garbage IP-theft. This morning, clicked on a link to a video in facebook. Took me to a page where someone had embedded the youtube video on their page. And then did one of those screen-sized inlays asking me to disable my ad blocker.

Stepping down as moderator of r/btc and exiting to join the Ethereum communiy
A week or two ago I updated a fairly large project to 3.1. Not as painful as the 3.0 upgrade by any means, but there were still a fair few warnings about features that will be deprecated in future releases. Dropping support for the initialize() function was probably one of the most prominent.

To me that seems like a nice way of doing it - warning developers about approaching changes with a fairly strong warning message, and allowing time for those changes to take place.

Charlie Munger – USC Law School Commencement
I would say that there is something obvious wrong that is causing society to have 87.5% (Swedish statistics) of citizens, equal amount women and men, working in professions that has serious gender segregation in favor of their own gender. The trend is that the remaining 12.5% men and women that actually work in a gender equal environment (minimum 40% of each gender) is continuing shrinking and we have yet to see how far gender segregation will go until it start to reverse.

I sincerely doubt that the 43.75% of professions that is male dominated is purely caused by genetic aspect, nor the other 43.75% of profession that is female dominated. What I have heard it seems more like it is a combination of the flip of a coin and culture, through the question is then if culture simply adapted to segregation or if it caused it.
I believe I hear pitch correction when it's obviously used, and it's a lot. Pretty much most of the "top forty" pop pablum from the last 20 years. I believe there is pitch correction that I don't spot: the "dark matter" of pitch correction that is done less cheesily.

The worst of it sounds almost like packet loss concealment in a G.722 voice stream: the sustained part of a vocal note basically sounding synthesized.

It's not right to blackmail somebody. But the reason he was blackmailed probably had absolutely nothing to do with BDSM and everything to do with something related to Drupal or some other area where he had a dispute with someone else. BDSM was probably just a prejudice of convience, assuming the story is exactly how it is presented.

So, if would be more concerned about not making people want to blackmail you, than about the particulars of how accepting people will be od what you could be blackmailed with.

> But the worst argument you can make is "People will always tie up the pilot and copilot, and banning shoelaces won't stop this."

Nobody ever, ever made that argument. The argument was that people will always try to strangle the pilot. People will always have dirt on their shoes. There is a way to keep my carpet clean, but banning Nikes won't do it.

You will never get the percentage of people who want to commit terrible acts to zero, so at a certain point, you hit the point of diminishing returns so hard that it not only gets you literally zero gain, it can actually start to increase your risk.
I'm not a Rust user (yet), but I'm a little surprised that with its emphasis on safety Rust doesn't maintain all debug safety checks in production by default. You could then do some profiling and turn off only those few (or one or none) that actually turned out to provide enough real-world, provable benefit to be worth turning off in this specific piece of code.

Since you would turn them off one at a time explicitly, rather than having a whole set of them disappear implicitly, you would probably also tend to have a policy of requiring a special test suite to really push the limits of any specific safety issue before you would allow yourself to turn that one off.

Obviously, if this occurred to me at first glance, it occurred to the designers, who decided to do it the other way after careful consideration, so I'm just asking why.
50+ Amazing and Clever Examples of Alternative Movie Poster Design
I could only get a cached text version of the link to load, but I'm surprised to see not a single mention of The Landlord's Game. It was the precursor to Monopoly developed by Elizabeth Magie, and intentionally designed to be an unfair and unbalanced game in order to demonstrate certain economic principals.

The earliest known version of Monopoly, known as The
Landlord's Game, was designed by an American, Elizabeth
Magie, and first patented in 1904 but existed as early
as 1902. Magie, a follower of Henry George, originally
intended The Landlord's Game to illustrate the economic
consequences of Ricardo's Law of Economic rent and the
Georgist concepts of economic privilege and land value
taxation.

The game was created to be a "practical demonstration
of the present system of land grabbing with all its usual
outcomes and consequences". She based the game on the
economic principles of Georgism, a system proposed by Henry
George, with the object of demonstrating how rents enrich
property owners and impoverish tenants. She knew that some
people could find it hard to understand why this happened and
what might be done about it, and she thought that if Georgist
ideas were put into the concrete form of a game, they might
be easier to demonstrate. Magie also hoped that when played
by children the game would provoke their natural suspicion of
unfairness, and that they might carry this awareness into
adulthood.

"Awaken; return to yourself. Now, no longer asleep, knowing they were only dreams, clear-headed again, treat everything around as a dream." P76

"It's normal to feel pain in your hands and feet, if your using your feet as feet and your hands as hands. And for a human being to feel stress is normal - if he's living a normal human life. And if it's normal, how can it be bad?" P76

"You can hold your breath until you turn blue, but they'll still go on doing it." P102

Kiiiinnnnda. People make bad decisions, and the only architecture that matters is the one that lets you change. It's like the dig-once fiber policy for roadways, and is all part of the "don't build to peak value" idea; it's also like a usual problem with user interface design: if you only ever built user tools to do what you imagined, users (or later owners / tenants) are limited to your imagination.

> At one point in the movie, the character Ian [Jeremy Renner] says, “The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis says that if you immerse yourself in another language, you can rewire your brain.” And that made me laugh out loud, because Whorf never said anything about rewiring your brain. But since this wasn’t the linguist speaking, it’s fine that another character is misunderstanding the Sapir-Whorf.

As a Biochemist-- this is not a misunderstanding! Everything in our brain is rewired as we learn things and as we develop heuristics. So of course thinking differently relies on rewiring your brain. There's no spirit or soul hidden in our brain, it's all wires.

This linguist needs a neurobiology course. :3

Biggest change to me in this release is that iOS now switches language immediately with hardware keyboard rather than after the switcher animation ended.

This problem is not very noticable if you do not use non-Latin input method. However for some languages (Thai in my case), in iOS 10.2, it means you will have to wait a little moment until the language switcher faded out until you can type in the target language, otherwise it will still stuck at previous language. I'm really glad to see this fixed.

(Previously I workaround this problem by using Capslock, which seems to be able to make iOS go into latin input mode.)

Well, that's exactly the point. Just as corporations extract questionable value from society on behalf of their owning structure, unions extract questionable value from society on behalf of the workers. They are a similar-in-kind counterweight to corporate power, so it stands to reason they do similar things.

As it turns out in capitalism "extracting questionable value from society and taking it for yourself" is really the currency of power so an organization that doesn't do that is completely toothless and may as well not exist.

Tao Te Ching (Daodejing) by Lao-tse (Laozi). This is my favorite translation:

http://www.wright-house.com/religions/taoism/tao-te-ching.ht...

The text gives advice on both how to behave on a personal level and how to lead (and therefore what to expect from a good leader). It promotes the idea that ambition leads to strife and conflict and that the path to happiness is to be content with what you have. It also promotes the abandonment of pride and ego: Do your work and walk away, do not concern yourself with getting credit for what's been achieved. Be like water and flow around problems instead of butting your head against them. Be malleable, do your thing, and don't worry about what others are doing around you.

When it comes to how to lead, it says you should micro manage, and that the best leader is invisible. They make the group members think that they achieved it all themselves.

A lot of the things go against the current climate of ambition, greed, and always being visible in social media. How can you increase your salary without taking credit for all the good things you do? How can you be productive, and show others how productive you are, if you abandon ambition and are content? I still find that it calms me to think about the ideas, and that it feels like someone has my back when I don't want to become the center of attention. I just want to do my work and my hobbies, being happy with what I have, and not trying to maximize my salary or social standing.

That article just says women negotiate less/worse. I'm saying good negotiator will get paid regardless of gender. Wether women can negotiate as good as men is another question. But as I said in another comment, this is skill issue, not gender issue. Wage gap studies that have controls throughout the board show there's no significant pay difference. My anecdata confirms that.

It's unclear because the second paragraph is about why the replacement is compatible with pgAgent, literally, "The reason for..." - not that it is a replacement.

It could also be a replacement for something else that runs on top of pgAgent, or something else that doesn't, and one of the features is that this is compatible.

Does that make sense?
The "terrorist org" never used those letters in the first place. The acronym in Arabic is "Daesh". ISIS is an English-language acronym formed from a (bad[1]) translation of the group's name. Think about it: why would a decidedly muslim organization name itself in a foreign language after a forgotten infidel goddess?

[1] Most western journalists rapidly moved off onto ISIL, which is a better translation (the name never referred to Syria the nation, but the geographical area better captured by "Levant"). Really only the right-wing sources continue to use "ISIS", presumably because it sounds more like a Bond villain's outfit.
The thing is, the subject of a photo, the scene and its subjects, are usually not the artists. The photographer is the artist. Photography is processing from the get-go: how the film or CCD responds to light and so on. The grain from low-light on sensitive film can be part of the art and so on.

If you mess with the colors of a scene, you're not taking away artistic control from that scene.

You also don't put limitations on the post processing art; you're not doing it to fool anyone.

There is post processing in music that is obvious art in an analogous way, like taking sampled sounds and re-mixing them to create new stuff. There are effects that are obviously effects. I'm not going to scoff at a great studio reverb, or some echo applied to a vocal or whatever. Nobody is saying that this was recorded in some fjord in Sweden with real echo bouncing off a distant ice wall; there is no lie.

“MONEY FOR NOTHIN'” TRUMP PARODY VIDEO
OK, so let's say Musk and Kalanick have received a similar amount of flak for associating themselves with the Trump committee. First, that's not even remotely true (and no, I can't be bothered to perform a statistical survey, at least not for free); and second, it would obviously be counterproductive for qualified industry figures to turn down an opportunity to make their voices heard in government, regardless of any other controversies the President may be embroiled in at the moment. Criticizing people merely for taking an interest in their government's policymaking process is absurd.

So. What about the other 18 members? Why isn't anyone on HN or elsewhere attacking them?
