So the entire idea was first inspired by timing athletes at trac practices. our coach would spend hours timing with 5+ stopwatches in hand, write everything on a clipboard, then type it into excel. He then would print it all out and give us a binder of numbers at the end of the year. We wanted to design a system that would be awesome for repeats on the track/xc course, and its slowly progressed into timing races.
>what is the physical damage to you if you get raped?

I don't think the parent was suggesting only physical damage be considered. They discussed several examples of emotional damage.

EDIT: And I'm not really sure why you're calling their post reductive either, it seemed fairly nuanced, and ended with "It's a very deep question. Not something that HN will answer in a thread."

Not sure why you got downvoted, I'm pretty left wing but people who pull the kind of shit in that story really do belong in prison, it doesn't have to be a harsh american-style prison but it has to be secure, some people just shouldn't be in society because of the threat they pose to the rights of others.

How will this work in today's society? Judges give the harshest sentences in election years compared to other times because they want to look "tough on crime". Some of the most asinine laws stem from politicians who also want to look tough on crime. As a society, we treat people who've been to prison like crap and our movies make prison rape jokes, as if it is something to be joked about. It is just depressing.

It's certainly religious flamewar, which has no place on Hacker News.

It's also intellectually puerile, as if there's such a thing as "just reading" any text and "going figure", let alone an ancient text with countless interpretive traditions.
The error in thinking here is your equivocation of the emotional trauma of having your groceries stolen with being raped. Your conclusion is extreme, but it is not a logical conclusion.
At an individual level, I agree. At the community level, I don't think it will be that easy. If trolls can destroy the SNR, the community will also be destroyed.
It's important to remember that toys like the MicroBit are not just about writing computer programs: they're about actually doing things in the real world.

As you say, we're so painfully overexposed to seeing cool stuff on a computer screen that none of it's cool any more. A child learning basic programming can't make anything that can compete with even the lousiest modern game.

But take that same basic programming and apply it to something that's physical, which you can touch and pick up and show your friends... now that's cool again.

Remember Logo, Papert's educational language? With the turtle graphics? You weren't supposed to drive a pointer around on the screen. You were supposed to use with a real turtle, driving around on the floor drawing pictures with a marker pen!

I'm from Germany. We have all the upsides you mention, with a system that's less drastic than Basic Income.

There are more details involved, but roughly speaking: If you fulfill certain minimum requirements of being in training, beyond retirement age, medically inhibited from working or prove to the state that you send at least two job applications per month, the state guarantees you a certain quality of life.

You're guaranteed decent housing (rent, phone, internet, water, electricity, heat other utilities), health insurance (and various other small insurances), and in addition to that receive (currently) 391€ per month per person, and if you have extraordinary expenses (usually medical or social stuff) they're covered for you. (And yes, my own sister lives on this. She's well cared for. It's honestly an amazing boon on the rest of the family.)

And despite all this workers here aren't even easy to terminate. For early termination the workplace has to prove active illegal acts, or prove that they informed you of low performance and you did nothing to improve, with limits on both lay-offs or quitting usually being between 3-6 months (depending on the contract).

The difference with a VM image (or an .iso, for that matter) is that it contains both your program and the JRE in the same deployable unit, which is what the license permits.

Docker containers, by contrast, store each layer separately, so that you can build up a runtime by overlaying multiple layer elements. Each software install results in its own layer being created and then pushed independently. This allows deltas to be shipped more efficiently since they only store the changes for each layer. However it now means that you're shipping the JRE separately from your application, which is against the rights given by the license.
I would assume most devs do the same all the time to benchmark technologies or approaches to problems.

(Then again I seem to meet far more devs who are telling me about using shiny new tech X and how amazing it is, than ones who actually tell me about how a specific tech solves their use case).

> Or that an uninitialized variable is equivalent to initializing it with a semi-random number.

This proposal destroys lots of dead code elimination optimizations that are very important in code post inlining (for example, in the STL).
The qualifier there is "intrinsic" dimensionality. There is smoothness to the image such that there is a lower dimensional embedding than 1m dimensions for a 1 megapixel image, particularly with any applied setting.

That said there is a bigger problem with those bounds because it doesn't incorporate model complexity. The VC dimension is much more insightful because the complexity of your model and the hypothesis space it represents is important for proper training. As an example, add a regularization term to your model and you're no longer doing anything like N/e^D. Convolutions, dropout, etc all prevent NN models from becoming too complex to train.
> However, the FBI must abide by the 4th amendment, which specifies that warrants are needed for searches. The issue of whether data of foreigners located on US soil is subject to warrant-less search/inspection is a matter of interpreting the 4th amendment.

And the interpretation is that a warrent isn't needed. The 4th doesn't protect me.
It's not obvious, but because of the way it's programmed, you have to remove the example function, since it parses the entire code block for similarities.

Note, I could be wrong. These could be the worst places you're talking about. But it seems like there are at least a few around 800k, and the housing market moves fast [so you'll see lots of options if you look for a couple months].
That's a fine reason for going the extra mile to protect yourself against a hostile adversary but understand that it really is "the extra mile". While it may be prudent in your situation, it is heavy-handed and unnecessary in general.
I think the point of the parent is not that we should punish more, it's that we should punish less: since we don't punish grave misbehaviors that have dire consequences but are technically not illegal, why punish shoplifting?
Yes, that's the one. I actually had a nightmare about it happening to my friend and I two nights ago.

p.s. Thank you for making a whole new account just to post that ;)
You're asking rhetorically, but I actually don't know the answer. At first, maybe. It seems by simple algebra "EVERYONE has $900" is the same as "everyone has $0", except now you planned your life around that extra mine-as-a-human-right-$900, but the mortgage companies know you're getting it, because everyone gets it. So now your minimum payment isn't X, it's X+$900.

>The Paris attackers were French and Belgian, not immigrants.

Two of the nine were not - they were actual, recent immigrants through asylum-seeking process.

"Ahmad al-Mohammad" who came as a refugee through Turkey to Leroa in Greece, and together with him were registered the fingerprints of another immigrant known as "M. al-Mahmodin".

The rest were second-generation immigrants:

Bilal Hadfi was French but he spent time in Syria and came back, not through controlled border crossings, so he might have come with the asylees/immigrants. Others included French citizens Samy Amimour, who fought in Yemen, and Omar Ismail Mostefai and Foued Mohamed-Aggad who fought in Syria, and they were on wanted lists but were not spotted on border, so they appear to have come through people smugglers as well.

You have to come up in the search results. I add technologies because I need the recruiters to see me.
No, the point of a contract is to agree on mutual conduct. The conduct itself is still subject to laws, unless the law itself explicitly allows to be overridden with contracts.

We can agree in a contract to sell you my daughter's virginity, but that does not mean you can actually buy it.
How the United States Learned to Cyber Sleuth
There is more to AI than complicated neural networks. There are simple well-studied algorithms that deliver predictable results and work very well if you apply them to the right problem. Look into K-means clustering, linear regression and decision trees to get the taste.

Good introduction to the field:
http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-comput...
but see, this is the issue with it happening today - back when it was all random IRC channels, ICQ chatroom or worse, if anyone was trolling you, it was easy to switch off and walk away and continue your life unabated, because it was just the internet. Even if it was real life, it was easy to avoid - you just don't go to wherever it was that these people hung out. It was easier for us to have (and I hate myself for using this word, but) a "safe space", it was usually at home.

For younger kids today, a overwhelming majority of their lives are online, so it's so much harder to escape - both for work/education purposes and entertainment, so it's so much easier to keep up the waves of harrassment, so simply saying "just ignore it" doesn't really work these days.
It might be clearer to say that AG was the best tech CEO in tech history, and SJ was the best CEO in tech history.
To be honest, if I were looking at a resume that reads like I expect yours would, I would probably pass on it unless I was looking for an architect/principal software engineer, and in that case I would need to see interesting technical accomplishments and leadership experience as well. Less experienced developers are cheaper, probably have a more current education, and are less set in their ways (e.i. more trainable).

I recognize you will probably make fewer dumb mistakes than a younger developer, and your experience probably enables you to learn new technologies faster (though I'd wonder if you didn't list any trendy technologies on your resume). On the flip side, if your resume showed a long period without any significant career advancement I might question your competence.
They will wish that they'd started the fight back against it, when they were in their 20s themselves...
OK, not many people "I wish I knew", but I get your idea. I can still follow "famous people" on Faceboook (though mine is limited to a couple of professional kayakers).

I agree that Facebook is generally full of crap, but when I look on twitter I don't see it being any better. The content seems worse due to the character limit.
I am a web developer, my entire livelihood would not exist if not for the internet, and it would be effortless for me to avoid anything online that is offensive to me, even if the entire country knew my name and wanted me dead. I am not sure you have a valid argument unless your business involves tremendous social media presence that only you personally can manage, which is both unlikely and still surmountable (just post stuff, don't read what others reply).

Your second point is a bit of a slippery slope. Yeah, you'll have people trying to SWAT you, but that's more an issue with our legal system than it is with bullying on the internet. The instances of someone, even on a national level of negative publicity, getting actual real world physical violence against them, is incredibly rare.

Your comparison to a riot doesn't really hold up. Riots are bad because they cause property damage, interfere with the normal functioning of a city, and get people physically hurt or killed. A fat acceptance advocate getting called names on Twitter hurts his/her feelings, which doesn't in my opinion justify having laws created to protect his/her feelings.
It does recognize these however: https://yurielkaim.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Why-You-Sh...

This is the biggest gap I find in existing classifiers, the inability to make leaps from trained images (stack of pancakes) to others (single pancake) that are trivial for humans. I suspect this is because most scoring algorithms for rating classifiers don't appropriately penalize absurdly wrong answers, so what we wind up with are systems that are simply very good at matching a new image to a similar reference image, rather than really "figuring out" what the picture is of.
And in the good old days almost nobody was trolled because the energy required to send a message via snail mail (starting with "do I even own stamps any longer"?) is several orders of magnitude higher than composing a one sentence death-threat on twitter.

It's probably a crime, yes. Unfortunately, you'll be prioritized accordingly. When prioritizing a crime that involves some anonymous troll responding with a death-threat or threat of harm that was most likely done in a moment of stupidity/weakness rather than with an actual intent to commit a crime, you're going to show up pretty low against the list of rapes, murders, assaults and thefts that are currently being handled. Once you've identified that the threat is such that it actually is a crime and can be successfully prosecuted, you have to go through the trouble of finding out who actually left that threat. Should they successfully uncover that information, the likely penalty might be so minimal that it's not even worth pursuing. Because of all of those circumstances, all but the most extreme cases of these get completely ignored (and many of the extreme ones).
I do not address the question of what (absolute level of) punishment (if any) would be appropriate for any level of harm; I am offering a set of criticisms of the standard (, how harm could be measured and compared).
Define "derived from".

Back in the BIOS clone days, they had someone read the IBM BIOS code, and write a detailed specification from it. They had someone else never look at the IBM BIOS, read the specification, and write code to implement it. (This was the "clean room" approach - the IBM BIOS was never in the room of the implementers.)

But that's still "derived" in the sense that it implements the same functionality. But it's perfectly legal. So "derived" doesn't mean "implements the exact same functionality as the other, and we examined it in detail to make sure".

Why did they do the clean room approach? So that IBM could never claim that they had copied the IBM BIOS, even by re-typing rather than electronically copying.

Well, if you're re-implementing it in Rust instead of in C, you're not copying it, either. You're making a completely new implementation. (Rust doesn't take C code as valid syntax, so far as I know, so typing in the same code from memory wouldn't get you anywhere.)
I think people underestimate how putting something simple in a kids hands at the exact right time can change the direction of their life.

Just saw an interview with Steve Wozniak where he spoke about receiving a crystal radio, which led to a shortwave radio and eventually his becoming a ham. I experienced the exact same journey step for step.

Ever wonder how Motown happened? Why in Detroit? It's because every kid got music instruction from an early age in the Detroit schools. There was a legendary music store that worked hard to put instruments in a kids hands for those who chose to pursue it. In other words Motown wasn't just an accident.

Wish I had the funds to give every seventh grader in Detroit a Micro Bit because I know that it would have the power to change lives.
Excluding? How? If it were a .chick or something similar I would not feel like it was meant for only female use.

This is CS, a lack of groupthink-y "professionalism" is why I like this field.
I think it's easily fair to say that git is by far the superior option to CVS, and preferring CVS over git is objectively incorrect. I think that you would be wise to invest the time in learning how to use git correctly.
Analyzing Samba with PVS-Studio on Linux
is there a science party?
Actually, two of the nine Paris attackers were (probably) from Syria and had come as refugees, as they were registered with fingerprints in Greece.

A few of the others were French and were known to be in Syria, but how they came back to EU is apparently not known (could be with help from people smugglers, avoiding any registration at borders, because some of them were on wanted lists).

> “The thing you have to remember is that this was before the iPhone was introduced and no one knew what the iPhone would do…At the end of the day, there was a chip that they were interested in that they wanted to pay a certain price for and not a nickel more and that price was below our forecasted cost. I couldn’t see it. It wasn’t one of these things you can make up on volume. And in hindsight, the forecasted cost was wrong and the volume was 100x what anyone thought.”

This was an interesting time for embedded microprocessors. I was a big fan of DEC/Intel StrongARM and XScale, and the team I worked with preferred using them in designs.

I disagree that it was simply an economic choice, and I think anyone who worked in the ARM embedded industry around that time would also disagree. The move to sell off XScale was after years of neglect. The most obvious defects were the PXA250, which could only cache write-thru due to a bug (Wikipedia does not mention this), and the lack of USB2.0 high speed, despite it being a key feature of every competing SoC.

It was obvious to everyone in my industry that ARM was going to take off in a big way, and exponentially -- "microcontrollers" had grown up, and reasonable compute power could be put everywhere at home, and even carried around with you.

Intel, on the other hand, was seen by everyone I knew, to be more concerned with cannibalization of its low-end x86 market. Stealey and Atom were coming down the pipeline (Silicon Valley secrecy wasn't what it is today), and Intel was looking to make a play in the market. Except, Intel's designs were off the mark by orders of magnitude in power consumption, and could never fill that niche. Still, the word in the street was Intel had bad internal politics at play, and its ARM offerings had to go.

So yes, it's a great shame Intel missed that incredible opportunity at a pivotal moment. But no, it was not an economic decision.
