If he returned, he would probably continue to drink and gamble, and his family would continue to suffer.

> you're endorsing drugging children.

Not just any children, I'm endorsing providing drugs to children who need those drugs. Just as I would endorse giving a child with a headache an appropriate amount of acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Or steroids to a child with severe MS. Or opioids to a child with chronic pain.

Just because the defect is in the brain and not the muscles or nerves or elsewhere doesn't make it less of a treatable defect. Or less worthy of treatment.
I think that most of the concern comes from the fact that Pinterest has had no problem doing this in the past [1]. While it may not be the plan at this moment, things can change quickly, and with any change in a system like this, people are going to naturally worry since they've seen it happen countless times in the past.

Congratulations on the acquisition, and I wish you the best going forward.

Those are all great, subtle distinctions to make. They're also completely different arguments from, and not at all conveyed by "lol poor people die from lacking health care in the US but not Europe".
Oh! I didn't realize that.
Yes, the effect is very dramatic over the last 10-20 years, but I suspect it's been hard to document. It's clear in terms of some expectations: a generation ago, it was expected that children would learn the alphabet in kindergarten, but today children are expected to enter kindergarten knowing the alphabet. So many kindergarten classes spend a few weeks reviewing the alphabet before rushing into words, leaving behind some children that didn't get pre-school before the age of 5.

http://www.npr.org/sections/ed/2016/01/08/462279629/why-kind...
"In 2010, prekindergarten prep was expected. One-third more teachers believed that students should know the alphabet and how to hold a pencil before beginning kindergarten.
Everyone should read. In 1998, 31 percent of teachers believed their students should learn to read during the kindergarten year. That figure jumped to 80 percent by 2010."

http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/inside-school-research/2014/0...
".The percentage of teachers who reported their students never received physical education more than tripled, from 14 percent to 45 percent"

'“When we require specific skills to be learned by every child at the same time, that misses a basic idea in early childhood education,” she says, “which is that there’s a wide range to learning everything in the early years.”'

Meanwhile in Scandinavia children don't even begin formal education until they're 7.
I've got moderate-severe ADHD and I can tell you no amount of societal re-structuring could help me nearly as much as medication. You got the base symptoms down (though I don't have the hyperactive component) but you're missing the nature of the inattention. If something interests me, I can dive into it really deep because my attention is focused like a laser beam. But having that happen is rare and fickle, most of the time (off medication) I can't focus on anything, even things I like. It's a horrible experience, wanting to read a book about science but you can't so you just watch some TV and feel bad about yourself.
Sorry, sweetie, what were you saying?

Heh, yeah. I've said that a few too many times. I'm just glad she understands.
Tesla unveils 100 kWh battery for Model S, Model X cars
I believe this only works for broadcast packets. When you've chosen to connect to a wifi network, then your real mac address gets used. It would be a nightmare for shops that use mac filtering and other tools that expect standard mac behavior if the mac was randomized all the time. What Apple is doing is stopping broadcast packets being a unique value to track on.

The 'global event' is a really interesting idea to me - it's easier to meet & chat to new people when you've just had a shared experience, more so if it's co-op rather than competitive.

Wow, if Niantic had an event on the waterfront, and they happened to get city permission so when the sea monster is defeated it triggers a local fireworks display, that could be really interesting - and newsworthy. And no doubt the local cafes and food vendors would be selling out again afterwards too if you can create an event like that....
So then the kill ratio wasn't 150:1 on 9/11? What (among points I made) is that replying to?
This last bit is an interesting statement,

"While the P100D Ludicrous is obviously an expensive vehicle, we want to emphasize that every sale helps pay for the smaller and much more affordable Tesla Model 3 that is in development. Without customers willing to buy the expensive Model S and X, we would be unable to fund the smaller, more affordable Model 3 development."
It's worthwhile to note that LLVM's JIT is now far more mature, and there's been substantial work on GC support.

Back when Unladen Swallow was being worked on, I'm unaware of anything except OS X's OpenGL implementation using LLVM's JIT support—and that ultimately was very different code being JIT'd (they essentially just inline a sequence of interpreter states, so their source IR comes from Clang).

Nowadays… I'm not even going to try listing even dynamically typed language VMs that use LLVM for JITing.
Python has undefined behavior because it's implementations are written in languages that do. Every implementation of it is written in a language with undefined behavior such as C, or in languages which are themselves implemented in languages with undefined behavior (e.g. Jython, which runs on the JVM, which is written in C and C++). There is no guarantee that an implementation of Python is bug-free, so there is no guarantee that any Python problem is free of undefined behavior.

So, if you write a Python library in C or in Python, you'll have undefined behavior either way. Undefined behavior is not a good criteria for choosing which language to use.
Nannying is just one aspect of a more pervasive underlying cultural problem: a lot of people here seem to feel entitled to impose their opinions and judgment on others. Not just share them, but actually impose them.
They can when the mistake is too obvious to be overlooked. Pretend for a moment that this article is your introduction to the poorly named HaloLens. The distinction between AR and VR is incredibly important to a story about the thing's sensors DSP. AR and VR use sensors very differently, and a VR chip is going to be much less impressive than an AR chip.
Completely removing religion and pc correctness and cultural obligations from my life fairly early on resulted in a very light weight approach to life and the removal of inner chatter bullshit. Do what makes sense to you to get the best result in the purpose of life you have chosen. Basic morality has already been ingrained in us through evolution and is quite adequate by itself. Why we then we must slap words on it to allow it to be spread through the consciousness of people like a bad virus is beyond me. It just causes cognitive dissonance as everyone is not the same in their pursuit of happiness.
People aren't treating ADHD to make children "normal".

They're treating ADHD to reduce the risk of accidental death; homicide; suicide; and drug or alcohol dependency.
That's been Tesla's business plan for quite some time, use luxury cars to fund the company to mass production. It isn't news, but it does seem out of context.
Isn't the Epi-Pen an example of what happens when a market isn't free? IIRC they have a monopoly provided by...the government.
> Tesla's Model S is now the third-fastest car in the world, going from 0 to 60 MPH in just 2.5 seconds. That's only just slower than the Ferrari LaFerrari and the Porsche 918 Spyder

The Porsche also does

> 0-200 km/h (120 mph) in 7.2 seconds, 300 kilometres per hour (190 mph) in 19.9 seconds and a tested top speed of 218 miles per hour (351 km/h).

Plus it can corner.

Third fastest in the world seems a bit of a stretch. 0-60 acceleration, sure.
Microeconomics is less hand wavy sure, they have clear cut formulas and solid maths, right? Too bad microeconomics is complete shit, and has far less predictive power than even the most simple macroeconomic models. Microeconomics is what brings us simplistic assumptions about behaviour, and assumes 100% rationality. And then when microeconomics actually attempts to become useful, with things like indifference curves and non-cooperative games, it becomes hand-wavy, because what's more hand-wavy than arbitrary numbers for preferences? Behavioural economics came into being because of how bad microeconomics is.
Maybe you don't give them copies of your keys, but, don't your friends even run down to grab a food delivery or something when they're at your place? Or run down to the store in front with your key, etc?
I think you missed the articles main point about how VCs use the information and experiences that they have. It's not just that they're better at picking good investments, they are somewhat better but as you correctly point out information is becoming more and more available so others will be able to catch up. The real value of their experiences is that after they invest they continue to help the company succeed with advice, introductions and a million other things. As an entrepreneur that's the value I'm looking for when selecting an investor. Even if you've read everything online and know with 100% certainty which companies are going to succeed you've still got to get them to take your money or your information is worthless. Entrepreneurs will only ever take money from a person like that if they're desperate, if they can get money from a "real" investor who'll bring value beyond just the money.

In short, I think you're claim that we're going to see an evening of the playing field is wrong. If anything I think we'll see even more concentrated results as more and more people decide that anyone can be a VC and fail.

The original title says "quickest" not "fastest." They're two very different claims, and only one of them is remotely true here.
Sure, but they do not have the right to retroactively declare you as having been trespassing, nor even to preemptively put up a "no photography" sign and have you arrested for trespassing if you disobey it.

The entire point of protocols is to precisely define the terms of communication. The status code is '200 OK', not '200 OK/Asterisk'. But of course if lawlers didn't force themselves into the situation, they'd be out of jobs.

As an aside, I'd really like to see a browser plugin that would scrape sites in the normal course of access, storing the proceeds in a distributed public database.

GDP is not the same as sales/revenue of a business.

GDP measures the value created in economy.

GDP can be calculated in different ways but they add up to the same value.
GDP is sum of all gross value added and final consumption minus value of intermediate consumption. Alternatively it's the sum of primary incomes distributed by resident producer units.

If you manufacture a trinket that is sold for consumer for $100 but it costs $90 to manufacture, only $10 is added to GDP.

Sorry I'm late here. Yes those are different, given the differences between the software running in the cloud and running on customers' own servers.
I hate when apps I like shut down.

David was pretty open in the post you linked to: "Though the team will live on, we’ll be focused on building within the core Pinterest product."
This latest shutdown inspired me to write a blog post[1] in response. It's a shame that developers feel compelled to adopt a scorched earth policy when they no longer wish to support their products. So-called "indie" apps are often marketed as the beautiful, wholesome alternative to grimy corporate or open-source software, but how could I possibly rely on an indie app for essential tasks like note-taking if it's just going to disappear out from under me in a few years? The idea that software has a lifespan controlled by the developer is, in my opinion, toxic to the market.

Brent: if you read this, I really hope you decide to go through with open-sourcing the app, like you mentioned on Twitter. Regardless of the age of the codebase, it would be an incredible thing to dig through (and maybe even maintain).

Only barely. I supposedly get a /56 up here in Seattle, but prefix delegation will give me a /60 half the time and a "/59" half the time. The latter completely breaks every router I've thrown at it (pfsense, Cisco ASA, and tomatoUSB), and even with a supposedly-open support ticket I cannot get ahold of a Comcast Engineer for love nor money.
Memory access time is a constant multiplier, whether it hits or misses the cache. There can be a big difference in that constant depending on the access pattern, but it is still considered a constant factor.

Yes, random access (missing the cache every time) may be 100x slower than sequential (hitting the cache almost always), but if you're iterating through an array twice as large, it will still be 100x slower.
I didn't read the entire article and I do not have kids but to me the world seems more hostile than when I was a kid but I guess that's expected.

People seem much more opportunistic and are proud of it when I point out it's not a compliment to be called such a thing.

Overall maturity seems really low I mean these days people act immature compared to when I was a kid. I don't think I'd see adults in their 20, 30 or 40s chasing Pokemons in the 1970s.

These days people swear every second word around kids, seniors, just in public gatherings as if it's nothing I'm sure I'll be mocked for thinking that's wrong. Then again breasts are censored on TV but not when I was a kid. Although contrasting that every now TV show didn't have "this show may have words or situations that may offend someone" warnings after commercial break.

Then you have the "everyone is a winner" or "you can do anything" drilled into kids in school I think that stunts maturity. If kids are going to be left alone they need to know sometimes they can screw up big time and it's their fault.

Of course it can! You won't be able to defeat even the simplest attempt on anti-scraping based on statistical data. Like even keeping a list of individual rate-limits for /16 subnets of actual visiting users and you are in trouble.
I was about to quote that myself. While it's true that their luxury models help fund newer models, it's rather odd to state that in a press release. It comes across as: "Please pay too much for this vehicle and help subsidize someone else's future purchase."
That's not the driver, that's just the example.

However, according to the style guide, camelcase is preferred, and the compiler is supposed to generate language-native names with the correct case [1].

One thing the terrible years of SOAP and WSDL should have taught people is that generated stubs are awful to use if they go against the grain of the host language.

0-60 is what matters. Top speed is not a bottleneck anymore unless you are track racing. It has a 0-60 that is comparable to a Bugatti Veyron.
I electrocuted myself three times as a child. IIRC, that last one was even unintentional!
Very true. The HN title mislead me and I thought there was no way it was true (which it isn't)

Even the "quickest" is up for debate since this only measures 0-60 time, but I think it is leaps and bounds more accurate than "fastest".
Not great, but I think it is to match function from the protocol definition. Inside that function you can see "normal" looking python function get_feature.
still would prefer that would do more to extend the range instead of this fascination with acceleration, or better put a dick wagging contest.

Get me good gasoline like car range then come back and wave your dick Musk, oh and thrown in five to ten minute charging.

Until then I really do not care anymore. GM will beat you to market with a consumer friendly priced car and that is what matters. You helped kick start it but all that comes out recently is more speed, yawn. Can't use it and damn well can't do it over and over as the car gets slower as the charge goes down.
Children's education has always been dominated by women. I think the problem is more that young children are suddenly being held to a standardized curriculum in which they are expected to learn to read in kindergarten (instead of 1st grade) while their recess time is curtailed or cut entirely. Then when the boys or the youngest quartile of 5-year-olds have trouble sitting still or focusing on desk work, it becomes pathologized.
As an aside, these sorts of comments about the needs of a "scientific programmer" always irk me.

I've been doing scientific software development now for 20 years. I do non-numerical scientific computing, originally structural biology, then bioinformatics, and now chemical informatics, the last dominated by graph theory.

I rarely use NumPy and effectively never the languages you mentioned. Last year on one project I did use a hypergeometric survival function from SciPy, then re-implemented it in Python so I wouldn't have the large dependency for what was a few tens of lines of code.

Biopython, as another example, has almost no dependencies on NumPy, and works under PyPy.
> The emitted code might have lots of "|0"s in it, but I don't see many people complaining about the beauty of their C compiler's generated object code

What are the performance implications of that? It's basically adding an extra operation. Also, having been one to dive into intermediate assembly from time to time, there certainly are people who complain about the obtuseness of object code. Particularly since the generated object code is (out-of-order execution notwithstanding) how the CPU is going to actually execute the instructions.

> the lack of native anything-other-than-integers

Um, what? C has native floating-point types on every platform with an IEEE-754-compliant FPU, and probably on some that don't as well. Pointers are also not integers, though bad programmers frequently coerce them into such because most compilers will let them.
I have a custom X-TOS header in all of my http/https requests that states that the company who owns rights to the website my request is sent to and replies with data owes me:

1. Total privacy, they will not track me activity on their website, including any logs.

2. They will send me a cashier's check for $1,000 for each byte that they send to me.

3. They will provide me with Mana Sakura's cell phone number.

I'm still waiting for checks and a phone number.
They're the same parent. The drug-addict parent is the working-parent is the drug-addict parent. The drug-addict house is the working-parent house is the drug-addict house.

Do you still feel the child is in more danger if left unattended by the drug-addict parent leaving to buy drugs versus the working parent leaving to work? How about the drug-addict parent leaving to work versus the working parent leaving to buy drugs?
If you add up the numbers in the wikipedia chart, it's actually 2310, which I round up to 2500 to simplify the math. Either way, these are "household" numbers more dependant on the definition of household. I'd stick to the more solid numbers per capita for the entire country.
I personally disagree and coming entirely from my own personal experience - the nannying comes from a stereotypical, overprotective stay-at-home-parent.

It is {thing} the parent would never in a million years let their kids do (generally due to a perceived risk) and therefore other parents are actively endangering their kids if they let their kid do {thing}. Whether or not the risk exists and whether or not some small amount of risk is "better for the development of the child" (eg: independence/navigational skills developed by being able to walk to/from school unattended)

My own mother is one of those overprotective judging types. She'd never report to CPS unless it was clear-cut endangering the child (eg: physically beating them/doing hard drugs). But she still looks down on the neighbors for letting their kids play in the front lawn. The street being dangerous - kids should only play in the back yard! And only under adult supervision. My mother refuses to use a babysitter (even family) lest they let her children do something she would consider "too dangerous" or "stupid". I've gotten into a few arguments with her how I think that is doing more harm than good but they're not my kids so I don't have a say in it.

Do I think some aspects of the parenting some of those children receive might potentially deserve some examination? Quite possibly. Is it this aspect? Not as much.
