I suppose one could see it as a devotion of sorts:

"While he was in Bethany, reclining at the table in the home of Simon the Leper, a woman came with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, made of pure nard. She broke the jar and poured the perfume on his head. Some of those present were saying indignantly to one another, “Why this waste of perfume? It could have been sold for more than a year’s wages and the money given to the poor.” And they rebuked her harshly. “Leave her alone,” said Jesus. “Why are you bothering her? She has done a beautiful thing to me. The poor you will always have with you, and you can help them any time you want. But you will not always have me. She did what she could. She poured perfume on my body beforehand to prepare for my burial. Truly I tell you, wherever the gospel is preached throughout the world, what she has done will also be told, in memory of her.”"

...And we're now talking about Jesus on site where he is not normally discussed. As a method of spreading the gospel, you could certainly think of less effective methods.

I don't consider the combination of the C runtime + the machine model straightforward - just less arcane than C++. Consider pipelines and branch prediction and cache lines and it quickly becomes difficult. Granted, those typically become relevant later in the optimization stage than other things.

When I was in sixth grade I entered a science contest to invent a new form of clean energy. Mostly I entered because I was getting a B in my science class and needed extra credit to get up to an A.

And the thing I "invented" was literally what's in this article, geothermal power. Pump water down near magma, have it turned to steam, have that steam come rushing back up to power turbines.

The problem with my invention was that the company sponsoring the contest was a geothermal energy company.

I'm still proud of myself though, because I thought of the idea independently and it is a pretty damn cool idea for how to get energy.

I've developed my own curriculum over the past 6 years or so of teaching using it. I have a series of assignments I created to get them to build simple games and music videos, leaving a maximum of latitude for individual creativity around the content, while requiring use of specific programming concepts.

I also teach how to edit music and images for importing to Scratch, including transparency and layering. Honestly I think that is some of the more broadly useful stuff in my class -- so many of these kids have no idea how to crop and resize a photo or cut out a portion and make a transparent background. We also cover US Fair Use and intellectual property laws.

I only get each class for about a dozen 55 minute classes per year which really makes me streamline my approach for a minimum of lecture and maximum hands-on time, which can be a challenge, but on the other hand I get 100% of the student body passing through my course, so I get the chance to teach all learners, those with desire and aptitude and those who come in saying "I'm no good at technology" and leave with a sense of pride in what they've achieved.
"The naïve Ethereum people think they've cleverly sidestepped this with the notion of "gas" but actually all they're doing is cheating with this messy kludge: because simply saying "we'll arbitrarily make the program stop running at some point" does not make "smart contracts" written in Ethereum "decidable" - as we've seen, these contracts can still blow up / go wrong in other ways before they run out of gas."

When giving blood, you could be experiencing vasovagal syncope -- fainting due to the drop in blood pressure and / or blood sugar. That's why they always hand out high-sugar juices -- hydration and sugar help reduce those effects. There are also sometimes symptoms before passing out. Here's a good article about it:

http://www.livestrong.com/article/166968-why-do-people-pass-...

However, that doesn't answer cuts. Does it happen on any sight of blood or only your blood?

I know a bit about this due to having researched after I gave blood the first time. Ends up the person was not very experienced and ended up drawing from muscle instead of a blood vessel. I was in for probably about 20 minutes with only half a bag before they gave up and sent me on my way. Walking from the parking lot to the office, I got lightheaded, nauseated, cold sweats, some gastrointestinal effects... But did not pass out. In my case, I think it's blood sugar related, as I had a similar reaction once while fasting.

True, but aren't there plenty of such regions around the world? In the US I can think of at least Hawaii and Yellowstone.

Not the greatest population centers, but power lines have a good range. Also, Iceland is making good use of its comparative advantage by doing power intensive production like aluminum smelting and bitcoin mining.
So far I see only the opposite. Inability to be flexible about multiple versions adds a lot of unnecessary complexity.

Of course the intent is to avoid them. Why should that by itself be illegal? If they want to review your business they can do an official inspection. Interfering with an investigation, as long as you don't have an order not to do so (i.e. to preserve evidence or something) should be your freedom.

Now the part that Uber is hiding up someone elses wrongdoing makes a bit more sense, but still seems to be the same kind of thing. If investigators wanted to know, they should have gotten an order against Uber and audited their records.

After all, I encrypt communications. Sometimes with the explicit intent of making sure LE can't see what I've written. Should encryption be interfering? All the people suggesting we wipe devices before crossing a border, is that not the same?

"The Windows Surface Laptop is no threat to Apple because it doesn't run macOS. "

Author didn't say that, he said MacOS was a unique product which made it a monopoly, it doesn't guarantee success or losing sales to semi-comparable substitutes. But let's look at it's current state.

https://www.macrumors.com/2017/04/11/q1-2017-worldwide-mac-s...

6.8% doesn't sound like a lot, but remember the Mac got as low as 2% twenty years ago. And Macs sell for an average of $1,200 while Windows PC average sales price is around $500. So Apple has about 16% of PC revenues (and the majority of PC profits).

Apple is selling over $25B a year of Macs and growing revenues in an industry declining at 10% a year, Surface sales peaked at $3.5B and are now falling. Evidence is that Surface sales aren't a big threat to Apple because even an identical form factor isn't going to sway customers who want MacOS.
But surely much of that overseas cash is invested and earning enough that 3.25% interest is erased or at least mostly offset?
I have an almost fetish for retro and retro sci-fi interfaces.

I stumbled into this really gorgeous, simplistic terminal like design. I was so inspired by it I decided to re-create the style in HTML+CSS. Once I did that I had another spark, and decided to make it a working faux terminal. And then I had the idea that maybe I could turn it into a small little game. You discover this machine, like you dialed into it randomly one day, and have to navigate yourself around, discover the story through reading logs, and hack into other machines to progress through the levels.

It looked like this: http://imgur.com/a/pBOtP

I'm an engineer through and through; it was odd to be so inspired by a design that I went off to make a game :P

More recently I've been obsessed with the Alien: Isolation interface, which is showcased on the OP (https://68.media.tumblr.com/ea49aeb0e1a6961a7dc1b3ed02ebca85...). It's given me yet another hankering to ... do something. Not sure what yet, but it's just such an inspiring design.

Both BTC and ETH don't actually reward randomly. Instead, everyone is just trying a large amount of 'solutions' until one works. The first to find and distribute such a solution is said to have 'mined' such a block and gets to add his reward into the record by modifying that block.

Because there is no way to know the true solution, everyone is just guessing so in the end it is random chance that determines who gets to mine a block, but those who spent more effort have proportionally more chance to win.
Think of it this way... the Earth is a rock ~4K miles in radius. Essentially all of it is molten rock. When people try hard we can melt rocks to make metals. But we need special-built furnaces, machines, etc. And these furnaces are maybe 50 feet across.

So the Earth has a heat stored which is (4K miles / 50 feet)^3 times larger than a blast furnace.

i.e. about 7x10^16 times larger.

If everyone on Earth had their own personal blast furnace, we'd be controlling 10 million times less energy than what's in the core of the Earth.

Similar calculations apply to other calculations. A Physics 101 calculation I did (years ago) was how much a tidal plant would slow down the rotation of the Earth. The answer was by less than a second a day, after 100 years of running.

> ke, what would happen globally if the entire state of Arizona was in the shadow of solar arrays?

The plants wouldn't grow. :)

But seriously, the energy has to go somewhere. If it's hitting solar panels instead of the ground, the net effect to the world is essentially zero.

Maybe locally the ground would be cooler because it's in the shade. But that's about it.
That's an absolutely standard practice in Javascript, and especially in the React world.

The assumption is that if two objects are different references, then their contents are also different. It's possible that you could have two different objects whose fields point to the exact same contents, but given a typical application setup that's unlikely. So, a simple `a === b` (or if you're looking at all the contents, `first.a === second.a && first.b === second.b && .....`) is just some quick pointer comparisons in the JS engine. So, at the JS level you don't care what the pointer address actually _is_, just whether the two variables point to different things in memory.

Ask HN: Starting/running a Minority Women Owned Business Enterprise (MWBE)?
Having worked in B2B and Municipal (City, State, Federal) procurement I did interact with numerous firms that qualified as MWBE. Mostly in professional services. I know a couple people who genuinely fit the mold for taking a risk to start a business as an MWBE, so would like to ask if there are any examples or testimonies here. Might be an interesting discussion!

> If it's OK to do the original illegal thing, then why wouldn't it be OK to try to avoid contact with law enforcement while doing it?

Because law enforcement might need to do an investigation to determine if you're doing an illegal thing or not. Impeding such an investigation is ipso facto illegal, regardless of whether the thing they're investigating is itself against the law. That's why we have a crime called "obstruction of justice", to disincentivize people from covering up their illegal activities by any means necessary.

The issue of whether or not what Uber did was illegal seems to hinge upon whether or not the underlying activity was illegal.

That's not quite right. The issue of whether or not Uber tried to hide activities from authorities is separate from whether the activity was itself illegal. It's possible to face an obstruction of justice charge even if the investigation you are obstructing is looking at legal activity or ultimately does not result in a prosecution.

For example, Martha Stewart was convicted of obstruction of justice (and lying and conspiracy) even though she was not actually charged with insider trading.[1]

You're right, they can do whatever they want. And they have been able to do so for several years now. So the best predictor of what they will do is look at what they have done and figure out what they want.

Here's Apple's acquisitions:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mergers_and_acquisitio...

They have never done the sort of acquisition that Citi is positing here. Why is that? The most straightforward explanation is that they don't want to. And yet financial "analysts" constantly make up these Apple merger rumors... Netflix, Twitter, Tesla, Disney, Blackberry, TimeWarner, Yelp, Tidal, those are just once I came up with looking at a Bing search for "apple merger rumors." They never happen. Yet people still keep responding to them like they're not total bullshit.
I had an Apple ][+ clone. It wasn't a brand name one or anything, it was purchased as just a logic board with no parts. I guess you could think of it as a bootleg PCB.

Reconstructing Artistic Style
Simple solution: drop the science schtick for two seconds while discussing consciousness.

I was not discussing consciousness per-se, I was discussing the theory and the sort of theory discussed in the article - the claim that a subjective experience needs to be added to the scientific process to explain various supposed problems.

I have no objections to exploring subjective experience - believe it or not, I mediate, practice Qigong and Tai Chi and enjoy Eastern philosophies like Taoism.

A text like the Tao Te Ching is more applicable to the immediate problems of living than a text book on physics but that doesn't mean subjective intuitions can be uncritically applied to physics. Science is a particular discipline, applicable in a limited but important level of reality, specifically intended to benefit from limiting the use of the subjective messiness of most human reasoning - not that this subjective messiness isn't highly useful elsewhere.

Maybe somewhat counter-intuitively, vegetables & fruits like melons, watermelons, cucumbers, etc. (that contain a lot of water), often grow well in dry-looking sandy soil. I think it may be partly because the soil is loose, so their roots can go deeper more easily, to reach the water below. As a result, I've often seen and heard of these plants growing or being grown near rivers and lakes, even somewhat far away from the water's edge, because there is water below, in the water table.

Intel decided they have the right to put a whole secret computer inside your computer that only they can access. God knows what it does when no one is watching.

That's the problem you should discuss, not this particular exploit.
The scale at which humans draw energy from the core is negligible compared to the amount. Think about it, earth has been cooling down through radiating from the surface for billions of years. Given the ratio of the geothermal station and the surface area of earth, I don't think there is anything to worry about.

As for solar, the incoming energy would have been mostly converted to heat. When we use the electricity produced, we convert it back to heat again. If the entire state of AZ were covered with solar panels, and all the energy spent in NY, there would be some localized changes but not much in the global scale. For the foreseeable future, we are not even close to covering up just 1% of the land area of AZ.

FWIW, I agree with you--I feel like there's a distinct "pull the ladder up behind you" notion in the land of bleeding-edge software (not just FP, but I'm lookin' that way), where a vocal and influential chunk of the community has decided (and enough others have followed along) that a certain kind of exclusive specificity and conscious choice of high-level vocabulary matters more than the other people who might benefit from the stuff. And then inertia means things don't get better.

Many programmers are bad at naming things. Many are bad at doc. None of this stuff is actually hard, it's just made hard and made unfriendly in unfortunate ways.
