What could be less dignified than working a job you are empirically inferior for because you got your competition banned?

That doing automatable busywork by hand is somehow more dignified than receiving handouts is an absurd idea (it's just as much a handout, only in this case you have to jump through hoops for it).

That others people should be required to do automatable busywork to receive their handouts is a cruel and borderline evil idea.

A lot of the outflows are deliberate economic policy to the benefit of the countries economy. China has bought ~$6 trillion of US treasuries over the past few decades via it's dollar sterilization policy to hold down it's currency (though this has reversed somewhat over the last year). This has benefited China by making it's exports more competitive, driving growth. Many East Asian countries also accumulated huge US dollar reserves after the 97 Asian financial crisis.

This is a problem, but not for the reasons stated by the article. I understand that this 'glut' of capital from developing countries had a big role to play in causing the 08 financial crisis. Because there aren't as many growth opportunities in developed countries, a lot of the money went into asset bubbles, like the US sub prime bubble that precipitated the crash.
Since the recorded increase is large and for births within the last 25 years I suspect that changes in diagnosis play a bigger role in the increase than more gradually-changing birth ages and pre-term survival rates (much as I'd like to believe the latter was of huge importance and not just a potentially relevant factor since the relationship between preterm birth and inattention was the subject of my sister's PHd research...)
Most user won't even be aware of the possibility of using profiles, ask any of your relatives.

While if you had a "Create a new profile" button that does it in one step and that they would advertise on install much more people would be using it, even if it's just for family members separation.
This is not true. There are specific indicators that are very well established.
Of course, the true answer is that, if you're not already in a big job market/city, you have to move and retrain. The total number of jobs, btw, does not shrink when jobs disappear. Those savings from the job that went away goes somewhere - usually more consumption - and a new job is created somewhere else. Often it's not in the same place, and neither does it require the same skills, but that's life. The government has to help people move and retrain; the alternative is dirt-poor towns full of welfare recipients. I've seen it and it's not pretty, even when the welfare is generous.
No you don't. Those were the results of millions of years. Don't dig it up? Okay, find alternate engery source which can support the way we live today. I am all for reduction (I believe in climate change), but what you said came out very aggressive and counter productive. So noz
> What makes you think

Personal experience. I've been trying to hire moderately competent, junior software engineers would be able to write and optimize C++ without much supervision. They're now more rare than the Sasquatch. Today, "caring about performance" means picking a language that's only 5x slower than C, rather than 100x slower. Hardly anyone even knows why alignment might be desirable, or how long it takes to fetch memory after a cache miss, or how concurrency primitives actually work. For my generation, "caring about performance" means that C compiler generates suboptimal assembly, and you handcode it because you know better and need that extra oomph.

> It depends on what you're doing

It sure does. You don't have to worry about the lower level stuff every day. We deal with extremely high performance code, and even _we_ don't think about it every day. But it definitely pays to know what's going on. Otherwise it's not software engineering, it's cargo cult science and rain dancing, prone to fall apart at the first sign of difficulty. It's like having a certified car mechanic who doesn't know how to open the hood. You can have a few of those to change tires and broken tail lights on the cheap, but you also need the dudes/dudettes who know what to do when "check engine" light comes on.
>We can only go back to "natural" CO2 levels through unnatural means

Ok, but let's be careful not to exclude the middle here. "We got here by mining (an industrial activity), therefore we can't use plants in any part of a carbon sequestration chain (even one that also involves industrial activity)." Trying to use this argument as a blanket ban on plants becomes little more than an appeal to sympathetic magic.

The only thing that matters is how much CO2 a technique can buffer (annual production x time constant), not whether or not it uses plants at any stage. Plants already have enormous annual production, but for economic/thermodynamic reasons it's hard for purely factory-based techniques to achieve sufficient scale. It becomes a money sink both up-front and operationally, respectively because A) factories are expensive, and B) hard thermodynamic constraints mean that it's at a fundamental competitive disadvantage compared to any typical [reminder: energy consuming] factory.
This is reverse process of digging coal and sucking oil out of the earth. The problem is that we are now releasing it several orders of magnitude faster than it was put down. The Carboniferous period was a 60,000,000 years long and we will use them in much less than 600 years.

Ask HN: Why are hn discussions of a higher quality?
Clearly a very subjective topic so work with me here...(and forgive my clumsy explanation).

Comparing hn to other discussion boards I'd say it has far higher quality discussions yet I can see no obvious signs of moderation. (Or even aggressive algos like reddit).

Responses are generally well reasoned, low on personal attack & other undesirable traits. Criticising people frequently results in introspection on their part rather than blind retribution.

All this is great of course...yet leaves me a little confused as to what the magic behind the curtains is. What's different vs other discussion boards?

Stored XSS-Ing Millions of Sites Through HTML Comment Box
You have a few thousand active monthly users (since it's a web app that requires an account, I'm assuming that corresponds to 50-100k page views per month) and you can't recoup 10-20 EUR a month to cover server costs?

Yes, but what I meant is what do you consider middle segment for cars in the USA?

In EU, a Volkswagen Golf for instance is middle segment, but perhaps in the USA is considered lower segment and therefore the difference.

Seriously, you either avoid the ms bloat or find alternatives(ez). The FOSS community needs an industry but doesn't need the industrial abuse. By default, NOBODY should depend on a company or a "network" of companies and their software. That's the sin of public education - selling the youth to companies.

Interesting. I've never seen them in bulk. But I've also never looked, so it's not shocking that I wouldn't know about them.
> There's no force keeping people from contributing, they are just choosing not to.

Ah, but there are forces that keep people from contributing, or at least increase the amount of effort required considerably. These forces are not evenly distributed, and there are several dynamics operating that actually increase the effect many of these forces have on members of underrepresented groups.

So, given that this is to some extent a self-reinforcing phenomenon, if we want the community to look like it welcomes all comers, we not only have to be welcoming (which we aren't doing that great on in the first place), but also do everything we can to counteract the force of those feedback loops that keep groups underrepresented.

The point of ISDS isn't that it magically constrains the governments in question. It's that the price of choosing not to comply with a ruling is so high (typically, abandoning the entire free trade agreement and reverting to WTO rules) that it's a serious barrier to a government actually doing that.

That doesn't mean we should fear the bogeyman, since in reality such provisions have not been unusual in previous free trade agreements and the most notable ISDS cases were ultimately failures for plaintiffs like Big Tobacco. But even though results have usually gone the right way in the past, they have still cost the governments involved a lot of time and money to fight the case, and that alone is grounds for asking whether the ISDS provisions are a good idea.

>That still has the same issue of all my projects following a logical structure, except for anything written in go / with a component
>written in go, which has at $RANDOM_LOCATION.

Wellll... if you are not reeeally using Go but only for short snippets or smaller projects you can place the code anywhere you like. (Except for the external deps afaik, but even that might work with ./vendors/) In your imports you need to then use relative paths. Haven't used this coding style since some time but you can totally do that. Of course you loose some goodies like having super isolated modules but it sounds you're not after that anyway.

Disclaimer: I've used this coding style for a few 1 kLoC+ projects, but I later changed to the recommended way.

This has nothing to do with enforcing federal will through the interstate commerce clause, which is what my post was about.

All expansion of the federal government's power domestically, through the interstate commerce clause, is through case law, which is largely exempt from administrations.

Multi-Dimensional Analog Literals in C++
The underlying biology of spermatogenesis is also involved. As males age, the germ cells (~stem cells) that produce sperm are continuously dividing. One of the daughter cells from the division becomes sperm, the other continues on as a germ cell [0]. Over time and with aging, the germ cells accumulate new mutations (primarily single nucleotide changes), which are then also passed on in the newly created sperm. While it is also possible that a mother's eggs carries a new mutation, these do not increase in frequency with aging because her eggs are created in utero and do not undergo the lifetime of regeneration that the father's sperm do.

These "de novo" mutations can sometimes affect or "break" genes important for normal development, thus resulting in autism. They can be studied by sequencing father/mother/child families and comparing the genetic sequence of each. The de novo mutations show up in the child only. We can differentiate if they arose in the father's sperm or the mother's eggs by examining the "haplotype" around each of these mutations (basically, looking for other nearby mutations that were inherited by the child from either mom or dad).

For more on this, see this paper: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22495309

This is dumb. If you look at the bill itself [1], it explicitly states

11 (a) In compliance year 2018, each electric utility
12 shall procure a minimum of ninety-five percent (95%) of its
13 sales of electricity in Wyoming from eligible generating
14 resources.
15
16 (b) In compliance year 2019, each electric utility
17 shall procure a minimum of one hundred percent (100%) of
18 its sales of electricity in Wyoming from eligible
19 generating resources.

The key part here is that by 2019, each electric utility shall procure all of its sales of electricity in Wyoming from "eligible generating resources."

Now, let's see how "eligible generating resources" is defined:

6 (v) "Eligible generating resource" means an
7 electricity generating resource either located within
8 Wyoming or delivering electricity into Wyoming from another
9 state that produces electricity from one (1) or more of the
10 following sources or system:
11
12 (A) Coal;
13
14 (B) Hydroelectric;
15
16 (C) Natural gas;
17
18 (D) Net metering system, as defined by W.S.
19 37-16-101(a)(viii);
20
21 (E) Nuclear;
22
23 (F) Oil.

Oh no! It looks like "solar" and "wind" aren't on the list of eligible energy resources! Aye, take a closer look: both solar and wind energy fall under "net metering system," so in reality, climate activists are bashing their heads against the wall. They have the right sentiment, but they're only fighting against the bill because they didn't read it. :-(

The signature is only as good as the hash it's using. SHA-1 is considered insecure. From Wikipedia:

SHA-1 is no longer considered secure against well-funded opponents. In 2005, cryptanalysts found attacks on SHA-1 suggesting that the algorithm might not be secure enough for ongoing use,[3] and since 2010 many organizations have recommended its replacement by SHA-2 or SHA-3.[4][5][6] Microsoft,[7] Google[8] and Mozilla[9][10][11] have all announced that their respective browsers will stop accepting SHA-1 SSL certificates by 2017.

> Most people won't agree on a definition of "property" or "aggression" rendering the point moot, however.

First of all, the only relevant definition in the NAP is "aggression." Regardless, I think it's incredibly useful to have a fundamental basis that people agree on, which can be used as a pillar of debate. It's the closest you can come to a 'scientific method' in political discussion, as opposed to the Democrats'/Republicans' strategy of just picking and choosing what 'sounds fair, sounds right.'
That is a failure of the legislature and isn't something to be comfortable with.

There is moderation behind the scenes. I've had some of my posts edited to improve them. Also there are a number of rules about how HN works that I suspect some people are told and others are not.

HN also forbids the discussion of what CNN considers news. We don't have endless knock-down-drag-outs about the usual subjects.

Also HN has a fairly unique community of people who are interested in both technology and business, no matter where they are located.
Isn't it the other way around? Looking at fraction of GDP controls for size of the country, since large countries have more unemployed people because unemployment rates don't differ by orders of magnitude.

The unemployment rate in the US and Germany are very similar (4-5%), so Germany spends 7 times as much training per unemployed person.

Also a Canadian and I get grilled more by Canadian border guards than American, though I think they are picking up on me because I traveled quite regularly when I was living in Canada.

They would ask me questions like "how long are you going to be in Canada?" when I'd answer that I didn't know, they would press me about why I didn't know. One guy who had held me up for far too long, I basically told him "I'm Canadian, you don't have an option to let me in or not" at that point, he let me through...
No, they didn't want "more resolution" for "certain demographics". They wanted these demographics overrepresented in the final sample, without disclosing the fact they are overrepresented. These are polls for external consumption, the kinds you'd then find on CNN, HuffPo and MSNBC. I'm sure they also had their own private polls which, while probably also cooked, were more accurate.
