Oh, come now, just string up some rope bridges between them and hunker down on your platform when the weather gets choppy. You need to play some Zelda games or watch Waterworld to expand your imagination!
There is a large market for training simulators that are essentially very advanced virtual reality systems.
OP didn't say they agreed with it. In fact they implied that they did not agree.
I find your voice obnoxious and unthoughtful. Be silent.

See how that works? "Horrible," "thoughtful," "reasonable"--as defined by you. Might-makes-right and the-ends-justify-the-means. Astounding hubris and a stubborn refusal to learn from history. And an apparent inability to reason from abstract principles.

This is why national borders (and federalism within national borders) are good: compartmentalization prevents damage from spreading. Without bulkheads, flooding easily sinks the whole ship.

I've found the C++ Standard Library 2nd Edition to be an excellent companion to Stroustrup's Tour of C++. It does a good job of preventing you from reinventing wheels that others have already built for you.
Cutting expenses != making more more. If you want more money, you find jobs that are closer to the money. in tech that usually means working at a super well funded tech startup.

The complexity of social problems is outsmarting the human brain
Step 1: Stop switching topics. You're not learning if you're constantly switching focus.

Step 2: Depends entirely on the nature of what you're trying to learn. Spaced repetition is the canonical approach, which lends itself to some forms of knowledge far better than others. E.g., "learning philosophy" isn't suitable for SR.

Why You Need More Dirt in Your Life
Perhaps counterintuitively, I see/hear more interest in VR for business/productivity than for gaming, right now. I think it comes down to stimulation: we're used to gaming and other entertainment being high-octane, exciting experiences. But work/productivity is boring. VR, by virtue of its immersion and fantastical interactions, can bring more excitement to productivity uses (which are typically boring), while adding legitimate value (e.g., building better relationships with remote employees through business collaboration in VR).

Why is taking a vacation not a long-term solution? That is exactly what vacations are for... to give yourself a break, let yourself step away from your job, forget about it for a while, come back refreshed and pick it back up without being as burned out.

You only have a problem when that does not work. In that case, you need to ask yourself what is really bothering you about the job, and talk to your employer about fixing it. Often, open communications about what is wrong will work, problems can be fixed, and things will improve. And if not, maybe you do need a new job.

But finding a new job or taking a vacation is a common answer because it sometimes is the correct answer. I'm not saying it should be the first answer. But don't try so hard to avoid those answers that you make yourself miserable, either.
Somebody at YC likes "Ready Player One", which is a stupid book. (Essential skill for taking over a big company: ability to play a perfect game of PacMan.) "Snow Crash" was ahead of its time. Yet the plot of Snow Crash would play out the same if everybody simply had modern phones.

Where's the killer app for VR? VR headsets have been around for years. The current generation of technology works adequately. Yet other than first person shooters, there's not much to do in there. You can plug into Second Life or High Fidelity with a VR headset, but few people do. Using a VR headset to simulate a screen so you can watch a movie is more trouble than it's worth.
Good news. The UK needs to diversify away from financial services.

Immigrants in Europe accept cards in their shops, but then the EU limits the maximum charge to 5 cents for a debit card.

Well that's a big problem. Once you mechanize it, then there isn't even anyone to appeal to when you are subject to an unjust outcome. I wrote at length on this post above, but do we really want computers deciding who is or is not allowed to take their clothes off?

The Press release implies that what they have done is use their newly acquired low frequency spectrum to create a carrier signal that only those boxes can pick up on then the boxes rebroadcast at frequencies existing smartphones can interact with.

The lower frequencies will in theory have better range than the higher frequencies they use for typical LTE

I run the group at Red Hat responsible for OpenShift.io and our developer program. We really value the feedback and the comments on this thread. I admit, we could have done a much better job explaining the product on the site.

Based on everyone’s feedback, we redid the homepage last night. We hope this does a better job explaining the benefits and why you would want to try OpenShift.io. Please give it a look and let us know how we did.

I know there are a lot of people who want to give OSIO a try. We will be onboarding customers as soon as we can. We are putting in the finishing touches and ramping our capacity to meet the demand. We will be keeping everyone updated on our progress through email, twitter (@rhdevelopers) and our developer blog - https://developers.redhat.com/blog
doesn't cover enough to actually be productive

Well probably it would be sufficient to write simple programs. But maybe this guide is just too quick in that it just covers some basic syntax but leaves out a lot of goodies which actual programs use (no containers/algorithms at all, indeed no C++11 and beyond which is imo a shame for any recent C++ guide - there's not even any mentioning of it), doesn't adhere to current best practices (take 'double getVolume(void)': void argument has no place in C++ and should arguably be const, no error checking on stream methods) and seems too lack crucial information (no mention of heder files, no mention of how to get the samples compiled).

We used Miranda in my first year intro to CS course back in 2006. It was still used at my university up until last year. Others may disagree, but I feel that it's a fine language for teaching fundamental CS concepts like recursion/induction, formal reasoning about your programs, data types, etc.
Small nitpick, it's the Enteric Nervous System, and the numbers go something like this:

"The enteric nervous system in humans consists of some 500 million neurons[6] (including the various types of Dogiel cells),[1][7] one two-hundredth of the number of neurons in the brain, five times as many as the one hundred million neurons in the human spinal cord,[8] and about 2/3 as many as in the whole nervous system of a cat."[1]

I'm on board with this pet theory too. For example, we know that the micronutrient Chromium is required in the range of 50 - 200 micrograms per day, and that it is essential for sugar and fat metabolism and that most people ingest less than 60% of the minimum recommended (less than 50mcg) per day.[2]

It makes sense to me that the body would induce hunger in an effort to take in enough food to meet a micronutrient deficiency > that this mechanism is derailed by the SAD (Standard Affluent Diet) > a negative feedback loop is induced.

thx, I really appritiate your advice!
The basic summary of the situation so far (somewhat simplified) :

- Aaadhar is brought in as a national identification system, originally for benefit distribution

- The Supreme Court in a judgement on October 2015 notes that there is no legal framework for aadhar and restricts it to only 3 schemes. It notes that aadhaar cannot be made mandatory for any scheme

- The current government rushes the aadhaar act as a money bill (the constitutional validity of which is also being challenged) on 11 mar 2016

- Several government departments start issuing gazette notifications making aadhaar mandatory for various schemes (including benefits for AIDS patients, bhopal gas victims, college entrance examinations, birth certificates among others).

- The Finance Bill of 2016 passes several amendments to make linking your aadhaar mandatory with your PAN card. Historically, a PAN card was the entity on which you filed your taxes, and with this in place, you cannot file taxes as your PAN card becomes invalid if you don't link it.

The case being argued today is one that challenges the amendments making aadhaar mandatory. If you are interested in the court proceedings and the arguments laid by both sides, here is a long summary (today was day 5 of the proceedings): https://indconlawphil.wordpress.com/2017/05/03/the-constitut...
Outside of Tesla there are plenty of options in electric luxury cars. GM has a Cadillac relative of the Volt. BMW has several electric/hybrid-electric options.
Sure. And, since you can't appeal, you couldn't get later exonerated anyway. This ruling has nothing to do with that.
I learned how to program in the Rom Hacking scene and was involved with a team that released 4 patches for games.

The amount of dedication and hours our team put in was incredible. I think I managed around 30-40 hours with high-school.

Also, a lot of the reasons some games never made it stateside or came way late was often financial or political. The US versions of these companies often ran slightly independent from the Japanese game studios and the RPG adoption was not huge in the early console days here yet.
A conviction that is reversed is reversed only because it was not, in fact, legally valid at the time—that is the whole point of the appellate process—so whether or not Thomas' logic is any good, it starts from a false premise. And one which Thomas, having been an appellate judge for quite some time now, has no excuse for getting wrong.

Well, yes and no. The purchaser would certainly have a civil claim against him for breach of contract.

I'm not sure how Ali even got involved in this, other than a chance to fuck someone over who had little recourse.
No. They are the people saying I need to choose between them. Supporting either is not in my interest, they will not earn my vote by being slightly less abhorrent.
Weird that it is the drinking they regulate more, where usually injuries are done to your own person and not the driving where you are in charge of a serious amount of metal capable of injuring or killing others. 16 year olds make stupid decisions with or without alcohol.
In the UK this is known as a "standing order". The account holder is fully in control of how much money goes out and when. Is this not the case in other places?
Warning - rant ahead.

Aadhar is expensive, intrusive and ultimately futile for the stated objectives.
More than $1.5B have been spent on it with more being allocated every budget. For context Mangalyan's budget was $74M.
I haven't been able to find how much it has helped save. There is no cost/benefit analysis.

It was started as a way to ensure proper delivery of subsidised services to the poor, it has since enhanced its scope
to encompass all government services. One needs it for
1) getting a sim card,
2) filing tax returns
3) train journey(for seniors but won't be surprised if it soon becomes mandatory for everyone)
4) school admissions - really kids cannot be enrolled in school without Aadhar

with proposals to use the biometrics for
5) domestic air travel
6) biometric enabled POS
7) replace debit/credit cards

Somehow this will magically solve all our problems and make us a developed nation by virtue of
using a biometric enabled digital tracking service.

For a nation of bilion people, even a faboulous error rate of 0.01% will affect 10M people.
People responsible for it claim it is secure and hackproof. I am having a hard time trying to decipher if this is ignorance, incompetence or malice or all three mixed in.

The current goverment is drunk on power. Obvious comparisons with previous dictatorial regimes gets laughed at.
But the signs are there to see - rampant sycophancy to the PM, increased social intolerance, conflict escalation in/with Kashmir/Pakistan, arbitrary decisions like demonetization, moving the financial year to Jan-Dec.

For a supposedly non-corrupt government, the sly introduction of clause to remove cap on corporate donations
to political parties in the Finance bill is blatant hypocrisy to say the least.

For anyone who thinks demonetization was good, just review the government narrative on why it was needed.
First it was black money, then terrorist funding/fake notes, then digitization. The very people who lost their
businesses/livelihood due to demonetization support the PM and think it was good. When asked why, no idea. Ignorance is strength.

Almost all modern governments are guilty to some extent, but this government has totally embraced the INGSOC principles and has mastered the art of doublethink.
And the scary thing is, they have succeeded at it. People just dismiss the privacy and surveillance implications of Aadhar as hypothetical scenarios.

Anybody who criticizes the government is unpatriotic and a traitor.

Show HN: Voyager 1.5.3 supports ingress to specific pods behind K8s StatefulSet
Banning suicide is as effective as declaring pi as 3 via legislative fiat. At least in my mind.

For one, it is hard to enforce; those who choose to end their own lives may not show any signs until the attempt. If they succeed, they cannot be punished. If they fail, what is a "just" punishment? How do you effectively punish someone who wants to die so that after their punishment, they want to live?

I guess, philosophically, we do have absolute control of our bodies in practice. Making laws that defy the reality of what humans are is a path to tyranny. If people dont have absolute rights, does the state? There is talk of balancing individual rights against the state, which shallowly encouraging, but to me any system where the individual is not free to not make choices about their body will always be able to justify actions that trade more rights for "security".
It's much better to do this earlier. If you're asking v8 to optimise, say, the whole of React on a mobile device before first paint, that's definitely going to be slower than having the same optimisations done before V8 needs to parse/optimise it!
Frankly I only downvoted because of the unfounded accusations of Facebook shilling. There's a certain level of pretentiousness in thinking one's comments could only ever be downvoted because somebody was literally paid to do it. And that attitude rubs me the wrong way.

To bring it back to the discussion itself, I'm also a huge fan of web technologies, so I'm always glad to see further optimizations being made.

I'm hesitant to use it now as it's still so early, but would like to see it mature so it can be included as a step in our gulp/grunt build processes.

My understanding is that, absent an explicit supporting legal structure, it would default to being treated as a general partnership. Which means that partners in the DAO would be liable for its activities, and could be held responsible in whatever jurisdiction they happen to reside. Thus, instead of having no jurisdiction, it could be answerable to up to as many jurisdictions as it has members.
What's bewildering to me is that you don't sound bewildered: you sound offended. You sound like something is at stake for you in his behaviour. Which is fine, it's ok to admit that. I am personally offended by your post, for example. Your standard of "professionalism" seems too high, and in any case, as someone who believes our society is based on the exploitation of workers, I think "professionalism" is a corrupt standard in any case, and to call his position "shameless and unethical" is the height of misplaced self-righteousness.

It is not a mechanism to address a communal goal of increased security of our society. It is a recognition of individual right to defend themselves.

Solution to all problems? We do understand that it is not a solution to all problems, already.
Randomly. They'll just be the content janitors, and I doubt they will be subjected to anything more than the most rudimentary ethical screening or training.

I won't be a bit surprised if there's a systematic effort to encourage applications from within socially conservative entities such as religious groups, and going to be carefully monitoring their corner of the web for such.

If someone answered no to the other question, that would mean: "No. I do not regret taking investment." If they said yes, it would mean: "Yes, I regret taking investment."

If somebody answered no to this question, that would mean: "No, I do not regret not taking investment." If they say yes, it means: "Yes, I regret not taking investment."

I'm having trouble understanding how it's the same question. Yes, the first answer to the other question was someone saying that they regret not taking investment. That didn't actually answer that question. It was really an affirmative to this question, which was partially my motivation for starting another thread, along with just comparing responses and covering all bases.
You're asking rhetorical questions. Instead, just think it through and you'll get it. Chain letters can explode, if written in a certain way.

Purchase and consume in all but a very narrow set of circumstances, the same (or similar) ones that apply most places, i.e in the home, with your parents.
I try not to read too much into why I got a downvote anymore. Maybe it's because people disagree with Thomas' opinion. Maybe it's because they think I read it poorly or said something technically incorrect (which is likely). For all I know, they saw an earlier comment of mine, disagreed, but couldn't downvote it and came and downvoted my most recent comment instead. Who knows, it happens. People on the Internet are baffling.

By the same token it's not unreasonable to assume if the drinking age were 18, the 21-24 group would see fewer alcohol-involved fatal crashes. What makes the most sense to me would be to lower the drinking age to 16 or so and raise the driving age to 18.
In my dreams, some combination of closed hardware and/or software (perhaps the latest Intel AMT vulnerability?) leads to the personal information of all congressmen to be leaked--financial, medical, residential, etc. They respond with a "Secure Computing Act" that requires that the all US agencies, as well as any companies they do business with, to use 100% open-source hardware and software.

Something I wondered from this, was about the salvage master Sylvia Tervoort:

How the heck does one become a "salvage master"?

I guess it has more to do with the fact that there are a ton of jobs out there that are mostly "unknown" by ordinary people. Maybe it also has to do with location (ie, you're more likely to know about the idea of being a "salvage master" if you live near any place that has such companies as employers).

At the same time I wondered "did she wake up one day and decide to become a salvage master?" - and how do you go about doing that?

There are many jobs like this, all with somewhat obscure titles; some you can see how someone might fall into this line of work (ie - working up the ranks, or horizontal transition from another area, etc) - but others seem like they'd require such a strange set of disparate skills (as is alluded to in the article) that you have to wonder just how one lands that kind of work?

It's not for me (though the idea of world hopping to supervise and assess ships for salvage does have a certain "romantic" appeal - but I know that's a false idea) - but obviously it is for others. How they get such a position, though, is the question in my head...
In technical terms it's a femtocell, yes. But if they're handing out femtocells that themselves connect over the cellular network that users can just dump on a windowsill to improve their signal with no configuration, that's somewhat interesting, and different than how carriers have been deploying femtocells until now.
> Yeah, but he has a history of dumb contrarian lone dissents that throw some poor citizen under the bus.

That's because he interprets the Constitution and the law according to what he believes them to mean, not according to what he wishes they would mean.

In this case, he clearly states that he sees no constitutional requirement for the State to return property after it has been confiscated post-conviction (as an aside, the article title is misleading: this wasn't confiscation prior to or absent a conviction). The Constitution does not mandate all good things, nor does it forbid all bad things.
That's the first time I hear about nuclear weapons in this context - I was always under impression that this was about chemical weapons, which they found a lot of evidence of after the invasion.
