This could work from buyer/client side. If I want to buy image, I will check it with some service to be sure that I don't pay to pirate(newer&lightly changed image). But what If buyer doesn't use it?

I don't see the way how this could be implemented to blockchain. If every blockchain node downloaded and compared all images It would create massive bandwith and need for cpu/gpu power. Or am I missing something?
Google has been quoted as stating if they could get a 20 percent power/performance advantage buy switching to IBM Power they would do so, even if it were only for a single generation.

My question is, wouldn't this be possible with ARM?

I created this library in order to teach myself rust. In actuality I didn't require authoring many new types, so it ended up being a relatively small piece of rust to bite off. Very few if any new types were required, so I haven't yet gotten to dig deep on traits.

This library is appropriate for lots of non-rust development/testing, I've got examples for Python and Ruby.

I've only just recently added support for injecting faults into networking use cases (connect(), bind() et al).
Statistically speaking drone strikes are more significant because we kill more people each year (and more innocent bystanders) with drones than via trial and jury executions.

I think it is much harder for the person I was responding to to prove that somehow being on Death Row is more stressful than living in a war zone.
While I am all for hacking the scammers, its a little sad that it is so easy to steal information from Windows 10.
Some of the scammers were apparently laundering the money through casinos.
It's important to always rinse cat hair before consuming it.
This is not only about saving lives, it's the ethical point of it. Drone strikes are horrible, death penalty is horrible, both can be talked about.

I can't understand why American society has this need for narrow-focus in ONE specific issue at a time, is there a reason for this cultural approach?
We don't live in a Utopia. I don't need to be 100% confident that drone strikes are ONLY killing 100% bad guys. Tens of millions of people died in WW2. The answer to stoping drone strikes is increasing diplomacy in the Middle East - not burying our head in the sand and banning drones from doing drone strikes against enemy combatants.

Yes, but plenty of people on death row have been given a reprieve, or had their sentences changed to life imprisonment, or obtained full pardons if found innocent.

Pretty sure no one has fully recovered from a Hellfire missile through their kitchen or car window when someone checks the dossier later and goes "Oops, that was the target's brother, who happened to have his wife and kids with him at the time..."
I think you might have forgotten the most sanitizing procedure. Blowing on it. Works for NES cartridges and cat hair on a cookie.
Thanks for the pointers. Yeah, after you've bootstrapped once, you have a version to bootstrap another, especially since the new requirements to not depend on a nightly snapshot. rustup should be able to provide images that way which work on both alpine and void. The default would be a dynamically linked against musl rustup image which may still expose musl-static as a target just like it does on glibc hosts. I wouldn't complicate matters as a first step with questions of whether a musl image should be statically linked.
This is an excellent point, and I think much of the same principles apply to the abortion debate a well.
I always thought this was only a joke. I guess we've reached peak science.
He says the intervals are arbitrary, but they are not, or at least not as arbitrary as that. An octave is 2x the pitch, a fifth is exactly 3/2x the pitch, a major third is exactly 5/4x the pitch etc.

This is fine for instruments which can play an arbitrary pitch like a violin or trombone. But for fretted instruments like guitar, or ones which use a different oscillator per note like piano, xylophone or harmonica, one has to make a decision. Either you tune it to play perfect intervals and can therefore play in only one key, or you tune it to a compromise which can play in any key and sound OK, but no key "perfectly". Equal temperament is one such compromise and is described in the article.

For instruments which play often play long chords like strings, the difference between a perfect interval (as an orchestra would play) and an equal temperament imperfect interval (as a general purpose synthesiser will play) is stunning. Some synthesisers like those from Access have modes to automatically correct the tuning of the third, fifth and maybe seventh harmonics to make them perfect.

It always starts underground. When it breaks out into the mainstream, it won't even be a movement anymore, it will just be life as usual. That green lock will be gone from the browser, along with any protocols that do not end in "s". The dozen or so communications apps on your phone will be encrypting everything, but not exposing any configuration.

And, only one company will sign everyone's public key, because regular users just want to delegate everything to a familiar name. Then we will need another revolution, an underground network of public key signers. With names like 51GNpnk and TheRealBob. One of TheRealBobs will come smoke a joint with you in your parent's basement, and sign your key for $5, so that you can get into the Minecraft party on the weekend.
Yeah, also the STM support is often overlooked and is a good fit for some tasks where everything else is much harder.

After reading this article my conclusion is that Rust is some kind of static-typed Perl with a focus on memory safety.

The syntax is horrid.

steveklabnik asked me once why I thought Rust is more complex than C++. Well, if one takes a look at any of the Rust snippets in this article without being deeply disturbed by the @'s the .'s, &'s and *'s, then we have a completely different idea about what it means to build a user-friendly and ergonomic programming language.

Luckily I don't have to pick between Rust and Go, but if I had to I would just stick to Python and use type annotations after reading this.
This is not the point. The point is not why they exist, or why we are at war. The point is that drones are better that stealth bombers. They are more targeted. Less civilians die.

I agree, we should fix our diplomacy and hopefully we'll live in a world without drones one day. But in the mean time, fixing our prisons is more important.
I wonder how human beings from centuries ago (and actual animals) have been able to survive without our clean like a lab environment?

Would it be possible that we overstate quite a bit the danger of everything?

I prefer my beer, cheeses non pasteurised and I prefer raw milk (after being boiled). And I think the food coming from puritans victorian inspired countries taste blend like the catholic religion.

He should remain alive because it's simpler to have a general rule not to kill people. Once you start doing executions you get a bunch of innocent people killed too in practice.
I started music with classical piano and only recently started transposing instrument (bamboo flute), and am trying to get used to movable do solfege. I'm still easily confused when key change occurs or borrowed chord appears. (For the latter there are limited patterns so I should remember them, I guess.)
There was some use of self-modifying code, although I can't find exact references. It'll be on Raymond Chen's blog somewhere.

I don't think it should matter whether the original source was VC or not, and if you write a solution that does make it matter you'll find yourself tripped up a lot. (Your favourite game turns out to have been compiled with Watcom or Borland rather than VC, etc). Presumably if you could find the 16-bit VB interpreter bits and pieces you could run those too and run your VB app.

Of course it picks up bacteria. Bacteria are numerous and everywhere. But we've lived with them so long that we can deal with unsterile environments for the most part. Most people for most of history were not germaphobes, and didn't even know bacteria existed. If eating something off the floor had a high chance of killing you, the human race would not have survived this long.

Only bacteria that have evolved to infect humans really scare me. So in a public place I probably would not pick something off the ground. But in my own house, I know no one there had tuberculosis. In my life I've eaten tons of berries and stuff that grow outside or even on the ground, and have never had a problem.
> Ideally, the law would set that speed limit to ~20mph since that is what a person pedaling can readily achieve.

Federal law already does that (in the USA, at least). E-Bikes sold in the US can't go faster than 20mph.

You're also right in that e-bikes aren't going to revolutionize commuting anywhere but in crowded cities. It does solve the last mile problem, though. Trains can get you from the country to the city and the ebike can get you through the city faster than anything other than a motorcycle.

They're also fun as hell to ride. :)
"Unix systems" when referred to in this space generally means proprietary Unixes (which are all Open Group certified) - Solaris, AIX, etc etc.
My philosophy is that I just don't waste food. Has nothing to do with "five second" rules. If I just spent time making an amazing sandwich, and it drops on the kitchen floor mostly intact. I'm sure as shit eating it. Obviously gloppy sauces, and subway tunnels, I'm not going to scrape off the ground. For the rest, that's why we have immune systems.
Yeah I saw that post, it was quite depressing. I'm a techie that has no interests in management, and where I live rent is £950+/mo (around $1300) without bills/council tax etc.

There's nothing quite like slaving away all day, completing on-call shifts and doing work on the weekends now and then, and being able to save barely any money towards buying a house instead of renting (as renting is a mug's game in the south of the UK).
I thought it was the 5 minute rule. Or the "if you see food on the floor, and it wasn't there yesterday, it's good" rule.
Its absolutely true. I've already decided and I'm teaching my grandkids that, regardless of what Nana says.
It's nice to see a statement of regret, but it really bothers me how rarely those who feel this way do anything about it while in positions of power. This Warden claims to have felt it wrong in the moment, yet he did not make the faintest of sacrifices to oppose it. It would be much more influential for a well-regarded Warden to publicly oppose or resign over such policies, than to obey them blindly and issue a mea culpa years later when he no longer has influence. Read the passage below, and consider the lack of courage required to kill someone in a way you feel is pointless at best, and morally heinous at worst, because it's your "job." How many extra years of capital punishment will we have, how many extra prisoners killed, because people in his position took too long to speak up?

> Regardless of their crimes, the fact that I was now to be personally involved in their executions forced me into a deeper reckoning with my feelings about capital punishment. After much contemplation, I became convinced that, on a moral level, life was either hallowed or it wasn’t. And I wanted it to be.

> I could not see that execution did anything to enhance public safety. While death penalty supporters suggest that capital punishment has the power of deterrence, a 2012 report by the National Research Council found that research “is not informative about whether capital punishment decreases, increases or has no effect on homicide rates.”

> I now believed that capital punishment was a dismal failure as a policy, but I was still expected to do my job. So I met with my staff and explained my position. I made it known that anyone who felt similarly opposed could back out of our assignment. According to state policy, assisting in the executions was voluntary for everyone but the superintendent. And yet each of those asked to serve chose to stay to ensure that the job was done professionally.

I wish someone would do this in nim and compare the results.

My wishful thinking is that nim would come in at the same number of lines as Python and very close to Rust's performance.
which sometimes brings ridiculous situations, when people like Breivik are sentenced to 21 years, because that's the Norway limit.

that's showing a weakness to evil, and weakness will always be eventually used against the best intentions of original authors (in his case, I wouldn't mind firing squad right after trial, in same way he killed those kids). there is 0% doubt about his full guilt, and almost 100% chance he will never add any positive value to mankind, ever.
Because the article wasn't comparing F# to imperative languages. It was comparing it to other functional languages and asking why F# is unpopular among functional programmers.
You can almost guess what instrument the composer played because of that bias. If you see a violin piece with 6 flats, it's a pretty good guess that the composer didn't play violin.
I'm not sure he really conflates the two things any more than necessary.

The unpleasantness he describes is the result of moral doubts about killing a person who no longer poses a threat to anyone.

What he does, in my view, is to suggest that these doubts are justified and society as a whole should have those doubts as well.

In other words, he gives a human face to the agony that society should feel about this.

He isn't saying, oh the death penalty is great, but it feels so bad to administer it for some reason, so let's save ourselves the trouble, shall we?

Ask HN: Should I give equity to early employees?
Hello HN,

I'm working on a women's shoe brand and I know the most common way to grow the brand is to reach out to influencers in my niche. However, the top influencers will most likely not work with me unless I pay them, which I can't afford to at the moment and the smaller ones may work with me by giving out free product but I don't know if it's worth giving out free inventory. So I was thinking of offering equity to these top influencers just like tech startups offer to their employees. I was thinking of reserving around 5% and splitting that between the top influencers. This way I won't have to pay them and they will have more of an incentive to post. I'm just curious as to what your thoughts are on this?

Thanks

If there is any question of guilt, then the death penalty would not be an appropriate sentence. There are many examples where there is no question of guilt, where I feel the death penalty would be completely appropriate. Admitted serial killers for example.
I'm not advocating a liberal use of the death sentence, but I still feel that there are cases where it's needed. If anyone doesn't agree, make an argument instead of downvoting. HN is better than that.
Schneier is a well-regarded expert on cryptography, but outside of that domain, he appears to have very little relevant experience.

(My Opinion): This is a business decision. The user is a captive audience (no alternatives available), so Apple has a disincentive to optimize anything other than profit generators.

I wasn't aware that anyone took the "Five Second Rule" seriously. I thought everyone knew it was a sarcastic joke.
I helped too by paying my taxes. I'm responsible for the death and destruction caused by my country and it makes me sick to my stomach.
I'm pretty sure the "5 second rule" is just something people (like myself) use to justify doing something gross, such as eating something that was dropped; and at least in my case, I never believed for a minute that it was "sanitary" if it spent less than 5 seconds on the floor.

It's more a mental thing ... if it's only been there for 5 seconds, it's cool. If it is longer than 5 seconds, well, then you're eating food that's been sitting on the floor. Now that I'm typing it, it makes even less sense -- but that doesn't mean I'm going to stop doing it. I've made it 30+ years without side-effect ... ha

Death isn't easier. The cost of imprisoning someone for life is still less than putting them on death row.
I want wondering if someone used an INT instead of a LONG somewhere but then that would be giving them the benefit of the doubt that this isn't nonsense cover-up for corruption.
there is 7 billion people on earth, and number is growing fast. rather than focusing on preserving quantity at all costs, which is not an issue anyway, we should focus on quality (character, added value to mankind etc.).

With this reasoning, killing a murdered of your own child (or any similar case, ie parents/loved one) isn't that much of a stretch. Extreme situations call for extreme solutions
I would offer yet another point of view: people are generally so inept, that if it is justice one wants, a death penalty should be avoided since the chances of someone being wrongly condemned are quite likely.

So, is it so important that the guilty are snuffed out that one is ready to accept collateral damage in the form of innocent being put to death.
Because most people familiar with programming can grasp an imperative language easily even if they may not be completely familiar with the language.

Functional programming is like alien to them because it may not be entirely obvious what the instructions are doing at first glance.

Thanks. That's a nice idea... but if it's that simple I might as well just use a static markdown to html converter, if I don't need the support for diagram generation (which admittedly looks like a killer feature). For example, pandoc supports that (or latex -> html or pretty much anything else), and the results are similar, e.g. (in this case, specifying a very small amount of additional css):
http://pandoc.org/demo/example3.html

I'm currently using couscous (http://couscous.io/) to convert markdown to html but it's far more work to use, and does a whole bunch more than that, such as twig templates, so I'll consider switching to markdeep or pandoc.

on the subject of deterrence, if the author argues that the death penalty is not a deterrence, how does he explain the relatively low levels of drug crimes in asian countries where death penalty is more heavily used? It appears to me the death penalty, while used as a potential punishment threat in the U.S, is actually a sparsely applied. Criminals know that, so its deterrence factor is effectively diminished
It's a social convention not a piece of 'folk physics'. You know it's dirty but you don't have to explicitly say that you don't care.
