Certainly to a degree it depends on the police district - here I've only been stopped once and they were stopping everyone randomly due to some incident nearby. I initially gave them my residence card but they didn't know what to do with it and were a lot happier to see my driver's license. My bike wasn't even anti-theft-registered (which is required here as anywhere else) but they didn't seem to care and just noted the frame number without a comment.

The source code is on Github and we have a package up on PyPI. The code is battle-tested as we've been using it in production for many months now, and also has very good test coverage. We've been working on this project for about a year, and we've now moved all development to the public Github repo.

Einstein, as everyone knows, was one of the most intelligent and insightful theoretical scientists ever born. His work on the photoelectric effect, which posited that the frequencies of light emitted by a material are quantized, rather than continuous, is what won him the Nobel prize. His thinking influenced the great thinkers behind the formulation of quantum physics as we understand it today: Bohr, Dirac, Heisenberg, Schrödinger, Planck, etc. But nobody, not even Einstein, has been able to come up with a way to describe the physical basis from which the laws of quantum mechanics (which we know to be true based on many, many years of experiments which have failed to falsify them) can be arrived at.

Contrast this to a topic for which Einstein is better known, relativity. The mathematical framework describing the effects of special relativity had already been partially discovered by Lorentz, but we credit Einstein for its discovery. Why? Because he postulated two simple rules from which these laws can be derived: 1) The speed of light is the same in all inertial reference frames, and 2) the laws of physics should be the same in all inertial reference frames. How about general relativity? A similar idea, that a person inside of an elevator should not be able to tell the difference between sitting stationary on Earth and accelerating through space at a rate of 9.8 m/s^2.

Einstein had opinions on the physical basis for the laws of quantum mechanics. But they were not necessarily the most popular opinion at the time, and definitely not today. As tylerhou posted in another comment, tests of Bell's theorem more or less disprove the existence of local hidden variables, meaning local quantities that behave deterministically but not measurable. It is still possible that there are nonlocal hidden variables, but this is not a popular opinion these days for a variety of reasons.

I would also like to point out that the various "interpretations" of quantum mechanics (e.g. the Copenhagen interpretation, pilot wave theory, etc) frequently fail to address what the nature of physical reality, i.e. what is the starting point, what is the axiom, what is "real". Are wave functions real? Do they actually exist, or are they merely convenient mathematical tools that can be used to describe reality? Are pilot waves real? Are density matrices real? Are Greens functions real? Are quasiparticles real? (n.b., most of these things are described as complex-valued quantities ;) )
What are the next steps for Lever? What new features or products are you planning?
I don't quite understand the 'blowhard professor' and bitcoin references. There are are hundreds of thousands of attributed peer-reviewed publications per year by serious academics who want to further the field.
Yeah we've made this density argument a thousand times. But it falls flat in a second, because broadband in US cities (which are very dense) still mostly sucks. No excuse for that. I can understand if our city broadband was amazing and rural internet was no good. But that's just not the case.

No, the US has MUCH worse food safety standards than the EU for example. I am tired of reading articles about all kinds of toxins and carcinogens that are byproducts of mass production, that are allowed by the FDA in "small quantities" but are completely banned in the EU. Same goes for food labeling.

Update: Regarding high speed rail and density, it should actually be the opposite. The hard part of building something like HSR is getting the correct permits and buying land, not just the construction. With the US being so spread out, there's fewer parties to negotiate land purchases from.
I'm sorry, I'm still a bit confused. If it "refers to the index in the data", how is it referring to both "Hey" and "Hello"?

Running the following doesn't seem to work for me:

var Wade = require('wade');
var search = Wade(['Hey', 'Hello']);
search('he'); // returns []
The more important point to take away from this paper is not that 1024-bit is already considered broken, so this doesn't matter. It's that the cost of 2048-bit DH---which is used and recommended today, and will stick around forever---has roughly the cost of 1024-bit DH when coupled with a special polynomial.
yeah. that'll ensure there are more poor people. investing in infrastucture means reducing costs for moving from point A to point B, which means more opportunities for people to move up the wealth chain.

Any infra investment should be seen with the POV of reducing poverty in the future, instead of being short sighted and asking "why not feed the poor?".

If you are so concerned about the poor, what are you doing here ? Go feed the poor and then preach!

Sorry for a little childishness, but you're making preposterous claims ('gender is a spectrum'), so you have to support them. Can I claim to be a female today and use girls' shower? Would you personally be ok with that? Can I declare myself an apache attack helicopter then?

I've done a ton of interviews, and I wonder if someone is quoting some offhanded comment I made without thinking as some meaningful aspect of the interview.

Little known fact: The addition of `exec`-with-parenthesis actually long predates Python 3. Python 3 just removed the old, braceless version.

Apple’s iPhone Manufacturers Join Legal Counter Against Qualcomm
That's 100% accurate but the parent post is clearly about EV certs attempting to provide added trust/identity beyond what's needed for the privacy provided by TLS, and it's skeptical that that's happening.

A more-SSH-like approach would be for browsers to identify PSL-level domains with simple site names, which can be done by-hand for the Alexa top 500 if nothing else; so "https://docs.google.com/whatever" maps to a green "Google docs> whatever" in your URL bar; click to reveal the full URL. The idea is that a local store for this mapping is distributed across all of the browsers out there, so by default you get a yellow arrow on `-> https://idontknowthisdomain.example/` and perhaps as HTTP goes south we get a red one on `-> http://thisdomainneither.example/`. But you can right click that yellow arrow and it asks "Do you trust the following domain?" with a "Name: ____" box to submit your own name. After that, this domain has been white-listed for you to have the given name, just as in HTTPS. Possibly you can even have the page itself suggest the name via a meta tag. The important point is that the user has to say that they trust this domain to have that common-name, before they see it pop up in green.

From there, the browsers can do what they already do best: phone home. If you get millions of different users suggesting the same official name for a web site, it's more reasonable to automatically add them so that more than just the instantaneous Alexa Top 500 is covered.

You still rely on the core certs to provide privacy, but people who visit a phishing site now see by default either a yellow or red arrow where they are accustomed to seeing a green one that they either set up themselves or someone else set up for them.
THIS, so much this!!!!

I'm working on overhauling (rewriting, from scratch) a project right now where the previous developer decided in his infinite wisdom that using ES as a database was a good idea.

I have tried repeatedly to explain to him, and the product owner, why using a search engine as a storage database is a horrific idea. Owner gets it, dev doesn't. I asked that dev if he could overhaul the project, what would he do, and he said "not use SQL at all, and use ES 100%". <_<

I think this is the problem with Mongo too... you have people misusing it, and then want to throw the baby out with the bath water and act like Mongo is the problem, when really, the problem is how they are using it.

Firefox is about to shoot itself in the foot again. Soon, all old add-ons will stop working, as Firefox tries to get add-on developers to change to their new WebExtensions API. (Which is almost, but not quite, compatible with Google's add-on format.) Many developers are not bothering, and will drop Firefox.

The article doesn't exactly simulate what Wade returns, but uses a simpler version. I added a note about it now.

[1, 1]

The item at index 0 is 1. This means that the item in index 0 of the data ("Hey") has a score of 1. The item at index 1 is 1, meaning that the item at index 1 of the data ("Hello") has a score of 1.

Edit: Your example with Wade isn't working because it ignores the first item in the query ("he") as it is a stop word. Searching for "h" will return both.

That, and one gets usually chastised when not finding a duplicate via this search box.

I always check Google results, then look at the yellow suggestions box for earlier posts and sometimes end up with a duplicate (rarely but still).

This usually ends up with a "closed as duplicate" (which is fine) but also sometimes end up with cynical, passive aggressive remarks on Meta.

I love SO (and SE in general). It helped me to understand and discover things I was not aware of.

But Meta is an abomination, full of people with ego issues and heavy complexes. I abhor this community, which is a shame as I stopped to file bugs in SO just because of the toxic environnement there.

>1. First America stops being world police.

Yes, how do we do this? I'd like to see us declare victory, and remove our troops from South Korea, Japan, Germany, the rest of Europe, the Middle East, and everywhere else. The UK did essentially this over the course of the 20th century. Is there any way to accelerate the process without world wars?

Does anyone have examples of groups working "together" that share one common interest, and are opposed on many other fronts?
Something I could never quite understand. I'm using Firefox but occasionally run Chrome for a few minutes. I do have a couple of extensions installed in Firefox. To me, Chrome might be faster, or maybe not. But honestly, I couldn't care less: even if Firefox takes a second, or two or even three more to show me a page sometimes, so what? I mean, two seconds? I guess I can wait that long, even if I look at tens of websites each day (which I'm not even sure I do).

If somebody gave me a Ferrari for free with the caveat that there's a guy sitting on the passengers seat who keeps track of where I'm going at all times, I guess I'd still keep driving my current car (hint: it's not a Ferrari).

And before the downvote reflex sets in in some of you: I'm not saying that you should be like me. If you like Chrome, great, good for you! It's just that the speed difference to me personally has never been a good enough reason to switch. YMMV.
And what is your proposed replacement? I've seen a lot of libertarian/ancap complaining about governments, but never any suggestions where the cure isn't worse than the disease.

FFS, look at history. When governments collapse, what springs up is never a wonderful, harmonious, anarchist collective. What actually happens is this: a short period of chaos, followed by the public willfully putting a strongman authoritarian into power when they're sufficiently sick of the instability and just want peace and quiet back. This is a constant pattern throughout history and it is ridiculous to think "this time will be different".
To governments, their own citizens are the enemy. We are a potential uprising just waiting to happen.
For me at least Firefox have been burning bridges like crazy.

The change in UI to Australis i could deal with, as it could be mitigated with extensions.

But "recently" they changed to GTK3 on *nix, and are now in the process of making extensions less potent.

All this makes it harder to continue using Firefox where it used to be the flagship browser.
Agreed. I want encryption not verified-identity from SSL. Self-signed certs provide encryption - browser makers didn't let that happen and created a $$$ monopoly in CAs. It wasnt until the CA list became so obviuously broken ('approved' CAs issuing bogus google.com certs for example) that letsencrypt became conceivable. I'll use the cert-ID and my own mechanism to validate the cert-ID, like a name system. a Distributed name system even.
What's hillarious to me is watching the liberal snowflake safe space left foaming at the mouth like rabid dogs about a non issue, theoretical maybe, crime like Russia collusion while completely ignoring the fact the US has not just meddled in elections in other countries but overthrown leaders, assassinated people, and destroyed entire countries with force! And are doing right this minute in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, etc!

I mean it takes a special kind of bat shit crazy to foam at the mouth looking for any dirt you can on an elected president you hate while totally ignoring the smashing, bombing, murdering the US has done to bring about new leaders, better energy deals, access to resources, and political change.
Maybe they should consider exactly how badly they used their post-Cold War dominance. Things like the Iraq war leeched their dominance, by showing them as unprepared, by showing them as an occupying power and by splitting them with most of Europe.

It wasn't the only decision that had this effect, either. The report might as well say "We used to be rich, but we spent it all on fast cars and drink."
I didn't realize that was in there, but yes.
You're absolutely right! Those calculations can be done without actual testing. The only wrinkle is that doing so comes with the risk of failing to foresee something or otherwise being wrong. So there are some error bars involved.

What kind of error rate are you willing to accept in models of pharmaceutical shelf stability? Bearing in mind that errors potentially translate into deaths, probably disproportionately of the less privileged among us?
There are 95,000 physical bank branches in the US and 500,000 employees at the 3 biggest banks alone.

AWS goes Hybrid with VMware
Our global hegemony ensures stability of trade for the entire world, and that stability is the reason that other countries eagerly trade and generally deal business with the US. Unfortunately, if we back away from our role as world police, the resulting power vacuum will see some other country take up the role at best, and at worst we could see another large scale conflict as emerging powers compete for dominance.

Our current foreign policy is far from ideal, but there is a delicate global balance which would be dangerously upset if we ceased global operations and "world policing." The GP is niave to think that such rosy, utopian intentions would not be taken advantage of by other global players. Look, for instance, at the current posturing by China in the Pacific. Imagine the scaling of their operations if there was no one in our position to apply pressure against them.

Someday, sure. But, globally, humans are still viciously tribal, and some form of enforcement keeps everything running smoothly for everyone. And while Americans foot much of the bill, there is no denying that our benefit is of larger proportion as well.

It's not just marketing. It's also Google websites that only work with Chrome.

For example, Hangout. I can no longer use Hangout using Firefox.

Or I think Gmail Inbox, which also came out only working on Chrome initially.

It's the sum of all these things that look very much like "best viewed with internet explorer" type stuff. I don't ever want to go back to such a world.
> Because the hate has spilled over into the good communities as well.

Is this really an issue? Are they going to /r/programming and dominating the conversation? Because I'm just not seeing it.

I think that the quality of a community is inversely related to the size, which explains why reddit "used to be cool". But the reason I still use reddit is because you can subscribe to communities you want - and there are still many good ones.

That said, there is room for improvement on the moderation side. I think a "peer-moderated" community would be awesome. Say for example, when a comment is flagged - a random but deterministic set of peers will make a judgement call. A "deterministic peer-jury" could be a useful mechanism for communities to grant voting/commenting/moderation rights.

The bigger issue in my opinion is controlling the discussion via sock puppets and underhanded moderation.
I'm right with you. I have no regrets about not getting in on it though. I have enough time sucking scrolling addictions.
A Brief Primer on AWS VPC Networking
Well

1.) It's always a text-based interface. The ORM merely hides the fact. Type safety is weak, as is with JSON, but both aren't un-typed.

2) Yes, they are, and there are a lot of good use cases for relational databases. But if you have a number of services that share nothing (especially not the database), what is the foreign key good for?

3) You can do any style with any database. Overly aggressive normalization in read-heavy environments can be bad, as is de-normalization in write-heavy environments. Choose the tool for the job..

4) Why all over the code? Can't you make it easy to find the model classes? Doesn't seem so hard. Also, is this so different from, say, EF code first? And anyway, doesn't every SQL database in fact, have multiple schemas (the one in the db, the one in the scripts, the one in the ORM and the one in the code?) Is that really so different?
I had a similar reaction.
Propaganda. It's a highly effective tool for manipulating public opinion by API. What do you think all of this talk about hacking the election is about? It wasn't just publishing private emails.
I was a firefox fan until recently. I guess it was firefox 51 or so and I switched to chromium purely for usability and performance sake. The page loading and bookmarks management was horrible at that point. Not sure how it is now.
