It's not illegal. The issue is that any vehicle transporting troops, armed troops, is a valid military target. They aren't meant to hide amongst civilians. A military aircraft pretending to be a civilian is daring the enemy to start shooting at civilian aircraft. Not illegal, just wrong. You would never see a US naval vessel identify itself on radio as a cruise ship, but that is essentially what the B2 does on every combat mission.

I think jedmeyers' point was that it's possible to have conflicts without it officially being designated a war - and he/she was holding Crimea as an example of such. There's still rebel paramilitaries in Southern Mexico who have declared war against the state (e.g. Zapatista Army of National Liberation) - but it's not "officially" a war (whatever that means)

Then again, he's not some comfortable first-world programmer who makes $100K a year and enjoys talking about infosec and opsec as a fun diversion, he's a guy living in a repressive third-world dictatorship who has put his entire life on the line for the human rights of others and probably has little to no computer science or infosec education, so, maybe cut the guy some fucking slack.

Most languages have a built in type for a dynamic array, but many of them lack a built-in queue. I have a favorite trick for a quick-and dirty queue in those languages. You need an array (initially empty) and an integer (initially zero). To add to the queue, add to the array. To get the front of the queue, just do array[int]. And finally, to remove from the queue, simply increment the integer. The advantages of this approach are simplicity and speed: each operation takes amortized constant time. The obvious disadvantage is that it's potentially a major memory leak. For instance, if you try to do breadth-first search of a tree using this queue, your memory usage will be proportional to the size of the tree. How much worse than optimal is this? It depends on the tree. If it's a complete binary tree, you've doubled your memory usage, which might not be too bad. But if the tree is a path, then you use linear memory, whereas a proper queue would only use O(1) memory.
it suggests that there is a place to focus with great leverage. For that alone it's a valuable contribution.
The claim of the book is that you, as a regular investor, do not have access to better-than-market returns, not that they are not possible. Anyone who can provide better returns will claim the difference for themselves (in fees) rather than pass it on to you. Why would they give you free money?
More like a sonic absorber.

Plasmas are electrical conductors. The electric field of an incident radar wave couples to electrons and ions that compose the plasma and drives currents. This ends up dissipating the radar energy as heat. It's the same result as if the radar hit a poor electrical conductor like carbon-loaded plastic: not much reflection (cause of poor conductivity), but creation of internal currents that dissipate radar energy as heat. It's a resistive dummy load for the radar energy.

This plasma-as-conductor thing can lead to some really interesting antennas. [1] Fill a long plastic tube with an easily ionized gas, and connect the output of your radio transmitter to it. When you want to transmit, ionize the gas column with a high voltage, low current discharge. Voila, you have a nice conductive column to radiate your RF from. Finished with transmission, switch off ionization power. Antenna is then electrically gone. Very important if you're on a battlefield, being hunted by things that can find antennas made out of metal. Your plasma antenna can be there and gone in a millisecond. Phased-array models exist, too.

I read an interview with an indie studio talking about streamers, and in the end they appreciated their presence but resented when the streamers revealed too much of the entire game or did not add enough of their own content. (I think it was the Stanley Parable?)
You could periodically delete the wasted space. I think that if you, say, delete the wasted space when it is equal to the used space, you still still have O(1) amortized time.
VS "15" is just the 15th version of visual studio (well 14 since they skipped 13). Internally there are a lot of folders named xx14 for Visual Studio 2015 (which was VS "14" until it got the name Visual Studio 2015) and the version number of the version I'm running is 14.0.23108.0 which starts with 14.

I agree it's pretty confusing because we're in the 2000s and the version number and the year are similar, but it's consistent and makes some amount of sense.
The GNU Emacs website does a better sales job...which is interesting because unlike this product, GNU does not even need to sell anything. When looking through the website I see Windows 95-ish screenshots, pages that say they have not been updated in over five years, and little description of what it does beyond saying it's like EMACS. No clue at all about why I should use this rather than one of the other free-beer editors out there. And now I read these comments and see it costs $250? Why??

Given that the probability of a new big city on the West Coast is effectively zero, I felt comfortable ignoring real limitations of that plan. In reality, of course, water, seismicity, and erosion put a damper on any attractive hypothetical options.

Active investing serves a valuable purpose.

10 years ago, everyone wanted to be in the hedge fund industry. Today, it's tech startups. Having worked in both fields, you encounter the same folks running from funds to startups.

Hedge fund fees probably move to 1 and 10 over the coming decade, but active investing and price discovery are very valuable. For those willing to do the work, small and midcaps still can generate alpha. However, it will require spending many hours traveling and meeting with management and being engaged in the sector virtually nonstop (trade shows, conferences, reading articles/news).

I think generalist active investing will go away, but sector focused active investing will remain.
i didnt mean that

i think for now every of the big players will create their own apps/boxes - i imagine "prime TV"

at some point the fragmentation will annoy customers so much that they will find ways to combine - but that's in 5-10 years

It just doesn't make sense to transform a city to something its residents don't want because someone else has an aesthetic preference for it to exist somewhere.

Did y'all use it before or after purchasing a home? I ran into Nextdoor while searching for ways to research potential homes, but ran into a verification wall that I didn't feel like bypassing. Had I jumped that hurdle it seemed like it may have been a good way to get a feel for potential neighborhoods.

Why is it so hard for developers to work with non-developers?
I've noticed that it's often very difficult for to work with non-programmers.

* Non-technical people often express doubt about answers provided by programmers.

* Programmers often to have to explain and explain and re-explain or risk sounding condescending if they say anything that even remotely sounds like 'you're not a programmer; you wouldn't understand".

* Non-technical people try to 'help' by Googling stuff and sending links. I've literally had non-technical users email me StackOverflow answers to absolutely unrelated problems, and other stuff like Wikipedia articles that are only tangentially related.

What does HN think about good strategies to avoid feeling stressed out by trying to work collaboratively with non-technical people?
I think the camps might work in some situations, if they are properly run.

The missing ingredient, is 'something to believe in'.

The reason that 'disciplinarian' measures work in the forces, is because you're doing it for a cause much greater, more important than yourself. You have to 'dig deep' to find that. And without a 'cause' - it won't work.

Also - in the forces you can have incredible amounts of responsibility - and responsibility really changes people. You've see the changes when people become parents - well - it's the same in the Navy/Army etc.. Finally - is the amazing cool things you get to do. Travel, jump out of planes, blow things up. etc.

I'm not justifying this necessarily, just pointing out the nature of the changes that often happen.

I doubt this guy would be well suited to the forces, but you never know. A couple of years in the Navy - seeing the world, having some responsibility, might have changed him. But for many of these types, simply finding the right creative outlet might be it.

There are cold plasmas. Some of these "non thermal" plasmas have been used to disinfect wounds. It's odd to see a column of ionized air exiting a tube and impinging on bare skin, but it's one application in development for cold plasmas. [1]

Smoking is legal in the US, but smoking in bars and restaurants is illegal in many places now. I think that strikes a good balance between giving smokers the freedom to smoke while giving non-smokers the freedom to inhale clean air in most places.

I can't tell you how wonderful it was to move from a city that allowed smoking in bars to one that didn't. I used to play in a band and coming home from every show reeking of smoke was awful. The first time I went out in my new city and came home not needing a shower was amazing.
Unfortunately Github's code review is still a far cry from mature review tools like Phab or Gerrit. The code folding in the latter reviewers is always better and leaving inline notes does not apply as individual messages. The reviewee can also more easily reply to each line individually and it is much easier to compare previous diffs.

GH's code review tool doesn't seem useful for diffs longer than 20 lines or so. I'm curious why they've never bothered to address this shortcoming.

There could be a good argument that nothing is Wilderness, and that Wilderness itself - in the US at least, is a 18th-sh century construct, created by a European-leaning philosophy that didn't understand the relationship between the land and the people that were there before them, but were instead bound by the God and Relgion on the idea of almost a second Eden and a Manifest Destiny to take the land which belonged to on one.

In reality all those forests that the original author writes so daringly about were manicured and well-cared for woods, engineered to provide food in the form of nuts and berries, as well as prime hunting ground for big game, say nothing for easily passageway between villages for trade and seasonal migration.

In this perspective man has for a very long time held the spot of curator of so-called, "Wild Lands". It's my opinion that we continue to do so. Not for monetary gain (although there is - the Outdoor Industry isn't that small), but because without it, we all commit suicide, in a very real way.

No. The EZLN (Zapatista Army) surrendered in 1994 and in 1996 there was signed a Peace Accord with them.

The conflict in Colombia isn't ended yet though, the ELN hasn't signed the cease-fire.
You could, but then it's not quite so quick-and-dirty anymore :) The de-queue method goes from "self.i += 1" (Python syntax) to

self.i +=1
if self.i > len(self.a)/2:
self.a[:self.i] = []
self.i = 0

I didn't test the above code, and I am only 50% sure it is bug-free. I'm 99% sure the leaky version is bug-free. Memory leaks are not a bug if I document them, right? ;)

But yes, periodically deleting the wasted space is still easier than trying to do the usual thing with circular buffers and stuff :)

Perhaps this[1] is what you are looking for. 165 credits as himself on different programs. 155 in the last 20 years. Currently in no less than 8 documentary productions that are in stages from post-production to nearing release. For comparison, Neil deGrasse Tyson only has 83 credits as himself[2]. I think that makes a good case that he's a "celebrity" scientist, as I certainly consider Tyson one. Both are on the short list of active scientists that I would expect random people to have at least heard of, even if they aren't sure who they are or where they heard of them.

Note that in most places, those bans aren't justified primarily on protection of non-smoking customers, but were instead removal of exception in existing workplace smoking bans that had excluded bars and restaurants, to protect people working in those places.
>Well, AFAICT there is no mention of any of this in the document. No "promise" or any such thing has been said or implied.

I'm not sure you got the parent's comment. What you wrote about is true -- and that's what's wrong with the document. That it doesn't mention such a promise, not it describe an actual hash table implementation (where collisions are inevitable and should be dealt with).

>Please stick to what the author has actually said rather than what you imagine people are thinking about when reading the document.

Again, the problem is that people sticking with "what the author has actually said" will not learn how hash tables actually work.

>No, it doesn't tell me that at all, because that point is not brought up in the document. But is that how you think most people learn? Using common sense?

Now you're just being contradictory to be contradictory. Or trolling.

Yes, people use common sense to learn -- and to understand what they are learning. How is this not obvious?

>Sure, you think those are the logical contradictions in the readers' minds. Can you actually establish that?

I'm a reader, and immediately jumped to see the same logical contradiction.

Not even sure what you're trying to defend exactly. Sloppy examples?
According to the wiki article on the subject and as outlined by Marr, the answer to most headlines questions are in the negative. Most people will interpret them in the negative. It may be that the set-up is for people to _consider_ the positive, while answering in the negative.
For me its the opposite. I watch the start of a playthough and if I find it interesting, then I get the game, when otherwise I would not have given it a try.

> The entity calling itself "The Islamic State" -- ISIS is an acronym for one English translation of its previous name for itself

I don't really see a big difference between "the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham" and "the Islamic State". They dropped the geographical indicator from their name. They're still there; the name without the geographical indicator is pretty transparently derived from the earlier one. There's nothing about "ISIS" that opposes or conflicts with the "new" name, nor is it even necessary for us to change our name for something according to the whims of someone else.
Lots of other ways to handle it though. They could:

- Have a “lose your turn” approach (toss your case to the bottom of the pile and keep moving the others through, until you cool down).

- Ignore you and restate the question/statement that preceded the contempt of court. If it persists, then escalate.

- Give a fine; $50 ought to dissuade most people from continuing to cause a problem.

In fact, they could do just about anything before sending someone to jail.

And heck, there are times in my career I wish I could have put someone in a box for being too disruptive during a meeting or something. Yet we don’t do that, in part because we’re supposed to be civilized. Maybe the “point” of contempt charges is to maintain order but it really just makes the court look like a spoiled child that goes way overboard when challenged.

>As to it being useless.. the value of content is in its explanation of simple concepts, not in some imagined production-quality requirement that people want to assume it must have.

The value of an explanation of simple concepts is in their simple AND adequate explanation.

You can cut the implementation details, but can't cut essential properties to simplify, because then you're not explaining the original concept at all.
If you're still following, I want to give a more thorough response, since I don't think my other one got to the core of your point.

I think your point is that it's common practice to not mention all kinds of add-ons when listing prices, so there's nothing particularly unusual about Uber doing it, even if we'd prefer everyone to agree to stop doing it.

But even so, I think there's a big difference: in the case of taxes (retail or labor), there's a valid defense: "I don't know tax rates in your municipality", "I don't know how many deductions you have or what your family income is". Even so, when paying a vendor, you know how much you're deducting from their payments for yourself, so you don't really have an excuse for reporting a figure that includes a part that you know you have to personally take out.

The scumminess would be more obvious if Uber e.g. claimed that rides in a certain interval would get a 10% bonus, without also mentioning that they increased their take to cover it all. It would no however, be scumy if they simply failed to mention that "oh, this might push you into a higher tax bracket".
