I think your idea misses the point that every one of us will eventually be in a 'late-stage disease state' (for a fairly broad definition of 'disease,' to include trauma). When we're young, we tend to think that our bodies just work; as we get older (and I'm nowhere near old yet), we realise that they don't, no matter what therapeutic regimens we devise for them. In the end, every one of our bodies will be failing; physicians and/or surgeons will have all sorts of last-minute interventions to try, but in the very end, our bodies will fail.

We might be able to use all sorts of preventive therapies to get almost everyone to, say, 85 — but eventually, everyone's body will fail, and we all will die.
The analogy would imply that hosts should verify that guests have a license to rent. Last I checked, there is no license to rent.

A much better analogy would be a franchisor has a responsibility to ensure a franchisee has appropriate business licensure. However, I do not know where the liability lies in this scenario.

> In just a few days, the British elite lost how much of its wealth ?

> It also depends on how long term your view is

If a few more rich countries in the world do the same, taking the route of separation, it won't look good long term for anyone. I think separation and protectionism work for a few countries, but if everyone tries to do the same, it will be a bad move.

Globalization has lead to a greater level of mutual integration between countries which in turn has decreased war. If we put more separation between our countries, there will be less incentive for peace.

Instead, we should change the system as to recover a fair share of tax money from multinationals and hold them responsible for their treatment of people (employees and customers). There should be some protections for people, but giving free trade away would lead to isolation for some and war for others.
You seem to ask us to pretend those two transactions are unrelated, but I don't understand why.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandering_(politics)

"Perverse" to you and most HN commenters/readers, maybe.

Trump and Fox News may "pander" to groups who you find distasteful, but they DON'T "pander" to many groups who you don't find distasteful.

Trump was the FIRST PERSON to bring up many issues that had previously been censored by the media. He didn't change his views for the approval of others, he single-handedly SHAPED THE NARRATIVE. Many career politicians started talking differently after he came along. THAT'S pandering.
Kinda surprised that no one is debating jurisdiction here. Why federal and not state courts? Are federal judges more friendly to this type of case?

>they'll see stuff that they probably shouldn't

I don't understand that mentality, would you care to elaborate?

Personally, if someone is old enough to understand the words they are reading, they are probably old enough to have opinions about what they have read.

My parents and my mom's sisters raised me and my cousins very differently. My cousins used to be much more dependent and during puberty, they seem to have been far more defiant than I have. This is in contrast to me, where I have consistently been defiant yet been able to deal with being alone.

I was raised with no internet filtering and because of this, I learned a lot about a lot of things and was able to talk to people that internet filters would have blocked out. I think this contributed to my personal social and critical thinking abilities.

What's wrong with Engadget?
Is this assuming all streets are one-way? If they are, than I wouldn't expect an economic impact on businesses. Since the amount of products people buy - and the money they are willing to spend - should stay the same, than the total money influx would remain constant. Therefore, the only change would be how this money is distributed. Since all stores would lie on one-way streets, none would be more impacted than the other.
Yes, it's very tricky to take an action as complex as the decision to cheat on emissions test and boil down numbers describing the damage done to society. Having numbers like "they killed 59 people" certainly makes it easier to stir enough outrage, but it is an oversimplification.

Would you agree with something like "the emissions they caused by cheating killed people, and our current best estimate of that is 59 (+- the confidence interval in the paper)".

It's true that the decision to cheat may have had the benefit of getting safer cars to more people, but that is even harder to measure than deaths caused by emissions. To me, the decision to cheat wouldn't be justifiable and I would still be outraged because they knowingly did harm to the environment and society with the hopes that there would be a nearly un-measurable side benefit: increasing the average safety of cars relative to a world that doesn't exist. To me, it seems despicably irresponsible to gamble the well being of many human lives against something so hard to measure.

Italy wants Whatsapp to pay for operators' lost revenue
We don't always get easy choices but I refuse to abdicate my responsibility to make the best choice for my country, even if it means swallowing some of my reservations. The other side has nominated an unprincipled criminal who has shown utter contempt for accountability in the course of her public service. Not to mention that I share about 0-5% of her policy views.

Aside from the whole judge debacle, which I concede can be seen that way, I don't see any evidence that Trump is anti-Hispanic. It's a nice narrative for the other side, because it turns off any thinking about the substance.

The GOP is unfortunately full of people who are more interested in abiding by liberal PC pieties, more interested in not being called racist, more interested in staying in power, than they are in actually delivering for their voters and for the American people. The Romney's and Bush's of the world just offer a slow-motion surrender instead of an overnight loss. Sometimes that's all you can get and it's better than nothing. Trump offered the base a chance to go all in. Despite his weaknesses, it's probably as good a timing as we will ever get.

Like I said in my topmost comment here, there's also the plain fact that many of these Republicans don't share the world view of the wing of the party that Trump represents. American parties are big tents with lots of room for ideological diversity. In countries with proportional systems, politicians have to negotiate with multiple parties to get a majority in Parliament. In America, that fight happens in the People.

Also, look, Trump is divisive obviously. He might win, but he's very controversial and has generated a lot of animosity, because he slaughters everyone's sacred cows. If he loses, some think it could damage the Republican brand for a long time, especially if our politically-correct culture continues down its current path. A lot of Republicans are trying to hedge their bets, to prevent another long-term calamity like the fallout from Goldwater's loss. I disagree with them, but I see where they're coming from.

Ask HN: API Licensing Deal Tips
Our startup both provides and consumes commercial API's. We and most of the API's we integrate with charge based on requests, or a fixed monthly cost plus requests. One of the partners i'm currently negotiating only have a handful of customers and do a bespoke deal with each integrator.

They want us to pay a large monthly fee from day 1 which would include development/integration time. They aren't setup to charge on a hits basis and it doesn't really work for their data either. They want to do a more "traditional" style of license and they have a sales person who I assume is being paid a commission.

What could we propose as a licensing structure when you don't know what the start date would be for us going live, nor do we know how we're going to be using it yet? Taking into account
Bluetooth is very easy to hate. It never ever just works: the pairing rituals, the flakiness. It's annoying.

H1Bs, especially those from poorer countries, are often more able to walk away. They just can't walk away and stay in the US. Being able to return to a place with a lower cost of living means you need less money in the bank to feel comfortable turning in your notice.

The world is getting smaller and more companies are realizing that remote workforces are possible. The network of people you build is far more important for finding a job than your location. Coming to the US can be an excellent way to break in and establish that network. But once you've done that, it's not necessary to stay here.

I've read some interesting articles about how doctors face their own old age and deaths. In contrast with the general approach of "buy more time at any cost (financial or quality-of-life)", doctors, especially those who work in hospitals or palliative care, tend to go for treatments which extend their quality-of-life for as long as is practical and then give them a quick, peaceful death.

At what number of terrible Bluetooth software stacks does one start wondering if there isn't something fundamentally wrong with the specification that makes it so incredibly hard to get right?

It's been bad from day one with Widcomm and later Bluesoleil on Windows. Mac OS X for years had a Bluetooth where after a couple of hours of using the DUN profile it would need a reboot, on an otherwise nicely reliable operating system. Mice on Bluetooth have never worked as smoothly, reliably, or as well as just using a proprietary protocol like Logitech Unifying.

It's not that I necessarily think it's an unsolvable problem, it's just that after a decade with so many multiple implementations that can't get it right I feel Bluetooth itself has to bear some responsibility.

That's different. Sometimes you have to defend yourself and then it's justified to go to war. Going to war without being threatened is a crime (like it was done numerous times by the US governement and is done now in Syria. Only because there is no judge makes it no less a crime.).

But you don't have to defend yourself from this company. You aren't in danger. As a result punishing the workers would be nothing but a crime.

It is, you can get both of those things because programming teaches you how to really think, and that skill is transferable to anything you do. It's like akin to reading, it's a useful skill to learn no matter your eventual chosen profession. It doesn't have to lead to a programming job.

Memleax, new version 0.4

I submitted my project here before when I just wrote it out. Now I have realized all features that I can think (e.g. FreeBSD, libdw, expire memblocks active), fixed all known bugs, tested on CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian and FreeBSD, and have no plan any more on it. Then I post it again here for some new advices.

Besides, if you have a production service with very slow memory leak. The leak is so slow that you do not want to fix it. Then you should try `memleax`. It’s convenient and suitable for this case specially.

Thanks.
That seems like a very reasonable observation, and I would accept that as an answer if this were a discussion about road racing. However, the completely unqualified title (including the word "prove") implies something deeper. Road racing is never mentioned.

I just starting Kendo training here at a local dojo. Our instructor is very adamant and clear at almost all training sessions that the skills we are learning with the bamboo and wooden swords are NOT usable in a self defence or martial capacity at all.

Rather that our studies are for mental focus, fitness and spiritual calmness. These are the exact reasons I took up the study of this art.

In my younger days, I studied Tae Kwon Do for years, but as most other have said here - it has no real practical value in a street fight either, aside from extra fitness, flexibility and general peripheral awareness which may serve as an advantage in a conflict situation.
The part you forget with this is the people cost. A company moving to an AWS (or other cloud provider solution) may be able to drop a human from their staff. This is worth a lot more than saving a few dollars rolling your own ES. Also when you roll your own you usually maintain, if not increase staff count. Cloud providers afford businesses the ability to look at decreasing staffing while increasing capacity.

The city is facing huge pressure from local residents because the price of housing has gone up dramatically in the past few years. Property owners taking rental properties off the market to turn them into unlicensed full-time hotels through Airbnb further reduces housing stock, in addition to forcing a bunch of negative externalities onto neighbors who have little recourse. Most local residents who aren’t themselves Airbnb hosts are on the city’s side here.

The hotel industry is certainly unhappy with Airbnb, but they’re far from the only ones.
