According to the link Java/Javac does not support the feature.

The JVM does, `bar(foo: List<String>): String` can be compiled to `bar(Ljava/util/List;)Ljava/lang/String;` and `bar(foo: List<Int>): Int` to `bar(Ljava/util/list;)Ljava/lang/Integer;` or somesuch, there is no ambiguity at the bytecode level.

In fact, the documentation for Class#getMethod specifically outlines this issue[0]:

> Note that there may be more than one matching method in a class because while the Java language forbids a class to declare multiple methods with the same signature but different return types, the Java virtual machine does not.

Remember when Facebook copied twitter and pushed hard for everyone to write public posts on their wall?

Facebook's character fundamentally changes - again.
Covering existing conditions is a wonderful thing. And it is a free lunch.

Regular wellness checks, etc., while wonderful, are a free lunch. They are not insurable. You can't insure for regular, scheduled services. Because math.[1]

If you see things like this - things that are either exorbitantly expensive or defy the bounds of underwriting or both you should expect to pay other prices, elsewhere.

[1] This is insurance 101. You cannot insure against regular, universally consumed services. There is no underwriting pool there. You cannot buy an auto policy that includes regular tire replacement - and if you could, the premiums would include 100% of the tires cost (plus admin).
Well, it might just be laying the groundwork for lazy loading. They probably thought some people might find it useful even as a "half feature".
Steve Jobs Said iPads Would Transform Teaching. Yet Few Colleges Use Them Widely
I don't quite understand why this service is attempting to charge for what is basically an email list, when email lists with more domains have been public for quite some time.
Because a single payer would, by definition, cover everyone.

Private insurance companies and employers (the two places most Americans get their health insurance from) may not want to pay for the higher costs associated with higher risk people like this. Employers would be especially susceptible to this sort of discrimination if proposed legislation allowing employers to demand genetic tests of their employees passes.

Lots. I am considering starting a small-scale residential real estate development company and am actively in the process of starting a brewery, for instance.

There are other software developers that I know doing both.
It's a strong argument against employer funded healthcare, but I get the impression that no one really takes the "employer funded healthcare is great and I would design it that way even if I were starting over from scratch" position. Does that sound right?
I look at an article and decide how much to skim or not to skim and maybe I read part of it in depth and skim other parts and then read more of it closely.

Summaries don't fit my use case and don't satisfy my interest and are not as enjoyable to read...I read because I enjoy it.

Good luck.

And medicine, and materials, and semiconductors (this board in particular loves to forget that these computers we all use are built on top of something), and antennas; the list goes on. What was once highly theoretical phd knowledge is now a byline in a junior level microelectronics course; the cutting edge having evolved to be unrecognizable to a person 60 years ago. It took us 40 years to go from a computer that could play chess to a computer that could win; took less than twenty to go from winning chess to winning Go (and exponential jump in complexity). In the same amount of time we've gone from mapping the human genome to editing it. Rechargeable battery technology that could power a vacuum for 30 minutes to driving a car for 400 miles.

Never forget that exponential change looks linear on the small scale.

The Mystery of Docker and the Disk-Eating Cow
Single payer is one of several good ways to insulate citizens from the costs of individual health events. Another approach removes even the shadow prices used by single payer, and provides health care as an infrastructure element.

Imagine if all roads were turnpikes with tolls. Single payer has the government pay those tolls. But for local roads, we would rather remove the toll booths and allow free and easy access. The same could be true of preventative care, basic access to an NP or similar, well child care, and such.
Drupal developer here. I've worked on core, maintain many contrib modules, etc. and have worked with Larry IRL on Drupally stuff. I really don't understand what this quote is talking about if they aren't specifically pointing at his history. He's never been less than pleasant and considerate of others in my IRL interactions with him. Also, from his post:

> Second: I've been involved in the Gorean community since 2002. I've been involved in Drupal since 2005. It took until late 2016 for anyone to realize I was in both. Moreover, from what I understand from the CWG the first "leak" was someone on that alt-lifestyle private forum who found my account there, screenshotted it, and started passing it around.

This is completely ignoring the useful use cases of "disposable" emails like privacy. I have a domain that I specifically use as a catch all, so anytime I sign up for a website I use the domain as the username, like news.ycombinator.com@forward.to.me.com

This helps protect me in many ways. If my email is sold or leaked, not a big issue, I can just add that specific email to a blacklist and I never need to get spam from it again. Or if I cancel and keep getting spam about rejoining, blacklisted. It makes it easy to keep my spam and newsletters to a minimal.

It has the built in advantage that I can always sign up for new trials if I want, just do thatdomain.com1@ thatdomain.com2@ and so on. Although I don't do this often, I have had to do it for various reasons.

I've hit on occasion websites that block their domain from being in the email address, likely a poorly implemented security check because their software might say anyone with a "@service.com" email is an admin or something. In that case, I enter some random crap. I never have to remember the emails, since I can just search my email history for the address the service sent the registration confirmation to.

However, the downside is privacy. I use my own domain, which contains my full name, so when I sign up to some services and want to do so without giving my name, I still rely on a disposable email service such as hidemyass.com; and I do this for many online services. I am not a believer that everything I sign up for needs to know my full name, address, and email - often services ask for this information for no reason.

So attempting to block these types of services, that have valid and useful benefits to users, simply harms your users. You can avoid spam users with a captcha, and for trail abusers you already can't do much because @gmail.com already allows for a lot of aliases to work like @googlemail.com, or user.@gmail.com or u.s.e.r@gmail.com etc, or user+whatevertheywant@gmail.com

Don't harm your users with useless validations.
Don’t build apps that encrypt customer data
I would agree with that, and it is a rare thing for bands to get better and not fall into that conforming pattern of what the label wants in order to generate money.

Its interesting to note that a lot of people parallel The Beatles with U2. U2 was always ahead of the curve in terms of music they were making. They were using EDM in their music as early as 1993 - years before other bands even began experimenting with it. Their Zooropa album had themes of electronic over stimulation and it was the start of them breaking away from their traditional sound - something they would continue doing until 2000's All That You Can't Leave Behind.
It's entirely possible that progress is being made in areas not immediately visible to the public.

You see the horses replaced with cars - what do you see of the advances in sewage management, or plastics recycling?

Also, an electric car is still a car, but it's still very different from a combustion engine, or a coal steam-engine, for that matter. Does the fact that a horse is so dissimilar to an electric/petrol car mean the two are relatively similar? That seems to be a fairly superficial distinction of change.
I add the name of whomever I'm mailing whenever I enter my address, like "cryptarch+microsoft@gmail.com".

If they remove the "+microsoft" portion mailing me, that email is sent to my spambox and reported to spamcop, because I did not sign up with that address; the address I signed up with has the +etc infix.

Eventually I figure companies will get wise to this and I'll have to set up my own server which does the same trick with an underscore instead of the "+" sign.
I never understood why people are so averse to unfriending people they don't talk to on Facebook. I'm down to few dozen "friends" on facebook because every couple months I go through the list and delete everyone I haven't spoken with or who is not relevant to my interests anymore. Also - no family friends, that's like rule number one.
The Pandas library is not written in C at all actually. You can view the source here: https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/tree/master/pandas

It's mostly Python with a bit of Cython, and pull requests that are not pure Python are more likely to be rejected. There's basically zero C++ in Pandas itself.
That was my point, only my wording was suboptimal.
It says a lot that a company would rather keep petabytes of data generated every week, that will never be used by anyone except its data mining algorithms and spy agencies, than throw it away and have a more sustainable storage solution that doesn't grow with time.

I am not convinced it makes sense for them to do it from an economic standpoint.
Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy
by David D. Burns - clinically depressed, the impact of learning & practicing cognitive behavioral therapy was life saving > http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/46674.Feeling_Good
Example of his books (unfortunately the only one I have read...so far)

Permutation City: People can run simulations of themselves or entirely migrate their consciousness into computer programs, but existence is often limited to the amount of computation that you can afford, leading to slow existences that stretch time into fractions of realtime. That premise had me hooked, but the book has fantastic thought provoking plot points throughout. Highly recommended.
This comes back to xutopia's comment. Almost every programmer has blind spots. It is often biased to judge the overall capability of a programmer just by looking at these minor spots. If a programmer is particularly good at breaking a complex problem down to manageable subtasks but knows little about assert, he/she could still be a 10x programmer. The thing is: it is easy to evaluate the proper use of assert, but it is much harder to evaluate the capability to solve complex real-world problems.

Availability monitoring, 0.7.3 released
My company has about 1,000 employees and underwrites its own insurance. They allocate a pool at the beginning of the year and anything that isn't used is written off as profit at the end of the year. I don't know anything more specific than that, but our medium sized, successful company does do this.
I'm not sure that's the right way to look at it.

For instance, let's say you have a small circle with a small bump on it. The circle represents current technology, and the bump is a change in technology (i.e. innovation).

Now take a much larger circle that has many small bumps on it. The bumps look tiny in comparison, but in aggregate, they are much larger than the bump from the smaller circle. In fact, at some point, they will be bigger than the old circle, even though it just looks like an un-smoothed circle.

Further, 60 years ago we were coming out of wartime, which meant that many innovations were able to come to market in a short period of time (they had been held up do to wartime limitations like rationing, material shortages, etc.)

This is why I think Thiel is wrong.
6 Successful Entrepreneurs and the Books That Changed Their Lives
> Java needs to be able to decide which overloaded method implementation to use at compile time, meaning you can't differentiate between method implementations based on return type alone.

That's not correct. Rust has no issue statically dispatching based on the return type.

Java-the-language does not allow it so it does not have to deal with calls which don't use the return value e.g.

int getSomething()
String getSomething()

If the return value is not used, you have to explicitly disambiguate this call somehow, and Java provides no way to do so.
Why do these corporations each want to kill each other as an end goal? Why can't they innovate in their own space and collaborate?

I think it's because they are built on two different platforms that it would not make economic sense to interoperate.

Compare that to open source.
No. Java itself handles the differing arguments.
The problem is that universities have a strong incentive to optimize for juicy press releases. A theorem -- unless it's 100 years old or otherwise somehow easy to relate to the general public -- does not have this effect. Winning a competition or "outperforming humans" does.

Aside from bumping up the quality of K-12 science education by at least an order of magnitude or two, I'm not sure there's a good solution to this problem. It's the human condition to be impressed by some things and not others, regardless of their relative actual importance.
ELIZA, is that you?

Because a single-payer health system (like the NHS) largely prevents this discrimination.
It is mentally exhausting, and I think it's highly underappreciated just how exhausting it is to listen to/deal with other peoples' problems as a manager in any capacity - especially when you yourself are not able to vent (either because of privity or because no one else understands).

This is why delegation is so important. As an organization grows, it literally becomes impossible to manage everyone by yourself. But enlisting talented managers who understand these concepts helps to alleviate this issue.

To answer your final questions, maintaining energy requires deliberate planning of the energy you expend in other areas. For me, I rarely drink because alcohol has undefined impact on my energy levels (I get tired, and it's not like a video game that I can flip a switch and be awake and ready). But more importantly, organizing your activities between <energy consuming> and <energy restoring> has been particularly helpful for me. Once I took the time to understand what takes energy from me and what restores it, I was able to experiment with planning my days to ensure that I have enough energy to expend, while maximizing the energy I do expend.

At first I though this is for those situations where you find yourself urged to modify the css in your javascript. But looking at the documentation, this seems to be a way to write the complete CSS in JS, and then to have it compiled into CSS. Do I understand that wrong? If not: Why would one want that?
It's still present in the bytecode (since the VM has to know which method to call).
That's a fair point, but it does align with what I was trying to get across.

That being that achieving 'technological progress' with a milestone that applies only to the super wealthy is only one part of technological progress. Bringing it to millions of people at an affordable cost is also something worth considering.

High risk pools are an answer to the questions posed here. A collective will to ignore reality would not seem to be an answer to me.
Every place has a culture, which has rules and expectations that don't depend on your own personal opinions. I would agree with GP that the culture of Facebook says that unfriending someone means something negative towards them.
Ok I agree, that was clearly an overstatement. I guess I am annoyed by news outlets commenting on scientific studies that are sensational.
If they're not providing you with any value, then don't give them your email address.

If it's just a Regex check then you can just use dslfkjsdlfj@fdsjfs.com. If it requires you to click on a verification link in the email then that is quite a high bar for you to go through to obtain something of `no value`.

I'd love to know more about the history of the joint. I was always under the impression that it was closely linked to the rise of cigarettes in western cultures as the preferred method of taking tobacco. the joint is just a cannabis version of a cigarette.

was it the cigarette culture of the west that gave rise to the joint? were there other factors involved? what were the most prevalent methods of ingestion prior to joints?
The bytecode encodes that information, the method identifier includes name, parameter types and return type.
I think the mistake was using the word "block". A general purpose "email type classifier" might be useful.

No need to block the temporary email, but you might use that information for other purposes, like having it be some weight to a fraud detection system. Note, not calling it out as fraud outright, but using it as one data point among others.
Think of preventative healthcare itself as insurance against ailments popping appearing only once they're far more expensive to fix.
If you're concerned about family farms you would oppose things too like ag-gag laws regarding un-hygenic food production/abuse and the general anti-humane industrialization of food products both animal and other.

These are far more potent threats to traditional pastoral and agricultural traditions than tax policy. If it was just a bunch of family farms competing against each other (or more likely forming co-ops given history) then it might be a bit more of a fair playing field.
I think that does sound right. I never understood why healthcare was so tied to employers in the first place. Healthcare should be entireley independent of employment status in my opinion... but, and I'm sure given HN demographics I'm likely to be in the minority, I find the ACA to be unconstitutional, specifically the mandate, so I have recently been trying to bone up on the legal discussion surrounding the general welfare and commerce clauses to understand the nuance left there for single payer but without a mandate.
>You can choose who you share your stories with on Facebook.

Sure, I get that from a pure functional perspective. However, I'm talking about psychology of app usage.

Consider an example of an iPhone home screen.[1] The user sees the Snapchat icon and a Facebook icon next to each other. I believe that many people (millions) will mentally compartmentalize the yellow ghost as "my real friends" and the blue "f" as "every random acquaintance that ever sent me a friend request and I never said no because of etiquette."

Usage of each icon evolved to become its own "world" so to speak. Sure, one could theoretically create sub-worlds inside of Facebook but a customized "real friends of Facebook inside of Facebook" seems to be more work than just pushing the button with the yellow ghost. Staying inside the Snapchat world also minimizes accidentally sending the wrong Facebook-story to the wrong Facebook-friend.

Most medium-to-large employers in the US are self-insured, although big insurers manage the plans for them. When I was working at a factory with a couple of thousand employees, one of them crushed her leg in a motorcycle accident and required a total amputation. Shortly thereafter (and before her return to work) we had an all-hands meeting where they emphasized the importance of vehicular safety during our off hours. HR didn't name any names, although everybody knew who they were talking about.

A Practitioner’s Perspective on A-Frame:  –Interview with Roland Dubois
Such carelessness was fairly normal for the time: the surveyors were often under pressure to complete quickly, even in the worst territory, with poor equipment and little actual training. On top of that, they were often bribed to move boundaries one way or the other, or interested themselves in engaging in land speculation, so were less than honest in their surveys.

Anyone interested in this fascinating history should read Andro Linklater's Measuring America.
Because some services have sensitive information and need a reliable way to contact you. If you use my service and attach your credit card to pay for it, and used a disposable email to sign up with and your account gets breached, who's fault is it that I couldn't email you and let you know?

Sure if it's some throw away service that doesn't have such sensitive information, that's fine, but there's many reasons to use such a service.

Maybe I've been extremely fortunate - but that just hasn't the case at where I work. I'm very clear about why I don't attend these things and people are very understanding.

Perhaps it is because I have a very visible impact on my department or maybe because all decision making is done during office hours. The bar is for play and karaoke - not to talk about work. The company culture treats any work discussion during team outings as taboo. You won't be punished for it but you'll be told kindly to shut up and have fun - work will be back again next Monday. Talk about it then. :)

If I had to guess, that probably plays a huge part into why the company doesn't have those sort of problems.
