The simple flaw with almost all of these arguments is that if you don't show up, you still pay the price of the ticket. Therefore the airline makes a profit in not having to handle your luggage or anything else while still taking your money.
I am reminded of the last track on Information Society's[1] 1992 album "Peace and Love, Inc.", which was a recording of a 300 baud modem encoding an ASCII text message[2]. Their debut album, "Information Society"[3], used the somewhat obscure "CD+G" format, which included graphics that could be displayed by compatible players.

Close. It's cache invalidation and naming things. But I feel ya
Adafruit: $33M revenue is not "earns" $33M. Could be running at a loss for all we know.
Considering how meaningless words are, they seem to have quite an effect on on you...

I'm pretty sure your suffering would be alleviated if people chose to respect others' claims if injuries, at least in cases where the cost of doing so is absolutely zero. You can't pretend that there is absolutely no case for people to be upset with this naming scheme.

Politics, in this case, is only intruding on your valuable "technology time" because some technologists spent so much time technologizing that they started making completely tone-deaf decisions, and got everyone into this mess.
For one, the dilution of resources to get off this rock might take resources from actually protecting life on this rock, without resulting to anything concrete, and thus just bring our end much closer.

Take a hypothetical epidemic that wipes as all out, and that we could have prevented if only we gave money to more biological/medical research instead of space exploration.

If slavery is not wrong, nothing is wrong.
-- Abraham Lincoln

I've been trying to get an intuition (make myself feel good) about the material conditional logical connective and this seems to satisfy the case for a false antecedent and false consequent (¬p→¬q). The equally true statement seems to check out:

If slavery is not wrong, something is wrong. (¬p→q)

However this also evaluates to True which annoys me:

If slavery is wrong, something is wrong. (p→q)

And this evaluates to False:

If slavery is wrong, nothing is wrong. (p→¬q)

I get that the formal definition of → is different from English's if/then but that just makes understanding proofs so much harder. Perhaps someone could better paraphrase Lincoln in first-order logic?
"As mentioned in the previous essay, single parenthood correlates with a number of social maladies."

This may be true historically, but does it have to be that way going forward?
My thoughts, not based on studies but based on people I know, is that the general interest in marriage has declined as there is a preference for greater autonomy amongst both men and women, not to mention economic independence.
Marriage was born out of economic need, and was given a religious stamp of approval. If the same economic need isn't there, and developed countries are becoming more secular in their beliefs, it would seem only natural that marriage rates would decline.

But that doesn't mean people don't want children, or can't have children. With the introduction of ivf, and both egg and sperm donors -known or unknown- its possible for the birth rate to be maintained. It may sound bizarre now just as putting ones profile up online in search of a mate was at one time, but it could be become the new norm. Search for gametes the same way you searched for a partner at one time.

As far as the maladies of single parenthood go, much of that may be attributed to the education levels of the single parent and/or their poor economic circumstances. It doesn't have to be that way though. Of our last 4 US Presidents, 2 pretty much grew up without having a reliable father around for most of their life. They seemed to both have had pretty smart moms.
Looking for a Junior Developer in Munich
Job offer in Munich, remote work possible
I amazed commenters here are looking up non-rude intersections. Classy bunch!
Edx courses are fantastic. I found them to be the most intellectually satisfying, where other sites kind of water down the same subject.
I was looking for an issue to see if the project had addressed this at all before I posted this (failed to find it until after). I also had not read the SLAVEOF man page. So, I apologize for bringing up something I'm sure you're less than excited to have keep coming up.

I can respect (and disagree with!) the backwards compatibility argument.

I've always found you to be a considerate and thoughtful maintainer (no easy thing) whose work I really admire. So, I'm very glad to see that you've taken the steps you have on this front.

Thanks for your reply.
I'd love to see how those demand areas line up with the high unemployment areas. I'd wager they're geographically far apart because other than the pilots, the rest don't take much training (days to weeks) to get up to speed.

In Austin, the unemployment rate is <3% and Texas as a whole is incredibly low. Since we're one of the largest population states with an unemployment rate well below average, I assume there are numerous smaller places with well above average unemployment.

They track "average hourly earnings" which leaves out a number of non-monetary benefits, such as

* health + dental + vision insurance

* 401(k) matching

* ESPP

* other stock-based compensation, such as options

* number and flexibility of vacation days (i.e. if someone didn't get a raise, but got 5 extra vacation days, it certainly has value for them)

* free food, massage, yoga on premises, etc.

Tracking average hourly earnings also means that $1 annual salary CEOs such as Mark Zuckerberg or Larry Page are dragging down averages quite a bit. Every startup that pays sub-market salary in exchange for a generous options package is also dragging such average down.
That may explain unskilled labor, but what about "skilled" labor, such as plumbers and electricians? Huge shortage of these workers and they pay very well.
The price was not really what prevented me from using it. I just had different use cases and an open model in mind.

>I don't think we have any issues like that as a species, as a species we are pretty much thriving. That growth might not be built on the most sustainable principles, but we are slowly getting there.

Between environmental disaster and global warming that could wipe a huge part of humanity, the ever present possibility of a nuclear war, tolerance to antibiotics, and other such niceties, I can't even begin to see how would one think that...
Very true. Heck, China could also modify images to take advantage of vulnerable libraries.

Yes, this is a horrible outcome. We must admit that we have something here that is worth preserving. If we continue to fail in this we are in a very sorry state indeed.
Daimler has built and is building large battery factories. Posts about those don't get upvoted on HN. In the least it's best to see how this forum is a very partial / biased view of the industry.
Ask HN: Anyone making money with drones?
I picked up a DJI Phantom a month or so ago and have been having a lot of fun taking pictures with it. Not a big video guy yet, just better at photo editing software.

I even made a little instagram account that's slowly growing to post the pictures on. The whole thing is firmly still a hobby though.

Anyone here started a drone company? What does it do? I know there are many ways to profit from them beyond really nice pictures, like surveying, inspections, 3d modeling, etc, so curious if anyone is doing that here and how it's going so far.

Thanks!

> if you support byte-addressing you'd better as well be happy with byte-alignment

All ARM processors do this. The concept is called "natural alignment" and it's pretty common on non-x86. See e.g. http://infocenter.arm.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.arm.doc.... . The problem here is that a lot of code written for x86 wants more than that, e.g. byte addressing for non-byte-wide values.

What's worse is that companies hire that way too. They don't care about your ability communicate or understand a problem from a business perspective. They just care about your ability to write some contrived algorithm on a white board in 30 minutes without asking any clarifying questions.
In this particular case the therapy is being applied to cells that have been extracted from a patient. That allows a reasonable error rate where errors can be filtered out, and success verified before the cells are reimplanted. This is a strategically nice intermediate before having to run a therapy on a living organism. The technology in use here is not quite the same kind of 'DNA editing' as is found with tools like CRISPR, but rather a much more therapeutically mature (if technologically blunt) form of viral 'insertion of a block of code'.

With respect to actual code fidelity, errors in DNA come from a number of different sources. Every time DNA is copied (a cell divides) there is an inherent fidelity rate of the copy (on the order of a single mistake per billion writes). The payload here is on the order of a few thousand base pairs so copies should have a very high fidelity.

In this case a viral protein is 'inserting' its DNA randomly into the genome of the target cells. Imagine inserting a library of code randomly into a codebase. Certainly not ideal, and an issue that CRISPR technologies promise to help improve. However, given that the therapy is only being applied to immune cells that are only running the 'immune' section of the human codebase, and no progeny of those cells will ever have to become a brain or skin or run any of the other programs, the chance that the inserted DNA disrupts the 'immunological' code in the codebase is relatively small. And if there is disruption to some cells' genomes those cells could be screened out if they really distort something they should not.

With respect to DNA generally, common errors arise from undesirable but common chemical modifications to the code itself. The DNA can become damaged (by reactive oxygen, UV light, and through other chemical reactions), and while there are significant systems to repair that damage, oftentimes since there is only a single backup (DNA is 'double-stranded'), it's often impossible for that machinery to determine whether the error is on strand1 or strand2, so 50/50 chance of 'repairing' into the error.

Ask HN: Missing FCC comments?
I'm trying to figure out if anyone else's FCC comments weren't posted. I had posted one a few months back and could not find it through[1]. So I posted another one two days ago and have still not found it. I can find some of my friends, but not others. First I posted was through Battle for the net[2] and the second was through the EFF[3].

My comment through BFTN did go to my representatives, who did email me back.

Anyone else failed to find their comment?

Sometimes you have to jump into the source of some dependency (or even OTP itself) to really understand what's causing the error.

I'm pretty sure that not only does this guy have no sources, but is outright wrong in the case of Germans.

The American Salary is higher that Germans, but Germans also work less hours on average (with higher productivity mind you, but that's not important at the moment). It actually comes out to Germans having a better median wage.

Hi, alexis richardson here from weaveworks. We have a berlin office and would love to hire people who want to work in our main areas. See https://www.weave.works/company/hiring/
I think the m/s terminology is not technically correct.

The actual behavior of a "slave" would better be described as a "follower" or a "replica". In an IRL master/slave dynamic the master does not first do the work only to be copied by a slave. The slave does all the work while the master whips them.

It's better to choose a more technically correct metaphor/terminology.
I wanted to do the same thing, no results! I guess thats what having obscure names is all about
Classic example of starting with a solution and looking for a problem.

Consider going to another set of potential customers with no product at all and just interview them. It's much easier to get their time if you're not selling them something.

Ask what their business problems are. These could range from annoyances to serious revenue issues. Ask them how much it would be worth to make the problem go away.

Once you've gathered this information from several potential customers, find commonality and figure out a solution.

Then, without building the solution, pitch it back to them and ask for them to sign up. If enough say yes, then you have something worth building.

Consider getting the book Four Steps to the Epiphany.

True, but it has also been common practice for at least 20 years in the US to not use the term slave. Source: I worked on replication since 1996 and we were asked to use "supplier" and "consumer" at that time. Actually I've been surprised to see slave making a come back recently. Wondered if people hadn't received the memo or perhaps were outside the US cultural influence.
> actual mess

Doesn't seem that bad to me. Py3k was released and folks waited for the hobbyists to iron out the quirks. A few years later the libraries started supporting it. A few years later the forward-thinking companies have started switching. That's a normal software upgrade timeline. Heck, the other day I found out a new client is still running Windows 97.

Except in nearly every case, this is the reality of the situation: http://i.imgur.com/erINvSI.png

It isn't that the people are offended - it's that others are trying to get offended "on their behalf" as a form of virtue signalling. Also see most of the "cultural appropriation" movement. Where non-Japanese people get offended that other non-Japanese wear kimono while nearly every actual Japanese person I've seen on the issue expresses that they are fine and even fully supportive of foreigners wanting to wear kimono.

There's a difference between fighting for those without a voice and speaking on behalf of others who do not actually approve of what you are saying. Both can be a result of empathy - but it is important to recognize when you're doing the latter and when you're doing the former.

The number of black people I've seen who are offended that people would even think that they would take offense to the master/slave issue outnumbers the number of black people I've seen who think it is an issue to be fixed. Almost every individual I see calling to "fix" this issue is a white person speaking on "behalf" of black people.

> arguing that one day dogs will be able to talk, because why shouldn't they?

You misunderstand how evolution works. Humans are the product of over 10 million years of brutal selection pressure in favour of intellect. Before that, we indeed had about the same vocabulary as dogs (you should really say wolves, by the way - dogs are our invention).

If wolves/dogs were subject to the same pressure, then there's no reason why they would not eventually adapt in the same way humans did. However, humans got there first, and have so thoroughly colonised the earth that there is no chance of this happening.

> But to the level that it meta-tunes itself?

Well, you're extending AGI here into some kind of singularity runaway intelligence explosion. That's not within the scope of my argument. I have no opinion on that.

> it is only a clone and not at all 'artificial'

In my view, anything that is not naturally occurring is artificial.
Ask HN: Any “bootcamps” or courses for intermediate/advanced people?
Yesterday, I saw a HN job ad for One Month - a company that offers a 30-day "bootcamp". I looked at their courses[1] and noticed they're all aimed at beginners.

I'm past the stage where I need a course on Python syntax or HTML. Like many of you, I could teach myself these things. However, I would definitely pay $300 (the cost of the courses mentioned) for good hands-on intermediate or advanced coursework in both software engineering and computer science. Unfortunately I can't come up with any ideas at the moment, sorry :-)

Engineering requires every bit as much requirement gathering and need finding. It probably requires even more up front because physical artifacts are much harder to change.

But I don't see anyone suggesting that we remove math from engineering curriculums because the design programs can do the math for them.

The solution is to train more experts in human computer interaction, the same way we train architects and interior designers to work with civil engineers.
I'd say the article is actually inferring that marriage is what makes a family happy and stable. That and their use of the term "illegitimate" left me unable to finish the article. I'm sure some of it is my strong anti-marriage bias but it reads like being bound by contract and law is what makes a relationship and a family stable.
