When uneducated immigrants seek social services, I don't look at them in a negative light. Dismissing them just like that, however, comes to me as too elitist.

There is a certain feeling of frustration that comes from doing an unfamiliar and difficult technical task when you aren't at all used to doing such things. My wife's best explaination of it is that it feels like gears in your mind are grinding without oil: not moving smoothly and generating a lot of heat. I infer that many other people feel this way about web hosting, or services like weebly would not exist.

The real problem is a lack of backup. There should be a service that you can pay to have it periodically crawl your website and generate a zip file, so the real problem is that he didn't use that.

IMO museum curators should embrace that blurriness rather than fight it; it provides for interesting stories like the ones told in the article (I just love the party aftermath being cleaned up as rubbish); and that kind of misshappenstances at museums has become a trope all by itself.

Science museums have certainly followed that route, and I think they're better for it; becoming interactive makes for better learning. For those really valuable objects that could be damaged by willing interaction, there should be some kind of physical protection anyway.
> And it all depends far too much on domestic demand, which even after 2008 is excessively funded by consumer credit. This is unsustainable in the long run.
> So we need to shift our economy towards a more export-led growth strategy, based on higher productivity employment. Fortunately, this will prove eminently possible as a part of a Brexit-based economic strategy. Indeed, far from being the risky option that many have claimed, Brexit gives us many tools to deal with the very serious economic challenges that the country will face in the coming decades.

I completely agree with this, and I would go further and throw in some manufacturing in there.

This strategy is not dependant on Brexit. Britain has been pursuing a service-led, non-manufacturing strategy for the last 20-30 years which, I believe, is a mistake. Real economic prosperity comes from making or growing things. Service economies are like building software based on someone else's platform, you benefit from the platforms reach but cede control.
As someone who is disabled and when I was younger was called retarded, I want to be called disabled. For one, people have a particular way of saying retarded that's very insulting. I was okay with the traditional term at the time, handicapped. That describes things in a far less insulting fashion.

People tended to use retarded as referring to one's mental abilities and assumed that if you have a physical disability, you have a mental one. That was the biggest problem with retarded.
If you think the people of Germany follow orders, then go to Tokio. You might be surprised at how much stricter a population can follow rules. Even visiting the neighbor Switzerland will reveal a more trust-based society where people follow common rules and shun those that don't. Take their garbage disposal system for instance. But you're right that the population of Germany is more disciplined compared to many other societies.

For me something is art if I would find it put near a dumpster and would think "Wow, who would throw this out? That's an amazing piece of work!". And by this definition, I can assure you, a large part of the modern "art" wouldn't qualify - when put in a dumpster, it would be indistinguishable from trash.
As a web dev/tech freelancer, I come across typical end-users very frequently and you would be _amazed_ at the amount of ignorance about the issues like domains, hosting etc. prevailing amongst them.

While people like us (you, me, and all others here) take such things in our stride, the scenario is vastly different so far as average end-users at large are concerned.
Actually, one could argue that something is "artistic" if it has the unique property that nobody at all finds it "artistic"...

I recommend the works by Arthur Danto (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Danto) for very interesting definitions of "art".

Pokemon Go is arguably the first killer app for collaborative Augmented Reality. It shows app developers that there is serious public interest in the 'right' type of AR and will no doubt open the doors for serious monetization attempts.

If astronomy includes the possible detection of previously unknown sizeable objects in space which might put an end to our activities on this planet, then I don't agree. Climate alarmism (that's not intended as a perjorative word: it's sensible to be alarmed if there is something to be alarmed about) is based on the validity or not of statistical conclusions regarding climate data. Objects in space can and do collide with Earth if that's their trajectory. No theory or hypothesis is required - just data.

As the original documentary laid out this week, one of the biggest motivations for them to get to the UK is that once they have asylum, it's far easier for them to get their dependents (the entire family) to move to the UK legally, for free.

FWIW, I find Gmane much easier to use than Google Groups. It doesn't take ages to asynchronously load via JS and then hijack common browser behavior or make it harder to use the browsers history mechanism to return to where the tab was closed. Gmane's servers are slow, but the interface is much easier to use because it's a simple design.
Is that true though ? It seems to be a recurrent theme, both in the press talking about benefit tourism in the UK and from apparently the believes of the immigrant like those desperately trying to cross the Channel tunnel at Calais.

However, I'm a European living in the UK. About all areas I have looked seem to pay less or way less than France, Belgium or northern countries.

For example, unemployment benefits are a fraction of the one in France. State pension is a joke. As soon as you start earning an average salary, child/housing benefit are pretty much inexistent, especially considering that stuff like nurseries cost 3 to 4 times more than equivalent private nurseries in France or Belgium. Public school do not offer facilities for children outside hours and start later and close earlier than on the continent, meaning you need to "go private" for that too while it is free in both France and Belgium. Your workplace rights are laughable: after 8 years my wife would get the same redundancy package than a new starter in the same company in France. The list goes on and on.

What exactly is so amazing about the UK benefits that is worth the trouble compared to staying in France ?

The real stuff that the UK has going for it is that you pay less tax, there are more work opportunities and in big cities, there is less employment discrimination. But that means that immigrant come to work not as benefit leeches as they are picture in the news.

Although I happened to learn OCaml first, I am actually arguing that learning SML is a better way to learn the concepts behind tremendously more complex and less user-friendly languages like OCaml and Haskell. I don't know if I'd say it's a shortcut, but it's pretty natural to learn by studying a simpler (perhaps historic) topic before studying a more modern and complex one.
> People keep ignoring the fact that you can't just release data like that all over the place, because researchers often do not have the IP rights to do so in a general way

While I agree that this is a problem in the current copyright law, there is still a way for researchers to "circumvent" this copyright restriction without violating the scientific principle of independent verifiability that I outlined in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12099720:

Let's say that the data is generally distributed by the owner in a standard format, say, a zip archive, which we will name foo.zip here (for simplicity). If you can't distribute the data itself, you write into your research paper a short explanation of the license terms that disallow the distribution of foo.zip. But you also add a notice what the SHA256 sum of foo.zip is. If some person who has also access to the data (say, from another university) has interest that the research result can be checked independently, they will leak foo.zip somewhere (I can imagine that sci-hub would be willing to provide server space for this).

This way access for independent verifiers can be "assured" without the original researchers having to violate copyright law.
The difference is priorities. By separating them, your OS can be fast and featureful, and your sandbox can be secure. Better yet if there are several competing, portable sandboxes, so you can choose the best OS and best sandbox separately.

I'm not sure that the insurance companies would agree with that sentiment. :)

Certainly, in such museums focussed on interactivity and a child-friendly experience, this is the (commendable) modus operandi, and it works exceptionally well.

Contemporary artists and curators at modern art museums, however, seem to have been pushing for less physical demarcation around their exhibits. Ground covering installations are sometimes placed right in the path of visitors (who are often caught up in their imagination admiring some other piece of art), with no barrier or warning in place.

With art installations that actually are intended to be interactive, I never feel comfortable interacting with them because of this air of ambiguity. Doesn't help that this may have very well been the artist's intent in the first place…

The Value of Copypasting
Well, but the vast majority is carrying the decision by following the fork / rollback, right? If just 5% of there network does the fork, shouldn't the 95% be able to continue with the old version (and the fork would become effectively worthless)? At least that's how it would work with bitcoin.

If the system allows 5% of users (or computing power) to make arbitrary changes, then that is the problem.

If I'm correctly informed, the cause was not a bad investment, but a bug/loophole in the contract that allowed people to steal etherium. (Of course you could take the code-legalistic position and say whatever the original code did, was the contract, even with bugs, and if people invested, they accepted these bugs as part of the agreement. But then I raise you this: the features of etherium that allow people to make changes to contracts are also part of the agreement! So if you say they shouldn't have invested in a buggy contact, tough luck, then I can say tough luck you invested in a malleble system :-))

If there was a bug (unexpected functionality) in the specification, then a certain quorum of users should be able to change the spec to match group expectations, even retroactively. I consider that to be a feature, not a bug.
Yes, exactly, in fact I thought he has been caught because of that, not about the credit card thing...

An easy way is to use an IMAP client like the macOS Mail.app that syncs raw email + metadata in .mbox format. You can find the files in ~/Library/Mail/V4. Combine with Time Machine for extra backups in case you’re worried that your mail server decides to clear your local copy over IMAP.
I've been having a long-running private discussion with the author about this. My anti-modularity stance: http://akkartik.name/post/modularity. However this is a sane use of modularity. My point is mostly that just adding more module boundaries without thought isn't always a net win. So I guess I'd change the statement you quoted to "the right separation of concerns." And the right separation takes trial and error to discover.

I love how notebooks allow the mixing of code and output and support incremental development by letting you choose which cells to execute. But I find the semantics horrible. Each time you execute a cell you do so in an environment that depends on your entire history and cannot be figured out by simply reading the notebook. I wish for a environment which would have the same semantics as a script but which would snapshot the environment at the entry to each cell so that when a cell is modified execution does not have to resume at the beginning. Even better if downstream data dependencies are tracked so that after modifying and reexecuting a cell we know which downstream results have become stale. Does such an environment exist?
Only the endings, for example the feminine form of Novák becomes Nováková. When moving to a country where there's no distinction, one usually stays by the masculine form in the official documents, regardless of gender. For example, an American-born daughter of Polish immigrants inherits and uses Kowalski as her last name, but if she were born in Poland, she would use the form Kowalska (and her son would be called Kowalski, etc.)

I would respectfully request that you watch the series of programmes the BBC has just shown highlighting the journeys these people undertake - indeed the guy in question was in the last episode, shown here in the UK on Wednesday. His testimony of his treatment in Syria was heartbreaking. It's easy to say that these people are this and that, and that we wouldn't do what they have from the comfort of our homes. The reality of it, when subjected to the same treatment would probably be quite different. And yes, I live in the UK, and am glad he made it.
> and he was already in France. (what is he fleeing from in France?)

You seem to have no idea how the asylum system works.

If this was a valid reason for not getting to seek asylum in the UK, then the UK would for all practical purposes be exempt from having to accept asylum seekers.

As others have pointed out, his main reason for wanting to seek asylum in the UK, is probably that his english is good, which makes it easier and faster for him to be a productive citizen there than in France.

Most people involved with this is aware of the fact that there's problems with the asylum system. If you think this is so awful, how about you propose an alternative system that distributes asylum seekers evenly and fairly across industrialized nations in a way that doesn't require them to cross borders illegaly. We sure could use more people who think about solutions, rather than pointing out problems that everyone is aware of.

To be honest, I used AR mode for the first few days but I turned it off eventually. It had bugs on my Nexus 5x where it would do some weird stuff to the live preview from the camera, like stretching the video and other artifacts. It also drained my battery significantly faster. Finally, it's just plain easier to catch Pokemon with AR mode turned off, which kind of sucks since that's the killer feature.

I'd like to know how many users have AR mode turned off. Because while it is a fantastic part of the app, making it more immersive, if most users don't actually have it turned on it means that AR still isn't there yet for smartphones.
