I understand technically how it worked, I'm merely arguing that their interpretation of "marked", and also their interpretation of the party doing so is quite liberal, at least for a courtroom.

The player (Ivey) did not bring, substitute, touch nor coerce the casino into doing anything with the cards. His assistant asked the dealer to flip some cards and he abided willingly, supposedly on behest of the casino to accomodate a whale. They did nothing under the table.

Like most people on here IANAL, but this ruling doesn't seem right, where "right" is the letter of the law.
Yeah, in my org we have a dedicated data engineering team that owns the pipeline and production data systems plus an analytics team that owns reporting and making data available to non-technical data consumers. That leaves complex research work for data scientists who are (in theory, anyway) building on top of stable data infrastructure and good data sources and free from ad hoc reporting work.
The only issue I am aware of is that beginners often assume, based on basically every tutorial, that / has a special meaning, it is used to denote remote/branchname.

I don't use hug's CLI. It exposes a WSGI component that you can send any which way that you feel like, and plug into whatever else you use.

Hug also exposes directives, formatters and middleware for you to dive into the nitty gritty - not much magic. Just standard simple decorators.

I stand by my comment. Feel free to do what you think is right.
"They take away jobs" - are you kidding me? That's one of the most pressing issues with them, they rarely want to work (and usually are not qualified for all but the simplest, lowest paying jobs anyway). They come to Europe for benefits - one of the most common questions asked by "refugees" entering Germany is "When will I get my house and car?"[1] .

About integrating well into society it is well known that Muslims tend to create their own enclaves, whole districts where non-Muslims are afraid to enter, and where unofficial "Shariah police" can beat the crap out of you for buying alcohol, or pork meat. Brussel's Molenbeek is one such example.

In many situations, it does make financial sense to live with family — however, sometimes one is simply happier and more productive when one has sufficient space that one more or less controls. Living in close proximity with others can be wonderful, but it can also take a toll. Even when those around you are nice people, it can take some energy to interact with them. I wonder how much productivity society loses when people who long to live alone are forced by circumstance to live together with others.
Because self-sufficiency provides a much lower standard of living than what you can get with trade and specialization.
I don't think that was the only time Sinbad dressed as a genie. I have no memory of a movie but I remember a nineties commercial where he played a genie but I don't recall the product.
A suicide bomber really believes in what they are dying for and that is the point. With the disciples the fact that they were eye witnesses to the central point of their religion is unique. Either they saw Jesus rise from the dead or they were lying. If they were lying, then why would they be willing to die for a lie? Just doesn't add up in my book.
There's interest in small and medium nuclear reactors, including interest from Trump's transition team. The IAEA has a brochure on the 40 or so competing designs.[1] A few are under construction. None seem to be operating yet.

Russia is building more nuclear powered icebreakers. Those are close to completion. One with a new reactor design was launched in 2016 but is not yet operating.

2017 may be a good year for nuclear power. A few plants are scheduled to come on line.

It's the record of more than one meeting. Check out the part under 'OpenWrt / LEDE follow up meeting'.
There's plenty of garbage to be learned either from books or from personal experience. I'm not trying to be flippant.

As you pointed out, we all have our biases. If I were raised racist, I'd try to confirm those biases in my personal experiences. Or perhaps some kind of personal experience would shatter my biases. I could be on the lookout for things I hear on talk radio, or I could make unexpected friends. Equally, I could get my sense of morals from reading Ayn Rand, Nietzsche, St. Augustine, or the Dhammapada. I've known people who have learned atrocious or wonderful things from books, and I've known people who have invented fantastic or horrifying personal philosophies. I don't think I've uncovered any kind of pattern as to why some people think one way and others another.

The funny thing here is that in this discussion, we're using our personal experiences (anecdotes and armchair speculation) to try and analyze it.

My personal contribution is that older people have more property, and that whatever material they use for their political views (be it books or experiences) will mostly be used to support their own goals for enjoying that property. The young folks want to get property, so they vote for that instead. That doesn't explain much, but it does partly explain why younger citizens tend to be more liberal.

- The Prize, by Daniel Yergin (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Prize-Epic-Quest-Money-Power/dp/184...)

It's a history of oil over the last 150 years. Sounds boring. It's not. It's one of the best books I've ever read.

This book has made me realize that the history of the world over the last century and that of oil are almost one and the same.

Is this sarcasm? Is this not one of the main strategies in lead generation?

Linking email addresses to facebook accounts to groups they're involved in and developing target markets for certain users and selling those lists (ex. gamers) to less-than-reputable and maybe even reputable marketing companies seems like it could be profitable... Maybe I'm naive?
The article is one big fallacy. It is absolutely correct that today nuclear is the main source of carbon-free power generation. But that does not say much about what the best technology for new installations is. If built to good safety standards, nuclear is not cheap. Solar and wind should be much cheaper, and of course completely safe alternatives. Unfortunately, the article does not discuss any of these alternatives.
We have to feel bad because they lost their main (and I think only) source of income, not because they lost their jobs.

Nobody has to be forced to reconsider his career (so his entire life..) when we just have to cut the link between work and salary that we learn at school.
A friend of mine once came upon Helen Chadwick photocopying a sedated badger (as you do) in Birmingham Art Gallery for an installation. A brief conversation ensued, constrained somewhat by the need to return the animal to its keeper.

I was a bit surprised at the lack of work discussed in the OA as I remember it being all over in small galleries in the 70s and 80s.

The sheer magnitude of the astroturfing I see for elixir has dissuaded me in the past.

On top of that, the erlang vm has long been weak on heavy technical and numeric work and its really only ever been suitable for soft realtime telecom stuff.

Elixir is just a (worse) syntax over erlang, with shoehorned macros and obnoxious begging-for-attention-from-ruby-users language sugar.

Not to say that elixir won't succeed in the long-term, since we are talking about programmers that used to think rails was a good idea, but I guess it's just a shame that the path forward is a path through broken glass, barefooted.
OK, so all Ireland has to do is pass a law that says "Whoever the Finance Ministry decrees doesn't have to pay income tax, is exempt". That's an entirely objective criteria: a company is either exempted or it's not.

Now don't tell me this is different because the Ministry's decisions might not be "objective". Such is the case for all political decisions, including varying tax rates across different industries.

This is a very idealistic view that I don't believe is based in reality.

While we still measure a person's worth out of how much they make, this is going to pose an enormous problem for all of us. We can't just take away people's livelihoods for the benefit of a few (us, to be honest).

There will be a violent reaction, as there has been every time this situation has arisen throughout history.
Very instructive read! Thanks for sharing.

> Your typical 16-year-old doesn't know a thing about history yet

Your average 40 year old doesn't know shit about history or politics either. They just feel like 20-25 years of adult life makes their opinions hard-earned and valid, even if they're just long-held beliefs.

When I was 16, and dinner table debate with my adult family members got heated, it always ended with the ad hominem "you'll understand when you're older and have worked for 25 years like me". Now I have (ish), and I still largely hold the same opinions. There's just not enough in that 20-25 year period that makes your average joe a special insightful snowflake.

It's just like every fucking parent who believes having a child, and muddling through parenthood, somehow makes their beliefs on internet censorship more rational.

The Latest iPhone 8 Rumors
I read almost all of Brandon Sanderson's novels. I'd heard of him before, but I was hesitant to jump into his huge universe. I'm really happy I did, though. In roughly 2 months I binged on all the Cosmere novels and Steelheart.

He's creating a truly magnificent universe with the Cosmere. As I understand it, he expects it to reach 32+ books total. It's all centered around Stormlight Archive, which is an ongoing 10 novel series.

The killer detail that helped win me over as a big fan was the fact that he communicates with his fans. He's a fast writer, but he still gives updates. After a few years of following GRRM, having an author that so openly speaks with his fans is a breath of fresh air. I think everyone is usually aware that estimates are never truly accurate, but at least it gives you an idea of what the author expects to accomplish. If he says he's hoping to get the next Stormlight Archive book by the end of next year, I know that doesn't mean it's definitely going to happen. But that's fine, at least he's being open and communicating with his followers.

Honestly, I think Stormlight Archive has blow away pretty much everything else I've read.

This year I discovered a genre called LitRPG [0] and picked up all the major books in the genre. It's very light reading, for when you just wanna go off on a brief adventure. I enjoy videogames but I tend to find myself too tired or busy to want to go into the grind myself, so this made for an entertaining proxy.

But with OSS you are not starting from scratch, you've got a (presumably) working base to start from. You don't have to learn everything, just the part you want to improve/fix. I don't think the railroad analogy helps.
I have the same problem with this as I do with WINE, which is that spoofs like this still ultimately reward products that didn't consider Linux first, and therefore are unacceptable and hard to justify spending on or using.

> In a worst case scenario, if we go full solar, but are unable to slow a climat change that induce more cloudy weather (because more global evaporation) we are actually solving nothing.

In the worst case scenario, all of the nuclear reactors simultaneously explode (because more earthquakes), raining down a radioactive armageddon on the hordes of screaming peasants below.
Malmö was a clusterfuck before the migration crisis. It's the garbage bin of the country. My feeling is that the crisis (and rioting a few years ago) just gave the locals a justification to talk more openly about the problems there without feeling racist.

Sweden did an amazing job in the last 30 years picking up the mess that the rest of the WHOLE WORLD keeps making. They have been left alone and now they are struggling. Germany is now reaching a similar status. It can't go on like that.

One thing that would likely help is linking seats on the UN Security Council to refugee quotas. You shouldn't be able to decide what goes on without accepting responsibility for picking up your rubbish.
> Shame that it still requires spoofing the user agent. I would rather not fiddle around with that whenever I log in or out of Netflix,

Several Firefox extensions allow you to easily switch the User-Agent, and even set a per-site User-Agent string, so that you always use a given User-Agent for a given site.

> but would also like to send actual information to show that Firefox is being used..

If you really care, you could experiment with the accepted User-Agent strings, and see if you can add a "really Firefox" comment or similar without losing access.
We need to have an AI tax that redistributes wealth back to the "ordinaries" so they can have the resources to be creative. Even if machines can generate writing and music there's no real point of view to fully machine generated material. You can do the thing they said don't quit your day job to do.
Some of my favorites this year:

Fiction:

- Jude The Obscure, Thomas Hardy. The way Hardy 'smuggles' Jude's viewpoint into the narrative is so ridiculously well crafted, a pleasure to read.

- Legend Of The Galactic Heroes - a big anime from the 80s which was based on Japanese soft SF novels, which are now finally being translated. Worth a read if you're into space operas and large scale politics, I'm happy that the age of ebooks allows for such 'niche' interests to get translated.

Non-fiction:

- Secondhand Time: The Last Of The Soviets, Svetlana Alexievitch. It's her 'usual' style, a selection of interviews with a 'chorus' of shorter interviews, this time about the fall of the Soviet Union. Lots of interesting stuff from people whose world was replaced with another world overnight.

- The Pursuit of Glory: Europe 1648-1815, Tim Blanning. This is actually an entry in the long row of Penguin History of Europe, but I haven't read the others. It examines certain aspects of change in Europe (starting with how transport networks moved from mud roads to proper streets and culminating in how the nation state was invented)

- Vanished Kingdoms: The History of Half-Forgotten Europe, Norman Davies. As the title says, a collection of essays on small kingdoms and countries which have only existed for a short time, some for which no current country claims 'ancestry'. It's always important to remind yourself what a random patchwork current European borders are.

- Eckermann's Conversations with Goethe. This is a collection of notes on young Eckermann's conversations with the aging Goethe. Goethe is famous for always challenging himself, always trying to create, make and be involved until his last day, it's absolutely inspirational. Before this book I didn't understand why he's such an icon for Germans (and I read a few biographies), but I get it now, he lived the 'man is his own marble' saying.

Computer stuff:

- Introduction to Machine Learning with Python, Mueller and Guido. This is essentially a more detailed version of the scikit-learn documentation with more elaborate exercises (even though some of it overlaps), highly readable. The scikit-learn documentation itself is among the best python package documentation out there and is something you can read 'cover to cover'.

- Write Great Code - I've only started to read this one, it's very much about the basics of what a computer does when you're running high level code, so you can adjust your coding style. So far it's very useful.

Stats:

- Discovering Statistics Using R, Field/Miles/Field. A very opinionated, highly amusing (the constant humor may annoy some), huge waltz through statistics and how to use the methods and interpret their output in R.
Historically I believe we always trusted eye witnesses pretty heavily in trial, but they're known to be unrelated. I remember myself testifying once, and it's the strangest experience.

I remember what I thought I saw. I don't remember seeing. Even at the police station immediately after the "replay" was fuzzy. 3 months later? I was literally just parroting what I remember saying and thinking at the time not what I remember seeing.

Was a weird experience
Yes, although I'm not convinced that fresh water is going to be such a scarce resource in the future. There are a few "outs" on the horizon—besides changing our diet, the possibilities for desalinization, or things like lab-grown meats, may change our relationship with water. Just as long as population growth slows enough…

Agree with the comment about ownership. As technology has improved, more and more power has been going to whoever owns the capital.
Per-capita energy usage is already falling across the developed world. And that's just with current trends. We could easily tax electricity far higher in most countries, mandate higher efficiency (the US still uses giant furnaces and hot water heaters) and tax carbon.

Why do people on Hacker News seem so drawn to Nuclear? Its insanely expensive, it takes forever for a plant to come online, and worst of all for an industry that likes to remain 'boring' -- it draws too much public attention.

Why fight all that? WHY?
I did exactly the same thing.
Not only that, they just voted us out of the common market, if the old people get their way, I'll have to get a bloody visa to go to on holiday to France or some nonsense. At least it kinda looks like Brexit isn't going to happen and the EU will collapse before we leave, so who knows... This all just looks like a world war is on its way.

"most of it comes from personal experience."

Sample size = 1? Almost sounds like younger you was better off

Personal experience is a pretty terrible way to form political opinions, it leads to stuff like overestimating the rate of crime, the cost of terror etc.
And your twenty year old self may not trust your opinions as a 37 year old. Is either 'right'? Does having more experience make you better at making decisions or does it make you more conservative, meaning you are less likely to take risks, so you miss out on opportunities for change?
Was interesting to read. I'm big fan of Japanese culture and traditions. I visited it twice and soon I'm going to visit it the third time. I buy cheap tickets on https://uk.lowcost.club/ to save more money. I think we can learn more from Japan.

Hi, thank you. That's one of the biggest problems with Bootstrap – a framework should not impose design on the creators.

The issue isn't just about old browsers. IE8 might not matter, but by supporting 10 years in the past you also make sure it will work 10 years in the future, following the standards. Simple, accessible HTML is under attack by the JS frameworks and most of the industry. When the framework du jour collapses under its complexity in 5 years, we'll be back to HTML.

Do people lose faith and trust because of the accidents, or does it just uncover existing perspectives?

From a rational perspective, people should lose faith in technology when it spactacularly fails, or rather, we should prefer sober risk assessment over "faith" in the first place. I'm just not sure about the political capital argument.
IMO this title would be better if it were broken not to be so parallel:

Well, obviously because the home-grown poor "made bad choices" and all that responsibility spiel. /s

More realistically, the local poor would just move from A to B with no improvement. People fleeing warzones have different backgrounds and incentives.

I agree on the general-welfare issue, but a lot of these refugees have very low expectations.

Sorry, but I am not sure I understand. Automation is in things like factories, back offices.. Those things are not entirely unskilled.
