That's a problem for me. Charge and prosecute them or let them go. Indefinite detention without a fair and speedy trial is unquestionably unconstitutional.

Maybe you can explain it to them this way - if they know what a function is. If you have a function that does something, foo, and it takes one boolean parameter, that's two test cases. If you add a second boolean parameter, now you have at least four total test cases. And so on.
Pixlee | San Francisco, CA | Full Time | ONSITE

Pixlee is revolutionizing the relationship between people and brands. We help companies leverage customer photos/videos from social media to improve marketing.

We work with over 100+ customers, including top brands such as Converse, Kenneth Cole, UGG Australia, Mattel, Charlotte Russe, Marriott Hotels, and AMC Theatres, to drive higher online conversion, increase performance of owned media, and create a more authentic brand experience. A graduate of the Stanford StartX accelerator, Pixlee is an Andreessen Horowitz and XSeed Capital portfolio company. As a rapidly growing startup, we are constantly looking for talented people to join the Pixlee team and to help us revolutionize the intersection of big data and social media. At Pixlee we work hard, love to learn, and value teamwork and humility. We’ve got a big vision and we’re looking for game changers to join our team.

We look for talented, high-potential individuals who aren’t jerks. Our proposition to them is simple: Pixlee offers a unique opportunity to thrive and grow rapidly in a small-team startup environment operating at big-company scale. Our customers are some of the largest brands in the world and everything you do here affects millions of consumers.

We believe in using the right technology for the task, and we use a mix of rails, backbone, python, scala, elasticsearch, and postgres.

For me, I've really felt that I've been able to really grow very rapidly, and also been given the autonomy to make many decisions you can't make at a much larger startup. Its a very tight knit group, and we like to have fun.

And loopt, brightkite, whrrl (spelling?) and probably more. And that was just within the "check into a place" category. There were also other categories like checking-in to what you're watching on tv (GetGlue), checking-in to what you're eating (Foodspotting), checking in to what you're drinking (Untappd).

Some of these are still around but most are not. Not sure if the ride-sharing space will turn out the same or not. I feel at least Uber and Lyft are probably safe.
The math seems fishy here. Let's assume your young woman's base metabolism (without any extra exercise) is ~1500 calories a day. Running 5 miles a day burns 500 calories putting her at 2000 total. For her to maintain 2000/day while running 15 miles a day, her base metabolism would've had to drop 66% down to 500 calories a day. I simply don't believe that. Your metabolism might drop a few percentage points per year, but the drops will eventually tail off as your metabolism reaches its lower limits. You can't just linearly extrapolate the drop down to zero, as your examples imply.

Thank you for the explanation. Aside from saying once that he was not bothered by this state of things, I took the poster to be mainly explaining the consequences of the law (don't act as if your fingerprint is as secure as your password) rather than specifically endorsing it.
This, and other comments to the effect of purposely messing up your fingerprint to force PIN/password entry, are all technically effective. However, if you perform any of these actions after an encounter with law enforcement or the legal system has already started, it strikes me that your actions could be interpreted as destruction of evidence. IANAL, though.

Even using a PIN over a fingerprint is enough to piss off the FBI by making it more difficult to get in. If you're unlocking your iDevice with Touch ID only, you should consider your device insecure against even undetermined law enforcement.

Your article is from Q1/2015. Since then the energy sector has imploded in a catastrophic manner. Pretty amusing to think it is driving the US economy (directly) right now. It is by far causing the biggest loss in jobs and profits. Look at the market cap by sectors right now.

Similar story - a member of my group went through security at LAX with no problems, but was stopped at Heathrow because of something suspicious in her handbag. We emptied everything out of the bag, re-scanned it, and the object was still detected.

After feeling around in the bag we discovered some fabric cutting shears had apparently been accidentally been sewn into the lining by someone on the factory line (they looked something like this if I remember correctly: http://imgur.com/ZKlsjJw).

We just cut them out, handed them over and went on our way. Was a really strange experience though.
Well imagine a criminal is holding a piece of your property or even a person and not revealing where that is. Do you think it's reasonable to hold them for 30 days and then let them go and say "ah well I guess you can return that/them if you want cuz you did your time."

A charge of contempt is still a charge.

> costs $1500 and about 6 months to process the paperwork that lets her stay

Really not cool. Probably justify it by saying it takes a lot of time to process paperwork (that they created the requirement for in the first place...)

Did you know that it also now costs $2350 for someone to renounce their US citizenship?

It also takes an undefined amount of time (typically 12+ months) and they publish your name online on a State Department shame list of ex-Americans.

A decade ago, it was free to renounce your US citizenship. Around 2009 they started charging $450, and then suddenly raised the fee to $2350 in 2014.
No, you own and use guns for the purpose of killing people. If that's what floats your boat, then I can't change your mind (and it'd probably be wise for me not to -- after all, you're the sort of person who shoots people!).
Totally off-topic, but I'm from the Wilmington area originally (Holden Beach, down in Brunswick County) and went to UNC-W. Never really expected to see other Wilmington area folks show up here! Anyway, sounds like we have some interests in common and might be able to team up on something at some point. I'll shoot you an email.

I had actually read about it last year. In the study, they used continuous glucose monitoring rather than glucose meter to track the blood sugar response to different foods precisely. They found that different people had different blood glucose response to different foods. The study only tracked participants for 1-2 weeks, but they do speculate on using personalized interventions devised from glucose measurements to treat and prevent such conditions as obesity and prediabetes. I decided to try it for myself.

Ask HN: WCGW? Create anon+public work and prove to some that you are the creator?
Assume someone wants to anonymously create a publicly visible work or spectacle, but also retain the ability to later prove to a chosen audience that they are the actual creator and not an imposter.

Consider an artist like Banksy, who may want to remain anonymous while gaining notoriety, but would later want to prove to specific people that he or she was the actual creator, perhaps a buyer who wants to be sure that they are getting an original work from the actual artist and not from a copycat.

A good way to do this could be to tag the anon+public work of art with a public key, then for your chosen recipients, produce proof that you have the private key. It seems that these days, an easy Public/Private key pair to use would be a Bitcoin address, at least for transactions (the keys are a cumbersome).

So, tag the original anon+public work with your special-purpose BTC address. Then, when you want to prove to a particular person that you are the creator of that work, send them a small amount of Bitcoin from your special-purpose public BTC address.

What Could Go Wrong? What are the holes in this scheme (e.g., a weak vanity BTC address)? Is there a good source of less cumbersome public/private key pairs for similar transactions? What could be better?
The evidence that they are using a complex "language" is definitely weak. For example, how does it prove that they aren't simply saying, "Hey, hey!" to each other like the Far Side cartoon[0]? I would have preferred more interpretation of the different noises the dolphins make over the fact that they are making them in the first place.

Drivel like this is why I refuse to pay for WSJ.
I came to post a similar comment. I wouldn't demand the original article title be changed, but I think the HN link title should be changed because it's very misleading.
What a click and bait example.

The author "never tried crack cocaine" and "probably never will", "crack cocaine" stands for a very shallow analogy of "addiction".

I guess "I'm addicted to learning" or "Learning can be as addictive as crack cocaine" it doesn't quite grabs people attention.
> Courts are not (and should not be) interested in "the law as it should be." They are to interpret the law as it is written.

I agree, but then neither are we the courts; and it is precisely the role of the commons to discuss the law as it should be, so that the legislative branch can, hopefully, enshrine that communal wisdom in the law as it is.

An inflated market can be called a bubble, it just depends on how inflated it is and how people interpret that. Just because something is a bubble doesn't mean it's destined to burst. What we're seeing now could be considered a cool-down that would prevent a burst. There's nothing overly negative calling something a bubble when it does appear to be a bubble.
