If it were up to me, all the digit names would be one syllable, and the order of magnitude would get its own syllable (or a few, for very large/small numbers) up front. Basically a verbalization of scientific notation, but with the exponent leading.

This could be safely dropped for numbers of less than a few digits. "Two six" or "eight one four" is not going to be ambiguous/confusing.
The CO2 is also an input; it originally comes from the environment, so this is net-zero emissions in the same way that biofuels are. From the article:

Although the bus emits CO2, Team Fast argues that the original CO2 used to create the hydrozine is
taken from existing sources, such as air or exhaust fumes, so that no additional CO2 is produced
- it's a closed carbon cycle in the jargon.

Insurance is priced according to risk, yes. However, most insurance is priced against fairly good odds that they will not pay to an individual. Which ultimately points to health care being a relatively stupid place to trust to an insurance market.

So what is it exactly? What are you buying?
never found one :( the sad thing is, the few times I use windows I want one specific tiling mode - a single vertical split with keystrokes to move the split line left or right, and to swap the left/right panes. (e.g. read a howto in a browser, follow along with it in the app in the other pane). I was hoping for something that would just let me do that, but no dice.
The askers' perception may be that it's a safe question, but there are too many situations where the question is dangerous. Do you really want to have to identify as muslim or non-chrich goer when working and living in the Redstates? Do you really want to have to identify as non-religious when everyone around you is? Will your religion - or lack of - transmit your political leanings, which are opposite to the others around you?

The invitation to a (particular) church can come across as part of a package of high pressure to conform to the rest of the team. I've received these invitations while living in the US, and yes, it was very uncomfortable.

If the invitation is from someone in power over the receiver then it may be received/perceived as an order.
It either destroys your civilization or causes it to thrive. ;- )

Enamored with David Simon's work, I picked up the DVD box set of "Homicide: Life on the Street", which I'd heard of before, but didn't have an attachment to. After seeing The Wire, then Treme (which took me a long time to adjust to not being The Wire, but may actually be even better) and then Show Me A Hero, it's fair to say that Davis Simon is just a brilliant writer.

Anyway, that was kind of a tangent to get to the real point, which is that Homicide, filmed a decade earlier than the Wire, highlighted many of the same troubles that The Wire did. Perhaps as the result of being based on the same (or similar) works, but if Homicide was authentic (and I believe it was) and the Wire was authentic (which I also believe), then it seems that Baltimore's had problems for some time.

I work in Baltimore now, and get to see some of the areas The Wire was filmed in enough to see that they've made real progress in certain areas, but on the whole, but Baltimore tends to do a good job of holding a spot in the top 10 of "most dangerous cities" lists year to year.

Darwin might disagree.

Perhaps you can say evolution is accidental, without intention. Quite a happy accident in my opinion.

True if combustion occurs in pure oxygen. Combustion of petrol fuels in an automobile tends to produce nitrogen oxides from the nitrogen in the atmosphere. I assume fuel cell reactions don't do this.
Seeding entrepreneurialism in emerging markets makes sense both altruistically and in return potential for an investor -- you're not competing in a saturated market, like say seed investing in the valley, and costs are low. If you can solve the other side, such as access to capital, M&A opportunity, and potentially international customers, as Jorn is doing, you're in a great place.

The part about training for business conduct feels a bit iffy in tone from the level of detail it goes into. I bought a company in Germany a few years back, and my Canadian sensibilities certainly offended folks until I learned the rules of the local culture. Any cross border business interactions are fraught with this.

A few of my friends are currently investing/managing a company out of Ghana. Extremely low investment has yielded a great growth curve, and they're changing how sub-Saharan Africans manage their finances. They're some of the happiest investor/entrepreneurs I know.
I thought all ICOs were fixed supply. How does unlimited supply even work? Isn't each token meant to represent something?

I'm not sure Rural and Vegan intersect much. Doubtful this Is the source issue.

I'd wager a sedentary lifestyle and stimulants are a major culprit.
Humans detect drowning by elevated CO2 in the blood. This means people walking into downed weather balloons have no warning that they're running low on oxygen before passing out and dying.

IIRC most aquatic mammals detect low oxygen directly instead, allowing them to dive for over an hour without panicking. CO2 builds up in the blood, but they can feel their oxygen levels directly.

+1 for the spamming approach. I've been in the software and system engineering field for over 15 years and the best jobs I've got involved the least effort.

Sometimes I painstakingly craft out a cover letter and tailor my CV, but that seems to actually have a negative impact. My success rate is best when I don't write a cover letter at all; just attach your SO's CV to a blank email.

My guess is that it shows you don't really need their job, which makes you a more attractive candidate.
In the age of pretty much unlimited ad inventory and user ad blindness your only hope to improve click-through is (a) to know your user and (b) be able to grab their attention in a consistent manner, preferably several times a day. Not sure how Tumblr executed on either, most of my visits there were logged-out referred through some other sites.
Quick question for those who remember the time. What was BBSing like back in the Minitel days?

In the States and other places without an equivalent system, BBSs were pretty much the only way to connect in any kind of "on-line", but as soon as the Web became widespread BBSs died a very quick death. I would suppose that Minitel would have prevented an equivalent BBS scene from developing in France, but I have no idea. I know there were reasonably big scenes in other parts of Europe though.

I believe ABC, one of python's influence, used tagged pointers, but I can't find a quote on this. Not using tagged pointers was a conscientious decision from Guido (see e.g. https://github.com/dropbox/pyston/issues/181#issuecomment-62...)

[edited] Something that people often overlook when talking about optimizing python is that the "simplicity" of the C Python API allowed the rich ecosystem of C extensions. GC, tagged pointers, etc... are great, and often used in modern VMs, but they tend to make integration w/ C code more difficult. Without rich C extensions, no numpy, no scipy, no scikit learn, no tensorflow/theano/etc... I am not sure this is completely incidental.

[edit 2] Ah, found the quote I remembered about tagged pointers in ABC from Guido: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2004-July/04614...
How a Viral Loop on LinkedIn Got Me 76k Email Subscribers in 1 Month
The previous comment used "Python" without specifying which one...and part of me feels that to some degree Python 3 just put another layer on the mess because it still did not make the important distinction between texts as human readable artifacts and strings as a computer science concept. Or to put it another way, a stream of bytes can readily be parsed as a string of characters by an automaton because bytes can be parsed as characters and a stream as a string. But this all happens at a lower level of abstraction than text as something that humans read and write both with and without computers. I mean Python 3's distinction between strings and bytes in no way address messy problems like ß/ss in German.
I like Dan Grossman's HN Replies (http://www.hnreplies.com) for that: it gives you email notifications of comment replies.

You don't have Trump, but other than Switzerland, any of the European countries are within a generation of being ruled by an autocrat with far more power than Trump. From Franco in Spain, De Gaulle in France, Hitler in Germany and even some the of post WWII Chancellors were pretty autocratic. In addition, Europe seems to have far more tolerance for government intervention in everyday life. In addition, especially in Germany, criminal speech codes have kept a lot of badness under the surface without a legal way to voice it.

Thus, IMHO there is a volcano under the surface, and if it goes off and someone like Trump comes to power,they will be controlling a more pervasive government that can do far more harm than the US government.
This is blatantly inaccurate and outdated, which is not to say that there is not massive media conglomeration but rather the information presented is inaccurate.

This link is also reblog spam from a BusinessInsider reblog spam from some other "frugaldad" (FRUGALDAD sounds like a legitimate source of media conglomeration news, doesn't it?) site from 2011, and even BI stated it was inaccurate and outdated back then making it even more so now in 2017.

Anyway. Nobody bothering to check on this stuff, even in a highly intelligent community like HN, is a great example of how inaccurate or untruthful garbage spreads online.

I think it's depend on goals. I started contribute to VCMI because I wanted seamless maps, more layers than two, simultaneous turns, advanced path finding and smarter AI. All of it is very hard to implement with reverse engineering if possible at all.

Of course there are some very talented programmers who able to achieve almost anything, but it's nearly impossible to get external contributors into project like that and if main developers lose interest there usually no one to continue their work.

> Deprecated just means "do not use in new code"

I originally learned that "deprecated" was meant to indicate that the language no longer promised to include that feature in a future version. So, it still works now, but this is your warning that you should be moving away from it.
You know when the word "freedom" is used by Americans, especially American government, it can only refer to oppression, slavery, and war. Basically, the exact opposite. I wouldn't mind all of our crimes against humanity quite as much if we were just honest with ourselves and everyone else about what they are. But it has to be like this because most adults here are dumber than the naive little kid you describe. They don't realize the irony and are actually proud of such things. The mindset you grew out of as a little child is their adult mindset.
I believe it. I wonder if that figure assumes personal insurance and the like as opposed to corporate benefits. I imagine for the HN crowd, the US is the better financial bargain (obviously there are lots of other factors besides finances) but if I were low income maybe I would prefer the EU?
Since oxygen plays a rather vital role in our functioning, I'm curious why we can't detect low oxygen levels. Or perhaps we do detect them but only when it's dangerously low. How has it been confirmed that we detect CO2 levels instead of low oxygen?
I haven't heard of that stuff to be honest, so it's more likely in my case to get stuff into an FPGA than considering about a new ISA...
The metro might occasionally get passed by buses for brief stretches, but it's definitely faster overall. I have tried several methods of commuting and metro is easily the fastest, even though I have a reverse commute which makes other methods faster than they would be in the direction that most people are going.
I'm not sure I understand what you are saying. What is the point in peer review of what?

The fact that one team is more qualified to analyse a paper that another team has produced has nothing to do with whether or not that paper should be independently reviewed.

You're blaming women for not being "adult" enough in their response to juvenile male behavior. It is these men who should start acting like adults.

That's a ridiculous false dichotomy. When people own their preference and viewpoint, people respect them more. Men who act like juveniles should clearly act more adult. Fully grown women who act like they're timid middle-schoolers should also act more adult. It's the workplace where people communicate honestly and clearly that produces results when breaking new ground and dealing with subtle and complex trade-offs. (Again, this isn't a discussion of people or events in the article, but rather a general one.)
Happy Bobby Bonilla Day His annual $1.19M payday is here
I'de say that morally it is righteous, in the most basic sense of the word, but also you should remember that it's always easy to talk words and call for the spending of money that is not yours, to help others. Enacting these things in the real world is a different beast, and something as seemingly benign and harmless as "helping out the oppressed", can have unintended consequences.

Africa aid is a fantastic example of these consequences. The west have gradually realised over time that giving aid to these impoverished countries has far too often substandard effects to the long term health of the local communities. The aid creates dependancy, it breeds corrupt african polititians/war-lords who funnel-up all the aid money,. In summary something you'd think "Yep, definitely moral and righteous!" can do damage, even if I believe effective aid to africa is a thing we should do (but i believe a lot of the aid systems in place presently are utterly shambolic).

Give a man a fish and all that...

In the end politics and people are always more complicated than you think, more than I, you, or a little quipy saying could grok. So deriding and shouting at people (like you blatantly did to the parent comment, which was somewhat insightful and not low quality) who maybe just try and look at things from different angles, be the "Tenth Man" so to speak, isn't going to solve absolutely anything, and more relavently is not something you should be doing on HN, at all.
Freshman's dream
And cleaner still is to not obfuscate things to this degree, no matter what syntax is involved.

It certainly violates the “write once, read many times” principle: no matter how many times I look at something like this, I have to study the whole thing just to figure out what is even happening! Whereas, seeing "void g(x) { f(2, 5, x); }" is perfectly clear.

It certainly violates the “premature optimization” principle: in exchange for some unproven benefit, the compiler does gymnastics to bind arguments and adds compile time instead of just paying a little more in space and runtime to define a 2nd function that calls a 1st function in a completely obvious way.

It also qualifies as over-design. Even if a single binding is considered OK (and that’s a big “if”), there is every reason to expect that during normal maintenance someone will need to keep adding more. Then you have several lines of template-ese. A simple function is something that anyone can extend, whereas it’s not clear most engineers will even know how to maintain the binding version.
The same way any other adaptive trait evolved.

However, this just shows that they are outliers. It may turn out to be the case that there are just as many negative outliers for that GPA (or not, I don't know).

If you are asking if it is true that this is an old saying, I have heard the sentiment before many times. I can't remember the name of the book where someone said the people who got the to the moon were lead by a C-student but all of them had perfect GPAs. However, I don't know of that particular phrasing.
One of the sadly brilliant things with The Wire was that it had so many great black actors given great roles. It contributes to a stellar ensemble (which also includes a white Old Etonian). Seems like a lot of shows don't offer those opportunities, and the few great black roles that do exist these days are often given to... actors from The Wire.

The UK is even worse, David Harewood is on the record as saying left and went to America to find better roles.

Another weird and fascinating co-evolution of plants ant their pollinators is the genus Ficus (e.g. edible fig plants). The tiny wasps that pollinate the fruit actually die inside it, while a new generation is hatched, mates, then the males burrow a tunnel out of the fig and die, why females continue the cycle.
