I haven't really used requirements.txt because I found that I could install 'extra' and 'test' specific content based on args to setup() in my setup.py. It seems more like the Right Thing than requirements.txt, from what I can tell.

At first glance, this doesn't seem to offer anything beyond what I already see from setup(). What am I missing?

It's unfortunate that CPython gave us distutils and took a very long time to converge on a built-in successor (setuptools?) that gives the right composability.

The onus would be on Barclays to make a case. Since they don't have a case, nothing would happen, and Rahman would still have access to his money.

The course of events would be:

1. Rahman receives £500,000.
2. Rahman withdraws £60,000.
3. Barclays considers this suspicious, so suspends Rahman's account for seven days pending further investigation.
4. Rahman presents his evidence of where he got the money in the hope of his account being released in under seven days.
5. Whether Barclays accepts Rahman's evidence or not, they fail to gather a criminal standard of evidence against Rahman within seven days, so release his account anyway, since to keep his account suspended further would be illegal.

If Barclays does not do 5, then sure, Rahman will end up in the same situation now. He'll spend the same amount of time as he did already in getting it resolved. However, when he does get it resolved, Barclays' settlement will include consequential damages for the house he failed to purchase because of Barclays' illegal suspension of his account.

As it stands, since keeping Rahman's account suspended was not illegal for Barclays, they don't really owe him anything, so his settlement is much smaller and he is still out of pocket because his house purchase failed through as a consequence.

> Imagine the delay and cost if this had been handled in court.

The court would have nothing to handle, so Rahman would incur no delay or cost.

Paper is not only bad for but also harmful.

You actually have to cut a tree to make a notepad. I hope in 100 years people will look at the "paper age" as we do see the era when people carving information in stones.

Why paper is worse:

* you cannot easily edit/alter information that has been already created

* it is hard to replicate and distribute

* version control is non existent (except book keeping)

* due to the replication problem and accessibility the information on it is not durable (at least not as durable as s3)

* collaboration is hard and not possible over the long distance

* security it terrible (even with all the stamps and hand signatures)

I know that paper might sound tempting sometimes, but I blame the schooling system which enforces kids to use it. We are trained to use paper first that's why it might seems easier. To learn how not to use paper (I don't use it at all for over 3 years) is really hard, it requires to change the workflows, mindset and attitude towards the information. But at the end of the day, it is really worth it.
Well, isn't it true?

Nowadays users (and their data) are the means of production and capitalists are using it to their advantage. Libertarian appeal to consumer responsibility is too idyllic. Consumers are mostly not responsible and often misinformed and easy to manipulate.

Sure. What I'm saying is that the bank should also face consequential damages when they suspend an account for an extended period of time without a criminal standard of proof. This will help redress the balance. Instead of them "not taking any chances", they will be forced to consider the situation and make a real determination.

They will just release their carbon content back when they are burned or transformed in any other way that only the mineral content is left. Otherwise, paper still contains carbon. Coal (buried, not burned) contains carbon. Furniture, houses, anything you make with wood will be a way of storing carbon.

You just also need to supply water and solar light. They will grow. Simple and efficient.

So, it's interesting. When I think about lying in terms of "confidence" and an engineer's natural tendency to "analyze" things.

The waters get pretty muddy. Say we were headed into a battle situation and you ask me are we going to make it. I start "analyzing" well they do out number us but we do have a better tactical ... and you get more stressed and under perform(aka get us all killed). Shouldn't I have said "Hell ya, we're going to win we're the most powerful fighting force on the planet."

Same applies to interview situations, etc.

It is a legitimate conference. That doesn't mean it's any good. It doesn't have any standing in the AI or machine learning research community (unlike: NIPS, ICML, AAAI, KDD, CVPR, ACL, etc...). The Springer LNCS series is just an oddball mishmash of papers from all sorts of sources. A legitimate publication, but not one with any standing in the community.

It's unfortunate that which conferences/journals are "good" (e.g. worth reading) or not is one of those things that's really 100% obvious to anyone in the research community, and totally esoteric to anyone not in the community.

Cable was originally advert-free. It was slipped in gradually over time. They got away with it because people put up with it and didn't call foul and stop subscribing.

My understanding is that the "kink" represents the transition point where people are making money from ownership of things (investing) rather than labor. In the investing world, the more money you have, the more money you can make, which gives a different kind of law than one in which money is just transferred randomly.
Did we read the same story? It seemed to me that he went out of his way to not get Bryan fired, despite knowing that Bryan was doing unethical things. When he eventually spilled the beans on Bryan's behavior, it was when Bryan was already on a 3 weeks notice to get fired.

> This process, which is called fact checking, by one of the most esteemed newspapers in the nation... Trump may very well have a very dubious relationship with the truth, but I have no faith that "fact checking" is going to save us.

I'm torn on this. The truth, especially if it's from multiple sources, still matters. The challenge is to break through the partisan barrier and unfortunately I think that can only be done on a personal level. Personal credibility can break through partisanship far more effectively than any reposted article can.
Or you could read it as "have always been" as in the commentor's own personal experience. Or as in the current serving representatives throughout their careers.

Taking a counterpoint from over 150 years ago and using a hard literalist interpretation... is a pretty pissweak way to counter the point that the GP was getting at. Extracting 'have always been' from everything that was said and then zeroing in on that like it's the core of the argument? It's an adolescent debating style.

When you upgrade from consumer-grade equipment into dedicated APs, they start looking more like something you can put into the center of your living room without being ashamed of it.

The Unifi APs for example look like oversized smoke detectors. They have obnoxious blue LEDs like seemingly all modern equipment, but you can turn them off and then it emits no light at all, and fits quite well into the living room when mounted on the ceiling.

I went to Japan a few years back. Almost no one speaks any practical English in Japan. So I was like "Well, after wanting to go for years and years, I'm finally here. It's a different country, home is a planet's breadth away, and no one speaks my language. If I want anything, I can ask for it in shitty Japanese and be thought a fool, or I can repeat English phrases as if that would help any and remove all doubt."

I did gain considerable experience with the language, and I found a way to do or obtain anything I wanted (sometimes by asking for an English speaker to help me).

My mom still wonders how I did it -- find my way in a completely foreign country where the language and customs are so thorought different. I keep telling her, it's just a matter of having the gumption to do it. Knowing Japanese helps, but learning as I went (as I was forced to do) helped me more.

Depends. Some routers have multiple antennas because there are multiple transceivers inside it, and some technologies (i.e. MU-MIMO in 802.11AC) will most likely react strangely having one of their antenna modified. In the end, it would probably make your performance even worse.

I have to agree I've had exactly the same situation. Wish I could say otherwise.

The only thing today that directed me to specific products and services are sites like hackernews, youtube channels like Eli the Computer Guy, and Louis Rossmann. I've donated about $500AUD to different youtube gaming review channels (because I like their content). I've donated to schools and donated my time with teaching programming. Though do I trust a advertisement GIF or Ads in the middle of a youtube video (hell no!).

Deep down I do want advertisement to get better and I DO want them to target me with meaning full advertisement. Though it still is a game of pop-ups in the middle of the screen of Skype, News, Web-sites all wanting to TELL me about how special they're.
> I had to make a decision with Bryan and fast. So I decided to ignore him on Slack and just let him fall on his face. If my mentor found me doing fraudulent shit like this, it would have been 10x worse. Blacklisted and booted permanently...

Apparently they gave hime 3 weeks to get his shit together or they were going to fire him. I divulged to my inside source that I wrote the fizzbuzz test for him and that he used AirPair for his capstone test. My inside source was furious and called the VP of engineering immediately.

Is it so outside the realm of possibility that the junior dev in question could've gotten their act together in those three weeks, or at least used that time to prepare a backup plan? Reaching out to your "inside" contact instead of confronting the dev (which clearly never happens in this story) is cowardly and sleazy.

The kind of things I've seen reported on /r/bitcoin:

- lose key to wallet

- lose wallet due to inadequate backups

- lose contents of "brainwallet" due to weak password

- lose wallet/contents due to malware targeting bitcoin

- lose wallet/contents due to bug in client software (recommendations change frequently)

- send to merchant, defrauded in the old-fashioned way

- keep on exchange for trading, exchange collapses

- erroneously swap transaction value and transaction fee, or other fat-finger errors

- erroneously send to wrong or non-existent target address
"capitalists are using it to their advantage"

yes, this is true but by the same token you can say that socialists use this data to better target users with their socialist agenda.

My point is, there is no need for introducing this type of "innocent" remarks because it only creates more hype around the whole capitalism vs. socialism thing.
Well that's the whole point of terrorism, to create so much fear that entire population/country will become irrational and make stupid decisions that will server the perpetrators. Usually nothing more. And yes, they succeeded in that, helped greatly by US media ala Murdoch's empire (seriously, that guy did more harm to US citizens than most media-demonized guys combined - why is he not in place like Guantanamo?)
Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if it was not an actual failure but a warning, and the public is just getting fed the "it *veered" line. Never forget that GB opposed US naval supremecy and as recently as post WW2 we have come close to war for similar reasons, but due to the 47UKUS agreement most people but old sailors and generals have forgotten it all and now were permabestfriends.
Nice story but I find it hard to believe you would keep helping this person after it was obvious they were looking for someone to do everything. The author should have quit long before some poor employer got stuck with them. Being a mentor is one thing, being an enabler is another.

Actually, due to pseudo-immutability, scribblings on the dead trees have better durability properties than many digital things.

A durable storage may be less prone to use data due to say, a fire or a flood, but it's way easier to lose data if it's just overwritten. Overwrite a file in-place and it's pretty much gone (good thing most editors don't, but create a temporary file then rename it, so old data still can be scrubbed from HDD). That had happened to my files a few times, but never had such experiences with paper.

Not to say commodity-grade paper may easily outlive commodity-grade HDDs, magnetic tapes or CD-R's. I still have my notes from university, but all the CD-R's I've burned around the same time are unreadable, and I've replaced dying HDDs quite a few times over past years. And paper is probably easier to recycle (although not sure about this).
Bill Introduced to Remove US from United Nations
Global conference on countering money laundering and digital currencies
I made my work desk all digital over two years ago. If there is one thing I've learned about paper vs digital, is that nothing can beat the UX of paper at flexibility.

Only once you have an idea what you want to represent, and how you want to represent it, do software tools that rigidly enforce that systematization of your written data become helpful instead of hindrances. I have dozens of different pieces of software for composition, to store data into hundreds of formats, none of which I'm wholly satisfied with.

With paper I know when I run into the limitations of paper, they are either my personal limitations and/or the bounds of what humans have figured out how to do. In software, I can see the design decisions standing between me and what I'd really like to be able to do. I can't move my pen and just do it anyway, I'd have to waste years of my life creating a competing software package.

Even though my overall choice is still to be all digital, I have to face the downsides of that trade-off every goddamn day.

I know someone who found journaling cured severe RSI, when nothing else worked. I learned about this on HN and was skeptical, but lots of people had testified that it helped them, so I passed the recommendation on - amazingly it did work. See The Mindbody Prescription by Sarno.
We've run too quick, too far, trying to maintain systems with, in HN jargon, too much technical debt. There are not enough people with solid knowledge, not enough people with solid principles, not enough people willing, to maintain the systems people in power have insisted on building. Frankly it's a miracle and a true testament to human greatness and luck that things aren't as bad as they very well could be. Over the long run however things usually end poorly, and history is littered with such shipwrecks. We need to slow down, refactor what we can, rewrite what we cannot, the costs will be huge but the consequences of not doing it worse.
