GBPUSD: Eyes Further Downside Pressure on Corrective Weakness
this is a very deep question, if you record audio and only a computer listens to it, does anyone hear it? it's totally the tree falling in the forest with no one around does it make a sound.
They can't hurt the rest of us while they rot in prison.

That's really it. Rehabilitation and retribution are only minor factors, for the liberal and conservative voters respectively. The main factor is just stopping crime by warehousing people until they die or get too old to cause trouble.

It's expensive, but you have to admit that it is extremely effective.
I'm pretty sure now that this mass psychosis in the West will most definitely lead to civil war.

There are just too many people who can't seem to accept democracy or liberty if it doesn't go their way.
But honestly, most people won't audit the wiring of their device. I wonder if a more low tech solution is the answer...a cover for cameras and some sort of sound blocking cover/plug for microphone holes.

Is the party somehow disgruntled about this too? The proposed retaliations read like a wish list.
Solar panels and electric cars are a large up front cost for a very long range, abstract benefit. Buying more ethical groceries is a small up-front cost for an immediate warm-fuzzy.

This shouldn't come as a surprise, most people are tragics for sacrificing the long term to boost the short term - witness the ubiquity of credit card debt.

I'd guess vat-grown beef would fall more into the free-range egg scenario than the solar-panel scenario (although probably with less emotional baggage since beef cattle are generally pictured as happy cows eating grass in a field, whereas cage hens are pitiful to behold.)

Google is a private company that can choose how to make money. If it chooses to not show advertising on any particular category of site, that's a commercial decision. If its shareholders or customers are upset they can unseat the board or find another provider respectively (as you wish to do). A competitor may even see a commercial opportunity and make a business model based off carrying ads on fake news sites-Google doesn't do ads on porn sites, and yet those sites seem to be doing OK on ad revenue.
That looks like an example of RCV working as intended. The candidate with a lot of support didn't win because a lot of people also strongly opposed him. I don't see how he would have won if his supporters made him their #2 or #3 choice instead of #1.

It has also become obvious to us that the average internet user, has no idea how to vet anything on the web.

As someone who's basically grown up with the Internet, from the early pre-web days, this turns out to have been a real surprise. I realized early on that my exposure to the early Internet played a huge role in my developing a nose for falsehoods, bullshit, fallacies, etc. I had thus naively assumed that as it became more common for young people to have this kind of exposure, that this "sense" would become more common. Sadly, this appears to have not been the case even a little bit, at-scale anyways.
No, I don't think "lack of tactile feedback" is, by itself, sufficient to demonstrate that touchscreens are a bad idea for laptops. There's nothing I can see about laptops that make the lack of tactile feedback a bigger concern than it is for other devices.

Lack of tactile feedback might be a bigger problem on laptops, but the reason it's a bigger problem is not self evident.

How'd you compare the unsimplified number then? How would it be obvious at the calling site what happens? Better explicitly compare only the simplified part (again, structurally).

> PTP voting system is what has led to the incredibly toxic and extremely partisan political system in the US

Perhaps, but Australia uses Instant-Runoff Voting [1], and we are also following the toxic partisan Us vs Them situation too.

I suspect there's more than one factor at play here.

Typically, I find that I'm concerned with what calls a function makes when those calls interface things external to my program. I.e. I'm asserting that a request to a given http endpoint is made, or that an smtp client sends an email. I assume the external libraries work and am testing my interface to them.

Oh, I definitely agree. I am not a UBI supporter by any means. Still, I think if the left can prove that it works on a smaller scale, and change people's mind, I'd be willing to reconsider (which is my default position on almost anything -- prove it and I'll believe it). But it's a long shot.

Last time I tried to use termbox (the C version), it required a build tool in python that I'd never heard of (waf), which then required me to do all kinds of yak-shaving to get up and running. All to compile a small C library.

I'm not saying waf is bad, I've never used it (obviously, since I failed to install it). But it was an annoying hoop to jump through.

I do think re-doing the old unix lib faithfuls is a Good Idea. A cleaner curses like library with a better interface would be great.

It's hard to tell which professionals actually address pressing issues effectively. Many are only in it to enrich themselves.

Any suggestions on how to identify the professionals that are worthy of our support?
These are spam sites. They're automatically generated, sometimes even using spun text from stories from other spam sites. They are populated with nonsense: one which a friend unwittingly shared with me on Facebook had in its archives:

* A story that the Pope had endorsed Trump

* A story that the Pope had praised Russia's handling of the Ukraine

* A story that the Pope was involved in demonic blood sacrifice rituals.

(always look at the archives! They're great!)

The only thing that makes them interesting is that their goal isn't necessarily to generate money. Presumably, Google will just apply the same approaches it uses to detecting remunerative webspace to political webspam.

I don't like The Daily Caller or Breitbart, but there is no confusing fakenews sites with real ones. I don't think the suggestion here is that Google is going to audit stories on Breitbart.

The "I wish I had that" recently was for some custom one off parts for a recumbent tandem trike. The part did exist as a standard manufactured part... in Germany. There is also an online bike shop with no inventory that probably does what you describe... and at that time had a backlog of two weeks.

This was for one part - a custom gear. Yes, a professional machine can do that in no time flat for less than the cost of the Wazer. No, the professional machine can't do that in the same time it takes to make the part and it was actually faster to order from Germany in this case than to try to find time on a professional machine shop somewhere.

Sure, if you're going to make hundreds or thousands of the parts - thats great. But if you want one or two... not so much. Especially if that has the timeframe of "today" on it to fix that gear to go out cycling this afternoon.
Perhaps the Chinese model would be instructive. The government tirelessly scrubs the Internet clean of false or misleading information, all in the interests of their citizens, who honestly cannot be relied on to distinguish truth and falsehood by themselves. Surely with the American system of government such diligence is even more necessary, yes?

> I can not believe we allowed right wing propaganda sites to publish so much false information for so long.

Who is "we"?
A big part of the problem is that the people who are going to approve changing the election system are also often the people who are elected due to the flaws in this system, and would like to hang onto the power these positions give them.

It's as if if the power to accept patches on an OS belonged to people who were profiting from a bunch of zero-day exploits in it, and kept on DMCAing attempts to set up a new repo free of their influence.
Ask HN: How to improve vim productivity and workflow?
I only need my .bashrc and .vimrc with me on a UNIX machine to get around. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside because it's so minimal and portable. I love it.

But I have not mastered vim yet. In particular, going back and forth between files and directories is really cumbersome in larger, more complex projects. When time is critical in a project I just install Atom or something with a sidebar (it makes a huge difference to me) and move on with my life.

I want to improve. Specifically, how can I productively edit multiple files simultaneously in a larger codebase? Should I use tmux panes and windows? Or vim split views? Should I use a sidebar plugin for vim? Any other workflow tips?

Should I even use vim at all? Why bother?

"it's ridiculous to think that a couple of tiny pieces of gold would have changed their view on what to do with an acclaimed scientist. It's laughable."

Many people were killed on a whim by the Nazis, without much if any reason at all. Being a famous scientist wouldn't necessarily save you (and especially not your valuables, which were frequently confiscated).

Then there's a good chance that the grunts who searched these people wouldn't know who they were, wouldn't care, or even feel contempt or hatred for them because of who they were or what they said or did, and would in fact value gold far more than their lives.
I would submit that LLCs are better than S Corps for investments. With an S Corp each shareholder must be a human resident of the United States. Any sophisticated investor will not personally take ownership of shares when making an investment but will do it via some type of business structure (i.e. a business that the investor owns or controls will make the investment). Since each shareholder of an S Corp must be a human US resident, investments become more difficult. An LLC can have members that are individuals, corporations, other LLCs, foreign individuals or structures, etc.
I think the difference is mocks carry tests while Stubs are dumb fakes.

I think the problem is the choice of words. Maybe mocks should actually be called "spies" instead and stubs "fakes".

Race is one of those overloaded words. I think the right word here is heritage.

Motoko's heritage as a Japanese is an important part of the story that gives it richer context. This is because many of her dialogues are about ideas that are unique to her Asian culture. The concept of a marriage between the natural and the artificial (instead of man vs machine). The concept all things have sentience. There is even mention of deliberately selecting a member of Section 9 with a similar rationale to the Toyota way. These are not ideas strongly present in European cultures. Kusangi's holistic thinking is one of the most interesting things about the Major.

Can you picture Sarah Connor from Terminator having these dialogues that Motoko has? Evolution theory, philosophic musings?

I cannot. It is not because I think a westerner would have nothing to say. It is that I think they would say something different because they think differently.

The largest skew of our information within the US is state narrated pro-state skew - not 'left-wing' or 'right-wing' news.

And honestly it's sickening to see such an increase in what's truly rotting our democracy: people stating, in an uncontroversial tone, how we need to shut down free speech for the security of our country.

This tacit allowance on the affront to free speech was and is seen in the rise of authoritarian states around the world.

It's scary to hear such views even on Hacker News.
I wasn't sure what to thing about Cycle Analytics, and the metrics it provides ("time from thoughts to issue", "time from issue to code", "time spent reviewing"). IMHO these numbers may be too synthetic to give meaningful information. Plus, once we have this kind of dashboard, there is a risk of starting to optimize for the numbers (instead of optimizing the reality underneath).

That said, I see with this demo how these metrics could be useful to track, well, when reviews are taking too much time (needs more people? better repartition of reviewers?) – or when maintenance tasks are slowing new features (needs better tests? more maintainers?). I guess I'll have to try this out :)

Very often on HN I see links describing the latest and greatest GitLab feature. It really seems like they've been working hard and doing a good job, and they seem to have a clear vision ("master plan", in their terms). Where is GitHub in all of this? Aren't they concerned about being outinnovated?
Add to that, they're saying they don't send the recordings out except they do send only “digital fingerprint summaries of the audio.” We all know they mean "hashes" which can be reversed, given the correct set of circumstances.
Yes even within a particular video there are lots of frames where the act is implied not directly shown, like a close-up of others faces. Karpathy et al. showed they could still learn from the sports video database even with random crowd shots or announcer shots not being removed.

I think the quality for the data influences the result and hand crafting the dataset is what lead to 95% accuracy on new instances.

> Switches are very simple devices. If the switch mechanism is not enclosed, ...

Sarcasm, I hope? I spent an hour this weekend replacing some micro switches in some decrepit robots. These are about 5mm^3, which is pretty tiny, but huge on the scale of a modern phone. They are basically hunks of plastic with a button on one side and six or so leads coming out the other side. No, you can't open them up and see the air gap without destroying them. And yes, they are small enough to easily contain a full CPU, some flash memory, and a few sensors, even though they only really need a few sliding metal and plastic bits.
From Haskell to Java: modeling your problem domain with types

Here in Australia, volunteers for the political parties hand out 'how to vote cards' at polling places: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How-to-vote_card . It's not a perfect system,[1] but it should be enough to prevent most people from completely messing up their vote. (Especially in the US, where voluntary voting presumably means that those who turn up are motivated to make their vote count.)

[1] The most obvious risk is misinformation -- e.g. someone claiming to be from Party A, handing out Party A branded leaflets that actually direct people to vote for Party B -- but in practice that doesn't seem to be a significant problem. I'm sure it happens at small scales online, but in person it's hard to get away with, so at least the information seen immediately before voting is accurate. (Though admittedly I have heard of one or two borderline cases, e.g. cards with colour themes chosen to misleadingly hint that they're associated with a particular party.) What is prevalent is 'preference trading' between political parties, as a significant number of voters do seem to more or less blindly follow their party's suggested ordering. This is arguably a problem, but it doesn't usually get too crazy, as preference deals between ideological enemies both look bad and can easily backfire.

That was the ugliest steak I think I've ever seen.
I last did that drive about 4 years ago, coming in just south of Lake Tahoe, and they did stop me. They were too cheap/polite to tear the car apart looking for stuff, as expected. Actually, they pretty much waved me through as soon as they saw California plates and heard that I had only left California briefly.

Back in the day, they would dig through your stuff a bit. It was still pretty symbolic though. They sure wouldn't find egg cases stuck to your shock absorbers.

It's mostly to protect the agriculture industry from disease and pests. I suppose it's also about other invasive species as well.

I explained the problem to the Boston Globe, but they just didn't get it.

Once, somebody sent me all their credit card information so they could place another ad.

In my mind, the problem with Approval Voting is that it's harder to decide how one should vote. What's the cut-off? Do I vote for everyone I really believe in? Or everyone I don't loathe? And it's exactly that sort of question which leads to tactical voting. With IRV it's easy. Just order them until you're indifferent to the rest of the candidates.
I really appreciate you taking the time to check into this. The weight of the Disqus ads is a little surprising. Really interesting answer though, thanks.
For more detail about the numbers see https://gitlab.com/help/user/project/cycle_analytics#how-the...

Do you mean that number are to coarse to indicate a specific problem?

Of course there is the problem of gaming the numbers. But we do think that compared to many other ways of measuring productivity (for example the number of issues solved) this is relatively robust against manipulation. Getting something out sooner is better most of the time.

But thanks for the thoughts and I hope you try it out soon.

If I recall correctly there are strict limitations on counting your car, cell phone and rent as business expenses and they require extensive amounts of documentation. I don't know how much they enforce these days since everyone and their brother is hustling a pyramid scheme business but I would research it first. Getting audited without reliable mileage logs, phone records in your favor and a measurable separation between your personal living space and your work area (like a door) could result in being stuck with a tax bill for back taxes.
