Two factors:

1. There is more money involved (both professional and donated) in securing gun rights.

2. Gun rights have a stronger legal basis than privacy rights, which only exist at a federal level due to fairly recent Supreme Court rulings (last 100 years).

Also, the NRA actually isn't a great gun rights org. They're more of a hunter's rights org. For example, they supported the current excise tax on guns that funds public land management (good for hunters). The Second Amendment Foundation is a much better organization for general firearm and self-defense rights.

For other rights, we have great orgs like the EFF and ACLU. They're just working with a weaker legal basis.
I think introversion may be partly to blame.
I can relate to a lot of the things about the people in this article.

That said, over many years, I managed to train myself to act extroverted. Recently, someone even accused me of being a "social, networking type" which they probably meant as an insult but it was actually a massive compliment to my life's work ;p
The problem is even if you have an Gsuite account added to your phone, it disables a lot of things. For example, I have my university Google account added to my phone. That automatically disables keyboard backup and sync to my personal account. I can somewhat understand the rationale here, because you don't necessarily want private corporate data being stored in the keyboard on a personal account. But Google doesn't make a distinction between Edu accounts and Business accounts for this. For Edu accounts it's a stupid restriction, and should be something the domain admin can override, but can't.

Got any resources for preschools?

I've got a serious pending problem with my youngest. She's 18 months old and already on par with an average 4-5 year old (and even older in some ways). It's really freaking my wife and I out - we cannot keep up with her curiosity and motivation to learn - we just don't have time or resources. We're worried that by the time she starts school, she's going to be so far ahead that she won't be able to relate to the other kids. She already has issues with other 18-24 month olds - she call's them babies and treats them like so. No idea what to do.

I just want her to be able to hang out with kids like herself and do what kids do. I'm not interested in turning her into a super-genius or putting pressure or her or training her or any of that. I'd rather her just be free and follow her mind for as long as possible.

Get a thinkpad X220, get the large battery for ~15hr continuous use or large battery + slice for much much longer then that.

Both with wifi and I'm usually running CLion or PyCharm while also browsing the web (Firefox/Chrome). All you need to do is install TLP.

Thinkpads are also the only reasonable computer I've found with a docking feature. My thinkpad is now also my main desktop.
Pre-Algebra – Exponents and it's laws – Part 1
If the chip has its own display and input, and every step of the manufacturing process is carried out under strict supervision by all parties, and every time there's a firmware update the entire software stack is re-audited, then maybe. You raise a good point.

There's the whole business of securely distributing the chips (so they're not swapped out with counterfeits in transit), dealing with theft (and coersion to not report the theft), etc. But yes, if you can get a never-network-connected, brutally simply, completely automated voting device into 230 million hands, then I can't think off the top of my head how to exploit that. I would move on to trying to exploit the tallying system.

At that point, though, is it really cheaper than paper ballots? Perhaps it's worth it to engage more voters, but it still seems like a terrible risk to take - I'm only very grudgingly aware of computer security matters, just because I can't think of a way to exploit it, doesn't mean that one of the 7 billion people out there won't. And it only takes one.

Also I should point out that my original point stands - what you bring up is a million miles from what they proposed in TFA.

Right, exactly. If you own a bar and some person is picking fights all the time or generally acting like an asshole in your bar.. Then you tell them to change their behavior or throw them out of the bar. Or allow it and become "that kind of bar" over time.

Press coverage of Imzy has been rather clickbait-y. It's a good angle to get attention I guess. How the actual site and community will feel and plays out in practice will actually feel rather normal. Its not super revolutionary.. Internet forum moderates discussion and participation for better resulting community.
I just realized that as well, when i added those ads they stayed in the topline where they should. I am just trying to get them back up there, thats really shitty.

Also added the remove frame button, that really should be there.

Obviously i tried to maximize ad income, but i did not had that (overlay, to close to button) in mind.

Edit:// Fuck that ad, added social buttons again.
If a search engine has a rule to rank HTTPS sites higher then it really doesn't matter whether your site is static or not static.

That's actually not true. You can google it for yourself about it but it is a 'myth'
I probably shit on the idea more than I needed to, simply because it's entirely possible that you could be looking to form a team and rally around a serious problem, and that team could be composed of people who deeply understand the problem in addition to fresh faces with a different approach. And I would fully support that approach.

Lately I've been approached by a lot of "startups" who have made it inadvertently apparent that they know about a serious problem in the industry but have no experience in the industry, are taking absolutely idiotic and long-discredited approaches to solving the problem, and don't even speak enough industry lingo to be understood. These are the people I tried to address with my comment.

If you'll notice, I was actually the top commenter on your original discussion [0]. I still stand by everything I've said in that comment. It is a potential multi-billion dollar idea, and the market size can be verified by pretty much anybody with basic market research experience. And while I have plenty of valuable and marketable experience in the Supply Chain and Logistics industry, even I am well short of qualified to lead a company trying to tackle that problem. I would definitely consider being a part of a team that was formed to solve the problem, but here's the thing: If you learned about the idea from an Ask HN thread, I almost certainly wouldn't join your team. Maybe if Elon Musk vouched for you and Marc Andreesen was throwing money at you. Maybe if you and 9 other committed engineers had a collective 100 man years of proven experience solving hard problems across a variety of industries. But trying to be the leader of a team trying to solve a problem that you didn't know about and don't fully understand is a huge obstacle to overcome. And I think it is perfectly reasonable of me to try to dissuade the average HN reader from even trying.

VoIP usually isn't a tin can (see VoLTE, Google Voice, 99% of VoIP providers), its just some call centers in international locations use g729 which wrecks audio quality & is not fault tolerant, thus when you get an AT&T rep in Honduras on the phone, he sounds terrible.

I don't think they're happy about it. They've funded a lot of anti-DMCA stuff under "chilling effect" branding. The DMCA is a horrible law, so I don't think we should use it to justify similar takedown behavior under other laws.
I never had any problem getting the ok but everyone's experience will be different depending on a number of factors. It's useful to know up front either way though.

The average web page size is more like 2331KB now: http://www.httparchive.org/interesting.php?a=All&l=Apr%201%2.... (I didn't say anything about HTML, by the way).

Of course, when you break it down by individual web request, most responses are still below 800KB, but you shouldn't load plan for the average case. And clearly even the average case is well above 12KB, especially for a CDN (which is responsible for serving the image, video, and large script content). I'm also pretty confident the page I linked already includes compression (which decreases size, but can increase time quite a bit; many people expect software load balancers to be using the absolute fastest compression available, but that's often not the case in my experience).
Well I'm still hoping for a "I'm feeling lucky" button for this. Type in a symptom, get redirected straight to a product page of an online pharmacy.
All speculation without a shred of evidence. Seriously, just something provocative, almost trolling. It does highlight a possibly arguable concern about a complex init being the perfect place for a backdoor, but is there evidence the NSA has done anything to it? OP didn't even provide any evidence.
And the vast majority of media entities now just do the bidding of the power (for one side or another), while ACLU supporters have gone into hibernation thinking the civil rights warrior, Barrack Obama, will protect them. That's unlike the NRA activists who are always highly vigilant about any encroachment on their gun rights.

My hope is that although Trump will probably go to the extremes for surveillance and other rights violations, at least now more people will start to wake up and realize what kind of power they're allowing the government to have while they "don't care about that issue".
I mean it just doesn't make sense. There is no technical way to do that. Even if all packets claimed an origin (they don't), it could be spoofed.

The complexity that HKT brings to F# is not just conceptual. It needs to exist in the CLR which will bring implementation tradeoffs.

"Cool paper but no thanks" is a saying for when people come to you with an extremely new technique and want you to incorporate it at the language level with very little proofing in the field.

"Profunctor optics" is the a description of how profunctors encode lenses and similar structures. I am aware. I also think that technique can cook in Haskell land for a few more years before non-research projects should uptake it.

It's not just you but in the US it mostly depends on your health insurance and luck/research. My current plan is an HMO/PPO hybrid with a very large network so I get great doctors and never feel rushed. Since my plan doesn't require a primary care physician I just went to each doctor under my plan, one by one sorted by online reviews, until I found the right one. A good doctor's office will also keep track of where their patients go for specialized care so I just go to the specialists recommended by my primary doctor and never have a problem with quality.
Yes, thank you. We've updated the title.

Dexcom. They sell glucose monitoring devices for diabetics.

People on the support line are diabetic themselves and are using the same monitoring devices to manage their illness so they really know what they're talking about.
>Then you tell them to change their behavior or throw them out of the bar. Or allow it and become "that kind of bar" over time.

this is exactly why it isn't censorship. no one has a right to be an asshole on the internet, if you insist, don't be shocked when you get shown the door.

no one is obligated to deal with pricks.

calling it censorship or pretending to be persecuted for political opinions is disingenuous at best.
Because syringes are inexpensive, you're making the mistake of thinking there isn't a huge markup due to it being a medical device. I'm pretty sure if you were to buy a syringe for injecting plants or something non-human, they would cost a fraction of what they currently cost.

Thinkpad x220 running TLP with extended battery covers all day (sometimes 7AM to 9PM) of browsing and CLion & PyCharm. I'm a student so the only time it's not being used heavily is when I'm walking from class to class.

As the other comment said I get about 5W draw in powertop. All I've done is install TLP as the other comment says.

Something else you can do if you'd like to get a huge boon for battery life is get a slice battery [0]. Get both the extended and slice and you'll be able to probably go 20hr.

This was my story. I wouldn't even say I'm particularly "smart", just clever enough to not need to work very hard at much until late high school. BC calc kicked in, all of a sudden I was failing a class for the first time. College kicked in, all of a sudden I was getting low grades even in my strengths. It took a year of that before I even learned the most rudimentary patterns of studying and practice, and over a decade (still learning) to bake those patterns into my day to day behavior.

What makes me very sad, as a slightly tangential note, my university had covered grades first semester freshman year. This let me do terribly, learn from that experience, and not have it impact my future prospects. They've since removed that, and I honestly feel sorry for new generations of students to have one less helpful safety net. With a good support system in place to help recovery, the chance to fail (in a scenario that would be "non-terminal") has been critical to my learning to suck less across the board.
You should sit a genius 10 year old with no social skills in a class of 20 somethings? That seems not a path to success.
The story might be more interesting to me than to more experienced hackers here, so YMMV.
For me, however, what was intriguing was how he first of all had to learn what he didn't know - and then learn it.
Looks to me as if one of those learnings was essentially about life/work as a roller coaster - in the sense that even though it sometimes appears you're headed for a crash/death, sometimes it's just a whiplash in one's professional "learning curve."
Rahul's sharing this on HN may be one of those whiplashes - on the blogging slopes - where it's more important than one might guess to attend to writing(and formatting) style. Until that slope is mastered, the poster discovers that most comments about his post concern his quirks of using bolding in overabundance.

Anyway, congratulations on surviving the transition, Rahul. And here's wishing you move through surviving to thriving!
Many soaps could probably be radio programs. They're visually simple and the stories are told in a straightforward way. Ditto for many sitcoms, which I generally enjoy, so this isn't as harsh an indictment as it sounds.

TV and movies are visual mediums, you can tell stories in more interesting ways. People might flatter themselves a little bit but that's not why these shows are popular IMHO.
I would argue that discouraging very smart or technical people is typical for Western countries, and even more typical for the US. In Asian countries, the culture is much more favourable towards the smart and technical people (and, unfortunately, also much more competitive).

I always read a lot about the shortage of people in STEM fields, and teachers. The US education system is absolutely horrible. I had to explain how percentages work to a university student (not a bad university either). However, teachers still have a terrible salary, and teaching anything lower than university level is not a respected profession.
Speaking of which, here's another /r/iamverysmart funny story about spare cycles: I had a very smart, quirky friend from rural California. I took her to a party once and she wasn't interested in the people there who weren't terribly intellectual, but I was having a decent time practicing my social skills. She sat in the corner and just starred at the wall catatonically. I asked her if she was alright. She assured me she was and told me she had gotten really good at dealing with boredom growing up in a small town with nothing to do and no other nerds around.

The person I was responding to was claiming that the guy had buffed the plastic, which is obviously crazy. All I can say in response to your claim that it looks like the phone has had rough use is that I'm pretty sure most of my phones with plastic edges were worn more than that very quickly, through normal use.

In addition to the defect the guy called them about I see unscratched glass, unscratched metal, lint, and some abrasions on one of the three edges of plastic that don't go deep at all (I bet you couldn't feel them) which are probably only visible because the phone is being lit from above. None of this is a big deal.

* Refute a forum posting with facts

* Refute a posting with lies (a recent hot topic)

> That is give the candidates drip campaigns and automated sales replies and beautiful personal career portfolio websites. That is allow smart candidates to sell to recruiters and company at scale.

Not sure I follow. Large companies generally follow a pre-determined hiring process. How would automated sales replies work for a candidate? There has to be a hiring event -- a trigger, for the reply to be relevant and be seen by the right person.

I think that many people don't trust sampling.

I like sampling for figuring out how something works, it allows me to iterate much, much quicker.

However, if you need individual level predictions, sampling probably isn't going to help.
That's a good accomplishment. Also, unsolicited anecdote here, but barbell rows helped my pull-up max more than pull-ups themselves ever did.
Numpy isn't really used like that though. It's for numerical computation. There might be cases for putting text in there but you can always keep it locally and map it to an int that you use in numpy for mapping (I do that in places).
I was a "C" student in high-school and the teachers mostly hated me, but so did a lot of the students. It wasn't until my 20 year high-school reunion when the class valedictorian told me this that I understood why there was so much animosity:

"You were so smart, far smarter than me, but you refused to apply yourself. You wouldn't do the assignments, didn't pay any attention in class, and generally didn't care about school at all. I hated you for that and I'm sorry."
What I can recommend (if you have the disposable cash for it), is to get your doctor to prescribe (or pay for it yourself) custom ear canal shaped plugs.

The custom moulding can be mounted on most high grade earbud bases.

If you want to get really fancy and you play in a band, you can fit the custom plugs with in ear monitors, thus basically sealing your ear from damage on stage.

For the guy worried about hipness.... custom plugs will be completely hidden in the lighting of clubs, so don't worry, you'll still be able to buy drinks at the beer for someone that catches your eye without being laughed at.
Seems kind of silly that the Kernel should be nanny to all drivers. Drivers to me should host their own repo, and provide proper integration tests before they are blessed. Some sort of --externDrivers="foo2016" flag you pass to the build. No drama on how horrid their code is because the Kernel shouldn't care.
I am very sorry for my incorrect formatting, I have rectified the mistake, thanks for pointing this out to me :-)
