For moon, it's no wonder there's so much similarity - they heydey of space travel was he '80s, so Moon goes for a deliberately '70s and '80s vibe. You see this again in The Martian, where somehow by coincidence his only entertainment is Disco and Zork.

There were also people who voted for Hitler because they were racist. But maybe there were voters who did not really hate the jews. Perhaps they only wanted to seize their property. It's important to make the distinction.
I have also avoided giving Facebook my phone number, so I was surprised one day when they correctly guessed it, only asking me to confirm. I realized later that this was likely due to friends uploading their address book, in which case Facebook only has to match names between friends.

In Nitin’s case, maybe one of his Facebook friends knows Nitin Jaisw and has him in their address book, but with only the first name. They might not have Nitin Reddy in there at all.
Google, Facebook, and especially Twitter are used by terrorist organisations for recruitment and propaganda. These videos brainwash young people into hatred of the west, incite them to leave their countries to go join a war that is not theirs, polarize, and are directly responsible for suicide attacks.

Sure, information wants to be free, and all that cyberpunk jazz. At what cost? Apparently at the cost of innocent lives. These companies are directly responsible for giving these terrorists a platform. The free speech-apologists are indirectly responsible for fostering fertile ground for these terrorists.

Yes... blocking this information will also block innocent information. But I rather see that, than see more innocent lives lost. I say: chase them underground. This makes more clear the difference between a real jihadist with bad intentions, and a pious person slowly being brainwashed, because their feeds show nothing but dead children being pulled from rubble, Anwar al-Awlaki propaganda, and anti-Semitic hoaxes.
Apple Rumor Roundup: Jackless iPhone 7 and a 5K Monitor?
Well, you just need to call unicode_next_character all the time instead of saying s++, similarly for whitespace, similarly for asking whether a character can initiate or continue an identifier, etc. It does not change the basic nature of the task at all.
From reading that, the only criticism that seems sane and fair is that they should have chosen a different string to "trending"; "recommended" perhaps, or "curated". My expectations that i'm going to receive a much-needed education in some topic from occasionally clicking on the "trending" link on facebook aren't especially high; perhaps yours are a little misplaced if present?

Also, I note that that article states that other "curators" denied such a bias exists. Facebook have denied such activities. Ok, being sceptical, they would say that. But it could be bullshit spewed by an ex-exmployee So, where's the study? The data? How do we show whether or not there is a bias, assuming you care enough to investigate? It's just more conspiracy theories and "typing" isn't it.
In the US a lot of us grew up with the idea that when something really bad was happening you would dial 911 and people would appear very soon to help you.

I don't know whether this myth was ever true, but it certainly is not true today.

I have called 911 or its equivalent more than a dozen times on three continents. No magic helping people appear within five minutes. Or ten. Usually not twenty either. Sometimes not at all, even when they say they will come.

We pay fees for E911 service which includes location of cellular phones. But if you call 911 in Manhattan and tell them you are on 4th Street they will ask you if it's East or West 4th. They will even ask you this if you say you're on 3rd Avenue--an absurd question for a local resident but not for 911 dispatchers who are not locals and do not know local vernacular much less geography.

A few days ago the car I was in was robbed while we were driving in Chicago. I immediately called 911. They said they'd send someone so I told them where to find the driver. They called me back 20 minutes later and said they were not coming and that such a crime could be reported by phone only. The driver's phone had been stolen.

A fire alarm went off in a commercial building. I called 911. They didn't show up. Forty minutes later I called again. They sent the FD to my house. Not the fire.

911 is broken. Be prepared to take care of yourself.

OpenDoc used 'part'. IIRC, all parts had a presence in the GUI, though.

This, I think is just a library or archive (in the ar/ranlib sense; https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/binutils/ar.html#ar) of code that the browser loads over the Internet.

Java hit a jackpot calling such a thing a jar, a word that is both shorthand for "Java archive" and a noun describing a container. That suggests looking at words such as 'bottle', 'box', 'cask', 'pot' (nice word, but its connotations do not make it a winner), 'cup', 'amphora', 'pithos' (not well-known enough, and typically unmovable), 'crate' (taken by rust), or 'vase' but I can't find a nice alternative interpretation as an abbreviation ('Jug' has a 'j' that could mean JavaScript, but I think we would be looking for something with a W for 'web' or I for 'internet') or even something that sounds good ('crate' is growing on me, but already taken by rust. That shows that other terms might grow to become acceptable, too. Maybe 'jug' could be such a word?)

Creating Map Visualisations in Python with Basemap
So why not fix the problem at the demand side and not the supply side. If people can't afford essential-to-life services, isn't that the problem?

While I'm on the subject, centrally planning and allocating the services doesn't really solve the problem of whether it's worth the cost to have one ambulance to serve a town of five people who live in the middle of nowhere. Someone still has to make the decision. We can contrast the ways to make the decision.

In one proposal, the consumers of the services pay free market suppliers for emergency services. Various suppliers compete on features and price for servicing Buford, Wyoming (population 1). It turns out the resident of Buford, Wyoming needs to pay six figures per year to pay for his services. Either he's a Walton and it's not a big deal or he's a normal person and has to move somewhere that normal people can afford to live. Or maybe he signs a waiver stating he understands his home is outside the normal emergency services areas.

In another proposal, everyone gets emergency services no matter what. If a town can't afford it, they lobby up (county, state, nation) to a bureaucracy to get the subsidies they need. Eventually the money gets allocated as a line item in a pork barrel rider on the Save Kids with Cancer Act. From then on it's political suicide and a huge waste of political capital to cut the Buford, Wyoming Fire Department from the budget since, relatively speaking, there's not much to gain by being sensible at this level of detail. The guy in Buford, Wyoming gets a permanent six-figure-a-year subsidy for having absolutely no neighbors.

Hold on, you say, in proposal B you can have qualified bureaucrats (sorry, experts) picking which towns get services and which don't. In this case, we get to blame 'heartless republicans/democrats/whatever' instead of 'creative destruction'. People still have to decide some towns aren't worth it. But it's no longer people paying for what they use. It's someone you need to hire lobbyists to talk to.
>If you felt that strongly about it - not just "i'm going to type a really angry comment about it" strongly but "actually do something about it" strongly then you'd be hosting content yourself.

Or one could exploit the technicals of such platforms and while increasing the costs for such platforms in engaging in such behavior. Like exploiting oauth keys, public wifi networks, shoddy encryption, etc, to upload/modify content on behalf of "acceptable" users/accounts or engage in a number of interactions on such platforms in ways one wants to without the explicit permission that is not protected or enforced by such technical implementations. There's a lot of creativity to be had beyond self hosting.

The companies just want to make a profit, sure, but not every "user" has to care about that just as the companies don't give shit about the users freedoms. Plenty of jurisdictions where IP addrs are assigned in the world that would turn a blind eye to such actors who are acting agaisnt such platforms.

You're getting downvoted, but your perspective about the bike is correct (not sure about the other sentiments)

The logic is as follows: if I'm riding a bike on a sidewalk, the damage I can do to a pedestrian is an order of magnitude less than the car can do in damage to me in the street.

Hence bicycles should be riding with the pedestrians (on a wider sidewalk), in a dedicated bike lane separated from the cars, or should be banned entirely (for the convenience of motorists).

Forcing bikes onto the street with the US driving etiquette is the equivalent to throwing someone in a piranha tank.
IMP is really NOT( A AND NOT ( B ) )

A → B |- ~(A & ~B)

1) A → B [by assumption] 1

2) A & ~B [by assumption] 2

3) A [conj. elim. 2] 2

4) B [imp by 1,2] 1,2

5) ~B [conj. elim 2] 2

6) B & ~B [conj 4,5] 1,2

7) ~(A & ~B) [reductio ad absurdum 2,6] 1

{Thus by assuming only A → B we prove that we can derive ~(A & ~B).}

From there you can also trivially prove that ~(A & ~B) |- A → B; thus, they are tautologous and so given the primitives ~ and &, implication is not quite as "special" for a Universal Turing machine. This is merely to show, independent of any construction using only IMP, one can trivially reduce it to more primitive components, thus undermining any claim to a "special" status in the context of universal computation.
Interesting study!

As a primary maintainer on some libraries and a casual contributer on others, I'm not surprised at all to see that 48% of all contributions are from the non-principle developers.

I was surprised to see that C and C++ are so low in terms of outside contributions compared to many other languages. I don't believe this is due to the number of programmers using the language, so it begs the question as to why these languages are arguably less accessible.

I don't believe C/cpp are more syntactically difficult.

If I had to hazard a guess, it would be that C/C++ code are more often specialized libraries that require system level access, and so don't attract as much of a broad interest.

> Sorry, you are in almost everything wrong. Deficits are not really a problem. Currently, the lack of a deficit is the main reason, why the ECB set the interest rate to zero. Almost all European governments cut spending and remove money from the economy. The results are awful is most economies, except those which can export more than import. They live on the deficit of other countries.

Maybe I didn't make my self clear: I didn't say that deficit is a problem per se. I argued that given the current design and status quo in the EU, any country that has a deficit vis-a-vis Germany should stay out of the common currency because inevitably, it will end up like Greece in the long run.

I agree with most of what you said. Regarding Germany and the ECB, that's true but it's only a small part of the bigger picture.

That's a very simplistic way to do things. If there were no private firefighters then it wouldn't take long for there to be enough public pressure for a firefighting force to be financed by the state. Because these predatory companies are already in place, the government won't bother and will just shrug. So the alternative to private firefighters isn't no firefighters.
I built an STM a while back for fun and when people ask me how I managed to "image" atoms I usually use the analogy of the STM being like a "microscope sonar" where the atoms are "blips" on a plane (the sonar map). Sure it's not actual EM radiation landing on a CMOS detector but it's still pretty neat nonetheless.
Your comments betray a lot of ignorance, so I will just point out the glaring inaccuracies in #1. Here are two different expression parsers that are likely installed on machines you use, and they absolutely make a function call for each level of precedence (eval1, eval2, ..., exp1, exp2, ...)

http://code.metager.de/source/xref/gnu/coreutils/src/expr.c

https://opensource.apple.com/source/bash/bash-76.1/bash/expr...

My point is not that this is BAD -- it probably doesn't matter on modern machines. I'm just saying there are choices to make. Parsing requires some knowledge and choices -- that's all. You don't just "type out the code".

#3 is not a refutation, because all the languages I mentioned are extraordinarily common. The answer to "parsing real languages is hard" is not "don't parse real languages".

I can also tell by #4 that you don't have any background in security. It's not about YOUR code per se. It's about code that is deployed and that we all rely on.

Well, your argument was that trump was a right wing phenomenon caused by "left wing media shaping" but there IS no left wing media in the US as far as I can tell. The right wing/elite serving media like to pretend there is to drag the public/debate further to the right. Movements like trump are people knowing they're getting screwed but having the elite (people like Trump) blame mexicans or muslims (people with no money or power) or whoever rather than the banks, corporations and government itself (who have all the money and power). It doesn't make any difference which story trends on facebook or which youtube video gets pulled. If people wanted to learn about where the power is and how and why people who have generally good intentions are tricked into voting for people like trump then they'd be watching chomsky videos/interviews which are never pulled. By your logic chomsky would do well to get them taken down so that people try and discover what they're missing. But it doesn't work that way.

>Probably I have accepted all your terms and conditions

Yes, you did accept their terms and conditions. How does Facebook not have your mobile number when you're using their phone app? That thing knows more about your phone than you do (try reading its T&C).

I ignored the terrible ESL grammar, and powered through the "nothing to hide" fallacy, but in the end I'm so frustrated with the technological naivety of the author that his main point is lost. Apologies for being brash, Nitin, but you have to expect some scrutiny when you post on HN; this is a tech forum.

Though I don't doubt that Facebook would play on what's said in my first sentence, the fact that the person who's bringing the issue up seems to have been in a cave since 2013, and is only working with a control of 1, I'm going to write this off as user error until someone savvy verifies the claim.
Yes. When I started he was on methadone, but I guess like a lot of addicts he relapsed. The temptation of all that easy money must have been too great.

I have in my mind him paying his dealer in 20c pieces (I live in Australia so we don't have quarters). 20c pieces are actually quite large (11.2g) so a couple hundred dollars in 20c pieces is 11.2 x 5 x 200 = ~11kg (25 lbs). This was not some easy theft!
I agree. Having interviewed many people for JS jobs I have realised they actually don't know the language. The pressure these days is on frameworks. Do you know React? Angular? The assumption being that if someone can find they way around a framework they know the language. Not true.

I worked on team once where tech debt was "avoided" at all cost. It actually had a weird effect on the code base. We had a practice of writing a pull request 3 times before shipping it, kind of refactoring everything before we merged it.

We ended up with a really complicated codebase as a result. It was tricky to dive into the project because everything seemed so layered with complexity.

Now a days I try to take the most naïve approach to a bug or feature, that way if something breaks it's straightforward to fix. I only abstract when a process has slowed me down a few times.

This is all done with your normal tech debt fighting tools though, like linting, style guides, CI and unit tests.
I had to look up plebiscite, which turns out to be a synonym for referendum (as far as I can tell). As a result, your comment is kind of cryptic.
> [1] Working for free is illegal as well. If you do something that is normally paid, for free, you will get deported and banned. (As some foreign students who do this for experience sadly find out.)

Whoa, wait a second. What about open-source contributions? Are they banned as well? Open-source work can be, but is not "normally" paid though.
There's no good-faith HN comment that closes by asserting that anyone who disagrees with it must be doing so "to stop feeling small". If you believe strongly that Snowden's actions are heroic, you could do a better job of making the case, or, if they're self-evidently heroic, you needn't comment at all.
interesting. I would never make this trade and find it horrifying.

> This makes more clear the difference between a real jihadist with bad intentions, and a pious person slowly being brainwashed

While I respect you view it this way, I have trouble believing this is even slightly reminiscient of reality. You seem to imply that if not for terrorist propaganda on twitter, "pious" people would not be terrorists. I suspect this is an outlandish strawman devoid of any substance.

> At what cost? Apparently at the cost of innocent lives.

This has always been the cost. Many people have knowingly given their lives for such ideals. Certainly private corporations have the freedom and latitude to make their own decisions, however, there is a reason freedom of speech was built into the bill of rights.

edit: it was indicated that driving them underground was considered positive, I would also like to respectfully disagree. If we accept this is where the "real" terrorists are congregating (online communities) having them remain in plain view and analyzing their recruitment and propaganda techniques would likely be a high leverage option.
> Another scandal emerged recently when it was revealed that Amazon’s same-day delivery service was unavailable for ZIP codes in predominantly black neighborhoods.

Without knowing the details behind this, it seems likely that Amazon and other web companies could be been "discriminatory" for purely business reasons. Predominantly black neighborhoods are likely to spend less totally and per customer than average, especially in urban areas where blacks are on the bottom of high inequality. Amazon provides greater service to wealthier neighborhoods for the same reasons as brick and mortar businesses.

Another great aspect of the first two Alien movies is that the musical score is very sparse and subtle. Those films don't need to use constant music to tell the viewer what to think or feel or notice, which is an amazing effect on it's own.
