You can either rank the vote manually or vote for a party and they get to pick how the vote is ranked between all the candidates.
Why would you pay to imprison illegal immigrants? Also there's some amount of evidence that says increasing punishment doesn't necessarily act as increased deterrent to some crimes past a certain point.

I'd wager those self-proclaimed audiophiles can't either, or maybe just. My dad is one of those and it's all imagination. Give him a song he doesn't know yet and he can't tell whether you're playing the flac or 192k mp3 version. 128k seems audible if you're looking for it on good hardware.
Is this a serious question?

It's a check on direct democracy, which I think is fine in principle. It's the same reason the US has a constitution.

Funny how yesterday there were posters here accusing the NYT model as pro Hillary biased. What could they do better if the polls were simply wrong? Their election day forecast model was pretty impressive - it detected the swing early in the evening.

I just spent 3 weeks talking in circles about their Android app and buggy Bluetooth support. Even after telling them that I'm a software engineer and explaining the technicalities of the bug that was happening, I still got referred to the "Bluetooth setup" section of their guides with a copy / paste email. After several more emails it ended in "we'll email you when we have more info".

I started my Google play music subscription two days ago.
Their customer support beyond pre-recorded rhetoric is abysmal.
I find Gamergate is the classic example of the surge of anti-feminism and sexism that appears to be becoming mainstream. Nowadays it's not just about the 'femi-nazis' like in the past, it's the self-victimization of white males. It appears Trump gave them an avenue to 'feel strong' again. And this is in juxtaposition to Hillary who run a noticeable feminist campaign (as opposed to Obama, who _didn't_ run a noticeable black campaign).
Here's the thing, though: federal lands are administered directly by the federal government. The only avenues they have for rule-making are Congressional statutes and agency regulations. There is nothing else available to them to achieve the goal of making and enforcing a rule, because that's how they're legally set up.

So to forbid washing fish at a faucet in a national park... you literally do have to make a federal law (or a regulation with the force of federal law).

This is also why they have their own law-enforcement agency (the United States Park Police): Congress was, for a very long time, reluctant to authorize a general federal police force, so many agencies have their own specific police force operating solely within that agency's jurisdiction. It also creates fun inter-jurisdictional issues since the U.S Capitol building has its own separate police force, but the Capitol building is on the National Mall, which is Park Police territory.

As a Java guy (who is very into Java 8 and very not into old-school software patterns), I was very amused when I learned that Angular has factories.

This just reinforces my view that JavaScript is going through the same phase Java frameworks did a while ago -- lots of people trying to figure out which kinds of frameworks and patterns to use, until one reaches the AbstractFactoryFactory and the whole ecosystem becomes a punchline.

Link-local addresses are not routable and are not meant for application use, they're just for low level things like neighbour discovery and router advertisements (analogous to IPv4 ARP/DHCP).

There's also ULA that can be used for non-internet connected networks and some other special scenarios, but it would be a bad idea (and against recommended practice) to use them to port your RFC1918 addressing to IPv6.
I can guarantee you prison is not going to be the same after Trump "reforms" the system :) They're not going to be using tax money to feed themselves.
Ask HN: How much software is duplicated?
Just a thought while reading this post about Jobs on the other side of the sea:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12906019

Why are there so many software jobs? Practically speaking; How many Software do we really need to write?

There's the reason of 'Programming Language' used. But even if we just picked 'Java'; we'd still have a lot of Jobs all over the world. There are jobs that actually write new software, stuff like ML, Driving Cars, etc., but those are just a small fraction of all the jobs - right?

I do understand that Capitalism doesn't care. But I just wanna have a better view on just how much 'Java Jobs' are practically the same (just a little different DB schema and CSS).
Spotify clogs the write queue on my workstation (w/ssd), giving me 2 second freezes every 5mins or so. I don't know if it's this bug, but the disk write numbers and database file match, and the only remedy is exiting Spotify.
Maybe its the same reason as Sam Altman has for owning a remote patch of land so that in case of things going really bad, he can fly there because he has all the important stuff (water, food, antibiotics, gold etc) stored there.
I'm sorry, but that sounds like the kind of thing an edy 18 year old would say.

There are no examples of 350 million people being governed WITHOUT a government, and for good reasons.
Sadly, after his death it's unclear what will happen. His widow and the foundation have stated that they're likely to return the land to Chile (it has been controversial that it was privately held) and hope that the government will treat it with the same care.
If there is already a significant shortage of housing it might not be in the peoples interest to allow a business model that encourages people to buy up existing stock and turn it into unregulated hotels.

You might argue that the real problem is the shortage of housing and even point to other causes but any solution to same might be years in coming if it comes at all.

In the meanwhile if its a significant negative to individual states/counties/cities I see no reason not to enforce existing or enact in fact new regulations to forbid it.

Surely those with access to significant capital can find other ways to profitably invest their money.
Men vs. Women – who manages finance better?
I agree that a disturbing percentage of mainstream USA in on board with it, I don't think it's 100% of them though.

Democrats have generally been opposed to torture. That's half the country right there. For the other half of the country, a huge part of the Republican base are Christian voters, who ought to be at the tip of the spear of the fight against torture, but in practice seem to neither explicitly condone nor condemn it. But I'll be charitable and assume that the evangelical segment of the party is steadfast against torture, meaning that at least 2/3s of Republican voters are against torture. That leaves no more than 1/6th of the US population on board with torture. That's still pretty messed up, but I'm trying to be optimistic. :(
While any such system would obviously be a radical change from our current system, such systems do exist both conceptually and historically, and it's not just stateless societies. The most obvious example is sortition, whereby officials are selected randomly. Again, applying that everywhere overnight is obviously radical, but the idea is fairly sound. It's how jury duty works in the United States, and it's how Athenian democracy (mostly) worked.
The only part that wasn't real was the fact that the futures hit the limit-down circuit breakers, which means the market wasn't totally free. Otherwise, yeah. That's real money. A bunch of people overreacted and sold SPX 6% lower than where it closed the next day. Potentially they were hedging derivatives, but either way, frantically selling in a sliding market is not a position you want to be in.
The mechanism for dealing with this between countries is by signing treaties. The mechanism for dealing with this between US states is by passing federal laws.
It's news because they were an interesting idea that ran through $65M of venture money with some turmoil and then folded. If you you think you're seeing a generational change in the way retail works and you see a charismatic founder who has found what looks like a new winning formula it doesn't seem that crazy to back her and see what happens. If you're the founder and you think you have fair odds at going from all of a small business to a large slice of the next H&M by pushing growth really hard then maybe that sounds like a good idea. My guess is that was the decision and she decided to go for growth, it would be interesting to hear why it blew up though.
Thank you for the link, that press conference is quite fascinating.

I would expect there to already be a federal law prohibiting fraud.
The causation is they are microscopic ufos (vaccines), mercury is an electrical conductor and heavy metal and toxin (brain axons Vs infant development), and mercury was known to cause illness and be toxic since 500bc [dartmouth], and the perfect place for the flu virus to incubate would be somewhere wet warm and loving, like an incubator or womb (uturus/testies)

The data is not spurious: there's a catalyst at 1975 when they doubled vaccine rate every 5 yrs, and the data is focusing on private/reproductive parts cancer and infant development.

Anyway the strange part is that scientists just call names, post fud and try to slander my character. And I can't get any of them to look at the data. And hacker news and reddit just delete or group-down vote the data and hide and ignore it. Really frustrating experience dealing with the hn crowd. I had my 300+ karma on-topic post history account shadow banned for posting about mercury correlation.
Perhaps in areas where housing is in short supply holding a housing vacant should results in a rather punitive tax.
I find it ironic that in America, where child rearing is the epitome of life in mainstream culture, parents are so awful at it, especially at instilling independence and freedom, something we claim to value more than anything. This article is only interesting in comparison with our failed parenting. In comparison to many other cultures, it's pretty mundane and similar.

I think Hype is a great force in our modern, connected, globalised world and entities like Elon Musk identify this and fuel it to their advantage, to the max.

It is the best marketing/ad delivery channel. There is ad blockers everywhere. So what is the channel that cannot be blocked and scales really well?

People talking. In other words, identify a population group that are gullible, provide stuff that can make them talk about you and your company. You got free, perpetual, scaleable, targeted publicity. What more do you need?

You just need to keep providing stuff that they can talk about. Like Hyperloop, Mars colonies etc etc. No one cares if they are bogus and wouldn't work. People have short term memory anyway.
Avoid verbose REST all together unless your core buisness is deliverying REST API for a non-evolving purpose.

Lately my impression is that Mac is still gaining ground with developers. At least where I work, virtually every new developer asks for a Mac. I find it a bit strange because then they have to faff around with homebrew to get a decent GNU build, which is what we need for development. Pretty (Mac) still seems to be favoured over flexible (GNU/Linux). Maybe one day...
I prefer to bing things on duckduckgo.
Ooh, thanks for the reminder about this subreddit. I've actually been there before and remember it being quite funny. Lots of examples of subtle (and not so subtle) product placement.
Any recommendation that does not start with statistics and continue with statistics for a while isn't serious.
I disagree. I would argue that his campaign proved otherwise.

Promising to never accept special interest money, only to go on to actively seek out and take it a mere months later, proves that it's necessary to win in an election.

why would mexico pay for the wall? 9 out of 10 times when someone asks this question they are not aware of the fact that we had a $58 billion trade deficit with mexico in 2015. trumps proposal is to use this and all the other leverage we have over mexico to get them to pay for the wall. at first glance it seems that it would be very much in mexicos best financial interest to cooperate, actually. most liberals think he just says that mexico will build the wall and that he does not offer any kind of plan or explanation. this is because they never actually confirm their presumptions. im not saying that his plan is great or will even work. but it is a plan and although it is unconventional, it is also plausible.

the most concerning aspect of trumps policies is that regarding climate. but thankfully renewable energy is now well on its way. its not a fragile infant anymore -- it will survive trump if not explode into popularity under trump despite his stance on the environment.

the trump movement was a grass roots movement. People voted for him because he said that he will stop companies from outsourcing their work with simple tax implementations. they lifted him from obscurity and into the presidency. take a look at the other times he ran and you can see what his campaign would have been like without the grass roots element: nothing. trump would not be president if people in the mid-west had good employment and a sense of financial security.

and as for the sexual assault thing, i would rather have trump be elected than see bill clinton back in the white house because bill clinton is literally a rapist. i know it may come as a huge shock for liberals -- being a liberal it was a huge shock to me -- but its true. i know this is not the most reputable source but before you disagree with me i would like you to watch this video of a woman recounting the event.

Even if the concept is reasonable, it seems like these specifics should be treated as data and not their own separate law. Just have laws about trademarks, then store all the specific trademarks (including Smokey the Bear, 4-H, etc.) in the trademark registry. Likewise, there should be a law about invasive species, and a database of the actual species that are covered.

The trouble with listing a dozen very specific laws like this and considering them all reasonable is this: what if the list had 1,000 items? 10,000? And with no way to know which are the actual meaty laws (like trademark law) and which are just specific instances of said laws (like Smokey the Bear).
For one, Obama has actually made progress towards accomplishing that, despite the Congress's efforts to block it.

It's not a terrible idea in general, I personally think it's potentially a great idea, but like you I do think the Raspberry Pi was a poor choice for this use-case.

This is a bit of overblown "look at the crazy foreigners!" Most people don't raise kids through the same ages in multiple countries so they have no idea what the real differences are. There is also more variation in the USA.

Here in San Francisco you can go watch little kids doing this exact same thing every single day. Teachers walking the kids to Golden Gate Park, showing them how to wait for the WALK sign, look both ways for cars, etc with no parents around.

It is also extremely common advice to make your kids cleanup after themselves to learn responsibility. At 18 months they naturally want to help, so you give them jobs to do and slowly ramp up the complexity.

The only thing unique to Japan (that I got from the article anyway) is that really young kids walk to school by themselves. Part of this might be urban vs suburban/rural, I'm not sure. SF doesn't bus kids, and I definitely see middle-schoolers navigating muni on their own. Not sure how much younger that goes.

Not if the tax is on removing it from the ground to begin with. And we could issue sanctions on anyone who doesn't impose the same tax in their own country.

HTTP fallback is a vulnerability in websites. It can be solved by using HSTS, or partially solved with secure cookies and redirecting to https.

If a browser disobeys these principles and uses HTTP anyway, that's a serious vulnerability. Same if a phone downgrades to insecure stuff.
The difference is that you operate in a cooperative environment(well, most of the time) within your team. The president operates in an antagonistic environment by default - even if Congress is controlled by the same party, the two sides of government(executive/legislative) are supposed to keep each other in balance.

I otherwise agree that the measure is too simple.
Trump hates net neutrality
The ease of the prosecution proving their cases is not a higher priority to me than the feasibility of an average citizens reading and understanding most laws.
Well the story to me is basically: money plays a gigantic factor and allows you to win elections, because it gives you exposure.

You can beat that moneyed system if you happen to be an eccentric billionaire, who happens to have been a household name for decades, who will say anything, racist, misogynistic, hateful, lies and false promises, to get the exposure to get elected despite not paying for it.

Just about anything else and you need money to get exposure, get on television, get yourself in the spotlight. He just didn't happen to have needed money to get exposure, but that's an exception, in exceptional circumstances, and limits potential candidates to those with exceptional media/wealth backgrounds. That's not a model that makes sense to sustain.

How in the world can you apply that to everything on the list though? Using the 4-H logo? How is that not just a special case of trademark law? Presumably there isn't US code specifically saying that you can't use the Twitter logo (except for fair use, of course, which is fine).
When I worked at Corel (many, many years ago), I was stunned by how much we paid to put Word Perfect on OEM computers. It certainly wasn't worth it from the perspective of a single sale. I think we easily spent more than we recouped from sales. The thinking was that the person who bought would also upgrade, though, and I think that was sound reasoning. Vendor lock-in is a powerful force. Personally, I thought it was a waste, though. Cost of sales was a large multiple of development cost... :-P
But these are global problems, and if the US unilaterally refuses to make money off of oil while the rest of the world keeps pumping, the biggest effect will be income and jobs leaving the country.

For young kids this is awesome but Japanese young adults are not nearly as independent as western kids. It is far from uncommon for 20 somethibugs to choose to live at home even into the their 30s. Where does the system fail from this great stuff as 3-6 year olds vs the 18-30 year olds?
