Guccifer 2.0 could also just be who he claims to be, which is an ethnic Romanian hacker living in Moldova who launches attacks through Russian servers because he/she knows any kind of US state dept req for evidence from that server will be ignored. I would assume this to be a personal beef against the Obama/Clinton admin for locking up Guccifer 1.0 by somebody in his crew not automatically assume nefarious nation state actors are behind the leaks.
The man, this "off-duty cop", attacked and battered two other people and held them against their will (kidnapping). Where are the charges for this?

> "The study found increased (although still low) risks of these tumors in male rats exposed to RF radiation, although there was no increased risk among female rats."

> "There was again a suggestion of a possible increased risk in the 10% of people who used their cell phones the most, but this was hard to interpret because some people reported implausibly high cell phone use, as well as other issues."

> "Some studies have found a possible link. For example, several studies published by the same research group in Sweden have reported an increased risk of tumors on the side of the head where the cell phone was held, particularly with 10 or more years of use."

> "A recent small study in people has shown that cell phones may also have some other effects on the brain, although it’s not clear if they’re harmful. The study found that when people had an active cell phone held up to their ear for 50 minutes, brain tissues on the same side of the head as the phone used more glucose than did tissues on the other side of the brain."

How can people dismiss this as not worrying? How can people bring these concerns into discourse without being labeled a Luddite?
Barcelona is a great city, but the construction of its subway is not the best example.

The construction of the Barcelona subway caused the collapse of at least one building, and over 50 needed to be evacuated in El Carmelo neighborhood.

Currently the construction of the subway is under investigation due to fraud, and bribery in the national court.
Excuse me? For all intents and purposes $2400 a year is less than I spend on parking every year. This is not a "startup" salary, this is less than 1/10th the salary of your typical QA engineer IN MEXICO.

I see a lot of posts in this thread that seem to be trying to whitewash the work hours and the pay as somehow reasonable. They're not, not even for the notoriously-bad-to-work-for game industry.
If there are other things to build for production, sure, throw SASS in too but if not, it's not worth it just to keep your repo "pure."
There exists only one superblock so far, and it is a prototype. It was created last month.

The hype is well ahead of the reality.

You can find plans for more superblocks, but the official website is mostly in Catalan only, so it might not be too helpful to you (assuming you don't speak Catalan)

"Google should write EMR software. They would probably be pretty good at it."

They (Google DeepMind) are actually doing it for the NHS. I was surprised how much of their work with NHS seems to be UI/UX and "normal" backend/client engineering, rather than ML. It looks very good. I hope they are going to open source it.

How would you solve things without combining characters? Especially the case where you can have multiple diacritics on a letter. Encode every single combination of all of them? Seems a bit wasteful, don't you think?

Precomposed characters exist because they existed in other encodings previously and encoding such characters has been one of the core principles of Unicode to ensure an easy upgrade path. Heck, we inherited box drawing characters that way, which I think are more questionable than combining diacritics.
Four, actually, but two have been removed for brevity.

That's because they don't exist yet, except for one temporary one that was created last month.

As was said earlier, finding the right tool is essential. jQuery can still be used if the problem you are solving is limited and confined in scope. We had a website where angular is almost everywhere, we created a new page where there is just a list of check boxes, and another dev did that with Backend code. I just added a small jQuery event listener as the page needed nothing more than to disable a certain set of buttons when one from a set is selected. I could have re-written the entire stuff making angular get the model from server and then using angular in the view. But no, it was just not worth it.
If you see that your jQuery component is building up (adding more functionality) then it gets messy/spaghetti etc. But if the interviewer straight away dismissed you at the sound of jQuery you are better off not working there.
But working on a blogging engine (producing feeds) or saying parsing libraries will handle it is just externalizing the problems with RSS to the consumers. That's where the real pain point is: understanding the content of an RSS feed, especially when thousands of feeds can have a multitude of different quirks.
Better to be dead forever and never have a shred of hope than look like a fool for actually trying something.
you don't even have to go that small.

in Singapore the typical hdb flat for a family is 2-3 br which is between 900 to 1100 sqft (but goes up to 4 brs at 1600 sqft). and on a habitable land basis it is one of the densest cities in the world. so yes you can provide liveable spaces to a lot of people and have them all in the same area at once.

but they also have a state admin that controls a large proportion of residential land supply and is willing to sacrifice property prices as the main method of wealth creation (which imo is a good thing, because firstly one can never fully unlock that kind of equity in his life as long as he needs a place to stay, and second because it pulls capital away from productive sectors)
Not a Portland resident, but I'd assume it reduces the blight of parking lots and makes neighborhoods more walkable?
Thank you for stalking. The paper you cite is preclinical work in mice, and the mechanistic association between starvation conditions and autophagy induction were already well understood before this paper. (That was, in fact, the Nobel-winning work on which you commented.) Any consequential claims of autophagy are unsupported by data in that paper, even in mice. The claim that autophagy has net "health benefits" or "life extension properties" in humans is completely unsupported and not something on which there is professional medical guidance.

HN is replete with medical and health claims that should not be propagated by responsible people. Face it: IT professionals don't have expertise in this area, but that doesn't apparently stop you from having opinions and propagating them authoritatively as truth. If you'd like to do original research in this area, please do, but don't spread misinformation as if it's factual.
There are lots of parallels to fraud detection! Label imbalance is the obvious one: in both cases, you're looking for the proverbial needle in the haystack, so techniques like anomaly detection or unsupervised learning are really important.

I haven't given much thought to the operations research side of things. I think what I'd ask about any idea there are the same ones I'd ask about any B2B business: first, what's the hard ROI for the customer? How can you measure it? If you succeed, what makes this defensible over time?
Julia is a lot (lot) faster than Python, Matlab or R. This doesn't matter so much if you're gluing library calls together (if using well-known ML algorithms that use native BLAS/LAPACK etc) but for custom stuff Python et al are just too slow. Julia is comparable to C++ in speed (not as fast, but within an order of magnitude in my experience) and it's MUCH more fun to write.

There are definitely not more libraries though, it's still a young project.
Contract law has had a good run so far, I expect it to continue to have one unless we kill all the lawyers. Even then the concept of a written will is very old.

Maybe I should rephrase my overarching point since it seems to be lost in the details. Concerns over scamming by exploiting family or in general not doing with your remains what you wanted to have done ought to be the least of one's concerns when making a decision on cryonics, unless there's a serious problem with contract law in Europe. I believe Alcor won't even accept you unless you have an official, legal will about it, precisely to defend against family members overriding your decision, since case law on upholding wills is pretty solid. That suddenly changing in 20-60+ years seems pretty unlikely. There are bigger threats to spend more time modeling. Even proponents only estimate around a 5% chance of successfully being revived, were they suspended today (see http://www.overcomingbias.com/2009/03/break-cryonics-down.ht...). I don't think anyone who is signed up thinks they have a sure shot at revival, let alone dying in a convenient enough fashion to be usefully preserved, and the two big cryonics orgs in America certainly don't market it that way. The calculation usually goes that for a modest monthly payment on a life insurance plan covering ~$80k, you have a small chance of cheating death, versus having no chance (barring truly magic-like powers like reconstructing you from others' memories/dna/browser history/etc.) if you die and get buried or cremated the normal way.

Jurisdictions are quite important when deciding whether something's "illegal".

Seems like that's twice the minimum wage where it happened (just from reading the post/comments), so it's extremely unlikely to be "illegal" where it happened.

(it's a curious question as to whether there's anything illegal, and if so, on who's part, if a Mexican business is paying above-local-minimum wage salaries to people who are not local. If you _accept_ a remote job where the renumeration is disclosed but below your local minimum wage - I wonder if any law has been broken, and if so, by who?)

Is WhatsApp Hacked?
oh sure.. but the cognates are close enough that you can get a rough idea of what's being talked about in a lot of cases...
True, that, behavior-wise. It's the comma that actually defines the tuple, though, hence (1) being different than (1,) and x = 1,2 assigning (1,2).

In the particular case of a print statement, the grouping parens disambiguate between the comma meaning multiple args and a single arg that's a tuple, once Python 2 implicitly wraps the entire right side with function calling parens.

In the end it's really a form of operator precedence. The from __future__ version behaves differently only because the function calling parens are now explicit and so tuple grouping parens must be added too if desired.

> a large body of people are convinced by their lived experiences [1] that police violence is racially biased, and this conviction is further supported by a massive number of known individual cases

Okay, we know that there's an effect. No one is arguing that black people not only feel that way, but interact with (and are killed by) police at a higher-than-white per capita rate. That certainly should be addressed, and is a major social concern.

I think we agree on how to interpret the data at least this far -- that there's an effect, originally identified anecdotally by black people but supported by data, where black people are killed by police more often per capita. (Numbers I've seen are like 2.5x per capita -- but order of magnitude, I think we can agree on somewhere between 2x and 5x.)

Where we disagree, and I think we're just going to have to disagree, is that this is evidence that there's a lot of systemic racism going on. (Think "70 cent" wage gap, not "95 cent" wage gap.)

I think we're seeing a little bit of active racism, a lot of lingering economic effects of historic racism, a little bit of active cultural maladaptation, and a lot of general police violence. (That's me "thinking about the issue with an open mind" -- that distribution is basically the prior on social issue breakdown.)

You seem to suggest that the data suggests just "a lot of racism", which is where I disagree: I don't think the evidence is anywhere near moving the needle from the prior of "complex weave of the usual issues" to "outright, ongoing, systemic racism".

> But if you think about the issue with an open mind, you're still going to feel pretty damn confident about what's actually going on.

Finally, I just want to say, that this argument supports literally anything that sounds appealing, regardless of how likely it is to be true. There's a long history of creating new problems while attempting to solve problems by adopting solutions that make no sense upon detailed analysis, but sound good or appeal to our emotions in some way.
That seems to be likely.
It's entirely possible a highly-paid legal counsel like Apple or Google has finds out the emperor is wearing no clothes and NSL's are unenforceable.

The question is: who is willing to find out? There's all kinds of nasty stuff the gov can do to you personally for trying to fight an NSL - loss of gov contracts, detention at custom and border control, no-fly list, etc.

Nobody is denying that Apple is making money. "Profit" is a great metric. Profit share is a terrible one. Because how much money Apple makes is precisely the point, and whether a competitor has wide margins, narrow ones, or negative ones does not affect how much money Apple makes, but it does affect their profit-share.

Huawei and Apple have roughly equal marketshare. If "nobody wants" to buy a phone from an unprofitable manufacturer, how come that's true?
Apparently, yes. http://kerbaldevteam.tumblr.com/
"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."

No, not really. Unless you count being an example of what not to do.
There's room for all kinds of housing - but many types are flat out illegal in many parts of the US. And zoning codes are such that cities cannot adapt as they grow.
Unfortunately the overheating issues on 810 made a lot of this gen Android devices unable to perform well under load for extended periods of time. There's nothing you can really do when the SoC throttles down to almost no performance after a bit of time.

> But it sounds like the core apps on iOS work the way they want them to, whereas the alternatives on Android are all lacking.

It doesn't make sense to compare the core apps on iOS to the alternatives on Android. The core apps on Android are just as good as (I would say better than) the core apps on iOS.
It's easy to verify that they received TARP money and donated to Democratic PACs because both of those things are public information and completely legal to do. What Guccifer 2.0 claims goes far beyond that - that there's an explicit kickback donation scheme that funnels a percentage of TARP funds back to the lawmakers who authorized it. Proving that would require proving that the spreadsheet was actually created by a Clinton Foundation staffer and not fabricated by the hacker. That's very difficult to do, much more difficult than simply verifying the donation amounts.

Edit: With recent information that this appears to be recycled info from the DCCC hack rather than from the Clinton Foundation, any credibility Guccifer 2.0 may have had should go out the window. The blog post is flat-out lying about the source of the data and contents.
Also, if you disclose that you received a NSL, that probably means you at least read the thing you're leaking before leaking it.
Where I live (Cambridge), many people rent an apartment that doesn't come with a parking spot. Instead these people pay the city for a street parking permit. Hypothetically the city ensures that the number of permits matches available supply, though prevention of illegal parking is difficult and sporadic.

Anyway, these people rely on their vehicles for transportation to work or school, and they pay for a parking spot. If a huge influx of drivers arrived without corresponding parking supply increases, I'm not sure these folks would be able to reliably park near their homes or get to work.

We can imagine solutions involving increasing the street permit price, etc., but fundamentally more drivers without more supply (road* and parking) is bad for current drivers.

Well. There's enough quality content in this thread to start a dedicated cable television channel, a la Viceland ;)

Not sure if it's my favorite. And the subject is more technology than "tech". But the talk that keeps haunting me is Michael Dearing's lecture from the Reid Hoffman "Blitzscaling" class at Stanford:

Heroes of Capitalism From Beyond The Grave

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vCdfa_aeI8

Dearing draws upon an obscure letter by Daniel McCallum, superintendant of the New York and Erie Railroad, written to his bosses in the 1850s. In the report, McCallum bemoans the stress and frustration of operating a railroad system spanning thousands of miles. All of the joy and magic he used to revel in whilst running a fifty mile stretch back in his home town has long since dissipated. Furthermore, the unit cost per mile seems to be exploding rather counter-intuitively!

Dearing goes on to elucidate the absolute necessity of the railroads ("the thing to know about the railroads is: they were startups once") themselves. As guarantors of civilization and progress. Beacons bringing light and reason to the dark swamps of ignorance and inhumanity. And not just in the physical transport of goods, people and ideas across the continent. But as the wealth created from that creative destruction remains the best cure for all of our other inimical maladies: poverty, injustice, disease and stagnation.

So, no pressure. But civilization depends upon you!

But... Cicero was writing in high-register Latin in 50 BC (give or take). He would have had nothing to do with the vulgar Latin of 270 AD, and less to do with the Latin of the European middle ages. Wikipedia's page on "Classical Latin" defines it as the formal Latin of ~75 BC up to "3rd century AD" (reminds me of 270 AD!), when it was replaced by Late Latin. This essentially means that Classical Latin is defined as "the Latin of Cicero".

Pre-Cicero, you have Old Latin, which I agree is generally not taught.
