Okay, but it's even more disastrous to animal life to farm animals. Over 150 billion animals are bred and killed on purpose. A billion is a thousand times more than a million, by the way. Using the argument that some animals are inadvertently killed as a byproduct of crop production, especially when the overwhelming majority of those crops are grown for livestock, is just logically fallacious and dishonest.

The crux is to understand that other people don't think exactly the same as you do. Many people will not actually see this as a sign of weakness. I am frequently able to understand why people do things that I would not do, and I'm no kind of genius.

UNIX is the C runtime, kid of.

They just didn't want to force it into other OSes when ANSI C was defined and eventually POSIX took up that role.

Depending upon your requirements, some of the other Chase cards are pretty useful as well. Currently you can use their United Club card to get a qualifying dollar waiver on status levels. It's otherwise not as good as the Sapphire but, if you fly a lot of domestic economy on relatively inexpensive routes, the waiver can be good to have.
Life, uh, find a way (to respond to incentives)
I have an interesting dilemma.

On one hand, I want to commend you for not using the author's clickbait title.

On the other hand, I don't want to give the author more exposure (because of the clickbait title) by increasing this post's comment score.

In the end, the first hand won. Thanks! :)
Is there any documentation on what a clickbait title? HN has guidelines on what to do when the title starts with a number, but the only line about clickbaiting is kind of generic.[1] Personally, I'm not sure if "I'll know it when I see it" is the best policy for this, as different people have different opinions on what clickbait is.

And then we have the problem of people just commenting on the act of editing the title, and not the actually content. That's hypocritical of me to complain about, though.

[1] "Otherwise please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait."
Yeah, it really should be up to the parents to make sure all edibles are locked up. An 8-year-old kid was hospitalized last week for eating a "cookie in a wrapper on the ground": http://www.kiro7.com/news/northwest-boy-hospitalized-after-e...

I find the story highly unlikely. It's probably more likely that he saw a weed cookie on the kitchen counter and ate it without knowing.
The article fails to explain where the 2*pi comes from, and why 1/alpha is more natural. Does this quantity arise in some context other than unit-analysis speculation?
SteamOS is what you might call an escape valve.

Valve make their money from selling games. Microsoft now have a store of their own. If Microsoft ever decide that they're the one legitimate way of selling Windows apps and turn Windows into a locked platform, then Valve are dead overnight. Having SteamOS gives them an option which is not beholden to anyone else. I'm not sure if the Steam Machine is ever going to be a viable console competitor, but doing it this way is a relatively cheap approach to gradually attempting to do that.
Why is AWS Lambda so big deal?
Also there are spam sites that are almost the same name as actual sites such airline tickets and concert venues. They manage to come on top of search results.
The purpose of ideal statements is to expose some facet of reality in isolation so that it can be understood. Where people get tripped up is in closing the loop and recognizing that the ideal is never present in isolation. It shows when they ignore details that might make their ideal less valid. They're still useful, though.
Actually many people have a preference for writing their Python libraries in C :-) Python was explicitly designed under the assumption that much of the heavy lifting will happen in C. And C programmers write their parsers in Yacc, etc.

(This is not to say that rewriting libc is a good way for people knowing Rust to spend their time. It's a ton of effort with the result most likely to be unused and if it is used, then it provides a small benefit to C and C++ programs at the expense of a rather scarce resource - Rust developers - having been diverted from benefiting Rust programs. If I were a Rust enthusiast, I'd much rather write libraries in Rust designed to be used in Rust programs so that more such programs get written more quickly than use Rust to put lipstick on the pigs that are C and C++.)
Unity's Javascript was actual Javascript. You might be thinking of their (deprecated) Boo language which was a variant of Python. Nowadays though Unity has pretty embraced C# as the language of choice.
Scientific units are:

1. Standardised.
2. Defined by a numerical relationship to observable physical constants, like c, by definition.

Desk widths aren't a scientific unit. You can only measure the ratio of width to height by reference to a standard unit like the metre, which in turn is based on a constant observable quantity - the distance travelled by light in one second.

You can pick your derived units using any relationship to c - like the distance travelled in 3.2 seconds. But that's still a derived unit, not a fundamental observable unit.

And ratios are dimensionless because they stay the same whatever derived unit system you choose, as long as it's consistent.
What you so maturely call "pussy whipped", others call "respect for one's SO". I can't recall the last time my wife said "no" to a large purchase. I also can't recall the last time that I had so little respect for her that a discussion of the allocation of finite resources wasn't on the table.
I cannot stand these racist morons myself. And a lot of what I have
seen in the last months clearly violates German law. But I think it’s
very problematic to put some private company in charge to do this
censoring.

The “no censorship (with some exceptions)” law in our constitution is
usually interpreted in the sense that you can say, write, show,
publish anything you want and that only afterwards a court can
rule that it’s violating some law and censor it („Verbot der
Vorzensur“). This principle is turned upside down when the government
demands that private companies do the censoring and all public
oversight is lost.

Also: I’m pretty sad that gone mad „Asylkritiker“ are here too :( I
always thought of hackernews as this little civilized island.
Many telemarketers are engaged in outright scams. I've listened to many of the recordings referenced by the article, and they're overwhelmingly the same kind of scam.

The basic idea is that they call you up and offer you something for free or at a steep discount. They explain that they need a small holding fee which will be returned to you, then they run off with your money and you never hear from them again. Free solar panels, vacation cruises, driveway sealing, and discount home repairs/weatherization seem to be the common flavors.
The german BDSG references "publicly accessible areas", so it still applies in a shop. http://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/englisch_bdsg/englisch_bds...

In my experience, flying first class is not a 10% premium or a 50% premium over coach, it is a ~2x-3x or more premium. I wouldn't call the alcohol and snacks "free". If you look at it that way, then flying coach gives you a free meal at say, the French Laundry.
I noticed the same as moxoe recently, and it feels different from the past ... Maybe because First is giving way to relatively Lowe priced Business class. There are fewer obviously rich people now , and more obviously wide people.
I think that's exactly why WebRTC "exposes" it. For p2p negotiation.
I imagine you're referring to high-roller passengers, who spend so much on a given airline they get extra perks like complimentary chauffered limo service and high-end hotel stays around all trips. For actual travel though, they still have the same seating arrangements on the plane as other first class passengers.
You get free alcohol & snacks in the economy+ section now, too, btw.
I solve this problem by being short. Other than EasyJet, I have yet to find an uncomfortable flight, especially in the US where there's more legroom than in Europe. I assume for the same reason that cars are more spacious.

Transatlantic flights are downright luxorious. They also give free everything, I assume it's a law somewhere.

The one thing being short is a superpower for :D
This is a really naive search method for a person whose job is to be good at this.

It's like watching the Spotlight team going through volumes of data themselves…

Isn't Data Journalist a thing already?
Google hasn't forgotten anything.

Anecdotally, most users do not know the difference between paid results and organic results, and the top paid result is usually what the user wants anyway.

Do you think Google didn't test this on millions (billions, even) of searches? If showing additional paid results negatively impacted either CTR or first-search successes or whatever metrics Google thought were important for their long-term success, they'd have surely not gone all in on this model.

Paid results are search results.

Bill Gates Sides with U.S., Saying Apple Should Unlock iPhone
The thing that's interesting is that quite frequently the site or page I am searching for shows up as an ad as well as an organic result.

While I've trained myself to ignore ad results, I find myself feeling guilty when in this situation. Should I click the ad? Does it support the site, or hinder it?
Ah, thanks that's what I suspected but never checked. Nonetheless I think that the responses of me and others in this subthread should provide a good view to how those things are handled differently in Germany to those who are not trolling.
I'm also Canadian, a high school teacher told me a whole bunch of students got suspended for selling weed brownies at school. He also said a girl got suspend for being drunk around the same time.

The law hardly matter in these cases, people do what they will do. If edibles are illegal kids will just make them at home.
Are the ads relevant to the search query?
DDG exists because Google lets it exist. It's not really a full blown search engine.
Why would it follow that less filters would infer less brain activity? - even partially. Surley any cleansing/removing of the filters would excite all the brain, as it reacts to new stimuli.

Actually I think I'm going to go with Scrypt. Just looking at my key generation code now, and it looks childish and terrible.
With all due respect, that's really just fear mongering. There have been alcoholic beverages that are visually indistinguishable from non-alcoholic beverages pretty much since we have had alcoholic beverages. In fact making a stiff drink that tastes like basically juice is a semi-comic matter of folklore among young human males... and probably females too. It's always interesting, and a little depressing, to see how casually people will attempt to elevate their personal biases into the realm of reasonable concern without even really challenging the basis of the argument. As long as it sounds reasonable it must be reasonable, and what could be unreasonable about concern for children?
"He said this month new data indicate that the biggest
increases in marijuana hospitalizations have been seen among out-of-staters, who might be naive about the drug’s effects."

Colorado is a high-altitude state, and dehydration is a common problem. MJ is famously dehydrating ("cottonmouth"). Combine that with alcohol consumption and you've got a trifecta. People who live here are both acclimated to the altitude and typically familiar with the dehydration issue and tend to take precautions. Out-of-staters are likely not acclimated and not used to living in an arid environment.

If you're coming to CO and you want to smoke, remember to hydrate. 2 liters a day, minimum.

As an anecdote I have a friend who works in an ER. He contends that most of the cases he sees on the weekends are dehydration (not necessarily from MJ, just overall).
> Why is cow vs golden retriever so important, but golden retriever vs potato completely laughable? You are still ending life to nourish your body no matter what.

This is what Jainists believe and they actually avoid root vegetables for this reason. I'd like to see you make the same argument for fruit, for example. Do you think "killing" a fruit is the same as killing a cow? Do you really think a fruit's life is "ended" when I bite into it? If so, you're just appealing to ridicule and I'm not sure this conversation is worth having.

> i would say methane from cows is less or equally concerning as pesticides

The methane emitted from cattle farming is literally one of the largest contributors to climate change. To say it's less concerning than the use of pesticides shows a deep ignorance of the contradicting evidence, or confusion.
Keyword wise? Yes.

Useful services I'd like to purchase? Fuck no.

I have a box set of all the books in the series that's followed me around unread since ~1985. I don't remember why I have them, but all this time I thought they were some hard fantasy yarn based in some non-earth universe. By the mid 80's I'd kinda had my fill of fantasy after finishing the Thomas Covenant tomes, and couldn't care less if I'd never again bump into another hobbit, giant, orc, dragon, wizard or demented evil soul who's burning desire is to lay waste to the earth.

I had no idea The Saga of the Exiles was about a bunch of time travellers and aliens set in the Pliocene era. I am definitely going to give this a shot now.

Whenever I try to imagine nilth class travelers, all I come up with is Hedonism-Bot from Futurama, giggling and eating grapes. Surrounded by giggling gynoid party-bots. In a solid gold hot tub filled with champagne. Entertained by a live string quartet. Plus Bootsy Collins on electric bass. As flakes of 99.995% pure cocaine gently fall from the ceiling, like snow.

As I don't ever get de luxe accommodation, I simply have no basis for imagining plus luxe.

I say, "Go for it!" Kozlowski's attitude is exactly what we need. That's not saying it will ship in Ubuntu 18.04... It will be carefully vetted just like any piece of software, but it's got to start somewhere and I like that he's sharing his thought process with the community.

As people have pointed out, it may not actually be the Rust part of it that's valuable, but the organization and code quality. Rah rah!
I understand that it's illegal to smoke outdoors. But in the same way that it's illegal to speed on the highway - nobody really cares until they need to meet a ticket quota.

The largest part of the problem is my apartment complex. The ratio of stoners to non is pretty high, so the smoke just soaks into everything. I live near Glendale, but it's the same everywhere I go. I'm aggressively trying to find a new job outside of the state.

Another minor issue is the smell of the grow (ware)houses. There's about a 5 mile stretch on 25 that reeks of them on my way to and from work every day. Same on the east side of 70.

Sure, the tax money is nice for some people. But I see zero benefit from it, and a lot of annoyances.
"It's a bug that you could rank highly in Google without buying ads, and Google is trying to fix the bug." (1)

I love that quote - by HN's own jrockway - when he was under employ at Google. He wound up effectively retracting and clarifying (2) but I believe it wholeheartedly in original form.

When you take apart Google's "Page Quality Score" algorithm they use to determine what to charge / rank you for each click you can see the brilliant intersection of Google's business and their product.

AKA they believe that the most reliable way to drive search relevancy is to make sure the guy on the other end of the table is willing to pay for that user's attention.

And they'll penalize the advertiser if they don't hit "relevancy" metrics to make it more expensive for that advertiser to reach you.

The relevancy metrics they'll use include page speed (good for user), time user spends on site (relevancy), actions taken - tracked by Google Analytics (relevancy), and content quality / uniqueness (relevancy).

If you've got a guy willing to pay with high relevancy it's a compelling reason to show nothing but ads.

Now is that REALLY good for the user across the board? No way.

Does this leave in the dust the small guys and dramatically favor the big guys with time and attention to get everything right? Totally.

Is every small business going to wind up paying a "Google Tax" - no question.

But still, that's why they do it.

Good point! The result should be that doctors will prescribe the "safest" drug, for which there are no generics yet due to the renewed patents. Perhaps that's even more important than the marketing thing.
I put most of my spend on my Chase card as well (they have some great transfer partners, especially for international award flights).

However, for me the $450 fee is easily worth it. The airline fee credit drops it down to $250. And $250 for lounge access + precheck + Boingo + SPG/HHonors Gold is worth it to me. Without those benefits, I'd be tempted to pursue loyalty to an airline and I save well over $250 a year by price shopping.
Psychedelics aren't about pure visuals. They're more about meaning.
Cool idea
A lot of what you say resonates with me and my recent experience. I found that when I need meditation the least, it's easy to find time and the process is effortless. When I need to meditate the most, this is when I can't find the time and settling down for even a minute is tough.

I dont know what the long term effects are, but certainly short term effects are striking. Keep on meditating :)
It always felt disingenuous on Googles part to first display a paid ad for the site that I googled when the first organic result is also for that site. If i google for eBay, and i unknowingly click the first "result", why should eBay be charged a click through on that? Bull shit.

Just BTW, you can book refundable 1st class tickets for free lounge access.

One could argue it's immoral, but lots of people (including many airlines) seem to think these things are just a part of the game.
You're making straw man arguments. Humans don't breed, enslave and kill billions of starfish, crickets and worms. Do you see what you're doing? Rather than acknowledge we're harming many animals which are no doubt sentient, you're appealing to fringes to bolster an illogical argument. I'm not surprised - many carnists take refuge in the plant-killing argument as a last resort. It's fascinating what lows the human mind will reach to justify cruelty. And so what if animals kill other animals? Do you really think that's a reason to act the same? Why pick this behavior, and not the one in which animals commit infanticide or sniff each other's rear ends?

> You seem to believe you are superior to plants though

The only one I'm superior to is myself when I still paid for the abuse of animals.
I'm somewhat similar to this except furnished flats are rare where I live so I have some furniture.

That said my bedroom has a bed and a side table, my living room a sofa, computer desk and TV.

Spare bedroom has my road bike and my cycling gear (as a hobby it's unavoidable).

I have a (somewhat) strict 1 closet policy for clothing, once I fill it for each item in something has to go (easy this year as I dropped nearly 70lbs, virtually nothing I had fits).

I could pack and move my entire possessions in a day and with the exception of my computer gear/bike stuff replace everything for under a 1000 quid.

I can't even claim any asceticism or anything for this, I just don't buy stuff I don't need and get rid of stuff I don't use because if I don't use it why have to clean around it.
In my marriage, all accounts are shared. The only money that I could call "mine and not hers" is the cash in my wallet.

This arrangement seems extremely sensible to me. I know it's not for everybody, but in our case we trust each other completely and share a similar outlook on financial things, so it makes perfect sense to just share.

Since we're in it together, we run big purchases by each other just as an additional check. This helps soften irrational impulses, lets us suggest alternatives to each other, and just keeps us up to date with what's going on.

Please tell me, how does this mean that I "don't have control of [my] own money"? In what way does it make me "look weak"? Why should I keep this a secret? And why should I care about my "social standing" in the eyes of people who think this means anything important?
> What you so maturely call "pussy whipped"

See now there you go. I say "back in the day this would be called..." and automatically I get downvoted as if that is what I call it (either now or back in the day). And yes I purposely said it in a way knowing that this might be the reaction (as an experiment).

In typical fashion, pitchforks for free speech. Walking on HN eggshells.
