In short we developed larger brains than our ancestors (which meant larger heads for infants) at the same time that we also developed an upright walking posture (which narrows the birth canal). Additionally, we also have some adaptations (pointed out in the source below) that decrease mortality, but human mortality in child-birth is still much higher than other mammals.

Closing the connection would cause the client to believe that the file has been fully downloaded - resulting in a truncated file. Not good.

Actually, it's (normally) two strings, one for the program image filename and one for the command tail.

A single command tail is the Win32 model at base, as it was the DOS API model before it. (The OS/2 model was multiple command tails, although in practice most programs read no more than just one.) exec*() implementations are layered on top of this, and the argv[] notion is a shared fiction maintained by the runtime libraries of C and C++ implementations.

I would suggest you find out a little bit more about the BoE. It's not an investment or retail bank, it's a central bank which is more about influencing economic policy and other banking policy than pushing money around. Interestingly the UK government decoupled the bank from direct control in 1998, which greatly reduced the risk of wild interest rate fluctuations driven by political motivations, which had caused a lot of pain in the previous decades.

> I would not mind that the Internet be classified as a utility. Regardless of if it is or not, a co-ordinated effort should be made to bring high speed broadband access to all, including rural areas.

I mean, legally, they are public utilities. From my limited understanding, the utility companies MUST provide for either everyone in an area or no one, for example, amongst other regulations. This is not true for internet access, not in most places.

> Excuse my ignorance, but how does network neutrality stand in the way of commoditizing the Internet?

If people are able to "pay" for better, faster internet access, how can we regulate it as a public utility for everyone? One might argue that it seems "unfair" (for certain definitions).

This is related to internet billing: Do we bill the downloader? The uploader? How do we measure it? How do we verify the measurement? What if someone MITM injects packets?

Are program meant to tell the computer what to do? (Knuth)

Or are computers meant to execute our programs? (CISP)

Personally I lean towards the second view, for a simple reason: we design programs much more often than we design computers. Computer design doesn't take much of humanity's time, compared to programming them. So I'd rather have the hardware (and compiler suite) bend over backwards to execute our pretty programs efficiently, than having our programs bend over backwards to exploit our hardware efficiently.
What does the term 'Muslim person' even mean? Is every other white politician Christian politician? Is it religion, name, background?

I believe there are around 50 - 60 000 EVs in Norway and 6000 public charging stations. The EU is mandating that Norway needs to build 25 000 charging stations by 2020.

Shortage of charging points is becoming a problem as the number of electric cars is growing much faster than the building of charging stations. So while there is good geographic coverage the problem is that so many need to charge at the same time.

Whenever I pass charging stations down town they always seem to be occupied by somebody.

I don't think we can "objectively decide which story reflects the truth about the human brain", particularly not if focusing on episodes >150 years ago where historians don't even widely agree on exactly what happened, and particularly not for any theory that "statistics is the language of the human brain" that is any more nuanced than the trivially-falsified "human thought processes invariably follow the hypothetico-deductive method and are not subject to confirmation bias, attaching significance to spurious correlations or poor selection of Bayesian priors"

But if this was a problem I was particularly motivated to study, the most satisfactory method of reaching a conclusion would be to use statistical analysis to draw conclusions about which hypotheses human thought patterns appeared to be most compatible with (from my experiments and meta-analysis of others'). I don't claim to know whether this is a refinement of my innate human tendency to be impressed by statistical support for a proposition or an unusual level of abstraction I've learned to reason at after spending too much time in an undergrad classroom.

Just like gasoline cars then. Gasoline cars use just as much electricity as EVs, as refining of oil to gasoline requires substantial amount of electricity.

With all the extra energy needs of gasoline cars for tankers, building and maintenance of gas stations, I think the world would need a lot less electricity production if everybody went electric rather than ICE.

Not really, the host is already trusted (as explained in the parent comment). The domain owner is free to obtain a different certificate with a new private key that only they know if they wish. When you choose to use shared hosting you are already delegating plenty of trust so it's reasonable to use the host's private key.

I've heard teachers say "Well I suffered through it, so you can too."

I'd like to see empirical studies to see if it actually makes for better performance as students, or if it's useless. I'm guessing the demagogues would never let 'no homework' happen, at least in this country.

He had already got 300+ up-votes the first time around and was the clear runoff "winner", so they added a low-key second poll hoping that some of the later entrants could cut it down to size. People got wind of this blatant rule-bending and gave Pinboard twice the votes he got the first time. So Kevin reluctantly called Maciej, didn't like the sound of his voice, and decided to cut him out regardless, vaguely implying that the voting process had been somehow compromised by a tweet.
Not all parts of a deployment can be automated in every case.

I've helped craft a checklist we use on our releases based on lessons learned over several years, an awful lot of it is about communication to end users / other teams. Especially if the release is one that involves downtime it's important to have consistent practices and clarity about who is going communicate what and when. Checklists are a good way to capture the "what could have gone better" outputs of retrospectives.

Yep, commenters here don't understand the cultural and legislative backgrounds of Japanese driving. However, that is not the issue here.

For some commenters the article (or its headline) serves the sole purpose of self-adulation: Keeping your bias working. Adding 'stats' to back your argument. Something to numb other peoples criticism in a discussion.

In that sense, any subleties of Japanese culture would actually hurt.

I doubt the underlying economics will ever deliver a rental jet at an all-in cost under $4/mi. My piston single-engine airplane (wildly cheaper than a turbine to purchase, maintain, and operate) runs over $1/mi.

When I poke around Google flights at my common trips, it's hard to estimate tightly the cost of a first class ticket, but it seems around $1/mi for most of my routes (some Carribean routes are much cheaper than that). There's no way to operate a jet for that amount. Even if you take a family of four (where the personal airplane cost doesn't go up much, but the first class tickets obviously do), you can't quite cover even the variable costs of the Cirrus SF50 (the cheapest variable cost jet). That doesn't leave anything for maintenance, positioning flights (which require crew), capital costs, insurance, hangaring while not rented, training, or profit for the rental outfit.

I'd love to be proven wrong, because I'm absolutely in the target market for even a $2/mi all-in rental jet (and already have the pilot quals/hours to qualify, except for the type-specific type-rating). I doubt it can be done for under $8/mi to the end user.

That surely depends on whether the startups that fall through the cracks of the existing system caught by ApplyHN prove to be, on average, [close to] as successful as the ones picked up by the existing system and thus deserving of being caught. The cracks could be a feature rather than a bug.

Obviously you need more than two startups to make this sort of deduction, and I'm perfectly willing to believe that these and other startups missed by the traditional application process genuinely are more promising than some of those selected by it, but I'm not sure that what we have at the moment is really evidence either way.

Racism and xenophobia isn't all about scapegoating. There is a number of nations with very low level of foreign ethnics who would like to keep it that way.
