I am a woman in a happy, long term relationship. I have issues with your assumption about "girls". I told my boyfriend not to give me a diamond because every aspect of what diamond actually embodies goes against my value.

There are certainly women who adore diamonds, but not every woman does.

What if a black person said this to another black person?

My point is that "hate speech" is not clear cut.

Today, the left is using it to silence any opposition.

If someone says "hate speech" is writing "Trump" on the ground with chalk, where does it end?

How do you draw the line?
Yep, I first asked on Stack overflow the best way to achieve a background task in a Django app, and the answers all said Celery. Considering it got run around once a week, it was a very over engineered solution I ended up with.

Its useful to know Celery, and gets used in a proper context in my current work, so I guess learning it wasn't a waste.

> Isn't it amazing (and scary) how brainwashed people are about the "value" of diamonds, even though they're not actually worth that much?

I've never understood this argument. Aren't they worth what people are willing to pay?
You can do a lot to work around branches.

Cache misses make CPU speed irrelevant, but when you look at your memory system it's another instance of the same problem with the same tradeoffs of frequency vs. work per cycle. And when the "right context" is waiting for the outside world, that's not the most important context.

It's a good advice. Although, I noticed if you aren't performing well your chances to get new friends in hobby societies are lower. Especially in team activities, like volleyball. So it probably makes sense to choose a society for a hobby that you're good at.

Another observation -- finding new friends usually requires spending money for social activities. That's OK, but one has to be ready to spend more money than usually. I'm not saying that "free" activities never work. It just gives you fewer chances.
I'm guessing they got an exclusive on that one. Want to ramp up the PR machine before delivering the goods. They'll drop it when everyone's excited enough. I doubt they care about privacy, the whole point of their service is/was not caring about it (as opposed to haveibeenpwned).
Pretty sweet. From and end-user perspective, quite a lot better than many of the WYSIWYG editors I've used in the past! (Haven't looked at the code.)

A few possible considerations for (IMO improved) usability:

* Tooltips for the icons! I didn't notice an undo button either, so this makes experimenting by just clicking on things more risky (esp a more common attitude amongst older users). For example, "x" often means close, not delete. A trash can might be less ambiguous.

* What does the mirror icon at top-center do? (I eventually figured out it meant preview, but, that wasn't obvious to me)

* The slide-in-from-the-side animation on section drag is in my opinion kind of distracting. Perhaps try having it "fade in" instead?

* When editing text in-place, the "accept changes" box hovers very close to the cursor. Would it be possible to have it jump on a paragraph increment, instead of by individual lines?

They're nit-picky, sure, but that's only because it's already pretty well polished :)

I sometimes can spot why: it happens that there is a 'big' thread going on on HN and sometimes a Wikipedia article about one of the aspect of the thread or an argument in it is posted. I have also seen two articles on the front page that seemed to be part of the same discussion.

Eg: an article about Tokyo gentrification would trigger a discussion about waste management in big cities and then Wikipedia articles about Japanese sewers and some aspects of Japanese culture would be posted.

Depends how you view your brain and consciousness. If you consider your brain to be made up of many components, consciousness being one of them, then your inner monologue is a way of communicating you intent to those other components. These will then respond back as best they can, and the act of learning trains them to be able to give better responses in the future.

If it's great advice from your perspective as a man then surely it's also great advice from the perspective of any woman who thinks the same way you do. Women have as much interest in the ethics of the things that they wear and the value (which isn't just the price) of things that their partner buys as any man does.

Plus, to be honest, I imagine if you gave a woman the choice between an engagement ring that cost $6000 and a much cheaper engagement ring that their boyfriend spent 6 months finding, most would choose the ring that their boyfriend spent time thinking about and choosing. Women have as much money as men do for buying status symbols; when it comes to an engagement ring they're looking for something that mere money can't buy.
Looks like everyone is looking to start his/her own personal Stasi.

That is not the way forward for humanity.

Not those of us who've been buying guns, but primarily rifles, of military utility in ever greater numbers, starting in the George W. Bush administration....

And let me quote Alexander Solzhenitsyn in The GULAG Archipelago on the general question of "whistling" vs. resisting:

And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?

Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?

After all, you knew ahead of time that those bluecaps were out at night for no good purpose. And you could be sure ahead of time that you’d be cracking the skull of a cutthroat. Or what about the Black Maria [Government limo] sitting out there on the street with one lonely chauffeur — what if it had been driven off or its tires spiked.

The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!

Keep telling yourself that. Often, the person asking you to build something immoral hasn't given it much thought. When you refuse and explain why you are morally opposed to doing such a thing, sometimes that makes them stop and think and realize that you're right. Not always—sometimes they will just get someone else to do it, but at least you tried and aren't involved.

I'm going to say something not popular but I miss SVN when working with teams. Git is great for distributed open source work but it sucks at being centralized/mono repo . SVN made it easy for instance to lock some parts of a mono repo or to even manage who can access to what. I don't get tall that for free with Git.

It's possible the machine has some kind of VPN connection and this encryption is indeed end-to-end, just at another layer.

More probably: the branch itself has a hardware VPN, so compromising the local network is still possible.

Savage. It's interesting why twitter seems to be blind against obvious terrorists accounts.
If you're old enough to be thinking about marrying your girlfriend, your girlfriend has probably decided already what she thinks about diamonds and spending money on pretty but useless things. And if you've been dating her long enough to think about marrying her, then you should probably have a pretty good guess about how she thinks about it.

First and foremost, it's a proof of social status between her and her peers, so you need to know who her friends are. But there are so many factors to weigh in. Someone I know got a sapphire ring to propose to his girlfriend, and she commented about how she was glad that he remembered that she hated diamonds. A couple I know have silver wedding bands which were made by an artist that they both know. The rings are unique and special—and this is important—in a way that they can brag about. They don't brag about it, but they could, if they were that kind of people.

However, if you are unable to express your concerns about diamonds without worrying that she'll think you love her less, then you are NOT ready to propose. Consider premarital counseling—which is something you do to get ready for marriage, not something you do because you have problems.
Interesting. Moissanite (silicon carbide) has a number of similar characteristics to diamond. So I decided to see whether, like diamond, its use as a high-temperature semiconductor had been investigated. Turns out the answer is yes, specifically by Toyota for its hybrid cars' power control units (PCUs):

You're welcome! I last looked at Mercury about 3 years ago, and I vaguely remember partial instantiation being documented as an eternal low-priority future feature. Maybe there's been progress... or maybe they'll say this is less useful than Prolog weenies like to claim ;-)

Out of interest, in what sort of function do you talk to Mercury users and developers if you don't use it yourself?
Yes. I refuse to install tracking social media button embeds on client websites and will push clients towards non-tracking equivalents instead, as well as refusing popups and adding people who haven't consented to join to mailing lists.

How can I get myself blacklisted from intelligence work so that I can be my normal weird self without being read into anything, ever? Also while retaining the right and ability to be extremely critical on forums like this one, while using all of the actually-public information (i.e. what has been published by the New York Times.)

I'm artistic and write and do lots of stuff under all sorts of pseudonyms, I travel, I want to directly engage the Chinese government on better IP laws, I want to directly do all sorts of stuff that would be way too suspicious or off limits if I had anything to do with intelligence - all without meeting your qualification for what are "comms with at least some Americans" or whatever. I just want to stay on the free side. I'm an American and foreign dual citizen.

I get the argument for why people who work with intelligence need to be held to a different standard and arguably have fewer freedoms than people outside of it. I just want to stay on the other, civilian or outsider side of that line. How do I do that (other than not agreeing to that work)?

This is an issue that is coming up for me and I am seriously thinking of paying some psychologist to say that I have some kind of specific tourrette's syndrome where if I'm recruited for any kind of conspiracy/intelligence "community"/whatever is on the other side of that curtain, I spasm out, and then just going ahead and pretending to do that if it ever happens.

Please give me specific actionable steps I can take. I don't want to change my attitude or habits. By the way, when intelligence agencies (don't know which ones, may not even be US) read my writing or what I'm doing, they have actually physically gotten the wrong idea. Which is fine, I don't care - they didn't bother me. It's their job to stay invisible and out of civilians' hair.

but I am not going to change my attitude or behavior. I'm an American as well and I think I certainly have the freedom not to participate in any institution I didn't sign up for explicitly. America isn't a police state. I don't have to watch what I say, certainly privately or anonymously, in case some bureaucrat gets the wrong idea.

I don't want to live in an Orwellian nightmare. I wanted to show you another commenter who raise a similar concern, but couldn't find it. He talked about how stifling and restrictive it was to work on some generic (not even secret) government contract, where they couldn't even do basic things like travel without announcing it exactly etc etc.

Anyway in this comment I am asking specifically how I can disqualify myself. What would keep someone from being read into anything, ever, or joining the intelligence "community". (Obviously this is just speculation, I'm just interested in your idea.)
>As for single-purpose email addresses, that only works for cases where the service isn't selling account information, correct?

I don't know how you would tell the difference in that case so I assume yes.

The way I implement this is I bought an entire domain for spam. I created a catchall account and when I sign up for services I can just punch in hackernews@spam.com for example. All of this filters into a single email account allowing me to retrieve all my password resets and account confirmations.

This will weird out some people over the phone:

"Yes, it's comcast@spam.com"

"Sir, to look up your account I need YOUR email address"

Lying is a great way to start a relationship. Then when she goes to get the ring insured or tries to add it to your homeowners or renters insurance and the appraisal comes back you can have the informed, rational discussion of your thought process with no fall out. Just in case someone wants to avoid that approach, it might be helpful to have some specific arguments. I think it is good to point out what you could use the money for instead. If you show that the money could be used to strengthen your relationship over the long term, that should show deep concern and love for your partner.

The argument given in the article is that you can spend significantly more on a setting and still come out spending less.
So, lie?
Seems like an american things really. In France, nobody would expect anyone to buy a certain kind of ring. As long as it's pretty, you can go for anything. Or no engagement ring. Some friends of mine don't even get wedding rings. And I just met a not married couple wearing rings just because they liked it.

Our wedding ceremonies are also usually way cheaper and less show off that the ones your pop culture is selling to you, so I hope you are not actually doing it IRL cause that seems a terrible way to start a long term relationship, money wise.

But I guess we don't have such a marriage culture here anymore. People do marry, but we also now have something called the PACS, which is a very simple legal union with no bells and whistles that is pretty popular. And of course plenty of people living for ever without a label on their relationship.
Which in turn isn't even just about the (monetary) cost: the diamond ring is part of a collection of social rituals intended to increase the (social & psychological) cost of exit from marriage.

I think the point is that when she wears it around her friends, she can omit the fact that it's moissanite and her friends will think that it's a big, brilliant diamond.
Sounds like a low-level implementation of event sourcing/CQRS. Is there anything similar that is usable right now? Perhaps built on Kafka?
So people do this to signal (both to their spouse and their friends) they are both financially capable and care enough about their spouse to burn a large amount of money on a pyre. It's also a very useful signal that you are serious about the commitment and unlikely to back off of the marriage. I would prefer to replace it with a certificate that proves you have spent X thousand dollars on said certificate from Moche Silnorin Inc. A less personally-beneficial alternative would be some sort of modern dowery, the recipient of which is Moche Silnorin Inc, who holds on to the money until the culmination of the marriage, after which the dowery is given to the wife and so reunited with its giver once they share finances. If the engagement gets broken off, Moche Silnorin Inc keeps the money. However, this raises the possibility of bondsmen. Which isn't a possibility with diamonds, with their awful resale value. So perhaps just a non-refundable expense in exchange for proof you've given X thousand dollars to Moche Silnorin Inc would be ideal.
No, they generally do the latter, and generally well.

One problem is there just aren't enough killers etc. anymore, crime rates are way down from their peaks not so many decades ago. But, somehow, where this has happened, it hasn't resulted in a reduction in the size of what I like to call the police-judicial complex. This book's underlying thesis is that too avoid unthinkable layoffs, the complex needs a steady diet of "the clueless" to keep running at it's current tempo: Arrest-Proof Yourself (https://www.amazon.com/Arrest-Proof-Yourself-Dale-C-Carson/d...) I haven't read the 2nd edition I linked to, but I can't recommend the 1st highly enough in every respect, theory to practice.

I'm graduating early and have a job at a top company lined up, but I don't necessarily want to start right away. It's getting late, but I'm hoping there's something I can do to enrich myself before I enter the workforce. Does anyone have experience with this or any ideas?

(I know 'travel' is the obvious answer, but that wouldn't be very fun alone, and at most it'd be a couple weeks)
I can't see a mechanism for this, whereas the opposite causation - that worry causes you to be distracted and you mind to wander - seems trivially obvious.
men and women are different hombre, you won't convince anybody without muscle.
Use the difference in price on a down payment on a home/apartment or open a college savings account for your kids. Tell the truth, you want to build a life together and are thinking about the long term financial and personal consequences of this decision. I bought a ruby for my wife for this exact reason. I also wanted to show our community that we rejected diamonds as a tradition. I think the more we discuss this issue the more likely social conventions will change so future couples won't have to have a discussion.
> I've never understood this argument. Aren't they worth what people are willing to pay?

I think the parent's argument is that not many people know about their price being inflated by a combination of artificial scarcity and hype.
