Again, it's about discoverability. If browsers support this natively, visiting a website would put up a virtual "link" of some sort to see the discussions for every url, as you visit them. There's a difference between discussion exists somewhere, and discussion is tied to your website/url.

It doesn't make sense at all.

Until the end of the two years of the Article 50 negotiation (or before, if both the EU and the UK agree), the UK is a full member of the EU, with all the obligations that this entitles.

That includes the right to live and work of citizens of other EU countries.

Restricting that unilaterally is a gross violation of the treaties.

I wonder if people know how much their data is being accessed by 3rd parties? Maybe it starts with Intuit getting permission for something convenient and a few unread, auto opt-in "change of service agreements" later, they can share it with everyone.
> If you are an EU citizen looking to move to the UK: just don't. This country has decided they don't need you and me, they don't deserve our labour, our ideas and our taxes.

Well, 52% of the people who voted kinda, sorta said that. The rest of us are just being dragged along at the moment.
It's sad how even the Independent is now taken by misleading headlines. They are considering stopping it 'after a “cut-off date”'' to prevent abuse of people from poor eastern Europe countries to flood UK before it leaves the EU. Right there in the first couple of paragraphs.

I used to have a lot of respect for the BBC, Financial Times, and The Independent. Even The Guardian being partisan had the basic decency of putting things in perspective of the opposing side.

Nowadays all turned into hardcore fanatics looking how to manipulate as much as possible the news to provoke reactions in readers.

Perhaps they were cornered into this by the readership. And by Facebook and other social networks creating a cutthroat environment where only nasty clickbait survives.

It's very sad. We are witnessing the end of respectable journalism.
You challenge my point of "not upsetting doctrine and/or your superiors" by saying some scientists find it "easier to fool their managers than to produce legit science."

I don't think it's worthless to point out that a number of strategies are bad, and likely counterproductive. It might just be the case that there are no good foolproof methods for getting through the US border without any negative effects on your privacy or convenience.

The only real solution is to change government policy.
I agree with your attitude in the long run (and am looking to move out myself), but in the immediate I think it's important for people to prepare so that they are not arbitrarily pressured into making immediate choices. Say you own a house, and the government says you don't have a right to live here anymore; you'll likely sell that house at a low price as you rush to relocate. History is full of this sort of profiteering following forced exodus (Spanish Jews, German Jews, Turkish Greeks and so on). If a bit if bureaucracy can save you from that, I think it's smart to do it.
It's also worth pointing out that several similar 'holes' in theories have turned out to be correct. Things like missing elements in the periodic table, and fundamental particles like the Ω− baryon or the Higgs boson, where all things that seemed like holes in a theory, but were later discovered to exist.

You made the incorrect assumption that voting is an inalienable right. By who's standard? We've lived most of our history without the right to vote and survival of the fittest was the way humanity and nature functioned (I.e. the strongest rule). And no, episitocracy wasn't used in the south. Blacks weren't considered human. That's not the same as episitocracy. Those are two very different issues. It's not quite episitocracy if the same standard isn't being applied to the entire population. In the south the literacy tests were being given ONLY to black people even though alot of the white people who were allowed to vote simply for being white probably wouldn't have passed those tests. http://www.wpr.org/georgetown-philosopher-right-vote-defect-...

For everyone on HN that's afraid of being harassed for their politics because of how Trump support was received, this story and worse ones to come are exactly what we were afraid of coming from Trump. This was never just about policy, the current administration is giving license to treating people who don't look "American" enough with suspicion and they made that intention clear in their campaign.

If this was just about tax rates and government spending policies no one would be nearly as upset.

Love all the doom and gloom outrage. Just because trump got elected I feel like way too many people are in a mild form of hysteria, and use any excuse to vent their uncontrolled expression of emotion.

Look, this was a stupid decision made by a stupid officer. An officer who lives es in Aggie land too! (For those of you not in Texas, Aggies aka A&M people are known for being good old country levels of dumb, and are often the butt of jokes.)

Now, that's not an excuse, but this was an outlier fuckup that has happened for years before Trump, though I'm willing to grant its probably more likely to happen with overzealous people in this political climate.

Its funny that the UK has been doing stuff like this to vast amounts of US persons visiting the UK on the same bad understanding of people giving payed for speeches/debates, but everyone has suddenly forgotten about that.

Look, there is room for improvement, and officers in this position should be held to a higher standard by their superiors, but when all you have is a hammer(outrage mode), everything begins to look like a nail (outrageous action), so let's work on calming down and being a bit more rational and focused on practical ways to solve issues please.
I don't understand your post. What are you trying to say?
Your first paragraph seems to contradict the rest of your story.

It's absolutely true that some IKEA stuff is very low quality. Like the Billy: the shelves of the wide Billy sag when you put too many books on them. But IKEA also has higher quality furniture from solid wood. More expensive of course, but also sturdier. They're designing for various quality/price points.

I once had a really sturdy IKEA desk, either Galant or its predecessor. It was strong enough to stand on with two people. Unfortunately its successor sagged with a single person leaning against it. I loved that desk, but my wife didn't like it and felt it was too big.

My main problem with IKEA is that their beds are only 2 meters long. They've got really comfortable and affordable mattresses that my wife loves, but due to my height we have to shop for more expensive brands (which are supposed to be better and more comfortable, but turn out not to be).
This is, for better or worse, a populist decision.

I'd be all in favor of other countries holding up any Americans coming through on a tourist visa. Maybe if enough of their friends gripe about the way they're being treated overseas, Trump country will think "Oh, it's really not a very nice way to treat people." (To say nothing of ineffective)

You appear erudite and very confident in your interpretation of history. So could you explain to us why you assign greater historical importance to energy than information technologies such as paper and the printing press, which amplified and spread the crucial cultural shift towards scientific methods and experimentation?

I don't get why the discovery of a non-preimage attack is causing so much consternation.

If the mere existence of collisions is not acceptable to your VCS, then your VCS can't use a hash, period.

If you're worried about an intentional attack, it's no closer today than it was last week: the attacker doesn't control the output hash of the collision, or either input.

> I sure hope Intel is not up to the same antitrust-worthy shenanigans again.

That's why I posted this even though it's nothing but a rumor at this point. I've met many colleagues over the last years who either didn't knew or had forgotten what Intel did in the past. This rumor should remind them to be wary when reading the reviews (just in case).
And it is, though, not among a set of hashtable implementations you assumed.

It is quite similar with how you wrote "fastest" instead "fastest among all existing publicly available implementations". Nothing wrong with that, since it is obvious from context, very much the same way it is obvious from article what author means.

OK, wait, this does not make sense. If half of Romania an Bulgaria wanted to come to the UK, they would already be there. Because free movement already exists.

Why would anyone decide now to "quickly move to the UK", just because they are leaving the EU? I would rather see this as a disincentive to move there, as a EU citicen, right now...
"This country has decided they don't need you and me, they don't deserve our labour, our ideas and our taxes."

What about an EU citizen deciding to move to the US, Canada, Australia, Brazil or India? These countries were never in the EU. Did they therefore decide they don't need EU citizens? If not, why is the UK after it exits from the EU necessarily a less welcoming place for EU citizens than other non-EU countries?

I sympathize and am inclined to agree with your position, but be a little more charitable and don't try to psychoanalyze other commenters; the second half of your third point is unnecessarily harsh, and doesn't help the argument.

I can understand the viewpoint against allowing deletions, and it's not necessarily a "ratpack mentality" of storing it all: it's losing the pearls in the chaff. Sure, most comments are worthless after a few days, let alone months or years, but a few are still valuable. I've been browsing the web for quite a while now, and I've never bookmarked much, let alone tried to "save it all", yet it still pains me a little that the few links I did save are mostly lost.

That said, I don't think that's enough to justify not allowing deleting comments. I'm just saying we shouldn't paint a caricature of people with different positions, even if we fully disagree with them.

All that aside, there's another point: HN can't actually delete your comments, they can only delete their copy. Dumps have and will be made, and a simple search can find comments by your nickname outside of news.ycombinator.com, and this is inevitable on an open site. Isn't there the danger of creating a false sense of privacy?
With all due respect I don't even think America has a "one man one vote system" in practice. The idea of super pacs and an easily manipulated populace combined with a bipartisan political system seems to me like America is living the illusion of democracy. The current system already keeps certain classes down. Blacks and Hispanics don't tend to have the same voter turn out as wealthy white folks do. Besides, does the current system even address their needs? It seems biased towards helping the wealthy. So I'm not sure in practice democracy is doing a great job.

Evidence for atoms and protons was already there before they were "invented". I think neutrinos and the Higgs boson were theorized before their discovery.

Physics also has an unfruitful history of invisible stuff: ether, strings (string theory), etc.

Personally I'm glad something other than dark matter is being considered. I was only told that the rotational velocities of galaxies did not match the predictions. IME simple explanations tend to work better for mechanics in physics (until quantum mechanics...)

Here's the same headline from the Britain's pro-Conservative paper the Telegraph:

"Theresa May poised to announce end of free movement for new EU migrants next month"

I'm an EU citizen living in the UK, and I held my breath reading this headline. I was relieved to read alecco's comment (and the actual article). I think that's what he means: the headline sounds like she's going to kick EU citizens out. After all, the headline, as it stands, applies to me. Her actual words, very explicitly, do not. That is misleading.
> If you are an EU citizen looking to move to the UK: just don't

I call BS on that. UK is quite open to LEGAL worker immigration from anywhere around the world. What's the big deal? I worked in UK for years and I'm not EU. Many Americans, Asians, Australians, etc. go through these channels without issue. After a few years they give you residentship. And shortly after that they give you citizenship.

It's crazy how this is all made to sound like UK is going to become Cuba or something. ALARMIST NONSENSE by radicalization and willful ignorance.

> Where calculation of a and d is executed in parallel.

Why then not to try to reason from the assembler/machine code standpoint?

The parallel calculation above could be done in different ways:

a) the compiler would emit two "scalar" ADD instructions following one another (allocate registers so independent execution is possible).

b) the compiler would coalesce both additions b+c and e+f into one vector operation (let's assume data layout makes such optimization useful), and emitted only one "vector" (SIMD) instruction.

In the case a) the two scalar instructions would be fetched "sequentially" by the prefetch unit, but executed in parallel, in two separate instances of the adder ==> "super-scalar".

In the other case, the vector operation would not be paired with another instruction which is part of the computation above you mentioned.

EDIT: corrected typo in operands of the coalesced additions.
