1) Nowhere in the article is a ban on cactus propagation mentioned.

2) Cows and wheat are nowhere near being wild, free-living species. There's a difference.
First example:

> the man assigned to the adjoining window seat arrived and refused to sit down. He said his religion prevented him from sitting beside a woman who was not his wife. Irritated but eager to get underway, she eventually agreed to move.

Second example:

> She was in a middle seat — her husband had the aisle — when the man with the window seat in the same row asked if the couple would switch positions. Ms. Heywood, offended by the notion that her sex made her an unacceptable seatmate, refused.

Third example:

> “But this Hasid came on, looking very uncomfortable, and wouldn’t even talk to the woman, and there was five to eight minutes of ‘What’s going to happen?’ before the woman acquiesced and said, ‘I’ll move.’ It felt like he was being a yutz,” Mr. Newberger added, using a Yiddish word for fool.

The forth example is one where the man moves; the fifth example is ambiguous.
I think that when the stakes are high enough, you have to work to wind yourself down -- not to wind yourself up. And at this point, between Roe v. Wade and Guantanamo Bay (I oppose both, if you're curious), the stakes are definitely high enough.

Great letter, totally agree with the 'Clean Energy Crisis'. I'm glad Bill Gates stepped into the cause as it will get more lime light now. As an aside, I wish there was a way to turn off/on those side note in his blog, it was bit of distraction - that is why I prefer Safari's reading mode.
There may only be a few known plants, and it's likely there's already some in a botanic garden — professionally cared for and available for research, rather than stuffed in a suitcase then hidden in a shed. Several of the cacti mentioned are available commercially, but that's not good enough for these collectors.

(Incidentally, collectors also steal plants from botanic gardens.)

> Cows and wheat are in no danger of extinction

Not necessarily. There's very little genetic diversity in domesticated species, which leaves them susceptible to disease and intolerant of changes to climate etc. The "crop wild relatives" are essential if some disease does appear — as it did for bananas — and threaten to wipe out the domesticated breed/variety.

I live in Denver too and bike around absolutely everywhere. In a 3-4 mile ride on a Friday or Saturday night, I probably smell weed 1-2x. Riding through 'liberal' neighborhoods like Rino, Cap Hill, or South Broadway are no different.

I smoke, and I'm actually always pretty surprised by just how few people do smoke here. There is a group of the jam band follower types who go at it pretty hard but even in bars where there is a lot of them (Sancho's) you really don't smell it that much.
UnityScript is closer to ActionScript or Javascript-flavored C# than it is to Javascript. It uses class-based instead of prototypical inheritance and generally uses the conventions and concepts of OOP instead of functional programming.

Every time I hear someone defend the recent state of affairs by bringing up the gridlock being a feature and not a bug, I feel like someone who owns a delivery truck that won't go more than 10 mph. I go to the dealer and ask what the fuck, and the dealer says that there's a speed governor on the truck that won't let it surpass 80mph and the governor is just working better than usual.

It really depends on what you think are the features of Haskell that typify its "family". If you think it's typified by things like type inference, sum types, and typeclasses, then Rust will feel very Haskell-y, but if you think it's typified by higher kinded types, laziness, and functional purity, then it won't feel very Haskell-y at all.

Personally, I think Haskell and C++ are the two biggest influences I feel when using Rust: it has a lot of Haskell's philosophy around data types and polymorphism, and a lot of C++'s philosophy around the life cycle of resources, and the cost of abstractions.
Sadly the phone system is an enormous legacy beast, so this is a lot easier said than done.
My family adopted the "no gifts" Christmas rule several years ago. Apparently, my siblings were stressing out financially each year buying gifts, but I found it did wonders for reducing my own holiday stress. Now we just get together, eat, talk, play games, and play with the kids. It's amazing in retrospect to see how small a part of the family get-together was gift-giving. We would exchange gifts, stack our new toys into piles, and forget about them until it was time to load up the cars to go home.

Gift-giving can become such a social minefield too. We had a birthday party for my oldest son and specifically requested no gifts (he has enough toys). One attendant missed it or ignored it and brought one anyway. We politely thanked them for the gift, and were immediately confronted by several other parents who became quite defensive and a little angry with us (seemingly embarrassed that they had not brought gifts). Some of them even came back after the party with gifts to somehow make amends in their minds. There's a lot of social stuff I don't understand surrounding gift-giving.

There seems to be a difference between a plain search for cmdb, and a search for cmdb and some other term, which makes sense to me. If searching for for just "cmdb", I think it's likely you are looking for information regarding CMDB systems, and possibly looking to purchase one (and even if not, often sales pages will do a good job of selling the main points of a product). When using an additional term, I would hazard you are generally looking for a more educational response about a specific aspect or problem, and the search results seem to reflect that with less ads.

If ads are displayed more for people that are possible looking to buy something, and less for people who are not, then I think that's a net win, if done correctly. We'll see how it plays out in practice.

I think the idea is to apply "depolarization" generally, rather than specifically. You call out two specific issues; it's fine to not get on with people who have different (and strong) opinions on those positions, but it's entirely different to label an entire broad category of people ("conservatives" or "liberals" in the context of the article) as Evil and Not Worth My Time.

The biggest benefit for me internationally (flying long haul once or twice a month from SIN) is absolutely being able to take a shower between two long-haul flights and, if the lounge is not airside, shave (e.g. The Haven by JetQuay at SIN).

Peace and quiet is a second benefit. If you're waiting a couple of hours whilst sleep deprived (often the case for business travel or when booking budget flights that leave at 1:30am), those loud, constant announcements are very annoying. Bonus points if the airport has terrible seating and the lounge has comfortable sofas. If you need to work for a bit, it's a great place to do so, especially in airports that don't have free WiFi (increasingly rare these days).

The food is rarely good in Asia (at least at those lounges I have access to). Reheated noodles and some meat if you're lucky and flying at the right time. It's convenient, at most, saving you the trouble.

It really varies by city. HNL and NRT have terrible lounges for PP card holders - basically a room where you can sit for a while, sometimes with a free beer (but there is a great sushi-ya just opposite the NRT lounge). GVA has my favorite ones - nice view on mountains, usually empty (except if Aeroflot is flying soon...) and a decent breakfast with muesli and fresh bread and pastries. SIN lounges often have free massage chairs. Which are available for free in T3 as well, but it saves having to take the monorail there.

On timing, if you are flying long haul you can face serious delays (like a huge queue at check-in and security) and need to pad it by a couple hours. Most of the time, you don't face these delays and have a spare hour to kill, and in most airports the lounge is a better place to do so. Sort of applies to short haul too; I once missed LHR-GVA check-in on BA by a single minute and they were very annoying about it despite the empty airport (had to book another flight).
That's an answer to somebody's question, but not to mine. :)
Oh no, how can you live like this ?

> Personally, I don't understand why the people in the first article, that this one is about, were upset that someone of another religion wanted to adhere to their faith.

As I see it, they weren't upset that "someone of another religion wanted to adhere to their faith", they were upset that someone of another religion wanted them to take action to adhere to a prohibition of that other person's religion.

> It seems fairly reasonable that, on air planes non-the-less, that you will encounter many cultures that seem strange to you. Why would that aggravate you?

There's a substantial difference between encountering another culture and being asked to conform to that culture's taboos.
My wife is really into cooking and baking and she has some of those things and that is it. Almost nothing that isn't in every kitchen. I can't speak to running but I'm into biking, I know people with all kinds of gear, but I get by just fine with my dad's bike from the 60s and my day clothes. Sure I could go faster with different clothes and an expensive bike, but the part about biking I enjoy has nothing to do with how fast money can buy me, but the places I see, the routes I find, the exercise I get, etc. Some hobbies really do require more gear, but in every hobby you'll find a spectrum of a minimum amount of gear people feel they need or want.

Also you mention doing a hobby "well." There is a big difference between competitive bike racing and biking an hour every day for fun and exercise. Is someone who is into competitive bike racing doing their hobby "well"? More so than someone who doesn't have the gear and wouldn't win the race?

Bought a small $49 Mikrotik wireless access point [1] recently on the recommendation of a HN user. It's absolutely fantastic.

For those who don't know them, Mikrotik is a Latvian company that builds boards, and pro/prosumer products based them, using their own RouterOS, which is built on the Linux kernel. In addition to a terminal interface (with nice modern commands, ANSI colors and SSH), you get a rather bare-bones but really beautifully designed and consistent web GUI called Webfig.

Webfig would be terrible for most end users, but it's a godsend for techies, especially compared to the slow, antique GUIs that come with other routers such as Asus and Netgear. For example, everything in the GUI shows live metrics. If you add a NAT rule for port forwarding, you'll see bandwidth usage updated live via AJAX for each rule. Lots of little things like this make it really nice to use.

They have a live demo [1] for those curious about how it works.

I agree with both of you - this minimalistic getting rid of all your stuff is an affluent-person thing. That doesn't make it wrong, but it is an important piece of the background, I think.

This is part of why I wrote in my other comment that we should not conflate this minimalism stuff with some sort of higher virtue. It's just affluent people prioritizing a certain type of convenience over other types of convenience, because they can afford to.

Cash is an under rated gift.

Can get creative with different denominations and presentations. For example, my in laws will give a jar of Nutella as a Christmas gift, with some bills taped to the bottom. Always a little bit of surprise as to where the cash will be. Kids especially love this!

One Christmas, had the grand kids sing a silly song in order to get a dollar or two.

Lots of ways to turn giving cash from an impersonal gift, into something fun and creative!

Google Backs New Messaging Rival to Apple, Facebook That Even the Feds Will Love
University courses? I'm pretty sure CPUs were a huge part of my first year of CS.
> Let's say they meant what they said and everything stays inside Apple. Why shouldn't a court be able to order a search?

It should be more than clear by now they're not asking for a single iPhone's data - (the iPhone data in this case is useless). They're asking for Apple to create a new version of iOS (i.e. that doesn't yet exist) that weakens their own security protections to provide a backdoor allowing the FBI to hack into the iPhone themselves, which a) sets a legal precedent, b) allows them to keep going back to Apple crack new phones c) gives them access to software with a back door they can study and reverse engineer.

The FBI have carefully chosen this case to go public on (specifically denying Apple's request to have the case sealed) precisely because out of all its pending court orders to unlock iPhone's, this is the one that stands the best chance to gain political and public influence necessary to set the legal precedent.

Once set, it will compel Technology companies to create tools to weaken their own security, using their own resources against them, forcing them to include themselves as an Adversary who they need to protect their customers data from. Not to mention if Apple is forced to concede to the US Govt, it will be forced to concede to other governments as well. China have previously demanded to have a master key for all electronics sold in China which they had to back down from due to political and public pressure, if Apple concedes to the US Govt other governments will undoubtedly be demanding the same.
This is the correct answer. Metrics that determine cost for these specific ads are so high, that the cpc is very low. This also ensures competitors don't buy it out, but also allows a company to slightly alter the consumer's journey (by choosing the messaging in the ad).
When you say "limited genetic diversity" in reference to a mammal like a cow I am inclined to agree. They reproduce sexually and can gain or lose traits.

But I am unsure if you can have a 'wild relative' of a banana as my understanding is every single instance of the plant is just a clone. I might have it wrong however, the plant might be able to undergo sexual reproduction but is propagated by humans cloning it.

For example, consider Pando. Apparently the plant could theoretically reproduce sexually but hasn't in thousands of years. No one is even sure if it could be induced.

Key Differences Between US and UK Employment Law (2014)
From a practical point having sources of randomness/entropy isn't very useful. A CSPRNG will do a great job generating random numbers. It will create secure Tls connections and a ssh_key that's never been seen before. However it's Achilles heel is that it MUST be seeded with random numbers. That's hard to do in a predictable state, such as a headless vm.

If the seeds no good it can't establish a secure Tls connection to fetch random data (ala Ubuntu pollinate service).

The next thing to push crypto security forward is easy, efficient, and trustworthy ways to generate this seed.
>In such a case it would seem that a warm world, even with a higher sea level and the human movement that would require, would be less disruptive than much of current civilization being under 200 feet of ice.

How about the fact that many human settlements are supposed to be near bodies of water (both the sea coasts and inland lakes and rivers)? At least for the former, the higher sea level could affect things a lot. Though I agree being under a lot of ice would be worse - with higher sea level at least there is the opportunity to move to higher levels of land. But there could be several factors that could still affect things or cost a huge, possibly impossible amount - one example being the amount of land used for agricultural and other use land that might be submerged. Also, people need to be reasonably near the land they work on (even if it is an office), and again, suitable replacement land for whatever use (farms, industry, offices) may not be easy to find at the higher levels that people move too.
I had a look at the code a while ago, with the idea of using the AEC functions. However I quickly realised that it would be practically impossible to do that, and it would probably be a lot easier just writing it myself (even though that would be a hell of a job).

"Filter" in this case is just an analogy, and not necessarily a good one. We don't know the nature of consciousness and how it maps to brain activity, so it's not appropriate to assume that what is perceived as removing a "filter" is increasing stimuli, it's just processing it differently in some way.
