What I find interesting is when I discuss MongoDB with other developers is that (so far) all of them seem to think that there should only be "one" database. When I explain to other developers that it's OK to use an SQL database as a primary database and MongoDB (or another document based storage system) for periphery data (logs, events) or data that is difficult to store in a relational system.

Somehow there seems to be this notion that you either use xyz document store OR a relational database. I don't think this is the case.

I often end up with MySQL, MongoDB and Redis to store data.
Honestly, the main reason I like this is the way videos look with huge pixels.
That's quite a co-incidence. Back when I was making the front end for a Forex trading app, I considered using this very library for the task. Project didn't actually get started and I moved onto other things. I was very keen at the time to give this a go as it seemed to fit well with the requirements of the time.
You should allow the user to specify a pixel ratio that describes the width/height of each character of their terminal font. Otherwise, your images will be distorted, because your output pixels are not square.

Here's a screenshot demonstrating this issue, when converting a GIF to text in a terminal:

They do decoy bikes, e.g. here's a news article about a thief being caught by police stealing a decoy bike for the second time in 6 months published just 3 days ago (in Dutch, but it Google Translates):

http://www.nhnieuws.nl/nieuws/207931/Fietsendief-in-Amsterda...

The problem is that the police have other stuff to do, and they might as well be pissing in the wind with the amount of bike theft here. They could do a huge crackdown, but that's unsustainable and after the crackdown we'll be right back to the same theft rate.

Interestingly there was a case this year (currently going through appeals) where a judge ruled that a man stealing a bicycle in a residential neighborhood should be found not guilty because the police had created the circumstances of the bike's theft:

http://www.dutchnews.nl/news/archives/2016/01/decoy-bikes-sh...

It's unclear what that means for bicycle entrapment in general, but an article in Parool (again, in Dutch) suggested that this may have implications for the methods of the Amsterdam police depending on how it goes:

http://www.parool.nl/parool/nl/4/AMSTERDAM/article/detail/42...
I agree completely. I didn't even ride a bicycle there (I only learned how to ride recently), yet simply walking the streets of Amsterdam felt so right that I've decided to move there at least for a year. A decently-sized city without many cars is fantastic.
My impression is that Dutch city bikes are designed to not need much maintenance. They have hub gears so no derailleurs or cassettes. They have chain guards and internal gears mean less need for lubrication. They have drum brakes so no brake pads.
> The problem is more distribution more than abundance.

This. Not because scarcity isn't present, but because it is fundamental and inevitable; distribution isn't he thing that can be addressed, and scarcity is not.
Under present SCOTUS precedent, free speech rights don't extend to privately-owned physical space, though the matter remains in contention in numerous states:

https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=139661

The FCC has some guidance on free speech as pertains to broadcast (television, radio) media:

https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/fcc-and-freedom-speech

"Individual radio and television station licensees are responsible for selecting all broadcast matter and for determining how their stations can best serve their communities. Broadcast licensees are responsible for choosing both the entertainment programming and the programming concerning local issues, news, public affairs, religion, sports and other subjects to be aired by the station."

The EFF's issue centre on free speech is conspicuously silent on the specific matter of major private-platform provider rights and/or obligations:

https://www.eff.org/issues/free-speech

The Net Neutrality debate touches on this question in part, and the pro-net-neutrality argument generally contradicts your viewpoint:

https://www.aclu.org/feature/what-net-neutrality

Much of the question revolves around the definition of "common carrier", and who's included. By one argument, a constitutionally protected service providing common access to billions of people, might just conceivably fit that definition.

People seriously need to stop rolling their own crypto.
They don't have a special permission, but each case is treated individually - what exactly technically you did matters just a little, the intent (not claimed intent, but the intent that the judge/jury would imply), circumstances and what you do afterwards with the data matter much more.

I.e., if a respected company downloads the data, reviews what horrible things it has and reports it to proper authorities (and gets legal advice before that on how best do it), then they're very likely to be treated as not done anything bad;

If I'd do the same, contact them asking to fix the vulnerability "or else", and then download the data and publish an angry video rant on youtube, that might land me in trouble, as (expected) intent matters a lot for prosecuting crimes.

Show HN: Python bindings to the Servo HTML5 parser, html5ever
From TFA:

The user-space stack of a process is automatically expanded by the kernel:

- if the stack-pointer (the esp register, on i386) reaches the start of the stack and the unmapped memory pages below (the stack grows down, on i386),

- then a "page-fault" exception is raised and caught by the kernel,

- and the page-fault handler transparently expands the user-space stack of the process (it decreases the start address of the stack),

- or it terminates the process with a SIGSEGV if the stack expansion fails (for example, if the RLIMIT_STACK is reached).

Unfortunately, this stack expansion mechanism is implicit and fragile: it relies on page-fault exceptions, but if another memory region is mapped directly below the stack, then the stack-pointer can move from the stack into the other memory region without raising a page-fault, and:

- the kernel cannot tell that the process needed more stack memory;

- the process cannot tell that its stack-pointer moved from the stack into another memory region.
> Under present SCOTUS precedent, free speech rights don't extend to privately-owned physical space

Yes, they do; they don't apply against private actors, including private property owners, because free speech rights are limits on the actions of government.

But it's the actor, not the space, that is at issue.
Maybe start with something very small and hopefully simple, like a zooplankton, and figure out how that works, then work your way up ... anyway, good luck.
I think you need to gain a better understanding about how different perspectives and mindsets can change what a person does, and what a person thinks, and how the the two can be in direct competition.

A depressed person is simply not "choosing" to feel the way they do. Every single thought in their head could be marshaling their instinctual brain to resist the downward spiral but they could still lie in bed all day.

Not to say they don't have agency, but some do have a LOT less than others. Some people can go their entire lives without having a crisis of agency or wresting power over their own choices, and some can be battling to do what they intend to do on a daily basis.

People have "responsibility" for the outcomes that happen for them. We still lock up people who murder, or steal from others, even though it can easily be argued that people don't do those things if not in a bad mental state (desperation, mental anguish, etc). But don't conflate that responsibility with full healthy agency and bad morals.

We should instead focus on the outcome we desire - which in my opinion should be to reduce the amount of suffering people go through, and to have a society that takes care of its most vulnerable. If you disagree and think that everyone should fend for themselves and might makes right, I'd say the person with "bad work ethic" has better morals.

I don't mean to be crass, but what are you showing here? It's not an app for landlords, but rather, a prototypical "lean startup" lead collection form. Have you built any of the real app? I think you'd be better served to do a "Show HN" once there's something to show.
a ubi needn't stop you from working. what it will stop, or at least sharply reduce, is low-paying jobs that are low-paying simply because everyone has to either work or starve, and because the job involves easily-replaceable skills. for example, being an amazon warehouse worker is, from all accounts, highly unpleasant, way more so than being an amazon developer. and yet the developers are paid a lot more. why? amazon absolutely needs warehouse workers; its business would collapse without them. but the price for the job is set by how easily they could replace those workers, and that in turn is set by the fact that there are more people who need jobs than there are jobs available.

also, look at it this way - there are lots of people who would find it satisfying and fulfilling to be painters, or gardeners, or heck, even nursery school teachers. the only problem is that those jobs don't pay as well as less fulfilling but more valuable to the "owner" class. why is your (and many other people's!) vision of basic income a bunch of zombies sitting around as "mouths to feed", when no one thinks that about people with inherited wealth?
> He said he could not image using his older MacBook Pro (I think it was one from 2013) because it was "too thick and heavy".

Given that the difference between the two in thickness is .1", just over 2mm, I'd likely equate that to bias. Yes, it's thinner, but in a way that is noticeable on your lap or your desk, or in your backpack? Not as much.
I'm don't think "smaller" matters much in this case. Delivering food from nearby shops is inherently local and can be rolled out slowly.

"Denser", however, is often a very good answer. Imagine shoving every person from California into New York state, alongside the existing residents - and then shrinking the state a little. That's the size and density of England.

What if you set up SS to mirror DS, but with a limited range so that any attempt to access memory outside the stack via SS: causes a page fault? Wouldn't any exploit running ESP down into the heap be thwarted by any stack-related instruction (push, pop, or an interrupt?)
Its a bit like arguing causality and determinism, but how does a person come to make bad choices, if the path before them, their past experience, and their current environment does not precipitate them to make that choice? One would have to go deep into philosophy, but still will find competing answers - when does the decision become "morally" wrong, or become the fault of the person?
Who decides which ideologies are authoritarian or not? It isn't an objective or universal reality. There are plenty of people in this country who think a Bernie Sanders presidency would have been as dangerous as Stalinism.

If we didn't have freedom of speech, we'd be just like Russia. The opposition is demonized at best, snuffed out of existence at worst.

As far as I understand, the religion/ethnicity columns are not a fact, not a record and not something private provided by the person themselves or some agency - it's a modelling guess that they've made based on other publicly available data.

So, if I look at your post history and make a guess about what religion and ethnicity you might have, and write that down, am I in possession of an illegal database if I lived in e.g. France?

I did take a quick look, and it seems that I have a good idea about your full name, face, hair color, political views and party affiliation, your employer, etc. All this data (together with demographics of others) would also allow to make some guess about your religious preferences. All of that might be wrong, but it might also be right, so let's assume for the sake of argument that I write my guesses down and happen to have an entry that contains your full name, ethnicity and religion, just like the leaked data has.

Should this be considered a crime?

Does this change depending on how many people I look at?

Does this change depending on how accurate my guesses are?

Throwaway account because of involvement in this field.

Even though the RNC is a private organization, it doesn't operate like a normal company. The partnerships that it makes with companies that it awards contracts to are largely relationship-driven, not actually driven by objective analysis of value propositions. Those decisions tend to be made at the COO/CoS (Chief of Staff) level.
> But we all still need access to the option to work.

UBI makes work more attractive and available, not less, compared to the things it is generally proposed to replace (means tested benefit programs and minimum wages)—by replacing means-tested benefit programs it means people don't lose money for finding work, and by replacing minimum wages it means work with a positive, but low, value per hour can still be offered that would otherwise be forbidden.
No, but it's not far off that: it feels like self-promotion by fabricating criticisms of an immensely popular project. IMO the core suggestion of the paper--that noise is somehow correlated across different sensors separated by thousands of miles--is substantially more extraordinary than the LIGO experiments themselves (whose findings are well supported by decades of theory), so the possibility that this paper's results stem from anything other than flawed methodology seems vanishingly small.
CA offers DMP services as part of their product suite, but they specialize in doing this kind of modeling as a professional service.
I read it that way, but then, that would mean there is no school within 20 km, so an empty space where schools around are separated by 40 km. I think there are very few possible spaces like that in Netherlands, or in most Western Europe. Or then we are talking about high-schools, which are more sparse.

So I guess 2x10 km is the most likely answer. And that's already a lot.
First, I'm not sure how we can anthropomorphize an evolutionary force like that.

Second, evolutionary forces have made us value nonviolence in the first place. If they hadn't, we wouldn't have any notion of the reason or means to overcome what we see as a never-ending cycle. If we are able to even conceive of violence as something negative then it means we are already able to "overcome" it to some extent, but then we find that the question itself is circular.

Essentially, to be able to think that the world is shitty you already need a framework in place where members of your species are influenced by a widespread desire to make it less shitty according to criteria determined by their biological needs.

No, what will stop people from working is that the people currently in charge of creating jobs will not bother to create jobs for everyone because "you have your UBI." That's the problem.

"The UK gave up HK for nothing." Really? The British colonial occupation did not benefit from more than a century of British rule in the region? How about: Thatcher got off easy without a demand for reparations.

Or if we are to play realpolitik without a notion of human decency: by Thatcher's time the Chinese had every local military advantage. The Brits were forced to concede a losing position and should count themselves lucky that the negotiations resolved peacefully.

The hubris of the Western colonial view never ceases to amaze.
This is very different from what I was told by certain exasperated civil servants at the time in Honkers which was that initially China didn't really want change at all as they thought any more of this democracy and capitalism poison (not to mention triad crime) needed to be contained and certainly not brought into China proper and that they would have gladly ignored the expiration of the lease but for the idiocy of the Brits insisting on some sort of replacement framework. They'd have gladly just carried on taking the money pretending it didn't exist. Deng had to come up with a fudge - one country, two systems and Macao followed suit thereafter. But it was a long time ago and that may have just been Lily Wong.

edit: for example the chinese did nothing to stem the tide of people to-ing and fro-ing when HK was still a colony, I recall some squaddies complaining bitterly about having to shoot at them up the hillside whilst People's Army looked on bemused.
In Denpasar, Indonesia (the airport for Bali), you could always get through immigration/customs by bribing the immigration officers. Actually, they would come through the lines telling us about their "service" given that they immigration lines were moving so slowly (and I have a feeling, this was by design). With the new airport and more efficient immigration lines, these people have disappeared, however.

I wonder what kind of relationship you need to set up a kind of service that would even allow you to meetup at the arrival gate? Many airports simply have nothing for this beyond VIPs, I can't think of any airport in China that would do this, for example, which is why all the people are holding up signs waiting for their charges outside of customs.

Edit: they seem to offer service at PEK (https://www.solve.com/pricing/pek), but DAMN those prices are sky high (start at $1,690). I guess that answers my question then.

This article sounds suspiciously like turtlenecked art-house nonsense so common amongst the "art" community today.

"These earliest images are multi-dimensional, integrated into a complete sensory experience."

Hah! That's what he would like to think because it is a rather pretty and poetic embellishment.

But to say that these people are drawing these pictures without any definable (or understandable-to-us) send of self seems like a stretch of anthropological imagination. While most can agree cave art is not meant to be an objective portrayal of reality he seems to argue that its creators were merely channeling some otherworldly inner vision, without individual embellishment or initiative. That these people were merely agents to some shared idea without individual will. I disagree.

"The universe was consciously felt and conceived as an organism; fundamentally benevolent, productive, mysterious and impenetrable to the rational mind; which is to say, female."

The view that web apps can only be for simple things is a dated perspective, but also probably a symptom of the fact that it's not really possible to take full advantage of many CPU cores in a web application.

An in-browser photo editor or 3D modeling software would be expected to run much better and apply complex effects or render models much faster on high-end hardware. It sort of works this way with WebGL content, but even there you're limited to feeding the render pipeline with a single thread.

I want the web as a platform to succeed. It is the only truly universal runtime and with some care it could offer very few performance trade-offs. I sincerely hope tools like servo and others unlock this potential.
