I made no such attack. You clearly identify with Randian ideals. I find it extremely ironic how you're so sensitive about logical fallacies when you start out by completely mischaracterizing your opposition with an offensive strawman argument. I mean, come on.
That is a good point, when it is a health issue related to the type of species, I can agree. That seems like a regulatory issue and the FDA or other regulatory agencies should care.

I don't see any flames in that picture. I've never seen any flames in that picture, but I've been told (since junior high school) that it is a picture of a burning child. What's up with that?

Common sense tells me that the child's clothing was on fire, and she took those clothes off and ran away, and that's what we see a photo of. Fine.

But then... why is this photo described as a picture that contains flames? Not just here. That's always how it is described.
I personally recommend client-go, official kubernetes go library. Comments it types made me understand kubernetes concepts much quicker. It's quite small and easily understandable, even without go experience. See my post https://kozikow.com/2016/09/02/using-go-to-autogenerate-kube...

Your information is dated.

Pretty much all new US cards now have chips in them. Nearly the entire market has shifted over to that in the last year. The only cards remaining without chips are those that are running out their expiration date.

Merchants are now liable for fraudulent charges if they haven't switched to EMV terminals. The payment processor hasn't born that risk for nearly a year.
I noticed about 6 months ago that Dropbox was on this list and disabled it the normal way. It stayed disabled and also didn't cause any problems using the software.

Now, why how did Evernote get on the list?

It has to sit within the company. You can use it to buy an ice sculpture for the office lobby, but not for your own palazzo.

Citation for the "0.176", please? There are many scoring functions for DNA similarity.

Citation for the same numbers for chimpanzee subspecies, please?

Also, which Nigerians do you refer to? Huasa? Ibo? Because I think you meant to say either Yoruba or Western Pygmy.

At least I give links so others can double-check my statements. I would laugh if your reference used 500 bases rather than 10,000, or used something under strong evolutionary pressure instead of something neutral like this study.

FWIW, I'll use the time to the most recent common ancestor as my scoring function. For chimpanzees, two of the subspecies started to separate ~1 million years ago: http://www.eva.mpg.de/documents/AAAS/Kaessmann_Extensive_Sci... :

> When the MRCAs of the two chimpanzee subspecies for which multiple samples were available were estimated, they were found to be 1,755,000 years (95% confidence interval: 915,000 to 3,660,000 years) for the central chimpanzees and 502,000 years (95% confidence interval: 270,000 to 1,010,000 years) for the western chimpanzees.

The most recent ancestry for humans is no more than 100-200,000 years ago, dating from Mitochondrial Eve. We've had about an order of magnitude fewer generations to diversify than the chimps have. (We reach puberty later than chimps, so our generations are longer. Also, it's much more likely that our most recent common ancestor, pre-1400, is more recent than mtEve.)

By that definition, chimps are more diverse than humans.
What can we infer from that? Did the black slave owners own whites? For a short period, whites were even indentured servants. Are you going to equate white slavery experience with black slavery? How many blacks owned slaves, were they really black or mulatto, did ruling whites only accept that practice during a short early colonial period or did that practice proliferate until the Civil War? Could freemen be buying slaves to free a family member, where they actually were not subsequently treated as slaves?
I work in film vfx, and if you think we dont compare our rendered images to real photographs and video constantly, then you dont really know how modern graphics are produced. We shoot reference for everything, and use things like gonioreflectometers to sample real world BSDFs. Yes, lighting models are always necessarily simplified from the real world physics. But the thing is that 99% of the time that doesnt matter, because most common types of surfaces are able to be reproduced accurately enough to fool the majority of people. I would wager that most of the CG things you see these days on TV or in movies you have no idea was CG.. it's only the bad stuff (or obviously impossible) that stands out.

I actually am a bit confused what you are arguing here.. all of these problems you're mentioning have been well-understood by graphics researchers for the past couple decades.
> Have you ever been seriously injured by a criminal or have had a loved one seriously injured by a criminal?

Yes, both.

> Vengeance is a perfectly natural and reasonable expectation of someone in such a situation

Natural, obviously (everything that occurs is "natural"; there is nothing but nature.)

Reasonable, no.

> and an essential element of justice.

This is a moral axiom that is far from universally accepted, rather than any kind of statement of verifiable fact.

> If the state doesn't provide it, people will take it into their own hands.

If the state doesn't provide it, some subset of victims will take it into their own hands (and even if the state does provide any particular version of "vengeance", some subset of victims will still take additional or differently-targeted vengeance into their own hands.)

There are lots of things some percentage of people will do on their own if the state doesn't do it for them, but that fact is not, in and of itself, support for the claim that the state doing those things is essential.
Deterministic means it is completely determined by the parameters, so it doesn't change from one call to another. This seems to be exactly what you are naming "stable" here. If it outputed the keys in a known order, it would be predictable.

Yet, the GP is just complaining about two different and widespread definitions of "random", so, whatever. It would be great to have a contexts dictionary we could use to resolve such things.
No. "Didn't know they wanted." There has been a protracted and concerted propaganda effort to change consciousness about this subject. What makes a Theodore Roosevelt exceptional is that he listened to John Muir decades before that kind of thinking was commonplace.

I think there was a long span of time where you could set rivers on fire, cut the air in cities with a knife and become sickened or killed by drinking water from a pubic well. The Thames was a severe, dangerous public nuisance in the time of Samuel Pepys ( who happened to write about it ).

This became a "thing" only since WWII.

People used open-belt farm machinery. 90% of electrical linemen died on the job. You could buy machine guns at paint stores, or by mail. "Safety" as a discipline is quite recent. Environmentalism is even more recent. My Dad worked for a Bell company and was decades ahead of the general flow of safety, and we picked up our trash as we left campsites, when most didn't.

Of course the Boy Scouts had this as a practice, but it was otherwise not mainstream.

He would definitely have replied :) .

Patrick replied (very accurately, as it turned out) back in 2011 to my attempt to do a micropayments startup:

"I would strongly advise rethinking starting a payment processor as a student. It is relationship-, credibility-, and capital-intensive. It also requires truly massive scale before being worth any money. (Incredibly massive scale in micropayments. If you make $0.01 off each transaction you have to facilitate hundreds of thousands a month just to pay for the founding team's ramen. If you somehow possess the magic that you need to find 100,000 paying customers you shouldn't end up eating ramen!)"

As someone who started down the payments path and desisted pretty quickly ("fail fast", they call it :) ) I'm extremely impressed by Stripe, and they've definitely gotten a great talent and great guy in Patrick.

The judge has to sign of on plea deals; for all crimes above a certain level (differs between jurisdictions), you are not allowed to plea guilty while also maintaining your innocence.

There are some major issues with this though; there are many people who are likely innocent but plea guilty because they can't afford bail, and if they miss work they will lose their jobs.

Plea deals happen a lot because of the sheer volume of criminal cases; from the prosecutors point of view they reduce the variability of outcome, as well as the work needed to get the outcome, which makes it possible to handle a larger caseload.

[edit]

Also as the paper posted by a sibling comment points out, jury trials in the US are incredibly resource intensive, and it is only in the last century or so that they have become so. 97% of federal convictions are from guilty pleas.
>There Is No Future For Scarcity

This section worries me a bit, as it's the sort of thing that doesn't consider the possibility of a major world-wide crisis. There are plenty of conceivable futures where these things could happen. A simple one is a small-scale non-nuclear war between China and US, where they disconnect completely from the larger Internet, but we avoid a global thermonuclear war. The continental European countries saw a 50% drop in GDP through WW2, and it could very well happen again.
Nope. UK Mastercard, no verification or 2fa. I guess we're not as secure as Russia in this case!

For one, I'm fairly sure that modern spell checkers use n-gram language models rather than a 1-gram model to decrease perplexity. Disclaimer: I skimmed the article.
To rephrase the question slightly differently: "Is Atlas a suitable tool for a UK startup, selling to the UK/EU markets?"

To which the answer may well be "No. Right now, Atlas is US-centric, but could potentially broaden its scope in the future to include other jurisdictions".

Personally, I'm not worried about Atlas, in the same way as I'm not worried about other US company startup facilities.

When I started my latest UK company, I used a UK accountancy service, who handled the initial set-up for me.

>CO2 is regulated, and so is NOx.

Right, but (per parent comment), you misrepresented the basis for the tradeoff behind the regulation -- you justified it by the need to prevent global warming, but the regulation pertained to NO2, not CO2, and satisfying the former typically makes the car less CO2-efficient.

So, you were justifying a GW-worsening regulation by the need to lessen GW.

(Your point about differing limits for buses vs cars is correct though, and the parent is wrong on that issue. But it would frankly be better if they were just charged per emission and each mode decides for itself whether the extra emissions are worth it.)
Seriously can you think of any ill use of a hammer?
How about a car?
Or ooh, money!
I use finatra and scala. I have however heard great things about java and spring. As well as play and scala.
Yet phones, which only need to draw text and flat bitmaps, are laggy and stall all the time.
CO2 is certainly not regulated in passenger vehicles. You're free to drive as big and fuel inefficient of a car as you like.
Automated system that detected it as child porn and deleted it. And this system didn't have any ways to manually override it.
From the section on using `git commit --amend`:

> This usually happens to me if I merge to master, then run tests/linters.

If this happens on more than one occasion, I’d strongly consider creating a pre-commit hook to run tests and/or lint the changed files, e.g., I run `checkbashisms` and `shellcheck` as a pre-commit hook when working on shell scripts.

> why Dropbox needs the circumvention

I'm not affiliated with Dropbox, but compare the UX of Dropbox (type in your admin-password and that's it) with the one of Steam (opens the System preferences and forces you to make manual changes). Both need to be allowed accessibility access for one feature or another, but only one of them provides convincing UX.

For us power users, the "official" way is better, sure, but what's the percentage of power-users compared to normal users who actually enjoy the office intrgration and other things made possible by the accessibility API?

I would be happiest if it didn't do the dirty thing and also didn't offer office integration. Maybe that's the change they need to make. But if they insist on doing the things that need accessibility, then the current solution is so much more convenient than the steam dance.
> And why would a developer choose to build in a cheap area for lower rents when they can get higher ROI on everything but the land costs if they build luxury housing in an expensive area?

I would argue this is a false choice: very few developers have the capital to build luxury housing in expensive areas.

For example, I know a guy who builds lower-end housing in Philadelphia (among other places). He would never consider building anything in Manhattan, simply because he can't afford to tie up the capital it would take to build even a townhouse-scale project. Lower-end is his game, period - only a small handful of mega-developers get to make the kind of choice you propose.

By the way, he lives in New York, and logically/logistically it would make more sense for him to build in New York than Philadelphia, but the economics of lower-end development in New York are prohibitive. Once in a while a good opportunity will come along here, but to pay the bills and not be idle he has to look elsewhere.

> I'm not convinced that the biggest obstacles to affordable housing in the city are about zoning or safety regulations. (Some of which, btw, ARE necessary for the sake of, yanno, people not dying.)

Yes, I totally agree on safety regulations (I don't think I cited them as an issue, did I?). I don't think they are a primary driver of the cost of building in New York vs. other cities. Logistics of operating in the nation's densest city, yes; safety regulations unique to New York, probably no.

Zoning, on the other hand... I think it's a bigger restriction than most people realize. My favorite illustration of the zoning issue is this article: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/05/19/upshot/forty-p...
My experience with debit card fraud has been identical to that of credit card fraud: instantly reversed charges, including (once) immediately reversed overdraft charges.

What bank took 90 days to refund fraudulent purchases? I'd like to know to avoid them forever.

(It's true that using a debit card means whatever checking account you used could get zeroed out; it's probably a good idea just to open a second account to use for online stuff, if you don't already have an account that serves a similar purpose).
That's fine. I am assuming all these employees were paid good market salaries as well right?
I for one am more than faintly relieved that Starfighter has fallen. It looked to me like an attempt to find the most direct way possible to parlay the prominent position that Thomas and Patrick have in this community into cash - by literally selling its members. There's a line that's crossed here between being a member of HN buoyed up by the good wishes and advice of your fellows, and using the community as a resource to be exploited.

Yes, this is a throwaway. Yes, I think it's a problem that I feel I need to use one.
We're not done yet!
Maybe I'm just an incredibly responsible person (I'm not), but I've had bluetooth earbuds (the Bragi Dash) for six months and not once have I come close to losing them. I take them out of my ears, they go into the case.

The AirPod has a lot riding against it in my opinion, but loseability is not one of those things.
My whole point is that "unlawfully high" was totally undefined. The intentions of the law are totally irrelevant here, just how it's being applied. I may not agree that it ultimately helps consumers, but if the EU wants to set rules for pricing, that's totally within their right. Applying rules retroactively is not fair and it creates uncertainty that strongly discourages businesses from rising and operating in Europe.

A law is not fair if there is no way for a reasonable actor to know whether their actions are legal or not. It's especially unfair when something is seemingly fine for 20 years but suddenly becomes not fine and the government wants to confiscate retroactively. This isn't some ongoing wrongdoing that was only recently discovered; MasterCard had this arrangement with probably hundreds of thousands of companies for decades.
Before there was the class action, the US Justice Department sued. Visa and MasterCard settled.[1] The settlement required those companies to allow merchants to "steer" customers to less expensive cards with with discounts and incentives. Not that this agreement didn't override state laws which prohibit that practice. AMEX choose to go to trial, lost, and the case is currently on appeal at the Second Circuit (the judgment stayed).[2]

The class action lawsuit was settled in principle back in 2012 and approved by the district court in 2013, but was thrown out recently by the Second Circuit.[3] It would have been the largest class action settlement in history, but many large merchants objected to being bound by a settlement that they had no part in negotiating.

Probably the demo version, which was released without DRM. Did you see reports of anyone running the full version?
Given the sheer volume, I honestly wonder if a human does ever see it unless it's called out on Twitter (or whatever).

Even if it's flagged as an Iconic Image, you have to look at the context and see if it isn't posted by Jared from Subway.

Easier to auto flag than make a "waiting for glacially slow human" queue. (Esp. when one-million-moms has a protest van idling on the launch deck 24/7.)

d3d is another api to learn for a restricted platform, whereas opengl can applied to all platforms, as a subset also on mobile. D3d really must be better about some larger factor to be a feasible choice today. It doesn't seem to be so (see this doom engine for example).
I've found that here in Louisiana people tend to be less racist overall, while those who are don't hide it. There are the guys who get drunk and throw slurs around, and worse, but I've also never seen as many interracial couples anywhere else. The openness makes it easier to know who your friends and enemies are.

I agree with not feeling ashamed about the sins of your ancestors, but I also don't believe in blaming others for their ancestors' sins. One branch of my family owned a plantation in Haiti. Then the revolution came, and that branch came to an abrupt end. While I'm extremely bothered that the revolutionaries killed the children as well, I'm not going to blame their descendants.
We would also have to do something about piling on stupid charges in an effort to force a plea deal as well.
If they do, they aren't enforcing it at all in new Zealand, where a 2% surchage for credit cards is fast becoming the norm.
It can be complicated to start a corporation in a country you're a resident of.
Starting a corporation in a country you're not a resident of is usually even more complicated because now you have to worry about two tax regimes and the interactions between them. There's also the distinction between corporate taxes and personal taxes and the interactions between those (e.g. your Delaware corporation issues a dividend to the UK founders).
That's crazy. 90% of random eBay sellers take returns. I would never have expected Dell to pull shit like this.
My understanding is that these types of dupes have been going on for decades. I didn't know about the deceptions in white fish, but my mom has frequently told me that my grandpa (a Swedish commercial fisherman who emigrated to New Jersey) often identified shark being sold as swordfish or other muscular, and more expensive, fish.
