Ok, them if someone probes your value is negative, because for example you have an average job but also you are sick and the cost to keep you alive are high. Them we should get rid of you. Because economically you are not viable.

You cannot make decision based on your economic value. Should we destroy an animal race just because we think their economic value is low? What about the side effects we don't know? what about everybody has the same rights? what about fucking up the environment in some countries because they are poor? What about the poor child that wont have access to proper education? We just don't care because their economic value is low?
"Simple" explanation is this:

- May isn't going to lose to Corbyn

- May has a slim majority, meaning she has to negotiate with people within the Conservative Party who might not agree with her on the Brexit terms.

- She'll likely get a larger majority, so it makes it easier to deal with the rebels.

- For Corbyn, it's interesting. He might be facing another leadership challenge if polls keep looking crap.

- He wants to have an actual attempt at a GE, where he can make his case to the public.

- He won the leadership challenge last year, so he knows his fans are at least loyal for now.

- Why does Corbyn's opinion matter? Well back when Cameron did a deal with Clegg, they did a fixed terms act, meaning elections had to happen every 5 years. This one is within 5 years of the previous, so you actually need a two-thirds majority in Parliament to trigger it.
The whole managed object context paradigm is clunky. It's meant to be a system of nestable sandboxes for performing discardable operations on the database, but when you start to mix concurrency inside, it becomes intractable.

Reading the documentation on concurrency and managedobject context would make any people's eyes go blank (https://developer.apple.com/reference/coredata/nsmanagedobje...).

IMHO, i don't think that 80% of the people using core data understand the concept of managed object context properly. For example, i'm pretty sure everyone wonders what's going on when they try to reuse an object from a context in another and get weird behaviors.

My main point isn't that one should recode a database manually, but that it's extremely rare to need that kind of system in a mobile app in the first place.

Also i think that performing a set of sql query in an sqlite database is much much simpler than creating a correct process for a core data model migration.
Ask HN: How do you avoid local peak times when booking a holiday?
Hi HN,
When you book a holiday, how do you check if your holiday time does not interfere with local events that may cause peak times examples like all restaurants are full, long queues everywhere? Or sometimes local events that results in all shops closed (like religious holidays)?

Pretty much, Corbyn has gathered a lot of grass roots support but will fail to appeal to the wider electorate. I suspect there is a good chance that Labour in the rest of the UK will implode after this election in the same way that it has collapsed in Scotland (although I'm not clear who voters would transfer their loyalties to as they have here in Scotland where the SNP now dominates).

No - but communicating to the public that the reason you are calling an election is to silence the opposition parties and other bodies holding you to account (and espousing the view that the opposition should effectively shut up and put up) definitely registers high on my dark and scary times scale

It's ActiveX, but completely secure and open source. Sounds like a good idea.

Regardless, it's pretty much already been killed. Too bad it's taken 8 years for a web standard (WebAssembly) to match it.
The Wrong Sacrifice
A lot of that grass roots support is young & as a result has much less weight for voting, unfortunately.
Granted, I don't yet know the scope of the project precisely (ie. how detailed and how much information was collected), but if it's as big as I think it is, Steve Ballmer has instantly become one of my favorite people currently inhabiting this planet.

Dick Costolo's company FeedBurner (which was acquired by Google) seems to have been pretty heavy on the API side (based on the Wikipedia article).
So it's a bit quick to label it as a media and advertising company and to portray Costolo as not understanding the potential of APIs and developer ecosystems.

People love to point finger at individuals but maybe the real underlying problem is that users just don't care about Twitter enough in a world where Facebook exists.

I'd argue that the Android tooling shows us exactly the kind of software people who can answer algorithm problems on a whiteboard for 6 hours are capable of making. (Note: IntelliJ IDEA is quite well-made; I'm speaking only of the Android-specific tooling.)

If I could tell Google's Android staff anything, it would be this: software is more than just a list of features . It's a loop connecting mind and machine that must iterate until a viable application is produced. Producing a binary artifact capable of hydrating a process that can respond to N events and trigger M side-effects should only take NxM steps to learn, but Android has always felt way over-architected to me (which might just be poor documentation that wildly vacillates between being literal+concrete and manic architectural language).

Maybe the worst thing they have is a working list of features. You can build Android apps with what they give you, and quickly if you practice. But "good enough" has always been the enemy of "pleasant" (let alone "elegant"), and that makes me sad.
Analyzing third party libraries
True, but if the LibDems can pull enough Blairites away from Corbyn and urban Tories away from May it will give the LibDems a core that they can move forward with. (I don't think they have a hope in hell of actually even getting enough MPs to play kingmakers, but they may be aiming to simply supplant Labour as the opposition party...)

The Labour Party establishment have tried to dethrone Corbyn before and failed.

He's an odd case. He commands a lot of influence among Labour members and to some extent the unions (who have significant ties to and influence on the Labour Party here). This makes him more-or-less untouchable as party leader.

However, he's loathed by most of the party's current MPs, who are politicians and know he's going to be a liability at election time. And he's not particularly popular among the general public outside the traditional Labour voters, which is why he's going to be a liability.

The irony of the snap election, if it does happen, is that it will be an opportunity for Corbyn to clear out the disloyal backstabbers in the Commons and replace them with more traditional Labour MPs, which is probably why he seems to have said previously that he'd support calls for a snap election. On the other hand, he would probably lose so many MPs altogether that his party would become almost irrelevant in the next Parliament, much as the Lib Dems did last time.

A somewhat ironic but apparently quite plausible outcome to all the political manoeuvres is that Corbyn says Labour will support the snap election, almost all of his MPs openly rebel, the election consequently doesn't achieve the 2/3 support needed in the Commons and so doesn't happen, May is weakened and probably steps down as a result, and Corbyn is also so weakened that he finally goes, thus making the two party leaders who were playing the political games the major victims of those games.

We live in interesting times, literally and perhaps euphemistically as well.

[Edit: Added a missing bit. Thanks, gpvos.]
Labour have already announced they will support it.
Especially when the mandate for Hard Brexit is so weak.
Vote Lib Dem. Seriously.

There is zero chance of that happening before the election, yes.

The only major pro-EU voice in parliament now (discounting regional parties) is Lib Dems.
As the son of an excellent surgeon (and that assessment seems to be more than a son's pride), I think there's another paramount quality that should be mentioned: empathy.

I think that this is truly what made my father be not just "technically good", but a physician who could solve his patients' problems: he made an effort to understand their perspective, and adjust his treatment accordingly.

I've observed him interact with patients sometimes, and his effort at creating empathy was quite noticeable. It's particularly fascinating to watch with children.

I agree with you though that efficiency, and also just honing one's internal sense of what's going on inside a patient's body is important. My dad was department head at a first-world hospital. But every year he would go on a charity mission to some third-world place for two weeks and treat patients there. With essentially no modern technology (in fact, operations might have to performed in the shine of a flashlight), you are really forced to work with your instincts. I think these trips benefited his first-world patients just as much as his third-world ones.
> completely secure

Yeah, there has never been a case of software breaking out of a sandbox or VM.

Fact is it allows running native x86 code downloaded from the internet, it's orders of magnitude more dangerous than e.g. Javascript running inside a sandboxed runtime.
Great! One alternative way to reason about these rules is to recognize that these statements can be modeled as propositional formulas, which can be easily solved with Prolog by using a constraint solver over Boolean variables. For example, in SICStus Prolog, such a constraint solver is available as a library:

https://sicstus.sics.se/sicstus/docs/4.3.1/html/sicstus/CLPB...

This of course requires a slightly different way to encode the task, using logical variables:

?- sat(School*Study*Exercise),
sat(Exercise =< Healthy),
sat(Study + Sick),
sat(~Rain),
sat(Study * ( Gym + Coffee)),
sat(Rain + (Exercise * Study)),
sat(Healthy =< (Happy + Fit)).

As an answer, we get:

School = Study, Study = Exercise, Exercise = Healthy, Healthy = 1,
Rain = 0,
sat(Sick=:=Sick),
sat(Gym=\=Gym*Coffee#Coffee),
sat(Happy=\=Happy*Fit#Fit).

Since CLP(B) is complete, these are all the consequences that can be derived from the initial knowledge. Note that for example `Gym = 1` is consistent with the initial assumptions, it just doesn't follow from them.

To obtain ground solutions, you can use labeling/1 on the remaining free variables, showing all possible ways in which truth values can be assigned to them.
Some people criticize May whatever she does. If she calls election, because she wants to destroy opposition or because the election will cause more political instability, and if she doesn't, because she is afraid of democracy or something.

Honestly, this makes no sense at all.

Apple is the nail in the coffin. The coffin was ordered by M$.

But the battle, and the war, was lost long before Apple became the behemonth it is now. Apple did nothing to kill OS, it arrived when it was dead.

As for Google, they actually played a positive role back then. Whatever they do now, does not matter anymore. The window of oportunity closed long ago, and it was M$ who did it.
Jeremy Corbyn (current leader of the labour party) released a very interesting 'digital democracy manifesto' during his leadership campaign, though it isn't officially labour party policy (and probably will never be).

She is really counting on there not being enough time for the opposition to turn this into another vote on Brexit or a vote on Scotland or a vote on the NHS or a vote on all of the above. We live in interesting times.

I met some guys from a Spanish software coop called Igalia and as I understood it they have a kind of apprenticeship/ probation period after which you get voted on as a partner - or in some cases NOT.

It was quite a long process but I got the impression that people knew after a reasonable time if things were going in the right direction.
"almost all of his MPs openly rebel"

No wonder - I suspect a lot of them will be out of a job soon.
I think the UK will be fine, post Brexit, as the UK is a very important trading partner for The Netherlands, Denmark & Ireland.

Theresa May, 6 months ago:

Yeah they did, in my eyes they did a great job stopping Tories doing too much damage. I'm also one who was affected by their tuition u-turn also but I decided to get over it.
still an annoying aspect of Google Earth -

I can see a long range of mountains from my 2nd floor windows. I want to drop down to approximately the same position and elevation (from my 2nd floor window) and take in the same view on Google Earth. The intent is to identify mountain peaks that I can not determine in real life.

Google earth limits the angle one can tilt while the POV is close to the ground.
Sure, but many who voted never expected them to actually win and saw it as a protest vote. A lot of people claimed they regretted voting brexit after it became clear the brexit camp actually won. Now brexit has been initiated and it's becoming clear what the consequences are many more people are getting cold feet.

> Machine learning is AI

I disagree. Machine Learning is just super-charged linear regression.

If you build a ML system that autonomously chooses it factors, and automatically adjusts to model drift (by either adjusting existing coefficients (easy) or adding/removing factors (hard), then ML drifts into AI.

To be fair, she wouldn't be the first PM in recent history to call a vote they were sure they'd win and live to regret it.

The real danger for her is presumably that MPs don't give her the mandate to hold the election at all, which would potentially mean we get yet another new and unelected PM.
who's "we"? I'd be pretty happy about an election legitimising May's leadership. If labour wants to become more competitive they should stop nominating far-left leaders.
It would be interesting if people are already starting to gather as much data about themselves that will relevant in few years when similar tech is widely available. For example, taking a photo of each of your meals might prove to be good investment of your time down the line.

I daresay that it's them who are making the party a liability. They've made the Labour Party seem completely ridiculous - and that's not Corbyn's fault.

It makes some amount of sense because there's less to maintain and more cultural knowledge of the new codebase. Instead of saying "We're removing features from Picasa because nobody here knows how they work and everyone's scared to change things", they can say "We have a shiny new project here that will eventually be better than Picasa". It's a nice PR stunt.
