Russia is a villain. Putin and his regime is a threat to world peace. The last thing we want is meek and complacent America that lets Putin wreak his havoc unchecked.
What's the general feeling about taking the meat after a collision? Where I grew up, people would butcher the animal if it's not terribly destroyed. Around here there's a wild hog problem, which are edible but not very tasty, so the local wildlife agency picks them up and they're used in soup kitchens to feed the homeless.
The Denney's (previous owners) used to charge for people using their property to go into the beach. Maybe you should read instead of calling names and getting bent out of shape?

"Joan Gallo, a former San Jose city attorney who represents the land owner, agreed that the courts should weigh in. The Deeneys had run a private business, she said, allowing invitees of their choosing onto the property, and that hadn't changed.

"It seems to us that it's an important issue to be litigated," Gallo said. "I have a strong belief that the Constitution doesn't require you to give up property rights or conduct a business you don't want to conduct."

Mark Massara — a surfer and attorney who is working with McClosky and the law firm Cotchett, Pitre & McCarthy on the case — said he believed the constitutional arguments have merit. But since that approach could drag on for years (think Geffen), his team opted for "a very narrow strike to the heart of this thing."
It is often the case that a judge will rule that something must be restored or maintained pending the outcome of an appeal. I got the impression the current order from the court was to not restrict access to the beach; the appeal might change that, but right now the law and its interpretation currently seems to be that he needs to allow access.

Am I misinterpreting the situation? Regardless, the ethics of the thing are clear, to me. This is theft of a public resource. And, I would hope the courts would continue to agree; a billionaire can buy a lot of do-overs in the US legal system, but hopefully, he can't buy the result he wants.
Congratulations, cptskippy. You just predicted 2001. Intel and HP combined lost to amd64.

This time around, Intel will have to take on more than just AMD. You think eschewing backwards compatibility will work better this time?

Yes, listening to that whole (and amazingly reported) story was what caused my interest to be piqued by this writeup. It covers a lot of similar ground, but the Startup podcast was such a fun listen.
We could redirect 50% of our military spending to single payer and it would not even remotely fix our problems. That amount of money would make single payer work in just California (ie 10% of the nation). We probably need to be spending $200+ billion more just on our existing medicare + medicaid + VA health systems as it is. People that keep saying things like that about military spending, don't seem to understand that the biggest problem the US has, is for single payer to work millions of Americans are going to have to lose big time, to the tune of a trillion dollar cut affecting millions of incomes & jobs that feed off the system bloat. You either need to come up with trillions of dollars in new funding to do single payer, or you need to tell millions of Americans they're going to be fired and or take big pay cuts (plausibly both).

I agree, there are better systems than France. My only reference to France, is about competitive salaries in the healthcare industry. Wages in that industry have to come down by a lot to match comparables in eg France, Germany, UK.

When people talk about single payer re the US, they focus on drug prices and insurance industry costs. They ignore that essentially every cost in the US system is inflated, including routine labor and dozens of side connected feeder industries (everything from saline supply to the cost of hospital beds to labor costs in elderly care). Most of the cost bloat in the system is made up of salaries for workers such as nurses, doctors, hospital workers, admin and health insurance employees. You could slash pharma costs nearly in half in the US and only save ~$150 billion of the $1 trillion we have to cut out of our costs to get cost competitive again. Every one of these cuts will have substantial economic consequences; cut pharma in half, lose a million high paying jobs directly & indirectly that support the tax base that pays for the single payer system (ie you have to figure out how to replace that; which would occur, but it'd take lots of time).

That said, the way the US is actually going to go, is we're going to do a slow mediocre drift into single payer, through gradual expansion as the existing convoluted system fails one tier after another (essentially failing up the economic chain; the middle class will gradually all be pulled into government healthcare by necessity as the system collapses). Maybe out of desperation they'll use medicare as the platform, since the politicians in Washington DC can never agree on anything it's most likely our result will be to use something that already exists and just enlarge it.
> The sole reason that Bitcoin is untraceable is because of mixers. Is it time to eliminate them?

Uh, the whole point of bitcoin is returning socioeconomic control to the people. Part of the socioeconomic control government exerts over its citizens is tracing financial transactions to punish those who make transactions the State has deemed "bad".

Getting rid of mixers just hands that control back to the State. Woudln't seem like much of a problem, if these policies weren't set by lobbyists and politicians with sick agendas. Who knows what could be a "bad" transaction tomorrow. Drones? CPUs without a TPM? All forms of pornography? Anti-government propoganda? We are talking about a massive slippery slope here.

Besides, moves like that just result in new tech further obfuscating things from the State, like always. Attempt to read everyone's messages, everyone will move to encrypted communication platforms. Attempt to ban mixed coins, people will adopt a cryptocurrency with an encrypted ledger or obfuscated transactional history.
> But I would not trust a government employee.

That isn't really a choice. You can either going along with what the employee says, or a) appeal their decision b) change the law, or c) abide the consequences. They also presumably have records.

As for why this path, California has a prescriptive right of access--if people have customarily accessed the beach through this path (for 5 years, I think), then they are permitted to continue doing so. The California Constitution also doesn't just make the beaches public, but explicitly provides for public access to them:

No individual, partnership, or corporation claiming or
possessing the frontage or tidal lands
of a harbor, bay, inlet, estuary, or other navigable
water in this state shall be permitted to
exclude the right of way to such water whenever it is
required for any public purpose and
the Legislature shall enact such law as will give the
most liberal construction to this
provision so that access to the navigable waters of
this state shall always be attainable for
the people thereof.
It's ~ 350km/h, can be done with TGV-like speeds.
Whilst true, those are neither distinctly American, nor recent, phenomena.

J.S. Mill on 19th century Britain, via Hans E. Jensen:

First, the universities were given the task of providing an unceasing supply of ideologically correct candidates for vital positions in government, church and business. The state was able to make the faculties of the "'venerable institutions'" of higher education, or rather indoctrination, assume this duty because it controlled appointments and held the purse from which "emoluments" flowed into the coffers of academics. Hence the members of the university "hierarchy" made it their "business, the business for which they . .. [were] paid," to "uphold certain political as well as religious opinions," namely those of the "ruling powers of the state" (Mill 1981: 429: and 1988b: 350). Thus the universities pursued with vigor their assignment to inculcate in their students those political and ideological views that were cherished by the power elite. The graduates of the ancient universities were, therefore, well prepared for employment in, and by, those institutions that were instrumental in perpetuating the existing maldistribution of income. All of this might come to naught, however, if the masses of the underclass should achieve anything approaching success in potential attempts at throwing off their fetters.

The state devised a second educational strategy in order to prevent such a calamity from occurring. According to Mill, the "elementary schools for children of the working classes" were given the task of ensuring that the poor would continue to accept docilely their dismal station in life. It was very easy for the state to force the public schools to assume this role. It did so simply by failing malignantly to allocate sufficient funds for the operations of what Mill identified contemptuously as "places called schools" (Mill 1982: 200; emphasis in original). These places were therefore understaffed. Moreover, the few teachers who were actually employed were completely "unfit for their work."

You aren't reading favourably. It could well be that the whole stealth superiority fighter concept is outdated due to new cheap sensor technology (and its use in AA defense systems) and the whole concept of carrier groups could soon be outdated due to something new, like undetectable diesel/electric submarine drones that cost a 3 orders of magnitude less, thus could be built as swarms that become impossible to deal with. My main point is, don't just look at the spending. And (I think your comment is symptomatic), don't forget the damn nukes, those things should be the biggest worry of all.
I don't own an iPhone currently, but I haven't had any problems with Gboard on a number of iPhones that I've used that have it. Is your statement applicable to all third party keyboards, or most of them?
Americans, for the most part desire sinecures. In fact they believe sinecures are a human right.

This is because the US has been able to provide these types of jobs for the majority of the population for many generations. What is a sinecure from the global perspective is normal from the US perspective.

Being able to consistently trade time for money is the core sinecure belief, the lack of risk is key. This is only possible in highly controlled almost game like situations. The "real world" requires proof of value and often a lot of risk.

A pet theory if mine is that many American companies use off shoring to continue to provide sinecure benefits for their important workers while lowering costs. Those workers don't see it as such as they already have sinecures in this model. The offshoring is necessary for company survival.
Things may change at steam. ATM many/most top games are not optimized for multiple cores, particularly the indi titles. That could change. A few updates to unity and other tools could see Ryzen become a gaming powerhouse. I'll be in the market for a new gaming PC in a couple months. I want to go with AMD-Ryzen. I like the concept.
Even accepting that argument on its own terms doesn't explain the observed difference. The population above 130 IQ is roughly 2:1 male. Even if programming aptitude is entirely correlated with having an IQ above 130 (and let's face it, most programmers aren't two standard deviations above the median), that doesn't explain the 5:1 to 10:1 ratios you see in the field.
For sure. I've bought six copies over the last few years and keep lending them out. They don't come back, but I'm OK with that.
I find it very telling that this comment, the root problem, was downvoted and remains unanswered.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding the question, but it sounds like the question is not asking how to parse HTML with a regex, but how to match HTML open tags specifically.

While you obviously can't match arbitrary HTML with a regex (because arbitrary levels of nested elements requires a stack-based parser), can you not match HTML tags with a regex? It seems to be that it should be possible since you always have the pattern '<' followed by the name of the tag, followed my zero or more "key=quoted-val" attributes, and finally a '>' token.

So, if the question is limited to just how to parse a single open token then it seems like all of the answers have just decided to echo what they've heard in the past which is "don't use regular expressions to parse HTML" when the truth is that a real HTML lexer/parser does use regular expressions for creating these "open" and "close" element tokens for the parser.

ObjC messages are essentially Smalltalk messages and they have different semantics.

The method bodies themselves are ordinary C functions -- you can call methodForSelector: on any object to get one of its methods as a function pointer. The only problem is passing the arguments correctly.
Fine--misfeature. Bug in the spec. Having to squint and scroll sideways and zoom is awful user-facing behavior.
Lack of ethics education for journalists (and politicians) shocks me...

Seriously: Put it in school, seems to be helpful (not only) for most other professions.
Excellent work and a fascinating result. Seems to me that both kinds of questions are fair game for any entrepreneur. Maybe if men were asked more "prevention" questions we'd get fewer big flameouts (Color Labs [0] comes to mind).

(Though I wonder about their use of the term "Turing test" -- do they mean "A/B test"?)

> Auckland University computer science associate professor Ian Watson, said this was a problem because the mostly 20-something-year-old, caucasian males creating apps were making race and gender divides worse.

Oh, fuck you and the horse you rode in on. The tech industry has given everyone in the world access to nearly all of humanity's knowledge. It has enormously extended everyone's ability to communicate. It has made it easier to learn, to solve problems, to find a job, to start a business, to talk and trade and work with people all over the world.

For less than $150 [0], you can buy a computer that is infinitely more powerful than the one I used to teach myself programming as a child, and gain access to all of the above.

And we have to get dressed down by clowns who charge teenagers thousands of dollars to fill their heads with garbage, leaving them saddled with debt and with no usable skills? You have to be kidding me.

Make no mistake, these maneuvers are not at all about "ethics". They are about a certain breed of parasites looking for new ways to latch onto a productive industry.

That said, a basic liberal arts education (not taught by those clowns) would certainly be useful to engineers. Or to anyone, really (I studied the history of philosophy in high school, didn't you?). If nothing else, it would give them the confidence to rebuff this kind of nonsense.

It's called an airplane and it gets you there in six.
doing some napkin math (and assuming you can lay track with a run length about equal to doing this by car) you'd need a train averaging 250mph. Current top average speeds for wheeled trains (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TGV) are in the 170mph range.
That's a max speed, not an average.

And again, for this fantastical train, we're earning the privilege of doing in 12 hours what a plane will do in 6.
Because the very wealthy are coddled and can get away with just about anything in the US.
Could you do it with a C++ variadic template?
You think the US is bad? Take a look at Canada. We aren't even speculating about highspeed rail. Ottawa-Toronto might be possible, but have a look at what Vancouver-Calgary would entail. Vancouver-Ottawa would probably mean laying more highspeed rail than China's entire network.
Again, broaden your view a bit. Switzerland has a very similar health care system with a similar cost structure and a similarly strong pharmaceutical lobby - just vastly better outcomes.
First time I heard that track I was using headphones, it was few years ago and that laugh got me shivers, it was unexpected and, at first impact, strange. It surprised me.
IIRC, the official Los Altos Hills fence-cutter was on holiday that week, and so the Mayor had to step in. Believe me, this was all above board.
This research illustrates beautifully how tech's pervasive and durable gender disparity problems are not solely attributable to a handful of deviant "assholes being assholes" and egregious actions such as obvious sexual harassment.

Many people who think of themselves as well-meaning and who are perfectly comfortable acknowledging that problems exist also play a role in perpetuating the negative status quo. These individuals are an opportunity for constructive engagement and real progress.
Have you ridden Acela and done so frequently? It's not that great of an experience of you haven't. Expensive and often delayed.
> The data is what it is, and I think you'd be hard pressed to dismiss the biological differences between males and females.

I'm not dismissing biological differences between men and women. I'm wondering how you're getting from "there are biological differences between men and women" to "biological differences explain explain why fewer women pursue engineering." There's a smoking crater where your causation argument should be.

> To address your points, I see accounting as administrative, akin to housekeeping, a supportive role of keeping the house in order. Programming is more about problem solving, entering unknown territories, and has more risk involved.

This is a superficial characterization (and also demonstrates an ignorance of what accountants do). In reality, the two jobs use basically the same skills: attention to detail, mathematical reasoning, and creativity within the very narrow frameworks of rules. Consider something like debugging code versus following money through a series of transactions. It's basically the same thing: keeping track of a lot of state in your head while going through various steps, each of which changes the set based on well-defined rules.

Japan also has a ridiculously high appetite for rail transport. It's so high that they employ pushers to squish the public into the trains.

"Wolf ... visited a publisher in Tokyo with a portfolio of the images. “He just flicked through them in about 30 seconds, and he said ‘so what?’,”... “I said ‘what do you mean “so what?” – it’s a nightmare, don’t you see that?’ He said: ‘what do you mean it’s a nightmare, I’ve been doing this for 40 years of my life every day – it’s normal.’”
Not only corrupt public officials, they end up in the coffers of large corporations too.
Why not?

She's not trying to crush him. Her goal is to provide access to the beach--which these solutions would. It would obviously be great if he just went along with the legal requirements, but moving the road or getting a non-profit to operate a gate is better than a protracted court battle, and it wouldn't hurt if everyone ended up happy at the end.

Why is this on hackernews?
It's possible. We just don't wanna.
You need to pair it with with specific topics on safety (preserving human life, body, and property), privacy (a grayer area), and professional ethics (responsibility to clients, self, society).

Practical discussions on why specific systems have failed and in what ways, particularly where ethics and professional violations can be observed.

Classically, the Therac 25 as an example of failure at many levels. See Tragic Design (a recently published O'Reilly book) for cases of bad design leading to tragic or potentially tragic results. A number of them could be turned into case studies in ethics. Examine why security breaches and privacy breaches happen. What obligation do we as engineers have to the public, the customers, and the clients acquiring the systems we make?

NYC to SFO in 12 hours is an average speed of 215mph, assuming the most direct route possible.

Practically you would require a top speed of ~250mph, and current current generation of conventional rail trains max out at about 190-210mph. But they could easily do NYC to SFO in 13-14 hours.

The Shanghai Maglev Train reaches a top speed of 268mph (during it's short 7min trip to the airport), so it could do the trip in less than 12 hours. But I'm not sure it's theoretically practical over distances that long.
If not fines, then imprisonment for contempt of court is a remedy judges have at their disposal. I'm sure it would not take very long for Kholsa to get the point.
I look forward for your initiative to change the California constitution to appear on the ballet. Until then, maybe we should obey what the courts say the constitution means?
Men and women are different. It makes sense to ask different questions. If I'm choosing which companies to invest millions of dollars in, you can bet I'll take woman specific issues, such as pregnancy, into consideration. The idea of a universal, gender blind rule set is absurd to rational decision making.
I would imagine that the reason why PDs tend to be against legalization, is because it provides them with a much broader list of targets for civil asset forfeiture, which goes into their budgets.

He's in contempt of court. That gives a judge near limitless power, including the ability to jail someone until they comply, indefinitely if necessary.
