee of Oddbins (now defunct but was decent high street off-license [liquor and wine store]) had the good fortune of winning a works-paid ten day trip to Chile and Argentina to visit Concha y Toro's winerys (and some other producers). Back then they also used sell these other fab wines under the "Wine Maker's Lot" label which is what got me hooked on Chilean wines.

I work in fraud prevention and after 10 years of working with complex data and I am just starting to use machine learning (with a lot of software that makes it simple). I'd be hesitant to call myself a Data Scientist but have borrowed heavily so to speak. Thanks guys!

As my abilities to work with data have grown I've been amazed at the power of some of the simpler statistical tools and that they aren't more widely used elsewhere. My top X list:

- Statistical sampling to get a quick estimate. Most of the time a quick answer that is accurate to 10% is worth more than an 'exact' answer that takes a month.

- Statistical process control techniques to monitor operational process. Stop focusing on the noise and let the system tell you when something is broken.

- How to incorporate uncertainty into your models using Monte Carlo analysis to improve decision making. Our model projects that saving may be between negative $10M and $20M conveys more information than our model projects $10M in savings.

- How to incorporate trend and seasonality into forecasts using Holt-Winters.

- Use of split testing to know when you have a significant result.

I'm not a fan of "outrage news." This is a case of someone saying something stupid. (At least this time it isn't on twitter)

You know how hard it is to find someone who says something stupid on the internet? Not at all. (who's got two thumbs and is typing right now?... this guy)

I was actually prepared for a bait-and-switch and to agree with this guy. He's 100% right that he shouldn't be accosted by homeless people.

But because the social safety net should take care to make sure people don't become homeless.

This comes down to the subjects of Bernie Sanders' platform. Income inequality, minimum wage, etc...

But really, an "outrage-manipulation-clickbait" article (in my opinion) isn't the type of thing that we should be supporting on HackerNews. Doesn't really deserve an upvote.

It is no more abrasive, than to dismiss someone's concerns as "protecting a sacred cow". I don't think either was abrasive, worthy of a downvote at any rate. I did not downvote the OP, I only wrote to disagree.

Great, then write some more specific things about why I'm wrong instead of complaining that I'm not polite enough, without actually applying the same standards to the comments coming from the same viewpoint that you happen to agree with.

> market share does sustain the FOSS ecosytem

Sometimes market share does sustain the FOSS ecosystem indirectly. Many other ways of increasing market share do not sustain it at all. So growing a large user base for its own sake should not be one's primary goal or strategy. I'm quite happy to elaborate more but it's probably more suitable for an essay.

The deduplication code works, but each deduplication operation requires 3 serial IOS to lookup the information needed to check if deduplication is possible and if they are in aches, that becomes painful fast on storage with low IOPS. On my workstation where I have enough memory that the results of all of the lookups naturally fit and high IOPS storage, the deduplication code runs well. You would have a similar problem designing a system that perfectly deduplicates data at the record level if you tried.

There's "illegal" and then there's "shady"

We see a lot of that in the states. You'll buy a car for $1500. Both of you call the "official" price $500. The seller pays less sales tax. You pay less property tax.

Yes, illegal. But drug-running it's not.

It's one thing to want to make things tough on drug dealers or terrorists. It's something else entirely to want to be able to observe and control every instance of money moving through the economy. We have to ask ourselves what the real goal is here. Or maybe a better question is: where are we going to end up?

I know in the states we've seen a lot of drastic action around organized crime, mobs, and drugs. We had the RICO statute, then various laws around money movement. All passed because of severe and dangerous threats. But now? All of that heavy firepower we passed to prevent severe threats is applied to the average citizen. The effects are not pleasant to observe.
I think that gig work and basic income are very complementary. If we ever get a basic income I think gig work will explode: much more demand for it from workers who are much less interested in making extended commitments for work but still interested in occasionally picking up extra cash on the side, and a reduced need for regulation on the employer's side since it's so much easier for giggers to say 'no'.

How is it outrage manipulation clickbait? It's exactly what he said, and my first perception of it was exactly what he meant.

I would agree with you if he said this and then further explained what you did: "you shouldn't have to be accosted by homeless people because the social safety net should work..." Rather, he confirmed what we all suspected to be the attitude held by the uglier half of the tech community.

It should be discussed, but maybe it shouldn't devolve to a takedown of this one guy who – you're right – simply said something stupid.

Edit: After reading the actual letter (here: http://justink.svbtle.com/open-letter-to-mayor-ed-lee-and-gr...), it's honestly pretty sensible except paragraph 6. All of the crappy ubercapitalist rhetoric is contained to that one paragraph.

You don't need to really meditate once you get in the habit of breathing exercises.

After doing meditation for a while, I found it was much easier to just breathe and calm myself while going about my daily life.

Once you know how to do it on purpose, it's easy to do it in the moment. I don't feel like I really need to actively meditate -- I habitually focus on my breathing, and re-center myself all day long.

I may not get to Nirvana this way, but it makes my day easier, and that's all that I was looking for.

I know the proverb.

Zen is a form of Buddhism. Buddhism is interesting and many of the things is says are wise, but ultimately it sees life as suffering and its aim is to reduce suffering.

As interesting as it is, I come from a culture that is too different. No matter how futile it ultimately is, I want to _achieve things_. Being at peace with life feels good but is ultimately not enough.

I love Victoria 2, but it does feel a little more on rails than either CK2 or EU4. There tends to be a lot less really interesting ahistorical results than in the other two - invariably you end up with the USA, UK, Germany, France, Russia, and Japan, or possibly China if it managed to industrialize, as the superpowers.

ATS is interesting. I've seen it used in device drivers and one 8-bit system IIRC. The reason I left it off is that I'm not sure most people can learn how to use it. Whereas, we've taught ALGOL languages, Scheme, and Ocaml to all kinds of people where they're effective enough with types & assertions.

These more mathematical languages have to prove themselves out with real-world examples, algorithms and compiled code, before I recommend them. I'd like to see CompSci keep hammering away at them to find easier and easier ways of learning and using them. Not to mention improve tooling.

I'm not a fan of the "X", but otherwise it's a nice font.
If gang blocks are generated, you get more I/Os than necessary and an extra level of indirection, but the ZFS code base tries very hard to avoid that situation by switching to the allocator behavior at the metaslab level to best fit, such that most data written to the pool would not have gang blocks used at all. This is understandably terrible for IOPS, but it is likely the source of the performance degradation that you saw. You can probe for the zio_gang_* functions during a scrub to see if any gang blocks exist. On my pool that has exceeded 90% on multiple ocasioks, there are zero gang blocks and consequently, no permanent degradation from them. The only other problem that you might have (which tends to be caused by the order of writes rather than the fullness of the pool) is lower sequential performance from nonlinear block placement (one ZoL user measured this as cutting sequential reads in half on a pool filled with files made by bit torrent), but that is a much less severe problem, especially on solid state drives. If you want to fix placement, you can do a file copy or send/recv. The new locations should have blocks picked in sequence whenever possible.
Of course they do. They shouldn't, but the law doesn't work that way. In some cases the court may even decide to enshrine the public's opinion as a valid tool for determining legality (such as what speech counts as obscenity).
