Well, accountability is a very important motivating factor for any habit you're trying to develop. Whether it's practcing a language, an instrument, or a skill, many need the feeling of accountability in order to proceed. When you're in a class, you're not only learning from the instructor, you're accountable to them, and they to you regarding your success. In group activities like this, you're accountable to your buddies or your team.

With solo exercise or any self-improvement, the most important thing is making you accountable to yourself. It's a fine line between a healthy care and an obsessive care, but when you walk on the healthy side, it's a good things. In a completely non-professional manner, I've been the "buddy" for a lot of people looking to lose weight and get a bit healthier in general; I"m by no means in perfect shape, but I eat clean, run daily, and do light lifting. Since I travel around frequently, it's hard for me to be an eternal buddy for people, so I almost always emphasize getting them accountable to themselves. Not to make them judge and hate themselves, but more just to ask "do I really need the large popcorn at the theatre?", or "it has been a long day, but do I want to spend it on the couch watching reruns or take 20 minutes to jog a little?".

By putting a conscious effort and awareness on one's self and making them "talk to themselves" about their wants, since ultimately that's what it needs to become; not exercising because they should, or losing weight because they've been called fat, but to have people be able to be honest with themselves and figure out what it is they really want. Once you start to cut out the external noise a lot of people use to frame their identity, you stop getting ridiculous goals and ideas like "bulk up like The Rock" or "look like [super model]", and instead get more realistic and practical things like "I just wanna get up the stairs without being out of breath" or "it'd be nice to just lose a bit of this gut". The latter are what the individual wants, and that's actionable. They're accountable to themselves at that point, not to someone they see only occasionally. Actually wanting to care for yourself is probably the greatest motivator with health stuff you can have; some people just need a little push to get started.

Except for when someone’s government asks to remove content. For example, this link http://web.archive.org/web/20150618110931/http://ozpp.ru/pam... was removed from Internet Archive machine by Russian government request
It worked this way: Russia blocked IA for Russians => IA removed content for everyone => Russia unblocked IA for Russians.
Years ago I tried running my old C64 games on faster hardware was disappointed that many games from back then seemed to assume a particular CPU speed. For instance all the D&D boxed set games (like pool of radiance/curse of the azure bonds) would have characters move during combat based on the the speed of the computer. On a faster processor combat was over in a blink of an eye making the game unplayable.

I believe most of the software emulators slow down the clock speed so games are playable, but on actual faster hardware, there's prob a lot of non-playable games. I really don't know why this was the case :/
How/when did Farage insult his peers (I presume you're talking of MEPs?)
"mistake" is a loaded term, which includes a meaning of being wrong, and deserving of being erradicated; so much so that people don't use it for Standard English. But people who are using it for AAVE are intentionally trying to use the loaded meaning of "mistake"
I understand the point that the author is trying to make, but "around the world" seems to be an overstatement. More like around the America and Europe.

In countries like Russia or China, trust of government is the very basis of governance. The country would collapse rather fast if a sizeable portion of people stop trusting the government.
Thank you, will address this week.
I hear this message a lot from the press but I don't believe it.

Have you actually used a mobile app? I agree mobile apps let you use the gyroscope and things like that, but for reading content, at least on a tablet, the ordering is

real web site >> mobile web site >> app

For instance I went to the imgur site, it told me to download the app, then i could not find the content I was looking at on the site.
Thank you, we are still ironing out many of the finer details. Feel free to let us know if you have any questions.
Most people don't know what's going on in government and judge things by how life is around them. Unfortunately that's been bad in many places due mostly to deflation of a type not much seem since the 1930s IMHO. This then gets blamed on the politicians, immigrants and the like as most people couldn't even tell you what "insufficient aggregate demand" means.
There was something about port of Rotterdam in the story. Good luck with installing wifi hotspots all over shipyard or close by rail switches. You also need access points not that far away for ESP8266 or cable + big antena.

On the other hand WiFi spectrum is already crowded with around 20 networks at any time in cities with god knows how many clients connected to it.

90% of tax on corporations? What reason would there be to run a company then? What would drive people to take this road? What result other than the total collapse of an economy would a 90% tax bring? I would leave Britain, and so will many others. Lower the bar on corp tax and you create more companies creating more jobs for people, increasing tax revenue and the wellfare of those in work (and by that the wellfare of those not in work).
This is thinly veiled nihilism. Yes, language is a human construct and no dialect is "better" in any universal objective sense. But as a society, we have expectations for how our common language is spoken. We have positive and negative associations with different dialects. The negative associations are equally valid parts of the language evolution process as the positive ones. I don't think schools should start teaching street talk. Civilization is about bringing order to chaos and having a standard accepted language is part of that. The common dialect, called Written English, used around the world is a major strength for our civilization.

Teaching AAVE in schools is not going to help the students in black communities, it's just going to further alienate them from the rest of society. Accepting papers written in AAVE isn't going to prepare people for reality: no one cares about social justice for a dialect, they care about effective communication.
Is the Explore page broken, or is it supposed to be empty?
Ask HN: Have you been afraid of charging your users?
I have a project, which I think is in a good position for me to start charging its users money. But I keep delaying it.

I think my reasons are

1. Fear - fear of... something going horribly wrong? (hm, what could that be).. getting sued? (ok I'm being ridiculous, I know).

2. Not desperate enough? - I do have a full time job on the side and I like the idea of having my personal project being monetized, but maybe that's going to make the whole thing too serious and etc.

Now that I've written the question, I feel like I'm ridiculous, and perhaps, I can't articulate exactly what my thoughts are at the moment.

Just wanted to ask if others have felt and gone through something similar. Or I should just... shut up and get to work eh?

Another follow-on question would be, does anyone NOT recommend charging early? I know most of the startup advice tends to be "monetize early", but was curious on your experience.
Of Unix?

btw: so are you advocating a full GPL-like distribution of the sources alongsides the binaries for all programs?

What do you mean "the same is true of gay sex"? Big Tobacco sells cigarettes. Who exactly is "Big Gay Sex"? You seem to be pushing an agenda here. How can they ever be consistent. I don't understand your position.

The original article explains "Underlying explanations include declines in the prevalence of smoking".

Smoking causes income inequality. That's the topic we are talking about. Smoking is highly taxed, and highly addictive, and a simple pleasure, and a massive industry.

The legal sale of tobacco products is an outlier. Let's talk consistency then: why has it not been banned already, like asbestos or other carcinogens? One in five deaths annually are caused by this industry. Why is that inconsistency acceptable to you?

If (for example) oranges were found to have the same effect as smoking, the sale of them would be banned immediately. If you wanted to grow your own oranges and eat them, no-one would stop you. You just couldn't sell them.

I'm trying to discuss a way that this could happen with smoking. You are trying to get me to ban gay sex for "consistency" and saying that I seem unprincipled as I don't equate the two things.

My guess is that the folks bitching about you guys are extrapolating from the "standards" that 18f produces, and spinning that into the RFP thing.

Contractors hate standards, because they scope what they can sell. If you make a simple statement like "use Git for source control", the vendors want to be able to contest that decision, or have the decision made in some sort of "open" form where they get to lobby for some other standard.
API went down, back up. Thanks.
Unless I misunderstand you, I thought the exact opposite was true: The separation of source from binaries is what made UNIX a success. When C was designed, it allowed one to take the source from one machine to another, disregarding the underlying machine architecture.
Ah, neat- OpenPGP.js! Stumbled upon this the other day and was impressed that it's already been audited (Cure53).
As someone with a research interest in such services maybe you allow me to ask a few questions (you don't have to answer all of them)

- What separates you from existing API Marketplaces (e.g. Algorithmia)

- What kind of run time environments do you allow?

- Do you have programmer APIs other than JS?

- From your blog I am assuming you use docker for running the algorithms? Will the docker images be made open too?

- How much effort do you think it would take me to transform an existing algorithm that I have to be available in your system?

No, he hasn't. He got a salary as he was and the UK people had a mandate for him to be a MEP, but he didn't turn up for work, so he wasn't a MEP.

At the very least, have a vetting + tracking implemention at the outer borders. As far as I can tell they had and did nothing. They had no plan, no structures in place, no way to track migrants entering Europe, nothing. That is just asking for chaos, trouble, and pissed off groups of local people.

Basically, all I see is a blanket "let's open the borders" call, that allowed people to simply cross a border. It renders the concept of borders, border-control, visas, regulations, passports all of that as null and void. For years, we've all followed the rule of law, visas and passports for travel, and now all of a sudden none of that matters because...?
Bulgaria Passes a Law Requiring Open Source
This is precisely what the UK's Government Digital Service does - they've got a team of experienced, motivated, technical staff who's job is to assist other parts of government build and manage technical services. They've got teams dedicated to common infrastructure such as payment processing or notifications, and other teams who are working on specific projects, either building themselves or assisting those departments in building their own digital teams to do so.
It depends what you mean by compressing. If you pass this through deflate/gzip/some other standard compression, `bar` will compress very well. So if you can use standard compression either in transport or when saving the file, that will give you the best result.

If you want to do references within json, you'd have to implement something yourself. There are lots of different solutions to this already. If you use only references, you could simply say this field includes the id of the structure you need, like:

{
"_refs": {
"abc": {"desc": ..., "other": ....}
},
"items": [
{"foo": "foo bar", "bar": "abc"},
...

If you want some system where you can use either the text or id, have a look at something like AWS CF format. There, values that look like `{"Ref": "SomeName"}` are replaced with values of the reference, but you can just have "foo" in place of that object and it will still work.

If you want to keep that value a string for some reason, you can also use namespacing like AWS does: `{"Fn::Base64": {...}}` for example gets interpreted as a value of that function rather than a standard object. Using "ref::..." as a prefix for "this is not a standard value" could work for you.
> To refer to these variations as a "mistake" is the problem.

But, surely, some variations are mistakes, whereas others might have come about as a deliberate and thought out breaking of an existing rule.
This is a great example of an entrenched incumbent/monopolist backlash against an earnest attempt to cut costs and increase the efficiency of government. This same story happens every day throughout the world in numerous ways, and solving it so the 'good guys' win is in my opinion one of the of the most important things a country can do to improve its institutions.

I've spoken to a number of developers who work in DC, and they pretty much tell the same story: huge tech companies/consulting firms who want to lock in a long-term contract use unnecessarily complex technologies and solutions (I'm looking at you, Java EE) that create big legacy codebases which are very difficult to switch away from, ensuring that the contractor has a job forever. Furthermore, once they've got the government agency 'by the balls' (AKA, the contractor has built a complex, poorly documented monster which only it can understand), it can charge a ridiculous amount of money for maintenance and new feature development.

Travel the Solar System Aboard a Train That Never Stops
So many comments in this thread regurgitating the same drivel, which by the way adds no value to the discussion. A man spends decades of his life working on something, and now you're telling me, after he achieves his goal, that he's having an epiphany and no longer believes in it?

There's a political bubble here on HN (a lot of hate for Brexit/UKIP), but that's not a reason to be able to make silly comments like this.
IMO proposing of speaking only one language because of usefulness on an English speaking site is a bit hypocritical, considering it is not even the most widespread. Surely keeping English around is just emotional appeal.
It's tough, but at some level these people are choosing this lifestyle. There's no shortage of engineering roles in the world that don't require you to work in high pressured environments and that don't require you to work out of hours.

I work 4 days per week rather than the typical 5 and refuse to do out of hours jobs, using the additional day to have fun with open source, exercise and just generally keep on top of life. I make well over double the annual average household income for the UK at 30 hours a week. I'd take that over ladder climbing as aggressively as possible any day. We really do have it pretty good.
This is just silly. These drug companies aren't selling sex, nor encouraging people to do it. They also sell chemotherapy drugs, which are also subsidized. Tobacco causes 1 in 5 deaths and it causes income inequality which is what the article is about.
> You should try to not do this kind of thing though

Is there a recommendation on what to do instead?
What is your goal?

If your goal is to reduce the amount of data that goes across the wire, just make sure you have gzip enabled on your server - the compression algorithm will take care of that for you.

Otherwise (if you are trying to reduce memory usage), you probably want to split them out, as say "sub-items", and refer to them by name - but there's no magic / hidden feature that will do that for you. Of course doing this will make both the client and the server code more complex.

In the majority of cases, I suspect most coders (myself included) would prefer the simpler code resulting from the former option - but it totally depends on your goal.

Have you actually measured/profiled the code/data in question? I ask because this kinda smells of being a premature optimisation (although obviously one cannot truly say, without more context).
The name (especially the 'plz') might be off-putting for some people (i.e. me). A future idea may be to refactor your name (heh).

Best of luck, I hope it takes off!

In practice, the language “standard” is simply whatever dialect is used by the elites.
I support RSS/Atom on my site, but I wouldn't expect anyone else to bother, at this point, unless they are using it to auto-post to facebook or twitter through other services.
American Jews, East Indians, and East Asians excel at academics because they temporarily set aside their cultural differences and learn the correct English grammar and usage. Yeah, there is some ambiguity (such as who vs. whom) but it's nowhere near the same as AAVE. Is that really asking too much
You could say that about anything though.

Just because they are better off now in relative terms, it doesn't justify how much more of the share in terms of land, resources and overall wealth the rich and and elite are taking for themselves.
America Expands Its Freedom of Information Act
This is more than a little bit silly. Duck.com used to be owned by On2 Technologies which made video compression software. Google acquired On2 and got duck.com as part of the deal. It's not like they went out and just bought the domain. And they definitely didn't spend $106 MILLION on a video compression company just to get the domain. This is entirely legal.

> I don't think schools should start teaching street talk.

Why not? It would help understanding how many people talk.

This kind of snobbery can be seen in Canada. Many English-speaking Canadians have to take some years of French schooling. However, due to whatever the opposite of "cultural Marxism" (edit: okay, the opposite of "nihlism", per your own edit) is, English Canadians are mostly taught the prestige dialect of France, which is not nearly as useful to Canadians as learning how Quebeckers actually talk would be. Sure, the prestige French dialect isn't completely useless either, but without this linguistic snobbery we could be doing a lot better to understand each other.
Native speakers do make mistakes, but a persistent “mistake” which is an ordinary feature of how many people speak, is perhaps not such a thing at all.
I'm not sure this is the name to use if you want people of only average political commitment to use your app. Although at least it's a striking name.

Cool link. It's interesting to see that it seems to be a dialect that is not based on geography, but based on race and income.

On a side note, as a non native English speaker, the double negative always sounds really awful to me :) You can call it dialect all you want, it just doesn't make any sense.
Seeing how the general populous deemed George Bush a "trustworthy" president I'm really starting to worry about the judgement of the common man.
I would leave Britain, and so will many others. Lower the bar on corp tax and you create more companies creating more jobs for people, increasing tax revenue and the wellfare of those in work (and by that the wellfare of those not in work).

That's how it's suppsoed to work. What actually happens is they lobby for evebn more favourable tax arrangment and deregulation, for weaker worker protections and focus primarily on short-term returns for their shareholders at the expense of all else.

The whole 'job creator' myth needs to be put to rest. It's straigh out of trickle-down Reaganomics. Corps are self-serving, psychopathic and amoral and cannot be trusted or expected to behave with a social conscience.
