Ehh...you'd need to prove that the regulations on hotels reduce the amount of these incidents, and then also make an argument that reducing these incidents is worth the amount of regulation. Anecdotes don't cover 1) (unless you want me to show counter-anecdotes of people being raped in hotels, etc..), but let's assume you've provided statistical information that hotel regulations provide a 50% decrease in such incidents. You still haven't articulated why you think the regulations are worth the extra safety. As a counter-argument, here's a reductio ad absurdum - it would make hotels even safer if they installed cameras in each room and hired enough security to monitor all video feeds.
The headline and article are a bit misleading, the share of completely electric cars (no internal combustion engine) is actually dropping compared to last year as there are some newly introduced tax-reductions and benefits for hybrid plug-in vehicles as well. Many of the top-selling cars on the list that is counted as electric are actually cars with a small battery and electric motor along with a traditional ICE. [0] The topsellers of "electric" cars are actually big cars like the VW Passat GTE and Volvo XC90, both of which will probably produce more emissions than smaller ICE-only vehicles through their lifetime (unless the owner is very concious about charging the battery all the time.)

Fail to see what your argument is here.

Of-course these are obvious errors once you are given 10-15 lines of code and told that there is an error there. Imagine having this code in the middle of say, several million loc.

Anyways the argument the original author is trying to make here is, someone did this to improve performance by "unrolling" the loop, it is a good example of how you shouldn't do things that a compiler might be able to for you, to try and prioritize making code human readable, since your compiler is smart enough to figure out these micro enhancements.
This is exhilarating! Perfect lift off, separation, landing and deployment. I am OK with this becoming routing and boring .

Meanwhile in Norway, the Norwegian Workers’ Party crafted a vision that seemed both radical and reasonable and won majority support for their view despite the dissent of a very small Communist Party. Grassroots movements built a large infrastructure of co-ops that showed their competency and positivity when the government and political conservatives lacked both. Additionally, activists reached beyond the choir, inviting participation from people who initially feared making large changes.

Norwegians also took a different attitude toward violence. They chose nonviolent direct action campaigns consisting of strikes, boycotts, demonstrations, and occupations—a far less fearsome picture than Nazi Brown Shirts and street fighting. Norway therefore lacked the dangerous chaos that in Germany led the middle classes to accept the elite’s choice of Hitler to bring “law and order.”

All good examples (such as excessive importance to deadlines, a big no-no).

My question: can they be truly good programmers of they write bad code? Isn't the essential product of a programmer SLOC and functionality via software? And if they do that in a manner inferior to another dev, isn't that objectively a measure of inferiority in their craft?

I've met far too many 'good' programmers who were a net detriment to a project not to be wary of the term.

Hidden Figures Private Screening in London by Cloudflare (Women in Tech)
It is a very valid point and I agree with you. This is a known fact; if you sign up with a social account you give up on privacy.
When you sign up in a service with a username and password there are a lot of unknowns. Do you know if their understand security at all, if your password is properly stored, if they protect your data from brute force attacks, timing attacks, etc.
Why are we altruistic? Guilt may play a role
I'm surprised the left has become so sympathetic to the corporate media all of a sudden. These people colluded to stop a once in a lifetime opportunity in Bernie Sanders to help their friend and collaborator Hillary Clinton, and so we ended up with Donald Trump. This was only a year ago.
Late Style: Why Many Artists Do Their Most Interesting Work in Their Final Years
Yes, but I also value my time.

It's a possible project, but you would need to not only have something that opened and closed, you would need a fan system to drive the air, and you would need to have it be thermally insulated when closed, and unless you have a very conservative cooling algorithm you would probably want a heating system to deal with the room getting too cold because the room itself is not thermally sealed.

It ends up being a DIY air conditioner/heater, which I'd rather just buy.
The comment you responded to has a point - even I take WaPo-publications with a truckload of salts of grain nowadays and I don't even have a stake in US-politics.
It is so cut and dry as facts vs fiction, but I think 2016 proved it's not easily solved.

Trump constantly spouted blatant fiction. He still does. This isn't one set of facts vs another.

Trump lies, then vilifies those who call out his lies, and somehow he's the hero.
That Broadwell-cpu is an exception. It is the only series for the desktop where Intel produced capable integrated graphics. Btw, it is also a very strong processor.

But it was released immediately before the next cpu generation was released. It got no real marketing, and support for it was abysmal – some to many games just produced a black screen with it. Based on its performance and pricing I'd have liked to recommend it, but given its socket and its support issues that was almost never a good idea.

Normally you'd compare the A10-7870K to the integrated HD graphics of a Skylake or Kaby Lake cpu, it beats those easily.
Maybe a language like scala should fit your needs better ?

I am using it since 8 months and give me all those abstractions you speak about and its elegant synthax allow me to be very productive. I don't know if I am as productive as I would have been using go, but I am certainly more productive than using Java.

But this not a language as easy to pick up as go (even though I didn't have much problem to pick it up right out of school).

I also think it is much more difficult to write reliable software in go than it is in scala. The much stronger type system (generics, algebraic data type) help me to check the correctness of my program at compile time.
Landing was filmed live from the rocket. Kinda cool to watch:

I think it's even simpler:

1. Know what it takes to run a database (including storage, backup, upgrade, lifecycle, failure modes)

2. Know how a containerized cluster manager manages process, storage, lifecycle, and failure modes

If you know both of those, running databases on Kubernetes (can't speak for swarm or mesos) is not hard or surprising, and you can get the benefits of both. If you don't know both of those in detail, you don't have any business running databases in containers.

The intersection of folks who know both is still small. And the risk of problems when you understand only one is still high.
Bullshit.

Bananas have always been classified by quality and size for international trade. Because the standards, set by individual governments and the industry, were confusing, the European Commission was asked to draw up new rules.

Commission regulation 2257/94 decreed that bananas in general should be “free from malformation or abnormal curvature”. Those sold as “extra class” must be perfect, “class 1” can have “slight defects of shape” and “class 2” can have full-scale “defects of shape”.

Nothing is banned under the regulation, which sets grading rules requested by industry to make sure importers – including UK wholesalers and supermarkets – know exactly what they will be getting when they order a box of bananas.

Yeah, thats pretty significant mistake

This is correct. Employees generally can't avoid taxes, whereas (self employed, or wealthy) people who understand the tax code are able to pay very little.

At the same time, most of the things the government is giving back tend to go to employees, so the people that pay most generally receive the most back from the system, which is good.
I take Vyvanse every day and it really helps with this. It's basically adderall, but instead of being released all at once, it's slowly metabolized into an amphetamine by your liver. Some people have horrid experiences with it (my friend couldn't sleep for 2 days) but it works like a charm for me. Maybe ask your doc about it?
This is just an orchestrated and sophisticated astro-turfing campaign launched by the oil and gas industry and in light of the hyper-polarized political landscape in the US, the Right had to pick the polar opposite of the Left's stance on the environment and climate change to prepare for another showdown with the Left and when you take into account that some are driven and motivated solely by their disdain for their opponent and not by the issue in question, it makes perfect sense that they feel so strong about this issue and fight environmental initiatives that would address the root causes of climate change.
"Developers buy properties in bad neighborhoods in the hope of improving and renting them, but without profit, where is the incentive to invest?*"

Precisely, there should be no profit incentive. Society doesn't need lazy landlords speculating on gentrification. I don't give a fuck if you're disincentivised to own 8 homes which you can rent out while you holiday in the carribean. Productive societies needs affordable housing for all classes of people. Property is not an asset for speculation or a VC-backed venture return model. Feel free to invest your spare cash in innovation and businesses seeking growth.

While the initial cost of EVs is higher the idea that you have to buy new batteries every 4-5 years is completely wrong. There are LEAFs with over 100k miles on their original batteries still running strong.

nginx can inject proxy_protocol - I know because I've enabled it by mistake! The kubernetes nginx ingress controller doesn't support it though. I think that is because most people use HTTP headers (X-Forwarded-For) instead. But if you do want it, you should open an issue explaining the use case so we can check our assumptions!
There is far more money involved, and unlike CFCs there are no easy plug and play substitutes.

Nuclear power is not a panacea. It looks good on paper but in practice there are tons of hidden costs and failures can be catastrophic. It also pretty much demands hefty regulation, which further adds to the cost in both monetary and social ways.

Finally there is a whole geopolitical order built around fossil fuels. Changing our energy system would fundamentally alter the power balance of the world.
I've had a quick look at your site because I'm currently using DO and Vultr with a PeerVPN[0] setup to connect the individual hosts - which brings me to my question:

Is it just a static website or do these instances communicate with each other?
If you do, I'd like to ask if you use a VPN to connect them (and which one)?

I'm relatively happy with PeerVPN (with one or two rather minor annoyances that most likely can be solved if I actually spent time on them) but am always curious about alternatives.

Great, thank you! this would help put a dent in climate change AND land use complaints surrounding ethanol :)
Yes I totally agree that there can be problems with high taxes (the Laffer curve, corruption, tax avoidance, etc). I was mainly refuting the idea that high tax rates must lead to "poorer" citizens. In many cases the money is just passed around, and if so it's a zero sum game.
I think that would only apply to bytes (ex: kilo- vs kibi-) notation, not bits.

Not really on your first point. A lot of the failures are not in the dangerous radiation parts of the nuclear plant, but in the cooling and power generation aspects. I've worked on planning software for a plant and have seen the incredible detail that goes into plant maintenance. Done right, nuclear power is safe. Don't go thinking that I'm a conservative, very liberal and environmentally friendly here.

I completely agree on your second point. It is all about profit.

Do we need another Dropbox?
Hi there,

most of us probably would find it difficult not to use Dropbox or similar products. It is just too convenient.

A few years ago my workflow has changed. I went all into the cloud. I stopped relying on the local file system anymore and started putting all my files into the Dropbox folder. It felt good. I stopped worrying about losing file, etc. But it all changed the more data I have. Now I am approaching 200GB on my Pro account and it is really painful at time, i.e.

- synchronization of thousands of files takes times and resources
- if I unsync a folder then I can't work with it
- not great offline mode - why it has to sync to open a file on mobile? I thought offline means... just that - offline.

I am wondering how people work with their files? Do you think that Dropbox supports your workflow as an individual or as a team?

Thanks
It is important to make a distinction between what has been reported, and what is true. Nothing is added to our site unless it is sourced from a credible source and all news from even credible sources that has anonymous sources is tagged as "Rumor/Unsourced". So let's say a credible source reports, using unnamed sources, that the national guard is going to be deployed to round up illegal immigrants. So we would write that as "According to the AP, the national guard is going to be deployed to round up illegal immigrants" and tag that as "Rumor/unsourced". Then when the next report comes out we say "The White house denies the report". And if another report came out about that issue we could tag them, and link them together as being the same issue. You would then be able to follow the timeline of events as they were reported. Contrast this to a newspaper which will massage the information you read each day, and to Wikipedia, which will remove the earlier reports to give you the truth. Problem is the general reader won't know what is kept in and what has been left out.

As for pushing a narrative, that is a form of bias that can be eliminated in the main by extracting the facts from articles. Consider two articles, one in the New York Times ("Trump's Florida rally shows he is unfit to lead" and in Breitbart ("Trump's Florida rally show's he is the best person to lead our country"). While both of these are highly partisan, the fact remains the same: Trump has a rally in Florida.

That said, our tools aren't perfect, but we can build on them.
Wikipedia barely scratches the surface of the scientific knowledge that would be lost in a breakdown of civilization. It also requires a certain level of technology to be able to read a digital version, or a large warehouse to store a print one.
Dams failure can be even more catastrophic, but people is not worried about it. For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banqiao_Dam

> Its failure in 1975 caused more casualties than any other dam failure in history at an estimated 171,000 deaths and 11 million displaced.[1] The dam was subsequently rebuilt.
If by intelligence, you mean in aggregate terms, I am very inclined to endorse your position here that we collectively as a species are not smart enough to solve these complex problems as some of us aren't up to the task and challenge at hand and can't even begin to comprehend what's at stake here for the fate of humanity and other living organisms on the planet.
I have a suspicion the US is way too far gone to try that - the adversarial model (the societal idea of "people vs the Government", rather than the Government being a representative of the people) is not going away any time soon.

A Used Renault Zoe can be bought for well under 10k EUR. In five years, replace the battery for an extra ~5K EUR (you probably won't need to, my EV battery is 4+ years old with 50k miles on it and still works great, but we'll include it in the cost just to calm your fears)

Even including a brand new battery, total cost is still well below your 15K EUR max budget, using real-world numbers you can actually purchase with today :

Yes, free speech is valuable, but unless you have thought through the following three issues, it doesn't matter how many philosophers you quote, you deserve to be taken as seriously as Casubon.

1) We have scientific evidence that repeating lies often enough causes perfectly rational people to behave as if they're true, even when they know they're not.

2) There's plenty of speech out there that is specifically targeted to exclude voices from conversation.

3) What is known as stochastic terrorism, where people with large audiences speak in a way that is guaranteed to get a violent response out of a small part of the audience.

You shouldn't be ashamed about this per se, because the type of action that will combat climate change is action by governments and corporations. An Inconvenient Truth made everyone think that small personal decisions are the way toward a greener future (think changing your lightbulb), but they aren't.
The answer to your question as I understand it is that conservatives (and libertarians) are never going to be OK with the idea that they need to participate in collective action of any kind.

Conservatives and their fellow-travelers have an obsession with this idea that humans are and should always be completely discreet entities with the fewest inter-connecting responsibilities as possible. It's the ultimate narcissistic ideology. It doesn't help that when people believe that their best interests are when they're divided, they're most easily preyed upon by those who REALLY hold the reins of power. The conservative ideology is Condorcet's Secret writ large.

As you've probably deduced, heading off the worst effects of Climate Change is probably the biggest collective action problem humankind has yet encountered.
Hey, doesn't "detecting place visit at scale" answer some of the comment question seen previously on HN? I remember someone saying they visited a bar and talked to someone and that someone was "recommended friend". And this video talks about asynchronous detection of your location. It detects you're both in the same bar for a period of time and that somehow contributes to you being recommended as friends? I might be chaining too many "if" and "maybe" here though. But the video is talking about this stuff at around 31 mins.

Edit: 14 mins in or 31 mins remaining, sorry.
