Maybe not with open identity, but they surely do discuss. There are lots of mostly non-commercial forums that are full of people discussing their "turn-ons". In most cases I encountered, in a very civilized fashion. Discussions are more technical than one might expect, especially compared to "real-life" discussions about turn-ons, which often end in shame, giggling or bragging. A look at Amazon or other commercial platforms and the customer reviews shows about the same. As long as people aren't forced to show their full name, they are just fine about discussing such matters.

I used K-9 for many months and it was just OK. The FastMail app was not a huge improvement (over K-9) but it was still an improvement, at least in my experience. From memory K-9 didn't handle multiple "send-from" accounts as competently as the FastMail app, and there were other quirks that became more irritating over time.

Well, either this sort of a hard problem happens much more frequently in the US, or the police in other countries are much less trigger-happy and better at de-escalation, negotiation and other soft tactics.

The list of lists of killings by police officers in different countries is pretty eye-opening [1]. In many European countries police killing someone is always news and happens at most a few times per year, even in countries comparable in size to the US.

Why do they need another social network? If it helps youtube users, ofc its a good move. But if its means to an end, to create a social network -- I thought their main motive for having a social net of some kind was to use vote/comment/share signals as additional data to improve search and ad placement, given that those are more informative than which link of the ones offered by search you choose to click.

But they don't need a massive social net just for that, and they have G+. Isn't that enough to do the job?

I remember reading an article about this in The Economist a few years ago.

The article stated that the tame fox specimen exhibited facial features that were slightly different from those of wild foxes, and that the tamer they were, the greater the differences were. Their jaws had become thinner, their chins less pronouned, and their eyes larger. The article noted that it was possible that these facial features were correlated with hormonal levels that made the foxes less aggressive and more tame, and that the same could be true in human beings.

Since human beings considers these facial features "attractive" in other human beings, it was possible to conclude that we're hardwired to be physically attracted to people whose facial features indicate a lower propensity to anger and aggression.

I've looked for the article on google but I can't find it unfortunately.

This is probably neoteny, which is considered a key part of the domestication of dogs.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoteny#In_domestic_animals

> Some common neotenous physical traits in domesticated animals (mainly dogs, pigs, ferrets, cats, and even foxes) include: floppy ears, changes in reproductive cycle, curly tails, piebald coloration, fewer or shortened vertebra, large eyes, rounded forehead, large ears, and shortened muzzle.

For humans, neoteny is generally considered attractive in women.

To take this to its conclusion, statistically there's a non-zero chance that the next thing you eat could poison you, therefore you should never eat anything ever again.

It's always a case of trade offs and, in the case of using force, morality.

The real issue is the level of uncertainty a police officer should accept. In most European countries, the balance is legally set much more in favour of protecting the public in these situations compadres to the US

Announcing September 2016 Updates for .NET Core 1.0
What's G+ like these days? Used it a few years ago, only social net I gave a serious try, and was really quite fond of it.

Circles were quite a practical way of following topics of interest, w/o having to actually communicate with anyone or disclose anything about myself to anyone (as opposed to "friending" anyone on fb, which notifies the other party as if I actually wanted any interaction with them), and there was quite a lot of say tech folks in various topics to track.

But as a topical news aggregator, there are other options, such as hackernews, reddit, various planets and desktop/console rss/atom aggregators etc, so not a real gain.

Didn't stick to it mainly cuz I'm apparently too introverted for classic friend-to-friend social networking, as I suspected; didn't really have anything to say about anything, and didn't care much to hear about the daily fluff in the lives of acquaintances either.

So what kinds of concepts/services developed and thrived on G+ since google gave up on yt integration?

Here's one way:

* Find a couple of remote security holes in Windows and Android, maybe iOS and Macs as well (Linux would be good too, as lots of servers run Linux and have big bandwidth).

* Write a self-propagating worm which uses your holes to infect a large chunk of machines currently attached to the internet.

* Set your worm so, after an hour or so it starts hammering the root servers.

That mess would be almost impossible to sort out, particularly if you were clever about the traffic you created do it was hard to filter.

The only reason I can think no-one would do this is it's MAD -- no-one's internet would work, why would Russia or China or the US want to take down everyone's internet?

1) I think you misunderstood me. I think deviations should be compared to the average of the whole data-set (22016 years) not only a tiny (29 years) subset of it.

2) Exactly, but the point is that the recent data also contains normal fluctuations. It's simply wrong to change the representation of data mid-chart. How would you feel looking at a stock price chart where historical data is displayed as an annual average and it then suddenly continues as an hourly graph? Sure you would think some crazy stuff is going on with the stock price.

This is a problem to be address by user reviews, possibly formalized as some sort of "authenticity/personal metric".

You are searching for a certain feel or experience, which is fine. Personally, I'm more interested in just saving money, a savings which arises from the taking advantage of previously un-rented space and the part-time labor of folks who aren't able to work full time for hotels. Both of us can co-exist on AirBnB. Just read the reviews, and perhaps petition for AirBnB to include a formal metric (or prompt reviewers more for their opinion on the personal feel, etc.).

A full-time AirBnB landlord doesn't ruin the whole point or lose sign of any wonderful vision. I want a "substandard, impersonal distributed hotel", because I don't want to spend on money things I don't care about.

Pamman, a video game with a rock band
Dear Hacker News community, my name is Gabriele Picco, I am twenty years and I currently study computer science at the University of Turin. I am computer enthusiast, I love to develop games and applications for smartphones. I just finished my latest work: "Pamman", a casual game developed with a rock band. If you want to get an idea of the game here can see how it works: https://www.facebook.com/EugenioInViaDiGioia/videos/1123124254435979/
It is available for all major operating systems:

I would be most grateful if you could try and comment my game. Help me to spread a bit of my passion.

Thanks in advance for yours time.

Yours sincerely,

Is there a simple way to notice your own subtle mistakes, when writing in a foreign language? The missing articles in texts from Slavic people bug me more than they should and I wonder what kind of (stylistic) errors I myself make.

The English grammar is mostly just simplified German, but there are some constructs, which I know of, but do not naturally use (e.g. "your every …", "to name but two") - they somehow seem twisted to me. Another one are compound words, I have given up on distinguishing between spaces, hypens and actual compounds and just use spaces almost everywhere.

Until now Swift has not promised source compatibility so the developers should be ready to rewrite their code for new versions. I would not be surprised if Swift 2.3 support were dropped in the next version of XCode completely.

The migration tools are quite good though so going from 2.2 to 3.0 directly should not be much of a problem.

I think that in Python the problem was/is that the 2.x was already a massively used and mature language when the 3 came out.
It's not a simple text encoding. Almost all byte values are present with an approximately uniform distribution. No strings of 2 bytes or longer repeat in the sequence. There is no apparent structure if you show the data as an image.

If it's not just random junk, it looks non-trivial to me (which doesn't mean anything in case this is someone testing their home-brew encryption). 836 bytes is very little to work on with next to no context.

Because not caring for the issue has adverse effects in society.

It's not about individual happiness.

To give an extreme example, there are people who don't care about police violence. While they are might fine, and probably wont ever have to suffer it, the resulting society is worse than if they cared.
The problem is the spare bedroom, the lovingly handmade shawls, the selling off of those attic knickknacks doesn't scale. So you end up with things that look a lot like hotels, mass produced crap, and more mass produced crap.

That's an exaggeration but not much of one.

I agree that a lot of processes could be improved and simplified to augment the productivity.

But we shouldn't expect a huge productivity gain either. Most of public servant are professors, police officers, nurses and doctors a least in France. They won't gain in productivity as the parent said.

I think that the public sector is really bad at marketing itself... When we think about public servant, we think about administrative clerks, whereas in reality they're a small part of the public sector.
> I understand why a parent would want to raise a super-smart children

I openly don't (and I can't stand the narcissism that is involved in the reason). If you look at the parenting most parents do, they do it as if the child should be like them, just smarter or achieve more - but otherwise similar (as I said: narcissism).

On the other, here is an article (that has been brought up on HN some times in the past) about the life of a super-smart - it is easy to imagine how the life of the parents would be:

(BTW: If you look in the German Google News about "Höchstbegabung" (the German word meaning that your talent (in this case IQ) is at least 3 sigma above the average; FYI: "Hochbegabung" means 2 sigma above average) you will find more news about soccer than about "Höchstbegabung" in the sense of intelligence. This says a lot about the society, IMHO).

Because of modern communications, it's much easier for the State Department to manage overseas relations from Washington. There's the belief that it's okay to put political appointees in that position than career diplomats.

See also http://www.npr.org/2014/02/12/275897092/more-ambassador-post... , which highlights some of the errors of that view point, like when George Tsunis, nominee to become ambassador to Norway, said the leading Norwegian political party was a "fringe element."

Just two points for consideration:

1. Your argument does not explain simple cases like the building code example where there seems to be little to no chance of this kind of information having a foreseeable impact on the very foundations of the religion

2. The very foundations of religion are generally about questions that we with the human condition are by design not very likely to answer conclusively. How will you ever show that there is no God if technological progress is likely to enable us the construction of artifical realities in the future? The more I think rationally about my experience of the world and the future that we are (or better could be) walking towards the less I am able to reject the very foundations of religion.

My intent with this post is not to excuse some archaic traditions and injustice done in the name of religion but to highlight that there exist some very real parallels between the foundations of religions based on intuitive insight and rational thought based on scientific evidence.

Maybe we could life in a better world if we aimed to disregarded world views from politics and focused on the pragmatic matters at hand - that is how to best live together. Or why are we reading hacker news after all? :)

Swift 3 is a source-breaking release, largely due to the
changes in SE-0005 and SE-0006. These changes not only impact
the names of the Standard Library APIs, but also completely
change how Objective-C APIs (particularly from Cocoa) import
into Swift. Many of the changes are largely mechanical, but
they can be numerous in a typical Swift project.

To help with moving to Swift 3, Xcode 8.0 contains a code
migrator that can automatically handle many of the need source
changes. There is also a migration guide available to guide you
through many of the changes — especially through the ones that
are less mechanical and require more direct scrutiny.
