It's really not clear why and how one does become a pedophile, that said the FBI was going after the producers and dealers of child pornography not the consumers.

For the most part the consumers are being left out of major prosecutions, one can also make an argument that blocking all sources of CP might increase sexual assault cases involving children if the users cannot get their relief that way.

But this overall isn't a clear cut case.
Fishing for them as a kid, they were notorious for playing dead, then jumping out of the bucket and waddling back down the bank. Smart fish.
So you didn't read any of the stories linked in the comment you replied to? First one, top of the page:

* "giving you more opinionated resets like box-sizing: border-box". About fucking time.
The article isn't making any claims about retiring to Manhattan causing increased lifespan. It isn't even intended as a scientific article at all. I suspect many here only read the headline? It's one man's personal essay on their decision to retire to Manhattan and their enjoyment of it.

[Tl;dr: The use of "long life" in the title (probably not even chosen by the author) is figurative, not literal.]
I hope it is not stupid. I won't fit inside the university system at this point. They would make me take courses on subjects I already know which is a waste. I have about 20 hours on the weekend I can use towards accomplishing a class and I will have minimal waste since my curriculum is tailored directly for me. Of course it is only because I already wasted a decade learning math poorly that I know what I want to know and what I need to know to know it ;)
I have no numbers, but I'd agree the use of contractor forces has expanded. However, it clearly was an emerging trend already during the Clinton era, and even before that.

One of the authors, Zhangyang Wang, just wrote this on his personal page: "We have discussed and decided to work on a software package release, perhaps accompanying it with a more detailed technical report in the future. Once the software package is ready, we will update everybody."

You have to be more active than just stumbling across it. If you stumble onto CP accidentally and either report it to the police (only) or delete it and show no one, you're fine. Read the USC if you're curious about the details, but no, you can't get busted just because you ran into it.

Entrapment only comes into play if you convince someone to commit a crime they weren't already predisposed to commit. So if you give them a link that says "here's CP" and they download half the site and add it to their collection, it's hard to argue that the cops made you collect CP. In general, if all the police did is provide you a chance to commit a crime and you did so, you were busted, not entrapped.

I suggest this as an entertaining introduction to the law on the concept: http://lawcomic.net/guide/?p=633

> state sponsored and sanctioned pedophile ring.

A child pornography ring. I have yet to hear any evidence of FBI participation in physical abuse, new physical abuse. They seem to have allowed preexisting material to be re-shared. If anything new was uploaded during this time we would have heard about child abuse arrests. A "pedophile ring" has a very different connotation. Both are bad, but one is a very different type of evil.

Okay, so we're supposed to avoid function allocations like the plague, and using bitfields to represent sets of data. They 80's called, they want their optimizations back.

Using bitfields, in particular, is a heavy sacrifice in clarity for relatively few wins.

As for function allocations, internal functions can be hidden by binding the actual function to the return value of a closure that instantiates both the main and internal functions, and returns the main. You can't get rid of the cost of functions in the general case, though: a function's lexical environment has to be recreated each time the function is called (otherwise, all the variables are what C calls "static"), and JS's object semantics mean you can't just make one function, and rebind it to the appropriate parent lexical environment at call time (I have no idea if that's a useable optimization, but it occurs as a way to cut down on allocations) although you could bind the function code to multiple function objects with different parent lexical environments, which would largely accomplish the same thing (but now I'm just thinking out loud).

If you really need these optimizations, go ahead, use them, but don't take these tips unreservedly, and use them in your next project.
Reva Forth (Windows/Mac/Linux)[1] is cool but how about a Forth that does not require an OS?
1. No Plan9/BSD/etc.

The true beauty of Forth to me is the relative ease with which one can boot into a Forth REPL and start controlling hardware, without an "OS".

The idea is a computer with APL as its "OS". The project at kparc.com is closer to this idea than the one at cosy.com. What is evident in both cases that this idea has survived. And that's good.
As imgabe said, a lot of older families (both in age and amount of time living in Manhattan), at least in the Upper West Side, have rent control, are in low income housing, or something similar.

If you ever walk around the Upper West Side, farther away from the park, you'll see a ton big, tall apartment complexes. Huge ones with hundreds of families, if not more. I doubt everyone there makes the mid or high $100ks it takes to rent an apartment there now as a new resident.
Response in this thread seems rather contrasting with response to the similar Australian operation (Argos). I may not be grasping the differences tho
Bikes are just like any other stolen item. They typically end up with brokers who warehouse and distribute these goods in ways that are hard to scrutinize. The problem is that there will always be crackheads and there will always be sketchy people that willing to transact stolen goods. Its like a cosmic-scale version of wack-a-mole.

The best way to deal with bike theft is for owners to get wise about how they store and lock their bikes. Some amount of common sense about bike choice helps too. If you can afford a $3000 bike you can also afford a secondary $100 bike that doesn't make bike thieves salivate while you're grocery shopping.
No, economics still applies because we only have a finite amount of resources—funding, equipment, officers—and we need to distribute them intelligently to cover all the functions we expect from law enforcement. It wouldn't make sense for a small police department to spend $1 million on bike thefts which add up to $10,000 stolen a year (and nobody injured/killed): it would be a terrible use of tax dollars and would probably require neglecting other police duties.

Even though government service is not run for profit, it still has to deal with scarcity, so economic and financial considerations still apply.

You're talking about extremely successful global companies - perhaps catering to the needs of their customers is something that sells more vehicles.

At least the major German manufacturers regally outsell the competition in EU because they actually let people choose what kind of car and equipment suits them. Being shoved down a few lanes Apple style is a common complaint for Asian manufacturers here ("Want that active cruise control? Tough luck, it's +8000EUR and you MUST get leather seats and bunch of other crap as well!" type deals).
As opposed to the illustration of the article, one needs to note that child pornography includes a photo, a drawing or a 3D CGI representing anyone below 18 years old. Given the recipient rarely has the ID card on file, it's hard to prove it to the judge, even if the porn model was 22. Not even talking about age fabrication, which turns unsuspecting viewers into felons.

I wonder how well the distinction is applied, or far this can be pushed by the FBI to take down a someone.

On the other hand, needless to say that actual child porn is disgusting.

The blog post for the first Alpha lists a couple of major changes compared to Bootstrap 3 http://blog.getbootstrap.com/2015/08/19/bootstrap-4-alpha/
Tested and looks like compatibility is broken with offsets , changes to btn sizes, label margins and looks like custom style for select form elements has changed or removed.

I think its best not to use this in any projects until its out of beta.
SpaceX did three kinds of flights:

1. Launch contracts for paying customers where mission success was defined as "unharmed payload to correct orbit".

2. Test/demo missions with mass simulator instead of payload where mission success was defined as "unharmed payload to correct orbit" (two missions: Falcon 1 Flight 4 [0] and Falcon 9 Flight 1 [1]).

3. Rocket landing development flights with Grasshopper where mission success was defined as advancing the ability to land the booster.

SpaceX did R&D on all flights (for example they unsuccessfully tried parachute recovery), but for all flights of Falcon 1 and Falcon 9 (not Grasshopper), they always stated that mission success is to get the customer's payload unharmed to the correct orbit, or to demonstrate the ability to get the customer's payload unharmed to the correct orbit. If they defined mission success as anything else, a potential customer might think SpaceX would sacrifice the payload to advance SpaceX's own goals (like recoverability R&D), and this customer would not fly with SpaceX.

I don't. I see a lot of IRC users on HN and other forums. Slack seems semi-common internal to orgs, but IRC seems to be by far the most active realtime communication medium used by devs externally.

People liking IRC is a reasonable conclusion to draw.
Could also be easily a case of being overly qualified of them not even taking the application seriously because if some one sent a CV that looks like his to any entry level tech support / sales support position they would most likely assume it's a gag.

Overall hiring overqualified people is a problem, they might never be happy and they can easily undermine the structure of a company even unintentionally.

This is like hiring some one like Wozniak to do entry level programming at a company hell undermine everyone from the team leader upto the CTO just for being who he is.

It's remarkable that McGoohan got a free hand with this project. I'm not sure if an actor today would have the freedom to lay out his vision in such a way.

What is an individual?

McGoohan’s series hooked a mass TV audience with its intelligent, clever, thrilling and entertaining scripts. Each episode was an event that left the audience either bewildered and angered, or enthralled and inspired. This was part of McGoohan’s intention, to create debate, have the viewers question their own reality. As McGoohan put it in this interview:

http://dangerousminds.net/comments/we_are_all_prisoners_patr...

And the the book that accompanies that interview "The Prisoner Puzzle" can be found here:

It does come come with interpretations for all of the 17 episodes which some might consider spoilers.

What you describe is "dictatorship of the majority"; at least over here, when people talk about democracy, they mean "liberal democracy", i.e. as Wikipedia puts it, a variant of representative democracy that may include elements such as political pluralism; equality before the law; the right to petition elected officials for redress of grievances; due process; civil liberties; human rights; and elements of civil society outside the government.

I'm not sure our settings for considering endangered species are quite right. Someone told me a long time ago that "[...] like any other wild animals, their biggest threat comes from mankind". With 2000 giant pandas alive and 7.5 billion bipeds, yeah, that's about right.

I think we've profoundly failed as a species. Apart from bringing almost all living things on the brink of extinction, and nudge about every stable ecosystem that was prospering before us, what have we done? What kind of prowess have we achieved? Did we land on another planet yet? Did we built a cohesive hive mind shared between every individuals alive?

Earth doesn't more humans, and if we could shave around 2 or 3 billion right now, that would be alright. Problem is, humans tends to get nervous when you apply natural selection to them. Eating cows? No problem. Getting chased by something with large teeth? Nope nope nope nope.

> If the fbi did not operate the server they would still have acquired it.

I'm a little dubious of this brand of logic. The one that goes if X was not supplied they would just get it from the <potentially slightly harder to find &/or riskier> place.

Perhaps, but surely the point is to reduce the incentive by making it harder/riskier - as making it impossible is generally not a viable option?
I am not a lawyer.

The law [0] seems to provided an affirmative defense if "the alleged child pornography was not produced using any actual minor or minors."

This defense does not apply if (emphasis added) "such visual depiction has been created, adapted, or modified to appear that an identifiable minor is engaging in sexually explicit conduct."

My reading of this is that it is legal to have a pornagraphic drawing of a child character . It only become illegal when the drawing is of an actual minor.

Age discrimination and not hiring "overqualified" people are overlapping problems. Older people can often be described as overqualified.

It's also unclear whether being overqualified is actually a problem, which you assumed as true. See for example

> research shows that overqualified workers tend to perform better than other employees, and they don’t quit any sooner.

Everywhere as in...? IRC isn't going anywhere for sure, I use it (prefer it to Slack), but its usage has diminished greatly to very niche groups such as anime subtitling communities and programming languages/techs. Of the latter, many are either moving to Slack or also have a Slack with more people on it. I also hear less and less developers using or talking about IRC in general.

Elixir (language), Ember (JavaScript framework), Elm (language) all have more active Slacks than IRCs. Facebook's React moved from Slack to Discord, and the community has never cared for or used their IRC channel.

There's still fairly active IRCs like the JavaScript, Go, Clojure (I think), and the Node ones, but they're becoming the exception.

I think IRC is popular in your group of developers and interests, but for many people it's somehow considered ancient. On an interview I once mentioned IRC and the interviewer (in his 40s) was surprised it was still a thing.
Unfortunately full of people attempting to XSS and spam unicode. I think I'll stick with IRC :)
Almost same story here, I picked a Mercedes E-class instead of the Tesla, the interior completely blows the Tesla away at half the price.

Yes, the Tesla is super fun when you get to push the speeder, but the rest of the time it's just not. This was also a year before Tesla launched their "autopilot", and I picked an E-class with Mercedes' self-driving tech which had already been on the market for years at that point...
Choosing to not associate oneself with a group of people is also freedom of association, though - as well as discrimination.

Legal Protections against entrapment are very minimal and not what people think.

FBI routinely creates, plots, then recruits people for made up terrorism plots, then arrests them

The DEA, in partnership with the ATF, recently ran a operation where they recruited people to rob fake stash houses, then arrested the people that were coerced into the plot

Entrapment is often used in prostitution stings as well.

None of these instances are tossed by the courts, entrapment is very much alive and well in the legal system

>>>>For the most part wether the fbi was operating this server or not the people who visit the server came there out of their own free will in an attempt to acquire child pornography.

While true, there are some very significant problems with this. For decades now the basis of the law against viewing child pornography is that each time the image is viewed the child is victimized. Thus by running the server for even 1 second the FBI was, according to the law, victimizing children in order to catch criminals.

If you then claim is no children were actually harmed by the FBI's action then one has to start looking at the very foundation of the Child Porn laws.

Personally I think the ethical and moral position (and should be the obvious one) is that the FBI should not, under any circumstances, be distributing child porn. Period.

On face value this story seems ironic, but there’s a lot of questions in my mind. What is the skill set overlap between an Apple engineer and an Apple genius?

There's also the argument for doing things a better way. Our propulsion systems suck, which is why we're having to send robots to comets instead of humans. Humans don't get stuck in cracks. Robots get stuck in cracks because they have no clue how to measure things they've never seen before.

Given what Tesla have achieved, and the engineering hurdles they have overcome, it's kinda strange that they neglected the interior so much. I would have though that this would be one of the easiest parts of a car to get right.

Hire some established car interior people from existing companies, and work with existing suppliers of luxury manufacturers. The interior is the one part of the car that doesn't need to try to be innovative, so they could have basically just copied their German rivals. Am I missing something about how hard this is?

Also, is it really that bad? I've never driven or ridden in a Tesla, but I've looked inside one in a showroom and thought it looked pretty nice inside.
