Is disagreeing with the style of someone's rhetoric really the same as an attack on the person? The parent comment is making the point that Stallman uses exclusionary tactics while speaking and that they are a turn off if you aren't already a convert. I think it's a cogent point and I think it applies in a more general sense to a lot of lazy techniques employed by those who seek to be divisive.
Most people who are worried about living longer have experienced trauma, pain, and illness. It is not just a matter of preventing normal aging. You need to be able to fully heal from traumatic injury and illness. You need to be able to truly diagnose and correct the sources of chronic pain. And you need to be able to heal emotionally as well as physically.

There are terrible experiences we can have as human beings. I'm going through one myself right now, as I work to diagnose some terrible chronic pains, while my wife is in rehab care after a pretty bad accident that has left her unable to move without help.

If we can heal 100% from these experiences, sure, longevity sounds good. But under our current medical knowledge, that is a big "If".
I'd give anything to switch social network but I'm not keen on switching to one where my friends aren't. So no matter how much I despise Facebook, today I can't really be without it. I'd literally miss every single social event because it has come to the point where no one even imagines that someone wouldn't use FB.

I wish someone would just set up a free/open network by just stealing users social graph from Facebook outright and having people "migrate" to the new one (and also presenting FB data in the new apps feed during a transition period).

This is of course an attack on everything that Facebook is, so naturally this new social network would have to be decentralized and the creators would have to be pretty low key.
>Why waste time tracking endless trails of shell companies when you can just tax the wealth when it appears in public?

Because the wealth should be taxed in the place (country state, region etc.) where it was made (and whose resources were used in the process) and not where it appears in public.
The reverse situation is probably much more common.

I have seen some videos from one of the main bear especialist in Norway, an american that had radiotracked about 800 bears in his life. Each year a few people is atacked in scandinavia and practically all attacks are to elk hunters by a bear previously shooted (deliberately or by mistake). Often there are also some hounds involved. In the video a bear surprised eating berries charge. The man stands in position and the bear move to one side in the last moment and run away. Not much unlike a gorilla. Is a common display. European bears are smaller, so in US could be different.

The not selfie advice is relevant. Bears loathe to be tracked. If you see some bear traces walk away and don't follow it. In Spain there is a recent and very unusual case of a brown bear that charged against a man doing photos, broke his arm with a single strike of the claws, deliver some advertence "soft" bites in neck and face and then escaped. As in the other four cases registered in 25 years in Spain, the bear striked once and then tried to escape by any means. None of the five victims were killed, although some were seriously injured.

A solution could be start feeding the black bears in the forest until the next year.
Florida Driver Fined $48,000 for Using Cellphone Jammer
Wire fraud and stolen account schemes generally get eliminated/caught because of laundering issues, not because of how they do the actual fraud; and for large cases of fraud / large stolen accounts, the laundering capacity limits the total amount.

Good AML provisions help reduce your fraud losses, even if you decide to make some "exceptions" for your VIP customers.

LNKD stock was volatile which meant that share price crashes were great opportunities to invest if you believed in the long-term dominance of the company. I "loaded the boat" when it fell to $100/share. There's little doubt in my mind it would have made it back to $196/share (which was about my estimate for fair value) with or without MSFT, although it got there much faster this way. Curiously the stock is trading about 3% below the all-cash offer price so I guess that Wall Street believes there's a small but non-zero chance the deal doesn't happen.
Ease of collection is just one of the goals of a tax system. Others include fairness, and not distorting the underlying economy more than necessary. Taxing only tangible things might make collection easy, but may not be fair (it'll generally tax higher income people at a lower rate than lower-income people), and may also create artificial incentives to engage in activities that result in non-taxable wealth rather than taxable wealth.
This is incorrect. There is usually a huge delay before any motion happens. The speed of that motion is independent of the planning speed. If you have to replan during a move then yes the two can become intermingled, but if you watch most ROS based planning today what you see is a good 30 seconds of compute before the robot moves at all. Sometimes it can be multiple minutes!

Another's hobby, an animal's death.

Besides, it's not about the chicken having more chances or less. It's that it's a more substantial lesson in "killing one's own food" -- as we eat chicken, beef etc tons of times a year, whereas hunting is 100% hobby and 0% substantial "killing own food".
Soy can "feminize" in some men. It probably requires some kind of predisposition, but it's not a conspiracy theory.

There are several case reports out there now. I remember reading about an Australian guy who was otherwise healthy, with no prior hormonal issues.

For what it's worth, it also happened to me. When I was 20 or 21, I developed a taste for soy burgers & started eating them every day.

I quickly developed breast tissue under both nipples. When I realized what was happening, I cut out the soy & most of the tissue atrophied.

Same thing happened to my brother years later, from protein powder. I tried to warn him but he didn't believe me.

It's a thing, it happens.
I'm a bit surprised by these criticisms from someone using sqlalchemy. I had the same opinions of orms in the past until I learnt sqlalchemy.

Partial objects, attribute creep, and foreign keys: defer the loading of columns [1] to suit your use-case. You can even have different mappings that deal with different subsets of columns depending on your situation.

Data retrieval: sqlalchemy is so good for querying that I've mostly stopped using sql for anything other than complex exploratory analysis work. Sure, you need to know sql to be effective, but whatevs - eg Window functions? Done [2]

Dual schema dangers: I understand the concern, but again, you can choose to map this as you please and I don't see what doing raw sql gains you here. You need to change the schema, if that affects your application, you need to change your application, if it doesn't, do you need to change your orm code? I routinely migrate my db and release changes to the orm code later.

Identities: I admit there are a couple of times I need to flush in my app outside of the normal lifecycle, which I don't like. With sqlalchemy, for the most part, you just connect objects and don't worry about the ids.

Transactions: Whatever happens you'll need some sort of transaction boundary in your code. Removing the orm doesn't gain you anything there, does it?

I've written about some of this before on here so I won't rehash it https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9180831

There's a time and a place for sql, orms and storedprocs. The more you know about each of them, the more effective you can be. As ever, learn the tools and never throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Tell that to the IRS, which insists that even if you're working in a foreign country, for a foreign company, on foreign projects that they still deserve their cut.
Reposting stories you feel didn't get the attention they deserved is allowed by HN.

It seems like what makes this individual special is that you're singling them out?
My real analysis is extremely rusty, but could you use Urysohn's lemma to get an arbitrary continuous "step" function and then integrate that.
The final inanity; what supports a compromised user device from simply submitting it's own copy of the form that it populated, or even transparently proxing the client and MitM on the compromised machine it's self so that it can change the submitted values?
Damn, how do they keep the books from falling out of those sideways shelving units in Seattle? ;-)
Use the best tool for the job.

ORM's might do it 80% of the time. The other 20%, most of the mature ORMs provide a way to execute your own sql.
>any more suggestions?

Alternatively - this is approximately what I do:

1. Set things to pretty public

2. Only post stuff you don't mind the public seeing in the same way you would post on HN, twitter or a blog.

> One point of note is that O'Callahan's "Vapourware" post points out a problem that's solvable, it isn't some big blocker the way he claims it is.

No, it is a big blocker. In fact, it's the same as the problem I pointed out, just with global variables instead of shared ptr. Aliasable mutable data is the fundamental unsolvable problem; whether it arises through global variables or shared ptr is just a detail.

> The rest of your post shifts the question from "is there a culture of secure, maintainable, and understandable software" to "Is C++ software free of memory flaws." Are these concepts not distinct to you?

Software that has memory flaws that enable remote code execution is not secure.
For me the time I loved SQLAlchemy the most was the time when I migrated my database from MySQL to Postgres.
Almost all of the issues people were warning me about did not matter as SQLAlchemy caught them automatically.

It is a bad idea for any developer to try it. Statistically speaking, it is the best programmers who create the most widespread security flaws.
"Punishment" and "guilt" and "innocence" are irrelevant concepts here. Banks aren't being "punished" by being required to implement money laundering controls. It's a condition of doing business as a bank, to serve certain government objectives.

More generally: no western government recognizes a "fundamental right to commerce" such that restrictions on commerce require the existence of "bad" conduct worthy of punishment.[1] There is nothing "bad" about not implementing money laundering controls, just as there is nothing "bad" about talking a left turn on Constitution Ave between 9-5 on a weekday. But the government doesn't need to show its "bad" to implement the regulation.

[1] Though we kind of tried that in the U.S. under the concept of economic due process.

I noticed that on Question Time one of the panel mentioned the possibility of a "Government of National Unity" - which is something the UK hasn't had since 1945 and the end of WW2.

I agree.

Many honest people will not tolerate total financial surveillance and automated techniques like those in the article make honest people intentionally engage in structuring even though they have "nothing to hide"

Financial privacy is like clothing. Yes, clothing can be used to conceal contraband and further illicit activity that is almost universally regarded as bad, but that doesn't mean the entire world is willing to be strip searched.
This reminds me of how "propaganda" was euphemised as "public relations".
If 1940's Germany or 1970's Soviets had wanted to decapitate British leadership they could have done little better than this. It would be nice if the Queen were to exercise Royal Perogative - quickly - and order Britain to honor its obligations as an EU member apart from immigration. In this way, the Queen could minimally pacify all sides and Britain could extricate itself from this quagmire with some face intact. She would set herself above the fray and if the EU objected it would be Brussels at fault thereafter.
While the rules not explicitly spell out what "a small number of reposts" is in numbers, I think it is fair to ask if someone is reposting something 7 times.

Would you like a phrase to quickly and easily describe that state of being?

Apatheistic Agnostic. You're not concerned with the issue, it's too big and universal and we're too human. You're not convinced of anything, and frankly, since whatever does or doesn't come after this is inevitable and inescapable, what's the point of endless debate during our finite lives?

Who knows?... and who could even know? No one, that's who.
>If Apple can actually pull off this turnover so quickly, does that suggest the complaints about Apple's declining software engineering quality were overblown?

The complaints are usually about minor parts of the OSX/iOS stack -- parts Apple might not even particularly prioritize.

A faulty filesystem on the other hand is something entirely else altogether and something they can't ship unless it's good.
Unlocking immortality would be a fantastic scientific achievement, but I see the pursuit of immorality as being very self-centered. As Richard Muller implies in his response to this question [1], we need death to ensure a consistent advancement of civilization. As we age, we get more and more set in our ways. So we need the older generation to eventually die off so new ideas and ways of thinking can take hold and push humanity an inch forward. And the cycle goes on.

Other than the social/resource implications (eg: there not being enough food/water/etc to feed everyone) of everybody living forever, I also think chasing immortality is a way of dealing with the anxiety that the looming nature of death induces. Maybe it is the anxiety of not existing someday that drives people to make the most of their 75 years. If everyone had an infinite amount of time, would our society advance just as rapidly? I don't know. But it's a point worth thinking about.

Whole Foods produce is only better in areas that have a Whole Foods. In areas without a Whole Foods, all the produce goes to the lower-end stores and sold for the lower prices, regardless of quality. Once Whole Foods moves in, they split off the higher-quality produce, selling it for a higher price, and the quality everywhere else drops.

In Budapest, Hungary I can see a rise in prices from 250 EUR/month to almost 350 EUR/month for the same flat in the last 2 years thanks to Airbnb. What happens here is that most property owners realized that they can make more money by renting their flat (not just a room) instead of underleasing it. This leads to a LOT of people hopelessly scrambling for flats to rent because there are not a lot of new flats being built. Basically tourists are taking away flats from people who are trying to live in the city. This is horrible IMHO. I hope that the government will assess brutal taxes on Airbnb to make it useless or otherwise a lot of people will either become homeless or are forced to return to the countryside.

In Germany, asparagus season is just over, lasting from April to June. Interestingly, asparagus is one of the few vegetables which Germans fully accept as being available only seasonally. And conversely, they go totally crazy during asparagus season for no apparent reason.

About the only other seasonal vegetable is kale, which Northern Germans will once a year cook to death and serve with disgustingly fat sausages whose name derives from an old word for "penis". You can't make this up. :)

She could maybe do something like that, but it would probably mean the end of the Royal family, who do have power but are arguably only allowed to have power on the strict understanding they don't use it.

The last thing we need is the chaos of the Royals becoming mixed up in all of this.

[Edit: I'm a very mild republican - but I'd be happiest if the Royals decided for themselves that the current state of affairs is a bit silly and they decided to do something else. Also if the alternative is an elected political president as HoS then I'll keep the Royals.]
I agree it has some advantages, but citing commonality seems weird when it's increasingly unlikely for new to be homeowners to afford a home in cities like London, SF, etc. I doubt most people waste thousands of dollars each month for the ability to relocate quickly?

He's not trying to be the bridge. He is the standard bearer.

In the 90s, others such as ESR and Linus were the bridges. Stallman has always been the idealist who will hold firm to his ideal. Back in the day, like you, I thought he was extreme and kind of silly. ESR had a far more socially acceptable and commercially palatable message (which is pretty shocking in retrospect, considering the direction his writing and politics have taken).

Nearly 20 years later, it's clear that Stallman is almost certain to be a historical figure remembered hundreds of years from now. His older "crazy" pieces like The right to read look more prophetic by the day. If nothing else, his utter disregard of popular views has made him free to speak truths that others can't.

Every single article I have read had indicated this is terrible. I have seen a lot of people who would I guess be classified in America as progressive liberals, e.g. the types who speak of privelege and safe-spaces, decrying how the country has gone to ruin via fascism. Just in general, younger people seem to be totally against this. All the 'economists' on CNN, FOX, Bloomberg, ect are saying this was stupid and economically catastrophic.

All this is to say, everyone has pretty much decided this is terrible for Britain.

Is it? I have seen some data and understand that they will lose an outsize ability to steer European affairs and that they will lose out economically because they contribute less to the euro union than they net back. However, there hasn't been much explanation other than sillyness and name calling.

What did they gain, and honestly why is this so negative. There hasn't been a particularly strong or cohesive explanation other than saying Cameron is an idiot and the world is over?

Kenmore's public library has a low density of books as well - wide aisles, low shelves. I suspect it is partly due to wanting to be accessible to people in wheelchairs. But few books kinda defeats the purpose of having a library.
