That's actually why Calexit would happen and military force wouldn't.

A military occupation shuts down all sectors immediately and they absolutely will not come back up for years. Look at what the Taiwan quake did in semiconductors. Now scale that up.

An orderly exit allows the rest of the country to continue buying California products.
Maybe it's difficult to be really creative without being intelligent -- Einstein being a good example of someone who was extremely intelligent and extremely creative.

However, it's very easy to be immensely intelligent and have zero creativity, indeed to be conformist to an absurd degree. Elite bureaucrats are exactly like this, at least in many European countries.

Is it possible to be very creative and dim-witted? I'd be very tempted to say yes but I have to admit I can't provide lots of examples.
Cleaning up after a prostitute's night of work is not the bread and butter of working in a hotel, and I'm sure that you would see staff and owners complaining about it if you talked to them.
Is there a screenshot somewhere to see how it looks like our am I missing something?
If the owner envisioned a family coming to stay, perhaps from out of town for a holiday etc, but then instead realized on return that it has been used by a prostitute and a series of men had walked in repeatedly to have sex on the bed one after each other and with each one everyone cleaning themselves up in the bathrooms I can understand how it would feel like a violation. That said, this can always happen and you can't control what someone does once they have your apartment so he's only got himself to blame really, I would not rent out my apartment because I can't deal with knowing someone was in there even taking a simple shower but I understand that about myself and don't care about any income I'm missing out on having it be empty when I'm away.
I see no different behaviour from what can happen on an hotel... and I don't see hotels complaining...
According to the article in UK it's legal to offer sex for money, as long as you're the only person doing it in a particular location (because otherwise the location is a brothel and operating a brothel is a criminal offense). In light of this that statement makes much more sense.

> Would the reaction here be any different if an actual couple left the host with a pile of condoms? If yes,why? If no, why?

There's a mild difference in that a couple means the risk of infected material is lower.

In England you can't give blood if you've ever received money for sex, and you must wait for at least 12 months if you've paid for sex.

These restrictions exist because there is a higher risk of infection.

I believe the problem is they earned £5000 while only paying £85 to the owner. A riot.
Calling the US a country may make sense, but I increasingly don't feel it's a nation. I feel more foreign in Missouri than in Ireland. I feel no more kinship or commonality with people from the US than from liberal western democracies (Canada, most of Europe, etc).

Also, California is arguably occupied. It is ruled by a federal government that lost an election by any reasonable measure. It lacks the right to secede due to a federal constitution which violates the generally acknowledged right of peoples to self-determination. Do you think three quarters of the states would ever vote to let the Californian cash cow secede? They milk it for all it's worth, all while complaining that California doesn't know what we're doing.

http://www.economist.com/blogs/dailychart/2011/08/americas-f...

I left, but the first thirty years of my life were in California and it's a great place. It could be a lot greater without being yoked to an oppressive system that minimizes its vote, steals its cash, and actively opposes its aims in fields ranging from the environment, to immigration, to education, among others. We should stop pretending the US is united by anything more than coercion by the small states over the large. Would an independent California freely choose to join the US today? If not, perhaps we should reconsider whether this relationship is healthy. Perhaps other states should as well.
>If more than one person is available in a premises for paid sex, then that is a brothel - however, if a sex worker works alone, they are not keeping a brothel

The law in the UK discourages prostitutes from having anyone else nearby when they are with their clients. This makes them less safe.
And illegal prostitution creates more danger for prostitutes since they can't rely on normal mechanisms for crime prevention.
I know some people's online comments are pretty toxic, but I'm struggling to think of a scenario whereby a Twitter stream or Facebook timeline could be used to make a 'dirty bomb' --and I'm not having much luck.

> For Special Operations use, it'd be nifty to have this technology digitally composited in real-time with MWIR imaging on the same wearable device. Base layer could be image intensification with this tech, then overlay any pixels from the MWIR layer above n temperature, and blend it at ~33% opacity. Enough to give an enemy a nice warm glow while still being able to see the expression on their face.

I believe this is what CAT did with their S60 phone camera - fusing together the image of the thermal sensor and the camera to have a high-resolution thermal image even without an expensive-as-hell sensor.
Did you actually give VSCode a try before making such statements? I use both (neo)vim and VSCode (with vim key bindings, sacrilege!) daily. Vim starts up faster (vim is instantly vs about 1 second for VSCode), but once you're in the editor it depends what you do in it. For instance the standard python syntax highlighter in vim is much slower in vim for files with a few hundred to a few thousand lines of code compared to VSCode. Setting up a C++ dev environment and debugger via vim plugins is hit and miss, in VSCode it's just a few seconds to install the extension, and step-debugging is snappier then in 'native tools' (e.g. Xcode).

TL;DR: it's not Electron or Javascript which makes editors slow, it's how the code is written.
Basically, pomodoro for kids.
> I am a native speaker of English, and if you hand me a book written in German, I can sound it out (to some extent), but without knowing what it means.

That works well because English and German are very similar. If China moved from characters to Pinyin, someone who doesn't know Chinese could sound it out, but it would be mostly unintelligible (wrong initials, no tones).
Maybe yeah. It would rightly depend on how correctly and securely she disposes of her waste. Why are you trying to finagle a woman's analogous example as if that'll shame me into changing my mind...these prostitutes were women.
> what's the father of cognitive science and modern linguistics know about anything?

If he hasn't observed at least a dozen such children trying to learn language for a dozen years then he doesn't even know what are the things he doesn't know.

And guess what, I watched your video and even Chomsky admits that he only heard about few cases of feral children of which the one he talked about in detail means little because the girl was severely mistreated by parents in addition to growing up in isolation. And then he talked some more about other people inventing their own languages, but not living in complete social isolation.
What I don't get is why they just arent using a stripped down version of Visual Studio for this. But maybe VSC is more like a test product for Microsoft to see how development in Javascript works out.
Thanks! Just watched your link now. The camera is so sensitive that it matters whether the starlight is "overcast" or not. Which I found amusing.

I like the production values of that video. The (appropriately, for this product) triumphant music. The long blank-face titles with abstract technical terms, concrete locations and hard-boiled scene descriptions: "Human in desert". Then cut to some shot of guy walking away from the camera in the desert alone under starlight. In full color. Sort of new wave cinema.

Not at all suggesting any fakery with this next comment but I am wondering how the humans in the videos didn't trip over bushes and things. Maybe they edited that stuff out, or their natural night vision was warmed up.
>With React and React Native, your web app can share most its logic with your iOS and Android apps, but the view layer needs to be implemented separately for each platform.

As far as I understand, you don't need to do this in react-native. Only when you want to use some special features. Or am I missing something?
"... he even says that if they hadn't made a mess he wouldn't have known what had happened, and would have probably accepted a repeat booking."

Seems odd that they wouldn't have made an effort to clean-up since having a good profile is more or less essential to being able to rent another airbnb appt?
Cleaning up rather horrible messes of things people would rather not touch is, in fact, normal, albeit not the norm (i.e. it happens on a regular enough basis that it's not anything special, but most rooms are relatively ok).
> they left used condoms, tissues, and empty bottles of wine all over the apartment

No. From the article:

> I found used condom wrappers under the bed, I found the bin was overflowing with tissues and condoms.

Not sure what "overflowing" means exactly in this context, but you can't read in the article that there were used condoms all over the apartment.

A condom wrapper is just a piece of clean plastic, very different from a used condom.

Also, what's the difference when people are having sex in your bed, whether they're married, friends, or engaged in pay-for-sex?

It was talking about a political party, not the government. Political parties are set up to serve the interest of groups. For example, Republicans could be for defending the right of individuals to practice their religion in peace. For the unemployed to want to create more jobs so that they can live their lives with dignity. For people to keep their families safe through having a strong military etc.
Show HN: Simple project planning / task organiser
Hi,

This isn't quite finished but I wanted to see if I could get some early feedback?

The idea is a simple task organiser with a timer and a way to estimate how long a project will take.

Do you think this would bhave useful? I'm thinking more single developer or maker:

Thanks!
Personally I think that trotting out this argument in every single post about VSCode/Atom/Electron/etc. serves absolutely no good purpose at this point (other than upvotes or the pleasure of expressing an opinion, perhaps), but I'm happy to be corrected.

That said, I'm also still using Sublime Text / vim primarily because they do feel faster on startup and handle big files well.

But I think rationally it would make sense for me to move to VSCode, because 1) my code editor is almost always open, and 2) I rarely need to edit really large files, and 3) VSCode is plenty fast for pretty much all other use cases and offers a whole bunch of advantages over ST.

Atom I'm less sure of. It seems to get faster every few months that I give it a spin, but it still feels 'laggier' even in normal use, which is definitely a problem for me.
If you expressing your opinions anyway do it in louder way.
But keep in mind you can get in trouble anyway, there is a few stories about programers who got fired coz of SJW rage. Even CEO of Mozilla got fired. Jslint guy got disinvited from events for comparing strong maps to men.

But if your opinions strong, do it under pseudonym, you can get a reputation for a fake name, not a problem. There is bunch of anonymous YouTubers with millions views and nobody knows their name or seen their face
Oh yeah of course, but I'm sure hotel owners and staff don't just tut and laugh and go "the prostitutes again haha", and don't particularly enjoy cleaning up after people who've used your facilities to make a lot of money illegally. As in...they'd turn down the custom if they could.
Yea it turns out my bookmarks are a graveyard for things I'll never read. The Android HN app I use let's me Mark articles as read later and most the time it works offline so I tend to use that more. When I find myself on a plane with no reception I dip into my list of offline HN articles.
Visual Studio's codebase is 20 years old, and it wasn't built with cross-platform support in mind. It uses WPF as the UI toolkit, which is only supported on Windows. Stripping it down would most likely take an order of magnitude more work than just writing a new editor from scratch.

"TL;DR: it's not Electron or Javascript which makes editors slow, it's how the code is written."

It would not have been humanly possible to get something like Spotify (we have lists of text and icon-sized images) so resource intensive in any other language.

Now if you want to spend ten (hundred?) times the effort to actually make javascript do something decent I truly hope you get pleasure from that sadistic adventure.
I don't understand your argument at all.

If you rent your house to strangers then you're obviously okay with those people having sex at your place, in your bed, anywhere really where they fancy it.

What's different if it's prostitution or if it isn't??

(Personally I would really prefer not having anyone I don't know engaging in any normal activity in my home, and that's why I will probably never be an Airbnb host; but if you are then surely you have to accept the consequences?)
That assumes that it is possible to strip down Visual Studio without refactoring to an extent that disturbs the development of the main product and causes more work than just developing VS Code from scratch - and that Visual Studio is portable to other platforms.
I doubt anytime soon (at least as part of current SAT solvers). A big barrier to applying ML to the process of SAT solving is that a lot of times, it's just faster to do a search with a simple heuristic for variable selection than try a much more time consuming ML method (and neural networks will be quite time consuming relative to the kinds of heuristics usually used) to do variable selection better.

Quantum is a special case really as DFT computation is already very time consuming.

Yep. When I'm doing a somewhat specialized research I bookmark interesting results and add a tag for future reference. Usually the time after which they are forgotten is ~1 week, because they either served their purpose or became irrelevant, but sometimes I still use some of them.
Sure, but if you have facilities open to the public you're going to get... the public. It's hardly just prostitutes that leave rooms in a state, after all. It's something you plan for, and you don't get to whine about having failed to plan for it.
This, in part, is what the consultancy that wrote this post is attempting to push. If both startups and established businesses want to expand into this sector, but are not sure how to go about it, this consultancy can assist.
Surely that's more a lack of proper regulations and enforcement. Things designed to keep safety and standards instead of punishment and determent.

Elaborating: If there is sufficient /convenient/, legal, not over-priced, service for the clients that clearly do exist then underground (criminal) fulfillment is much less profitable. Making onerous (for no good reason) regulations are one form of increasing the price of legal services and thus making it more profitable for unwanted fulfillment to occur.
There is much discussion here regarding quantum efficiency (QE). Keep in mind that figures for sensors are generally _peak_ QE for a given colour filter array element. These can be quite high like 60-70%.

But - this is an 'area under the graph' issue. While it may peak at 60%, it can also fall off quickly and be much less efficient as the wavelength moves away from the peak for say red/green/blue.

From what I can tell from the tacky promo videos, the sensor is very sensitive for each colour over a wide range of wavelengths, probably from ultraviolet right up to 1200nm. That's a lot more photons being measured in any case, but especially at night.

Their use of the word 'broadband' sums it up. It's more sensitive over a much larger range of frequencies.

I also wouldn't be surprised if they are using a colour filter array with not only R/G/B but perhaps R/G/B/none or even R/IR/G/B/none. The no filter bit bringing in the high broadband sensitivity with the other pixels providing colour - don't need nearly as many of those.

Edit - one remarkable thing for me is based on the rough size of the sensor and the depth of field in the videos, this isn't using a lens much more than about f/2.4. You'd think it would be f/1.4 or thereabouts to get way more light but there is far too much DoF for that.
I'm not sure if this came from the TypeScript team or if it was just a HN commenter, but I remember reading (a theory) that VSCode is, at least to a degree, meant to eventually become a clean rewrite for Visual Studio, or at least reach some degree of feature parity, and that this is why so much energy is put into this (which strikes me as noteworthy, the amount of energy that is).

I'm not experienced with projects as large as this, but I could see how the work they're doing on VSCode would be worthwhile even if they eventually swap the web-based parts with more performant approaches (as the project expands to 'become' VS).

Sex work is legal/decriminalised in Sydney. If you come from a country where it is illegal, you might be surprised how open it is around here. And right next to family friendly establishments, residential areas.

It's pretty safe actually. Or at least no more dangerous than other parts of Sydney. I've never heard of any crimes or violence related to sex workers in Sydney. I'm more worried about alcohol and drug related violence. If there are any unsavoury characters about they are much more likely to be at a night club. Ban night clubs (they kind of did that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sydney_lockout_laws and it worked).

I had a friend who worked the front-desk of several hotels during university in Canberra. He gave the impression that he was not only aware of the prostitutes, but was on pretty good terms with the regular ones.

Albeit, granted I'm sure the regulars weren't generally in the practice of wrecking the rooms... but cleaning up after the horrible things people do in their rooms is pretty stock standard for the hotel industry...

No one "likes" it, but no one likes cleaning toilets either, and that still needs getting done and people do it and its stock/standard of being a cleaner...

And if you're not hiring a cleaner to clean your rooms and doing it yourself, you can bet 100% you'll be cleaning up some pretty horrible stuff in the accommodation industry. If they leave the room in a bad state, that just makes them bad customers...

I don't know, writing extensions for VSCode in Typescript is actually quite pleasant. Sure it would be better to have a super-performant, super-small, cross-platform runtime environment. But what would that be? Qt? Java? .NET? Or another roll-your-own UI kit?

Owning a "brothel" is also a criminal offence, which I believe is part of the reason the owner was upset.
