I would like to point out that Brazil currently is facing a extremely hard crisis, where people can't afford even food.

EDIT: why the downvotes? What I said is entirely facts, to help explain the massive amount of piracy in Brazil.

I suppose it's a question of utility. If universities truly (I doubt this is really true) cannot afford to pay everybody's tuition then how do you prioritize need? One could argue that as someone from a wealthy family that you have a decent safety net if you fail even with large student loans. You probably have a place to stay at your parents home if you really needed it. Contrast that to someone who might be poor and have the same loans as you do but perhaps they don't have their parents' illiquid assets to fall back on.

This happened to me around my senior year of college. It's a scary thought that once you're done with college you need to get a job or be homeless. It lead to a lot of stress in the fall semester of my senior year while I was job hunting. It also stands to reason that if you're from a wealthy family then you had access to a good education. I can't understate how unprepared I was for college being from a poor school district even through I was in the honor classes! Poor students play a lot of catch-up in college early on. This is really hard to do when you're also trying to work 20 hours a week to afford food.

I'm not saying it's fair that you have so much debt but if it's zero-sum for financial aid I can understand why you were not given any over poor students whose parents are equally not able to pay. You're not thinking about the external factors that statistically probably put you ahead over a lot of poor students. Unfortunately that is life all we can really do is make sure our kids don't have the same problems!

If a power user needs to do all of these things, chances are they aren't going to even think of trying to do this all on a tablet ala iPad. People use tablets to do simple tasks (check email, browse web, basic photo/doc editing, etc) that don't require something at least as big as a laptop. It's supposed to be a simple environment for doing simple tasks quickly. It's meant for people wanting a device that Just Works (TM) without getting bogged down in trying to get App A working with App B with App C with App D. This really is a non-issue and will always be one.

If you need to do some heavy work, do it on a laptop. You can buy tons of different laptops now that are very thin and don't take up much more room in your backpack than a tablet would. If you need any more power, then rent a compile server. There is always going to be a cost for having a portable device, it's that you won't be able to get all of your work done on it.

The real issue is when OS developers try to push this simple, tablet environment to devices that shouldn't need it.
This discussion is a bit confused. There are plenty of "valid" subpoenas or search warrants which are squashed after being opposed in court. I'm not sure if the other commenters really believe that no company should ever oppose a search warrant, or if they think "valid" search warrants can't be opposed, or what. But opposing an over-broad or otherwise screwed up "valid" subpoena or search warrant is a necessary part of the American legal system.
I think that both this question, and beachstartup's question about speeding up a website, are totally decent interview questions, for a intermediate-to-senior web developer.

But if anyone thinks that either of these questions is testing "critical thinking skills", or "problem solving", then I would like to hear in what way. Both of those seem to me to be pretty much archetypal "verbatim-recall questions".

Experience and exposure and education and ability to brute-force recall all of the above is valuable. But it's pretty much the exact opposite of what beachstartup said (s)he was testing, and there is zero "problem solving" in the "what happens when you hit return in a browser" question.

I'm a little bewildered how anyone could confuse these diametrically opposed aptitudes.
Excluding the first adverb, I think it is very accurate description of what nowadays is called "scientists", leave alone "researchers".

Well, I can see people buying this used because it looks good and fits in their hands. Thanks for the link. I run on 9 too - if it weren't for the SE which I'm going to buy I'd downgrade by now since it has become rather unbearable. I can load like one webpage into the RAM - switching to another app and going back to Safari will reload again - which, depending on connection and complexity of the page can take ages and you're also at the top of the scroll area again. Basically, this iPhone has become my E-Mail notifier and Podcast device (for which it's also at the edge of unbearable).
If you are interested in profit, the number of pirated copies is entirely irrelevant. The only metric that matters in that case is the cost of supplying the game for that demographic and how much money is expected to be made. This is the same whether it's a language or marketplace.

For example, if it costs you $100,000 to supply and Android version, but you expect to make $1,000,000 event after all the (assumed) piracy, it still makes sense to release for Android.
Maybe, but for the silent majority it's pretty straightforward: 1) we view information as fundamentally different from currency, goods, and services; 2)
we don't want to pay for information if we don't have to and we're not going to get caught.

The gymnastics are mostly about just trying to figure out whether we're bad people or not - because everyone else's favorite game is Shame the Pirate - but once you realize you're not a bad person and that you're okay with doing something illegal then it all just sort of fades into the background.
Correct. Facebook censors certain topics, but at least they're honest about it. Twitter claims it isn't happening at all, which is a clear lie.
The iPad Pro together with the Pencil has been an absolute game changer for note taking. I tried capacitive styluses on older iPad models before, but I've never had something before that is 100% my normal handwriting (indistinguishable from a scanned page). With the iPad Pro + Pencil for the first time, I can really "think on paper". In fact, it's better than paper, since I can move things around. This is using GoodNotes.
What's the best way to make Go more LISP-like?
This book goes WAY deeper into the patterns and corner cases of the current language implementations. Like the title says Advanced Swift, ie the book you should read after reading the book from Apple. It does a fantastic job of explaining not only how you might use the features in swift but the effects and patterns features might cause you to use. I say patterns but it's not a design pattern type of book but a advanced language type of book.

The vain of my existence. APIs are about data structures, relationships and metadata. Give me these things without requiring me to go through your GUI to figure out what goes where. And yes, do come up with use cases for the API. Try and see it from the point of view of someone who does not know the implementation details. It's a very simple concept that for some reason gets lost.

The complexity of fully iterating over a lazily-sorted range is more than 'somewhat slower'. At a guess I'd say it's O(n^2) rather than O(n log n).

2. If you think health and hygiene standard in restaurants are good, I don't know what else to say but many restaurants receive C or lower grade in NY. Some due to discrimination, some due to misjudgement, but many do reflect serious lack of proper maintenance and cleaning.
I think what you guys are doing is amazing and the world is due for airlines like Boom. I'm also happy to see that this venture is backed by YC. This is a huge step forward. Your prices bite a little and will likely be out of range for typical travelers but I'm sure this can be worked on. Is the airplane designed completely from scratch or will you be basing your engineering work on the designs of Concorde planes in some way, shape or form?
> it's in their best interest to deny care as much as possible, to increase their profit

That's not the case, as the comment you replied to points out.

Let's say an insurer collects $1B in premiums some year. The ACA mandates that at least 85% of that is spent on healthcare costs. At most, the company gets to keep $150M, or 15% of the premiums. For every claim denied bringing the payouts below $850M, the number they keep 15% of goes down, so their profits go down. Denying claims costs them money, rather than letting them keep more.

If the insurer wants to make more than $150M the next year, there is only one way to do that: pay more than $850M in healthcare costs this time, and increase premiums by the same amount. That means encouraging and approving more claims, not fewer.

Unfortunately, this aspect of the MLR promotes, rather than punishes, increased healthcare costs as a byproduct. Competition is supposed to be the check on that -- if an insurer doesn't control costs so that it can raise premiums and keep 15% of a bigger number, you'll switch to a plan with another insurer that isn't doing that and offers lower premiums. Unfortunately, that's not doing the job very well for a variety of reasons.

> What actual good do they do? None, they just come between the patient and the caregiver.

Insurance protects the insured from catastrophic losses by pooling risk. When the caregiver wants to bill me several hundred thousand dollars in unavoidable expenses, I very much appreciate having a middleman I only pay $200 per month to instead.
Yes, but for the first time, it's very tolerable (to me, personally). The friction actually does feel close to pen and paper
IANAL. Why does the existence of the AWA allow such things that the FBI is trying to do? The AWA seems to be a very small piece of law, and using it in the way it's being used seems against the spirit of it.

It's frustrating enough that code impact is completely unrelated to code size. I would rather our law not be the same way, but who am I to criticize.
Andy Grove was an immigrant to the US and a political refugee. Worth noting in today's political climate.
Having said that, D. Hipp has been very eager to merge other bug fixes revealed by ASan and perhaps MSan/TSan. I found a bug with ASan in our local SQLite version had that was already found and fixed with ASan upstream.
It's one thing to buy a company and then do layoffs to realize efficiency gains, and another to buy a company essentially for its IP and fire everybody. Sure, it's "cost cutting" taken to its logical extreme. But it's also incredibly wasteful and disruptive.

Valeant's was able to overpay for these companies because it was betting that its shady practices would allow it to realize outsize gains for the IP acquired, and that's turning out to be a bad bet. So not only have they gutted numerous companies, disrupting the lives of many researchers and others, but they are also now under a mountain of debt and have a bunch of husks of companies that aren't worth near what they were paid for. It's lose/lose/lose. The only people who made out are the ones who original owned the companies Valeant bought.

Only if the code is trivial.

Max/MSP and PD are the goto products here.

https://cycling74.com/max7/

They're incredibly horrible for anything complicated. Even a simple for loop requires multiple clicks to select the modules you need, multiple lines of typing to set their parameters, and multiple mouse movements to define the connections. It literally takes about around ten times longer than typing.

Neither handles encapsulation elegantly and transparently. (Max 7 is the best effort yet, but it's still not pain free.)

They have some nice DSP features for building DSP chains, and as long as you stick with those they're useful. But they're an instant nightmare if you try to do anything with logic that would be trivial in written code.

Reaktor doesn't compare because it just does the DSP thing. It's a very simple pipeline.

The takeaway is that simple module composition is easy, but non-trivial logic flows with many data types can be very challenging indeed.
> If this is truly the reason for the lotteries, is the government / tax agency giving out the prizes?

Yes of course. Every country has trouble collecting taxes. In Taiwan they memorialize the day when the police were too heavy handed with a woman selling untaxed cigarettes. A citizen died in the skirmish.

This day is 2/28 and largely remembered as the beginning of a 40 year period of martial law in Taiwan. I recommend visiting the 228 museum in Taipei's peace park. Even though the current government, KMT, revised the history in this museum to downplay the fact that 20,000 people went missing in Taiwan during this period, the museum still tells a great story. It's great because the story wouldn't exist at all in a place without free speech, such as China.
Yes, using a 4S at this point definitely changes your behavior. Like you, I was holding out for the SE and I'm really happy it's here and looks good (except for the 1GB RAM; that is disappointing.)
You nailed a pretty important point. It's now about branding, personal or not. Which really stinks because I used to love bouncing one liners with random people a while back. Twitter allowed you to poke somebody in a friendly way and get a similar response. Now it's just about brandind.
It would be more interesting to see what they are using to manage the servers and run opencv which is what the comment was asking .

Such an argument should mention the likelihood of a ban actually being enforced in a functional and just way.

"The public" may wish to eliminate all mind-altering substances, but the allure of altering the mind is strong, and the enormous contingent of people who desire to consume is going to have to be repressed.

>$100k salary with guaranteed yearly increases that outpace inflation (this year was a 2.5% increase while inflation is at around 1.6%)

I find it hard to believe that people advocate for such fundamentally unsustainable arrangements. Guaranteed raises outpacing inflation that aren't tied to performance at all? Nobody should be surprised when the costs to support a workforce that trends towards mediocrity (why try when you're not rewarded) eventually reach a point that breaks the bank (see California).

It's great that you got a position like that, but an economy cannot survive with a workforce that has massive compensation guaranteed without regard to market forces (see Greece).
Is "installing only to C:\" an actual Windows standard? I'm fairly certain Windows doesn't have a problem installing software to different drives.
Why are we still using the same designs / ideas approved by Steve Jobs in 2016? Its been 5 years and the new iPhones look almost exactly the same as the old ones - aside from some obvious local optimizations like processing speed and screen quality. It would be great to see something different come out of Apple, but right now it seems like the company is scared of coming out with anything truly revolutionary.
It's Medina. You got a ticket for being in Medina and not being a resident. The speed was merely incidental.

When does it matter what an element from a List<List<String>> is cast to at runtime? In a properly-written statically-typed program, types are a compile-time construct (ignoring the machinery of dynamic linking and method call semantics in particular implementations, which don't matter to the programmer), and though you may use them at runtime via reflection, I would argue that 99% of the time that you do, you're writing bad code. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20918650/what-are-the-ben...
It's not Apple who would take down the All Writs Act, it would be a citizen who had evidence against them obtained via the All Writs Act. They would have to discover that is how the evidence against them was uncovered, argue in court that the specific application of the All Writs Act was not legal, and a court would have to address it in a ruling. The result would be a reduction in scope of the act.

Source: IANAL, but I've seen stuff on TV.
Perhaps they think they've successfully moved the Overton Window.
I feel that time series implies different tradeoffs, this is very specifically build for metrics in the sense of application or hardware metrics which usually have a time time dimension but yes there are no general valid definitions

That's not really true. Businesses fail for lots of reasons which are not related to the founders doing something wrong.
The least that should happen in this case is the courts should ask the FBI exactly how did they found an alternative method to crack the iphones. If they don't, its unfair to Apple since they were potentially about to be ordered by the state to exploit a vulnerability themselves. IANAL of course, this is just my informed view based on existing facts.

Ask HN: Ideas for a Robotics/ECE capstone project?
I'll be entering my final year of engineering in September and I need an idea for a capstone project. We'll have a team of 3-5 smart, hard-working people and around 6 months to complete it. I would like to tap into the wealth of knowledge of HN readers and hopefully find a suitable idea.

Some thoughts I have so far:

1. Whatever the project is, it has to be something we'd be able to quickly iterate on (build-test-evaluate)

2. If there are types of sensors that are just now getting increasingly cheaper, we could probably use them (e.g. IMUs got cheaper when smartphones became popular). Same goes for types of data (e.g. high-res geospatial/satellite imagery).

3. High-impact projects revolving around energy, clean water access, food production, resource utilization and other humanity-level problems would be awesome. However, making something just for the sake of cool tech would work too.

Please feel free to share any thoughts/ideas you might have.
Thank you!

Maybe maybe not. Democracy must mean that society has some right to shape how people will behave within it, and sometimes that imposes an affirmative burden on people to behave a certain way (e.g. mandatory schooling). That's not all tyranny.
Yup this would have been a continuation of Scalia's majority opinions like Jones, Kyllo, and Jardines.

Also his dissent in Hamdi v. Rumsfeld was and will be fantastically important.

> The purpose of research universities is to engage in scientific research, not to educate people.

I take issue with a couple things in that sentence. That is the goal of a small number of private research universities. I don't know of any public research universities, even the highest ranking, that don't dedicate significant resources to undergraduate education.

The second thing is that the mission of Harvard et al is primarily scholarship (in any field) and graduate education, not just scientific research.

These are minor points relative to your comment but I don't want the public to believe all research universities exist to do only scientific research.
Ontario's jobs fund subsidizes a company so rich it can't keep all its cash
Sure, I can grant that. Now we just need to define the line itself—its expressed purposes and guiding principles. Once we agree on the principles of the line, we can start working on the contours of where the line is drawn. Unfortunately, we keep jumping into drawing [and erasing] lines without enough discourse regarding the principles of those lines. The drug war is only one such example.
