Right, but it is not the plus operation that does this. You can reserve undefined behaviour to things like "write to a bad pointer".

Then a particular ABI could say "if your pointer overflows (by a our system specific meaning of overlow) then you have a bad pointer". Merely doing a pointer increment just gets you implementation-defined behaviour. The UB only happens if you plough on.

Such a setup wouldn't do much to save us from pointer bugs. But it would make optimizers more predictable.
If more races are held next year to accommodate more total runners, and the new runners are slower, and the number of races a given runner races each year stays the same, the average time of the nth finisher across any individual race would get slower.
I'm not familiar with Sweden's "feminist" government. Can you help foreigners understand? Was it, for example, a matter of existing staff members hiring new ones based on gender rather than on competence? Any reading material on the matter? It sounds like it's a well-known political argument in Sweden, I just don't know the background.

That's a fallacy.

That's one of the biggest reasons amateur's give themselves to never start.

Most people would rather work 9-5, and work for a boss they hate than to buy an apartment building that has serious cashflow meaning they would likely never have to go to a job for the rest of their lives.

There was a gorgeous 4plex in my hometown that sat for 3 months and I thought the same thing. Then I realized that too many people were chickenshit and everyone overlooked this gem.

Great neighborhood, good tenants, strong cashflow, no ground contamination, no murders/suicides and solid foundation with no significant asbestos
That sounds pretty interesting, but egads, why in the world are half-keyboards so bloody expensive! And this from someone who's bought a few fancy ergonomic keyboards in his day. But it seems to me that a half-keyboard could be a pretty good ergonomic option since you wouldn't have to worry about find a keyboard with the right fixed angles for two arms.
Yeah that makes sense. If there's enough of an enticement to adopt the infra service and you standardize the API at the bottom, any developments/contributions on top of it could co-exist and be more share-able. I'm reminded of the addon marketplace in Heroku. The underlying infra was consistent and general, which made third party plugins/addons/contributions easier (even to make money). Heroku ended up getting a lot of specialized support for platform customers that they probably couldn't have built out themselves.

I could totally see even seeding a possible 'marketplace' with your own services. Like perhaps Func as a service, powered by Hyper. And others also benefiting from the underlying infra being so simple. Why wouldn't a platform-provider use an infra service that's flexibly scalable on perf+price? They probably have the skillset on hand for that too and don't need any more finesse than already exists, beyond stability.

Anyway, that's just my own ramblings. Hope you're having fun with Hyper! It sure looks like a lot of love/tears went into it.
Some do.

But "fatter" != "fat". http://www.webmd.com/men/news/20041027/average-weight-for-am... points out that Americans are over 10kg heavier than the previous generation, but that's classified as "overweight" not "obese".

The progression from AMD to CommonJS and all the additional tooling that required is one of the worse things to happen to JS, but it's treated here like just a natural progression from worse to better. AMD actually works in browsers given the features they have. CommonJS requires tooling to function and IMO started the avalanche of tools we need today.

JS modules cannot come soon enough. I only hope Node doesn't screw things up for browsers too badly with its modules support.
It's amazing to me that Slack has been so successful, considering how so many other alternatives exist.

I've found several very annoying bugs in the OSX Slack client, and each time I wait a few months before trying it again, yet more bugs continue to occur.

It's impossible to un-join a team via the OSX app, or to remove a team that you partially created. Also, updates frequently force a logout and the password reset procedure is quite clunky.

I finally realized that the web version works pretty well so now I just use that when I need to use Slack.

I know this makes me sound old, but I really wish popular open source projects would just stick to IRC as it just works and doesn't require any proprietary client (and isn't trying to turn into video chat, screen sharing, etc.) Or I suppose I wish Slack would make its ecosystem available via IRC.
It's hard for me to personally see what I'd gain from Microsoft ecosystem + Microsoft phone over Microsoft ecosystem + iOS/Android apps, since their suite of apps for those platforms are quite good.

I have no interest in dockable phones or app handoff or any of that; never saw the point of it when using iOS + OS X, don't miss it now that I'm on Windows/Linux/Android.
I don't disagree with you but I think we need to be cognizant of the best way to transition away from the current value system.

I worry a step change will fail badly.

In my opinion Banthum has given an accurate description of certain branches of literalist Marxism. The theory has a descriptive part and a predictive/prescriptive part. The descriptive part is about human economic development through various phases up to Industrialization and is fairly accurate with respect to the societies Marx was studying. The predictive part is extrapolating this by adding further stages of Socialism and eventual Communism.

Precisely because Marxism makes predictions, it can fail to understand the current and future state of economics, while capitalism is just an economic system that exists and doesn't have to understand anything (just as Communism would be).

> it is easy to see the weakness of the current system, to identify the pressure points and where it will fail, collapse.

I don't think it is actually that simple. Marx saw the working conditions of coal miners in Germany as a weakness that would lead to an uprising. That revolution never happened and their working conditions improved within the system (unions likely played a part). I'm actually not aware of any Marxist revolution in an already industrialized country. (The Soviet Union and Mao's China famously miscalculated their industrialization plans.)

Today we might identify Automation as the weakness that will lead to a Socialist restructuring of society, with shared ownership of the means of production and all that. But it might all come differently and we could end up in a completely stratified society, without replacing Capitalism.

> Because one is not good at the latter does not mean the critique of the former is illegitimate.

I don't think Banthum was trying to insinuate that, but talking about something that's still happening as "late stage" is a bit presumptuous about your ability to tell the future.

> Are you suggesting that perhaps things have not significantly changed in regards to technology and the economy since the 19th century?

The complete opposite, I would think. Since the various problems plaguing the Capitalist system at the time didn't lead to its downfall and have mostly disappeared, any similar claim needs some very good arguments to explain why it will be different this time.
The "Playing Devil's Advocate" section takes this into account and simply orders all finishes for the year. This still shows the time increase.

Regarding demat for Mutual Funds let's look at it this way. NonDemat MutualFunds is also paperless and you get consolidated mutual fund statements nowadays. So there is no additional advantage of investing in only funds via Demat route plus you have to pay for it.

BTC-E has been seen by the Bitcoin community as "shady" for years. People have always recommend others to avoid using it. It was rumored to be an easy place to sell stolen Bitcoins. It has always offered strangely convoluted pathways to transfer fiat to financial institutions (see http://bitcoinworldwide.net/how-to-deposit-money-into-btc-e). I'm glad BTC-E finally got taken down. I am not surprised it was involved in illegal activities. One less shady Bitcoin company.

Now the top 12 or so volume-ranked Bitcoin exchanges listed at https://cryptowat.ch are perfectly legitimate trustworthy companies. The ones I'm not sure about are CEX.IO and Luno (not saying they aren't trustworthy, I just don't know them that well) and, well, Bitsquare which as a decentralized exchange is bound to have some shady participants.

>I also worked on projects with a great MVC pattern with jquery handling the view and it worked nicely

>At a certain size you should look into frameworks

I hear this a lot--the idea that jQuery or vanilla JS can work for smaller projects if well-organized, but larger projects require frameworks--however, I honestly have no idea how it makes sense.

Seems to me that if you have a good pattern and foundation, then it should scale up to larger projects; else, what we're really saying is that it's still a mess, but a small mess that's manageable because the project is small and there isn't that much code.

But, the framework dogma these days is such that we dare not even suggest undertaking a large project without committing to an "acceptable" framework du juor.

I say this as someone who sees some value in frameworks, but also doesn't believe that the ROI is always there, or that it is absolutely necessary to use a framework on even larger projects. After all, frameworks aren't magical. They are just code. More specifically, they are reusable libraries attached to pattern enforcement. Why can't I choose a couple of libs, come up with reusable code, and implement my own patterns without all of the added cruft, opinion, politics, and risk of jumping on someone else's framework?

Plus, many frameworks have just gotten way too big and complex, and we too infrequently emphasize the cost of using a framework vs. simply championinig the benefits. I want one-way data binding, but I have to change languages, introduce copious build steps, and generally follow all of your opinionated patterns, introducing layers of cruft and structure? Then, after all of this, you may change course with no upgrade path or the framework may simply become unpopular? No thanks.
An AWS certification will be of most benefit if you're interested in working for a consulting company or MSP that specializes in AWS work. After that it may help you get through the HR screen at larger companies, but that may be counteracted by your lack of a college degree. With that said, there are some tech degrees that are worth the time and can open doors or increase salary. The Red Hat certifications do provide value for system administrators/devops as they're known to be difficult and a good test of linux knowledge. If you're interested in security, I've seen a fair number of positions asking for a CISPP cert. If you want to work in project/product management the PMP does significantly increase earnings. You'll also find that Cisco or Windows certs are valued if you're going to specialize in those systems. Those are the only certificates I've seen companies ask for or value. Every other tech cert seems to be a nice to have and provides minimal value. If you're interested in the certification go for it, but don't expect it to open many doors.

Can we make a cryptocurrency that automatically only has value iff it is not declared a security by the SEC?

Whenever it is not declared a security, there is an expectation of profits, which would now qualify it as a security under the Howey Test. But if it is then declared a security, then there is no expectation of profits, which would subsequently disqualify it as a security under the Howey Test.

I really REALLY want to see this happen.

The concept involved here is extraterritorial jurisdiction--the US claims the right to enforce its laws on its citizens abroad in some circumstances. The most notorious uses in the US are FATCA (basically forcing foreign banks that do business with US citizen to hand information over to the US) and the FCPA (allowing anyone with pretty much tangential relationship to the US to be sued for bribery). It's telling that the FIFA corruption scandal was brought, not by any EU courts, but by the US federal prosecutors.

In these sort of situations, the main thing that tends to apply is not the ability to get a judgement in court but the ability to get that judgement enforced. So if, say, Fiji were to make up a law and convict, say, Donald Trump under it, no one would care--Fiji would have no practical way to enforce that judgement. But the US can generally get its judgements enforced, even outside the US.

In the specific case of the financial world, the size and importance of the US financial markets gives the US unparalleled power to enforce judgements. The US could not only lock you out of dealing with USD transactions directly, they could also direct banks that do business in the US to not do business with you.
"100 million paying 10k is much more likely."

10K is already well within the range people spend on births (currently about $8k including prenatal and postnatal care).

Not to mention the cost involved in raising the child to adulthood. :-)

You might even be able to charge $50k or $100k, if it actually got to the point of design-to-order (which, granted, would be orders of magnitude more difficult than simply removing one bad gene).

How much would a parent pay to have a kid with the mind of Richard Feynman and the body/appearance of David Beckham, or the mind of Marie Curie and the body/appearance of Kiira Korpi?

Quite a lot, I'd imagine.
The 2017 Ionic Developer Survey Results
These aren't really great for learning about computer vision or deep learning, but are great for building projects that require image classification.

E.g., recall the awesome project for lego sorting by jacquesm[0] ? He built his own model using Keras and Tensorflow, but you may be able to achieve similar results by using Clarifai's feature to train your own models with no understanding of deep learning. This is great if your goal is to build a thing, like a lego sorter, but not so much if you want to learn how to build a state of the art image classifier.

If you're interested in learning about computer vision or deep learning, I recommend searching this site to find threads that cover that extensively. Good luck!

Excellent, i wish all explanatory posta were this direct and clear.
Being a mother myself and having witnessed many of my friends become parents, if there's one take away for me it is this - no amount of preparation can get you ready for gamut of feelings you'll experience as a parent. Yes, there is exhaustion, there is self-doubt, there is an overwhelming feeling of being alone (especially until the baby starts to talk). But, there is also the inexplicable high of being completely responsible for shaping the future of another human being, experiencing the joy of being a hero in the eyes of your child.

So I am not really sure I buy the "rushing without asking questions" part. I don't know what questions would prepare for this unique experience. Please understand that I am, in no way trying to demean you or question.

Another thing that motherhood has brought about is that every problem gets put into a larger context. Small workplace squabbles do no seem as important as teaching math or alphabet to your child. As an engineer, I also see that I have become more efficient with my attention span, time management, energy management and most importantly content with life.

Ask HN: Owning a company while on H1B
I know similar questions have been asked several times and many times the response has been "you can't start a company and work for that company while on H1B without proper employer-employee relationship".

But this question is slightly different: Can I incorporate and own a company while I am on H1B and work for my sponsoring employer? I won't generate any kind of income from my company any time soon (may be never), the company is just for liability protection for me.

I know I can start a company in my home country, but I prefer having a US entity.
