The religious view of quickening is covered here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_abortion_law_debate...

"The Venerable Bede" "c. 725, upheld the 40-day distinction, prescribing a one-year penance for abortion before the 40th day" "After 40 days the penance was 71/2 years, the same as for homicide."

"English common law: Starting with Leges Henrici Primi, around 1115, abortion was treated as a misdemeanour prior to 'quickening', accruing a penalty of 3 years' penance, or as a 'quasi homicide' after quickening."

"Pope Gregory XIV," [1591] "pronounced that abortion before 'hominization' should not be subject to ecclesiastical penalties that were any stricter than civil penalties"

Etc. It supports again the Vatican's text which I've cited: "the various opinions on the infusion of the spiritual soul did not introduce any doubt about the illicitness of abortion."

If I've missed something and you have a counterexample I'd like to see it. Thanks.
Hey everyone - this is Michael Seibel - I'm one of the group partners for Peer5 and I'm really excited they have launched. If you have any questions for me - feel free to ask :)
That seems pretty drastic (sending photos of your house). Mind if I ask why you were targeted?

For what it's worth when I was a young jerkoff in college I was spamming on some forums and pissed off a guy who later sent me my college address. I got his IP from the forum, tracked down his ISP, and messaged them and the FBI about it along with the threatening chat logs and never heard from him again. Not that I think they took real action, but it was some script kiddie I wanted to set straight with the threat of real consequences. This was back around 2004 or 2005 when things were a bit more loose in terms of encryption and privacy online.

I'm a new father and experiencing my son laugh for the first time has been one of the most remarkable experiences I've ever had. Nothing I know of compares to the feeling I get. It's like a gush of joy and happiness.

Here's an evolutional theory for the author: there's an unavoidable feeling of regret that comes with introducing children into your life. There's late crying, the destruction of personal time, there's moments of unstoppable crying... but it all just sort of melts away the minute he looks at our silly faces and cracks a grin. In that second all is forgiven and there's no regret.
They don't suppress science, they just suppress stuff they don't like with no regard for facts.

I've had various ones prescribed over the years, usually just long enough apart for me to forget how horribly, horribly nauseous they make me feel. They relieve the pain, somewhat, but never completely and there's nothing remotely "euphoric" about the experience.

Over the counter painkillers work just fine on the other hand; never had a problem with ibuprofen, acetaminophen, etc.
D has got it right.

`int x` is initialized to 0 by default, but those who really care can write `int x = void` to get an uninitialized value.

I think that feature could even be a backwards-compatible addition to C.
But this is still an error when x == 3, y will be uninitialized when z is set.

There are plenty of warnings in -Wall that are conservative. For example in g++ C++, out of order constructor initialization even for primitive types is warned for the same reason.

In this case the use of y on the RHS without explicit initialization should be warned.

It sounds annoying, but having a bug's behaviour change between different build modes is much more irritating.

I promise I'm not trying to be snarky or dismissive, but I literally have the opposite concern. I am amazed that a group of nerds on message boards can look at the most ambitious knowledge resource in the history of the Internet, and possibly in the history of the last 100 years, and come to the conclusion that it's urgently endangered by the fact that their edits about young startups and science fiction characters are rejected.

I feel like the Wikipedia project is one of the better run communities anywhere on the Internet, and that we don't perceive them that way mostly due to the absolutely spectacular scale that they operate at.

Note that I'm not saying they're the most pleasant community in the world to work with. They aren't! But that's because they're doing so much, working with so many people at so many different levels of engagement. Hacker News is a trifling community by comparison, and look how much work goes in to trying to maintain norms and civility here.

I feel like the Wikipedia community has bent over backwards to understand the concerns that completionist interest groups have about logging every possible startup, every open source developer of any note, every open source project, &c. They spend more time discussing their norms and processes about subject inclusion than any other meta-concern.

I do not feel like the tech community meets Wikipedia halfway. Every argument I see in HN threads about "deletionism" seems rooted in the idea that an Internet encyclopedia need not have strict standards for inclusion because the marginal cost of an additional article is zero. But that's simply a false statement; it's based on the false premise that the only cost for Wikipedia for articles is storage space. You can't read the Wikipedia project charter for 5 minutes without realizing that storage is their least important cost.

> Structs are fully mapped if all their fields are fully mapped.

I recall some SPARC arch (uSparc?) circa 199x that would place chars and shorts in a struct as if it were an int (i.e, aligned on boundary of 4). Then, when loading this field from the structure, it would load a full word, then shift it 16 or 24 bits left then right, to propagate sign or 0 and squeeze out undefined bits.

Interestingly enough, for programming it we used Sun Workbench which had some rudimentary equivalent of valgrind. So if in my code I would initialize the struct by initializing every attribute, then copy the entire structure using memcpy, the tool would complain about reads from uninitialised -- exactly because of the paddings of shorter types.
I had tons of fun imitating animals to my kids when they were babies. Each had their favorite. The eldest liked donkeys, the youngest liked horses. I would do this while I changed their diapers. Their laughter was sublime.
It appears though, with the fact that DOE staff were asked to dob in any co-workers that had gone to UN summits on climate change, that the Trump administration is prepared to go on witch hunts.
> If you didn't have ZFS, I would also caution anyone from using straight non-ZFS RAID as a backup substitute, because there's no checkpoints and no way to stop data deletion from affecting you.

The type of array redundancy (ZFS, mdadm, megaraid, etc.) does not matter. It is never a substitute for backups. End of discussion. These are two entirely different technologies meant to protect against entirely different problems.

This is a common meme I've seen constantly through my entire career, and one of those common misconceptions you have to educate customers on quite often. RAID is not for data security. RAID is for availability.

Snapshots, checksumming, etc. on ZFS are wonderful - I use it extensively. I also zfs send said snapshots to an off-site remote server, and if I didn't have that capability I'd rsync to an external hard disk or whatnot.

Even if you could somehow guarantee ZFS or your hardware would never combine to lose your data (you can't) - it still doesn't protect from your house burning down. A substantial number of people completely neglect that failure mode until it's too late.
Al Gore 2020?
No, South Park just picked up an existing joke. He said he "took the initiative in creating the internet" in an interview, Wired picked it up, some Republicans saw it and released some (honestly pretty gentle) press releases making fun of him, and then it went mainstream.

> It saddens me when government suppresses science.

There's no public explanation as to why the original meeting was canceled. Referring to it as "government supressing science" is speculation.

That aside, not promoting a particular theory, practice, or direction for research isn't "suppressing science" either. It's just not promoting the particular things that you'd like promoted.
How to avoid accepting the privacy reminder from Google?
For one year or so I'm refusing to click on the accept link of Google's privacy reminder. I try very hard to use other search engines instead, but Google's search results are just too good in my opinion. These are the tricks I use to avoid accepting Google's privacy policies:

- Using a VIM browser plugin that still let's me scroll through the site and click links although there is a big Google popup on the screen that prevents users from using the mouse to open links.

- Deleting the browser history. After deleting it, the popup does not appear anymore for some days (it seems to me that there is a cookie used by Google in order to make sure new users do not immediately get the popup - but as soon as the cookie is some days old, Google wants to have the privacy policy accepted).

- Using google.me instead - this never gave me the popup.
This may be a dumb question, but why not just use the post office?
Seems like Google maps is doing a poor job at clustering, once you zoom out markers become a cluttered mess.
Correct. That infamous statement was taken out of context.

No other elected official, to our knowledge, has made a greater contribution over a longer period of time.

I do think learning React taught me a lot of fundamentals.

Again, I disagree.

Any reasonably complex codebase I have worked in has at least parts that only a few people understood. Even if n=3, you could still very easily be blocked when trying to find someone in the know...
Exploring Preact with React
My point is that even if your supplier plays fair, the manufacturer may change the designs slightly and you either dont't get the PCN or fail to understand the implications of a change. We had a case once where a manufacturer added a minuscule hole on the case of a relay, presumably a pressure vent. Our devices are potted in resin in order to withstand rough conditions; in this particular case the resin penetrated the relay and blocked the contacts. We were halfway through a production run before anyone noticed. Needless to say, the run had to be scraped because there's no economical way to remove the resin once it's hardened. All for a saving of a few cents per relay.

QA lesson: new batch of anything = tight quality control. When you go into manufacturing, it becomes a game of numbers. Manufacturing 10000 of whatever is statistically bound to generate some duds and failures.

Speaking of prototype/hobbyist amounts: stick to the big suppliers and you should be safe, but if something feels fishy, don't be shy to order the part from a different supplier. Generally, identifying counterfeit parts in prototype amounts can be tricky without prior experience because your manual soldering skills will always be sub-par to a pick'n'placer; same goes for ESD precautions, accidental shocks applied to the circuit, passerby finger-pokers and your curious boss.

> If you just move from Angular to React or whatever other thing is hot right now every year for 20 years but don't understand what fundamentals they are based on

That person would have to be (and remain so for 20) spectacularly, blissfully, implausibly obtuse ... given the minimal cognitive capacity needed to hop from each of the 20 upcoming Angular/React equivalents to the next every year will likely both suffice and entice to "osmotically absorb" said "fundamentals" behind them all over time, even when never spelled out.

I think quite a few of us grasp the principles of this or that tech first informally by trial/error and experimentation, later when reading "the spec" or the "fundamentals book" or whatever always flip-flopping between "I know, I figured it out the hard way, smart me hehe" and "I know, I know, tell me what else is new!!"

You can turn a website visitor into a content delivery endpoint without them even noticing? I find that hard to believe.
Serverless CDN is the term we use to describe a CDN that uses no servers for the content itself.

It's actually a Peer-to-Peer Content Delivery Network. Big content providers (like Netflix, Youtube, ESPN) can use that to deliver their content more efficiently and improve their users' experience. That results in less rebuffering for their users and lower costs on infrastructure.

Show HN: Snappd – Easily upload and discover great stories from Snapchat/Instagram
You guessed right.i had a similar comment when they wanted all diseases out of the world.. Nobody will have a natural immune system and 1 variant could show up and it could go really fast then. :)
For those who don't remember, the infamous Debian bug which resulted in weak keys being generated on Debian systems for a couple of years stemmed from this.

Using uninitialized memory wasn't an actual problem there, as it was mixed in with a bunch of other entropy before being used, and those other sources were sufficient even if the uninitialized memory had predictable contents. However, tools like Valgrind complained about it, so somebody fixed it, and inadvertently wiped out almost all of the other entropy sources going into it as well.
When Algorithms Come for Our Children
I took intro to psych from Eugene Galanter in 2000 or 2001. He liked to lecture on how the only point of taking an MBA is to unlearn the natural tendency to perceive magnitde as a log fn of magnitude. Now we are teaching MBAs the opposite, to apply a power law to every perceived trend or opportunity...
That was exactly what was going through my mind. Trump basically fought and won against the GOP establishment, the democrats, media and the pollsters and made it. He is still at war with the media and the world at large still hates him. He seems pretty unperturbed though.
I'll be looking forward to using these techniques in OP against a future pro-DNC government.

Also, it is against HN policy to make apparent the implied political subtext of a post. Please report to the downvote chamber for punishment.

Hey, just launched Snappd first real app we have made using Swift.

Idea came about as I spent a lot of time making stories on Snapchat myself (tips on development) all for the content to be lost after 24 hours.

We made Snappd to easily let creators upload their stories so they can be rediscovered and actually add in sharing for stories that would otherwise have just been lost.

> The nature of "what makes something funny" is one of those questions that is actually really hard to answer when you get into it.

All humour can be explained by an incorrect connection in the brain being corrected. For example, a play on words has one meaning that you make the connection with by default, but then you see the meaning they was actually intended and this correction induces laughter. In a slapstick comedy, actors may hit each other violently, so you expect a violent reaction, but then little physical damage is actually done, and this correction makes you laugh again.

Summing up, humour is when the brain gets something wrong, corrects itself, then produces a physical reaction to tell others 'I was wrong'. Showing weakness like this is likely a development of the 'social brain'. The feel good factor is also likely a reward for bonding with the group.

There is a big delay whenever I hit these buttons to the effect that I can't tell if it's just slow because it's getting heavy traffic right now, or if it's constantly updating and I'm getting weird results.

Ransomware attack paralyses St Louis libraries as hackers demand Bitcoins
Fair enough. The drives I looked at didn't have any particularly pertinent information on them either, but I actually made a pretty fun weekend out of learning how to recover data and re-live some of my personal history starting from around 1999.

The lack of DTrace like tools has long been a criticism of Linux. The entire BPF team deserves a lot of credit for their work, but his decision to highlight this problem and help solve it rather than move to FreeBSD likely got it into 4.9 rather than some kernel in the future.
Solving ‘disallowed_useragent’ for Google services
I can posit one reason for it not getting through trials easily.

The technology isn't "hard" per say, nor is it patented. You can find doctors willing to do "prolotherapy" procedures for you today.

The problem arises with trying to study it. I assume that they do phase 1 trials for therapies like this, which means that they have to find healthy individuals willing to get bone marrow removed, and then get that injected into joint spaces. Not many people want to sign up for that study, unfortunately.
I sorely hope that Trump will teach Americans to get over their misguided king-complex and realise that the president should be a figurehead with limited power, and an executive leader only during time sensitive (military) crises. The rest of the government should be governed by properly legislated remits, and answering to Congress, not the president. It's ridiculous and a recipe for disaster to leave so many policy areas to the whim of a single person.

Maybe the evolutionary basis for laughter is that the pleasure of unexpected outcomes helps us cope with being wrong.

Laughter would be the body's mechanism for successfully managing an input/output exception.

Jokes make us laugh because the punchline unexpectedly departs from the expected outcome of the narrative. Our brains try to anticipate what will happen and respond, but when the brain has been tricked, it has to reconcile what happened. We're rewarded not with a core dump, but a feeling of pleasure.

If it wasn't pleasurable to be surprised, we'd have an existential crisis: Our brain failed to anticipate the correct outcome. Now we have to figure out if our senses are wrong or if there is a new phenomena to understand. The natural reaction would probably be fear and flight.

That isn't the kind of behavior that moves the species forward- risk taking and information gathering only endure if you are able to manage ambiguity. Successful humans found pleasure in the unexpected. Laughter seems to be a core component of our survival skill. Laughter also seems to be a common symptom of schizophrenia. Maybe laughter is just the result of the brain's garbage collector firing.
