Facebook is where I quarantine family and people whose interests diverged from my own over time, but are still good to keep in touch with. I don't use Linkedin.

Twitter is where friends/personal stuff happens. You should find a community beyond the stuff they push at sign up. There's so much there beyond celebrities, gossip, and politics.
I moved to Los Angeles about four months ago and was surprised how little I drive. Uber and Lyft are insanely cheap here when using the pool/line options. I've taken 10 mile trips for $4! The metro is great too if you live near a line.

Certain parts of the city are easier without a car than others. A lot of it comes down to how far you live from work too. I walk to work everyday (10 minutes) and there's a plethora of stores in my area to walk to and shop at.

I'm about to sell my car and I'm not sure if I'll be getting another anytime soon.
Counter-Strike Is Broken
One of my colleagues in the ambulance service got a formal complaint from a patient after a successful resus where the patient sustained two rib fractures. Fortunately the doc in charge of the ED stepped up and told the patient to stop being an ass.
FTA:

LA Metro opened up the Expo Line, a light rail between downtown LA and Santa Monica, in May as part of its effort to wean people off car ownership. When it began running, Uber ran a promotion for $5 off Pool rides to or from Expo line stations. For ride-hail companies, partnering with public transportation agencies to market themselves as companion services can increase mutual ridership. Kan, Lyft’s LA general manager, said three of the top 10 destinations for Lyft rides are metro stations.

If this trend continues and becomes more common, it has potential to really change transportation in LA. LA Metro is working on expanding the rail lines but there's always the "last mile" problem (not literally 1 mile, but usually last few miles to get/from rail station to destination). UberPool/Lyft Line can be the solution for this and the more people use it, the better solution it becomes.

This seems to be a circumstantial issue that is probably not the norm. Kind of like a special case!
Probably has to do with using `try/catch` whis is not omptimized by V8. Different parser is 10 times faster on my machine.

Edit: `fast-csv` seems to be using a lot of `RegExp`s on each iteration which can't be that fast compared to csv-parser which seems to simply go over each symbol (state machine?).
My car insurance policy has rental car coverage, but I think it has a limit.

Have you ever seen a "C"SV with a multibyte sequence as a delimiter? I haven't.

Even if such a thing exists, the feature is of negative utility if it slows down CSV parsing for everyone else. If you must, write two implementations, and use the slow path if your delimiter is multibyte.

Your post says "ONSITE INTERNS", but there is no place on your website to apply for or email to inquire about the internship position. I sent an email last month and no response. Are you looking for interns?
Well, not that I agree with it entirely, but here's my understanding of the argument (which might be entirely wrong):

Going way back, the 2nd amendment entitles US citizens to own firearms because it's supposed to be a government for the people, by the people. If the people no longer support the government, they can revolt (ala american revolution). At the time, citizenry owning firearms was sufficient for a revolution to be successful. See 3rd amendment, as well.

So, the 2nd amendment was really an escape clause for citizens if they no longer wish to support the government. It just happened to be written as a gun measure. Having a governmental database controlling gun ownership thus violates that intention.

When I look at the dead and grayed out comments (you can turn on "showdead" in your profile to see the dead ones), I usually consider them to be lower quality than the comments that have not been downvoted and flagged. Do you feel otherwise? If so, could you link to some examples?
it certainly looks like the gun control lobby and gun manufacturers lobby are in symbiosis.
Haskell's Integer type transforms an exception into a decrease in performance by, behind the scenes, using the native (32/64 bit) integer type for values in that range, and a custom bignum implementation for when the native type would overflow.
That's correct. I believe any nature related event falls into a category that conditions of carriage call an "Act of God".
> Even if your answer to this is "Well maybe there shouldn't be any public infrastructure in the first place", it simply shifts the problem somewhere else: if a private company would be managing the infrastructure, rest assured they would also ask for usage costs..

I wouldn't say there shouldn't be public infrastructure. For the last part, though, mightn't Facebook consider charging the company managing infrastructure for the ability of their customers to access Facebook? I think people would be a lot less likely to subscribe to an ISP that didn't facilitate access to Facebook.
I believe the parent was referring to oral administration of testosterone (or, in the case of most fish, 11-ketotestosterone). Levels in a typical serving of tilapia are probably in the nanogram range. Oral bioavailability in humans of around 3% puts us in the picogram range of dosage, or about a billionth of what the average male produces in a week. You'd need a pretty healthy appetite to get PCOS from tilapia.

Seth Godin:

Part of it is, I think, subreddits tend to get very narrowly defined—as you mentioned, programming, entrepreneurship, academic news, etc. Whereas HN is programming+entrepreneurship+academic news. So rather than different communities for each discussion, you get a broader community that can discuss a number of things. Reddit could have such a subreddit, but generally that's not how Redditors do things.

A second is, I think, that you get abilities more slowly. You can't downvote comments until, what, 500 karma? Rather than it being easy to make sockpuppets to downvote a group you dislike.

A third is, HN is a lot smaller. Much lower traffic, it's more out-of-the-way, so it has more adults discussing their jobs. And there are fewer random passers-by who already have commenting, upvoting, and downvoting rights—able to interrupt the community without needing to actually be a part of it.

And a fourth is, HN is pretty well moderated. That's definitely a good thing when trying to maintain your signal-to-noise ratio.
Tiago here.

Roadrunner mode probably sounds a lot like the "crisis mode" we're all used to in most orgs, but it's actually more like supercompensation principle in all types of learning and training. You focus w/ everything you have, and then recover. Most orgs try to balance capacity, which results in this steady state of draining yet not really productive work. Theory of Constraints (which is what this thread is based on) says you should instead balance flow.
Which is exactly how most comparable websites work, including the example: Facebook.

The article mentions that undefined behavior permits wrapping and trapping implementations. What about bignums? Would a C or C++ implementation be allowed to allocate more space to deal with integer overflow?

On the one hand, C data types are supposed to be fixed sizes, but on the other, "integer overflow = undefined behavior = anything can happen" seems to permit extending the size of the type when it overflows.

Flip side of all cash business is tax evasion; meaning the owner does not report all the gross revenue and the spends the cash in a way that it's not traceable back to them.

Another reason to have access to the cash flow of an all cash business is to launder counterfeit currency; aka someone gives you a $20 an the business gives them back fake bills for the change.

Most interesting ML method I've heard of is book on hacking public databases to create valid fraudulent identifies to launder cash through:

Is there an argument in here? None of that has anything to do with having an registry of who bought a gun.

Vehicles have to be registered, and so should guns. For essentially the very same reasons.

I collect owl-themed objects, so to me it's a perfectly sensible query. I've surely uttered those words myself once or twice.
Reloading would become an even bigger deal than it already is. Already, anybody that shoots seriously and goes through a lot of ammunition will usually get setup with reloading equipment, because buying the powder, primers and bullets, with reused brass, is at least half as expensive as buying new ammunition.

Also, there isn't a meaningful distinction between ammunition used in semi-automatic vs other types. 9mm is 9mm is 9mm, whether you're shooting it out of a Glock or a revolver or a single-shot target pistol. Same thing with rifle ammunition - NATO 5.56x45 tends to be what a lot of AR-15 variants, the so-called "assault weapons" are chambered in, but there's no reason you couldn't also have a bolt-action hunting rifle in the same caliber.

LinkedIn for professional? I don't know what industry or field you are in, but you can't really have discussions on LinkedIn can you? I'm in computer science and a lot of things are announced or organised over Twitter.
You can't always separate ammo from how it is used. I can fire a 9 mm round from a single shot, semi-automatic, or fully automatic weapon just the same. My hunting shotgun is actually a semi-automatic and that's not uncommon.

On a side note, manufacturing guns and ammo at home is not incredibly hard. Granted, you won't get the same result as if you bought something from the store, but they will function all the same.
That's actually a great idea. I had built a discussion forum prototype a few months ago, that incorporates similar ideas. Unfortunately, social media has severe network effects, making it hard for new products to displace entrenched platforms.

It's widely known that on Reddit, if you arrive several hours late to a discussion, your comment has very little chance to make it to the top. Exceptions do exist, if your comment is exceptionally good. But if it's just "significantly better" than the existing content, forgetaboutit.

The reason for this is simple: Reddit's system takes only 2 factors into account - the number of upvotes and the number of downvotes. So if post A has been viewed by 1000 people, and accumulates a net score of +10, it will still be shown over post B which has been viewed just 50 times and accumulated a net score of +8.

Even more insidious: a single downvote is all it takes to doom a post on Reddit. If you went to great trouble to write a moving and eloquent post, and someone who disagreed with you downvoted it as soon as it was posted, it will immediately get moved to the bottom of the pile, and no one else will get the chance to see it and reverse the trend.

Is it really fair to prioritize content that just happened to be posted at a better time, and thus, picked up more views? Is it really good to bury a content at the bottom of the heap just because one person downvoted it right after it was posted?

At Caucus, we don't think so. In addition to the sophisticated reputation systems mentioned above, we also take into consideration the number of times a content was seen, and guarentee each content sufficient opportunity to been seen and prove itself. This ensures that all newly posted content is given a fighting chance to reach the top, regardless of when they happened to get posted.
How do you find people like that? How can you trust them?

They aren't so common I'd imagine -- but I sadly know far too few professional cooks. :-)

Easy solution: go to Italy on holiday for a week or two, just to eat food. Now you know.

Or even better, go fish, hunt and grow your own. I grew up on salmon my maternal grandpa fished, cod etc. my paternal grandpa fished, smoked salmon my uncle made, moose shot by one of the neighbours, scallops my dad (and later myself) picked while scuba diving, potatoes and carrots either home grown or bought from the farmer down the road, berries picked in the fall by all the family and conserved...

The problem is 99% of people don't give a shit, convenience trumps taste and all else. Take something as simple as bread: anyone can make delicious bread with equipment they already own, at low cost, and it doesn't take a lot of time once you've done it a few times. Yet people buy effing atrocious bread from the supermarket every day. I refuse, I've baked all my own bread for the past 11 years.

It takes 2 minutes before dinner to mix predough, 3 minutes to mix full dough before putting the kids to bed, then 2 minutes putting the breads in the oven and taking them out again after the kids are tucked in. Repeat every four days.
Nearly every single one of those guys has left, and for very good reason. Ask around.
That's one way, another popular way (in Denmark at least) is to buy winning lottery tickets with dirty money and then legally cash them. Since it is not unreasonable for a person who has very little income to buy a lottery ticket, it won't be suspecious if they drive flash cars, etc.

Alternatively, if you need to launder money continuously, you can bet on sports, but buy more than one ticket, so that no matter what who wins you will have a winning ticket from which you can claim your recent money, should anybody ask.

Sounds like it already recorded a rating for your last photo? Try sending another photo, then waiting for your response photo before rating. Also, it's only looking for INTs so your 3.5 may have confused it. I'll make note - thanks for the heads up!

This is how Lithium batteries are charged - CC/CV. You first have constant current stage, then as the battery fills up you shift into constant voltage stage where the current is gradually reduced until the battery is full.

However CC/CV change doesn't normally happen at 50%, but further down the charging cycle. It may be that Tesla throttles the current ahead of time due to thermal constraints of the charging system.
> No real way to prove where your bitcoin came from.

That's exactly the problem. It doesn't help if your bitcoins are untraceable, your bank is still going to be suspicious when you deposit $1m out of nowhere from an exchange in order to buy a house. This is the problem the DNM sellers have: they have all this money from Bitcoin, and it is inherently suspicious since they can't account for where it came from and how they earned it legitimately.

Although judges are not required to follow the USSG, and upward departures do happen; e.g. Dennis Hastert's structuring conviction. The DOJ is technically correct, but very misleading.

How would we ever be able to discover if something knows what we call "pain"?

I think the more we learn about life, the more we will see that it's a spectrum, and can't really be divided into sentient and non-sentient. I see little difference between a tiny insect fledgling in apparent pain and a leaf releasing a chemical as a response to damage. The mechanical reaction happens because the insect can move and the chemical reaction because the planet cannot.

Sentience would appear to be about the ability to move around, which through evolution causes moving life forms to experience pain in response to damage, because it causes them to move away from and avoid the threat. It appears we expect to be able to judge the internal experience of a life form by looking at it. And if it moves, like us, we call it "sentient".
I'll take you up on that offer - I'm interested!

If you have any pointers on English language material (books, news articles) regarding the subject, that'd be interesting as well!

The two scenarios are vastly different in my opinion. Grading multiple choice and short answer questions in parallel is a much simpler task than grading a written essay. The essay is complex human thought, not a formal system as in multiple choice or near formal system as in short answers.

The chemistry and engineering diagram grading scenario is closer to the first cases as well. The diagram is a formal visual representation of the underlying solution. There is less variance in the range of correct-looking diagrams than the written word. If the question was more complex, "Please draw a UML diagram of a complete user authentication system," then a human would have to grade it. There are an infinite amount of ways to design and diagram a solution to an open-ended problem.

LA is a different place because of Uber. LA lost it's amazing public transit system over 40 or so years from like ~1935 to ~1975. Now they are slowly building it back, probably just in time for it to be obsoleted by automated cars given how long it's taking them.

Uber certainly helps deal with the lack of public transportation but the other big issue is LA is HUGE! My sister lives in Glendora (far east side of LA) I was staying in Venice Beach. It's about 45 miles. And that's not even one side of the LA metro area to the other, that's just LA itself. On Uber that would be ~$55 or so. A similar distance on the train system in Tokyo would be $10-$20 depending on how many different companies' trains you have to use.

Of course it might still be cheaper than a owning a car if you're not making the long trips often.
How do you find somebody to sell you a lottery ticket that won a lot of money ? And somebody who also trusts you ? Or do you buy a ton of tickets and do essentially the same thing as with sport betting ?
