Well that look like a lot of opportunities ;)

People when pressed and in survival mode, will bring out brightness and genius to overcome issues, given all the troubles it will be really slow process, but when someone will raise and do something good, pride will come out, sense of community will bring people together, and this will help the project be successful, maybe not facebook successful (but it could be, i believe times are still too young now), but enough to live and make a difference.

In America, and Europe, people have it easy, so it's also easy to start a company and do something, people don't really know what means hard work and fight for surviving, so in the end most of the startups seen as successful fail; while in other less fortunate countries (in Europe too) people have it hard, so when a company is able to survive it will be way stronger, and even if it don't make the same money of the failed american company, it is successful as the people working in it will be able to live, and make a difference for someone in need.

Anyway to stay on the original question: i don't know what have said the government, and i can't really say much about as i'm pretty ignorant about Kenya and Africa in general, and besides i've never been there.
But i know people, and i've seen in many occasions the brightness and will needed to succeed, those people simply didn't knew their capabilities and where still locked in the mindset of being nobody and so untitled to make a difference not only for themselves but for everyone.

I would like to continue this dialog ...
Do note that the phone designer still need to hook up the FM antenna to the combo chip. Space inside the phone is precious, and everything has a cost...
Check the low end of the dial. Most cities have one or more community/college radio stations, which tend to be the most experimental/well-curated/interesting sources of audio one can find.
Antennas capable of picking up 535KHz to 1700KHz are very different than those intended for 700Mhz to 2600Mhz and 2.4GHz to 5.8GHz that cell phone antennas are intended to use today.

Both FM and AM should require separate antennas in the phone, although maybe the one intended for cellular communications could be used for FM without failing to picture up anything at all. It would be surprising if someone could avoid a separate antenna for AM.

For dev results or? Because that's simply not true. Try finding things like knitting/wool shops in Shanghai on the Chinese Bing and on Google. You won't be getting any knitting done if you use Bing; all the hits you get there are closed many many years ago. There are many other examples from daily life which we encounter when in China; we're going there in a few weeks again and i'll jot down the differences then; there is an awful lot which you simply cannot find in Bing while it's in the top hits in Google. We might search for different things but 'hard to tell the difference' is really just weird to say.

I fully agree with your analysis of MISRA C.

The issue I have with it is that some people seem to be refusing using their brain when following rules. For exampe, MISRA static checkers compain if you do:

x = 250

So I've seen people do:

#define TWO_HUNDRED_FIFTY 250
x = TWO_HUNDRED_FIFTY

And it drives me insane that people see some rules but don't actually understand what they're for and just skirt around it in the stupidest way possible.
Someone's got to do it. Plus it's an amusing challenge and something about which the community is as unanimous as it gets.
In the face of praise like that I won't even hold the reddit URI against you.

Lumia phones use headphone wire, as almost all cheap feature-phones. I do not see a reason why an Android headset cannot do the same.
Totally not :) Just for reference, I'm not actually planning to build a safety-critical device with an ESP8266.

What piqued my curiosity was this project:

http://openaps.org

It's basically a homebrew controller implementation that uses data from a continuous blood glucose monitor to talk to an insulin pump. They're using Node and JavaScript from what I can tell from the GitHub. They're obviously conservative for safety concerns. The code runs on a Raspberry Pi 3.

This got me wondering - what language WOULD be used in 2016 to code something safety-critical? Is there anything coming from research that's better than C? My initial thoughts were something like Elixir, but really anything strongly type-checked and verifiable. Rust was another thought I had.

Looking at this my immediate thought was also "what's the tiniest micro that could do this job instead of the power-hungry Pi?".

I guess everything is C or assembler in the end anyway :) The impression I get from these responses is that a restricted subset of plain C seems to be the most practical solution today.

EDIT: I'm the OP if it isn't obvious, different account.
The not interested does not happen with us because we hire so rarely.

A lot of this depends on how you normally eat.

How much is fresh or thereabouts food, vs. stuff from cans, white rice, beans etc.? If too much of the former, and you don't have a list of stuff you normally use in backpacking trips, then you'll either have to try some ahead of time, or store it anyway assuming you'll be hungry enough if the emergency comes, which I've read can be a terrible mistake.

Ditto bugout bag contents in case you have to evacuate, as you note.

The stuff I store for emergencies right now is "purely" for them, but it's all stuff I like (white rice, indica and japonica, which my normal input of is limited, then there's
there is no MRE desert that isn't at least good, and most are very good to excellent, and, oh, even some of the Humanitarian Daily Ration entrées are just plain good even if a bit old: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humanitarian_daily_ration and you can occasionally find extras. Companies that pack this stuff for the government, especially MREs, will produce more in a lot than needed, to make sure their yield for the order is high enough, knowing they'll easily sell the extra to civilians, and civilian demand is I suspect getting high enough that they're now making more than a little extra).

Purely in scare quotes in that while they're still palatable, I'll buy fresher product and eat the older stuff so it won't go to waste. Ditto the Mountain House freeze dried stuff, it was easy enough to find a set that were at minimum "good", and if I haven't used them in some years I'll replace and eat the older items.

I also do things like maintain a minimum of a year of various specialized dry goods, like allergen free shampoo and soap, and replenish every April and October when the weather is moderate here in the US. This way if one of these products becomes unavailable (or in the case of one soap product, contaminated with perfume, at least two lots), or if there's an emergency, I'll have a minimum of six months to procure replacements, and in the latter case I won't have to be scurrying around with everyone else to find the necessities of life, and as we've both noted, can share with neighbors.
I came across the algorithm while going through the project.
One interesting feature of the technique is that it is possible to set the threshold less that total number of parts to recreate the secret and it is used by the software.
Yikes. When I read your first post, I just assumed this to have happened in some rural area in a less popular state or something, certainly not in silicon valley of all places. That hits a bit too close to home for comfort to say the least.
API SPEC 5B NON-UPSET (N.U.E) TUBING WORKING GAUGES
> The problem is that usually not very human readable C comes out of it

The x86 assembly or LLVM intermediate representation that comes out of most compiler is not very human readable, but I don't see anyone having any problem with it whatsoever. Readability of generated code was never the point of C using C as a back-end. The point is portability and tooling.

By the way /u/jjnoakes can suggest fancy languages and compilers, if only they can generate native code on obscure platforms (I guess, something other than x86 and ARM). Generating C code (even utterly unreadable C code) would solve his problem.
SoftBank uses CDMA and LTE. I assume that they use SIM cards for LTE.
Since you just finished insulting me, here's my story:

My petite SO made the mistake of parking in the wrong parking spot outside a verizon store next to Tenderloin and a homeless person chased her around our car trying to stab her with a screwdriver. In the middle of the afternoon on a weekday. And because it's sf, a couple guys saw what was happening and crossed the street to avoid getting involved, and the useless sf police took 8+ minutes to show up.

SF tolerates street trash acting up and acting out in ways real cities -- eg nyc -- simply don't.

I get off at the civic center bart station and coworkers are regularly worried about their safety.

I don't know what the solution is, but I don't care about them. It's fundamentally unreasonable to expect people to be unsafe walking around sf in the middle of the afternoon.

> the institutions were shut down by Regan

ugh, this old distortion.

You're probably referring to the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act which, while signed into law by Reagan, was actually co-authored by two Democratic state senators and a Republican assemblyman, following the advice given at the time by the medical establishment - and under pressure from the public - that protections were needed to prevent the inappropriate over-commitment of people into asylums.

The result was an "overreaction," and more patients were released than should have been - again, under the advice of medical professionals. [1]

However, before this, people were sent to asylums - indefinitely - for reasons that today would seem barbaric. Alcoholics, the mentally retarded, people with anxiety disorders, or simply troublemakers whose families didn't want to deal with them anymore - locked up in asylums and the key thrown away before this legislation was passed.

We might be suffering for a lack of mental health services, but over-committing people into asylums seems like the greater evil.

The narrative that Reagan got into office and one day decided to boot everyone out onto the street for no good reason is just wrong.

The Vicious Cost of Feature Creep
Probably not; the point is that you use the regular treatment and, if you have some 'alternative way' you think that will help you, you just add it to it. I would never suggest to try only the 'alternative way'. The fact that I was doing something 'myself' (eating no sugar in my case which I continued after remission) made me feel better and more positive. If it helped I will never know but I felt better for it so who cares.
What's wrong with frameworks?
Even professional translators have a hard time translating real time. To pick a random example,

"There's Jim's dog. Look, he's so happy to see me."
"Actually, it's she."

Try translating that into a language without grammatical gender: you could either spend thirty seconds explaining that English speakers have this weird habit of using different words for dogs based on their sex, or you're in for some serious improvization.

Or even better,

"There's Jim's brother."

Korean has a word for "elder brother", another for "younger sibling (of either sex)", but not a generic singular "brother of unspecified relative age". Good luck!
My heart just aches for the poor woman who had to inject her husband.. I can't even begin to imagine having to do this with my partner.

Simple, make the hell of residency go away, and allow more foreign doctors to come in to US and practice after going through a reasonable residency program.

Also, doctors who specialise in hearing loss (given the volume we pump into our ears to block out the noise in open plan offices), as well as pharmaceutical companies making any drugs that deal with increases in stress (another fun side-effect of open plan nonsense).

Don't they traffic shape and have much lower speeds, though? If everybody in a building used mobile data at the full speed, where would the telcos put the base stations? And since the frequency spectrum is shared, how many handsets can a 3G or 4G base station even accommodate at once at a full speed?

Unlimited data with tethering is a recipe for disaster; capped data plans usually do have tethering.
As of the iPhone 5-ish the three major carriers (SoftBank, au, docomo) have all had the iPhone. They are uniformly terrible (onerous contract terms, expensive, low data caps, etc). Their greed has fueled an explosion of free wifi spots, and a resurgence of smaller carriers now that people are getting wise to their BS.
FYI, we discussed this over on Reddit too: https://www.reddit.com/r/BasicIncome/comments/4jglyc/why_the...

I've also written about this fear before myself, and I suggest everyone look at Social Security and the Alaska Dividend for evidence. Do these programs make for more compliant citizens? No, the opposite is true.

Basic income has no conditions, and because everyone gets it, it will quickly be seen as a right of citizenship. Good luck as a politician touching that third rail. I'm sure seniors would have no problem whatsoever being told what they can or can't buy with their SS checks.
> For example, let's say your language has behavior similar to scheme's tail-call. How would you get this behavior from a C compiler?

Well, there's still the unreasonable way: compile in continuation passing style, and trampoline every call. I shall not be held responsible for any performance problem this advice may cause however…
That's not the proof you think it is (even if it does have the words "murder" and "search history" in it). If this is the best supporting evidence you could find, then I'm right, OP doesn't need to worry and can relax.

As long as he doesn't plan a murder several times, tell multiple people about it, solicit people to commit it for him, lie to the police when questioned, and leave multiple pieces of physical evidence he'll be just fine. The search history is one small piece of a large pile of evidence and was not the thing that tipped the scale. Were it not present, the outcome would likely have been the same.

Seriously, relax. You're over thinking it.

It's early days, but the cutting edge stuff works for some limited value of "works". It's just about usable for casual conversations. But that's not the point I was making; what I'm saying is simply that the likelihood of getting working real-time translation on a computer is considerably higher than getting everyone to agree on a universal single language.

I can see computer-based real-time translation getting to the point where it's putting translators out of jobs in the next few decades. I can't ever imagine humanity transitioning to a single language, or even a limited scope single language for business. It just won't happen.
the Magic Talisman Of Protection mindset is indeed a problem, and when it comes to pepper spray sounds like a bad idea.

But if we move to the domain of guns, I'm AMAZED at how well and responsibly many many people in the US with little or no training use them in self-defense, which I attribute at least in part to centuries of ergonomic improvements, which for me and handguns reached their apotheosis in 1911.

Even if such an attitude and approach is appalling to someone who's father started taking him hunting with him when he was 3 (ditto all my siblings), started shooting a BB at 7, (safe) dove hunting at 11 (ditto my brothers), high school JROTC rifle team 16-18, etc. etc. etc., and never advise this, I can't argue with the empirical results, and the relatively low number of bad outcomes, all most all of which are due to misunderstanding the law and morals those are based on rather than bad gun handling.

Aha, I was mistaken, it came with a separate antenna, after all. Still cool, though. Or perhaps it could use headphones, like the FM radio? Most of the info is in Portuguese so I'm not sure.

Ed: Here's an example of it being used. There's a little antenna plugged in the headphone port. Pretty neat trick.

I think you need two books - one on budgeting, and one on investing.

I cant recommend a budgeting one but would recommend bogleheads, as suggested by liamcardenas. Another book worth reading, although heavier is the Intelligent Investor. I read the annotated version and its similar advice to bogleheads. If you really get into investing read Warren Buffetts shareholder letters
CS fundamentals is a filter for "recent graduate". It's a way to sneak ageism past HR, that's all.
It's really dangerous to make generalizations like that. Some homeless people are societal dropouts, drug addicts, mentally disabled, etc. Some are people who are trying their best to make ends meet but just can't.

I used to know an older fellow who lived out of a van half-full of tools, and did odd jobs where he could. I saw him around my favorite coffee shop; I think he got free coffee in exchange for fixing stuff sometimes. There was an article on HN not too long ago about a guy who went from an nice house and a swanky tech job to homeless and living out of his car in less than a year; he managed to crawl back out by doing freelance work on his laptop, but things were pretty awful for him for a while.

It's way too easy to say that homeless people are all beyond help, and therefore we can ignore them and leave them to rot with a clear conscience. But it's not true. And even for the people you mentioned--die-hard "lifestyle" homeless may be out of reach, but public assistance programs can sometimes give the addicts and the crazies a hand up, or (better) prevent them from ever becoming homeless in the first place.

Blame has to stop somewhere. By that logic, why stop at Tesla? Perhaps we should blame Tesla's individual investors? Or all the consumers who placed a deposit down for a Model 3? Or the City of Freemont? Or the Californian government? Or the US government?
As the above poster mentioned, skepticism is fine, but I think you need to be careful not to fall prey to turing speculation into evidence, and also considering all possible scenarios/outcomes instead of just those that point towards your conclusion.

What I mean by the second part is when you come up with a reason to question a claim, that doesn't automatically weaken or invalidate the claim. Your first contention is basically "how can it be racism from just a craigslist posting?", that is, how did the assailants know he was black? Well, it's possible the assailants became more aggressive at the time of the meeting, after seeing the seller was black. Or perhaps the seller included a name more common with people of color. This is not suggesting that either absolutely is the case, but they are both likely and not uncommon scenarios in the present day. If you're going to begin speculation in this manner, it is only fair and reasonable to consider how your conclusion might also be falsified, considering alternate and equally plausible scenarios.

Or in the case of the cuffs, for which your comment seems to rely more on a rather dismissive statement of ignorance - cuffs certainly can and do cut and tear into skin when not used properly. Just do a quick image search for "injuries from handcuffs" (warning, some images on this search are nsfw and unpleasant) and it's plain enough to see multiple examples of damage from handcuffs, whether it be bruises or lacerations - it's fairly hard metal tightened hard around a fragile point on the human body. It's not hard to imagine how that could do damage or how bad the damage could be when used improperly (Intentionally or not). Yes, it is important to get this verified (a picture from the author would do nicely), but the basis of your skepticism is not really set in reality, but seemingly in raw skepticism.

The point I'm trying to make is that it is good to withhold judgement, but the attitude and the questions you raise really aren't sound, and instead appear almost vindictive.

Be skeptical, but part of that requires being a bit dispassionate and openly considering reasonable possibilities. It does not mean building up speculation as the foundation for a conclusion. It is possible this is a hoax, as you say. But to suggest it "screams" hoax is inaccurate.
