The HN moderators now support some duplicates. Sometimes things fall too quickly off the first page, or are at the wrong time of day and not really noticed, where it might be noticed a couple of hours later.

When there is a duplicate, at least in a case like this where the "past" link shows no previous postings, I tend to also include a link to the previous posts. For example: "Third time this has been posted: https://hn.algolia.com/?query=global-warming-sea-level-carbo... " works because the slug text is the same. Turns out the title of this submission uses "in" instead of "within", which is why it's not trivial to find previous submissions.

FWIW, of the previous two postings, only one had a comment; drallison posted a link to resources that cryptoz also points out in this the comments to this post.
Before Napoleon there was such a thing as "restorative justice": "Restorative justice is an approach to justice that focuses on the needs of the victims and the offenders, as well as the involved community. This contrasts to more punitive approaches where the main aim is to punish the offender, or satisfy abstract legal principles.

Victims take an active role in the process. Meanwhile, offenders are encouraged to take responsibility for their actions, "to repair the harm they've done – by apologizing, returning stolen money, or community service".[1] In addition, the restorative justice approach aims to help the offender to avoid future offenses. The approach is based on a theory of justice that considers crime and wrongdoing to be an offence against an individual or community, rather than the State."

Of course this is not for the mentally ill and/or murders, rapists etc. Surprised the author didn't mention it! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restorative_justice
I think only the individuals that pose a real and significant physical safety threat should be put behind bars (i.e those that are likely to physically attack others).

For everyone else (incl. white-collar criminals, non-violent drug offenders, etc.), we need to figure out a more cost-efficient, recidivism-minimizing corrections system.
I don't think that is accurate. If your work is derived from the source - even if you don't replicate the original - you're infringing copyright. That's why clean room design is so important.
Sure, there is no official bug for this. The only way to see it is to check the dates when the new API was applied - its far too late after releasing versions already supporting brotli, but this commit was not backported anywhere so in a real life, its broken in FF. Just get an nginx, nginx brotli module from google and use FF 45. Good luck :)

Can't ignore in all that, the issue of public order. Going soft on bullies (which is what many smash-and-grab criminals may be) means it grows without limit. So establishing public order is not an optional thing.

I think most spiders are not usually considered cute, but I've heard many people call jumping spiders cute. eg:

Amazing creatures. Before you consider one as a pet realize that the combination of their long lifespan and their intense desire to bond means you need to make a serious commitment that people often break.

Watch Nature's 'Parrot Confidential' to get an idea of the consequences of breaking this commitment. Parrot Confidential is an excellent, though heartbreaking, documentary that highlights the plight of these intelligent creatures in captivity.

Wait, so what's your specific question?
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=br

So, instead of using a word which is mostly used as a friendly term of familiarity/endearment, they decided to go with a word which has connotations of racism.

I... can't even.
How about sociopaths? They can become serial offenders, learning all the while how to apologize more effectively each time they are apprehended. If a crime has little downside, then crime will grow.

Well, just remember that the time of these pictures is also from before USSR started to meddle extensively in the country. Afghanistan was a kingdom until 1973, then after a coup a "republic" with closer ties to USSR, and was later declared an "Islamic republic" by Soviet ally Najibullah.

> I'm not insinuating anything, I'm explicitly stating that this type of work agreement should not be banned.

Unfortunately, evidence has shown that employers are using such rules to take advantage of workers. Therefore, it should be heavily regulated.

We disagree, but that's okay. See you in the public policy arena.
The title of this submission is "Scientists warn of perilous climate shift in decades, not centuries". The previous two links used "Scientists Warn of Perilous Climate Shift Within Decades, Not Centuries".

Note the difference between "in" and "within".

The actual NYT article uses "within", so this submission title is incorrect.

(Edit: originally I thought it was due to the different URLs used, then I thought it was the difference in case. On the third try I noticed that one differing word.)

Oh god. Trying to troll the trolls and fight back just tends to lead to a cycle of revenge and an online civil war. This sort of reasoning is partly why GamerGate blew up the way it did, because people (on all sides) were attacking the hell out of everyone who disagreed with them. What was a disagreement over a fairly minor matter soon exploded into people trying to find excuses to get their opponents fired/arrested/swatted/etc.

The internet doesn't need more excuses to form social media vigilante mobs.
And there lies Twitter's main problem, along with a lot of other startups. Many tech companies should just be small or medium sized. The underlying opportunity was not as enormous as investors predicted. But they've raised billions of dollars now, so they have to at least appear to be trying to force the issue.
My mother's recipe has completely ruined US-style mac and cheese for me. I get it, this isn't snobbery: I know it's a phenomenal comfort food and it's a trivially easy, un-refusable kid fuel that I regularly use to silence my screaming younglings, but I just can't enjoy it personally.

Her recipe goes something like this, E&OE, bit fuzzy on quantities, but dear Lord it's delicious:

Get your macaroni boiling away.

Then in a separate saucepan:

Couple tablespoons of butter.

Melt that.

Tablespoon of white flour.

Tablespoon of Coleman's mustard powder.

Incorporate gradually, stirring until it's smooth paste.

Milk (I forget how much, I know how much to pour, like a mug's
worth?)

Add slowly, keep stirring, keep smooth.

Sufficient grated cheddar cheese, I like about 50% mature, 50%
lighter, put about half in.

Same, keep it smooth.

Season around about now.

Stir in the macaroni, getting all the goo worked in.

Stir in a large tin of whole plum tomatoes.

Keep stirring, get it all even.

Transfer to a baking dish.

Put the remaining cheese on top.

Heat in an oven, 350f, 45m I think just get it hot and melty.

Brown under the broiler to get awesome caramelized crispy
cheese top.

Serve with lettuce so you don't feel like a total fat bastard (actually the ice cold crunch is a great complement).

Sleep.
It's a Very Important Perro
You misunderstood my point.

The problem isn't that Twitter will go bankrupt, because it might as well operate for those 412 years as you said, no problem here. But if it won't be making any profits then it's stock price can fall another 77 percent, or more.

Twitter's CEO and employees will be fine, but shareholders will loose patience (and money).

EDIT: I've just thought of the way Twitter should proceed with it's business - stop pretending it is a business in the first place.

Twitter should be officially converted to what it really is: charity organization with focus on freedom of speech. This would give them some tax benefits plus the possibility of raising money through donations.
My specific question is would it be legal to use the GPL fork now marked as non commercial in an commercial application ?
If in doubt the website lists "Have a question not answered here? [...] or contact the Compliance Lab at licensing@fsf.org."
I think the point is that by doing this you're undercutting the validity of the complaint. It feels more transparent that someone is complaining about the change after it having been explained to them when they clearly haven't noticed it in the preceding months.
All persistent dynamic structures are fundamentally circular motion. And there has to be an energy gradient to drive the motion against the resistence that is required to reproduce.

So, imagine a torus in a bath of molecules such that the torus rotates in proportion to the flux of light through it's hole. The torus rotates not like a steering wheel, but around itself (called poloidal rotation), such that the inside squeezes together and the outside expands. This might catch molecules from the surrounding bath, expanding the torus, changing it's shape. It would also tend to change it's relationship to incident light.

At some point, the torus could "shed" a second torus, roughly equal to it's original, smaller shape, which would participate with the environment in the same way, aggregating energy and matter to reproduce itself, until either all light is consumed, all free matter is consumed, or both.

Anyway, I'm not sure if this is all that realistic - but I think it captures the important quality of "life" when it comes to physics, mainly that life is circular motion that has the general character of memory and reproduction.
Constructive.
You keep saying that prison deters public order offences. It clearly doesn't. I'm curious why you think it does?
Only $10k for a remote code execution bug?
You should at least be comparing expected outcomes (if not worst possible outcomes) rather than actual outcomes. Especially because your thought experiment is subject to extreme (literal) survivorship bias; no murder victim will answer your hypothetical. Other crimes such as carjacking, which has a 50% death rate for the victim, should be punished very severely even if the victim survived.

In addition, in cases where people do things like cheating, they could blame the 'victim' for actually filing for divorce, and not being more forgiving. The divorce filing could be seen as much more damaging to children than the actual cheating, unless you try to instate some sort of negligence standard for 'immoral' activities. Another interesting case might be a child 'coming out' as homosexual when their parents are very religious and consider homosexuality a sin; is the child not inflicting harm here?

Is honesty (or lack thereof) more troubling to you than threatening a fellow human being with disability or death?
I think this is missing a big point of the article - Currently there is a real perception problem that probation (etc) is not enough punishment, therefore a lot of people get sent to prison. This is actually the same as you're saying.

So his solution is to provide a harsher middle ground, that provides more punishment and more "benefits" of prison, without needing to send all offenders to prison.

In fact the solution keeps prisons around - partly for the violent offenders in your example, partly for those that don't get the message from the middle ground.
I think affiliate marketing is not so easy these days.

Most of the people I know who have made significant money through affiliate programs were involved in something shady like pornography or weight loss supplements. Like a good SaaS business, they can get $50 a month from you for years; however there is all sorts of trouble you can get into. Some of those guys are pretty fat and they show up at Vegas for a trade show and somebody asks them how well the weight loss supplement works for him and he says "I don't know, I never tried it!"

Some people have also made vertical-oriented or horizontal-oriented affiliate sites around the likes of Amazon.com and they usually get a few years of the biggest paychecks they ever ever seen but then they start having good months and bad months and they don't like buffering for that so they move to Seattle and go work for Amazon.com.

Whatever type of affiliate marketing you want to do you should make a realistic plan about how much traffic you can get at what cost, what kind of conversion rate you might get, commissions you get, etc. That is the most important thing about any partner you might choose.
> Is it getting flagged for being off-topic?

Yes, users have been heavily flagging all these posts.
I met a very old parrot in a pet shop. I asked about it - "Estate sale" said the clerk. I just went back and stood companionably beside the cage for a while. When I had to leave, I said "Sorry, bro!" The parrot looked at me, then in a perfect imitation of a child's voice said "Polly want a cracker? Ha ha ha ha ha ha" in the most sarcastic tone possible.

Heartbreaking.

> Are you insinuating that labor laws should not be enforced? Or that employers should discriminate against employees who want to actually get paid for the time they work?

No, he's saying employers will and should pay for work produced and NOT hours worked. If you want to get paid strictly for time worked, then only do time based contracting.
The Hogan Verdict
One thing is clear to me from all of this: Rep. Issa is a really smart guy. I don't agree with his politics (for PATRIOT act, against gay marriage, and supports anti-flag desecration amendment) but I have quite a bit of respect for the guy. A few weeks before pretty much anyone else brought up the point of NAND mirroring, he stood before Congress and confronted Comey about it. In general, he's written very well thought out letters before about issues before Congress.

In a Congress where the majority (!!!) does not believe that humans contribute to climate change, it's rare to find someone who actually thinks. Congratulations to Rep. Issa for his role in protecting our Constitutional rights.
How can you say it clearly doesn't? Sure it doesn't deter ALL but none?
It was too ambitious. Some of those examples, like shifting by 32, are about trying to remove even unspecified behavior. If you could reduce most cases of undefined behavior down to "what some real machine would do", it would be an enormous help, and wouldn't be anywhere near as hard.

For example you could say that division by zero will either give a result or trap, but that it can't do anything else, and the code path cannot be ignored. Or that an uninitialized variable is equivalent to initializing it with a semi-random number.

Even if an out of bounds array access will cause untold chaos, you can at least specify that it will cause that chaos at X bytes past the base of the array.

Merely creating an invalid pointer would be, on architectures where it doesn't trap, 100% harmless.

And for crying out loud, is forgetting to terminate a string literal with a " still undefined? There are so many bits of undefined behavior that are easy to remove.
And they both look equally similar to usr/src/cmd/whoami.c in 3BSD (1978).

Of course I can read something and not copy it. I can read a book and not copy it. I can listen to a song and not copy it. I can look at art and not copy it. And I can read source code and not copy it.

It's not surprising that your lawyer implied otherwise, as its "best practice" to guard against every feasible risk, no matter how unlikely. Understand that your lawyer is protecting you against a hyper-zealous misinterpretation of the law, not the actual law.

Swift outside of Apple is a long bet for now. It's just been open sourced and it competes with other languages in a crowded market.

As siscia said, you should probably pick a language that will teach you new things. Especially if you aren't hurting and in need of a marketable skill now. The investment will be worth more than just putting another similar language on your list. Why? Because you will learn to see things from a different angle and maybe tackle problems in more efficient ways.

Apple did a ground up rewrite of their SMB services after SAMBA changed to GPLv3... so their code base is completely separate. Depending on the exact nature of the vulnerability, it's possible that OS X isn't vulnerable even though Windows and SAMBA (oddly) both are. Or it's possible that Apple didn't want to be part of the PR move ...

Realistically it doesn't even have to be done on the weekend per se. Typically averaging about an hour every day learning new stuff should be totally doable on a weekday.

> Should we really be putting someone in prison for burglary when there are people who rip millions of people off with legal price gouging or break up a family by cheating?

I agree that cheating usually hurts more than burglary. However, it's not just a question of how harmful it is, but also how many people feel the urge to do it. We can mostly deal with burglary by criminalizing it, but criminalizing cheating would be a disaster akin to the war on drugs.
Well there's the rub - once you see the source code, it's tough to say you weren't influenced by it. In for-profit endeavors this kind of thing is typically done by having two separate groups of people, one that sees the competing product and writes detailed descriptions of behavior, and one that never sees the product, only the product of the first group. If you're careful about this and go to pains to keep the groups strictly separated, you're in the clear. If you've read the source code and go and write very similar source code, you're considered tainted from an intellectual property perspective. It doesn't prove you copied them, but you certainly lose a lot of moral high ground. In this case, I doubt many of the copyright owners are going to care, let alone actually pursue legal action. But seeing the source code is legally dangerous at times. I am not a lawyer.
I'm right behind you! Some ideas I've tried, who knows whether they work or not:

1. Remove everything from your resume past 6 or so years in the past. Put a little note at the bottom saying that your extended work history is available upon request. Nobody wants to read a resume over 1 page anyway.

2. Don't list any years on your education--just list the institutions. That's an easy way to leak your age.

3. Regularly scrub for "outdated" technologies and topics. Instead of writing perl scripts to parse log files and output reports with Tcl/Tk, you were a full-stack developer who processed data analytics from critical business infrastructure.
I disagree. If you haven’t been cured of spending all your money (or, as you say, “detachment from materialistic wants”), you won’t be able to save any of it.

Also, having money by saving it is not simply sitting at home doing nothing; it’s about feeling secure:

Intel didn't have as many protections as Microsoft did. The attempts to clone Windows, such as the efforts of companies like Parallels and WINE, never came close to being 100% compatible.

AMD managed to navigate a patent minefield and ended up with a 32-bit compatible chip that was basically a drop-in replacement, the user would barely notice the difference unless they went looking for one. The Athlon XP became a serious competitor to Intel's then flagship Pentium series. AMD was also the first to come up with a workable 64-bit IA instruction set that Intel was later forced to adopt because of widespread popularity.

Microsoft has never faced pressures like that. Windows is not something you can simply swap out. Switching from Intel to AMD was simple, your software would hardly notice, but from Windows to another OS has always been a massive headache.
Sorry not be positive about this but I think it's a big miss and a big missed opportunity.

It's not exciting technology and a very long way from inspirational. In fact to be direct, it's a deeply boring, pointless bit of tech. It seems to have been designed by a committee with the primary goal of not being in conflict with real world products i.e. the Raspberry Pi.
