The reasoning doesn't fall on its face just because you pick an activity that shouldn't be outlawed in the first place.

Interpreting 'should' in the legal sense, then yes holding the bong seller accountable is a valid argument that can be made. And the second scenario is possibly valid too, depending on some details like what they actually sell and what specifically the illegal activity is.

It's not a particularly slippery slope.

I don't really like that kind of enforcement, but it can be done in a reasonable enough manner.
I played with an older version of it a few years back - it has a bit of a learning curve, but well worth the effort.

If you are into coding - there is an interesting tool out there for creating 3D CAD files using a software-based paradigm (that is, you "code" your object):

http://www.openscad.org/

If you prefer something browser based:

https://openjscad.org/

Also:

http://www.implicitcad.org/

Finally - if you want something closer to freecad (mouse/gui) but browser based:

http://shapesmith.net/

There are a few other solutions out there as well that are open source (and note - not all of the above can really be considered "CAD" in the strictest sense of the work - freecad is really the only one, honestly) - but these are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.
I'd suggest that, if your net worth exceeds a million dollars and your entire income/value is derived from the current startup trends embodied by YC, you are uniquely unqualified to start talking about helping workers.

The OP was also ignoring what happens to aircraft traveling at high velocities and colliding with reinforced structures. Something like the F-4 test in 1988 is illustrative of what can happen [1] (note: only the wingtips survived, and only because they never impacted the target).

Of course, the immediate rebuttal usually offered by conspiracists is to suggest that the Pentagon was not a block of concrete, which is true, but it is still a reinforced structure with a stone façade. The design limited the travel of the 757 toward the interior rings of the building (though it still penetrated) but it was far less destructive being as 1) the 757 is a smaller aircraft than a 767 and 2) the reinforced structure of the Pentagon prohibited a substantial portion of the damage.

I'm still not sure why there are individuals who believe this to be some ridiculous conspiracy, because they're clearly retroactively applying our technological and cultural circumstances today to the attacks in 2001--completely ignoring evidence such as what you've presented of the phones available in that era. Not to mention that if the Pentagon was indeed "chock full of cameras" in 2001, they were likely monitoring exits, hallways, etc., and probably wouldn't show anything interesting: One moment, power and lights are on; next moment, everything is dark or the feed is off. A bit useless!

My concern isn't that there will be widespread unemployment, it's more that there will be a higher barrier of entry to the labor market and/or high skill workers will displace low skill workers. Let's say that 20% of entry level or unskilled labor jobs are replaced by automation, but an equal amount of skilled labor or knowledge oriented jobs are created. Basically, jobs that require training or experience.

Well, training and experience aren't free. You can't just show up and start welding things. There's apprenticeships or union schools or maybe you're lucky enough know someone with a welding kit, but you need to learn how to weld first. It's not entirely one of those artificial market barriers. Bad welds can create structural integrity issues and can be difficult to fix so they've got to be done right the first time. It's skilled labor, and skills take time to acquire.

These newly created jobs require some kind of capital to access. Could be just money to pay for education, or could be social capital of knowing the right people, or time spent learning the skill, but you're not gonna show up for the job. There's plenty of reasons why someone would have trouble finding that capital. Maybe they work to help support the family and don't have the time for education. There could be any number of reasons though that getting new skills is difficult, and there's no mail room for you to start in and work your way up to management. What happens when you can't afford bootstraps?

Also, as industries change or new industries are created, this can make it harder to transition to other industries if your skills don't transfer. You better have some savings or safety net while you retrain for a new industry if yours is collapsing.
So, while I'm not sold that we'll have widespread unemployment, but I think it's more likely that social mobility takes a hit and the inequality gap widens.

There's some evidence that this is already happening and while more people are graduating the number of jobs requiring those degrees isn't increasing as fast, so higher skilled workers are pushing lower skilled workers down the ladder.

Not to mention that things are changing faster and faster (that exponential innovation curve), so changes that could wait for a new generation will need to be addressed sooner.

Yes, big databases can disable the OS scheduler (CPU pinning) and file caching (O_DIRECT) so they can perform workload-aware optimizations for better performance than general-purpose OS mechanisms.

The United States certainly has a greater capacity than any other nation, state, or empire in all of history. On balance, it's been ... relatively benign. Not perfectly so by a long shot (see my comments elsewhere in this thread: Zinn, Chomsky, Twain, Sinclair, etc.). Absolutely could have been better. Should be introspected.

But in the context of "is Wikileaks anywhere arguably near unbiased", absolutely not.
Well... that's actually true. The US are where they are because of their military power and intelligence.
I was recently forced into being a power Google calendar user. A new job demanded me to use it, previously I added maybe 2 events / year. Now I have to schedule a whole class's daily activity.

My brief experience was a total disaster, it's one of Google's horrible products, I sadly have to live with. I rarely hit my desk with my fist but it has happened. I'd be really really happy if any alternative would exist, I don't even care about not being open source.
Do FPGAs have a future beyond "prototyping non-memory intensive algorithms for eventual ASIC implementation"?

It seems to me that the scale out + scale up method of x86 and GPUs are the most promising and profitable arenas still, besides some very niche and very particular applications?

I could and would like to be wrong. I'd go learn FPGA dev then if there were things that needed accelerating and were personally lucrative to me :)
Using Redux for UI State Management in Angular
If you want to look for a decent part-time job, I would guess you could look for somewhere that employs a lot of late 20s and 30s women.

Alternatively, a company which has employees who work in shifts is likely to already have the infrastructure for people to track their working time and be paid accordingly.

The same goes for somewhere where people work on multiple projects for different clients on a payment for time spent basis (you have to know how much you worked for each client in order to bill them).

The downside is that you would likely have to fill in a timesheet.

When a user clicks on the canvas to place a tile, that click is transmitted to the server along with an x,y location. The server decides whether the user is authorized to place the tile.

The canvas exists on the server as an N-by-M array of values. If the user is authorized to place the tile, this array is modified at the specified x,y location to the value the user selected.

When the page is first loaded, the server transmits that NxM array of values to your browser. The browser then builds a canvas element which is essentially a "viewer" of that NxM array of values.

Presumably the page leverages caching, so that when you reload the page, the server only re-transmits the parts of the NxM array that have actually changed since the last time you visited.

Throw in some DoS protection and some realtime updates and you're done.

It's a neat technical achievement with interesting results. Unfortunately HN doesn't seem to be picking up the story.
I agree.

Why is anyone holding a site meant for whistleblowing and leaking of confidential information and the website of a newspaper to the same standard?

Apples and oranges, IMO: It's not really fair to get mad at an orange for not giving you apple juice.

>Therefore, for WikiLeaks to become highly partisan is a radical departure from their original mission; moreover, it has happened without WikiLeaks acknowledging that this is the case. I think you can't same the same for the NYT.

Well said. I don't get the partisanship from Wikileaks. What do they gain by picking sides? What is encouraging (or discouraging) Wikileaks to play cherry picker?

The slightly more sophisticated and worrisome complaint is that the media chases after whatever Wikileaks releases, so Wikileaks can drop a nothing-burger with a juicy headline and then the US media prints the headline, even though it is only vaguely supported by the drop.

I know that this is very unlikely to happen, but I wish Ubuntu had rolling releases. For me it would be okay to have a new version every 10 years (for heavy migrations like UEFI, 64 Bit, systemd). I had Ubuntu on most PCs at home, but switched most of them to Arch, as I was sick of the 6-mothly horror upgrades.

- FLAVOR: Ubuntu Desktop

- HEADLINE: Rolling Releases

- DESCRIPTION: make a distribution which does not require any 'apt-get dist-upgrade' as 'apt-get upgrade' always brings it to the latest stable software version (like Arch and Gentoo)

- AFFILIATION: just a long time linux user

You underestimate the cost of the physical infrastructure to be an "ISP upstart".
In a typical Lisp system you measure runtime and you'll get GC time, too. In Common Lisp you use the TIME macro for that.

In LispWorks I would for example set a memory check for a certain memory size. That would call a function when memory grows over a limit.

You then don't need to look at a heap dump, you can inspect the Lisp memory from the inside with the usual tools...

I actually really liked the egg as an icon, and I'm sad to see it go. The colors should have been rethought though. Muted colors that are universal for all accounts (instead of each account getting its own bright color) would also encourage users to upload their own photos.

I don't see the point of using an "alternative" head shape, or including shoulders in the default image. No matter how the head is shaped, it'll represent some users more than others. Using an egg avoided this issue of approximating a human shape.
Really it all boils down to a lack of community. Yeah I know, it sounds like something the dad from Leave it to Beaver would say.

My favorite example goes back to the days of Quake(World). It was a surprisingly bright and sunny place. You'd pop on to a few community run servers to say "hi". Maybe play a few rounds of whatever mod you were into.

When bad actors showed up, they were punted. If they came back they were literally gunned down (whoever had admin access would put them on a team by themselves and everyone would finish them off). As a result of having access to self-policing the number of bad actors were generally low in a healthy community.

As time wore on the goal became customer retention. I can remember publishers selling this as "curated team building" around the time the first X-Box came out. It all went downhill from there. You weren't a member of a community anymore, you were a license holder and a subscriber, and soon the very concept of community largely dissolved.

A likely "better" internet isn't a world of several thousand descending on a single comment thread. It's a hundred at most aimed at the goal of useful interaction. The internet as it stands doesn't need more pan-continental megalopolises, it needs neighborhoods of people seeking common interaction.
Oh, I understood where you're coming from.

I do agree. There are circumstances where Arch's packaging is brain dead (they only recently, within the last 2 years or so, started validating packages against signatures!). I use it for a number of applications, and as my desktop OS among others. However, I'll freely admit at least part of my choice is perhaps the fault of masochistic tendencies. After all, I migrated to Arch from Gentoo, and I used Gentoo for years! :)

In all honesty, I've been bit more by the initrd and mkinitcpio's failings than the lack of a fallback kernel. That's mostly fixed with packaging hooks that essentially guarantee it will run, but it's still a problem with the ZFS packages and may require running it manually (which is annoying). However, that wasn't always the case, and sometimes the generated initrd would be missing something important. You can imagine what happened next.
It didn't understand castling, en passant and promotions. It would also only play white.

I did once try to pit it against a modern engine. It seemed to do reasonably well until the modern engine sneakily castled, and I was unable to tell 1k Chess about this, thus forcing it to forfeit the game.

Of course, since posting that, I since found this:

Chess for the PC; 392 bytes. You put it in your boot sector. Still no castling, en passant and promotions, though, although there's an 831 byte version which has those.
Yes, despite a lot of tech workers insistence of unique professional distinction, there is plenty of well worn ground for the exact kind of labor we provide being unionized.

Debugging a Docker Heisenbug in Production – Martin Loginov – Medium
You're going to find Hackers have a higher standard for truth.
We definitely could have. That said, to make it a "fair fight", where the cluster was trying as hard as possible to survive, we would have had to mess around with the amount of data stored on it. The current implementation works with a fixed amount of data, but we toyed with idea of starting with some large amount, which means nodes would take longer to replicate, and then decreasing it as we went, until roaches spawned so fast they overwhelmed you (but ultimately didn't implement it because of time constraints)
I would imagine it's valuable because it's not heterogeneous. It's the fact that you know precisely what you're going to get on it that makes it valuable.

He was talking about the price advertisers pay to their customers, not the cost advertisers pay to run their networks.
Sorry but i cannot let this silliness be repeated. The primary supplier of US imported oil is Canada. Canada alone nearly equals all OPEC suppliers of which some but not most are from the Middle East.

We already have a get out of the Middle East solution, more oil from Canada and pipelines to get it. Even oil from other parts of the US. Yet this is always opposed by the same side which also opposes Middle East adventurism, something that did not decrease at all in the last eight years but got even worse in some cases; bringing us into conflict with Russia over Syria.

People should not have to live in cities and be allowed to live where they want. That is a fundamental feature of governments which respect both personal and property rights. Considering the health of our cities, lead issues in many, higher crime and gang activity, and sheer expense in rents, why would we expect people to choose such?

No, the real issue here is simple. America needs to redirect the monies used to support a ten carrier fleet which can serve no purpose with regards to China or Russia. We do not need bases all over the world to the extent we have them. We certainly don't need to involved in the Middle East except at the request of nations there to defeat non nation based enemies.

Middle America and the suburban and country lifestyle isn't a threat or issue America has to correct. What needs to be corrected is a government that answers to political parties first and people somewhere down the list. We have too many Presidents of the Party in recent history, we still have far too many Congress people of the Party too.

Actual chips, not as far as I know.
There is a completely open source tool chain for a small FPGA, the icestorm project.

The VPR project by university of Toronto has several architechure models defined, but there is probably no way to turn these into a real chip.

FPGa vendors in general are extremely secretive about their designs.
