Well yes, if you ignore all the evidence of something then you can confidently say there is no evidence.

Christian genesis: There was a garden of Eden, and a god.

Evidence: No garden of Eden, no evidence of angels or god, no reason those things would suddenly stop being apparent. Direct contradictory evidence that YHWH[1] was a minor god in the original jewish pantheon rather than an actual creator god.

Big Bang: The universe started for an unknown reason and rapidly expanded outward.

Evidence: The universe is visibly expanding outwards and formed in a way consistent with an explosion.

Did you think that the big bang theory was just something someone thought of, and then they looked for evidence? Evidence came first, then the big bang was proposed.

It's about learning how to learn. I got much better at learning during college, and many have told me the same thing.

If you picked a college that consisted of rote memorization, you were rooked. Due to google, rote memorization is rather pointless.
When you get down to the bedrock, there's very little difference between theistic and atheistic explanations for creation.
Helium is much more expensive than hydrogen and lifts less.
Sorry, but I don't understand your argument. When asked 'how do you explain lensing without dark matter?', your answer is 'with this particular flavor of dark matter'?
Forget dark matter, use the analogy from the article: afaik nobody has ever proven ether is not existing.

I know nothing about dark matter, but I could play a zero-sum game based on this article content - just the way anybody else could play - and outcome of that game is according to this article proven theory of this guy denies dark matter and dark energy theory.

And that's all, we could prove bad logic here without waiting for the third season of Dark Matter to be broadcasted.
From my own experience and people I've talked to over the years, the 'transition' in a merger or acquisition, especially for the high level employees, is always more complex than you might think. Further the complexity rises depending on the leverage (so if the acquired company is in a strong position or a weak position).

That is especially true in 'feature' acquisitions where the company being acquired is going to be a new feature of the acquiring company's existing product. In those types of situations the acquiring company is probably already evaluating the feature and in a 'make' vs 'buy' sort of analysis mode, and even if they 'buy' a company that has built the feature, they really just want the technology and maybe the customer traction, rather than much more than that.

It will be interesting to hear how the Delaware Chancery court sees it but my guess is that they will hold for Twilio unless those redactions obscure some really bad contract work on Twilio's legal team.
The guys getting paid to develop VB.NET at some of our customer sites are quite happy with their salaries.
The correct answer I found is this horrible mess of weird characters and it's completely incomprehensible.

Someone who tries to learn Chinese may have the same thought after having been exposed to nothing but English. The keyword is "language".

The quoting rules in bash/sh are not difficult to memorise, and definitely a must-learn.

I wanted to do floating point math.

Maths is not a strong point of shell languages because they were designed more for string manipulation and gluing other programs together. Try doing pipelines and redirection in a "real programming language", for a contrasting example.

"The right tool for the job".
It also causes folks in one tax bracket to keep their income down for fear of paying way more. I've had conversations with multiple people who were deadly afraid of earning another dollar because they thought their entire income would be taxed at that rate. They were only disabused of the notion after bringing up the IRS tax tables and calculating it all.
It's probably just how we have it configured. Right now when a new ticket is opened it's in the pending state. The DnD interface doesn't work until you open the ticket.
Highly recommend the book The Corner by the show's creators.

Phenomenal book that served as an inspiration for The Wire.

Here is a paper from Bosch in that direction, it uses a second network to classify examples as adversarials: https://arxiv.org/abs/1702.04267

Using a fail safe network is hard because adversarial examples usually have a high accuracy at a false class. So using an accuracy threshold in the main network wouldn't work. Using a network as described in the paper and then a different kind of classifier might be worth trying. But it has also been shown that adversarial examples can transfer to different kind of models (don't know if random forests have been tried as well).
I was initially confused as well. Would be interested in an authoritative answer from the author, but this is what I came up with upon reflection: the behavioral and performance standards he's talking about are the ones that are primarily social and relatively objective. So, for instance, if one of your team members is prone to shouting at colleagues, it's the manager's job to explain that he expects everyone to act civilly. If the team has decided to adopt code style rules or test coverage requirements, and someone frequently flouts those rules, it's the manager's job to tell them they have to follow the team rules or find another team. Stuff like that.
I'm objecting to the general statement that 'cancers are avoidable'. Some cancers are, not all cancers are and there are plenty of people that ended up with lung cancer that never smoked so even that isn't a guarantee.
If anyone was still under the impression that Brexit was going to lead to a more international Britain rather than be carte blanche for every dumb idea a politician has might want to start paying attention.

Ok. I read it as "too big" size wise. Of course I know it's a mirror.
I think PG phrased the university point poorly. He says he wants to get rid of universities? Really what he wants to get rid of is the undergraduate education system. Universities are primarily places where cutting edge research is done, with students being a secondary concern (they just bring in the money).

There are some decent counter-arguments:

The draw of universities, certainly top ones, is that you physically bring together hundreds, thousands, of people who are eager to learn. This is something you will never get with a MOOC in the same way. You might have a community ten times larger doing 6.00x online, but you don't have that mingling of smart people in different fields. Good ideas (rarely) come out of lectures, they come out of meeting friends for beer or coffee.

That's a very rose tinted view of reality, but some universities like Oxbridge, MIT, Stanford, etc really excel at putting great people in the same room as each other.

Aside from education, universities are by far (in my experience) the best places to meet like-minded people who are a similar age to you. We had societies for everything under the sun. Many people go to university/college solely for the social aspect.
Dark matter isn't theorized to necessassrilly be a particle either (finding new symmetries in the standard model would be extremely surprising)- it's literally just a placeholder name for a massive (as in, exhibits mass) unknown.
You can, it's very easy. That's probably why 10S is there, to stopgap chunk of the population before they see how easy it is.

Was your first laptop a cheap 10S? or chrome? or did you install it yourself on a thinkpad?

Android and iOS both use separate rendering processes/threads for UI and animation to eliminate a range of issues that would otherwise be observable.

The code thread might hang, it scheduled rendering and animations will continue.

There are scenarios not covered by this hack, but largely these systems are responsible for masking many issues- in this case GC introduced pauses, but can happen in things as common as close()
You are mixing developers with UNIX developers.

There are many kinds of developers in the world, some of us dislike being mixed with UNIX developers all the time on HN.
Im not sure about the exact cost, but at first sight this approach would still require a lot more operations per line - you need to keep the lawnmower inside by measuring distance/intersection to closest edge, plus track the already mowed area. Maybe making the lawnmower wide enough could make it fast and accurate enough for specific use cases.
How do these proposals compare with the regulations imposed on print and television media in the UK?

Regulations imposed by a well meaning government can presumably be used for good. Hate speech is already banned in the UK, has that been abused by the organisations that enforce those rules?

It seems conceivable to me that while tighter regulations on the Internet could be abused by a malicious government, they might not be. The govt might just use the powers to stamp out a bit of extremist material here and there.
Yes, looks like terrorists are winning... They made everyone's life to be worse, that was basically their goal.
In the name of fight against terrorism power-hungry politicians propose mind-boggling useless and awful measures, and people don't stop them, because "how can you be against fight on terrorism?"
So sad.
<1% per hour. This is achieved by:
1. use consumption patterns to know when to transmit data (eg, if no one is actively tracking, no need to transmit data on radio) [1]
2. using accelerometer and gyroscope data to know when to collect data (eg, if you're not moving, no need to use GPS)

According to Mrs. Packard:

"Well, it was very scary to be leaving General Electric, and to realize that we were on our own. Actually, he [David] came back to get his engineer's degree, so really we were thinking of ourselves as students for the first year."

"During that year, he and Bill started Hewlett-Packard. At the end of his year's leave of absence was when he had to write a letter actually quitting General Electric. That was the most traumatic part of it all."
No because this is HN, and Apple reigns on SV.

Theresa May is very basic and very prude. Colour me unsurprised.
Though shouldn't the issue with used books being sold as new and ARCs being sold as new get sorted out just by customers complaining to Amazon about sellers? And if that doesn't fix it, isn't Amazon's handling of that the real problem, in those cases?

As someone knowledgeable about this stuff, what was the actual buybox policy change? As a third party seller, I've been getting emails from Amazon for years about winning the buybox, so I'm confused about what actually changed recently, since the article made it sound like third parties winning the buybox is a new thing.
Putting the "Student Debt" essential concept and current state aside, I mean, this phenomenon got to get a deep massive reform, but just regarding the topic of the title.

Sometimes, you'll pay $38 to collect $1, cause, otherwise, you will face a reality where you have $100 to collect and not $1.

It might costs $250K to put in jail someone who robbed 10 houses in total amount of goods of $10k. But you'll do it all the way to alram others.

What's more, flawless cheekbones positively are one of those essential elements of face that characterize its magnificence. However, not every one of us is honored with actually culminate cheekbones. Furthermore, for a number of us, notwithstanding completing a plastic surgery to misleadingly enhance our elements is likewise impossible. In any case, you require not stress regardless of the possibility that you can identify with both of these situations. All you have to do to get the impeccably formed cheekbones are some facial activities.

Do I need to eject my create-react-app to use Redux and Redux-Little-Router?
No, he's right.
That's "optimize for the test spec".
Detect an idiom and optimize it is very common in this situation.

For example, commercial compilers are often written to specifically detect and rewrite idioms/code in oft-used benchmarks (that aren't common to the real world), etc
Your browser's javascript engine almost certainly does it.

They aren't cheating, they are just making the test worthless by optimizing it.
They still shouldn't do it, but it's super-common.
Yeah there's a huge amount of politics in research IN GENERAL, but not so much in physics. Like there are no big questions covered up because they're inconvenient or anything.
Well, right. You could have a distribution of black holes. But that would mean a lot of black holes - all of them in space so void of other matter that they have no accretion disks. Also, with black holes so common, we would see many collisions with plain stars - and those would be very visible.
This is Hacker News, my friend. Anyone who has a negative opinion is showered with praise and upvotes for being a contrarian and a bold ideologue. (Unless that opinion is about Rust, or, apparently, TV.) Don't just take my word on it- go see any product launch here, from the small leagues all the way to Musk's latest work, and watch as people crap on it. (And get upvotes.)

To be honest, I'm not impressed with people who are contrarian for the sake of being contrarian. Like yourself, it triggers some circuitry in the brains of many HNers that cause them to enjoy it, even if the actual content of the post is not as high as an equivalent, non-contrarian post. If you understand this circuitry is being fired, you can see the contrarianism for what it really is.
Not that simple.

Counterfeiting is the real problem.
While their approach is clever, it is not guaranteed to converge in a fixed number of iterations. Author states that constrained Delaunay Triangulation is "slow and error-prone". I disagree -- I've implemented parallel and recursive Delaunay on GPU before, and it converges in a fixed number of recursions -- for a taste of the general approach, see here:

JFA could certainly be "abused" for this purpose.
Stringer explaining elasticity of demand in the copy shop is one of my all-time favorite scenes in television.
I'm sure there was a more tasteful way to make that point.
The annotated mode is indeed very nice to browse the generated C code, although I still needed to manually read the .c in some cases. The annotated code elides things like the (many thousand lines of) Cython support code; but since few things are documented I sometimes even needed to dig through those, deciphering nested #ifs and whatnot just to see whether the code would be correct.

E.g. what does `cdef char *something = somethingelse` give me. Even if you know the type of somethingelse it's at best a guess. (Bonus question: Say you know somethingelse is going to be a Python bytes object. Does something point to a copy?)
The idea is though, that the airship travel itself is so nice it can be counted as part of the vacation.
SWI-Prolog lacks a commercial-grade constraint solver that is sufficiently efficient for the tasks you might have tried. If you are interested in applying constraint solving for very complex combinatorial tasks, consider trying a Prolog system with more efficient constraint solvers which are routinely used in industry. Note that SWI-Prolog is not based on the WAM either.
This is an exaggeration. We sell and ship a complex, commercial product built with .NET Core. Our (small) team has had some frustrations as things changed along the way, but it has hardly been a dramatic, nail-biting, disaster-ridden fiasco. We are very happy with the project and its rate of progress.

>The question is if there's something better out there and if we adopt something better, would it remove the need for all this "dark matter".

I'm not sure about this, personally I don't know enough about quantum gravity to comment on that. Dark energy is a tricky question though because it is somewhat explainable within our current theories, and it is unobservable.

> Secondly, many other areas of physics have worked this out.

I don't know why I put this. I meant to put that QFT is an example of a theory which predicts many more phenomena than it was originally invented to describe.
For further coverage, this is also discussed in the (kinda disturbing) book Hooked as the Investment part of their cycle.

Kudos to you. (Though I'd like to ask, do you respect it in the common sense way by not storing any information about a DNT user or in the DAA sense - i.e. "we understand 'do not track' as 'do track but only show untargeted advertising'"?)

However, I'm more concerned about the hundreds of other services that might not. My point was that DNT requires cooperation from a huge number of actors to be effective, with the actors having no incentive to play along and nothing to fear if they don't.
Funny that you mention 'ancient window management'. Tiling window managers are basically a continuation of terminal muxing and are thus more ancient than stacking window managers.

I bet you live in a major city.

I live in the USA and would feel this way too about Trump if I didn't know people who lived in the interior. I live in the Los Angeles metro, which is one of America's "alpha cities."

London and other major global cities have formed something almost akin to the science fiction concept of a breakaway civilization. They are their own global meta-nation. Meanwhile the interior and rural districts of their own host countries have been in a state of permanent depression for almost two decades now.

Not saying the conservatives or Trump will fix this. They're political opportunists riding a wave of dissent. All Trump had to do to get elected was to style himself the opposite of all the values and ideas popular in global Urbanity. One of the most insightful comments about Trump I've read was that his racism was more intended to offend educated white urban coastal liberals than to offend non-white races.

From what I can see Brexit and this stuff is the same.

It's a "fuck you" vote from the forgotten districts.

> Distributing malicious JavaScript content
The authors consider three ways to do this: – directly compromising (or colluding with) web servers hosting JS code; injecting malicious JavaScript when JS libraries are accessed over unprotected connections (HTTP instead of HTTPS); and redirecting requests for JS content via compromised name resolution.

Importantly, the first and third can be mitigated by subresource integrity (SRI) in modern browsers. If you don't control the host/CDN serving your static JS, that's how you protect against these attacks.

(The second, of course, is mitigated by regular old HTTPS.)
