That's true. You're right.

Couldn't there be cases where we don't have a known tight asymptotic bound but do have an upper and/or lower bound? And although it's an abuse of notation, you do often see big-O used in place of Theta. From CLRS:

"In the literature, we sometimes find O-notation informally describing asymptotically tight bounds, that is, what we have defined using Theta-notation."

Even in places that have decriminalization, prostitution is still something that is associated with desperation, coercion, and crime. You can blame religious movements until you're red in the face, but the research is there that shows that prostitution is strongly associated with mental health issues [1][2]. It's unsurprising when you're working day in and day out with people who think that they can literally buy your body and emotions.

Taking a look at any "prostitute review" site will show you what the men who purchase sex actually think of prostitutes -- feel free to imagine what having sex with these people day in and day out would be like.

Decriminalisation usually means that some criminal penalties are removed, but an activity is still not "legal". Fines may still apply, and decriminalisation is usually partial (i.e. possession of drugs may be decriminalised, though you can still be fined, but dealing may still be fully criminalised).

Legalisation means going the whole hog - removing all fines and criminal penalties. This usually also means bringing an activity in the mainstream by, for example, taxing it like any other activity, or making it subject to workplace safety regulation. This is what New Zealand did with prostitution.

Wikipedia explains this reasonably well:

> How is prostitution any different than selling our bodies to work in a factory, or construction, or retail, or ....

This sounds true if you have a choice of jobs. But with "regular" jobs, we accept that someone can be forced by circumstances to take such a job, even if it isn't the greatest job in the world.

Suppose a friend of mine is unemployed and complaining about money problems, I can imagine myself saying "So why don't you just take the job of a dishwasher until things get better?"

But I can't really imagine myself saying "So why don't you just sell your body until things get better?"

I have experience with a bunch of 'higher level' languages (Erlang, Elixir, Ruby, JS, PHP, Clojure) but haven't used C or Java in any non-trivial way. What's the best way to learn C++ in a pragmatic way today?

I'm looking for something hands on (either a book or online).

I particularly like Pragprog's approach to learning, but can only find one book 'Modern C++ Programming with Test-Driven Development' - this seems more about TDD than C++ though.

What Houston lacks in zoning laws, it makes up for with many, if not most, neighborhoods being "deed restricted" communities. For residents, this is effectively the same as zoning. From the city website (http://www.houstontx.gov/legal/deed.html):

"Restrictions mean limitations that:

-Affect the use to which real property may be put;

-Fix the distance that a structure must be set back from property lines, street lines, or lot lines;

-Affect the size of a lot or the size, type and number of structures that may be built on the lot;

-Regulate orientation of a structure; or

-Regulate certain fences requiring a building permit."
IMO, if they consider that too complex to handle, then application security is too complex for them to be working on too. I wouldn't want a developer who doesn't even know how to handle pipes, to go anywhere NEAR apps needing secure implementations.

Good eye, I missed that.
One thing I did not see mentioned in the article, and which seems to never make it into most articles about the risks (or hypothetical benefits) of radiation exposure, is the massive amount of information we have about the effects of radiation from radiation oncology. Six times as many people as were exposed at Hiroshima are irradiated on purpose in the USA alone every year. And the radiation is actually measured and planned. So Hiroshima is so far from our largest or best data set it is funny. I don't have numbers, but I'm willing to bet that more patients have had radiation treatment for non-cancerous diseases than exist in the Hiroshima cohort.

Epidemiology isn't one of my specialties, but radon and radiation measurement actually are. I'm skeptical about the radon baths, simply because that is NOT a low level of radon, in the sense of a statistically uncertain long-term hazard level. A typical radon bath is in the thousands of pCi/L, which is about a thousand times higher than the level at which mitigation would be required for health reasons for a dwelling. However, the amount of time spent there is low. So, it is like having a non-smoker smoke a thousand cigarettes all at once, instead of over the course of a year. Might that kick-start something in their body? Certainly, but it does not fall under the normal hormesis rubric. And alpha particle damage tends to be high and localized.

Paracelsus said the dose makes the poison, which is true. But in addition, time makes the dose. I have no problem drinking 100 liters of water over a few months, but that would be a fatal dose in an hour. More attention needs to be paid to the time component of radiation dosing and threshold effects.
Put a database behind it with complicated enough requests, and you'll run out of connections to the db regardless if you have async io. You'll have to add a connection pooler or multiple master/slave dbs - and even then you will run into problems with enough traffic.

"Happy" and economically well-off patrons will disagree with your assessment.
The forces that support the broken and easily abusable H1B system are the same forces that support illegal immigration: the large, entrenched business and banking interests who want to keep wages low (and thus keep their profits high). These forces spend a lot of money lobbying the government to do nothing to curtail illegal immigration, fix the visa system, or punish the abusers.

I'm not sure if you're expecting to get a reply that encapsulates all of HN's users position on this, but probably the reason that you see more H1B talk here is because this site caters to people in the tech industry - affected by H1B's more than the industries that are more affected by illegal immigrants from Mexico.

About 40% of the prostitutes in the UK are male. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/men/thinking-man/11169544/Are-we-...

I agree the clients are almost entirely men.

Lots of sex-worker organisations have criticised the Nordic model as something that increases the risk to sex workers. Restricting the client base to men who are willing to break the law means you've biased the client group towards men who are more likely to be violent. https://newrepublic.com/article/121981/northern-ireland-sex-...

There's a difference between selling your labor and selling yourself.

It's a business that fundamentally thrives on exploiting the weak. Similar industries that ride the edge like porn and strip joints aren't exactly empowering of women, and attract a seedy element from a business owner (and patron) point of view.
You have this the wrong way round. Legalisation _does_ involve bringing something into the same set of regulations that applies to everything else, and that's a good thing. However, when we speak of "decriminalising" something, we usually mean removing criminal penalties for something that can still be against the law, and can still result in fines and other penalties. This means that the industry remains underground, which is usually worse for all involved. See the links I gave upthread for citations and the NZ context.
Also Ubuntu, they started a great thing for making Linux on desktop friendlier, then completely discarded the opportunity of Windows 8 being a shitshow and jumped on the mobile/tablet bandwagon.

One of the interesting things I've done over the years is look at earthquakes and analyzed different preparedness strategies. Top three learnings, post earthquake living is just like camping so keeping current on camping skills and gear means you are ready to camp out on you lawn; medically trained people are easier to find than supplies put a laceration kit in your go bag, if you need it finding a nurse or doctor is easier than finding supplies; water filtration is easier than water storage, keep infrastructure that can hold water but it doesn't have to be full. That said having your cold water supply go through a 50 gallon tank means it is constantly replaced and when you shut off the water you still have 50 gallons to work with.

In my car my bag has a laceration kit, water purifier straw and, hydration bladder. Also comfortable shoes for hiking and a hat. I can walk from anywhere in the Bay Area home in 2 days so that is the prep window.

> It seems logical to me that something in which is part of, the environment a species evolved to, would tend to have positive effects.

Not to me. Now, "tend not to have a negative effect on reproduction", sure.

But there's no reason evolution should make it beneficial, nor even neutral to those past breeding years.

For instance, if radiation caused humans to die younger than otherwise due to cancer, but still to live long enough to crank out a litter of babies and raise them to adulthood.... then evolution probably wouldn't care. Hell, evolution would love the way it gets rid of the chaff and frees up resources for the breeders.

I think people are just not using the terms in the precise and somewhat pedantic way we're doing here. :) I think New Zealanders are pretty familiar with the legal situation here, so making the distinction clear at all times is just less important.
The etymology here is actually really interesting. The term "tank" was an Americanism for a swimming pool once upon a time, and the etymology of that is pretty well-known: it was imported from a Portuguese word meaning "pond" which ultimately came from India [1]. The same source quotes a 1960s usage of the term for "failure" in the sport of Tennis.

The term actually seems to come from a 1920s boxing euphemism [2]: when a boxer is not actually knocked out but voluntarily lays down on the ground, it was called "a dive" for obvious reasons; euphemistically some people called this "going into the tank," since you'd dive into a pool.

How did this start referring to the vehicle? Again, back to [1], there was once a memo "recommending the proposed "caterpillar machine-gun destroyer" machines be entrusted to an organization "which, for secrecy, shall be called the 'Tank Supply Committee,' ..." and the rest is history.

IMO, one of the underlying problems is that prostituion is seen as a "last resort". If we had better systems in place for people who don't have many skills, they wouldn't need to turn to prostitution. Then, prostitution could be done by people who want to do it. Believe it or not, there are people who actually enjoy that type of job.

I've lived on dirt roads. At this point you only really find them in very rural areas because of their disadvantages.

1) Dirt roads can become almost impassable in bad weather. Everything turns to mud so it's very easy to get stuck or damage your car

2) Dirt roads require a fair amount of maintenance under moderate use. Roads can wash out, have too many rocks, can become lopsided or have gauges in them from car traffic.

3) Its way to damage your car. If you go too fast you can easily blow your oil pan. Dust of course gets into everywhere including the engine.

4) Low speeds. Your max speed is around 20-40 mph in good weather depending on the curves. Bad weather you can easily be going 5 mph. When getting to the town center takes an hour takes an hour, it becomes beneficial to leave roads just because of the increased store traffic.

5) Your vehicle gets incredibly dirty. Those wash me memes are clean in comparison

Some clarification: under legalisation, sex work is controlled by the government and is legal only under certain state-specified conditions. Decriminalisation involves the removal of all prostitution-specific laws, although sex workers and sex work businesses must still operate within the laws of the land, as must any businesses.
Does anybody know the total size of the repository?
Most of the time, you will need a tiny bit of non-standard stuff in your compiler to do so.

For example, I don't think there is a portable way to let your compiler use Pascal calling conventions, or to pass information in specific registers or in processor flags.

As an extreme example, in classic Mac OS, you could register a function to be called for line breaking in text input boxes that had the ABI "Parameters are passed to the routine in registers A3, A4, and D0, and output is returned in the Z flag of the Status Register." (https://developer.apple.com/legacy/library/documentation/mac..., page 2-31 gives several other special-cased ABI's in Mac OS)

Browsing that, I also encountered "The routine follows the C calling conventions employed by the THINK C software development environment. Arguments are passed on the stack from right to left, and a result is returned in register D0."

(Aside: that compiler must have treated vararg functions differently)

So, apparently, one cannot even count on C compilers to push arguments from left to right. So, if your ABI says "push X first, then y", I don't think you can portably call that function from C.
Why? It may be harmful, but we've evolved to cope tolerably.
