When guns are outlawed, only lawmen and outlaws will have guns. Good. That's the state of affairs in every developed country except one and it's demonstrably better in every way.
I would actually be okay with this if I had any faith whatsoever that court orders would be issued based on significant evidence that a crime was planning to be committed or had been committed. But as we've seen over the past 5 years, secret orders are given with gags based on practically zero evidence and gather up the data on an unlimited number of people, for effectively no purpose.

We can't trust the Government to properly issue court orders anymore, so it would be irresponsible for the People to give them any more power than they've abused already.
None of the overheads I'm thinking about lend themselves to economies of scale.

I'm talking about things like:

* Admin costs (contracting, etc.)

* New tenant costs (marketing, agency fees, reference checks, credit checks, inventory, etc.)

* Landlords' insurance

* Extra safety checks (e.g. annual gas safety checks)

* Cost of downtime between tenants

* Cost of rectifying wear and tear (cannot recover from tenants)

There's also a difference in terms of maintenance. If I'm an owner-occupier and something breaks, I can live with it for a while, shop around, get a few quotes, and get it fixed at my leisure.

As a landlord, if something goes wrong with one of my properties I have an obligation to repair it as soon as reasonably possible.

Then every now and then you get a tenant who completely trashes a property, causing damage far in excess of any deposit, and which you're unlikely to ever recover.
It's amazing that there's a noticeably higher hit rate on a very precise line right down the middle and a relative shot gap 10 degrees on either side before reaching his "sweet zone". Anyone know why being only a few degrees away from center makes it harder to score?

I think Touch ID does improve security in practice for most people, because it makes it practical to use a proper password for your phone, rather than a four-digit passcode or no passcode at all, as most people did before.

You have to consider the limitations it has as well. An attacker could potentially lift your fingerprints and use it to unlock your phone. But they only get five chances to fool the sensor before Touch ID disables itself, and they have to do their work within 48 hours of when you last entered your password.

As with all things security, the important question is what sort of threats your defending against. For the scenario where I lose my phone or I get mugged, Touch ID is fine. If I'm defending against police seizing it as evidence, it's probably fine. I'd be surprised if the police could move quickly enough to make the deadline. For police encounters I know about ahead of time (like passing through customs), it's easy to shut the phone off to temporarily disable Touch ID. The only scenario where it likely fails is a targeted attack by someone with sophistication, like if the FBI thinks I'm a terrorist, and I'm not particularly worried about defending against that.

Note that your six-digit PIN doesn't necessarily save you here either, although it would buy time. Whatever the FBI did to the infamous San Bernardino iPhone would probably work on yours in a longer but practical amount of time.

People often say that fingerprints are usernames, not passwords. I don't think that's very useful. A fingerprint doesn't fit inside the old username/password ideas, it's something different from both, with its own unique properties.
Google does too to an extent, making troubleshooting more of a pain than it should be.
How do you cope?

Weirdly enough I started my career writing selenium test in clojure and got used to (reduce (map (filter ... way of doing things.

Then we moved to python and still I was at least able to do (modified(x) for x in xs where satisfies(x))

Then I needed to do some C# work and I really liked LINQ.

Now I work in javascript and still can at least _.chain(thing).map().filter().value()

It seems that we will use Go for some things, and as far as I know, I am back to using for cycles.

This is generally brought up as the reason that Go doesn't need generics.

I tend to agree with this. I've yet to come across a use-case where the current system is too difficult to deal with, but there are other people who have hit this limitation.

Maybe this can be solved by simply modifying the parsing of the keyword "type" (Or adding a reserved type "T") and telling developers that the functionality of "go generate" will automatically (in the compiler) expand and create type methods at compile time, and build the type generation into the compile phase, rather than a manual pre-compilation phase. I haven't considered the problems with this approach, but I assume Ian et al have.

It seems to me that the generated code approach could be spliced into the compiler with a few key-word parsing changes, but I'm not going to assume that the Go team haven't already thought of this, and there are probably problems with the idea that I haven't considered, above and beyond spec / compatibility promises etc.
I noticed that, and assumed it was issues with measurement.

Can you be more precise about "relatively weak security"? The accused in this case exfiltrated credentials to the system that was compromised. Most companies would fall to that attack.

Meanwhile: they clearly can't just revert the web page. Keys gave a hacker group a login for a web application. How, exactly, does Trib Corp know how much damage the hacker group did to the server? There needs to be an investigation, and the norm is that the investigation should be done by a third party.

Meanwhile, there's a principle in the law that you take the victim as they come. In US tort law, it's called "the eggshell skull rule". It means if you hit someone over the head with a book or something and unexpectedly fracture their skull because it turns out to have been as thin as an eggshell, you are still responsible for the damage you caused.

Admittedly I've never implemented a compiler, or a type system, so I was just speaking out of my behind to an extent, but your explanation makes sense.
Fuel efficiency and pollution mandates already occur through the Corporate Average Fuel Economy. Vehicles today, through the standards, are so much better than they were before. In fact, when people now try to commit suicide by locking themselves in a garage with the car on, there is enough leaks in a garage that it is near impossible. [1]

Telecommuting works, but it has been proven to have deleterious effects on workers and their progression within a company. If you are willing to take a risk on your career, then do it.

Cars are not subsidized. Gas is taxed as a usage fee at the state (14%), Federal (12%), and local (2%). Public roads are paid for by its users, however, the plateauing of revenues because of the CAFE standards has lead to the development of toll based roadways, which do not need subsidies.

Public transportation is socialist as it takes money from the gas taxes paid for by the public roadway users and heavily subsidizes public transportation. There is always a discussion to raise the rates on public transportation users to fully pay for its costs, but there is an outcry from its users. This is not to say that I am against it, public transit provides employment opportunities to low-income individuals who are not able to afford vehicle access. This is a public good that I am okay with using my taxes for.

This is not true. The bill would only apply to encryption mechanisms provided by Microsoft or a third-party application installed by Microsoft as part of the operating system.

Interestingly, this bill covers vendors and presumably US persons that "provide a product or method". You'll still be able to legally use foreign-developed tools. The US would have grounds to ask those foreign agents to decrypt data, but would have limited means of enforcement.

Absolutely not. The bicyclists are all over the place down here. They drive in the speedo suits and are fully aware of their rights on the roadways.
>I'm asking what gives anyone the ability to make a correct judgment about tools and productivity?

Extended experience (compared to someone who've only used X, someone who has extensively used X,Y and Z editors trumps them).

Besides, some people have so narrow a view, that almost anybody even a little experienced can immediately tell (correctly) that they are not using the correct tools. E.g. people coding with Notepad...

Also, science. E.g. statistical tests with control groups et al, with teams using A or B editor, and checking for speed of writing code, number of bugs, impediments to workflows, etc.
There are tons of taxes on gasoline, so you do pay more taxes to drive a low MPG vehicle. It's not quite what the parent meant, but it is something.

Gasoline is one of the few products sold in the US where the advertised price includes the taxes, and I suspect that's because people would flip out if they realized how much of their fuel cost was taxes.

I think it's more the case that American cities are just not that great especially compared to European cities. The proposition for city life in the US is not that compelling unless you are taking about very few cities. So the average person moves to the suburbs and uses a car.

Of course our big cities are not great due to the automobile, but the average person can't do anything about that.
I wonder if you noticed the language which just shipped its first official version with:

* a typing system some call "gradual typing" (loosely similar to optional typing);

* a condition system;

* "grammars/actions" which are not only first class in the language but are self-applied in a bootstrapping fashion during parsing (which I'm thinking is equivalent in power to reader macros);

* CLOS inspired OO;

* a MOP;

* generic functions;

* multiple dispatch;

* multiple inheritance "done right".

I'm inclined to agree that it's an improvement over the status quo for people that didn't use passcodes from before.

I do trust Apple more than many other entities and as you say they don't have a database with fingerprints. Further the secure enclave is definitely a secure piece of engineering.

As evident by the linked article though the problem isn't Apple the problem is all the other databases that will have your fingerprints. As Troy says in the article

> The values within there can be quite detailed and I’ve no reason to think that this isn’t indeed legitimate print data uniquely and biologically identifying the owner. You don’t get to reset that stuff once it’s been released into the wild!

Once your fingerprints leak somehow there's no way to reset or change them. To me at least is seems like a really poor idea to use something with those properties as passwords.

I'm on the spectrum and don't feel any emotional disconnect unless my blood sugar drops (usually from forgetting to eat or sleep.) When that happens, it's like part of my brain just... goes to sleep. I'm still awake, but I have a really hard time producing or sensing any emotions. My loved ones tell me 'it's like talking to a robot and not [PhineasTCat].'

The weirdest part is I can physically feel that part of my brain isn't awake; it's like a weight in my head, pressing on my eyes. When I was little I called it 'the brain fuzzies.'

The early New York subway was a giant vacuum tube
Then why are there discussions on gentrification. There are reasons why individuals are moving back into the city, especially the up and coming class of individuals. The new comers to the city are fighting urban sprawl by making the move.
This is only a popularity contest among the known characters and their known interactions. For instance, Littlefinger started out seemingly as a small player but then we learn later he was actually a rather significant player in almost all aspects of what has been happening so far. Granted his obvious interactions are with rather important people but by appearances the number of interactions seem low while actually being quite large.

As for Tyrion; he has a high position in life, hangs out with a large number of similar characters, and even crosses an ocean to meet up with more of that group that the others have not met yet. Regardless, I would say he's not so significant to what's going on simply because most of the others don't listen to a thing he says, even though he's right most of the time, so he doesn't have as much impact on events as he should. Just because he's present at significant events doesn't make him significant. Although, I admit those reasons are why I find him one of the more interesting characters.

Seems fun but I don't see how it can answer the question without it just being about today's favorite. It cannot be fully answered until the end.

Just a reminder that trying to discuss these matters on HN is a bad idea as the moderators routinely bury any anti government sentiments and articles, ban accounts and IPs which are critical of the government and allow government sock puppets to control the conversation.

Then mods only defense is to say trust them and none of this is true, but ample evidence exists to the contrary.

American government is corrupt and HN Moderation policy is to abide and abet that corruption.
My code is full of map, filter, reduce/fold and similar generic reusable functions.

How do people deal with such things in Go? Do they really make copies of such functions for every type they're working with? (And by type I don't mean just int/string, but all model entities/classes.)
The Intel CPUs throttled to an absolute minimum state of power draw in order to keep itself from frying. Those chips also came with an integrated heatsink, like modern chips, that provides just enough heat dissipation to keep the CPU from frying itself before it can throttle down.

That video was made because AMD didn't incorporate such protective features back in that era. That's why their chip absolutely fries itself within moments of removing the heatsink. 100W through an area the size of a Tic-Tac (die area dedicated to cache uses almost no power) is a recipe for catastrophic failure if left unchecked.
Psychologists would reject any kind of test that doesn't come out as more or less normally distributed out of hand. A common complaint about oddball tests such as the Meyers-Briggs test or Hubbard's OCA is that they have not been validated to "behave well".

This may well be to due the fact that psychologists have been using parametric statistics instead of nonparametric statistics. In a lot of cases us nonparametric types have given up a little statistical power for "cheap and cheerful" methods that are harder to get wrong.

Psychs and medicals find it very expensive to treat thousands and thousands of patients correctly and carefully observe the results. This is why those Cochrane reviews for the case for almost any drug or other treatment are so depressing -- maybe they need all the statistical power they can get.
